Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a noodle waving device used in the noodle making process.

Conventional wave equipment has a conveyor that receives the noodle strings installed at an appropriate height directly below the slitter roll that cuts the noodle strips into noodle strings, and the noodle strings pass between the conveyor and the slitter roll in the vertical direction. By providing an open frame body and adjusting the feed speed of the conveyor to be slower than the descending speed of the noodle strips, the noodle strips descending onto this conveyor are prevented from "sagging" due to the resistance of the conveyor surface, that is, waves. , and the amplitude of the wave was equalized between the vertical inner walls of the frame.

For this reason, the conventional wave waveform is the so-called noodle string.
Although it depends on the hardness or softness of the waist, it is almost uniquely determined by the relationship between the conveyor feed speed and the noodle string descent speed, and it is only possible to shape a relatively simple waveform. The device needed to be replaced.

Also, in general, the more water the noodles have, the better the flavor will be.
Naturally, if there is a lot of water, the noodle strings will be soft and sticky. As a result, if an attempt was made to equalize the waves using a simple frame, the noodle strings would adhere to the inner wall of the frame, causing noodle clogging, and the device would have to be stopped and cleaned each time, which was an inconvenience. .

In view of these disadvantages, the present invention aims to provide a waving device for a noodle making machine that can arbitrarily shape the noodle strings from simple to complex waveforms without clogging the noodles.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1, 1 is a slitter roll. The slitter rolls 1, 1 have a large number of cutting blades 2, 2.
The noodle strip is passed between two slitter rolls 1, 1 and cut into noodle strings. The cutting device 3, which has the slitter rolls 1, 1 as its main components, has two slitter rolls 1, 1 placed horizontally, parallel to their axes 4, 4, and their cutting blades 2, 2 engaged with each other. There is. The slitter rolls 1, 1 rotate from above to below in the meshing portion 5. Note that the above-mentioned cutting device 3 is not limited to the slitter roll, but may be any suitable cutting means.

6 is a guide roller. The guide roller 6 is connected to the roll shaft 4 above the meshing part 5 of the slitter rolls 1, 1.
It is placed parallel to. This guide roller 6 vertically lowers the noodle strip 7 that has been rolled into a strip and is continuously transported, and rolls the noodle strip 7 between the slitter rolls 1 and 1.
It is fed into the meshing part 5 from above. Then, the guided noodle strip 7 is cut by the cutting blades 2, 2 of the slitter rolls 1, 1 when passing through the meshing part 5,
It becomes noodle strings 8 and is sent out downward from the engaging part 5.

9, 9 are noodle strings 8 fed out from the engaging portion 5;
This is a guide board that guides the flow of water. A pair of information boards 9,9
extend long and parallel in the direction of the axes 4, 4 of the respective slitter rolls 1, 1. The guide plates 9, 9 have their upper edges in contact with the roll circumferential surfaces of the respective slitter rolls 1, 1 near the lower part of the meshing portion 5, and their lower edges are curved in the rotational direction of the rolls along the respective roll circumferential surfaces. There is. That is, the pair of guide plates 9, 9 are shaped like an "eight" when viewed from the direction of the roll axes 4, 4. These guide plates 9, 9 are the slitter rolls 1, 1
It also has the function of peeling off the noodle strings 8 adhering to the circumferential surface of the noodle strings 8.

10 is a wave shaper. This wave shaper 10 has a frame structure that is made up of four vertical side walls and is open in the vertical direction. This frame 11 has a rectangular shape when viewed from the direction of the upper opening 12, and its long side is parallel to the axes 4, 4 of the slitter rolls 1, 1, and its short side is parallel to the axis 4, 4 of the slitter rolls 1, 1. It is set at a position where it intersects the axes 4, 4 direction at right angles, and the center in the short side direction is directly below the meshing portion 5. The number of wave shapers 10 corresponding to the width of the noodle strip 7 is connected in the longitudinal direction, or the necessary number corresponding to the width of the noodle strip 7 is formed integrally from the beginning. Note that the length L of one wave shaper 10 in the long side direction corresponds to the width of the noodle balls to be produced.

In FIG. 2, one of the long sides of the frame 11 constituting the wave shaper 10 is a front wall 20,
The other side is the rear wall 21, and the wall surface forming the short side is the side wall 1.
This will be explained as 4 and 14.

The front wall 20 and the side walls 14, 14 are each formed into substantially vertical wall surfaces.

The rear wall 21 has its upper opening side 12 connected to the rotation axis 13.
The front wall 20 has a swingable wall surface that is rotatably biased in the direction of the front wall 20. In the embodiment, a rotation shaft 13 is installed between both walls 14 on the short side of the upper opening 12, and the upper side of the rear wall 21 is swingably suspended from the rotation shaft 13. A bolt 15 is installed on the outer central wall surface of the rear wall 21, and is substantially perpendicular to the wall surface.
A nut 16 is fitted onto this bolt 15. These bolts 15 and nuts 16 keep the rear wall 21 connected to the front wall 20.
The adjustment weight portion 17 is configured to be biased to rotate.

This adjustment weight section 17 allows the rear wall 21 to rotate around the rotation axis 13 and the front wall 20 by the weight.
By applying a constant biasing moment in the lateral direction, the rear wall 2
1 is brought close to the front wall 20, and the inner surface of the rear wall 21 is made to correspond diagonally to the perpendicular from the engaging part 5. It should be noted that the adjustment weight portion 17 does not necessarily need to be composed of the bolt 15 and nut 16;
Any suitable mechanism may be used as long as it is capable of arbitrarily adjusting the biasing force against 1.

When the rear wall 21 is configured in this way, the noodle strings 8 flowing down from the engaging portion 5 inevitably come into contact with the obliquely inclined inner surface of the rear wall 21, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the noodle strings 8 begin to meander due to the resistance of the rear wall 21 and flow down while forming waves. Since the space between the front wall 20 and the rear wall 21 is gradually narrowed toward the bottom, the meandering of the noodle strings 8 becomes even more intense and complicated, and becomes entangled with each other.

Moreover, since one of the rear walls 21 is swingable, if the resistance of the noodle strings 8 flowing down increases, the distance between the front wall 20 and the rear wall 21 will automatically expand according to the resistance. If it opens and becomes smaller, it will return to its original position, which can greatly eliminate clogging of noodle strings. Also, in the unlikely event that the noodle strings 8 stick to the wall and become clumped together,
Since the rear wall 21 retreats in the opposite direction to the front wall 20 according to the resistance of the nodules, the nodules fall under their own weight and the noodle jam is resolved.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rear wall 21 of this embodiment is horizontally divided into two parts, an upper part 21A and a lower part 21B. Connected for free movement. In this case, the adjustment weight portion 17 is located at the upper portion 21A. Therefore, in this embodiment, the rear wall 21 is located at the upper part 21A.
is close to the front wall 20 side due to the existence of the adjustment weight part 17, and the entire upper part 21A is located diagonally to obstruct the flowing direction of the noodle strings 8, while the lower part 21B is located at the top of the upper part 21A. the lower end, i.e. the second
It hangs down parallel to the front wall 20 while maintaining the gap between the rotation shaft 18 and the front wall 20. The lower part 21B of the rear wall 21 hanging in parallel with the front wall 20 is combined with the front wall 20 to equalize the meandering amplitude of the noodle strings 8.

Referring again to FIG. 1, 25 is a conveyor. The conveyor 25 transports the noodle strings 8 discharged from the wave shaping device 10 to the next stage. This conveyor 25 has a belt surface 26 that is shaped like the wave shaper 10.
An appropriate distance H is provided between the belt surface 26 and the discharge port 19 of the wave shaping device 10 so that the waves of the noodle strings 8 discharged from the belt surface 26 can be naturally received as they are.
The direction of movement of the belt surface 26 is preferably perpendicular to the direction of the axes 4, 4 of the slitter rolls 1, 1.

Further, it is preferable that the front wall 20 of the wave shaper 10 is provided downstream with respect to the moving direction of the belt surface 26, and the rear wall 21 is provided upstream with respect to the moving direction of the belt surface 26. Note that the device for transferring the generated noodle strings 8 is not limited to a conveyor, but may be any suitable transfer means.

As described above, the present invention is installed between a cutting device that cuts a noodle strip into noodle strings and a transfer device that receives and transfers the noodle strings flowing down from the cutting device, and that In a wave device consisting of a vertically open frame body having a front wall on the downstream side and a rear wall on the upstream side, the rear wall is a rear wall that hangs down swingably about the upper side as a rotation axis, and An adjustment weight section is provided on the outside of the rear wall to always bias the rear wall toward the front wall, and the rear wall is configured to be in diagonal contact with the noodle strings flowing down from the cutting device. Therefore, the wave of the noodle strings can be prepared from relatively simple waveforms to complex waveforms without replacing the wave device. Also, it can eliminate clogging of noodles.
