Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to the structure of a squeezing mouthpiece in a continuous production machine for thread konjac (shirataki).

(Prior Art) The present inventor first invented an automatic konjac manufacturing machine (Japanese Patent No. 250088 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 33-9243)), and by implementing this, a breakthrough in automatic manufacturing of konjac. Brought.

FIG. 6 shows the present invention by the present inventor, and after briefly explaining the present invention, the detailed explanation of the present invention will be developed.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 1 is a hopper, into which a konjac material pre-pasted with hot water or water is put. This konjak material, where the center of the hopper 1 is gathered by the spiral aggregate 2, the glue that is well mixed in the stirring cylinder is continuously sucked by the gear pump 4, and the squeeze cap 5 (in the case of the figure, It is sent to the yarn konjac squeezing device). Reference numeral 6 is a stirring device provided in the stirring cylinder 3, and the lime water 8 and the konjac paste fed from a nozzle 7 provided at a connecting portion between the hopper 1 and the stirring cylinder 3 are quickly and quickly supplied in the stirring cylinder 3. It is for efficient mixing.

Due to the above-mentioned structure, the konjac paste supplied into the hopper 1 is well mixed with lime water in the stirring cylinder 3 while being continuously sucked by the gear pump 4. A mixture of lime water and konjac paste continuously sent out from the gear pump 4 (both of which are continuously treated so that the reaction has not progressed yet) is formed into thread konjac by the next konjac squeeze die 5. Then, it falls into the hot water can 9 and is completely agglomerated therein to form a product.

Now, the white squeezer in the konjac manufacturing machine is the sixth
As shown in the figure, the flange portion 5b provided at the bottom of the upper discharge pipe 5a
The perforated plate 5c for whitening was fixed to the lower surface of the with a fixing ring 5d. A screwing method was used for this fixing. This screw was provided with a male screw on the flange portion 5b side and a female screw on the fixing ring 5d side. And when replacing the perforated plate 5c during whitish production, loosen the fixing ring 5d,
It is necessary to remove the perforated plate that has been used up to now and quickly attach another perforated plate 5c to the bottom of the flange part 5b with the fixing ring 5b, but it takes a considerable time to turn the screw, and during this installation time The discharged konjac paste was a loss.

Therefore, there has been an attempt to improve the installation with this continuous screw and cut the continuous screw part at several places to facilitate the connection of the interrupted screw and the screw. Since it is a part of the screw, the male screw and the female screw do not mesh with each other from an arbitrary point, so that the meshing start point of the screw needs to be marked in advance. Therefore, it takes a considerable amount of time to confirm the starting point and the time required to rotate the fixed ring thereafter, and the expensive konjac raw material is spit out for a considerable amount of time, but it was discarded as a commercial product.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In view of the problems of the conventional screw type or intermittent screw type, we provide a white squeezing machine that can quickly attach and detach a perforated plate for whitening production, and an expensive konjac raw material. The purpose is to reduce the loss of as much as possible and to make it possible to economically produce a whitened product.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A konjac discharge pipe, a perforated plate, and a fixing ring for fixing the perforated plate to the discharge pipe, wherein the discharge pipe has an integral flange portion at the bottom, and the flange A plurality of wedge pieces are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the portion, and the fixing ring is provided with a wedge piece having a wedge surface corresponding to the wedge piece of the flange portion on the inner peripheral surface thereof to fix the porous plate. After fitting in the ring, the fixing ring is applied to the lower surface of the flange portion at the lower portion of the discharge pipe, and is rotated in a small angle in the circumferential direction so that the fixing ring can be attached / detached with one touch.

(Example) It demonstrates based on FIGS. 1-4. In FIG. 1, 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a throttle mouthpiece according to the present invention, 11 denotes a konjac discharge pipe connected to a konjac making machine, 12 denotes a perforated plate having a large number of konjac throttle holes 12a, and a flange portion of the konjac discharge pipe 11 by a fixing ring 13. Mounted on the bottom of 7b.

Plural (for example, three) wedge pieces 11c are integrally provided on the side surface of the flange portion 11b provided at the lower portion of the vertical pipe portion 11a of the discharge pipe 11. Corresponding to the wedge pieces 11c, the same number of wedge pieces 13a as the wedge pieces 11c are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the fixing ring 13 to engage with the wedge pieces 11c. The wedge piece 11c enters the wedge surface 14 of the wedge piece 13a by rotating a small angle in the circumferential direction, and the wedge piece 11c and the wedge piece 11c are joined together.

The inclinations of the wedge surfaces 14 of the wedge piece 11c and the wedge piece 13a are selected so that the connection between the wedge piece 11c and the wedge piece 13a will not be loosened by the vibration of an ordinary machine. Reference numeral 15 is an opening of the fixing ring, from which the white whit falls downward. Reference numeral 16 is a concave portion provided on the side surface of the fixing ring 13 at a constant pitch, and is provided to facilitate the rotation of the fixing ring by hand.

(Attachment of perforated plate) The perforated plate 12 is placed on the opening 15 of the fixed ring 13, the wedge piece 13a of the fixed ring 13 is positioned between the wedge pieces 11c of the discharge pipe 11, and the fixed ring 13 is turned a little, the discharge pipe The wedge piece 11c of the above-mentioned wedge bites into the wedge surface 14 of the wedge piece 13a of the fixing ring 13, and both are joined, and at the same time, the perforated plate 12 is also firmly positioned.

Thus, the installation time of the perforated plate 12 is minimized, and the loss of valuable konjac raw material can be eliminated.

(Effect) A wedge piece is provided on the outer circumference of the discharge pipe, and a wedge piece having a wedge surface is provided on the inner circumference of the fixing ring correspondingly, and the discharge ring is rotated by a small angle in the circumferential direction with one touch. It can be attached to the lower flange. By the way, when lime water is added to konjac paste, the time that can be used as konjac paste is about 5 seconds, and if it takes 8 seconds, both react and cannot be used. Although it takes about 4 seconds to replace the conventional perforated plate, according to the present invention, it is possible to replace the die in about 2 seconds, which is very effective in eliminating the loss of konjac raw material.

By appropriately selecting the slope of the wedge surface, it is possible to speed up the work without being loosened by the vibration of the machine and also easy to remove.
