Description

Detailed Description of the Invention A) Industrial Application Field The present invention is used in the can manufacturing industry to continuously supply cans to a pressure cooker used for sterilizing cans, or to continuously feed cans from a pressure cooker. It relates to a device for discharging water.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, in the sterilization of canned goods using a pressure cooker (retort), a basquerat that can accommodate 200 to 5 oopr of cans is used, which can be continuously produced and received, and a fixed amount of cans is accumulated. Then, as shown in Figure 9 of the drawings, this bath container a is carried into the pressure cooker C with the ah open (&ih is closed and steam is supplied into the pressure cooker C, and the sterilization is completed by heating for a predetermined period of time. Release the steam, open the door, inject cooling water into pressure cooker 1C to cool the cans, then pull basket E out of pressure cooker C and remove the cans inside the basket type. Batch operations are often performed, and this four-quarter operation requires manual labor to load and unload actual cans into the basket type, to load and unload passcate A into pressure cooker C, to open and close door C, to switch between steam and water, and other tasks. It takes time.

When loading and unloading cans into and out of the basketball court, the cans collide with each other, resulting in defective cans.

Since the actual cans are cooled with water in a pressure cooker that is heated by steam, the heat stored in the pressure cooker is wasted, and reheating requires a large amount of heat and takes time, and also requires extra cooling water. I need.

There are other problems.

Therefore, as a measure of continuous sterilization operation, the first drawing
The supply and discharge device for the rotary damper set shown in Figure 0,
A water seal type supply and discharge device as shown in FIG. 11 of the drawings has been developed, and the former has an inlet chamber d and an outlet chamber e of circular cross section above and below a pressure cooker C, as shown in FIG. 10 of the drawings. These inlet chamber d and outlet chamber e accommodate multi-blade dampers f and g that maintain airtightness with the inlet chamber d and outlet chamber e at their outer peripheries, and the rotation of one damper f causes the material to be supplied from the upper opening d'. Either the cans are supplied to the conveyor i etc. in the pressure cooker C in an airtight state, or by the rotation of the other damper g, the cans falling from the conveyor i etc. 25 are kept airtight in the outlet chamber e. The problem of the above-mentioned basket type was solved by supplying and discharging cans continuously, but this rotary damper set had an overhanging damper structure. , and because it would be complicated and large in size, it was designed to be capable of processing 500 juice cans per minute.

The facility costs, including the pressure cooker, range from 100 million yen to 250 million yen.

In the latter case, as shown in drawing @ 11, an inlet/outlet j for the real canister is provided at the bottom of the pressure cooker C, and this inlet/outlet j is connected to one end of a water seal cylinder with a vertical side surface, and the water seal i11 is connected to the inlet/outlet j. Inside the pressure cooker C, go inside the water seal cylinder and enter the pressure cooker C, and after meandering inside the pressure cooker C, suspend the conveyor 1 that flashes inside the M water 13 Ic, and rotate the conveyor 1 up. Then, the canned food supplied at the insertion port m is sent into the pressure cooker C through the sealed water port, and after meandering through this, it is discharged through the sealed water ntl- to the discharge port 0, and in this case also, the airtight state is maintained. Since feeding and discharging of fruit cans is carried out continuously in the above-mentioned Paske)
Although the problem with the formula can be solved, this product also requires a water-sealing tube with a seating area of /jm, so it is large and has the capacity to process 500 juice cans per minute, and it is not possible to use a pressure cooker. Facility costs including 150 million yen to 200 million yen.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The aforementioned rotor I no-damper set and water envelope type solved the problem of the batch-type supply and discharge using a basket by making the supply and discharge continuous, but the facility cost was As mentioned above, it was a superior technology, and there was an opening point where companies with small capital could not introduce it.

Therefore, the present invention provides an apparatus that can be easily introduced even by companies with small capital because canned food is continuously fed and discharged, but the cost of facilities including a pressure cooker is lower than that of a rotary machine.

(-1li!Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides an inlet and an outlet of a real can provided in a pressure cooker, and a tlIII at least an inlet and an outlet at these inlet and outlet fca. A sliding shaft in which seven sets of can storage brackets are arranged side by side in the corresponding part and the part located outside the inlet part and the outlet part, respectively, and the sliding shaft is slidable from side to side. an operating means for alternately positioning the front and rear housing brackets at the inlet and outlet portions and on both sides; and airtightness maintaining means provided on both sides of the inlet and outlet portions to maintain airtightness of the hole in which the sliding shaft slides. This relates to a device itK that continuously supplies and discharges real cans to and from a pot.

(Force acting) The present invention, which is based on the above-mentioned means, has seven sets of real can storage holes, which have sliding shafts extending through the inlet portion, and are positioned outside the entrance portion, and the real cans are transferred from the opening to the winter storage holes. When the sliding shaft is moved toward the other side of the entrance, the center can housing cans is located at the entrance, and the other seven sets of central can storage cans are located at the entrance. Since it is located outside the entrance area, in this state, if the sliding shaft is rotated up by the rotating means and the opening of the container containing the cans is directed downward, the cans inside the container will be sent to the conveyor. Therefore, rotate the rli moving shaft so that the opening faces upward, store the cans in one set of storage pockets located outside the entrance, and after storing, slide the sliding shaft in the opposite direction. When moved, seven sets of storage pockets containing actual cans are located at the entrance,
Since the set of storage containers, ) from which the actual cans were delivered, are located outside the entrance, the sliding shaft is rotated accordingly to send the storage containers (...) onto the conveyor, and then returned and stored. Store the fruit can in Pocket 1 and move it to the entrance, and turn it to h51! If the operation of feeding the cans to the can go conveyor is performed in synchronization with the progress of the conveyor, the continuous supply of actual cans is carried out in an air-tight layer in a continuous manner.

Like this, English can Renji! When the actual cans are supplied, the actual cans are conveyed by the pressure canner conveyor over a predetermined period of time, during which time they are sterilized and reach the outlet.

Therefore, when a preceding sterilized real can falls from the conveyor into a pair of real can storage boxes on the sliding shaft that has passed through the outlet, the storage pocket at the entrance is moved out of the entrance by the sliding shaft and the reciprocating means. As if moving to 1',! 7 vJ and rotate the storage pocket so that the opening faces downward using the rotation transmission means, the actual cans will be ejected from the 7 sets of storage pockets, so at this time, the m movement axis will be rotated so that the opening faces upward. If this is done properly, the storage pocket located inside the entrance will receive the next large can that falls from the conveyor. So, is the storage room empty? The receiver slides the nine sliding shafts in the opposite direction, positions a pair of storage pockets located at the entrance outside the entrance, and ejects the actual cans in this storage pocket by the amount of rotation. If a real can falls from the storage container in 1 and is placed inside the entrance, the sliding and rotating operations of the PII moving shaft can be performed in synchronization with the progress of the conveyor. The continuous discharge of actual cans is also ensured through the airtight layer.
