BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings.

The outflow output system S is composed of at least a laver machine M, a flow meter 19, a water level sensor 25, and a communication terminal 15 (see FIG. 7).
As shown in FIG. 1, the laver making machine M is equipped with a flow divider 2 for feeding the nori dough L into the paper making box 1 from a diversion tank 3 for storing the nori dough L, which is provided above the making box 1 . A nori dough liquid outflow mechanism 4 is provided. The laver making machine M moves the laver waste 6 horizontally conveyed by a laver waste conveying mechanism (not shown) provided below the paper making box 1 to a waste table 10 and a water retention bag provided below. 5 and a transparent mass 7 sandwiched between them.

The flow divider 2 of the laver dough liquid outflow mechanism 4 is a bent hollow tube having an upper end communicating with the bottom of the flow dividing tank 3 and a lower end having an inlet 2a tapered into a funnel shape. It is inserted from the shoulder of the box 1, and the seaweed dough liquid L can be thrown into the box 1 from the inlet 2a. Further, an overflow port 1f is formed extending downward from the shoulder of the paper box 1 into which the flow divider 2 is inserted to discharge the seaweed dough liquid L overflowing from the paper box 1. - 特許庁

The papermaking box 1 is formed in the shape of a hollow housing, in which a papermaking valve is supported by a plurality of auxiliary valve stems 1c suspended from a papermaking valve hanger plate 1b provided at the inner upper end of the papermaking box 1. 1a is provided, and an inlet 2a of a flow divider 2 inserted from the top of the papermaking box 1 is arranged facing the papermaking valve 1a.

Here, the paper box 1 has a plurality of seaweed dough outflow holes 8 formed in the bottom plate 1g thereof, and these seaweed dough outflow holes 8 are connected to a plurality of papermaking valves 1d vertically installed in the papermaking valve 1a. It can be opened and closed by The opening and closing operation of the papermaking valve 1d is performed following the up-and-down movement of the papermaking valve hanger plate 1b.

The paper making valve hanger plate 1b is moved between the paper making valve hanger plate 1b and the valve frame 1e at the top of the paper making box 1 via a spring 12 by moving the paper making arm 11 arranged above the paper making box 1 up and down. The main valve stem 13 connected and held by the hanger plate 1b is pressed to elastically open and close.

That is, by driving the paper-making arm 11 to raise and lower the paper-making valve 1a, the nori dough liquid outflow hole 8 can be opened and closed. Further, the lower part of the paper box 1 is surrounded by a cylindrical transparent mass 7 which is open at the top and bottom and has a flange 7a at the upper edge. The transparent mass 7 can move up and down to come into contact with and separate from the dried seaweed 6.

The water retention mechanism 9 includes a flexible water retention bag 5 attached to the lower portion of a lower mass 5a formed in the shape of a rectangular plate in a gridiron shape so as to be compressible and inflatable. Arranged and configured. A plurality of vertically penetrating water passage holes (not shown) are formed in the lower mass 5a. The water surface position of the retained water can be changed up and down.

The operation of the nori sheeting device M will be described (see FIGS. 2 to 5 and 8).
Generally speaking, the seaweed dough liquid L stored in the diversion tank 3 flows out from the inlet 2 a of the diversion device 2 into the paper box 1 .
As shown in FIG. 2, first, when the laver making machine M is started, the nori dough liquid L, which is constantly pumped and stored in the diversion tank 3 of the laver dough outflow mechanism 4, is pumped into the making box 1. A predetermined flow rate is divided and discharged by the flow divider 2 (step S1). The seaweed dough liquid L put into the paper box 1 fills the inside of the paper box 1, and when it is full, it overflows and overflows from the overflow port 1a (steps S2 and S3).

The flow meter 19 is a sensor that measures the outflow rate of the laver dough liquid L flowing out to the paper box 1, and may be arranged at the bottom of the diversion tank 3 between the diversion tank 3 and the diversion device 2, for example. The flow meter 19 starts measuring the outflow flow rate (volume m ³ /s of the outflowing water per unit time) when the laver dough liquid L flows out from the laver-making device M (step S20), and the measurement is performed. The outflow flow data is transmitted to the data management device 30 (step S30).

The water level sensor 25 is arranged inside the paper box 1 or the like, and measures the water level in the paper box 1 of the seaweed dough liquid L that has flowed out into the paper box 1 . The water level sensor 25 detects that the laver dough liquid flowing out of the paper box 1 has reached a water level at which it overflows from the paper box 1, and notifies the data management device 30 of the detection (step S22).

The data management device 30 is a computer capable of receiving each data transmitted wirelessly from the flow meter 19 and the water level sensor 25, enabling access from the communication terminal 15, and appropriately transmitting each data to the communication terminal 15. Send.

The communication terminal 15 is a terminal capable of wirelessly communicating with the data management device 30, and receives and outputs outflow flow rate data measured by the flow meter 19. FIG. The communication terminal 15 may be a computer terminal, smart phone or tablet terminal.

The communication terminal 15 receives the outflow flow rate data transmitted from the flow meter 19 (step S23), receives notification from the water level sensor 25 (via the data management device 30), and calculates the time (step S24). ).

Here, the outflow amount of laver dough liquid L filled in the paper making box 1 is the unit flow rate Q measured by the flow meter 19 and the time T until the water level sensor 25 notifies the overflow. Multiplied value. In other words, this outflow amount is the amount of laver dough liquid that flows out onto the laver sheet 6 in one operation.

The calculation unit 21 of the communication terminal 15 calculates the nori dough liquid based on the time T from when the laver dough liquid L flows into the paper box 1 until it overflows from the paper box 1 and the outflow rate Q of the laver dough liquid L. is calculated (Q×T) (step S25).
Here, even when the water level is 0, the water level sensor 25 notifies the communication terminal 15 that the water level is 0 via the data management device 30, and the calculation unit 21 determines the start time of measuring the time until overflow. It is measured as the timing of this notification.

The timing at which the water level is 0 is the timing at which the paper making valve 1 d is activated, and time measurement starts at this timing, so that the outflow rate can be calculated for each operation of the paper making arm 11 .

The output unit 22 of the communication terminal 15 outputs the outflow amount calculated by the calculation unit 21 (step S26). As a result, the administrator can grasp the outflow amount of the laver dough liquid L stored in the paper box 1 flowing out to the laver shavings 6. - 特許庁

Here, in the communication terminal 15, an approximate numerical value (Q × T) obtained by multiplying the above-mentioned unit flow rate Q (m ³ / sec) of seaweed dough per unit time by the time T (sec) until overflow is preliminarily This value may be stored, and when a predetermined threshold value is exceeded using this value as a guide, an abnormality may be notified to the right holder (step S27).

By changing this threshold value, for example, when the density of the laver dough L is thin and soft, or when it contains a large amount of raw laver that drains slowly and is soft, the flow rate of the laver dough L is increased. If the concentration of is high and the seaweed dough is hard and contains a lot of raw seaweed that drains quickly, it can be handled by reducing this.

The dried seaweed 6 is intermittently transported by a predetermined distance along the transport path in a predetermined cycle (step S4). As shown in FIG. 3, after that, the laver-making machine M lowers the transparent mass 7 so that its lower open surface is brought into contact with the upper surface of the lower mass 5a via the seaweed blister 6 (step S5). As a result, the seaweed mistake 3 is sandwiched between the transparent square 7 and the lower square 5a (step S6).

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the laver-making machine M raises the waste table 10 to push up the center of the lower portion of the water-retaining bag 5, thereby compressing the water-retaining bag 5 (steps S7 and S8). . As a result, the water stored inside the water-retaining bag 5 permeates the seaweed shavings 6 from the water passage holes (not shown) of the lower mass 5a and flows out into the transparent mass 7, and the upper surface of the seaweed shavings 6 is discharged. It will be filled with water.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, in the nori sheet making machine M, the main valve stem 13 is pushed down by the sheet making arm 11, thereby pressing the sheet making valve 1a and lowering the sheet making valve 1d to lower the bottom plate 1c of the making box 1. The seaweed dough liquid outflow hole 8 is opened (step S9). As a result, the seaweed batter liquid L is allowed to flow down onto the seaweed shavings 6 for papermaking (steps S10 and S11).

As shown in FIG. 6, after the laver making, the laver making apparatus M raises the making valve 1a to close the nori dough outflow hole 8 by raising the making valve 1a. Then, the process returns to step S2 and repeats the above operation.

The present invention can be expected to improve the quality of seaweed by quantifying the amount of proper seaweed dough that flows out onto the seaweed mistake for papermaking, and can be suitably used to collect big data. be.
