Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of transporting a processing line for packaging food such as tofu after molding or before molding and cooling or heating and cooling the food.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, molded foods such as tofu are stored together with water in a synthetic resin box for about one serving, the upper opening is covered with a synthetic resin sheet, and the outer peripheral flange is heat-sealed and sealed. The water was poured into the individual cooling water tank, the water was slowly transferred from one end to the other end by a net conveyor provided in the water tank, and the water was cooled and manually removed from the water tank.

There is a device for heating or cooling by providing a case conveyor made of a stainless steel plate in the cooling water tank or the heating water tank and storing the molded tofu in the case. However, the heat quantity of the cold water or the heated water is in the stainless steel case. There was a problem that the heat transfer efficiency to tofu was poor because it was taken away.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to commercialize a food unit such as tofu, which is packaged without requiring human power and a conveyor, in a continuous state of being cooled and heated and cooled, and then cut into units. With the goal.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a unit package of food products in the form of a strip in the direction of a transfer line.
A step of transferring while connecting with a sheet, and the band-shaped sheet
A step of Ru is shifted in the water tank by a connection state of the packaging direction gear in the water by the guide rollers the packaging
A step of dipping and transferring the inside of the tank in the direction of the transfer line ,
A step of migrating the package to the outside of the water tank by a direction changing gear , and disconnecting the connection part between the packages moved to the outside of the water tank .
If the unit packaging is connected in the transfer direction,
Unit Food transport processing method aquarium bright described becomes more first heating water tank and a second cooling water tank, a square of the packaging connected
The direction conversion gear is shifted from the interior of the first heat water tank to the outside and shifts to the inside of the second cooling water bath subsequently the
It is constituted by the unit food transportation and processing method described in the invention .

[0006]

In the present invention, the food packaged in the unit package 1 connected in series 2 is fed from the outside of the starting end of the water tank 3 into the inside by the direction changing gear , and is further pulled to be immersed and transferred to the water 4 in the water tank 3 by the guide roller. , Cooled by cold water 4, hot water 4 '
The food packaged in the unit package 1 is cooled or heat-treated by heating with the unit package 1 and is transferred from the end of the water tank 3 to the outside by the direction changing gear to disconnect the connection 2 between the unit packages 1 and 1. Can be obtained.

Liquid food and a curing agent are injected into the unit package 1, and the mixture is transferred into the first heated water tank 3 "and cured by heating, and subsequently transferred into the cooling water tank 3'and cooled. It is cut in the same manner as described above to obtain a unit packaged food.

For example, when the food in the unit package 1 is a pre-formed tofu, it is moved into the cooling water tank 3 ', cooled, and then cut into a product as described above.
The unit packaging of food is pre-connected in the direction of transition
Even if there is, the same effect as described above can be exhibited.

[0009]

[Example] A large number of square tofus were produced and
A synthetic resin belt-like sheet 5 for accommodating one box together with water in a rectangular synthetic resin box 1 ', intermittently transferring it in the direction of the transfer line L, and covering the upper end opening of the box 1'at the stop position, and the box 1 The upper end flange 1 "of"'is welded by the elevating heater 6 to seal the tofu and water in the box 1'.

In the sealed tofu unit, a plurality of unit packages 1 and 1 are continuously arranged in a row in the direction of the transfer line L while the adjacent upper flanges 1 "and 1" are connected by the strip-shaped sheet 5 (see FIG. ) Figure) or multiple columns (Figure 6 (b) figure)
Connected to the cooling water tank 3 ', and the direction changing tooth provided on the upper end of the starting end.
It is turned into the cooling water tank 3 ′ by the start pin gear 7 as a car , and horizontally and slowly moves in the water tank 3 ′ by the guide roller 8, and the guide roller 8 moves the end pin gear 7 as the direction changing gear to It is pulled upward from the end of the water tank 3'and further moved horizontally.

The blades 10 provided at equal intervals on the horizontal conveyor 9 support the lower surface of the connection portion 2 and intermittently shift the box 1'in the horizontal direction for each span of one unit. The blades 11 and 11 descend and the connecting portion 2
The upper surface of the cut unit package 1 is sucked by the suction cup 12 by air suction and lifted by the elevating device 13, and the guide 13 guides the device 13 to the container 1
5, the suction cup 12 is lowered to move the plurality of the above-mentioned packages 1
The operation of accommodating the inside of the container 15 is repeated.

A liquid raw material such as egg tofu is injected into the box 1'through the nozzle 16 and sealed with the sheet 5 as described above, and then transferred from the first heating water tank 3 "to the second cooling water tank 3 '. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first water tank 3 ″ once moves to the outside of the tank 3 ″, bypasses the pin gear 7 as the direction changing gear, and further moves to the second water tank 3 ′. The outside of the start end of the first water tank 3 ″ and the outside of the end end of the second water tank 3 ′ are obtained by the same process as described above.

The flange 1 "on the outer periphery of the upper end opening of the synthetic resin box 1'may be integrally connected in the transfer direction to form a series of unit packages 1, 1 as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the strip-shaped sheet 5 can be connected in one row or can be connected in a plurality of rows as shown in FIG. 6 (b). Aquarium 3
It is good to make a reciprocating meander inside the.

Reference numeral 7'in the figure denotes a pin of the pin gear 7, 7 "is a drive shaft, 17 is a lifting cross rod, and 18 is the rod 1.
7, an operating cylinder 19; an air suction hose; 20 an elevating support stand for the downward blade 11 and the suction cup 12; 21 a traveling vehicle of the elevating device 13; 22 a traveling cylinder of the traveling vehicle 21;
Reference numeral 23 is a horizontal guide plate, 24 is an endless chain of the horizontal conveyor 9, 25 is an intermittent rotation sprocket for the chain 24, 26
Is a cooling pipe.

[0015]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the unit packaging 1 for food is transferred into the water tank 3, and the water tank 3 is further moved.
Outside each step unit package 1 advance unit package 1 is to be cut into manpower in grate retrieved from the water tank 3 needs not name without the in transferring to. Also immersed unit packaging 1 packaging in the direction of the transition lines without also needing a <br/> conveyor in the water tank from a way to convey to connect to an <br/> communicating with the belt-like sheet
Can be moved, and direction change gears make it easy to change direction
It is possible to convert all the conveyors in each process including the inside of the water tank.
There is an effect that the connection part 2 can be easily cut outside the water tank 3 and the processing processing, that is, cooling or heating-cooling processing by the water tank 3 can be easily performed without requiring much and the equipment can be simplified.
