Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a continuous boiling device for small fish.

There are two types of boiled and dried small fish products: those with small bodies such as chilimenjako, and those with large bodies such as dried sardines.The former, chilimenjako, is produced on average throughout the year. However, the latter, dried sardines, is produced in a relatively short period of time and is seasonally limited, so if the same equipment could be used to perform both boiling processes, it would be extremely useful. However, since the size of the small fish used as the raw material for chili menjako and dried sardines is different, there are differences in the manufacturing process as follows.
This was not possible with conventional equipment.

In other words, the small fish used as the raw material for chili menjako are small, so even if the small fish taken out of the boiling tank are dropped directly onto the top of the mesh belt conveyor, the fish will not be damaged. In the case of small items such as , the items are transported directly into the drying chamber and dropped onto a guided mesh belt conveyor, and then the mesh belt conveyor is passed around the drying chamber for a short period of time. The small fish are dried.

However, if the raw material small fish is dried and large like this one, it will take more than a day and night to dry, so it is placed on a bamboo steamer, etc., and the small fish that has been spread out on the bamboo steamer is It is necessary to place the raw material on a trolley with a multi-stage mounting frame, send it to the drying room, and leave it there for about a day and night to dry it, and also to remove the raw material small fish from the boiling tank. When placing it on top of the bamboo steamer, it cannot be directly dropped onto the bamboo steamer.

This is because, in the case of dried sardines, whose fish bodies are relatively large, if small fish taken out of the boiling tank are allowed to fall onto the bamboo steamer, the raw material fish bodies will inevitably break due to the impact of the fall. This is because they are easily susceptible to other types of damage.

Therefore, the method for removing boiled small fish from the boiling tank is completely different between a continuous boiling device for small fish with small bodies such as chili peppers and a continuous boiling device for small fish with large bodies such as dried sardines. The reality is that there is no conventional continuous boiling device for small fish that can be used for both the production of chilimenjako, which has small fish bodies, and the dried sardine sardine, which has large fish bodies. be.

Therefore, as mentioned above, chilimenjako is produced in small amounts on average almost all year round, but niboshi9's production period is seasonal and is relatively short-lived. In addition, despite the fact that they are produced in large quantities, conventional equipment cannot be used to continuously boil one chili menjako or dried sardine as a continuous boiling equipment for the other. There was a huge diseconomy.

Therefore, in order to eliminate such uneconomical problems, this invention has developed a novel product that can be used freely for both the production of chili menjako, which has a small body, and the production of dried sardines, which has a large body. The purpose is to provide a continuous boiling device for small fish, the gist of which is to form a boiling channel in which a liquid medium flows in a fixed direction on the same horizontal plane, and to A tunnel tank is attached below the boiling tank in which a device for feeding small fish is placed at an appropriate location on the side, passing below the boiling tank and connecting the starting end and the ending end of the horizontal boiling channel. In this tunnel tank, a reflux path is formed to circulate the liquid medium in the boiling tank, and a reflux path is formed from the downstream side of the reflux path outside the tank through the tunnel tank to the outside of the tank on the upstream side of the reflux path. A means for circulating the liquid medium is provided in a suitable position in a series of circulation channels consisting of the boiling channel and the reflux channel; A rail and a steamer transport drive device that acts on the steamer on the guide rail are arranged, and are positioned on the upper side of the circulation path so that the starting end thereof is inclined and submerged into the liquid medium of the circulation flow path. The continuous boiling device for small fish is characterized by being equipped with a device for taking out the materials to be boiled, which is composed of a mesh belt conveyor whose terminal end is raised and guided out of the boiling tank.

Small fish in the liquid medium that is boiled while flowing is reliably guided only to the upper surface of the bamboo steamer 11 by the rubber plate 21 and the rubber plate cover 22, and can be scooped up thereon. ing.

In addition, the lower part B of the boiling channel 6 has a wider width than the upper boiling process part, and the part E between this part and the part B is as follows. In this part B, the small fishes that have flowed through the channel 6, which is formed in a nine-shaped shape with a width expanding toward the end, are spread across the width of the channel 6, which is formed to be wider than the other part. It is designed to be scooped up to the top of Seiro 11.

Next, the extraction device 30 for boiling material disposed on the upper side of the reflux path 8 will be explained.
0 is the guide rail 25 on the upper side of the recirculation path 8.
, 25, its starting end side is slanted and submerged into the liquid medium of the reflux path 8, and its terminal end side rises and is led out of the boiling tank 3. The mesh belt conveyor 31 of the embodiment is constructed of a mesh belt conveyor 31, which has front and rear sprocket wheels 33.33.
4, 34 and this sprocket wheel 33.33.3
4. A pair of endless chains 35, 35 on the left and right that are rotated between 4.34 and 34, a mesh belt 36 that is suspended between the left and right endless chains 35, 35, and chain guide wheels 37, 37, 38, and 38. In order to guide and support the chain between each wheel, the guide rail 39 is fixed to the upper surface of the frame 32 and has a U-shaped cross section.

In addition, 40, 40... is mesh belt conveyor 31

Next, the operation of the continuous boiling device according to the present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment. When boiling small fish with a large body for use in dried sardines using such device 1, the steamer 11 is connected to the reflux path. Outside the tunnel tank 9 on the lower side of 8 (
It is sufficient to supply the material from the left side in FIG. 2 to between the pair of guide rails 25, 25 using manual or mechanical means.

Then, the steamer 11 supplied between the guide rails 25, 25 is sandwiched and guided between the pair of guide rails 25, 25, and the extrusion drive device 2 acts on it.
9 into the tunnel tank 9 from the small fish-free zone on the downstream side of the return channel 8 and above the small fish input position A, and into the liquid medium. , a circulating flow of the liquid medium from the liquid medium in the tank 3 passes through the tunnel tank 9 below the boiling tank 3 and continues to the terminal end 6b of the boiling channel 6 in the small fish presence zone at position B. After crossing it, it touches the heel and is pulled up to the outside of the tank 3 diagonally upward.

Therefore, when boiling small fish with large fish bodies, if the bamboo steamer is fed into the tunnel tank 9 as described above, when the steamer is pulled up diagonally upward from the liquid medium as described above. Then, the small fish that are boiled while flowing along with the liquid medium in the boiling channel 6 onto the steamer 11 are automatically scooped up and taken out of the boiling tank 3. .

In addition, when using such a device 1 to boil small fish for small-sized chili fish, it is necessary to feed the steamer 11 as described above into the tunnel tank 9 constituting the reflux path 8. No, mesh belt conveyor 3
If only the device for taking out small fish consisting of 1 is driven in the direction of the arrow, instead of the steamer 11, it will move from the liquid medium in the tank 3 across the circulating flow of the liquid medium and diagonally upward. The boiled small fish cars are dynamically scooped up by the top of the mesh belt conveyor 31 that travels toward the outside of the boiling tank 3, and are taken out of the boiling tank 3.

In addition, as in the above embodiment, there is a bamboo steamer conveying path 1 on the upper side of the reflux path 8 of the boiling device as a device for taking out small fish.
2 and the small fish removal device 30 consisting of the mesh belt conveyor 31 are arranged vertically and overlappingly, the small fish that have flowed to position B are removed from the bamboo steamer 1.
Since the height of the net is different when scooping onto the net 11a of No. 1 and when scooping onto the mesh belt conveyor 31, the rubber 21 and 22 Either change the clothes to something that matches the height of the person, or make it flexible so that it can fit both.

Next, to explain another embodiment, in the above embodiment, on the upper side of the circulation path 8 of the boiling device, the 25°250 part of the guide rail for the steamer 11 is connected to the boiling tank 3.
In addition, the frame 32 of the small fish removal device 300 consisting of the mesh belt conveyor 31 may be configured to be detachable from the boiling tank 3 (
(Fig. 8), in the embodiment configured in this way, if the size of the small fish to be boiled is large, the guide rail parts 25 and 25 can be attached to the boiling tank 3 (not shown). 11.You can take out small fish that have been boiled on top.
If the small fish are small, the guide rail part 25.25
If instead, the frame 32 of the take-out device 30 is attached to the boiling tank 3 (FIG. 8), the boiled small fish can be taken out onto the mesh belt conveyor 31.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the small fish boiling device according to the present invention, when the small fish are large, the small fish can be placed into the boiling liquid medium at the position A more efficiently. Then, after passing through the tunnel using a rectangular bamboo steamer that can be inserted into the small fish-free zone, it is placed outside the tank at the boiled small fish presence zone at position B at the bottom of the boiling channel. When the bamboo steamer is pulled up, the width of the bamboo steamer almost matches the width of the boiling channel, so while it flows through the boiling channel, the boiled small fish are scooped up onto the bamboo steamer and left as they are. The small fish can be taken out of the tank in a lined state on the bamboo steamer, and there is a flow path at the bottom of the area where the small fish boiled in this way are scooped up, that is, a reflux path, and small fish are input from the reflux path. A small fish-free zone will be formed in the flow path leading to position A, and in this fish-free zone, empty bamboo steamers can be easily transferred from outside the tank to inside the tank. Since the boiling device of the present invention can be inserted into the liquid medium, if the above operation is performed continuously, in other words, the boiling device can be used to scoop up small fish that have been boiled at a certain position in the flow path. Just by touching the heel and pulling up, you can scoop up boiled small fish directly onto the bamboo steamer and place it there.

Therefore, if small fish are boiled and taken out of the tank using the device of this invention, the boiled small fish will be distributed and placed on the bamboo steamer in the liquid medium flowing through the channel. Therefore, the bamboo steamer that has been pulled out can be sent directly to the drying room and the small fish on it can be dried, so even if the dried small fish are large, there will be almost no damage. It is possible to obtain extremely high quality dried small fish products (for example, dried sardines, etc.).

If the small fish is small, it is located on the upper side of the circulation channel, and its starting end is slanted and submerged into the liquid medium of the circulation channel, and its terminal end rises and is guided out of the tank. If the mesh belt conveyor is driven, the boiled small fish can be scooped up onto the mesh belt conveyor at the downstream position B of the boiling channel, and the small fish can be scooped up to the end of the mesh belt conveyor. The boiling device of the present invention can be used as a boiling device for small fish with large bodies such as dried sardines. ,
Moreover, it can be freely switched and used as a boiling device for small fish such as chilifish.

Note that, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the guide rail 25
, 25, and a cleaning device is installed therein, the mesh belt conveyor 31 is driven at the same time when scooping up small fish onto the bamboo steamer. Also, the mesh belt conveyor 31 with a narrow mesh can be used to scoop up scales, fats and oils present in the boiling liquid medium, take them out of the tank, and have the advantage of being able to remove them with a cleaning device. is obtained.
