Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dry product production apparatus for main plant that can efficiently and deliciously dry main plant collected from the mountains.

Traditionally, the mainsprings collected from the mountain are first manually removed from each spring, and the cotton cap that is stuck to the spiral part of each spring is removed.

This task takes more than two hours even for an adult who is accustomed to processing around 50 haiku harvested per adult.

Next, the seeds are stir-fried in boiling water for about 3 minutes, spread out on a mizukiri-gozo, etc., exposed to the sun, pressed and kneaded by hand, and then dried on an oak for 2 to 3 days, but this depends on the weather. Because of the rain,
If it continued for three days, it would lead to spoilage and a decline in quality.

Also, the quality of the mainspring is determined by the degree of twisting and the weather.
For this reason, the work of massaging is so important and hard that it is said that it is impossible to cut corners even during the day, and it is said that there is no time for lunch.

This drying method is commonly known as Akakoshi.

Next, the seeded mainspring is made of raw hardwood with little resin on a fire, a net is placed on top of it, the surface of the mainspring is dried while being stirred on the net, and the dried material is filled into a container.
Place a weight such as a stone on it to push out the moisture inside and dry the surface.

This process is repeated over and over to dry, but this method can cause blisters on the mainspring due to the delicate temperature of the heat and carelessness, or even lead to a blowout of the mainspring. Because of the smoldering smoldering, the work is very hard and can cause damage to the eyes.

This method of producing dried food by smoking is called Aoboshi.

Next, there is a method that is exactly the same as Aoboshi, but it is dried using hot air or warm air without smoke, which is called Midoriboshi.

Green and red dried fruits also have the disadvantage that they are susceptible to pests and must be stored with care.

Aoboshi is smoked, so no pests are attracted to it, and it also has a unique flavor that is unique to smoking.

As mentioned above, there are three main types of traditional spring dry matter methods, but all of them require a great deal of labor.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, and will now be described in detail with reference to an embodiment, the construction of which is shown in the accompanying drawings.

First, the method for producing dried springs will be explained.

While twisting the mainspring 1, the sun, an ultraviolet lamp, and a bonfire 2
In the step of drying the food using hot air, etc., a ventilated processing cylinder 3 capable of introducing hot air and smoke is rotatably provided.

The mainspring 1 is housed in the processing cylinder 3 leaving a floating space 3'.

While rotating the processing cylinder 1 storing the mainspring 1, drying is carried out by red drying, blue drying, or green drying, and at the same time, by rotating the processing cylinder 3, the cotton cap 4 of the mainspring is removed and the mainspring is rolled.

At this time, if the processing cylinder 1 is exposed to the sun while also using hot air, or is rotated while being irradiated with an ultraviolet lamp,
Even at night and in the rain, you can get what is called red dried fish, and the bonfire 2
If you rotate it while passing flame and smoke through it, you will get what is called Aoboshi, and if you rotate it while passing only warm air, you will get something called Midoriboshi.

In this case, the rotational speed of the processing cylinder 3 is such that, as shown in Fig. 3, the mainspring 1 housed in the processing cylinder 3, after reaching the top, moves a little away from the inner wall of the processing cylinder 3 to the bottom of the processing cylinder 3. It may be set at a constant speed such that it falls, but first, the mainspring is rotated for a while at a high speed that is evenly pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the processing cylinder 3 by centrifugal force as shown in Fig. 2, and the water is drained by centrifugal force. After that, the speed is set to medium speed as shown in Fig. 3, and the mainspring 1 is rotated until the amount of the mainspring 1 stored in the mainspring 1 is reduced to approximately half, as shown in Fig. 3, and then the rotation speed is further reduced and the process is carried out as shown in Fig. 4. A good kneading effect can be obtained by transferring the material to the lower part of the body 3, and an even more preferable result can be obtained by drying the material while changing the rotational speed as appropriate.

In the example, it took approximately 4 hours to dry approximately 50 kg of mainspring.

Next, the present manufacturing apparatus will be explained.

A ventilated processing cylinder 3 is installed on a machine frame 5 with its rotating shaft horizontal.

In the drawing, a cylindrical body of wire mesh is formed as the processing cylinder 3, the mesh is made to ventilate, and a support shaft 6 is provided protruding from the center of the left and right end surfaces of the processing cylinder 3, and these left and right support shafts 6 are connected to the machine frame 5. One end of the bearing shaft 6 and the machine frame 5
Output shaft 10 of a transmission 9 installed on a machine board 8 fixed on the side
are connected by a pulley mechanism 11, and the input shaft of the transmission 9 is connected to the output part of the prime mover 12 fixed on the machine board 8, so that the speed of the processing cylinder 3 described above can be changed. Although the processing cylinder 3 shown in FIG. The same applies to the mechanism.

This processing cylinder 3 is equipped with an air blower 13 that generates wind by the rotation of the processing cylinder 3 itself.

In the drawing, as shown in FIG. 1, the wind raising body 13 has long plate-like blades protruding from the outer circumferential surface of the processing cylinder 3 parallel to the rotation axis at appropriate intervals. Wind raising body 1
3 may have any shape, and if an angle material is used to form the processing cylinder 3, the angle material also becomes the wind blowing body 13.

The present invention solves the conventional idea that it is only possible to remove the cotton cap 4 that fits on each one by hand, and since it is configured as described above, the features are as follows. state

First, in the process of drying the mainspring 1 while rolling it under the sun, a bonfire 2, hot air, etc., a ventilated processing cylinder 3 that can introduce hot air and smoke is rotatably provided. The mainspring 1 is stored in the barrel 3 leaving a floating space 3', and the processing barrel 3 is rotated to dry it. is separated and discharged outside the shell, and then rotated over the bonfire 2 etc. to begin drying, but hot air and smoke at a uniform temperature by the air blower 13 are pressed against the inner circumferential surface of the shell by centrifugal force. At the same time, ventilation inside the body is also performed.

As the mainspring 1 continues to rotate, as shown in FIG. 3, the mainspring 1 is thrown around in the floating space 3' in the barrel, so that the tip spiral portions of the mainspring 1 are caught with each other and stretched as shown in FIG.

As this state is repeated and the dryness progresses, the cotton cap 4 that is fitted over the spiral portion comes off.

At this time, the detached cotton hat 4 becomes a cotton ball with a diameter of 5 to 6 rrr II and detaches, but as the drying progresses, it becomes even smaller and most of it is discharged outside the body through the mesh, and the remaining one has a moxa-like shape when dried blue. catches fire and burns out.

In addition, in the case of green drying and blue drying, the cotton cap 4 that falls off can be easily removed by sieving.

At the same time as the cotton hat 4 is being removed, the mainsprings 1 are intertwined with each other and pressed against the inner wall of the body, so that they are also twisted.

This processing cylinder 3 is ventilable and is equipped with an air generator 13 that generates wind by rotation, so when the processing cylinder 3 rotates, wind is generated by the air generator 13, and this wind flows around the outer periphery of the processing cylinder 3. Since the mainspring 1 is not introduced into the processing cylinder through the provided mesh, the mainspring 1 can be dried under good ventilation, so the mainspring 1 can be dried efficiently.

As described above, the present invention improves production efficiency by carrying out all processes required for drying a large amount of mainspring at one time by simply storing and ventilating a large amount of mainspring in a rotating processing cylinder without having to worry about obtaining it. To provide an excellent dry product manufacturing method for mainspring, which is not affected by the weather, can freely select a drying medium, and can easily produce a desired dry product, and an apparatus therefor.
