Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an extrusion-type noodle making machine for producing noodles such as spaghetti, buckwheat, and udon, and in particular, limits the length of the flange of the eye plate of the nozzle part attached to the extrusion port of the extrusion-type noodle making machine. The present invention relates to a flanged plate of an extrusion noodle making machine having a taper formed inside so as to form a small hole to be drilled in the plate.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in this type of extrusion noodle making machine, little attention has been paid to the shape of the eye plate attached to the nozzle portion of the extrusion port of the extrusion noodle making machine. In particular, the eye plate is directly related to the shape of the noodles that are produced by extrusion, so that only a cylindrical hole is drilled as shown in FIG. Only improvements in the number and size of holes and the pitch between adjacent holes have been made.
[0003]
Usually, in the extrusion noodle making machine having this structure, since a device having horsepower is mounted on a rotary drive device as a power source, the structure is often applied with pressure more than necessary. This is because it has a function to sufficiently knead the buckwheat flour as a raw material, and in the operation stage, it is necessary to avoid that the noodle material is kneaded and cooked more than necessary, Care must be taken that the viscosity increases. Therefore, when extruding the kneaded noodle material, the noodles are not smoothly extruded into fine yarns, but there is a drawback.
[0004]
In the cylindrical body of the extrusion type noodle making machine, the raw material is kneaded while being pressed and rotated by a spiral screw. However, excessive kneading and α-izing are thought to be a cause of impairing the flavor. As a result, the produced noodles may become very firm, and if you require waist strength, it will be a good result, but in the case of fine noodles and buckwheat noodles that value the texture Had a problem.
[0005]
In particular, in the case of an extrusion noodle making machine for producing buckwheat, it has been found that there is a large difference in the texture of the buckwheat produced. In the production of buckwheat noodles, it is generally recognized that buckwheat noodles formed by adding only moisture to the raw material of only 100% buckwheat flour are the best in terms of texture. Therefore, the improvement of the equipment has been carried out with a focus on the production of so-called raw flour soba made of 100% buckwheat flour. In order to knead the buckwheat flour, a certain amount of pressure is required, and it is necessary to mount a rotary drive device having horsepower. However, it has been found that products with excessive pressure will result in a loss of texture. In particular, in the case of an extrusion noodle making machine, it has been clarified that the degree of pregelatinization increases suddenly after coming near the outlet of the equipment and the cooking condition progresses. The development was carried out under the assumption that there was a problem with the time required to move to the outlet formed in the dish. It has been found that fine adjustment is necessary during this period, and even a slight change slightly impairs the texture.
[0006]
In general, it has been found that when the kneading time is long, the flavor of the buckwheat is lost, and when the kneading time is short, the buckwheat is cut short when the produced buckwheat is boiled. Although it is conceivable to increase the number of small holes in the eye plate of the nozzle part or to make it slightly larger by changing the diameter of the small holes, it is also considered that the noodles do not have a proper stiffness was there.
Therefore, the development of a nozzle part of an extrusion noodle making machine that can provide noodles that can be smoothly extruded without causing excessive pressure and that has a good texture has been awaited.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to specify the length of the flange of the eye plate for producing more firm noodles without dispersing excessive pressure in the structure of the extrusion noodle making machine and impairing the flavor of the raw buckwheat flour. An object of the present invention is to provide a flanged plate of an extrusion noodle making machine having a taper inside a small hole provided in the plate.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the flanged pan of the extrusion noodle making machine according to the present invention is a noodle introduced by rotating a helical screw rotatably fitted in a cylindrical casing by a driving device. The raw material is kneaded and extruded from the eye plate with a number of small holes formed by the joining member 64 attached to the nozzle portion of the extrusion port at right angles to the axial direction in front of the spiral screw. The length from the outer surface of the flange portion 50 provided on the periphery of the eye plate 10 having a large number of small holes to the inner side surface 10 a of the eye plate is 2 mm. It is set as the structure formed in ~ 3mm. Further, the eye plate has a configuration in which a taper is formed on the inside so that the small hole is formed in a funnel shape. Furthermore, it is desirable that the distance between the tip of the spiral screw and the inner surface of the eye plate is 5 mm to 3 mm.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a flanged pan of the extrusion noodle making machine according to the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a flanged plate of the extrusion noodle making machine of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the flanged plate of the extrusion noodle making machine. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a conventional extrusion noodle making machine, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a conventional eye plate.
The flanged plate 10 of the extrusion noodle making machine is a disk-like member that is attached to the tip of the nozzle 6 of the extrusion port of the extrusion noodle making machine 1, and includes a peripheral flange 50 and a large number of small holes 60. It consists of.
[0010]
A typical example of the extrusion-type noodle making machine 1 is a horizontal type shown in FIG. The apparatus main body 2 includes a cylindrical casing 4, a screw 8, a driving device 3, a hopper 5, and a nozzle portion 6 of an extrusion port. In manufacturing the noodles, when the drive device (motor) 3 is started, the spiral screw 8 that is rotatably fitted in the cylindrical casing 4 starts to rotate in the cylindrical casing. Next, appropriate water is mixed with the buckwheat flour as a raw material, and the raw material is charged from the hopper 5. Here, it is a commitment to grind not adding anything other than moisture. The raw material is sufficiently kneaded and kneaded by the screw 8 in the cylindrical casing. The kneaded raw material is pressed from the tip of the spiral screw 8 and the kneaded raw material is extruded through a small hole 60 formed in the eye plate 10 of the nozzle portion 6 to extrude the fine thread-like noodles.
[0011]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the flanged plate 10 of the extrusion type noodle making machine of the present invention is made of a metal disc having a thickness of about 9 mm and a diameter of about 7 cm, and the inside of the extrusion type noodle making machine 1. A flange 50 projects from the periphery toward the periphery, and a number of small holes 60 as shown in FIG. The number and installation position of the small holes and the diameter of the small holes are not limited.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 2, the flange 50 is a peripheral portion having a width of about 7 mm and protruding so as to go around the periphery of a disk body having a large number of small holes. The height of the flange is approximately 2 mm to 3 mm, and is attached to the nozzle portion 6 of the extrusion noodle making machine 1. In this embodiment, the eye plate is screwed to the nozzle portion. That is, a screw groove is cut on the outer periphery of the distal end of the cylindrical casing 4 on the extrusion side. On the other hand, screw grooves that are screwed into grooves on the outer periphery of the casing are cut off on the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped joining member 64. After fitting the eye plate 10 into the inside of the joining member 64, the eye plate 10 is attached to the nozzle portion 6 by screwing the joining member 64 with the screw groove on the outer periphery of the cylindrical casing 4.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 2, the small holes 60 are small holes in which a plurality of circular centers are formed near the center of the eye plate 10. The shape and width or diameter of the small holes vary depending on the type of noodles to be produced. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the small holes are square, but may be round. Various types of noodles are prepared depending on the type of noodles. Even for the same type of noodles, it is possible to produce noodles having different textures depending on the number of small holes, the square width of the holes, or the diameter of the circles. A small hole is not perforated at the center of the circle, but it is also possible to perforate a small hole at the center.
The small hole in this embodiment is about 6 mm in length from the tapered opening inlet 60a to the outlet, is less than 3 mm in diameter, and the diameter of the opening provided with the taber is about 6 mm. Since it overlaps with the opening of the adjacent small hole, the diameter of the opening is precisely a little narrower.
[0014]
The small hole 60 of the eye plate of the present invention is formed in a funnel shape as shown in FIG. 1 in order to smoothly introduce the kneaded raw material into the small hole and to release the pressure to be pushed out. As shown in FIG. 4, the conventional small hole has a constant diameter between the inside which is the inlet and the outlet. For this reason, the kneaded raw materials were not smoothly introduced into the small holes. In the cylindrical casing 4, the raw material is pressed and kneaded in the outlet direction by a spiral screw rotated by a driving device, and the pressure is high. If there was a problem in pushing out from the small holes, the pressure was higher than necessary, resulting in overcooking, which caused a problem with the texture. Thus, various methods for releasing the pressure have been devised, and as one of them, a form in which the shape of the extrusion outlet is modified into a funnel shape can be pushed out more smoothly to avoid an increase in internal pressure has been considered.
[0015]
In the flanged plate of the extrusion noodle making machine of the present invention, a funnel-shaped taper 62 is provided so as to open a mouth on the entrance side of the small hole. The taper 62 is formed by cutting the taper 62 in a funnel shape on the inlet side 60a of the small hole of the nozzle member of the extrusion port through which the kneaded raw material buckwheat flour is extruded in a kneaded state.
The taper 62 has a taper angle of 90 degrees, and the kneaded raw material introduced into the inner angle is re-pressurized at this portion to be kneaded and extruded.
[0016]
The mounting position of the eye plate 10 is preferably set such that the distance from the extrusion-side tip of the spiral screw 8 to the inner surface 10a of the eye plate is 5 mm or less. The optimum distance obtained as an experimental result is an interval of 5 mm to 3 mm. Since the height of the flange is approximately 2 to 3 mm, it is assumed that there is a width of 2 to 3 mm from the extrusion-side tip of the spiral screw 8 to the eye plate.
When the distance between the inner side surface 10a of the eye plate in which the small holes are drilled and the end surface on the extrusion side of the spiral screw 8 is 5 mm or more, it takes longer to wait until the kneaded raw material is pushed out. The state that does not ask will be maintained for a while. This changes the texture. Therefore, it is one of the important points of the present invention that the kneading state is smoothly pushed out from the small hole.
[0017]
By adopting the structure of the present invention, conventionally, the kneaded raw material is forcibly pushed into the inlet of a small hole having the same size and pushed out by the pressure from the outlet, whereas the small hole of the present invention has a tapered inlet 20 and a wide mouth. Therefore, the kneaded raw material is smoothly introduced into the inlet 60a of the small hole 6 and continuously extruded without being pressurized from the outlet of the small hole, and is formed into the shape of the small hole. Soft and fine thread-like noodles are produced. The extruded noodles of fine thread are received in this state with a thin plate such as a tray and left for several minutes to complete the raw noodles.
[0018]
The formed soba noodles are 100% buckwheat flour, and the resulting noodles are not cut even if boiled, so this is a completely different food in this respect from the 100% buckwheat noodle soup. The handling becomes very easy. Since the noodles have a water content of 38 to 45%, no dusting is required, and the noodles do not stick to each other. Moreover, since it is 100% buckwheat flour, soba-yu, which is a soup of soba noodles, consists of pure soba noodles, and it is possible to obtain pure soba-yu with no binders.
[0019]
Since the tip of the screw is flat and is 5 mm or less from the tip to the inner surface of the flange 50, it is possible to knead the powder evenly.
By forming the entrance of the small hole into a taper, it is possible to smoothly flow the kneaded raw material into which the pressure is dispersed and kneaded. It was.
[0020]
Although the present invention was developed for the production of buckwheat noodles that value the delicate flavor, it is clear from various experimental results that it can also be used for the production of other noodles. That is, according to the flanged plate of the extrusion-type noodle making machine of the present invention, it is effective for the production of noodles such as ramen noodles and udon noodles as well as spaghetti and other Italian pasta.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the structure of the flanged pan of the extrusion noodle making machine according to the present invention,
Since the length of the flange portion of the first plate is 2 mm to 3 mm, the kneaded raw material can be extruded and formed as an elongated soba noodle immediately after kneading without applying excessive pressure, and therefore consists of 100% oat flour. Raw flour soba can be formed very easily in a short time.
2 Since the pressure can be dispersed when extruding the raw material, the excessive excess pressure is dispersed on the raw material, so the raw material kneaded homogeneously without sacrificing the texture and flavor can be smoothly applied to the elongated soba noodles. Can be extruded.
By setting the taper angle to 90 degrees, re-pressurization is applied and it is possible to produce noodles with 100% buckwheat buckwheat flour.
3 The raw material can be evenly kneaded by separating it by 5 mm or less from the shaft portion.
