JP 2005-31348 A

しかしながら、前記特許文献1に記載の発明では、含浸用気体発生装置は、貯留タンク内の液体をヒータで加熱し蒸発させて、含浸用気体を常時発生させる構成である。ところが、香り成分は、多数の成分からなっており、沸点が同一の共沸のものと、沸点が異なることで各成分が順次に蒸発する非共沸のものとが混在している。そのため、単に液体を加熱したのでは、気化が進むにつれて、含浸用気体の香り成分が変化してしまう課題があった。   However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, the impregnation gas generator is configured to constantly generate the impregnation gas by heating and evaporating the liquid in the storage tank with a heater. However, the scent component is composed of a large number of components, and an azeotropic component having the same boiling point and a non-azeotropic component in which each component sequentially evaporates due to different boiling points are mixed. Therefore, simply heating the liquid has a problem that the scent component of the impregnating gas changes as the vaporization proceeds.

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、目的とした香りを変化させることなく、安定した所望の香り付けが可能な香り付け装置を提供することにある。   The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a scenting device capable of stable and desired scenting without changing the intended scent.

本発明は、前記課題を解決するためになされたもので、請求項1に記載の発明は、食材が収容される処理槽と、前記食材へ含浸させる香り成分を含んだ液体を加熱し、この液体を全量蒸発させて気体として貯留し、この気体を前記処理槽内へ供給する香り発生器とを備えることを特徴とする香り付け装置である。   The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the invention according to claim 1 heats a liquid containing a treatment tank in which food is stored and a scent component impregnated in the food, A scenting device comprising: a scent generator for evaporating a total amount of liquid, storing the gas as a gas, and supplying the gas into the treatment tank.

請求項1に記載の発明によれば、香り成分を含んだ液体を加熱して全量蒸発させ、その全量蒸発後の気体を処理槽内へ供給する。従って、非共沸の香り成分の混合体であっても、香りを変化させることなく、所望の香り付けを安定して行うことができる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the liquid containing the scent component is heated to evaporate the entire amount, and the gas after the entire amount is evaporated is supplied into the treatment tank. Therefore, even if it is a mixture of non-azeotropic scent components, desired scenting can be performed stably without changing the scent.

請求項2に記載の発明は、前記処理槽内を減圧する減圧手段をさらに備え、減圧された前記処理槽内の復圧時に、前記香り発生器内の前記気体を前記処理槽内へ供給することを特徴とする請求項1に記載の香り付け装置である。   The invention according to claim 2 further includes a decompression means for decompressing the inside of the processing tank, and supplies the gas in the scent generator into the processing tank when the decompressed pressure in the processing tank is restored. The scenting device according to claim 1, wherein:

請求項2に記載の発明によれば、処理槽内を減圧後、その復圧時に、香り発生器からの気体を送り込むことで、食材への香り付けを一層確実に行うことができる。   According to the second aspect of the present invention, after the pressure in the processing tank is reduced, the gas from the scent generator is sent in when the pressure is restored, so that the fragrance of the food can be more reliably performed.

請求項3に記載の発明は、前記香り発生器は、中空容器を備え、この容器内の空気が真空引き手段により外部へ吸引排出された後、前記容器内へ供給される前記液体を全量蒸発させて気体として貯留することを特徴とする請求項1または請求項2に記載の香り付け装置である。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, the scent generator includes a hollow container, and after the air in the container is sucked and discharged to the outside by the vacuuming means, the liquid supplied into the container is evaporated in its entirety. The scenting device according to claim 1, wherein the scenting device is stored as a gas.

請求項3に記載の発明によれば、予め空気排除した中空容器内で液体を蒸発させ、香り気体として貯留するので、前記容器の容量を小さくすることができる。   According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the liquid is evaporated in a hollow container that has been previously excluded from air and stored as a scented gas, the capacity of the container can be reduced.

さらに、請求項4に記載の発明は、前記真空引き手段として、前記減圧手段が用いられることを特徴とする請求項3に記載の香り付け装置である。   Furthermore, the invention according to claim 4 is the scenting device according to claim 3, wherein the decompression means is used as the evacuation means.

請求項4に記載の発明によれば、処理槽の減圧手段と、香り発生器の真空引き手段とを共通化することで、装置の簡素化を図ることができる。   According to the invention described in claim 4, the apparatus can be simplified by sharing the decompression means of the processing tank and the vacuum suction means of the scent generator.

本発明の香り付け装置によれば、目的とした香りを変化させることなく、安定した所望の香り付けが可能である。   According to the scenting device of the present invention, stable desired scenting is possible without changing the intended scent.

つぎに、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。
本実施形態の香り付け装置は、食材(食品を含む)が収容される処理槽と、この処理槽内へ供給する香りを発生させる香り発生器とを備える。
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The scenting device of this embodiment includes a processing tank in which food (including food) is accommodated and a scent generator that generates a scent to be supplied into the processing tank.

前記処理槽は、食材を収容可能な中空構造に形成され、典型的には略矩形のボックス状に形成された金属製の缶体である。この処理槽は、一側面へ開口して中空部を有する処理槽本体と、この処理槽本体の開口部を開閉する扉とから構成される。但し、処理槽の構成はこれに限らず、たとえば、上方へ開口する有底円筒状の処理槽本体と、この上部開口部を開閉可能に閉じる扉とから構成してもよい。   The said processing tank is a metal can body formed in the hollow structure which can accommodate a foodstuff, and was typically formed in the substantially rectangular box shape. This processing tank is comprised from the processing tank main body which opens to one side and has a hollow part, and the door which opens and closes the opening part of this processing tank main body. However, the configuration of the treatment tank is not limited to this, and may be constituted by, for example, a bottomed cylindrical treatment tank main body that opens upward and a door that closes the upper opening so as to be opened and closed.

このような処理槽には、処理槽内の気体を外部へ吸引排出して処理槽内を減圧する減圧手段と、減圧された処理槽内へ外気を導入して処理槽内を復圧する復圧手段と、処理槽内の圧力を検出する圧力センサとを設けるのが好ましい。但し、処理槽内の圧力と温度とは所定の関係にあるから、圧力センサに代えて、処理槽内の温度を検出する温度センサを用いてもよい。その他、処理槽には、処理槽内に収容される食材の温度を検出する品温センサを設置してもよい。   In such a treatment tank, a decompression means that sucks and discharges the gas in the treatment tank and decompresses the inside of the treatment tank, and a return pressure that introduces outside air into the decompressed treatment tank and decompresses the inside of the treatment tank. It is preferable to provide means and a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure in the treatment tank. However, since the pressure and temperature in the processing tank have a predetermined relationship, a temperature sensor that detects the temperature in the processing tank may be used instead of the pressure sensor. In addition, you may install the product temperature sensor which detects the temperature of the foodstuff accommodated in a processing tank in a processing tank.

前記減圧手段は、処理槽内の気体を外部へ吸引排出して、処理槽内を減圧する手段である。この減圧手段は、真空ポンプ、蒸気エゼクタまたは水エゼクタなどを備える。これらは、いずれか単独で用いてもよいし、複数個または複数種のものを組み合わせてもよい。このような減圧手段を作動させることで、処理槽内の気体は排気管を介して外部へ吸引排出され、処理槽内の減圧が図られる。処理槽内の減圧の有無は、減圧手段の作動の有無を切り替えることでなされる。あるいは、排気管の中途に排気弁を設け、その開閉を操作してもよい。   The decompression means is means for sucking and discharging the gas in the treatment tank to the outside and decompressing the inside of the treatment tank. The decompression means includes a vacuum pump, a steam ejector, a water ejector, or the like. Any of these may be used alone, or a plurality of them may be used in combination. By operating such a pressure reducing means, the gas in the processing tank is sucked and discharged outside through the exhaust pipe, and the pressure in the processing tank is reduced. The presence or absence of decompression in the treatment tank is made by switching the presence or absence of the operation of the decompression means. Alternatively, an exhaust valve may be provided in the middle of the exhaust pipe and the opening / closing thereof may be operated.

減圧手段として蒸気エゼクタを用いる場合、排気管には蒸気エゼクタより下流側に、凝縮器としての熱交換器が通常備えられる。また、減圧手段として真空ポンプを用いる場合、排気管には真空ポンプより上流側に、凝縮器としての熱交換器を備えるのが望ましい。ここで、熱交換器は、排気管内の蒸気を冷却し凝縮させる凝縮器であり、処理槽内を減圧することで食材から生じる蒸気や、蒸気エゼクタのノズルからの蒸気を、冷却し凝縮させる。この冷却および凝縮作用をなすために、熱交換器には冷却用水が供給され、排気管の冷却が図られる。熱交換器の下流側に真空ポンプが配置される場合、排気管内の蒸気を予め熱交換器で凝縮させておくことで、その後の真空ポンプの負荷を軽減して、減圧能力を高めることができる。   When a steam ejector is used as the decompression means, the exhaust pipe is usually provided with a heat exchanger as a condenser downstream of the steam ejector. When a vacuum pump is used as the decompression means, it is desirable that the exhaust pipe is provided with a heat exchanger as a condenser upstream of the vacuum pump. Here, the heat exchanger is a condenser that cools and condenses the steam in the exhaust pipe, and cools and condenses the steam generated from the food by reducing the pressure in the processing tank and the steam from the nozzle of the steam ejector. In order to perform this cooling and condensation action, cooling water is supplied to the heat exchanger, and the exhaust pipe is cooled. When a vacuum pump is arranged downstream of the heat exchanger, the vapor in the exhaust pipe is condensed in advance with the heat exchanger, so that the load on the subsequent vacuum pump can be reduced and the decompression capacity can be increased. .

このような構成の減圧手段を作動させることで、処理槽内の気体は排気管を介して外部へ吸引排出され、処理槽内の減圧が図られる。処理槽内の減圧の有無は、減圧手段の作動の有無を切り替えることでなされる。具体的には、たとえば、蒸気エゼクタは、そのノズルへの蒸気供給の有無を切り替え、熱交換器は、その冷却用水の供給の有無を切り替え、真空ポンプはその作動の有無を切り替えればよい。   By operating the pressure reducing means having such a configuration, the gas in the processing tank is sucked and discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe, and the pressure in the processing tank is reduced. The presence or absence of decompression in the treatment tank is made by switching the presence or absence of the operation of the decompression means. Specifically, for example, the steam ejector switches whether or not steam is supplied to the nozzle, the heat exchanger switches whether or not the cooling water is supplied, and the vacuum pump switches whether or not the operation is performed.

前記復圧手段は、減圧手段により減圧された処理槽内へ外気を導入して、処理槽内を復圧する手段である。処理槽内への外気の導入は、衛生面を考慮して、フィルターを介して行うのが望ましい。フィルターを介した清浄空気は、給気管を介して処理槽内へ供給される。給気管の中途に設けた給気弁を開閉することで、処理槽内への外気導入の有無が切り替えられる。   The return pressure means is a means for introducing outside air into the treatment tank decompressed by the decompression means and restoring the pressure in the treatment tank. It is desirable to introduce outside air into the treatment tank through a filter in consideration of hygiene. The clean air that has passed through the filter is supplied into the treatment tank via the air supply pipe. By opening and closing an air supply valve provided in the middle of the air supply pipe, the presence or absence of outside air introduction into the processing tank can be switched.

前記香り発生器は、食材へ含浸させるための香り成分を含んだ液体(香り液体という)を、全量蒸発させて気体(香り気体という)として貯留し、この香り気体を処理槽内へ供給する手段である。香り気体の処理槽内への供給は、大気圧下で送風によって行ってもよいが、処理槽内を一旦減圧後その復圧時に処理槽内へ供給するのがよい。   The scent generator is a means for evaporating the entire amount of liquid containing a scent component for impregnating the food (referred to as scented liquid) and storing it as a gas (referred to as scented gas), and supplying this scented gas into the treatment tank It is. The supply of the scent gas into the treatment tank may be performed by blowing air under atmospheric pressure, but it is preferable to supply the fragrance gas into the treatment tank when the pressure inside the treatment tank is reduced and then restored.

本実施形態の香り発生器は、中空容器からなる本体容器を備え、この本体容器内で香り液体を蒸発させて香り気体とし、この香り気体を処理槽内へ供給する。この際、上述したように、復圧用空気と共に香り気体を処理槽内へ供給することで、その供給速度を上げることができ、食材への香り付けを円滑で確実に行うことができる。   The scent generator of the present embodiment includes a main body container made of a hollow container, evaporates the scent liquid in the main body container to form a scent gas, and supplies the scent gas into the treatment tank. At this time, as described above, the supply speed can be increased by supplying the scent gas together with the return pressure air into the treatment tank, and the scenting of the food can be performed smoothly and reliably.

処理槽内の復圧時に、本体容器から処理槽内へ香り気体を導入するために、復圧手段の給気管の中途には、本体容器からの香り導入管が接続される。香り導入管の中途に設けた香り導入弁を開閉することで、香り発生器から処理槽内への香り気体の導入の有無が切り替えられる。すなわち、香り導入弁が開かれた際には、処理槽内と本体容器内との差圧により、本体容器内の香り気体が処理槽内へ導入される。   In order to introduce the scent gas from the main body container into the processing tank at the time of return pressure in the processing tank, a scent introduction pipe from the main body container is connected to the middle of the air supply pipe of the return pressure means. By opening and closing the scent introduction valve provided in the middle of the scent introduction pipe, the presence or absence of introduction of the scent gas from the scent generator into the treatment tank can be switched. That is, when the scent introduction valve is opened, the scent gas in the main body container is introduced into the processing tank by the differential pressure between the inside of the processing tank and the main body container.

但し、香り導入管は、給気管ではなく、処理槽へ直接に接続してもよい。また、復圧手段による外気は、香り発生器の本体容器内へ一旦供給後、その本体容器内の香り気体と共に処理槽内へ供給してもよい。その場合、本体容器から処理槽への管路は、香り導入管と給気管との双方を兼ねる。また、香り発生器の本体容器内の香り気体のみで、処理槽内の復圧を図るようにしてもよい。いずれにしても、香り発生器の本体容器からの香り気体は、処理槽内へ導入可能とされる。   However, the scent introduction pipe may be directly connected to the treatment tank instead of the supply pipe. Further, the outside air by the return pressure means may be once supplied into the main body container of the scent generator and then supplied into the treatment tank together with the scent gas in the main body container. In that case, the conduit from the main body container to the treatment tank doubles as both the scent introduction pipe and the air supply pipe. Moreover, you may make it aim at the return pressure in a processing tank only with the fragrance gas in the main body container of a fragrance generator. In any case, the scent gas from the main body container of the scent generator can be introduced into the treatment tank.

ところで、香り液体は、通常、多種微量の香り成分(香料成分)が、エタノールや水などの溶媒に溶かし込まれてなる。この香り液体に含まれる各種香り成分は、その沸点が同じ共沸のものと、沸点が異なる非共沸のものとが混在しているが、前記本体容器内の香り液体は溶媒も含めて一旦、全量蒸発してから処理槽内へ供給されるので、香り気体の成分ひいては香りを常に安定させることができる。   By the way, the scented liquid is usually made by dissolving a variety of trace amounts of scented components (fragrance components) in a solvent such as ethanol or water. Various scent components contained in the scent liquid are azeotropic with the same boiling point and non-azeotropic ones with different boiling points, but the scent liquid in the main body container once contains the solvent. Since the whole amount is evaporated and then supplied into the treatment tank, the component of the scent gas, and thus the scent can be always stabilized.

香り発生器は、その本体容器内の空気を外部へ吸引排出する真空引き手段を備えるのが好ましい。この場合、この真空引き手段を用いて、予め本体容器内の空気を外部へ吸引排出してから、本体容器内の香り液体を蒸発させることができる。従って、真空引きせずに香り液体を蒸発させる場合と比較して、香り液体を蒸発させる際の本体容器内の圧力上昇を抑制でき、また本体容器の容量を小さく構成できる。しかも、空気を取り除いておくことで、香り気体の香りをさらに安定させることもできる。この真空引き手段は、前記減圧手段と同様の構成であり、典型的には真空ポンプを備える。   The scent generator is preferably provided with a vacuuming means for sucking and discharging the air in the main body container to the outside. In this case, the scent liquid in the main body container can be evaporated after the air in the main body container is previously sucked and discharged to the outside by using this evacuation means. Therefore, compared with the case where the scent liquid is evaporated without evacuation, the pressure increase in the main body container when the scent liquid is evaporated can be suppressed, and the capacity of the main body container can be reduced. Moreover, the scent of the scented gas can be further stabilized by removing the air. The evacuation means has the same configuration as the decompression means, and typically includes a vacuum pump.

この真空引き手段は、前記減圧手段と共用することができる。具体的には、処理槽と減圧手段とを接続する前記排気管の中途と、香り発生器の本体容器との間を、開閉弁を備えるバイパス管で接続すればよい。あるいは、そのようなバイパス管を備えることなく、排気管を介して処理槽と減圧手段とが接続されると共に、給気管および香り導入管を介して処理槽と香り発生器とが接続される構成であっても、次のようにして減圧手段を本体容器内の空気の真空引き手段として用いることができる。すなわち、この場合、処理槽内を減圧する際に、給気弁は閉じた状態で香り導入弁は開いて、本体容器内の減圧も図った後、香り導入弁を閉じて、減圧下の本体容器内で香り液体を蒸発させればよい。   This evacuation means can be shared with the decompression means. Specifically, the middle of the exhaust pipe connecting the treatment tank and the decompression means and the main body container of the scent generator may be connected by a bypass pipe having an on-off valve. Alternatively, without providing such a bypass pipe, the treatment tank and the pressure reducing means are connected via the exhaust pipe, and the treatment tank and the scent generator are connected via the air supply pipe and the scent introduction pipe. Even so, the decompression means can be used as a means for evacuating the air in the main body container as follows. That is, in this case, when the inside of the treatment tank is depressurized, the scent introduction valve is opened with the air supply valve being closed, and after reducing the pressure in the main body container, the scent introduction valve is closed and the main body under reduced pressure. What is necessary is just to evaporate a fragrant liquid within a container.

香り発生器は、香り液体の全量蒸発を円滑かつ確実になすために、香り液体を加熱するための加熱手段をさらに備える。この加熱手段の構成は、特に問わないが、たとえば本体容器の外壁をジャケット構造(二重構造)として、その中空部へ蒸気を供給して本体容器を加熱することで、香り液体を加熱する構成とできる。あるいは、処理槽の内部または外部にヒータを設けて、本体容器を加熱することで、香り液体を加熱する構成とできる。また、このヒータに代えて、蒸気もしくは熱水が通されるコイル状配管を設けてもよい。   The scent generator further includes a heating means for heating the scent liquid in order to smoothly and surely evaporate the entire amount of the scent liquid. The configuration of the heating means is not particularly limited. For example, the outer wall of the main body container has a jacket structure (double structure), and the scent liquid is heated by supplying steam to the hollow portion and heating the main body container. And can. Or it can be set as the structure which heats a fragrance liquid by providing a heater in the inside or outside of a processing tank, and heating a main body container. Further, instead of this heater, a coiled pipe through which steam or hot water is passed may be provided.

ところで、前記排気弁、前記給気弁、および前記香り導入弁は、それぞれ開度調整可能に構成するのが好ましい。この場合、前記減圧手段による処理槽内の減圧、前記復圧手段による処理槽内の復圧、前記香り発生器から処理槽内への香り気体の導入について、それぞれその能力が調整可能となる。また、減圧手段を一定能力で作動させた状態で、排気弁および/または給気弁などの開度を調整して、処理槽内の圧力ひいては温度の調整が容易となる。但し、これに代えてまたはこれに加えて、処理槽内の減圧時に、エゼクタなどの減圧手段自体の減圧能力や作動の有無を制御して、処理槽内の圧力ひいては温度の調整を行うこともできる。   By the way, it is preferable that the exhaust valve, the air supply valve, and the scent introduction valve are each configured to be adjustable in opening. In this case, the capacity can be adjusted for the decompression in the treatment tank by the decompression means, the return pressure in the treatment tank by the decompression means, and the introduction of the scent gas from the scent generator into the treatment tank. Further, the opening of the exhaust valve and / or the air supply valve and the like are adjusted in a state where the decompression means is operated with a constant capacity, so that the pressure in the processing tank and thus the temperature can be easily adjusted. However, instead of this, or in addition to this, when the pressure in the processing tank is reduced, the pressure reducing means such as the ejector itself or the presence or absence of operation can be controlled to adjust the pressure in the processing tank and thus the temperature. it can.

香り付け装置は、前記圧力センサの検出圧力などに基づき前記各手段を制御する制御手段をさらに備える。この制御手段は、前記減圧手段および前記復圧手段などを制御する制御器である。逆にいうと、これら各手段は、制御手段により制御され、予め設定されたプログラムに従い、所定の運転工程が順次になされる。その際、処理槽内の圧力を検出する圧力センサからの検出圧力や、経過時間を利用して制御される。また、処理槽内の食材の温度を検出する品温センサを設ける場合には、その品温センサからの検出温度も用いて制御される。   The scenting device further includes control means for controlling each means based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor. This control means is a controller that controls the decompression means, the decompression means, and the like. In other words, each of these means is controlled by the control means, and predetermined operation steps are sequentially performed according to a preset program. In that case, it controls using the detected pressure from the pressure sensor which detects the pressure in a processing tank, and elapsed time. Moreover, when providing the product temperature sensor which detects the temperature of the foodstuff in a processing tank, it controls using the detection temperature from the product temperature sensor.

次に、本実施形態の香り付け装置を用いた香り付け方法の典型例について説明する。まず、処理槽内に食材を収容し、処理槽内を密閉した状態で、減圧手段により処理槽内を所望圧力まで減圧する。この際、処理槽に設けた圧力センサの検出圧力を監視しながら、減圧手段を制御して処理槽内を減圧すればよい。温かい食材を処理槽内に収容して減圧する場合、減圧レベルや減圧後の保持時間を調整して、その食材の真空冷却を図ることができる。この際、前記品温センサの検出温度により、食材の温度が目標温度になったか否かの確認が可能である。   Next, a typical example of the scenting method using the scenting device of the present embodiment will be described. First, the food is stored in the treatment tank, and the inside of the treatment tank is decompressed to a desired pressure by the decompression means while the inside of the treatment tank is sealed. At this time, the pressure in the processing tank may be reduced by controlling the pressure reducing means while monitoring the pressure detected by the pressure sensor provided in the processing tank. When warm food is stored in the treatment tank and decompressed, the vacuum cooling of the food can be achieved by adjusting the decompression level and the holding time after decompression. At this time, it is possible to confirm whether or not the temperature of the food has reached the target temperature based on the temperature detected by the product temperature sensor.

このようにして処理槽内を減圧し、所望により食材の真空冷却を図った後、処理槽内は復圧手段により大気圧まで復圧される。すなわち、減圧手段の作動を停止した状態で、給気弁を開いて処理槽内へ外気を導入する。この際、香り導入弁を開くことで、香り発生器からの香り気体を処理槽内へ導入して、処理槽内の食材へ香り付けを行うことができる。   In this way, after the inside of the processing tank is depressurized and the food is vacuum-cooled as desired, the inside of the processing tank is decompressed to atmospheric pressure by the decompression means. That is, with the operation of the decompression means stopped, the air supply valve is opened to introduce outside air into the treatment tank. At this time, by opening the scent introduction valve, the scent gas from the scent generator can be introduced into the processing tank, and the food in the processing tank can be scented.

処理槽内への香り気体の導入前には、香り発生器の本体容器内では、予め香り液体が全量蒸発されて香り気体として貯留されている。この際、好ましくは、本体容器内は、所望の圧力ひいては温度とされて、香り液体が蒸発され香り気体として貯留される。そして、処理槽内へ供給する気体として、香り発生器からの香り気体が含まれていれば、香り気体と外気との混合割合は特に問わない。さらに、復圧手段による処理槽内の復圧時、処理槽内へどのタイミングでどれだけの量の香り気体を導入するかは適宜に設定される。   Prior to the introduction of the scent gas into the treatment tank, the entire amount of the scent liquid is previously evaporated and stored as the scent gas in the main body container of the scent generator. At this time, preferably, the inside of the main body container is set to a desired pressure and thus to a temperature, and the scent liquid is evaporated and stored as a scent gas. And if the fragrance gas from a fragrance generator is contained as gas supplied in a processing tank, the mixing ratio of fragrance gas and external air will not be ask | required in particular. Furthermore, at the time of how much scent gas is introduced into the processing tank at the time of return pressure in the processing tank by the return pressure means, it is appropriately set.

ところで、香り発生器は、分解しないで洗浄可能に構成できる。この場合、薬液(洗剤)を流したり、スポンジボールを流したりして、本体容器内を洗浄すればよい。そのために、前記薬液の流入管路や流出管路を、本体容器に専用に設けておいてもよい。また、本体容器に加えて、香り導入管や給気管内も、同様に洗浄してもよい。但し、香り発生器を分解洗浄できる構造として対応してもよいのは勿論である。   By the way, the scent generator can be configured to be washable without being disassembled. In this case, the inside of the main body container may be washed by flowing a chemical solution (detergent) or a sponge ball. For this purpose, an inflow conduit and an outflow conduit for the chemical solution may be provided exclusively for the main body container. Further, in addition to the main body container, the inside of the scent introduction pipe and the air supply pipe may be washed in the same manner. However, as a matter of course, the scent generator may be handled as a structure that can be disassembled and washed.

The pressure in the processing tank 2 is detected by the pressure sensor 6. Moreover, you may further provide a product temperature sensor (not shown) so that the temperature of the foodstuff 1 accommodated in the processing tank 2 can be detected.

処理槽2には、香り気体を発生させて貯留する香り発生器4が接続される。この香り発生器4は、処理槽2内の食材1へ含浸させるための香り成分を含んだ香り液体を、溶媒も含めて全量蒸発させて香り気体として貯留し、この香り気体を所望時に処理槽2内へ供給する。具体的には、香り発生器4は、中空容器からなる本体容器13を備え、この本体容器13内で、香り液体を香り気体にして貯留し、その香り気体を所望時に処理槽2内へ供給する。   A scent generator 4 that generates and stores scented gas is connected to the processing tank 2. The scent generator 4 evaporates the scent liquid containing the scent component for impregnating the food 1 in the processing tank 2, including the solvent, and stores the scent gas as a scent gas. 2 is supplied. Specifically, the scent generator 4 includes a main body container 13 formed of a hollow container, and stores the scent liquid as scent gas in the main body container 13 and supplies the scent gas into the processing tank 2 when desired. To do.

本体容器13内に貯留された香り気体は、香り導入管14を介して処理槽2内へ供給される。この香り導入管14の中途には、香り導入弁15が開閉可能に設けられる。この香り導入弁15に代えてまたはそれに加えて、香り導入管14には、香り気体を強制的に処理槽2内へ送り込むためのポンプやファン(不図示)などを設けてもよい。   The scent gas stored in the main body container 13 is supplied into the processing tank 2 through the scent introduction tube 14. A scent introduction valve 15 is provided in the middle of the scent introduction pipe 14 so as to be opened and closed. Instead of or in addition to the scent introduction valve 15, the scent introduction pipe 14 may be provided with a pump or a fan (not shown) for forcibly sending the scent gas into the treatment tank 2.

本体容器13内へは、香り液体が貯留された液タンク16から、適宜、香り液体を供給可能である。この際、液タンク16内の香り液体は、液供給管17を介して、本体容器13内へ供給される。液供給管17には、液タンク16の側から順に、液供給ポンプ18と液供給弁19とが設けられる。従って、液供給弁19を開いた状態で、液供給ポンプ18を作動させることで、液タンク16内の香り液体を本体容器13内へ供給することができる。液供給ポンプ18の作動を制御することで、本体容器13内への香り液体の供給量を調整することができる。   The main body container 13 can be appropriately supplied with the scent liquid from the liquid tank 16 in which the scent liquid is stored. At this time, the scented liquid in the liquid tank 16 is supplied into the main body container 13 via the liquid supply pipe 17. The liquid supply pipe 17 is provided with a liquid supply pump 18 and a liquid supply valve 19 in order from the liquid tank 16 side. Therefore, the scent liquid in the liquid tank 16 can be supplied into the main body container 13 by operating the liquid supply pump 18 with the liquid supply valve 19 opened. By controlling the operation of the liquid supply pump 18, the supply amount of the scent liquid into the main body container 13 can be adjusted.

本体容器13内へ香り液体を供給し蒸発させるに際しては、予め本体容器13内の空気を排除しておくのが好ましい。そのために、本実施例の香り発生器4には、本体容器13内の空気の真空引き手段20が備えられる。この真空引き手段20は、前記減圧手段3の場合と同様に、典型的には真空ポンプを備えた第二真空ユニット21を有する。   When supplying the scented liquid into the main body container 13 and evaporating it, it is preferable to exclude the air in the main body container 13 in advance. For this purpose, the scent generator 4 of the present embodiment is provided with a vacuum evacuation means 20 for air in the main body container 13. The evacuation means 20 typically has a second vacuum unit 21 equipped with a vacuum pump, as in the case of the decompression means 3.

この第二真空ユニット21は、真空引き管22を介して、本体容器13に接続される。その際、真空引き管22は、本体容器13に直結してもよいが、図示例のように香り導入管14の中途で、本体容器13と香り導入弁15との間に接続してもよい。真空引き手段20による本体容器13内の減圧は、第二真空ユニット21の作動や、真空引き管22に設けた真空弁(不図示)の開閉を制御することでなされる。   The second vacuum unit 21 is connected to the main body container 13 via a vacuum pulling tube 22. At this time, the vacuum pulling tube 22 may be directly connected to the main body container 13, but may be connected between the main body container 13 and the scent introduction valve 15 in the middle of the scent introduction pipe 14 as shown in the illustrated example. . The decompression of the main body container 13 by the evacuation means 20 is performed by controlling the operation of the second vacuum unit 21 and the opening / closing of a vacuum valve (not shown) provided in the evacuation tube 22.

さらに、本実施例の香り発生器4は、本体容器13内に供給された香り液体の蒸発を促すために、加熱手段23を備える。この加熱手段23は、電熱ヒータなどでもよいが、本実施例では本体容器13をジャケット構造として、蒸気の熱により香り液体を加熱する構成である。すなわち、本実施例の本体容器13は、壁体が二重構造とされることで、中空部24が形成されている。そして、その中空部24へは、ボイラ(不図示)からの蒸気が給蒸管25を介して供給され、その凝縮水はスチームトラップ26を介して外部へ排出される。前記中空部24への蒸気供給量を調整することで、本体容器13内の温度の調整が可能である。   Furthermore, the scent generator 4 of the present embodiment includes a heating means 23 in order to promote evaporation of the scent liquid supplied into the main body container 13. The heating means 23 may be an electric heater or the like, but in the present embodiment, the main body container 13 is a jacket structure and the scent liquid is heated by the heat of steam. That is, in the main body container 13 of this embodiment, the hollow portion 24 is formed by the wall body having a double structure. And the steam from a boiler (not shown) is supplied to the hollow part 24 via the steam supply pipe 25, and the condensed water is discharged | emitted outside via the steam trap 26. FIG. The temperature in the main body container 13 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of steam supplied to the hollow portion 24.

本実施例では、香り発生器4の本体容器13に、復圧手段5が接続される。本実施例の復圧手段5は、本体容器13に接続された給気管27が、除菌フィルター28を介して外気と連通可能に設けられて構成される。この給気管27の中途には、給気弁29が開閉可能に設けられている。このような構成であるから、香り導入弁15および給気弁29の開放により、香り発生器4の本体容器13を介して処理槽2内へ気体が供給され、処理槽2内を大気圧まで復圧することができる。その際、復圧用空気と共に、香り発生器4からの香り気体も処理槽2内へ供給される。本実施例の香り導入管14は、復圧手段5による外気も通されるので、給気管27としても機能する。   In this embodiment, the return pressure means 5 is connected to the main body container 13 of the scent generator 4. The return pressure means 5 of the present embodiment is configured such that an air supply pipe 27 connected to the main body container 13 is provided so as to be able to communicate with outside air via a sterilization filter 28. An air supply valve 29 is provided in the middle of the air supply pipe 27 so as to be openable and closable. Since it is such a structure, by opening | releasing the scent introduction | transduction valve 15 and the air supply valve 29, gas is supplied in the process tank 2 via the main body container 13 of the scent generator 4, and the inside of the process tank 2 is returned to atmospheric pressure. The pressure can be restored. At that time, the scent gas from the scent generator 4 is also supplied into the treatment tank 2 together with the return pressure air. The scent introduction tube 14 of this embodiment also functions as the air supply tube 27 because the outside air from the return pressure means 5 is also passed.

前記減圧手段3、香り発生器4、および復圧手段5は、制御手段7により制御される。この制御手段7は、それが把握する経過時間や前記圧力センサ6からの検出信号などに基づいて、前記各構成3〜5を制御する制御器30である。具体的には、排気弁(不図示)、第一真空ユニット11、第二真空ユニット21、液供給ポンプ18、液供給弁19、香り導入弁15、給気弁29、圧力センサ6などは、制御器30に接続される。そして、制御器30は、所定の手順(プログラム)に従い、処理槽2内に収容した食材1への香味付けを図る。   The decompression means 3, the scent generator 4, and the decompression means 5 are controlled by a control means 7. The control means 7 is a controller 30 that controls each of the components 3 to 5 based on the elapsed time grasped by the control means 7 and a detection signal from the pressure sensor 6. Specifically, the exhaust valve (not shown), the first vacuum unit 11, the second vacuum unit 21, the liquid supply pump 18, the liquid supply valve 19, the scent introduction valve 15, the air supply valve 29, the pressure sensor 6, etc. Connected to the controller 30. And the controller 30 aims at flavoring to the foodstuff 1 accommodated in the processing tank 2 according to a predetermined | prescribed procedure (program).

次に、本実施例の香り付け装置を用いた香り付け方法について説明する。それには、まず処理槽2の扉9を開けて、香り付けを行いたい食材1を処理槽2内に収容する。そして、扉9を閉じて処理槽2内を密閉した状態で、減圧手段3により処理槽2内を減圧する。すなわち、香り導入弁15を閉じた状態で、第一真空ユニット11により処理槽2内の空気を外部へ吸引排出する。   Next, a scenting method using the scenting apparatus of the present embodiment will be described. For that purpose, first, the door 9 of the processing tank 2 is opened, and the food 1 to be scented is accommodated in the processing tank 2. Then, the inside of the processing tank 2 is depressurized by the decompression means 3 with the door 9 closed and the inside of the processing tank 2 sealed. That is, with the scent introduction valve 15 closed, the air in the processing tank 2 is sucked and discharged to the outside by the first vacuum unit 11.

この際、制御器30は、圧力センサ6により処理槽2内の圧力を監視しながら、第一真空ユニット11を制御することで、処理槽2内を所望圧力に調整することができる。そして、処理槽2内を所望圧力にて所望時間だけ保持することで、食材1の真空冷却を図ることもできる。その際、品温センサ(不図示)を用いて、処理槽2内の食材1の温度を監視することで、目標温度までの真空冷却を確実に行うこともできる。   At this time, the controller 30 can adjust the inside of the processing tank 2 to a desired pressure by controlling the first vacuum unit 11 while monitoring the pressure in the processing tank 2 by the pressure sensor 6. And the vacuum cooling of the foodstuff 1 can also be aimed at by hold | maintaining the inside of the processing tank 2 for a desired time at a desired pressure. At that time, the temperature of the food 1 in the processing tank 2 is monitored using a product temperature sensor (not shown), so that the vacuum cooling to the target temperature can be reliably performed.

一方、香り発生器4においては、その本体容器13で香り気体が生成され貯留される。具体的には、まず香り導入弁15、給気弁29および液供給弁19を閉じた状態で、第二真空ユニット21により本体容器13内の空気が排出され、本体容器13内が設定圧力とされる。また、本体容器13の中空部24内へは蒸気が供給され、本体容器13内は設定温度とされる。その後、液供給弁19を開くと共に液供給ポンプ18を作動させることで、本体容器13内へ所定量の香り液体が供給される。そして、本体容器13内に供給された香り液体は、溶媒も含めて全量蒸発され、香り気体として本体容器13内に貯留される。   On the other hand, in the scent generator 4, scent gas is generated and stored in the main body container 13. Specifically, first, with the scent introduction valve 15, the air supply valve 29 and the liquid supply valve 19 closed, the air in the main body container 13 is discharged by the second vacuum unit 21, and the inside of the main body container 13 is set to a set pressure. Is done. Further, steam is supplied into the hollow portion 24 of the main body container 13, and the inside of the main body container 13 is set to a set temperature. Thereafter, the liquid supply valve 19 is opened and the liquid supply pump 18 is operated to supply a predetermined amount of fragrant liquid into the main body container 13. The scented liquid supplied into the main body container 13 is evaporated in its entirety, including the solvent, and stored in the main body container 13 as a scented gas.

第一真空ユニット11により処理槽2内を所望圧力まで減圧後、処理槽2内を復圧する際に、処理槽2内へ香り気体を導入して、処理槽2内の食材1への香り付けが図られる。そのためには、第一真空ユニット11の作動を停止すると共に前記排気弁(不図示)を閉じた状態で、香り導入弁15を開くと共に給気弁29を開けばよい。これにより、処理槽2内へ香り気体および外気が導入され、処理槽2内が復圧される。この復圧時に、処理槽2内へ供給される香り気体により、処理槽2内に収容された食材1への香り成分の含浸を図ることができる。このようにして、たとえば、おにぎりへの香り付けを行うことができる。   When the inside of the processing tank 2 is depressurized to the desired pressure by the first vacuum unit 11 and then the inside of the processing tank 2 is decompressed, the scent gas is introduced into the processing tank 2 to scent the food 1 in the processing tank 2. Is planned. For that purpose, the scent introduction valve 15 and the air supply valve 29 may be opened while the operation of the first vacuum unit 11 is stopped and the exhaust valve (not shown) is closed. As a result, the scent gas and the outside air are introduced into the processing tank 2 and the pressure in the processing tank 2 is restored. At the time of the return pressure, the scent component supplied into the processing tank 2 can be impregnated with the scent gas supplied into the processing tank 2. In this way, for example, a rice ball can be scented.

本発明の香り付け装置は、前記実施例の構成に限らず、適宜変更可能である。たとえば、前記実施例では、復圧手段5による外気は、一旦、香り発生器4の本体容器13内へ供給した後、処理槽2内へ供給したが、直接に処理槽2内へ供給してもよい。その場合、給気管27の中途に、香り導入管14を接続してもよい。   The scenting device of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, but can be changed as appropriate. For example, in the above embodiment, the outside air from the decompression means 5 is once supplied into the main body container 13 of the scent generator 4 and then into the processing tank 2, but is directly supplied into the processing tank 2. Also good. In that case, the scent introduction pipe 14 may be connected in the middle of the air supply pipe 27.

また、第二真空ユニット21は、第一真空ユニット11と別に設ける必要はなく、両者を共通化してもよい。その場合、本体容器13からの真空引き管22も、第一真空ユニット11に接続すればよい。あるいは、図1において、真空引き管22および第二真空ユニット21を省略した構成とすることもできる。その場合、給気弁29を閉じる一方、香り導入弁15は開いた状態で、第一真空ユニット11により、処理槽2内および本体容器13内の空気を排除した後、香り導入弁15を閉じればよい。そして、その後は前記実施例と同様に、減圧下の本体容器13内へ香り液体を導入して、蒸発させることで香り気体とすればよい。   The second vacuum unit 21 does not need to be provided separately from the first vacuum unit 11 and may be shared. In that case, the vacuum pulling tube 22 from the main body container 13 may also be connected to the first vacuum unit 11. Alternatively, the vacuum drawing tube 22 and the second vacuum unit 21 may be omitted in FIG. In that case, while the air supply valve 29 is closed, the scent introduction valve 15 is opened, and after the air in the processing tank 2 and the main body container 13 is removed by the first vacuum unit 11, the scent introduction valve 15 is closed. That's fine. Then, similarly to the above-described embodiment, the scent liquid may be introduced into the main body container 13 under reduced pressure and evaporated to form the scent gas.
