Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to improvement of a bucket of an automatic boiling noodle device used for automatically manufacturing boiled noodles sold at supermarkets, convenience stores, and the like.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 An automatic boiled noodle device is usually a cylindrical body mainly made of stainless steel wire mesh, and two buckets that run in parallel with a bucket with an openable lid on the upper surface in the longitudinal direction are opened. A large number of buckets are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction between chains and in the moving direction of the conveyor chain. Raw noodles are put in the buckets, passed through hot water as it is, and boiled. It is a thing.

Explaining this bucket further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, both end faces (2) of a stainless steel wire mesh (1) curved in a substantially U-shaped cross section are closed with stainless steel plates to extend in the longitudinal direction of the inside. A plurality of partition plates (3) (3) ... Made of stainless steel are separated from each other to form a plurality of divided chambers (4) (4). Next, a stainless hinge (7) is welded and fixed to the upper end edge (6) of one long side surface of the bucket body (5), and the long open / close lid (8) is welded and fixed to the hinge (7). A coil spring (9) is provided between one end of the opening / closing lid (8) in the longitudinal direction and one end surface (2) of the bucket body (5), and the state when the opening / closing lid (8) is closed. It is attached so that it can be held and the open state can be maintained even when the open / close lid is opened. This coil spring may be provided at both ends of the bucket.

Such a bucket moves along with the movement of the conveyor chain in the boiling noodle device, and the long open / close lid (8) is automatically opened at a predetermined position by a mechanism from the outside. The raw noodles lumped at the pouring position are dropped into each of the division chambers (4) in the bucket, and immediately thereafter, the opening / closing lid (8) is automatically closed and sent to the hot water.

However, when the raw noodles are put into the bucket, the opening / closing lid (8) is opened as shown in FIG. 6, but the edge (10) to which the hinge (7) of the opening / closing lid is attached and the bucket. Since a gap (11) is formed between the body and the upper edge (6) as well, noodles may fall out from this gap (11), and the weight of one boiled noodle will be insufficient and the product It was easy to be defective. In addition, the buckets are arranged side by side with almost no space between them in order to improve productivity, and the width of the upper end surface of the bucket, that is, the opening surface is smaller than the maximum width of the central part of the bucket in the upper and lower directions, and the bucket is opened and closed. Since the opening angle of the opening / closing lid is almost vertical when the lid is opened, the area of the opening cannot be made larger than before and there is a problem that it is difficult to put raw noodles.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a result of studies in view of the above problems, the present invention provides a bucket that has a wide opening for raw noodles and does not fall out when the raw noodles are loaded.

That is, the present invention relates to a tubular horizontal net-shaped bucket made of wire mesh, which has an opening formed on the upper surface in the longitudinal direction and is provided with a long opening / closing lid that can be opened and closed, on one long side surface of the bucket. A long edge that forms one edge of the opening is formed in the upper part except the upper end, and a rotation axis is provided on the long edge to attach the edge of the long opening / closing lid, and when the opening / closing lid is opened. A feature is that no gap is formed between the long edge and the edge of the opening / closing lid. At this time, the long side edge forming one edge of the opening is alternately provided with the main body side holding portion for holding the rotary shaft and the main body side void portion where the rotation shaft is exposed, and the end edge of the long open / close lid. The cover side gripping part for gripping the rotating shaft and the cover side gap for exposing the rotating shaft are provided alternately, the main body side gripping part is fitted into the cover side void, and the cover side gripping part is inserted in the main body side gap. Opening / closing lid that is fitted into the main body side and rotatably holds the rotary shaft between the main body side holding part and the lid side holding part, and is rotatably attached to the long side edge of the long side surface forming one end edge of the opening. It is good to bend at the upper end position of the long side surface.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, the stainless steel wire mesh is curved in a U-shaped cross section with a bulged central part, and the upper edge (20) of one long side surface is lower than the upper edge (21) of the other long side surface. An opening is provided to form raw noodles, both end surfaces (2) and (2) are closed with stainless steel plates, and twelve division chambers (4) (4) ... for storing raw noodles are created inside. For this purpose, 11 stainless steel partition plates (3) (3) are provided in the longitudinal direction, and one is provided to reinforce the stainless wire mesh at the positions of the upper edges (20) (21) and the partition plates (3). The bucket body (22) was constructed by fixing the reinforcing plate processed from the stainless steel plate from the outside. Next, a pipe-shaped main body side gripping portion (23) was provided along the lower upper edge (20) of the bucket main body (22). That is, the main body side grip portion (23) and the main body side gap portion (24) where the main body side grip portion is not provided are alternately provided along the upper edge (20).

As shown in FIG. 2, a long open / close lid (25) for closing the opening on the upper surface of the bucket body shown in FIG. 1 is mainly composed of a stainless wire mesh whose cross section is bent in a substantially V shape. Reinforcing plates, which were machined from one stainless plate, were fixed to the periphery and a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction to reinforce the stainless wire mesh. Then, along the long end (26) of the opening / closing lid (25) corresponding to the lower upper end (20) of the bucket body, a pipe-shaped lid-side grip (27) and the grip (27) are provided. , And the voids (28) on the lid side, which are not installed, are provided alternately. At this time, the body-side gripping portion (23) of the bucket body is fitted into the lid-side void portion (28) of the opening / closing lid without fail, while the lid-side gripping portion (27) of the opening / closing lid is fitted into the body-side void portion of the bucket body. Insert the rotary shaft (29) into these grips (23) and (27) as shown in Fig. 3, and fit between the opening and closing cover (25) and the bucket body (22). A coil spring (9) was bridged over the rotary shaft (29).

According to the bucket of the present invention obtained by assembling such an opening / closing lid, the state shown in FIG. 4 is obtained when the opening / closing lid is opened, so that the conventional bucket rotates the lid as shown in FIG. The opening width is wider than when the center is on the upper end of the long side of the bucket. In addition, the opening (A) on the surface (A) of the opening / closing lid (25) on the side of the rotating shaft (29) is substantially widened. The raw noodles caught on this surface (A) are easily stored in the division chamber (4) when the opening / closing lid (25) is closed. Further, according to the mechanism of the rotating part of the opening / closing lid as described above, since no gap is formed in this part, the raw noodles do not fall out of the bucket when the raw noodles are put.

Further, in the bucket of the present embodiment, all the edges of the stainless wire mesh are protected by folding back the stainless steel plate, so that the conventional stainless steel wire mesh is joined only to the inner surface of the stainless steel plate by spot welding. Durability is improved compared to the one That is, in the conventional spot welding, the noodles were easily separated, and the noodles sometimes dropped from the gap. Further, in this embodiment, since the bucket body and the reinforcing plate of the opening / closing lid are each made of one stainless plate, the welded joints are fewer and less likely to break than in the conventional case.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the opening for inserting raw noodles in the bucket of the boiled noodle device is wide, it is easy to manufacture and set the device, and there is no gap around the rotation axis of the opening / closing lid. There is an effect such that a part of the noodles does not fall out when the noodles are added and the yield at the time of manufacturing the boiled noodles is improved.
