Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a machine for processing raw seaweed, and belongs to the industrial field that deals with machines for processing raw seaweed.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, an automatic raw seaweed blending device has been known in which a measuring chamber equipped with a divided wheel is connected to the lower part of a seaweed tank (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 1983-1948).

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Conventionally known blending machines all have a structure in which a dividing wheel is installed at the bottom of a hopper-shaped seaweed tank, and the amount of raw seaweed accumulated is relatively small, making continuous processing possible. It was a seaweed measuring device on the line. Therefore, the ripening machine is connected as an independent device in front of the blending device, and raw seaweed is transferred between each device using a pump, etc., so external mechanical force is often applied to the raw seaweed. There is a risk of quality deterioration, and it is difficult to predict changes in quality during transportation, making it difficult to adjust quality.

(Means for Solving the Problems) However, the present invention combines a conventionally known ripening machine and a blending machine, adds improvements, prevents deterioration in the quality of raw seaweed due to processing or transportation, and In the past, revitalization of raw seaweed was done to adjust the quality and solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

That is, in this invention, a mesh tube is installed inside a bottomed outer tank with a predetermined gap, a nori droplet is provided on the bottom plate in the mesh tube, and a dividing wheel is rotatably installed on the bottom plate. A rotating shaft with a stirring piece is installed vertically in the center of the mesh tube, and the nori falling port is
The apparatus is connected to the suction side of the seaweed feeding pump through an intermediate chamber communicating with the outside world, and the divided wheel and the rotating shaft are individually connected to inputs so as to rotate independently of each other, thereby controlling the activation of the raw seaweed. Configured. The activity regulator is
This is an intermediate processing device in which raw seaweed that has undergone processing such as washing and cutting is brought in from the upper part, taken out in fixed quantities from the lower part, and sent to the seaweed machine. The rotation shaft of the activity regulator is divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper and lower parts rotate in opposite directions, and the rotation speed can also be adjusted. Further, the mesh tube is formed of, for example, punched metal, and the lower part thereof is made non-porous up to a predetermined height (for example, up to the height of the lowest stirring piece).
Therefore, a certain amount of moisture is always retained in the lower part, which facilitates weighing with the dividing wheel and also facilitates and equalizes the movement of raw seaweed. Furthermore, the dividing wheel and the stirring piece directly above it rotate in opposite directions to ensure smooth transfer of raw seaweed to the dividing wheel.
As described above, since power is individually transmitted to the upper and lower rotating shafts and the split wheel, not only the rotation direction but also the rotation speed can be individually selected.

In addition, the raw seaweed that is quantitatively transferred by the dividing vehicle is supplied to the suction side of the seaweed feeding pump through the drop port, but there is an intermediate chamber with a predetermined capacity directly below the drop port, and the middle chamber is connected to the outside world. A connecting air pipe is installed to adjust the internal and external air pressure.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the raw seaweed filled in the mesh tube is sequentially discharged from the bottom,
It is designed to activate by moderately stirring and adjust the quality, and can retain a relatively large amount of raw seaweed.

(Operation of the invention) According to this invention, since the raw seaweed is stored in a mesh tube, the upper part is appropriately dehydrated to prevent quality change, and the lower part contains an appropriate amount of moisture. , to facilitate dispensing and dropping. In addition, since moderate stirring can be performed separately for the top and bottom, the raw seaweed is stirred almost uniformly at each depth without any kneading effect.

The operation and effect of the embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on the above embodiment.

In the above embodiment, raw seaweed after being cut and washed is put in as indicated by the arrow 31 in FIG. In this case, the raw seaweed is transported by a hopper of a dehydrator (not shown) or a pump hose from a washer. When raw seaweed is added in the above, the motor 32 is started, the sprocket wheel 33, the chain 34, the sprocket wheel 13, and the sprocket wheel 36 are rotated, and the seaweed is fed through the gears 42, 43 of the intermediate shafts 35, 35a. The sprocket wheel 48 is rotated, the sleeve 11 and the transmission shaft 14 are rotated via the sprocket wheel 48, the chain 37, and the sprocket wheel 15, thereby rotating the split wheel 6 and the lower rotating shaft 3a. In the figure, 42 and 43 are gears. On the other hand, when the motor 38 is started, the sprocket wheel 3
9. The upper rotating shaft 3 is rotated via the chain 40 and the sprocket wheel 28. In this case, if the upper surface of the raw seaweed is, for example, near the chain line 41 in FIG.
Furthermore, the mixture is stirred in the opposite direction (clockwise or counterclockwise rotation), and the dividing wheel 6 is configured to rotate in the opposite direction to that of the stirring piece 4. In the figure, 47 is a resistance plate vertically installed on the lower side wall of the mesh tube 2 so as to face the tip of the stirring piece 4.

In the above, when the dividing wheel 6 rotates (for example, in the direction of arrow 44 in FIG. 3), the adjacent dividing blades 10,
A fixed amount of raw seaweed is being measured by the portion sandwiched between the blades 10 and the fan-shaped plate 17, and when it moves in the direction of the arrow 44 and comes directly above the drop port 23, the portion between the blades is Raw seaweed is placed in the middle room 2 as shown by arrow 45.
Fall into 5. Then, by the operation of the pump 26, it is sucked in as shown by the arrow 46 and sent to the next process (seaweed machine). In this case, since the inside of the intermediate chamber 25 is kept at the same pressure as the outside world by the air pipe 30, there is no risk of excessive suction into the pump side. If the air pipe 30 is not provided, the intermediate chamber 25 will be under negative pressure, which may result in uneven transfer of raw seaweed to the pump.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, since the raw seaweed is housed in the mesh tube, it is appropriately dehydrated and has the effect of preventing changes in quality. Furthermore, since the dividing wheel and the stirring piece rotate separately, sufficient stirring is achieved and raw seaweed can be easily evenly stored in the dividing wheel.
Furthermore, since the raw seaweed droplet is connected to the suction side of the pump via the intermediate chamber, the fallen raw seaweed is evenly mixed with water in the intermediate chamber, and is effectively transported by the pump in an orderly manner.
