Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-238173

  In the boiled noodle device of Patent Document 1, the high-temperature air heated by the heater can circulate around the peripheral surface portion of the boiled kettle and efficiently heat the water (hot water) in the boiled kettle. In order to prevent the outer surface of the case from becoming high temperature in the case part that the worker may come into contact with because the case may be heated and heated due to contact with the heated air, For example, it is necessary to arrange a heat insulating material in a wide range. Therefore, the heating structure described in Patent Document 1 has a complicated apparatus configuration, and may not be a structure suitable for a small-sized or medium-sized boiled noodle device.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the boiled noodle apparatus which can make the structure inside a case simple.

  The boiled noodle device of the present invention for achieving this object is a boiled noodle device that boiles noodles such as buckwheat noodles, a case, a boiled kettle that supports the case, for example, a boiled net, and a crater A heater disposed in the case so as to heat the bottom surface of the boiled kettle by a flame ejected from the crater, and an exhaust passage for discharging the air heated by the heater. The bottom surface is formed with a bulging portion that bulges inward so as to form a heating chamber having a lower surface opening, and around the bulging portion, A groove is formed between the peripheral surface portion. The heater is disposed so as to heat the heating chamber, and more specifically, the crater portion (portion or tip portion of the mouth from which the flame is ejected) of the heater is disposed in the heating chamber. Heating by the heater is transmitted to the ceiling part and the peripheral wall part of the heating chamber, and heats the water (hot water) in the boil that is in contact with the ceiling part and the peripheral wall part. The formation of the bulging portion secures a wide range of heated portions, and the water (hot water) in the boiled pot is efficiently heated. In addition, since it is inside the heating chamber that is directly heated by the heater, it is unlikely that high temperature heat is transmitted from the heater to the case side. In particular, if the configuration is such that the heated air is exhausted from the end of the bulging part, more specifically, any part (for example, the rear part) of the peripheral wall part of the heating chamber is opened, and the exhaust passage If the inlet is connected to or close to the opening of the heating chamber (for example, the rear opening), the case side can be effectively prevented from becoming hot. The groove does not necessarily need to be configured over the entire circumference of the bulging portion.

  The bottom part of the boiled kettle is inclined to form an inclined part, and by heating this inclined part, it rises from the inclined part and descends to the horizontal part (the part where the bottom part is not inclined) to become the inclined part When returning convection is produced, it is a good idea to form the bulging part in the inclined part. Here, the crater part of the heater is arranged in a plurality of stages along the inclination direction of the inclined part, and the plurality of crater parts are provided so as to be inclined in parallel with the inclined part, so that the heating of the inclined part is efficient. It is preferable to be carried out automatically. That is, the crater portion is configured to be inclined and connected with the same inclination as the inclined portion.

  In order to increase the heat transfer efficiency, it is effective to install heat transfer fins in the heating chamber. It is effective to provide the heat transfer fins on the ceiling and the peripheral wall of the heating chamber.

  If the boiled pot is composed of a boiled pot main body and a bulging portion fixed to the boiled pot main body, the manufacturing efficiency of the boiled noodle device can be improved.

  In the present invention, it is possible to avoid the case from becoming hot during use with a simple structure or with a novel structure on the bottom side of the boiled pot.
