[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a laver manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly, to an arrangement of an indoor conveyor for transporting a laver cage holder in an upright position close to each other in a drying chamber.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, a commonly used apparatus for producing laver is for producing dried laver while circulating a laver holder through a conveyor through a paper-making section, a dewatering section, a drying room, and a stripping section. (For example, JP-A-60-224777).

FIG. 5 is a front view of a conventional drying chamber.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a drying chamber, in which endless chains 21 as indoor conveyors are disposed on the left and right sides. Reference numeral 3 denotes a laver cage holder, which holds a laver cage 3b on a horizontal rod 3a, and the raw laver m adhered to the laver is attached to the laver cage 3b. As shown in the figure, the seaweed holder 3
Both ends of the horizontal rod 3a are laid horizontally on the left and right endless chains 21,
The raw seaweed m is dried by the warm air a sent into the drying chamber 1 while being transported in the standing posture.

FIG. 6 is a side view of the endless chain 21. As shown in FIG. The endless chain 21 is provided with pin-shaped projections 23 projecting at a pitch, and the horizontal rod 3a is locked by the projections 23 and is conveyed in the direction of the arrow. 21a is a roller constituting the endless chain 21, and 21b is this roll 21a
This is a substantially oval horizontal plate axially mounted by c.

[0005]

The endless chain 21 has a large tension since a large number of laver holders 3 are laid horizontally. Therefore, as the endless chain 21, a large and strong endless chain is used. Incidentally, the size of the chain is generally indicated by a number, and the larger the number, the stronger the chain.

At present, a chain used as an indoor conveyor in a drying room is, for example, a very large and strong chain of about 80th. Since the endless chain 21 is made of such a large and strong material as to endure the tension, the interval T between the projections 23 is also large. For this reason, the interval T 'of the laver cage holder 3 conveyed in the standing posture in the drying chamber 1 becomes large accordingly, causing a space loss in the drying chamber 1 and increasing the length of the drying chamber 1. Was.

If a small chain with a small number is used,
Although the distances T and T 'become smaller, the small chain has low strength and cannot withstand the tension.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide means for using a large-sized strong chain having a large number as an indoor conveyor and reducing the distance between laver holders.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the indoor conveyor 2 in the drying chamber 1 is provided with two endless chains 21,
21 are arranged side by side at a half pitch apart from each other.
Then, the horizontal rod 3a of the seaweed holder 3 is laid on the protrusion 23 projecting at a pitch from each endless chain 21, 21 so that the seaweed holder 3 is conveyed in the drying chamber 1. It was done.

[0009]

According to the above construction, the distance t between the projections 23 is 1/2 of that of the conventional means, and the laver holders 3 are brought close to each other to lie sideways on the endless chains 21, 21 in a standing posture. The length of the drying chamber 1 can be reduced accordingly.

[0010]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of the laver manufacturing apparatus. Reference numeral 1 denotes a drying chamber, in which an indoor conveyor 2 composed of an endless chain is disposed. 3 is a laver holder, and the raw laver spread on the laver of the laver holder 3 is:
It is dried while being conveyed by the indoor conveyor 2.
The laver cage holder 3 holds the drying room 1 by the conveyor 2.
From the rear to the front exit 4.

In front of the drying chamber 1, a conveyor 6 composed of an endless chain is provided. A transfer conveyor 9 is provided along the bottom and rear of the drying chamber 1. 11 is a sprocket with an endless chain adjusted. On the lower traveling path of the conveyor 6, a paper extractor 7 and a dehydrator 8 are provided. A stripping section 10 is provided on the upper traveling path of the conveyor 6. Therefore, abstract 7
The laver holder 3 in which the raw laver is attached to the cage in
After passing through the dewatering section 8, the sheet is transferred from the conveyor 6 to the transfer conveyor 9 in the lower front part A of the drying chamber 1 and is transported straight from the front to the rear along the bottom of the drying chamber 1 in a horizontal posture. You. The laver cage holder 3 is conveyed horizontally to the transfer conveyor 9 so as to reduce the space for conveyance at the bottom of the drying chamber 1. It is also possible to design the transport conveyor 6 and the transfer conveyor 9 from the same endless chain, or to divide the transfer conveyor 9 into a plurality of parts.

The laver holder 3 rises vertically from the bottom B at the rear of the drying chamber 1 and is transferred from the transfer conveyor 9 to the indoor conveyor 2 at the upper part C at the rear of the drying chamber 1. Then, the raw seaweed is gradually dried by being conveyed from the rear part C to the front part D in the standing posture by the indoor conveyor 2. Further, the laver holder 3 is transferred from the indoor conveyor 2 to the transport conveyor 6 at the front part D of the drying chamber 1 and sent to the stripping section 10, where the dried laver is peeled off from the cage. The dried seaweed holder 3 from which the dried seaweed has been peeled off is returned to the paper making unit 7 by the conveyor 6.

As described above, the laver holder 3 is transported straight from the upper rear portion C of the drying chamber 1 to the upper front portion D. Therefore, in the early stage of drying, the moisture content of the raw seaweed is extremely high, and in the area E1 near the rear where a high-temperature atmosphere is required, and at the outlet 4 immediately before the end of drying, where the moisture content of the seaweed is low and a low-temperature atmosphere is required. The nearby area E2 is completely separated, and the temperatures of the areas E1 and E2 can be completely separately controlled.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the indoor conveyor 2, FIG. 3 is a side view, and FIG. 4 is a front view. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4,
The indoor conveyor 2 has two endless chains 21 arranged in parallel. Reference numeral 21a denotes a roller, and reference numeral 21b denotes a horizontal plate on which the roller 21a is pivoted by a pin 21c. An angle-shaped frame 22 is attached to the horizontal plate 21c, and a pin-shaped projection 23 is protruded from the frame 22. As shown, the horizontal bar 3a of the laver holder 3
Is transported with its both ends locked by the projections 23.

As shown particularly well in FIG. 2, one of the endless chains 21 and 21 is arranged side by side by a half pitch with respect to each other, so that the protrusion 23 of the one endless chain 21 and the other endless chain 21 are provided. The interval t between the protrusions 21 is
The interval T 'of the conventional laver holder 3 is 1/2 of the conventional interval T shown in Fig. 6, and the interval t' of the laver holder 3 is also 1/2 (strictly, 1/2 or less) of the interval T '. Therefore, the laver cage holders 3 are conveyed in the drying chamber 1 in an upright posture close to each other, so that a larger number of laver cage holders 3 can be housed and transported in the drying chamber 1, and the total length of the drying chamber 1 is accordingly reduced. Can be shortened. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4477, the present invention can also be applied to a system in which a laver holder is carried into the drying chamber from the front entrance of the drying chamber, circulated through the drying chamber, and carried out from the front exit.

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides a drying room 1
The indoor conveyor 2 has two endless chains 21 and 21 which are arranged side by side by a half pitch with respect to each other, and each endless chain 21 and 21 has a projection 23 projecting at a pitch.
Since the horizontal rod 3a of the laver holder 3 is laid horizontally and the laver holder 3 is conveyed in the drying chamber 1, the interval t 'between the laver holder 3 is reduced to half that of the conventional means. The drying chamber 1 can be conveyed in close proximity to each other, so that the density of the laver cage holder 3 in the drying chamber 1 can be increased, and the overall length of the drying chamber 1 can be shortened.
