DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dough for distributing dough kneaded by a mixer, that is, dough, to two pairs of rolls arranged at the first stage of a rolling process in a noodle making line. It relates to a volume distribution device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a dough kneaded by a mixer is supplied through a feeder by a constant amount to a distributor having an outlet branched into two branches. The dough supplied to the dispensing device is supplied to the two branched passages that pass through the trunk as it is, and is caught between each pair of rolls individually arranged below each branch passage, Each pair of rolls is rolled into a strip to form two rough noodle strips.
The sheets are stacked and formed into a noodle strip rolled into one by another pair of rolls.

[0003]

The dough supplied to the distribution device is produced by mixing water with raw materials such as flour and kneading with a mixer. In some cases, a large amount is supplied to only one branch road. In addition, the viscosity changes depending on the amount of water mixed into the raw material, and often a large lump is formed, which results in poor biting into a roll below the branch path, and the rough noodle band formed by this roll causes insufficient dough. It may occur and be thinner than another rough noodle body, or a hole may be formed.

[0004] To prevent the dough from biting into the rolls normally, there is provided a plunging rod or the like which repeats a vertical plunging operation from the upper part of the apparatus toward the dough accumulated in the gap between the rolls. There are also conventional devices.
However, in a conventional device having a plunging rod or the like, beside an external mechanism that performs a mechanical continuous motion,
There is a problem in terms of work safety because workers sometimes work for a long time, and furthermore, since the inside of the device cannot be completely covered by the installation of the plunging rod, sanitation There is also a problem.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the problems described above, and it is possible to normally supply the dough to two pairs of rolls, and to improve work safety and hygiene. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dough equal-volume dispensing device having no problem in terms of surface.

[0008]

According to the dough-equal-quantity dispensing device constructed as described above, a predetermined amount of dough supplied from the dough supply port is once dropped on the convex curved surface of the dough distribution plate and guided. Then, the dough is distributed by the dough distribution plate reciprocating in the circumferential direction, and the equal amount is supplied to the roll gap between the two pairs of rolling rolls. At this time, even if a large lump is present in the dough and the dough is likely to bite poorly, both circumferential ends of the reciprocating dough distribution plate move to near the roll gap. The large mass is crushed and pushed in, and the normally crushed dough is bitten into the gap between the rolls, so that problems such as insufficient thickness of the rough noodle belt due to insufficient dough supply can be solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The dough equal-volume distributing apparatus of the present embodiment includes:
Casing 3 containing two pairs of rolling rolls 1 and 2
A rotating shaft 4 disposed between the two pairs of rolls 1 and 2; and a dough distribution plate 5 connected to the rotating shaft 4 and movably disposed above the two sets of rolls 1 and 2. , And a reciprocating rotation mechanism 6 for reciprocally rotating the rotating shaft 5 within a predetermined angle range.

The casing 3 has a body 8 provided with a dough supply port 7 at an upper portion thereof, a rectangular hood 9 integrally connected from a lower end of the body 8, and a downwardly fixed inside the hood 9. It is formed with the partition plate 10. Around the dough supply port 7, a flange 8a which is bolted to a flange provided at the lower end of the feeder is fixed.

Two pairs of rolls 1 and 2 housed in the casing 3 are provided with an axis P _{1 of} each of the rolls 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b.
ＰP ₄ are all parallel to each other and extend in the horizontal direction, and are provided with predetermined roll gaps H and rotate in opposite directions. That is, as shown in FIG.
Rotational motion transmitted from a motor (not shown) via a sprocket 11 coaxially fixed to one end of the shaft 1a is transmitted to the roll 1a as forward rotation, and the gear 12
The rotation is transmitted as reverse rotation to the roll 1b via the a and 12b. The rotation of the roll 1a is transmitted to the roll 2b as a reverse rotation by a gear 13a coaxially fixed to the other end shaft and a gear 13b meshed with the gear 13a and fixed coaxially to the roll 2b. . And roll 2b
Is rotated by the gear 14 fixed to one end shaft of the roll 2b.
and a gear 14b meshed with the gear 14a and fixed coaxially with the roll 2a so as to be transmitted to the roll 2a as a forward rotation.

The rotation shaft 4 has two pairs of rolls 1 whose axis is
It is arranged so as to be parallel to the two axes P _{1 to} P _4, and is rotatably supported by bearing members 15 a and 15 b arranged on a side plate of the casing 3. Two rods 16 are connected to the end of the rotating shaft 4. The rod 16 includes a connecting portion 16b in which a boss hole 16a having substantially the same inner diameter as the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 4 is formed, and an arm 16c extending radially outward from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 16b. 4 is fitted into the boss hole 16a, and the concave curved surface 5b side of the dough distribution plate 5 is fixed to the tip of the arm 16c, thereby connecting the rotating shaft 4 and the dough distribution plate 5.

The dough distribution plate 5 is a member formed in the shape of an arc plate having a radius of curvature equal to a distance obtained by adding the axis of the rotating shaft 4 and the roll gap H. The convex curved surface 5 a faces the dough supply port 7. And two pairs of rolls 1 in the circumferential direction (the direction of arrow C),
In the state facing the arrangement direction 2, the distal ends 16, 16 of the rod 16 are fixed in the axial direction at the center of the concave curved surface 5b. As a result, the dough distribution plate 5 can be moved in any circumferential direction in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating shaft 4, but when the arm 16 c is tilted toward one of the rolling rolls 2, the circumferential direction of the dough distribution plate 5 is reduced. One end 5c in the direction moves to the vicinity of the roll gap H between the rolls 2a and 2b. Conversely, when the arm 16c is tilted toward the other rolling roll 1, the other end 5d in the circumferential direction moves to near the roll gap H between the rolls 1a and 1b. Reference numeral 17 in the figure denotes a partition plate fixed to a side plate of the casing 3 in order to prevent dough from flowing between the rolls 1a and 2b. Here, the dough distribution plate 5
The one side 18b is fixed in the center of the convex curved surface 5a along the axial direction by a bolt 18a, and the other side 18c is
A dough crushing member 18 made of an angle material protruding from the fixing member is fixed.

The shape of the dough distribution plate 5 is not limited to the above-mentioned arc-shaped plate having a predetermined radius of curvature, but may be any other shape as long as the end portions 5c and 5d move to the vicinity of the roll gap H. It may have a shape, and may not be a single plate. Further, the reciprocating rotation mechanism 6 includes the rotating device 1.
And an eccentric member 20 coaxially connected to a sprocket 20 to which rotational motion is transmitted from the eccentric member 20.
A first crank member 21 hingedly connected to the tip of the eccentric direction of the first crank member 21 and a boss hole 22a hingedly connected to the other end 21b of the first crank member 21 and formed at the other end.
And the second crank member 22 in which the rotating shaft 4 is fitted.

Thus, the rotating eccentric member 20 and the first
When the hinge connection position with the crank member 21 is located at the point A in the drawing, the rotation shaft 4 rotates by a predetermined angle via the second crank member 21 and the arm 16c is tilted toward one of the rolling rolls 2 and the dough distribution plate 5 Is one end 5c in the circumferential direction of the roll 2
It moves to the vicinity of the roll gap H between a and 2b. Further, when the hinge connection position between the eccentric member 20 and the first crank member 21 is located at the point B in the figure, as shown by the one-dot chain line position,
The arm 16c is tilted toward the other rolling roll 1, and the other end 5d in the circumferential direction is set to the roll gap H between the rolls 1a and 1b.
It moves to the vicinity. Therefore, as the eccentric member 20 rotates continuously, the dough distribution plate 5 becomes 2
Reciprocating motion is performed at the same speed toward the pair of rolling rolls 1 and 2 so that both ends 21 a and 21 b in the circumferential direction alternately move to the vicinity of the roll gap H between the two pairs of rolling rolls 1 and 2.

According to the dough equal-volume distributing apparatus having the above structure,
A predetermined amount of dough supplied from the dough supply port 7 to the dough falling area defined by the partition plate 17 and the partition plate 10 of the casing 3 once falls on the convex curved surface 5 a of the dough distribution plate 5. The dough distribution plate 5 which is guided and reciprocates at the same speed in the circumferential direction C is distributed and the uniform amount is supplied between the roll gaps H of the two pairs of rolling rolls 1 and 2. At this time, even if a large lump is present in the dough and the dough roll is likely to bite, the circumferential ends 21a and 21b of the reciprocating dough distribution plate 5 remain at the roll gap H. Move to the vicinity and crush and push a large lump,
Since the normally crushed dough is bitten into the roll gap H, problems such as insufficient thickness of the rough noodle band 23 due to insufficient dough supply and generation of holes and the like as in the prior art are solved.

Further, even when the viscosity increases due to the amount of water mixed into the raw material and most of the supplied dough is clogged in the body 8, the convexity of the dough distribution plate 5 reciprocating. The dough crushing member 18 provided on the curved surface 5a gradually breaks the clogged portion of the dough, and can supply an equal amount of the dough between the roll gaps H of the two pairs of rolling rolls 1 and 2.

Further, the dough distribution plates 5 and 2 reciprocatingly move.
Since the pair of rolling rolls 1 and 2 are completely covered and built in the casing 3, the work safety is sufficiently improved, and there is no problem in hygiene. In the present embodiment, the rotational movements of the sprocket 11 and the eccentric member 20 are transmitted by different drive units. However, the rotational movements may be transmitted simultaneously from the same drive unit. Although transmitted as a reciprocating motion from the rotating device 19 via the reciprocating rotating mechanism 6, the rotating device 19 may be driven at a predetermined time interval to cause the dough distribution plate 5 to reciprocate intermittently.

If the two pairs of rolls 1 and 2 are arranged below the dough supply port 7 and the dough distribution plate 7 and two pairs of rolls 1 and 2 can be built in, the above-mentioned configuration is adopted. The structure is not limited to the casing 3 structure. Also, as the reciprocating rotation mechanism, a mechanism different from the above-described mechanism may be used as long as the dough distribution plate 5 reciprocates to the two pairs of rolls 1 and 2.

[0021]

As described above, according to the dough equalizing device according to the first aspect of the present invention, the dough supplied from the dough supply port is temporarily placed on the convex curved surface of the dough distribution plate. Drops can be guided and distributed by a dough distribution plate that reciprocates in the circumferential direction and can be supplied to the roll gap between the two pairs of rolling rolls in equal amounts at a time. Also, since the end of the reciprocating dough distribution plate in the circumferential direction moves to the vicinity of the roll gap and crushes a large lump, the dough can be normally pushed into the roll gap and bitten. Insufficiency of thickness, perforations, and the like of each of the rough noodle bands formed by the two pairs of rolls are reduced as compared with the related art, and loss of manufactured products can be reduced.

Further, the reciprocating dough distribution plate and the two pairs of rolling rollers are completely covered and built in the casing, so that work safety can be sufficiently improved and sanitary aspects can be improved. there is no problem. Further, even if the supplied dough is clogged in the casing, the dough crushing member provided on the convex curved surface of the reciprocating dough distribution plate gradually breaks the clogged portion of the dough, and a uniform amount of dough is removed by two pairs. To the rolling rollers.
