以下、本発明の実施形態について図面に基づいて説明すると、図１は本発明の概略の側面図であり、主な構成としては、所定間隔をおいて送り止め片１５が複数設けられた傾斜設置されたネットコンベア１と、該ネットコンベア１の無端メッシュベルト１１の外側を覆う本体ケーシング２と、前記ネットコンベア１の下側箇所から茶葉を投入できる入口ホッパ３１と、該入口ホッパ３１の上側位置に茶葉に噴霧する噴霧ノズル５等とから構成されている。   DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of the present invention. The main configuration is an inclined installation in which a plurality of feed stoppers 15 are provided at a predetermined interval. Net conveyor 1, body casing 2 covering the outside of endless mesh belt 11 of net conveyor 1, inlet hopper 31 into which tea leaves can be poured from the lower part of net conveyor 1, and upper position of inlet hopper 31 And the spray nozzle 5 for spraying tea leaves.

前記ネットコンベア１は、無端メッシュベルト１１にて構成さている。該無端メッシュベルト１１は、駆動側スプロケット１３と従動側プーリ１４との間に巻き掛けされ無端チェーン１２に取付けられている。具体的には、適宜の間隔をおいて（約１ｍ内外）左右側に設けられた無端チェーン１２，１２のリンクに取付けられている。また、前記両駆動側スプロケット１３，１３との間、両従動側プーリ１４，１４との間には、前記無端メッシュベルト１１の折り返し箇所を保護する支持プーリ１８が複数設けられている。   The net conveyor 1 is composed of an endless mesh belt 11. The endless mesh belt 11 is wound around a drive side sprocket 13 and a driven pulley 14 and attached to an endless chain 12. Specifically, they are attached to links of endless chains 12 and 12 provided on the left and right sides at an appropriate interval (about 1 m inside and outside). A plurality of support pulleys 18 are provided between the drive side sprockets 13 and 13 and between the driven pulleys 14 and 14 to protect the folded end of the endless mesh belt 11.

前記従動側プーリ１４が下側で、前記駆動側スプロケット１３が上側にそれぞれ位置するようにして傾斜状（約４５前後）に設置されている（図１参照）。特に、前記駆動側スプロケット１３の直径が前記従動側プーリ１４の直径よりも大きく形成されているが、同径にすることもある。また、前記無端メッシュベルト１１の長手方向において適宜の間隔（約３０ｃｍ前後）で、送り止め片１５が多数設けられている。   The driven pulley 14 is disposed on the lower side, and the driving side sprocket 13 is disposed on the upper side, so that the driven pulley 14 is installed in an inclined shape (about 45) (see FIG. 1). In particular, although the diameter of the drive side sprocket 13 is formed larger than the diameter of the driven pulley 14, it may be the same diameter. In addition, a large number of feed stoppers 15 are provided at appropriate intervals (about 30 cm) in the longitudinal direction of the endless mesh belt 11.

該送り止め片１５は、断面Ｌ形状をなし、垂直状の送り片１５ａと水平状の取付部１５ｂとで形成され、取付部１５ａが、左右側に無端チェーン１２，１２のリンクの突片間に固着された棒状板片１１ａにボルト・ナット１５ｃにて固着されている〔図２（Ｄ）参照〕。前記送り止め片１５の送り片１５ａが外表面側を移動する。   The feed stop piece 15 has an L-shaped cross section and is formed of a vertical feed piece 15a and a horizontal attachment portion 15b. The attachment portion 15a is provided between the protruding pieces of the links of the endless chains 12 and 12 on the left and right sides. It is fixed to the rod-shaped plate piece 11a fixed to the head with bolts and nuts 15c [see FIG. 2 (D)]. The feed piece 15a of the feed stop piece 15 moves on the outer surface side.

前記無端メッシュベルト１１は、合成樹脂製にて構成され、そのメッシュ径は、約２ｍｍ程度に形成されている。これは、茶葉の茎（約２、３ｍｍ程度）が、メッシュ孔につまらないようにされている。つまり、前記無端メッシュベルト１１のメッシュ孔からは、火山灰や水は通過するが茶葉は通過しないように構成されている。   The endless mesh belt 11 is made of a synthetic resin and has a mesh diameter of about 2 mm. This is so that the stems of tea leaves (about 2, 3 mm) do not get caught in the mesh holes. That is, the mesh hole of the endless mesh belt 11 is configured such that volcanic ash and water pass but tea leaves do not pass.

また、前記無端メッシュベルト１１を側面から見た外形と、前記無端チェーン１２を側面から見た外形とは略一致しており、図４（Ａ）において図示しているが、図１においては、無端メッシュベルト１１の外形を表示し、前記無端チェーン１２の表示は鎖線で示している。   Further, the outer shape of the endless mesh belt 11 viewed from the side and the outer shape of the endless chain 12 viewed from the side are substantially the same as shown in FIG. 4A, but in FIG. The outer shape of the endless mesh belt 11 is displayed, and the display of the endless chain 12 is indicated by a chain line.

前記本体ケーシング２は、前記無端メッシュベルト１１の下側から底部の上側寄りまで設けられている。図２（Ａ）に示すように、前記本体ケーシング２の横幅は、前記送り止め片１５の幅よりも大きく、しかも左右側の無端チェーン１２，１２間よりも内側位置に、両側部２２，２２が形成され、該両側部２２，２２間には、ケーシング表面部２１が固着されている。図１に示すように、前記本体ケーシング２の下側箇所には、無数の小径孔２１ａが開口され、そこから汚水が流れ出る。この下側には、汚水回収パン９２が設けられている。   The main casing 2 is provided from the lower side of the endless mesh belt 11 to the upper side of the bottom. As shown in FIG. 2 (A), the lateral width of the main casing 2 is larger than the width of the feed-stop piece 15, and is located on the inner side of the endless chains 12, 12 on the left and right sides. The casing surface portion 21 is fixed between the both side portions 22 and 22. As shown in FIG. 1, innumerable small-diameter holes 21a are opened at the lower portion of the main body casing 2, and sewage flows out therefrom. On the lower side, a sewage collection pan 92 is provided.

特に、前記ケーシング表面部２１と前記送り止め片１５の先端との隙間δ〔図３（Ｄ）参照〕は、数ｍｍ乃至約１ｃｍとなっている。また、前記本体ケーシング２は、本体枠２５に取付けられ、該本体枠２５には前記駆動側スプロケット１３及び従動側プーリ１４のそれぞれの軸部が軸受２６を介して回転可能に設けられている。さらに、前記本体枠２５には、垂直状脚部２７及び水平状腕部２８等がそれぞれ設けられている。   In particular, a gap δ (see FIG. 3D) between the casing surface portion 21 and the tip of the feed stopper 15 is several mm to about 1 cm. The main body casing 2 is attached to a main body frame 25, and the shaft portions of the driving side sprocket 13 and the driven side pulley 14 are rotatably provided on the main body frame 25 via bearings 26. Further, the main body frame 25 is provided with vertical leg portions 27, horizontal arm portions 28, and the like.

前記入口ホッパ３１は、茶葉を投入する枡状部であり、前記本体ケーシング２の下側の箇所から上側に開口するように設けられている。前記入口ホッパ３１の両側の上側位置であって、前記無端メッシュベルト１１の上側開放箇所には側板３２，３２が設けられ、さらに前記無端メッシュベルト１１の傾斜上端箇所を平面的に包むように出口シュート３３が設けられている。   The inlet hopper 31 is a bowl-shaped portion into which tea leaves are introduced, and is provided so as to open upward from the lower portion of the main body casing 2. Side plates 32 and 32 are provided at upper positions on both sides of the inlet hopper 31 and on the upper open side of the endless mesh belt 11, and the outlet chute is further wrapped in a plane so as to cover the inclined upper end portion of the endless mesh belt 11. 33 is provided.

前記無端メッシュベルト１１の傾斜上側位置の上方位置には、該無端メッシュベルト１１の傾斜上側位置に達した火山灰を被った茶葉に対して最初に噴霧する、噴霧ノズル５が複数設けられている。該噴霧ノズル５は、平面的に見て前記無端メッシュベルト１１の上端位置から長手方向を向いて配置された配管５１に複数（図では３個）設けられている。前記無端メッシュベルト１１の幅方向から見ると、その全幅に載置された茶葉に噴霧できるようになっている。   A plurality of spray nozzles 5 for first spraying tea leaves covered with volcanic ash that has reached the inclined upper position of the endless mesh belt 11 are provided above the inclined upper position of the endless mesh belt 11. A plurality (three in the figure) of the spray nozzles 5 are provided on the pipe 51 arranged in the longitudinal direction from the upper end position of the endless mesh belt 11 when seen in a plan view. When viewed from the width direction of the endless mesh belt 11, the endless mesh belt 11 can be sprayed on the tea leaves placed on the entire width thereof.

前記無端メッシュベルト１１の傾斜上側位置の左右側の駆動側スプロケット１３，１３との間で、しかも前記無端メッシュベルト１１の内側位置に、第２番目に茶葉に噴霧する、噴霧内部ノズル６が１又は複数設けられている〔図４（Ａ）及び（Ｂ）参照〕。該噴霧内部ノズル６は、図４（Ｂ）に示すように、前記無端メッシュベルト１１の表面に付着した火山灰付きの茶葉を、該無端メッシュベルト１１の表面から吹き飛ばしつつ前記出口シュート３３に流出させる働きをなす。   A spray internal nozzle 6 that sprays tea leaves secondly on the inner side of the endless mesh belt 11 between the left and right drive side sprockets 13, 13 at the inclined upper position of the endless mesh belt 11. Alternatively, a plurality of them are provided [see FIGS. 4A and 4B]. As shown in FIG. 4B, the spray internal nozzle 6 causes the tea leaves with volcanic ash attached to the surface of the endless mesh belt 11 to flow out from the surface of the endless mesh belt 11 to the outlet chute 33. Work.

前記噴霧内部ノズル６の配管６１は、図４（Ａ）に示すように、前記噴霧ノズル５の配管５１と連続されて主配管６５を介して図示しない適宜の水源に連続している。回転ブラシ７は、前記出口シュート３３内であって、前記無端メッシュベルト１１の傾斜上側位置で追い返し箇所の位置で、下側から払い落す役割をなすように設けられている。前記回転ブラシ７は、多数のブラシ毛が放射状に設けられると共に全体としてブラシ軸に対して円筒状に設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 4A, the pipe 61 of the spray internal nozzle 6 is continuous with the pipe 51 of the spray nozzle 5 and continues to an appropriate water source (not shown) via the main pipe 65. The rotary brush 7 is provided in the outlet chute 33 so as to play off from the lower side at the repositioning position at the upper inclined position of the endless mesh belt 11. The rotary brush 7 is provided with a large number of brush hairs in a radial shape and is provided in a cylindrical shape with respect to the brush shaft as a whole.

前記入口ホッパ３１から撒かれた茶葉は、自ずと凹凸状態となるために、これをある程度、均一厚さにして給葉する必要がある。このために、該入口ホッパ３１と前記噴霧ノズル５との間に設けられた掻きならし装置８を駆動させる。該掻きならし装置８は、ヒトデ状に棒片が放射状に設けられつつ、この放射状棒片が軸方向に何層にも連なって構成され、この駆動は、第２電動機Ｍ２による。さらに、前記掻きならし装置８は、ネジ杆を介して適宜高さ調整可能に設けられている。   Since the tea leaves sown from the inlet hopper 31 are naturally uneven, it is necessary to feed them with a uniform thickness to some extent. For this purpose, the stirring device 8 provided between the inlet hopper 31 and the spray nozzle 5 is driven. The stirring device 8 is configured such that the radial bar pieces are arranged in layers in the axial direction while the bar pieces are radially provided in a starfish shape, and this driving is performed by the second electric motor M2. Further, the leveling device 8 is provided so that its height can be adjusted as appropriate via a screw rod.

前記回転ブラシ７の回転方向は、図１において右方向に回転し、且つ前記出口シュート３３内に跳ね飛ばす。この駆動電動機は、図示しないが単独で設けることもある。また、また、前記駆動側スプロケット１３の駆動は、強力な駆動力を必要とすることから、第１電動機Ｍ１が設けられている。図中１６は調整スプロケット、９１は次の作業である洗浄機、９２は汚水回収パンである。   The rotating brush 7 rotates in the right direction in FIG. 1 and jumps into the outlet chute 33. Although not shown, this drive motor may be provided alone. Further, since the driving side sprocket 13 requires a strong driving force, a first electric motor M1 is provided. In the figure, 16 is an adjusting sprocket, 91 is a washing machine which is the next operation, and 92 is a sewage collection pan.

次に、作用について説明する。火山灰を被った茶葉を入口ホッパ３１に投入する。すると、ネットコンベア１が、図１において右廻りしているため、その茶葉は、送り止め片１５を介して、上側に移動する。そこで、まず、噴霧ノズル５の噴霧にて、茶葉の火山灰を洗う。茶葉は、ネットコンベア１の上端を折り返して、通常は、そこから出口シュート３３内に入り、次の洗浄機９１に投入する。   Next, the operation will be described. Tea leaves covered with volcanic ash are put into the entrance hopper 31. Then, since the net conveyor 1 rotates clockwise in FIG. 1, the tea leaf moves upward via the feed stopper 15. Therefore, the tea leaf volcanic ash is first washed by spraying the spray nozzle 5. The tea leaves are folded back at the upper end of the net conveyor 1 and normally enter the exit chute 33 from there and are put into the next washing machine 91.

以上は、一般的であるが、これでは、ネットコンベア１の上端を折り返して後に、無端メッシュベルト１１面に張り付いたまま、戻ってくる茶葉も多い。このときには、特に、図４（Ａ）及び（Ｂ）に示すように、噴霧内部ノズル６にて、無端メッシュベルト１１の内側から該無端メッシュベルト１１面に張り付いた茶葉等を吹き飛ばす。つまり、噴霧した霧及び水滴は、無端メッシュベルト１１の約２ｍｍ前後の孔から飛び出すことで張りつき茶葉等を吹き飛ばしつつ出口シュート３３内に入れる役割をなす。さらに、前記回転ブラシ７は、無端メッシュベルト１１面に張り付いた茶葉を払い落す。   The above is general, but in this case, there are many tea leaves that are returned to the end of the endless mesh belt 11 after the upper end of the net conveyor 1 is folded back. At this time, in particular, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the tea leaves attached to the surface of the endless mesh belt 11 from the inside of the endless mesh belt 11 are blown off by the spray internal nozzle 6. That is, the sprayed mist and water droplets play a role of being put into the outlet chute 33 while blowing off sticky tea leaves or the like by jumping out from a hole of about 2 mm in the endless mesh belt 11. Further, the rotating brush 7 wipes off the tea leaves attached to the endless mesh belt 11 surface.

これでも、無端メッシュベルト１１面に張り付いたまま、戻ってくる茶葉もある。これは、図３（Ａ）のように戻ってくる。このとき。本発明では、前記ネットコンベア１の無端メッシュベルト１１の外側を覆う前記本体ケーシング２の上端箇所から下側箇所の下側面の下側板部が、送り止め片１５の端に接する程度に近接して位置していることで、戻る略全ての茶葉が、図３（Ａ）に示すように、前後の送り止め片１５（i），１５（i）内に囲まれる。   Even with this, there are also tea leaves that come back while sticking to the endless mesh belt 11 surface. This returns as shown in FIG. At this time. In the present invention, the lower plate portion of the lower side surface of the main body casing 2 covering the outside of the endless mesh belt 11 of the net conveyor 1 is close enough to contact the end of the feed stopper piece 15. By being positioned, almost all of the tea leaves that are returned are surrounded by the front and rear feed pieces 15 (i) and 15 (i) as shown in FIG.

その直後は、図３（Ｂ）に示すように、前後の送り止め片１５（ii），１５（ii）内に囲まれて移送される。このとき、茶葉に被った火山灰による汚水が無数の小径孔２１ａから流出する。この汚水を取り去った茶葉が、図３（Ｃ）に示すように、前後の送り止め片１５（iii），１５（iii）内に囲まれて移送される。このときには、その茶葉は、予備的ではあるが洗浄されている。   Immediately thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), it is transported surrounded by the front and rear feed stoppers 15 (ii) and 15 (ii). At this time, the sewage caused by the volcanic ash on the tea leaves flows out from the countless small-diameter holes 21a. As shown in FIG. 3C, the tea leaves from which the sewage has been removed are transported surrounded by front and rear feed stoppers 15 (iii) and 15 (iii). At this time, the tea leaves are preliminarily washed.

この状態で、２回転目となって、前述と同様に移送されつつ洗浄されて、出口シュート３３及び洗浄機９１に移送する。このような移送状態にて、次の噴霧内部ノズル６にて殆ど出口シュート３３側に飛ばされる効果がある。なお、前記本体ケーシング２の下側箇所の多数の小径孔２１ａ箇所の円形部を、扉状部２９として、掃除及びメンテナンスのために設けることもある〔図３（Ｃ）参照〕。   In this state, it becomes the second rotation, is cleaned while being transferred in the same manner as described above, and is transferred to the outlet chute 33 and the washing machine 91. In such a transfer state, there is an effect that the next spray internal nozzle 6 is almost blown to the outlet chute 33 side. In addition, the circular part of many small-diameter hole 21a places of the lower part of the said main body casing 2 may be provided for cleaning and a maintenance as the door-shaped part 29 (refer FIG.3 (C)).

火山灰が被った茶葉生産地は、日本では鹿児島の桜島地域関連である。この地方での茶葉は、洗浄することが食品茶として必須である。特に、火山灰は地質学的には、火山から噴出されたもののうち、直径２ｍｍ以下の大きさのものであり、物質としては、火山ガラス、鉱物、結晶などの破片である。   The tea leaf production area covered with volcanic ash is related to the Sakurajima area in Kagoshima in Japan. Tea leaves in this region must be washed as food tea. In particular, the volcanic ash is geologically one having a diameter of 2 mm or less among those ejected from the volcano, and the material is fragments of volcanic glass, minerals, crystals, and the like.

その火山灰は、単なる埃とは異なり、水に濡れると張り付くという性質もあるが、本発明の図３（Ａ）〜（Ｃ）のような構成とすることでも、装置内部への貼り付きや塊状化などをかなり回避でき、装置の耐久化にも良好となり、メンテナンスの点でも優れたものにできる。   The volcanic ash, unlike mere dust, has the property of sticking when wet with water, but even if it is configured as shown in FIGS. Can be avoided considerably, the durability of the apparatus is improved, and the maintenance can be improved.

さらに、本発明では、水を単に噴霧する第１番目の噴霧ノズル５の他に、噴霧内部ノズル６及び回転ブラシ７などの存在によって、火山灰を被った茶葉に対して予備的な洗浄がかなり良好にできる。このことで、後の洗浄機での洗浄力向上に多大な効果を奏する。この点も重要であり、本発明の提供は、この地域の環境保護にも十分に対応できるものである。   Furthermore, in the present invention, in addition to the first spray nozzle 5 that merely sprays water, the presence of the spray internal nozzle 6 and the rotating brush 7 makes the preliminary cleaning for the tea leaves covered with volcanic ash fairly good. Can be. This has a great effect on improving the cleaning power of a subsequent cleaning machine. This is also important, and the provision of the present invention can sufficiently cope with environmental protection in this region.
