[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a laver production apparatus, and particularly relates to cleaning of a dehydrated sponge of a dehydrator.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As is well known in the past, in the laver production device, the laver is made on the laver with the laver masher, and the dehydrated rice cake is transported to the dehydrator and moved up and down to the dehydrator. It is dehydrated by sandwiching it from above and below with a sponge and then sent to a dryer.
During the dehydration operation of the dehydrator, the raw nori drawn on the top of the laver is sandwiched from above and below by press dehydration. In addition to entering the inside of the sponge and causing clogging, the sponge's dewatering ability is reduced, and it can also cause germs and the like. Therefore, conventionally, when the dehydrated sponge is soiled, the dehydrated sponge is washed appropriately or periodically.
[0003]
Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose that a dehydrated sponge is removed from a dehydrator of a laver production apparatus and washed. In Patent Document 1, the dehydrated sponge is centrifugally washed and dehydrated. In Patent Document 2, the dehydrated sponge is lifted and lowered while water is supplied from above the porous member disposed above the dehydrated sponge, and the dehydrated sponge is repeatedly pressed against the porous member to squeeze out dirt inside the sponge.
[0004]
Patent Documents 3 to 5 disclose what is washed with a dehydrated sponge attached to a dehydrator of a laver production apparatus. In Patent Document 3, a cleaning liquid supply unit is provided on the lower surface of the upper dehydrated sponge and the upper surface of the lower dehydrated sponge that are mounted on the dehydrator of the laver production apparatus, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed on the surfaces of the upper and lower dehydrated sponges. In this way, the dehydrated sponge is moved up and down and the upper and lower dehydrated sponges are pressed against each other and washed while the cleaning liquid is contained in the sponge. In Patent Document 4, the cleaning roller moves between the upper and lower dewatering sponges while supplying cleaning water to clean the dewatering sponges. In Patent Document 5, when desired, a frame is attached around the lower dewatering sponge of the dewatering device to form a water reservoir, and the water reservoir is filled with cleaning water and the upper and lower dewatering sponges are moved up and down to remove the sponge from the water reservoir. After washing in the liquid, the frame is removed and drained after washing.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As in Patent Documents 1 and 2, in the case where the dehydrated sponge is removed from the dewatering device of the laver production apparatus and washed, there is a trouble of removing from the dewatering device and a time of attaching to the dewatering device after washing. On the other hand, in Patent Documents 3 to 5, since the dehydrated sponge is not removed from the dewatering device of the laver cleaning device, there is no need to attach and remove. However, in the thing of patent document 3, the water supply means is provided with respect to the upper and lower dehydration sponges, respectively, and many water supply means are required. Also, since the cleaning liquid is sprayed upward on the lower surface of the upper dehydrated sponge, the upper dehydrated sponge cannot be filled with water as expected, which is effective for squeezing dirt inside the sponge. There is a risk of not. The thing of patent document 4 has the fault that installations, such as a drive device for a washing | cleaning roller to drive between upper and lower dehydration sponges, are complicated and expensive. In the thing of patent document 5, installation of a frame and removal work are required, and work, such as attaching such a frame around the lower dehydration sponge arranged inside the frame of a laver production apparatus, is extremely Difficult and impractical.

[0021]
As is well known, dry laver is produced by this dry laver production apparatus. At the time of laver production, the upper and lower dewatering sponge tools 28 and 29 are moved up and down in synchronization with the intermittent movement of the laver cocoon 21 so that the raw laver is sandwiched from above and below for press dehydration. Since fine raw laver debris adheres to the side dewatering sponges 62 and 63 and causes a decrease in dewatering ability and generation of germs, washing is performed appropriately or periodically. When the upper and lower dewatering sponges 62 and 63 are washed, the laver making apparatus 1 is operated in a state where the laver making operation of the laver making apparatus 4 is stopped, and the washing water is supplied from the water supply means 64 to the upper dehydrating sponge 62 from above. To do. In this case, the upper and lower dewatering sponges 62 and 63 are compressed in a state where the laver cocoon 21 is sandwiched during the stoppage in synchronization with the transfer of the cocoon frame 9. Alternatively, only the dehydrating device 5 may be allowed to move independently, and the cleaning water may be supplied in a state in which the laver jar 21 corresponding to the dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 is removed. The supplied wash water soaks into the entire upper dehydrated sponge 62 from a plurality of locations as indicated by broken line arrows in FIG. 5, and the drained water oozed out from the upper dehydrated sponge 62 falls and permeates the lower dehydrated sponge 63. .
[0022]
The first and second dewatering means 30 and 31 are driven in the same manner as when the raw laver is dehydrated, and the upper and lower dewatering sponge tools 28 and 29 are raised and lowered toward each other, and the upper and lower dewatering sponges 62 and 63 are pressed against each other ( FIG. 6). From the pressed upper and lower dewatering sponges 62 and 63, dirt in the dewatering sponges 62 and 63 is squeezed out together with drainage as dirty water. The squeezed sewage is sucked by the suction device 70 from the lower dewatering sponge 63, and the sewage exceeding the suction amount flows out from the side surfaces of the sponges 62 and 63. At the same time as the sewage is squeezed out, the suction force of the suction device 70 acts on the upper dewatering sponge 62 through the lower dewatering sponge 63 when the upper and lower dewatering sponges 62 and 63 are pressed against each other. Also, the sewage is sucked and the moisture content of the dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 is lowered.
[0023]
Next, the upper and lower dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 whose moisture content has decreased due to the restoration from the compressed state and the suction action of the suction device are separated while sucking the washing water (FIG. 7). Drainage from the upper dewatering sponge 62 falls and is absorbed by the lower dewatering sponge 63. The upper and lower dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 are washed by pressing and separating again, and the raw laver adhering to the dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 can be sufficiently washed and removed. After washing, water supply is stopped, the upper and lower dehydration sponges 62 and 63 are pressed against each other and dehydrated, and then normal raw laver is dehydrated. As described above, the laver-making apparatus 1 can be cleaned with the dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 attached thereto, which is efficient. In addition, since water is supplied from the upper side of the upper dehydrated sponge 62, the upper dehydrated sponge 62 absorbs water. Since the drainage is absorbed by the lower dewatering sponge 63 and the drainage operation is performed, and the upper and lower dewatering sponges 62 and 63 are mechanically pressed together to squeeze out dirt. Can be washed. Further, since the water is supplied from the upper side of the upper dewatering sponge 62, the configuration is simple. Further, when the upper and lower dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 are pressed against each other by the suction device 70, the cleaning water is sucked from the upper dehydrated sponge 62 to the lower dehydrated sponge 63, and the internal dirt of the upper and lower dehydrated sponges 62 and 63 is absorbed. Can be discharged downward.
[0024]
Next, another embodiment will be described. The same parts as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same symbols, and the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment in which a side wall 77 surrounding the horizontal direction and the conveying direction is erected on the upper surface of the sponge mounting plate 59, and the upper surface of the side wall 77 is attached to the mounting substrate 57 via a seal member 78. A water supply chamber 79 is formed between the sponge mounting plate 59 and the mounting substrate 57 in close contact with the lower surface. The cleaning water supplied from the water supply holes 58 spreads in the water supply chamber 79 and penetrates the entire upper dewatering sponge 62 from the plurality of water passage holes 60 substantially uniformly. FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment in which a water supply chamber 79 is formed in the sponge mounting plate 59, a water supply hole 58 is formed in the side wall 77, and a plurality of water flow holes 60 are formed in the lower wall 80. It is formed. FIG. 10 shows a fourth embodiment, in which a water supply chamber 79 is formed inside the mounting substrate 57, a plurality of water passage holes 82 are provided in the lower wall 81 of the mounting substrate 57, and water is supplied into the water supply chamber 79. The washed water is allowed to permeate from the water hole 82 into the upper dehydrated sponge 62 through the water hole 60 of the sponge mounting plate 59.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the present invention, since the water supply means capable of supplying water from the upper side of the upper dewatering sponge is provided in the dewatering device of the laver production apparatus, the laver is left in the state where the upper and lower dewatering sponges are attached to the dewatering device during cleaning. By supplying water from the upper side of the upper dewatering sponge while the paper making apparatus is in operation, the upper dewatering sponge can sufficiently contain washing water, and the upper dewatering sponge absorbs and discharges water, and the lower dewatering sponge. The waste water is absorbed and discharged, and the upper and lower dewatering sponges are mechanically pressed together to squeeze out the dirt, so that it can be washed efficiently, and water is supplied only from the upper side of the upper dewatering sponge, and the configuration is simple.
In addition, since the suction device is provided below the lower dewatering sponge, when the upper and lower dewatering sponges are pressed against each other, the washing water is sucked out from the upper dewatering sponge to the lower dewatering sponge, and the internal dirt of the upper and lower dewatering sponges. Can be discharged downward.
