Description
本発明は農畜産物の洗浄装置に関し、特に、鶏卵等の農畜産物を搬送させながら洗浄する洗浄部を上下方向に複数配置させた農畜産物の洗浄装置に関するものである。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an agricultural and livestock product cleaning apparatus, and more particularly to an agricultural and livestock product cleaning apparatus in which a plurality of cleaning units are arranged in the vertical direction for cleaning while transporting agricultural and livestock products such as chicken eggs.
鶏舎において産卵された鶏卵は、鶏卵を選別して包装するＧＰセンター（Grading and Packaging Center）へ運ばれ、ＧＰセンターの搬送ラインにおける所定の位置において、たとえば６列等の所定の列に区分けされる。区分けされた鶏卵は、洗浄装置に搬入されて所定の洗浄処理と乾燥処理が施され、その後、次工程へ向けて搬出される。 Eggs laid in the poultry house are transported to a GP center (Grading and Packaging Center) for sorting and packaging the eggs, and are divided into predetermined rows such as six rows at predetermined positions on the GP center transport line. . The sorted eggs are carried into a washing device, subjected to predetermined washing treatment and drying treatment, and then carried out for the next process.
ここで、この種の洗浄装置の一例として、特許文献１に開示された洗浄装置について説明する。この洗浄装置では、鶏卵を搬送させる搬送通路が設けられ、その搬送通路には、区分けされた鶏卵がその状態で搬送されるように、樋状の複数の条が形成されている。搬送通路は、鶏卵の搬送方向の上流側が低く下流側が高くなるように傾斜させて配置されている。また、搬送通路の上方には洗浄用のブラシが配置されている。さらに、傾斜が高い側の搬送経路の上方には、搬送通路へ向けて洗浄用の湯を供給する給湯口が設けられている。
Here, as an example of this type of cleaning apparatus, the cleaning apparatus disclosed in
この種の洗浄装置では、給湯口から放出された湯は、搬送通路の傾斜の高い側から低い側へ向かって樋状の搬送通路を流れる。鶏卵は、傾斜の低い側から高い側へ向かって搬送されている間に、傾斜の高い側から低い側へ向かって流れる湯に浸されながらブラシ等によって洗浄される。洗浄された鶏卵には乾燥処理が施されて、次工程へ向けて送り出されることになる。 In this type of cleaning device, the hot water discharged from the hot water supply port flows through the bowl-shaped conveyance path from the high inclination side of the conveyance path toward the low side. While the eggs are being conveyed from the low inclination side to the high side, the eggs are washed with a brush or the like while being immersed in hot water flowing from the high inclination side to the low side. The cleaned eggs are dried and sent to the next process.
従来の農畜産物の洗浄装置では、次のような問題点があった。鶏卵等に付着した汚れ等をブラシによって確実に落とそうとすると、あらかじめ鶏卵等を十分に湯浴みさせておく必要がある。一方、ＧＰセンターでは、大量の鶏卵を処理する必要があるため、洗浄装置にも処理能力の向上が求められている。 Conventional agricultural and livestock product cleaning devices have the following problems. In order to remove dirt or the like adhering to chicken eggs with a brush, it is necessary to sufficiently bathe the chicken eggs in advance. On the other hand, since it is necessary to process a large amount of eggs at the GP center, the cleaning apparatus is also required to improve the processing capacity.
ところが、洗浄装置の処理能力を向上させようとして搬送速度を上げようとすると、湯に浸されながら搬送通路を搬送される鶏卵等を十分に湯浴みさせることができなくなり、鶏卵等に付着した汚れ等をブラシによって落とすことができなくなってしまう。そこで、このような問題を回避するために、搬送通路を長く設定して湯浴み時間を確保する必要がある。その結果、洗浄装置の占有面積が増加してしまうという問題点があった。 However, if it is attempted to increase the conveying speed in order to improve the processing capacity of the cleaning device, it is not possible to sufficiently bathe the chicken eggs etc. that are conveyed in the conveying passage while being immersed in hot water, such as dirt adhered to the chicken eggs etc. Cannot be removed with a brush. Therefore, in order to avoid such a problem, it is necessary to secure a bathing time by setting the conveyance path long. As a result, there is a problem that the occupation area of the cleaning device increases.
本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的は、占有面積の削減が図られる農畜産物の洗浄装置を提供することである。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide an agricultural and livestock product cleaning apparatus capable of reducing the occupied area.

And a plurality of cleaning units. A conveyance part conveys the agricultural and livestock products carried in to the carrying-in part toward the carrying-out part. The plurality of cleaning units each include a transport passage for cleaning while transporting agricultural and livestock products, and are arranged in the vertical direction. Among a plurality of cleaning units, in one cleaning unit and another cleaning unit that are adjacent in the vertical direction, one transport path of one cleaning unit and the other transport path of another cleaning unit are opposite in inclination. Each is tilted to face. In one cleaning section, agricultural and livestock products that are transported from the low slope side to the high side of one transport path are washed with a predetermined cleaning liquid that flows from the high slope side to the low side of the one transport path. Is done. In the other cleaning section, the agricultural and livestock products that are transported from the low inclination side of the other transport path toward the high side through one cleaning section are directed from the high inclination side of the other transport path toward the low side. It is cleaned with another predetermined cleaning liquid that flows through.
本発明に係る洗浄装置によれば、上下方向に配置されている複数の洗浄部のうち、上下方向に隣り合う一の洗浄部と他の洗浄部では、一の洗浄部の一の搬送通路と他の洗浄部の他の搬送通路とは、傾きが互いに反対の向きになるようにそれぞれ傾けられている。これにより、洗浄装置の占有面積を広げることなく、農畜産物を十分に洗浄することができる。 According to the cleaning apparatus of the present invention, among the plurality of cleaning units arranged in the vertical direction, in one cleaning unit adjacent to the vertical direction and the other cleaning unit, one conveyance path of one cleaning unit and The other cleaning passages are inclined so that the inclinations are opposite to each other. Thereby, agricultural and livestock products can be sufficiently washed without increasing the occupation area of the washing device.

図１に示すように、洗浄装置ＥＣＭには、前工程から搬送された鶏卵を受け入れる鶏卵搬入部ＥＩＰと、搬入された鶏卵を搬送しながら洗浄する洗浄部ＣＰと、洗浄された鶏卵を水切りする乾燥部ＤＰと、水切りが終わった鶏卵を次工程へ向けて送り出す鶏卵搬出部ＥＯＰとが設けられている。また、鶏卵搬入部ＥＩＰに受け入れられた鶏卵を、鶏卵搬出部ＥＯＰへ向けて搬送する搬送機構（搬送部）として、無限軌道をなすコンベアチェーンＣＣと搬送用パイプＰＰ（図４参照）等が取り付けられている。コンベアチェーンＣＣは、電動機、ベルトおよびスプロケット（いずれも図示せず）等を介して駆動される。 As shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning device ECM drains the cleaned egg from the egg loading part EIP that receives the egg transported from the previous process, the cleaning part CP that cleans the transported egg while transporting it. A drying unit DP and an egg carry-out unit EOP that feeds the egg after draining to the next process are provided. In addition, a conveyor chain CC and a transport pipe PP (see FIG. 4) forming an endless track are attached as a transport mechanism (transport section) that transports the eggs received by the egg carry-in section EIP toward the egg carry-out section EOP. It has been. The conveyor chain CC is driven via an electric motor, a belt, a sprocket (all not shown), and the like.
次に、洗浄部ＣＰについて詳しく説明する。洗浄部ＣＰは多段（多層）構造とされて、洗浄部ＣＰとして、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３が、上下方向に配置されている。後述するように、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と第２洗浄部ＣＰ２において前洗浄が行われ、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３において本洗浄が行われる。第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３のそれぞれには、鶏卵が搬送される通路として、波板ＴＢ（第１波板ＴＢ１、第２波板ＴＢ２、第３波板ＴＢ３）が配置されている。 Next, the cleaning unit CP will be described in detail. The cleaning unit CP has a multi-stage (multilayer) structure, and the first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3 are arranged in the vertical direction as the cleaning unit CP. As will be described later, the pre-cleaning is performed in the first cleaning unit CP1 and the second cleaning unit CP2, and the main cleaning is performed in the third cleaning unit CP3. Each of the first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3 has a corrugated plate TB (first corrugated plate TB1, second corrugated plate TB2, third corrugated plate) as a passage through which eggs are conveyed. TB3) is arranged.
図２に示すように、その波板ＴＢ（第１波板ＴＢ１、第２波板ＴＢ２、第３波板ＴＢ３）には、鶏卵を搬送させながら洗浄液としての湯が流される樋が形成されている。図３に示すように、波板ＴＢには、樋として、板状の底面部ＢＴと斜面部ＳＬとが形成されている。斜面部ＳＬは、底面部ＢＴから搬送方向と略直交する一方と他方とに向かって傾斜している。底面部ＢＴは、鶏卵ＥＧの重力を実質的に受ける役割を担っている。斜面部ＳＬは、底面部ＢＴに支持されている部分に対して鶏卵ＥＧの鈍端側または鋭端側に位置する所定の部分を支持する役割を担っている。このような構造にすることで、鶏卵ＥＧの長軸を搬送用パイプＰＰと略平行に保持しながら、鶏卵ＥＧを搬送させることができる。なお、この波板ＴＢでは、一例として６つの樋が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the corrugated sheet TB (the first corrugated sheet TB1, the second corrugated sheet TB2, the third corrugated sheet TB3) is formed with a ridge in which hot water as a washing liquid is made to flow while the eggs are being conveyed. Yes. As shown in FIG. 3, the corrugated plate TB is formed with a plate-like bottom surface portion BT and an inclined surface portion SL as ridges. The inclined surface portion SL is inclined from the bottom surface portion BT toward one and the other substantially orthogonal to the transport direction. The bottom surface portion BT has a role of substantially receiving the gravity of the egg EG. The slope portion SL plays a role of supporting a predetermined portion located on the blunt end side or the sharp end side of the egg EG with respect to the portion supported by the bottom surface portion BT. With such a structure, the egg EG can be transported while the major axis of the egg EG is held substantially parallel to the transport pipe PP. In this corrugated sheet TB, six wrinkles are formed as an example.
図１および図２に示すように、第１波板ＴＢ１、第２波板ＴＢ２および第３波板ＴＢ３のそれぞれは、鶏卵の搬送方向（矢印ＴＶ参照）の下流側が搬送方向の上流側よりも高くなるように配置されている。第２洗浄部ＣＰ２の第２波板ＴＢ２は、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１の第１波板ＴＢ１の傾斜の向きとは反対の向きに傾斜させて配置されている。また、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３の第３波板ＴＢ３は、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２の第２波板ＴＢ２の傾斜の向きとは反対の向きに傾斜させて配置されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each of the first corrugated plate TB1, the second corrugated plate TB2 and the third corrugated plate TB3 has a downstream side in the egg transport direction (see arrow TV) more than an upstream side in the transport direction. It is arranged to be higher. The second corrugated plate TB2 of the second cleaning unit CP2 is disposed so as to be inclined in a direction opposite to the inclination direction of the first corrugated plate TB1 of the first cleaning unit CP1. Further, the third corrugated plate TB3 of the third cleaning unit CP3 is disposed so as to be inclined in a direction opposite to the inclination direction of the second corrugated plate TB2 of the second cleaning unit CP2.
第１波板ＴＢ１の傾斜が高い側と第２波板ＴＢ２の傾斜が低い側とは、折り返し部ＴＰによって繋がっている。第１洗浄部ＣＰ１を搬送されてきた鶏卵は、折り返し部ＴＰによってその搬送方向がほぼ反転されて、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２へ搬送されることになる。また、第２波板ＴＢ２の傾斜が高い側と第３波板ＴＢ３の傾斜が低い側とは、折り返し部ＴＰによって繋がっている。第２洗浄部ＣＰ２を搬送されてきた鶏卵は、折り返し部ＴＰによってその搬送方向がほぼ反転されて、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３へ搬送されることになる。 The side on which the slope of the first corrugated plate TB1 is high and the side on which the slope of the second corrugated plate TB2 is low are connected by a turn-back portion TP. The eggs that have been transported through the first cleaning unit CP1 are transported to the second cleaning unit CP2 with the transport direction thereof being substantially reversed by the turn-back unit TP. Moreover, the side where the inclination of the second corrugated sheet TB2 is high and the side where the inclination of the third corrugated sheet TB3 is low are connected by a turn-back portion TP. The eggs that have been transported through the second cleaning section CP2 are transported to the third cleaning section CP3 with the transporting direction thereof being substantially reversed by the folding section TP.
第１波板ＴＢ１、第２波板ＴＢ２および第３波板ＴＢ３のそれぞれの上方には、鶏卵に付着した汚れ等を搬送しながら除去する洗浄ブラシＳＣＢが配置されている。第３波板ＴＢ３の傾斜の高い側の上方には、洗浄液としての湯を第３波板ＴＢ３に向けて放出する湯供給部ＹＳが設けられている。湯供給部ＹＳから放出された湯は、傾斜した第３波板ＴＢ３、第２波板ＴＢ２および第１波板ＴＢ１を順次流れていくことになる。 Above each of the first corrugated plate TB1, the second corrugated plate TB2 and the third corrugated plate TB3, a cleaning brush SCB for removing dirt and the like adhering to the chicken egg is disposed. A hot water supply unit YS that discharges hot water as a cleaning liquid toward the third corrugated plate TB3 is provided above the inclined side of the third corrugated plate TB3. The hot water discharged from the hot water supply unit YS sequentially flows through the inclined third corrugated plate TB3, second corrugated plate TB2 and first corrugated plate TB1.
なお、洗浄液としての湯の供給の仕方としては、このように、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１に供給された湯を、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３において再利用する態様の他に、一の洗浄部で使用した湯を他の洗浄部において再利用しないように、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３のそれぞれに湯供給部ＹＳを設けて、清浄度の高い湯を、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３のそれぞれに供給するようにしてもよい。 In addition, as a method of supplying hot water as the cleaning liquid, in addition to the aspect in which the hot water supplied to the first cleaning unit CP1 is reused in the second cleaning unit CP2 and the third cleaning unit CP3 as described above, A hot water supply unit YS is provided in each of the first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3 so that the hot water used in the cleaning unit is not reused in other cleaning units. High hot water may be supplied to each of the first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3.
次に、鶏卵を搬送する搬送機構について詳しく説明する。図４に示すように、無限軌道をなすコンベアチェーンＣＣは、波板ＴＢの樋に載置された鶏卵を挟み込む態様で、１対のコンベアチェーンＣＣとして取り付けられている。１対のコンベアチェーンＣＣには、一方のコンベアチェーンＣＣと他方のコンベアチェーンＣＣとの間を繋ぐように、複数の搬送用パイプＰＰが、搬送方向に互いに間隔を隔てて取り付けられている。図５に示すように、搬送用パイプＰＰは、金属パイプＭＰと樹脂パイプＲＰとを含み、樹脂パイプＲＰに金属パイプＭＰが挿通されている。搬送用パイプＰＰは、金属パイプＭＰの両端にコロ軸の突出部ＫＡを挿通させることによってコンベアチェーンＣＣに取り付けられている。 Next, a transport mechanism for transporting chicken eggs will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 4, the conveyor chain CC which makes | forms an endless track is attached as a pair of conveyor chain CC in the aspect which pinches | interposes the egg placed in the cage | basket of the corrugated sheet TB. A plurality of transport pipes PP are attached to the pair of conveyor chains CC at intervals in the transport direction so as to connect between one conveyor chain CC and the other conveyor chain CC. As shown in FIG. 5, the transport pipe PP includes a metal pipe MP and a resin pipe RP, and the metal pipe MP is inserted through the resin pipe RP. The transport pipe PP is attached to the conveyor chain CC by inserting the roller shaft protrusions KA through both ends of the metal pipe MP.
鶏卵搬入部ＥＩＰに搬入された鶏卵ＥＧは、互いに隣接する一の搬送用パイプＰＰと他の搬送用パイプＰＰとの間に挟まれることによって、搬送方向と略直交する方向に整列される。コンベアチェーンＣＣの駆動に合わせて、各搬送用パイプＰＰが、搬送方向の前方に位置する鶏卵ＥＧを押しながら移動することによって、鶏卵ＥＧが波板ＴＢを搬送されることになる。 The chicken eggs EG carried into the chicken egg carrying-in part EIP are aligned in a direction substantially perpendicular to the carrying direction by being sandwiched between one carrying pipe PP and another carrying pipe PP adjacent to each other. As each conveyor pipe PP moves while pushing the egg EG positioned forward in the conveying direction in accordance with the driving of the conveyor chain CC, the egg EG is conveyed on the corrugated plate TB.
また、図６に示すように、搬送方向を反転させる折り返し部ＴＰには、コンベアチェーンＣＣをガイドする、略半円形の樹脂製のチェーンガイドＣＧが設けられている。コンベアチェーンＣＣのコロを、チェーンガイドＣＧの円弧の端面に接触させることによって、コンベアチェーンＣＣの駆動方向が反転される。このようなチェーンガイドＣＧの他に、洗浄装置ＥＣＭには、搬送方向の鉛直成分あるいは水平成分を変える変極点にスプロケットが設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 6, a substantially semi-circular resin chain guide CG for guiding the conveyor chain CC is provided in the turn-up portion TP that reverses the transport direction. The driving direction of the conveyor chain CC is reversed by bringing the rollers of the conveyor chain CC into contact with the end face of the arc of the chain guide CG. In addition to such a chain guide CG, the cleaning device ECM is provided with sprockets at inflection points that change the vertical component or horizontal component in the transport direction.
次に、折り返し部ＴＰについて詳しく説明する。図７、図８および図９に示すように、折り返し部ＴＰでは、コンベアチェーンの動きに合わせて鶏卵を保持（あるいは支持）しながら搬送するために、板状ガイド部ＢＧ、針金状ガイド部ＷＧおよび板ばねＰＳが配置されている。板状ガイド部ＢＧおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧは、略半円形のチェーンガイドＣＧにガイドされるコンベアチェーンの動きに対応するように、円弧状に配置されている。なお、図面の簡略化のために、図７では、板ばねは図示されていない。また、図８では、２組の板ばねＰＳを示す。 Next, the folding portion TP will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9, the folded portion TP transports the eggs while holding (or supporting) the eggs in accordance with the movement of the conveyor chain. A leaf spring PS is arranged. The plate-like guide part BG and the wire-like guide part WG are arranged in an arc shape so as to correspond to the movement of the conveyor chain guided by the substantially semicircular chain guide CG. For simplicity of the drawing, the leaf spring is not shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, two sets of leaf springs PS are shown.
板状ガイド部ＢＧおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧとして、板状ガイド部ＢＧＳおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳと、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＵとが配置されている。板状ガイド部ＢＧＳは第１波板ＴＢ１の底面部ＢＴと繋がり、針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳは第１波板ＴＢ１の斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている。第１波板ＴＢ１を搬送されてきた鶏卵は、この板状ガイド部ＢＧＳおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳによって支持されることになる。 As the plate-like guide part BG and the wire-like guide part WG, the plate-like guide part BGS and the wire-like guide part WGS, the plate-like guide part BGU, and the wire-like guide part WGU are arranged. The plate-shaped guide portion BGS is connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the first corrugated plate TB1, and the wire-shaped guide portion WGS is connected to the slope portion SL of the first corrugated plate TB1. The eggs that have been transported through the first corrugated plate TB1 are supported by the plate-shaped guide portion BGS and the wire-shaped guide portion WGS.
その板状ガイド部ＢＧＳには、その途中に分断された箇所があり、その箇所に板ばねＰＳが配置されている。板ばねＰＳは、板状ガイド部ＢＧＳおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳにより支持されながら搬送される鶏卵を、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＵの側に付勢するように配置されている。つまり、板ばねＰＳは、下から上に向かって円弧状に搬送される鶏卵を、外側から内側へ向かって付勢するように配置されている。 The plate-shaped guide part BGS has a part divided in the middle thereof, and a plate spring PS is arranged at the part. The leaf spring PS is disposed so as to urge the eggs transported while being supported by the plate-like guide portion BGS and the wire-like guide portion WGS toward the plate-like guide portion BGU and the wire-like guide portion WGU. That is, the leaf spring PS is arranged so as to urge the chicken eggs conveyed in an arc shape from the bottom to the top from the outside to the inside.
一方、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵは第２波板ＴＢ２の底面部ＢＴと繋がり、針金状ガイド部ＷＧＵは第２波板ＴＢ２の斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている。図１０に示すように、当初、板状ガイド部ＢＧＳおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳによって支持されている鶏卵（実線）は、搬送される途中で、板ばねＰＳによって円弧の内側に付勢されて、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＵによって支持されることになる（点線の鶏卵ＥＧ参照）。 On the other hand, the plate-shaped guide portion BGU is connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the second corrugated plate TB2, and the wire-shaped guide portion WGU is connected to the slope portion SL of the second corrugated plate TB2. As shown in FIG. 10, the egg (solid line) that is initially supported by the plate-shaped guide portion BGS and the wire-shaped guide portion WGS is urged to the inside of the arc by the leaf spring PS in the middle of being conveyed, It will be supported by the plate-like guide part BGU and the wire-like guide part WGU (see dotted egg EG).
次に、上述した鶏卵の洗浄装置ＥＣＭの洗浄動作について説明する。図１１に示すように、鶏卵搬入部ＥＩＰに搬入された鶏卵は、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３の順に搬送される。第１洗浄部ＣＰ１および第２洗浄部ＣＰ２では、前洗浄として鶏卵の湯浴みをし、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３では、湯浴みした鶏卵に本洗浄が行われる。 Next, the cleaning operation of the egg egg cleaning apparatus ECM will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, the eggs carried into the egg loading unit EIP are transported in the order of the first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3. In the first cleaning unit CP1 and the second cleaning unit CP2, the chicken eggs are bathed as pre-cleaning, and in the third cleaning unit CP3, the main cleaning is performed on the hot-boiled eggs.
その洗浄動作についてさらに詳しく説明する。図１２に示すように、湯供給部ＹＳから、洗浄液としての湯ＹＬが第３波板ＴＢ３に向けて放出される。第３波板ＴＢ３の傾斜の高い側に放出された湯ＹＬは、傾斜の低い側へ向かって第３波板ＴＢ３を流れ、その傾斜の低い側の端部から、下方に配置された第２波板ＴＢ２に流れ落ちる。第２波板ＴＢ２の傾斜の高い側に流れ落ちた湯ＹＬは、傾斜の低い側へ向かって第２波板ＴＢ２を流れ、その傾斜の低い側の端部から、下方に配置された第１波板ＴＢ１に流れ落ちる。第１波板ＴＢ１の傾斜の高い側に流れ落ちた湯ＹＬは、傾斜の低い側へ向かって第１波板ＴＢ１を流れ、その傾斜の低い側の端部から、ドレン（図示せず）へ流れ落ちる。鶏卵は、このように第３波板ＴＢ３、第２波板ＴＢ２および第１波板ＴＢ１を流れる湯とは反対方向に搬送させながら洗浄される。 The cleaning operation will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 12, hot water YL as a cleaning liquid is discharged from the hot water supply unit YS toward the third corrugated plate TB3. The hot water YL discharged to the high inclination side of the third corrugated sheet TB3 flows through the third corrugated sheet TB3 toward the low inclination side, and the second disposed below from the end of the low inclination side. It flows down to the corrugated plate TB2. The hot water YL that has flowed down to the high-tilt side of the second corrugated plate TB2 flows through the second corrugated plate TB2 toward the low-tilt side, and the first wave disposed below from the end of the low-tilt side. It flows down to the plate TB1. The hot water YL that has flowed down to the high-tilt side of the first corrugated plate TB1 flows through the first corrugated plate TB1 toward the low-tilt side, and flows down to the drain (not shown) from the end of the low-tilt side. . Thus, the eggs are washed while being conveyed in the opposite direction to the hot water flowing through the third corrugated plate TB3, the second corrugated plate TB2 and the first corrugated plate TB1.
鶏卵搬入部ＥＩＰに搬入された鶏卵は、まず、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１に搬送される（図１１参照）。第１洗浄部ＣＰ１では、前洗浄として、第３波板ＴＢ３と第２波板ＴＢ２を流れてきた湯ＹＬによって鶏卵の湯浴みをする。図１３に示すように、鶏卵ＥＧは、搬送用パイプＰＰによって第１波板ＴＢ１の樋を、湯ＹＬの流れ（矢印ＹＶ）とは反対方向に搬送される（矢印ＴＶ参照）。なお、図１３では、図の簡略化のために、一つの樋を搬送される鶏卵ＥＧを示す。 The chicken egg carried into the chicken egg carry-in part EIP is first transported to the first cleaning part CP1 (see FIG. 11). In the first cleaning section CP1, as a pre-cleaning, the chicken eggs are bathed in the hot water YL flowing through the third corrugated plate TB3 and the second corrugated plate TB2. As shown in FIG. 13, the egg EG is transported by the transport pipe PP in the direction opposite to the flow of hot water YL (arrow YV) through the first corrugated plate TB1 (see arrow TV). In addition, in FIG. 13, the egg EG which conveys one cage | basket is shown for the simplification of a figure.
このとき、鶏卵ＥＧは、樋を流れる湯ＹＬを堰き止めるようにしながら搬送されることになるため、少しの湯で鶏卵ＥＧの湯浴みをすることができ、湯の節約に貢献することができる。また、鶏卵ＥＧに付着している汚れ等のうち、比較的除去しやすい汚れ等は、洗浄ブラシＳＣＢによって除去される。 At this time, the egg EG is transported while damming the hot water YL flowing through the bowl, so that the chicken egg EG can be bathed with a little hot water, which can contribute to saving of hot water. Further, among the dirt and the like adhering to the egg EG, dirt that is relatively easy to remove is removed by the cleaning brush SCB.
こうして、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１の第１波板ＴＢ１を搬送された鶏卵ＥＧは、図１１および図１４に示すように、折り返し部ＴＰによって、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２の第２波板ＴＢ２へ搬送される。搬送用パイプＰＰによって第１波板ＴＢ１を搬送されてきた鶏卵ＥＧは、図１４に示すように、第１波板ＴＢ１の樋の底面部ＢＴと繋がっている板状ガイド部ＢＧＳと、斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳとに支持されて円弧を描きながら上方へ向けて搬送される。 Thus, the egg EG transported through the first corrugated plate TB1 of the first cleaning unit CP1 is transported to the second corrugated plate TB2 of the second cleaning unit CP2 by the folding unit TP, as shown in FIGS. The As shown in FIG. 14, the egg EG that has been transported through the first corrugated plate TB1 by the transport pipe PP has a plate-shaped guide portion BGS that is connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the cage of the first corrugated plate TB1, and a slope portion. It is supported by the wire-shaped guide part WGS connected to SL, and is conveyed upward while drawing an arc.
図８または図９に示すように、上方へ向けて搬送される途中に、鶏卵ＥＧは、板ばねＰＳによって円弧の内側へ付勢されて、第２波板ＴＢ２の樋の底面部ＢＴと繋がっている板状ガイド部ＢＧＵと、斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳとに接触する。板ばねＰＳによって板状ガイド部ＢＧＵと針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳとに接触させられた状態で搬送される鶏卵は、円弧を描くように上方へ搬送されるにしたがい、重力により板状ガイド部ＢＧＵと針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳとに支持された状態で折り返し部ＴＰを搬送されることになる。折り返し部ＴＰを搬送された鶏卵ＥＧは、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２へ送られる。 As shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, the egg EG is urged to the inside of the arc by the leaf spring PS and is connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the cage of the second corrugated plate TB2 while being conveyed upward. The plate-shaped guide part BGU which is connected to the wire-shaped guide part WGS connected to the slope part SL. The eggs that are conveyed while being brought into contact with the plate-like guide part BGU and the wire-like guide part WGS by the leaf spring PS are conveyed upward in a circular arc, and the plate-like guide part BGU is separated by gravity. The folded portion TP is conveyed while being supported by the wire-shaped guide portion WGS. The egg EG that has been conveyed through the turn-back portion TP is sent to the second cleaning portion CP2.
第２洗浄部ＣＰ２では、前洗浄として、第３波板ＴＢ３を経て第２波板ＴＢ２を流れる湯ＹＬによって鶏卵の湯浴みをする。図１５に示すように、鶏卵ＥＧは、搬送用パイプＰＰによって第２波板ＴＢ２の樋を、湯ＹＬの流れ（矢印ＹＶ）とは反対方向に搬送される（矢印ＴＶ参照）。なお、図１５では、図の簡略化のために、一つの樋を搬送される鶏卵ＥＧを示す。 In the second cleaning section CP2, as a pre-cleaning, the chicken eggs are bathed in hot water YL flowing through the second corrugated plate TB2 through the third corrugated plate TB3. As shown in FIG. 15, the egg EG is transported by the transport pipe PP in the direction opposite to the flow of hot water YL (arrow YV) through the second corrugated plate TB2 (see arrow TV). In addition, in FIG. 15, the egg EG which conveys one cage | basket is shown for the simplification of a figure.
このとき、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２では、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と同様に、鶏卵ＥＧは、樋を流れる湯ＹＬを堰き止めるようにしながら搬送されることになるため、少しの湯で鶏卵ＥＧの湯浴みをすることができ、湯の節約に貢献することができる。また、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２には、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１において湯浴みをした鶏卵が搬送されてくるため、鶏卵ＥＧに付着している汚れ等が浮いて、洗浄ブラシＳＣＢによって除去しやすくなる。 At this time, in the second cleaning section CP2, as in the first cleaning section CP1, the chicken eggs EG are transported while damming the hot water YL flowing through the tub. Can contribute to saving hot water. In addition, since the chicken eggs bathed in the first cleaning unit CP1 are transported to the second cleaning unit CP2, dirt or the like adhering to the eggs EG floats and is easily removed by the cleaning brush SCB.
こうして、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２の第２波板ＴＢ２を搬送された鶏卵ＥＧは、図１１および図１６に示すように、折り返し部ＴＰによって、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と第２洗浄部ＣＰ２とを繋ぐ折り返し部ＴＰと同様にして、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３の第３波板ＴＢ３へ円弧を描きながら搬送される。 Thus, the egg EG transported through the second corrugated plate TB2 of the second cleaning unit CP2 connects the first cleaning unit CP1 and the second cleaning unit CP2 by the turn-back unit TP as shown in FIGS. In the same manner as the folding portion TP, the sheet is conveyed while drawing an arc to the third corrugated plate TB3 of the third cleaning unit CP3.
第３洗浄部ＣＰ３では、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と第２洗浄部ＣＰ２において湯浴みをした鶏卵が、本洗浄として、第３波板ＴＢ３を流れる湯ＹＬによって洗浄される。図１７に示すように、鶏卵ＥＧは、搬送用パイプＰＰによって第３波板ＴＢ３の樋を、湯ＹＬの流れ（矢印ＹＶ）とは反対方向に搬送される（矢印ＴＶ参照）。なお、図１７では、図の簡略化のために、一つの樋を搬送される鶏卵ＥＧを示す。 In the third cleaning section CP3, the chicken eggs bathed in the first cleaning section CP1 and the second cleaning section CP2 are cleaned by hot water YL flowing through the third corrugated plate TB3 as the main cleaning. As shown in FIG. 17, the egg EG is transported by the transport pipe PP in the direction opposite to the flow of hot water YL (arrow YV) (see arrow TV). In addition, in FIG. 17, the egg EG which conveys one cage | basket is shown for the simplification of a figure.
このとき、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３では、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と第２洗浄部ＣＰ２において十分に湯浴みをした鶏卵が搬送されてくるため、鶏卵ＥＧに付着している汚れ等が洗浄ブラシＳＣＢによってさらに除去しやすくなる。しかも、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３の第３波板ＴＢ３には、湯供給部ＹＳから放出される湯が、直接、傾斜の高い側から低い側へ向かって流れてくるため、傾斜の低い側から傾斜の高い側へ向かって鶏卵が搬送されるにしたがい、鶏卵は、清浄度の高い湯によって洗浄されることになる。 At this time, in the third cleaning unit CP3, the eggs that have been sufficiently bathed in the first cleaning unit CP1 and the second cleaning unit CP2 are conveyed, so that dirt or the like adhering to the eggs EG is further removed by the cleaning brush SCB. Easy to remove. Moreover, since the hot water discharged from the hot water supply unit YS flows directly from the high slope side to the low side on the third corrugated plate TB3 of the third cleaning section CP3, the hot water is inclined from the low slope side. As the eggs are transported toward the higher side, the eggs are washed with hot water with high cleanliness.
清浄度の高い湯によって洗浄された鶏卵は、図１１に示すように、乾燥部ＤＰへ搬送される。乾燥部ＤＰには、乾燥した空気を吹き付けるエアー供給部ＡＳが設けられている。洗浄が完了した鶏卵は、エアー供給部ＡＳから吹き出す乾燥した空気によって水切りされる。水切りされた鶏卵は、鶏卵搬出部ＥＯＰから次の工程へ向けて搬出される。こうして、洗浄装置ＥＣＭによる、鶏卵の一連の洗浄処理が完了する。 Eggs washed with hot water having a high cleanliness are transported to the drying section DP, as shown in FIG. The drying unit DP is provided with an air supply unit AS that blows dry air. Eggs that have been cleaned are drained by dry air blown from the air supply unit AS. The drained hen's egg is carried out from the hen's egg carrying-out part EOP toward the next step. In this way, a series of cleaning processing of eggs is completed by the cleaning device ECM.
上述した洗浄装置では、洗浄部ＣＰは多段（多層）構造とされる。これにより、洗浄装置の占有面積を広げることなく、しかも、処理能力を下げることなく、鶏卵を十分に洗浄することができる。このことについて説明する。 In the above-described cleaning apparatus, the cleaning unit CP has a multistage (multilayer) structure. As a result, the eggs can be sufficiently washed without increasing the occupation area of the washing apparatus and without lowering the processing capacity. This will be described.
鶏卵の洗浄効果を高めるために、前洗浄として十分な湯浴みをしようとすると、搬送経路を長く設定して前洗浄を行う（手法Ａ）か、搬送経路を長く設定できない場合には、鶏卵をゆっくり搬送しながら前洗浄を行なう（手法Ｂ）必要がある。ところが、手法Ａでは、搬送経路が長くなることで洗浄装置の占有面積が広がってしまうことになる。また、手法Ｂでは、前洗浄における鶏卵の搬送速度が落ちてしまい、洗浄装置全体として処理能力を下げてしまうことになる。 In order to increase the washing effect of chicken eggs, if you try to bathe enough as pre-cleaning, set the transport path long and perform pre-cleaning (Method A), or if you cannot set the transport path long, slowly It is necessary to perform pre-cleaning while transporting (Method B). However, in the method A, the area occupied by the cleaning device increases due to the length of the transport path. Moreover, in the method B, the egg feeding speed in the pre-cleaning is lowered, and the processing capacity of the entire cleaning device is lowered.
これに対して、上述した洗浄装置ＥＣＭでは、前洗浄部ＰＣＰ（第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２）と本洗浄部ＭＣＰ（第３洗浄部ＣＰ３）とが多段構造とされて、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３は、傾斜の向きが互いに反対の向きになるように傾斜させて、上下方向に配置されている。これにより、洗浄装置の占有面積を広げることなく、鶏卵の搬送経路を長くして鶏卵の湯浴みをする時間を確保することができる。また、鶏卵の搬送経路を長く設定できることで、鶏卵の搬送速度を下げる必要がなく、洗浄装置全体の処理能力を下げることもない。 On the other hand, in the above-described cleaning apparatus ECM, the pre-cleaning section PCP (first cleaning section CP1, second cleaning section CP2) and the main cleaning section MCP (third cleaning section CP3) have a multi-stage structure. The first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3 are arranged in the vertical direction so as to be inclined so that the inclination directions are opposite to each other. Accordingly, it is possible to secure a time for bathing the chicken egg by extending the egg transport path without increasing the occupation area of the cleaning device. In addition, since the chicken egg conveyance path can be set longer, it is not necessary to lower the egg egg conveyance speed, and the processing capacity of the entire cleaning apparatus is not lowered.
また、上述した洗浄装置では、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３は、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３の順に、下から上へ向かって配置されている。これにより、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３へ放出される洗浄液としての湯ＹＬが、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第１洗浄部ＣＰ１の順に、それぞれの波板ＴＢ（第３波板ＴＢ３、第２波板ＴＢ２および第１波板ＴＢ１）の樋を流れ、その樋を流れる湯ＹＬに対して、鶏卵ＥＧは、湯ＹＬを堰き止めるようにしながら搬送されることになる。このため、少しの湯によって鶏卵ＥＧの湯浴み等をすることができ、湯を節約することができる。 Further, in the above-described cleaning apparatus, the first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3 are arranged in order of the first cleaning unit CP1, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the third cleaning unit CP3 from the bottom to the top. It is arranged toward. Thereby, the hot water YL as the cleaning liquid discharged to the third cleaning unit CP3 is in the order of the third cleaning unit CP3, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the first cleaning unit CP1, in the order of the corrugated plates TB (third corrugated plate TB3). The egg EG is transported while damming the hot water YL against the hot water YL flowing through the reeds of the second corrugated plate TB2 and the first corrugated plate TB1). For this reason, it is possible to bathe the chicken eggs EG with a little hot water and save hot water.
さらに、上述した洗浄装置では、搬送用パイプＰＰや板ばねＰＳとしては、既存のものを適用することができ、製造コストの削減にも寄与することができる。 Furthermore, in the above-described cleaning apparatus, existing ones can be applied as the transport pipe PP and the leaf spring PS, which can contribute to a reduction in manufacturing cost.
実施の形態２
前述した洗浄装置では、鶏卵を搬送する搬送機構として、コンベアチェーンに搬送パイプが取り付けられた搬送機構を例に挙げて説明した。実施の形態２では、搬送機構として押しドグを適用した洗浄装置について説明する。図１８および図１９に示すように、洗浄装置ＥＣＭには、コンベアチェーンＣＣに押しドグＰＤが取り付けられている。また、後述するように、折り返し部ＴＰに板ばねは不要とされる。なお、これ以外の構成については、図１等に示す洗浄装置と同一なので、同一部材については同一符号を付しその説明を繰り返さないこととする。
Embodiment 2
In the above-described cleaning apparatus, the transport mechanism in which the transport pipe is attached to the conveyor chain is described as an example of the transport mechanism for transporting the eggs. In the second embodiment, a cleaning apparatus to which a push dog is applied as a transport mechanism will be described. As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, in the cleaning device ECM, a push dog PD is attached to the conveyor chain CC. Further, as will be described later, a leaf spring is not required for the folded portion TP. In addition, since it is the same as that of the washing | cleaning apparatus shown in FIG. 1 etc. about other structures, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same member and the description is not repeated.
次に、その搬送機構について詳しく説明する。図１９に示すように、１対のコンベアチェーンＣＣには、一方のコンベアチェーンＣＣと他方のコンベアチェーンＣＣとの間をチェーンアタッチＣＡを介して繋ぐように、シャフトＳＨが搬送方向に互いに間隔を隔てて取り付けられている。そのシャフトＳＨには６つの押しドグＰＤが装着されている。図１９では、図面の簡略化のために２つの押しドグＰＤを示す。押しドグＰＤは、波板ＴＢの樋に対応するように互いに間隔を隔てられている。シャフトＳＨの断面形状は矩形とされる。 Next, the transport mechanism will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 19, a pair of conveyor chains CC are spaced apart from each other in the transport direction so that one conveyor chain CC and the other conveyor chain CC are connected via a chain attach CA. Attached apart. Six push dogs PD are mounted on the shaft SH. In FIG. 19, two push dogs PD are shown for simplification of the drawing. The push dogs PD are spaced from each other so as to correspond to the wrinkles of the corrugated plate TB. The cross-sectional shape of the shaft SH is a rectangle.
図２０に示すように、押しドグＰＤは、２枚の平板部ＦＰと接続部ＣＪからなり、対向する２枚の平板部ＦＰを繋ぐように接続部ＣＪが設けられている。２枚の平板部ＦＰと接続部ＣＪには、シャフトＳＨの断面形状に対応した矩形の貫通穴ＴＨが形成されている。また、接続部ＣＪには、鶏卵の外形形状に対応した接触部ＡＣＪが形成されている。 As illustrated in FIG. 20, the push dog PD includes two flat plate portions FP and a connection portion CJ, and the connection portion CJ is provided so as to connect two opposing flat plate portions FP. A rectangular through hole TH corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the shaft SH is formed in the two flat plate portions FP and the connection portion CJ. Moreover, the contact part ACJ corresponding to the external shape of a chicken egg is formed in the connection part CJ.
シャフトＳＨには、押しドグＰＤの他に、スペーサＤＰＬとスペーサＤＰＳが装着される。スペーサＤＰＬによって互いに隣り合う、押しドグＰＤと押しドグＰＤとの間隔が保持される。また、スペーサＤＰＳによって、端に位置する押しドグＰＤとチェーンアタッチＣＡとの間隔が保持される。シャフトＳＨおよびコンベアチェーンＣＣへの取り付け構造から、押しドグＰＤは、その長手方向（平板部の延在する方向）を、コンベアチェーンＣＣの搬送方向（あるいは接線方向）とほぼ直交させた状態で移動することになる。 In addition to the push dog PD, a spacer DPL and a spacer DPS are mounted on the shaft SH. The distance between the push dog PD and the push dog PD, which are adjacent to each other, is maintained by the spacer DPL. Further, the distance between the push dog PD positioned at the end and the chain attachment CA is maintained by the spacer DPS. Due to the mounting structure on the shaft SH and the conveyor chain CC, the push dog PD moves in a state where its longitudinal direction (direction in which the flat plate portion extends) is substantially orthogonal to the conveying direction (or tangential direction) of the conveyor chain CC. Will do.
次に、折り返し部について説明する。前述した洗浄装置の折り返し部とは異なり、押しドグＰＤを適用した搬送機構では、折り返し部に、板ばねは不要とされる。図２１および図２２に示すように、折り返し部ＴＰでは、板状ガイド部ＢＧおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧが配置されている。板状ガイド部ＢＧおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧとして、板状ガイド部ＢＧＳおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳと、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＵとが配置されている。 Next, the folded portion will be described. Unlike the above-described folding portion of the cleaning device, in the conveyance mechanism to which the push dog PD is applied, a leaf spring is not required in the folding portion. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, a plate-shaped guide portion BG and a wire-shaped guide portion WG are arranged in the folded portion TP. As the plate-like guide part BG and the wire-like guide part WG, the plate-like guide part BGS and the wire-like guide part WGS, the plate-like guide part BGU, and the wire-like guide part WGU are arranged.
板状ガイド部ＢＧＳは第１波板ＴＢ１の底面部ＢＴと繋がり、針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳは第１波板ＴＢ１の斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている。第１波板ＴＢ１を搬送されてきた鶏卵は、この板状ガイド部ＢＧＳおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳによって支持されることになる。 The plate-shaped guide portion BGS is connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the first corrugated plate TB1, and the wire-shaped guide portion WGS is connected to the slope portion SL of the first corrugated plate TB1. The eggs that have been transported through the first corrugated plate TB1 are supported by the plate-shaped guide portion BGS and the wire-shaped guide portion WGS.
一方、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵは第２波板ＴＢ２の底面部ＢＴと繋がり、針金状ガイド部ＷＧＵは第２波板ＴＢ２の斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている。当初、板状ガイド部ＢＧＳおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳによって支持されている鶏卵は、搬送される途中で、円弧の内側に向かって押しドグＰＤ上をスライド（図２２の矢印ＥＶ参照）して、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧＵによって支持されることになる。 On the other hand, the plate-shaped guide portion BGU is connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the second corrugated plate TB2, and the wire-shaped guide portion WGU is connected to the slope portion SL of the second corrugated plate TB2. Initially, the eggs supported by the plate-shaped guide part BGS and the wire-shaped guide part WGS are pushed on the inside of the arc while sliding on the dog PD while being conveyed (see arrow EV in FIG. 22), It is supported by the plate-shaped guide part BGU and the wire-shaped guide part WGU.
次に、洗浄装置による洗浄動作について説明する。図２３および図１２に示すように、上述した洗浄装置では、実施の形態１において説明した洗浄装置と同様に、鶏卵は、湯供給部ＹＳから供給されて、第３波板ＴＢ３、第２波板ＴＢ２および第１波板ＴＢ１を流れる湯とは反対方向に搬送させながら洗浄される。 Next, the cleaning operation by the cleaning device will be described. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 12, in the above-described cleaning device, the eggs are supplied from the hot water supply unit YS, as in the cleaning device described in the first embodiment, and the third corrugated plate TB3, the second wave Washing is performed while transporting in the direction opposite to the hot water flowing through the plate TB2 and the first corrugated plate TB1.
まず、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１では、前洗浄として、第３波板ＴＢ３と第２波板ＴＢ２を流れてきた湯ＹＬによって鶏卵の湯浴みをする。図２４に示すように、鶏卵ＥＧは、押しドグＰＤによって第１波板ＴＢ１の樋を、湯ＹＬの流れ（矢印ＹＶ）とは反対方向に搬送される（矢印ＴＶ参照）。 First, in the first cleaning section CP1, as a pre-cleaning, the chicken eggs are bathed in hot water YL flowing through the third corrugated plate TB3 and the second corrugated plate TB2. As shown in FIG. 24, the egg EG is conveyed by the push dog PD in the direction opposite to the flow of the hot water YL (arrow YV) through the first corrugated plate TB1 (see arrow TV).
こうして、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１の第１波板ＴＢ１を搬送された鶏卵ＥＧは、図２３および図２５に示すように、折り返し部ＴＰによって、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２の第２波板ＴＢ２へ搬送される。押しドグＰＤ等によって第１波板ＴＢ１を搬送されてきた鶏卵ＥＧは、図２５に示すように、第１波板ＴＢ１の樋の底面部ＢＴと繋がっている板状ガイド部ＢＧＳと、斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳとに支持されて円弧を描きながら上方へ向けて搬送される。 Thus, the egg EG transported through the first corrugated plate TB1 of the first cleaning unit CP1 is transported to the second corrugated plate TB2 of the second cleaning unit CP2 by the folding unit TP, as shown in FIGS. The As shown in FIG. 25, the egg EG that has been transported through the first corrugated plate TB1 by the push dog PD or the like has a plate-like guide portion BGS connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the first corrugated plate TB1, and a slope portion. It is supported by the wire-shaped guide part WGS connected to SL, and is conveyed upward while drawing an arc.
円弧を描くように上方へ搬送されるにしたがい、鶏卵ＥＧは、その重力によって押しドグＰＤ上をスライドして（図２２参照）、第２波板ＴＢ２の樋の底面部ＢＴと繋がっている板状ガイド部ＢＧＵと、斜面部ＳＬと繋がっている針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳとに接触して、板状ガイド部ＢＧＵと針金状ガイド部ＷＧＳとに支持された状態で折り返し部ＴＰを搬送されることになる。折り返し部ＴＰを搬送された鶏卵ＥＧは、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２へ送られる。 As the egg EG is transported upward so as to draw an arc, the egg EG slides on the push dog PD by its gravity (see FIG. 22) and is connected to the bottom surface portion BT of the cage of the second corrugated plate TB2. The folded portion TP is conveyed while being in contact with the plate-shaped guide portion BGU and the wire-shaped guide portion WGS in contact with the wire-shaped guide portion BGU and the wire-shaped guide portion WGS connected to the inclined surface portion SL. become. The egg EG that has been conveyed through the turn-back portion TP is sent to the second cleaning portion CP2.
第２洗浄部ＣＰ２では、前洗浄として、第３波板ＴＢ３を経て第２波板ＴＢ２を流れる湯ＹＬによって鶏卵の湯浴みをする。図２６に示すように、鶏卵ＥＧは、押しドグＰＤによって第２波板ＴＢ２の樋を、湯ＹＬの流れ（矢印ＹＶ）とは反対方向に搬送される（矢印ＴＶ参照）。 In the second cleaning section CP2, as a pre-cleaning, the chicken eggs are bathed in hot water YL flowing through the second corrugated plate TB2 through the third corrugated plate TB3. As shown in FIG. 26, the egg EG is conveyed by the push dog PD in the direction opposite to the flow of the hot water YL (arrow YV) through the second corrugated plate TB2 (see arrow TV).
こうして、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２の第２波板ＴＢ２を搬送された鶏卵ＥＧは、図２３および図２７に示すように、折り返し部ＴＰによって、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と第２洗浄部ＣＰ２とを繋ぐ折り返し部ＴＰと同様にして、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３の第３波板ＴＢ３へ円弧を描きながら搬送される。 Thus, the egg EG transported through the second corrugated plate TB2 of the second cleaning unit CP2 connects the first cleaning unit CP1 and the second cleaning unit CP2 by the turn-back unit TP as shown in FIGS. In the same manner as the folding portion TP, the sheet is conveyed while drawing an arc to the third corrugated plate TB3 of the third cleaning unit CP3.
第３洗浄部ＣＰ３では、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と第２洗浄部ＣＰ２において湯浴みをした鶏卵が、本洗浄として、第３波板ＴＢ３を流れる湯ＹＬによって洗浄される。図２８に示すように、鶏卵ＥＧは、押しドグＰＤによって第３波板ＴＢ３の樋を、湯ＹＬの流れ（矢印ＹＶ）とは反対方向に搬送される（矢印ＴＶ参照）。 In the third cleaning section CP3, the chicken eggs bathed in the first cleaning section CP1 and the second cleaning section CP2 are cleaned by hot water YL flowing through the third corrugated plate TB3 as the main cleaning. As shown in FIG. 28, the egg EG is conveyed by the push dog PD in the direction opposite to the flow of the hot water YL (arrow YV) through the third corrugated plate TB3 (see arrow TV).
本洗浄部ＭＣＰ（第３洗浄部ＣＰ３）において洗浄された鶏卵は、図２３に示すように、乾燥部ＤＰへ搬送される。洗浄が完了した鶏卵は、エアー供給部ＡＳから吹き出す乾燥した空気によって水切りされる。水切りされた鶏卵は、鶏卵搬出部ＥＯＰから次の工程へ向けて搬出される。こうして、洗浄装置ＥＣＭによる、鶏卵の一連の洗浄処理が完了する。 Eggs cleaned in the main cleaning unit MCP (third cleaning unit CP3) are transported to the drying unit DP as shown in FIG. Eggs that have been cleaned are drained by dry air blown from the air supply unit AS. The drained hen's egg is carried out from the hen's egg carrying-out part EOP toward the next step. In this way, a series of cleaning processing of eggs is completed by the cleaning device ECM.
上述した洗浄装置では、前洗浄部ＰＣＰ（第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２）と本洗浄部ＭＣＰ（第３洗浄部ＣＰ３）とが多段構造とされて、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３は、傾斜の向きが互いに反対の向きになるように傾斜させて、上下方向に配置されている。これにより、前述したように、洗浄装置の占有面積を広げることなく、鶏卵の搬送経路を長くして鶏卵の湯浴みをする時間を確保することができる。また、鶏卵の搬送経路を長く設定できることで、鶏卵の搬送速度を下げる必要がなく、洗浄装置全体の処理能力を下げることもない。 In the above-described cleaning apparatus, the pre-cleaning section PCP (first cleaning section CP1, second cleaning section CP2) and the main cleaning section MCP (third cleaning section CP3) have a multi-stage structure, and the first cleaning section CP1, The second cleaning unit CP2 and the third cleaning unit CP3 are arranged in the vertical direction so as to be inclined so that the directions of inclination are opposite to each other. As a result, as described above, it is possible to secure a time for bathing the eggs by elongating the egg transport path without increasing the occupation area of the cleaning device. In addition, since the chicken egg conveyance path can be set longer, it is not necessary to lower the egg egg conveyance speed, and the processing capacity of the entire cleaning apparatus is not lowered.
また、上述した洗浄装置では、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３へ放出される洗浄液としての湯ＹＬが、第３洗浄部ＣＰ３、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第１洗浄部ＣＰ１の順に、それぞれの波板ＴＢ（第３波板ＴＢ３、第２波板ＴＢ２および第３波板ＴＢ３）の樋を流れ、その樋を流れる湯ＹＬに対して、鶏卵ＥＧは、湯ＹＬを堰き止めるようにしながら搬送されることになる。これにより、少しの湯によって鶏卵ＥＧの湯浴み等をすることができ、湯を節約することができる。 Further, in the above-described cleaning apparatus, the hot water YL as the cleaning liquid discharged to the third cleaning unit CP3 is in the order of the third cleaning unit CP3, the second cleaning unit CP2, and the first cleaning unit CP1, in the order of the corrugated plates TB ( The egg EG is transported while damming the hot water YL against the hot water YL flowing through the straw of the third corrugated board TB3, the second corrugated board TB2 and the third corrugated board TB3). Become. Thereby, hot water bathing of the egg EG etc. can be performed with a little hot water, and hot water can be saved.
なお、上述した洗浄装置では、コンベアチェーンＣＣの搬送方向の変極点においては、押しドグＰＤは、押しドグＰＤの長手方向をその搬送方向の接線方向とほぼ直交させた状態で移動することになる。このため、たとえば、図２９に示すように、搬送経路を側方から見て、搬送経路が凹状に変極している箇所では、互いに隣り合う押しドグＰＤの上端部同士が接近して両者の間隔Ｌが縮まってしまい、その押しドグＰＤと押しドグＰＤとの間に位置して搬送される鶏卵が損傷を受けることが想定される。 In the above-described cleaning device, the push dog PD moves in a state where the longitudinal direction of the push dog PD is substantially orthogonal to the tangential direction of the carry direction at the turning point in the carry direction of the conveyor chain CC. . For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 29, when the conveyance path is viewed from the side, the upper ends of the push dogs PD adjacent to each other approach each other when the conveyance path is changed into a concave shape. It is assumed that the interval L is shortened and the eggs transferred between the push dog PD and the push dog PD are damaged.
このため、搬送される鶏卵ＥＧを、互いに隣り合う押しドグＰＤの下端部同士が離れている下方の側へ逃がすように、鶏卵ＥＧを支持する板状ガイド部ＢＧおよび針金状ガイド部ＷＧを、多少下方へ配置させることが望ましい。 For this reason, the plate-like guide part BG and the wire-like guide part WG that support the egg EG are allowed to escape to the lower side where the lower end parts of the adjacent push dogs PD are separated from each other. It is desirable to arrange it somewhat downward.
また、上述した各洗浄装置では、前洗浄部ＰＣＰと本洗浄部ＭＣＰを備えた場合について説明したが、前洗浄部ＰＣＰにおいて鶏卵に十分な湯浴みをして、本洗浄部ＭＣＰにおいて鶏卵の汚れ等を効果的に除去するため、前洗浄部ＰＣＰの長さを本洗浄部ＭＣＰの長さよりも長く設定してもよい。 Further, in each of the above-described cleaning apparatuses, the case where the pre-cleaning unit PCP and the main cleaning unit MCP are provided has been described. However, the chicken eggs are sufficiently bathed in the pre-cleaning unit PCP, and the chicken eggs are contaminated in the main cleaning unit MCP. May be set longer than the length of the main cleaning unit MCP.
さらに、上述した各洗浄装置では、前洗浄部ＰＣＰとして、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１と第２洗浄部ＣＰ２との２つの前洗浄部ＰＣＰを備えた場合について説明したが、前洗浄部ＰＣＰの数（段数）としては、２つに限られず、必要に応じて増減してもよい。たとえ、３つ以上の前洗浄部ＰＣＰを備える場合であっても、上下方向に配置させることで洗浄装置ＥＣＭの占有面積が増えることはない。 Furthermore, in each of the cleaning apparatuses described above, the case where the two pre-cleaning parts PCP of the first cleaning part CP1 and the second cleaning part CP2 are provided as the pre-cleaning part PCP has been described, but the number of pre-cleaning parts PCP ( The number of stages) is not limited to two, and may be increased or decreased as necessary. Even if three or more pre-cleaning parts PCP are provided, the occupation area of the cleaning device ECM is not increased by arranging them in the vertical direction.
また、洗浄部ＣＰにおける、第１洗浄部ＣＰ１、第２洗浄部ＣＰ２および第３洗浄部ＣＰ３のそれぞれの傾斜角度が変えられるように傾斜機構を設けるようにしてもよい。波板ＴＢの傾斜角度を変えることで、洗浄液としての湯の流れる速度を変えて、洗浄のバリエーションを増やすこともできる。 In addition, an inclination mechanism may be provided so that the inclination angles of the first cleaning part CP1, the second cleaning part CP2, and the third cleaning part CP3 in the cleaning part CP can be changed. By changing the inclination angle of the corrugated plate TB, the flow rate of hot water as the cleaning liquid can be changed to increase the variation of cleaning.
さらに、第３洗浄部から流れてくる湯を受ける第２洗浄部における傾斜の高い側では、その部分の傾斜角度を、湯が実質的に流れる第２波板ＴＢ２の傾斜角度よりも大きくしておくことが望ましい。こうすることで、湯を確実に第２波板ＴＢ２の傾斜の低い側に向かって流すことができる。 Further, on the high-inclination side of the second cleaning unit that receives hot water flowing from the third cleaning unit, the inclination angle of that portion is made larger than the inclination angle of the second corrugated plate TB2 through which the hot water substantially flows. It is desirable to keep it. By carrying out like this, hot water can be reliably flowed toward the low inclination side of 2nd corrugated sheet TB2.
また、各実施の形態では、洗浄装置ＥＣＭの折り返し部ＴＰとして、下から上に向かって鶏卵を搬送する場合について説明したが、鶏卵を上から下へ向かって搬送する場合にも適用することができる。この場合、板ばねＰＳを備えた折り返し部ＴＰ（図７等参照）では、上から下に向かって円弧状に搬送される鶏卵を、円弧の内側から外側へ向かって付勢するように板ばねを配置することが望ましい。 Moreover, although each embodiment demonstrated the case where an egg was conveyed from the bottom to the top as the folding | returning part TP of washing | cleaning apparatus ECM, it is applicable also when conveying an egg from the top to the bottom. it can. In this case, in the folded portion TP (see FIG. 7 and the like) provided with the leaf spring PS, the leaf spring is urged so as to urge the eggs that are conveyed in an arc shape from the top to the bottom from the inside to the outside of the arc. It is desirable to arrange.
また、この折り返し部は、洗浄部同士に限られず、上下方向に位置する搬送部を繋ぐ部分として適用することができる。さらに、洗浄の対象としては鶏卵の他に、他の鳥類等の卵や果実等でもよく、農畜産物の洗浄に適用することができる。 Moreover, this folding | returning part is not restricted to washing | cleaning parts, It can apply as a part which connects the conveyance part located in an up-down direction. In addition to chicken eggs, eggs and fruits of other birds and the like may be used as washing targets, and can be applied to washing agricultural and livestock products.
