 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seaweed manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly, to an arrangement structure of indoor conveyors for transporting seaweed holders in a dry chamber in an upright posture in which they are close to each other.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 At present, the commonly used laver production equipment is adapted to produce dry laver by circulating the laver cage holder on a conveyor to circulate the paper making section, dehydration section, drying room, and stripping section (for example, (Kaisho 60-224477).

FIG. 5 is a front view of a conventional drying chamber. Reference numeral 1 denotes a drying chamber, inside which endless chains 21 as indoor conveyors are arranged on the left and right. Reference numeral 3 denotes a seaweed holder, which holds a seaweed 3b on a horizontal rod 3a. The seaweed 3b is attached with the raw seaweed m deposited at the paper making section. As shown in the figure, the seaweed cage holder 3 is constructed such that both ends of the horizontal rod 3a are horizontally placed on the left and right endless chains 21 and the warm air a sent into the drying chamber 1 while being conveyed in an upright posture. , Dry raw seaweed m.

FIG. 6 is a side view of the endless chain 21.

Reference numeral 21a is a roller forming the endless chain 21, and 21b is a substantially oval-shaped horizontal plate in which the roll 21a is pivotally mounted by a pin 21c.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 A large tension is applied to the endless chain 21 because a large number of seaweed holders 3 are laid horizontally. Therefore, as the endless chain 21, a large and strong one having a large number is used. Incidentally, the size of the chain is generally expressed by the number, and the larger the number, the larger and stronger the chain.

At present, the chain used as the indoor conveyor of the drying chamber is a fairly large and strong chain, for example, the number 80. Since the endless chain 21 is of such a large size and is strong in order to withstand the above tension, the interval T between the protrusions 23 is correspondingly large. For this reason, the interval T ′ between the seaweed holders 3 transported in the standing position in the drying chamber 1 also increases, which causes a space loss in the drying chamber 1 and increases the length of the drying chamber 1. It was

If a small chain with a small number is used, the distances T and T'can be reduced by that amount, but the small chain has low strength and cannot withstand the tension. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a means for using a large and strong chain having a large number as an indoor conveyor, and further, making it possible to reduce the interval between the seaweed holders. ..

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this purpose, the present invention is configured by arranging the indoor conveyors 2 in the drying chamber 1 with two endless chains 21, 21 offset from each other by a half pitch. Then, the horizontal rod 3a of the seaweed cage holder 3 is horizontally mounted on the projections 23 projecting at a pitch on each of the endless chains 21 and 21, so that the seaweed cage holder 3 is conveyed in the drying chamber 1. This is what I did.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the size of the interval t between the protrusions 23 and the protrusions 23 is 1/2 of that of the conventional means, and the seaweed cage holders 3 are placed close to each other and placed horizontally on the endless chains 21 and 21 in a standing posture. Therefore, the length of the drying chamber 1 can be shortened.

[0010]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of the seaweed production apparatus. Reference numeral 1 denotes a drying chamber, inside which an indoor conveyor 2 composed of an endless chain is arranged. Reference numeral 3 denotes a seaweed holder, and the raw seaweed applied to the cage of the seaweed holder 3 is dried while being conveyed by the indoor conveyor 2. The seaweed holder 3 is conveyed by the conveyor 2 from the rear part of the drying chamber 1 toward the front outlet part 4.

In front of the drying chamber 1, a transfer conveyor 6 composed of an endless chain is arranged. A transfer conveyor 9 is arranged along the bottom and the rear of the drying chamber 1. Reference numeral 11 is a sprocket with an endless chain. A paper making section 7 and a dehydrating section 8 are provided on the lower traveling path of the transport conveyor 6. Further, a stripping portion 10 is provided on the upper traveling path of the transport conveyor 6. Therefore, the seaweed holder 3 in which the raw seaweed is deposited on the cage in the paper making section 7 is passed from the conveyor 6 to the transfer conveyor 9 in the lower front part A of the drying chamber 1 through the dehydrating section 8 and is leveled. It is conveyed straight from the front to the rear along the bottom of the drying chamber 1 in the posture. The seaweed holder 3 is conveyed to the transfer conveyor 9 in a horizontal state, so that the conveyance space at the bottom of the drying chamber 1 is reduced. It is possible to design the transport conveyor 6 and the transfer conveyor 9 from the same endless chain, or the transfer conveyor 9 may be divided into a plurality of parts.

Further, the seaweed holder 3 rises vertically from the bottom B at the rear of the drying chamber 1 and is transferred from the transfer conveyor 9 to the indoor conveyor 2 at the upper portion C at the rear of the drying chamber 1. Then, by being conveyed from the rear portion C to the front portion D in the standing posture by the indoor conveyor 2, the raw seaweed is gradually dried. Further, in the front part D of the drying chamber 1, the nori seaweed holder 3 is transferred from the indoor conveyor 2 to the transfer conveyor 6 and sent to the stripping part 10 to strip dry seaweed from the seashell. The seaweed holder 3 from which the dry seaweed has been stripped off is returned to the paper making section 7 by the conveyor 6.

As described above, the seaweed cage holder 3 is conveyed straight from the rear upper portion C to the front upper portion D of the drying chamber 1. Therefore, the area E1 near the rear part where the water content of raw laver is extremely high and the high temperature atmosphere is required at the early stage of drying, and the outlet part where the water content of laver is low and the low temperature atmosphere is required just before the end of drying. Area E2 near 4 is completely separated, and both areas E1 and E2 can be temperature-controlled completely separately.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the indoor conveyor 2, FIG. 3 is a side view, and FIG. 4 is a front view. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the indoor conveyor 2 is configured by arranging two endless chains 21 in parallel. Reference numeral 21a is a roller, and 21b is a horizontal plate that pivotally mounts the roller 21a by a pin 21c. An angled frame 22 is attached to the horizontal plate 21c, and a pin-shaped projection 23 is provided on the frame 22 in a protruding manner. As shown in the figure, the horizontal rod 3a of the seaweed holder 3 is conveyed with its both ends locked by the projections 23.

As shown in particular in FIG. 2, the one endless chains 21, 21 are arranged side by side with a half pitch offset from each other, so that the projections 23 of one endless chain 21 and the other endless chain 21 are arranged side by side. The interval t between the protrusions 23 of the 21 is 1/2 of the conventional interval T shown in FIG. 6, and the interval t ′ of the seaweed holder 3 is also 1/2 of the interval T ′ (strictly, 1). / 2 or less). Therefore, the seaweed cage holders 3 are conveyed in the standing position in close proximity to each other in the drying chamber 1. Therefore, a larger number of seaweed cage holders 3 can be stored and transported in the drying chamber 1, and the total length of the drying chamber 1 can be increased accordingly. Can be shortened. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, as a drying chamber, a seaweed holder as disclosed in JP-A-60-224477 is carried into the drying chamber from the front inlet of the drying chamber. However, it can also be applied to a system in which the drying chamber is circulated once and carried out from the front exit.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the indoor conveyor 2 in the drying chamber 1 is configured by arranging two endless chains 21 and 21 side by side with a half pitch offset from each other. Since the horizontal rod 3a of the seaweed holder 3 is horizontally mounted on the protrusions 23 protruding at a pitch and the seaweed holder 3 is conveyed in the drying chamber 1, the seaweed holder 3 The interval t ′ of 3 can be made 1/2 of that of the conventional means so that they can be transported close to each other in the drying chamber 1. Therefore, the density of the seaweed holder 3 in the drying chamber 1 can be increased to increase the drying chamber. The total length within 1 can be shortened.
