Abstract

PURPOSE:To transport stripped laver sheets one by one to a dryer by successively setting plural sheet making parts, dehydrating parts and stripping parts along a chain to convey a drainboard and intermittently transferring a drying chamber chain at times equal to the number of plural sheet-making mechanisms. CONSTITUTION:Plural sheet-making parts 2, press dehydrating parts 4 and stripping parts 8 are set, respectively along a drainboard transporting chain 1 and a chain 7 for drying chamber is equipped in the vicinity of the end of the chain 1. Then the sheet-making parts 2, the press dehydrating parts 4 and the stripping parts 8 are simultaneously and synchronically operated and while the operations, the transporting chain 1 and the chain 7 for drying chamber are transferred. The transfer is intermittently carried out at times equal to the number of the plural sheet-making parts. Consequently, laver sheets stripped at the stripping parts 8 are transferred one by one to the drying chamber.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a seaweed manufacturing device.

Conventional technology Traditionally, seaweed production equipment has a conveyor chain that circulates in the order of a slicing section, a dewatering section, a drying section, and a stripping section. There was an automatic seaweed production device that automatically produced seaweed.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, since the quality of harvested raw seaweed deteriorates in a short period of time, it has been desired to improve the production speed, but there is an upper limit to the production speed with conventional equipment. It was not possible to increase the manufacturing speed.

The reason for this is that among the above steps, the papermaking process in particular relies on the flow of the papermaking water in which the nori dough is suspended before papermaking, so it is difficult to shorten the time required for this process. Moreover, the quality of the papermaking process has a decisive influence on the quality of the product nori.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention, the paper cutting section, the press dewatering section, and the stripping section, which operate in synchronization with the conveyance chain that intermittently conveys the screen, are arranged along the conveyance direction of the chain. A drying chamber chain is disposed at the end of the chain, and the papermaking section is composed of a plurality of papermaking mechanisms arranged in front and back along the traveling direction of the conveyor chain, The paper-making operations of each section are configured to operate intermittently in synchronization, and during the paper-making stop after one paper-making operation in the paper-making section, the conveyor chain is operated intermittently, and the conveyor chain is operated intermittently. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seaweed manufacturing apparatus configured to carry out intermittent conveyance operations as many times as the number of drying chamber chains or paper-making mechanisms as the conveyance operation takes place.

(E) Effect In this invention, each of the above steps is performed simultaneously on the same number of seaweed cages as the number of arranged seaweed cages, using a plurality of papermaking mechanisms arranged in series in the conveying direction as described above, Next, the conveyor chain is made to carry out intermittent conveyance operation to transfer the basket holder from the conveyance chain to the drying room chain, and the drying room chain is made to carry out intermittent conveyance operation the same number of times as the number of paper-making mechanisms. Because of this structure, the transfer of the cage can be done dynamically and in a short time while the conveyor chain is moving, and the drying time can be ensured by extending the drying chamber or configuring the upper and lower two-stage conveyance path. Therefore, in the present invention, in one papermaking process, the papermaking process is performed simultaneously on a plurality of sheets, and the conveyor chain performs the intermittent transport operation during the subsequent papermaking stop time, and the drying process is carried out simultaneously. By intermittently operating the chain the same number of times as the mechanism in the papermaking process,
Conventionally, the papermaking process and intermittent conveyance operation were performed alternately, but the papermaking process time can be omitted by the number of times minus 1 from the number of sheets above, and the papermaking, dewatering, and peeling, which affect the quality of the product nori, can be omitted. This makes it possible to improve the overall seaweed production speed while ensuring sufficient time for each process.

Effects According to the present invention, since a plurality of paper-making mechanisms are provided, a plurality of sheets of seaweed can be made with a -degree paper-making operation.
This method saves time for multiple sheets of seaweed compared to conventional methods, and the drying chamber chain that transports and dries the sheets of seaweed simultaneously into the drying chamber has to be operated the same number of times as the number of nori sheeting mechanisms. Furthermore, the conveyor chain performs intermittent conveying operation while the paper-making mechanism stops making paper, and it is possible to carry multiple pieces of seaweed into the drying room one by one into the drying chamber, so that the production speed is improved. Is there an effect that can increase the speed?
