Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning filamentous seaweeds such as mozuku, hijiki, amakusa and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when removing the shrimp (small shrimp) and dust adhering to the filamentous seaweed, an operator swings the filamentous seaweed in water.

[0003]

In the conventional case, since the worker rocks the filamentous seaweed in water, there is a problem that the cleaning efficiency of the filamentous seaweed is poor.

[0004]

In order to advantageously solve the above problems, in the filamentous seaweed cleaning apparatus of the present invention, a drainage port 2 is provided at the bottom of a water tank 1 for supplying the filamentous seaweed from above. In the water tank 1, there is provided an endless net conveyor 5 for transferring a filamentous seaweed, which comprises an upper inclined portion 3 which is moved obliquely upward and a large number of filamentous seaweed engaging members 4, for transferring the filamentous seaweed. A washing water supply unit 6 is provided above the upper inclined portion 3 of the endless net conveyor 5.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings show a cleaning apparatus for filamentous seaweeds according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a drainage port 2 is provided in a lower portion of a water tank 1 for supplying the filamentous seaweeds 8 from above, and the drainage port thereof is provided. 2, a drainage pump 7 is connected via an on-off valve 9, and two drive sprockets 11 are fixed in the water tank 1 to a drive shaft 10 rotatably installed under the water tank 1.
A drive sprocket 13 for transmission fixed to an output shaft of a drive device 12 including an electric motor with a reduction gear, and the drive shaft 10.
A transmission chain 15 is wound around the transmission driven sprocket 14 fixed to the.

A driven shaft 17 is rotatably installed over a support frame 16 fixed to both right and left sides of the water tank 1, and two driven sprockets 18 are fixed to the driven shaft 17 and each drive sprocket 11 and each driven shaft are driven. Sprocket 18
An endless chain 20 each having a roller 19 is wound around, and both ends of a large number of connecting members 21 arranged at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the chain are bolted to a support fitting 22 fixed to the endless chain 20 by a bolt 23. The net 24 is fixed between the connecting members 21 adjacent to each other, and the connecting member 21 and the end portions of the nets 24 arranged on both sides of the connecting member 21 are connected to each other by spirally winding the connecting member 21. Every other connecting member 2 connected by a wire 25
The filamentous seaweed engaging member 4 extending in the longitudinal direction of the connecting member 21 is arranged on the surface side of the connecting member 21, and the filamentous seaweed engaging member 4 is fixed to the connecting member 21 by a bolt 26.

A bearing member 2 having left and right side surfaces inside the water tank 1 and having side surfaces continuous with the inner side surfaces of the support frame 16.
7 is fixed, between both ends of each filamentous seaweed engaging member 4,
An elastic sealing material 28 made of a belt-shaped rubber plate is arranged, an end portion of the elastic sealing material 28 is fixed to the connecting member 21 by a bolt 29, and a side edge portion of the net 24 and the elastic sealing material 28 are made of nylon. The elastic sealing material 28 is bound by a binding wire 30 made of synthetic fiber, and the side edges of the elastic sealing material 28 are pressed against the side surfaces of the support frame 16 and the support member 27.

The two endless chains 20, the connecting member 21, the net 24 and the filamentous seaweed engaging member 4 supported thereby constitute an endless net conveyor 5 for transferring the filamentous seaweed. The transfer endless net conveyor 5 extends from the lower part of the water tank 1 upwards in a direction in which the endless net conveyor 5 inclines forward, and then extends substantially horizontally toward the front, and the rollers 19 of each endless chain 20.
Are guided by the guide rails 31 fixed to the side surface of the water tank 1 and the support frame 16. The endless net conveyor 5 for transferring the filamentous seaweed is circulatively driven so that the upper inclined portion 3 is moved obliquely upward, and above the upper inclined portion 3, a wash water supply including a water supply pipe having an opening / closing control valve 32 is supplied. A section 6 is provided.

The endless net conveyor 5 for transferring the filamentous seaweed is circulated by the drive unit 12, and the washing water is continuously supplied from the washing water supply section 6 into the water tank 1, and the water tank 1 is also supplied.
When the water to be washed is supplied from the upper part of the water tank 1 while the water in the water tank 1 is continuously discharged from the lower part of the water tank and a downward flow is generated in the water tank 1, the thread-shaped seaweeds to be cleaned become filamentous. The shrimps attached to the filamentous seaweeds while hitting the upper inclined portion 3 of the endless net conveyor 5 for transferring seaweeds and then being transported uphill in the water in the water tank 1 by the endless net conveyor 5 for transferring filamentous seaweeds. And dust is removed by the descending water stream.

The shrimp and dust removed from the filamentous seaweed pass through the net 24 by the descending water flow, and then are discharged by the drainage pump 7 through the drainage port 2. The washed filamentous seaweed is transferred to the filamentous seaweed endless net conveyor 5
Then, it is conveyed by being inclined and lifted up, then discharged from the water tank 1 and conveyed forward, and then falls from the front end portion of the endless net conveyor 5 for transferring the filamentous seaweed and is housed in a container (not shown).

When carrying out the present invention, water or air may be jetted from the jet pipe 33 above the upper inclined portion 3 in the water tank 1 to stir the thread-like seaweed to be washed in the water. Further, in order to surely drop the washed filamentous seaweed conveyed to the front end of the filamentous seaweed transferring endless net conveyor 5, the water jet pipe 34 is placed inside the front end of the filamentous seaweed transferring endless net conveyor 5. May be provided. As the net 24, a stainless steel wire net or a synthetic resin net may be used.

[0012]

According to the present invention, a drainage port 2 is provided in a lower portion of a water tank 1 for supplying filamentous seaweed from above, and in the water tank 1, an upper inclined portion 3 which is slanted upward and a large number of filaments are formed. Since the endless net conveyor 5 for transferring the filamentous seaweed provided with the seaweed engaging member 4 is provided, and the cleaning water supply unit 6 is provided above the upper inclined portion 3 of the endless net conveyor 5 for transferring the filamentous seaweed. The washing of filamentous seaweed can be continuously performed with high mechanical efficiency without manual labor. Further, by connecting the drainage pump 7 to the drainage port 2, the water flow passing through the endless net conveyor 5 for transferring the filamentous seaweed is forcibly generated in the water tank 1 to further improve the cleaning efficiency of the filamentous seaweed.
