Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic seaweed mixing device used to uniformly mix weighed raw seaweed with water and transfer the mixture to a seaweed machine.

Conventionally, various structures have been proposed as automatic seaweed blending devices, but the most common is one that is equipped with a rotary dividing wheel at the bottom of a seaweed tank. However, when the seaweed is weighed into equal amounts using a dividing wheel and falls from the droplet, it tends to form lumps, so an idea was devised to blow out an air jet for the purpose of loosening the lumps (Utility Model Publication No. 58-20150). Although it has been proposed, it is still insufficient in terms of uniformly mixing fallen raw seaweed with water.

However, in this invention, a stirring chamber is provided below the drop port, and a water supply pipe with an upward water fountain is installed horizontally at the bottom of the drop port. The above-mentioned conventional problems were solved by stirring the mixture after stirring to form a homogeneous mixture.

That is, to explain this invention with reference to an embodiment, double rotating shafts 3 and 4 are installed vertically in the center of the lower bottom plate 2 of the seaweed tank 1, a stirring blade 5 is fixed to the upper part of the inner rotating shaft 3, and the outer Dividing plates 6, 6 are protruded radially from the rotating shaft 4 at equal intervals, and the rotating shaft 4 and the dividing plate 6 constitute a dividing wheel 7. The stirring blade 5 is bent so as to come into sliding contact with the upper part of the dividing wheel 7 and the inner wall of the seaweed tank 1. A fan-shaped cover plate 8 is installed horizontally above the split wheel 7 to cover it (Fig. 4, 10).
11), a drop opening 9 is bored in a part of the bottom plate 2 facing the fan-shaped cover plate 8. Falling port 9
is narrower than one section of the split car (the area surrounded by the two split plates). A water supply pipe 10 is installed horizontally below the center of the drop port 9, and a water fountain hole 11 is provided in the water supply pipe 10. The bottomed cylindrical portion housing the dividing wheel, cover plate 9, and rotating shafts 3 and 4 constitutes a measuring chamber. A stirring chamber 12 with a chute 38 is connected below the drop port 9, and the bottom of the chute is slightly higher than the bottom of the stirring chamber.
2, a stirring shaft 14 with blades 13 is installed horizontally,
Water receiving blades 15 are arranged at one end of the stirring shaft 14 at equal intervals on the same circumference (FIGS. 6 and 7).

In the embodiment described above, when the motor 16 is started, the sprocket wheels 20 and 21 of the rotating shafts 3 and 4 are rotated via the sprocket wheels 18 and 19 fixed to the shaft 17, so the rotating shafts 3 and 4 are similarly rotated. Rotate to. Thereupon, the stirring blades 5 and the dividing plates 6 attached to the rotating shafts 3 and 4 rotate. For example, when the dividing plate 6 rotates in the direction of arrow 22 in FIG. It falls from the mouth 9 as shown by the arrow 24 (Fig. 10). In this case the pump (not shown)
As the water that has been pumped out is blown out from the water supply pipe 10 as shown by arrow 25, the seaweed that is between the dividing plates of the weighing car falls from the drop opening and contains water and adheres to the dividing plate wall. The seaweed is effectively washed away and enters the stirring chamber 12 from the direction of arrow 28. On the other hand, inside the stirring chamber 12, pressurized water pumped from the pump is injected into the water receiving blade 15 from the direction of arrow 40 in FIG. The seaweed is stirred by the blade 13 to become a uniform mixture with a constant concentration, and is sent to the next process through the chute 38 as shown by the arrow 27. In the figure, 29 is the aircraft body, 30 is the ejection chute, 3
1 is a water supply pipe, 32 is a water supply pipe to the seaweed tank, 33 is a branch pipe to the water supply pipe 10, 34 is a water supply pipe to the water receiving blade 15, and 35 is a return pipe, which is stirred by the opening degree of the valve 36. By adjusting the rotational force of the shaft and the opening degree of the valve 37, the water supply pressure and water supply amount from the water supply pipe can be adjusted.

That is, according to the present invention, pressurized water is sprayed onto the seaweed contained in the dividing plate of the dividing wheel from below the drop opening, so that all the seaweed is washed away, and the water permeates and loosens the seaweed clumps. Furthermore, since the chute is provided higher than the bottom plate of the stirring chamber, a constant depth can be maintained within the stirring chamber. Therefore, since the water is stirred by the blades in the stirring chamber, it has the effect of quickly turning the mixed water into a uniformly concentrated water. Therefore, a fixed amount of seaweed water with a uniform concentration is supplied to the seaweed machine, which has the effect of making it possible to obtain homogeneous seaweed. Furthermore, since the seaweed supplied from the dividing car is in fixed quantities, it has the effect of maintaining a constant concentration at all times.
