Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a useful sieving machine for scoring a target soup from animal-based soup materials such as pork bones and chicken gulls mainly in specialty ramen shops.

  In general, the flavor of ramen soup is derived from medullary extract eluted from animal soup materials (so-called genkotsu) such as pork bones and chicken gulls, and Japanese-style dashi and seasoning are added to this soy sauce flavor. Various soups, such as miso and salty tastes, have been produced. In any case, in order to elute the above-mentioned marrow extract, it is necessary to boil the animal-based soup material for a long time.

  Therefore, the ramen specialty store puts the above-mentioned animal-based soup material as a base into an appropriately sized pan, and simmers it for a long time after being soaked in hot water. Or adding cabbage, onions, other vegetables, fruits, seasonal vegetables, dried food, spices, seasonings, etc.

  Also, as it is boiled, the animal soup ingredients lose their shape and many soft medulla fragments escape, becoming muddy mucus that becomes sticky to the bottom of the pan. Because it can no longer be made, the above soup ingredients are exposed to steam in order to boil the dashi evenly, and are stirred.

  And finally boiled broth (filter material) is squeezed with stalks and squeezed as ramen soup (filtrate) with a sieve mesh, while unnecessary pork bones, chicken rattles, and other solids remaining on the sieve mesh In this case, the caking-like lump-like semi-solid matter (filter lump) is discarded.

  In this regard, the following Patent Documents 1 and 2 have been proposed as a soup manufacturing apparatus and a bone soup material generating apparatus for saving labor for a long and hard work by manpower.

JP 2008-22837 A JP 2009-136199 A

  The frustoconical mesh (6) described in Patent Document 1 is designed to block and retain heavy objects such as bones larger than the mesh, and to pass through fine materials, but in a stationary state from start to finish. Because it is fixed and maintained, it is a filtering action that only settles naturally, so even a small gelatinous medullary piece of animal-based soup material (genkotsu) that has been boiled down and pulled out, becomes a caking mass and becomes a net ( It is inevitable that it adheres and accumulates on the bottom surface (6a) and (6b) of 6) and is clogged, and the small soft medulla of the soup material cannot be effectively sown as an umami component of the soup.

  On the other hand, the mesh cage (23) described in Patent Document 2 is also fixed and maintained in a stationary state inside the tank (20). Therefore, the rotary centrifuge of the cutting rods (17) and (18) and the cutting blade (19) is used. Combined with the force, the bone fragments finely cut by the cutting rods (17), (18) and the cutting blades (19) adhere to and accumulate on the trunk surface of the mesh rod (23) and the tank (20). As a result, the net koji (23) is clogged, and the sputum of the genkotsu cannot be effectively sown as the flavor of the soup, forcing it to be discarded.

  The present invention aims to drastically solve such problems. In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a mounting frame having a built-in rotary drive motor and a soup reception unit mounted at the center of the upper surface of the frame. As a pair of tanks, and a pair of facing each other that sandwich the soup receiving tank from the periphery of the upper surface of the frame, a rotating shaft that is suspended substantially in parallel and its bearing tube, and a lower end portion of either one of the two rotating shafts The endless chain, belt, gears, and other transmission means that are connected to the upward output shaft of the rotary drive motor, and both rotary shafts are fitted to the upper end of the soup receiving tank that is vertically taller than the top of the opening. A pair of integrated rotating top flanges and pivotally connected to both rotating top flanges via a pair of eccentric shafts, Consists of a serial broth receiving substantially so that the horizontally traversed strained arms Ring network holds the opening top of the tank,

  The scissors net, which is removably locked from above the central frame of both arm rings, is set so as to reciprocate circularly by the rotary drive motor.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a soup receiving tank provided with an open / close cock for a soup discharge port is attached and fixed to the center of the upper surface of the installation frame.

  Further, the present invention is characterized in that the soup receiving tank is provided with one hand or both hands and is detachably / replaceablely mounted on the center of the upper surface of the installation frame.

  According to the above configuration of claim 1, the sash net is detachably locked from above to the central frame of the sash mesh holding arm rings that cross the upper surface of the opening of the soup receiving tank. The locked sushi net is reciprocated circularly by a rotary drive motor to repeatedly give vibrations (sieving action), so that the bone marrow fragments and other fine details in animal soup materials that are filter media It can prevent solids from becoming caking and clogging, and clogging of the scouring nets, and without losing these wastes, the same as the liquid dissolved from the bone (medullary extract) As an umami ingredient of soup, it has the effect of being effectively brewed, which helps to save labor and improve the efficiency of sieving.

  In particular, if the configuration of claim 2 is adopted, the screen mesh in the state of being locked to the center frame of the screen mesh holding both arm rings is composed of a cone-shaped wire mesh, so that it is reciprocated repeatedly by a rotary drive motor. When it is circularly moved, the boiled soup (solid-liquid mixture), which is the filter material inside, moves in the horizontal direction of the front, back, left and right, and at the same time, moves up and down the conical surface of the sushi net, You will be in contact.

  As a result, not only the target liquid (medullary extract) from the above-mentioned boiled juice (filter material), but also a variety of various solids and semi-solids that become umami components as the boiled small soft bone marrow pieces and other ramen soups. The solid matter can be surely squeezed and collected without clogging the sushi net (thus remaining in the net and eventually being disposed of).

  Such an effect is achieved by adopting the structure of claim 3 to select the mesh of the tanned mesh within an allowable range of 20 mesh to 60 mesh, or to set the rotational speed of the rotating shaft three times per second. It can be further improved by controlling the inverter as ~ 7 times.

  In addition, since the above-mentioned sushi net has a conical saucer shape, an unnecessary solid or semi-solid substance remaining in the inside of the sushi net can be scooped out by a handle or removed by turning over the sushi net. In doing so, there is also an effect that these can be crushed and dropped completely along the conical surface of the screen.

  If the structure of Claim 4 is employ | adopted, the misalignment or dropping of the tanning net | network during the use can be prevented by latching the hook of the tanning net | network to the center frame of both arm rings. Both have the effect of allowing the user to conveniently and easily engage and disengage the scissors net with respect to the center frame of both arm rings by holding one hand or both hands attached to the scissors net.

  Further, if the configuration of claim 5 is adopted, the opening and closing cock of the soup receiving tank is kept open during the sieving operation, and the soup of the target object that has been scoured is separated from the soup discharge port of the soup receiving tank. Can be transferred directly to a soup collection container, which helps improve workability.

  On the other hand, if the configuration of claim 6 is adopted, the tank can be removed from the upper surface of the installation frame with one hand or both hands attached to the soup receiving tank, and the soup that has been smeared off at the desired location can be removed from the tank. It is convenient to take out and clean the tank.
