Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is a method of removing dust attached to somen noodles during the drying process from a recycled somen powder solution prepared by crushing dried somen knots, etc. and dissolving them in water. This invention relates to a recycled somen flour solution purification device that removes foreign substances such as.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, the rolled somen is rolled out using two sticks, hung on a rack through one of the sticks to dry, and after drying, the U-shaped bent parts (knots) are cut out with the sticks on both sides. It is cut off and only the straight parts are bundled together before being shipped as a product. Although knots are occasionally sold on the market, they are usually crushed and dissolved in water.
It is reused as a raw material for somen noodles.

However, since foreign matter such as dust is attached to the joints to be reused during the drying process, it is necessary to remove such foreign matter in order to reuse them as raw materials for somen noodles.

Conventionally, a mesh filter has been used to remove such foreign substances. However, conventional mesh filters have a problem in that they become clogged in a relatively short period of time, greatly limiting continuous operation time. Furthermore, if the operation is to be continued while a clogged filter is being cleaned, it is necessary to install a plurality of filters.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a recycled somen flour solution purification device that can appropriately eliminate clogging of the filter during operation.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the recycled somen flour solution purification device according to the present invention includes a container, a filter element rotatably provided inside the container,
and an operation shaft for rotating the filter element from outside the container, the filter element having a large number of filter plates, each filter plate having a through hole at a position eccentric from the center, and a through hole extending in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. They are arranged coaxially in multiple stages with appropriate gaps and fixed concentrically to the rotating shaft.
The container is provided with a residue remover that projects into the gap formed between each filter plate of the filter element.

The filtration surface of the filter element is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the filter element, and when the filter element is rotated by operating the operation shaft, foreign matter left behind on this filtration surface is removed from the gap formed between each filter plate of the filter element. The residue remover inserted into the filter element removes the residue from the gap, thereby eliminating clogging of the filter element. The operating shaft may be operated manually as appropriate, or may be operated automatically intermittently or continuously via a drive device such as a motor.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the relationship among the filter plate, the residue remover, and the spacer plate.

This recycled somen flour solution purification device includes a cylindrical container 1, a filter element 2 rotatably provided inside the container, and an operating shaft 3 for rotating the filter element 2 from outside the container. .

The container 1 consists of a deep cylindrical body 4 and a lid 5 that closes the upper opening of the body 4. A cylindrical outlet chamber 6 is formed in the center of the lid 5, and a cylindrical outlet chamber 6 is formed in the center of the lid 5. An outlet 7 is led out. An inlet 8 is provided in a direction opposite to this outlet 7 and communicates with an inlet chamber 9 formed around the filter element 2 in the body 4 .

The filter element 2 includes a large number of filter plates 10, a large number of spacer plates 11,
It has an end plate 12.

Each filter plate 10 is formed into a disc shape having a through hole 14 at a position eccentric from the center part 13, and the outer peripheral part 15 and the center part 13 are connected to a connecting part 16.
are combined with.

Each spacer plate 11 consists of a central portion 17 and extending portions 18 extending from the central portion in all directions.

These filter plates 10 and spacer plates 11 are alternately arranged coaxially and overlapped, and are fixed concentrically to the operating shaft 3.

As a result, gaps 19 for filtrate passage that are continuous around the entire circumference of the filter element 2 are formed in multiple stages at appropriate intervals in the axial direction of the filter element 2.

The end plate 12 is arranged below the lowermost spacer plate 11 or filter plate 10, and is fixed concentrically to the operating shaft 3.

The upper end of the operating shaft 3 extends through the outlet chamber 6 to the outside of the lid 5, and a motor 20 is coupled to this upper end as necessary.

On the other hand, the container 1 has a gap 1 formed between each filter plate 10 of the filter element 2.
A large number of residue removers 21 are provided that plunge into the slot 9. Each residue remover 21 is fixed to a support shaft 22 suspended from the lid 5.

A female screw 23 is formed at the upper end of the body 4 of the container 1, and a male screw 24 is formed at the bottom of the lid 5 to be screwed into the female screw 23. The body 4 and the lid 5 are joined by this.

In the above configuration, the recycled somen flour solution is supplied to the inlet 8.
is introduced into the inlet chamber 9 from the filter element 2
flows into the outlet chamber 6 through the gap 19 formed between each filter plate 10 and the through hole 14;
It is discharged from the container 1 through the outlet 7. Foreign matter such as dust that adheres to the somen noodles during the drying process is separated from the recycled somen flour solution on the filtration surface consisting of the outer peripheral surface of the filter element 2, and the purified recycled somen flour solution is passed from the outlet 7 to the outside of the container 1. will be discharged.

Foreign matter separated from the recycled somen flour solution on the outer circumferential surface of the filter element 2 adheres to the outer circumferential surface of the filter element 2, but when the filter element 2 is rotated via the operating shaft 3, it hits the residue remover 21. It is removed from the outer peripheral surface of the filter element 2 and settles to the bottom of the inlet chamber 9. Foreign matter accumulates at the bottom of the entrance chamber 9 in this way, but this foreign matter can be removed by removing the body 4 from the lid 5 at an appropriate time and cleaning the inside thereof.

Although the filter element 2 may be rotated continuously, it is usually sufficient to rotate the filter element 2 intermittently once or twice a day.

In this way, by rotating the filter element 2 and removing foreign matter deposited on the filtration surface of the filter element 2 with the residue remover 21, clogging of the filtration surface of the filter element 2 can be prevented for a long time. continuous operation is possible. In addition, since the filter element 2 can be rotated during operation to prevent or eliminate clogging of the filter element 2, clogging can be eliminated without resting the filter function, eliminating the need to install multiple filters. .

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, foreign matter clogged in the filter element can be removed by simply rotating the filter element from the outside even during operation. This eliminates the need for stoppages and allows for continuous operation with a single Tatsuta machine.
