2. Description of the Related Art The mashing work in the manufacturing process of canned tangerines must be mashed so as not to damage or crush the peeled fruits. , Japanese Examined Sho 42-3812
As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-29304, Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-29304, and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 456-395. Then, the peeled tangerines thrown in from above are broken by a pressurized water flow jetted from above through a water jet nozzle while horizontally swinging the basket. .

[0003] In these conventional methods,
On the slope of the mortar-shaped dividing basket, in order to release the tangerines after breaking into the water without damaging them, an elastic thread such as rubber or plastic is attached at an appropriate interval, or a piano wire or the like. Stretch the metal elastic wire radially,
The one that is bent in the opposite direction from the end on the side toward the center of the cone and has its end fixed to the lower ring is used. Of these methods, rubber is often used as an elastic thread, and a rubber material having a width of about 5 mm, which is commercially available as a rubber band, is usually stretched between an upper annular ring and a lower fixing member. Use one.

However, when a rubber material is radially stretched over the slanting surface of the mortar-shaped dividing basket, which swings horizontally in the mortar splitting, the mandarin oranges before the mortal split dance due to the elasticity of the rubber. As a result, the jet water flow from above does not hit the target accurately, resulting in inferior splitting efficiency, and the durability of the rubber material is usually 1
It is about a week, and in that case, there is a problem of time uneconomical necessity of renewing the rubber material over a long time. In addition, even when a piano wire or the like is used as the elastic wire, it is difficult to achieve efficient splitting in a short period of time due to low splitting efficiency, which may cause twin moles or damage the moles. It is difficult, and there is a reality that improvement is desired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A dividing basket (indicated by 1 as a whole) to be attached to a mandarin-chopping device according to the present invention.
In FIG. 1 showing a preferred example in a side sectional view and FIG. 2 showing a top view, a hard filament material 2 having a plurality of bulges at fixed intervals is stretched over an upper annular member 11. Locking portion 18 is formed, and an engaging piece 16 for suspending the splitting device is protruded around the locking portion 18. A support 13 that supports the annular member in a bridge state is provided below the annular member, and the lower end portion of the linear member 2 is annularly fixed by a fixing portion 12. The configuration of the fixing portion is, for example, as shown in the partial cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, the bulging portion of the linear body is fitted between the double collars, and as shown in the top view of FIG. The connecting hand portion of the linear body is fitted in the engaging groove formed in the periphery of the flange, and further fixed by a binding tool 19 such as wire through a groove provided in the circumference of the intermediate portion of the upper collar. Preferably. An engaging member 14 having a spiral groove extending downward is extended from the center of the fixing portion 12, and this engaging member is inserted into an engaging hole opened at an intermediate point of the support 13 through a screw 15. Are engaged.

The support member 13 and the engaging member 14 are engaged with each other by a screw 15. By adjusting this screw, the fixing portion 12 slides in the vertical direction, so that the linear body is stretched. It can be adjusted appropriately. In addition, on the upper surface of the fixing portion, a protruding portion 1 having a gentle mountain-shaped tip is formed.
7 is preferably formed. The presence of this protrusion provides proper swinging without fixing the mandarin oranges after peeling to a certain place, and creates a state in which the pressurized water flow from above hits the entire mandarin oranges evenly.
Since the wire material having no elasticity is stretched under the elastic material, the mortarization effect is remarkably excellent.

The most technical feature of the present invention is that a hard wire having a plurality of bulging portions is used as a linear member stretched in an inverted conical shape with an appropriate interval from an annular member above a mortar-shaped dividing basket. The point is that the strip material is used. That is, the material that supports the tangerines after peeling in the separating basket in the conventional moromi device has a technical problem that the moromi must be crushed without damaging the mori, for example, rubber. There is a common general knowledge that it must be made of elastic material, and even when using a piano wire etc., there is a restriction that it must be stretched in an elastic state. However, there was a problem in terms of the effect of mashing. However, according to repeated experiments by the present inventors, as is clear from the results of Examples described later, a hard wire having a plurality of bulging portions is used as the wire material stretched around the dividing basket. It has been found that the use of the strip material enables the chopping work to be accomplished rapidly in a stable state in which no twins are produced without damaging the tangerines.

In the present invention, the hard linear material having a plurality of bulging portions is, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, in terms of the entire structure, a plurality of spherical bodies, or rugby balls or gourds. A flat spherical body is meant to have a shape in which it is connected by a hard linear material, and a linear body in which hollow spherical bodies that are commercially available as a ball chain are connected is exemplified as a preferred embodiment. You can The spherical bodies need only be connected to each other by a linear material, and the linear body may be composed of a single continuous material throughout, but when it is stretched on a dividing basket, it has a moderate deflection. As shown in FIG. 4, the one configured as a connecting hand 21 for connecting the hollow spherical bodies 22, 22 is preferably used in that the hollow spherical bodies 22 are connected to each other.

The size of the bulges and the spacing between the bulges are:
It is appropriately determined according to the length of the linear body to be stretched, the stretching angle of the linear body, and the like, and is not particularly limited, but the stretch length of the linear body is about 8 cm. When the stretching angle is set to about 20 degrees, the size of the bulging portion is about 3 to 6 mm in diameter, preferably about 4 to 5 mm.
And, the interval is about 1 to 4 m as the length of the linear body.
m, preferably about 2 to 3 mm is preferably used.

[0013]

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following examples. Example 1 <Structure of splitting basket> An annular member having an inner diameter of 11.5 cm, an outer diameter of 13.3 cm, and a thickness of 2 mm was formed at regular intervals of 1 mm.
Eight engaging parts are provided, and the diameter of the sphere is 4 m at the engaging parts.
A linear body composed of ball chains having a bulge portion of m and an interval between spheres of 2 mm is engaged, and the other end of the linear body has a diameter of 3 mm.
It was fixed to a disc-shaped fixing member of cm. The length of the linear body was set to 8.5 cm, and the tension angle was set to about 20 degrees.

<Outline of chopping operation> One split basket having the above-mentioned construction was mounted in a water tank of 98 × 65 cm so as to be submerged, and peeled M-sized mandarin oranges were continuously introduced. While oscillating the entire water tank, the upper nozzle was sprayed with water having a water pressure of 0.3 kg / cm ² while rotating at 80 rpm with an eccentric amount of 19 mm. The time until the mashing was completed, the division ratio and the broken ratio were measured. Five experiments were performed under the same conditions, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0015]

Example 2 The same as Example 1 except that the disk-shaped fixing member of the basket used in Example 1 was formed with a conical protrusion having a height of 12 mm and a gentle tip shape on the upper surface. went. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0017]

Comparative Example 1 The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out except that the filament material in Example 1 was replaced with rubber having a width of 5 mm and a thickness of 1 mm and the tension was set to 3.0 kg / cm ² . Table 3 shows the results.

[0019]

Comparative Example 2 The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out except that the wire material in Example 1 was replaced with a piano wire having a thickness of 2 mm and the tension was set to 0.3 kg / cm ² . The results are shown in Table 4.
