BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a viscous substance extracting device, and more particularly, to a mayonnaise or ketchup and a viscous substance or viscous fluid similar to these contained in a predetermined bag body by manual operation. The present invention relates to a viscous substance extraction device capable of extracting a predetermined amount from

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When selling viscous foods such as mayonnaise and ketchup on food at a mass retailer, the amount of sales is large and the operation must be performed promptly. As a device for extracting a viscous material (hereinafter, also referred to as a paste-like article) suitable for such mass sales, conventionally,
For example, a container that can be crushed in the lengthwise direction filled with a paste-like article is placed in a cylindrical container, and crushed in the lengthwise direction by a piston-type extruder while restraining lateral buckling, A dispenser for pasty articles in which the articles therein are extruded is described in Japanese Patent No. 2944116 and is known. Further, in order to take out the viscous material in one bag, the bag is stored in a container filled with compressed air by a compressor, and the viscous material is extracted by pressing the bag with air pressure. .

[0003]

However, the paste-like article dispenser described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent No. 2944116 can be used in a container after extraction if the paste-like article-filled container is almost cylindrical in shape. It is economical because the remaining amount of the article is small, but not only the residual amount of the article becomes uneven and large when the container shape is flat bag shape or prismatic shape other than cylinder, but also a constant extraction amount. There is a problem that can not be maintained continuously until the end. In addition, the paste-type article dispenser is a handheld gun-type dispenser, and since the shape of the application container is cylindrical, the filling amount of the article is limited by a certain amount, so that the sales volume at a mass retailer or the like increases. There is a problem in that the frequency of replacement work for empty containers increases and it becomes impossible to keep up with demand.

Further, when the technique using the compressed air is used, not only is the entire apparatus large and costly, but also it is a complaint to use it in a mass retailer or the like where customers generate noise due to power noise. It was one of the causes and was unsuitable. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
To provide a compact viscous substance-extracting device with a bag body that can extract a certain amount of a viscous substance filled in a relatively large-capacity bag body that can meet long-term demands by a manual operation and that is low cost and compact. With the goal.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the bag-like viscous material extracting apparatus of the present invention has a box having a through hole at the bottom and having a volume for accommodating the bag body filled with the viscous material. A body, a pair of rollers capable of moving up and down in the vertical direction while rotating the inner surface of the box, and fixed to both sides of the inner surface of the box in the moving direction of the pair of rollers so as to extend parallel to each other. Two sets of rack gears, two sets of pinion gears that are respectively engaged with the rack gears, and a viscous material supply unit that is attached to a pair of rollers. A backflow prevention valve (check valve) for a thick material, a flexible pipe whose one end is connected to the check valve, and a body portion is pressed by a pressing plate, and another end of the flexible pipe. The second check valve is sequentially connected in series, and With the object-filling bag housed therein, the pair of rollers are lowered from their upper part to the lower part along the two sets of racks by their own weight, and the viscous material-filling bag part is sequentially placed between the pair of rollers. The viscous material is pressure-fed from the filling bag body to the flexible pipe through a check valve by narrowing the pressure, and then the flexible pipe is pressed by activating the pressing plate to flex the flexible pipe. The viscous substance inside is extracted from the discharge opening via the second check valve.

With such a structure, it is possible to continuously and consistently extract the viscous material filled in the large-capacity bag body to the end without generating noise. Further, the frequency of exchanging empty bags is reduced, and work efficiency can be improved. At this time, the extraction amount can be adjusted to a desired amount by determining the size of the pressing plate by detachably fitting the pressing plate to the action point of the lever lever of the manual lever type and using it.

The viscous material-filled bag body 3 is lowered by its own weight along the two sets of racks 5, 5 ,. Check valve 7 from body 3
Via pressure to the flexible pipe 9 and then the flexible pipe 9 is pressed by the operation of the pressing plate 8 to move the viscous substance in the flexible pipe 9 through the second check valve 7a. Then, the liquid is extracted from the discharge opening 7a '.

In the present embodiment, the box body 2 has a shape that can be divided into two parts to the left and right along the dividing line 11, and one piece can be opened and closed by a hinge. Thus, the bag 3 can be easily attached and detached when it is stored in the box 2. In addition, a port member 3'having a shape that can be fitted into the bottom through hole K of the box 2 is fixed to the opening of the bag body 3. Then, the check valves 7, 7a connected to the through hole K
Is a known valve structure in which a fluid (viscous material in the case of the present application) to which a predetermined pressure is applied can flow only in one direction against the elastic force of the spring 7B as shown in FIGS. is there. The flexible pipe 9 arranged to communicate between the check valves 7 and 7a is a tube made of silicon, and the viscous material is non-returned from the bag body 2 by the intermittent pressing operation of the metal or hard tube plastic pressing plate 8. The second check valve 7a is received via the valve 7.
The structure acts as a pump that discharges from the outlet side via the.

At this time, the pressing plate 8 is attached to the action point of the lever rod so that the size can be exchanged so that the pressing amount can be adjusted according to the amount of extraction. Further, it is desirable to use a flexible pipe which is a silicon tube and has a hardness of about 50 to 60 which is generally used for roller pumps and which is easily deformed by a pressing plate.
Further, the material can be freely selected depending on the viscous material, but it is needless to say that the silicone tube is preferable for food. In the present embodiment, the extraction is performed on the outlet side of the second check valve 7a. The viscous material is provided with a shaping means 7a 'capable of adjusting the shape of the viscous material into a cylindrical shape, a polygonal shape, a flat shape or the like.
