DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fluid in which the swirling operation of a fluid is adjusted within a predetermined angle range so that the swirling operation until the swirling fluid reaches a discharge port is used for cleaning and mixing and stirring. A swivel adjustment mechanism and a washing device for soft vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and cabbage, and a paste-like fluid such as tomato puree, ginseng paste and celery paste, or a powder such as flour, buckwheat flour and sugar. The present invention relates to a mixing and stirring device for mixing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, swirling of fluids has been used in various fields such as mixing of different types of fluids and strengthening of crushing impact of a jet. However, swirling due to swirling constitutes a cavity at the center of the vortex. Since the swirling fluid is quickly sucked into the outlet,
The structure is such that the fluid linearly reaches the outlet.

In addition, flexible vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, and cabbage are washed in a washing tank in which air jet pipes having a plurality of water jet holes on an upper side wall and a plurality of air jet holes on a lower side are laid in parallel. It has been done by passing through.

Further, to mix paste-like fluids such as tomato puree, ginseng paste and celery paste, or powders such as flour, buckwheat flour and sugar, put different kinds of paste-like fluids and powders into a mixing tank. By rotating the stirring blade.

[0005]

Therefore, in the swirling operation of the fluid, it has been difficult to positively use the impact force of the vortex in the swirling process.

In addition, flexible vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and cabbage are washed in a conventional washing tank in which air jet pipes having a plurality of water jet holes on an upper side wall and a plurality of air jet holes on a lower side are laid in parallel. According to the method of feeding and passing vegetables, light flexible vegetables float on the top and there is no circulation of water flow, so that there is a trouble that the vegetables must be manually inverted one by one.

[0007] In addition, the foam jet injected from the air jet pipe has a weak impact force, as apparent from the fact that the air bubble generating sack is attached to the water tap so that no splash is generated, and the expected cleaning power is obtained. There are also problems that cannot be solved.

Furthermore, since the surface layer of the soft vegetable has a layer of wax called a cuticle layer and repels water, the cleaning apparatus as described above can perform only incomplete cleaning.

[0009] Paste fluids such as tomato puree, ginseng paste, celery paste, etc., or flour, buckwheat flour,
Mixing powder such as sugar, or crushed granular material,
Although a certain degree of mixing can be achieved by rotating the stirring blade, uniform mixing cannot be obtained unless stirring is performed for a considerably long time.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention adjusts the swirling operation of a fluid within a predetermined angle range so that the impact force of a vortex in a swirling process can be positively utilized. At the same time, it is intended to use this for washing soft vegetables and for mixing paste-like fluids, powders such as flour, buckwheat flour and sugar, or pulverized granular materials.

That is, a circulating flow of a predetermined width descending into the tank at a predetermined angle is provided on one side of a cylindrical or polygonal column-shaped circulating tank provided with a discharge port formed at a side wall with a circulating angle and a discharge port at the bottom. By projecting the adjusting body into the circulation tank, the swirling operation of the fluid in the circulation tank is adjusted to a predetermined angle range, and the downward propulsion force can be artificially adjusted according to the purpose.

In addition to this basic structure, a cleaning object inlet is provided at a position lateral to the circulation adjusting body, and a flow adjusting plate is provided at a position facing the cleaning object inlet at an upper portion thereof to prevent the swirling vortex.
In addition to forming a cover to block the input material that swings due to the rolling impact force , the water flow outlet is connected to the cleaning object removal tank to form a washing path for the flexible vegetables to circulate, and the reversing impact force of the swirling vortex is used. To wash flexible vegetables.

[0013] Further, a plurality of jet ports formed at the side wall with a circulating angle are set, and different types of paste-like fluids and powders are jetted and merged and circulated in the mixing tank. The mixing and agitation of the paste-like fluid or the powder was performed using the reversal impact force.

And the protruding position can be adjusted, or the circulation adjusting plate can be replaced.

The apparatus for cleaning flexible vegetables comprises a cleaning material inlet 11 at a position lateral to the circulation adjusting body 5 of the circulation tank 1 constructed as described above.
Is provided so that the cleaning object is continuously supplied to the charging port 11 by a transport mechanism 22 such as a conveyor, and the cleaning object after cleaning is transported from the water outlet 4 to the cleaning object removal tank 6. As described above, the water discharge port 4 and the cleaning object removal tank 6 are in communication with each other by the transfer pipe 41.

At the position facing the charging port 11, the flow control body 5 is coated so as to prevent the input cleaning material from directly colliding with the side end of the flow control body 5 and being damaged. The cleaning lid 12 is formed so that the cleaning object smoothly circulates and reaches the cleaning object take-out tank 6 from the discharge port 4 while further rotating inside the transport pipe 41.

The water flow injected from the jet port 3 is
The swirl swirls along the inner wall of the circulation tank 1 depending on the angle, and collides with the circulation adjusting body 5 to generate a vortex, the swirl descent angle is corrected, and the swirl is further swirled. It reaches the removal tank 6 and is discharged from the circulation port provided in the removal tank 6 as it is, or is again circulated to the ejection port 3 via a purification device and a pressure pump.

In the meantime, the cleaning object is crushed by the rotating force of the swirling water flow and the impact force of the vortex and is subjected to a rough effect, and is discharged through the discharge port 4 and the conveying pipe 41 to the discharge system provided in the cleaning object removal tank 6. Is transported.

Further, if a nuclear discharge port 31 is provided at the core portion of the discharge port 3 and air is blown out from the nuclear discharge port 31 or the peripheral discharge port and jetted and circulated as a superimposed jet of water and air, it is more effective. A good detergency can be obtained.
