Description

Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention provides a method for centrifugal dehydration of cheese that can dehydrate scouring, bleaching or dyed cheese by using a cheese carrier used in the processing process as a rotating body, with the cheese mounted thereon. Regarding equipment.

Cheese-finished yarn (hereinafter simply referred to as cheese) is directly scoured and bleached or dyed, then dried and then supplied to the weaving process. However, after being dehydrated by pressure or wind, it is still exposed to hot air in a dryer for a long time to dry.
The yarn is easily damaged and requires a large amount of power, operating time, thermal energy source for drying (such as heavy oil), and industrial water.

If these cheeses are dehydrated using a well-known centrifugal dehydrator, they are placed in a row in a basket and dehydrated, reducing the water content and increasing the drying efficiency. The basket of the dehydrator is mechanically built into a non-removable state, so the product to be processed (cheese in this case) must be inserted manually, and after the dehydration process, it must be taken out again manually, which requires a lot of work. This method has various problems such as low work efficiency and high construction costs. The object of the present invention is to solve these conventional problems and provide the present dehydrator as a cheese dehydrator that can streamline operations, help save energy, and improve economic efficiency. The present invention provides a centrifugal dehydrator in which a cheese carrier is connected to the end of a rotary drive shaft as a rotary support for the workpiece through a removable engagement mechanism inside the main body of the centrifugal dehydrator, and the central column of the cheese carrier is rotated. The central support has a locking part for lifting at the upper part thereof, and an upper holding part during operation;
and a holding pin is provided at the upper end of each of the cheese loading and holding pestles which are arranged upright in large numbers on the support plate of the cheese carrier, and are rotatable on a vertical shaft that stands upright from the machine base or the main body at the upper part of the main body.

The entire holding punch 16 is moved through the entire holding piece 42 against this repulsive force.
After this condition is satisfied, the center holder 30 supports the upper tapered surface 14'' of the central support 13.

In this way, the carrier 10 loaded with the processed cheese mounted inside the dehydrator main body 1 becomes a rotating body, and as described above, the electric motor M is connected to the shaft 7 by the engagement between the drive shaft 7 and the rotary coupling table 15. The rotational force applied during activation is directly transmitted, and the upper end of the central column 13 is connected to the connecting piece 14'' and the presser disk mounting body 35.
Due to the engagement inside the boss 35', the center holder 3 is securely held and rotated by the centrifugal force generated by this rotation.The cheese A attached to each cheese loading holding village 16 is kept in a stable state all at once. This results in dehydration.

During this dehydration operation, the cover 50' and the main body 1
Since the upper part is covered and a drain plate 8 is attached to the upper periphery of the main body, the machine can be operated without splashing out to the outside, and the dehydrated water is discharged from the drain port provided at the bottom of the main body. In this way, the dehydration work continues, and after the work is completed, remove the upper restraint of the cheese carrier 10 by the center holder 30 and presser disc 40' in the reverse order of the above operations, and then remove the swing arm 26 from the main body. 1. If you move it from the top side to the side, you can move the central column 1 again from inside the opened main body 1.
By attaching a hanging fitting to the connecting piece 14 at the top of the cheese carrier 10 and lifting it to the outside, the cheese carrier 10 loaded with dehydrated cheese can be taken out as it is.

As described above, according to the present invention, the drive shaft and the carrier in the main body of the dehydrator can be used as a rotating body of the dehydrator, so that the carrier carrying the cheese processed in the previous process can be used as a rotating body of the dehydrator. Just by placing the link in the desired position, the adjusted centers will automatically align, and the center holder, which can be freely engaged and detached from the top, and the attached presser disc will allow you to align the center of the carrier and the cheese. This allows each holding punch that holds the load to rotate at a steady state, allowing for rational centrifugal dehydration, which saves labor and improves work efficiency. However, it has extremely great industrial effects, such as being able to dehydrate the processed material without damaging it.

In addition, ``In accordance with the spirit of the present invention, it is not limited to the above embodiments, and for example, a jaw clutch type etc. may be adopted to connect the bottom of the cheese carrier and the drive shaft.'' Regarding other partial changes, please refer to this document. It goes without saying that it falls within the technical scope of the invention.
