Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a small fish drainer cooling device that drains and cools water after simmering shirasu, which is a raw material for delicacies and Tsukudani, and small girls.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, for draining and cooling small fish such as shirasu after boiled, the scooping skeleton 10 that scoops boiled small fish from a boiling pot as shown in FIG. The body 9 was suspended at intervals, and was drained and cooled and dried by air cooling.

In recent years, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a steam heater is provided at the bottom, and small fish 4 such as shirasu and the like injected with water into the inlet 12 at the center are boiled while flowing to the outlet 13. A spiral-shaped fluidized-boiler 11 is used. The small fish 4 that has been ripened in the fluidized-boiler 11 and contains a large amount of hot water is sent from the outlet 13 to the conveyer 1 together with the hot water. It is continuously fed to a draining / cooling device constituted by a mesh-shaped conveyor 2 made of resin fiber which is arranged to be inclined.

The sloping mesh conveyor 2 is provided with the wind blown by the blower 3 provided on the upper side and the wind blown by the blower 3 in the process in which the small fish 4 are continuously fed, and the small fish 4 move upward diagonally. By removing the water-containing air by the exhaust fan 5, the water was drained, cooled, and transferred to the next transfer conveyor 7. However, the small fish 4 tended to adhere to the mesh conveyor 2 and did not naturally fall onto the conveyor 7 because the small fish 4 was forcibly scraped off by the peeling tool 8 below the final end of the mesh conveyor 2. The water dropped from the mesh conveyor 2 was collected at the lower part and discharged from the drainage port 6.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The conventional draining and cooling device that suspends the scooping colander on the colander frame is extremely inefficient because the scooping by scooping from the boiling pot and the multistage multi-row mounting on the colander frame are all done manually. Yes, it was not suitable for mass production.

[0006] In the conventional draining and cooling device that directly sends from a fluidized boiling pot to a mesh conveyor, small fish immediately after ripening containing a large amount of hot water are continuously fed and dispersed on the mesh conveyor. The cooling effect is improved because forced air cooling is performed by blowing and exhausting air, but since it is spread by dispersion and the small weight of small fish is lightened, it is a drainer that relies only on the wind, so the small fish itself does not have the effect of squeezing the water content. There was a drawback that the water was extremely poorly drained and remained attached to the surface of the mesh conveyor, and the phenomenon of not falling onto the next conveyor occurred frequently. For this reason, the peeling tool provided at the final end position forcibly peels the fish, which damages the fish and significantly reduces the quality of the product. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to extend the mesh conveyor or delay the moving time, which causes a large problem in the mass production such as an increase in the installation area and a decrease in the production amount.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the conventional problems, small fish such as shirasu sent out from the sending conveyor are operated by intermittently operating a drainer exhausted from the upper side and exhausted from the lower side, and a mesh conveyor that constitutes a cooling device is operated intermittently. Are squeezed out in a heap-like manner so that the contained water is squeezed out by its own weight and drained. In addition, the mesh conveyor is constructed so that it can be appropriately tilted in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement, so that the mesh conveyor 9 is intermittently raised to assist the flow of water discharged from the small fish and drain the water. Promote.

Further, the moving speed and the inclination angle of the mesh conveyor can be adjusted according to the size of the small fish body, the water content, etc., and the stopping time of the intermittent operation and the right angle around the moving direction are set as the axes. By configuring so that the inclination angle of the direction can be adjusted, the draining and cooling effects are improved.

[0009]

[Action]

 Due to the intermittent operation of the mesh conveyor for draining and cooling, the small fish containing a large amount of hot water continuously delivered from the conveyor are piled up intermittently in a heap shape, and due to the weight of the water content. Squeeze out water with pressing force. At the same time, the mesh-shaped conveyor bears at right angles to the moving direction, that is, in the left or right direction, or in the left-right direction, so that the drainage from the small fish discharged onto the mesh-shaped conveyor surface is made to flow down, thereby increasing efficiency. Drain and cool well.

The mesh conveyor is made of a non-water-absorbent resin fiber woven cloth, and the mesh is finely formed to prevent damage to small fish. Therefore, since the water discharged from the small fish adheres to the mesh and is stored, it is difficult to separate the water from the small fish in the dispersed state, and the effect of blowing air from the upper side and exhausting air from the lower side is also effective. Markedly reduced. Under such a phenomenon, by adjusting the stop time of the mesh conveyor according to the fish body and the water content of the small fish, the optimum amount of small fish is piled up in a heap shape, and water is discharged by applying its own weight. It is extremely effective to improve the drainage efficiency by properly adjusting the angle to the left and right with respect to the moving direction.

[0011]

【Example】

 The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described. 1 is a delivery conveyor that is connected to a small fish simmering device and sends out boiled small fish 4 containing a large amount of hot water. To this delivery conveyor 1, a resin fiber woven fabric that transports small fish in an upward direction. The mesh-shaped conveyor 2 is continuously installed. The mesh conveyor 2 is installed so as to be inclined so that the inclination angle and the stop time can be adjusted appropriately according to the fish body of the small fish, the water content, etc., and is operated intermittently. Therefore, since the small fish 4 fed from the feeding conveyor 1 are fed to the same position during the stop time, they are intermittently piled up in a heap shape as shown in FIG. Further, the mesh conveyor 2 can appropriately adjust the inclination angle and the inclination direction in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction. That is, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3, it is possible to move the small fish 4 placed in a tilted state by tilting it leftward, rightward, or leftward and rightward alternately. Therefore, the small fish 4 heaped up in a state of containing a large amount of hot water squeezes out water by its own weight and moves while draining, whereby water is removed and draining is performed.

A plurality of blowers 3 for sending wind to the moving mountain-like small fish 4 are provided above the mesh conveyor 2, and moisture is absorbed below the mesh conveyor 2 by sucking moist air. An air blower 5 is installed to perform forced air cooling as in the conventional cooling device, and a drainage port 6 for water discharged from the small fish 4 and dropped is provided at the bottom.

The heap-shaped small fish 4 sent by the mesh conveyor 2 is sent to the next conveyor 7, but since it is well drained, even if it is not scraped off by the peeling tool at the final end. The particles are dispersed on the conveyor 7 and spread out. Therefore, the small fish 4 is drained without damaging the fish body and simultaneously cooled.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention eliminates the need for a large land or a large drying area, and can adjust the inclination angle and stop time without being affected by seasonal changes and weather, and can be piled up while being transported by a mesh-shaped conveyor that operates intermittently. It is possible to mass-produce high-quality products that retain the original shape of the fish by draining water due to the weight of small fish and draining and cooling efficiently in a short time.
