Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION These inventions relate to a noodle string alignment device for noodle production.

Conventionally, noodle bodies that have been sprinkled with flour and pounded have been generally folded and cut with a cutter to form noodle strings. These noodle strings were collected and arranged in boxes by hand, but the boxes were moved at regular intervals to form a fixed pile of cut noodle strings and arrange them one after another.

However, if you use your hands as in the former case, the effect of mechanization is halved and it tends to be unsanitary, and even if you put it in a box like in the latter case, the noodle strings are not neatly aligned.

In addition, when boiling the noodle next time, grasp the center of the noodle strings with your hands and shake them to remove any excess flour or to remove any knots that may have formed due to folding. .

Furthermore, when producing products such as dried noodles, semi-raw products (semi-dried products), and fresh noodles (noodles that have not been boiled), a drying process or packaging process is required. By holding it in place, the flour is removed and folds are removed.

In view of these circumstances, the first invention aims to arrange the rods in a hygienic and neat manner and remove excess powder or folded tubes, and the second invention aims to further remove the rods. The purpose is to make it easy to put into the drying or packaging process.

In order to achieve these objects, the first invention provides a first invention in which at least two ropes extending in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the noodle strings to be supplied are strung apart from each other, and the noodle strings are attached to these driven ropes. The second invention has a structure in which the noodle strings are aligned by being received across the ropes, and the second invention has the structure of the first invention in which at least one rod is detachably provided between the ropes further apart from each other along the ropes. It is structured as follows.

Hereinafter, these inventions will be explained based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show a noodle string aligning device according to an embodiment of the invention. 1 in the figure is a pedestal with four pillars 3, a shelf board 5,
It is made to have rigidity with the horizontal beam 7 and other reinforcing members (not shown). A shaft 9 is passed horizontally above the horizontal beam 7 between the supports 3 forming both short sides of the frame 1, and two pulleys 11 are provided on this shaft 9 at a distance from each other. A rope 13 is passed between the opposing pulleys 11, respectively.

This rope 13 is made of polyurethane in consideration of sanitary aspects.

In order to prevent the rope 13 from bending due to the weight of the noodle strings received by it, a guide 15 of the rope holder is provided on the horizontal crosspiece 7.

As shown in FIG. 2, this rope receiver has a guide 15 having a frame body 15a which is open at the top and bottom, and a support plate 15b that receives the rope 13 and is adjustable on the longitudinal side surface of the frame body 15a. It is provided. The upper parts of the frame body 15a and the receiving plate 15b are pressed down to such an extent that the noodle strings 17 hung on the rope 13 are not caught.

Further, one of the shafts 9 is connected to and driven by a motor 19 fixed to a frame 1 such as a shelf board 5, for example. A switch box 21 that drives the motor 19 and also adjusts its rotational speed is provided at a convenient location for operating the gantry 1.

Furthermore, there is a gap between the rope 13 and the other rope 13.
= A bracket 23 is provided for the rod holder on the horizontal crosspiece 7, and the rod 2
One or more rod holders 5 are removably supported on a bracket 23 along a rope 13. 27 is a stopper that prevents the rod 25 from rolling.

The noodle string arranging device having such a configuration is constructed by tensioning at least two ropes extending in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the noodle strings to be supplied and spaced apart from each other, as shown in FIG. It is used either separately from the noodle machine or incorporated into the noodle machine as shown in FIG. Also, as another example,
By using a large number of pulleys 11 as shown in FIG. 6, it can be extended to a high position or a far position. Here, 29 is a cutter that turns noodle bodies into noodle strings, 31 is a guide plate, and 33 is, for example, an eggplant pot.

How to use this will be explained.

In FIG. 4 or 5, the noodle strings 17 cut by the cutter 29- flow down from the guide plate 31 one after another.

Here, depending on the length of the cutter 29, the noodle is either cut without being folded, or it is cut with the folded ends meeting in the center, so-called 4-fold. therefore,
The noodle strings 17 flow down either straight or with their shafts open. The interval between the two ropes 13 is set so that the noodle strings 17 over a certain length are caught, and the two ropes extend in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the noodle strings 17 to be supplied. Because of the arrangement, if the noodle strings 17 flowing down are short, they will not get caught on one or all of the two ropes 13.
Even if it gets caught on one side, one side will become longer and it will naturally fall onto the fence board 5. In this way, the short scrap noodle strings 17 are selected and discarded here, so that only the long ones can be arranged. That is, the ropes 13 straddled over both ropes 13 are driven by the motor 19 and fed in the longitudinal direction, so that they are aligned as shown in FIG. 3.

The reason why the hanging tips of the noodle strings 17 draw a curved line in the state shown in FIG. 3 is because the rolled noodle bodies are generally oblong. After the entire noodle body has been cut, the drive of the rope 13 is stopped, one of the rods 25 shown in FIG. Send to packaging process.

Labor-saving can be achieved by automating the vertical movement of the rod 25, etc.

When the noodle strings 17 are straddled over the rope 13 or when the noodle strings 17 are being removed from the rod, the folds of the noodle strings 17 can be stretched or excess flour can be removed.

As explained above, the first invention is such that at least two ropes extending in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the noodle strings to be supplied are stretched apart from each other, and the noodle strings are attached to these driven ropes. Since the noodle strings are aligned by being received by straddling the noodle, excess flour or folds can be automatically removed, and it is hygienic as no hands are required.
Moreover, they can be arranged neatly.

In addition, the second invention further allows the rod to be removed, so it can be easily sent to a drying or packaging process, it is easy to automate, and it is hygienic because it does not need to be touched by human hands.
