Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an apparatus for efficiently dehydrating and drying seaweed nets and seaweed raw algae.

[Prior art]

In the past, various types of dehydration and drying devices have been developed for the above purpose, but since these devices simply utilize centrifugal force, they are unable to sufficiently reduce the water content after dehydration. After dehydration, further drying work was required.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention is an attempt to solve the problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a raw seaweed dehydrator and dryer that can dehydrate and dry raw seaweed using a single device. There is a particular thing.

[Means and actions for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a cylindrical inner rotary cylinder made of a porous material installed in a machine frame so as to be rotatable by a drive device, and a space between the drive device and the machine frame. A raw seaweed dehydration dryer is provided with a shock absorbing spring interposed in the raw seaweed dehydrator, wherein a cylindrical outer fixed cylinder is provided coaxially with the inner rotating cylinder around the inner rotating cylinder, and the outer fixed cylinder An air outlet is provided that extends tangentially from the circumferential surface of the body and opens to the outside of the machine frame, and a plurality of fins are provided on the circumferential surface of the inner rotary cylinder so that their tips are inclined in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation. The present invention is characterized in that a lid body is provided in the axial direction of the inner rotary cylinder and is detachably attached to the machine frame, and further has an air circulation hole for communicating the inside of the inner rotary cylinder with the outside of the machine frame.

When the inner rotating cylinder is rotated by the drive device,
The water content of the stored raw seaweed is dehydrated by centrifugal force, and this dehydrated water is discharged to the outside through the holes in the inner rotating cylinder. In addition, the fins provided on the outer circumferential surface of the inner rotating cylinder function as fan blades for the flow path formed by the outer fixed cylinder, and draw air from the air circulation holes in the lid provided on the machine frame. It is sucked in and discharged to the outside as an air flow passing through the interior of the inner rotary cylinder.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a machine frame with a rectangular cross section, and the machine frame 1 has an opening 2 on its upper surface.
and has an air circulation hole 3 in the opening 2.
is installed. Further, reference numeral 5 denotes an outer fixed cylindrical body attached to the upper part of the machine frame 1, and the cylindrical body 5 has an air outlet 6 in a part of its peripheral wall. Reference numeral 7 denotes an inner rotary cylinder disposed concentrically inside the outer fixed cylinder 5, and the inner rotary cylinder 7 has a large number of dewatering holes 8 on its circumferential surface. It has a raw seaweed inlet 9. Further, the inner rotary cylinder 7 has a plurality of fins 10 attached to its outer peripheral surface at a required circumferential pitch and along the axial direction. Furthermore, the inner rotating cylinder 7
has its bottom connected to the output shaft of a rotary motor 11, and the rotary motor 11 is supported by a base 14 provided at the bottom of the machine frame 1 via a mounting plate 12 and a shock absorbing spring 13.

Note that a cylindrical net 15 made of woven nylon threads may be attached to the inner circumferential surface of the inner rotary cylinder 7 in order to prevent the through holes 8 from being clogged with raw seaweed.

Next, the operation of the raw seaweed dehydrating dryer having the above configuration will be described.

The lid 4 is removed and the raw seaweed is introduced into the inner rotary cylinder 7 through the opening 2 and the raw seaweed inlet 9. Then, when the rotary motor 11 is rotated, the inner rotary cylinder 7
rotates, and the raw seaweed inside the cylinder 7 receives centrifugal force.
Moisture is discharged into the outer fixed cylinder 5 through the through hole 8. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fins 10 also rotate with the rotation of the inner rotary cylinder 7, and the rotation releases the air inside the inner rotary cylinder 7 into the outer fixed cylinder 5. It is possible to dehydrate and dry by moving air. Note that drying can be further promoted by flowing hot air into the inner rotary cylinder body 7 through the air circulation holes 3 from the middle as necessary.

Furthermore, FIG. 3 shows a modified example of the raw seaweed dehydrating dryer having the above-mentioned configuration, in which a guide vane is installed in the opening 2 of the machine frame 1 in place of the lid 4 to make the inflow of air smoother. 16 is installed.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, in this invention, by rotating the inner rotating cylinder, raw seaweed is not only affected by centrifugal force, but also by
Since it is also subjected to the flow force of air, sufficient dehydration and drying can be achieved.
