Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to the structure of a boiling pot used for boiling soup, which is an intermediate step in soybean milk production.

(Prior Art) The process of producing soy milk involves first crushing soybeans that have been soaked in water to soften them, and then boiling the crushed soybeans (this is called gojiru). Next, the boiled soybeans are squeezed to obtain juice (this is soy milk). Tofu is made by hardening this with bittern. In order to perform the above-mentioned process continuously, the juice storage tank (seed box), boiling pot, and squeezer for squeezing the boiled juice are connected via a pipe. There are various types of boiling pots used for soybean milk production systems, such as direct pots in which steam is directly poured into the boiling pot, flat pots that heat over an open flame, and indirect pots with a double structure. can be,
Furthermore, these pots can be classified into batch type, in which the soup is collected in the pot and boiled, and continuous type, in which the soup is continuously poured into the pot and boiled. 4 Heating container 9 as shown in Figure 4
a and a ripening tank 9b provided inside the ripening tank 9b. The juice enters the aging tank 9b, which has a plate 9c inside, and the lateral flow is restricted by the partition plate 9c, and the juice flows downward. After passing through the gap between the bottom surface and the bottom surface, the juice flows upward in the aging tank 9b and is finally discharged to the outside via the discharge pipe 12.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in any continuous boiling pot, such as a direct pot, a flat pot, or a double-structured indirect pot as shown in the conventional technology, the amount of juice in the aging tank cannot be reduced. Because there is not enough convection time, even if the temperature of the soup reaches about 100℃,
The problem is that the ground soybeans are discharged to the outside before their core temperature rises sufficiently, and the soymilk produced in this way does not have sufficient flavor and umami when viewed as a product. There is. Further, in the aging tank 9b shown in the prior art, there is a problem in that precipitates of juice accumulate in the gap between the partition plate 9c and the bottom of the aging tank 9b, which obstructs the convection of the juice.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to solve the above problems, and as a means to do so, it uses a reciprocating mechanism that penetrates from the top surface to the bottom surface of the lid of the soup boiling pot. Establish an organization,
Flat plates having different lengths from the center to the outer edge are attached alternately to the reciprocating rod, which is the movable part of the reciprocating engine, and a hole is provided in the center of the long flat plate.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a front sectional view of the soup boiling pot according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a front sectional view of the aging tank, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the reciprocating engine attached to the lid of the aging tank. . As shown in FIG. 1, the boiling pot 1 shown in this embodiment is composed of a heating container 1a and a ripening tank 1b placed inside the heating container 1a, and a combustion chamber 2 is provided in the lower part of the heating container 1a. It is provided. A heating medium solution 3 is placed in the heating container 1a with a space 1c between it and the top surface. Said heating container 1
A boiling tube 4 is wound around the aging tank 1b arranged in the aging tank 1b, and one end 4a of the boiling tube 4 is connected to the aging tank 1b.
The other end 4b is connected to a juice storage tank (not shown) via a pump.
The upper end of this aging tank 1b protrudes from the upper surface of the heating container 1a.
A discharge pipe 1d is provided on the side of the aging tank 1.
Another discharge pipe 1e is provided on the lower surface of b.
The discharge pipe 1d is a pipe through which the egg juice convected from the bottom to the top in the boiling state inside the ripening tank 1b is discharged, and the discharge pipe 1e is a pipe through which the egg juice accumulated in the ripening tank 1b is discharged after the boiling is completed. It is a pipe for A reciprocating engine 5 is provided in the lid part 1f provided on the upper surface of the aging tank 1b, penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface of the lid part 1f. Flat plates 6a and 6b having different lengths from the center to the outer edge are attached alternately. Among these flat plates, the long flat plate 6 from the center to the outer edge
There is a hole 6c (Fig. 2) in the center of a for convection of juice.
is provided. A cleaning pipe 7 is provided on the top surface of the aging tank 1b, and when the solenoid valve 7a is opened with cleaning water injected into the aging tank 1b and the solenoid valves 1g and 1h are closed at the same time, the cleaning water flows through the cleaning pipe 7. (This is configured in this way to clean up to the top of the aging tank 1b). The solenoid valves 1g, 1h, and 7a are opened and closed depending on the purpose of the discharge pipes 1d, 1e and the cleaning pipe 7 to which they are connected, respectively.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. The combustion chamber 2 provided at the lower part of the heating container 1a is heated by a burner 2a to raise the heat medium solution 3 to an appropriate temperature. In this state, when the pump 8 is driven to pump the juice into the aging tank 1b through the boiling pipe 4, the juice passes outside the outer edge of the flat plate 6b, and then the juice passes through the outer edge of the flat plate 6b.
A zigzag convection is repeated such that the convection passes through the hole 6c in the center of the aging tank 1b (see arrows A and B in FIG. 2), so that sufficient convection time is provided in the aging tank 1b. After convection within the aging tank 1b, the juice is discharged to the outside via the discharge pipe 1d. In addition, since the reciprocating engine 5 reciprocates the reciprocating rod 5a at appropriate intervals using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, the flat plates 6a and 6b also reciprocate at the same time, so that the juice is instantly poured into the aging tank 1b. Since upstream and downstream flow occurs, the precipitates that have settled on the bottom of the aging tank 1b are diffused to ensure smooth convection of the juice. As a result, the juice is aged in tank 1.
Due to the zigzag convection inside b, the soup is uniformly and sufficiently steamed and aged, and the soybean milk made using this soup can have sufficient flavor and umami. In this example, the reciprocating engine is installed in a boiling pot with a double pot structure using a heat medium solution as the heat source, but the structure of the boiling pot is not limited to this, and steam can be directly fed into the boiling pot. Any type of boiling pot may be used, such as a pot directly placed in the water or a batch pot heated over an open flame.

(Effects of the invention) The present invention has the advantage of being able to uniformly and sufficiently steam and age the soup because it is configured as described above, and as a result, the soymilk product can have sufficient flavor and umami. It has a great effect.

In addition, by reciprocating the reciprocating rod within the aging tank, it has the excellent effect of preventing sediment from settling on the bottom of the aging tank and smoothing the convection of the juice.
