Definitions
- a feeder 1 which has two uprights 2, between which a conveyor belt 3 develops and is supported, which provides for conveying separate groups of spaghetti of different colours (indicated as A, B, C, each group being formed by pieces of spaghetti which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the feeding direction) toward a mixing part 4.
Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a machine which allows the random mixing of groups of spaghetti or other type of multicolour string pasta in order to obtain a single pack of multicolour spaghetti.
- It is clear that here and in the course of this description, the term "spaghetti" not only means the known types of full circular section spaghetti, but also any other type of differently sectioned string pasta, such as, for example, linguine, bucatini, etc.
- As known, in addition to traditional spaghetti, other types of consumer-popular spaghetti are now available, which are variously coloured according to the ingredients used, for example red if containing carrots, green if containing spinach or other vegetables, and so on.
- A further variation is the insertion, in a single pack, of spaghetti of various colours, still better if randomly mixed rather than in side-by-side groups.
- Obviously, this mixing is not easy, especially if one wishes to do it automatically and mechanically.
-
US-A-5108012 discloses a dispenser for pasta including the features of the preamble ofclaim 1. - The object of the present invention is precisely to provide a machine which allows the random mixing of spaghetti belonging to initial groups of spaghetti of different colours.
- In accordance with the present invention, this object has been achieved with a machine as defined in
claim 1. - In this way, while the drum has the charge mouth open and facing upwards, the various groups of spaghetti of different colours previously introduced into the hopper are made to fall from said hopper into the hollow drum, the charge mouth thereof being closed straight afterwards in order to allow the rotation of the drum for the mixing of the spaghetti. After several rotations, the drum stops with the charge mouth facing downwards and the closing door thereof is opened. The mixed spaghetti thus fall into a gathering assembly in order to be subsequently sent to dosing, weighing and packaging assemblies.
- The operation is then repeated for subsequent groups of spaghetti which give rise to packs of spaghetti formed by spaghetti of various colours which are randomly mixed.
- The features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of a practical embodiment thereof, shown by way of a non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
figure 1 shows an elevation view of a machine according to the present invention; -
figure 2 shows the mixing part of said machine with the charging hopper in the open position; -
figure 3 shows the same mixing part with hopper in the closed position; -
figure 4 shows a frontal view of the same mixing part with hopper closed; -
figure 5 shows the enlarged detail of the mixer sectioned perpendicular to the axis of rotation thereof; -
figure 6 shows the separate detail of two closing doors of the charge mouth of the mixer; -
figure 7 shows the mixer sectioned along the line VII-VII offigure 5 ; -
figure 8 shows the mixer during the step of loading the spaghetti by means of the charge and discharge mouth; -
figure 9 shows the mixer with the doors closed, ready to begin the rotation about the axis thereof; -
figure 10 shows the mixer during the step of rotation for mixing the spaghetti; -
figure 11 shows the mixer in the stop position in the discharge position; -
figure 12 shows the mixer during the step of discharging the mixed spaghetti. - With reference to
figure 1 , which shows the machine as a whole, afeeder 1 is provided which has twouprights 2, between which aconveyor belt 3 develops and is supported, which provides for conveying separate groups of spaghetti of different colours (indicated as A, B, C, each group being formed by pieces of spaghetti which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the feeding direction) toward amixing part 4. -
Conveyor belt 3 is preferably constituted by two or more side-by-side sections, each of which provides for transporting the respective groups A, B, C, the spaghetti of which are cut at the ends along lines parallel to the direction of feeding of the aforementioned groups. In the case shown, for ease of representation and description, an embodiment with a single section of conveyor is examined, by way of example. - Mixing
part 4, better illustrated infigures 2, 3 and4 , comprises acharging hopper 5 placed at the outlet ofconveyor belt 3 in order to receive, one after the other, the three groups of spaghetti A, B, C and keep them in a stacked position thanks to anarched gate 6, which can be made to rotate about afixed axis 7 by means of a hydraulic orpneumatic cylinder 8.Gate 6 can thus adopt the opening position of the bottom ofhopper 5, as shown infigure 2 , or a closing position of the bottom of the hopper, as shown infigure 3 . In this last position, as shown,gate 6 keeps the groups of spaghetti A, B, C of different colours one on top of the other. - Below
hopper 5, amixer 9 is arranged, which comprises a hollow cylinder-shapedfixed frame 10 with diametrically opposed charge anddischarge mouths figures 2 and 3 ), a hollowcylindrical drum 11 rotatably arranged withinframe 10 about anaxis 12 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spaghetti and equipped with a charge anddischarge mouth 13, and a plurality of pairs ofintegral doors figures 4-7 ) in turn rotatable aboutaxis 12, for the opening and closing of the charge anddischarge mouths figures 5-12 ). - Finally, below
mixer 9, avertical slide 19 is arranged, equipped with obliqueinternal protuberances 20, which leads to agathering assembly 21 which provides for sending to subsequent assemblies for dosing, weighing and packaging packets of spaghetti. - Mixing
part 4 works as follows for the random mixing of the spaghetti of groups A, B, C of different colours. -
Feeder 1 introduces in succession a prearranged number of groups of spaghetti (the three groups A, B, C in the example shown) intohopper 5, wheregate 6 in the closed position (figure 2 ) stores them and keeps them in a stacked condition. - With
drum 11 ofmixer 9 arranged in the angular position infigure 5 , i.e. with charge anddischarge mouth 13 facing upwards in a position immediately belowhopper 5,upper door 14 is opened for the consequent opening ofcharge mouth 17 and closinggate 6 ofhopper 5 is in turn carried to an opening position in order to let the spaghetti A, B, C stored therein fall into hollow drum 11 (fig. 8 ) -
Upper door 14, together withlower door 15, is then closed again and the hollow drum is set into rotation in order to carry out the mixing of the spaghetti A, B, C (fig. 10 ). - After several rotations,
hollow drum 11 is stopped in a position withmouth 13 facing downwards (fig. 11 ) anddoors fig. 12 ) - Spaghetti A, B, C, now completely randomly mixed, exit from the hollow drum by means of
mouths fig. 12 ), where they follow a zig-zag path defined by the obliqueinternal protuberances 20 until they reach gatheringgroup 21, which then sends them to subsequent dosing, weighing and packaging groups. - In the meantime,
gate 6 ofhopper 5 has been closed again and new groups of spaghetti A, B, C have been stored one above the other within the hopper.Mixer 9 is brought back to the starting position (fig. 5 ),doors fig. 8 ) and the mixing cycle begins again as described above.
