Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing dried laver for producing sheet-shaped dried laver.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A dry laver manufacturing apparatus is designed to produce a sheet-like laver while circulating and transporting a laver holder holding a laver by an endless chain through a sheeting section, a dehydrating section, a drying chamber, and a stripping section. It has become.

An endless chain is provided in the drying chamber, and the laver holder that has passed through the dehydrating section is transferred to the endless chain. The endless chain slowly transports the laver holder and adheres to the laver cage. The raw seaweed is dried and sent out from the drying room to the stripping part.

[0004] It is known that an upper endless chain and a lower endless chain are arranged in two upper and lower stages as a drying chamber, whereby the length of the drying chamber is shortened by securing the transport path length of the laver holder. .

[0005] The upper endless chain and the lower endless chain which are arranged in a drying chamber in upper and lower two stages are sent to the upper endless chain after passing the dehydrating section into the upper endless chain, and after the upper endless chain makes a round, the lower endless chain is rotated. After passing over to the chain and making a round of the lower endless chain, the upper end method of sending out from the lower endless chain to the peeling part, and sending the laver holder passed through the dewatering section to the lower endless chain, and after making a round of the lower endless chain The upper endless chain is transferred to the upper endless chain, and after passing through the upper endless chain, the lower end is sent out from the upper endless chain to the peeling section.

The above-described drying chamber of the upward rotation type and the drying chamber of the downward rotation type each have advantages and disadvantages, and are selectively used according to the preference of the laver producer and the like.

[0007]

Further, the apparatus for producing dried laver is provided with a sheet laver holder which holds a laver cage while being circulated and transported by an endless chain through a sheeting section, a dehydrating section, a drying chamber, a stripping section, and the like. It is known that dry laver is manufactured. In this case, it is known that the laver is turned upside down in the middle of transportation, and thereby both sides of the laver are used alternately. Also in the case of a dry laver production apparatus having a chamber, it is desirable to provide means for inverting the laver cage.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a dry laver manufacturing apparatus having a lower-type drying chamber having an upper and lower two-stage endless chain, in which the laver can be turned upside down smoothly, and the lower endless chain can be moved from the upper endless chain to the upper endless chain. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dry laver production apparatus capable of reliably feeding a laver holder into a chain.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a paper-making unit which is disposed on a lower traveling portion of an endless chain and which makes raw nori on a laver cage held by a laver holder, and a paper-making unit. A dehydrating unit for dehydrating the raw laver on the laver cage, a drying chamber for drying the raw laver on the laver cage while transporting the laver holder, and an upper traveling unit of the endless chain. A peeling section for peeling off the dried laver from the laver cage attached to the laver cage of the laver holder sent out from the drying chamber, and the drying chamber receives the laver cage holder that has passed through the dehydrating section, and A lower endless chain that transports from the traveling section to the upper traveling section; an upper endless chain that transports the laver holder from the lower traveling section to the upper traveling section and sends it to the stripping section; and the upper traveling of the lower endless chain. From the upper endless chain In a dry laver manufacturing apparatus provided with a transfer means for transferring the laver holder to the side traveling portion, the front of the stripped portion of the upper traveling portion of the endless chain is formed as a downwardly sloped portion in the traveling direction, and There is provided a reversing means of a seaweed cage comprising a bent first guide member and a second guide member, and a seaweed holder conveyed by the endless chain is moved between the first guide member and the second guide member. And turned it upside down.

[0010] Preferably, the endless chain is provided with a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion for engaging a laver holder. When the peeling portion is circulated and transported, the laver holder is transported by the first engaging portion, and the laver holder is moved by the transfer means from the upper traveling portion of the lower endless chain to the lower traveling of the upper endless chain. When feeding into the part, the laver holder was towed by the second engaging part, and was sent to the lower traveling part while being raised.

[0011]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the laver holder sent out from the upper endless chain of the drying chamber is transported toward the peeling section, but is turned upside down by the upside down turning means in the middle. In this case, since the first guide member and the second guide member of the front / back reversing means are provided on the downward slope, the first guide member and the first guide member are smoothly transferred while the laver holder is transported by the endless chain. It can be reliably turned upside down by dropping between the second guide members.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the second engaging portion allows the laver holder to be reliably fed from the lower endless chain to the lower traveling portion of the upper endless chain.
