Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention rotates a container loaded with a rice bran bed inside the container to agitate the rice bran bed inside the container, thereby producing consistently good rice bran miso pickles. The present invention relates to a rice bran miso pickle manufacturing device, and particularly to a rice bran miso pickle manufacturing device that can stably rotate the container.

[Conventional technology]

Since ancient times, rice bran miso pickles have been considered a treasured household food, and in particular, the basic ingredient, bran bed (bran miso), has been passed down from housewives to their daughters or daughters-in-law as family heirlooms.

In this way, pickles are produced by first making a rice bran bed by fermenting moromi from a mixture of rice bran, boiled water, and an appropriate amount of salt, and then adding ingredients such as raw vegetables to the rice bran bed. This fermentation is basically lactic acid bacteria fermentation, but in addition to this, fermentation by yeast bacteria is also involved.For this reason, the nukadoko is stirred several times a day to pump air into the nukadoko, and at the same time, the nukadoko is heated. It is necessary to remove the gas generated.

Conventionally, as the above-mentioned rice bran bed stirring device, a container 102 in which a rice bran bed is loaded onto a pair of supporting rollers 100, 101 arranged in parallel as shown in FIG.
An apparatus is known in which a rice bran bed is placed on the container 102, and the rollers 100 and 101 are rotated by a drive device (not shown) such as a motor to impart rotation to the container 102, thereby stirring the rice bran bed inside the container 102.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned FIG. 3, in particular, the side wall A of the container 102 is
If the opening 103 and the bottom 104 have different diameters, the container 1
02 is not rotated by the rotation of the rollers 100, 101, but rather is thrown out from the rollers 100, 101.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to stably rotate a container loaded with rice bran bed, and as a result, to sufficiently stir the rice bran bed inside, a rice bran miso pickle production device that solves the drawbacks of the above-mentioned known technology. Our goal is to provide the following.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, according to the present invention,
A pair of support rollers, at least one of which is rotated by a rotational drive member, a support arm having a support protrusion protruding from one end, and a cylindrical container filled with a rice bran bed; The supporting rollers and supporting protrusions are respectively arranged at the apexes of the triangle formed by these three points, and the container is rotatably placed on the pair of supporting rollers and is supported by the supporting protrusions. It is characterized in that it is supported on the rotating shaft of the container.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a specific example of the device of the present invention, in which a pair of support rollers 1 and 2, a rotary drive member 3 such as a motor, and a support arm 5 are arranged on a base 8. Of these, the support rollers 1 and 2 are rotatably supported by support stands 11 and 12, respectively, and a belt 4 is driven by a rotary drive member 3 such as a motor with respect to at least one of the support rollers, for example, the support roller 1. Rotation is applied through the
Further, a support protrusion 6 is provided at one end of the support arm 5, and the support arm 5 and the pair of rollers 1,
2 are placed at the vertices of the triangle formed by these three points.

9 is a container filled with rice bran and has a cylindrical shape. This cylindrical shape is the side wall A
may have a tapered shape, and the opening and the bottom may have the same diameter. This container 9 is laid down horizontally, and the upper side wall part is rotatably placed on the support rollers 1 and 2, and the bottom part is supported by the support protrusion 6 on the rotation axis of the container 9, so that the support rollers 1 and 2 and It is supported at three points by the support projections 6. Note that if a rotary ball 7 is attached to the tip of the support protrusion 6, the contact portion will slide more easily when the container 9 rotates. 10 is a lid of the container 9.

[Effect]

In the above-mentioned apparatus of the present invention, after the container 9 loaded with the bran bed is closed with the lid 10, the supporting rollers 1 and 2
The container 9 is supported at three points by being placed on the support protrusion 6 on the rotating shaft of the container 9, and then by applying rotation to the support roller 1 from the rotary drive member 3 via the belt 4. be rotated.

At this time, since the container 9 is supported at three points by the support rollers 1 and 2 and the support protrusion 6, even if the side wall A of the container 9
has a taper, and even though the opening and bottom diameters are different, it can be rotated well, and the bran bed inside can be well stirred.

In addition, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, even if the side wall A of the container 9 does not have a taper and the diameter of the opening and the bottom are the same, the container 9 can be maintained as well as shown in FIG. 1, for example. Rotated in the direction of the arrow. In this case, if one side of the base 8 is lifted by placing the tilting table 13 below the support rollers 1 and 2 side of the base 8 and tilted in the direction of the support protrusion 6, the container 9 will be moved towards the support protrusion 6.
Since the shaft is sufficiently supported by the shaft, it can be rotated more stably.

〔Example〕

A rotation test was conducted using the apparatus shown in FIG. Container 9 had an opening diameter of 25 cm, a height of 12 cm, and a taper angle of 7°, and about half of the rice bran was filled inside. Support rollers 1 and 2 each have a diameter of 5 cm,
The width is 1 cm, and the rotation speed is 80 rpm. Also, the diameter of the rotating ball 7 at the tip of the support protrusion 6 is 1.2 cm.
It is.

Under these conditions, the container 9 was continuously rotated for a long period of time, and the container 9 rotated stably and the bran bed inside was sufficiently stirred.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the rice bran miso pickle manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, the cylindrical container can be stably rotated even if the side wall is formed in a tapered shape, and the rice bran bed inside can be sufficiently stirred.
