Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention provides, for example, "F udon" or "Lf soba noodles"
Made in class I! ! Concerning improvements to equipment.

[Prior art] Conventionally, in this type of noodle making device, for example,
A device having a configuration as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 163-25754 is known.

In such a conventional noodle-making apparatus, as roughly illustrated in FIG. By stirring and mixing with water and kneading, a crumbly noodle dough is produced.

Next, this crumbled noodle dough is fed between a pair of rolling rollers d and d placed in the mixer c1; section A, and rolled, and then scraped off with scrapers Q and e provided on the downstream side thereof. This noodle strip is then fed between a pair of cutting blade rollers f and f to cut it into noodle strips, which are then dropped onto a conveyor g to be sent out in single serving units. I'm sleeping.

In this way, the rolling mechanism that rolls the crumbled noodle dough to form noodle strips has a pair of rolling rollers d and d arranged in multiple stages, and these are fixedly supported by a support frame. It is designed to form noodle strips of a predetermined thickness by rolling the dough in stages, and is particularly useful when supplying crumbled noodle dough between the uppermost rolling rollers d and d. teeth,
This is done by punching with a punch.

To adjust the gap between the rolled parts of each rolling roller pair d, d, both support shafts of one rolling roller d in the pair are made movable in a direction away from the other rolling roller d, and compression springs j
, j always points in the away direction, and J! J! A constant gap is always maintained by the 1-jil movement of the feed screws k and k, which are integrated with the X adjustment dial.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the conventional noodle-making device with two parts,
In particular, the mixer C constituting the mixing means is placed in a horizontal state on an intermediate plate α for supporting the mixer disposed above the pair of rolling rollers d and d, which are the rolling means, as shown in FIG. Since the apparatus is attached by butterfly bolts m or the like, the overall height of the main body of the apparatus is inevitably high, making it difficult to supply flour to the flour storage compartment a installed at the top.

Furthermore, this increases the length of the joint between the mixer C and the pair of rolling rollers d, d, making it easy for the noodle dough to become clogged.

Furthermore, since an intermediate plate for placing the mixer C is disposed above the rolling roller pair d, d, the upper part of the rolling roller pair d, d cannot be cleaned, which is unsanitary.

On the other hand, such a mixer C, as shown in FIG.
Cylindrical case c with a flour supply port C8 at the top of one side
The rotating shaft C3 is passed through Kawaden Shiraha in the axial direction within the 2, and a plurality of stirring blades C4 are welded to the periphery of the rotating shaft C1, and the stirring blades C4 are adjacent to the supply port C□. Although the corresponding spiral part c5 is configured as an IE person, especially when a plurality of stirring side microphones 4 are provided around the circumference of the rotating shaft c3, stirring blades c are attached to the rotating shaft c3.
At present, after welding the stirring blade C4, the outer periphery of the stirring blade C4 is cut, which requires time and skill.

Moreover, since the number of stirring blades C4 is large, the rotating shaft C3 is warped by welding heat, which not only tends to cause quality defects, but also causes the welded part at the base of each stirring blade C4 to become uneven. Because noodle dough tends to stick to and remain on uneven parts, there have been problems such as corrosion and rust in those parts due to remaining noodle scraps. [Objective of the Invention] Flour storage installed at the top 1
