Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a squeezing machine used in various fields such as brewing of soy sauce and alcoholic beverages, fruit juice production, sludge dehydration, and other fields.

(Prior art) The production of soy sauce, sake, etc. is a traditional industry in Japan.
Even today, many of these manufacturing techniques are still inherited almost unchanged. For example, in the process of squeezing the mash in soy sauce brewing, the batch method is still common, using several pressurized tanks and squeezing the mash over a period of days. However, although this method requires almost no manpower during the squeezing process, it requires intensive work by a large number of people after the squeezing process has been completed, so the problem is that the amount of manpower applied is extremely uneven and inefficient. There is. Therefore, various attempts have been made to improve the efficiency of this drawing process by making it continuous. However, if you try to squeeze the soy sauce continuously using a roller or belt, for example, if you increase the squeezing force, the raromi will protrude from the sides, and the grains of the belt will open, resulting in a cloudy soy sauce with poor transparency. The problem is that it can be done. Therefore, with a continuous type, the amount of water remaining is unavoidably large, making it uneconomical.Also, since continuous treatment must be carried out over a long period of time, the deceleration mechanism of the motor becomes dependent on the equipment, for example. At present, complexity and size are unavoidable, and it cannot be put to practical use at all.

Conventionally, sludge and dust dehydration treatment devices have been continuously operated using rollers and filter-like belts, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-31402 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-9235. A type wringer is known.

However, even in the case of such a dewatering apparatus for sludge, etc., the situation remains that when the pressurizing force is increased, the material to be treated protrudes from both sides. In addition, when dewatering such sludge, etc., the dewatering effect is promoted by dropping a separating agent on the belt.
If the target is food, it is not possible to use a separating agent.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) It is possible to increase the squeezing force without causing the objects to be processed to protrude or the like, and therefore, it is possible to improve work efficiency and equalize the work force, and also, Today, the development of an economical continuous drawing machine that can increase the drawing degree is progressing.
This is a technical issue common to all fields that use squeezing machines, including brewing. An object of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has realized a wringer that can solve the above problems by effectively utilizing a cloth filter. That is, the present invention is characterized in that a cloth filter is interposed in the form of a bag between the upper and lower pressure members to feed the object to be processed. The upper and lower pressure members include rollers and conveyor belts.

(Function) The object to be processed, such as Raromi, is sent in with a cloth filter interposed between upper and lower pressure members such as rollers and hair belts. At this time, the cloth filter becomes bag-shaped and envelops the object to be processed, thereby preventing the object to be processed from protruding from both sides of the pressure member. therefore,
It is possible to increase the squeezing force by the pressure member and perform efficient work. In addition, the cloth filter suppresses the transmission and dissipation of squeezing slag.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention.

The wringer of this embodiment has a first
A second driving roller 103 is provided at the lower center of the body frame 101. In addition, a first driven roller 10 is provided at the upper part of the fuselage frame 101 on the rear side.
4 is provided, and a second driven roller 105 is provided further forward and below. The first drive side roller 102 and the first driven side roller 104 have a first drive side roller 102 and a first driven side roller 104.
A toothed belt 106 is attached to the second driving roller 1.
03 and the second driven roller 104 have a second toothed bell +
-107 is installed. Each drive side roller 102. +
03 and each of the driven rollers 104 and +05 approach the second toothed belt 107 on the lower side at the position of the first toothed belt 106 on the upper side or the first driven roller 104 on the upper side, and gradually come into close contact with it. It is provided in a positional relationship such that it curves rearward and downward along the lower second drive side roller 103. The upper first drive roller 102 is pressed downward by a pressure cylinder 108 . A pair of belts 106 and 107 are connected to the upper and lower driving rollers 102 and 102 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. These rollers 10 by rotation of +03
2 and 103 and transported using a pressurized hearing aid.

The upper first drive roller 102 is driven by an air-type drive cylinder III via a one-way clutch mechanism +09 and a lever 110. When the lever +10 is rotated upward by the drive cylinder Ill, the first drive roller 1
02 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. On the other hand, the lever 110
When rotating downward, the first driving roller 102 stops because the clutch rotates idly. The rotation of the first driving roller 102 is controlled by the lower second roller 102 by the chain +12.
is transmitted to the drive-side roller 103. This chain +1
2 is a chain wheel 1.2 that rotates integrally with the first drive roller 102. The chain wheel +15 of the second driving roller 103 is rotatably engaged with this chain 112 from the outside. Therefore, when the first driving roller 102 rotates, the first driving roller 103 rotates in the opposite direction, pressing the two overlapping belts 106 and 107 and transferring them rearward.

The mash 117 contained in a long bag-shaped cloth filter 116 with a closed end is sandwiched between the upper and lower belts 106 and 107 together with the filter II6. Then, it is sent forward while being gradually squeezed, and finally squeezed by a pair of drive-side rollers 102 and 103. During this time, the upper and lower belts 106 and 107 gradually approach each other and overlap each other. At first, as shown in FIG.
7 and transfer it. The upper and lower belts 106 and 107 gradually have a gap between them, and the second driving roller 1
The phase of the teeth gradually shifts at the curved portion along the curve 03, and finally, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper and lower teeth are completely engaged. Therefore, the mash 117 in the filter 116 is subjected to a large squeezing force between the upper and lower belts 106 and 107. This squeezing force is adjusted by a pressure cylinder 108. The pressurized cylinder 108 also acts as a shock absorber at the same time. The position of the upper first driven roller 104 is adjusted by an adjustment cylinder 118. The regulating cylinder IIs also acts as a damping device. In addition, the upper and lower toothed belts 106 that approach each other and overlap each other
, 107, guide brackets 119, 120 are provided above and below the overlapping portion thereof.

In this embodiment, the rollers are intermittently driven by an air cylinder, but a hydraulic cylinder may also be used as the drive cylinder.

Further, instead of such inching operation using the cylinder, it is also possible to perform continuous operation using a motor.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

In this embodiment, the machine body 201 includes each pair of rollers 2.
02, 203; 204, 205; a first pressure means constituted by upper and lower conveyor belts 206, 207; behind the first pressure means, upper and lower pairs of pressure rollers 208, 20;
9:210,2+1 is provided with second pressurizing means arranged in two stages. The upper and lower belts 2 of these pressure means
06°207 and upper and lower pressure rollers 208, 210
．． Two band-shaped cloth filters 212 and 213 are sandwiched between the filters 209 and 211 in a vertically overlapping manner. The upper filter 212 is wound around a roll shaft 214 at the curved blade position of the machine body 201, and is wound around a roll shaft 215 at the rear of the machine body 201. This winding of the filter 212 is carried out by not rotating the pair of rollers 2+6.217 supporting the roll-shaped filter at the rear in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5 using a motor. The lower filter 213 is wound around a roll shaft 218 located further in the nfj direction than the upper filter 212.

And, again, the roll behind the aircraft 201 ++h 219
It is wound up. Winding up of this lower filter 2+3 is also performed by a pair of rollers 220, 221. The winding speeds of the upper and lower filters 212 and 213 are made equal.

The upper and lower filters 212 and 213 are guided in a substantially horizontal direction via oil-powered guide rollers 222 and 223, respectively, or the upper and lower guide rollers 222 and 223 are also coaxially provided with chain wheels 224 and 225, respectively. On the other hand, at the rear of the fuselage 201, there are two upper and lower chain wheels 226, 22 further behind the second pressurizing means.
7 is provided. Chains 228 are disposed between the upper pair of chain rollers 224 and 226 and between the lower pair of chain rollers 225 and 227, respectively.
．． 229 is installed. These chains 228,2
29, as shown in FIG. 6 (side view) and FIG. ) is provided with a concave attachment 231 that engages with the convex attachment 230. The upper and lower chains 228, 229 are guided by guide rails 232, 233, and are fed at the same speed as the filters 212, 213, and actuated by the actuator attachments 230, 233.
Both ears of the filters 212 and 213 are sandwiched from above and below by the meshing of the filters 231.

The mash 234 is pumped and supplied from a nozzle 235 onto the lower filter. At that time, nozzle 23
5 can move on the rail 236 in the width direction.

The second filter 212 is superimposed on the mash 234 supplied onto the lower filter 213.

At the same time, the attachments 230 and 231 of the upper and lower chains 228 and 229 are engaged, so that the filters 212 and 213 wrap around the mash 234 to form a bag and are sent to the rear pressurizing means. In front of the first pressurizing means, a metering feed device 237 in the form of a chain with a free a-ra is arranged. Due to the action of this quantitative feeding device 237, the mash 234 is fed into the pressurizing means in fixed amounts. The upper and lower healds 206 and 207 constituting the first pressurizing means are arranged such that the interval is wide on the inlet side, and the interval is gradually narrowed on the outlet side.

Part of the moisture in the thickening layer 234 supplied from the nozzle 235 naturally falls, is compressed and dehydrated between the upper and lower belts 206 and 207, and then transferred to the two-stage pressure rollers 208, 210;
Finally, it is dehydrated at 9,211. The squeezed juice is
The lower tray is dropped into a tray 238, and the remaining residue is stored in a rear container 239.

In addition, also in this embodiment, the upper and lower belts 206.20
7 can be constructed so that the phase of the teeth is initially in the state shown in FIG. 3 and then shifts to the state shown in FIG. 4, as in the first embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to these examples, but can be implemented in various ways. Further, the present invention can be applied to the brewing of soy sauce, alcoholic beverages, etc., the production of fruit juice, and squeezing operations for sludge treatment and various other uses.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above, continuous squeezing work can be performed by increasing the squeezing force without causing the object to be processed to protrude. Therefore, work efficiency is improved and work force is evened out. In addition, the degree of aperture is high and the economy is excellent.
