Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a noodle strip cutting/conveying device that can be used in a production line for a group of noodle strips such as raw noodles, steamed noodles, and instant noodles.

In the production of raw noodles, steamed noodles and instant noodles, in general, raw materials such as wheat flour, buckwheat flour, and starch are added, and kneaded water (a solution of salt, lye salt, polysaccharide thickener, etc.) is supplied and mixed. Netsushi, a noodle dough called dough, is prepared.
Then, the prepared noodle dough (dough) is prepared into a noodle strip by a rolling machine and combined. The noodle strips after being combined are rolled by a plurality of rolling mills, and the rolled noodle strips are cut out by cutting blade rolls.
Here, in the case of raw noodles, the group of noodle strings after being cut out can be bundled into a plurality of bundles and conveyed, cut in a hanging state, and stored in a predetermined mold.

In the case of instant noodles, a group of noodle strings after being cut out is stacked on a conveyer and transported, and after steaming (steaming or boiling) the group of noodle strings, the process of seasoning and stretching is carried out as necessary. After that, it is divided into multiple bundles and conveyed on a conveyor, cut in a state in which the multiple bundles are suspended, and sequentially put into the formwork via a hopper or the like, and then the formwork is dried with oil heat. Alternatively, hot air drying is performed to produce noodle masses.

Here, the weight of each noodle strip after cutting or steaming may slightly vary depending on the thickness of the noodle strip or the like. Also, when the group of noodle strings is subjected to wave processing (curved state), the weight of the noodle strings per unit length may vary. For this reason, it is difficult to make the weight of each group of noodle strings uniform in a unit length.
Conventionally, when cutting a group of noodle strings in each bundle, the group of noodle strings in each bundle is hung down, and in the hanging state, a horizontal axis is provided, and a plurality of bundles are cut. The noodle strings are cut using a rotary cutting device having a single rotary blade that traverses the noodle strings, the cut noodle strings are dropped, collected in a hopper, and the noodle strings are placed in a predetermined mold. (see, for example, Fig. 1).

〇Overall Configuration As shown in FIG. 3, in the first embodiment of the present application, in the upper transport conveyor 1, after being steamed, a plurality of groups of noodle strings M are continuously arranged. are transported on the transport conveyor 1. Although this embodiment deals with steamed noodle strings, it is of course applicable to raw noodles.
Further, in the first embodiment, the formwork conveying device 17 is arranged so that, as shown in FIG. are placed consecutively.

In this patent document, as shown in FIG. 4, in each retainer 19 in which each formwork 21 is connected, a direction parallel to the traveling direction of the conveyor is called a "lane". Also, a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the conveyor is referred to as each "row".
The group of noodle strings M in a plurality of bundles is suspended from the end of the conveyor and conveyed. The group of noodle strings M that has hung down is then provided to a cutting device. The cutting device is capable of individual cutting without depending on other rows.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, individual cutting units are installed for each row of cutting devices, and each individual cutting speed can be controlled independently. A controller is provided. This realizes individual control for each lane. In the cutting device, the cut noodle strings M cut to a predetermined length are stacked and stored in a water wheel 5 for a predetermined number of cuts (for example, 1 to 6 cuts). be done.

In addition, a control device (details are not shown) is connected to the cutting device, and the weight of the noodle strings for each cut is within a predetermined weight range according to the weight measurement result in the weighing hopper described later. Therefore, a feedback control mechanism is provided so as to adjust the cut time (cut timing). Thus, the cutting device in this embodiment has a mechanism for individually (independently) cutting each row, and an individual control mechanism is provided for each row.

When the group of noodle strings M for a predetermined number of cuts is stored, the water wheel 5 rotates, the group of noodle strings M passes through the guide tube 7 of the noodle, falls, and is temporarily held by the prehopper 9. - 特許庁
Next, the bottom of the prehopper 9 is opened and closed, and the bundle of noodle strings M drops into the weighing hopper 11 . A load cell is attached to the weighing hopper 11 so that the weight of the bunch of noodle strings M dropped from the prehopper 9 and stored in the weighing hopper 11 can be measured as described above.

When the mass of noodle strings M after being weighed by the weighing hopper 11 has a weight within a predetermined range, the mass of noodle strings M is supplied to the first chute 13 and passed through the first chute 13. A group of noodle strings M is supplied to a second chute 15 (movable supply chute).

If the weight is outside the predetermined weight range, the noodle strings M are discharged to the removal area 23 installed beside the first chute 13, and the noodle strings M are not supplied to the first chute 13. Therefore, it is possible to avoid supplying the group of noodle strings M having a weight exceeding the predetermined weight.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, two weighing hoppers 11 are arranged in front and behind the traveling direction of the conveyor.

The weight of the weighing hopper 11 is set so that the groups of noodle strings M from the prehopper 9 are alternately stored in order. can be zeroed to measure accurate weights. The second chute 15 (goods supply port) is constructed so as to be able to "follow" the conveying of the formwork, ensuring a predetermined time lag (time allowance) for the goods supply as described above.
In each figure, the power section for rotating the cutting device, the power section for the mold conveying mechanism, etc. are omitted.

Use of the Present Invention The present invention relates to a device for cutting noodle strings M used for raw noodles, steamed noodles (steamed noodles, boiled noodles), instant noodles, and the like. Raw noodles, steamed noodles (steamed noodles, boiled noodles) and instant noodles are generally produced as follows. That is, wheat flour, starch, etc., and water, etc., are mixed to form a dough, and the dough is formed into a noodle strip by compounding or the like. Next, the noodle strip is thinly rolled by a rolling process. The noodle strip after rolling is cut into noodle strings by a cutting roll.

In the case of raw noodles, the cut out group of noodle strings is cut. On the other hand, in the case of steamed noodles or instant noodles, the noodle strings are gelatinized by steaming or boiling. Note that superheated steam may be used for the gelatinization. Next, after being seasoned as necessary, it is cut with a rotary blade (rotary roll cutter 31). The cut noodle strings are stored in a mold 21 (retainer 19) and conveyed as they are. In the case of instant noodles, they are further treated by oil heat drying or hot air drying to complete instant noodle masses.
The group of noodle strings M to be treated in the present invention is a group of noodle strings cut out as raw noodles, a group of noodle strings M cut out and steamed and gelatinized, or noodles seasoned as necessary. It is a device for cutting the wire group M and storing it in the formwork 21 .

In addition, the group of noodle strings M to be processed in the present invention targets various types of group of noodle strings M such as Chinese noodles, udon, soba, pasta, and the like. In addition, it can be used for various types of noodles, whether they are wavy noodles or straight noodles.
The group of noodle strings M includes a plurality of noodle strings, and after being discharged from a steaming device or the like, the group of noodle strings M is appropriately divided and conveyed on a conveyor as a plurality of grouped groups of noodle strings M. In addition, the conveying speed of the conveyor is common without being different for each bundle of noodle strings.

─Structure of each part─
◯ Conveyor Below, in the present first embodiment, a description will be given according to the procedure for processing the group of noodle strings M. First, the conveyer 1 is a conveyer for conveying the noodle strings that have been steamed in the previous process and seasoned as necessary. Here, steaming shall mean the state after steaming or boiling.
In addition, the conveyor 1 shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, or the like is not only a conveyor for simply conveying noodle strings, but may also be a pulling conveyor or a conveyor for other purposes. Needless to say, although not shown, if necessary, a pulling conveyor or a transfer conveyor can be combined to pull the group of noodle strings M and extend them linearly, or to impart flavor and moisture through a flavoring device. Of course, it is also good.

A group of noodle strings M conveyed by the conveyer 1 is divided into a plurality of bundles M as shown in FIG. 1 by using a plurality of dividing members or the like. That is, the steamed noodle strings M that are integrated are divided into a plurality of bundles (Fig. 7). In this way, since each lane has a formwork 21 (FIGS. 1, 4, 6 and 7), it is divided according to the number of lanes according to the number of the formwork 21. This is for making the group M of noodle strings. In this way, after seasoning or the like as necessary, the noodles are divided into groups of a plurality of groups of noodle strings M. FIG.

Here, since the group of noodle strings M after steaming is intricately intricate, the division is rough, and it is difficult to clearly divide the number of noodle strings. That is, since the noodle strings have flexibility, the division between the bundles is not clear, and the number of bundles may differ for each bundle. Therefore, in the case where the number of noodle strips M is different for each lane, when a group of noodle strips M is cut at the same length (pitch), the number of noodle strips M after one cut is Weights may vary (Fig. 1).

O Cutter Device The cutter device has a rotating roll cutter 31 and a receiving roll 33, as shown in FIG. It is a device for cutting the group of noodle strings M that hang down into a predetermined length.
As a rotary cutting method, various methods can be selected, but the number of rotary blades is generally one to four. Further, a receiving roll 33 is attached as a receiving side of the rotary blade. The bunch of noodle strings M hanging down between the rotating roll cutter 31 and the receiving roll 33 is pressed and cut.

It should be noted that the cutter device shown in the above diagram is only an example, and it goes without saying that various modes can be selected. Further, in the present invention, the cutter device is installed individually for each lane. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, unlike the prior art, a single roll-shaped cutting device mechanism that crosses each row is used, but as shown in FIG. 2, each row can be cut independently. It is configured.
Furthermore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the cutting device is mounted as one unit. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, a cutter unit 35 is attached to each row, and the rotation of the cutter unit 35 is transmitted by a gear.
Further, the rotation speed is controlled by the servo motor 37 via a control device interlocked with a noodle weight measuring mechanism, which will be described later.

O Control Mechanism Each cutter portion of the present invention is equipped with a control mechanism as shown in FIG.
In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, a box-type cutter device and a servomotor 37 for controlling the rotation of the cutter are coupled via gears.
Such control facilitates individual control of each cutter unit 35 and is effective in terms of maintenance. For this reason, the weight of the group of noodle strings M put into a weighing hopper portion, which will be described later, is measured. This corresponds to the case where the number of groups M is large. Therefore, by increasing the rotation speed of the rotary blade per unit time, the length of the noodle strips to be cut is shortened and the weight of the noodle strips is adjusted.
Further, when the weight in the weighing hopper portion is smaller than the predetermined weight, it is conceivable that the number of the group of noodle strings M is small. Therefore, the amount of noodle strings is adjusted by reducing the number of times the rotary blade cuts per unit time.

〇 Stock part (water turbine)
In the first embodiment, when the noodle strings are cut as described above, the water wheel 5 is attached as a portion for stocking the cut noodle strings M for a predetermined number of times. A back plate 51 is provided to prevent the noodle strings from falling.
A predetermined number of cuts of the noodle strips M are accumulated in the water wheel 5 by the cutting device. It is configured to discharge to the hopper section through the noodle guide tube 7 . Furthermore, it is possible to perform control in conjunction with the control of the number of cuts in the cutting device.
In addition, since the noodle strips hanging down in the stock part (waterwheel) can be quickly landed on the rotating surface of the waterwheel, and the noodle strings can be stacked in this state (Fig. 10), the noodle strings can be stacked. It has the advantage of avoiding problems such as unintended breakage of noodle strings due to drooping.
Incidentally, the water wheel portion is not an essential component, and it is of course possible that the component is not provided.

O Guiding Pipe The noodle guiding pipe 7 in the first embodiment is a pipe that serves as a passage through which the group of noodle strings M discharged from the water wheel 5 passes when it is supplied to the hopper portion located below. It goes without saying that the guide tube 7 of the main noodle is not an essential configuration, and the configuration may be omitted.

O Pre-Hopper Part The noodle strings M discharged from the water wheel 5 are temporarily stored in the pre-hopper 9 in the first embodiment. By temporarily storing the group of noodle strings M in the pre-hopper 9, the group of noodle strings M can be kept organized as a whole, and the group of noodle strings M can be supplied to the next weighing hopper part more smoothly. can.
Further, in this embodiment, the pre-hopper 9 is a discharge portion that can be opened in the forward and backward direction of the conveyor (left and right on the paper surface of FIG. 5), so that the noodle strings can be discharged to either of the two weighing hoppers described later. It has the advantage of being adjustable.
Needless to say, it is also possible to supply the bunch of noodle strings M to the weighing hopper without going through the pre-hopper 9 .

O Weighing hopper The bottom of the prehopper 9 opens and closes, and the bunch of noodle strings M drops into the weighing hopper. A load cell is attached to the weighing hopper so that the weight of the bunch of noodle strings M dropped from the prehopper 9 and stored in the weighing hopper can be measured as described above. Then, it is configured to send a weighing result of the weighed weight to the control device.
By controlling the number of rotations of the rotary blade of the rotary cutter device based on the weighing result and adjusting the length of the noodle strings M, the weight of the group of noodle strings M after cutting can be brought close to the target weight. Further, in the first embodiment of the present invention, two weighing hoppers are arranged in front and behind the direction of travel of the conveyor.

As described above, the groups of noodle strings M from the prehopper 9 are discharged forward and backward in the direction in which the conveyor advances, and are arranged so that they can be alternately stored in each of the two weighing hoppers. In this way it is possible, for example, that one of the empty weigh hoppers can be zeroed for a more accurate weight measurement.
As with the pre-hopper 9, this weighing hopper also has a discharge section that can be opened forward and backward in the traveling direction of the second conveyor (left and right in FIG. 5).

〇 First chute part and second chute part When the mass of noodle strings M after being weighed in the weighing hopper has a weight within a predetermined range, the mass of noodle strings M is placed on the first chute 13 as shown in Fig. 5 and the like. M is supplied, and the noodle strings M are supplied to the second chute 15 (movable supply chute) via the first chute 13 .
When the weight is outside the predetermined weight range, the noodle strings M are discharged from the weighing hopper to the removal area 23 installed beside the first chute 13, and the noodle strings M are supplied to the first chute 13. Therefore, it is possible to avoid supplying the group of noodle strings M having a weight exceeding the predetermined weight.

Here, the second chute 15 (article supply port) is configured so as to be able to "follow" (moving in synchronism with the conveyance of the formwork 21) the conveyance of the formwork in a predetermined section. is different for each lane, it is ensured to be able to absorb a predetermined time lag (time grace period). For this purpose, the inlet of the second chute 15 (article supply port) has a large opening so that the articles discharged from the weighing hopper can be accommodated even if the molds are conveyed. configured to allow

〇 Formwork Conveying Device In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. Each retainer 19 is continuously arranged and conveyed so as to be positioned perpendicular to the direction of travel of the conveyor.
The mold conveying device 17 is configured to store the above-described cut noodle strings M in respective molds 21 and convey them.
A group of noodle strings M cut in each lane is put into the formwork 21 of each lane via the first chute 13 and the second chute 15 .

Since the retainers 19 to which the molds 21 are continuously connected are continuously fed in the conveyer traveling direction, the noodle strings M are sequentially transferred to the next step.
It goes without saying that the operation may be an operation of continuously conveying at a constant speed, or an operation of intermittently repeating moving→stopping.
The group of noodle strings M conveyed by the mold conveying device may be processed into dried noodles through the steps of oil heat drying and hot air drying as the next process. The dried noodle mass obtained through the process is used for instant noodles (instant cup noodles and bag noodles).

Second Embodiment As another embodiment of the present invention, in the second embodiment, FIG. 12 shows an example in which only one weighing hopper is provided. It goes without saying that it is possible to use only one hopper section in this way.
In addition, the chute portion is also configured as one structure. Needless to say, a follow-up function may be added to the chute section. It goes without saying that a simple mode as shown in FIG. 12 is also possible.

〇 Third embodiment In the third embodiment, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, groups of raw or steamed noodle strings M on the conveyor are arranged in rows adjacent to each other in the conveying direction of the conveyor. A type provided with front and rear cutting device groups is shown by alternately distributing and suspending them.
In the third embodiment, the groups of noodle strings M can be alternately distributed, and a cutting blade device and a hopper can be provided for each group of noodle strings M distributed. interval can be reduced. Therefore, the number of lanes can be increased within a limited space. Also in the third embodiment, it is intended to individually control the cutting device for each lane. When performing individual control of the cutting device, a certain amount of area is required to install the control device for each lane. has the advantage of

Branching Portion of Noodle Strings The branching portion 41 of the noodle strings in the third embodiment is a device for branching the group of noodle strings M conveyed by the conveyor in the forward and rearward direction of the conveyor, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 14, this branching portion 41 is provided in order to alternately separate the bundled noodle strings before and after in the traveling direction of the conveyer.
If the noodle strip cutting device is individually controlled, a control device is required for each bundle, so the cutting device itself becomes somewhat large, requiring a space for installing a control device and the like. For this reason, an interval for each lane will inevitably occur.
Therefore, by providing the branching portion 41 in this way and distributing the noodles back and forth, the noodle strip cutting devices can be arranged in a zigzag arrangement. This has the advantage that the interval between lanes can be narrowed.

It is needless to say that the branching portion 41 of the noodle strips has an arbitrary configuration in the present invention. That is, the main branching portion 41 is a branching portion 41 for guiding the group of noodle strings M which is conveyed by the conveyor for the group of noodle strings M and hangs down from the end of the conveyor.
In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, adjacent noodle strip groups M are alternately distributed forward and backward in the conveyor conveying direction. It has a cutting device, a stock section (water wheel), a hopper section, etc. on the front and rear sides in the conveying direction.
The third embodiment has the advantage that the width of the line can be effectively used when used for the production of instant noodles, etc., because the gap between each lane can be reduced. In addition, since the size of the opening of the mold 21 for each lane can be reduced, the opening of the mold 21 can be made smaller and the mold can be made deeper. That is, by reducing the gaps between the lanes, each formwork of the formwork conveying device can be made vertically long.
