Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for mixing unsorted citrus canoe into a water tank and sorting out only the canao, which is a raw material for juice, etc. In order to use the granules contained in the soybeans, or soybeans, as raw materials for drinks such as juice, it was necessary to sort out and remove impurities such as the endothelium, suji, and seeds that were mixed in the soybeans. For this reason, in the past, unsorted sandbags were placed on a net conveyor and these impurities were removed by human visual inspection, which required a great deal of personal effort.

The present invention was invented to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional methods, and is to sort unsorted agars of citrus fruits, mainly mandarin oranges, in an aquarium. The water used for this sorting,
When unripe seeds, yesterday's seeds, seeds, etc. contained in unsorted canoes are added to liquid sugar water, water with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius or higher, warm water, hot liquid sugar water, etc., and mixed, the unsorted unsorted The particles will float or settle.

When immature seeds are immersed in the water tank, they have the property of floating and drying in any case because the gravity per volume is light. Saano is a granule with a thick solution inside, and its shape makes it susceptible to buoyancy, so once it floats to the surface, it remains afloat. However, if force is applied to push it into the aquarium, it will settle. The endothelium or stripe is immersed in the process of peeling off the endothelium, so if it is immersed in a water tank, it will settle. Seeds other than the unripe seeds have fruit inside and will settle if soaked in a water tank.

When sorting by using the reaction in the water tank of the above-mentioned unsorted fish, it was not possible to take out only the snails in a single process of sorting using the water tank.

Therefore, by filling a water tank with water or liquid sugar water, etc. to float and remove the unripe seeds, and by the above-mentioned process, the precipitated sacs are removed from warm water, warm liquid sugar water, or underground water at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius. By pouring water into the aquarium and floating and sorting the sandfish,
This is to sort and extract only the raw material for drinks such as juice from unsorted canard.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 refers to an inlet opening at the starting end side of a water tank 3, and unsorted canons 7 are transferred from the inlet 1 to the input tank 5. A water tank 3 is provided. This water tank 3 is provided with a sediment layer 9 over the entire lower part, and a water tank lid 11 over the entire upper part.

A stirring device 13 is provided behind the input tank 5 to mix the liquid in the water tank and the input material. At the rear of this device 13, a plurality of auxiliary plates 17 are provided which are inclined so as to be in contact with the liquid level 15, and are mounted so as to protrude from the aquarium lid 11. The stirring devices 13 are arranged in three rows so as to be perpendicular to the flow of the water tank 3, and a frame 21 each having an electric WA 19 mounted thereon is fixed by a water tank lid 11. Moreover, the rotating shaft 23 of the electric motor 1119 is connected to the stirring disk 27 by fixing a stirring rod 25 extending over the liquid surface 15 of the water tank 3 and submerged in the liquid.

The precipitate layer 9 includes a canopy 31 from which two unripe seeds have been removed;
This is where the endothelium 33, suji 35, and seeds 37 are precipitated. A guide plate 41 for floating and guiding the unripe seeds 29 is provided at the rear of the water tank 3, and a take-out tank 45 communicating with the take-out port 43 is provided on the guide plate 41. Between the lower surface of the sediment layer 9 and the input port 1, a pull-out pipe 51 connected to an on-off valve 49 at an intermediate position is connected to a pull-out port 53 opened at the front, middle, and rear portions of the sediment layer 9, respectively. A communicating transfer device 47 is provided, and the other end of this drawing pipe 51 is inserted into the sorting input port 1-.
It is open to

The sando sorting tank 3- in which yesterday's sorting was carried out is the same as the above-mentioned tank 3.
The structure is almost the same as that of the water tank 3'. As a material, 39 sacs from which unripe seeds 29 have been removed are thrown in. After the canal 31 has been floated by the stirring device 13, it is sufficient to send it as it is from the take-out tank 45 to the take-out port 43.e The auxiliary plate 17 is not necessary. What accumulates in the sediment layer 9 is
These are the endothelium 33 excluding the canopy 31, the suji 35, and the seeds 37, and these are to be discharged through the on-off valve 49-1, the withdrawal pipe 51-1, the withdrawal port 53', and the lower part of the sludge layer 9. It is set up in

In the above configuration, the outer skin of a mandarin orange, a type of citrus fruit, is soaked in warm water and removed, and then the inner skin is soaked in warm water and solution water to be decomposed. This decomposed, unsorted canopy contains a mixture of canopy, seeds, endothelium, suji, etc., and the canopy inside is separated into granules. The unsorted grains made by the above method are sent to the input tank 5 from the input port 1, and from there the unsorted rice cakes are fed to the input tank 5, which is filled with water or liquid sugar water.
It flows out through the liquid level 15 of. Here, first, the unsorted soybeans 7 are stirred into water or liquid sugar water by the stirring rod 25 of the stirring device 13, and the seeds 37, which have a higher specific gravity than the liquid, are
The seaweed 35 and the endothelium 33 begin to precipitate and accumulate in the precipitate layer 9. At this time, the cane 31 submerged in the liquid settles, and the cane 31 and unripe seeds 29 floating on the liquid level 15 flow backward while floating on the liquid level 15. Kono Sanow 31
In order to separate the seeds 29 from the unripe seeds 29, a plurality of auxiliary plates 17 protruding from the tank lid 11 and in contact with the liquid surface 15 are submerged in the liquid by applying the auxiliary plates 17, 6- one after another. It will accumulate in the sediment layer 9. Even if the unripe seeds 29 remaining at the end are submerged in water by the auxiliary plate 17, they float again due to their light specific gravity and pass through the guide plate 41 to the extraction tank 4.
5, the sedimented sacs 39 are sent to the input port 1 from the withdrawal port 53 of the transfer device 47 through the withdrawal pipe 51 having the on-off valve 49. The above-mentioned mushrooms 39 are sent from the input tank into the canopy water tank 3 and are stirred and mixed by the stirring rod 25 of the stirring device 13. Then, the canadian 3 in the stirred canadian 39
1 floats to the liquid surface 15 and is sent to the take-out tank 45, and the canister 31 submerged in the liquid is stirred until all of it floats to the surface. These floating canisters 31 flow down to the take-out tank 45 through the guide plate 41 without settling, and are then collected from the take-out port 43. Seeds 37, seaweed 35, and endodermis 33 of the three types of seeds have a heavy specific gravity, so they sink to the sediment @ 9 while being stirred, and a pull-out port 53 is provided in the sediment layer 9 of the sand sorting water tank 3-. Therefore, if the on-off valve 49- is opened, the water can be discharged from the drawing pipe 51-.

It is possible to carry out each step of sorting using one water tank by carrying out the next step after completing the first step, that is, the unripe sorting. In this case, the liquid in the water tank for the next step, that is, the cell sorting step, must be replaced after replacing it. As a structural feature in the unripe sorting process and the sando sorting process, the auxiliary board in the yesterday's sorting process is no longer required.
If this auxiliary plate can be moved automatically above the liquid level, citrus fruits can be sorted in the same way as with two water tanks.

As can be understood from the explanation of the embodiments above, the gist of the present invention is the method and structure as described in the claims. Large jar production can be performed by selecting only the canoe, which is a raw material for juice etc., from the water tank. In addition, sorting out the unsorted canoes and then sorting out only the yesterday's canoes can be done based on the difference in specific gravity and buoyancy of the materials relative to the liquid in the tank, and is efficient and does not require human labor. .

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be implemented in various ways by making appropriate design changes. For example, the auxiliary plate for an aquarium may be a shower, since spraying water has the same effect. As an alternative to the stirring device, a bubble generating device that utilizes the pressure of a compressor that has a stirring and mixing effect may be used.

Although this is a method and device for sorting in two steps, each step can be reversed to first float and sort the unripe seeds and canopies, and then float and take out only the canopies, allowing the canopies to be sorted. It is something. In addition, although the arrangement in the drawing shows parallel treatment when two tanks are used consecutively, βr4 continuous treatment can also be performed in series or in tandem. In addition to the above, the liquid in the aquarium in each step is water or liquid sugar water to sort out unripe seeds, and warm water, warm liquid sugar water, ground water, etc. at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius to sort out the seeds.9- The best selection can be made in certain cases.
