Description

The present invention relates to a nori seaweed stretching tool used for stretching a seaweed tray on a nori frame when producing dried seaweed from a seaweed dough with a seaweed producing machine.

Conventionally, dried seaweed is produced by making seaweed dough on a seaweed tray with a making device provided in a seaweed making machine, and then drying the seaweed dough with a drying device provided in a seaweed making machine. In the Nori making machine, multiple Nori seaweeds are placed side by side on one Nori frame, and each Nori frame is sequentially transported to a making machine or a drying device in large quantities. I try to continuously produce dried seaweed.

Then, each Nori seaweed is stretched on the Nori frame using a Nori seaweed pulling tool while maintaining an appropriate tensile force. As a conventional nori seaweed pulling tool, a locking body that engages with the seaweed sill and an urging body having a spring that urges the seaweed sill toward the frame side are formed separately. The configuration was such that an urging body was attached to the locking body (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-10728

However, in the above-mentioned conventional Nori seaweed pulling tool, the locking body that engages with the Nori seaweed and the urging body that pulls the Nori seaweed toward the frame side are formed separately, so that they are attached to the locking body. It is necessary to attach and manufacture the nori body, which increases the manufacturing cost of the nori seaweed pulling tool and may damage the attachment portion between the locking body and the urging body due to long-term use.

Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, in the seaweed spring tensioning tool used for stretching the seaweed spring to the seaweed frame, the locking portion for locking to the seaweed spring and the seaweed spring are pulled toward the seaweed frame side. The urging part that is held by the sill frame while urging in the direction of The spring piece was narrowed in the direction away from the nori seaweed (the tip of the spring piece), and the tip was bent toward the frame .

Then, in the present invention, the effects described below are obtained.

That is, in the present invention, in the seaweed shaving tool used for stretching the seaweed sill on the sill frame, the locking portion that locks on the seaweed sill and the urging in the direction of pulling the seaweed sill toward the sill frame side. At the same time, since the urging part held in the frame is integrally formed, the manufacturing cost of the Nori seaweed tensioning tool can be reduced and the life of the Nori seaweed tensioning tool can be extended. be able to.

In particular, when it is decided to urge the seaweed in the direction of pulling the seaweed frame side with a pair of spring pieces sandwiching the frame, the seaweed frame can be pulled to the side of the frame in a good and stable manner. ..

Further, when the width of the spring piece is narrowed in the direction away from the seaweed sill, the tensile force for pulling the seaweed sill toward the sill frame side can be appropriately adjusted.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the Nori seaweed tensioning tool according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The seaweed shaving tool according to the present invention is used to stretch a seaweed sill on a sill frame when producing dried seaweed from a seaweed dough with a seaweed making machine.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the seaweed making machine 1, the making machine 2 and the dryer 3 are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction. The manufacturing machine 2 and the dryer 3 are provided with intermittent transport devices 6, 7, and 8 for intermittently transporting a cage frame 5 in which a plurality of seaweed cages 4 are arranged side by side in the left-right width direction and stretched detachably. Has been done.

The seaweed basin 4 is transported together with the frame 5 by the intermittent transfer device 6 of the manufacturing machine 2 from the upper front end to the upper rear end of the manufacturing machine 2, and then intermittently transferred from the intermittent transfer device 6 of the manufacturing machine 2 to the upper side of the dryer 3. It is delivered to the transport device 7. After that, the seaweed basin 4 is transported together with the basin frame 5 from the upper front end to the upper rear end of the dryer 3 by the intermittent transfer device 7 on the upper side of the dryer 3, and then folded downward at the upper rear end of the dryer 3. , It is conveyed from the rear end of the middle part of the dryer 3 to the front end of the middle part, and is delivered from the intermittent transfer device 7 on the upper side of the dryer 3 to the intermittent transfer device 8 on the lower side at the front end of the middle part of the dryer 3. After that, the seaweed basin 4 is transported together with the basin frame 5 from the middle part front end to the middle part rear end of the dryer 3 by the intermittent transfer device 8 on the lower side of the dryer 3, and then at the middle part rear end of the dryer 3. It is folded downward and transported from the lower rear end to the lower front end of the dryer 3, and is transferred from the lower intermittent transfer device 8 of the dryer 3 to the intermittent transfer device 6 of the manufacturing machine 2 again at the lower front end of the dryer 3. Is done. After that, the seaweed basin 4 is transported from the lower rear end to the lower front end of the manufacturing machine 2 by the intermittent transfer device 6 of the manufacturing machine 2 together with the sill frame 5, and then folded upward at the lower front end of the manufacturing machine 2. As a result, the seaweed making machine 1 is formed with a transport path for continuously transporting the seaweed sill 4 together with the sill frame 5.

In the transport path, a making device 9 provided in the manufacturing machine 2, a dehydrating device 10, a drying device 11 provided in the dryer 3, and a peeling device 12 provided in the manufacturing machine 2 are arranged in this order.

The seaweed making machine 1 controls the intermittent transfer devices 6, 7, 8 and the abstracting device 9, the dehydrating device 10, the drying device 11, and the peeling device 12 to operate in conjunction with each other. That is, the nori making machine 1 conveys a plurality of nori seaweeds 4 together with the nori frame 5 along the transportation route, and the nori making device 9 puts a seaweed dough composed of fresh seaweed and water on the upper surface of each seaweed tray 4. After making the nori into a predetermined shape (for example, a square), the nori dough is dehydrated by the dehydrating device 10, and then the nori dough is forcibly dried with hot air by the drying device 11 to obtain dried nori, and then the peeling device 12 The dried nori seaweed is peeled off from each nori seaweed 4 and then the operation of transporting the nori seaweed 4 together with the nori frame 5 to the papermaking device 9 is continuously repeated. As a result, the seaweed producing machine 1 continuously produces dried seaweed from the seaweed dough, and simultaneously produces a plurality of dried seaweeds.

In this seaweed making machine 1, it is necessary to stretch the nori seaweed 4 on the seaweed frame 5 with an appropriate tensile force in order to produce dried seaweed after making the seaweed dough on the seaweed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the Nori seaweed 4 is attached to the Nori frame 5 via the Nori seaweed tensioning tool 13 and the Nori seaweed locking tool 14.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the seaweed sill tensioning tool 13 has a locking portion 15 for locking to the seaweed sill 4, an insertion portion 16 for inserting the slag frame 5, and a seaweed sill 4 on the sill frame 5 side. The urging portion 17 held by the sill frame 5 while being urged in the direction of pulling is integrally formed from a single thin plate-shaped elastic material (metal plate).

The locking portion 15 is formed by folding the front end portion of the seaweed sill tensioning tool 13 into an acute angle shape to form a substantially V-shape in the side view, and is inserted into the end portion of the seaweed sill 4 so that the seaweed sill 4 can be locked. It has become.

The insertion portion 16 folds the rear end portions of the left and right side portions of the seaweed spring tensioning tool 13 in an arc shape, and also folds the folded tip portion in an arc shape so that the side surface is wider in the vertical direction and left and right than the diameter of the basin frame 5. The tip part can be lifted by using the elasticity (spring force) of the rear end part formed in a substantially horizontal annular shape and formed in a substantially U-shape in the side view, so that the sill frame 5 can be inserted inside. It has become. Since the insertion portion 16 is formed in a substantially horizontally elongated annular shape in the side view, the sill frame 5 can be moved between the front end portion and the rear end portion.

The urging portion 17 forms a pair of vertically symmetrical spring pieces 18, 19 extending rearward at the upper part and the lower part of the tip portion of the insertion portion 16, and the elasticity of these pair of spring pieces 18,19. The seaweed sill 4 is held by the sill frame 5 while being urged in the direction of pulling the seaweed sill 4 toward the sill frame 5 by using (spring force).

Each of the spring pieces 18 and 19 extends in the direction away from the seaweed sill 4 in the used state, and is on the side of the sill frame 5 (inside: the upper spring piece 18 is on the lower side and the lower spring piece 19 is on the upper side). It is bent so that the holding force of the pair of spring pieces 18 and 19 becomes stronger along the direction away from the seaweed basin 4 (the direction closer to the basin frame 5). The widths of the spring pieces 18 and 19 may be the same, but here, the width is made narrower in the direction away from the seaweed basin 4. The change in width may be continuous or gradual. Further, the lengths of the spring pieces 18 and 19 are such that the tip extends to the tip portion of the urging portion 17 (insertion portion 16), and the sill frame 5 is the length of the urging portion 17 (insertion portion 16). Even if it moves to the tip, the inner surface of each of the spring pieces 18 and 19 abuts on the outer peripheral surface of the frame 5. The spring pieces 18 and 19 are not limited in shape and material as long as the seaweed sill 4 can be pulled toward the sill frame 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the seaweed tray 4 is locked by the locking portion 15 in a state where the seaweed frame 5 is inserted through the insertion portion 16, the seaweed tray tensioning tool 13 has a spring piece 18 of the urging portion 17. The inner surface of each of the 19 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the frame 5, and the elasticity (spring force) of the pair of spring pieces 18 and 19 pulls the seaweed 4 against the frame 5 (in the direction of FIG. 4 (b)). Tension acts in the direction indicated by the arrow), and the seaweed spring 4 can be stretched on the spring frame 5.

As the seaweed basin locking tool 14, it is possible to use a seaweed basin locking tool 14 having only the locking portion 15 and the insertion portion 16 without the urging portion 17 of the seaweed basin tensioning tool 13.

As described above, the nori seaweed tensioning tool 13 is attached to the seaweed frame 5 while encouraging the locking portion 15 to be engaged with the seaweed seaweed 4 and the seaweed seaweed 4 in the direction of pulling the seaweed frame 5 side. The urging portion 17 to be held is integrally formed.

Therefore, the structure of the Nori seaweed tensioning tool 13 having the above configuration can be simplified, the manufacturing cost of the Nori seaweed tensioning tool 13 can be reduced, and the structure of the Nori seaweed tensioning tool 13 is not easily damaged. The life of the tool 13 can be extended.

Further, the seaweed sill tensioning tool 13 is configured to urge the seaweed sardine 4 in a direction of pulling the seaweed sill 4 toward the sill frame 5 by a pair of spring pieces 18 and 19 sandwiching the sill frame 5.

Therefore, in the Nori seaweed tensioning tool 13 having the above configuration, the Nori frame 5 is sandwiched between the pair of spring pieces 18 and 19 (the state in which the force is evenly applied to the Nori frame 5 by the pair of spring pieces 18 and 19). ), The seaweed spring 4 is pulled to the side of the frame 5, and the seaweed 4 can be pulled to the side of the frame 5 in a good and stable manner.

Further, the seaweed basin tensioning tool 13 is configured so that the widths of the spring pieces 18 and 19 become narrower in the direction away from the seaweed basin 4.

Therefore, in the Nori seaweed tensioning tool 13 having the above configuration, the tensile force for pulling the Nori seaweed 4 toward the frame 5 can be appropriately adjusted (changed) according to the widths of the spring pieces 18 and 19.
