Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a laver roll producing apparatus for automatically producing laver rolls, and more specifically, it forms a plate of a predetermined amount of cooked rice and feeds it onto a laver sheet, and then forms the rolled plate. And a seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing seaweed rolls.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cooked rice is put in a hopper, and the cooked rice discharged from the lower part is formed into a plate shape, cut into a predetermined length, and then sent out onto a laver sheet, and the cooked rice is rolled up together with the laver sheet to be molded. As a result, various seaweed roll manufacturing apparatuses for automatically manufacturing seaweed rolls are provided.
In such a conventional seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus, the rice discharged from the lower part of the hopper is continuously supplied on the belt conveyor, and after being made into a plate-shaped rice to some extent, it is solidified into a plate by a rolling roller, It is designed to be cut into a predetermined length and then sent out onto the laver sheet waiting by another belt conveyor. The laver sheet on which the plate-shaped cooked rice is placed is spread on the four plate-shaped members that are the forming part, and the remaining three plate-shaped members are obtained by lowering one of the plate-shaped members. Is molded into a seaweed roll with a rectangular cross section.

[0003]

Since such a seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus uses two sets of belt conveyors, the size of the apparatus becomes large, and there is no problem in a specialty store that manufactures a large amount of seaweed rolls. However, it is not preferable to install a large-scale device in a small store or a store that manufactures various kinds of meals and nori rolls there. Also, from the viewpoint of hygiene, when the work of the day is completed, it is necessary to clean it to remove the residue of cooked rice and clean it. However, the belt conveyor cannot be easily removed, and not only is cleaning time consuming, such as cleaning by wiping while it is attached to the apparatus, and maintenance inspection is also troublesome.

Further, the seaweed rolls include thin rolls such as Kanpyo rolls and iron fire rolls, and thick rolls containing various ingredients. The molding part is formed by rolling in four plate members. Therefore, it is necessary to change the widths of the four plate-shaped members for thin winding and thick winding. However, such a forming part cannot be easily replaced, and therefore, the conventional laver winding manufacturing apparatus is exclusively used for thin rolls or thick rolls, and when manufacturing two types of thin rolls and thick rolls. Two devices were required, one for winding and one for thick winding.

Therefore, a first object of the present invention is to provide a seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus which can be downsized and can be extremely easily maintained and inspected without using a belt conveyor which takes up a volume and is not easy to maintain and inspect. It is to be.

A second object of the present invention is to simplify the structure of the forming part for forming a thin roll or a thick roll so that the forming part for a thin roll or a thick roll can be easily replaced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seaweed roll producing apparatus capable of arbitrarily producing rolls and thick rolls.

[0007]

According to the laver-rolling apparatus of the present invention, the cooked rice transport section is arranged such that the cooked rice conveyor section is spaced at a distance such that the cooked rice does not slacken, and its position becomes lower as it moves away from the dropping port of the cooked rice hopper. A plurality of feed rollers, and a rolling roller that is supported above any one of these feed rollers so that its vertical position can be adjusted and that makes contact with the top surface of the cooked rice and rolls it into a plate shape while adjusting its thickness,
A support member that supports the lower ends of both ends of the feed roller in the axial direction, a holding member that removably presses the upper end of both ends of the feed roller in the axial direction, and a plate-shaped cooked rice on each feed roller in the direction of the forming part. In addition to rotating so as to send out, the rolling roller also has driving means for driving in the same direction and at the same speed.

The seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus of the present invention also includes a carriage whose forming section can be moved to the discharge side of the cooked rice conveying section, a lift member mounted on the carriage and vertically supported by driving means, Four molding members continuously connected to each other so as to be bendable so as to form a rectangular shape having a space in between, and one end of the molding member is rotatable for rotating two molding members adjacent to one molding member. And an arm holder that rotatably supports the other end of the arm member and is detachably supported on the lift member. The molding member, the arm member, and the arm holder are attached to the carriage. It is characterized by being detachably supported.

[0009]

By configuring the cooked rice transport section as described above, the cooked rice discharged from the drop opening of the cooked rice hopper can be sequentially fed to the molding section by a plurality of feed rollers, and can be tilted in the front-back direction. Even if it is not long, it is possible to provide a predetermined feed length, that is, a length of plate-like cooked rice for making seaweed rolls, and it is possible to downsize the device. In addition, holding the axial ends of each feed roller is released by opening the presser member, so they can be easily removed.These feed rollers can be cleaned by taking them out. It is possible to mount these feed rollers at predetermined positions on the pressing member and then mount them again simply by closing the pressing member.

Further, since the molding member, the arm member, and the arm holder are detachably supported by the dolly by configuring the molding portion as described above, it is possible to easily replace only the molding member, the arm member, and the arm holder. By preparing two types of molding member and arm member for thin winding, thick winding and thin winding can be arbitrarily manufactured. Further, since the molding member can be removed together with the arm member, the molding portion can be easily cleaned.

7 to the second molding member 96 and the first molding member 94. That is, the cooked rice 20 having a predetermined thickness is placed on the seaweed. Here, a predetermined ingredient (not shown) is placed on the central portion of the cooked rice 20. The motor 88 causes the crank plate 91 to be positioned so as to raise the lift member 85. The lift member 85 is raised as shown in FIG.
The arm holder 105 is lifted, so that the second and third molding members 96, 97 are moved through the lift arm 103.
Rises around the pivot 95 as a fulcrum, and the third forming member 97
The fourth forming member 98 also rotates with the pivot shaft 95 as a fulcrum by the arm 108 in accordance with the rising of the above, and is positioned so as to substantially face the first forming member 94. As a result, the cooked rice 20 is formed into a substantially rectangular laver roll. Since the lift member 85 descends again after being formed in this way, the first to fourth forming members 94, 96, 97, 98 open flatly, so take out the finished seaweed roll and add new seaweed there. Once placed, the subsequent seaweed roll can be formed by the same operation as described above.
