Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a seaweed peeling mechanism in a seaweed manufacturing apparatus that peels seaweed from a cage.

Conventionally, as a peeling mechanism for seaweed and cages, a method and a peeling device for first preliminarily peeling the rear half of the seaweed from the cage, and then preliminary peeling of the front half of the seaweed from the cage, were developed in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 1973- No. 50825 (Japanese Patent Application No. 54-29094, Title of invention: Method and device for peeling seaweed and bamboo shoots), which discloses that the preliminary peeling of the rear half of the seaweed is performed by using front and rear supports that slide against each other. It peels off by pulling on the
Since the peeling operation is performed by pulling the screen back and forth, the seaweed is easily damaged, and when peeling the first half, the pressure roller presses and bends the screen in front of the screen, which is fixed with a clamping body. Therefore, the peeling action and the screen bending action are performed at the same time, making it difficult to peel off the nori legs smoothly when peeling the nori from the screen. It has various disadvantages, such as the curved part of the cage becoming acutely angular, and the peeling of the nori feet forming an extremely large angle with the adhesive surface of the sticks, resulting in the nori feet remaining attached to the sticks.
