Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food manufacturing apparatus, when cooking foods such as pan-fried needles and pan-fried rice noodles, capable of preventing foodstuffs from being unevenly cooked or burnt by preventing entanglement of the foodstuffs around a stirring device.SOLUTION: A food manufacturing device 1 includes a pot 2, and a stirring device 4 capable of stirring foodstuffs to be inserted in the heating pot 2. The stirring device 4 includes a rotary shaft 5, an entanglement prevention member 6 fixed to a lower end of the rotary shaft 5, and a stirring member 7 extending from the entanglement prevention member 6 towards the radially outward of the rotary shaft 5. The entanglement prevention member 6 regulates gathering of the foodstuffs 3 to the rotation center of the rotary shaft 5.

Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing foods containing noodles such as fried noodles, fried rice noodles, spaghetti, pasta, and the like, particularly when these noodles are stirred with a stirrer, and the cooking unevenness caused by the noodles entangled with the blades. The present invention relates to a food production apparatus that prevents scorching and a stirring apparatus used in the apparatus.

  Conventionally, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-14563 (Patent Document 1), a food production apparatus has been proposed in which ingredients such as fried noodles put into a heating kettle are agitated by an agitator.

  However, when trying to produce foods such as fried noodles using this device, the ingredients get entangled in the stirrer, and the ingredients move in the heating kettle together with the stirrer. There are drawbacks such as cooking unevenness and burning.

  Therefore, in order to prevent foodstuffs from getting tangled in the stirring device, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-275401 (Patent Document 2) discloses that a rotary cooking pot having an inner surface with stirring blades is rotated while being heated, and the cooking pot is used. There is disclosed a cooking device configured to scoop up and drop foodstuffs put into the inside with stirring blades. However, in this apparatus, since a plurality of stirring blades are provided on the inner surface of the cooking pot, cleaning work is not easy, and once the inner surface of the heating pot is burned, it is very difficult to remove the burn. Furthermore, when such a cooking pot is used, a large amount of oil is required because it is necessary to supply oil to the entire inner surface of the cooking pot. Moreover, since the rotating shaft of the cooking kettle is horizontal and the cooking kettle is rotated while heating the lower surface of the cooking kettle, the heating area is small, and therefore the temperature rise of the cooking kettle is slow. Furthermore, such a cooking device is provided with a stirring blade in the pot, so that the structure is complicated and the price is high.

  The shape and material of the entanglement preventing member 6 are not particularly limited. For example, the entanglement preventing member 6 is formed of a triangular plate material, a rectangular plate material, a conical member, a cylindrical member, a cube, or the like made of a metal having corrosion resistance such as stainless steel. can do. In this embodiment, the entanglement preventing member 6 is formed by bending a metal plate such as a triangular stainless steel plate into an S shape as shown in FIGS. A recess 12 is formed at the upper edge of the entanglement preventing member 6, and the lower end of the rotating shaft 5 is inserted into the recess 12 and fixed by a fixing method such as welding.

  In the case where the entanglement preventing member 6 is formed of a triangular plate material, a regulating portion 11 that is inclined downward from the upper part of the entanglement preventing member 6 toward both ends is formed at the edge of the entanglement preventing member 6. The entanglement preventing member 6 has a function of pushing the food in the heating pot 2 outward in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 5 by the rotation of the stirring device 4. That is, the food material put into the heating pot 2 is restricted from approaching the rotation center of the rotating shaft 5 by the restricting portion 11 of the entanglement preventing member 6.

  In this embodiment, the base portion 8 of the stirring member 7 is curved in the reverse direction with respect to the rotation direction R of the stirring portion 9 material, and the base portion 8 has an S shape or an inverted S shape in plan view.

  The stirring portion 9 is curved following the base portion 8. The pulling portion 10 formed at the tip of the stirring portion 9 is inclined upward with respect to the bottom surface 21 of the heating pot 2.

  Further, when viewed in a plan view, the attracting portion 10 is at an angle θ1 with respect to the radial line L centered on the rotation shaft 5 toward the rotation shaft 5 and in a direction opposite to the rotation direction. Inclined towards.

  When the drawing unit 10 rotates in the heating pot 2, the food in the heating pot 2 is drawn toward the center of the stirring device 4 and simultaneously moved upward of the heating pot 2.

  The stirring member 7 of the stirring device 4 can be formed by bending a plate material, a round bar or the like. The surface of the stirring member 7 can be coated with Teflon (registered trademark).

  In this embodiment, the bottom surface 21 of the heating pot 2 has a horizontal bottom surface 21, and the base portion 8 of the stirring member 7 is disposed with a clearance from the bottom surface 21 of the heating pot 2. The entanglement preventing member 6 is fixed on the base portion 8 by welding or the like.

  The distance between the stirring member 7 and the bottom surface 21 of the heating pot 2 can be adjusted to a predetermined distance depending on the size of the heating pot 2, the amount of food, the ingredients, etc. Preferably 8 to 15 mm. If this interval is too small, the ingredients may be crushed or the ingredients may not be sufficiently stirred. If this interval is too large, the ingredients may be mixed with the stirring member 7 and the inner surface of the bottom plate 21 of the heating pot 2. In some cases, the ingredients cannot be sufficiently stirred. However, depending on the kind of foodstuff, this space | interval can also be made small and you may make the stirring member 7 adjoin to the bottom face 21. FIG.

  The rotating shaft 5 of the stirring device 4 configured as described above is fixed to the lower end of the drive shaft 35, and the stirring device 4 is disposed in the heating pot 2. With this configuration, the stirring device 4 rotates in the heating pot 2 by the rotation of the drive shaft 35 by the operation of the control unit provided in the device.

  The base 8 and the stirring unit 9 of the stirring member 7 rotate and move in the heating pot 2 along the bottom surface 21 of the heating pot 2 with a predetermined interval. Further, the pulling portion 10 of the stirring device 4 moves up in the heating pot 2 in a state where it rises up at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the bottom surface 21 of the heating pot 2 and inclines in a direction opposite to the rotation direction.

  Ingredients (including seasonings and ingredients as appropriate in addition to ingredients such as noodles) that have been put into the heating pot 2 are rotated around the agitator 4 by the rotation of the agitator 4 at first. It is gradually loosened and stirred.

As shown in FIG. 6, the food 3 is moved in the center direction A of the heating pot 2 by the pulling portion 10, but when the food 3 hits the entanglement preventing member 6, the food 3 moves in the direction B away from the rotating shaft 5. 3 is pushed away. In this way, the entanglement preventing member 6 does not push the food 3 to the outer side in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 5 so that the food 3 such as noodles is not entangled with the rotating shaft 5. When a certain food 3 is moved toward the rotation axis 5, the food 3 is effectively stirred. In addition, the rotating shaft 5 may be rotating, or may be rotating and revolving.
