DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism, and more particularly, to a mixing / stirring used when mixing and kneading food, for example, konjac paste, with water and lime to prepare a konjac kneaded product. The present invention relates to a mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism used in a kneading apparatus and connected to a hopper for supplying raw materials.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a "konjac paste kneading apparatus" as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-104687 has been known, and is connected to a supply port of a hopper to mix raw materials. A stirring kneading cylinder mechanism is provided.

The above-described conventional mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism has two kneading shafts rotatable in a cylinder main body, and each kneading shaft has a number of kneading blades projecting at different angles. The two kneading shafts rotate and revolve at the same time as rotating, and knead the raw materials by the action of the kneading blades.

In the above-described conventional mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism, the number of kneading shafts set in advance cannot be changed thereafter, and the rotation direction of each kneading shaft is always opposite to the revolving direction. The rotation speed and the revolution speed were always in proportion to each other.

[0005]

As described above, the number of kneading shafts to be installed is changed, the rotation direction of the kneading shaft and the revolving direction are made the same or opposite, or the rotation speed and the revolving speed are changed. Since the speed and the speed cannot be selected independently and freely, kneading conditions are limited, and as a result, there is a problem that the properties of the material to be kneaded are limited.

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above problems, the number of kneading shafts can be easily changed, the rotation direction and the revolution direction of the kneading shaft can be freely selected, and the rotation speed and the revolution speed can be freely selected. And a mixing / stirring / kneading mechanism capable of freely and independently selecting the mixing / stirring / kneading mechanism.

[0007]

Means for solving the problems of the present invention is to provide a plurality of kneading shafts having a number of kneading blades protruding around the kneading shaft. A bearing member that is rotatably supported without collision with each other is installed so as to be integral with the support cylinder and can be exchanged, and is engaged with the support cylinder to rotate the bearing member, thereby forming the kneading shaft. A revolving shaft pulley for revolving the revolving shaft, a revolving shaft pulley for revolving the kneading shaft by rotation adjacent to the revolving shaft pulley, and forming a gear portion at an end of each kneading shaft. The mixing and stirring kneading cylinder mechanism is characterized in that a drive gear that can be meshed with the rotating shaft pulley is integrally provided with the rotation shaft pulley.

[0008]

According to the mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism of the present invention described above, the rotating shaft pulley and the revolving shaft pulley are separately provided, so that different rotation speeds and rotation directions can be selected for both pulleys. The rotation direction and the revolving direction of the kneading shaft installed in the cylinder main body can be freely selected, and at the same time, the rotation speed can be freely selected.

Further, the bearing member for supporting the kneading shaft of the present invention is usually prepared for about 2 to 6 shafts, and can be engaged with the supporting cylinder at any time according to the raw material to be kneaded. The structure is such that it can be released and easily replaced with another one, which has a feature that the assembling process is particularly facilitated in an assembling factory.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a mixing / stirring / kneading apparatus 1 provided with a mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism A of the present invention. Reference numeral 2 denotes a hopper for storing raw materials. 4a is connected in a communicating manner.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism A is installed in two stages.
It is appropriately selected from about three steps. In the example of FIG. 1, the raw material that has reached the discharge port 5a of the first-stage kneading cylinder main body 3a is introduced and kneaded into the second-stage kneading cylinder main body 3b via the receiving port 4b, and the second-stage discharge port 5b It is discharged through the discharge pump 6. This discharge speed is
It is determined by the discharge pressure of the discharge pump 6.

Next, the details of the mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism A will be described.
Are provided, and a number of kneading blades 12 are protruded from each kneading shaft 11. The size, shape, mounting interval, mounting angle, and the like of the kneading blades 12 are freely selected.

The kneading shafts 11 are rotatably supported by bearing members 13, so that the kneading blades 12 can rotate freely without colliding with each other in the kneading cylinder main body 3a. The raw materials can be kneaded.

The bearing member 13 is integrally formed with the support cylinder 14 by using a jig as appropriate, and the integrated state can be freely released as needed.

A plurality of types of the bearing members 13 are prepared depending on the number of kneading shafts 11 supported therein. In any case, the outer dimensions of the bearing members are always the same. Therefore, no matter which number of the bearing members 13 are engaged, it is always possible to perform integral connection with the support cylinder 14.

Further, before shipping the mixing / stirring / kneading apparatus to the factory, a bearing member 13 for the kneading shaft which meets the conditions of the place where the mixing / stirring / kneading apparatus is to be used is selected in advance, and this is assembled and set on the existing support cylinder 14. Thus, the mixing / stirring / kneading cylinder mechanism can be completed easily.

Next, the above-mentioned support cylinder 14 is engaged with a revolution shaft pulley 15, and this revolution shaft pulley 15 is moved from a first motor pulley 16a to a timing belt
The power is transmitted via a and the like.

Further, a rotation shaft pulley 18 is provided at a position adjacent to the revolution shaft pulley 15, and power is transmitted to the rotation shaft pulley 18 from a second motor pulley 16b via a timing belt 17b and the like. It has become.

A drive gear 19 is integrally connected to the rotation shaft pulley 18, and a gear portion 20 meshing with the drive gear 19 is formed on the kneading shaft 11. This gear portion 20 is formed on each kneading shaft 11, and each gear portion 20 is
Since the rotational power of the drive gear 19 is equally transmitted to each kneading shaft, each kneading shaft rotates in the same direction and at the same speed to perform the kneading operation of the raw materials. become.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the rotation speed and rotation direction of the rotation shaft pulley 18 and the revolution shaft pulley 15 can be independently selected.
A condition determined by the properties of the raw material, that is, a case where it is better to make the rotation direction and the rotation direction the same direction and a case where it is better to make the rotation direction the opposite direction can be used properly.

Further, it is possible to selectively use the case where the faster revolution speed is better and the case where the faster revolution speed is better.

[0022]

According to the present invention, the rotation speed and the revolution speed can be freely selected, and the rotation direction and the revolution direction can be freely selected. Therefore, an apparatus most suitable for the raw material to be used is provided. There is an excellent effect that, when assembling the mechanism, simply preparing the same kneading cylinder main body and supporting cylinder body, it is possible to respond to orders for several types of kneading shafts.
