Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a carrier for dehydrating cheese, which is used to dehydrate a large number of cheeses that have undergone processing steps such as scouring, bleaching, and dyeing using a centrifugal dehydrator.

BACKGROUND ART The applicant of the present application has proposed that when cheese-finished wound yarn (hereinafter simply referred to as cheese) is washed with water after a treatment process such as scouring, bleaching or dyeing, and then subjected to centrifugal dehydration before moving to a drying process, A patent application filed in 1983 provides a cheese dehydration carrier for bleaching or dyeing that can dehydrate the cheese loaded on the cheese loading spindle without transferring the cheese from said spindle to another spindle. Proposed by No. 201973.

The cheese loading carrier related to the above patent application is
As shown in FIG. 7, a circular bottom plate 41 and a support cylinder 43 protruding from the upper surface of the bottom plate 41 are attached to a sliding frame 42 embedded in a plurality of places around the circumference of the bottom plate 41 so as to be slidable in the radial direction. are installed in series, and the sliding frame 4
2 toward the center of the bottom plate 41
3, a connector 44 attached to the periphery of the bottom plate 41 at an appropriate interval in the circumferential direction, and a movable support 40 disposed opposite to the bottom plate 41 at a predetermined interval. A press plate 45 provided with a support hole 46 corresponding to the body 40
A connecting member 47 is attached to the peripheral edge of the presser plate 45 in a suspended state at an appropriate interval in the circumferential direction and is attached to and detached from the connecting tool 44, and a connecting member 47 is supported by the movable support body 40 and has an upper end thereof. The presser plate 45
The cheese loading spindle 47 was loosely fitted into the support hole 46 of the cheese loading spindle 47.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the cheese dehydration carrier described above, the lower end of the cheese loading spindle 47 is fitted into the support cylinder 43 of the movable support 40 with the presser plate 45 removed, and the cheese loading spindle 47 is supported upright. From this state, the presser plate 45 is placed opposite to the bottom plate 41 so that the upper end of the spindle 47 is loosely fitted into the corresponding support hole 46,
Next, the spindle 47 is set by connecting the connecting tool 44 and the connecting member 47.

However, by simply fitting the lower end of the spindle 47 into the support cylinder 43 of the movable support 40, it is difficult to stand the spindle 47 vertically on the bottom plate 41. It is often done. In particular, when a ready-made spindle is used as the cheese loading spindle 47,
The dimension of the lower end is not constant, and the support tube 4
This tendency is noticeable because looseness often occurs between the spindle 3 and the spindle 47. In addition, since the spindles 47 are erected on each of the support tubes 43 of the movable supports 40 provided at a plurality of locations on the circumference of the bottom plate 41, if the cheese loading spindle 47 is tilted as described above, However, there was a problem in that it took time to place the presser plate 45 facing the bottom plate 41 while loosely fitting the upper end of the spindle 47 into the corresponding support hole 46, and the setting operation of the spindle 47 could not be easily performed.

Furthermore, in the conventional cheese dehydration carrier, since the lengths of the connecting tool 44 and the connecting member 47 are constant, the distance between the bottom plate 41 and the presser plate 45 is also constant. Therefore, there was also a problem in that the number of layers of cheese 48 loaded on the spindle 47 could not be increased or decreased.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and facilitates the work of setting the spindle by configuring the cheese loading spindle to be set from a state in which the presser plate is opposed to the bottom plate. In addition to making it possible to
It is an object of the present invention to provide a carrier for dehydrating cheese that can increase or decrease the distance between the bottom plate and the pressing plate according to the number of stacks of cheese loaded on the spindle.

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means taken by the present invention to achieve the above object are as follows: A circular bottom plate, and a plurality of locations on the upper surface of the circumference of the bottom plate that are movable in the radial direction within a predetermined range. a movable support mounted on the base plate and biased toward the center by spring means; a column erected in the center of the bottom plate; and a movable support body attached to the upper end of the column, the mounting position of which is in the vertical direction. an adjustable presser plate; the presser plate is arranged at a plurality of locations on the lower surface of its periphery in correspondence with the movable support of the bottom plate, is movable in the radial direction and the vertical direction within a predetermined range; a movable support member biased toward the center and downward by means; and a cheese load removably supported between a movable support member of the bottom plate and a movable support member of the presser plate corresponding to the movable support member. It is characterized by having a spindle for use, and

Effect The above technical means works as follows.

When setting the cheese loading spindle, push the movable support of the presser plate upward against the bias of the spring means at the upper end of the spindle, move it, and then return the movable support downward. A lower end of the spindle is supported by a movable support of the bottom plate. In this way, the cheese loaded on the spindle is held in the cheese dehydration carrier in a state where it is clamped and fixed between the bottom plate and the holding plate whose mounting position is adjusted.

During the centrifugal dewatering operation, the movable supports of the bottom plate and the movable supports of the presser plate each move radially outward against the bias of the spring means due to the centrifugal force.
The cheese is dehydrated in a fixed position in contact with the inner wall surface of the rotating basket of the centrifugal dehydrator.

On the other hand, when loading and unloading the carrier for cheese dehydration into and out of the rotating basket, the movable supports of the bottom plate and the movable supports of the presser plate are each moved toward the center by the biasing force of the spring means, so that the cheese loading spindle The cheese loaded therein is held in a position retracted inward from the outer periphery of the bottom plate and presser plate.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The sliding frame 18 consists of a support tube 20 protruding from the hole 19, a push spring 21 that urges the sliding frame 18 toward the center, and a pushing spring 22 that urges the sliding frame 18 downward. is engaged with the peripheral edge of the guide hole 19 to prevent it from falling off.

23 is a support nut screwed onto the mounting bolt 11, and 24 is a tightening nut screwed onto the mounting bolt 11.

The holding plate 12 is horizontally supported by fitting its cylindrical body 13 to the upper end of the support column 8, and the mounting bolt 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 14 of the holding plate 12. Further, the support nut 23 and the tightening nut 24 are screwed together with the mounting bolt 11 to sandwich the presser plate 12. The presser plate 12 is attached to the support column 8 in this state. Therefore, by screwing the support nut 23 into and out of the mounting bolt 11 with the tightening nut 24 loosened and setting the position to a desired position, by tightening the tightening nut 24 from above the holding plate 12, The mounting position of the presser plate 12 is adjusted in the vertical direction.

loaded via. Note that the spindle 26
It is the same spindle used in cheese carriers for bleaching or dyeing processes and for drying processes. Therefore, the cheese 25 loaded on the spindle 26 can be transferred from the bleaching or dyeing process to the dehydration process and then to the drying process without being transferred to another spindle.

The upper end of the spindle 26 loaded with an appropriate number of cheeses 25 as described above is fitted into the support tube 20 of the movable support 17 of the presser plate 12, and from this state the spindle 26 is pushed up to push the sliding frame 18. The fitting portion 28 of the spindle 26 is moved upward against the biasing force of the spring 22, and then, while the sliding frame 18 is returned downward by the biasing force of the push spring 22, the fitting portion 28 of the spindle 26 is connected to the movable support member of the bottom plate 1. It fits into the support tube 5 of No. 3. In this way, the cheese 25 loaded on the spindle 26 is clamped and fixed by the bottom plate 1 and the presser plate 12, and the spindle 26 can be easily set. Also, as above, cheese 2
If the cheese 5 is clamped and fixed between the bottom plate 1 and the presser plate 12, the cheese 25 will not be unrolled during operation.

The cheese dehydration carrier 30 holding a large number of cheeses 25 in this manner is incorporated into a centrifugal dehydrator and subjected to dehydration treatment, as shown in FIG.

Since the centrifugal dehydrator itself has a well-known configuration, a detailed explanation will be omitted, but 31 is a rotating spindle, 32
A rotating basket is rotated in conjunction with a rotating spindle 31, and 33 is a boss portion protruding from the center of the rotating basket 32.

The cheese dehydration carrier 30 is placed in the rotating basket 32 by fitting the hole 2 of the bottom plate 1 into the boss portion 33, rotates together with the rotating basket 32, and is dehydrated by the centrifugal force. Ru. During the centrifugal dewatering operation, the movable support 3 of the bottom plate 1 and the movable support 17 of the presser plate 12 are biased by the pressure springs 6 and 21, respectively, due to the centrifugal force, as shown by the solid line in FIG. Since the cheese 25 loaded on the spindle 26 is moved radially outward against this movement, the cheese 25 loaded on the spindle 26 is dehydrated in a constant posture in contact with the inner wall surface of the rotating basket 32. Therefore, the cheese 25 will not be tilted or deformed during the dehydration operation. On the other hand, when the cheese dehydration carrier 30 is taken in and out of the rotating basket 32 for dehydration processing, the movable support 3 of the bottom plate 1 and the movable support 17 of the presser plate 12 are biased by the pressure springs 6 and 21, respectively. The cheese 25, which has been moved toward the center and loaded onto the cheese loading spindle 26, is separated from the wall surface of the rotating basket 32 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
The bottom plate 1 and the presser plate 12 are in a retracted state from their outer peripheries. Therefore, there is no risk that the cheese 25 will come into contact with the rotating basket 32 or other mechanical parts and damage the wound yarn.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, in the carrier for cheese dehydration of the present invention, the movable support provided on the presser plate is movable in the vertical direction, and the presser plate is attached to the support provided on the bottom plate. Since it is attached to the upper end, the cheese loading spindles can be set one by one from the state where the presser plate is attached to the upper end of the support and the presser plate is placed opposite to the bottom plate.
The set spindles can be removed one by one. Therefore, compared to the case of the above-mentioned application, in which a plurality of cheese loading spindles erected at an angle to the bottom plate are inserted into the support holes of the presser plate, and the presser plate is placed opposite to the bottom plate. Setting and removing the cheese loading spindle becomes easier, and one-touch attachment and detachment becomes possible.

In addition, since the mounting position of the presser plate can be adjusted in the vertical direction, even if the number of stacks of cheese loaded on the spindle changes, the cheese can always be reliably held between the bottom plate and the presser plate. and
Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the cheese from collapsing.

Furthermore, since both the movable support of the bottom plate and the movable support of the presser plate are movable in the radial direction and biased toward the center by spring means, the spindle loaded with cheese can be assembled into the carrier for cheese dewatering. In the state where the cheese is supported, the cheese is held in a position drawn inward from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom plate and the presser plate. Therefore, when the carrier is loaded into and taken out of the centrifugal dehydrator, there is no risk that the cheese loaded on the spindle will damage the wound yarn that comes into contact with the inner surface of the rotating basket of the centrifugal dehydrator or other mechanical parts. Furthermore, during centrifugal dehydration, the spindle loaded with cheese moves radially outward together with the movable support due to the centrifugal force, and the spindle is dehydrated while in contact with the wall of the rotating basket. Cheese is prevented from deforming due to centrifugal force.

Moreover, the cheese loaded on the spindle can be directly dehydrated through the bleaching or dyeing process without being transferred to another spindle, and can be further transferred to the drying process, resulting in labor and energy savings.
