Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in an automatic preparation method for seaweed raw materials.
The lower part of the split car is immersed in a bathtub in a mixing room where the water level is maintained at a predetermined level, and the split car rotates to supply a certain ratio of seaweed raw material to a certain amount of water supplied to the bathtub to obtain a predetermined mixed liquid. This is what I did.

In the conventional automatic mixing method, water is poured into the seaweed raw material automatically supplied by a rotating dividing wheel, and the seaweed raw material filled in the dividing wheel is poured down to take out and mix the raw materials. Due to the stickiness of the seaweed raw material, the seaweed raw material filled in between does not fall under its own weight, but falls all at once when water is poured.

For this purpose, the liquid mixture is stored in a large liquid mixture tank installed in a seaweed machine, stirred, and then supplied to the seaweed machine to form a uniform liquid mixture.

The present invention solves these drawbacks and improves the quality of the seaweed by settling fine impurities such as sand and dust adhering to the seaweed raw material to obtain a high-quality liquid mixture. , Examples of the drawings will be described below.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a tank into which seaweed raw material cut by a seaweed cutting machine is placed, and the upper part of a mixing chamber 3 is connected to a hole 2 provided at the bottom of the tank 1.

A shaft 4 is rotatably passed through the bottom of the tank 1, a seaweed scraper 5 is fixed to it, a seaweed breaking plate 6 is placed near the hole 2, one end is fitted loosely into the shaft 4, and the seaweed scraper 5 is fixed to the shaft 4. The other end is fixed to the tank 1 so as to have a slight gap with the moving seaweed scraper 5.

As shown in the figure, the blending chamber 3 consists of a connection part 7 with the tank 1, an arcuate scoop part 8, and a bathtub 9. An overflow port 10 for discharging the blended liquid is bored in the upper part of the bathtub 9, and a gutter 11 is formed in the upper part of the bathtub 9. is installed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the overflow port 10 is provided at a height such that the seaweed raw material sent by the dividing ratio 13 can be submerged in the water in the bathtub 9.

A plurality of partition plates 12 are arranged radially and at equal intervals in the blending chamber 3.
Shaft 1 with division ratio 13 installed inside and fixed division ratio 13
4 is rotatably supported in the mixing chamber 3.

Motion from a rotational drive source such as a crank drive is transmitted to this shaft 14 via a unidirectional rotation mechanism such as a freewheel mechanism, and the division ratio 13 is rotated clockwise at a constant speed.

The illustrated freewheel mechanism has a locking ball 19 of a predetermined size between a rectangular flat surface 16 of a low gear 15 wedged on a shaft 14 and an engagement ring 18 at the tip of a swing arm 17.
is interposed and elastically supported by springs 20.

A crank rod 22 is connected to an actuating piece 21 that is screwed onto a screw punch 20 that is rotatably supported on the swing arm 17.

Turn the handle 23 attached to the screw punch 20 to release the actuating piece 2.
1 to change the amount of swing of the swing arm 17 to control the rotational speed of the division ratio 13.

A push plate 24 is installed inside the connection part 7 of the mixing chamber 3,
A shaft 25 to which a pushing plate 24 is fixed is rotatably supported in the mixing chamber 3, and a crank rod 27 is connected to a rod 26 attached to this shaft 25, so that the pushing plate 24 swings as the crankshaft 28 rotates. and press the seaweed raw material to a division ratio of 13.

The worm 29 attached to the crankshaft 28 and the above-mentioned,
A worm wheel 30, which is wedge-mounted to the shaft 4, is meshed with the shaft 4, and the seaweed scraping rod 5 is rotated.

The crankshaft 28 is then rotated while being decelerated by an appropriate deceleration mechanism 30 that is transmitted by a belt or the like from the electric motor M.

A pump P is rotated by a belt 31 from an electric motor M, pumps up water from a water source (not shown), and supplies water to the mixing chamber 3 from a water pipe 32 opening into the mixing chamber 3.

A cock 33 is provided in the water pipe 32 to adjust the amount of water supplied to the mixing chamber 3.

A branch pipe 34 is provided between the bottom wall of the bathtub 9 in the preparation chamber 3 and the gutter 11.
A cock 35 provided in the branch pipe 34 is always closed.

With this configuration, the seaweed raw material cut by the cutting machine and put into the tank 1 is conveyed to the hole 2 by the rotation of the seaweed scraping rod 5, passes through the connecting part 7, falls into the dividing ratio 13, and is pushed into the pushing plate. 24.

As the dividing ratio 13 rotates, seaweed raw material is filled between the partition plates 12 in the scooping part 8 as if it were being measured in a basin and is transported downward, and when immersed in water in the bathtub 9, it adheres to the dividing ratio 13. The seaweed raw material is rinsed and mixed with the water in the bathtub 9, and as a result, the water in the bathtub 9 becomes a liquid mixture with a predetermined concentration, and the liquid mixture is approximately the same amount as the water supplied from the pump 9. The water is discharged from the overflow port 10 into the gutter 11 in an overflowing state and is replenished to the seaweed machine.

In this way, the rotation speed of the division ratio 13 is adjusted to the handle 23.
By adjusting the amount of water supplied to the bathtub 9 using the cock 33, a liquid mixture with a predetermined concentration can be obtained at all times according to the capacity of the seaweed machine.

After the preparation work is completed, the preparation liquid remaining in the bathtub 9 is discharged by opening the cock 35.

Figures 2 and 3 are examples of ponds with two approximately equal diameters with a division ratio of 1.
3.13 are pivotally supported in parallel to the mixing chamber 3, and each shaft 1
Gears 36 and 36 of the same diameter wedged with 4.14 mesh with each other and rotate in opposite directions.

The partition plates 12 with a division ratio of 13 are made to look between the opposing partition plates 12 as shown in the figure, just like meshing gears.

It goes without saying that a gear with a large tooth depth may be used as the above-mentioned division ratio.

With this structure, the partition plate 12 with a division ratio of 13 feeds the seaweed raw material, and the division ratio itself acts as a pushing plate and a shovel, so that a certain amount of seaweed raw material is filled between the partition plates 12 and transported downward. It will be done.

Inside the bathtub 9, an inner bath 3T made of a perforated plate is provided, forming a double bathtub.

The left and right side walls of the bathtub (outer tank) 9 also serve as the side walls of the inner tank 37 as shown in FIG. P1
The incoming liquid is pumped out.

The large number of holes in the inner tank 37 are small enough that the seaweed raw materials in the liquid mixture do not pass through, allowing only fine dirt such as sand and dust to settle into the outer tank 9.

The water pipe 32 of this embodiment penetrates to the inner tank 37 and is provided on the outside of the division ratio of 13.13 and substantially parallel to the division ratio.

A plurality of water supply ports are opened toward the dividing rate so that water is supplied to the bathtub after being poured into the dividing rate.

In this way, even if floating seaweed raw material gets caught on the 10,000-part partition plate, it will be washed away by the water poured into the part.

A sewage overflow port 39 is provided at the upper part of the outer tank 9 so that a predetermined water level is always maintained.

In order to prevent washing of the seaweed raw material and obtain a uniform liquid mixture, a stirring blade 41 is attached to a shaft 40 supported in the outer tank 9 and rotated at a low speed.

Generally, the water used to prepare seaweed raw materials is 60% per minute.
In large quantities exceeding 1 J ttle, the mixture is a suspension of about 6% seaweed raw material, and the inside of the bathtub 9 is close to running water, so unless the bathtub is particularly large, a uniform mixture is usually achieved even without the use of stirring blades 41. A liquid is obtained.

Reference numeral 42 denotes a sewage drain port provided at the bottom of the bathtub 9, and a sewage discharge cock 43 is always closed, and is opened after the mixing operation is completed to drain the sewage.

The raw seaweed has a slimy consistency and is easily plucked, so the raw seaweed that is packed into a split car and sent will hardly fall under its own weight, but it will be rinsed when soaked in the water of the bathtub. It is mixed.

Therefore, according to this blending method, a homogeneous blended liquid can be obtained continuously and automatically, and the rotational speed of the dividing wheel and the amount of water supplied to the bathtub can be freely adjusted to suit the raw material, such as the place of production of seaweed, the time of collection, and the quality of the seaweed. Seaweed raw materials are automatically mixed under conditions that are optimal for quality, saving labor and making it possible to mass-produce uniform products.
