Description

  The present invention relates to a noodle boiled pot used as a business boiled noodle machine. In particular, in a noodle boiled kettle that stirs noodles by hot water convection, the noodle is equipped with a mechanism that can supply hot water to an appropriate position depending on the state of the noodle boil work (boiled noodles, standing up, waiting, etc.) About boiled kettle.

  The boiled noodle device used in the udon and soba stores uses the boiling power of the hot water in the bath tub to cause convection to the hot water, and the noodles are boiled while being stirred and circulated. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). This type does not require the noodles to be stirred with a stirrer or the like, so the noodles are not damaged and the quality of the food is not impaired.

  When boiling noodles, especially thick-type udon in such a water bath, if the noodles are boiled to some extent, they will absorb moisture and float on the surface, and will not circulate in the water bath. In such a case, the inside of the hot water tank was manually stirred using a stirring tool.

Japanese Patent No. 2932048 JP-A-11-253121

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is a boiled noodle pot that can be boiled while stirring noodles using a rotating flow caused by boiling of hot water in a hot water tank. An object of the present invention is to provide a noodle boiled pot equipped with a mechanism capable of pouring hot water at an appropriate position in the stage.

  The noodle boiled kettle of the present invention is a noodle boiled kettle comprising a hot water tank for storing hot water for boiling noodles, and a heating means for hot water, wherein the position of supplying hot water to the hot water tank is far from the cooker ( A hot water supply plate that can be switched to the back side or the near side (front side) is provided.

  In the present invention, a hot water overflow port is provided on the front side of the hot water tub. When boiling noodles, hot water is poured from the front side of the hot water tub, and hot water is poured from the rear side of the hot water tub when waiting. Is preferred.

  According to the present invention, the position of supplying hot water can be switched to the far side (back side) or the near side (front side) from the cooker, so the situation of the noodle boil work (when boiled or standing up, The hot water position can be adjusted by waiting). For example, when noodles are boiled to some extent during cooking and contain moisture, and float on the surface without being circulated, hot water is supplied from the front side of the water bath. Then, the hot water in the hot water bath sinks on the near side, and the hot water circulates in the hot water bath and the noodles are well stirred. In addition, when the hot water is poured into the back side of the hot water bath during standby, the hot water once descends to the bottom and then rises toward the near side. The noodle residue etc. staying at the bottom of the hot water tank can be put on this flow and discharged from the overflow port on the near side of the hot water tank. Once the hot water supply position is set, the hot water is supplied from that position, and the circulation of the noodles in the hot water tank is continued, so that the cook does not need to be completely attached to the boiled noodles.

  In the present invention, the hot-water supply plate includes an edge member having a substantially U-shaped planar shape, and the edge member communicates with the left and right edge portions and the back end portions of the same portion and is supplied. A hot water supply port is provided on the back side and the front side of the left and right side of the left and right side, and the hot water supply port on the front side supplies the hot water supply on the back side. It is located at a position lower than the mouth and can be opened and closed.

  In this case, since hot water can be poured separately from the left and right channels to the left and right parts of the hot water tank, relatively uniform convection can be obtained in the left-right direction. Furthermore, since the overflow port is often provided at the center of the front flange portion of the hot water tank, hot water can be poured from a position where it does not overflow.

  In this hot water hot plate, the hot water member is installed in the hot water tank so as to receive water at the back. And when it is desired to pour hot water to the near side of the hot water tank, the hot water supply port on the near side is opened. In this state, the water that flows from the back side to the left and right side is supplied to the pot through the open front side supply port because the front side water supply port is lower than the back side water supply port. The When it is desired to pour hot water into the back side of the hot water tank, when the hot water supply port on the front side is closed, the water in the right and left side is supplied into the kettle from the back side hot water supply port.

  In this case, it is easy to work if the front side hot water supply port is opened and closed with a handle.

  Further, in the present invention, the hot-water supply plate includes a substantially U-shaped edge member in a planar shape, and the edge member communicates with the left and right edge portions and the rear side end portions of the same portion. A back side and a slightly wide central side on the front side of the back side, and the supplied water can be received by the back side or the center side, and A hot water supply port may be provided on the near side and on the near side of the center section.

  In this hot water supply plate, when it is desired to pour hot water on the front side of the hot water tank, the hot water member is installed in the hot water tank so as to receive the hot water at the back. In this state, the water that has flowed from the back part to the left and right parts is supplied to the front side of the hot water tank from the hot water supply port on the front side of the same part. When the hot water is to be poured into the back of the hot water tank, the hot water member is moved so as to receive the hot water at the central hot water portion, so that the hot water is supplied from the hot water supply port of the same hot water portion to the inner side of the hot water bath.

  As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the hot water supply plate is provided that can switch the position of supplying the hot water between the back side and the near side in the hot water tank. By using this hot water supply plate, once the hot water supply position is set, the hot water will continue to be supplied from that position, and the circulation of the noodles in the hot water bath will continue. The other work can be done and workability is improved. Furthermore, the noodle residue staying at the bottom of the hot water bath during standby can be discharged. Furthermore, in order to create a convection circulation flow, it is not necessary to increase the heating power unnecessarily, so an energy saving effect can be expected.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
First, an example of the overall structure of a noodle boiler (noodle boiled kettle) will be described.
FIG. 10 is a side view illustrating an example of the overall structure of the noodle boiler.
The noodle boiler 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped main body casing 2. An opening 2a is formed on the upper surface of the main casing 2, and a hot water bath 10 is detachably attached to the opening 2a. The periphery of the opening 2a of the casing is a drainage channel 4, and the drainage channel 4 on the near side is provided with a drainage port 4a. In addition, a main water supply port (not shown) and a hot water supply port 6 are provided on the back wall 2 b of the casing 2. The main water supply port is located above the hot water tank 10, and the hot water supply port 6 is located above the drainage flow path 4 on the back side.

  The hot water bath 10 has a square shape with an upper surface opened, and a flange portion 10a that projects outward is formed around the upper surface opening. This flange portion 10 a is placed around the opening 2 a of the main casing 2. An overflow port 10b is formed in the center of the front flange portion 10a. Further, a drain port (not shown) is formed in the bottom plate of the hot water tank 10.

  A burner chamber 5 is provided below the bottom side of the bottom surface of the hot water tank 10 in the casing 2, and the burner 3 is disposed below the chamber 5. In the casing, a bottom heating pipe 7 extending from the burner chamber 5 to the bottom lower side of the bottom surface of the hot water bath 10 is communicated with a back end of the bottom heating pipe 7, and the inside of the casing back wall 2b is directed upward. An extending exhaust passage 8 is formed. The air heated by the burner 3 heats the bottom surface of the hot water bath 10 when passing through the bottom heating pipe 7 from the burner chamber 5 and is exhausted through the exhaust passage 8 as shown by the white arrow in the figure. A spiral hot water heating pipe 9 is provided in the exhaust passage 8.

  A water supply pipe 11 a extending from a water supply cock 11 provided on the front surface of the casing 2 is connected to the lower end of the hot water heating pipe 9, and a hot water supply port 6 is connected to the upper end of the pipe 9. . The water sent from the water supply cock 11 through the water supply pipe 11 a to the hot water heating pipe 9 is heated by the heated air passing through the exhaust passage 8 and supplied from the hot water supply water inlet 6. Note that the water supply cock 11 is turned on and off manually by looking at the inside of the hot water bath 10.

In this noodle boiler 1, the air heated by the burner 5 is concentrated on the back side portion of the bottom surface of the hot water bath 10 at the bottom heating tube 7 provided below the bottom side of the bottom plate of the hot water bath 10. Heat. As a result, a circulating flow is formed in the hot water bath 10 as shown by the arrow in the figure, rising from the bottom on the back side toward the near side, and descending on the near side toward the back side.
In addition, although the example which used the burner as a heating means was demonstrated in this example, other than this, IH (electromagnetic induction heating) etc. can also be used.

Next, the structure of the hot water hotplate 20 will be described. The hot water hot plate 20 is for adjusting the position for supplying hot water to the front side or the back side of the hot water bath 10 depending on the boiled state of the noodles or the operating state of the noodle boiler 1.
FIG. 1 is a view for explaining the structure of a hot water plate used in a boiled noodle pot according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 (A) is a perspective view, and FIG. 1 (B) is a partial plan view. FIG. 1C is a partial side sectional view.
FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the movement of the hot water supply pipe of the hot water plate of FIG.

  The hot water bath plate 20 is detachably mounted on the flange portion 10a of the hot water bath 10 and is a member having a U-shaped planar shape as shown in FIG. The same member communicates with the left and right edge portions 21L and 21R placed on the left and right flange portions of the hot water bath 10 at the back end portions of the water bath portions 10 and on the rear flange portion of the hot water bath 10. It has the back part 21B mounted.

  Back side water supply ports 22L and 22R are formed on the inner walls slightly closer to the back from the center of the left and right lateral portions 21L and 21R, and water supply pipes 23L and 23R extending inward are provided in the same port. Further, front water supply ports 24L and 24R are formed on the inner side walls at the ends of the left and right vertical portions 21L and 21R. Here, the front water supply port 24 is formed at a position lower than the back water supply port 22. The difference in height between the front water supply port 24 and the back water supply port 22 is about 5 mm.

  The front side water supply ports 24L and 24R are provided with water supply pipes 25L and 25R extending inward. The water supply pipes 25L and 25R are L-shaped pipes as shown in FIGS. In the water supply pipe 25, a proximal end side pipe part 25a is rotatably attached through the inner side wall of the left and right vertical part 21, and a distal end side pipe part 25b protrudes into the hot water tank. In addition, the packing 26 is interposed from the both sides of the wall in the part which the base end side pipe part 25a has penetrated the inner wall of the right-and-left horizontal part 21. FIG. A handle 27 is fixed to an end portion of the proximal end side pipe portion 25a penetrating the inner wall. The handle 27 is accommodated in the end portion 21 when the distal end side pipe portion 25b faces downward (in a state where the tip (water supply port) of the pipe faces straight down, shown by a solid line in FIG. 2). It is fixed to the pipe. In this state, when the handle 27 is rotated in the forward direction as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2, the distal end side pipe portion 25b is displaced from a downward posture to an obliquely upward posture (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2). ).

  Since the water supply port 24 on the front side is positioned lower than the water supply port 22 on the back side, the water in the ridge portion 21 tends to flow out from the water supply port 24 on the front side. At this time, in a posture in which the distal end side pipe portion 25b of the water supply pipe 25 is directed downward, the water in the ridge portion 21 is drained from the water supply port 24 through the pipe 25. However, in the posture in which the distal end side pipe portion 25b of the water supply pipe 25 faces upward, water enters the proximal end side pipe portion 25a from the water supply port 24, but is not drained from the distal end side pipe portion 25b, and the rear side water supply port 22 Drained from. Thus, by rotating the handle 27, it is possible to switch between a state in which water can be supplied from the front side water supply port 24 and a state in which water cannot be supplied. You can switch to

Next, the hot water supply method using the hot water hot water plate 20 at the time of standing up (when the water in the hot water bath starts to be heated), boiled noodles (boiling), and idle time (at the time of standby) is as follows. explain.
3A and 3B are diagrams for explaining a hot water supply method at the time of rising, in which FIG. 3A is a top view and FIG. 3B is a side sectional view of the whole boiled noodle pot.
At the time of rising, the water in the hot water bath 10 is not boiling and the hot water is not reduced, so no hot water is required. However, in order to heat the hot water to a predetermined temperature in advance, it is necessary to flow water from the hot water supply port 6. Therefore, the hot water tap 11 (see FIG. 10) is opened and the hot water is kept flowing from the hot water supply port 6. And it is necessary to drain the hot water directly.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), the hot water supply plate 20 may remain on the flange portion of the hot water bath 10. In this state, the hot water supplied from the hot water supply port 6 flows down directly into the drainage flow path 4 on the back side. And as shown to FIG. 3 (A), (B), it drains from the drain outlet 4a through the drainage flow path 4 as it is.

4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining a hot water method during cooking. FIG. 4A is a top view, and FIG. 4B is a side cross-sectional view of the whole noodle boiled pot.
During cooking, the hot water in the hot water tank 10 boils and a circulating convection occurs in the kettle, and the noodles are boiled while being agitated. Hot water is required to strengthen this circulation and stirring. Although the thick noodles are boiled to some extent and contain water, they tend to float on the surface without rotating in the hot water tank, but the circulating convection is strengthened by the hot water and the floated noodles also circulate.

  Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the hot water supply plate 20 is pushed and slid, and the back ridge portion 21B is positioned directly below the hot water supply port 6. Further, the near water supply pipe 25 is set to a hot water pouring posture. That is, the handle 27 is rotated by the handle 27 so that the water supply port of the pipe 25 faces downward. In this state, the hot water supplied from the hot water supply port 6 flows down to the back portion 21B and flows from the same portion 21B into the left and right side portions 21L and 21B as shown in FIG. Here, since the back side water supply port 22 is at a position higher than the front side water supply port 24, the water in the left and right side ridges 21 takes the water supply pipe 25 that takes a hot water pouring posture from the front side water supply port 24. It passes through and is supplied to the front side of the water bath 10.

  The hot water supplied to the front side of the hot water bath 10 is about 50 ° C. and is lower than the temperature of the hot water in the hot water bath 10, and as shown by the arrow in FIG. Since this direction is the same as the above-described circulation convection, it is possible to strengthen the force for circulating the noodles so that they sink in front of the hot water bath 10. Moreover, since hot water is supplied to the vicinity of the left and right ends of the hot water bath 10, there is an effect that a relatively uniform downward flow can be obtained in the left-right direction.

  When the rotational flow is strengthened by the hot water, an energy saving effect can be obtained as compared with the case of rotating without the hot water. For example, if the heating power when rotating without a hot water is 10 kW, the hot power is 8.5 to 9 kW if the hot water is supplied to the front side. When the noodles are thick, it is necessary to boil them for about 25 minutes.

5A and 5B are diagrams for explaining a hot water supply method during standby (idle time), in which FIG. 5A is a top view and FIG. 5B is a side sectional view of the whole noodle boiled pot.
Since hot water is maintained in a state before boiling (output is lower than during cooking) even during standby, evaporation occurs and hot water is required. However, an active rotating flow during cooking is not necessary.

  In this case, the hot water supply plate 20 is in the same installation state as during cooking, but the water supply pipe 25 on the near side is set to a hot water unpreferable posture. That is, the water supply pipe 25 is rotated by the handle 27 so that the water supply port faces upward. In this state, the water flowing into the left and right side portions 21L and 21B from the back side portion 21B does not flow out from the front side water supply port 24 because the water supply pipe 25 on the front side is in a position where the hot water cannot be poured. The water is supplied from the water supply port 22 through the water supply pipe 23 to the inner side of the hot water bath 10.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (B), the hot water supplied to the back side of the hot water bath 10 is heated after being lowered in the hot water bath 10 and raised to the near side because the rotating flow in the hot water bath 10 is not active. By this flow, the noodle waste remaining above the bottom plate of the hot water bath 10 can be raised and discharged from the overflow port 10b.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view for explaining another example of the structure of the hot water supply plate.
The hot water supply plate 30 of this example is also a rectangular member having a U-shaped planar shape, and has left and right edge portions 31L and 31R, and an inner edge portion 31B that communicates with the inner edge of each of the edge portions. . Hot water supply ports 32L and 32R that open inward are formed at the front ends of the left and right side portions 31L and 31R. In this example, a slightly wider center trough (crest) 31C is formed on the front side of the back trough 31B. A hot water supply port 32C is opened in the center on the near side of the bottom surface of the center port 31C. In addition, a drain port 33 is opened in the back corner of the bottom surface of the central center portion 31C. The drain port 33 is opened and closed by a slidable lid member 34.
The hot water bath plate 30 has left and right side portions 31L and 31R on the left and right flange portions of the hot water bath 10, the back side portion 31B rides on the back side flange portion, and the central side portion 31C is on the back side of the hot water bath. It is installed so as to cover.

  Next, the hot water supply method using the hot water hot plate 30 at the time of standing up (when the water in the hot water bath starts to be heated), boiled noodles (boiling), and idle time (standby time) is as follows. explain.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), the hot water supply plate 30 is pushed and slid, and the drain port 33 of the central base 31C is positioned directly below the hot water supply port 6. Then, the lid member 34 is slid so that the drain port 33 is opened. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the hot water supplied from the hot water supply port 6 flows down to the drainage flow path 4 on the back side through the drainage port 33 of the center portion 31C of the hot water supply plate 30. . And as shown to FIG. 7 (A), (C), it drains from the drain outlet 4a through the drain flow path 4 as it is.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 8A, the hot water supply plate 30 is slid slightly forward, and the back portion 31 </ b> B is positioned directly below the hot water supply port 6. In addition, it is preferable that the lid member 34 is slid so that the drain port 33 of the center portion 31C is closed. In this state, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), the hot water supplied from the hot water supply port 6 flows down into the back portion 31B, and as shown in FIG. 8 (A), left and right from the same portion 31B. It flows into the neck portions 31L and 31R. And as shown to FIG. 8 (B), (C), it supplies to the near side of the hot water tank 10 from the hot water supply port 32L, 32R of the front-end | tip of the right-and-left horizontal part 31L, 31R.
