BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an octopus steaming and boiling apparatus for obtaining an octopus product in which a raw octopus is used as a octopus or steamed octopus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, boiled octopus, steamed octopus,
Boiled octopus and the like are known. In this case, for example, in the case of octopus processing, a mere boiler pot is used, and boiling water is poured over this to boil the octopus for a certain period of time. Further, as the steamed octopus processing device, a steam conveyor having a tunnel path is simply provided with a transport conveyor having a support rod for mounting an octopus, and the octopus straddled by the support rod is It is a dedicated steaming device that is steamed by passing through a steamer in a tunnel (see Jpn. Sho 64-195).

[0003]

That is, the conventional apparatus for processing octopus such as boiled octopus or steamed octopus is a so-called dedicated apparatus which requires a dedicated mechanism corresponding to each process. For this reason, in order to obtain both products (steamed octopus and boiled octopus), each device must be equipped independently, which is a problem in a small space processing facility, and the work process is troublesome. Has become. In addition, in the above-mentioned pot type boiled octopus, continuous processing steps cannot be taken, which is inefficient, and in the above steamed octopus processing, a conveyor type conveying means is used to perform continuous processing. Even in such a case, the octopus has to be hung on each of the supporting rods by hand, which requires a troublesome manual work. In addition, the steamer for the tunnel has no means for easily cleaning it even if the inside of the tunnel becomes dirty due to long-term use.

In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a double communicating tank in which an external tank for steaming or boiling using steam and a detachable internal tank are combined to provide a steaming and boiling apparatus for octopus which solves the above problems. It is intended to be provided.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a rectangular external tank having a large number of steam pipes for steaming or boiling water laid at the bottom is formed, and a pipe conveyor is arranged at the bottom at the bottom inside the external tank. The installed internal tank is vertically movable to form a double communicating tank structure, and at least one inversion tripper part is formed in the middle of the carrier part of the pipe conveyor, and the upper surface of the double communicating tank is formed. The lid is removable.

[0006]

With the above-described structure, when boiling octopus, an appropriate amount of water is filled in the inner and outer tanks and the steam is jetted from the steam pipe located at the bottom surface to bring the water into a predetermined temperature (100 ° C).
And, the octopus that has been slimmed down is placed on the pipe conveyor of the inner tank that will be the hot water tank and can be transported for a predetermined distance, the octopus becomes a boiled boiled octopus product by the heat of the hot water during the transportation .
At this time, since the position of the octopus is changed due to the fall and reversal that occurs in the tripper part which is an S-shaped hook in the middle of the pipe conveyor, the heat of heat is transferred to each part of the octopus. Also, in the steamed octopus process, an empty tank that is not filled with water is used, and the upper surface of the double communication tank is covered. Then it is steamed with steam and processed into steamed octopus. In this heat transfer by steam, there is a large difference in heat transfer between the surface directly hit by steam and the back surface.Therefore, the tripper part in the middle of the pipe conveyor is appropriately inverted to eliminate the non-heat transfer part. The steamed octopus finish is good. In addition, since this device has a structure in which the internal tank with a pipe conveyor itself is fitted and detached from the external tank, if the tank (external tank, etc.) becomes dirty, the internal tank is temporarily suspended by an appropriate means, and the double communication tank is set up. As a separate structure, the bottom (external tank) etc. are cleaned.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a rectangular outer tank having a plurality of steam pipes 2 for steaming and boiling which are orthogonal to the longitudinal direction at a bottom portion 1a. Inside the outer tank 1, circulation holes 3 are provided on both side surfaces 4a.
A large number of holes are drilled and the bottom surface is removed to make the bottom 5 and the pipe conveyor 6 at the bottom.
The frame-shaped rectangular internal tank 4 in which is arranged is fitted and arranged through the gap a so that the pipe conveyor 6 does not come into contact with the steam pipe 2 to form the double communicating tank 8. in this case,
The pipe conveyor 6 has a plurality of reversing tripper parts 7 formed in the middle of the carrier part 6a (two positions are shown in the drawing, but one to three positions if necessary). The configuration of the tripper portion 7 is one in which two sprockets 9a and 9b are arranged vertically in the carrier portion 6a, and the pipe conveyor 6 is bent in an S shape and hung.
A drop (for example, about 40 cm) is formed between the end of the pipe conveyor 6 facing a and the pipe conveyor 6 on the lower front side, and the octopus is inverted when dropped. Further, setting support pieces 10 are provided on the four sides of the lower end of the inner tank 4 which are the front and rear edges, and the receiving holes 10a formed in the support pieces 10 are tapered for the positioning leg shafts 11 standing upright on the outer tank 1 on the fixed side. The positioning set is configured to be dropped into the portion 11a. Reference numeral 12 denotes a lid portion that is detachably arranged on the upper surface of the double communication tank 8, and the whole configuration of the lid portion 12 serves as an octopus steaming and boiling device 13. Reference numeral 14 is a lifting hook projecting from the front and rear positions of the inner tank 4, 15 is a variable speed motor integrally installed in the machine frame of the inner tank 4, and a chain 16 hooked on the motor 15 is hooked on a drive sprocket 9c of the pipe conveyor 6, The motor 15 moves as the inner tank 4 moves up and down. 1
Reference numeral 7 is a steam pipe in which the large number of steam pipes 2 are appropriately branched. Reference numeral 18 denotes a conveyor guide piece projecting from the side surface 4a of the inner tank 4 at the inclined end of the tripper portion 7 of the pipe conveyor 6.

Explaining this action, first, in boiling octopus processing, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the inner tank 4 of the double communicating tank 8 (for example, about 60% of the tank). In this case, since the inner tank 4 has the draining bottom 5 and the circulation holes 3 on both side surfaces 4a, the same water level is maintained even on the outer tank 1 side where the steam pipe 2 is arranged. Then, the plug of the steam pipe 17 is opened, and a large number of ejection holes 20 are formed in the bottom portion 1a of the outer tank 1 on the lower surface side of the steam pipe 2.
If more steam is ejected, the steam sequentially heats the water to form hot water (for example, in a water tank with a length of 5 m and a width of 1.5 m,
It reaches 100 ° C in time). The state of boiling water by the steam flows from the bottom portion 1a of the outer tank 1 to the inner tank 4 and from the gap portion 1ba formed between the outer tank 1 and the inner tank 4 to the inner tank 1 through the circulation hole 3. A hot water tank 8'is efficiently constructed with circulating convection. The initial amount of water to be poured into the inner tank 4 is assumed to be the water content of the steam to be injected, and when the water becomes hot, it is filled with water. Further, in the boiling octopus process, the upper surface of the double communicating tank 8 is not closed.

Here, the octopus A with rounded legs which has been subjected to the pretreatment process for slime removal is provided at the base of the inner tub 4 which becomes the hot tub 8'with a carrying-in means (not shown) such as a net conveyor. If the octopus is carried in from, the octopus is received by the lower pipe conveyor 6 and sequentially moved forward in the hot water (100 ° C.) so that it can be boiled continuously. In this case, since the belt conveyor 6 has the reversing tripper part 7 in the middle, the octopus that has advanced to the upper end head part of the tripper part 7 falls down and is received by the pipe conveyor 6 below (for example, a drop of about 40 cm). Although it is forward feed, the octopus is inverted and the posture of the transfer state is changed at the time of this drop, so that the heat transfer to the octopus parts is uniform and the boiled condition is good. That is, the octopus is boiled while passing through the inner tank 4 of the hot water tank 8'having a predetermined length (for example, it takes 7 to 10 minutes to pass through the tank). The boiled octopus is delivered from the end of the carrier portion 6a having an upper slope to a cooling water tank (not shown) containing ice in the next step.

When steamed octopus processing is performed, the double communication tank 8 is not filled with hot water like the above-mentioned octopus octopus processing, and has an empty tank structure, and the lid 12 is provided on the upper surface of the double communication tank 8. It is a kind of tunnel road that has openings at the front and rear ends of the cover. After that, the plug of the steam pipe 17 is opened to fill the inner tank 4 with the steam ejected from the steam pipe 2 at the bottom portion to form the steam tank 8 ″.

In this case, if the octopus pretreated in the same manner as described above is carried in through the inlet 4b of the inner tank 4 and transferred by the lower pipe conveyor 6, the octopus directly receives the steam ejected from the steam pipe 2 and is sequentially steamed. Go. As described above, in steaming with steam, heat transfer is significantly different between the surface directly exposed to steam and the back surface (inner side) not exposed to steam.
The octopus posture is changed by repeating the fall reversal accompanying the passage of No. 1, so that the entire front and back of the octopus is subjected to a uniform steaming action (for example, it takes 10 to 20 minutes to pass through the tank). The steamed octopus is also fed to the cooling water tank from the outlet 4c of the inner tank 4 as described above.

Further, when the apparatus is used for a long period of time, if dirt such as octopus scraps or scales adheres to or accumulates on the pipe conveyor 6 of the inner tank 4 or the bottom 1a of the outer tank 1, it is necessary to clean the dirt. (For example, once a month). At this time, with the lid 12 removed, one end of a chain block (not shown) arranged on the ceiling or the like is hooked on the lifting hooks 14 projecting from the upper edge of the inner tank 4 to perform the lifting operation. For example, the inner tank 4 is simply double fitted to the outer tank 1, and this engagement is a state in which the tapered portion 11a of the outer tank side leg shaft 11 is fitted into the receiving hole 10a of the inner tank side support piece 10. Since the taper portion 11a is only
0a escapes and the internal tank 4 itself rises. This internal tank 4
After being pulled up to a certain height, a supporting leg girder (not shown) having an appropriate width is interposed between the lower surface of the inner tank 4 and the upper surface of the outer tank 1 for temporary support. Here, the bottom portion 1a and the steam pipe 2 may be properly cleaned and inspected in the outer tank 1, and the pipe conveyor 6 and the like below the inner tank 4 suspended in the air may be cleaned and inspected.

Contrary to the above, in the return set after cleaning and inspection, if the inner tank 4 is slightly floated to remove the supporting leg girder, and the inner tank 4 is lowered from the position directly above the outer tank 1 in this state,
Since the receiving holes 10a of the inner tank-side supporting pieces 10 projecting from both ends are automatically fitted into the sharp ends of the taper portion 11a of the fixed outer tank-side leg shaft 11, a simple positioning set can be performed.

[0015]

As described above, the steaming and boiling apparatus for octopus of the present invention has a dual structure of an outer tank having a steam pipe at the bottom and an inner tank having a pipe conveyor at the bottom of the fitting bottom. Since it is a communicating tank and several points of reversing trippers are provided on the pipe conveyor, the inner tank is used as a boiling water tank for steaming octopus, and the raw octopus transferred by the pipe conveyor is automatically boiled with this transfer. Therefore, it becomes a simple processing work. In this case, since the pipe conveyor is equipped with a tripper, the octopus is properly inverted so that good heat transfer can be performed and a uniform octopus can be obtained. When processing steamed octopus, the double communication tank is covered with a tunnel to switch to a steam tank by filling only steam without pouring water into the inner tank. The live octopus is steamed with steam, but in steaming of steam, there is a significant heat transfer difference between the surface directly exposed to steam and the back side, so the transfer position is forced to change by falling reversal by the tripper part. Because it is obtained, it has a steamed finish without spots. Moreover, since this steaming and boiling device has a detachable structure in which the inner and outer tanks can be fitted and detached,
When cleaning the bottom or the like, the inner tank can be easily pulled up, which facilitates cleaning and inspection. In addition, the positioning of this fitting set has a structure in which the receiving hole on the inner tank side and the taper part of the leg shaft that serves as the fixing pin on the outer tank side are fitted together, so a simple separation work can be performed. Have an effect.
