Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention uses a rotating disk as the culture bed for the koji substrate in koji production, and uses the culture bed to carry out the work of loading the koji substrate, releasing the koji, and cleaning the koji. Due to the correlation between the rotation of the rotating disk, the conveying screw, and the rotating operation of the care machine,
This invention relates to a receiving roller of a culture bed of an aerated mechanical koji making apparatus which is capable of automatically performing koji substrate loading work, koji extraction work, and maintenance work.

[Conventional technology]

In FIG. 3, which shows an example of an aeration-type mechanical koji-making apparatus, 1 is a ventilated and rotatable disk, and a side plate 2 concentric with the disk 1 is provided around the periphery. , upper and lower semi-enclosed chambers 3 and 4 are formed. The hot and humid air supplied from the inlet air passage 5 enters the semi-closed chamber 4, passes through the koji matrix 6 deposited on the disk 1, and changes the temperature.
The moisture is controlled and exits into the upper semi-sealed chamber 3, passes from the damper 7 through the suction air duct 8, reaches an air conditioner (not shown), is regulated, and enters the feed air duct 5 again for circulation.

Now, when replenishing and drawing in the koji substrate 6 from the droplet 9, by maintaining the rotary screw 10 at a predetermined height and applying rotation to the disk 1,
Can be drawn to the same thickness. Next, as the growth of the koji substrate 6 progresses, maintenance work is performed after a certain period of time has elapsed, and after the completion of the maintenance work, a certain period of time has elapsed, and the koji is made into koji.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

As mentioned above, in the mechanical koji making apparatus, the total weight of the rotating disk 1 as the culture bed and the koji substrate deposited on it is large, and the outer periphery of the culture bed rotates while receiving this weight. Various methods have been devised and put into practical use as means for receiving
Currently, there are defects such as the generation of various bacteria, and there is still room for improvement. In other words, in conventional practical examples, several receiving rollers were used to rotate the culture bed horizontally and at the same time divide the weight and receive the weight. . The koji substrate falls in the form of powder from the rotating disk to these receiving rollers and stagnates on the surface, causing the generation of various bacteria and impairing clean koji production.

[Means for solving the problem] This idea eliminates the above-mentioned defects, allows the culture bed to rotate horizontally, and at the same time eliminates the stagnation of the koji substrate, which is the source of germs. The receiving roller on the outer periphery of the circular rotary culture bed with ventilation is
It is composed of a roller that receives the culture bed, and a roller frame that rotatably supports this roller and is itself vertically adjustable, and a surface portion of the frame that is located below the roller and is configured to face upward. , proposes a receiving roller with an inclination greater than the angle of repose of the koji substrate.

[Effect]

1 and 2 (the same reference numerals are used in FIGS. 1 to 3) are enlarged views of the receiving roller of this invention. 15, it can be rotated. A long adjustment hole is provided below the roller frame 18 to adjust the entire receiving roller up and down and maintain the rotating disk 1 horizontally when the roller wears out or is replaced. The bolts 18 are placed in the shadow of the surface 13 to prevent the koji matrix from stagnation.

[Effect of idea]

The surface portion 13 located below the roller 12 is essential to the structure of the frame 18, and was conventionally flat, but in this design, it has an inclination greater than the angle of repose of the koji substrate, so even if the koji substrate 13, the slope prevents the koji from stagnation, prevents the generation of germs, and makes it possible to make clean koji.
