Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an aan squeezing device used to remove a predetermined percentage of moisture from anan soup.

(Prior art and its problems) The undiaphragm device commonly used in the past has 15
It mainly consists of a piping gutter that accommodates ~30 piping bags, and a press means placed above it. Then, fill each piping bag with 30-35 kg of Ann juice,
After these are housed in the squeezing tub, the press means squeezes the juice packed in 15 to 30 bags of piping bags to perform the squeezing operation. Needless to say, after this operation, each piping bag is removed from the piping tub and the next unpiping operation is started.

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional example, by optimizing the mesh of the piping bag, it is possible to optimize the moisture percentage (for example, 63%) after the unpiping process, and also prevent the leakage of the piping component. It has the advantage of being able to However, on the other hand, it is necessary to manually put a large number of piping bags into the piping tub and take them out from the piping tub, which not only forces the worker to do heavy labor, but also takes a long time to put in and take out the piping bags, reducing efficiency. It has the disadvantage of not being accurate.

In order to solve the problems of the conventional methods, automated devices have been proposed and implemented. For example, a system has been put into practical use that combines a cylinder that forms a soup chamber with a piston that performs pressing work, automatically supplies soup stock into the cylinder, and then automatically performs the pressing operation using the squeezing action of the piston. There is. However, this device has a problem in that the strainer cloths stretched on the cylinder side and the piston side tend to become clogged, so coarse mesh strainer cloths have to be used. Therefore, with this device, the outflow of the annular component becomes a problem. If the squeezing pressure is reduced to prevent this problem from occurring, the moisture percentage after unsqueezing increases and the quality of the product deteriorates. For example, with the conventional method, the moisture content of the product is 63%, but with this device, the moisture content becomes 70%, resulting in a significant deterioration of product quality.

(Purpose of the invention) The purpose of the invention is to solve the above problems.

(Structure of the invention) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a piping bag storage space between the support plate 5 and the surrounding side wall 9 when the support plate 5, which is movable up and down, is in the lower position. A is formed, and when the support plate 5 is in the upper position, the support plate 5 is flush with or above the upper end of the side peripheral wall 9, and there is a reciprocating movement arranged on the side thereof. The present invention is characterized in that the piping bag a on the support plate 5 is moved laterally by a lateral movement device 14.

(Embodiment) In the embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a press means that is moved up and down by a hydraulic cylinder 3 attached to the upper part of the machine frame 2. An O-ring 4 is fitted on the outer periphery of the press portion 1a of the press means 1 to prevent the backflow of the uncooked soup upwards.

A hydraulic cylinder 6 for vertically moving the support plate 5 and a pedestal 7 for supporting the support plate 5 at a lower position are disposed at the bottom of the machine frame 2. The support plate 5
An O-ring 8 is fitted around the outer periphery.

A cylindrical side peripheral wall 9 whose outer periphery is reinforced with a plurality of reinforcing rings 12 is disposed at a vertically intermediate portion of the machine frame 2 . A large number of water discharge slits 10 are formed in this side peripheral wall 9. Further, a water receiving cover 11 for receiving water discharged from the slit 10 is provided on the outer periphery of the side peripheral wall 9.

The support plate 5 moves up and down within the side circumferential wall 9, and when it is in the lower position, a piping bag storage space A is formed between it and the side circumferential wall 9. The other support plate 5
When it is pushed up by the hydraulic cylinder 6 and reaches the upper position, it becomes flush with the upper end of the side peripheral wall 9. The upper position of this support plate 5 may be above the upper end of the side peripheral wall 9. The support plate 5 moves up and down with the O-ring 8 fitted on its outer periphery in pressure contact with the inner surface of the side peripheral wall 9.

On the side of the machine frame 2, there is a pushing device (lateral movement device) that moves forward and backward in the horizontal direction using a hydraulic cylinder 13.
14 is disposed, and when the support plate 5 is in the upper position, the piping bag a on the support plate 5 is pushed out to the side by the forward movement of the pushing rod 14a. 15 is the piping bag a pushed out in this way
This is an inclined roller conveyor that automatically conveys the materials to a predetermined position.

A soup stock tank 16 is arranged at the top of the machine frame 2,
The tip 17a of the supply hose 17 is open toward the piping bag storage space A. 18 is a stirring device for preventing sedimentation, and 20 is an electromagnetic on-off valve.

Next, how to use the undiaphragm device having the above configuration will be explained.

Initially, the press means 1 is set at the upper position, the support plate 5 is set at the lower position, and the extrusion device 14 is set at the retracted position. Then, the operator sets the piping bag a in the piping bag storage space A, as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. Next, the electromagnetic on-off valve 20 is opened to supply the bean soup in the bean soup tank 16 to the piping bag a. For example, the amount of anjiru soup to be supplied is 30 to 50 kg.
is suitable.

Next, the operator closes the opening of the piping bag a, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The work of setting the piping bag a and the work of closing the opening after supplying the juice are as follows:
It is also possible to automate using known automation equipment.

When the above-mentioned preliminary operations are completed, the press means 1 moves downward, and by moving downward within the side circumferential wall 9, it squeezes the un-piping bag a and performs the un-squeezing operation. Moisture flows out into the water receiving cover 11. The pressing force of the press means 1 at this time is supported by the pedestal 7 via the support plate 5.

The unsqueezing operation is completed in 3 to 4 minutes, after which the press means 1 returns upward. Almost at the same time, support plate 5
is pushed up by the hydraulic cylinder 6 and starts moving upward. When the support plate 5 on which the piping bag a is placed reaches the upper position, the extrusion rod 14a of the extrusion device 14 moves forward, and the piping bag a is extruded toward the roll conveyor 15, as shown in FIG.
The piping bag a transferred onto the roll conveyor 15 is conveyed to a predetermined location. When the press means 1, the support plate 5, and the extrusion device 14 return to their initial positions, the entire operation is completed.

In addition to the embodiments described above, the present invention can be configured in various ways. For example, in the above embodiment, the support plate 5 is fixed to the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 6, but the support plate 5 and the hydraulic cylinder 6 are separated, and when the hydraulic cylinder 6 is raised, the support plate 5 is pushed up, and the hydraulic cylinder 6 is lowered. In some cases, the support plate 5 may be configured to move downward by its own weight. Alternatively, the pedestal 7 may be omitted and the pressing force of the press means 1 may be supported by the hydraulic cylinder 6. Furthermore, in place of the extrusion device 14, it is also possible to employ a lateral movement device of a type that pulls the piping bag a on the support plate 5 to the side.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention has the above configuration, it can produce the following effects.

The heavy labor of putting a piping bag in and out of a piping tub in conventional devices is no longer necessary, making the work easier and making the work more efficient.

Unlike conventional automated equipment, since the work uses a piping bag, it is possible to use a piping bag with an appropriate mesh that does not clog for each unwrapping operation, and as a result, water cannot be removed sufficiently. This problem of conventional automation equipment can be solved, and high quality Anne can be provided.
