Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to an automatic feather dewatering and discharging device, and in particular, a centrifugal blower blade mechanism is integrally disposed on the top of a centrifugal dewatering basket, and the dehydrated feathers are transferred to the centrifugal blower blade. This relates to an automatic feather dehydration/discharge device that automatically discharges feathers using the wind pressure of the mechanism.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the raw material for feathers for duvets is passed through a dust remover to remove dust, then washed in a washer, and the wet down is transferred to a dehydrator for dehydration. The dehydrator is a normal centrifugal dehydrator with a centrifugal rotating cage lined with a net, and after dehydration, the feathers are taken out from the dehydrator into a container and placed in a dryer.

In addition, a kitchen waste processing device that shreds and dewaters kitchen waste has blades attached to the upper part of a dewatering spinner to scrape the kitchen waste, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 55-79053 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 55.
-Disclosed in Publication No. 91953, etc.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the conventional dewatering apparatus, the feathers are put into a container from a washing machine, and the feathers are put from the container into a dehydrator to be dehydrated. After dehydration, it was time consuming to transfer the feathers from the dehydrator to a container and then put them into the dryer.

In addition, in the dehydration discharge device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 55-79053 and Utility Model Application No. 55-91953, etc., the feathers at the bottom of the dehydration spinner are rubbed up by a fixed arm and a rotating arm to the upper edge of the spinner. As the feathers are pushed up, they become lumpy and unusable, and they also become trapped between the spinner's upper blades and the side wall and become shredded, making them difficult to dispose of as waste.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and dehydrates the feathers by putting them directly from the washing machine into the dehydrator, and then automatically discharges and conveys the feathers to the dryer using the blowing pressure of the centrifugal blower blade mechanism. This device was developed with the aim of providing an automatic feather dewatering and discharging device that can be A centrifugal blower blade mechanism is fixed to the upper end of the dehydration basket, and a cover is attached to the upper part of the dehydration tank, and the cover is provided with a feed water pipe having an opening above the rotation axis,
The present invention also constitutes an automatic feather dehydration/discharge device characterized in that a feather discharge tube having an opening is fixed to one side of the cover.

[Effect]

When the feathers are put into the dehydration tank along with the water from the feather water pipe,
The feathers are placed in a centrifugal dehydration cage, and the water falls out. When the rotating shaft is rotated, the centrifugal dehydration basket rotates centrifugally, and water attached to the feathers inside is dehydrated. As the centrifugal dehydration cage rotates, the centrifugal blower blade mechanism at the top sucks airflow from the water pipe and starts centrifugal air blowing from the waste pipe, so the dehydrated feathers fly above the centrifugal dehydration cage due to wind pressure. It can be automatically discharged from the flue by the air current and sent to the dryer.

〔Example〕

Examples of this invention will be described below based on the drawings. The drawings relate to this invention; FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a partial cross section of an automatic feather dewatering and discharging device, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the main part.

The automatic feather dehydration/discharge device 1 has a drive shaft 3 connected to a drive machine (not shown) erected in a dehydration tank 2, and a centrifugal dehydration cage 4 fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 3.

A bottom body 2a is provided on the inner bottom of the dehydration tank 2,
A drain 2b is provided on one side.

The dewatering basket 4 horizontally supports the large frame 4a by disposing a plurality of supports 4c, 4c at predetermined intervals between a large-diameter annular upper frame 4a and a small-diameter flat plate-like lower base 4b. A net 4d is stretched between the lower stand 4b and the lower stand 4b to form an inverted conical centrifugal dewatering basket 4.

Further, eight fan blades 5 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the upper frame 4a.
5 are disposed at predetermined intervals in a centrifugal air blowing pattern to form an upper frame 4.
a and the fan blades 5, 5, . . . constitute a centrifugal blower blade mechanism.

A cover 6 is attached to the top of the dehydration tank 4, and a feeder water pipe 8 having an opening 6a located above the drive shaft 3 is installed on the top of the cover 6, and the tip of the feeder water pipe 8 is provided. The part communicates with a washing machine (not shown).

Further, on one side of the cover 6, a flue pipe 7 is disposed in a communicating manner, and the tip of the flue pipe 7 is connected to a dryer (not shown).

In the above configuration, when the feathers washed by the washing machine are sent to the dehydration tank 2 together with water via the feed water pipe 8, the feathers are accommodated in the centrifugal dehydration basket 4, and the water is discharged downward. When the drive shaft 3 is rotated, the centrifugal dehydration cage 4 is rotated, and the feathers are dehydrated by centrifugal force. When the feathers are sufficiently dehydrated, the fluff expands from the contracted state into branch-like shapes and becomes more swollen. On the other hand, as the centrifugal dewatering basket 4 rotates, the centrifugal blower blade mechanism integrally formed on its upper part starts centrifugal blowing and discharges the airflow sucked from the opening 6a from the exhaust tube 7. Negative pressure is generated above the feathers 4, and the dehydrated and expanded feathers become easier to float, fly, and are discharged from the feather evacuation tube 7 by riding on the air current. If a separate suction operation is performed in the dryer to which the tip of the feather discharge tube 7 is connected, the feathers in the centrifugal dehydration basket 4 can be automatically completely discharged to the dryer.

FIG. 3 is a front sectional view showing another embodiment. The automatic feather dehydration/discharge device 9 has a dehydration tank 11 with a cover 10.
A drive shaft 12 connected to a drive machine (not shown) inside the

According to this embodiment having the above-mentioned structure, the dehydration tank and the centrifugal dehydration basket can be easily cleaned because they have a lid that can be opened and closed. Since the installation port 16 of the flue pipe is arranged at the same height as the fan blade, the feathers that have been dehydrated in the dehydration basket and become lighter are lifted up by the wind pressure and are smoothly sent outward from the flue pipe. There is an effect. Note that this invention is not limited to the above configuration, and the design can be modified as appropriate. For example, the dehydration tank may be provided with a separate hot air blast pipe, or an ion generator or the like may be provided on the top of the dehydration tank.
