  That is, in the rotating sushi structure according to the present invention, first, a transport unit for circulating and transporting sushi can be divided. Therefore, the conveyance part of the rotary sushi machine having this rotary sushi structure becomes a plurality of base cases having a compact casing, and can be carried into, for example, a general household having a relatively narrow frontage. Thereby, for example, it is possible to provide a service for providing sushi at a home party or the like by bringing the sushi machine into a general home.

  In addition, since this rotating sushi structure includes a cooking unit on one side of the transport unit, it is also possible to provide authentic sushi held by a cook (for example, a sushi chef).

  Moreover, the counter unit provided on the other side of the transport unit allows the counter to be divided and assembled so as to correspond to the divided assembly of the base constituting the transport unit, so that it passes through a narrow place such as a general household entrance. At the same time, the counter protruding laterally from the transport unit does not get in the way and can be carried in and out easily.

  Moreover, the guide groove provided in the transport unit is formed of a resin having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and also functions as a water reservoir for collecting dust, water droplets, and the like. Therefore, when this rotating sushi machine is assembled at a general household and sushi is provided, for example, water drops and rice grains falling from the sushi plate are stored in the guide groove, so the indoor floor and carpet may be soiled. Absent.

  By the way, in a shop-type rotating sushi restaurant, if the desired sushi has passed the forward path in front of you, it is necessary to wait until the desired sushi passes in front of you again. Especially in large stores, the complete chain that passes in front of the restaurant is only in one direction (outbound only), and it is very difficult to find the desired sushi from all the sushi being transported. Therefore, it was difficult for a restaurant to predict when the desired sushi would be consumed.

  Therefore, in the rotating sushi structure according to the present invention, the transport unit is disposed between the cooking unit and the counter unit with the forward path and the return path, and the width between the forward path and the return path is approximately the length of an adult's arm. I am trying. Therefore, even if the sushi desired by the eater passes once on the outbound route, it can be seen again on the return route within a relatively short time, and even if the sushi is on the return route if an adult reaches out Since it can be picked up sufficiently, the desired sushi can be consumed at the desired timing.

Hereinafter, according to the following order, the rotating sushi structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(1) Overview of the rotating sushi structure (2) Transport section (i) Complete chain (ii) Guide groove (iii) Base (iv) Connection section (v) Connection layout of base case (vi) Slide of the complete chain Dynamic speed adjustment mechanism (vii) Tension adjustment mechanism of complete chain (4) Counter part (5) Cooking part (i) Cooking table (ii) Washing table (6) Summary

(1) Overall image of the rotating sushi structure First, the overall image of the rotating sushi structure will be described. FIG. 1 shows a state viewed from the top of a rotary sushi machine 1 having a rotary sushi structure according to the present invention.

  The rotary sushi machine 1 includes a cooking unit 4 that prepares food and drink such as sushi, and a counter unit 3 that is a place to eat sushi and the like prepared by the cooking unit 4, and the cooking unit 4 and the counter unit 3 Between the two, a conveying unit 2 that circulates and conveys sushi and the like prepared in the cooking unit 4 to the counter unit 3 is interposed.

  A guide groove 6 having a substantially U shape in cross section is engraved on the top plate 5 of the transport unit 2 so as to draw a circular orbit, and a complete chain 7 connected endlessly to the guide groove 6. Is slidably stored. That is, the complete chain 7 circulates while sliding along the guide groove 6.

  Therefore, as in the case of a full-fledged sushi restaurant of the store type, the complete chain 7 is circulated and conveyed so that the cooking unit 4 (kitchen) and the counter unit 3 (passenger seat) communicate with each other. Can be provided. In FIG. 1, only a part of the complete chain 7 is shown for the sake of explanation, but when circulating food and drink, a plurality of frames, which will be described later, provided with a mounting plate on the upper part can be bent. They are connected and endless.

  By the way, in a shop-type rotating sushi restaurant, it is usual to arrange the cooking unit 4 inside the ring formed by the complete chain 7 to be circulated and arrange the audience seat outside the ring.

  In such a case, from the viewpoint of the cook standing at the cooking unit 4, the complete chain 7 is disposed so as to surround the cook, so when grasping the amount of sushi and the type of material being circulated and transported The line of sight needs to be rotated once along the complete chain 7 so as to look around.

  On the other hand, in the rotating sushi structure according to the present invention, the trajectory through which the complete chain 7 circulates is a crushed annular trajectory, and is disposed between the cooking unit 4 and the counter unit 3 with an outward path and a return path. .

  Therefore, since the entire sushi being circulated and conveyed can be overlooked by slightly moving the line of sight, the cook can easily grasp the amount of sushi and the type of material being circulated and conveyed.

  Similarly, from the eating and drinking person of the counter unit 3, since it is possible to overlook almost the entire sushi being circulated, it is possible to easily determine where the desired sushi is located, You can enjoy watching colorful sushi being circulated.

  In addition, the width between the opposite path and the return path of the complete chain 7 is configured to be approximately equal to the length of the adult's arm. Therefore, even if the desired sushi has passed once in front of you, you can easily get it again on the return trip, and you can quickly eat it when you want to eat the sushi you want to eat .

  Moreover, although the conveyance part 2 is explained in full detail later, it is comprised by connecting a some base case. In other words, the transport unit 2 can be divided into a plurality of base cases.

  Therefore, it is possible to easily carry in the transport section not only at a party venue equipped with a carry-in entrance, but also at a general home with a relatively narrow frontage.

(2) Conveying unit (i) Complete chain Next, the complete chain 7 that slides in the guide groove 6 and conveys sushi and the like will be described.

  FIG. 2 a shows a view of a part of the complete chain 7 as seen from the back side. The completion chain 7 is constituted by connecting a plurality of pieces 11 having a placement plate 10 on which a sushi plate or the like can be placed.

  Further, the top 11 includes a mounting plate 10 having a substantially crescent-shaped cutout recess 12, a pulley shaft 13 projecting on the back side of the mounting plate 10, and a direction from the root of the pulley shaft 13 to the cutout recess 12 direction. The pulley support piece 14 extended in parallel with the mounting plate 10, the pulley support piece 14 rotatably coupled to the pulley 16 having the insertion hole 15, and the pulley 16 can be fixedly inserted into the pulley shaft 13. And a pulley holding piece 17.

  The tops 11 are connected to each other by first inserting the pulley shaft 13 of the other top 11 through the insertion hole 15 that communicates the pulley 16, the pulley support piece 14, and the pulley holding piece 17 of the top 11 with each other. . Then, the pulley holding piece 17 of the other piece 11 is curved against the elastic force, and the pulley 16 is inserted from the pulley shaft 13 through the insertion hole 15 at the end of the pulley holding piece 17. They are connected so as not to come off.

  By connecting a plurality of the frames 11 in this way to form the completion chain 7, the frames 11 can be separated from each other at an arbitrary position, and the length of the completion chain 7 can be freely adjusted.

  Further, since each connected piece 11 can be rotated to a predetermined angle, it can be flexibly adapted to the curve of the guide groove 6 and the completed chain 7 can smoothly slide in the guide groove 6. I am doing so.

(Ii) Guide groove Next, the guide groove 6 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows an end surface of the AA ′ portion of the rotary sushi machine 1 having the rotary sushi structure according to the present invention shown in FIG.

  The guide groove 6 also serves as a water reservoir so as to guide the sliding of the complete chain 7 and to collect water droplets and dust spilled from a sushi plate or the like.

  That is, in a store-type rotating sushi restaurant, the cross-section of the guide groove 6 on which the complete chain 7 slides does not generally have a bottom surface portion 22, and water drops and rice grains falling from the sushi plate or the like to the guide groove 6 It will fall to the floor surface under the base 21 and the base 21.

  However, in the rotating sushi structure according to the present invention, the guide groove 6 has a substantially U-shaped cross section and is provided with a bottom surface portion 22. The bottom surface portion 22 serves as a reservoir for collecting water droplets and rice grains. The falling water droplets and rice grains can be collected without soiling the floor and the rotary sushi machine can be kept hygienic and clean.

  In particular, the structure of the guide groove 6 provided with the bottom surface portion 22 does not pollute the floor surface of a general household when a rotary sushi machine is provided to a general household at home parties, etc. Can be saved.

  In addition, the length d indicating the width of the forward and return paths of the guide groove 6 is approximately the length of an adult's arm, and it can be easily obtained not only on the outward sushi plate but also on the return sushi plate. To be able to take.

  In other words, the eaters can pick up sushi etc. that pass the outbound route, and can also get sushi, etc. that pass the inbound trip, so there are more opportunities for eaters to get the sushi etc. that they want. Can be increased.
