Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a flour-pulling device for a flour dough processing machine, such as a noodle-making machine.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a flour dough processing machine such as a noodle-making machine is provided with a flour battering device for rolling or cutting out flour dough. This flour dusting device is equipped with a flour dusting box disposed above the processing plate surface on which the dough for udon, soba, ramen, etc. is placed.
It has a long box-like shape to match the size of the dough, and since storing a large amount of flour increases the weight, it is fixed to the noodle making machine body or top plate with screws.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in such a flour dusting device, the flour storage box is fixed to the noodle making machine body or the top plate with screws, so it is difficult to remove the remaining flour dust. There was a problem in that it was extremely troublesome to replace the flour when producing many types of noodles such as udon, soba, and ramen using one machine.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The automatic flour dusting device according to the present invention includes a thin and rectangular dusting powder storage box into which dusting powder is inputted through an opening formed in the upper part and capable of dispersing the dusting powder from the bottom, and this dusting powder storage box. an opening edge extending in the longitudinal direction of the upper part of the powder storage box, comprising: a support means for suspending and supporting the box from above; and a rotating brush that extends in the longitudinal direction of the powder storage box and is removably disposed inside the powder storage box. a pair of support flanges into which the horizontal flanges can be inserted from the longitudinal direction of the horizontal flanges are formed in the supporting means, and the horizontal flanges are slid onto the upper portions of the pair of support flanges. The supporting means is configured to support the dusting powder storage box, and a shaft of a rotating brush is projected from one end in the longitudinal direction of the dusting dust storage box, and an engaging pin extending in the axial direction is projected from this projection. A driving pin that engages with an engagement pin of the rotating brush is provided at a part of the supporting means from which the shaft of the rotating brush projects when the supporting means supports the dusting powder storage box. The drive pin and the pair of engagement pins are characterized in that they engage with each other when the powder storage box is supported by the support means.

(Function) Since the automatic flour dusting device according to the present invention is constructed as described above, when the flour dusting storage box is removed from the support means, the engagement between the driving pin and the engagement pin is released, and Since the rotating brush can be removed from the powder storage box, the rotating brush can be replaced or cleaned.

Also, by setting the cleaned or replaced rotating brush in the dusting powder storage box and sliding the dusting storage box to support it on the support means, the driving pin and the engagement pin are engaged and the rotational force transmission path is established. This makes it extremely easy to replace the powder. Particularly, when replacing the dusting powder, if a plurality of dusting powder storage boxes are prepared and each one is filled with a different dusting powder, the dusting powder can be replaced with a single touch by removing and attaching the dusting powder storage boxes.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the automatic powder dusting device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the planar configuration of an automatic flour dusting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a top plate 1 located above a processing plate (not shown) for processing flour dough, A guide rail 2a is provided as a supporting member (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 3, the guide rail 2a is made of a pair of L-shaped steel pieces, and the dusting powder storage box 3 can be slid onto the guide rail 2 and taken out.
A stopper is provided at one end of the guide rail 2a to prevent the powder storage box 3 from falling off, and the other end of the guide rail 2a is open so that the powder storage box 3 can be taken out.

The dusting powder storage box 3 has a rectangular box shape, and a slide plate portion 3a that slides against the guide rail 2a is formed at the upper opening into which the dusting powder is placed. A scattering port 3b for dispersing powder is opened at the bottom of the flour storage box 3 facing a processing plate (not shown) for processing flour dough. This spray port 3
b is provided with a net 3c, and a rotating brush 4 as a dispersing device built in the powder storage box 3 is in contact with the net 3c.

This rotating brush 4 is composed of a rotating shaft 4a and a brush 4b with bristles flocked on the outer peripheral surface of a main shaft 4a. When the rotating shaft 4a is rotated, the brush 4b comes into contact with the net 3c and vibrates, causing the brush 4b to vibrate. The flour 5 in the flour storage box 3 is scattered onto the flour dough on the processing plate surface by the vibration 4b. The amount of dusting powder 5 to be sprinkled on the rotating shaft 4a
It is adjusted by the number of revolutions per unit time. On both sides of the rotating shaft 4a, rotating shafts 4c, 4c which are rotatably supported by the bearing B of the bearing 3d of the powder storage box 3 are provided. rotating shaft 4c,
4c is provided with a seal 3e that prevents the dust powder 5 from leaking from the bearing 3d (see Figs. 4 and 5).
(see figure). One of the rotating shafts 4c protrudes from the dusting powder storage box 3, and a driving device 7 for rotating the rotating brush 4 is provided at the protruding portion of the rotating shaft 4c.
A clutch 6 is provided which can be connected to the clutch 6. As shown in FIG. 6, a pair of engagement pins 6a, 6a are protruded from the end surface of the clutch 6. The distal ends of the pair of engagement pins 6a, 6a are sharply pointed.

The drive device 7 includes a motor 8, a drive sprocket 9, a drive chain 10, and a driven sprocket 1.
1. It is roughly composed of a driven sprocket 11, a rotating shaft 12 that rotates integrally with the rotating shaft 12, and a clutch 13 attached to the rotating shaft 12.

The motor 8 is fixed to a mounting plate 14 fixed to the top plate 1. An output shaft 8a of the motor 8 is loosely inserted into the mounting plate 14, and a drive sprocket 9 is fixed to the output shaft 8a. The drive chain 10, which meshes with the drive sprocket 9, meshes with the driven sprocket 11. Driven sprocket 11
The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably supported by a bearing 14a of the mounting plate 14 and a bearing 15a of the mounting plate 15. The upper part of the mounting plate 15 is fixed to the top plate 1, and the mounting plates 14 and 15 are fixed to each other by a shaft 16. A mounting plate 1 is attached to one end of the rotating shaft 12.
A clutch 13 is provided on the side of the powder storage box 3 of No. 5. On the outer peripheral surface of the clutch 13, four driving engagement pins 13a extending substantially perpendicularly are provided. This engagement pin 13a
... extend in a direction intersecting the engagement pins 6a, 6a of the rotating brush 4, and when the flour storage box 3 is located above the flour dough conveying position, which is a predetermined position on the guide rail 2a, the engagement pins 6a, 6a intersect with each other.

(Effect of the invention) Since the automatic flour dusting device according to the present invention is configured as explained above, when the dust dusting box is removed from the support means, the engagement between the driving pin and the engagement pin is released. At the same time, since the rotating brush can be removed from the powder storage box, the rotating brush can be replaced or cleaned.

Also, by setting the cleaned or replaced rotating brush in the dusting powder storage box and sliding the dusting storage box to support it on the support means, the driving pin and the engagement pin are engaged and the rotational force transmission path is established. This makes it extremely easy to replace the powder. Particularly, when replacing the dusting powder, if a plurality of dusting powder storage boxes are prepared and each one is filled with a different dusting powder, the dusting powder can be replaced with a single touch by removing and attaching the dusting powder storage boxes.
