Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (b) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a reversing mechanism for a seaweed cage frame.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, the method used to dry paper-made nori is to circulate a seaweed cage with paper-made nori attached inside a drying chamber, and dry the paper-made nori with hot air blown from below. However, when transporting the seaweed cage inside the drying room, the seaweed cage is transported from the drying room entrance opening to the back of the drying room with the seaweed cage standing upright, and then the seaweed cage is turned over at the back of the drying room and placed upright in the direction of the drying room entrance. It was intended to be transported in its current state, and transported on a two-stage circulation route, upper and lower.

(c) Problems that the invention seeks to solveHowever,
In the two-tier circulation path in the same drying room, the paper-made nori that is placed upright becomes over-dry at the bottom end of the paper-made nori on the outbound path, and the paper-made nori turns over on the right path. The bottom edge of the seaweed is over-dried, and the upper and lower edges of the sheet-made nori that come out of the drying room are over-dried compared to the center of the seaweed, so the color and gloss of the upper and lower edges of the seaweed become dull. The uneven drying of paper-made seaweed causes partial peeling of the seaweed from the seaweed cage, and shrinkage occurs in some parts of the dried seaweed, causing a loss of commercial value. Ta.

In particular, if the lower end of the paper-made seaweed dries quickly on the outbound route, the quickly-drying end of the same seaweed will be reversed and displaced to the upper end on the outbound route, so the moist hot air from below will hit the already dry upper end. There was a drawback that the quick-drying areas mentioned above became damp again and lost their color and luster.

(d) Means for solving the problem In this invention, the cage frames that support the seaweed cages with paper-made seaweed attached are arranged vertically in parallel, and the outgoing path of the -F stage and the right path of the lower stage in the drying chamber are In the drying room configured to circulate and dry the seaweed, the upper and lower stages of the front and rear halves of the TT Bukgondo chain are respectively arranged, and the upper and lower stage inversion delivery Ia grooves are interposed between the upper and lower stages of each chain. In this mechanism, the outer, inner, and lower guide plates, which are interposed between the front and rear chains, support the left and right ear parts of the horizontal crosspieces that protrude from the side edges of the cage frame from below so that they can freely slide back and forth. By rotating the vertically swinging rod which operates in synchronization with the reciprocating mechanism, the frame is moved in the conveying direction, and the frame is transferred between the chains, and the frame is turned upside down. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a reversing mechanism for the nori cage frame.

In this invention, the nori basket is turned upside down on the way to and from the drying room to uniformly dry the paper-made nori. As the sheet-made nori enters the drying chamber entrance, the lower half of the nori dries a little faster than the upper half as it is transported through the drying chamber. Then, the part that dries a little faster will be displaced to the upper half,
At the end of the outbound path, the entire surface of the paper-made nori is dried evenly, and this principle also applies to turning the nori cage upside down midway along the rightward path. This applies to

In addition, by vertically flipping twice in total, once at each halfway point on the round trip, the flipping results are erased, and the vertical position of the seaweed cage at the entrance of the drying room is the same as if there had been no vertical flipping at the midway point. It can be connected to a conventional seaweed cutting mechanism and a seaweed peeling mechanism to form an integrated device from papermaking to peeling.

(f) Effects Therefore, according to the present invention, by inverting the nori cage transferred into the drying chamber, the entire surface of the paper-made nori can be dried evenly and evenly, and the color and luster of the dried nori can be improved. prevents the loss and partial shrinkage of seaweed, improves the quality of seaweed, and
It has the effect of shortening the drying time and increasing drying efficiency, and can be connected to a conventional paper-making mechanism and peeling mechanism to be incorporated into an integrated device for everything from paper-making to peeling of seaweed.
