PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small and inexpensively produceable vegetable dehydrator capable of successively carrying out dehydration treatment so as not to damage cut vegetables.SOLUTION: The vegetable dehydrator is constituted as follows. A rotating body 10 supported by a fixed shaft 8 stood on a stand 7 is installed so as to be rotated freely by a first motor 17. A hopper 13 for feeding the cut vegetables is arranged at the center of the rotating body 10, and screw conveyors 21 are parallelly arranged in a cylinder for dehydration so as to neighbor to the hopper. The screw conveyors 21 are installed so as to be freely rotatable by meshing planetary gears 23 installed in the screw conveyors 21 with a sun gear 25 installed in the fixed shaft 8 so as to be freely rotatable, and rotating the sun gear 25 by a second motor 28. The vegetables feeded in a state of operating the first motor 17 and the second motor 28 is subjected to the dehydration treatment by being introduced from the lower part of the hopper 13 to the revolving and rotating screw conveyors 21 sides while being lifted upward by the conveyors 21.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】カット野菜を傷めないように連続して脱水処理を施すことができ、小型で安価に製造可能な野菜脱水機を提供すること。【解決手段】台座7に立設した固定軸8により支持される回転体10を第1モータ17により回転自在に設け、回転体10には、カット野菜を投入するホッパー13を中心に配置すると共に当該ホッパーに隣接して脱水用筒体内にスクリューコンベア21を並設し、スクリューコンベア21に設けた遊星歯車23を固定軸8に回転自由に設けた太陽歯車25に噛合させ、太陽歯車25を第2モータ28によって回転させることによりスクリューコンベア21を回転自在に設け、第1モータ17及び第2モータ28を作動させた状態にて投入される野菜が、ホッパー13の下部から公転及び自転するスクリューコンベア21側に導かれてから同コンベア21により上方へ持ち上げられつつ脱水処理を施される。【選択図】図2
