PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vegetable preparation device reducing a used amount of compressed-air, and enabling sufficiently obtaining a removal effect of unnecessary leaves and dirt.SOLUTION: A vegetable preparation device 1 removes unnecessary leaves and dirt adhering to a plant root of leaf vegetables 2 by spraying compressed-air thereto. A pair of ejection nozzles 8 and 8 vertically opposing are arranged, and the ejection nozzle 8 has a cylindrical external cylinder 11, and a cylindrical internal cylinder 12 arranged coaxially with the external cylinder 11 inside the external cylinder 11 supplied with compressed-air in the inside, and rotating in the external cylinder 11. The external cylinder 11 is formed with ejection ports 21 penetrating a side wall, and the internal cylinder 12 is provided with compressed-air passage ports 22 in the nearly same arrangement as the ejection ports 21, penetrating the side wall, on one place or a plurality of places in the rotation direction. A sealing material (O-ring 23) blocking a gap between itself and the external cylinder 11 is provided around each of the compressed-air passage ports 22.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】圧縮空気の使用量を低減し、且つ不要な葉や汚れ等の除去効果が十分に得られる野菜調製装置を提供する。【解決手段】葉菜類2の株元に付いている不要な葉や汚れを、圧縮空気を吹き付けて除去する野菜調製装置1であって、上下に対向して一対の噴射ノズル8、8が配置され、噴射ノズル8は、円筒形の外筒11と、外筒11の内部に外筒11と同軸に配置され、内部に圧縮空気が供給され、外筒11内で回転する円筒形の内筒12とを有し、外筒11には、側壁を貫通する噴射口21が形成され、内筒12には、噴射口21と略同じ配置の圧縮空気通過口22が、側壁を貫通して1箇所または回転方向に複数箇所設けられるとともに、圧縮空気通過口22の周囲に、外筒11との隙間を塞ぐシール材(Oリング23)が設けられている。【選択図】図2
