Description

  The present invention relates to a self-propelled roasting apparatus equipped with an independent power source and an independent heat source that enables the roasting apparatus to be self-propelled and can perform roasting processing independently during or at the movement destination.

  Conventionally, as a roasting machine for roasting a few hundred grams to 1 kilogram of green coffee beans, a hobby or sample in which green coffee beans are put in a hand net, ceramics, a metal pot or a hand drum and heated. There was a roasting machine. In the case of this type of roasting machine, the roasted beans need only be spread on a vat and cooled and can be roasted easily. The roasting machine itself was simple in structure and light in weight.

  However, when it comes to a roasting machine for commercial use that roasts raw beans of about 1 to several tens of kilograms, it is heated evenly while being put in a drum and rotating at a constant speed in order to heat the green beans uniformly. It is necessary to roast. In particular, when the amount of green beans reaches this level, the amount of chaff (burning husk), water vapor, and gas generated during roasting increases. Can not do it. For this reason, in the case of commercial roasting machines, together with heat sources such as electric heaters and gas burners for roasting machines that heat green beans, the drum containing green beans is rotated at a constant speed, and the damper is opened and closed. A power supply such as a cooling fan for rotating the air supply / exhaust fan while adjusting the degree or cooling the roasted beans is required.

  Furthermore, when it comes to an industrial roasting machine that roasts tens of kilograms or more of raw beans, in addition to a larger heat source, supply / exhaust fan, cooling fan, raw beans are put into the drum or after roasting Ancillary equipment such as a transporter that transports coffee beans is also required.

  As described above, a roasting machine that roasts green beans of several hundred grams to 1 kilogram can be easily carried because of its simple structure and light weight. However, the purpose of carrying this type of roasting machine is merely transportation, and the roasting uses a heat source (such as a stove) or a power source (such as an outlet). Some small roasting machines that roast raw beans of about 1 kilogram are placed on a caster base. It is intended only for short distance movement near the installation position, and since it is pushed and moved by humans, the weight of the roasting machine is limited.

  In a commercial roasting machine that roasts raw beans of about 1 to several tens of kilograms, or an industrial roasting machine that roasts raw beans of several tens of kilograms or more, the power source and heat source used are In addition to being large, the roasting machine itself has a weight of several hundred kilos to several tons, so there has never been an idea to move it.

  In particular, immediately after roasting coffee beans, heat, carbon dioxide, etc. are generated from the beans, so it is necessary to cool them rapidly and store them for several days until the original aroma of coffee comes out and can be drunk. For this reason, it was difficult to take a sales form in which coffee beans were roasted in front of you and sold.

  In addition, in the case of commercial or industrial roasting machines, it is necessary to handle various types of raw beans collected from all over the world, and there are differences in types and grades even in the same production area, and even the same coffee beans are consumed. In order to change the roasting depth and blend ratio according to the preference of restaurants, coffee shops or wholesalers, the roasting machine itself is fixedly installed in the roasting plant or roasting factory and roasted according to the user's needs Coffee beans are sorted and shipped. As described above, since the installation location of a commercial or industrial roasting machine is fixed, there is no degree of freedom, and it is necessary to secure in advance the real estate that will be the installation location. there were. Furthermore, even if it was found that the location was bad after opening, it was not easy to move, so the selection of the installation location was accompanied by a risk. Evidence that this commercial or industrial roasting machine is premised on fixed installation can be seen from the order estimate that the roasting machine price always includes the shipping and installation fees. .

Thus, the roasting machine can be independently driven by the independent power source, and thus an effect is achieved that the roasting process can be performed independently during movement or at the movement destination. This eliminates the need for fixed installation of the roasting machine, eliminates the risk of selecting the installation location, and eliminates the need to secure the real estate as the installation location in advance. In addition, if roasting can be performed while moving, the roasting time can be used effectively. Furthermore, although it is not usually carried around even with a small and light sample roaster, even if you try and roast coffee beans using a sample roaster, you can only taste the sample roaster, but on a daily basis There is an advantage that you can check the taste of green beans using a commercial or industrial roaster that you are familiar with.

  Further, according to the invention according to claim 2, the independent power source includes rotation of the drum of the roasting machine, a cooling fan for cooling the roasted material after roasting, and a power source for driving at least one of the exhaust fans. Therefore, even if it is a full-scale roasting machine for business use or industrial use, there is an effect that the roasting process can be performed independently during or at the moving destination.

  Moreover, according to the invention concerning Claim 3, since it further has the conveyance vehicle which isolate | separates and can move a roaster from a self-propelled vehicle, the self-propelled vehicle to be used is properly used according to the objective and the condition. As a result, there is an effect that the transfer can be easily performed using the transport vehicle. Moreover, it can be taken down from the self-propelled vehicle and used as a fixed roasting machine, which has the effect that the range of use can be greatly expanded.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, at least one of the independent heat source fuel used in the roasting machine and the independent power source is shared with the traveling fuel used for the self-propelled vehicle or the traveling power source. Therefore, it is possible to omit a sharable component, and it is possible to save space and cost. Furthermore, since the remaining fuel management and the remaining power capacity management can be unified, there is an effect that the management becomes easier.

  Exemplary embodiments of a self-propelled roasting apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a self-propelled roasting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a self-propelled roasting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes a roasting machine 10 for roasting green coffee beans, and an independent power source 14 for driving and controlling the roasting machine 10. And an independent fuel 16 to be supplied to the heat source of the roasting machine 10 and a self-propelled vehicle that is equipped with the roasting machine 10 and that is self-propelled by the power source 123. The self-propelled vehicle 12 further includes a travel fuel 121 for driving the power source 123 and a travel power source 122 for supplying power necessary for traveling the self-propelled vehicle.

  A feature of the self-propelled roasting machine 1 of the present invention is that a roasting machine 10 for commercial use having a roasting capacity of green beans of 3 kg to 5 kg is mounted on a self-propelled vehicle that self-propels by a power source 123, It is in the point which is equipped with the independent power supply 14 which can roast green beans independently in driving | running | working of the roasting machine 10, or a movement destination, and the independent fuel 16 supplied to the heat source of a roasting machine.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a detailed configuration of the roasting machine of FIG. A roasting machine 10 shown in FIG. 2 is a commercial roasting machine and has a weight of about 100 kg to 200 kg, and is normally fixedly installed in a store or a factory. The power source used also requires power consumption of about 600W to 1400W. In this roasting machine 10, green beans are put into a rotating drum 102 from an inlet 108 and heated by a burner 101 as a heat source while rotating the rotating drum 102 at a constant speed by a motor. During roasting, the fan 103 is rotated while adjusting a damper (not shown) to discharge the combustion gas from the duct 106 and the cooling air from the cooler 104. The roasted coffee beans are transferred from the discharge port 105 to the cooler 104 and rapidly cooled to prevent the roasting from proceeding further. The control panel 107 controls the entire roasting machine 10.

  The roasting machine 10 of FIG. 2 according to this embodiment has a fuel 16 dedicated to an independent heat source and is supplied from here. Further, since power is supplied to the roasting machine 10 from the independent power supply 14, the rotating drum 102 can be rotated, the control panel 107 can be driven, and the fan 103 can be rotated.

  The independent power source 14 is used here as a power source for driving the rotation of the rotating drum 102 and the fan 103 that serves as both a cooling fan and a supply / exhaust fan. However, it is not always necessary to take all the power sources from the independent power source 14. Alternatively, it may be used as a power source for driving at least one of them.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram in which a roaster is mounted on a self-propelled vehicle using a transport vehicle. As shown in FIG. 3, when the roasting machine 10 is mounted on the self-propelled vehicle 12, the roasting machine 10 is mounted via the transport vehicle 20, and the roasting machine 10 is moved in the direction of the white arrow A using the transport vehicle 20. You can easily transfer to other self-propelled vehicles. In addition, the roasting machine 10 can be temporarily lowered from the self-propelled vehicle 12 and used as a fixed roasting machine. Here, the vehicle-mounted transport vehicle 20 that bends at the height of the self-propelled vehicle 12 from the leg 22 of the transport vehicle 20 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as the transfer movement from the self-propelled vehicle 12 is possible. .

  As described above, the roaster according to the present embodiment is configured to be integrated with a dedicated self-propelled vehicle. However, the biomass vehicle, the hydrogen vehicle, the electric vehicle, the hybrid vehicle, the natural gas vehicle, the LP gas vehicle, and the gasoline vehicle. It can also be suitably implemented by integrating with any one of the diesel engine vehicles.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the self-propelled roasting apparatus 1 in which the independent power source and fuel of the roasting machine of FIG. 1 are shared with the traveling fuel and the traveling power source of the self-propelled vehicle. Although FIG. 4 will be described by taking a hybrid vehicle using LP gas as an example, it is not necessarily limited to this. As shown in FIG. 4, LP gas is used as the running fuel 121, and the burner as a heat source of the roasting machine 10 also uses LP gas. In addition, the self-propelled vehicle 12 that generates power when traveling using LP gas as the traveling fuel 121 and that is stored in a storage battery (not shown) is used as the traveling power source 122. You may make it take from this power supply 122 for driving | running | working. In that case, the self-propelled vehicle 12 consumes power when roasting using the roasting machine 10 while it is stopped, and when the remaining storage capacity in the storage battery decreases, the engine as the power source is automatically turned on to generate electricity. To start. In this way, the self-propelled vehicle 12 can be used as a generator.

  Thus, by sharing the independent power source and heat source fuel of the roasting machine 10 with the traveling fuel and traveling power source of the self-propelled vehicle 12, the number of components can be reduced and the number of parts can be reduced. Therefore, the apparatus cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the management of the fuel and the storage capacity can be unified, there is an advantage that the management of the self-propelled roasting apparatus 1 becomes easy.

  Further, as an embodiment other than the above, an afterburner for purifying the exhaust gas of the roasting machine 10 or a flue gas purifying device such as desulfurization may be further mounted on the self-propelled vehicle 12. As a result, the coffee can be roasted even while traveling, so that the roasted beans can be delivered to the customer by effectively using the time to move to the destination. Further, the exhaust gas may be purified by burning the exhaust gas of the roasting machine 10 again using the engine of the self-propelled vehicle 12 without using the afterburner.

  In addition, the above-described hybrid vehicle can effectively use the electricity generated during traveling, so that the roasting process can be performed more efficiently. Furthermore, if it is a plug-in hybrid that can be charged with a recent household power source, it is possible to perform traveling and roasting with higher fuel efficiency.

  1 to 4, an example of using a medium-sized commercial roasting machine having a roasting capacity of about 3 kg to 5 kg has been explained. However, an industrial roasting machine of about 20 kg to 100 kg is large-sized. It is also possible to carry it on the self-propelled vehicle.

  As described above, even medium-sized to large-sized roasting machines for business use or industrial use can be mounted on a self-propelled vehicle and can be roasted independently while traveling or at the destination. There is no need to fix the roasting machine, and there is no risk in selecting the location.

  Moreover, since it is not necessary to secure in advance a real estate as a place for installing the roasting machine, there is an effect that the start-up funds can be reduced. In addition, if roasting can be performed while moving, the roasting time can be used effectively. Furthermore, unlike the trial roasting of coffee beans using a sample roaster, it can be roasted using a roasting machine that is commonly used by green beans suppliers to check the taste of green beans. Therefore, reliable purchase can be performed.

  In addition, by mounting the roasting machine on the self-propelled vehicle 12 using the transport vehicle 20, it is possible to easily change the transfer so that the self-propelled vehicle to be used can be properly used according to the purpose and situation. Furthermore, it can be taken out of the self-propelled vehicle and used as a fixed roasting machine, which greatly expands the range of use.

  In addition, if at least one of the fuel of the independent heat source used in the roasting machine and the independent power source is shared with the fuel for traveling used in the self-propelled vehicle or the power source for traveling, the number of parts can be reduced. , Space saving and cost reduction. Furthermore, the remaining fuel management and the remaining power capacity management can be unified so that the management becomes easier.
