であるか調理途中であるかを問わない。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is a method of relatively divide the large amount of soft type food in large number of parts of relatively small amount (e.g., single serving), and to the device intended. In the present invention, the soft state is, for example, cooked rice, ground meat, potato salad,
It is a general term for foods that are soft enough to be easily deformed and divided when an external force is applied, and that have a shape-retaining property that does not flow even when the mass is left standing. It does not matter whether it is already cooked or in the middle of cooking.

Then, during the cooking or immediately before the completion of the cooking, the food is divided into packaging unit amounts such as one serving. As such an automatic machine for the division work, a constant displacement type (also called a filling type) is practically used.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional example of a fixed volume rice cooker dividing apparatus. A straight cylindrical measuring box 2 is connected to the lower end of the hopper 1, and a shutter 2a that is opened and closed as indicated by arrows ef is provided at the lower end. At the upper end of the measuring box 2, a plate-shaped cutter 2b driven as shown by an arrow gh is provided. The shutter 2a is closed in the direction of arrow e, the cutter 2b is retracted in the direction of arrow h, and the cooked rice 3 in the hopper 1 is pushed into the measuring box 2 as shown by arrow D, and the cutter 2b is driven in the direction of arrow g. After dividing the cooked rice above and below the cutter 2b, the shutter 2a is opened, and the cooked rice 4 in the measuring box 2 is discharged onto the conveyor 5,
It is transported in the direction of arrow i.

動信頼性に不安を生じる。Now, suppose that the rice grains of the uncooked rice are weighed by the apparatus according to the prior art shown in FIG. 4, and the rice grains weighed and discharged onto the conveyor 5 are partially flowing. Although the outer shape is broken down, no other inconvenience occurs. However, when the rice is quantitatively divided as shown in FIG. 4, the following problem occurs. (A) For example, soft food such as cooked rice does not have fluidity, so cooked rice 3 in hopper 1 does not flow into measuring box 2 even when cutter 2b is opened. (B) Thereupon, the rice cooker 3 in the hopper 1 is pushed in the direction of arrow D by some auxiliary means (not shown) to
Must be packed inside. If, for example, a screw conveyor is set up in accordance with arrow D as the above-mentioned auxiliary means, rice is kneaded to make dumplings. (C) Even if the rice in the hopper 1 can be sent in the direction of arrow D and packed in the measuring box 2 by providing some auxiliary means for kneading or kneading the rice, the measuring The density of cooked rice in 2 changes, and even if a fixed volume of cooked rice is divided, the cooked rice does not always have a constant weight. In this case, if the stuffing force is set to a small value, the variation in the weight of the cooked cooked rice 4 is large, and the function of quantitative division is not performed. Increasing the stuffing power makes rice rice a rice ball and changes the flavor. (D) Further, there is a problem of stickiness in soft food. Although the adhesive strength varies depending on the type of food, for example, even if the shutter 2a is opened in the direction of arrow f in FIG. 4, cooked rice packed in the measuring box 2 does not easily fall. In order to drop this, means other than those shown in FIG. 4, such as applying vibration or opening the measuring box (constructing it in a divided form and butterflying it), must be taken. The structure is complicated, large and expensive, and the operation reliability is uneasy.

The hopper 6, the discharge roller 7, the supply conveyor 9, the leveling roller 10, the cutter 11, and the weighing conveyor 12, which are denoted by the same reference numerals in the schematic diagram (FIG. 1), have the same components as those in the schematic diagram. It represents. These members are installed on a base 15, and a part 15a of the top surface of the base 15 also serves as a work table. A control unit 16 receives an output signal of a load cell (not shown in FIG. 2; see FIG. 1) provided in the weighing conveyor 12 and operates the cutter 11 as described later in detail. The feeding speed of the supply conveyor 9 and the weighing conveyor 12 is controlled. FIG. 3 is a table in which changes in the load of the load cell 13 (see FIG. 1) with time are recorded in one example in which the method of the present invention was performed using the apparatus of the above embodiment. Next, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the hopper 6 includes a discharge roller 7 as an ejector, and gradually releases the soft food put into the hopper 6 and drops the food on the supply conveyor 9. The term “gradual release” means that the soft food 8 dropped onto the supply conveyor and discharged so that the stacking height H of the soft food 8 does not become higher than the position of the central axis of the roller 10a. The released soft food is leveled sequentially by leveling rollers 10a, 10b, 10c,
It is roughly shaped so that its thickness T is substantially constant. The soft food thus shaped is sequentially sent onto the weighing conveyor 12. Time t 0 shown in FIG. 3 is a time when the soft food is fed onto the weighing conveyor 12, that is, a time when the weighing by the load cell 13 is started. After a lapse of the start time point t 0, feed conveyor 9 and the measuring conveyor 12 is operated at a preset reference speed, until time t 1, the load detected signal linearly in direct proportion to the time of the load cell 13 It increases. At time t 1 when the detected load (Y coordinate value in FIG. 3) of the load cell 13 approaches a predetermined constant weight W, the control unit 16 to which the detection signal of the load cell 13 has been input is supplied to the supply conveyor 9 and the weighing conveyor 12. Decrease the transport speed. Thereby, the slope of the curve of FIG. 3 becomes small at the point of time t 1 and gradually approaches the load W. When the value of the detection signal of the load cell 13 is W
In time t 2 which is equal to, the control unit 16 further reduces the conveying speed of the feed conveyor 9 and the measuring conveyor 12, or together with the temporarily stopping, cutter drive means provided in conjunction with the cutter 11 (shown (Omitted) is operated, and the soft food is divided by the cutter 11. Thus, the portion on the weighing conveyor 12 is divided by the weight W. Then, after the division is completed, at time t
The food 14 which has been increased in speed and divided and quantified is quickly carried out in the direction of arrow j. Restoring the reference speed of the at time t 3 in this example, is carried out at time t 0 '. Then, the unloading time is the start time t 0 ′ of the weighing / dividing operation of the soft food fed into the weighing conveyor 12 in the next cycle.
