The torque motor has a large starting torque and a drooping characteristic, which enables stable operation especially at low speeds and restraints. Therefore, since the forming belt 11 is wound around the back tension roller 12 by the torque of the torque motor, the winding tightening force (winding strength does not depend on the type or amount of the material T forming the winding center. ) Can be stably adjusted to the desired strength.

  In the present embodiment, by operating the touch panel 10 described above, the winding tightening force of the ingredients T can be adjusted in a plurality of stages (for example, three stages of “strong, medium, weak”). That is, by operating the touch panel 10, the magnitude of the torque of the first drive motor M1 can be set in a plurality of stages. Then, in the control unit 8, the first drive motor M <b> 1 is rotated at an applied voltage corresponding to the torque corresponding to the tightening force of the ingredient T set on the touch panel 10. As a result, since the forming belt 11 is wound around the back tension roller 12 with the set torque, the winding tightening force of the material T according to the desired set torque can be obtained.

  However, the magnitude of the torque of the first drive motor M1 may not be adjustable with the initial value, and the tightening force of the material T may not be arbitrarily adjustable on the touch panel 10.

  In such a winding portion A2, the first drive motor M1 and the second drive motor M2 are driven by the control unit 8 described above, and the back tension roller 12 and the drive roller 13 are rotated forward or reverse to tension or form the forming belt. By loosening and driving the support member drive motor and the opening and closing motor M3 to cause the support member 14 and the opening and closing roller 15 to perform predetermined operations, the sushi material spread and placed on the forming belt 11 is wound and rolled sushi Is manufactured.

  That is, after tensioning the forming belt 11 by the back tension roller 12 and the driving roller 13 and placing the rolled sushi material with the support member 14 at the first position, the support member 14 is turned to the second position to form the forming belt. Drop the sushi ingredients on 11th. Next, after the forming belt 11 is closed by the opening and closing roller 15 so as to wrap the part including the ingredients T of the rolled sushi material by swinging the swinging arm 16b, the forming belt 11 is wound by the back tension roller 12 Form a winding center with ingredients T. Then, the formed belt 11 is fed out from the back tension roller 12 and while the forming belt 11 is taken up by the drive roller 13, the rolled sushi is manufactured by winding the ingredients T with the sheet-like rice R and sheet-like nori.

  Next, a process of manufacturing a rolled sushi by the control unit 8 of the rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus A according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described using FIGS.

  Here, FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a part of the rolled sushi manufacturing process in the rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a winding following to FIG. 6 in the rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a sushi manufacturing process, FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a rolled sushi manufacturing process following FIG. 7 in the rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing a sushi roll manufacturing process following FIG. 8, FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing a sushi roll manufacturing process following FIG. 9 in the sushi roll manufacturing device according to the present embodiment, FIG. FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing the rolled sushi manufacturing process following FIG. 10 in the related rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus, FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing the rolled sushi manufacturing process following FIG. 11 in the rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment, FIG. 12 is made by the rolled sushi in the rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment. It is an explanatory diagram showing a process.

  First, rice R such as sushi rice is put into the hopper 1 and the power switch SW1 is turned on, and the operation switch SW2 is turned on by pushing both hands.

  As a result, after the boiled rice R in the hopper 1 is unwound by the rotation of the blade 3 and is unfolded in the uncooked portion 2, the roller unit 4 is gradually compressed into a sheet shape and fed out. It is divided. The back tension roller 12 and the drive roller 13 rotate in accordance with this timing, and the sheet previously laid on the forming belt 11 is reciprocated back and forth in a state where the forming belt 11 is tensioned and held horizontally. The divided sheet-like cooked rice R is supplied on the sheet-like nori. At this time, the support member 14 is in the first position, and the first surface 14c-1 of the support portion 14c horizontally supports the forming belt 11 from below, and the open / close roller 15 is positioned near the holding roller 28 doing.

  Then, when the cooked rice R is supplied to the forming belt 11, the ingredients T are placed on the cooked rice R to make a rolled sushi material. The state at this time is shown in FIG.

  After the sushi roll material is prepared, the operation switch SW2 is turned on again by pushing both hands. When the operation switch SW2 is turned on, the operation described below is executed in the winding unit A2 under the control of the control unit 8.

  That is, in the first step shown in FIG. 7, the back tension roller 12 and the drive roller 13 are rotated in the direction in which the forming belt 11 is fed out by the first drive motor M1 and the second drive motor M2 to make the forming belt 11 concerned. To relax. At the same time, the support member 14 is turned from the first position to the second position by the support member drive motor to cause the forming belt 11 to sink and the rolled sushi material placed on the forming belt 11 is dropped.

  In the second step shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the swinging arm 16b is swung by the opening and closing motor M3, and the forming belt 11 is closed by the opening and closing roller 15 so as to wrap the portion including the ingredients T of the rolled sushi material. (Figure 8). After that, the back tension roller 12 is turned over by the first drive motor M1 to wind the extra-drawn forming belt 11, thereby reducing the gap around the ingredient T to be the center of the rolled sushi and forming the winding center ( Figure 9).

  In the second step, the amount of closing of the forming belt 11 by the open / close roller 15 is controlled so that the forming belt 11 is in the closing position (first closing position) where it does not contact the sheeted rice R.

  Here, as described above, since the torque motor is used for the first drive motor M1, the constant torque corresponding to the winding tightening force (winding strength) of the material T set on the touch panel 10 is used. As a result, the winding amount of the forming belt 11 changes in accordance with the type and the amount of the material T. Then, when the winding is completed, the rotation of the first drive motor M1 is stopped. Therefore, regardless of the type and amount of ingredients T, the tightening force of ingredients T corresponding to the torque of the torque motor can be obtained, and the strength of the produced rolled sushi can be stably and appropriately It becomes possible to adjust.

  Now, if the winding center is formed by the ingredients T in this manner, in the third step shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the forming belt 11 is wound by the driving roller 13 and the forming belt 11 from the back tension roller 12 is formed. The ingredients T are rolled with sheet-like rice R and sheet-like nori to produce a rolled sushi.

  In this third step, as shown in FIG. 10, while the ingredient T is being wound, the closing amount of the open / close roller 15 is set as the above-mentioned first closing amount, and as shown in FIG. After winding the ingredients T with the cooked rice R and the sheet-like laver, the opening / closing roller 15 is set so that the forming belt 11 is in the closing position (second closing position) where the closing amount is larger than the first closing position. Control the amount of closing by

  The closed position of the forming belt 11 by the open / close roller 15 may not be controlled to the first closed position and the second closed position as described above, but may be left at the first closed position.

  Here, in the process of winding the rolled sushi material from the second step to the third step described above, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the first surface 14 c of the support 14 c of the support member 14. Although 1 is in contact with and supported by the back surface of the forming belt 11, a gap is formed between the second surface 14c-2 of the same support portion 14c and the forming belt 11. Therefore, in the process of winding a series of rolled sushi materials, the portion (rolled portion) where the rolled sushi material of the forming belt 11 is rolled and rounded is restricted while the downward movement is restricted by the second surface 14c-2. Slightly pivoting up and down with the face 14c-1 of the That is, the degree of freedom of movement is given to the winding portion of the forming belt 11 around which the sushi material is wound. As a result, the forming belt 11 is smoothly wound up and a rolled sushi of a beautiful shape is manufactured.

  Once the rolled sushi has been produced, in the fourth step, the swinging arm 16b is swung in the direction opposite to the second step, and the open / close roller 15 is moved to open between the closed portions of the forming belt 11. Subsequently, the forming belt 11 is tensioned by the back tension roller 12 and the driving roller 13 and the supporting member 14 is set to the first position to push up the rolled sushi for taking it out (FIG. 13).

  As described above, according to the rolled sushi manufacturing apparatus of the present embodiment, since the torque motor is used for the first drive motor M1 that rotationally drives the back tension roller 12, molding is performed with a constant torque of the torque motor. The belt 11 is wound up, and when the winding is completed, the rotation of the first drive motor M1 is stopped. Therefore, regardless of the type and amount of ingredients T, the tightening force of ingredients T corresponding to the torque of the torque motor can be obtained, and the strength of winding of rolled sushi can be stably and appropriately adjusted. Becomes possible.
