Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an apparatus for uniformly dehumidifying and drying, defrosting, roasting, smoking, etc. of foods and the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a thawing device for foods, etc., a device having a structure as shown in FIG. 3, for example, is known.

This device is divided into two chambers by a partition wall 25 into which a vertically long thawing chamber 24 is inserted in the longitudinal direction, and these two chambers are connected to a thawing machine 26, and the processing medium is transferred to a third chamber by damper control (not shown). By repeating the operation of flowing in the direction of the solid line arrow in the figure and the operation of flowing in the direction of the chain line arrow in the same figure, the action of the processing medium on the food, etc. placed on the trolley 27 and stored inside is equalized. It is designed to allow for even decompression processing.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the conventional thawing device described above
As shown in Fig. 3, several carts 27 carrying articles are housed in the two elongated chambers in the interior, so the flow direction of the processing medium is changed as described above to equalize the effect of the medium on the articles. However, the state of action on the article and the temperature, humidity, flow rate, etc. of the medium inevitably change between the upstream side, downstream side, and intermediate part of the media flow, causing uneven thawing of the article. Warehouse 24
There was a problem that uniform processing could not be carried out unless the container was opened, the article loading cart 27 was pulled out, and its position was changed.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by rotating the article loading cart into the flow path of the processing medium, all the articles can be handled without changing the position of the cart. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a processing device that can uniformly process

(Means for Solving the Problems) As shown in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention is arranged in the center of the processing chamber 1, with the blowing part 8 on one side and the blowing part 8 on the other side. A processing medium generating device 6 provided with a suction section 9, and a rotating transfer table formed in an annular shape surrounding the processing medium generating device 6, on which a processing article is mounted, and rotating around the processing medium generating device 6. 1
1, and a processing medium suction section 20 provided outside the rotary transfer table 11 in correspondence with the blowout section 8.
and a blowing section 22 provided corresponding to the suction section 9.
The above-mentioned conventional problems can be solved by the configuration provided with the following.

(Function) The uniform processing apparatus for foods, etc. configured as described above includes a trolley 1 containing articles on a rotating transfer table 11.
7 is placed as shown in FIG. 1, and when the processing medium generating device 6 that generates hot air or hot air is operated, the processing medium generating device 6 is placed in the front half of the swirl path 3 of the rotary transfer table 11. The flow of the processing medium from the blow-off section 8 toward the suction sections 20 , 20 on the outside of the rotary transfer table 11 flows from the blow-off sections 22 , 22 on the outside of the rotary transfer table 11 to the processing medium generating device 6 in the rear half of the swirling path 3 . A flow of the processing medium towards the suction section 9 occurs.

Therefore, when the rotary transfer table 11 is rotated by the reducer motor 15, the cart 17 placed on the rotary transfer table 11 turns around the turning path 3, and the part where the processing medium flows from the inside to the outside and the part where the processing medium flows from the inside to the outside. The processing medium repeatedly passes through the part where it flows inward, and acts evenly on the articles mounted on one trolley 17 while alternating its flow direction. Therefore, all the articles on each trolley 17 come into contact with the processing medium evenly and are processed evenly, so there is no need to remove and reposition the trolley 17 during processing as in the conventional method. Uniform and appropriate processing is possible, and by adjusting the temperature, dryness humidity, air volume, etc. of the processing medium, it is possible to dehumidify, dry, roast, and thaw frozen products, etc. of foods, etc. If the device 6 is converted to one that generates smoke, it is also possible to perform smoke treatment.

(Example) An example of implementation of an apparatus related to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a processing chamber, which has a square planar shape, and has a circular chamber 2 with ventilation walls in the center of which accommodates a processing medium generation device, which will be described later. A rotating path 3 of a rotary transfer table, which will be described later, is provided on the outside of the chamber 2, and a space that will become a suction section and a blowing section, which will be described later, is formed between this rotating path 3 and the corner of the processing chamber 1. An entrance 5 is provided which is opened and closed by a sliding door 4.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a processing medium generator installed in the circular chamber 2 described above, which selectively uses heat exchange equipment, dehumidification equipment, drying equipment, smoking equipment, etc. according to the processing conditions of the article, and As shown in FIG. 1, partition walls 7, 7 whose outer ends are in contact with the circular chamber 2 are provided to divide the circular chamber 2 into two parts, one of which serves as a blowout part 8 for the processing medium, and the other part serves as a suction part. The blowing section 6 is equipped with blowers 10, 10 to blow out the processing medium.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a rotary transfer table installed in the above-mentioned rotating path 3, which is placed on inner and outer roller rows 12 and 13 arranged concentrically on the floor as shown in FIG. A chain 14 is fixed to the chain 14, and a chain wheel 16 rotated by a reducer motor 15 is meshed with the chain 14, so that the chain 14 is continuously rotated in a fixed direction by the rotation of the reducer motor 15.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a trolley on which articles are placed, and as shown in FIG. 1, the articles are placed on the rotary transfer table 11 from the entrance 5 of the processing chamber 1, and each time an article is loaded, the rotary transfer table 11 is rotated by one load of the cart 17. Then, the next cart 17 is placed on the rotating transfer platform 11 and arranged as shown in FIG.
9 for positioning.

Reference numerals 20 and 20 designate a suction section for the processing medium of the ventilation wall that utilizes the front space outside the swirling path 3 corresponding to the blowout section 8 of the processing medium generation device 6; The system sucks the medium and causes the processing medium to flow through the swirling path 3 from inside to outside, and the sucked processing medium is placed in the upper part of the processing chamber 1 as shown in FIG. The processing medium is sent through a passage 21 to a blowout section for processing medium, which will be described later.

The blowers 23, 23 are installed in the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 or the state shown by the chain line.

(Effects of the Invention) The apparatus for uniformly processing foods, etc. according to the present invention can uniformly process articles without having to take out the cart and change its position during processing, thereby saving the effort and time of changing the position of the cart.

By changing the processing medium, it is possible to perform various types of processing on articles, such as dehumidifying and drying, roasting, thawing, and smoking.

By rotating the rotary transfer table within the processing chamber, the operating conditions of the processing medium on each cart can be made completely constant, making it possible to uniformize all processed products.

Since the processing medium is passed through only one cart, changes in the temperature, humidity, flow rate, etc. of the processing medium on the inlet, intermediate, and outlet sides are small, and the flow resistance of the medium is small.

Thermoeconomics can also be easily measured by simply circulating the treatment medium.

It has unique effects such as:
