Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention is used to expose the noodle strips to a predetermined atmosphere during the noodle making process, such as in a noodle maturing machine or a cooling box. It relates to a mechanism for inserting and removing the device without touching it.

"Prior art" The process of exposing to the above-mentioned predetermined atmosphere was
As described in No. 4862 "Noodle strip ripening device", an endless chain with four fixed shafts is placed inside the ripening chamber, and a suspension rod that moves along the transition surface of a large number of endless chains at predetermined intervals is used. The introduced noodle strips are successively suspended in a ∩ shape. In this case, when inserting the noodle strip, the tip of the noodle strip is placed in a predetermined suspended position, and especially when removing the noodle strip, the noodle strip is grabbed by hand and pulled up to be sent to the next step.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, as mentioned above, it is extremely unsanitary to touch the noodles when inserting or removing the noodle strips.

``Means for solving problems'' and ``effects'' The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its gist is that the tip of the inserted noodle strip is moved using a free roller. is automatically convoluted, the convolved tip passes through various gaps, and at the final gap, only this free roller leaves the convolution, and this free roller is recovered.

Furthermore, the tip of the noodle strip after the free roller is unfolded is automatically taken out from the take-out port, and by adding such a mechanism, both insertion and take-out can be easily done. The point is that the noodle belt can be transferred without touching the noodles at all.

"Example" Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Figure 1 is a schematic explanatory diagram of the insertion and extraction mechanism of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 are illustrations of the insertion and extraction mechanism of the present invention, and Figure 5
7 to 7 are explanatory views of the present invention.

First, the noodle strip α is inserted into a ripening machine or a cooling machine box with it hanging down from the insertion opening 15, passes through the inner wall of the guide 4 provided directly below it, and when it hangs down to the position shown in FIG. 2, an electric signal ( (not shown) or manually, the free roller 3 is moved along the surface of the guide 4 in the direction of the arrow. This guide 4 is fixed horizontally, and its inner wall is set slightly larger than the width of the noodle strip to be inserted, and both ends of the free roller 3 are supported by this guide 4.

As mentioned above, when the free roller 3 moves in the direction of the arrow, as shown in FIG. 3, the free roller 3 moves further while pressing the hanging noodle strip in the direction of the arrow, as shown in FIG. As shown in , the free roller 3 folds the noodle strip α with a slight surplus terminal 12 left at the tip of the hanging noodle strip, and as the transition progresses further, the free roller 3 folds the noodle strip α in this folded state. is the suspension rod 5c from the end of the guide 4.
−5d, and the surplus terminal 12
The suspension rods 5c and 5b are bridged and set so as to hang slightly from the suspension rod 5b as shown in FIG. The upper part of the bridge between 5b is further double-bridged, and the suspension bar 5b is suspended downward from the suspension bar 5b, and then suspended in a ∩ shape by the suspension bar 5a that moves on, and thereafter, the suspension is successively suspended. This process is also done automatically without any manual intervention. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned folded free roller 3 approaches the vertically provided free roller lifting side chain 6 as shown in FIG. The side chain 6 is rotated, and the part between it and the guide 7, which is set at a predetermined distance in parallel along this upward transition surface, is raised.

Here, the predetermined interval is an interval that is slightly larger than the entire diameter of the free roller 3 folded into the noodle strip α.

As mentioned above, the convolution terminal part that has been raised in the vertical interval is connected to the free roller raising side chain 6.
parallel to the horizontal transition surface of the conveyor belt 8 which is provided horizontally by sharing the upper sprocket 6A of the
Shifting the gap formed by the horizontal transition surface of the horizontal free roller side belt 9 having a predetermined gap in the direction of the arrow, and at the end of the gap, along the outer peripheral surface of the pulley 10 of the conveyor belt 8, A free roller 3 that is folded up at the entrance of the guide 11 and the pulley 10 having a predetermined interval
The free roller 3 is unfolded by its own weight, slides independently along the guide 11, and is stopped by a stopper 13 provided at the bottom of the tip of the guide, where the free roller 3 is recovered and moved to the guide 4 directly below the insertion opening. will be returned to. In addition, in FIGS. 6 and 7, the folded surplus portion 12 of the noodle strip α that has been unfolded by the free roller 3 is stretched by its own weight on the same plane as the noodle strip α, and the unfolded noodle The band α hangs straight down as shown in FIG. 7 and is taken out from the outlet 16. In this way, when the noodle strip α is taken out, it is also done without touching it.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained in detail above, when using the proposed mechanism, there is no need to touch the noodle strips when inserting and removing them, resulting in an extremely hygienic effect.
