Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mixing device for a plurality of foods, for example, a food mixing device used when cooking vinegar by mixing vinegar with rice.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a rotary mixing apparatus for mixing two or more kinds of ingredients, for example, the one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-9053 is known.
[0003]
The rotary mixing device disclosed in this publication is provided with a rotating container that is rotated so that the rotation axis is in a horizontal direction, and a plurality of agitation bars are arranged in the rotation container at predetermined intervals. A pair of agitating members arranged side by side so as to be substantially parallel to each other are arranged facing each other at a predetermined interval. On the other hand, the front end of the air blowing pipe faces the center of the air blowing / exhaust hole on the front of the rotating container, and Is configured such that the position thereof can be freely adjusted with respect to the air blowing and exhausting hole of the rotating container.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the above-mentioned rotary mixing apparatus, each stirring bar in the stirring member inside the rotary container is such that their axial centers are arranged in parallel with each other. There was a problem that stirring efficiency was poor, such as less caught and more cooked rice that slipped, and therefore a large amount of rice grains remained.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art described above, and by providing each stir bar in a stepped shape, the number of caught rice in each stir bar is increased, and rice cooking is performed during rotary mixing. An object of the present invention is to provide a food mixing device that can stir evenly and has extremely high stirring efficiency.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a food mixing apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a rotating container that can be rotated so that the axis of rotation is horizontal, and a plurality of stirring bars are placed at predetermined intervals inside the rotating container. A food mixing device comprising a pair of stirring members arranged side by side so as to be substantially parallel to the rotational axis and a stirrer arranged so as to face each other while maintaining a predetermined interval with the connecting member, By forming each stirring bar in the stirring member so as to protrude alternately in the inner and outer directions, a step for pulverizing ingredients such as vinegared rice is provided between the stirring bars.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a front view of a partial cross section of the present invention, FIG. 2 shows a side view of the stirrer in the present invention, FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the stirrer, and FIG. 4 and FIG. The side view of the stirring tool is shown.
[0008]
In FIG. 1, 1 is a base plate having a plurality of (four in the illustrated example) casters 2 attached at the four corners of the lower surface, and 3 and 4 are vertically arranged at predetermined intervals on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1. A pair of support frames 5, 5 is a rotating container that is pivotally supported so that the axis of rotation is horizontal between the supporting frames 3 and 4, 6 is a stirring tool built in the rotating container 5, 7. 8... Are a plurality of guide rollers rotatably supported by the support frames 3 and 4, 9 is a rotation driving mechanism of the rotating container 5, and 10 is a blower pipe.
[0009]
The support frames 3 and 4 are both formed in a vertically long box shape, and a motor 9a as a rotation driving mechanism 9 for the rotating container 5 is built in one support frame 3 and fixed to an output shaft 9b of the motor 9a. By interlockingly connecting the sprocket 11 and a sprocket 12 fixed to the rotating cylinder of the rotating container 5 described later via a chain 13, the rotating container 5 moves in a predetermined direction so that the rotation axis thereof is horizontal. It is designed to rotate.
[0010]
The rotating container 5 is detachably fitted and fixed by a rectangular intermediate substrate 5a having rotating cylindrical bodies 14 and 15 communicating and projecting on both sides thereof, and upper and lower opening ends of the substrate 5a by a lock member (not shown). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the vertical cross-sectional shape is composed of an upper lid 5 b and a lower lid 5 c that are semicircular.
[0011]
The stirrer 6 is a vertically long rectangular shape formed such that the left and right side dimensions are slightly smaller than the left and right width of the rotating container 5, and the upper and lower dimensions are provided so as to have a considerable gap from the vertical width of the rotating container 5. An outer frame 16a and a plurality of (seven in this example) stirring bars 16b arranged in parallel so as to be substantially parallel to the rotational axis of the rotating container 5 at a predetermined interval inside the outer frame 16a. , 16c, and so on, and a pair of bars 17 and 18 serving as two connecting members that are installed at predetermined intervals on the left and right ends of the outer frames 16a and 16a and near the upper side of the heel. Are formed so as to face each other in parallel with a narrow interval.
The bar 17 as the connecting member is provided with a locking plate 19 on the outer side thereof so as to be placed on the upper surface of the substrate 5a located at the center of the rotating container 5 and held by the upper lid 5b. Yes.
[0012]
.., 16c... Of each stirring member 16 are formed so as to protrude alternately in the inner and outer directions from the outer frame 5a as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the stirring bars 16b... Are projected inside the outer frame 5a with an interval m, and the other stirring bars 16c. Thus, each step 20 for crushing food material a such as vinegared rice is provided between each stirring bar 16b..., 16c.
[0013]
In the above configuration, the upper lid 5b of the stirring container 5 is opened, rice cooking and vinegar are introduced as ingredients a into the stirring container 5, and after the lid is closed, the rotation driving mechanism 9 is driven to start the stirring work. That is, when the motor 9a is driven, the driving force is transmitted to the rotating cylinder 14 through the sprocket 11, the chain 13, and the sprocket 12, and the rotating container 5 is rotated so that its rotating shaft is horizontal. The stirrer 6 inside the rotating container 5 rotates and stirs and mixes the food a inside the bowl.
[0014]
At this time, the stirrer 6 is configured such that a pair of stirrers 16 in which a plurality of stirrers 16b... 16c. Therefore, the food material a, which repeatedly rises and falls as the rotating container 5 rotates, hits the outer frame 16 and the stirring bars 16b..., 16c. The
[0015]
Thus, each of the stirring members 16 is provided with the steps 20 by forming the stirring bars 16b, ..., 16c ... so as to protrude alternately in the inner and outer directions of the outer frame 16a. The stir bar 16b..., 16c... Catches the food material a so much that the food material is evenly stirred and mixed.
[0016]
During this stirring and mixing, cold air is introduced into the stirring vessel 5 from the blower (not shown) through the blower pipe 10 to cool the food.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, when stirring and mixing a large number of ingredients such as vinegared rice with a plurality of stirring bars, the pulverization rate is improved because they are crushed against a large number of steps. In addition, it exhibits extremely excellent stirring efficiency.
