Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glue making machine that can automatically make glue simply by adding glutinous rice and water.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a conventional sticky machine employs a method of steaming sticky rice which has been sufficiently absorbed and then bouncing it. FIG. 3 shows an example. In FIG. 3, the glue rice which has been sufficiently absorbed (the glue rice is soaked in water for about 12 hours) is put into the batter container 6 provided in the main body 1, and at the same time, a heater 51 provided below the batter container is provided. Add water to the boiler 50 according to the amount of glutinous rice. And first heater 51
The rice is steamed by the steam generated when electricity is supplied to it.
Next, when the steam has evaporated, the bend motor 21 is turned, and the speed reduction mechanism 52 is turned on.
A splash 10 at the bottom of the container is turned in tandem with it to make it easy to rotate.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, conventionally, glutinous rice had to take a long period of time of water absorption of about 12 hours, and there was a major drawback in that it was not possible to immediately eat glutinous rice. In addition, in the case of the method of heating after steaming, if the water absorption time is not taken, it becomes hard and lumpy.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is an improvement on the above drawbacks, and is a rice cooking method in which materials such as washed glutinous rice and an appropriate amount of water are put together in a batter container, and is preheated, stirred, cooked, cooled, battered. The above steps are executed in that order in order to make a mochi. It also specifies the specific means of execution.

Action The material in the batter is absorbed in the preheating step, moves in the stirring step, is converted to α in the rice cooking step, excess water is removed in the cooling step, and tends to be lifted in the baking step. During the process, specific control of the torsion motor, heater, and fan is performed according to the program of the controller.

It is fixed in the middle case 5 so as to be located along 30, and the protruding portion 131 is covered so as to be covered by the duct 501. 21 Pulling force is reduced by the spring motor.
23, the belt 24, the large pulley 25 to the lower shaft 27 to transmit to the splash 10. 28 is a controller including a switch, a microcomputer and the like. 29 is a handle provided on the outer lid.

The operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

The outer lid 2 is opened, and a spring 10 is fitted to the upper end of a shaft 9 in the batter container 6 taken out of the main body case 1. Next, the washed glutinous rice and water according to the amount of glutinous rice are put into the twisting container 6, inserted into the middle case 5, and the container base 7 at the bottom of the twisting container 6 is fitted and fixed to the receiving stand 26. At this time on the coupling
11 and the lower coupling 12 are connected. Next, when the outer lid 2 is closed and the switch of the controller 28 is turned on, the operation is performed in accordance with the program sequence (not shown) of the microcomputer (the steps of preheating, stirring, cooking, cooling and battering) in FIG.

First, in the preheating process, the heater 13 is energized and the temperature sensor 14
At first, all the power is supplied and then the intermittent power is supplied so that the bottom temperature of the twisting container 6 becomes about 100 ° C. which is just suitable for water absorption. Further, the fan motor 18 is energized so as to heat evenly, and the fan 17 is turned to circulate the air (heat) in the middle case 5. In this preheating step, glutinous rice absorbs water sufficiently.

In the next agitating step, an electric power is supplied to the torsion motor 21 to eliminate unevenness due to the position of the sticky rice in the torsion container 6, and the rice is agitated by turning the spring 10 slowly. At this time, the duty ratio of the torsion motor 21 is set to about 5% so as not to crush the sticky rice, and the rice is gently rotated. Then, the process moves to the next rice cooking process.

In the rice cooking process, the heater 13, the torsion motor 21, and the fan motor 18 are all energized. However, the heater 13 is controlled by the temperature sensor 14 so that the container bottom temperature is about 120 ° C., and the heater 13 is fully energized at first and then is turned on and off intermittently. When the heater 13 is off, the torsion motor 21 is energized at an appropriate time to rotate more strongly. In this step, the glutinous rice is evenly heated by the fan 17 and is further strongly stirred by the splash 10 to cook evenly.

In the next cooling step, only the fan motor 18 is energized for cooling. This is a step of releasing excess heat and moisture and preventing sticking. Further, the next torsion process is performed.

In the twisting process, the twisting motor 21 is 100% energized and rotated well and strongly.
Going to the last. The fan motor 18 is also energized and continues to release excess heat and moisture. Then, when it is completed, a buzzer (not shown) notifies the user of the completion. Thereafter, the outer lid 2 is opened, and the entire container is taken out from the middle case 5, and the rice cake is taken out from the container.

The microcomputer program of the controller 28 is selected from conventionally known programs. In addition, there is no significant difference in effect if the temperature of each step of preheating and rice cooking and the duty ratio of the torsion motor are within the upper and lower ranges of 10%.

Effect of the Invention According to the present invention as described above, water and sticky rice are put together in a batter container, and preheating, stirring, cooking, cooling, and performing the respective steps of battering are performed, so that there is no unevenness. It can be made in a short time when you want to have rice cakes.
