Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention has a water absorbing plate attached to the lower surface of an elevating press plate, and a press table with a water absorbing plate attached to the upper surface opposite to this plate below and intermittently installed on the press table. In a dewatering device for raw seaweed that compresses and dehydrates the raw seaweed that has been transferred into a seaweed cage using a press stand and an elevating press plate, it is particularly useful for attaching a water absorbing plate to the bottom surface of the elevating press plate. Regarding the water absorbing plate mounting tool.

A conventional dewatering device of this type is illustrated in FIG. 1. Reference numeral 1 denotes an elevating press plate, and 11 is a filter 12 whose surface is covered with a filter 12 made of a mesh or a sponge that swallows continuous pores with a small pore size. This is a mounting plate to which a water-absorbing plate 13 that serves the pores is glued. Let me hold you.

Below the elevating press plate 1, a press stand 2 which is fixed or slightly rises and lowers relative to the elevating press plate 1i is set opposite to the press stand 2. Mounting plate 21 to which a water absorbing plate 22 similar to 13 is glued
However, it is held by holding tools 23, 23 provided oppositely to the mounting plate 21.

The elevating press plate 1 and the press table 2 are installed in the middle of a transfer device C that attaches a nori tank a with raw seaweed sheets on its upper surface to a predetermined holding frame (not shown) and transfers it by intermittent operation. , which is installed to sandwich the transfer device C from above and below, and while the bamboo basket A is moving between the lifting press plate 1 and the press table 2, the water absorbing plates 13 and 22 are used to squeeze the fresh seaweed. Dehydrate.

In the device, a water absorption plate 13, a filter 12, a water absorption plate 2
When the 2nd grade expands and absorbs water, small particles, colloidal raw seaweed, etc. enter the continuous pores formed in these, and the pores are clogged by these, so the water absorbing plate 13.2
2. It is necessary to wash the filter 12 frequently, but since the water absorbing plates 13 and 22 are glued to the mounting plates 11 and 2i and cannot be removed, they can only be cleaned from one side, making it difficult to massage or wash them. It could not be cleaned by machine, and the service life of the water-absorbing plate was short due to insufficient cleaning.

Other means of removably attaching the water absorbing plate to the press plate or press table are relatively easy to think of since the water absorbing plate on the press table side does not come into direct contact with the raw seaweed during dewatering, but there are other ways to removably attach the water absorbing plate to the press plate or press stand. When the water-absorbing plates on the sides expand and contract in contact with fresh seaweed, they form a so-called seaweed dreg (a phenomenon in which the seaweed is partially pulled upwards due to the expansion and contraction of the upper water-absorbing plate, sticks out, and remains in that state even after it dries). The surface of the water-absorbing board (the surface that comes into contact with the seaweed)
A filter made of sponge, net, etc. with a large pore size must be placed on the top of the plate, and this filter must be in contact with the bottom surface of the water absorbing plate without sagging downward when the lifting press plate moves up and down. It has been difficult to removably attach the press plate and the water absorption plate to the lower surface of the lifting press plate in a state where they can be easily separated.

As an example, in order to attach the water absorbing plate and filter to the lower surface of the lifting press plate so that they can be easily separated, they must be pressed against the press plate from the lower surface with some kind of member, but the water absorbing This is because the member that presses the plate and the like against the press plate comes into contact with the raw seaweed during the dewatering operation, so there is a risk that the member may deform the raw seaweed or cause seaweed clumps during the dewatering operation.

The purpose of the present invention is to allow the water absorbing plate to be removably attached to the lower surface of the lifting press plate in order to prevent the filter from hanging down when the lifting press plate is raised and lowered, and to remove the water absorbing plate from the lifting press plate. To provide a water-absorbing plate mounting tool which allows a water-absorbing plate and a filter to be separated when removed and washed separately by massaging, etc., and which does not deform nori during dewatering.

The embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 2 and below.
The frame body has a shape and size that can enclose the water absorbing plate 13 (Fig. 3) when viewed from a plane, and in this embodiment, a thin stainless steel plate is bent into a rectangular shape to match the planar shape of the water absorbing plate 13. However, it can also be integrally molded from synthetic resin, etc., or it can also be made from a wooden board.

Holders 4, 4 for holding the frame 3 to the elevating press plate 1 from below are attached and swung at symmetrical positions on the frame 3.

In this embodiment, each holding tool 4 includes an elastic plate 41.41 whose lower end portion is fixed to the side surface of the frame 3;
．． 41 and a metal plate 42 bent into a side hook shape so as to protrude upwardly inside the frame 3.

5 is a rim attached to the lower surface of the frame 3, which is hooked onto a hook 31 cut up on the side of the frame 3, and has a diameter of less than 1 inch.

Metal wire, thread, natural silk thread, etc. are suitably used for this edge body 5, but the diameter is set to 1 mm or less.If the diameter is larger than that, the raw seaweed will be deformed during dehydration as described later. let me,
This is because there is a possibility that this may remain on the sheet nori as a product after drying.

To attach the water absorbing plate 13 to the lifting press plate 1, as illustrated in FIG. Place the other filter 12 and the sponge-like water absorbing plate 13 in which numerous small continuous pores are formed in order, and use the holding tool 4 to hold the frame 3 to the lifting press plate 1 from below as shown in the figure. let

Furthermore, a water absorbing plate 22 similar to the water absorbing plate 13 is removably attached to the upper surface of the lower press stand 2 by appropriate means, but in the example shown in FIG. A frame body 6 is provided with a projecting edge 61 that slightly protrudes inward at the upper edge of the frame body 6, which has a shape and size that can enclose the Frame body 6
It is covered with

As shown in the enlarged view in Figure 4, when the raw seaweed put in the seaweed basket a is being squeezed by the water absorbing plate 13.22, the edge 5 sinks into the raw seaweed, but the edge 5 has a small diameter (less than 1rIr!rL), the edge 5 detaches from the nori as the lifting press plate 1 rises, and no trace of the trailing edge 5 sunk into the nori remains on the surface of the nori after drying. There are no visible marks on the surface of the seaweed.

In the state shown in FIG. 3, if the water absorbing plate 13 and filter 12 become clogged and need to be cleaned, remove the holding tool 4 from the lifting press plate 1 and the water absorbing plate 13 and filter 12 will be removed. Since they are each removed from the press plate 1, they can be massaged and washed separately, and cleaning is carried out sufficiently and efficiently.

This also applies to the lower water absorption plate 22.

In the embodiment described above, the edge body 5 is stretched approximately at right angles to the traveling direction of the seaweed basket a (from right to left in FIG. 3); It may be stretched diagonally as shown in Figure 5.
It can also be implemented by spreading it in a lattice shape as exemplified in FIG.

Furthermore, the holding device 4 is not limited to the one in the embodiment as long as it can hold the frame 3 to the lifting press plate 1 from below, and for example, the holding device 4 can be used to hold the frame 3 to the lifting press plate 1 using an elastic string or band. It may also be attached to a board.

The water absorbing plate attachment device according to the present invention allows the water absorbing plate, filter, etc. to be washed independently by removing the holding device from the lifting press plate as described above, making it possible and easy to wash them. Moreover, it can be cleaned efficiently.

In addition, what supports the water absorption plate and filter is the rim attached to the bottom of the frame, and the rim has a diameter of less than 1,000 yen. It is possible to support water absorption plates, etc. without causing seaweed spots or holes.
