[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a uniform sprinkling device for mixed spice powder , and more specifically, seed-based spices such as pepper, coriander, mustard, nutmeg, leafy spices such as laurel, parsley, dried vegetable-based spices such as onion, garlic, chili, leek, etc. The present invention relates to a uniform sprinkling device for mixed spice powder, which can uniformly sprinkle and spread mixed spice powder obtained by processing and mixing various spices into powder, fine particles, and fruit granules on livestock such as chicken and beef pork.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, mixed spices (hereinafter referred to simply as “spice”) mixed with various spices as pre-processing when fish, chicken, livestock, etc. (hereinafter referred to simply as “livestock meat”) are heat-processed as straw products and baked products. It is used by applying or sprinkling. In this case, spice sprinkling by hand will not be very difficult if a small amount is pre-treated at home, but if a large amount is processed at a food factory etc., it will be accompanied by work fatigue Therefore, it has been inevitable that the working environment is deteriorated due to spattering of spices.
[0003]
In addition, if the spice to be used is, for example, in the form of a powder, there is not much problem in sprinkling uniformly on the surface of livestock meat, etc. There is a problem that it is extremely difficult to evenly and uniformly sprinkle all the meat meats, such as mottled patterns adhering to the surface of the meat meat, shifting away, or only powdered spices adhering.
[0004]
Therefore, the present inventor initially provided a rotating roll on the bottom surface serving as the spice discharge port of the spice storage hopper, prototyped a device for extracting and discharging spices from the hopper in a certain amount, and confirming the discharge status and sprinkling condition. However, depending on the type of mixed spices, particles such as spices and shells with large diameters were clogged in the discharge port, causing a phenomenon such as blocking the outlet, and could not succeed in quantitative discharge for a long time. In addition, when a conveyor for processing articles (livestock meat, etc.) is placed below the prototype device and the sprinkled state of the discharged spices on the conveyor surface is confirmed, a linear or mottled shaded portion is produced. Thus, it was found that spices were not distributed uniformly and uniformly.
[0005]
As a result of further investigation through trial and error, the inventor has a structure in which the discharge port of the spice storage hopper can be expanded and contracted according to the type of spice so as not to be clogged, and the spice drawn from the storage hopper is once homogenized by a rotating roll. Then, it was thought that spices could be uniformly distributed on the transport conveyor by dispersing and flipping them. As a result, we arrived at the idea that it would be possible to distribute spices uniformly on the surface of livestock meat that was transported in large quantities on a transport conveyor and sent to the baking machine, and by creating a device that embodies this, Completed the invention.
An object of the present invention is to provide a uniform sprinkling device for mixed spice powder that can be sprinkled and distributed uniformly before baking the mixed spices made of spices having different particle diameters onto the surface of a large amount of livestock meat or the like.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the uniform sprinkling device for mixed spice powder according to the present invention has a narrow and horizontally long discharge port at the bottom, and a spice containing hopper with the upper portion serving as a spice input port, and provided near the discharge port of this hopper. An adjusting means for adjusting the width of the discharge port, a rotating roll disposed below the adjusting means in sliding contact with the lower end of one side wall of the hopper and disposed in the longitudinal direction of the discharge port. The longitudinal direction of the lateral side surface of the rotating roll, comprising a rotating means of the roll, wherein the diameter of the rotating roll is larger than the width of the discharge port and the spices drawn out from the discharge port are once blocked At least one piano wire is stretched so as to be in contact with the surface of the rotating roll along the entire length .
[0007]
By setting it as such a structure, even if spices with a large particle diameter are mixed in the mixed spice powder, the discharge port can be adjusted in advance, so that it can be taken out from the hopper without clogging.
Also, the spice that is drawn on the surface of the rotating roll is caught once on the stretched piano wire, is equalized, overflows the piano wire, or is blown off moderately by the slight vibration, and downwards Evenly distributed.
At this time, if the adjusting means is a plate member provided on the side wall of the hopper so as to be slidable up and down, the adjusting means may have a simple structure that is easy to handle and maintain.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing one use mode of a uniform spreading device such as a mixed spice powder of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional explanatory view of a main part of FIG. That is, FIG. 1 installs a uniform spreading device (hereinafter simply referred to as “spreading device”) 3 such as the mixed spice powder of the present invention on the entrance guides 2 and 2 of the conveyor 1 that passes through a baking device (not shown). It shows a use state in which spices are distributed on the surface of a large amount of processed products (chicken) 4, 4,.
[0009]
The spreading device 3 is provided with a hopper 5 for storing spices having a substantially V-shaped cross section, the bottom of the hopper 5 is formed with a narrow and horizontally long discharge port 6, and the upper part is used as a spice input port 7 (see FIG. 2). A plate member for adjusting the width of the discharge port 6 is arranged as an adjusting means 8 in the vicinity of the discharge port 6 of the hopper 5, and the plate member slides or is fixed vertically along the bottom side wall of the hopper 5. It is attached freely. A rotating roll 9 is disposed below the adjusting means 8 along the longitudinal direction of the discharge port 6 so as to be in sliding contact with the lower end of one side wall of the bottom portion of the hopper 5.
[0010]
The rotating roll 9 is a Delrin (polyacetal resin) cylinder whose diameter is about 100 mm larger than the width of the discharge port 6 and is connected to a variable speed rotating means (not shown).
In addition, a piano wire 10 having a diameter of about 0.5 mm is stretched along the longitudinal direction of the lateral surface of the rotating roll 9 so that the piano wire 10 slightly vibrates as the rotating roll 9 rotates. turning rolls 9 and piano wire 10 are structured in a state in which come in contact over its entire length.
[0011]
[Action]
Next, the effect | action of this invention is demonstrated based on the use aspect.
Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the mixed spice accommodated in the hopper 5 is drawn outward from the discharge port 6 at the bottom of the hopper 5 along with the rotation of the rotating roll 9, and the side of the rotating roll 9. The side piano wire 10 is moved to a stretched position. Here, since the piano wire 10 is in contact with the surface of the rotating roll 9, the mixed spice is temporarily blocked by the piano wire 10 (equalized), overcomes this, or is subjected to slight vibrations and played off. To be dispersed (evenly).
[0012]
As a result, even if the spice is a mixture of many kinds of spices with different particle sizes, only the spices with a specific particle size are collected or distributed in a mottled pattern, which is almost the same as the original mixed state. Distributed.
In addition, when using this apparatus, it cannot be overemphasized that the magnitude | size of the width | variety of the discharge port of a hopper and the rotational speed of a rotation roll are adjusted beforehand according to the kind of livestock meat etc. to process. It is also clear that the number of piano wires may be used if necessary.
Furthermore, it can distribute more uniformly by arrange | positioning 1-3 small diameter (1-3 mm) round bars 13 in the spice fall position. The reason is that the spice that hits the round bar changes its falling direction at random and becomes more uniform.
