Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention supports a plurality of rotary pots that rotate around an upright center line a on a machine base, and provides a steam distribution chamber that rotates together with the rotary pots about the same center line a. The same chamber and each rotary pot are connected by piping, each rotary pot is provided with a 5th discharge pipe, a rotary joint is provided in the center of the steam distribution chamber to connect to the steam supply pipe, and each of the above piping and each 5th discharge pipe is provided. An automatic opening/closing valve is installed in each, and the automatic operating mechanism of these automatic opening/closing valves is related to a rotary boiling pot consisting of a valve opening/closing arm and its operation guide, and is used to mass-produce tofu of good quality.

To explain the embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings, the machine 1
An upright shaft 2 is fixed to the rotary shaft 2, and a rotary shaft 3 that rotates around the vertical center line a is supported on the rotary shaft 2 by a bearing 4.
A plurality of (six, five, or eight) trapezoidal rotary hooks 6 are supported adjacent to each other on a rotary frame 5 provided in the rotary frame 5.

A steam distribution chamber 7 is provided on the upper part of the rotation shaft 3, and a rotation joint 8 that rotates around the center line a is provided in the center of the chamber 7. A steam supply pipe 9 is connected to the rotation joint 8.

The rotation joints 8 are piping joints that can be rotatably connected to each other in a sealed state.

Further, this distribution chamber 7 is provided with piping 10 that connects the same chamber 7 and each rotary pot 6.

Each rotary pot 6 is provided with a discharge pipe 11, and each pipe 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 11.
Automatic opening/closing valves 12 and 13 are provided at each of the discharge pipes 11 and 11.

The automatic operation mechanism of this on-off valve 12.13 consists of a valve on-off arm 15 provided on the valve on-off shaft 14 and an operation guide 16.16' fixed to the machine base 1, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 9. ,
In FIG. 4, as the valve surface 17 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow, the arm 15
Guide rollers 18°18 provided at both ends of the guide guide 1
6. Rotate arm 15 90 degrees in contact with valve 12.13
Can be opened and rotated further 90 degrees to open valve 12.13
Close.

In addition, in FIGS. 6 to 9, the arm 15 is formed into a right triangle, and the valve 12 is brought into contact with the guides 16 and 16' in sequence.
13 can be opened and closed.

The rotary pot 6 may be formed by providing a cylinder with a bottom and several partition plates.

In the figure, 19 indicates a storage tank for printing stock, 20 a rotatable printing stock supply gutter, 21 a central axis of rotation of the gutter 20, and 2
2 is a stopper for stopping the rotation of the gutter 20, 23 is an index spring of the gutter 20, and 24 is a press fitting provided on the upper edge of the rotary hook 6 to rotate the supply gutter 20 from the solid line position to the imaginary line position in Figure 3. let

25 is a cooking tank, 26 is a tank transport pump, 27 is a transport pipe thereof, 28 is a drain chamber provided in the steam distribution chamber 7, 2
9 is a drain pipe, 30 is a steam trap provided on the rotating shaft 3, 31 is an annular drainage gutter fixed to the machine base 1, 32 is a drain pipe, 33 is a reduction sprocket provided on the rotating shaft 3, 34 is a drive shaft 35 is a drive sprocket, 36 is a chain wheel that is wound around both sprockets 33 and 34, 37 is a reduction motor,
38 is a transmission bevel gear, 39 is provided at the bottom of the rotary hook 6,
This is a steam ejection pipe connected to the pipe 10.

Therefore, the prime mover 37 is started to rotate the rotary shaft 3 and the rotary pot 6 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIGS. 2 and 3, thereby supplying raw material from the gutter 20 into the rotary pot 6.

The valves 12 and 13 of the rotary pot 6 are automatically closed during raw feeding.

The steam distribution chamber 7 is equipped with a rotating joint 8 for supplying high-temperature steam.
Supply through.

As the rotary pot 6 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow, the gutter 20 supplies raw material to the next rotary pot 6, and the valve 12 of the piping 10
is automatically opened, and steam is supplied into the rotary pot 6 to boil the storage chamber 6'.

This boiling is stopped by the automatic closing of the open valve 12, which is rotated from the third position to the C position in Figures 2 and 3, and at that position, by the automatic opening of the valve 13. The cooked food is discharged from the discharge pipe 11 into the storage tank 25 and further transported to the next process by the pump 26.

After the cooked food is discharged, the valve 13 is automatically closed, and the empty rotary pot 6 is rotated to the positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the same operation as described above is repeated.

Conventional automatic continuous cooking equipment had the drawback that it was difficult to mass-produce high-quality tofu because it could not prevent the raw and cooked tofu from mixing.However, the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, so that the raw and cooked tofu can be mixed. This method has the effect of not only mass-producing tofu cooking pots of extremely good quality by preventing mixing with water and automatic and continuous operation, but also providing a simple boiling pot that does not take up much space.

Further, the rotary pot 6 does not need to be kept airtight, and can reliably prevent communication between the pots 6, allowing extremely safe and smooth boiling, and can be formed into an extremely simple structure. There are no moving parts, which has the advantage of reducing driving force.
