Abstract

PURPOSE:To move the bottom in a dehydrating tank, stabilize the center of gravity in the dehydrating tank and smooth the rotary motion of the dehydrating tank by providing a bottom driving section for vertically moving the bottom through a sensor and a drive section for rotating the dehydrating tank. CONSTITUTION:A dehydrating tank 1 has several water outlets, a bottom 5 integral with a sensor section 2 for detecting the center of gravity and movable vertically and a bottom driving section 3 for moving vertically the bottom 5 in the interior. A drive section 4 for rotating the dehydrating tank 1 is provided. When objects to be hydrated are put into the dehydrating tank 1, the sensor section 2 for detecting the center of gravity detects the center of gravity in the dehydrating tank to command thereby the bottom drive section 3 to move vertically the bottom, and the bottom drive section 3 moves the bottom to a specified position. After the completion of the motion, the dehydrating tank 1 is rotated by the rotating drive section for dehydration.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a dewatering device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of dehydration apparatus, the center of gravity within the dehydration tank has moved up and down depending on the volume of the object to be dehydrated.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional dehydration equipment, the center of gravity in the dehydration tank moves up and down depending on the volume of the object to be dehydrated, so if the center of gravity in the dehydration tank goes down, the upper part of the dehydration tank will move against the rotational movement of the dehydration tank. This has the disadvantage that the rotation of the dehydration tank cannot be carried out smoothly due to instability.

[Means to solve the problem]

The dehydration apparatus of the present invention includes a dehydration tank, a bottom part that moves up and down in the dehydration tank, a sensor for detecting the center of gravity in the dehydration tank, and a sensor for making the center of gravity in the dehydration tank constant by the sensor. It has a bottom drive unit that moves the bottom up and down, and a drive unit that rotates the dehydration tank.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, the dehydration tank 1 has several water outlets (not shown).
It has a bottom part 5 that can move up and down integrally with the center of gravity detection sensor part 2, and a bottom drive part 3 that moves this bottom part 5 up and down, and a drive part that rotates the dehydration tank 1. 4 is provided.

When an object to be dehydrated is placed in the dehydration tank 1, the center of gravity detection sensor part 2 detects the center of gravity in the dehydration tank, and based on the result, the bottom drive unit 3 is commanded to move the bottom up and down. Move to the specified position. After this operation is completed, the dehydration tank 1 is rotated by the rotary movement drive unit to perform dehydration.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the effect of making the center of gravity of the dehydration tank constant by moving the bottom of the dehydration tank, thereby making the rotational movement of the dehydration tank smooth.
