Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a seaweed drying device.

The present invention particularly relates to a drying device for seaweed in automatic continuous seaweed production equipment, in which the circulation conveyor for transporting seaweed cage holders is separated into two stages, upper and lower, and the seaweed cage holders transported by the upper stage conveyor are transferred to the lower stage conveyor. The long drying chamber is made taller instead of shorter by allowing it to be delivered by falling, reducing the area occupied by the entire device, as well as improving the receiving and delivery operations and mechanism of the nori cage holder compared to conventional devices. The aim is to simplify the process and improve the productivity of seaweed.

To explain the details of the embodiment with reference to the drawings, 1 is a drying chamber 2
This is a short and tall housing constituting the drying chamber 2, and inside the housing, that is, the drying chamber 2, there are conveyors 4, 5 for conveying the nori cage holder 3 in an inward direction from the front end opening of the housing.
are arranged in parallel in two stages, upper and lower.

Each of the conveyors 4 and 5 has protrusions 7 provided on both sides of one side of the seaweed cage holder 3 that engage with engagement rods 6 placed on the conveyors 4 and 5 to transport the seaweed cage holder 3. .8 is provided for each required interval.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a seaweed cage guide provided on the upper conveyor 4 from the part a where the seaweed cage holder moves from the upper part to the lower part to the part where the seaweed cage holder moves to the conveyor 5 in the step part, as shown in FIG. It is arranged laterally parallel to the conveyor 4 as shown in FIG.

10 is a part C where the seaweed cage holder 3 of the lower conveyor 5 moves from the upper part to the lower part, similar to the above-mentioned seaweed cage guide 9.
This is a seaweed cage guide disposed between the conveyor 5 and the terminal end d of the conveyor 5.

Reference numeral 11 is associated with an automatic laver sheet forming device 12 and an automatic dewatering device 13 arranged in order in the transport direction along the way, and a device 14 that automatically and continuously peels the seaweed from the dried seaweed cage holder. The conveyor 11 and the upper conveyor 4 are interlocked with each other so that the nori cage holder can automatically transfer the trays.

In the figure, reference numeral 15 indicates a projection for conveying the seaweed cage holder.

Upper and lower conveyors 4 and 5, conveyor 1
1 is composed of a belt or chain suspended around pulleys or sprocket wheels provided at both ends of the shaft, so the meshing relationship between the conveyors 4 and 11 is maintained by the size relationship of the widths of the conveyors 4 and 11. This is to ensure smooth delivery of the seaweed cage holder 3.

Also, as is clear from the figure, the delivery end of the seaweed cage guide 10 provided along the lower side of the conveyor 5 is communicated with the starting end of the seaweed cage guide 16 provided along the lower side of the conveyor 11 and the left vertical side in the figure. Alternatively, the guide 10 is extended along the conveyor 11, and by the action of the nori basin guide 16 and the projections 150 provided on the conveyor 11, the nori basin holder 3 is passed through the automatic peeling device 14, and then transferred to the automatic paper forming device 12 and the automatic dewatering device again. 13.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the seaweed cage holders in which the seaweed leaves have been formed and dehydrated are sequentially delivered to the upper conveyor in the drying chamber from the carry-in side of the conveyor; The product enters the drying chamber, where it undergoes the drying process.

The seaweed cage holder is then guided between the conveyor and the seaweed cage guide and conveyed downward, and when it comes off the edge of the upper seaweed cage guide, the seaweed cage holder falls downward and is transferred to the lower conveyor where it is dried. Further, the seaweed cage holder is sequentially carried toward the exit by the lower seaweed cage guide and the conveyor, and when drying is completed, it is moved to the conveyance side of the conveyor, and the nori is peeled and recovered from the seaweed cage by an automatic peeling device.

By separating the conveyor into upper and lower stages in this way, the drying chamber can be made shorter and taller, reducing the area occupied by the device, and the transport mechanism for the nori cage holder is performed by the conveyor and the nori cage guide. Because it is a conventional nori cage holder, the support mechanism of the conventional nori cage holder is extremely simplified, and the transfer of the nori cage holder from one conveyor to another is easy, which has great practical effects such as improved productivity. .
