Description

Food processing device {FOOD PROCESSING DEVICE}

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a food processing apparatus that performs processing such as washing, heating, cooling, thawing, and the like, and conveying an object to be treated.

Conventionally, as an apparatus for washing|cleaning food, the apparatus of the form as shown to the following patent document 1 is mentioned, for example. This accommodates the treatment basket with the upper surface open in the water tank with the upper surface open, and supports the treatment basket in the water tank. Thereafter, a driving device for lifting the processing basket to the outside of the water tank and rotating it so that the open surface of the processing basket is inclined in one direction is installed. In this apparatus, an air blowing device is provided at the bottom of the water tank, and air is blown out therefrom and bubbling, so that the food in the processing basket is washed and the exclusions adhering to the food can be separated.

However, in the apparatus shown in patent document 1, although most of the excluded objects separated using the above-mentioned air blowing apparatus are sent out from the gutter part, a part of waste comes into contact with food again. For this reason, there exists a possibility that an exclusion may adhere to a food product, and washing|cleaning may become inadequate.

On the other hand, the apparatus shown in the following patent document 2 is proposed. Its composition is as follows. A chute is provided in one side edge of the treatment basket, a side opening is formed in the other side edge, and a water dispensing device is installed in a predetermined position of the water tank. A step portion is formed at the bottom of the treatment basket, and the step surface of the step portion is disposed so as to face a water flow generated by the water dispensing device. Further, a fulcrum pin serving as a rotation center at the time of inclining rotation of the processing basket is provided, and a supporting plate is protruded from a position higher than the fulcrum pin. Rotating arms having one end fixed to the drive device are arranged along both end surfaces of the processing basket, fulcrum pins are rotatably connected at a support part near the tip end, and a required vertical distance is formed between the arm tip and the support plate, Exclusions can be efficiently separated from food.

In addition to these, there is also a method of washing food by jetting a water stream from a spray nozzle.

However, the water delivery apparatus shown in patent document 2 is a screw type, and is provided independently in the center of one side wall of a water tank. Since the rotational water flow generated from this water dispensing device inevitably produces bias in the up, down, left, and right directions, if there are too many foods to be washed, the washing may not proceed evenly and there is a fear that the washing effect may be biased. When two screw-type water dispensing devices are mounted side by side and driven so that they rotate in opposite directions, since the water flow of the whole water tank rotates symmetrically left and right, the bias disappears, and this problem is solved. However, when two water dispensing apparatuses are provided, the equipment becomes complicated, maintenance takes time after use, and the time required for food processing operation is substantially increased. Moreover, since an installation cost and an operating cost are required excessively, compared with the food processing apparatus which has one water dispensing apparatus, the cost has risen significantly.

In addition, in the configuration in which the spray nozzle is used for the water delivery device, the piping structure becomes complicated when it is attempted to circulate while suppressing the consumption amount of water. For this reason, garbage, oil, etc. contained in the circulating water easily clogged a nozzle, and it may stick in piping, and there existed a problem in maintainability.

Then, an object of this invention is to eliminate the bias of the process by a water flow with a structure which maintenance after use is easy without increasing the number of mounting of a drive device.

According to the present invention, a treatment basket with an open upper surface is accommodated in a water tank with an open upper surface, the treatment basket is supported in the water tank, and the treatment basket is lifted to the outside of the water tank so that the open surface of the treatment basket is inclined in one direction. In the food processing apparatus provided with a drive device for rotating it so as to

having an outer water tank in contact with the water tank;

In the partition wall dividing the water tank and the outer water tank, a first water flow through which the water flow from the outer water tank can pass is lower than the water level of the water tank at the time of food processing and higher than half of the deepest depth of the water tank. A passage is formed,

In the treatment basket, a second water flow passage through which a water flow from the first water flow passage can be introduced is formed at a position opposite to the first water flow passage when accommodated in the water tank; Water in and out of the

In the external water tank, a rotational water turbine for generating the water flow is arranged so that its rotational axis is horizontally placed along the partition wall, and the upward water flow generated by the rotational water turbine is rectified to the first water flow passage port. By disposing the rectifying part to cover the rotational water wheel, the above-described problem is solved.

The food processing apparatus which concerns on this invention narrows the direction by the said rectification|straightening part, and introduce|transduces the water flow in the tangential direction generated by the said rotation water turbine into the said water tank. For this reason, it is not necessary to set it as the propeller type which added torsion to the stirring blade as a rotation waterwheel, and it can make the shape of the stirring blade (runner) even in the axial direction, and it can prevent the bias|inclination of the water flow which arises from occurring. Moreover, since the force by which the stirring blade of a rotary water turbine rotates can be used as a water flow as it is, a strong water flow can be generated. In addition, if the rectifying part to be covered is dismantled, cleaning of both the rectifying part and the rotational water turbine can be facilitated, so that the maintainability is high compared with the easily clogged piping structure.

The configuration of the rectifying unit may be, for example, in the following form. a front plate covering the partition wall side of the rotation water turbine, a rear panel covering the opposite side thereof; It shall have a throttle part which covers the upper side of the front plate side, and the said cross-section arc-shaped part and the slit-shaped air outlet formed at the end of the said throttle part shall be provided. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently change the direction of the upward water flow and to pass the first water flow passage through the air outlet to be transferred to the treatment basket. In addition, with this shape, the rectifying portion can be attached to the rotation water turbine simply by covering it from above.

As for the above-mentioned rotation water turbine, it is preferable that the arc-shaped blades serving as the stirring blades have a sufficient length in the axial direction facing the horizontal direction so as not to bias the water flow as much as possible, and if the length is about the same as the length between the side walls of the water tank do. In addition, in order to supply the water flow generated by the rotational water turbine to the treatment basket in the water tank without biasing as much as possible, the rectifying unit rectifies the water flow, and the first water flow passage port and the second through which the rectified water flow passes Preferably, all of the water flow passages have a horizontal length substantially equal to the horizontal length of the stirring blade of the rotary water turbine. For this reason, what is necessary is just to make the shape of these openings into a horizontal long slit shape so that it can cover the whole area while maintaining the force of a water flow.

In the above-described rotational water wheel, the shaft portion without runners near both ends is mounted on a sliding bearing to fix the rotational water wheel so that it does not shift in the axial direction. What is necessary is just to make it rotatable by sliding.

It is preferable that the water sent out by the rotating water turbine flows into the rotating water wheel from a plurality of directions other than the direction in which the rectifying unit is dispatched. Specifically, the axial direction both ends, the front-back direction with respect to the said water tank, and the lower side are mentioned, When it flows in from all these directions, it is especially preferable. When the inflow of water is only from both ends in the axial direction, the water may not reach the central portion in the axial direction, and the water flow may be biased. If the water that has entered the rectifying part from the lower side or front and back and is directed upward by the rotational motion of the rotary water wheel, the water flow is less likely to be blocked unnecessarily, and the water pressure is easily maintained. In addition, since water is supplied over the entire axial direction of the rotary water turbine, even when the first water flow passage port and the second water flow passage port are widened as much as possible in the horizontal direction, water can be stably fed over the entire area. can

In the configuration for supplying water from the lower side of the rotary water turbine in this way, for example, a gap is generated between the bottom surface of the outer water tank and the lowermost end of the rotary water wheel, and water falls into this gap, and the rotation A configuration in which water can be supplied by being sucked up by a water wheel is exemplified. When the space from this gap to the upwardly rotating side of the rotary water wheel is opened, it is preferable because water is efficiently supplied to the rotary water wheel. In addition, in this case, instead of opening the front surface of the lower side of the rotary water wheel, a lower plate is installed between the bottom surface and the rotary water wheel, and only the portion that receives the upward water flow is cut, thereby reducing waste caused by the downward water flow. there is.

Further, in the configuration in which water is supplied from before and after the rotational water turbine, a water inlet is formed in the rectifying portion. If the lower side of the rotary water wheel is open below the shaft height and allows inflow from the periphery toward the rotary water wheel, water can be efficiently supplied.

The rotary water wheel is mounted on a sliding bearing with an open upper side attached to a fixing base having the same height as that which creates the gap between the water tank and the bottom surface of the outer water tank, and the sliding surface of the rotary shaft of the rotary water wheel is raised. to lose With this configuration, the external water tank can be easily cleaned and maintained by dismantling the rotary water wheel together with the rectifying unit. In addition, the sliding bearing is fixed on the lower plate, and a fixing hole is drilled in the lower plate so that the fixing hole can be installed from above to penetrate the protruding pile protruding upward from the fixing base. While preventing displacement in the forward, backward, left, and right directions by the fixing hole and the protruding pile, the lower plate can be disassembled after use, so that even the bottom surface of the outer water tank can be easily cleaned.

In addition, in the form of supplying water from both ends in the axial direction of the rotary water turbine, a part of the rectifying unit in the axial direction is left open.

It is preferable that the installation position of the said rotation water turbine is higher than the bottom surfaces of the said processing basket and the said water tank, and it is installed in the position close|similar to the water surface. When the distance from the rotation water wheel to the first water flow passage port is too long, the force of the water flow tends to be attenuated. In addition, when the rectifying part to which the upward water flow hits is directed to the first water flow passage in the horizontal direction by the curved surface part that becomes an arc-shaped cross section, the damping is reduced by bending along the arc. restrained to a minimum.

What is necessary is just to circulate the water supplied by the said rotation water wheel in the whole food processing apparatus by not only supplying from the outside, but receiving the water which overflowed from the said processing basket in the said outer water tank. When the rotation water turbine is operated, a pressure difference occurs and the water level in the treatment basket and the water tank to which water is supplied becomes higher than the water level in the outer water tank. For this reason, water is returned to the outer water tank from the gutter at a height that can be sufficiently washed in the treatment basket.

The capacity of the outer water tank needs to be sufficient to supply water to the rotary water wheel even if the water level in the outer water tank is lowered because water is sucked into the water tank by a water pressure difference when the rotary water wheel is driven. For this reason, when the depth to the bottom surface of the said outer water tank is shallow and the position of the said rotation water turbine is too high, there exists a possibility of causing trouble in water supply. Moreover, there exists a possibility that the volume of an external water tank is too small, and there exists a possibility that similarly interferes with water supply.

On the other hand, it is preferable to provide a mesh portion for filtering out impurities under the gutter overflowing with water from the treatment basket, and arrange so that the water passing through the mesh portion falls to the water receiving side of the rotary turbine. With the progress of the circulating flow of the whole food processing apparatus, the exclusions generated in the whole apparatus can be collected by integrating with the mesh part. What is necessary is just to hang this mesh part on the edge of the wall of an outer water tank, and the edge of the said partition wall, and to expand|deploy a mesh part between them.

As a mechanism for rotating the rotary water tank, a passive disk having a permanent magnet attached to a surface facing the wall surface is attached to one end in the axial direction of the rotary water wheel facing the wall surface of the outer water tank. A slight gap is formed between the passive disk and the wall surface of the outer water tank, and a hole is not drilled in the wall surface of the outer water tank. In addition, a motor is attached to the outside of the outer water tank facing the passive disk across the outer wall of the outer water tank, and a movable disk having a permanent magnet attached to the surface facing the wall surface is also rotated by this motor. attach This movable disk also forms a small gap from the outside to the wall surface, and is provided at a position facing the passive disk with the outer wall interposed therebetween. That is, although the movable disk and the passive disk are attracted to each other, they are attached so as to be rotatable at the place so that they do not approach the other side opposite the wall surface further. When the movable disk is rotated by a motor, the passive disk is rotated by the magnetic force between the permanent magnets, and when the passive disk is rotated, the rotation wheel itself can rotate to generate a water flow. In particular, since a mechanical mechanism is simplified, it is easy to clean, and since a hole is not drilled in a wall surface, it also becomes easy to maintain watertightness.

When the processing is finished, once the rotation of the rotary water wheel is stopped, the processing basket is lifted. This is because, when the second water flow passage port is displaced by lifting the treatment basket, the water flow may collide with the wall surface of the treatment basket and scatter. The processing object is moved from the processing basket to the next step, the processing basket is stored in the water tank as it was, and then the rotary water wheel is operated again.

This food processing apparatus may be used independently and may be used by connecting a plurality of units. When connecting, you may arrange|position so that the place which rotates the said processing basket of one food processing apparatus and discharges a processing object may be the processing basket of another food processing apparatus. In this case, what is necessary is just to connect between each external water tank of adjacent food processing apparatuses or separated food processing apparatuses by a water channel, and just to make this water channel closable by a shutter etc. Accordingly, when performing multi-step processing with a plurality of connected food processing devices, fresh water is supplied to the water tank or the outer water tank on the final treatment side (which becomes the upstream side), so that the final cleaning or final treatment finish quality to improve And, when the rotation water turbine is stopped at the time when the processing in any one unit is finished, the pressure difference between the water tank and the outer water tank is eliminated, the water level is averaged, and the water level of the outer water tank is raised. At this timing, when the shutter of the water channel leading to the food processing apparatus on the processing side (on the downstream side in terms of the flow of water) in the previous stage is opened, water flows into the outer water tank of the food processing apparatus on the downstream side. Moreover, if the rotation water turbine of the downstream food processing apparatus is operating at this time, since the water level of the said downstream outer water tank is falling, it is easy to convey water. Then, when the water has been sufficiently transferred to the outer water tank of the food processing apparatus on the downstream side, the shutter is closed. The downstream food processing apparatus that has received fresh water from the upstream side, if there is a further downstream food processing apparatus, stops the rotary water wheel similarly at the stage at which the processing in that stage is finished, and raises the water level in the outdoor water tank. Afterwards, the shutter is opened to be further connected to the downstream food processing device. By repeating this, it is possible to maintain the purity of the water used in the treatment of a series of apparatuses while turning the water from the upstream side to the downstream side.

In the case where the plurality of outer water tanks of the food processing apparatus are connected by the water passage, the outer water tank may have a sufficient length in the direction in which the treatment baskets are connected to each other so that they can be easily connected by the water passage. . Specifically, what is necessary is just that the said outer water tank turns into not only the part in which the said rotation water turbine is provided, but also one or both sides of the both sides of the said water tank.

In addition, when using a plurality of the food processing apparatus, the water channel may be connected by a separate connection method. Specifically, among a series of three or more food processing apparatuses that continuously process, one or more food processing apparatuses spaced apart from each other are connected with each external water tank by a bypass water channel, so that the bypass water channel is not connected. In the food processing apparatus in the middle of being isolated without being separated, processing with an aqueous solution different from the food processing apparatus before and after can be performed. For example, among three food processing apparatuses arranged in series so that they can be sequentially transferred to the next food processing apparatus after processing, primary cleaning in the first stage, sterilization in the second stage, and rinsing in the third stage, rinse in the third stage The water after performing the primary washing may be fed through the bypass channel to the first stage for performing primary cleaning, and a treatment solution such as hypochlorous acid water or boiling water may be independently used in the second stage.

Since the water flow is fed in a wide range by the rotary aberration, the flow generated in the processing basket is also not biased, and the food to be processed can be processed and washed thoroughly. Moreover, since the said rectification|straightening part and the said rotation water turbine have a structure which can be disassembled, maintenance, such as washing|cleaning, is also easy to do.

As the treatment that can be performed by the food processing apparatus according to the present invention, besides washing the food, for example, seasoning with a chemical, boiling treatment with hot water or the like, and sterilization treatment are mentioned. Also in these processes, it becomes difficult to produce nonuniformity in the finish of the foodstuff to be processed by the water flow from which the bias was eliminated similarly. Moreover, the cooling process by cold water and the thawing process can also be performed.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment of this invention is described with reference to drawings.

The food processing apparatus 11 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is shown in the side sectional drawing of FIG. 1, the top view of FIG. 2, and the front sectional drawing of FIG. The processing basket 12 with the upper surface open is accommodated in the water tank 13 with the upper surface open, and is supported. Moreover, it has the drive apparatus 20 which lifts this processing basket 12 to the outside of the water tank 13 and rotates so that the open surface of this processing basket 12 may incline in one direction, ie, incline rotation.

The processing basket 12 is a basket for washing, warming, or sterilizing the processing target 31 made of various foods, processed foods, or the like. This processing basket 12, like the bottom mesh portion 47, has a bottom surface formed in a mesh shape or has a large number of holes (refer to Fig. 2). Accordingly, water can not only be brought in and out of the processing basket 12 at the time of treatment, but also water can be shut off by pulling it up from the water tank 13 after treatment.

In the processing basket 12 described above, a chute 41 is provided at an end edge 40 of the side that is lowered at the time of inclination thereof. As shown in FIG. 2, this chute 41 has the front-end|tip narrowed. With this chute 41, it becomes easy to move the processing target object 31 in the processing basket 12 to the next process of the adjacent next food processing apparatus 11 etc. The width of the chute 41 on the processing basket 12 side is the width at which the processing object 31 does not overflow to the outside when the processing basket 12 is tilted to move the processing object 31 in the processing basket 12 . What is necessary is just to have, and, as shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable to make the length of the edge 40 equal to the width|variety of the chute 41. As shown in FIG. In addition, the length from the end edge 40 which is the attachment base part with the processing basket 12 of the chute 41 to the tip of the chute 41 is sufficient to send the processing object 31 out of the processing basket 12 . It is necessary to have a length, and when a plurality of food processing apparatuses 11 are connected, it is preferable to have a length that can be sent to the next step such as the adjacent food processing apparatus 11 .

In the processing basket 12 , a fulcrum pin 43 serving as a rotation center during inclination rotation is provided on the outer side of both sides of the processing basket 12 at a position where the weight can be balanced. By supporting the two fulcrum pins 43 , the processing basket 12 can maintain a state with its open surface facing upward. In addition, at a position higher than the fulcrum pins 43 on both sides of the processing basket 12 , the supporting plates 44 are provided to protrude outward. This support plate 44 is used when inclining the processing basket 12 so that it may mention later. It is sufficient if this support plate 44 is provided only in the vicinity of the position where the fulcrum pins 43 on both end surfaces of the processing basket 12 were provided.

The drive device 20 for rotating the processing basket 12 has the following form. A cylinder 25, such as a hydraulic cylinder, is connected to the rotation hook 24, and when this rotation hook 24 is pressed, the rotation shaft 21 is rotated. The rotation shaft 21 is configured to be able to rotate with respect to the bearing 22 fixed to the water tank 13 or the outer water tank 14 . A rotation arm 26 is attached to the vicinity of both ends of this rotation shaft 21. As shown in FIG. The rotation arm 26 is arrange|positioned so that the water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14 may be interposed therebetween so that it may be provided one by one on both sides, respectively. Each rotation arm 26 is fixed with respect to the rotation shaft 21 at its root. On the other hand, a concave support part 27 is provided in the vicinity of the distal end of the pivot arm 26 , and the fulcrum pin 43 is rotatably supported by the support part 27 . Further, the pivot arm 26 has an arm bent portion 28 in which the arm is bent in the middle, not in a straight line. Further, the pivot arm 26 has an arm tip portion 29 that extends further forward beyond the support portion 27 .

In the form shown in FIG. 1, the support part 27 consists of an elongate hole cut diagonally from the upper end side of front-end|tip vicinity of the rotation arm 26. As shown in FIG. Thereby, it becomes easy to insert the fulcrum pin 43 into the rotation arm 26 . Moreover, if the pivot arm 26 is rotatable with respect to the fulcrum pin 43, you may form only the hole which can accommodate only the fulcrum pin 43 and does not connect to the outside. However, in that case, it becomes difficult to dismantle the processing basket 12 and to maintain. In addition, although not shown, in the case of forming an elongated hole cut in from the outside, a circular round portion having a radius of curvature larger than the diameter in the middle of the elongated hole, near the cut inlet end, inside the cut inlet portion can form. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the fulcrum pin 43 from deviating from the pivot arm 26 when the processing basket 12 is inclined.

On the surface of the processing basket 12 on the opposite side to the chute 41 (the surface of the introduction-side edge 49), it is close to the standard water level A when the rotation water turbine 73, which will be described later, is not in operation. A second water flow passage port 42 for introducing a water flow generated from a rotary water wheel 73 to be described later is drilled in the position. The second water flow passage port 42 is slit-shaped, has a horizontal length close to the side walls of the processing basket 12, and may be slightly larger than the outlet 95 of the flow rectifying unit 74 to be described later.

Further, the processing basket 12 is formed with a curved surface portion 48 having an arc-shaped cross section from the bottom surface mesh portion 47 toward the chute 41 . After the treatment on the object 31 is completed, the object 31 can be efficiently dropped toward the chute 41 and the water flow introduced from the second water flow passage port 42 is directed toward the bottom. By efficiently bending the processing target object 31, the effect of efficiently circulating the processing object 31 within the processing basket 12 is exhibited.

A drain port 52 is formed at the bottom of the water tank 13 . Although the valve is closed during use, drainage is possible by appropriately opening the valve after use or when replacing water. In addition, although not shown, in a position higher than the standard water level (A) of the outdoor water tank 14 to be described later, in order to discharge the overflowed amount of water when it exceeds the standard water level (A) by properly supplying water, may be provided with an upper drain port.

The water tank 13 accommodating the processing basket 12 needs to have a shape that can store the processing basket 12 . 1 to 3 , the water tank 13 has a semi-cylindrical shape, and the processing basket 12 has a shape along the inner wall of the water tank 13 .

Moreover, the outer water tank 14 which contact|connects the water tank 13 is provided so that three directions except the side where the chute 41 of the processing basket 12 is located among the outer periphery of the water tank 13 may be surrounded. This external water tank 14 is for recovering the water which overflowed from the processing basket 12 and sending it to the rotating water turbine 73 mentioned later.

In the partition wall 56 between the water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14 located on the opposite side to the chute 41, at a position corresponding to the second water flow passage port 42 of the processing basket 12, similarly A slit-shaped first water flow passage port 55 through which the water flow passes is formed. An outlet 95 of a rectifying unit 74, which will be described later, is inserted therein. The position of the first water flow passage port 55 is lower than the water level B of the water tank 13 at the time of food processing (when the rotary water turbine 73 is rotated), and is half of the deepest depth of the water tank 13 . What is necessary is just a higher position, and it is preferable that it is close to the water surface. This is because it is required to generate a strong water flow near the water surface in order to properly treat the object 31 having a specific gravity lighter than water.

A front gutter 45 for dropping water overflowing from the treatment basket 12 into the outer water tank 14 is provided at the introduction-side end edge 49 on the opposite side to the chute 41 of the treatment basket 12 . This front gutter 45 is put on the front edge part 53 which is the upper end of the partition wall 56 which divides the water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14. As shown in FIG. In addition, on the upper edge of both sides of the treatment basket 12, on the side closer to the front gutter 45 than the support plate 44, a side gutter for dropping water overflowing from the treatment basket 12 to both side sides of the outer water tank 14 ( 46, 46) are installed. These side troughs 46 , 46 are placed on the side edge portions 54 , 54 which are the upper ends of the side partition wall 57 which is the side wall between the water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14 .

The outer water tank 14 includes three side buffers 62 , 62 , which are turned around along the side partition wall 57 of the water tank 13 , and the aberration area 63 along the partition wall 56 with the water tank 13 . Surround the water tank 13 from the room. Among them, the rotation water wheel 73 for generating a water flow in the aberration region 63 in contact with the partition wall 56, and the first water flow passage port 55 and the second water flow passage port 42 for the generated water flow ) is provided with a rectifying unit 74 that faces. The form of this rotation waterwheel 73 and the rectification|straightening part 74 and its installation location is shown in FIG.

First, fixing tables 71 and 71 for raising the ground plane of the rotational water turbine 73 from the bottom are provided in the vicinity of both ends of the aberration area 63 . By this fixing table 71 , the rotation water wheel 73 is disposed so as to have a gap between it and the bottom surface of the aberration area 63 . Through this gap, water flows in from the lower side over the entire axial direction of the rotary water wheel 73 . Each of the fixtures 71, the protruding piles 75 and 75 protruding toward the upper side are installed.

The lower plate 72 is installed so as to span between the fixing bars 71 and 71 described above. Fixing holes 76 are respectively formed in the vicinity of both ends of the lower plate 72, and the lower plate 72 is fixed by inserting the protruding stakes 75 of the fixing base 71 into the fixing holes 76. . At both ends of the lower plate 72, sliding bearings 77 are installed toward the upper side. It consists of a semi-cylindrical receiving part facing upward and a pillar for fixing, and accommodates the rotating shaft 83 of the rotating water turbine 73 sandwiched therebetween.

Further, on the lower side of the lower plate 72 on the partition wall 56 side, a lower baffle plate 78 extending toward the bottom surface of the outer water tank 14 over a length substantially equal to the length in the axial direction of the rotation water turbine 73 . ) is installed. If this downward baffle plate 78 is provided, water will not flow in from the partition wall 56 side to the lower side of the rotation water turbine 73. As shown in FIG. At the same time, the water flow generated by the rotary water wheel 73 does not flow into the partition wall 56 side from the lower side. By that much, furnace water easily flows from the front water intake port 100 of the rectifying part 74 to be described later toward the rotation water wheel 73, and the force of the generated water flow can be stabilized.

Further, the lower plate 72 has a lower plate cutout 79 that is cut and removed on the far side from the partition wall 56 . More specifically, it is preferable that the side farther than the axial center of the rotating shaft 83 accommodated by the sliding bearing 77 is cut, and the plate remains at the side closer to the axial center. The remaining plate suppresses the occurrence of a downward water flow due to the rotation of the rotary water wheel 73, and at the same time, through the lower plate cutout 79, the rotary water wheel 73 from the gap under the fixing table 71. Water flows into the side that rotates upwards, and it is possible to efficiently generate water flow.

The rotary water wheel 73 has a rotation shaft 83 that is at least longer than the horizontal length of the first water flow passage port 55 , and has a runner (stirring blade) that generates a water flow along the rotation shaft 83 . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 , the annular portion 81 radially widened in the vicinity of both ends of the rotation shaft 83 is provided. The annular portion 81 is connected to the rotation shaft 83 by a plurality of arm portions 84 , and the portion where the arm portion 84 is not provided is between the rotation shaft 83 and the annular portion 81 . formed so as to create a gap in the On the axial surface of the annular portion 81 , a plurality of arc-shaped blades 82 extending to the other annular portion 81 and extending to the other annular portion 81 are provided in the circumferential direction, perpendicular to the axis and having an arc-shaped cross section. This becomes a runner. This arc-shaped blade 82 also does not come into direct contact with the rotating shaft 83, but is formed so that a clearance gap may be generated between it and the rotating shaft 83. As shown in FIG. In addition, the arc-shaped concave surface of the arc-shaped blade 82 has an arc-shaped cross-section, which faces the rotational direction of the rotary water turbine 73, and is arranged so that water can be efficiently received and sent out. That is, when the arc blade|wing 82 rotates upward, it arrange|positions so that the concave surface may face the processing basket 12. As shown in FIG.

In addition, the annular part 81 may be provided not only in both ends, but in the middle of an axial direction. By providing the annular portion 81 even in the middle of the axial direction, the stability of the arc-shaped blade 82 is increased. However, even if there are too many annular parts 81, since the force of a water flow falls, what is necessary is just one or two annular parts 81 other than both ends.

In addition, the form of this runner will not be specifically limited if it can generate|occur|produce a water flow efficiently. For example, unlike the embodiment in the drawings, the runner may be extended in the radial direction without generating a gap from the rotating shaft 83 . If it is this form, it is easy to make the rotating force of the rotating shaft 83 into a water flow.

The rotating shaft 83 penetrating the rotational water wheel 73 has a sliding surface sandwiched between the flange portions 85 and 85 provided in the vicinity of both ends with a width that allows the sliding bearing 77 to be sandwiched in the axial direction. 86). This sliding surface 86 is in contact with the above-described sliding bearing 77 . Further, at one end of the rotating shaft 83, a passive disc 87 having a built-in permanent magnet and rotationally driven by an external magnetic force is provided.

From the upper side of the rotary water wheel 73, a rectifying part 74 for controlling the direction of the water flow generated by the rotary water wheel 73 is covered. The rectification|straightening part 74 has the front plate 92 which covers the partition wall 56 side, and the back plate 91 which covers the outer wall 65 side of the rotation water turbine 73. The upper side of the rear plate 91 is formed of an arc-shaped section 93 having an arc-shaped cross section in the axial direction, and is bent toward the front plate 92 side. On the other hand, as will be described later, the front plate 92 has a hole in its lower half or more as the front water intake port 100 . In addition, the upper side of the front plate 92 is bent toward the rear plate 91 side, and the throttle part 94 is formed between the rear plate 91 and the rear plate 91 by folding it back to the partition wall 56 side from the upper side again. is formed This throttle part 94 covers half of the partition wall 56 side among the entire upper side of the rotary water turbine 73 . The curved surface of the throttle part 94 has a shape that does not collide with the rotational water turbine 73, and it is preferable to be as close as possible to the outer periphery of the rotational water turbine 73 from the viewpoint of water flow efficiency. The end of the throttle portion 94 is aligned in the same direction as that of the cross-sectional arc-shaped portion 93, and a transverse slit-shaped outlet 95 is formed therebetween. This air outlet (95) is inserted into the first water flow passage port (55) of the water tank (13). The water flow generated by the rotary water wheel 73 passes through this first water flow passage port 55 through the outlet 95 , and from there to the second water flow passage port 42 of the processing basket 12 . The water current is released.

Above the distal end vicinity of the outlet 95, an upper pressure suppression portion 97, which is pressed against the partition wall 56 of the water tank 13 and serves as a tab for fixing the rectifying portion 74, is provided. In addition, there are holes for passing the rotating shaft 83 through both ends of the rectifying unit 74 in the axial direction, and even from this, a side inlet 96 of a size for sufficiently supplying water to the rotating water turbine 73 is formed. good.

Further, a lower locking portion 98 is provided below the side introduction port 96 to prevent the rectifying portion 74 from shifting in the front direction by hooking it on the lower plate 72 .

In addition, the rectifying part 74 is formed in a range in which a hole for increasing the water supplied to the included rotation water wheel 73 or a cut water intake part can maintain the rectifying function of the rectifying part 74 .

A front water intake port 100 for receiving water from the partition wall 56 side to the rotary water wheel 73 is perforated in the front plate 92 , which is a plate on the water tank 13 side of the rectification unit 74 . The height of the front water intake port 100 extends from slightly above the rotation shaft 83 of the rotation water turbine 73 to the vicinity of the lower end. The lateral width of the front water intake port 100 is substantially equal to the axial length of the arc-shaped blade 82 of the rotary water turbine 73 . Accordingly, water can be received over almost the entire axial direction. On the partition wall 56 side, the rotation of the rotary water wheel 73 faces downward, and even if this side is opened, the advantage of securing the supply amount is greater than weakening the water flow.

On the other hand, on the rear plate 91 , a rear water intake unit 101 for receiving water from the outer wall 65 side to the rotary water wheel 73 is provided in a manner cut out from the lower side. The rear water intake unit 101 includes a central water intake unit 102 provided at the central portion in the axial direction and a lower rear water intake unit 103 provided over the entire axial direction. The central water intake unit 102 cuts in from the lower side to a height near the rotation shaft 83 , and exhibits an effect of assisting the supply of water to the central portion in the axial direction where water is difficult to reach. However, if the central water intake portion 102 is too wide in the axial direction, the water flow in the upward direction tends to diffuse in that portion, so it is preferable to suppress the length in the axial direction. The lower rear water intake section 103 spans almost the entire axial direction, but when it reaches the height of the rotary shaft 83, the upward water flow is diffused without reaching the rectifying section 74. 83), it is desirable to suppress it to a height of about -45 degrees.

By supplying water to the rotary water wheel 73 from the front water intake port 100, the rear water intake portion 101, and the side intake port 96, the water supply can be ensured even when the water wheel is rotated at a sufficiently high speed. In particular, when the object 31 to be treated is heavy and requires a strong water flow, the size of the water intake portion thereof may be increased.

By setting it as such a structure, after use, the rectification|straightening part 74, the rotation water turbine 73, and the lower plate 72 can be disassembled in order, and it can wash|clean easily. In addition, since there is no part made of a tubular shape, it is not easily clogged in the first place. In addition, the fixing base 71 may be completely fixed to a bottom surface, and may be dismountable.

On the other hand, on the outside of the side wall 61 of the outer water tank 14, at a position opposite to the passive disk 87 of the rotary water turbine 73, a permanent magnet attracted to each other by this passive disk 87 and magnetic force is built in. A movable disk 67 to be used and a motor 66 to rotate it are attached. As for the rotation direction of the rotation water turbine 73 by this, the rear plate 91 side is upward, and the front plate 92 side is downward. Since the downward flow is stopped by the uncut portion of the lower plate 72, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an extra water flow. And, the water supplied upward through the lower plate cutout 79 from the gap becomes a strong water flow efficiently by upward rotation of the rotary water turbine 73, and loss is suppressed by the cross-section arc-shaped part 93. By being bent while being sent to the outlet 95 , a strong water current is generated so as to cover the entire area near the water surface of the treatment basket 12 . This water flow hits the curved portion 48 provided under the chute 41 of the processing basket 12 and becomes a downward flow, and is efficiently processed while rotating the processing object 31 within the processing basket 12 . can do it

While the rotation water wheel 73 is rotating, a pressure difference due to the generated water flow occurs, and the water level in the outer water tank 14 decreases, while the water level inside the water tank 13 and the treatment basket 12 increases. In order to suppress the water level difference occurring at this time, it is preferable to secure a certain volume of the outer water tank 14 with respect to the water tank 13, and it is sufficient to secure this by the volume of the side buffer 62 . The water level in the treatment basket 12 rises, and the portion that exceeds the front gutter 45 and the side gutter 46 flows down into the outer water tank 14 , and becomes a water flow again from the rotary water wheel 73 and circulates.

During such circulation, it is desirable to prevent the object to be treated 31 or the exclusions 32 , such as garbage, food scraps, and oils and fats separated from the object 31 , from being drawn into the rotary wheel 73 . Therefore, the front gutter network 35 for receiving the exclusions 32, etc. contained in the water falling from the front gutter 45 to the rectifying part 74 includes the upper pressure suppression part 97 of the rectifying part 74, It is attached between the front locking part 64 which is a step formed in the outer peripheral wall facing this. Moreover, the front edge part 53 which is the upper edge part of the partition wall 56 protrudes toward the outer water tank 14 side. By press-fitting the front gutter network 35 to the lower side of this protruding part, the force lifted up by the water flow of the rectifying part 74 is applied to the protruding part of the front edge part 53 through the front gutter network 35. can be deterred by The enlarged view from the axial direction of this part is shown in FIG.

In addition, on the side of the treatment basket 12, similarly to the front side, a side gutter network 36 for receiving the exclusions 32 contained in water falling from the side gutter 46 to the side buffer 62 is provided on the side wall ( 61 ) and the side edge portion 54 . In addition, in the case where the exclusion material 32 hardly occurs, such as a sterilization process, a heating process, a thawing process, and a cooling process, you may abbreviate|omit the side gutter network 36. However, since the front gutter network 35 also serves as an upper pressing of the rectifying part 74, it is preferable to attach parts of the same shape even when the exclusion 32 does not occur.

The object 31 that can be processed by the food processing apparatus according to the present invention is not particularly limited, and aquatic products such as meat, fish, shellfish and crustaceans, vegetables, grains, fruits, and agricultural products such as legumes, meat and agricultural products, Arbitrary processing target objects, such as intermediate processed goods and food processed goods which were cut, cooked, etc., such as aquatic products, are mentioned.

Examples of the excluded material 32 include oil and fat, hair, lye produced by heating, food waste such as an object to be treated smaller than the standard or pieces thereof, gravel, toilet paper, insects, straw, and the like.

In the food processing apparatus 11 according to the present invention, when an additive to be treated or the like is added during washing, heating, or sterilization, seasoning or processing of the object is further performed at the same time as washing, heating, or sterilization. can be done In addition, at the time of washing|cleaning, a washing process and a heating process or a sterilization process can be performed simultaneously by heating or adding a disinfectant.

In addition, you may attach a cover to the upper part or upper part of the open surface of the water tank 13 as needed, such as the case where the water temperature in a water tank is heat-processed with water near a boiling point.

The basic procedure at the time of using the food processing apparatus 11 which concerns on this invention becomes as follows. First, the object 31 to be treated, such as washing or heating, is placed in the treatment basket 12 housed in the water tank 13 . When the rotary water wheel 73 is rotated, the water in the outer water tank 14 is sucked into the rotary water wheel 73 , passes through the first water flow passage port 55 from the outlet 95 , and the second water flow passage port 42 . It is introduced into the water stream and circulates inside the treatment basket 12 . By this water flow, the object 31 to be treated is subjected to a process such as washing. When the processing of the object 31 has been completed over a certain period of time, the drive device 20 is driven to rotate the pivot arm 26 upward, and the inclined portion 30 at the tip of the pivot arm 26 is initially Until it comes into contact with the support plate 44, the processing basket 12 moves up and down while maintaining the balance, without a rotational movement such that its open surface is inclined in one direction. At this time, since water falls from the bottom mesh part 47 to the water tank 13, the water adhering to the object 31 can be dropped. In addition, by vibrating the rotation arm 26, water can be further shaken and dropped. After that, the processing basket 12 having the pivoting arm 26 and the fulcrum pin 43 connected rotatably is rotated, and in FIG. 1 , the object 31 is moved on the chute 41 to the left in the drawing. fall down When the fall is completed, the rotation arm 26 is restored, and the processing basket 12 is stored in the water tank 13 as it was. Thereafter, similarly, the processing target 31 can be introduced and processing can be continued.

When water becomes contaminated by repeating the treatment, the treatment is performed while supplying water to the water tank 13 or the outer water tank 14 in sequence. When the used water overflows from the outdoor water tank 14 or discharged from the drain port 52 after the end of the treatment, the treatment can be continued while replacing the water.

The food processing apparatus 11 according to the present invention may be used with the rotation water wheel 73 always rotated, and after processing, the processing basket 12 is lifted by the drive device 20 and the processing object is removed from the chute 41 . When taking out (31), you may stop the rotation water turbine (73). In addition, when the rotation water turbine 73 is stopped, the water levels of the outer water tank 14 and the water tank 13 are averaged.

By adjusting the angle and number of runners, such as the arc-shaped blade 82 of the rotary water wheel 73 to be used, and the rotation speed by the motor 66, the processing target 31 is piggybacked on the generated water flow and stirred, The exclusion 32 attached to the object 31 can be separated from the object 31 . In particular, in the food processing apparatus 11 according to the present invention, since the air outlet 95 is near the water surface and the water flow is concentrated near the water surface, a high cleaning effect is obtained for a material having a lighter specific gravity than water and easy to collect near the water surface. perform

On the other hand, when the food processing apparatus 11 which concerns on this invention is used for sterilization or heat processing other than washing|cleaning as a main purpose, embodiment except the front gutter network 35 and the side gutter network 36 may be sufficient. In this case, what is necessary is just to suppress the upper end of the rectification|straightening part 74 directly with the front edge part 53.

When hot water or steam is supplied into the water tank 13 to raise the temperature of the water in the water tank 13 , the object to be treated can be heated to be supplied to the treatment basket 12 in the water tank 13 . The heating treatment refers to a treatment in which heat is applied to the object to be treated through water. Examples of the treatment include cooking, boiling, or blanching the object to be treated. In the case of the heating treatment, the water in the water tank 13 can be stirred, the convection of the water is promoted, the temperature nonuniformity is eliminated, and the object to be treated can be heated uniformly. As a means for supplying hot water in order to increase the temperature in the water tank 13 , a method of directly supplying hot water or steam from a water supply port (not shown) formed in the water tank 13 is exemplified.

In addition, by adding and dissolving or dispersing a disinfectant in the water tank 13 , the object to be treated can be sterilized to be supplied to the treatment basket 12 in the water tank 13 . As this disinfectant|microbicide, sodium hypochlorite, shell calcination calcium, etc. are mentioned. In the case of sterilization, the water in the water tank 13 can be stirred, the convection of water can be promoted, the chance of contact between the object 31 and the disinfectant can be increased more, and the object to be treated can be sterilized more efficiently. can

Although the food processing apparatus which concerns on this invention may be used independently, as shown in FIGS. 6-8, you may use the some food processing apparatus 11 side by side. In this form, after the processing is completed by the first food processing apparatus 11a, the place dropped from the processing basket 12a through the chute 41a becomes the processing basket 12b of the next food processing apparatus 11b. place it Similarly, a drop from the processing basket 12b through the chute 41b becomes the processing basket 12c of the next food processing apparatus 11c. In addition, similarly, each component of the 1st food processing apparatus 11a attaches a subscript "a", and each component of the 2nd food processing apparatus 11b attaches a subscript "b" and demonstrates.

When a plurality of food processing apparatuses 11a, 11b, 11c are connected and used, water channels 200a, 200b ... for connecting the respective external water tanks 14a, 14b, 14c ... are provided, and each If the shutters 201a, 201b, .

The water level and the fluctuation|variation of the water at that time are demonstrated using the form which connected three food processing apparatuses 11a, 11b, 11c as an example, using FIGS. 9(a)-(d). First, in a basic form, rotation water turbines 73a, 73b, and 73c are rotating, and a water level difference is generated between each water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14 . With respect to the standard water level A during non-rotation, the water level B in the water tank 13 during rotation is high and the water level C in the outdoor water tank 14 is low. In addition, the processing target 31 is put into the processing basket 12a of the food processing apparatus 11a serving as the first stage, and the newly supplied water is transferred to the outer water tank 14c of the food processing apparatus 11c as the final stage. introduced (water supply port 51c). This state is (a) of FIG.

When the processing in the food processing apparatus 11a is finished and the processing target object 31 is discharged, if the rotational water wheel 73c is stopped, the water level difference between the inside and the outside of the food processing apparatus 11c is eliminated and equalized. Since additional water is already introduced at this stage, the leveled water level is higher than the standard water level (A) (water level (E)). The height of the bottom of the water channel 200b is located below the elevated water level E, and when the shutter 201b that closes the water channel 200b is opened, the surplus water is discharged into the downstream external water tank of the food processing device 11b. It flows into (14b) (FIG. 9 (b)). At this time, in the food processing apparatus 11b, the rotation water wheel 73b is rotating, and since the water level difference between the inside and outside is generated, the water level C in the outer water tank 14b is low, and water unilaterally flows from the water channel 200b. is brought in When sufficient water has been introduced into the food processing apparatus 11b, the shutter 201b is closed, and the rotary water wheel 73c is restarted to continue processing.

The same thing can be performed also in the food processing apparatus 11b. By the amount of water newly introduced into the food processing apparatus 11b, the internal water level rises as a whole, and when the rotary water wheel 73b is stopped, it is averaged to a water level higher than the standard water level B. In this state, as shown in Fig. 9C, when the shutter 200a of the water channel 200a is opened, the outer water tank 14a of the food processing apparatus 11a is transferred from the outer water tank 14b of the food processing apparatus 11b. water flows in unilaterally. When sufficient water has been introduced into the food processing apparatus 11a, the shutter 201a is closed, and the rotational water wheel 73b is restarted to continue processing. Thereby, since the water which the food processing apparatus 11a has becomes excess, it discharges suitably from the drain port 52a (FIG.9(d)).

By the above procedure, the food processing apparatus 11c used as an upstream can process by cleaner water, and can introduce|transduce used water sequentially into the food processing apparatuses 11b and 11a used as a downstream. By inputting the object 31 from the food processing apparatus 11a, a stepwise cleaning process or the like becomes possible.

In addition, the connection by the water channel 200 is not connected between the adjacent food processing apparatuses 11, but in continuous food processing apparatuses 11a, 11b, 11c... in which three or more units are connected, It is good also as the bypass water channel 202 which connects between one or more spaced food processing apparatuses. Fig. 10 shows a plan view of one embodiment in this form. A shutter 203 is installed in the bypass channel 202 as well. In this form, the food processing devices 11a and 11c continuously use the same water, so that the food processing device 11c performs rinsing and sends the used water through the bypass water channel 202. While primary washing is performed in the food processing device 11a, in the food processing device 11b through which the processing target 31 passes on the way, sterilization is performed with hypochlorous acid water or the like, seasoning is performed with an aqueous seasoning solution, steam is supplied It is possible to interpose a treatment with a different type of liquid, such as a boiling treatment in boiling water by
