Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a strawberry mud dyeing method.

``Conventional technology'' Traditionally, the mud dyeing process was carried out by immersing each bunch of cut strawberries naked in a mud tank (Jikko Sho 54-
No. 5845). As a result, the mud dyeing of each bundle becomes uneven, making it difficult to uniformly dye the mud, and it is also difficult to dye a large amount of strawberries at once. It required power to overcome buoyancy.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' The present invention provides a strawberry mud dyeing device that can perform a large amount of mud dyeing work at once without requiring power to submerge the strawberry in muddy water, and can uniformly dye the strawberry. The purpose is to

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a muddy water tank with a strawberry container entrance and exit and a container support floor, and is equipped with a muddy water supply device and a muddy water discharge device to the muddy water tank, and comprises these devices. Using a strawberry mud dyeing machine equipped with a muddy water stirring supply tank connected to the
The container holding the rushes vertically is housed in an empty mud water tank and placed on the support bed. In this state, the stirred mud water in the supply tank is supplied into the mud tank to remove the rushes from the mud. After dyeing, the strawberry mud dyeing method is characterized in that the muddy water is discharged into the supply tank by the discharge device.

``Function'' Therefore, the container 2 containing the rush grass 19 is placed in the empty muddy water tank 1 through the entrance 3 and placed on the support bed 4. In this state, the muddy water supply device 5 supplies the stirred muddy water 14 in the supply tank 7 to the muddy water tank 1.
When the container 2 is supplied inside, the container 2 is immersed in the muddy water 14, the muddy water 14 enters the inside of the container 2, and the rush grass 19 inside is also immersed in the muddy water 14 and dyed. Thereafter, the muddy water discharge device 6 is operated to discharge the muddy water 14 in the muddy water tank 1 into the supply tank 7, and the container 2 is carried out of the tank 1 through the entrance 3 and transferred to the next drying process. be. The muddy water 14 returned into the supply tank 7 is stirred and kept uniform.

"Example" Mud water pipe 8 connected to the lower part of muddy water stirring supply tank 7
The discharge port 9 of the mud water tank 1 is opened in the upper part of the mud water tank 1 to form the mud water supply device 5, and the discharge port 9' of the mud water pipe 8' connected to the lower part of the mud water tank 1 is opened in the upper part of the supply tank 1. Then, a muddy water discharge device 6 is formed. A mud water pump 10 is installed in the mud water pipes 8, 8'. A strawberry container entrance 3 is provided on the side of the mud tank 1, and an opening/closing door 1 is provided at the entrance 3.
1 and 11, and the opening/closing door 11 is closed watertightly. As shown in Fig. 1, the strawberry container 2 has a fluid circulation bed 2' at the bottom of the box with an open top, and the fork insertion parts 2'', 2'' of a forklift are opened under the bed, and the mud tank is opened by the forklift. The container is carried onto a support floor 4 within the container. The container support floor 4 is preferably formed by arranging rolling wheels 4' in parallel, as shown in FIG. The mud water pipes 8, 8' share the stand pipe 8'' and the pump 10, and solenoid valves 12, 12' are installed between the pump 10 and the supply tank 7 and between the pump 10 and the mud tank 1. A three-way valve 13 is interposed between the upper end of the standpipe 8'' and both discharge ports 9, 9'. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, muddy water 14 is stored in the supply tank 7, and when the solenoid valves 12, 12' are opened, the muddy water 14 flows as shown in FIG. In this state, when one solenoid valve 12' is closed and the three-way valve 13 is operated to operate the pump 10, muddy water 14 is stored in the muddy water tank 1 and mud dyeing is performed as shown in FIG. After that, open both solenoid valves 12, 12' (7th
), the muddy water 14 is returned to the supply tank 7 by the reverse operation as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, mud water storage tanks 15, 15' are provided in the intermediate portions of the mud water pipes 8, 8', respectively, and mud water pumps 10, 10 using submersible pumps are arranged in the storage tanks 15, 15'. There is no problem. The reference numeral 16 in the figure is a muddy water stirrer, 17 is its prime mover, and 18 is a float switch that turns the pump 10 on and off. Further, 19 is a rush plant in the container 2.

"Effects of the Invention" Since the present invention is based on the method described above, a large amount of rush grass 19 is stored vertically in the container 2, and after storing it in the empty muddy water tank 1, the muddy water is poured into the tank 1. Since the slurry is supplied, the muddy water can quickly and easily advance into the vertically oriented straw grass without any resistance and be immersed, and not only can a large amount of muddying be done at once, but also the muddy water 14 is stirred in the supply tank 7 and maintained uniformly. , and uniform mud dyeing can be performed by circulating mud water between the mud water tank 1 and the supply tank 7.
