Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food processor which defiberizes heated chicken in a ripped state. <P>SOLUTION: When heated chicken is defiberized, rotary blades 1a which each have a major work portion formed like a cone and rotate in an A direction, are set to a silent cutter. A conical angle of the cone is preferably set in the range of 10 to 90 degrees. To adjust the size of defiberized chicken pieces, a vertex of the cone is located on an outermost circumference of rotation of the device, and spaced an interval ranging from 5 to 30 mm, away from a surface of a silent cutter plate body 2, depending on the desired size to be defiberized. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a food processing apparatus for loosening cooked chicken as if torn.

As a device for loosening food, devices that rotate bars and blades and devices that operate comb teeth have been devised for the purpose of re-dispersing foods such as cooked rice that have become sticky and solidified. ing. Further, Patent Document 1 devises a device that cuts a bar-like food into a bowl shape using a twisted blade.
JP 11-28695 A

  Further, as a device for making food fine by cutting, a silent cutter, a food cutter, a slicer, a guillotine cutter and the like are generally known.

  One example of a dish in which heated chicken is broken by hand is a stick chicken. This is a processing method that leaves chicken fibers for a long time, and is characterized by the good appearance of meat that has become a long and thin fiber, and the texture is also different from that of simply cutting finely. However, unraveling by hand is very laborious and difficult to process in large quantities.

  In addition, the meat quality of the heated chicken is fibrous, but the muscle fibers are strongly bonded to each other, so that they cannot be pulled apart with a weak force, and cannot be loosened with a conventional apparatus using a comb blade. In the conventional apparatus using a bar, there is a problem in that if a strong force is used to loosen, a tapping force is generated and the meat is crushed. Moreover, in the conventional apparatus using a blade, it is possible to crush meat by using a strong force, but there is a problem that a cutting force is generated and the meat is shredded.

  Therefore, many mass-produced products are finely chopped, and the chicken fiber is short and the appearance and texture are not satisfactory.

  In the present invention, heated chicken is processed using a silent cutter provided with a blade whose main working part is a cone. The cone angle of the cone is preferably 10 degrees to 90 degrees. In order to adjust the size to be loosened, the position of the apex of the cone is set to the outermost periphery of the rotation, and a space of 5 to 30 mm is provided from the surface of the dish body according to the size to be loosened. .

  In the present invention, the blade whose main action part is a cone-shaped blade rotates powerfully at high speed, and the apex of the cone-shaped apex acts on the chicken that has been pierced and peeled off. It is also possible to loosen without crushing. Furthermore, by setting the position of the apex of the cone to be the outermost periphery of the rotation and opening the gap from the surface of the dish, most of the chicken loosened smaller than the gap is placed on the surface of the dish. It is possible to avoid unraveling excessively by spreading and escaping, and to adjust the unwinding size.

  Silent cutters rotate a dish that is recessed in a semicircular ring shape, and by rotating a rotating blade that is supported by a non-rotating base and installed in the recess at high speed, the vegetables and meat in the dish are thinned. It is an apparatus used for intermittent stirring. Although it is widely used in food processing facilities, the shape of the rotary blade is mainly crescent, and the outer periphery is processed into a knife-like knife, and the working part shreds the object by rotating in the direction of the knife. It has become.

  In the present invention, a blade having a conical main action portion is used instead of the crescent blade. With reference to FIG. 4 as an example, the main action portion is from the apex of the cone 1d of the rotary blade rotating in the A direction until the tangent line 3 on the surface of the cone on the rotation center side intersects the rotation center 4. The portion 5 is a portion for mainly performing a main action provided in a portion of the rotary blade mainly near the outer periphery of rotation.

  The cone shape generally means a cone shape (1b illustrated in FIG. 2) or a pyramid shape, but it may be substantially a cone shape, and a shape in which unnecessary portions are removed or deformed leaving a vertex (see FIG. 1a) illustrated in 1 may also be used. Furthermore, it may be a triangular flat plate shape (1c illustrated in FIG. 3).

  The thickness of the triangular flat plate is preferably 0.5 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 1 mm to 10 mm. If the thickness is too small, the cutting effect of the portion other than the apex becomes large, and there is a problem that the force for cutting the object becomes strong particularly when the cone angle is large. Moreover, when the thickness is too large, the cutting effect of the straight portion at the tip becomes large, and there is a problem that the force for cutting the object becomes strong particularly when the cone angle is small.

  With reference to FIG. 5 as an example, the cone angle in the present invention is a shape that generates a main action of piercing and peeling not in the apex angle X of the minute component provided at the tip of the cone 1e but in the entire main action part. The virtual apex angle Y of a substantial cone estimated from

  The cone angle of the cone is not limited, but is preferably 10 to 90 degrees. Furthermore, 15 to 45 degrees is preferable. If the cone angle is too small, the strength of the blade is weakened and the effect of peeling off after piercing is weakened. On the other hand, if it is too large, the crushing force and the cutting force will become strong instead of the unraveling force.

  The longer the back of the cone is, the better. Furthermore, 30 mm or more is preferable. On the contrary, the excessive length is limited by the rotation radius of the blade depending on the size of the plate, the restriction of the connection with the support portion to the rotation center, the strength, and the like, and is adjusted as appropriate.

  The number of blades attached to the rotary shaft and the rotation speed of the blades are not particularly limited. However, if the number of blades is too large or the rotation speed is too fast, the transfer speed of the object to be processed due to the rotation of the plate will be reduced. The unraveling effect becomes too strong, and the dish is too loosened by the process of rotating the plate once. In addition, if the rotational speed is too fast, the cutting force becomes strong and shredded, which is not preferable. If the rotational speed is slow, the unwinding effect is weakened. It is preferable to adjust the rotation speed and the number of blades and the rotation speed of the dish appropriately so that the processing can be completed when the dish rotates several times or more. Thereby, it is preferable that the loosening adjustment can be adjusted by adjusting the number of rotations of the plate, that is, the processing time.

  In the present invention, it is possible to adjust the size to be loosened by setting the apex of the cone to be the outermost periphery of the rotation and providing the gap B from the surface of the dish body 2. . Since the blade does not act on the gap, most of the chicken that has been loosened smaller than the gap spreads over the surface of the plate and is avoided from being excessively loosened by avoiding the action of the blade. Limit is adjusted.

  The gap is adjusted to 5 mm to 30 mm, preferably 10 mm to 25 mm, particularly preferably 15 mm to 20 mm. If it is smaller than 5 mm, all of them are loosened to a thin fiber shape, and the appearance and texture are not preferred. On the other hand, if it is larger than 30 mm, the chicken meat remains in a large lump shape, and even if the treatment time is lengthened, the loosening becomes uneven.

  The present invention relates to a rotating blade of a silent cutter, which is basically batch processing, but can be continuously used by using a deformed conveyor instead of a dish body or by installing a continuous feeding and continuous take-out device for a dish body. It can be a process.
