Description

The present invention relates to a noodle boiling support device that reduces the labor required for the noodle boiling work and work mistakes in the work, and a noodle boiled bamboo basket provided with the same.

At restaurants that offer a variety of noodles, each noodle bundle is placed in a noodle boiled bamboo basket (also called Tepo) made of wire mesh, wire, pipe, etc., and the noodles are made according to the customer's taste. Boil it up. Roughly speaking, there are three types of boiled noodles: firm, normal, and soft.

To serve noodles, soak the noodles in a boiled kettle (hot water tank) while loosening the noodles in the order in which they came to the store, and quickly boil the noodles from the hot water tank according to the customer's favorite boiled condition (noodle hardness). The procedure is to take out the hot water and drain it.

The degree of boiling of noodles depends on the time it takes to boil the noodles in a boiling water tank, wait for them to boil, take them out, and drain the water. Strict time management is important to boil the noodles to the customer's taste, and the time to boil the noodles varies depending on the size of the boiling water tank, the type of noodles, and the heat source, but it is about 30 seconds to several. Minutes are a guide.

Experienced cooks estimate the temperature of the hot water in the hot water tank, learn the time required for the customer's favorite boiling condition through experience, and rely on their intuition. However, it is preferable that even an inexperienced cook can boil the noodles in a boiled manner according to the taste of the customer. Therefore, Patent Document 1 below discloses a boiled bamboo basket handle in which a timer circuit is provided in a cylinder of a noodle boiled bamboo basket handle, a time setting dial, a signal lamp, and a buzzer are arranged.

In the technique described in Patent Document 1 below, the boil time is set with the time setting dial. Put the noodles in a boiled colander, soak the colander in a boiling kettle, and hang it on the edge of the kettle with a hook. Press the power switch to start counting the set time. When the set time arrives, the signal lamp lights up and the buzzer sounds at the same time to signal the arrival of the boiled material time.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a boiling water tank for boiling noodles (see FIG. 1 described in Patent Document 2 below). In the boiling water tank shown in FIG. 6, six holes for immersing the boiled noodles are arranged so that six bundles of noodles can be boiled at the same time. When the shop is crowded with visitors, the noodles for 5 to 6 people are immersed in the boiling water tank at the same time.

During busy hours such as lunch, multiple timers that notify the boiled noodles are running at the same time. For this reason, when a new noodle boiled bamboo basket is to be immersed in a boiling water tank, a timer for notifying that the noodles have been boiled may sound. Under such circumstances, work mistakes such as forgetting to set the timer of the noodle boiled bamboo basket that is being soaked due to the ringing may occur.

In addition, setting the timer each time the timer is boiled according to the customer's preference is troublesome during busy hours, which is a factor that induces work mistakes. Furthermore, it is also necessary to pull out the ringing timer from the hot water tank and then stop the ringing. If the automatic stop function is incorporated in order to save the trouble of stopping, it is possible that a work error such as forgetting to take out the boiled noodles from the boiling water tank may occur.

Jikkenhei 7-30946 Japanese Patent Application No. 11-196782

As described above, in the technique described in Patent Document 1 below, a timer circuit is provided in the cylinder of the handle of the boiled bamboo basket, and the time setting dial provided there is used to set the boiling time each time. is there. Therefore, during busy hours, work mistakes such as forgetting to set the timer or forgetting to take out the boiled colander from the boiling water tank may occur.

Therefore, the subject of the present invention is that when the noodle boiled bamboo basket is placed in a boiling water bath, the timer is automatically activated at a time according to the boiling condition. Also, when the noodle boiled bamboo basket is taken out of the boiling water tank and drained by the ringing timer, the timer automatically stops. It is an object of the present invention to provide a noodle boiling support device capable of reducing labor and work mistakes required for boiling work, and a noodle boiled bamboo basket equipped with the same.

In addition, there are various types of boiled noodles, such as those for ramen, udon noodles, and spaghetti. In addition to noodles, there are various types of colanders such as boiled egg colander and dashi colander for putting dashi stock in the barrel. There are various shapes of these colanders, but it is important to control the time for immersing each colander in boiling water.

Therefore, another object of the present invention is a highly versatile noodle boiling support device that can be attached regardless of the type and shape of the bamboo basket and can reduce the labor and work mistakes required for the boiling work of noodles. The purpose is to provide a noodle boiled bamboo basket equipped with it.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a noodle boiling support device attached to the handle of a noodle boiled bamboo basket used when boiling noodles by immersing them in a boiling water tank.
A sensor unit equipped with a timer unit that measures the boiling time of noodles and notifies at least the boiling of noodles by ringing, and at least a liquid detection sensor that detects whether or not the noodle boiled bamboo basket is immersed in the boiling water tank. The noodle boiling support device is provided with a conversion control circuit unit that converts a signal from the sensor unit and controls the operation of the timer unit.

When the noodle boiled bamboo basket support device of the present invention is attached to the noodle boiled bamboo basket, the timer automatically starts when the noodle boiled bamboo basket is immersed in the boiling water tank. Therefore, the trouble of setting the timer is saved, and the labor of the operator is reduced. In addition, by taking out the boiled noodles from the boiling water tank and draining the water, the timer that notifies the boiling of the noodles is automatically stopped, so the trouble of stopping the timer can be saved.

By reducing these operations, even if multiple noodle boiled bamboo baskets are immersed in a boiling water tank at the same time, you forget to set a new noodle boiled bamboo basket timer, and mix the noodle boiled bamboo baskets (boiled bamboo basket and non-boiled bamboo basket). It is possible to eliminate the mistake.

It is preferable that the sensor unit further includes a temperature detection sensor that detects the temperature of the hot water in the hot water tank. The conversion control circuit unit controls and operates the timer unit based on the relationship between the predetermined hot water temperature and the boiling condition according to the detected hot water temperature in the hot water tank.

It is preferable that the timer unit includes a selection button for selecting the boiled condition of the noodles. As a result, the timer can be easily set according to the customer's taste, and labor and work mistakes can be reduced even during busy hours.

Regardless of the shape and / or use of the noodle boiled bamboo basket, it is preferable that the handle portion of the noodle boiled bamboo basket is provided with a detachable mounting bracket. There are various types of boiled bamboo baskets for boiling noodles such as ramen, udon noodles, and spaghetti. The labor can be reduced. In addition, work mistakes can be reduced even during busy hours.
