Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a noodle dough extrusion die device in which the extrusion die for extruding the noodle dough into a thick plate has a split structure. It is something.

[Conventional technology]

The noodle dough manufacturing device is a device configured to knead and stretch dough mixed with raw materials for noodle dough using a screw conveyor, stretch it in any direction, and extrude it into a thick plate-like noodle dough using an extrusion die.

Conventional extrusion dies for extruding noodle dough into a thick plate had a one-piece structure with a rectangular extrusion opening.

As described above, if the noodle dough extrusion die has an integral structure, the ability to extrude the noodle dough is constant and cannot be adjusted. For this reason, there is no problem if the extrusion die's ability to extrude noodle dough corresponds to the capacity of the device itself (amount of kneading and transfer of noodle dough raw materials per unit time), but in reality, the screw conveyor The rotation speed is adjustable, allowing the ability of the device to be changed.

If the extrusion capacity of the extrusion die is small compared to the capacity of the machine body, the load applied to the transmission devices such as the screw conveyor and chain that make up the machine body becomes large, and the load applied to the extrusion die also increases. If the load exceeds the limit, the chain that transmits the power may break.

On the other hand, if the extrusion capacity of the extrusion die is large compared to the capacity of the main body of the device, both ends of the extruded noodle dough will become irregularly shaped, so-called "sagging", which will cause the noodle dough to be cut in the subsequent process. When making noodles, the yield of the noodle dough deteriorates, and the taste of the noodles also deteriorates.

Furthermore, even if it is desired to adjust the hardness of the noodle dough depending on the type of noodle to enhance the flavor of the noodle, this cannot be done with the conventional extrusion die having an integral structure.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

In view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional extrusion die, which has an integrated structure, the present invention has a split structure in which the extrusion die is divided into a die body and a lid body, so that the kneading of noodle dough raw materials in the device body is easier. By making it possible to freely adjust the extrusion capacity of the extrusion die according to the transfer amount, it is possible to manufacture noodle dough with different hardness depending on the type, etc., and it also prevents the noodle dough from becoming sagging. Furthermore, it is an object of this invention to prevent an excessive load from being applied to the main body of the apparatus.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a noodle dough manufacturing apparatus configured to mix dough raw materials for noodle dough with a screw conveyor, stretch it in any direction, and extrude it into a thick plate-like noodle dough with an extrusion die. The extrusion die is divided into a die body having an open upper surface and a lid body rotatably pivoted to the base end of the die body to cover the opening of the die body. In order to press the tip of the lid so that it does not float up, and to adjust the height of the tip of the lid relative to the die body to adjust the height of the noodle dough extrusion opening. It is characterized by being equipped with a lid pressing tool.

[Effect of invention]

The extrusion die is split into a split structure, and the tip of the extrusion die is pressed to prevent the lid from floating up, and the height of the tip of the lid relative to the die body is adjusted to form the noodle dough. Since the lid pressing tool is provided for adjusting the height of the extrusion port of the extrusion die, the cross-sectional area of the extrusion port of the extrusion die can be easily adjusted by the lid pressing tool.

For this reason, if the cross-sectional area of the extrusion port of the extrusion die is made slightly smaller than the amount of kneading and transfer of noodle dough raw materials in the main body of the device, the extruded noodle dough will be slightly harder, and if this is reversed, the noodle dough will be slightly harder. It is soft, and the firmness can be subtly adjusted depending on the type of noodle dough. In addition, if an excessive load is applied to the main body of the device or the noodle dough to be extruded is flattened, these phenomena can be prevented by adjusting the cross-sectional area of the extrusion opening of the extrusion die using the lid presser. can be easily avoided. In other words, if an excessive load is applied to the main body of the device, the cross-sectional area of the extrusion port of the extrusion die may be increased;
If the noodle dough is sagging, its cross-sectional area can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the extrusion die has a split structure, the noodle dough that has solidified inside the die body can be easily removed by removing the lid.
