Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a device for continuously producing dried seaweed, and its purpose is to reduce the installation area of the device and to prevent the seaweed from tearing when peeling the seaweed. be.

With the rise in land prices, there is a need for nori production equipment to be made as small as possible.

Conventional dryers are generally long, so the above requirements were met by a so-called W-type dryer, in which the length of the dryer was halved and the dryer had two stages, upper and lower.

However, with this method, the installation area can be reduced to at most half that of the dryer, and it cannot be expected to reduce the cage conveyance part, which occupies a considerable portion of the installation area.

In addition, in order to keep the length of the nori transportation section as short as possible, a structure is adopted in which the dried nori is immediately passed to the peeling machine, which has the disadvantage that the dried nori has little moisture, which can lead to tears when peeling the nori. Ta.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention extends the cage transport section below the dryer, and provides appropriate moisture to the dried seaweed before it is transferred to the peeling machine.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes an endless cage conveying chain constituting a cage conveying section, which consists of a pair of parallel chains.

The cage conveyance chain 1 is bent and wound around a driving wheel 2 and a plurality of driven wheels 3, and is extended below the dryer A.

The chain 1 also includes shaft portions 4 on the front, rear, left and right sides of the tube holder 4.
A large number of locking pieces 5 are attached at predetermined intervals, and the chain 1 is intermittently rotated in the direction of the arrow by an appropriate drive device.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tube holder 4 is made up of a pair of rod-shaped members, with the shaft portions 4a at both ends and the end rod 6a of the seaweed front 6 inserted in the middle to hold the tube. The holding portion 4b has a streamlined cross section.

The holding mechanism for the seaweed front 6 is arbitrary, and a hook or the like may be used.

Further, the nori mae 6 is usually formed to be long enough to make several sheets of nori a.

The seaweed front 6 may be one using a synthetic resin net.

In order to prevent the tube holder 4 from falling, guide rails T for supporting the shaft portion 4a are provided at necessary portions of the cage conveyance chain 1.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a blade chain of a known dryer A, which consists of a pair of parallel blades, and a number of blades 9 are attached to the chain 8 at predetermined intervals, and the chain is passed between wheels 10° and 10'. It is intermittently rotated in the direction of the arrow in conjunction with the intermittent rotation of the cage conveyance chain 1.

Further, the screen conveyance chain 1 is brought close to the dryer A opening side of the blade chain 8 so as not to interfere with the blade chain 8, and the nori tube 6 is transferred between the screen conveyance chain 1 and the blade chain 78 at this location, that is, the seaweed tube 6 is received and delivered.

Since this transfer mechanism is well known, its explanation will be omitted.

Note that the blade chain 80 and the blades 9 are attached to the shaft portion 4a of the tube holder 4.
It moves around inside the dryer A while pushing or supporting it.

In the case of simply pushing, it is necessary to provide a support guide rail (not shown) inside the dryer A for supporting the shaft portion 4a.

Below the dryer A, the front conveyor chain 1 is extended, and on the lowermost horizontally moving side thereof, in the direction of movement, there is a stripping machine B, a washer C1, a papermaking machine E, and a dewatering machine E. Arrange them sequentially.

The washing machine C is provided as necessary.

Reference numeral 11 indicates water shielding plates provided on both sides of the washing machine C.

As these stripping machine B1 washing machine C1 paper machine and dewatering machine E, conventional ones can be used almost as they are.

For example, the peeling machine B generally separates the primary peeling part and the secondary peeling part, and by pulling the seaweed tube 6 in the front and back direction at the primary peeling part, the dried seaweed a spread on it is removed from both the front and rear ends. Generally, a method is adopted in which the dried seaweed a is preliminarily separated from the edges, and then the dried seaweed a is completely separated from the seaweed tube 6 under vacuum action at the secondary peeling section.

The washing machine C may use a brush roll or a water spray nozzle, the papermaking machine may use a rectangular papermaking frame that moves up and down, and the dewatering machine E may use press dehydration using a sponge plate.

Therefore, the explanation of the structure of each of the above machines B, C, D, and E will be omitted.

Next, a cold air outlet 12 is provided on the upper horizontal reciprocating side of the front conveyance chain 1 .

This cold air outlet 12 is used to apply appropriate moisture to the dried seaweed a on the seaweed tube 6 that has left the dryer A until it is peeled off to the peeling machine B. This allows the peeling machine B to peel the seaweed without tearing the seaweed.

The cold air outlet 12 is provided in the duct 13 so that the cold air evenly hits the entire surface of the dried seaweed a.

Note that 14 is a seaweed transport device of the peeling machine B. In the present invention, since the front conveyance chain 1 extends below the dryer A, the nori a is made into paper onto the nori tube 6 by a paper machine placed on the lowest horizontal forward movement side of the front conveyance chain 1. .

Next, the dried seaweed a is dehydrated by a dehydrator E, then sent to a transfer section of a dryer A, and further received by a blade chain 8 and dried while circulating inside the dryer A.

The nori tubes 6 that have circulated inside the dryer A are transferred to the front conveyor chain 1 again at the transfer section, and while moving on the upper horizontal return side, appropriate moisture is removed by the cold air blown out from the cold air outlet 12. The dried seaweed is given to a.

The dried seaweed a that has been appropriately moistened in this manner is finally sent to the stripping pipe B, where it is separated and taken out from the seaweed tube 6.

As described above, according to the present invention, the front conveyance chain is bent and wound under the dryer, and the stripping machine, paper making machine, and dewatering machine are installed on the lowest horizontal forward movement side in the traveling direction. 1
Since it is arranged in the following manner, the seaweed manufacturing equipment can be installed in the area occupied by the dryer, and if the dryer is made into a so-called W-shape, the installation area can be reduced accordingly. .

In addition, a cold air outlet is provided on the upper reciprocating side of the front conveyance chain, so it is possible to provide the appropriate amount of moisture to the dried seaweed before it is transferred to the peeling machine. The dried seaweed will not tear.
