BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an endless chain orbit stabilizing apparatus in a vinegar washing apparatus for continuously immersing fish pieces for sushi in vinegar.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Fish pieces for sushi must be stored for several days before eating or picking up for several days so that they do not deteriorate or decay. The vinegar in the vinegar and wait until the vinegar is properly soaked in the fish meat pieces.Remove the vinegar from the vinegar and finish the vinegar washing.Place the vinegar-washed fish meat pieces on sushi rice and press until eating. However, after putting fish pieces in the top vinegar tank, the next piece of fish meat cannot be washed with vinegar until the vinegar penetrates into the fish pieces and removes the fish pieces with the vinegar infiltration. When the vinegar was washed with vinegar, it was necessary to infiltrate a piece of fish meat into vinegar with one worker in each of several top vinegar tanks. In addition, there was a problem that the soaking time of fish pieces was not constant. Therefore, the applicant has disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-53174 that the fish pieces are continuously transferred by a conveyor, and the fish pieces pass through the top vinegar tank during the transfer of the fish pieces.
It was proposed that the vinegar washing of fish pieces could be saved.

[0003]

The problem to be solved is that during the transfer of the fish piece, the endless chain may sway or move up and down, causing the saucer to fall off and the fish piece to move. It is.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a track stabilizing bracket is provided adjacent to an endless chain to prevent the endless chain from swaying or moving up and down, and to prevent a saucer from falling off the endless chain and a fish piece from moving. An apparatus characterized by being eliminated.

[0005]

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of an endless chain orbit stabilizing device of the present invention.
And a driven shaft 2B parallel to the drive shaft 2A at the rear.
, And the sheaves 2a and 2a are provided at both ends of the drive shaft 2A, and the sheaves 2b and 2b are provided at both ends of the driven shaft 2B, respectively, between the sheave 2a of the drive shaft 2A and the sheave 2b of the driven shaft 2B. And endless chains 3A and 3B are respectively stretched between the other chain wheels 2a and 2b,
A support rod 4 projecting inward from the endless chains 3A, 3B at opposing positions inside the endless chains 3A, 3B stretched in a parallel state.
A and 4B are attached at regular intervals P,
Conveyor 2 is constituted by left and right endless chains 3A and 3B, and a pan 5 supported between endless chains 3A and 3B. I do.

On the other hand, a bottom vinegar tank 7 which is slightly wider than the width of the tray and has a depth enough to sink the tray 5 is provided at a lower portion of the lower side of the conveyor 2 through which the tray 5 passes. A supply table 8 for fish pieces F is provided at the front, and a take-out table 9 for fish pieces F is provided at the front, so that the supply table 8 side of the top vinegar tank 7 is deep and the take-out table 9 side is gradually shallow. A drain pipe 12 is provided at the bottom 7a on the 8 side, and a vinegar storage tank 10 is provided at the top of the conveyor 2,
A supply pipe 11 for vinegar V is disposed in the top vinegar tank 7 from the tank 10. The receiving tray 5 pivotally supported between the endless chains 3A and 3B of the conveyor 2 has a front edge 5C and an upper end of a rear edge 5D opened from a bottom wall 5E having an infinite number of through holes 5e. Support arms 5A and 5B are provided for supporting rods 4A and 4B protruding from 3A and 3B, and the entire receiving tray 5 forms a boat bottom type, and several detachable eye plates 6 are mounted on the upper portion of the receiving tray 5. Is placed.

Since the endless chains 3A and 3B are swayed and moved up and down by driving, the brackets 14 are attached to an appropriate number of columns 13 holding the body 1, and the endless chains 3A and 3B are mounted.
The protrusion 15 is attached to an adjacent position substantially in contact with the tracks A and 3B. Specifically, as shown in FIG.
Of the roller link plates P, P of the resulting roller chain
A protrusion 15 is projected between the endless chains 3A, and the endless chain 3A is
3B is prevented from moving sideways and up and down. In the embodiment, the track stabilizing brackets are provided at eight locations on each of the upper and lower sides along the columns 13.
Have been attached . Mutankusari 3A, on the lower side of 3B, to form an endless chain receiving 16. As a result, the endless chain receiver 16 protrudes.
Since the roller R is sandwiched in the up-down direction by the starting 15,
The orbits of the endless chains 3A and 3B are stabilized. Also, endless chain receiving
By forming the concave portion 17 at the center of the clasp 16 , oil falling from the endless chain can be received. Incidentally, the projections 15 Mutankusari 3A, from below the upper portion of 3B, from above the lower side, the track when such pressing each stabilized.

[0008]

According to the endless chain orbit stabilizing device of the present invention, when the conveyor 2 is started, the receiving tray 5 is arranged so that the bottom wall 5E is always down by its own weight without distinction between the tension side and the relaxation side of the conveyor 2. When it moves downward from the driven shaft 2B side at the rear part of the body 1 to the front drive shaft 2A side, it sinks deeply into the vinegar S of the top vinegar tank 7 at the driven shaft 2B side, and as it reaches the drive shaft 2A side. It gradually rises from inside the vinegar S, separates from the vinegar S when it reaches the drive shaft 2A, and passes over the top vinegar tank 7 when moving from the drive shaft 2A side to the driven shaft 2B side. After the conveyor 2 is started as described above, the fish piece F is placed on the tray 6 of the tray 5 which is sequentially shifted on the supply stand 8 side. The vinegar S that has passed through the vinegar S contained in the tray 7 and has penetrated the perforated plate 6 through the through hole 5e of the tray 5 or the vinegar S that has penetrated the front and rear edges 5C and 5D of the tray 5 Piece F is evenly washed with vinegar. When the saucer 5 floats as it approaches the drive shaft 2A side, the vinegar S that has infiltrated the saucer 5 is discharged from the through hole 5e into the top vinegar tank 7 and a part of the vinegar S that has permeated the fish meat pieces F. Is also shaken off, and when it reaches the drive shaft 2A, it is detached from the vinegar S, and the tray 6 on which the fish pieces F are placed is removed from the tray 5 which is sequentially shifted on the take-out stand 9 side. Transfer the vinegar-washed fish pieces F on the plate 6 removed from the saucer 5 onto sushi rice,
The perforated plate 6 is placed on the original receiving plate 5 again, and the fish pieces F are continuously
Wash with vinegar. During the above continuous movement, the endless chains 3A and 3B do not fall off the predetermined orbit by the orbit stabilizing device.

[0010]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the endless chain orbit stabilizing device of the present invention, a worker supplying fish pieces to the saucer at the rear of the fuselage and an operation of extracting fish pieces washed with vinegar at the front. Because two members can wash fish pieces continuously with vinegar,
Labor washing of fish pieces can be saved and labor efficiency can be significantly improved. Moreover, since the fish pieces to be vinegar-washed pass through the vinegar in the top vinegar tank while being transferred by the conveyor having a constant rotation speed, the vinegar-washing degree of the fish pieces is made uniform and intuitively performed. It doesn't require a high level of skill like vinegar washes.
Also, by adjusting the speed of rotation of the conveyor,
The degree of vinegar washing can be changed according to the change in climate, and vinegar washing suitable for storage can be performed. Furthermore, the endless chain orbit stabilizing device makes it possible for the endless chain to move along a predetermined orbit and not to move sideways or to move up and down, thus preventing dropping of the saucer from the endless chain and movement of fish meat pieces. .
