JPS5940460B2 - Processed material transfer device for sterilizer - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of a processing material transfer device in a sterilizer.

Conventionally, in a high-pressure sterilizer, it has been known to store the processed material between a pair of left and right transfer chains, or to install a retainer to store the processed material in the retainer and sterilize the processed material while continuously transporting it. When storing or removing the processed material from the retainer, the lid of the retainer must be opened and closed each time to take it in and out, which is extremely troublesome, and the baggage, etc., is easily damaged by this action. There are defects such as damage to the workpiece or, in the case of small workpieces, movement within the retainer during transportation.

The present invention is an attempt to improve these deficiencies by installing a porous retainer with one side open between a pair of left and right transfer chains that circulate through a sterilization tank and a cooling tank. A porous cartridge having locking portions at both ends and an open top for accommodating the processed material is removably fitted therein, and elastic locking portions are provided at both ends of the retainer to engage with the locking portions of the cartridge. The gist is that a stop was provided.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A pair of left and right transfer chains 6 and 6 are stretched so as to circulate within the high-pressure sterilization tank 1 and the cooling tanks 2 and 3 via drive wheels 4 and guide wheels 5.
, a part of which is suspended by a pair of intermittent drive wheels 8, 8 provided in front and back of the frame 7 on the side of the cooling tank with slack between them and between the two, and the intermittent drive wheels 8, 8
The transfer chain 6.6 is rotated intermittently in synchronization with the drive wheel 4.
The intermittent drive wheels 8, 8 are formed so that they can be stopped intermittently.

Figure 2 shows an example of an intermittent drive mechanism, in which the intermittent drive wheels 8
, 8 has a model wheel 11 which is prevented from reversing by a locking pawl 10.
is provided, and a feed pawl 15 at the tip of a feed lever 14 operated by a cam 13 provided on the shaft 12 of the drive wheel 4 is engaged with the mold wheel 11 to drive the operation of the intermittent drive wheels 8, 8. It rotates intermittently in synchronization with wheel 4.

In addition, a mounting piece 1 is provided between the pair of left and right transfer chains 6.6.
A porous glue retainer 17 with an open front part is installed through the retainer 17, and a porous car 1-IJ joint 18 with an open upper part is removably fitted into the retainer 17 through the opening. At the same time, the locking claws 21 which are urged inward by the springs 20 provided on the outside of both ends of the retainer 17 engage with the locking holes 19 formed on both end faces of the cartridge 18, and the locking claws 21 are urged inwardly by the springs 20 provided on the outside of both ends of the retainer 17, and the both ends are held together. They are paired together.

The cartridge 18 may be a single cartridge, but as in the embodiment, a plurality of small cartridges 18' are used.

18' can be polymerized to form a single Kerr 1-IJ Tsuji, and it is preferable that the porous holes are punched inward and the edges raised to improve heat transfer to the processed material. Further, if the lower bottom of the retainer 17 and the cartridge 18 is formed in the shape of a ship's bottom as shown in the drawing, it is easy to take the car 1-IJ joint 18 in and out. Although it is provided, it can also be provided on the opposite rear side.

In the figure, 22 is an airtight opening/closing mechanism for the high-pressure sterilization tank 1, and 23 is a cartridge push button 124 that is a release guide for the locking claw 21.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when the front intermittent drive wheel 8 is stopped intermittently, the cartridge 18 is moved to the retainer 17 by the pushing pusher 23.
When the retainer 17 is pushed into the cartridge 18, the locking claws 21 of the retainer 17 are engaged with the locking holes 19 of the cartridge 18, and the two are integrally connected.

When the cartridge 18 is attached to the retainer 17 in this way, the intermittent drive wheel 8 rotates, and the beams from now on retainer 17 are rotated.
is continuously transferred, passes through a cooling tank 3, enters a high-pressure sterilization tank 1, enters the sterilized rear part, passes through a cooling tank 3゜2, and then is transferred to a rear intermittent drive wheel 8.
will be transferred to.

Then, the locking pawl 21 is released from the locking hole 19 by the release guide 24 and is stopped intermittently, so that the cartridge 18 is taken out from the retainer 17, and the retainer 17 is circulated and transferred to the front intermittent drive wheel 8 again. .

In the present invention, a porous retainer with one side open is installed between a pair of transfer chains that circulate through a sterilization tank and a cooling tank, and a porous cartridge with an open top is removably fitted into the retainer through the opening. At the same time, the elastic locking devices provided at both ends of the retainer are removably engaged with the locking portions formed at both ends of the cartridge. Mounting and removal from the retainer can be done quickly and easily with a single touch, and since the top of the cartridge is open, it is extremely easy to store the processed material. This improves the sterilization efficiency of this type of sterilizer, and the processed material can be stored in the cartridge in advance. Since the stored items can be attached to the retainer, the items to be processed will not be damaged during loading and unloading operations.Also, by using multiple polymerized cartridges or cartridges with compartmentalized interiors, easily damaged items such as bags and small items can be removed. It has excellent features such as being able to easily and reliably sterilize even processed materials without damaging the bags or damaging the quality.
