However, the conventional box-shaped nozzle has a problem that the konjac material cannot be formed into a wide band and discharged because the width of the nozzle in the longitudinal direction is limited. Was. The reason why the width of the box-shaped nozzle cannot be increased is as follows. That is, when the width of the box-shaped nozzle in the longitudinal direction is increased, the konjac raw material supplied from the manufacturing machine flows smoothly in the central portion of the box-shaped nozzle, but the konjac reaches the end of the box-shaped nozzle. The raw material is difficult to flow smoothly, and stagnation occurs at the end. As a result, the konjac raw material is gradually accumulated at the corners of the box-shaped nozzle, and the accumulated konjac raw material is mixed into a product as a lump, is intermittently discharged, and cannot be used as a product.

In view of the above-mentioned problems in the nozzle of the conventional konjac continuous automatic manufacturing machine, the present invention considers a konjac raw material that can be formed into a wide band in a uniform state and discharged. An object of the present invention is to provide a nozzle for a manufacturing machine.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a konjac raw material supplied from a pipe is diffused in a box-shaped nozzle arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the pipe, and then discharged from a slit-shaped opening. By making the konjac raw material in the form of a strip continuously, it is a nozzle of a konjac continuous manufacturing machine,
A partition plate formed in the box-shaped nozzle and provided along the longitudinal direction thereof so as to partition a space between an upstream side and a downstream side with a gap, wherein the edge of the gap side has an arc shape; A curved side surface formed at the upstream corner of the upstream recess formed by the plate and allowing the konjac raw material to flow without stagnation; and an inclined surface formed at the bottom of the upstream recess and shallow toward the curved side surface. And a curve formed at the bottom of the downstream recess formed by the partition plate and curved in the short direction of the box-shaped nozzle to connect the edge of the partition plate and the edge of the slit-shaped opening. A squash konjac nozzle for a continuous automatic manufacturing machine having a bottom surface.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the konjac raw material supplied to the box-shaped nozzle smoothly flows along the partition plate and the inclined surface to the longitudinal end of the box-shaped nozzle, and the curved side surface of the corner has a konjac raw material box. The smooth flow at the end of the nozzle, the arc-shaped edge of the partition plate, the average of the flow of konjac raw material flowing downstream from the partition plate, the konjac raw material flow averaged, along the curved bottom The fluid flows smoothly to the slit-shaped opening, and is thereby formed into a wide band shape, and is discharged from the slit-shaped opening.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a nozzle for an automatic plate konjac continuous production machine (hereinafter simply referred to as a production machine) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a right side view of FIG. In both figures, the nozzle N is composed of a first part 100 and a second part 200 which can be divided so that they can be disassembled and cleaned, and FIG. 3 shows only the second part 200 from the front.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a nozzle N is a box-shaped nozzle arranged in a direction orthogonal to the connection pipe 101 by supplying konjac raw material supplied from a connection pipe 101 screwed to a manufacturing machine (not shown). After being diffused in the inside, the konjac raw material in the form of a strip is continuously formed by discharging from the slit-shaped opening S.

First, the structure of the first component 100 will be described. The first part 100 includes a rear frame 102 located on the manufacturing machine side.

The box N is provided with a gap L in the nozzle N on the upstream side and the downstream side. A partition plate 105 made of a plate-like member is formed along the longitudinal direction of the box for partitioning.

As shown in FIG. 4, the upper edge 105a of the partition plate 105 is formed in an arc shape. Therefore,
At the center of the partition plate 105, the distance from the bottom surface 200a of the second component is small, and the distance increases toward the end of the partition plate 105. The corners 107 and 108 of the recess 106 sandwiched between the partition plate 105 and the rear frame 102 are formed so that the konjac raw material can flow without stagnation.
It is formed on curved side surfaces 109 and 110 without leaving any corners. Further, the corner side 107 of the bottom of the recess 106,
108 is inclined 111 and 112 (see FIG. 4) so as to be curved and shallow toward the side surfaces 109 and 110, respectively.

The bottom of the recess 113 on the downstream side of the partition plate 105 is formed on a bottom surface 114 (see FIG. 5) having a cross section curved in the short direction of the box body. Ten
