Description

殺虫及び殺菌装置並びに方法Insecticide and sterilization equipment and methods
 本開示は、殺虫及び殺菌装置並びに方法に関する。 This disclosure relates to insecticidal and sterilizing devices and methods.
 穀物の殺菌処理を行うため、蒸気を用いた殺菌装置が開発されている。 A sterilizer using steam has been developed to sterilize grains.
 例えば、特許文献1には、横型筒状部内の回転軸部の周囲に形成された複数の撹拌羽根を有する過熱蒸気殺菌装置が開示されている。 For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a superheated steam sterilizer having a plurality of stirring blades formed around a rotating shaft portion in a horizontal tubular portion.

 特許文献1に記載の過熱蒸気殺菌装置では、複数の撹拌羽根の配置角度を3つ以上にすることにより、過熱蒸気と穀物との接触ムラの発生を防止する。しかし、過熱蒸気と穀物との物理的な接触回数を増やすことを必要とするため、横型筒状部が大型化し、穀物全体の殺菌のために比較的長時間を要する。 In the superheated steam sterilizer described in Patent Document 1, the occurrence of uneven contact between the superheated steam and the grain is prevented by setting the arrangement angle of the plurality of stirring blades to three or more. However, since it is necessary to increase the number of physical contacts between the superheated steam and the grain, the horizontal tubular portion becomes large and it takes a relatively long time to sterilize the whole grain.

 次に、殺虫及び殺菌装置1を用いて、穀物を殺虫及び殺菌する方法について説明する。 Next, a method of killing and sterilizing grains using the insecticidal and sterilizing device 1 will be described.
 まず、加水部10の筐体11に穀物を投入し、筐体11の内部に突出する第1ノズル18の一端部から、タンク部17に貯留されている水を穀物に向けて噴射する。このとき穀物に噴射される、穀物の質量に対する水の質量は、5質量%以上10質量%以下であることが好ましい。 First, the grain is put into the housing 11 of the water addition portion 10, and the water stored in the tank portion 17 is sprayed toward the grain from one end of the first nozzle 18 protruding inside the housing 11. At this time, the mass of water sprayed on the grain with respect to the mass of the grain is preferably 5% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less.
 また、このとき、穀物に効率的に水を噴射するために、加水部10の内部を落下移動している穀物に対して、予め規定した所定の量の水を噴射する。このような穀物に水を噴射する噴射工程により、穀物の表面全体に、加熱部19で効率的に殺虫及び殺菌するための水の層が形成される。 Further, at this time, in order to efficiently spray water on the grain, a predetermined amount of water specified in advance is sprayed on the grain falling and moving inside the water addition portion 10. By the injection step of injecting water onto the grain, a layer of water for efficiently killing and sterilizing the insect is formed on the entire surface of the grain by the heating unit 19.
 加水部10で水を噴射された穀物は、管状部15を介して加熱部19に移動する。加熱部19に移動した穀物は第1回転部材21の回転に伴い、第1筒状部20の一端部側から他端部側に向かって移動する。加熱部19を穀物が移動する際、噴射部22は、所定の温度に加熱された蒸気を第1筒状部20の内部空間に噴射する。このような加熱工程により、加水部10において穀物に付与された水の少なくとも一部に対して、加熱部19で蒸気を付与させることができ、穀物に付与された水の少なくとも一部を加熱し、効率よく穀物の殺虫及び殺菌を行うことができる。また、第1回転部材21が第1螺旋状部24を有することにより、穀物の加熱と、穀物の乾燥部30までの搬送と、を効率的に行わせることができる。 The grain sprayed with water in the water addition portion 10 moves to the heating portion 19 via the tubular portion 15. The grain that has moved to the heating unit 19 moves from one end side to the other end side of the first tubular portion 20 as the first rotating member 21 rotates. When the grain moves through the heating unit 19, the injection unit 22 injects steam heated to a predetermined temperature into the internal space of the first tubular portion 20. By such a heating step, steam can be applied to at least a part of the water given to the grain in the water addition part 10 by the heating part 19, and at least a part of the water given to the grain is heated by the heating part 19. , It is possible to efficiently kill and sterilize grains. Further, since the first rotating member 21 has the first spiral portion 24, it is possible to efficiently heat the grain and transport the grain to the drying portion 30.
 加熱部19で蒸気を噴射された穀物は、加熱部19に接続する乾燥部30に搬送される。乾燥部30に移動した穀物は第2回転部材27の回転に伴い、第2筒状部26の一端部側から他端部側に向かって移動する。乾燥部30を穀物が移動する際、送風部28は、所定の温度に加熱された風を加熱部19から搬送される穀物、水及び蒸気の少なくとも1つに送風する。このような送風工程により、水及び蒸気の少なくとも1つを穀物から分離させることができ、穀物に乾燥処理を施すことができる。また、第2回転部材27が第2螺旋状部32を有することにより、穀物の乾燥と、搬出部40までの搬送と、を効率的に行わせることができる。 The grain sprayed with steam in the heating unit 19 is conveyed to the drying unit 30 connected to the heating unit 19. The grain that has moved to the drying portion 30 moves from one end side to the other end side of the second tubular portion 26 as the second rotating member 27 rotates. When the grain moves through the drying section 30, the blowing section 28 blows the air heated to a predetermined temperature to at least one of the grain, water, and steam conveyed from the heating section 19. By such a blowing step, at least one of water and steam can be separated from the grain, and the grain can be dried. Further, since the second rotating member 27 has the second spiral portion 32, the grain can be efficiently dried and transported to the carry-out portion 40.
 また、第2筒状部26の下部に設けられた異物受容部29には、穀物の乾燥と、搬出部40までの搬送と、がされることに伴って生じる異物が第2筒状部26のスリットを通過して落下し、異物は殺虫及び殺菌装置1の外部に適宜搬出される。 Further, in the foreign matter receiving portion 29 provided at the lower part of the second tubular portion 26, the foreign matter generated as a result of the drying of the grain and the transport to the carry-out portion 40 is carried out in the second tubular portion 26. It falls through the slit of the above, and the foreign matter is appropriately carried out to the outside of the insecticidal and sterilizing device 1.
 乾燥処理を施された穀物は、第2筒状部26の搬出部40から搬出され、殺虫及び殺菌処理が終了する。 The dried grain is carried out from the carrying-out part 40 of the second tubular part 26, and the insecticidal and sterilizing treatment is completed.
 殺虫及び殺菌装置1が、実施の形態2で説明した脱水部33を有する場合には、
加熱部19で蒸気を噴射された穀物は、加熱部19に接続する脱水部33に搬送される。脱水部33に移動した穀物は第3回転部材36の回転に伴い、小筐体34及び大筐体35の内部を、上部から下部に向かって移動する。脱水部33を穀物が移動する際、第3回転部材36の回動により、水及び蒸気の少なくとも1つが穀物から分離する。穀物から分離した水及び蒸気の少なくとも1つは、排出部から殺虫及び殺菌装置1の外部に排出される。また、水及び蒸気の少なくとも1つを分離された穀物は、第3回転部材36により、乾燥部30に搬送される。
When the insecticidal and sterilizing device 1 has the dehydrating unit 33 described in the second embodiment,
The grain sprayed with steam in the heating unit 19 is conveyed to the dehydration unit 33 connected to the heating unit 19. The grain that has moved to the dehydration section 33 moves from the upper part to the lower part inside the small housing 34 and the large housing 35 as the third rotating member 36 rotates. When the grain moves through the dehydration section 33, the rotation of the third rotating member 36 separates at least one of water and steam from the grain. At least one of the water and steam separated from the grain is discharged from the discharge part to the outside of the insecticidal and sterilizing device 1. Further, the grain from which at least one of water and steam is separated is conveyed to the drying unit 30 by the third rotating member 36.
 そして、乾燥処理を施された穀物は、第2筒状部26の搬出部40から搬出され、殺虫及び殺菌処理が終了する。 Then, the dried grain is carried out from the carrying-out part 40 of the second tubular part 26, and the insecticidal and sterilizing treatment is completed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, instead of the first spiral portion 24 and the second spiral portion 32, or a part of the first spiral portion 24 and the second spiral portion 32 is a plurality of plate-shaped portions. It may have a blade portion 41.
 羽根部41が、棒状部材からその円周方向に突出した形状で設けられた場合には、その突出した箇所に対向又は略対向する箇所からも、棒状部材からその円周方向に羽根部41が同様に突出した形状で設けられ、一対の羽根ユニットを形成してもよい。このとき、一対の羽根ユニットは、棒状部材の延在方向に等間隔に設けられていてもよい。 When the blade portion 41 is provided in a shape protruding from the rod-shaped member in the circumferential direction, the blade portion 41 is provided in the circumferential direction from the rod-shaped member even from a portion facing or substantially facing the protruding portion. Similarly, it may be provided in a protruding shape to form a pair of blade units. At this time, the pair of blade units may be provided at equal intervals in the extending direction of the rod-shaped member.
 また、棒状部材の軸方向と、羽根部41の面方向と、は水平方向で一致又は略一致していることが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable that the axial direction of the rod-shaped member and the surface direction of the blade portion 41 coincide with or substantially coincide with each other in the horizontal direction.
 また、棒状部材の延在方向に設けられた一対の羽根ユニットと一対の羽根ユニットの間には、これら一対の羽根ユニットと同形状又は略同形状の一対の羽根ユニットが、例えば90°の回転対称に設けられていてもよい。 Further, between the pair of blade units provided in the extending direction of the rod-shaped member and the pair of blade units, a pair of blade units having the same shape or substantially the same shape as the pair of blade units rotates, for example, by 90 °. It may be provided symmetrically.
 また、本実施の形態では、第2筒状部26に複数のスリットが設けられている形態を例示して説明したが、充分な乾燥機能を奏するのであれば、スリットの数は任意である。 Further, in the present embodiment, the embodiment in which a plurality of slits are provided in the second tubular portion 26 has been described as an example, but the number of slits is arbitrary as long as it has a sufficient drying function.
 また、異物受容部29の内部に仕切板42を設けることにより、異物受容部29の内部空間を複数の空間に区画してもよい。このとき、仕切板42は、第2筒状部26の長手軸に垂直方向に設けられる。これにより、仕切板42は、異物受容部29の内部空間を、殺虫及び殺菌装置1の延在方向に区画できる。そのため、区画された内部空間ごとに、例えば温度、風量などの乾燥条件を変更することができる。例えば、異物受容部29の内部空間を2つの空間に区画する場合には、第2筒状部26の一端部側の異物受容部29の内部空間には、比較的温度が高く、かつ、多量の風を送風することができる。一方で、第2筒状部26の他端部側の異物受容部29の内部空間には、比較的温度が低く、かつ、少量の風を送風することができる。 Further, the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 may be divided into a plurality of spaces by providing the partition plate 42 inside the foreign matter receiving portion 29. At this time, the partition plate 42 is provided in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second tubular portion 26. As a result, the partition plate 42 can partition the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 in the extending direction of the insecticidal and sterilizing device 1. Therefore, it is possible to change the drying conditions such as temperature and air volume for each partitioned internal space. For example, when the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 is divided into two spaces, the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 on the one end side of the second tubular portion 26 has a relatively high temperature and a large amount. Can blow the wind. On the other hand, the temperature is relatively low and a small amount of air can be blown into the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 on the other end side of the second tubular portion 26.
 また、本実施の形態では、ブロワを例に送風部28を説明したが、これに限定されない。例えば、送風部28は、回転軸の周方向に、環状かつ等間隔に配設された複数の羽根車を備える部材であってもよい。送風部28に設けられる羽根車は、図示しない駆動源から駆動力を与えられることにより、回転軸を中心として回転可能である。 Further, in the present embodiment, the blower section 28 has been described by taking a blower as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the blower portion 28 may be a member including a plurality of impellers arranged in an annular shape and at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotation shaft. The impeller provided in the blower portion 28 can rotate about a rotation axis by applying a driving force from a drive source (not shown).
 また、異物受容部29の内部空間を複数の空間に区画する場合には、区画された空間に対応する個数、送風部28を設けることができる。例えば、図10に示すように、異物受容部29の内部空間を2つの空間に区画する場合には、第2筒状部26の一端部側の異物受容部29の内部空間には、60℃以上80℃以下の風の温度、かつ、70m/min以上90m/min以下の風量で送風することが好ましい。一方で、第2筒状部26の他端部側の異物受容部29の内部空間には、30℃以上50℃以下の風の温度、かつ、50m/min以上70m/min以下の風量で送風することが好ましい。 Further, when the internal space of the foreign matter receiving unit 29 is divided into a plurality of spaces, the number of blower units 28 corresponding to the divided spaces can be provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 is divided into two spaces, the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 on the one end side of the second tubular portion 26 has a temperature of 60 ° C. It is preferable to blow air at a wind temperature of 80 ° C. or higher and an air volume of 70 m 3 / min or more and 90 m 3 / min or less. On the other hand, in the internal space of the foreign matter receiving portion 29 on the other end side of the second tubular portion 26, the air temperature is 30 ° C. or higher and 50 ° C. or lower, and the air volume is 50 m 3 / min or higher and 70 m 3 / min or lower. It is preferable to blow air with.
 このように、異物受容部29の内部空間を複数の空間に区画することにより、送風部28から、異なる温度を有する風を、異なる風量でも各空間に送風することが可能となり、第2筒状部26の他端部側に向かうにつれて効率的に冷却処理も行うことができる。 By partitioning the internal space of the foreign matter receiving unit 29 into a plurality of spaces in this way, it becomes possible to blow air having different temperatures into each space from the air blowing unit 28 even with different air volumes, and the second tubular shape. The cooling process can be efficiently performed toward the other end side of the portion 26.
 また、本実施の形態2では、遠心分離により、穀物の表面から水及び蒸気の少なくとも1つを分離させる脱水部33を例示して説明したが、これに限定されない。充分に穀物の表面から水及び蒸気の少なくとも1つを分離させることができるのであれば、例えば、図示しない吸引機能を有する脱水部を用いてもよい。 Further, in the second embodiment, the dehydration section 33 that separates at least one of water and steam from the surface of the grain by centrifugation has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. If at least one of water and steam can be sufficiently separated from the surface of the grain, for example, a dehydrated portion having a suction function (not shown) may be used.
