Description

  The present invention relates to a mozuku salt storage and draining tank, and more particularly, to a moscow that can be easily and quantitatively discharged after draining excess water of the mosk thrown into the tank evenly and quickly.

  With reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the structure of the manufacturing process of a conventional mozuku and a salt storage tank is demonstrated. First, in the case of salted mozuku, after “washing” S and “visually sorting” S1 of “mozuku raw algae” M, “mixing with salt” S2 of 20% of mozuku weight is processed for about one day. It is put into a salt storage tank 20 (about 5 to 30 tons) corresponding to the amount. Subsequently, after “salt storage” S3 for 4 to 6 days, the drain valve V1 of the bottom 20A of the salt storage tank is opened, and “draining” S4 is performed for 12 hours or more to remove excess moisture of Mozuku M. This mozuku M is discharged into a “container” 80, where it is weighed to 18 kg, for example, and filled into a can 90 to obtain a “salted mozuku” M1. In the case of a frozen mozuku, first, the “mozuku algae” M is “washed” S and “visually selected” S1, and then left in an amount of about 2 to 30 kg in a resin monkey, and “drained” S4 is performed to remove excess moisture from Mozuku M. This mozuku M is discharged into a “container” 80, where it is weighed, for example, to 16 kg, filled into a can 90, and then “frozen” S5 to obtain a “frozen mosk” M2.

Although it is the structure of the salt storage tank 20 of the said salt storage Mozuku M1, as shown in FIG. 9, the bottom part 20A of the salt storage tank 20 formed in the box shape made from concrete is made into the inclined surface 20B of one side inclination, and this inclined surface 20B A porous plate 23 for drainage is provided on the lower side, and a water receiving portion 25, a pipe 27 and a drain valve V <b> 1 are provided outside the bottom portion 20 </ b> A that is the outside of the porous plate 23. The bottom portion of the vertical wall 20C facing the lowest side of the bottom portion 20A is provided with a moscow discharge plate 29, which is opened and closed by an air cylinder CO. By the opening / closing operation of the above-mentioned moscow discharge plate 29, the imaged moscow is discharged into the container 80, further weighed to a predetermined amount, and filled into the can 90. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)
JP 2002-58456 A

  Since the salt storage tank 20 of the salted mozuku M1 is configured in a box shape made of concrete, during the salting period, high-concentration salt water will cause cracks in the concrete, thereby causing aging and leakage of water. Reduce the salinity. For this reason, the upper mozuku becomes dark brown due to drying and oxidation and loses its commercial value. Further, when draining for 12 hours or more, the upper part of the mosk is deficient in moisture, and the dried state further proceeds, and the lower part becomes moist with much water. If the moscow discharge plate 29 is opened in this state and the moscow is discharged, the moscow with a lot of moisture in the lower part will be discharged smoothly, but the moscow in the upper part will be deficient in moisture in the dry state and will lose fluidity and will be difficult to discharge. There was a problem of becoming. In order to prevent this, the moisture state of the moscow is slightly surplus, and the moscow is discharged and weighed, but even in this case, the moist weighing with excessive moisture and the moist weighing with insufficient moisture are mixed and uneven. There was a problem of being forced to measure a lot of mozuku. This problem has a greater effect on salt tanks that are vertically long and have a large capacity.

  Also, in the case of frozen mozuku, the washed mozuku is alive, so if you put a lot of mozuku in the tank for a long time, it will generate heat at the center and the commercial value will decrease, so you can use a salted tank However, the metering and filling is performed after draining with a resin colander, but this has a problem of poor workability.

  The present invention has been made on the basis of the above points, and the object of the present invention is to be able to easily and quantitatively discharge the moscow after draining the excess water of the mosk thrown into the tank evenly and quickly. The object is to provide a tank for salting and draining.

  In order to achieve the above object, a mozuku salt storage and draining tank according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a tank in which mozuku and salt are mixed or mozuku to which water adheres can be introduced, and almost the entire wall surface in the tank. A drainage chamber disposed inside the tank and formed in a perforated plate and communicated with the inside of the tank; a screw conveyor disposed in a tub formed at the bottom of the tank and capable of quantitatively transferring the moistened wastewater in the tank; And a moscow discharge gate which is disposed on the tip side of the screw conveyor and can be opened and closed by an opening and closing mechanism.

  Further, the mozuku salting and draining tank according to claim 2 is the mozuku salting and draining tank according to claim 1, wherein the pump is connected to the drainage chamber via a drain pipe, and the tip discharge port is connected to the pump on the upper surface of the tank. It is characterized by connecting a water discharge pipe arranged in the.

  According to the mozuku salt storage and draining tank of the present invention, first, the entire mozuku is drained from the perforated plate disposed on almost the entire wall surface in the tank to the drainage chamber, and excess water is drained uniformly. Then, the wastewater in the tank is sequentially transferred toward the opening / closing mechanism on the front end side of the screw conveyor by a screw conveyor arranged at the bottom of the tank and capable of quantitative transfer. Even if the moisture is extracted by removing excess water, it is taken out in a fixed amount from the gate discharging gate that is opened and closed by the opening and closing mechanism.

  Furthermore, according to the mozuku salting and draining tank, a pump is connected to the drainage pipe, and the tip discharge port is connected to the discharge pipe arranged on the upper surface of the tank. The water drops from the upper part of the tank to the surface of the mozuku, so that the mosk surface is prevented from being dried and oxidized, and the salt concentration of mozuku in the tank is made uniform.

  According to the present invention, since the drainage chamber having the perforated plate is formed on almost the entire surface of the tank, the excessive moisture of the mozuku can be discharged evenly and quickly by the drainage of the entire surface. And, since the tank bottom portion is provided with a basket, a screw conveyor and a moscow discharge gate with an opening / closing mechanism, it is possible to easily take out a quantitative amount even if the moisturized water is sufficiently removed and its fluidity is lowered.

  In addition, since a pump was connected to the drainage chamber and a water discharge pipe with a tip discharge port located on the upper surface of the tank was connected to the pump, the water in the drainage chamber was poured from the upper surface of the tank onto the mozuku surface during salting and dried. While preventing oxidation, the salt concentration of mozuku in the tank can be made uniform, and mozuku quality can be improved.

  Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a production system for producing mozuku, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of mozuku salting and draining tank, and FIG. 3 is a plan view. Further, FIG. 4 is a front sectional view of a mozuku salting and draining tank, FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the main part, FIG. 6 is a side view of the mozuku salting and draining tank, FIG. 7 is a working sectional view, and FIG. It is a flowchart figure of the process of manufacturing.

  First, the configuration of a production system for producing mozuku will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, mozuku raw algae M are fed from a quantitative supply stand 1 to a quantitative supply screw 2. The input mozuku raw algae M is washed by the draining visual conveyor 5 and the visual sorting conveyor 6 from the primary washing machine 3 through the secondary washing machine 4, and impurities are removed by the operator's hands. Subsequently, the mozuku raw algae M fed to the washing hopper 7 is fed to the mixer 9 by the mixer feed pump 8. Further, the salt measured by the mozuku salt metering device 10 is fed into the mixer 9 from the salt supply device 11. Usually, 20% of the salt weight is mixed. The salted mozuku M1 is taken out to the mixer hopper 12, and the processing amount for about one day (about 5 to 30 tons) is applied to the tank 31 (5 to 7 in parallel) of the present invention by the salted tank feed pump 14. It is thrown. The tank 31 functions as a salt storage tank, and after salting the mozuku for 4 to 6 days, the drain valve at the bottom of the tank 31 is opened for 6 hours (1/2 time of the conventional time). Drain the water to remove excess water from the salted mozuku M1. The salted mozuku M1 is quantitatively discharged (for example, a weight of 500 kg to 1 ton) into the visual sorting and weighing table 15, for example, 18 kg of the salted mozuku M1 is filled in the container, degassed by the degassing clip device 17, and then packed by the packing machine 18. M1 canned salted mozuku that can be packed and transported is obtained.

  In addition, when the frozen raw mozuku M2 is manufactured and the mozuku salt storage and draining tank 100 is used as a draining tank for raw mozuku, the mozuku raw algae M is not mixed with salt for about one day. The amount is charged into the tank 31. In this case, the tank 31 exhibits the function of a temporary storage tank, starts draining immediately after being charged, and drains excess moisture of the raw mozuku M by draining for about 6 hours. This raw mozuku M is quantitatively discharged (for example, a weight of 500 kg to 1 ton) into the visual sorting weighing table 15, for example, 16 kg of raw mozuku M is filled in a container, degassed by the degassing clip device 17, and frozen in a freezer. The frozen raw mozuku M2 is obtained.

  Next, the structure of the mozuku salt storage and draining tank 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, a rectangular salt storage tank 31 formed of a metal material such as stainless steel or a synthetic resin material is attached to an upper portion of a frame F framed by four columns 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D. The tank 31 has a tapered shape toward the screw conveyor 40 disposed at the lower position. The tank shape may be a hopper shape in which the entire vertical wall surface is inclined, only one side may be an inclined surface, or the entire shape may be a bowl shape.

  As shown in FIG. 7, drainage chambers 37 are provided on almost the entire side walls 31 </ b> A to 31 </ b> D and bottom inclined surfaces 31 </ b> E and 31 </ b> F in the tank 31, and the tanks 31 inside the drainage chambers 37 are provided. On the inner surface, porous plates 33A to 33D and 33E and 33F made of metal such as stainless steel or synthetic resin are provided. Each drainage chamber 37 is provided with a drainage port 35 communicating with the drainage pipes P1 to P4. For the perforated plates 33A to 33D and 33E, 33F, for example, punching metal is used. And this thing is attached with respect to the drain chamber 37 so that attachment or detachment is possible. This is to allow the perforated plates 33A to 33D and 33E, 33F itself and the inside of the drainage chamber 37 to be cleaned. The pore diameters of the porous plates 33A to 33D and 33E and 33F are set to a size (for example, a diameter of 6 to 8 mm) that does not allow the Mozuku alga M to pass through. The porous plates 33A to 33D and 33E, 33F can be installed in a smaller range than the entire surface as long as the function can be achieved without providing the entire surface on the inner surface of the tank 31, and are provided over a considerably wide range. It is good if it is.

  The drainage pipes P1 to P4 connected to the drainage ports 35 are connected to the drainage valve V1 and set up as a drainage pipe P6 at the upper part of the tank 31 via a circulation pump P connected to one pipe P5. The tip discharge port 39 is disposed on the upper surface of the tank 31, and water is sprayed by opening / closing the on-off valves V2 to V4. Thus, the water (salt water) W collected from the side and bottom surfaces of the tank 31 is circulated and sprinkled by the circulation pump P to the surface of the salted mozuku M1. This watering is performed regularly or continuously. In draining after salting, the drain valve V1 is opened to collect water (salt water) W from the side and bottom surfaces of the tank 31 and discharge it to the outside.

  A screw 40A of a screw conveyor 40 serving as a conveying means is disposed in a horizontal direction on the ridge 31H formed in the lowermost part 31G of the tank 31. 2 to 4, the screw conveyor 40 includes a sprocket 41 of a motor MO with a speed reducer and a sprocket on one side of a screw 40A provided on one side of a long rod 31H that penetrates the lowermost part 31G of the tank 31 to the left and right. 43 is connected by a chain C, and is rotated at a low speed by the rotational driving force of the motor MO with a speed reducer. The screw conveyor 40 makes it possible to quantitatively transfer the salted mozuku M1 or mozuku M in the salted tank 31 after drainage.

  The screw conveyor 40 disposed at the bottom of the salt storage tank 31 is provided with a moscow discharge gate 50 on the lower surface on the tip side of the basket 31H. The mosc discharge gate 50 includes an opening / closing mechanism 60 that can open and close the opening / closing plate 51. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the opening / closing mechanism 60 includes a sprocket 61 of a motor MG with a reduction gear 61 and a sprocket 67 of a drive pinion 65 of a forward / backward movement 63 connected by a chain C. By rotating and reversing, the open / close plate 51 moves forward and backward to the opening position of the moscow discharge gate 50 indicated by the solid line and the closing position indicated by the chain line. The opening / closing plate 51 is guided on rollers 70, 71 on the advancing / retracting rails 70, 71 on the lower surface of the opening / closing plate 51 so as to be able to smoothly move back and forth. The open / close plate 51 can be driven by a double acting cylinder.

  The operation will be described based on the above configuration. In the case of the mozuku salting and draining tank 100 for producing the salted mozuku M1, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the mozuku algae M are first washed S and visually selected S1. The salted mozuku M1 mixed with 20% of the mosk weight is charged into the tank 31 for a processing amount of about one day (about 5 to 30 tons). Then, “Shizo” S3 is performed for 4 to 6 days. During this “salthouse” S3, the drain valve V1 is closed, and water is sprayed from the front end discharge port 39 on the upper side of the tank 31 to the upper surface of the tank 31 via the circulation pump P connected to one pipe P5. Thus, the water (salt water) W collected from the side and bottom surfaces of the tank 31 is circulated and sprinkled by the circulation pump P to the surface of the salted mozuku M1. Thereby, water in the drainage chamber is poured from the upper part of the tank onto the mozuku surface during salting from the discharge port, and drying and oxidation of the mozuku surface are prevented. Further, the salted mozuku M1 during the salting period has the same moisture and salt concentration regardless of the upper and lower positions and the surface of the tank, and the quality thereof is kept uniform.

  Subsequently, after the salt storage period, the drainage valve V1 is opened and “draining” S4 is performed for 6 hours or more from the porous plates 33A to 33D and 33E, 33F provided on the respective wall surfaces of the tank 31 to remove water ( Salt water) W is drained and discharged from the drainage chamber to the outside through the drainage valve V1. As a result, the salted mozuku M1 in the tank 31 is drained from the perforated plate disposed almost on the tank side wall surface, so that excess water is evenly discharged from the entire mosk regardless of the position of the top or bottom of the tank 31. And drained quickly.

  After the drainage, the screw conveyor 40, which is disposed in the horizontal direction at the bottom of the tank 31 and capable of quantitative transfer, is driven, and the salted mozuku M1 after draining in the tank 31 is directed to the mosc discharge gate 50 on the tip side of the screw conveyor 40. To be transferred sequentially. The salted mozuku M1 that has reached the mozuku discharge gate 50 is discharged to the visual sorting and weighing table 15 by a predetermined amount by opening the opening / closing plate 51 by the opening / closing mechanism 60. At this time, since the shape of the tank 31 is a hopper shape (cone shape), even if the flowability of the salt mozuku M1 is lowered, it smoothly flows into the screw conveyor 40 and enters the mosc discharge gate 50 on the tip side. It will be transported sequentially. Thereby, the salted mozuku M1 is accurately discharged into the container 80 and filled into the can 90 (for example, 18 kg). Thus, the net amount of the salted mozuku filled in the can 90 becomes uniform, and the product uniformity can be improved.

  When the frozen mozuku M2 is used as the mozuku salting and draining tank 100, mozuku algae M having a large amount of adhering moisture is put into the treatment tank 31 for about one day by washing. At this time, the drain valve V1 is opened, and draining is performed for 6 hours or more to remove excess moisture of Mozuku M. In the same manner as described above, the raw mozuku M is quantitatively discharged into the container 80, filled into the can 90 (for example, 16 kg), and then frozen to obtain the frozen raw mosk M2. As a specific embodiment, about three tanks 31 are used, and the washed mosk is sequentially put into the tank a at 8-9 o'clock, the tank b at 9-10 o'clock, and the tank c at 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock. The mokes put into the tank a are immediately drained, and are discharged to the visual sorting and weighing table 15 by 10-11 o'clock when the mokes are put into the tank c. Subsequently, the mokes in the tank b are discharged at 11-12 o'clock, and the mokes in the tank c are discharged at 12-13 o'clock. Since other operations are the same as the production of the salted mozuku M1, the description is omitted.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, since the drainage chamber 37 having the perforated plate 33 is formed on almost the entire surface of the tank 31, excess water in the moose can be drained evenly by drainage from almost the entire surface of the tank 31. Therefore, it is possible to highly remove moisture from the entire mozuku in the tank 31. And since the basket 31 and the screw conveyor 40 and the moscow discharge gate 50 with the opening / closing mechanism 60 are provided at the bottom of the tank 31, even if the excess water is sufficiently removed and the fluidity is lowered, the quantity can be easily taken out.

  Further, since the pump P is connected to the drainage chamber 37, and the water discharge pipe 39 having the tip discharge port arranged on the upper surface of the tank is connected to the pump P, the water in the drainage chamber 37 and the salt water W are supplied to the upper surface of the tank during salting. By pouring onto the surface of the mozuku, the drying and oxidation can be prevented and the salt concentration of mozuku in the tank can be made uniform. Thereby, the quality of a mozuku can be improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the first embodiment. For example, automatic weighing and filling can also be performed by providing a weighing device in the lower part of a container that receives a moose discharged from a screw conveyor and linking it with a motor with a speed reducer of the screw conveyor. Moreover, although the perforated plate 33 uses punching metal, it is also possible to use a mesh or a wire net. In addition, the opening / closing mechanism 60 provided on the front end side of the screw conveyor may be an opening / closing mechanism that is rotationally driven from one that moves the opening / closing plate 51 forward and backward. Similar actions and effects can be obtained by changing the above embodiment.

  Although the present invention has been described in the embodiment as a mozuku salting and draining tank, the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to a fluid salting and draining tank containing moisture.
