Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a raw seaweed ripening machine installed in a seaweed production line to improve the quality of seaweed.

(Prior art) Conventionally, a dehydration inner tank is loosely fitted into an outer tank at a predetermined interval, a rotating shaft is inserted into the inner tank, a stirring blade is attached to the rotating shaft, and a dehydrating inner tank is inserted above the inner tank. A ripening machine equipped with a sprinkler pipe was known (Utility Model Publication No. 59-34309).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Although the conventional ripening machine can sufficiently achieve the purpose of ripening, by rotating the stirring blade,
There was a problem in that the raw seaweed was easily pressed against the inner tank wall, the water drained well, it became hard, and it was easy to accumulate, and the raw seaweed near the inner tank wall was difficult to descend. Additionally, since water is sprayed from the top, there is a problem in that the water may not spread evenly to the inside. Therefore, it was necessary to take measures such as water level adjustment.

(Means for Solving the Problems) However, the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems by rotating the spiral blade and tilting the stirring blade. In addition, since the water sprinkler pipes are provided above and below, water can be supplied to each layer of raw seaweed, making it possible to replenish water evenly throughout.

That is, in this invention, an inner tank for dehydration is installed in an outer tank, a rotating shaft is installed vertically in the center of the inner tank, and a water supply pipe, a stirring blade, and raw seaweed near the wall of the inner tank are attached to the rotating shaft. This is a raw seaweed ripening machine that is equipped with a spiral blade that provides downward force to the seaweed. The spiral blade can be provided over the entire upper and lower regions of the inner tank, and can be made of a round bar, a pipe, or a plate.

Further, the stirring blades are provided radially toward the rotating shaft with a low and gentle slope at the tip, and are given a lead angle. Next, in the inner tank, a dehydration cylinder is connected to the top of the non-porous cylinder, and an auxiliary cylinder is detachably connected to the top of the dehydration cylinder. The dewatering cylinder mentioned above is a punched metal cylinder or a stainless steel mesh cylinder, and can be replaced with a cylinder having a different water permeation hole diameter, and can be replaced as appropriate depending on the quality of the raw seaweed.

Furthermore, the auxiliary tube can be attached or detached depending on the amount of raw seaweed, and the length of the rotating shaft can be adjusted accordingly.

(Function) According to the present invention, since the spiral blade is used, the raw seaweed near the inner wall of the inner tank can be sequentially lowered by rotation of the rotating shaft.

Furthermore, since the stirring blades are gently sloped and given a lead angle, the raw seaweed on the inner wall of the inner tank can be moved toward the center of the inner tank and pushed downward. Furthermore, since the water sprinkler pipes are provided vertically and radially, water can be supplied to each layer of raw seaweed and water can be distributed evenly.

(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

An inner tank 2 for dehydration is installed in the outer Tll with a predetermined gap therebetween, a rotating shaft 3 is vertically installed in the center of the inner tank 2, and a water supply pipe 4 and a stirring blade 5 are attached to the rotating shaft 3. , and upper and lower connecting rods 7, 7 of the spiral blade 6 whose outer sides are close to the inner wall of the inner tank 2.
Concatenate. The inner tank 2 includes a lower non-porous cylinder 8, a middle cylinder 9 made of punched metal, and an upper auxiliary cylinder 1.
0, and the inner tank 2 is removable and can be replaced with a cylinder 9 with a suitable permeable hole diameter depending on the quality of the fresh seaweed.

In the above embodiment, when the rotating shaft 3 is rotated while the raw seaweed that has been processed (for example, cut and washed) is put into the inner tank 2 as shown by the arrow 24, the raw seaweed is rotated as shown by the arrow 24 due to the rotation of the stirring blade 5. As shown by arrow 11, the fresh seaweed is pressed toward the center (rotation shaft side), and when the entire raw seaweed rotates due to the rotation of the spiral blade 6, it receives a force that pushes it outward as shown by arrow 12. Further, due to the rotation of the spiral blade 6, the raw seaweed near the inner wall of the inner tank 2 is moved downward as indicated by the arrow 13. Therefore, raw seaweed is pushed inward appropriately, without being pushed excessively outward, and the outside part descends evenly, allowing for orderly loading and unloading, making the residence time in the inner tank uniform. This results in a homogeneous product. In addition, water enters from the water pipe 31 as shown by arrow 25, passes through the rotating shaft 3, and is blown out from the water supply pipe 4 from the top, middle, and bottom of the living seaweed in the tank, so each part is supplied with water relatively evenly, improving quality. can be achieved. In addition, since the base of the feed blade 14 is fixed to the lowest part of the rotating shaft 3, the feed blade 14
The raw seaweed sent to is sequentially fed into a funnel-shaped discharge port 15, discharged as indicated by arrow 16, and transported to the next process. In addition, since the cylinder 8 does not have a water hole, raw seaweed containing moisture is accumulated almost uniformly inside the cylinder 9, and the water level inside the cylinder 9 is maintained at a constant level by equalizing the amount of water removed and the amount of water supplied. be able to. The water discharged into the outer tank will be drained from the drain port 17, but if the drain cock 18 is closed and the water is drained from the drain hose 19, the water level in the outer tank will be at the level of the base of the hose 19. can be controlled. In the figure, 20 is a washing tank, 21 is a stirring blade in the washing tank, 22 is a drain, 23 is a drain pipe, and 26 is a detent whose one end is fixed to the inner wall of the cylinder 8 and the other end is loosely fitted to the rotating shaft 3. This board is used to cut the edge between the raw seaweed being sent to the feed blade 14 and the raw seaweed above it (to prevent rotation). The angle of inclination of the stirring blades 5 in the above is about 10 degrees, and several blades are provided above and below the rotating shaft. Furthermore, it is appropriate that the water supply pipes 4 have three pipes: upper, middle, and lower, but are not necessarily limited to this. The auxiliary cylinder 10 is fitted into the upper end of the cylinder 9 and held in place by retaining rings 27 and 28.

Therefore, it can be attached and detached easily and quickly. In the above case, when the auxiliary cylinder 10 is removed, the auxiliary rotating shaft 3a connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 3 can also be removed, and the support plate 30 of the upper bearing 29 of the rotating shaft 3 can be left as is. It can be fitted and fixed to the upper end of the cylinder 9 (indicated by the chain line 30a in FIG. 1).

(Effects of the Invention) Since this invention is provided with a spiral blade, it is possible to effectively lower the raw seaweed near the inner wall of the inner tank, and also to apply rotational force to the entire tank to slightly move the raw seaweed toward the inner tank wall. . Additionally, the stirring blades have the effect of pushing the raw seaweed toward the center. Furthermore, 4. It has various effects such as being able to supply water to the upper and lower parts of the fresh seaweed and making it possible to maintain an even moisture content.

In addition, by replacing the inner tank, it is possible to use a cylindrical container with a water permeation hole diameter that corresponds to the properties of raw seaweed.
