Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for quantitatively transporting and quantitatively filling filamentous seaweeds such as mozuku, and more particularly to a method for quantitatively transporting filamentous seaweeds such as mozuku without cutting or damaging them. The present invention relates to a product which can be fixedly filled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, immediately after harvesting from the sea, filamentous seaweeds such as mozuku are transported to a washing machine by a transport device at a primary processing plant in a production area, where they are washed with seawater and visually removed of foreign substances. It is mixed with about percent salt and salted in a salting tank. The salted seaweed such as mozuku is weighed and charged into a 20-liter can by a filling device in an amount of about 18 kg each and shipped to a wholesaler in a consumption area. The wholesaler desalinates and cleans the required amount,
Seasoned with three glasses of vinegar, etc. to make the product.

[0003] In the above-mentioned primary processing plant, as a device for transporting filamentous seaweed such as mozuku, transportation means such as a pump is used. In addition, the device for measuring and filling filamentous seaweeds such as Mozuku arranges a nozzle and a measuring valve on the upper part of the weighing platform of the measuring device,
A pipe from a transportation means such as a pump is connected to the nozzle. In order to measure and fill the cans of fibrous seaweeds such as mozuku into cans of about 18 kilograms in 20-liter cans, the cans placed on the weighing platform of the measuring device are sent out from transportation means such as pumps through nozzles. Supply filamentous seaweed. Then, the metering valve is closed with the set amount in the can to complete the metering and filling.

As the pump of the transportation means, a plunger pump in which a plunger (piston) reciprocates in a cylinder, a slide vane type rotary pump, a modified screw pump, and the like are used.

[0005]

When the filamentous seaweed such as mozuku is transported by the pump of the above-mentioned transportation means, the filamentous seaweed is cut off during the transport operation of the pump. The cut pieces of the mozuku flow out together with the drainage from a mesh such as a wire mesh used in a desalting and washing step in a subsequent step, and the yield is deteriorated. As a method of preventing this cutting action,
It is conceivable that the plunger pump is operated at a low speed by increasing the size of the cylinder and the rotary pump is operated at a low speed by increasing the size of the pump compared to the transport capacity. However, this method has a problem that not only the equipment cost of the transportation means is increased, but also the cut amount of the filamentous seaweed cannot be sufficiently reduced.

Further, in a filling apparatus for quantitatively filling a can or a container with a filamentous seaweed such as mozuku supplied from the transportation means, the transportation means uses a pump in a transportation part of the filamentous seaweed. When the metering valve is half-opened when the metering is completed, the pump discharge side becomes high pressure, and when the closing operation is performed, the pump is destroyed. As countermeasures against this, operations such as switching the rotation speed of the pump to a low speed with an inverter or the like, and stopping the pump when the pump is blocked are performed.

[0007] In the above countermeasures, not only does the operation control of the pump become complicated, but also by repeatedly starting and stopping the pump,
There is a problem that the cutting action of Mozuku is induced and the life of the pump is shortened. In addition, the cutting action of mozuku in the above-mentioned primary processing occurs not only during transportation, but also when filling and weighing salted mozuku into 20-liter cans by about 18 kilograms or filling containers by volume.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a quantitative transport apparatus in which the cutting action of filamentous seaweed is greatly reduced.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a quantitative transport apparatus capable of accurately adjusting the amount of filamentous seaweed discharged from a discharge pipe per hour in the above quantitative transport apparatus.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a quantitative filling device for reducing the cutting action of filamentous seaweed fed from the above quantitative transport device and for accurately filling a container or the like with a predetermined weight of filamentous seaweed. It is in.

Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a quantitative filling device for reducing the cutting action of the filamentous seaweed fed from the above quantitative transport device, and for accurately filling the container with a predetermined volume of the filamentous seaweed. It is in.
