[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the preparation of seaweed treated water for adjusting various conditions of seaweed treated water used as storage water and / or washing water in a storage tank for storing and / or washing carried-in seaweed original algae. Related to the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a storage device for seaweed original algae related to a salt concentration adjusting device as one of the seawater treatment water adjusting devices of this kind, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58158/1986. Is shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of a conventional storage device for laver progenitor algae.

[0003] In the figure, the conventional storage apparatus for seaweed original algae is provided with a storage tank 20 for storing seaweed, which is similar to the storage of seafood.
It is provided near the seashore where the seaweed cultivation facility is located or near the seaweed processing workplace, discharges the seaweed algae collected in the seaweed tank 20, and always supplies the natural seawater in the seaweed fishing area to the seaweed tank 20. By draining the water from 20 and as if it were in the same state as before harvesting by collecting the leaves of laver and the seaweed fishing grounds, it is possible to maintain and maintain the freshness of the collected laver for a long time. Be composed.

[0004] Next, the storage operation of a conventional storage device for laver progenitor algae based on the above configuration will be described. First, the seawater feed pump P20 is driven to supply the seawater W in the laver fishing ground A with the seawater suction strainer 70 or the suction port 71 and the seawater suction pipe 7.
2 and squirt into the fish tank 20 via the seawater feed pipe 73 and the riser pipe 74. Next, when the seaweed original algae collected in a container or the like from the seaweed fishing ground are put into the fish tank 20, the leaf of the seaweed original algae discharged into the fish tank 20 by the seawater spouting in an arbitrary direction from the discharge port 74 a of the riser pipe 74. With the spouted seawater as much as possible, stirring the seawater W as if forming a natural tide of the seawater W in the laver fishing ground area A, and at the same time, overflowing the seawater W in the fish tank 20 through the drain strainer 21, The water is discharged from the drainage channel 22. As a result, the collected nori original algae can be used
In the same way as in the state described in the above, the maintenance of the freshness is addressed.

[0005] A conventional salt concentration adjusting device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-42910, which is shown in FIG. FIG. 5 shows a schematic configuration diagram of a conventional salt concentration adjusting device. In the figure, a conventional salt concentration adjusting device includes a storage tank 2 for temporarily storing laver progenitor algae together with storage water,
A salt concentration sensor 4 for detecting the salt concentration of stored water in the storage tank 2 and a salt water tank 62 for detecting seawater serving as the stored water.

Nori original algae are put into the storage tank 2, storage water is added and mixed, and once stored in the storage tank 2 while stirring. The mixture of seaweed progenitor algae and storage water in the storage tank 2 needs to be maintained at a certain range of salt concentration in order to maintain the activity of the seaweed progenitor algae. The stored water in this case is salt water or a mixture of salt water and fresh water, and the salt concentration of the mixture is detected by the salt concentration sensor 4 and input to the salt concentration control unit 5.

The salt concentration controller 5 displays the salt concentration and sets an appropriate concentration range in advance. When the detected concentration is higher than the appropriate concentration range, the fresh water supply pump P1 is operated. Fresh water is supplied from the fresh water tank 61 to the storage tank 2. On the other hand, when the detected concentration is lower than the appropriate range, the salt water supply pump P2 is operated to supply the salt water from the salt water tank 62 to the storage tank 2. When the concentration of the mixture falls within an appropriate range, each pump P1 or P2 is stopped, and this is repeated thereafter. As a result, the mixture concentration in the storage tank 2 is always maintained in an appropriate concentration range.

[0008] The nori original algae in the storage tank 2 are minced by a mincing machine 8 and washed by a washing machine 9 to remove salt and contaminants. , Ie, a raw material for laver making. The laver material is adjusted to an appropriate laver concentration in the concentration adjusting tank 11 and supplied to the laver machine 12 to produce laver.

For the laver concentration adjustment, a laver concentration sensor 13 is provided in the concentration adjusting tank 11 to detect the laver concentration and input the same to the laver concentration adjusting device 14. In the laver concentration adjusting device 14,
The water supply pump P3 and the drainage pump P4 are appropriately driven and adjusted so that the seaweed concentration falls within a predetermined appropriate concentration range.
