Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sprouts root removing device for purifying sprouts by removing roots from harvested sprouts.
- the harvested sprouts have roots, but the roots are slightly colored, making them unpleasant for commercial sprouts.
- Sprouts often degrade from their roots, and it has been desired to remove the roots from harvested sprouts.
- the present invention is intended to remove roots from harvested sprouts to a satisfactory state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device which has been described.
- the present invention has a bottom plate formed with a ridge having a corner portion on an upper surface and extending transversely to a moving direction, for transferring sprouts, and disposed above the bottom plate and having a corner on a lower surface.
- a root stripping member extending across the moving direction while maintaining a predetermined small gap between the bottom plate and the bottom plate, and providing relative movement between the bottom plate and the root stripping member to provide the relative movement.
- a sprouts root removing device configured to remove sprouts roots even between the corners facing the bottom plate and the root removing member.
- the bottom plate may be configured as a conveyor conveyed in one direction, and may have a plurality of plate-shaped ridges attached to the upper surface thereof at intervals.
- the root stripping member may be constituted by a plurality of plate-like bodies spaced from each other.
- the root stripping member may be configured to alternately repeatedly move and stop at a higher speed than the bottom plate in the same direction as the bottom plate.
- the root portion of the sprouts is thin and flexible, and the wet root portion is caused by the surface tension of water on the bottom plate. In a state of being attached.
- the root removing member is given relative movement above the sprouts, so that the sprouts are provided.
- the head part is displaced by the root stripping member, while the root part tends to move together with the bottom plate, so when the bottom plate and the corners facing the root stripping member intersect, the root part is stripped between them It will be. Even in this case, the root portion of the palm is effectively cut off and removed.
- sprouts S are also placed on the bottom plate 1 having the corners 2 on the upper surface and provided with the ridges 5 extending across the transition direction of the bottom plate 1, and are conveyed leftward.
- a stripping member 4 having a corner 3 on the lower surface is moving to the left at a higher speed than the bottom plate 1. Therefore, the sprouts on the bottom plate 1 are sent to the left on the bottom plate 1 by the root removing member 4 having a high moving speed as shown in FIG.
- the root portion of the wet sprouts is attached to the surface of the bottom plate 1 and, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), lags behind the head and stem portions of the sprouts and crosses over the protrusion 5 on the bottom plate 1.
- the corner 2 of the protrusion 5 and the corner 3 of the root stripping member 4 intersect in this state, the root is cut off between the two corners 2 and 3 as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 1 is an overall side view showing a configuration of a sprouts root removing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a structure of a main part in the device shown in FIG. .
- FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing stepwise the principle of cutting a sprouts root in the apparatus of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an apparatus for removing sprouts of sprouts according to the present invention. The embodiment will be described in detail.
- FIG. 1 is an overall view of a sprouts root removing apparatus according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged view showing a bottom plate and a root removing member used in the apparatus of FIG.
- the sprouts sent as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1 are lifted by the unloading conveyor 6 and then divided into two series, each of which has a bottom plate 1 as shown in FIG. Supplied on conveyors 7 and 8 with.
- the conveyors 7 and 8 are substantially the same, and the structure and operation thereof will be described with reference to FIG.
- a plurality of ridges 5 having a corner portion 2 and extending across the transition direction of the bottom plate 1 (extending perpendicular to the paper surface) are attached at predetermined intervals in the moving direction.
- a plurality of root stripping members 4 are arranged at a predetermined interval from the upper surface of the ridge 5 at a predetermined interval in the moving direction.
- the root removing member 4 has a corner 3.
- the transport speed of the bottom plate 1 is, for example, 20 Ommz seconds
- the moving speed of the root stripping member 4 is, for example, 400 mm / sec.
- the thickness of the ridge 5 is 1 mm
- the ridge 5 is arranged so as to have a gap of 1 mm between the upper surface of the ridge 5 and the lower surface of the root stripping member 4.
- the root stripping member 4 is configured to repeatedly move and stop at a speed of 400 mmZ seconds at predetermined time intervals. When the stripping member 4 stops, the sprouts on the bottom plate 1 are prevented from moving together with the bottom plate 1 by the stripping member 4.
- the root stripping member 4 is moved at the speed of 40 O mm
- the root removing member 4 is moved to the left at a speed of 200 mm / sec relative to the bottom plate 1 as shown in FIG.
- the root stripping member 4 When the root stripping member 4 is moved and stopped in this way, the ridge 5 on the bottom plate 1 and the root stripping member 4 intersect, and the root sprouts illustrated in FIG. 3 are stripped. In this way, the sprouts on the bottom plate 1 can be removed at both the left and right corners of the ridges 5 and the root stripping member 4 by moving and stopping the root stripping member 4, which is efficient. Root removal is performed.
- each corner is a right angle of 90 °.
- the root stripping member 4 may be a triangle and the corner may be an acute angle.
- the sprouts picked up by the pick-up conveyer 6 have their roots removed by the two conveyers 7 and 8, but may be three or more or one. Industrial applicability.
- the sprouts root removing apparatus of the present invention has a bottom plate with a ridge on the upper surface and a ridge on the lower surface, and a small gap between the bottom plate and the bottom plate.
- a root removing member is provided, and a relative movement is provided between the bottom plate and the root removing member, so that the root of the sprouts can be removed between both corners.
- seeds can be used without using members having a special complicated configuration.
- the sprouts roots which have been extremely difficult to remove in the past, can be effectively removed without damaging the sprouts.
- the device of the present invention has a simple structure, has a long life, and is easy to maintain and inspect.
