Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a noodle cutting device which is improved so that the kneaded dough of noodles can be cut into a linear shape without using a knife, and a die used for the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Udon noodles will be described as an example of noodles. Udon was generally kneaded with flour and saline, kneaded, rolled flat with a rolling pin, and then cut into linear pieces. For this cutting, a knife was used to cut straight.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When a dough flatly extended with a rolling pin is cut with a kitchen knife, the width of the cut noodles is not constant and the thickness varies, and thin portions are cut during the work. There was a problem that it would end up. The noodles with different thicknesses were not good because there was an excess or deficiency when they were boiled. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cutting device for noodles capable of cutting in a spiral shape with a constant width and a die for use in the device.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration. Provided with a spiral cutting blade on the plate, a die for cutting noodles linearly, and a frame shape having an opening of substantially the same size as the outer periphery of the cutting blade, and extending the kneaded noodles in a planar shape. The cutting device for noodles according to claim 1. Except for the peripheral part of the plate body, a spiral cutting blade is provided, and a die having a locking means at one end of the plate body can be superposed on this die and has a size substantially the same as the outer diameter of the cutting blade. A cutting device for noodles according to claim 2, wherein the cutting device is provided with a frame-shaped opening. The punching die according to claim 3, wherein the kneaded noodle can be cut into a linear shape by integrally forming a spiral cutting blade having a constant protruding height with the plate body.

[0005]

[Operation] An appropriate amount of kneaded noodles is placed in a frame-shaped opening having an opening approximately the same size as the outer diameter of the spiral cutting blade, and the noodles are flatly spread by a rolling pin to make the noodles uniform. Set to shape and thickness. When a cutting blade is pressed against the noodles set in this way, the noodles become spiral and can be cut into elongated pieces.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a cutting device for noodles of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a part of the punching die shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, a cutting device 10 for noodles of the present invention includes a frame die 12 having an opening 14, and a die 20 having a spiral cutting blade 25 with an outer diameter substantially the same as the opening 14 of the frame die. Consists of. The frame die 12 and the die 20 will be described in more detail.

The frame mold 12 is used to spread the kneaded noodles in a flat shape and set a constant outer shape.
Therefore, the frame is formed by providing the circular opening 14 in the circular plate having the same plate thickness as the required noodle thickness. Further, a part of the frame is projected so that the entire shape is a raindrop shape, and a hole serving as a locking means 16 is provided in this projecting portion so that the frame mold 12 can be hung on a nail or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the punching die 20 is composed of a plate body 21 made of synthetic resin or wood having the same outer shape as that of the frame die 12, and a peripheral portion 23.
A spiral groove 22 is provided in the center of the circle except for the above, and a hole as a locking means 26 is provided in the protruding portion at the same position as the locking means 16 provided in the frame shape. The cutting blade 25 is formed by spirally winding a metal strip plate, and a part of the cutting blade 25 is embedded in the groove 22 provided in the plate body 21 and attached. The interval between the strips arranged in a spiral shape is the width of the noodles to be cut, and is set in consideration of the type of noodles to be cut and the like.

[0008] The cutting device 10 for noodles configured as described above
An example of use of will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a usage example of FIG. The cutting device for noodles is
The frame die 12 is used by placing it on a clean stand or cutting board. As shown in FIG. 3, a frame-shaped opening 14
An appropriate amount of kneaded noodles 32 that has been kneaded is placed inside. When such a kneaded noodle is rolled on the frame mold 12 using the rolling pin 30, the kneaded noodle is extended and spread in the opening 14. Since the extra kneaded noodles stick out of the opening, the noodles are flatly extended in the same shape as the opening when removed. It is the same as the conventional example that dusting is used to prevent stickiness when rolling or cutting the kneaded noodles. Next, a noodle cutting operation will be described.
From the top of the kneaded noodles 32 that are two-dimensionally extended in the frame mold
The cutting blade 25 of 0 is pressed. In this case, the die 20
The frame die 12 is pressed and then aligned so that the shape and the frame die 12 coincide with each other and overlap. Then the noodles in the frame type,
The noodles are cut into one continuous linear noodle in a shape similar to the spiral shape of the cutting blade 25.

The frame mold 12 can cope with a change in thickness by preparing two or three kinds of plates having different plate thicknesses so that the thickness of noodles can be changed. Frame type 1
In order to make 2 and the die 20 coincide with each other, a plurality of holes are provided in the frame die 12, and a protrusion corresponding to the holes is provided in the peripheral portion 13 of the die, so that both can be used as alignment means. . Also, for the same reason, it is convenient to make the punching plate 21 using a transparent synthetic resin material because the noodles to be cut can be confirmed. When a synthetic resin material is used for the plate body 21, the cutting blade 25 can also be integrally formed of synthetic resin. Further, when the cutting blade is made of metal, it is also possible to embed it while melting the synthetic resin and attach it by heating the cutting blade. Although the circular shape has been described as a spiral shape, an elliptic shape, a polygonal shape, and various patterns are also possible.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained by pressing noodles drawn into a certain shape with a cutting blade having the same spiral shape. It was That is, not only is the shape of the cut noodles interesting, but anyone can easily cut them. Therefore, parents can enjoy making noodles while having fun. Since the cut noodles are one continuous linear shape and a fixed amount, it was possible to obtain effects such as easy handling by subdividing the boiled noodles.
