By supplying hot water from the hot water currant 23 into the hot water tank 21, an increase in the salt concentration of hot water when the udon is boiled can be mitigated.

  Fins 29 </ b> R and fins 29 </ b> L are arranged on the back surface 21 b of the hot water bath 21 so as to be separated from each other in the width direction W. A plurality of fins 29 </ b> R and 29 </ b> L are juxtaposed in the front-rear direction L of the hot water bath 21, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 1. The fin 29R and the fin L are formed in a U-shaped cross section, and the back surface is fixed to the back surface 21b. The height of the fin 29 </ b> R is set to 10 mm over the width direction W. The height of the fin 29L is set to gradually increase from 10 mm to 20 mm from the center in the width direction W toward the left side. In addition, about the specific arrangement position and specific shape of fin 29R, 29L, you may change suitably according to the shape, capacity | capacitance, etc. of the hot water tank 21. FIG.

  The heating chamber 3 accommodates a heating burner 31 that faces the back surface 21 b of the hot water bath 21. Two heating burners 31 are arranged in parallel along the width direction W of the hot water bath 21. The specific arrangement position of the heating burner 31 may be changed as appropriate according to the shape, capacity, etc. of the hot water bath 21.

  The heating burner 31 is connected to the control device 5 as shown in FIG. The control device 5 supplies tap water to a combustion switch 51 for turning on / off the heating burner 31, a gas solenoid valve 52 for supplying gas to the heating burner 31, and a hot water heat exchange tube 6 to be described later. And a controller 54 that opens and closes the gas solenoid valve 52 and the tap water solenoid valve 53 in conjunction with the on / off of the combustion switch 51. The controller 54 closes the tap water electromagnetic valve 53 when a gas detector (not shown) detects misfire of the heating burner 31.

A hot water heat exchange tube 6 for passing tap water as a fluid to be heated is disposed in the exhaust tube 4. One end 6 a of the hot water heat exchange tube 6 is connected to the water pipe through the tap water electromagnetic valve 53, and the other end 6 b is connected to the hot water currant 23.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the exhaust heating gas discharged from the heating chamber 3 through the exhaust pipe 4 heats the tap water passing through the hot water generation heat exchange tube 6. Hot water is generated and the waste heat of the exhaust heating gas is reused. In addition to the tap water, hot water obtained by heating the tap water with a water heater may be passed through the hot water generating heat exchange tube 6.

The hot water heat exchange tube 6 is formed by connecting a plurality of J-shaped twisted multi-leaf tubes 61 in a spiral shape. The twisted multileaf tube 61 is made of stainless steel, and as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the twisted multileaf tube 61 is formed in a multi-leaf shape having a cross section that repeats a concave portion 61a and a convex portion 61b in the circumferential direction. Twisted at degrees / 190mm. In this embodiment, 22 twisted multi-leaf tubes 61 are connected to form the hot water heat exchange tube 6.
By reusing waste heat using such a hot water heat exchange tube 6, for example, exhaust heating after the heating burners 31 and 31 with a heat consumption of 320,000 kcal / h heat the water 160 L in the hot water bath 21. When the waste heat of the gas is reused, 3 L of hot water heated from 11 ° C. to 56 ° C. can be generated per minute. In addition, by supplying this hot water into the hot water bath 21, the heating required to raise the temperature of the water 160L in the hot water bath 21 from 11 ° C. to 99.4 ° C. with the heating burners 31 and 31 with a heat consumption of 320,000 kcal / h. The time is shortened to about 53 minutes as compared with the heating time of the conventional boiled noodle machine that does not reuse the waste heat of the exhaust heating gas, and the thermal efficiency is improved by about 10%.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the hot water tank 21 is a primary tank having a circulating convection C that circulates in the vertical direction H of the hot water tank 21 to loosen udon and loosen the udon, and the vertical direction H. And a region R2 in a secondary bowl that wraps the udon made of coarse rice cake with the foam B2 formed on the hot water surface S and finish-boiled udon. The region R1 in the primary basket and the region R2 in the secondary basket are arranged in this order from the left side in the width direction W of the hot water bath 21 when viewed from the front.

  At the bottom of the region R1 in the primary bowl, that is, the left bottom of the hot water tank 21 in the width direction W, a large-diameter hole group 71 composed of a plurality of small-diameter ejection holes 71a and a large composed of a plurality of large-diameter ejection holes 72a. The diameter hole group 72 and the baffle plate 7 provided are arranged. The diameter of the small-diameter ejection hole 71a is, for example, 3.3 mm, and the diameter of the large-diameter ejection hole 72a is, for example, 8 mm.

The large-diameter hole group 72 is disposed closer to the center in the width direction W of the hot water tank 21 than the small-diameter hole group 71 when viewed from the front. Since the large-diameter bubbles ejected from the large-diameter ejection holes 72a have a larger buoyancy than the small-diameter bubbles ejected from the small-diameter ejection holes 71a, the upward flow U2 generated along with the large-diameter bubbles ejected from the large-diameter hole group 72 has a small diameter. It is faster than the upward flow U3 generated along with the small diameter bubbles ejected from the hole group 71. Therefore, in the vicinity of the hot water surface S, a strong circulating water flow C is formed that flows from the center side in the width direction W of the hot water bath 21 toward the edge side, that is, toward the left side in the width direction W of the hot water bath 21 as viewed from the front. .
As a result, it is possible to prevent the foam B1 including the starch that has been melted from the udon when the udon is made from coarse noodles and floating on the hot water surface S in the region R1 with the primary soot from being mixed into the region R2 with the secondary soot. Is prevented from adhering to the noodles in the region R2 due to secondary soot.

Further, the baffle plate 7 is connected to a partition plate 8 that extends in the vertical direction H of the hot water bath 21 and partitions the hot water bath 21 into the left and right in the width direction W. The lower end 8 a of the partition plate 8 is welded to the right end 7 a of the baffle plate 7. The partition plate 8 is inclined by 4 degrees on the left side in the width direction W toward the upper side in the vertical direction H of the hot water bath 21 when viewed from the front.
As a result, the large-diameter bubbles are guided toward the left side of the width direction W when viewed from the front when the bubbles rise toward the hot water surface S, and in the width direction of the hot water bath 21 near the hot water surface S. Formation of circulating convection C flowing on the left side of W is promoted.

  In this embodiment, the partition plate 8 is arranged to be inclined by 4 degrees in the vertical direction H with respect to the baffle plate 7. However, the partition plate 8 and the baffle plate 7 are separated from the baffle plate 7 depending on the thickness of the udon and the desired length. You may adjust the angle between the board 8 suitably. If the noodles are boiled for a long time, the baffle plate 7 is laid down to increase the flow rate of the circulation convection C. If the thin noodles are boiled for a short time, the baffle plate 7 is raised to reduce the flow rate of the circulation convection C. It doesn't matter.

  Further, the circulating convection C only needs to circulate in the vertical direction in the region R1 in a primary manner, and the difference in flow velocity between the upward flow U2 caused by the large diameter bubbles and the upward flow U3 caused by the small diameter bubbles. In addition to inducing the path of large-diameter bubbles with the inclined partition plate 8, for example, a jet hole for jetting bubbles is provided only near the center in the width direction W, and the upward flow is provided 21 may be generated only partially in the vicinity of the center in the width direction W of 21.

As shown in FIGS. 5B and 6, the partition plate 8 is formed with a large number of communication holes 81 that communicate the region R <b> 1 with the primary rod and the region R <b> 2 with the secondary rod. The diameter of the communication hole 81 may be arbitrarily set within a range in which udon does not pass, and is set to 8 mm, for example.
Compared with the case where the region R1 is separated from the primary rod region R1 and the secondary rod region R2 by the primary rod region R1 and the secondary rod region R2 being communicated through the communication hole 81, the primary rod is compared with the primary rod. While the temperature rise of area | region R1 can be relieved, the raise of the salt concentration of the hot water in the hot water tank 21 accompanying a rough bath can be relieved.

  On the hot water surface S in the region R2 by the secondary koji, as shown in FIG. 5 (b) and FIG. 7, bubbles B2 are formed to finish and knead the udon made of coarse koji. The bubbles B2 are formed by the surface tension of the hot water surface S, which is a bubble that evaporates at the bottom surface 21a of the hot water bath 21 and rises in the vertical direction H. The noodles that have been coarsely boiled in the region R1 with the primary reed are scooped up with the ball net N, and the noodles are soaked in the hot water surface S in the region R2 with the secondary reed, and the foam B2 wraps the udon and finishes it with the finished reed. . Since the foam B2 is air-cooled on the hot water surface S and the temperature of the hot water is slightly lower than that of the hot water in the hot water bath 21, it is easy to adjust the amount of the foam B2 wrapped with the foam B2. The upward flow U <b> 1 in the region R <b> 2 in the secondary tank is configured to suppress the udon soaked on the hot water surface S from excessively sinking into the hot water in the hot water bath 21.

  In the boiled noodle machine 1 according to the present invention thus obtained, the hot water in the region R2 is heated with the hot water in the region R1 in the primary jar, and then cooled in the air and cooled below the hot water temperature in the region R2. Because it is a finished rice cake wrapped with foam B2 on S, it is easier to adjust the amount of udon noodles with a bowl of hot noodles at a time than in a conventional rice noodle machine. You can avoid the shortage with boiled rice cakes and boil the noodles with a good texture with udon waist left. Moreover, since the region R1 is provided with the primary rice cake and the region R2 is provided with the secondary rice cake, the boiling noodle machine 1 can be installed in a space-saving manner.

  The boiled noodle machine according to the present invention can be applied to noodles such as ramen and pasta in addition to udon.

  The present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention naturally extends to the modified ones.
