DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stirrer, and more particularly to, for example, mixing of a seafood as a raw material with a seasoning without damaging the seafood as a raw material to obtain a seasoned seafood. And a stirrer suitable for washing the fish and shellfish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various types of stirrers for mixing and stirring foods such as fish and shellfish as raw materials and the raw materials and seasonings. To obtain the surimi, a crusher is used. The crusher is configured such that a plurality of seasonings such as sugar and mirin mixed in the raw material can be mixed by rotating a plurality of propeller-like stirring blades.

[0003] In such a stirring apparatus, the stirring time (crushing time) varies depending on the amount of the object to be stirred and the number of rotations of the stirring blade, but the longer the stirring time is, the better without damaging the product. It can be mixed and a fine-grained product can be obtained.

[0004]

However, in the case of the above-described stirring device, the object to be stirred is agitated by forcibly rotating the stirring blade, and thus has the following problems. That is: 1) When rotating the stirring blade, a large load is applied to the stirring device, and its durability is poor. 2) Friction heat is easily generated, and when the object to be stirred is fish and shellfish, proteins in the components of the fish and shellfish are likely to undergo thermal denaturation. 3) The object to be stirred is easily damaged and noise is easily generated. 4) Since the stirring blade is fixed and has a complicated configuration, it is difficult to clean the stirring blade, and the stirring container tends to be unsanitary. And other issues.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object the purpose of which is easy cleaning and handling without damaging objects to be stirred such as fish and shellfish, and good hygiene. An object of the present invention is to provide a stirring device capable of maintaining a state.

[0006]

A stirrer according to the present invention as a means for achieving the above-mentioned object is a stirrer for mixing an object to be stirred such as fish and shellfish and stirring the object to be stirred. A rodless air cylinder equipped with a speed control air valve is disposed at the upper center of the stirring vessel, and a plate-like stirring blade is detachably suspended from a linearly reciprocating sliding body of the rodless air cylinder. The stirring blades are arranged with an inclination of 15 to 20 ° with respect to the moving direction of the sliding body, and the stirring blades have rounded edges.

[0007]

The stirrer according to the present invention operates a rodless air cylinder after putting an object to be stirred such as fish and shellfish into a stirring vessel, and controls the supply and discharge of air with a speed control air valve. By moving the sliding body of the rodless air cylinder linearly reciprocating, the stirring blade moves in the stirring vessel by the movement of the sliding body. The object to be stirred in the stirring vessel can be stirred without difficulty by the linear reciprocating motion of the stirring blade.

Here, since the stirring blade is operated by a rodless air cylinder, the moving speed of the stirring blade at the beginning of the operation is slow due to the amount of the object to be stirred in the stirring vessel, the viscosity of the stirring object, and the like. The object to be agitated gradually rises and moves smoothly, so that the object to be stirred can be prevented from being damaged by friction. In addition, since the stirring blades are arranged with an inclination of 15 to 20 degrees with respect to the moving direction of the sliding body, a flow can be generated in the object to be stirred and a smooth movement can be given. Further, since the stirring blade is detachably suspended from the rodless air cylinder and can be easily separated from the stirring container, the cleaning and handling thereof can be facilitated, and a good sanitary condition can be maintained.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, FIG. 2 is a plan view,
FIG. 3 is a side view of the stirring blade.

The stirrer according to the present embodiment is a stirrer embodied as a stirrer for mixing fish meat and seasoning to obtain seasoned fish meat. Generally, the stirrer for mixing fish meat and seasoning is used. A container 1, a rodless air cylinder 2, and a rodless air cylinder 2
The agitating blade 3 is suspended from three portions.

The stirring vessel 1 is a vessel (water tank) for mixing fish meat and seasonings, and is usually made of FRP, is formed as a rectangular-shaped container, and has an inner periphery formed with a radius. ing. A rodless air cylinder 2 is suspended at the center of the stirring vessel 1 along the longitudinal direction.

The rodless air cylinder 2 includes the stirring vessel 1
A cylinder for reciprocating the stirring blade 3 in a straight line therein, and having a sliding body 4 for hooking the stirring blade 3;
In addition, speed control air valves 5 and 6 for linearly moving the slide body 4 are provided at the ends. An electromagnetic valve 7, a timer 8, and a drive source 9 are connected to the speed control air valves 5, 6.

The stirring blade 3 is a blade made of a plate having a square thickness (usually made of stainless steel), and has a hook 1 at its upper end for hooking on a slide 4.
0 is provided. The stirring blade 3 is provided with a sliding member 4.
Is tilted at an angle of 15 to 20 °, more preferably, at an angle of 18 to 20 ° with respect to the moving direction of. Here, the reason why the inclination angle α is set to 15 to 20 ° is that when the inclination angle α is 14 ° or less, the stirring blade 3
Considering that the fish meat is uniformly in contact with the entire surface, the load on the cylinder 2 is large and the generation of frictional heat increases, and that if it exceeds 20 °, the fish meat cannot be sufficiently agitated. by. Further, the stirring blade 3 has a certain thickness, and a rounded edge is formed at the periphery thereof. This gives the fish meat a smooth flow.

The agitating vessel 1, the rodless air cylinder 2, and the agitating blade 3 are usually set as follows. That is, the stirring container 1 is 700 m wide.
m, length: 1000 mm, depth: 700 mm, the rodless air cylinder 2 is selected to have a length that can be suspended in the vertical direction of the stirring vessel 1, and the stirring blade 3 is 450 m
mx 460mm size, thickness 10mm ~ 50m
50 m between the blade and the inner bottom surface of the stirring vessel 1.
100-150mm between the left and right wall surfaces
It is arranged so that a gap of a certain degree is formed.

Next, a method of using the stirring apparatus of this embodiment will be described. First, fish meat to be seasoned and a seasoning are placed in the stirring vessel 1. Then, the rodless air cylinder 2 is operated by the drive source 9 and the speed control air valves 5 and 6 are adjusted to control the amount of air supply / discharge. When the sliding body 4 of the rodless air cylinder 2 is linearly reciprocated, the stirring blade 3 moves in the stirring vessel 1 by the movement of the sliding body 4.

In this case, since the fish meat in the stirring vessel 1 has no flow, the sliding body 4 moves gently without sufficiently transmitting the air force, which is the driving source of the cylinder 2, and a certain amount of flow occurs in the fish meat. Occurs, the stirring blade 3 moves at a speed previously adjusted by the speed control air valves 5 and 6 of the cylinder 2, and the fish meat and the seasoning are sufficiently stirred. Further, the stirring blade 3 has an inclination angle α of 15
Since it is arranged at an angle of ２０20 °, the fish meat is caused to flow backward along the inclination angle, is smoothly stirred, and seasoned fish meat is obtained.

The stirring operation by the stirring blade 3 is normally performed for a time set by the solenoid valve 7 and the timer 8. Then, for example, using a stirring vessel 1, a rodless air cylinder 2, and a stirring blade 3 having the above-described form, 100 kg of fish meat, 150 seasonings,
In order to obtain seasoned fish meat by mixing kg, the stirring blade is caused to reciprocate linearly by 3 to 4 kg of air pressure. And in this case, without damaging the fish meat,
Seasoned fish meat is obtained. Also, since the linear reciprocating motion of the stirring blade 3 is performed by the rodless air cylinder 2,
Oil and dust can be reduced from being mixed during stirring, and the stirring operation can be performed quietly. Further, after the stirring is completed, the hook 1 is disengaged from the sliding member 4 of the rodless air cylinder 2.
By removing the stirring blade 3 through the nozzle 0, the stirring blade 3 and the stirring container 1 can be easily cleaned and disinfected. Therefore, seasoned fish meat can always be obtained in a sanitary manner.
