Description

  The present invention relates to a boiled noodle device installed in a commercial kitchen and used to boil soba and udon.

  Boiled noodle equipment used to boil raw noodles at various restaurants such as soba restaurants is a boiled net placed in a boiled kettle, put raw noodles in a boiled net and boiled with boiled kettle hot water, It is configured to take out the boiled noodles by reversing the boiled net. In many cases, the reverse of the boiled net is configured to be performed manually. However, in order to efficiently perform the boil-up operation, one that is configured to automatically reverse the boiled net has been developed (for example, patents). Reference 1).

  By the way, if you put multiple boiled nets in the boiled kettle, you can boil the noodles more efficiently, soba noodles and udon noodles, soba noodles and ramen noodles or normal udon noodles and boiled time It is also possible to boil noodles with different boil-up times, such as udon noodles, which are covered in a bowl. When such two boiled nets can be automatically reversed, for example, as described in Patent Document 2, each boiled net is attached or for reversing each boiled net. It is necessary to provide a drive device that drives the rotating shaft separately. Here, for example, each drive device can set the time interval for rotationally driving the corresponding reversing rotary shaft separately, so for example, boil the buckwheat noodles by shortening the boil time of one boiled net, It is also possible to boil the udon noodles that take a long time to boil the boiled net.

  However, since the boiled noodle device of Patent Document 2 employs a simple rotating shaft arrangement structure in which the reversing rotation shafts are arranged in the length direction, a drive device is provided on each reversing rotation shaft side. It is necessary, and the usability of the boiled noodle device becomes worse. That is, boiled noodle work such as throwing noodles into the boiled net is performed on the end side (front side) in the direction in which the rotating shaft for reversal extends. Therefore, the boiled noodle work becomes troublesome.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use boiled noodle device that can automatically reverse or rotate a plurality of boiled nets.

  The boiled noodle device of the present invention for achieving this object is a boiled noodle device for boiled soba noodles, a boiled kettle, a heater for heating the water in the boiled kettle, and the boiled kettle A rotary shaft disposed at the upper end portion or the upper end portion position, a drive device that rotationally drives the rotary shaft, and a first shaft that is attached to the first region in the longitudinal direction of the rotary shaft and disposed in the boiled pot.

The second rotating shaft 63 has a rod-shaped shaft main body 67 having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the first rotating shaft 61, and the shaft main body 67 penetrates the first rotating shaft 61. Are arranged as follows. An annular bearing 69 made of nylon is fixed to one end in the length direction of the shaft main body 67, and the annular bearing 69 is located in one end in the length direction of the first rotating shaft 61. The other end 71 in the length direction of the shaft body 67 is rotatably fitted in a nylon bearing 73 fitted to the bracket 21 on the front side. An outer pipe body 75 that forms the second region 27 is fitted between the first rotation shaft portion 61 of the shaft body 67 and the bracket 21 on the front surface side. The outer pipe body 75 has the same outer diameter and inner diameter as the first rotating shaft portion 61 and is connected to the shaft portion main body 67 in a non-rotating state at the other end in the length direction. To prevent the outer pipe body 75 and the shaft body 67 from rotating, a disk body 79 having an engagement projection 77 on the outer periphery at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the shaft body 67 is used. This is done by attaching the engaging projection 77 of the disk body 79 to the engaging recess 83 of the outer pipe body 75. Further, a cylindrical nylon bearing 87 having an outward flange 85 at the center in the length direction is fitted in an intermediate portion of the shaft body 67. The outer diameter of the bearing 87 is set to be the same as or substantially the same as the inner diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 61 and the outer pipe body 75, or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 61 and the outer pipe body 75. The outer diameter of the orientation flange 85 is set to be the same as or substantially the same as the outer diameter of the first rotating shaft portion 61 and the outer pipe body 75. One side in the length direction of the bearing 87 is interposed between the first rotating shaft portion 61 and the shaft portion main body 67, and the other side in the length direction of the bearing 87 is located between the shaft portion main body 67 and the outer pipe body 75. ing. The outer flange 85 is interposed as a bearing between the first rotating shaft portion 61 and the outer pipe body 75 so that the first rotating shaft portion 61 and the outer pipe body 75 rotate smoothly without direct contact. It is functioning. In FIG. 2, reference numerals 88 and 89 denote bearing retaining rings.

  A first drive disc 91 is fixed to the outer periphery of one end in the length direction of the first rotating shaft portion 61 that passes through the bracket 21 on the rear surface side and protrudes to one side of the bracket 21. A second drive disk 93 is fixed to the outer periphery of one end in the length direction of the shaft main body 67 protruding from one end in the length direction to one side. The upper end of the first drive link 95 is rotatably attached to the first drive disk 91, and the upper end of the second drive link 97 is rotatably attached to the second drive disk 93.

  The lower end of the first drive link 95 is fixed to the output shaft 101 of the first drive motor 99 (specifically, the output shaft connected to the motor output shaft of the first drive motor 99 via a speed reducer). The lower end of the second drive link 97 is rotatably connected to the first drive plate 103, and the output shaft 107 of the second drive motor 105 (specifically, the motor output shaft of the second drive motor 105 is connected via a speed reducer). The second drive plate 109 fixed to the connected output shaft) is rotatably connected. The first drive link 95 and the first drive motor 99 constitute a first drive unit, and the second drive link 97 and the second drive motor 105 constitute a second drive unit. Here, the rotation of the output shaft 101 of the first drive motor 99 causes the upper end portion of the first drive link 95 to move between the position A and the position B, so that the boil net 11 is reversed and accommodated in the boil hook 9. And repeat. Further, the rotation of the output shaft 107 of the second drive motor 105 causes the upper end portion of the second drive link 97 to move between the position C and the position D, so that the boil net 13 is reversed and accommodated in the boil hook 9. repeat. Therefore, since the first drive link 95 and the second drive link 97 do not interfere with each other, even if the distance in the length direction between the first drive disk 91 and the second drive disk 93 is set small, the first drive link The upper end of the ring 95 is attached to the outside of the first drive disk 91, the upper end of the second drive link 97 is attached to the inside of the second drive disk 93, and the upper end of the first drive ring 95 and the second drive link 97 are attached. Since the upper end portions of the two can be disposed between the first drive disk 91 and the second drive disk 93, the apparatus can be reduced in size.
