Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rolling device for noodle strips,
Specifically, the present invention relates to a structure for performing suitable rolling processing on noodle strips.

[Background of the invention]

Generally, rolling of noodle strips, which is carried out for the purpose of improving the properties of noodles, is carried out by combining a pair of upper and lower rolls and passing the noodle strips between them. Usually, roll pairs are combined in multiple stages.

In addition, since this type of multi-roll pair system increases the size of the equipment, one of the pair of rolls is made with a large diameter, and a plurality of small diameter rolls (rotating A noodle making machine incorporating a drive type or rotationally driven type has also been proposed (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-4870).

By the way, when the present inventor investigated a rolling method suitable for improving noodle properties from various viewpoints, it was found that there are points that should be further improved.

This is a problem in that the rolling process of mechanical noodle making does not necessarily have the same effect as the so-called hand-rolling process, which is generally thought to yield noodles with excellent flavor. In other words, in conventional mechanical rolling processing, the thickness of the noodle strips is reduced while conveying the noodle strips in one direction, and the rolling direction of the noodle strips is one direction toward the side after conveyance, but in manual rolling processing, the noodle strips are rolled in one direction. It is designed to spread the noodle dough in all directions.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a noodle strip rolling device that can obtain a rolling process that is close to and similar to manual rolling process.

[Summary of the invention]

The noodle strip rolling apparatus according to the present invention, which has been made to achieve the above object, is characterized by: an inlet feeder for introducing preformed noodle strips into the rolling machine;
A small-diameter roll entrainment mechanism is located next to the inlet feeder and rotates a large number of rotatably supported small-diameter rolls along an endless trajectory. A plurality of rolling rolls are arranged and are spaced apart from and facing the small-diameter roll orbit with appropriate small gaps, a first driving means for rotating the small-diameter roll entraining mechanism, and rotating each of the rolling rolls at a predetermined speed. the rolling mill consisting of a combination of a second driving means;
The inlet feeder has positioning means for introducing a narrow noodle strip into the center of the rolling roll axis with respect to the rolling roll of the rolling mill, and the first The driving means is characterized in that it rotates the small-diameter rolls at a higher speed than the circumferential speed of the rolling rolls.

The reason why this configuration is adopted in the present invention is as follows. That is, in the conventional mechanical rolling process, the direction of stretching given to the noodle strip is limited to the rear side of conveyance as described above. Therefore, in the present invention, this rolling direction is applied not only to the rear side of the conveyance but also to the width (lateral) direction of the conveyance, thereby achieving a preferable rolling effect similar to manual rolling (spreading in all directions). For this purpose, it was made possible to supply noodle strips having a sufficiently narrow width with respect to the rolling width of the rolling mill (width dimension of the rolling surface provided by the rolling rolls) at an appropriate position.

In the present invention, the noodle strips before rolling introduced into the rolling machine from the inlet feeder are preformed noodle strips having a shape suitable for rolling.

In the present invention, the rolling mill having the above-mentioned configuration is preferably used because it performs multi-stage rolling in order to give the noodle strips ductility not only on the rear side of the conveyance but also in the width direction. Because it is desirable.

In the rolling mill of the present invention, the small-diameter roll entrainment mechanism can be configured in various configurations. For example, a method in which a large number of small-diameter rolls arranged around the circumference is rotatably supported by a pair of large-diameter discs located at both ends of the shaft, and a method in which a large number of small-diameter rolls are rotatably supported by a chain conveyor, etc. etc.

In addition, the number of noodle strip rolling rolls is generally three or more, and these rolls are arranged so that the distance between them is gradually reduced from the upstream side to the downstream side of the small diameter roll entrainment mechanism. The rolls are arranged so that the thickness of the noodle strip gradually decreases, and the rotational speed of each rolling roll increases from the upstream side to the downstream side.

The inlet feeder used with the above-described rolling mill in the present invention is configured to introduce a narrow noodle strip into the axially central position of the rolling roll at the most upstream position of the rolling mill. Specifically, a roll feeder that uses a pair of rolls and has a pair of ribs on one of the rolls that determines the introduction position of the noodle strips is preferably adopted, but it is also possible to use a roll feeder that uses a conveyor, an introduction guide plate, etc. You may also use a mold.

In the present invention, the degree of rolling expansion in the width direction (hereinafter referred to as width direction rolling ratio) is preferably 1.5 times or more, more preferably 2.0 times or more.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a front view of an example of the general configuration of a noodle strip rolling machine. , 4, . . . are rotatably supported. In other words, the large-diameter roll 2 has a shaft 3 consisting of a pair of discs located at both ends of the shafts of the small-diameter rolls 4, 4,...
The rotatable small-diameter rolls 4, 4,
It constitutes a small-diameter roll entrainment mechanism that moves the... endlessly. The large diameter roll 2 is rotated by a drive motor 6 via a belt 5.

7, 8, 9, and 10 are rolling rolls having the same diameter and coaxial length, and are disposed opposite to the trajectory of the small-diameter rolls 4, 4, . . . carried by the large-diameter roll 2. From the rotational upstream side of the roll 2, the rolling rolls, , , are successively opposed to each other so as to reduce the distance from the entraining track of the small diameter rolls, and the rotational speeds are increased in the order of the rolls (not shown). connected to the drive mechanism. Note that the distance between each rolling roll and the continuous diameter track of the small diameter rolls can be adjusted by a position adjustment means (not shown). In addition, large diameter roll 2

Reference numeral 11 denotes a pressing roll, which rotates while maintaining a predetermined distance between it and the rolling roll, and serves as a conveyance guide and appropriate pressure on the noodle strips introduced through the inlet feeder, which will be described later. You may substitute other things such as

12 is an inlet feeder, and the inlet feeder in this example has a constant length l in the axial direction as shown in FIG.
It consists of a combination of a flanged roll 13 having a pair of separated flanges 13a, 13a, and an opposing roll 14 having a large diameter portion 14a disposed between the flanges. 13a,
The noodle strip is introduced into the rolling mill through the gap formed between 13a. These pair of rolls in this example are rotatable.

In addition, 15, 16, 17, 18 are scrapers attached to each rolling roll, 19 is a conveyor belt, 2
0 is a roller conveyor, 21 is a pair of finishing rolls,
22 is an incisor whose noodle strips are noodle strings.

In the noodle strip forming apparatus having the above configuration, noodle strips preformed to a predetermined thickness and width are introduced into the inlet feeder by appropriate means and rotated in the directions of the respective arrows as shown in Fig. 1. The noodle strip is sequentially rolled through the settings of the rolling roller and small-diameter entraining roller. In this rolling, the rotational speed V of the large-diameter roll 2 is made sufficiently faster than the rotational speed of the rolling rolls ~, so the rotatable small-diameter rolls 4, 4, . . .
produces a driven rotation in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, and cooperates with each rolling roll to apply a rolling action to the noodle sheet.
In the apparatus of this example, compared to the rolling width L of each rolling roll, the width l of the noodle strip introduced from the inlet feeder 12 satisfies l<L.
During successive rolling, rolling expansion of the noodle strips is also obtained on the rear side of conveyance and on both sides in the width direction. The stretching in the width direction does not necessarily need to be applied entirely in the rolling of each stage; for example, in the apparatus of this example, the stretching in the width direction may be applied only to a portion of the rolling rolls. In addition,
In this case, it is preferable to adopt a structure for restricting the widthwise expansion of the noodle strip in the rolling roll portion according to a conventional method.

The noodle strips rolled in the above manner are expanded by a predetermined amount in the conveying direction and the width direction, respectively, compared to before rolling, and after passing through the finishing roll 21, the noodle strips are separated by the incisors 22. be done.

215 mm, thickness 6 mm, and further passed through finishing rolls to a thickness of 3 mm, so that the noodle strips were rolled and expanded suitably in the transport direction and the width direction.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments; for example, a part of the track of the small-diameter roll entrainment mechanism is formed vertically, and a plurality of rolling rolls are sequentially moved from the top to the bottom of this vertical track. If they are arranged facing each other, there is an advantage that transportation for noodle strip rolling becomes easy.
