Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Industrial field of application: This invention mainly consists of short raw noodle strings called Shimada noodles, which are folded in half, hung on a hanging rod, and dried by moving them a certain distance in a drying room. The present invention also relates to an automatic hanging rod pulling out device for producing dry noodles by pulling out the rod at the next appropriate location.

Conventional technology, problems to be solved, and means of solving them: In the past, most of the hanging rods in this type of dry noodle production were manually pulled out one by one; Needless to say, this requires a pulling worker, which is inefficient and uneconomical. In order to eliminate such inconveniences, the present invention uses a clever combination of simple mechanisms to automatically perform the extraction one after another.The details of this will be explained in the following embodiments.

Example: 1 is a chain conveyor with a noodle string hanging rod (a rod on which noodle strings are folded in half and suspended; the same applies hereinafter).
2 are mounted at regular intervals and travel a fixed distance within a drying chamber (not shown). 3 is a guide claw fixed on the conveyor 1. 4 is conveyor 1
This is a screw-type roll device for pulling out hanging rods, which is installed on the side of the conveyor near the front end of the conveyor, and consists of two screw rods 4', 4', upper and lower, which are screwed in the same direction in different directions. It rotates at a high speed, and as in the later versions, the end of the hanging rod that is initially sandwiched between them is rotated, and as it rotates, the entire length of the rod is pulled out in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1. be. Reference numeral 5 denotes a hanging rod rotating roll device which is arranged behind the screw-shaped roll device and symmetrically on both sides of the chain conveyor 1. The rolls rotate in the same direction and at the same speed. In this roll device, the ends of the hanging rods being transferred on conveyor 1 come into contact between these rolls. This is provided to temporarily rotate the rod and the suspended noodle strip during passage, thereby separating the adhesion between the rod and the suspended noodle strip, thereby facilitating subsequent removal. Reference numeral 6 denotes an endless belt conveyor that is placed inside the chain conveyor 1 and runs in the same direction and at the same speed as the chain conveyor. The rods are placed one after another near the front end of the transition, and the noodles are moved forward so that they are roughly horizontal.
The rod body is pulled out by the roll device 5 during this progress. Reference numeral 7 denotes floating prevention rolls for noodle strings, and as shown in the figure, a plurality of rolls are installed above the belt conveyor between the hanging rod rotating roll device 5 and the screw-shaped roll 4. This suppressing roll can prevent the noodle strings from floating due to these operations both when the rod is rotated by the device 5 and during the operation of pulling out the rod by the device 4. For this purpose, it is desirable that the roll be made of a flexible material, such as felt.

The operation of this device is such that the noodle string hanging rods 2, which are transferred by the chain conveyor 1, are sequentially mounted on the conveyor 6, and the noodle strings move forward while taking a horizontal position. During this time, the end of the rod 2 first comes into contact between both rolls of the rotating roll device 5. As the noodles pass through the noodles, they are temporarily rotated by the rotation of the same roll, effectively separating the adhesion between the rod and the noodle strings. Next, the end of the rod is sandwiched between the upper and lower rolls of the screw-shaped roll device 4, and as the rolls rotate and the rod moves, the entire rod is pulled out (in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1). That will happen. In other words, the operations and positions of the related elements are set relationally so that this occurs. In addition, the rod 4' of the threaded roll device is usually
Made of a hard rubber-like material.

Effect of the invention: According to the present invention, the rod body of the noodle string hanging rod is mounted on the chain conveyor and is automatically pulled out by the cooperation of the screw-shaped roll device and the belt conveyor 6. Therefore, it is not only possible to produce dried noodles much more efficiently and in an extremely stable state than conventional means, but also the great advantage is that the entire device has a simple configuration and can be manufactured at a low cost. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the rod can be pulled out without any trouble by the rod rotation roll device. Furthermore, it is clear that by providing the anti-float roll 7, the rod can be pulled out in a more stable manner.
