Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an improvement in a conveying device for soaked rice used in sake brewing, for example, which continuously conveys soaked rice from a rice soaking tank to a rice steaming machine. .

[Conventional technology]

In general, a belt conveyor that transports and supplies soaked granular materials such as soaked rice has its upper side slanted slightly upward, and its upper end in the downward tangential direction of the rotating roll 1 on the lower side of the conveyor, as shown in FIG. is in contact with or close to the surface of the belt 2, and
It has a structure in which a plate-shaped scraper 3 having approximately the same width as the belt 2 is installed vertically.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

According to the conveying device configured as described above, the soaked rice 4 and the like are not attached to the belt 2 and taken away due to the action of the scraper 3, and for example, the soaked rice 4 is continuously fed into the rice steamer 5. However, as shown in the figure, when the soaked rice 4 is poorly drained, excess water adhering to the soaked rice 4 propagates to the surface of the scraper 3, becomes water droplets 6, and is fed directly into the rice steamer 5. Ru. This results in the production of raw steamed rice, which requires re-steaming, resulting in extremely inefficient operations and large time losses.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been developed in view of these circumstances.The structure of the present invention, which solves the problems of the prior art, is that the lower side of the conveyor side is tilted slightly upward, and the rotary roll on the lower side of the conveyor side is tilted downward. In a conveying device for immersed materials having a belt conveyor structure in which a plate-shaped scraper whose upper end is in contact with or close to the belt surface in the cutting line direction and whose width is approximately the same as the width of the belt is vertically disposed, the lower end of the scraper is , a water drop guide plate bent downward in a direction opposite to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor is arranged in series, and the water drop discharge end of the water drop guide plate is connected to a submerged object receiving body disposed below the discharge end of the belt conveyor. It is characterized by being located on the outside and above.

〔Example〕

Next, details of embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the main parts, Figure 2 is a partially cutaway side view of the same as above, Figure 3 is a side view of another embodiment of the scraper, Figure 4 is a bottom view of the water drop guide plate, and Figure 5 is the conventional FIG. 3 is a partially cutaway side view of the device.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a belt conveyor whose lower side of conveyance is slightly inclined upward, and in the downward tangential direction of the rotary roll 12 on the lower side of conveyance of this belt conveyor 11, the belt conveyor 11 contacts or comes close to the belt surface of the belt conveyor 11. A water droplet guiding plate 14 is connected to the lower part of the scraper 13, which is bent downward in a direction opposite to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 11. The water droplet discharge end of this water droplet guide plate 14 is positioned outside and above the opening of the hopper 16 formed in the rice steamer 15 shown in the figure, and a water droplet receiver 17 is provided at the lower end of this water droplet guide plate 14. It is something that

Soaked rice 18 is placed between the entire front width of the lower end of the scraper 13 and the entire front lower width of the water drop guide plate 14 through a gap that does not allow the soaked rice 18 to pass through.
Fall guiding rods 19a and 19b are provided. One of the fall guide rods 19a is connected to this and the scraper 1.
Water droplets that adhere to the surface of the scraper 13 and flow down through the gap formed between the surface of the scraper 13 and the surface of the scraper 13 are guided down along the lower surface of the water drop guide plate 14, and the water droplets are guided along the surface of the scraper 13. It has the effect of repelling the soaked rice 18, which is about to move along with the water droplets, toward the outside in the direction of the plate 14, and
The other drop guiding rod 19b is connected to this and the water drop guiding plate 1.
The water droplets adhering to and flowing on the lower surface of the water drop guide plate 14 are guided to flow down through the gap formed between the lower surface of the water drop guide plate 14 and the soaked rice 18 is entrained from the scraper 13 together with the water droplets. It has the effect of causing the objects to fall as shown in Figure 2. In the figure, 20 is a housing in which a motor (not shown) for driving the belt conveyor 11 is housed.

Further, as is clear from FIG. 1, the water droplet receiver 14 is formed into an isosceles triangular shape with the base having a side having the same length as the lower end edge width of the scraper 13, and concentrates the water droplets at one point. so that the water drops fall onto the water drop guide plate 14. Further, the angle between the scraper 13 and the water drop guide plate 14 is approximately
Although 1150° is preferred, this angle is not specific. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the front edge of the water drop guide plate 14 is pivoted to the lower end of the scraper 13, and the back surface of the scraper 13 and the water drop guide plate 1
By interposing a turnbuckle mechanism 21 between the scraper 13 and the upper surface of the water droplet guiding plate 14, the angle between the scraper 13 and the water drop guiding plate 14 can be adjusted as desired.

In the above embodiment, the conveyance end of the belt conveyor 11 is placed above the hopper 16 of the rice steamer 15, but if a plurality of belt conveyors 11 are used, the conveyance end of the belt conveyor 11 is placed above the hopper 16 of the rice steamer 15. It may also be placed above the upper side of the conveyor (not shown).

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(a) Moisture contained in the soaked items being conveyed on the belt conveyor is naturally flowed down to the upper side due to the upward sloping position of the belt conveyor, and the soaked items are removed from the output end on the lower side by the action of the scraper. (b) Excess water adhering to the surface of the scraper flows down through this surface and is transmitted to the lower surface of the water drop guide plate, The excess water drops flow down along the surface and are discharged and collected from the discharge end of the water drop guide plate, and the excess water droplets do not fall and be supplied to, for example, a rice steamer, thereby preventing generation of raw steamed rice.

(c) In addition, by removing excess water, it is possible to reduce the amount of water that enters the back side of the belt conveyor, thereby reducing slippage of the belt conveyor due to water.
