Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for winding laver around a bales-shaped rice ball (rice ball).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it takes manpower to wrap seaweed around a bale-shaped rice ball. Therefore, a device was proposed to coat the seaweed on the upper surface and both sides of the seaweed by picking up the rice from the bottom of the seaweed stopped on the conveyor and supporting the seaweed inside the hole. There was a problem that it was displaced due to friction with the circumference and was displaced laterally or obliquely from the upper surface and both side surfaces of the rice ball.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to obtain a bale-shaped rice ball laver which can automatically wind the seaweed on the upper surface and both side surfaces of the bale-shaped rice ball without shifting. To do.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, the present invention places a rice ball on the upper end surface of a lifting rod, places seaweed on the upper surface of the rice ball, and uses a seaweed holding spindle that can be raised and lowered. While holding the seaweed on the upper surface of the rice ball, lift the inside of the lifting rice ball passing through hole by the upper rod, and then push the rice ball laterally along the upper surface of the base plate from the upper end opening of the through hole. Bale-shaped rice ball laver lavering method characterized in that an upright through hole is formed in the machine base, a seaweed bilateral support supply conveyor is provided above the through hole, and a lifting bar of rice ball is fitted in the through hole so that it can be moved up and down. A base plate with a lifting rice passing hole is provided directly above the conveyor, and a nori presser spindle is supported at the center of the passing hole so that it can be lifted and lowered, and it is held on the upper surface of the base plate. It is composed of a bale-shaped rice ball laver winding device in which an upper rice ball side push plate is provided so as to be slidable back and forth.

According to the present invention, the rice ball 2 is placed on the upper end surface 1'of the lifting rod 1 lowered to the upper surface level of the machine base 7. In this state, the seaweed 3 supported on both sides by the supply conveyor 9 is stopped by the stoppers 11, 11 just above the rice ball 2.

When the lifting rod 1 is raised in this state, the seaweed 3 on the conveyor 9 is pressed by the spindle 4 onto the central portion of the upper surface of the rice ball 2 (FIG. 5). When the lifting rod 1 further rises, the seaweed 3 and the rice ball 2 move up through the passage through hole 5 as shown in FIG. 7, and both side portions of the seaweed 3 are vertically bent by the wall surface of the passage through hole 5 and lifted. At the upper limit of lifting of the rod 1, as shown in FIG. 8, the rice ball 2 and the seaweed 3 are lifted together with the spindle 4 on the base plate 6 and stop rising.

When the inside of the passage through hole 5 is raised, since the central portion of the seaweed 3 is pressed by the spindle 4, a shift due to a frictional resistance difference between both side surfaces of the seaweed 3 and the inner wall of the passage through hole 5 occurs. No

After that, the lifted rice 2 is pushed in the lateral direction (arrow a) by the lateral push plate 10 and slides on the base plate 6. At that time, one side portion 3 ′ of the seaweed 3 hanging from one side surface of the rice ball 2 into the passage through hole 5 is bent along the upper surface of the base plate 6 in the direction opposite to the arrow a (horizontal direction). Since the rice ball 2 is laid on the lower surface and covers the lower surface, the seaweed 3 is wound on the upper surface, both side surfaces and the entire peripheral surface of the lower surface, and is removed from the base plate 6.

EXAMPLE A sushi rice intermittent rotation supply disk 13 is provided on a machine frame 12, and an upper surface of a stationary machine stand 7 is provided at the same level as or slightly lower than the upper surface of the disk 13. The machine base 7 is provided with an upright through hole 8, a seaweed both side supporting and feeding conveyor 9 is provided above the through hole 8, and the rice ball holding rod 1 is fitted in the through hole 8 so as to be vertically movable and lowered. At the lower limit, the upper end surface 1 ′ of the rod 1 is made to coincide with the upper surface of the machine base 7. The machine frame 12 is provided with a horizontal rotating arm 14 that intermittently reciprocates from above the disk 13 toward the upright through hole 8, and the rice sushi 2 on the disk 13 is held at the opening of the through hole 8 at the tip. It is adapted to be supplied onto the upper end surface 1'of the upper rod 1.

Both sides of the seaweed 3 are supported by the belts 9 ', 9'of the conveyor 9, and stoppers 11, 11 for stopping the seaweed 3 are provided directly above the through hole 8. The lifting rice passing through hole 5 is provided directly above the through hole 8 and the conveyor 9.
Is provided, and the passage through-hole 5 and the upright through-hole 8 are on the common center line c (FIG. 4).
Is slightly larger in diameter than the upright through hole 8.

Immediately above the upper end opening 5'of the passing through hole 5, the tip end of the lateral arm 15 provided on the machine frame 12 is extended, and the through hole bored in the lateral arm 15 is provided with the common center line c. A short upper spindle 4 is vertically slidably fitted, and a lower limit lower limit stopper 4'by its own weight is provided at the upper end of the spindle 4, and at the lower limit of lowering, the lower end surface of the spindle 4 is located directly above the middle of the belts 9'and 9 '. To support.

On the upper surface of the base plate 6, there is provided a lifting rice side pusher plate 10 which reciprocates on the upper end opening 5'of the passage through hole 5 in the direction of arrow a, and on the upper surface of the base plate 6, a lifting rod 1 is provided. The seaweed rolled rice 2 lifted by the upper end surface 1 ′ of the above can be slid on the upper surface of the base plate 6 and further dropped from the base plate 6 onto the carry-out conveyor 16 for unloading.

The bale-shaped rice ball 2 (musubi) placed and supplied on the upper end surface 1'of the lower lifting rod 1 is supported by the belts 9'and 9'of the conveyor 9 by the raising of the rod 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the seaweed 3 and the spindle 4 are lifted into the passage through hole 5, and both sides of the seaweed 3 are brought into the passage through hole 5.
It is bent downward in contact with the inner wall of the rice and covers the upper surface and both side surfaces of the rice ball 2 (the state is shown in FIG. 7). At that time, one side 3'of the seaweed 3 is arranged longer than the other side, and even if there is a difference in frictional resistance between the inner wall of the passage through hole 5 and both sides of the seaweed 3, the weight of the spindle 4 causes the center of the seaweed 3 to move. Since the portion is pressed against the upper surface of the rice ball 2, there is no risk that the seaweed 3 will shift in the lateral direction or the oblique direction in FIG.

At the upper limit of lifting of the lifting rod 1, the passing through hole 5
Since the upper end opening 5'of the rice pad 2 coincides with the upper surface of the base plate 6 and the rice sushi 2 projects on the upper surface of the base plate 6, when the horizontal push plate 10 is slid in the direction of arrow a, the rice sushi 2 also slides in that direction and the seaweed is dried. One side 3 ′ on the arrow a side of 3 can be bent along the upper surface of the base plate 6 to the lower surface of the rice ball 2 to cover the entire circumference of the rice ball 2 with the seaweed 3.
