Description

Container holder

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind ofly should implement sterilization processing to the container of putting into food, carry out steam heated and carry out that vacuum drying sterilization groove keeps and the container holder of folding and unfolding container.

Background technology

In the past, put into the container of food and made, and, after shaping, will take the whole bag of tricks to carry out sterilization processing for consideration from food hygiene by various manufacturing process.

One of them has the method for container being carried out sterilization by steam heating.As shown in Figure 9, container C after being shaped is remained in the container holder 50, and with its folding and unfolding in the sterilization groove, in this sterilization groove, charge into steam, making it to become high-temperature high-pressure state comes container is implemented sterilization processing, and by be evacuated in the sterilization groove (vacuumizing), make the water evaporates of on container, being stained with and carry out.

Said vesse retainer 50, the supporter 51 with support vessels C (being a plurality of container C in Fig. 9).Above-mentioned supporter 51 with the state of dispensing containers C, constitute and make steam can touch this container C substantially all sidedly, thereby is realized this container C failure-free sterilization.In addition, as supporter 51, though various forms are arranged, but supporter shown in Figure 9 51, constitute by a pair of barred body 51a, 51b, when with accumbency state configuration container C, supporting container C with a contact condition by a pair of barred body 51a, 51b with predetermined distance and row arrangement.

And, this container holder 50, in order once to carry out sterilization to a plurality of container C, with the state folding and unfolding that constitutes container holder 50 that can overlapping same formation in the sterilization groove.Therefore, with a plurality of

container holders

50,50 ... after making overlap condition, supporter 51 just can sequentially be piled up with container C.

But,, can condense into water (condensate water) at the end face of sterilization groove, the steam that on overlapping container holder 50 (supporter 51) etc., adheres to sometimes when when the sterilization groove charges into steam.So, in the sterilization groove, because container C only is configured on the supporter 51 of container holder 50, condensate water will drop on the container C, even the sterilization groove is evacuated, the water that adheres on container C (condensate water) also can not carry out drying effectively at short notice and become problem.

In addition, if become such state that condensate water is evaporated fully, then can from the sterilization groove, take out with the state of the water that on container C, adheres to.Like this, if adhering to water on container C, then easy particle-bound bacteria becomes problem though carried out sterilization processing not use especially.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, the present invention is in view of as above actual conditions, even its objective is that providing a kind of condenses into water and fall at sterilization groove inner vapor, its condensate water can not carried out the container holder of sterilization attached on the container reliably yet to container.

Container holder of the present invention, be to have the supporter of the container that supports folding and unfolding food and carried out sterilization, carry out the container holder in steam heating and the vacuum drying sterilization groove by the container of folding and unfolding on this supporter of reply, it is characterized in that: have with contactless state cover the container be disposed on the supporter at least towards the cover of the part of top, this cover, the face of itself and container subtend, form front end to the border of this face of division and have a down dip, the guide surface that the condensate water that will adhere to formation guides to described border.In addition, the part of the so-called here upper side towards container, and do not mean that the meaning towards the part of the top of container of common state, but mean to be configured in the state on the supporter, the part towards the top.In addition, what is called is towards the part of the side of container, it is not the meaning towards the part of the side of container of common state, but mean to be configured in state on the supporter towards the part of side, such as, under the situation on the supporter, the part towards the top of container is the limit wall in the container support that bottom tube-like will be arranged with the accumbency state, and the part towards the side of container is any one of Bian Bi, the end, open end.

According to the container holder of above-mentioned formation, the effect below desirable the getting.That is, dispensing containers and with the state of this container holder folding and unfolding to the sterilization groove on supporter when charging into steam in the sterilization groove, can be full of steam in the sterilization groove, become the state that has steam between cover and container.Then,, also can quilt cover catch the steam (condensate water) of this liquefaction, can prevent that it is attached on the container on the supporter even condense and liquefy and fall attached to the steam at top of sterilization groove etc.In addition, though also can condensingly liquefy attached to the steam on container and the cover, but above-mentioned cover, since with the face of container subtend along with to the border row of this face of division and then form front end and have a down dip to constitute guide surface, therefore, front end by this guide surface has a down dip, and will be directed into the border (outer rim) of the non-existent guide surface of lower side container attached to the condensate water on the guide surface.

And, even the condensate water of guiding falls,, therefore can prevent that this condensate water is attached on the container because its condensate water is not exist the zone of container to fall.So, become attached to liquefy a spot of condensate water of forming of the steam on this container and be attached to state on the container, therefore by vacuum desiccation to the sterilization groove, can make attached to the condensate water all dry on the container, and can from the sterilization groove, take out container with desirable state from the angle of food hygiene.

And, mode as container holder of the present invention, preferred described cover, by with supporter on the plural at least cover member that disposes of the mode of container subtend constitute, and, described guide surface, form intermittently by face with the side who respectively covers member of described container subtend, and, be arranged at the opposing party's the face of upper end of the cover member of canting under the front end, one side's of the bottom that has a down dip for the front end of the cover member of side adjacency up face has predetermined distance and subtend setting.

Like this, just formed the gap between each cover member, when carrying out steam heating, steam can flow between cover and the container by the gap between each cover member at short notice effectively, just can carry out pasteurization to container at short notice.At this moment, though on a side the face of each cover member, adhered to condensate water, but, attached to the condensate water on a side's of upper side cover member the face (constituting the part zone of guide surface), meeting is caught by the opposing party's of the cover member of canting under the front end face, and, even constitute cover with a plurality of cover member segments ground, also can prevent fully the condensate water of adhering on the guide surface attached to container on.

On the other hand, when carrying out vacuum desiccation, the moisture between cover and container can be discharged by the gap between each cover member, can be effectively to drying containers.

And, an optimal way as this situation, described cover member, by the first cover member and the second cover member and constituting, wherein, the first cover member, have with the container on contactless state and the supporter towards the part of top relative to top cover portion, and a vertical end that is located at this top cover portion on and with contactless state and described container towards a side's of side part relatively to side cover portion; The second cover member, the quadrate part towards the side divides the opposing party's of opposition side part subtend configuration with contactless state and described container; Described top cover portion, the face of itself and container subtend, at least at one end side forms front end and has a down dip; The described second cover member, its upper end are positioned at than the other end of top cover portion by a distolateral position, and for a side's of the top cover portion of container subtend face, have the setting of predetermined distance ground; Described guide surface constitutes intermittently with the first cover member and second face that covers a side of member with the container subtend.

Like this, when a side's of top cover portion face (part zone of guide surface) at one end side form under the situation that front end has a down dip, attached to the condensate water on this face, be directed to side cover portion because of the front end of this face has a down dip, then, guiding along a side of side cover portion towards the below.On the other hand, one side's of top cover portion face (part zone of guide surface) is another distolateral forming under the situation that front end has a down dip, attached to the condensate water on this face, because of having a down dip, the front end of this face is directed into that another is distolateral, then, fall from the other end of top cover portion, but, prevented that its condensate water is attached on the container owing to there is the second cover member.

In addition, attached to the condensate water on a side's of the second cover member the face (guide surface an a part of zone), be directed into lower side (sagging or flow into) along this face.And, even a plurality of cover members are not set,, as mentioned above, when steam heating, can flow into steam effectively by the gap, and when vacuum desiccation, can discharge moisture effectively owing between the first cover member and the second cover member, formed the gap.

In this case, a side's of preferred above-mentioned top cover portion face is constituted and is formed to the two ends front end crustal inclination that has a down dip by the warpage face.Like this, attached to the condensate water of top cover portion, flow in the two ends of cover portion upward, can effectively the border of condensate water to guide surface be guided.That is, when by the container of support body supports when very big, because the area of a side's of upper lid portion face is bigger, so by dividing a both direction guiding condensate water, with specific efficiency is higher mutually to a Direction guide condensate water.

And above-mentioned cover member preferably is made of sheet material.Like this, because the opposing party's of cover member face becomes the corresponding shape of face with a side who constitutes guide surface, therefore, have a down dip by the front end of the opposing party's face and the condensate water forward end downdip direction guiding of falling on the cover just can be able to be prevented that condensate water is trapped on the cover.

In this case, preferred above-mentioned sheet material is the stainless steel sheet through overpickling.After like this stainless steel sheet being carried out pickling,, will improve wetting ability, just can prevent the whereabouts of condensate water before by the guide surface channeling conduct reliably the condensate water of adhering to because the surface becomes coarse.

(invention effect)

As mentioned above, according to container holder of the present invention, even steam becomes condensate water and falls in the sterilization groove, this condensate water can be attached on the container yet, and can receive the good result of container being carried out reliable sterilization.

Then, to a plurality of container holder H, H ..., also by above-mentioned engineering, as shown in Figure 4, a plurality of container C of folding and unfolding are with each container holder H, H ... folding and unfolding overlappingly is in sterilization groove P (retractable room R).

Then, P charges into steam to the sterilization groove, then, flow into steam to the container C on the supporter 1 with between covering 2 from the part of the opening of this container holder H (between the first cover member 31 and the second cover member 32 or first through hole 200, second through hole 214, do not have the bottom of covering this container holder H of 3 etc.).Then,, place specific time, just can kill attached to the various bacteriums on the container C with this state.

After in sterilization groove P, charging into steam in this wise, steam attached to the top of sterilization groove P becomes condensate water, drops on the container holder H of the superiors, but because container holder H is provided with cover 3, and, can prevent from container C is adhered to condensate water because this covers 3 existence.In addition, the cover 3 of present embodiment, owing to constitute with sheet material, so become the opposing party's face and a side's who constitutes guide surface 30 the cooresponding form of face, fall the condensate water on the cover 3, according to the inclination (front end has a down dip) of cover 3 (first 310a of top cover portion, second 310b of top cover portion), will flow to the two ends of top cover portion 310.Then, flow through the condensate water on the opposing party's the face of first 310a of top cover portion, fall along the opposing party's of side cover portion 311 face and occupy zone in the outer part, zone than the container C of overlooking.On the other hand, flow through the condensate water on the opposing party's the face of second 310b of top cover portion, fall along the opposing party's of the 310c of lappet portion down face.From this following condensate water of falling of the 310c of lappet portion, because the second cover member 32 is arranged, just can be attached on the container C but fall occupying in the zone in the outer part, zone than the container C of overlooking.

And the steam between cover 3 and container C is attached on the outer peripheral face of the guide surface 30 of the first cover member 31, the second cover member 32 and container C and become condensate water.Like this, attached to the condensate water on the container C, peripheral shape diffluence downwards along this container C, and fall by supporter 1 (a pair of barred body 1a, 1b) among the container holder H of below, but in each container holder H, owing to be provided with cover 3,, prevented condensate water adhering to container C because of covering 3 existence so also the condensate water that just falls with end face from sterilization groove P is the same.

Even for cover 3, with the guide surface 30 of container C subtend on the steam that adheres to, liquefy though condense, but top cover portion 310, a first top 310a of cover portion of itself and container C subtend and the side's of second 310b of top cover portion face, owing to form towards downward-sloping dip plane, end edge side front, so the condensate water of adhering on a cover side's of 3 face according to the inclination of guide surface 30, will flow to the border (outward flange) of dividing interrupted this guide surface 30 that forms.Particularly, the condensate water that steam condenses and forms, owing on whole (the whole face of guide surface 30a, the 30b of the first top 310a of cover portion and second 310b of top cover portion) attached to cover 3 guide surface 30, therefore on its condensate water, have very big surface tension effects.Therefore, have a down dip because guide surface 30 forms front end, the face along guide surface 30 flows this condensate water with regard to not falling.

In addition, to the mobile condensate water of end edge (end of top cover portion 310) of first 310a of top cover portion, along the guide surface 30 of side cover portion 311, fall from the lower end of side cover portion 311.On the other hand, flow to the condensate water of the end edge (other end of top cover portion 310) of second 310b of top cover portion, lower end by the guide surface 30 (30a) of the following 310c of lappet portion from the following 310c of lappet portion falls, but owing to there is the second cover member 32, then can be attached on the container C but fall.

Like this, though condensate water from side cover portion 311 and down the lower end of the 310c of lappet portion fall owing to also be provided with cover 3 on each the container holder H below being positioned at, therefore can prevent reliably that condensate water is attached on the container C.

In addition, in case to vacuumizing in the sterilization groove P, just can be between the first cover member 31 and the second cover the member 32 or open bottom of this container holder H, discharge attached to the moisture on the container C, attached to the moisture on the cover 3 etc., make container holder H and container C all dry.

As mentioned above,, can the short time make the container C drying reliably, can prevent from from sterilization groove P, to take out to adhere to redundant moisture owing on container C, do not adhere to the condensate water that falls.So,, then on food hygiene, can carry out desirable sterilization processing if adopt the container holder H of present embodiment.

In addition, because the guide surface 30 of present embodiment is made of the dip plane, can condensate water be directed to the zone that does not have container C reliable and stablely.

In addition, the container holder H of above-mentioned formation, owing to being forms cover 3 with the sheet material Bending Processing, on the two sides of cover 3, can be with condensate water to the channeling conduct of the border of guide surface 30.

In addition, the container holder H of present embodiment, owing to constitute cover 3 by the first cover member 31 and the second cover member 32, and between the first cover member 31 and the second cover member 32, form the gap, therefore, even cover 3 is set on this container holder H, steam is flowed between cover 3 and container C effectively, and, when carrying out vacuum desiccation, the water effective ground that exists between cover 3 and container C can be discharged.

In addition, owing to constitute the cover 3 of the container holder H of present embodiment with the stainless steel sheet of pickling, therefore, the rough surface of the guide surface 30 of guiding condensate water can be brought into play the capillary effect of the condensate water of adhering to greatest extent and prevents that it from falling.

Then, the container holder to embodiments of the invention 2 describes.In addition, because the container holder of present embodiment is compared with the container holder of embodiment 1, the formation difference of cover just is because other formation is the same, so formation is similarly to Example 1 added same title and same symbol and do not described.

The cover of present embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, constitute by cover body 60 above the side's that is relative to the configuration with contactless state on the part above container C face with at the side cover member 61 that on the part of container C side, is relative to the configuration a pair of with contactless state.

Above-mentioned top cover body 60 is by in the mode that has a down dip towards the two ends front end sheet material being converted into first top cover member 600 of salient angle and being made of a pair of second top cover member 601 that the sheet material of the lower side at the both ends that are arranged at this first top cover member 600 constitutes to the opposing party's face lateral bending.Each side cover member 61 constitutes the L word shape with an end bending of sheet material.

Above-mentioned first top cover member 600, container C towards above part on, with a side face (face of bending) subtend setting.Above-mentioned second top cover member 601, a side's at the both ends of above-mentioned relatively first top cover member 600 face, make the opposing party's of an end mask have predetermined distance and relatively to, along with front end is provided with having a down dip to another is distolateral.

Above-mentioned side cover body 61, it is by 2 the opposing party's of an end of bending face, with with respect to the side's of the other end of second top cover member 601 face, have predetermined distance and make it the state of subtend, with being provided with of the container on contactless state and the supporter 1 towards the side subtend.

Thus, with a side's of first top cover member 600 of container C subtend on the supporter 1, second top cover member 601, side cover member 61 face, form intermittently towards the have a down dip guide surface 30 of crustal inclination of lower end, the front end of each side cover member 61.

After constituting cover 6 in this wise, the condensate water that a side's of cover member 600 face (guide surface 30) adheres to above first, because the inclination of guide surface 30, and be directed end edge to first top cover member 600, then, cover the opposing party's of member 601 and side cover member 61 face conduction along second top, and cover the lower end mobile (guiding) of member 61 to the side.And, the condensate water of on the face (guide surface 30) of a side of cover member 601 above in the of second, adhering to, because the inclination of guide surface 30, and, then, cover the opposing party's of member 61 face conduction along the side by end edge guiding towards first top cover member 600, and the lower end mobile (guiding) of covering member 61 to the side, the condensate water of adhering on a side's of side cover 61 face by the posture of this side cover 61, and guides to the lower end.So, even with a side's of the cover 6 of container C subtend face on adhered to condensate water, can prevent fully that also this condensate water from falling on the container C.In addition, between each,, therefore can successfully carry out the inflow of steam and the discharge of moisture at cover member 601 above the cover member 600, second above in the of first and side cover member 61 by this gap owing to form predetermined gap.

In addition, container holder of the present invention does not limit the above embodiments 1 and embodiment 2, in the scope that does not break away from dominant ideas of the present invention, certainly implements various changes.

That is, in the foregoing description 1, the 310c of lappet portion down is set on the first cover member 31, but is not limited thereto, such as, also can only constitute top cover member 310 by first top cover member 310a and second top cover member 310b.In this case, the upper end of the second cover member 32, the interval that has regulation with a side's of top cover portion 310 (second 310b of top cover portion) face (guide surface 30a), and more being positioned at one than the other end of top cover portion 310, the second cover member 32 is set distolaterally is preferred.And the second cover member 32 is not limited to Bending Processing, also can be straight sheet material.

In the foregoing description 1 and embodiment 2, constitute supporter 1 by a pair of barred body 1a, 1b, and a plurality of container C that will overlap are supported by this supporter 1 with the accumbency state, but be not limited thereto, such as, also can constitute supporter 1 and make it to support the mono-container C, and in order to cover the container C on this supporter 1, with hood-shaped one-tenth and the same formation of the foregoing description, or form the bamboo hat shape.Even in this wise with the hood-shaped bamboo hat shape that becomes and since with a side's of container C subtend face be slightly spherical of concavity, and have a down dip towards border (dividing the outer edge line of this face) front end of this face of division, therefore, the condensate water of adhering to can be directed to border side.

In the foregoing description 1 and embodiment 2, use stainless steel sheet to constitute cover 3,6 through overpickling, still, be not limited thereto, certainly, form cover 3,6 such as the material that also can use general steel plate, ester moulding.

In the foregoing description 1 and embodiment 2, constitute container holder H in the overlapping mode of majority, but also be not limited to this.Therefore, first dull and stereotyped 20 and second flat board 21 can have various forms of changes.

Above-mentioned cover 3,6 is not limited to the form of embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, such as, as shown in Figure 6, also a sheet material Bending Processing can be become omit the コ font and form to cover 7.At this moment, carry out bonded assembly between the end of subtend board 7a, the 7b that will form and connect board 7c by cover 7 is made the コ word shape, with the part towards the top of the container C on contactless state and the supporter 1 relative to, and make with contactless state that above-mentioned subtend board 7a, 7b are relative with the part towards the side of container B to dispose this cover 7 to ground.Like this, owing to be provided with cover 7, constituted guide surface 30 with a side's of the cover 7 of container C subtend face.But, connect board 7c, for the end front end towards any one party that connects subtend board 7a, 7c has a down dip, cover 7 should be set certainly.Like this, the same with the foregoing description 1 and embodiment 2, can prevent to fall on the container attached to the condensate water on the guide surface 30.

In addition, as shown in Figure 7, also the sheet material Bending Processing can be become the U word shape and make cover 8, and can cover container C ground on the supporter 1 with contactless state and this cover 8 is become against U word shape ground install, with a side's of container C subtend face formation guide surface 30.Even like this, the formation front end has a down dip also guide surface 30 (can be divided the part on the border of guide surface 30) from central lateral end edge, the same with the situation that constitutes guide surface 30 by the dip plane, can can prevent that condensate water is attached on the container C with the condensate water of adhering to the guiding of above-mentioned border and make it to fall the non-existent zone of container C.

In addition, can constitute cover with the wideer flat board in zone that occupies than the container C of overlooking, with can from top covering container C occupy the region-wide of zone, and so that distolateral making it the bevelled state installs this cover with being positioned at the below to one.Even in this case, constitute guide surface 30 with a side's of container C subtend face, can with attached to the condensate water on the guide surface 30 to an end (border of guide surface 30) side flow (guiding).Like this, also can make condensate water fall the zone that does not have container C, still, the following lappet 310c of portion in the foregoing description is set, the cover portion that perhaps is equivalent to the hang of side cover 311 is preferred.

In the foregoing description 2, cover member 600 in first top is formed bending salient angle shape and a side's of top cover body 60 face (guide surface 30) is constituted interrupted warpage face, will be attached to the two ends guiding of the condensate water on the guide surface 30 to first top cover member 600, finally, this condensate water is directed to each side cover member 61 as the border of dividing guide surface 30,61 lower end, but such as, also can be as shown in Figure 8, by a plurality of cover members 90 that form with flat sheet material, 90 ... constitute top cover body towards the configuration of the part subtend of top with container C, make above-mentioned a plurality of cover member 90,90 ... with a pair of side cover member 91a towards the configuration of the part subtend of side to container C, the side of a side among 91b cover member 91a side and front end is downward-sloping, and sequentially be configured to a side side cover member 91 from this opposing party's side cover member 91b.Even want certainly in this case, so that respectively cover member 90,90 ... the end between have overlap mode at interval and be provided with and respectively cover member 90,90 at above-below direction ...And, this situation, the upper end of one side's side cover member 91a is configured in than the lower end that is positioned at the cover member 90 that descend canting foremost by upper end side, and with the opposing party's side cover the upper end of member 91b, to carry out Bending Processing be preferred for the mode that is positioned at the cover member 90 of the top with covering.

That is, also can by with supporter 1 on the container C subtend mode and the plural at least cover member that disposes constitutes cover, form guide surface 30 intermittently with face with the side who respectively covers member of said vesse C subtend.This situation as long as will be arranged at the opposing party's a side the face of face, the bottom that has a down dip for the front end of the cover member of side adjacency up of upper end of the cover member of canting under the front end, has the subtend setting of predetermined distance ground and gets final product.Like this, when carrying out steam heating, can cover by each steam is successfully flowed between cover and container C, and when steam is carried out drying, can successfully the moisture that is present between cover and the container C be discharged.And certainly the condensate water that will be attached on the guide surface 30 guides on the border, prevents to adhere to condensate water to container C.
