2. Description of the Related Art In general, a laver production apparatus generates a laver raw material by mincing and washing a harvested laver raw algae, and controls the mixing of the laver raw material and water to a predetermined concentration to produce a laver mixture. Produce and make this nori preparation liquid,
In this configuration, the paper is dried to produce paper leaf-shaped dried seaweed. As a conventional apparatus for controlling the concentration of this seaweed preparation, there is one disclosed in JP-A-61-227766. FIGS. 7 and 8 show this conventional laver mixture concentration control device.
Shown in FIG. 7 is an overall block diagram of a conventional device, and FIG. 8 is a front view of a control panel in the conventional device.

[0003] In the figure, the conventional apparatus detects the concentration of the seaweed preparation liquid 800 stored in the concentration adjusting tank 81 of the concentration adjusting unit 8, and detects the detected concentration and the set concentration set by the concentration setting unit 11. Based on the above, the concentration control unit 40 adjusts and controls the concentration of the seaweed preparation liquid 800 stored in the concentration adjusting tank 81, and the present value display 68 digitally displays the detected concentration and sets the set concentration to the set value. A display 69 digitally displays the current value display 68 with the number of digits and each digit position aligned.

[0004] The concentration adjusting tank 81 is provided with a seaweed preparation liquid 800 having a concentration close to an appropriate concentration from a preparation machine 80 and a water supply pump 8.
3 is provided so as to flow in and store water from a water tank 82. The concentration adjusting tank 81 has a drainage pump 8 having a filter screen 87 attached to an outlet.
When the concentration is low, the water is filtered and discharged from the concentration adjusting tank 81. Further, in the concentration adjusting tank 81, a seaweed preparation liquid 800, which is a mixture of seaweed and water stored in the tank, is provided.
And a float switch 86 that operates when the water level in the tank reaches a set upper limit water level and a lower limit water level to transmit an electric signal. .

The present value display 68 and the set value display 6
Reference numeral 9 denotes a panel meter for digitally displaying the concentration of the current value and the set value of the seaweed preparation liquid 800 with a number of about three digits, respectively. On the surface of the control panel 95, a density adjusting dial 110 and light / dark display lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, L5,
Input switch 830 for feed pump 83, drain pump 8
4 is provided with an input switch 840, an alarm buzzer 79, a switch 790 for the alarm buzzer 79, a manual / automatic changeover switch 820, and a power switch 810.

The density detecting section 21 has a light emitting section 21a having a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode, and a light receiving section having a light receiving element such as a phototransistor or a photodiode which changes its electric output according to the amount of received light. And a portion 21b as a sensor. The light signal emitted by the light emitting unit 21a passes through the mixture and reaches the light receiving unit 21b, and the light receiving unit 21b generates an output signal that changes depending on the amount of transmitted light. This output signal is amplified by the amplifier 21d, compared with the reference signal of the set concentration output from the set value generator 111 by the differential amplifier 33, and after its deviation value is amplified, the voltage discriminator 3
4 is supplied. The voltage discriminator 34 discriminates the voltage signal into, for example, five-stage voltage signals according to the magnitude of the voltage.

The discriminated five-stage voltage signals are supplied to the gray scale display section 77, respectively, and any one of the gray scale display lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 is selected according to the magnitude of the voltage. Is turned on, and the concentration of the seaweed preparation liquid 800 detected by the concentration detection unit 21 is compared with a set concentration value and displayed. The light / dark display lamp L1 has a maximum high density "dark", the lamp L2 has a medium high density "dark", the light / dark display lamp L3 has an appropriate density "good", and the light / dark display lamp L4 has a medium density. Is set to display the low density “light”, and the gradation display lamp L5 displays the maximum low density “light”.

Next, the operation of controlling the concentration of the seaweed preparation liquid in the conventional apparatus based on the above configuration will be described. First, the dried seaweed algae is cut into small pieces by a mincing machine (not shown) and minced. .
Water is also supplied to the blender 80 at the same time as the minced nori original algae, and a nori blended liquid 800 is obtained which is substantially equal to a paper leaf nori having a desired thickness.

[0009] The seaweed preparation liquid 800 is supplied from the preparation machine 80 into the concentration adjusting tank 81. When the water level of the laver preparation liquid 800 stored in the concentration adjusting tank 81 reaches the set upper limit water level, the float switch 86 is operated and the limit signal is fed back to the preparation machine 80 side, and the supply from the preparation machine 80 is performed. Stops. The seaweed preparation liquid 800 stored in the concentration adjustment tank 81 is stirred by the stirrer 85 to prevent the separation of the seaweed and the water, and the concentration of the seaweed preparation liquid 800 is adjusted by the concentration detection unit 21 installed in the concentration adjustment tank 81. Is detected. Further, the concentration setting unit 11 sets an appropriate concentration value of the laver preparation liquid 800. The set density value is digitally displayed on the set value display 69 and the detected density is displayed on the current value display 68 respectively. Since the present value display 68 and the set value display 69 display the number of digits and the position of each digit in alignment, the operator can easily judge each state.

The detected density value and the set density value are input to the differential amplifier 33, and the deviation density value is calculated and output to the voltage discriminator 34. This voltage discriminator 34 discriminates and outputs all the stages according to the signal voltage value of the deviation concentration value. The timer circuit 4 is operated by each of the discriminated signals.
4 and 46 are started to drive the drive circuits 45 and 47 for the time set by the timer circuits 44 and 46. The drive circuit 45 drives the drain pump 84 to discharge water to increase the concentration, and the drive circuit 47 drives the water supply pump 83 to supply water to lower the concentration. In this way, the nori preparation liquid 800 adjusted to an appropriate concentration is supplied from the concentration adjustment tank 81 to a nori paper making machine (not shown) to form nori, and the remaining nori preparation liquid 80
0 is returned to the concentration adjusting tank 81.

When the water level of the concentration adjusting tank 81 drops to the set lower limit water level, the float switch 86 is operated and a signal is sent to the compounding machine 80, so that the valve device of the compounding machine 80 is operated and the water level is set. The laver preparation liquid 800 is supplied to the concentration adjusting tank 81 until the upper limit water level is reached. As described above, even when the concentration of the laver preparation liquid 800 in the concentration adjusting tank 81 is out of the range of the appropriate concentration, it is possible to automatically adjust the concentration to the appropriate concentration. Appropriate and uniform thickness of leaf laver is achieved.

[0012]

Since the conventional laver preparation liquid concentration control device is constructed as described above, it is assumed that feedback control is performed so that the set concentration and the detection concentration of the laver preparation liquid are made to coincide with each other. Depending on the characteristics, quality, varieties, conditions, etc. of the nori-producing algae, the finished product of the paper leaf nori, which is the final product, for example, the weight per predetermined number of paper leaf nori varies, and paper satisfying the target conditions There was a problem that the concentration of the seaweed preparation liquid for producing leaf seaweed could not be accurately adjusted.

[0013] Estimating the condition of paper leaf laver according to various conditions of the nori progenitor algae from the set concentration or the detected concentration of the laver preparation liquid requires many years of intuition and skill in the concentration adjustment work. However, even with this long intuition and skill, there is a problem that the concentration may be erroneously adjusted depending on various conditions or types of the laver raw material. Thus, even if the target concentration adjustment or the drying of the laver can be performed by trial and error of a long-time experienced person or a skilled person, readjustment by trial and error is required every time the nori original algae is carried in. In particular, since the seaweed progeny is harvested in a short period from November to March of the following year, the seaweed production period is also short, and no seaweed production is performed for a long time after the harvest and production season ends. There was a problem that the adjustment operation of the previous season could not be referred to.

[0014] In addition, in the concentration adjustment of the laver preparation liquid, since each state or type of the laver progenitor is different every time the laver progeny algae are carried in, the laver preparation liquid corresponding to each type of laver progeny algae is different. Since the operator must immediately determine the state and adjust the set value, there is a problem that the density adjustment is extremely difficult and complicated. In addition, nori production,
In particular, the drying process of seaweed is closely related to the weather conditions such as external temperature and humidity, and has the problem that it is not possible to stably produce finished dried seaweed of the desired quality due to the influence of these external environments. I was

Next, the operation of the density control of this embodiment based on the above configuration will be described. First, as a premise, at the time of startup, the feedback concentration control system is released and the mode is set to the open loop mode. In this state, the seaweed raw material is generated by performing each of the mince treatment and the water washing treatment on the seaweed original algae (step 1). The mixing ratio of the laver raw material and water by the blender 80 is set by a blending setting section (not shown) of the blender 80 (step 2). Further, the blending machine 80 mixes the laver raw material and water at a ratio corresponding to the set blending concentration, thereby producing a laver blending liquid 800 (step 2). The set mixing density is displayed on the display unit 6.
Can also be displayed on the set value display section 62 of.

The produced seaweed preparation liquid 800 is supplied and stored in the concentration adjusting tank 81 until the float switch 86 is operated (step 3). As search conditions for the history information, a date (output from the calendar management unit 23 such as a calendar IC), a sampling place, a product type, and the like are input (step 4). In such a state, the storage control unit 2 determines whether or not the storage unit 3 has past nori information and history information that is related information (step 5). The concentration detecting section 21 detects the concentration of the stored laver preparation liquid 800 in a state of being stirred by the stirrer 85 (step 6). The detected concentration can be displayed on the detection value display section 64. While confirming the displayed content, the set density which is the reference of the feedback density control system is set to the same value as the detected density by the density setting unit 1.
1 is set (step 7). This set density can be displayed on the set value display section 62 of the display section 6.

In the state where the set density is set, the operator sets the feedback density control system to the closed loop mode to start the feedback operation of the density control. By starting this feedback operation,
Control is performed so that the seaweed preparation liquid 800 in the concentration adjustment tank 82 matches the set concentration (step 8). The state of the density control can also be displayed on the drive display section 65 and the grayscale display section 77. The seaweed preparation liquid 800 having the set concentration according to the concentration control is fed to the paper making unit 100 through the outlet pipe 89 (step 9), and the paper making unit 100 forms the seaweed preparation liquid and forms it into a paper leaf. Generate dried seaweed (Step 1
0).

The seaweed prepared in the form of paper leaf is dried in a drying unit 200
The dried portion 200 is sent to the drying section 200, and the dried seaweed is manufactured into a finished dried seaweed (step 11). A predetermined number (for example, in units of 100) of the completed dried laver is detected by the weight detection unit 22.
It is weighed every time, and this weighed value is output to the storage control unit 2 as a detected weight (step 12). The detected weight can be displayed on the detected value display section 64 of the display section 6. The weight detection 22 compares the detected weight with a preset weight (for example, 300 g) to determine whether or not the weight is appropriate (step 13). When it is determined that the weight is appropriate, the storage control unit 2 ends the write information management operation in the storage unit 3 as history information by associating the seaweed information such as the set concentration in the currently executing feedback control system with the related information. (Step 14).

If it is determined that the weight is not the proper weight, the process returns to the step 7 and the operation up to the step 12 is repeated. Note that the writing to the storage unit 3 in step 14 may include the detected weight as related information. In this case, the characteristics of the seaweed original algae, the concentration of the seaweed preparation liquid 800, and the detected weight can be associated with each other and handled as a series of data. If the history information exists in the storage unit 3 in step 5, the storage control unit 2 reads the seaweed information and the related information closest to the current state in the history information (step 15). The storage controller 2 sets the same value as the set concentration in the read seaweed information as the set concentration serving as the reference of the feedback concentration control system (step 16). After the set density is set, the operations of steps 8 to 14 are executed.

(Another Embodiment of the Present Invention) FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of a device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the apparatus of the present embodiment is similar to that of the above-described embodiment and is similar to that of FIGS.
It is configured as follows. The detailed description of this configuration will be omitted, and its operation will be described in detail. First, as in the embodiment shown in FIG.
After 1), the concentration setting of the blender 80 is performed to mix the seaweed raw material and water (Step 102), and the seaweed preparation liquid 800 generated by this mixing is stored in the concentration adjusting tank 81 (Step 103). .

In the state where the seaweed preparation liquid 800 is stored, the storage control unit 2 determines whether or not the readout switch of the key input unit 24 is turned on to operate the switch (step 104). If it is determined, the storage control unit 2 determines whether or not nori information or related information is stored in the storage unit 3 (step 105). If it is determined in step 105 that the information is stored in the storage unit 3, the date, the collection location, and the product type are used as search information for specifying which of the stored information is to be read. The search conditions such as are input by operating each switch of the key input unit 24 (step 115).

Based on this search information, the storage controller 2 reads out the corresponding information or the closest information, and displays it on the display 6 (step 116). The operator visually checks the displayed laver information and related information, and determines whether or not to use the read laver information and related information related to the display (step 117). When it is determined that the displayed information is used in step 117, the displayed laver information or related information is set as each set value (step 118). Step 10
4, when it is determined that the readout switch is not on, when it is determined in step 105 that there is no information, and when it is determined in step 117 that the readout information is not used, the concentration of the laver preparation liquid 800 is determined. The setting is performed by the density setting unit 11 (step 106).

After the concentration is set in step 106 or as a set value in step 118, it is determined whether or not the laver preparation liquid 800 in the concentration adjusting tank 81 conforms to each of the set concentrations. Is determined by the deviation density calculator 41 of the density controller 4 obtaining the deviation density (step 107). This deviation concentration is a non-zero numerical value,
That is, when it is determined that the concentration is not the proper concentration, the concentration control driving unit 42 operates the laver preparation liquid 800 so that the deviation concentration becomes zero.
Is adjusted by feedback control (step 119).

If it is determined in step 107 that the density is appropriate, or if the density adjustment is completed in step 119, the density controller 4 determines whether the set value is changed (step 108). ). When it is determined that the set value has been changed in step 113 described later, the registered set value is changed by, for example, operating the density setting unit 11 by the operator (step 12).
0). As a case where the registered set value is changed, a case where the operator inspects the carried nori original algae or the like and corrects it so as to obtain a more specific appropriate value can be considered. In addition to the above-mentioned updating operation, a detecting device (not shown) for detecting the type of nori is provided when the nori original algae is carried in or when the nori raw material is generated. A configuration in which the registered set value is changed based on the detected value may be adopted.

If the set value is not changed in step 108, or after the registered set value is changed in step 120, the storage control unit 2 determines whether the registration switch of the key input unit 24 is on (step S1). 109). If it is determined that the registration switch is turned on, the current setting and various information related to the set value are registered and written in the storage unit 3 (step 121). Step 10
If it is determined in step 9 that the registration switch has not been turned on, or after the information has been registered in step 121, the concentration adjusting unit 4 determines whether or not the laver preparation liquid 800 remains in the concentration adjusting tank 81. (Step 110). If it is determined that the laver preparation liquid 800 remains, the lari preparation liquid 800 is made (step 111), and it is determined whether or not the formed paper leaf-like laver is appropriate. (Step 112). If it is determined that the value is not appropriate, the operator sets the currently set value to the density setting unit 11.
Is operated to manually change (step 113), and the changed set value is displayed on the display unit 6 (step 11).
4).

Although the registration is controlled in step 120 when the set value is changed, a configuration in which the set value is registered in the storage unit 3 simultaneously with the change of the set value may be adopted. If it is determined that the papermaking state is appropriate, or if it is changed and displayed in step 114, the process returns to step 107 and repeats the above operation.

In each of the above embodiments, the concentration of the concentration adjusting liquid 800 is controlled based on the information managed by the laver information management device. However, the drying operation of the drying unit 200 is feedback-controlled based on the information. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which In this case, various information related to the drying operation of the drying unit 200 can be displayed on the display unit 6. Furthermore, the drying operation of the drying unit 200 and the control operation of the density control unit 4 may be linked to perform feedback control mutually.

Further, in the above embodiment, the concentration controller 4 or the drying unit 200 is configured to be controlled based on the laver information from the storage controller 2. A configuration for controlling the manufacturing operation may be adopted. In controlling the papermaking operation, the amount of dewatering press during papermaking can be controlled based on the type of laver, for example, the number of times of plucking. The information of the papermaking control is also stored in the storage unit 3 as history information by the storage control unit 2, and the drying operation of the drying unit 200 can be adjusted and controlled by combining this information with the information of the drying control.

As described above, in the present invention, nori information is input from the nori information input means, various related information is input from the related information input means, and the storage control means stores the nori information and the related information. The associated information is written as history information in the storage means, and the written information is appropriately read and controlled by the storage control means, so that the optimum information is read from the history information every time the nori original algae is carried in. As a result, it becomes possible to support the adjustment operation and the production operation relating to the production of laver. As described above, since the standard relating to laver production can be immediately read and controlled, it is possible to produce a finished dried laver having a desired quality even when the conditions for producing various laver are changed. In the apparatus of the present invention, since the laver information input means inputs the laver weight, the drying temperature or the concentration of the laver mixture as the laver information, it is possible to consistently control from the concentration adjustment of the laver to the production of the finished dried laver. Thus, the laver production operation becomes easier, and there is an effect that high-quality finished dried laver can be produced. Further, in the apparatus of the present invention, the related information input means inputs various information relating to the weather and the harvest of the nori original algae as the related information.
Nori production can be controlled according to the characteristics of the laver itself, which has the effect of producing a higher quality finished dried laver. Further, in the present invention, the laver information or various related information can be arbitrarily changed and set by the information management means, so that it can be corrected to information suitable for various types of laver, and a uniform and stable finished laver can be obtained. It has the effect that it can be manufactured. Further, the apparatus of the present invention has an effect that the concentration of the laver preparation liquid can be adjusted with higher precision and speed since the concentration of the laver preparation liquid is roughly adjusted to a preset concentration. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the concentration control means adjusts and controls the concentration of the nori preparation liquid based on the information managed by the nori information management device, the concentration of the nori preparation liquid suitable for various types of nori is adjusted. It is possible to adjust the concentration, and it is possible to quickly and appropriately control the concentration of the target seaweed preparation liquid. Furthermore, in the apparatus of the present invention, since the leaf-shaped laver is manufactured based on the information managed by the laver information management device, when producing the leaf-shaped laver, the paper-leaf laver is particularly produced. In this case, the paper making operation can be performed with an appropriate supply amount and dehydration amount of the seaweed preparation liquid based on the information of the seaweed information management device, which has an effect that a uniform and high-quality finished dried seaweed can be manufactured. Furthermore, in the apparatus of the present invention, since the leaf-shaped laver is manufactured based on the information managed by the laver information management device, especially when the leaf-shaped laver is produced, the paper-leaved laver is dried. In this case, the drying operation can be performed at an appropriate temperature and humidity based on the information of the laver information management device, which has an effect that uniform and high-quality finished dried laver can be manufactured.
