Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a closed tube used for an inner tank for dyeing cheese.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, an inner tank for cheese dyeing has an inner tank for 100 kg, 20 tanks based on a normal order lot or production lot.
An inner tank for 0 kg is prepared. The number of spindles erected in these inner tanks and the number of cheeses stacked on each spindle are determined by the size (outer diameter) and height of each cheese.

[0003] However, in an actual production site, not all spindles are loaded with a predetermined number of cheeses, and the number of cheeses to be loaded may be less than a preset number of spindles for each lot. There are many. In such a case, the punched part of the spindle where the number of cheeses stacked is less than the predetermined number cannot be left as it is, that is, since the processing liquid flows out from the punched part, the punched part Need to be closed.

[0004] Conventionally, as a closing tube for closing a perforated portion of a spindle less than a predetermined cheese product number,
A simple cylindrical pipe was used. In order to fix the end face of such a cylindrical pipe, a cap 24 is used,
As a known example showing a configuration in which a notch 26 is provided to fit the end of the tube 22, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
There is No. 3 publication.

[0005]

However, in the conventional example, when a mere cylindrical pipe is used, the required amount of liquid does not flow through the cheese via the bobbin due to the treatment liquid flowing out from the end face of the pipe. Has the disadvantage of causing uneven dyeing. Further, in the case of the above-mentioned known example, the configuration of the fitting portion between the end portion of the cap and the tube is disclosed, but there is no suggestion about a means for coping with the shortage of the predetermined number of cheese products. To deal with this, tubes of various lengths are required, and it is required to prepare them in advance.

There is no seal mechanism on both end surfaces of the tube, and the tube is sealed via a cap. In addition, the cap structure and tube end structure are not constant, and the fitting method is directional, so it is necessary to check the top and bottom before mating, which complicates the work of loading cheese on the spindle. There are problems such as The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional example, there is no leakage of the processing liquid from the end portion with the sealing mechanism, and the closed tube is selected according to the shortage of the number of cheeses in each spindle. In addition, it is possible to easily increase or decrease the intermediate cylindrical portion, and furthermore, the upper and lower end portions are provided symmetrically, so that the cheese loading operation on the spindle can be performed simply and easily. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an occlusion tube to be used for the above.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the invention, a number of cheese dyeing inner tanks are provided upright.
Each of them is provided with a spindle for stacking a certain number of cheeses, among these spindles, in a closed tube arranged to cover the perforated part of the spindle that does not meet the predetermined cheese stack number, on both end surfaces of the closed tube. The closed tube was used for an inner tank for cheese dyeing having a sealing mechanism.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the closed tube is composed of two flange portions having a sealing mechanism on the end surface thereof and a plurality of tubular portions, both of which are detachably attached and used in the cheese dyeing inner tank. did. In the third invention, the sealing mechanism is a closed tube used for an inner tank for cheese dyeing using an O-ring.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the closed tube is used as an inner tank for cheese dyeing, in which the mounting portion between the flange portion and the tubular portion is a thread groove portion.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the flange portion having the sealing mechanism is provided on the end face, the end face faces the press plate provided on the upper end of the cheese and the press plate provided on the upper end of the spindle. The sealing is performed and the sealing action is performed simultaneously with the tightening and fixing of the spindle, so that no leakage of the processing liquid occurs.

Since the shape of the flange portion is the same in the vertical direction, it is symmetrical whether it is provided on the end surface of the cheese or the upper end surface of the spindle. The length of the intermediate tubular portion attached to the flange portion can be freely selected and used according to the height of the cheese. In the second invention, when the height of the cheese is one piece or more, the intermediate tubular portion can be detachably attached, and the spindle holed portion of the spindle can be attached in correspondence with the shortage of the predetermined cheese stacking number. The occlusion tube can be set according to the length.

In the third aspect of the invention, the O-ring is used as the sealing mechanism to ensure the sealing with the holding plate. In the fourth aspect of the present invention, the flange portion and the tubular portion are attached to each other by providing the thread groove portion, so that the flange portion and the tubular portion can be attached easily and safely and can be easily detached.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings shown as embodiments will be described below.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of an inner tank for cheese dyeing to which the blocking tube of the present invention is attached. Reference numeral 1 denotes a spindle provided with a number of perforated portions (through holes) on the peripheral surface. 2 is cheese, which is wound around a bobbin 2a and is stacked on the spindle 1. Usually a certain number of cheeses (6 or 7)
Are stacked.

A pressing plate 3 is provided on the upper end surface of the cheese 2 and the upper end portion of the spindle 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes a flange portion, which has a sealing mechanism 5 on the side facing the pressing plate 3, and a tubular portion 6 is attached to the tubular portion. In the illustrated example, the spiral groove portion 8 of the tubular portion 6 is screwed into the spiral groove portion 7. An example shown as the seal mechanism 5 is an O-ring, and when the screw 1 is tightened and fixed by the tightening screw boss 9 on the upper end of the spindle 1, the O-ring can be reliably sealed with the pressing plate 3.

Instead of the O-ring having a circular cross section, a gasket having a square cross section or other sealing member may be used. Reference numeral 10 denotes an intermediate tubular portion, which is screwed into the middle of the tubular portions 6 and 6. The cylindrical portion 6 and the intermediate cylindrical portion 10 are easily detachable by screwing as described above, and can be appropriately connected according to the shortage of the number of products of the cheese 2. Numerals 11 and 12 are screw grooves.

[0016]

According to the present invention, since there is a flange provided with a sealing mechanism between the pressing plate and the pressing plate according to the first aspect of the present invention, the sealing action is assured, there is no leakage of the processing solution, and the uniformity of cheese dyeing is improved. Began to improve. The cylindrical portion can be set at an appropriate length in the perforated portion of the spindle which does not have a predetermined cheese volume, and the length can be adjusted extremely conveniently.

Since the flange portion is configured symmetrically, the operation can be performed without worrying about the direction when the cheese is loaded on the spindle. In the second invention, by adding the intermediate tubular portion, the length can be freely adjusted according to the shortage of the number of cheeses to be stacked.
In the third aspect of the invention, when the O-ring is used as the sealing mechanism, the setting of the sealing mechanism is completed at the same time as the spindle tightening operation, and the sealing is ensured.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the use of the thread groove portion for mounting the flange portion and the tubular portion has the effect that the length can be detachably attached.
