Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a foreign matter separating / sorting / washing machine with a high-pressure ejector injection device, and more particularly to a foreign matter separating / sorting / washing machine capable of separating and removing dirt and foreign matter adhering to food and sorting the size of food. About.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, when food is provided to consumers as a product, it is widely practiced to wash the food in advance. Food cleaning is an important pre-process for food manufacturing and conditioning after cleaning.

[0003] In view of the conventional method of cleaning food, conventionally, water is stored in a water tank of a sink, and food is put into the water tank, and the food put into the water tank is manually handled one by one. Had been washed.

[0004] By the way, the types of foods to be washed are various, and can be roughly classified into agricultural products (eg, vegetables, fruits, or grains), marine products / marine products (eg, fish, shrimp, shellfish, kelp), and livestock products ( For example, chicken, pork, and by-products) are available, and their sizes vary. In addition, the agricultural, marine and marine products and livestock products mentioned above have many imported products, so it is important to wash them well.

[0005] Therefore, it has been extremely difficult to clean all of these foods by hand in the same manner, and to surely separate and remove dirt and foreign matter adhering to the foods from the foods in a short time. .

Accordingly, the inventor of the present application has developed a foreign matter separation / removal device with a high-pressure ejector injection device capable of separating and removing dirt, foreign matter and the like adhering to food reliably and in a short time. We first invented a washing machine and applied for it.

The foreign matter separation / removal / washing machine with a high-pressure ejector injection device is configured to put food into a water tank of a sink in which water is stored, and to separate / remove foreign matter attached to the food in the water tank. The washing machine for separating and removing the foreign matter is attached to the lower part of the side wall of the water tank, and the high-pressure water generated by the high-pressure pump, the air taken in from the outside, and the inside of the water tank A high-pressure ejector that injects the mixed water of the circulating water into the water tank, and circulating water that is a mixture of the mixed water injected from the high-pressure ejector and the water in the water tank is applied to the floor surface. Along the tank from the bottom to the top.

[0008] The circulating water that has reached near the water surface flows near the water surface toward the side wall on which the high-pressure ejector injection device is attached, and then does not enter the lower part of the water tank along the side wall, and returns to the tapered floor again. Rise along. That is, the mixed water injected by the high-pressure ejector injection device rotates and circulates in the water tank, and the food is rotated and circulated on the mixed water.

According to the foreign matter separation / removal / washing machine with the high-pressure ejector injection device, the food can be cleaned thoroughly by removing dust, foreign matter, etc. attached to the food. However, in the case of the above-described foreign matter separation / removal / washing machine equipped with a high-pressure ejector injection device, there is a problem that the washing efficiency is poor because the process of washing the food cleanly is of a batch type.

[0010]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, it is conceivable that the food can be continuously washed. However, if the water in the washing tank overflows to wash the food continuously, dirt and foreign matter separated and removed from the food will be discharged together with the food. It was necessary to devise a method for separating and recovering.

[0011] As a conventional technique for separating the above-mentioned washed food from trash / foreign matter, for example, JP-A-64-624, JP-A-1-151624, JP-A-63-115482, JP-A-63-148482, There is a technique described in, for example, JP-A-64-36083. The technologies described in the above publications are various, but in any case, since the object is not food, it cannot be used as a device for separating and collecting food from dust and foreign matter. was there.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention makes it possible to reliably and quickly remove foreign matter, dirt, chemicals, and the like adhering to food from the food, and to sort the size of the food. In this way, the goal is to provide safer food.

[0013]
