Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an instant rice container separating device and an instant rice production system equipped with the same, and more particularly to an instant rice container separating device and an instant rice production system equipped with the same that can effectively separate containers with a compact and efficient structure, simplify disassembly and assembly, and facilitate cleaning, thereby reducing production preparation time and eliminating the possibility of foreign objects entering the containers, thereby safely protecting them from contamination. [Background technology]

[0002] Rice is made by adding a certain amount of water to rice and heating it at a temperature of about 100°C for 30 minutes to an hour.

[0003] However, if you store cooked rice without eating it immediately, the moisture in the rice will evaporate, causing the rice to harden and turn yellow, making it inedible.

[0004] It is also known that microorganisms exist on the surface of rice, and while most microorganisms are killed during the cooking process, heat-resistant spores are not completely killed. Therefore, there is no problem if the rice is eaten within a day, but there is a problem if the rice is stored or distributed at room temperature for more than a day. In fact, bento boxes sold packaged with side dishes are supposed to be eaten within seven hours of production.

[0005] To solve the above problems, packaged instant rice that can be stored for a long period of time by reducing the number of microorganisms in the rice and killing heat-resistant spores is available on the market.

[0006] This packaged instant rice becomes delicious just like freshly cooked rice when heated, so it is popular not only when traveling or on business trips, but also among office workers, dual-income couples, the elderly, and other people who find it difficult to cook rice each time.

[0007] The typical instant rice manufacturing process includes a process of putting the instant rice into containers, a sterilization process to sterilize the rice in the containers, a cooking process to heat and cook the rice, a sealing process to put a lid on the container, and post-processing processes such as sterilizing and cooling the containers.

[0008] In this process, the instant rice container feeding process may be performed in the following order: separating and feeding the instant rice containers, detecting the presence or absence of the containers, removing foreign matter from the containers, feeding a fixed amount of washed rice, pressing the washed rice, and discharging the containers.

[0009] When supplying the containers, multiple containers that are stacked high must be separated from the bottom and then fed onto trays on a tray conveyor, which is done by a so-called instant rice container separating device.

[0010] Such a conventional instant rice container separating device has a series of structures in which the containers loaded in the hopper are individually separated by a transfer cam, and then the containers are sucked by a vacuum pad and fed onto a tray of a tray conveyor.

[0011] However, in this conventional technology, due to the characteristics of food processing equipment, it must be disassembled and cleaned at least once a day, and then reassembled for use. The disassembly method is complicated due to the structure, making cleaning difficult, and resulting in problems such as long production preparation times.

[0012] Furthermore, the prior art has a problem in that it is vulnerable to contamination, such as foreign matter flowing into the container due to wear of the transfer cam made of MC nylon or the like. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0030] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail by describing preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals in the various drawings indicate the same elements.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1 of these drawings, the instant rice production system according to this embodiment includes a system main body 40, a tray conveyor 30 movably connected to the system main body 40, a tray 10 that is placed on the tray conveyor 30 and moves along the tray conveyor 30 and on which containers 20, i.e., instant rice containers 20, are placed, an instant rice container loading section 1 into which the instant rice containers 20 are loaded, a steam pressure sterilizer 60 that pressure sterilizes the containers 20 filled with rice grains using steam, and a rice cooker 70 that cooks rice.

[0033] Naturally, components of the instant rice production system according to this embodiment also include a sealing device 81 that is provided downstream of the rice cooking device 70 and that puts a lid (not shown) on the container 20, a processing device 82 that sterilizes and cools the container 20, and a packaging device 83 that packages the container 20.

[0034] The instant rice container feeding unit 1 is composed of a combination of devices that perform various processes. That is, in this embodiment, the instant rice container feeding unit 1 includes an instant rice container separation device 100 according to this embodiment that separates and feeds stacked instant rice containers 20, a container presence detection device 2 that detects whether a container 20 has been fed to the process line, a container foreign matter removal device 3 that removes foreign matter from the container 20, a washed rice quantitative feeder 4 that feeds a fixed amount of washed rice (washed rice) into the container 20, a washed rice pressing device 5 that presses the supplied fixed amount of washed rice, and a container discharge device 6 that discharges the containers 20 after the fixed amount of washed rice has been fed and the pressing process has been completed.

[0035] To enable these devices to perform continuous automatic processes, the system main body 40 of the instant rice production system according to this embodiment is equipped with the tray conveyor 30 described above, a motor device for driving it, and the like.

[0036] 1 is a highly schematic diagram of the instant rice production system according to this embodiment, and shows, as an example, a system employing one steam pressure sterilizer 60. However, two or more steam pressure sterilizers 60 may be provided. The provision of multiple steam pressure sterilizers 60 has the advantage of enabling the sterilization process to be carried out efficiently and quickly.

[0037] Naturally, in consideration of the long time required for the rice cooking device 70, a plurality of other devices including the rice cooking device 70 may be used. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings.

[0038] Therefore, the processes of container separation and supply, in which the instant rice container feeding unit 1 separates and supplies the instant rice containers, container presence detection process, container foreign matter removal process, washed rice fixed amount supply process, washed rice pressing process, and container discharge process are carried out in this order, after which the containers 20 are pressure sterilized with steam by the steam pressure sterilization device 60, and then the rice is cooked by the rice cooking device 70. Thereafter, the containers 20 are covered, then sterilized and cooled, packaged, and shipped as a product.

[0039] Among these steps, the instant rice container charging step is performed by the instant rice container charging unit 1, and the instant rice container charging unit 1 is equipped with an instant rice container separation device 100 according to this embodiment.

[0040] Of course, conventionally, devices have been used to separate and supply containers 20, but the conventional technology uses a transfer cam (not shown), which inevitably makes the structure complicated, making disassembly complicated and cleaning difficult, which inevitably results in a long production preparation time.

[0041] Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to solve the above problem, an instant rice container separating device 100 having an efficient and compact structure, which will be described later, is proposed.

[0042] The instant rice container separating device 100 of this embodiment has a compact and efficient structure that allows for effective separation of the containers 20, simplifies disassembly and assembly, and facilitates cleaning, thereby reducing production preparation time and eliminating the possibility of foreign matter entering the containers 20, thereby safely protecting them from contamination.

[0043] The instant rice container separating device 100 according to this embodiment, which exhibits such effects, includes a device main body 110, and the following components are mounted at respective positions on the device main body 110.

[0044] The device body 110 is a structure that forms the exterior of the instant rice container separating device 100 according to this embodiment. The device body 110 includes a frame structure 111 and a cover housing 112.

[0045] The frame structure 111 is fabricated by welding or bolting a metal frame and supports other components except the frame structure 111. In addition, the cover housing 112 covers the lower area of the container supply master 120. Therefore, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, when the cover housing 112 is removed, the device components, such as the integrated container separator plate 130 and separator plate front-rear drive unit 140, are revealed.

In this embodiment, the container supply master 120 has seven openings. Each opening is loaded with a plurality of instant rice containers 20 stacked vertically, with seven stacked containers 20 arranged side by side. Therefore, when the instant rice container separating apparatus 100 of this embodiment operates, seven containers 20 are separated and supplied to the tray 10 at a time.

[0047] Naturally, employing a seven-port container supply master 120 is advantageous for improving productivity. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the container supply master 120 may have six or fewer ports, or eight or more ports.

[0048] Meanwhile, the instant rice container separation device 100 according to the present embodiment is provided with an integrated container separation plate 130, a separation plate front-rear driving unit 140, and a container suction unit 160 as means for separating the containers 20. As will be described later, the separation plate front-rear driving unit 140 and the container suction unit 160 are controlled by an apparatus controller 190 through an organic mechanism.

[0049] The integrated container separator plate 130 is located in the lower region of the container supply master 120 and serves to simultaneously separate the lowest container 20 located to the side from the containers 20 stacked above it. Unlike the conventional individual separation method, the integrated container separator plate 130 separates seven containers 20 at a time. This results in a compact structure and improved productivity.

[0050] In particular, in this embodiment, the integrated container separator plate 130 is made of aluminum.

Therefore, when the separation front-rear cylinder 142 is driven, the integrated container separation plate 130 moves forward and backward due to the action of the connecting unit 143.

[0058] In this embodiment, the periphery of the integrated container separator 130 is alternation A separator plate 151 is further provided. alternation The separating plate 151 is The integral container separation plate 130 is provided at the same height. R, alternation It is used as a means for alternation The structure of the container separator 151 is the same as that of the integrated container separator 130 .

[0059] Also, alternation To be able to change the separating plate 151 automatically, For replacement An air cylinder 153 is provided. For replacement The air cylinder 153 is alternation This is a means for driving the separating plate 151.

[0060] The container suction unit 160 is provided in the lower region of the integrated container separation plate 130 and serves to suction the lowest container 20 to be separated. The integrated container separation plate 130 and the container suction unit 160 interact with each other, allowing the container 20 to be separated smoothly.

[0061] The container suction unit 160 has a plurality of container suction pads 161 that are arranged on the bottom surface of the container 20 and suction-hold the plurality of container suction pads 161 together. Ascending and descending Drivable Lifting Slider 162 and Lifting Below slider 162 LiftingA fixed support base 163 is disposed apart from the slider 162 and fixed to the frame structure 111 of the device body 110.

In addition, a bolt connection structure 167 is connected to the fixed support base 163 for firmly bolting the fixed support base 163 to the frame structure 111 of the device body 110.

[0063] Meanwhile, the instant rice container separating device 100 according to this embodiment further includes a device controller 190 for controlling the device.

[0064] The device controller 190 controls the operation of the separation plate front-rear driving unit 140 and the container suction unit 160 so that the bottom container 20 is separated from the stacked containers 20 .

[0065] The device controller 190 that fulfills this role includes a central processing unit (CPU) 191 , a memory (MEMORY) 192 , and a support circuit (SUPPORT CIRCUIT) 193 .
