Description

  The present invention relates to a thread-capturing device for capturing a filament (typically hair) contained in a fluid (liquid, powder, granule) and removing the filament from the fluid.

  Foreign contamination is one of the propositions that manufacturers must avoid in any industry. In particular, food manufacturers have a strict check system for contamination of foreign substances in products.

  Patent Document 1 proposes to provide various special filters in a pipeline through which a fluid passes. An example of this special filter will be described. The special filter is composed of a metal plate arranged across a pipe line, and the metal plate has a number of cuts. The filamentous material mixed in the fluid is caught by the filter by being caught by the cut and raised portion.

  The present applicant has proposed a trapping tool that traps a filamentous material in a liquid using a screw in Patent Document 2. The catching tool of Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which a large number of screws are implanted in a support plate, and the thread-like body is sandwiched between a wedge-shaped space formed by the plate surface of the support plate and a screw thread adjacent thereto. In this way, the filamentous body in the liquid is captured.

  The applicant of the present application has actually used the capture tool disclosed in Patent Document 2 and has achieved good results. As described above, since this trapping device is configured to sandwich the thread-like body in a wedge-shaped space formed between the plate surface of the support plate and the screw, the larger the number of screws (the higher the density of the screws). It is effective.

  There are various fluids such as foods, and not all foods are easy to flow like water. For example, in the case of a fluid having viscosity such as stew or curry roux, in the trap disclosed in Patent Document 2, as the screw density increases, the screw group becomes a point and a liquid pool is generated. I will not.

  The inventors of the present application are not limited to liquids such as water, but are developing viscosities such as stew or curry roux, while developing an effective filament-capturing tool even for viscous fluids. The present inventors have come up with a thread-like body capturing tool that can be applied to a wide variety of fluids including liquids, powders, and granules.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a thread-like body catching tool that can effectively catch a thread-like body mixed in a fluid of liquid, powder, and granules.

  A further object of the present invention is to provide a thread-like body catching tool that is effective for catching a thread-like body in a flow path in which a fluid of liquid, powder, and granules flows in a certain direction.

  The inventors of the present application, when considering the conventional example (attached FIG. 4) arranged in a staggered manner like the arrangement of screws disclosed in Patent Document 2, was arranged in the width direction of the flow direction D of the flow path. The flow of the fluid that has passed between the first and second vertical line members 100 (1) and 100 (2) is the first and second vertical line members 100 (1) and 100 ( 2) and a third position located between the first and second vertical linear members 100 (1) and 100 (2) when viewed downstream from the upstream side in the flow direction D. It collides with the vertical linear member 100 (3). That is, the third vertical linear member 100 (3) plays the role of blocking the flow. If it is a fluid such as water, the third vertical line member 100 (3) does not become a factor that hinders the flow. However, in the case of a fluid having a certain viscosity, the flow is blocked by the presence of the third vertical line member 100 (3).

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the basic concept of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 1, the fluid that has passed between the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 arranged side by side in the width direction of the flow path in which the fluid flows in a constant flow direction D The first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 are guided obliquely downward by a plurality of additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 located downstream of the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2. The oblique path formed by the additional linear members 3 and 4 is indicated by reference sign B. Thereby, even if it is a fluid with a fixed viscosity, for example, since the flow is guided diagonally downward by the slant path B, it can move downstream without being blocked.

Specifically, the present invention refers to FIG.
The filaments contained in the fluid are arranged by a plurality of vertical linear members 1 to 4 that are arranged in a flow path in which a fluid of liquid, powder, and granules flows in a certain direction D and extends in the depth direction of the flow path. A thread-capturing device for capturing,
The structural unit At of the arrangement of the plurality of vertical line members 1 to 4 is
First and second vertical linear members 1, 2 positioned adjacent to each other in the width direction of the flow path;
When viewed downstream from the upstream side in the flow direction of the flow path, when positioned side by side between the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2, and when the flow path is viewed from the lateral direction And a plurality of additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 that are located on the downstream side of the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 and spaced from each other.
When looking at the downstream side from the upstream side in the flow direction of the flow path,
(1) Among the plurality of additional vertical line members 3, 4, the additional third vertical line member 3 closest to the first vertical line member 1 is the first vertical line member 1. Touch or overlap each other,
(2) Of the plurality of additional vertical line members 3, 4, the additional fourth vertical line member 4 closest to the second vertical line member 2 is the second vertical line member 2. Touch or overlap each other,
(3) The above-mentioned technical problem can be achieved by providing a thread-like body capturing tool characterized in that the plurality of additional vertical line members 3 and 4 are in contact with each other or overlap each other. .

  Here, the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 are arranged apart from each other in the width direction of the flow path, but the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 are flow directions of the flow path. May be offset.

  The thread-like body capturing tool of the present invention is arranged so that many vertical line-shaped members are distributed over the entire width direction of the flow path. The fluid flowing in the flow direction D through the flow path collides with any of the plurality of vertical linear members and the flow is disturbed. In particular, in a fluid having viscosity, the direction of the filaments mixed therein tends to be aligned with the flow direction of the fluid, so the flow direction of the fluid accompanying the collision with the vertical line member The orientation of the filament changes due to the disturbance. Due to the change in the direction of the filamentous body, the possibility that the filamentous body is entangled with the vertical linear member increases. Therefore, the efficiency of capturing the filamentous body can be increased. In particular, when the filamentous material is mixed in a fluid having a certain viscosity such as roux, the efficiency of capturing the filamentous material can be increased without blocking the flow of the fluid.

  Further, in the case of a fluid having a particular viscosity, FIGS. 2 to 4 show cases where vertical line members are arranged in a zigzag manner as in the capturing tool disclosed in Patent Document 2, for example, as a comparative example. FIG. 2 shows a case where a plurality of vertical line members 100 are densely arranged. As can be seen from FIG. 2, when the vertical linear members 100 are densely arranged, the vertical linear members 100 positioned on the upstream side and the vertical lines positioned on the downstream side when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path. The member 100 overlaps each other. FIG. 3 shows a case where a plurality of vertical line members 100 are sparsely arranged. FIG. 4 shows a case where a plurality of vertical line members 100 are appropriately arranged. Here, “appropriately arranged” means that, when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path, the vertical linear member 100 located on the upstream side and the vertical linear member 100 located on the downstream side are in contact with each other. Is in a state.

  Referring to FIG. 2 of the comparative example, when the vertical line members 100 are arranged densely, the viscous fluid becomes difficult to flow. Conversely, when a plurality of vertical line members 100 are arranged sparsely (FIG. 3), a region where the vertical line members 100 do not exist in the flow direction D of the fluid, that is, a passage through which the fluid passes ( (Through passage) 102 is formed. The filaments mixed with the fluid also pass through the passage (through passage) 102.

  On the other hand, in the filament-shaped body capture | acquisition tool of this invention, with reference to FIG. 1, it is in the downstream area | region between the 1st vertical line member 1 and the 2nd vertical line member 2 located in an upstream. Since the additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 are positioned, there is no passage through which the fluid passes in the flow direction D of the flow path. On the other hand, an oblique path B for guiding the flow of the fluid obliquely downward is formed by the additional vertical members 3 and 4. Thus, even if the fluid that has passed through the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 is a fluid having a relatively high viscosity, the oblique path B serves as an escape path.

  Therefore, the fluid flowing along the flow direction D of the flow path is disturbed by colliding with the additional vertical members 3, 4, and the flow direction D of the flow path even in the process of traveling along the oblique path B. Colliding with the fluid coming from, the flow is further disturbed.

  The vertical line member referred to in the present invention may be a vertical line member having a relatively smooth surface, but the surface of the vertical line member is preferably a rough surface, for example, a relatively long surface. Adopting screws is effective in reducing costs. A mechanism for forming the wedge-shaped recess with the support surface of the flow path by the thread of the base end portion of the vertical line-shaped member and capturing the filamentous material mixed in the fluid in the wedge-shaped recess It is good. The capturing mechanism of the vertical line member is arbitrary.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 are in contact with each other when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path, but this is only one typical example. When viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path, the additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 may be arranged in a partially overlapping state. In addition, when referring to FIG. 4 described in the conventional example, the state of being in contact with each other is an additional space between the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path. This means an arrangement in which the outlines of the vertical line members 3 and 4 appear to be in contact with each other. With reference to FIG. 2 described in the conventional example, the overlap is an additional vertical line member 3, 4 between the first and second vertical line members when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path. However, this means an arrangement in which a part of the outer edge portion appears to be missing. The additional vertical line members 3 and 4 are spaced apart from each other on the downstream side of the first and second vertical line members (when the vertical positions are different from each other) when the flow path is viewed from the lateral direction. What is necessary is just to be sufficient and you may arrange | position in the state which mutually overlapped.

  A cross linear member that intersects the flow direction D of the flow path may be disposed separately from the vertical linear members 1 to 4. By arranging this cross linear member, the flow of the fluid can be deflected upward, and the direction of the filament can be changed in various ways by further disturbing the flow of the fluid further up and down and left and right. And the probability that a filamentous body will get entangled with the vertical linear members 1-4 or the cross linear member by this can be raised. The cross linear member may be disposed so as to penetrate between the vertical linear members extending in the depth direction of the flow path, and the position (height) and the inclination in the depth direction of the flow path are arbitrary.

  The cross linear member may be directly joined to all or some of the vertical line members, or may be constituted by a cross linear member extending from end to end in the width direction of the flow path. Also good.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the filamentous body capturing tool 10 of the embodiment. With reference to FIG. 5, the thread-like body capturing tool 10 of the embodiment is composed of a main unit 12 and an additional second unit 14. The second unit 14 is detachably attached to the main unit 12.

  The filamentous catcher 10 is installed in a food production line. Specifically, the thread-like body capturing tool 10 is installed in a stew roux production line. The viscosity of this roux is about 2000 to 6000 mPa · S.

  Specifically, cooked roux is discharged from a pipe 16 opened downward with reference to FIG. Note that, for example, the cooking of roux is performed in a batch manner, so that the cooked roux is discharged from the discharge pipe 16 in a single pot unit.

  The filament capturing tool 10 is accommodated in a relay box 18 having a rectangular shape in plan view for receiving luo from the discharge pipe 16. The relay box 18 has an opening 18a at the center of the bottom thereof, and the roux is sent to the next process through the opening 18a.

  The main unit 12 constituting the main unit of the thread-like body capturing tool 10 has a stainless steel bottom plate 20 bent in a mountain shape, and the main unit 12 has its ridge line 20a positioned directly below the opening 16a of the discharge pipe 16. Is positioned. The flow discharged from the pipe 16 is divided into left and right sides with the ridgeline 20a serving as a watershed (FIG. 5).

  6 is a view corresponding to FIG. 5 of the main unit 12 and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI-VI of FIG. FIG. 7 is a plan view of the main unit 12.

  The main unit 12 includes left and right side plates 22 positioned at the left and right ends of the bottom plate 20 bent in a mountain shape, and handles 24 are fixed to the left and right side plates 22, respectively. The left and right side plates 22 and the mountain-shaped bottom plate 20 constitute a flow path of roux. The left and right side plates 22 and the handle 24 are preferably made of a stainless material.

  Numerous vertical line members 26 are implanted in the right bottom plate portion 20R and the left bottom plate portion 20L with the ridge line 20a interposed therebetween. The vertical line member 26 is made of a stainless steel bar having a circular cross section. The vertical line member 26 may be circular or polygonal in cross-sectional shape. The vertical line member 26 may be a member having a relatively smooth surface, but is preferably a member having a rough surface property, for example, a relatively long screw is used. May be.

  FIG. 8 showing an enlarged view of the portion indicated by VIII in FIG. 7 shows a specific arrangement of the vertical line members 26 implanted in the bottom plate portion 20L. In FIG. 7, the row L of the plurality of vertical line members 26 is indicated by a one-dot chain line.

Referring to FIG. 8 which is a partially enlarged view, the arrangement configuration described in FIG. 1 described above is basically adopted as a structural unit for the plurality of vertical line members 26. Specifically, the rows L ₁ of the first group 30 having center lines obliquely inclined from right to left with respect to the flow direction D of the flow path are positioned side by side and at equal intervals.

That is, in the row L ₁ of the first group 30, the most upstream vertical linear member 26 corresponds to the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 described in FIG. In this case, the vertical line member 26 on the left side in FIG. 8 is a first vertical line member, and the vertical line member 26 on the right side is a second vertical line member. The four vertical line members 26 arranged on the downstream side of each of the first and second vertical line members 1 and 2 are the third and fourth additional vertical line members 3 described in FIG. This corresponds to 4. The fourth vertical linear member 26 from the upstream side becomes the additional third vertical linear member closest to the first vertical linear member, and the second vertical linear member 26 becomes the second vertical linear member 26. It becomes an additional fourth vertical linear member closest to the linear member.

  When the downstream side is viewed from the upstream side in the flow direction D of the flow path (between the two upstream vertical line members 26 corresponding to the first and second vertical line members), the fourth line The vertical line member 26 is in contact with the first vertical line member, the second vertical line member 26 is in contact with the second vertical line member, and the four additional vertical line members are also in contact with each other. . As described above, the constituent unit of the desired vertical linear member is configured. In FIG. 9, the reference numerals used in FIG.

Downstream of the column L ₁ of the first group 30 of said column L ₂ of the second group 32 has skewed is connected from the downstream end of column L ₁ of the first group 30 in the opposite direction (from left to right) The rows L ₂ of the second group 32 are also positioned horizontally and at equal intervals. That also applies to column L ₄ columns L ₃ and the fourth group 36 of which is arranged the structural units of the vertical linear member described above is turned around, following the third group 34.

Downstream of the row L ₂ of the second group 32, columns L ₃ of the third group 34 positioned a point laterally offset from the downstream end of the column L ₂ of the second group 32 as the upstream end, the flow and from the right to the flow direction D of the road extending skewed obliquely to the left, column L ₃ of the third group 34 are and positioned at equal intervals side by side. The first to third group 34 downstream of the column L ₃ of the column L ₄ of the fourth group 36 skewed is connected from the downstream end of column L ₃ of the third group 34 in the opposite direction (from left to right), The rows L ₄ of the fourth group 36 are also positioned side by side and at equal intervals.

Next, referring to FIG. 9, a plurality of vertical lines constituting columns L ₁ , L ₂ , L ₃ , and L ₄ included in the first to fourth groups 30, 32, 34, and 36 described above, respectively. By attaching the reference numerals used in FIG. 1 to the member 26, the relationship with the structural unit of the vertical line member described in FIG. 1 is shown. In this example, the additional vertical line members 3 and 4 are constituted by a total of four. Reference numerals 4, 4 ′, 4 ″, and 3 are added to the additional vertical members in order from the upstream side to the downstream side.

  FIG. 9 is an enlarged view showing the arrangement of the vertical line members 26. Each vertical line member 26 is made of a rod having a circular cross section with a diameter P1, and when viewed from the fluid flow direction D, the pitch P2 between the adjacent vertical line members 26, 26 is each vertical line shape. The distance is the same as the diameter of the member 26. Therefore, when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path, the vertical linear members 26 constituting each row L are in contact with each other. The pitch P3 in the flow direction D of the flow path between the vertical linear members 26 and 26 adjacent to each other in the fluid flow direction D is an interval 2.5 times the diameter of the vertical linear member 26. In addition, the pitch P4 between the vertical linear members 26 and 26 adjacent to each other in the direction crossing the fluid flow direction D (the width direction of the flow path) is an interval 4.5 times the diameter of the vertical linear member 26. .

The row L ₃ of the third group 34 is arranged to be offset in the width direction of the flow channel with respect to the row L ₂ of the second group 32 located on the upstream side. This offset is positioned in the middle of the two adjacent rows L ₃ and L ₃ of the third group 34 as the most preferable mode, but this offset amount is arbitrary.

Further, as a preferred embodiment, when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path, the vertical linear member 26 (1) located on the most upstream side of the row L1 in the _first group 30 having a "<" shape The vertical linear members 26 (3) located on the most upstream side in the row L2 of the _second group 32 are arranged in contact with each other when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path. The same applies to the contacts of the rows L ₃ and L ₄ of the third and fourth groups 34 and 36, that is, the vertices of the “<” shape. Regarding the positional relationship of the contacted state, as a modification, an overlapping relationship may be used.

  As can be best understood from FIG. 9, the arrangement of the vertical linear members 26 is such that, when viewed in plan, the “<” shape array is located side by side, and this “<>” shape array flows. Although a two-stage configuration in the upper and lower directions is adopted in the direction D, it may be one stage or a plurality of stages of three or more stages.

  By arranging these "<"-shaped arrays side by side in the width direction of the channel at a predetermined interval, the "<"-shaped diagonals are arranged between adjacent "<" shaped arrays. A path B is formed. When viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path, the plurality of vertical line members 26 constituting this “<” shape arrangement are in contact with each other or partially overlap each other. And, when viewed from the flow direction D of the flow path, the interval between the two “<” shapes adjacent to each other in the width direction of the flow path is the vertical line-shaped member located on the most upstream side 26 and the vertical line-shaped member 26 that constitutes the apex of the “<” shape are in contact with each other or partially overlap each other.

  With the configuration described above, the width of the flow path of the main unit 12 is defined by the left and right side plates 22 and 22. Then, the flow flowing through this flow path is disturbed while colliding with a plurality of vertical line members 26 arranged in a “<” shape. Then, due to the disturbance of the flow, the direction of the filamentous body (typically hair) included in the roux is changed, and the possibility of being entangled with the vertical linear member 26 can be increased. Of course, since the fluid has the slant path B between adjacent “<” shapes, the slant path B (FIG. 8) collides with the fluid flowing from the flow direction D of the flow path. Then, it moves downstream while further disturbing the flow.

  If the fluid is roux or the like, it has viscosity, so that the flow of roux generates a certain depth in the upstream portion. Therefore, the height dimension of the vertical line member 26 may be determined with this depth in mind.

  As apparent from the above, the distance between the first and second vertical linear members 1 and 2 (FIG. 1) and the number of additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 (FIG. 1) according to the present invention are arbitrary. . The thickness and height of the vertical line members 1 to 4 (FIG. 1) may be determined according to the physical properties (viscosity etc.) of the fluid, and the distance between the first and second vertical line members 1 and 2 and What is necessary is just to determine the number of additional vertical linear members.

  Here, as a mechanism for actively disturbing the flow of the fluid without unnecessarily obstructing the flow of the fluid in order to effectively capture the filament contained in the fluid by the filament capturing device of the present invention, The following embodiments can be mentioned, and the present invention includes these.

(1) With reference to FIG. 1, the space | interval of the 1st, 2nd vertical linear members 1 and 2 is expanded, and the number of the additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 is increased. For example, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, if a plurality of additional vertical line members are arranged obliquely in a straight line or zigzag manner, a relatively long distance oblique path B is formed. , It becomes easy to induce the flow of the fluid with viscosity.

(2) As a specific example of the above (1), the distance between the first and second vertical line members 1 and 2 (FIG. 1) included in the structural unit is the thickness of the vertical line member 1 (2). An interval of 1.5 to 10 times may be set. Moreover, the number of the additional vertical linear members 3 and 4 (FIG. 1) which comprise a structural unit may be 3-10.

(3) Regarding the arrangement of the “<” characters of the vertical linear member 26 described with reference to FIG. 9, in the example of FIG. 9, the arrangement of the “<” characters is the same on both the upstream side and the downstream side. The direction of the letter “ku” may be changed between the upstream side and the downstream side. For example, the upstream side may be arranged in a “K” shape and the downstream side may be arranged in a “reverse” shape.

  10 and 11 are views showing the second unit 14, FIG. 10 is a plan view, and FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view. The second unit 14 includes left and right side plates 40 and a plurality of cross linear members 42 extending between the left and right side plates 40 and 40. Reference numeral 44 shown in FIG. 11 indicates an opening. The second unit 14 is detachable from the main unit 12, and the second unit 14 can be operated by inserting a finger into the opening 44. That is, the outer surfaces of the side plates 40, 40 of the second unit 14 are fitted to the inner surfaces of the left and right side plates 22 of the main unit 12, and the second unit 14 is opposite to the edge provided with the opening 44. Is fitted into the main unit 12 so that the edge of the main body 12 contacts the bottom plate 20 of the main unit 12. In this case, the plurality of cross linear members 42 of the second unit 14 are positioned and fitted between the plurality of vertical linear members 26 of the main unit 12. (See FIGS. 5 and 13). The mechanism for capturing the filamentous body of the cross linear member 42 is arbitrary, and the same mechanism as the vertical linear member 26 can be adopted. As the cross linear member 42 shown in the figure, for example, a long screw having the same diameter as that of the vertical linear member 26 can be employed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the plurality of cross linear members 42 employ an arrangement in which two sharp peaks are connected when viewed from the side. Is optional. The orientation may be changed to form a W-shaped arrangement. The state where the cross linear member 42 is assembled to the main unit 12 is shown in FIGS. A point to be noted regarding the arrangement of the cross linear members 42 is that when the second unit 14 is assembled to the main unit 12, the cross linear members 42 do not interfere with the vertical linear members 26 of the main unit 12. What is necessary is just to determine arrangement | positioning of the shaped member 42. FIG.

  As can be seen from FIG. 13, the flow of the fluid first collides with the vertical line-shaped member 26 of the main unit 12 and easily accumulates upstream, but the cross-line-shaped member 42 of the second unit 14 of the embodiment. According to this arrangement example, the cross linear member 42 is arranged in a relatively high density state (arrangement of sharp peaks) in the upstream portion where it is easy to collect, so that it collides with the cross linear member 42. Can create turbulence in various directions in the fluid flow. Thereby, the probability that the filament contained in the fluid is entangled with the vertical linear member 26 or the cross linear member 42 can be increased.

  Like the capturing tool 10 of the embodiment, the main unit 12 is assembled with the vertical linear member 26 and the second unit 14 is assembled with the cross linear member 42, and the first and second units 12, Since 14 can be separated, these washings can be easily performed.

  As described above, the application example of the present invention has been described by taking, as an example, the thread-like body capturing tool 10 suitable for a liquid having a viscosity of stew or curry roux, but the present invention is a liquid such as water, powder, or granule. It can be suitably applied to. Depending on the type of fluid to be applied and the amount per unit time, the second unit 14 may be removed.

  As a modification example regarding the arrangement of the cross linear members 42, the cross linear members 42 may be formed of a relatively short bar, for example, and fixed to an arbitrary height position of the vertical linear member 26 by, for example, welding. .

The thread-like body capturing tool of the present invention can be applied to catch a thread-like body in a fluid including a fluid having viscosity in addition to a liquid such as powder, granules and water. The thread-like body capturing tool of the present invention can capture the thread-like body contained in the fluid by being incorporated into a flow path such as a bag, for example, a flow path formed by a cylindrical tube. The fluid to which the present invention can be applied may be a fluid that constantly flows in the flow path, or a fluid that intermittently flows in the flow path.
In the filament-shaped body capturing tool of the above-described embodiment, the structural units of the vertical linear members are arranged so as to be regularly distributed over the entire width direction of the flow path. The vertical line members may be irregularly distributed, and the vertical line members are sparsely arranged on the upstream side, and the vertical line members are densely arranged on the downstream side. Needless to say, various application modifications are possible, such as changing the size of the constituent unit of the linear member.
