Description

  The present invention relates to a noodle string winding machine for winding noodles such as raw noodles, udon and soba into a predetermined storage tank.

  Traditionally, noodles such as raw noodles, udon, and soba are produced by kneading while adding water to the main raw material to form a lump noodle dough, and forming the noodle dough into noodle strings of a predetermined thickness. For example, in the case of raw noodles, first make a lump noodle dough by mixing with a noodle kneader while adding a small amount of salt and water to the main ingredient flour, and then rip the noodle dough for several hours. Let This aged noodle dough is rolled while being pressed by a spreader and cut into a rod having a predetermined width, and is rolled into a storage tank while being rolled by an itagi machine. The noodle strings wound in the storage tank are formed in a round bar shape (for example, about 40 to 50 mm) in this state. Even in this state, it is aged for several hours, and gluten is extracted from the flour to generate elasticity and viscosity.

  And the noodle dough wound into this storage tank is formed into a round string-like thin noodle string while being twisted by a noodle string winding machine. The noodle dough is formed into a noodle string with a predetermined diameter (for example, about 20 to 6 mm) by performing a plurality of thinning steps in stages. It is wound in a spiral shape in the storage tank.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a noodle string winding state by a noodle string guide rod in a conventional noodle string winding machine. As described above, the noodle string n that is gradually reduced in diameter is a noodle string guide. It is wound into the storage tank 101 in a spiral shape while being guided by the basket 100. In the middle of this stepwise reduction in diameter, aging for a predetermined time is also performed while being wound in the storage tank 101. In addition, due to this reduction in diameter, the gluten structure is also twisted, and the noodle strings are tightened more precisely.

  By the way, the state of the noodle strings n wound in the storage tank 101 changes depending on the working environment such as the aging time before forming the diameter, the waiting time for forming, and the temperature and humidity during the work. Moreover, the change in the state of the noodle strings n also varies depending on many conditions such as the main component and moisture content of the noodle strings, and the thickness during operation. For example, the noodle strings become soft when aging progresses or when the temperature is high or when the humidity is high, and when the aging is delayed or when the temperature is low or when the humidity is low, the noodle strings become hard. Therefore, it may be difficult to stably wind the noodle strings n whose state changes from moment to moment into the storage tank 101.

Therefore, as this type of prior art filed earlier by the present applicant, the noodle string is wound in a spiral shape with close winding while swinging from the central part of the container to the side wall part at a slow speed, and reaches the side wall part. Provide a cam that swings the noodle string guide rod so that it returns to the center at a high speed. There is a noodle string winding device which is wound in a spiral shape (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-45895 (2nd page, Fig. 2)

  However, in the case of Patent Document 1, since the swing of the noodle string guide rod is always controlled with a constant motion by the cam, the state changes depending on the type, thickness, aging time, temperature, humidity and the like as described above. It is difficult to stably wind the noodle strings n in all the states in the storage tank 12 with the same cam. If the cams are replaced according to the noodle strings n, a large amount of time and labor is required and a quick operation cannot be performed, and a stable winding operation of the noodle strings n whose state changes every moment is difficult.

  On the other hand, when processing a large amount of noodle strings n for a limited period of one year, such as the above-described noodle strings n of noodles, a large amount of noodle strings n must be reduced in diameter for a limited period. For example, there are cases where the operation of reducing the diameter of the noodle strings n has to be performed several tens to several hundreds of times using a very large number of storage tanks 101. However, as described above, when the noodle string guide rod is swung with a constant motion by the cam, the operator needs to cope with the state of the noodle string n and the change in the size of the storage tank 101 as described above. While confirming the winding state, it is necessary to adjust the winding position by the noodle string guide rod 100 to stably wind the noodle string n in the storage tank 101, which is a very complicated operation and requires skill. It becomes work. In particular, in recent years, aging of workers has progressed and accurate adjustment has become difficult, and it has also become difficult to produce noodle strings n by a conventional hand-held method.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a noodle string winding machine provided with a noodle string winding section that can detect the noodle string winding position (range) in the storage tank and stably wind the noodle strings. With the goal.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a winding part that winds the noodle strings of the storage tub with a winding roll, a narrowing part that sends the wound noodle strings in a predetermined direction to reduce the diameter, in diameter reduction was wound insertion portion put around a storage tank which rotates noodles in a predetermined direction and noodle winding entrance equipped with, the winding insertion portion, the accommodating tank regularly aligned so the noodle A winding machine main body is provided with a noodle strip guide rod having a winding roll at the tip thereof, and a swing mechanism that swings the tip of the noodle strip guide rod radially between the central portion and the outer peripheral portion of the storage tank.

Accordingly, it is detected that the noodle strip guide rods that are swung in the radial direction of the storage tub are positioned at the center and the outer periphery of the storage tub, and the noodle strip guides are driven by the switching mechanism provided in the drive mechanism of the noodle strip guide tubs. The noodle strings can be stably wound in the range between the central portion and the outer peripheral portion of the storage tank by switching the swinging direction of the wire guide rod. In addition, the leading end of the noodle string guide rod can be automatically swung between the central portion and the outer peripheral portion of the storage tank to perform a more stable winding operation.

In addition, the drive mechanism has a screw-type feed mechanism that gently swings the tip of the noodle string guide rod from the central portion to the outer peripheral portion of the storage tub at a predetermined speed, and the tip of the noodle strip guide rod on the periphery of the storage tub. A gear-type feed mechanism that is swung back and forth from the center to the center portion, and the switching mechanism is configured by an electric switch that switches between the feed by the screw-type feed mechanism and the return by the gear-type feed mechanism. Good. Thereby, stable feeding by the screw-type feeding mechanism and quick return by the gear-type feeding mechanism can be switched by the electric switching device, so that a quick and stable winding operation can be performed.

Further, a return push button and a halfway stop button for returning the tip of the noodle string guide ring from the middle in the radial direction of the storage tank to a middle portion are provided, and the electric mechanism is interlocked with the signal of the return push button in the switching mechanism. switching switched threaded feed mechanism to a gear-type feeding mechanism exchanger, a gear-type feeding mechanism in association with the signal of the middle stop button may be provided with a switching Ru controller to screw feed mechanism. As a result, when you want to change the noodle strings winding position according to the change of the noodle strings or the storage tank, the tip of the noodle string guide rod by pressing the return push button is moved from the middle of the storage tank in the radial direction. The noodle strings are almost simultaneously linked to the operation of returning to the central part of the storage tank, or the operation of stopping the middle of the noodle string guide rod by pressing the stop button on the way from the outer periphery of the storage tank to the central part of the storage tank. It can be determined promptly by using an oscillating direction switching of the guide rod.

Further, the swinging mechanism may be provided with an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the tip position of the noodle string guide rod in the central portion of the storage tank in the radial direction so that the winding start position can be adjusted . Thereby, the center position where the noodle string guide rod is swung by the adjusting mechanism according to the state of the noodle strings is adjusted to a preferable position in the storage tank, and the winding operation according to the state of the noodle strings is performed.

The operation to be performed is the “return” operation. The turntable 17 is rotated counterclockwise so as to wind the noodle strings n in the storage tank 12 in the clockwise direction. In addition, the storage tank 12 is rotated at a rotational speed such that no slack is generated in the noodle strings n fed from the narrowing section 9 and wound by the winding roll 14 of the noodle string guide rod 15.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of a drive mechanism in the noodle string winder shown in FIG. FIGS. 3A and 3B are drawings of an electric switch as a switching mechanism in the drive mechanism shown in FIG. 2, wherein FIG. 3A shows the operation of the screw feed mechanism, and FIG. 3B shows the operation of the gear feed mechanism. It is a front view.

  As shown in the drawing, inside the winder main body 18, there is provided a drive mechanism 25 that swings the noodle string guide rod 15 and rotates the turntable 17 at a predetermined rotational speed. The driving mechanism 25 includes a driving side conical wheel 26 driven by the driving machine 19, a driven side conical wheel 27 formed in a taper opposite to the driving side conical wheel 26, and the driving side conical wheel 26.

  Further, the moving screw 32 is configured to engage or disengage with an engaging portion 37 provided integrally with a belt operating body 36 that regulates the deviation or the like of the belt 28. The belt 28, the displacement of which is restricted by the belt operating body 36, is hung on the large-diameter side of the driving-side conical wheel 26 and the small-diameter side of the driven-side conical wheel 27. Transition to the state of being hooked on the side and the large diameter side of the driven side conical wheel 27. Thus, the rotational speed of the driven side conical wheel 27 is gradually decreased with respect to the rotational speed of the driving side conical wheel 26. Due to the decrease in the rotational speed of the driven side conical wheel 27, the rotational speed of the turntable drive unit 31 driven by the driven side conical wheel 27 gradually increases as the engaging portion 37 moves from the lower side to the upper side in FIG. To decrease. As a result, as will be described later, the rotational speed of the storage tank 12 decreases as the position of the storage tank 12 into which the noodle strings n are wound goes to the outer peripheral part, and the rotational speed of the storage tank 12 increases toward the outer peripheral part. The increase in the peripheral speed at the winding position is suppressed.
