Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an apparatus for sterilizing bagged konjac products such as white takyayaito konnyaku using boiling water.

The purpose of this invention is to provide an apparatus that can continuously process a large number of konjac products packed together with water in a sealed synthetic resin bag with hot water without requiring any human intervention.

This invention will be explained in detail below using illustrated examples.

The hot water tank 1 is formed into a rectangular shape made of stainless steel, enamel, etc., and a heat insulating material 2 is applied to the circumferential side wall.

On the opening edges 1a, 1a in the longitudinal direction of the hot water tank 1, a plurality of bearings 3, 3 are provided with a height difference and spaced at required intervals.
A pair of rotating shafts 5 having sprockets 4, 4 at both ends of each pair of bearings 3°3 are fixed in sets, and a pair of rotating shafts 5 having sprockets 4, 4 at both ends horizontally supports the sprockets 4, 4 with the sprockets 4, 4 positioned inside the opening edge. It is.

Each of the sprockets 4, 4 is provided with an endless chain 7 to which a transfer plate 6 (to be described later) is attached, and a chain wheel 10 is connected to the end of one rotating shaft 5 via a reducer 8 and an endless chain 9. is fixed thereto, and one rotating shaft 4 is rotated clockwise at a predetermined speed by a motor 12 on a frame 11 equipped with a transmission.

The transfer plate 6 is made of a rectangular frame 6a that is slightly shorter than the depth of the tub 1 and slightly shorter than the depth of the tub 1, with a net 6b stretched over it. An elastic plate 6c made of rubber or the like is provided protrudingly.

As shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of transfer plates 6 (four in the drawing) are provided with protrusions 6d provided on both sides of the rear end edge at regular intervals protruding from the inside of each endless chain 7. The endless chains 7 on both sides are connected to the receiving pieces 7a, 7a.
．． 7 so that the elastic plate 6c moves close to the bottom of the bathtub.

A partition plate 13 having a large number of holes is provided diagonally along the elastic plate rising path in a portion corresponding to the rising path of the elastic plate 6c in the hot water tank, and between this partition plate 13 and the end of the hot water tank. A place of escape is formed.

A hot water supply port 15 connected to a hot water supply pipe 14 is provided at the bottom, and hot water in the tank overflows from a hole 16 formed in the upper part of one side wall.

In the figure, 17 is a chain holder, and 18 is a bearing stand.

In the device having the above structure, since a plurality of transfer plates 6 circulate inside and outside the hot water tank 1 containing hot water, the transfer plates 6
When a bag containing a sealed konjac product is placed in the end of the tub where the konnyaku enters, the konjac is sent to the opposite end by the transfer plate 6, and heat-treated with the residue that is scooped up from the tub 1 and discharged outside the tub. receive.

Therefore, in this invention, if a sealed bag is placed inside a predetermined end, a large number of the bags can be heat-treated and sterilized in succession without requiring any human intervention.

Since the transfer plate and the partition inside the bathtub are made of a net or a perforated plate, there is little flow resistance and the hot water can easily escape, so the hot water does not overflow along with the scooped out bag.

Moreover, since the gap between the transfer plate and the bottom of the bathtub is closed by an elastic plate, bags containing konnyaku products will not be caught in the gap during transfer, and many bags can be stored in the bathtub. It has the advantage of being able to be placed inside and subjected to continuous heat treatment.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A pair of rotating shafts having sprockets at both ends are horizontally supported at the required interval on the opening edge of the bathtub, and a net is attached to a frame body with an elastic plate protruding from the tip edge slightly between the inner edges of the bathtub. A plurality of tensioned transfer plates are arranged at regular intervals across the endless chains on both sides of the sprocket, so that the elastic plates move close to the bottom of the bath, and the elastic plates move close to the bottom of the bath. A heat treatment device for konnyaku products, comprising a partition plate having a large number of holes along the rise path of the elastic plate, an escape area for hot water formed between the partition plate and the end of the bath, and a hot water supply port provided at the bottom of the bath. .
