く、この点からも改良が叫ばれていた。However, since the octopus mounting means of the octopus steaming device has a structure having two pairs of octopus-supporting rods, an operator lifts one octopus and one octopus. Since it requires a set that can be opened appropriately and hung so as to straddle the two support rods, the mounting work is troublesome, and the setting must be completed while the chain support rod passes through the predetermined position. Not only that, he has to be skilled at speed. Moreover, since the two support rods have a limited space, the octopus hung here is large to some extent, and unless the grains are evenly arranged, the efficiency is low, and from this point, improvement was called for.

Steam from the steam pipe at the position is steamed. In this case, when the octopus is heated, its legs may be curled, so that the posture is reversed by utilizing the step at a position where the octopus has advanced a predetermined length. Due to this change in the transportation posture, steam that has not been able to pass through will be able to pass inside. It is convenient to perform this reversal movement a plurality of times. That is, the octopus simply needs to be randomly placed on the net conveyor, so the steam is subjected to a predetermined steaming process during this transportation, and the posture is changed several times during the transportation, so that the steam completely reaches the inner surface. Sure steaming is done.

る。FIG. 1 shows an octopus steaming apparatus in which a steam conveyor is arranged in three stages, and 1 is a casing type steam tank having an octopus carry-in inlet 2 at the uppermost end and a carry-out outlet 3 at the lowermost end. , Inside the steam tank 1, sprockets 19 arranged at both ends
A wide (for example, 3 m wide) net conveyor steaming conveyor 7 formed by a pair of running chains 4 hung on a and 19b, a supporting rod 5 that is passed over the opposing pin shafts, and a stretched net 6. , 8 and 9 are sequentially arranged at predetermined intervals in a stacked manner. In this case, the feeding drop point a of the uppermost steaming conveyor 7 is positioned above the base end of the middle steaming conveyor 8 to form the reversing mechanism 10, and the dropping point a of the middle steaming conveyor 8 is the lowest steaming point. The reversing mechanism 10 is formed by being located above the base end of the conveyor 9. However, the uppermost steaming conveyor 7 which is the initial stage of color development has two steaming conveyors 7a and 7b in order to give an inversion operation at an early stage and obtain uniform coloration.
It is a divided configuration. Also at this time, the reversing mechanism 10 is configured so that the dropping point a of the front steam conveyor 7a faces the upper end of the rear end of the rear steam conveyor 7b. Reference numeral 11 designates a suitable number of steam pipes which are horizontally piped respectively above the steaming conveyors 7, 8 and 9 and below the carrier surface of the conveyors and each having a steam outlet 11a of a small diameter. Further, partition plates 12 protruding from the tank wall, which are arranged in a staggered manner as a whole, are laid under the steam conveyors 7, 8 and 9, and the partition plates 1
The partition of 2 forms a zigzag folded tunnel path 13 in the inside of the tank as a whole, and the octopus steaming device 14 is constructed in the above-mentioned overall structure. Reference numeral 15 is a rapid cooling water tank for storing water, which is arranged below the carry-out port 3 which is below the feeding of the lowest steaming conveyor 9.

成しておく。To explain this action, the octopus (raw octopus) T from which slip has been removed in a separate process beforehand is, for example, a net conveyor type guide conveyor 17 arranged in an inclined guide path 16 facing the upper end of the steam tank 1. The steam is sequentially fed upward, and the tip thereof is dropped and supplied to one end of the steam conveyor 7 at the uppermost stage.
In this case, the falling point a of the guide conveyor 17 is also located above the base end of the steaming conveyor 7 to configure the reversing mechanism 10 in the same manner as described above.

なされる。That is, first, the octopus T which has passed through the vapor leakage prevention belt 18 and is placed on the guide conveyor 17 of the inclined guide path 16.
Is a steam tank 1 whose inside temperature is about 90 ° C or higher due to steam.
Is dropped and placed on the uppermost steaming conveyor 7. The octopus T, which is in a rolled state at the time of this drop, undergoes a first inversion A and is transferred to the front of the steam conveyor 7. During this transfer, the octopus T is a steam pipe 11 ejected from above and below the steam conveyor 7.
Will be steamed from the steam. In the steaming process carried into the steam tank 1, the color-developing action of the octopus becomes large in the initial stage, so that only the conveyor path of the uppermost steaming conveyor 7 should be inverted early to make the color uniform. The steam conveyors 7a and 7b are divided into two, and the second reversal B is performed by dropping the end of the steam conveyor 7a (see FIG. 4), and the posture of the octopus T is changed so that the steam can reach the inner surface well. Try to hit. The octopus T transferred to the continuous steaming conveyor 7b is further steam-injected and subjected to a predetermined steaming action.

ホース（図示せず）を別途接続し外部へ導いてもよい。Further, at this time, since the water drops (hot water) generated at the position of the steam conveyor 7 are received by the partition plate 12 laid at the lower part, the water drops directly move to the side of the steam conveyor 8 of the next stage which moves downward. There is no possibility of dropping on T, and spots due to hot water do not occur. The water droplets accumulated on the partition plate 12 may be evaporated by the hot air in the tank, or if necessary, a drain hose (not shown) may be separately connected and guided to the outside.

ない部分にも流れ込ませ蒸される。Thereafter, the octopus T which has reached the end of the steam conveyor 7b drops and is placed on the steam conveyor 8 in the middle stage. At this time, the fall distance c which is the third reverse C is the drop of the second reverse B. Since the distance b and the interval are set differently, the reversal angle is slightly different from the above, and the rolling surface which is further different by that amount becomes the surface to receive steam injection, so that the steam does not flow into the part where it reaches. Steamed.

し作業がなされる。Further, the dropping of the octopus T from the end of the middle-stage steam conveyor 8 is also reversed (fourth reversal D) in the same manner as described above, and the posture is changed. That is, since the plurality of steam conveyors 7, 8 and 9 as a whole move through a plurality of rotary movements during a long-time transfer through the long and long tunnel-folding tunnel path 13, like conventional support pin hooks. Even if the legs are not opened, the steam will surely reach the inside and the steaming work will be performed reliably.

Divided structure to form steps and lower part of each steam conveyor
The partition plates are laid alternately to form a zigzag folded tunnel path.
Since it is formed, the octopus is simply a net conveyor type steaming container.
The octopus does not need to be a large-sized octopus just to be placed on the bayer, and unlike the conventional steaming process, the time and effort required to set one and one on the support rod are eliminated, allowing efficient steaming and mass production. It is the optimum device for Especially, in this case, the upper part of the tank is the entrance
The octopus on the conveyor side and the hot steam that stagnates immediately
Period), so the color development effect (red) of the octopus
The product value has also increased, and at this time the octopus rolls at the step and is transported.
Steam even octopus rolled up during the sliding process to change posture
The steam surely spreads inside even if the temperature does not reach. Moreover, carrying
The conveyor as a whole does not have to be turned over multiple times.
Because of this, the steam will not touch the entire area of the octopus from this point as well.
Uniform steaming is done. In addition, the bottom surface of each conveyor
Do not drop water drops (hot water) on the partition plate and drop it on the lower conveyor.
Therefore, it does not invite hot spots on the surface of the steamed octopus.
Also has a good quality finish. Also, since the conveyor adopts a multi-stage system, the steaming tank is formed compactly and does not take up the installation area. Further, since the present invention mainly uses the net conveyor, it has the effect of being capable of withstanding long-term use without causing failure or damage during operation.
