2. Description of the Related Art Hand-rolled noodles are manufactured by adding water to the raw material flour, kneading the dough to make a dough, stretching the dough into a string, and rolling it up. Aging process, aging the wound dough and stretching it a little, and a small pulling process. It consists of a drying process for drying, and a cutting and packaging process for cutting dried noodles into small bundles. At present, automatic machines have been introduced in the respective processes to save labor. However, in the drying process, the long, thin, easy-to-cut noodles that have been stretched and stretched between two rolling pins must be handled and handled carefully, and the rolling pins must be attached to and detached from the noodle drying table. I had to rely on. As shown in FIG. 12, a conventional noodle drying table is of a rolling pin insertion cantilever type in which noodles are hung in a number of holes in upper and lower rolling pin support portions, and ends of the rolls are inserted one by one. It is commonly used in small factories.
However, in this method, the work of installing about 100 rolling pins per drying table must be performed by a small group of two people in a very short time after the large-scale and sorting process, which makes the work difficult. Therefore, the burden on the workers was very large. On the other hand, in a very small number of large-scale factories, a method has been introduced in which both ends of a rolling pin are placed on a set of long parallel conveyor chains and are continuously dried while being transported.However, it is necessary to provide a wide drying area. Could not be easily implemented.

This is constructed by attaching an endless cord and a restraining member to a conventional noodle drying table together with respective supporting portions, and a caster or the like can be used as it is.

[0009]

According to the noodle drying apparatus of the present invention, one of a pair of rolling pins stretched and spread with noodles in a roughing / separation process is used.
From the entrance side in the traveling direction of the pair of parallel endless cords, the ends of the rolling pins are placed on the corresponding locking tools and released. After this,
The endless cord is fed by a predetermined amount by the driving device. After being sent in this manner, a rolling pin is placed thereon, and the feeding operation is repeated. When the loading pin reaches the exit side of the endless cord, the rolling pin is stopped from being attached to the drying apparatus and the noodles are dried. 6
After drying for 0 to 120 minutes, the rolling pin is removed from the exit side of the endless cord, and the operation of feeding the endless cord is repeated to remove all the rolling pins. It is also possible to reverse the driving device to move the endless cable body in the reverse direction and remove it from the side on which the rolling pin is placed.

In a configuration in which a pair of restraining members for restraining the lower rolling pin are mounted so as to be vertically adjustable, when the rolling pin is mounted on the endless rope, the vertical position of the restraining member is adjusted and the rolling pin is mounted on the endless rope. When the rolling pin and the noodles are sent, the lower rolling pin slides below the sliding surface of the restraining member.
When all the rolling pins have been placed, the restraining member is lowered, and the lower rolling pins arranged at a predetermined pitch are restrained so as not to move as in the upper direction, and the length of the rolling between the upper and lower rolling pins is adjusted to be uniform. . After the noodles are dried, the restraining member is raised again so as not to hinder the feeding operation accompanying the removal of the rolling pin, and to prepare for a new rolling pin installation.

In a configuration in which the guide frame supporting each endless cord and the link arm form a parallel crank mechanism, when noodles are not dried, one guide frame is shifted to the front or rear and pressed against the other guide frame. By narrowing the interval, the overall width can be made small and compact.

In a configuration in which the guide frame and the link arm supporting each endless cord respectively form a parallel crank mechanism, and the restraining member and the lower link arm form a parallel crank mechanism, when the drying of the noodles is not performed, the guide is provided.

In a configuration in which the restraining member is mounted so as to be tiltable to the outside of the lower rolling pin, when the rolling pin is placed on the endless cord, the pair of restraining members are respectively inclined in a direction outward with respect to the lower rolling pin, and the endless rope is provided. When the rolling pin on the body is sent, the lower rolling pin does not interfere with the restraining member. After placing the rolling pin on the endless rope, return the restraining member to the lower rolling pin, restrain the lower rolling pin lined at a predetermined pitch as in the upper direction so that it does not easily move, and adjust the vertical position of the restraining member. Then, adjust so that the degree of stretching of the noodles between the upper and lower rolling pins is even. After the noodles are dried, the restraining member is tilted outward again so as not to hinder the feeding operation of the endless cord and the removal of the rolling pin, and to prepare for the operation of newly loading the rolling pin.

In the configuration in which the rolling pin end slide surface of the restraining member is provided with irregularities at a predetermined pitch, the vertical position of the restraining member is adjusted so that the lower rolling pin fits into the unevenness, and then the rolling pin is placed on the endless cord. Go. When the endless cord was sent, the lower rolling pin got into the dent and the movement was slightly hindered,
By alternately repeating the operation of going over the projection to the next dent, the noodles between the rolling pins are gradually extended. After placing the rolling pin, lower the restraining member and restrain the rolling pin. After the noodles are dried, the restricting member is raised again, and the end of the rolling rod is easily removed from the unevenness so as not to interfere with the removal, and the rolling rod is removed, and a new rolling rod is mounted on the endless cord.

In a configuration in which a rotating shaft for driving each endless rope is provided coaxially with each pin connecting portion of the link arm and these two shafts are driven in conjunction with each other, the driving force of the motor is such that the driving force of the motor is controlled by one of the pin connecting portions of the link arm. The driving force of the endless cord that is transmitted to the rotating shaft of the part and supported by the connected guide frame is extracted from the part. Driving force is transmitted from the rotating shaft to the rotating shaft of the other pin connection portion of the link arm via the endless transmission, and the driving force of the pair of endless cords supported by the guide frame connected thereto is driven. Is taken out as Driving force is ultimately transmitted from one motor to a pair of endless cords so that they move at the same speed. Even if the distance between the guide frames is reduced when drying is not performed, the rotation centers of the rotation shafts and the pin connection portions of the link arms coincide, so that the distance between the rotation shafts does not change, and the drive unit and the link are not changed. The arm and the guide frame move smoothly without causing interference, and the overall width of the noodle drying device can be reduced.

[0027]

According to the present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned structure, the operation of attaching the rolling pin to the noodle drying device and the removing operation after drying can be performed on the noodle drying device without going back and forth around the noodle drying device. On the other hand, it can be performed continuously from a predetermined position, so that the work is easy and labor saving is possible.
In addition, since there is no work that is difficult to do if there is no space between the rolls, such as inserting a roll into the hole, the pitch of the rolls can be narrowed, and the number of rolls installed with the same size of drying machine can be significantly increased, and drying work can be performed. Efficiency is improved.

If a configuration is adopted in which a restraining member for restraining the lower rolling pin is attached so as to be vertically adjustable, the lower rolling pin is restrained when the rolling pin mounting operation is completed, and the rolling pinched between the rolling pin and the wind caused by wind or the like. You can prevent them from sticking together. The adjustment of the tension of the noodles by raising and lowering the restraining member makes it possible to finish the drying without distortion when the drying is completed.

If a configuration is adopted in which the guide frame and the link arm supporting each endless cable body respectively form a parallel crank mechanism, or in addition, a configuration in which the restraining member and the lower link arm form a parallel crank mechanism, When drying is not performed, the noodle drying device can be made more compact, the space in the narrow factory can be used effectively, and the storage space is small when storing.

By adopting a configuration in which the restraining member is attached so as to be tiltable to the outside of the lower rolling pin, only the restraining member needs to be directly moved when the rolling pin is placed on the endless cord and fed and when the lower rolling pin is restrained. This eliminates the need to greatly raise and lower the restraining member up to a position where it does not interfere, thereby improving workability.

By adopting a configuration in which the rolling surface of the rolling pin end of the restraining member is provided with irregularities of a predetermined pitch, if the lower rolling pin end is adjusted to the unevenness, no special restraining operation is required and the rolling pin can be easily restrained. it can. A rolling pin is placed on the endless cord and sent, and the lower rolling pin is passed through the unevenness one after another, so that the noodles can be stretched. This ensures the uniform thickness before drying and ensures high practicality.

If a configuration is adopted in which a rotating shaft for driving an endless rope is provided coaxially with each pin connecting portion of the link arm and these two shafts are driven in conjunction with each other, the interval between the two guide frames can be reduced when the noodle drying device is not used. When narrowing, there is no need to temporarily remove the driving device to avoid interference with other members, and the operability of storage and installation is good.

By adopting a configuration in which a spare pulley is attached to the rotation shaft of the guide wheel of the endless rope return portion, when connected to the mechanical device in the previous process, the stretched noodles and the rolling of the rolling pin which were manually performed are performed. The installation to the drying device can be performed automatically and continuously and smoothly, and labor can be saved. When connected to a machine in the post-process, the removal work, which was performed at a high position by the worker so that the dried noodles do not bend, can be performed continuously and smoothly without human intervention.
The work efficiency can be increased by directly sending to the post-process, and labor can be saved significantly.

By adopting a configuration in which an endless cord, a restraining member, a driving device, and the like are provided on both sides of the main column centering on a common main column, the workability of attaching and detaching the rolling pin to the noodle drying device is not deteriorated. In addition, the noodles can be dried while being held in a larger amount in a well-balanced manner.

By adopting a configuration in which casters are attached to the present apparatus, the noodle drying apparatus can be easily moved, the work time for installation and clearing can be shortened, and the movement can be used effectively in the factory.
