Description

本発明は、液槽中の浮遊物の移動制御装置およびカット野菜の殺菌装置に関し、詳しくは水槽等の中に浮遊しているカット野菜等の浮遊物をジェット水流により移動させる制御装置およびカット野菜の殺菌装置に関する。   TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a movement control device for floating substances in a liquid tank and a sterilization apparatus for cut vegetables, and more specifically, a control apparatus and a cut vegetable for moving floating substances such as cut vegetables floating in a water tank or the like by jet water flow. Relates to the sterilization apparatus.

従来、野菜等を炭酸水により殺菌する装置として、特許文献１に記載の「高濃度炭酸水による洗浄方法及び洗浄装置」がある。これは野菜等の被洗浄物をバケットに入れて搬送コンベアにより搬送しながら炭酸水に浸漬して殺菌する装置である。
特開２００４−２４９２６号公報 Conventionally, as a device for sterilizing vegetables or the like with carbonated water, there is a “cleaning method and cleaning device with high-concentration carbonated water” described in Patent Document 1. This is an apparatus for sterilizing by immersing an object to be cleaned such as vegetables in a bucket and immersing it in carbonated water while being conveyed by a conveyor.
JP 2004-24926 A

しかしながら、上述した装置は、被洗浄物を搬送する装置として、バケット、搬送コンベアの他に駆動モータ等が必要であり、機構が複雑で部品点数が多い。そのため、装置のイニシャルコストが大きくなるとともに、その修理、保守のためのランニングコストも必要となり、洗浄・殺菌のコストが高くなるという問題があり、もっと安価に処理できる装置の出現が望まれていた。そこで、本発明は、構造が簡単で、ランニングコストも僅かである、液槽中の浮遊物の移動制御装置およびカット野菜の殺菌装置を提案することを目的とした。   However, the apparatus described above requires a drive motor and the like in addition to a bucket and a conveyor as an apparatus for conveying an object to be cleaned, and has a complicated mechanism and a large number of parts. For this reason, the initial cost of the apparatus is increased, and a running cost for repair and maintenance is also required, which increases the cost of cleaning and sterilization, and the appearance of an apparatus that can be processed at a lower cost has been desired. . Therefore, the present invention has an object to propose a movement control device for floating substances in a liquid tank and a sterilization device for cut vegetables, which have a simple structure and a low running cost.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の液槽中の浮遊物の移動制御装置は、少なくとも下半分が断面半円形であるとともに該断面半円形部分の直径よりも軸方向が長い液槽と、該液槽の一端に形成されて端部が切頭円錐形状に狭まった排出口と、該排出口の下方に設置された溢水受け槽と、該溢水受け槽内の溢水を吸引加圧して配管に送出するポンプと、前記配管の末端に接続されるとともに、前記液槽の断面半円形部分内側に軸方向適間隔に配置されて噴射方向が略接線方向である複数の噴射ノズルと、該噴射ノズルにそれぞれ接続されて吐出圧を調整する吐出圧調整弁とを備え、前記液槽内に浮遊している浮遊物を前記排出口から排出させたい場合は前記吐出圧調整弁を操作して排出口に最も近い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口から遠ざかるにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くして浮遊物を前記排出口から排出させることを可能にし、前記液槽内に浮遊している浮遊物を液槽内に滞留させたい場合は前記吐出圧調整弁を操作して排出口に最も遠い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口に近づくにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くして浮遊物が前記排出口から遠ざかるようにしたことを特徴とする。   In order to solve the above problem, the floating body movement control device in the liquid tank of the present invention has a liquid tank whose at least the lower half is semicircular in cross section and whose axial direction is longer than the diameter of the semicircular section. A discharge port formed at one end of the liquid tank and having an end narrowed in a truncated conical shape, an overflow receiving tank installed below the discharge port, and piping by sucking and pressurizing the overflow water in the overflow receiving tank A plurality of injection nozzles that are connected to the ends of the pipes and are arranged at appropriate intervals in the axial direction inside the semicircular section of the liquid tank and whose injection direction is substantially tangential, and the injection A discharge pressure adjusting valve that is connected to each nozzle and adjusts the discharge pressure. When the suspended matter floating in the liquid tank is to be discharged from the discharge port, the discharge pressure adjusting valve is operated to discharge the suspended matter. If the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle closest to the outlet is maximized, The discharge pressure of the spray nozzle is decreased in order as the distance increases, and the floating substance can be discharged from the discharge port. When the floating substance floating in the liquid tank is desired to stay in the liquid tank, the discharge pressure is used. The adjustment valve is operated to maximize the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle farthest from the discharge port, and gradually decrease the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle as it approaches the discharge port so that the suspended matter moves away from the discharge port. To do.

ここで、前記吐出圧調整弁は電磁比例弁であって、浮遊物を前記排出口から排出させる場合は排出口に最も近い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口から遠ざかるにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くなるように前記電磁比例弁を作動させる第１の制御手段と、浮遊物を液槽内に滞留させる場合は排出口に最も遠い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口へ近づくにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くなるように前記電磁比例弁を作動させる第２の制御手段とを備えることも可能である。なお、前記排出口の部分に排出された浮遊物を搬出するためのベルトコンベアを設けることが好ましい。   Here, the discharge pressure adjusting valve is an electromagnetic proportional valve, and when discharging suspended matter from the discharge port, the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle is increased as the discharge pressure is adjusted to the maximum from the discharge nozzle closest to the discharge port. The first control means for operating the electromagnetic proportional valve so as to decrease the pressure in order, and in the case where the suspended matter stays in the liquid tank, the discharge pressure of the spray nozzle farthest from the discharge port is maximized and approaches the discharge port Accordingly, it is possible to provide a second control means for operating the electromagnetic proportional valve so that the discharge pressure of the injection nozzles decreases in order. In addition, it is preferable to provide a belt conveyor for carrying out the suspended matter discharged to the discharge port portion.

また、本発明のカット野菜の殺菌装置は、少なくとも下半分が断面半円形であるとともに該断面半円形部分の直径よりも軸方向が長く形成されて内部にカット野菜と消毒水が貯留される水槽と、該水槽の一端に形成されて端部が切頭円錐形状に狭まった排出口と、該排出口の下方に設置された溢水受け槽と、該溢水受け槽内の溢水を吸引加圧して配管に送出するポンプと、前記配管の末端に接続されるとともに、前記水槽の断面半円形部分内側に軸方向適間隔に配置されて噴射方向が略接線方向である複数の噴射ノズルと、該噴射ノズルにそれぞれ接続されて吐出圧を調整する吐出圧調整弁とを備え、前記水槽内に浮遊しているカット野菜を前記排出口から排出させたい場合は前記吐出圧調整弁を操作して排出口に最も近い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口から遠ざかるにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くしてカット野菜を前記排出口から排出させることを可能にし、前記水槽内に浮遊しているカット野菜を水槽内に滞留させたい場合は前記吐出圧調整弁を操作して排出口に最も遠い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口に近づくにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くしてカット野菜が前記排出口から遠ざかるようにしたことを特徴とする。   The cut vegetable sterilization apparatus of the present invention is a water tank in which at least the lower half is semicircular in cross section and the axial direction is longer than the diameter of the semicircular portion of the cross section, and cut vegetables and disinfecting water are stored inside A suction port formed at one end of the water tank and having an end narrowed in a truncated conical shape, an overflow receiving tank installed below the discharge port, and the overflow in the overflow receiving tank by suction and pressurization A pump for feeding to a pipe, a plurality of injection nozzles connected to the end of the pipe, arranged at appropriate intervals in the axial direction inside the semicircular section of the water tank, and having a substantially tangential injection direction; A discharge pressure adjusting valve that is connected to each nozzle to adjust the discharge pressure, and when the cut vegetables floating in the water tank are to be discharged from the discharge port, the discharge pressure adjusting valve is operated to operate the discharge port. Discharge from the nearest injection nozzle It is possible to discharge the cut vegetables from the discharge port by decreasing the discharge pressure of the spray nozzle in order as the distance from the discharge port is maximized, and to retain the cut vegetables floating in the water tank in the water tank In this case, the discharge pressure adjusting valve is operated to maximize the discharge pressure of the spray nozzle farthest from the discharge port, and as the discharge port is approached, the discharge pressure of the spray nozzle is decreased in order so that the cut vegetables move away from the discharge port. It is characterized by that.

ここで、前記吐出圧調整弁は電磁比例弁であって、カット野菜を前記排出口から排出させる場合は排出口に最も近い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口から遠ざかるにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くなるように前記電磁比例弁を作動させる第１の制御手段と、カット野菜を水槽内に滞留させる場合は排出口に最も遠い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口へ近づくにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くなるように前記電磁比例弁を作動させる第２の制御手段とを備えたことも可能である。なお、前記排出口の部分に排出されたカット野菜を搬出するためのベルトコンベアを設けることが好ましい。   Here, the discharge pressure adjusting valve is an electromagnetic proportional valve, and when discharging cut vegetables from the discharge port, the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle is increased as the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle closest to the discharge port is maximized and moved away from the discharge port. The first control means for operating the electromagnetic proportional valve so as to decrease the pressure in order, and when the cut vegetables are retained in the water tank, the discharge pressure of the spray nozzle farthest from the discharge port is maximized and approaches the discharge port It is also possible to provide a second control means for operating the electromagnetic proportional valve so that the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle is lowered in order. In addition, it is preferable to provide the belt conveyor for carrying out the cut vegetables discharged | emitted to the part of the said discharge port.

以上述べたように本発明によれば、水槽内のカット野菜等の浮遊物は、ベルヌーイの定理から噴射ノズルの噴射水流に吸引されてその水流の循環に沿って流れて循環する。このとき噴射ノズルが複数並行に設置されていると、吐出圧の低い噴射ノズルから高い噴射ノズルに順に吸引されて移動するため、水槽からカット野菜等の浮遊物を排出する場合は、排出口に最も近い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口から遠ざかるにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くなるようにすることで、カット野菜等の浮遊物が排出口の方向へ移動していき排出口から排出される。水槽内にカット野菜等の浮遊物を滞留させる場合は排出口に最も遠い噴射ノズルの吐出圧を最高にして排出口へ近づくにつれて噴射ノズルの吐出圧を順に低くなるようにすることで、カット野菜等の浮遊物は排出口から遠ざかるように移動して水槽内に留まる。   As described above, according to the present invention, suspended matter such as cut vegetables in the water tank is sucked by the jet water flow of the jet nozzle from Bernoulli's theorem, and flows and circulates along the water flow circulation. At this time, if a plurality of spray nozzles are installed in parallel, they are sucked and moved in order from the spray nozzle with the low discharge pressure to the high spray nozzle. By making the discharge pressure of the nearest injection nozzle the highest and moving away from the discharge port, the discharge pressure of the injection nozzle decreases in order, so that floating substances such as cut vegetables move in the direction of the discharge port and from the discharge port Discharged. When staying suspended matter such as cut vegetables in the aquarium, cut the vegetables by increasing the discharge pressure of the spray nozzle farthest from the discharge port and decreasing the discharge pressure of the spray nozzle in order as it approaches the discharge port. Etc. The floating substance moves away from the outlet and stays in the aquarium.

このように、本発明では、極めて簡単な構造で、水槽内に浮遊するカット野菜等の浮遊物の移動を制御することが可能となり、カット野菜の殺菌装置を安価に提供することが可能となるとともに、そのランニングコストも安価にすることもできる。さらに、故障の発生が極めて少なくなる利点もある。   As described above, in the present invention, it is possible to control the movement of floating substances such as cut vegetables floating in the aquarium with an extremely simple structure, and it is possible to provide a cut vegetable sterilizer at low cost. At the same time, the running cost can be reduced. Furthermore, there is an advantage that the occurrence of failure is extremely reduced.

以下、図に基づいて本発明の実施形態を説明する。
図１は本発明の液槽中の浮遊物の移動制御装置、詳しくは、カット野菜の殺菌装置の実施形態を示す正面図であり、図２は図１の平面図であり、図３は図１の右側面図であり、図４は配管系統図である。これらの図において、１は装置本体を支えるフレームであり、上端となる側面の一部が切除された円筒形の水槽２を支えている。図１および図２において、水槽２の左端は閉塞され、右端は上部が切除された切頭円錐形状に形成され、その狭まった先端部に排出口３が形成されている。この水槽２には、消毒用の炭酸水等が貯留される。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a movement control apparatus for floating substances in a liquid tank according to the present invention, more specifically, a cut vegetable sterilization apparatus, FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 1 is a right side view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a piping system diagram. In these drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a frame that supports the apparatus main body, and supports a cylindrical water tank 2 in which a part of a side surface serving as an upper end is cut off. 1 and 2, the left end of the water tank 2 is closed, the right end is formed in a truncated cone shape with the upper part cut off, and a discharge port 3 is formed at the narrowed tip. The water tank 2 stores carbonated water for disinfection.

排出口３の下方には、ベルトコンベア４が設置されており、排出口３から排出されたカット野菜等を斜め右上方へ搬出する。排出口３の下方であって、ベルトコンベア４の下端の周囲には、溢水槽５が設置されている。溢水槽５の下部側面には吸引配管６が接続されている。吸引配管６の他端にはポンプ７に接続されている。ポンプ７の吐出側には、水槽と平行に配置されたマニホルド８に接続されている。   Below the discharge port 3, a belt conveyor 4 is installed, and cut vegetables and the like discharged from the discharge port 3 are carried obliquely upward to the right. An overflow tank 5 is installed below the discharge port 3 and around the lower end of the belt conveyor 4. A suction pipe 6 is connected to the lower side surface of the overflow tank 5. The other end of the suction pipe 6 is connected to the pump 7. The discharge side of the pump 7 is connected to a manifold 8 arranged in parallel with the water tank.

マニホルド８からは８系統に分岐されて、それぞれ手動の開閉弁９と電磁比例弁１１を経た後、噴射ノズル１２に接続されている。噴射ノズル１２は、図３に示されるように、断面略円筒形状の水槽２の側面に接線方向斜め下向きに接続されていて、水槽２の軸方向に等間隔で配置されている。図３において、１３は水槽２の底部に接続された排水管であり、途中に排水コック１４が接続されている。   The manifold 8 is branched into 8 systems, and each is connected to an injection nozzle 12 after passing through a manual on-off valve 9 and an electromagnetic proportional valve 11. As shown in FIG. 3, the spray nozzles 12 are connected obliquely downward in the tangential direction to the side surface of the water tank 2 having a substantially cylindrical cross section, and are arranged at equal intervals in the axial direction of the water tank 2. In FIG. 3, 13 is a drain pipe connected to the bottom of the water tank 2, and a drain cock 14 is connected to the middle.

次に、このように構成された装置の動作について説明する。ここでは、カット野菜の殺菌装置として使用する場合について説明する。先ず、水槽２および溢水槽５には、消毒用の炭酸水等が所定量満たされた状態で、水槽２内にレタスやキャベツ等を所定の大きさに裁断したカット野菜が所定量投入される。次に、電源が投入されると、ポンプ７が作動する。ポンプ７は溢水槽５内の炭酸水等を吸引して加圧し、マニホルド８に送り出す。加圧された炭酸水等は、マニホルド８から８系統に分岐されて、開閉弁９ａ〜９ｈと電磁比例弁１１ａ〜１１ｈを経た後、噴射ノズル１２ａ〜１２ｈに送られて水槽２内へ噴射される。   Next, the operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be described. Here, the case where it uses as a sterilizer of cut vegetables is demonstrated. First, a predetermined amount of cut vegetables obtained by cutting lettuce, cabbage or the like into a predetermined size is put into the water tank 2 in a state where a predetermined amount of disinfecting carbonated water or the like is filled in the water tank 2 and the overflow tank 5. . Next, when the power is turned on, the pump 7 operates. The pump 7 sucks and pressurizes carbonated water or the like in the overflow tank 5 and sends it out to the manifold 8. Pressurized carbonated water or the like is branched into eight systems from the manifold 8, passes through the open / close valves 9 a to 9 h and the electromagnetic proportional valves 11 a to 11 h, and then is sent to the injection nozzles 12 a to 12 h to be injected into the water tank 2. The

ここで、噴射ノズル１２ａ〜１２ｈから噴射された炭酸水等は、図３において、水槽２内を時計回りの渦を形成する。同時に、噴射された炭酸水等により、水槽２の水位は上昇して、排出口３のレベルを超えた分は、溢水として排出口３から排出される。このときカット野菜が溢水と一緒に流失しては、所定の時間、炭酸水等に浸漬して消毒する目的から外れてしまう。そこで、本発明では、噴射ノズル１２ａ〜１２ｈの吐出圧を調整することで、カット野菜が溢水と一緒に流失しないようにした。   Here, carbonated water or the like injected from the injection nozzles 12a to 12h forms a clockwise vortex in the water tank 2 in FIG. At the same time, the water level of the aquarium 2 rises due to the injected carbonated water, and the amount exceeding the level of the discharge port 3 is discharged from the discharge port 3 as overflow. At this time, if the cut vegetables are washed away together with the overflowing water, the vegetables are removed from the purpose of being sterilized by immersing them in carbonated water for a predetermined time. Therefore, in the present invention, the cut vegetables are prevented from being washed away together with the overflow by adjusting the discharge pressure of the injection nozzles 12a to 12h.

すなわち、図４に示されるように、電磁比例弁１１ａ〜１１ｈの開度をそれぞれ調整して、カット野菜を水槽２内に滞留させる場合は、排出口３から最も遠い位置の噴射ノズル１２ａに接続されている電磁比例弁１１ａの吐出圧を最も高くし、排出口３へ近づくにつれて吐出圧を順に低くしていく。なお、図４では、図の上部が排出口３から最も遠い位置であり、図の下部が排出口３から最も近い位置である。これら電磁比例弁１１ａ〜１１ｈの開度の制御は、図示しない制御装置からの制御信号により行われる。   That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when the opening degree of each of the electromagnetic proportional valves 11 a to 11 h is adjusted and the cut vegetables are retained in the water tank 2, they are connected to the injection nozzle 12 a farthest from the discharge port 3. The discharge pressure of the electromagnetic proportional valve 11a is made highest, and the discharge pressure is lowered in order as it approaches the discharge port 3. In FIG. 4, the upper part of the drawing is the position farthest from the discharge port 3, and the lower part of the drawing is the position closest to the discharge port 3. Control of the opening degree of these electromagnetic proportional valves 11a to 11h is performed by a control signal from a control device (not shown).

その結果、排出口３に最も近い、最も弱い吐出圧の噴射ノズル１２ｈによって発生する水流に沿って流れているカット野菜は、その水流の上手に設置されている噴射ノズル１２ｇによる水流の勢いがより強いため、ベルヌーイの定理に従い、強い水流側に吸引されていく。ここで、噴射ノズル１２ｇによる水流に沿って流れ始めたカット野菜は、さらに、その水流の上手に設置されている噴射ノズル１２ｆによる水流の勢いが強いため、その強い水流側に吸引されていく。   As a result, the cut vegetables flowing along the water flow generated by the jet nozzle 12h having the weakest discharge pressure closest to the discharge port 3 have more water flow due to the jet nozzle 12g installed at the top of the water flow. Because it is strong, it follows the Bernoulli theorem and is attracted to the strong water side. Here, the cut vegetables that have started to flow along the water flow by the injection nozzle 12g are further attracted to the strong water flow side because the force of the water flow by the injection nozzle 12f installed at the top of the water flow is strong.

このようにして、カット野菜について着目すると、カット野菜は、炭酸水等の全体の流れに反して、排出口３側から上流側へ移動していくことになり、カット野菜は水槽２内に滞留する。つまり、炭酸水等は、水槽２、溢水槽５、ポンプ7、噴射ノズル１２と循環しているが、カット野菜は、その循環に逆らい水槽２内に留まる。この状態で、所定時間を経過するとカット野菜は殺菌される。殺菌が終了したら、ベルトコンベア４を作動させると同時に、電磁比例弁１１ａ〜１１ｈの開度パターンを反転して、排出口３から最も遠い位置の噴射ノズル１２ａに接続されている電磁比例弁１１ａの吐出圧を最も低くし、排出口３へ近づくにつれて吐出圧を順に高くしていく。   Thus, paying attention to the cut vegetables, the cut vegetables move from the discharge port 3 side to the upstream side against the entire flow of carbonated water and the like, and the cut vegetables stay in the aquarium 2. To do. That is, carbonated water or the like circulates in the water tank 2, the overflow tank 5, the pump 7, and the injection nozzle 12, but the cut vegetables remain in the water tank 2 against the circulation. In this state, the cut vegetables are sterilized after a predetermined time. When the sterilization is completed, the belt conveyor 4 is operated, and at the same time, the opening pattern of the electromagnetic proportional valves 11a to 11h is reversed, and the electromagnetic proportional valve 11a connected to the injection nozzle 12a farthest from the discharge port 3 is connected. The discharge pressure is made the lowest, and the discharge pressure is made higher in order as it approaches the discharge port 3.

すると、水流中のカット野菜は、強い水流側に吸引されていき、カット野菜は炭酸水等の循環の流れとともに、排出口３を通過して、ベルトコンベア４上に落下して、炭酸水等のみが溢水槽５に落下していく。ここで、ベルトコンベア４を起動させておけば、カット野菜は、順に、ベルトコンベア４により搬出される。全てのカット野菜が排出されたら、再び、排出口３から最も遠い位置の噴射ノズル１２ａに接続されている電磁比例弁１１ａの吐出圧を最も高くし、排出口３へ近づくにつれて吐出圧を順に低くして、次に消毒するカット野菜を水槽２内に投入して、次のカット野菜の殺菌処理を開始する。   Then, the cut vegetables in the water flow are sucked to the strong water flow side, and the cut vegetables pass through the discharge port 3 along with the circulation flow of carbonated water and the like, fall on the belt conveyor 4, carbonated water, etc. Only falls into the overflow tank 5. Here, if the belt conveyor 4 is started, the cut vegetables are sequentially carried out by the belt conveyor 4. When all the cut vegetables have been discharged, the discharge pressure of the electromagnetic proportional valve 11a connected to the injection nozzle 12a farthest from the discharge port 3 is increased again, and the discharge pressure is decreased in order as the discharge port 3 is approached. Then, the next cut vegetable to be sterilized is put into the water tank 2 and the next cut vegetable is sterilized.

なお、カット野菜を水槽２内に滞留させる場合は、排出口３から最も遠い位置の噴射ノズル１２ａに接続されている電磁比例弁１１ａの吐出圧を最も高くし、排出口３へ近づくにつれて吐出圧を順に低くしていくが、この状態で吐出圧の勾配を調整して、勾配を少なくしていくと、カット野菜が水流により水槽２内を循環しながら、そのカット野菜の大きさや比重に応じて、水槽２の軸方向に分別される。その結果、カット野菜の中の特に大きいカットや、または細かいカットのもの、枯れ葉等の軽いもの等を、分別された中から掬い取ることも可能となる。   When the cut vegetables are retained in the water tank 2, the discharge pressure of the electromagnetic proportional valve 11 a connected to the injection nozzle 12 a farthest from the discharge port 3 is set to the highest level, and the discharge pressure approaches the discharge port 3. In this state, the slope of the discharge pressure is adjusted, and if the slope is reduced, the cut vegetables circulate in the aquarium 2 by the water flow, depending on the size and specific gravity of the cut vegetables. Then, it is sorted in the axial direction of the water tank 2. As a result, it is also possible to scoop out particularly large cuts in cut vegetables, light cuts such as those with fine cuts, dead leaves, etc. from the sorted ones.

次に、噴射ノズル１２ａ〜１２ｈの吐出圧の制御の別な実施形態について説明する。図５は、その制御の別な実施形態を示す配管系統図である。図における溢水槽５、吸引配管６、ポンプ７までと、噴射ノズル１２ａ〜１２ｈについては、図４と共通である。異なるところは、ポンプ７の吐出を２系統に分岐して、それぞれオン・オフ制御の電磁弁１５，１６を介して、マニホルド１７，１８に接続し、マニホルド１７，１８からそれぞれ手動の開閉弁１９ａ〜１９ｈ，２０ａ〜２０ｈを介して、噴射ノズル１２ａ〜１２ｈに接続したものである。   Next, another embodiment of the control of the discharge pressure of the injection nozzles 12a to 12h will be described. FIG. 5 is a piping diagram showing another embodiment of the control. The overflow tank 5, the suction pipe 6, the pump 7 and the injection nozzles 12 a to 12 h in the drawing are the same as those in FIG. 4. The difference is that the discharge of the pump 7 is branched into two systems and connected to the manifolds 17 and 18 via the electromagnetic valves 15 and 16 of on / off control, respectively, and the manual open / close valves 19a are respectively connected from the manifolds 17 and 18. Are connected to the injection nozzles 12a to 12h via -19h and 20a to 20h.

この場合は、ポンプ７の吐出が２系統に分離され、その一方の電磁弁１５、マニホルド１７側を、カット野菜を滞留させる場合に使用するものとして、手動の開閉弁１９ａ〜１９ｈの開度を調整し、図示されるような圧力分布とする。また、他方の電磁弁１６、マニホルド１８側は、カット野菜を排出させる場合に使用するものとして、手動の開閉弁２０ａ〜２０ｈの開度を調整し、図示されるような圧力分布とする。この実施形態では、最初に、手動により開閉弁１９ａ〜１９ｈおよび開閉弁２０ａ〜２０ｈの開度を調整しておけば、電磁弁１５，１６のオン・オフを相互に切り換えだけで、滞留と排出を切り換えることが可能となり、電磁比例弁を使用しない構成であるため、その分安価となる。なお、電磁弁１５，１６は１個の三方弁に置き換えることも可能である。   In this case, the discharge of the pump 7 is separated into two systems, and one of the solenoid valves 15 and the manifold 17 side is used when the cut vegetables are retained. Adjust the pressure distribution as shown. Moreover, the other solenoid valve 16 and the manifold 18 side are used when discharging cut vegetables, and adjust the opening degree of the manual on-off valves 20a to 20h to obtain a pressure distribution as shown. In this embodiment, first, if the opening degree of the on-off valves 19a to 19h and the on-off valves 20a to 20h is manually adjusted, the stagnation and discharge can be performed only by switching the electromagnetic valves 15 and 16 on and off. Since the electromagnetic proportional valve is not used, the cost is reduced accordingly. The solenoid valves 15 and 16 can be replaced with one three-way valve.

なお、上述した実施形態では、カット野菜の殺菌装置について説明したが、その他の用途として、果物、芋類の洗浄および濯ぎ装置、工業製品の薬液浸漬処理装置、比重差による分別処理装置、その他使用液を噴射ノズルから噴射しても可能なもの全てにおける液槽中の浮遊物の移動制御装置に利用可能である。浮遊物は、その比重が液の比重に近い場合に制御が容易であるが、多少比重が違う場合でも、ジェット水流で強い勢いで押し流すため制御が可能である。   In the above-described embodiment, the cut vegetable sterilization apparatus has been described. However, as other uses, the fruit and moss washing and rinsing apparatus, the chemical solution immersion treatment apparatus for industrial products, the separation treatment apparatus based on the difference in specific gravity, and other uses. The present invention can be used for a movement control device for floating substances in a liquid tank in all that are possible even when liquid is ejected from an ejection nozzle. The suspended solids are easy to control when the specific gravity is close to the specific gravity of the liquid, but even if the specific gravity is slightly different, control is possible because it is swept away by the jet water flow with a strong momentum.

本発明は、カット野菜の殺菌装置以外に、その他の用途として、芋類の洗浄および濯ぎ装置、工業製品の薬液浸漬処理装置、比重差による分別処理装置、その他使用液を噴射ノズルから噴射しても可能なもの全てにおける液槽中の浮遊物の移動制御装置に利用可能である。   In addition to the cut vegetable sterilizer, the present invention is used for other purposes such as washing and rinsing equipment for moss, chemical solution immersion treatment equipment for industrial products, fractionation treatment equipment by difference in specific gravity, and other use liquids from the injection nozzle. It can also be used for the movement control device of the suspended matter in the liquid tank in all possible ones.
