Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a noodle cutter for forming a recess in a noodle string, and a shape of a recess in the noodle string.

Noodles such as buckwheat noodles, noodles, or ramen are kneaded by adding water or the like to buckwheat flour or wheat flour to form flat band noodles, which are cut into thin strips to make noodle strings. You can boil this noodle string and add another soup or ingredients to eat.
In this case, if the noodle strings are thin, they can be easily entangled with the soup and can be eaten deliciously, but the feeling of chewyness when the noodle strings are thick is lost. And in order to make it easy to get involved with the soup without making the noodle strings thin, it is conceivable to increase the surface area of the noodle strings by changing the cross-sectional shape of the noodle strings.

As a method of changing the cross-sectional shape of the noodle strings, a V-shaped groove 105 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the noodle strings 103 as in the following Patent Document 1 (FIG. 3B), as in Patent Document 2 There is a type in which concave and convex grooves 107 are formed in the longitudinal direction of the noodle strings 103 (FIG. 3C). By forming the grooves 105 and 107 in this manner, the noodle strings can be easily entangled with the soup to some extent.
JP 08-317766 JP 07-194325

However, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when the grooves 105 and 107 are formed in the longitudinal direction of the noodle strings 103, when the noodle strings 103 are lifted by chopsticks, the soup flows down along the noodle strings 103. End up. For this reason, the noodle strings 103 could not be so easily entangled with the soup.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a noodle cutter, a manual noodle cutter, and a noodle cutter that can make a noodle strip that can be easily entangled with soup. Objective.

  In order to solve the above problems, the first invention is a noodle cutting machine that cuts out a plurality of noodle strings by passing a band noodle between a pair of rotating cutting blade rolls, and is coaxial with the cutting blade roll Between a plurality of circular disk-shaped blades arranged in the axial direction at intervals of the width of the noodle strings, and between the two disk-shaped blades adjacent to each other in the axial direction provided on one of the cutting blade rolls, The disc-shaped blade provided on the other cutting blade roll is formed in contact with the gap to form the cross-section of the noodle strings, and a plurality of independent recesses are formed in the circumferential surface of the disc-shaped blade on the noodle strings. A noodle cutter characterized by having a plurality of convex portions to be formed.

  The second invention is a manual noodle cutting machine that cuts strip noodles and cuts the noodle strings, at a position away from the straight blade edge by the thickness of the noodle, perpendicular to the vertical surface of the blade and parallel to the blade edge. A manual noodle cutter comprising: a parallel surface provided; and a plurality of convex portions formed on the parallel surface and forming a plurality of independent concave portions on the noodle strings.

  A third invention is a noodle string characterized in that a plurality of independent recesses are formed.

  According to the first, second, or third invention, the soup is held in the independent recesses by forming a plurality of independent recesses on the surface of the noodle strings. Therefore, when the noodle strings are grasped and lifted by the chopsticks, the soup does not flow down along the noodle strings, and the noodle strings and the soup are more easily entangled and can be eaten more deliciously.

Moreover, according to 1st invention, the noodle string in which the several independent recessed part was formed in the surface can be automatically cut out in large quantities.
Moreover, according to the second invention, even with a manual noodle cutter, a noodle string having a plurality of independent recesses formed on the surface can be easily produced.

One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3A, the noodle strings 3 cut by the noodle cutter 1 according to this embodiment have a plurality of independent recesses 5 formed on the upper and lower surfaces. The concave portion 5 has an inverted conical shape that narrows from the surface toward the inside.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the noodle cutter 1 has a pair of cutting blade rolls 7 that rotate. The pair of cutting blade rolls 7 have rotation axes parallel to each other and rotate close to each other. A plurality of noodle strings 3 are cut out by passing flat band noodles between these cutting blade rolls 7.

  Each cutting blade roll 7 has a plurality of circular disk-shaped blades 9. That is, each disk-shaped blade 9 is circular, is provided coaxially with the cutting blade roll 7, and is arranged in the axial direction at intervals of the width of the noodle strings 3. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a plurality of conical convex portions 11 are provided on the peripheral surface of the disk-shaped blade 9.

  And the noodle cutting machine with the disk-shaped blade 9 provided on the other cutting blade roll 7 in contact between the two disk-shaped blades 9 provided on the one cutting blade roll 7 and adjacent in the axial direction. 1 is assembled. By rotating in contact, the noodles are cut and become noodle strings 3. Further, a rectangular gap 19 is formed by the inner surface 13 of the two adjacent disk-shaped blades, the peripheral surface 15 of the other disk-shaped blade 9 and the upper surface 17 of the original band noodle.

    As shown in FIG. 1 (C), the band noodle is cut into the noodle strings 3 and passes through the gap 19 to form a cross section of the noodle strings 3. At the same time, the convex portions 11 formed on the peripheral surface 15 of the disk-shaped blade 9 are pushed into the upper surface or the lower surface of the noodle strings 3 to form a plurality of independent concave portions 5.

"Effect of the embodiment"
According to this embodiment, a plurality of independent inverted conical recesses 5 are formed on the surface of the noodle strings 3. This independent recess 5 is not opened in the planar shape of the surface of the noodle strings 3 like the groove of the prior art, and is closed, so that the soup is sufficiently held. Therefore, when the noodle strings 3 are picked up with chopsticks and lifted, the soup is caught in the recesses 5 and the soup hardly flows down along the noodle strings 3. For this reason, the noodle strings 3 and the soup are more easily entangled and can be eaten more deliciously.
That is, the soup is entangled with the surface tension of the noodle recess 5, and the soup enters the mouth simultaneously with the noodle. For this reason, it can be solved that the noodles are delicious and the soup is delicious, but the soup taste does not come when the noodles are rinsed.

  Further, by rotating the pair of cutting blade rolls 7 and allowing the band noodles to pass therethrough, a large amount of the noodle strings 3 having a plurality of independent recesses 5 formed on the surface can be automatically cut out.

"Other embodiments"
In the above embodiment, the noodle strings 3 having a plurality of independent recesses 5 formed on the surface are automatically made by the noodle cutter 1, but in other embodiments, a manual noodle cutter is used. It may be made. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a metal base portion 25 is fixed to the tip of a straight blade edge 23, for example, like a normal noodle cutting knife 21. The bottom surface of the base portion 25 is a parallel surface 29 provided parallel to the blade edge 23 at a position perpendicular to the blade vertical surface 27 at a position away from the blade edge 23 by the thickness of the noodle. A plurality of convex portions 11 are formed on the parallel surface 29.

  Then, when band noodles are placed on a table such as a cutting board and cut with this manual noodle cutter, a plurality of independent recesses 5 are formed on the upper surface of the cut noodle strings 3 by these protrusions 11. . Therefore, the noodle strings 3 having a plurality of independent recesses 5 formed on the surface can be easily produced.

  In the above embodiment, the concave portion 5 has an inverted conical shape. However, in other embodiments, the shape of the concave portion 5 is not limited, and may be a polygonal pyramid shape, a cylindrical shape, a polygonal column shape, a hemispherical shape, or the like. It doesn't matter.
