Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the leakage of liquid as little as possible by closing the opening part of the guide groove hole of a roller chain by means of a lip member which is bendingly formed in an integrated form with each of a roller link plate and a pin link plate, which are positioned between the mounting members for the containers of said roller chain. CONSTITUTION:A container 6 mounting member 5 is bendingly formed in an integrated form with a roller chain 4, on one side of the roller link plate 2 and pin link plate 1 of the roller chain 4, with an appropriate interval being spaced, while lip members 7, 8 are also bendingly formed in an integated form on the sides of the plates 2, 1, which are positioned between the container mounting members 5. Further, a side plate 10 on which a pin 9 is caulkedly held, is provided on both outer sides of the plates 1. That is, the lip members 7, 8 are moved so as to close the opening part of the guide groove hole 17 of the roller chain of a sealed mechanism part, to reduce the leakage of liquid from the opening part as little as possible, thereby, decreasing remarkably the capacity of returning liquid leaked from a high pressure tank.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a conveying roller chain for continuously conveying containers to a high pressure tank or the like.

Conventional 1 food item! to sterilize by high pressure heating.

It is possible to sterilize the processed material while continuously transporting the transport container containing the processed material by circulating it in and out of a pair of roller checks. It is known from the publication No.-117331.

However, conventional conveyor roller chains.

In the sealing mechanism of the high-pressure tank entrance and exit, a large amount of liquid leaks due to the pressure difference from the groove that guides the roller chain, so the driving power of the pump that returns the leaked liquid to the high-pressure tank must be increased, and the When the roller chain comes into contact with the guide slot, the pins and pinned split bottles are severely damaged and worn, resulting in a lack of durability.

The present invention has been made to improve such defects by integrally bending container mounting pieces at appropriate intervals on the sides of the roller link plate and the bottle link plate of the roller chain, and also forming the container mounting pieces integrally at the sides of the roller link plate and the bottle link plate of the roller chain. The main feature is that the bottle link plate is integrally bent with tongues on the sides thereof, and side plates to which the bottle is caulked are provided on both outer surfaces of the bottle link plate.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The outer bin link plate (1) and the inner roller link plate (
Of the roller chain (4) formed by alternately combining the rollers (3) and supporting the rollers (3), there are container attachment pieces (5) on the upper edge sides of every appropriate number of bin link plates (1). are integrally bent, and the container attachment piece (51) of the opposing roller chain (4) is connected to a conveyor container (51) for storing the processed material between them.
6) It is constructed so that it can be suspended.

Further, the container viewing plate (5) is provided with a tongue piece (5) shorter than the container attachment piece (5) on the side of the upper edge of the bottle link plate (1) and the side link plate (2) between the bottle link plates (flul1). 71 (8) are integrally bent and formed, and furthermore, side plates (1o) are crimped at both ends of the bottle (9) on both outer surfaces of each bottle link plate (1).
are provided for each.

The front i convex roller chain (4) is stretched so as to circulate the liquid flowing in and out of the high-pressure tank (ill) containing the liquid and the transport container (6), and is connected to the sealing mechanism part (13).

The conveyor container (6) suspended on the la chain (4) is continuously discharged to the high pressure tank aυ, and is configured so that it can be accessed by a person, and the material to be treated is supplied to the tank (121 The structure is such that the leaked liquid can be returned to the high pressure tank α1) by the pump α mallet.

The tongue pieces (71(8)) are formed so that the tongue pieces (7) are narrower than the tongue pieces (8) so as not to protrude from the respective guide groove holes θD.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the roller chain (41('), 11 suspends the transport container (6), and connects the processing material supply tank (1) to the high pressure tank via the sealing mechanism (131). When moving in and out of θD, the roller chain (4) is guided through the guide groove On and the tongue H

Also, move the transport container (6) so that it slides into contact with both side walls of the guide groove (I7) as much as possible.
It is used to transport.

According to the present invention, the roller link plate and the bottle link plate between the containers and the bottle link plate of the roller chain for conveying the conveying containers are bent into a tongue-like piece, and the tongue piece f'-piercing i is bent. This type of high-pressure tank is designed to reduce leakage of liquid from the opening as much as possible by moving the opening of the roller to the bottom of the opening. The return power of the leaked liquid can be significantly reduced, and the side plate also slides into the guide groove hole to fill that part to minimize the leakage of liquid. It has an excellent feature that can prevent damage and abrasion of the bottle and improve the occurrence of breakdowns and decrease in durability due to bottle removal, etc.
