Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application 1 The present invention relates to noodles made of a composite of several types of noodle materials, a method for manufacturing the same, and an apparatus for manufacturing the same.

[Conventional technology and problems to be solved] Products made of noodles of different colors include, for example, bundles of hiyamugi mixed with red or green colored noodles, or boxes of two-colored somen noodles. Although it is known that the noodles themselves are colored in multiple colors, I have never seen them.

For example, the applicant conducted research to realize noodles that are colored red and white. The final appearance of the noodles is obtained through the noodle process, so even if the noodle material is colored red and white in advance, it will deform during the manufacturing process, resulting in uneven coloring or mixing of colors. However, a problem arose in that the colors were not neatly divided into red and white.

The present invention was obtained as a result of further research by the applicant based on such experience, and it describes a heel in which noodle materials of a plurality of colors or materials are neatly combined, a method for manufacturing the same, and a manufacturing apparatus. is intended to provide.

Means for Solving Problem 1 and Their Effects] (1) The composite type of the present invention is made by combining two or more types of noodle materials having a predetermined thickness with their adjacent sides joined in the longitudinal direction. It has a layered structure.

In this type of am-zukuri, the individual noodle ingredients are layered, so when different colors are applied to each noodle, each color appears vividly separated, making it extremely interesting. .

(2) The present invention is directed to such composite types! ! It also provides ways to send information, that is, more than one method! ! A process of rolling each of the raw materials separately to a predetermined thickness, and then a process of advancing each of the raw materials in parallel in substantially the same direction and guiding the adjacent sides so that they join together and bringing them into close contact. A step of cutting the material into a predetermined width is provided. However, either of the adhesion process and the cutting process may be performed first.

Composite products made in this way are made by rolling a plurality of noodle doughs of different colors or materials to a predetermined thickness and then joining them together. There is no possibility of color unevenness, and therefore the noodles are a clear composite of each ingredient.

In addition, after cutting and joining! ! When twisting is applied to the material as part of the adhesion process, the degree of adhesion is increased by the twisting force, and at the same time, the appearance of the noodles is also extremely innovative, which is especially noticeable when using different colored noodle materials such as Kohaku. become.

(3) Furthermore, the present invention provides a manufacturing apparatus for realizing such a manufacturing method, which includes a supply container that stores the noodle material, and a rolling means that rolls the noodle material from the supply container to a predetermined thickness and sends it out in one direction. are arranged above and below in accordance with the type of noodle material, a cutting means for cutting the noodle material into a predetermined width after passing through the rolling means, a guiding means for joining the noodle material from above and below, and a merging means. A crimping means for crimping the subsequent noodle material is provided.

Based on the above configuration, two or more different types! ! ! The blanks are each drawn from a supply container to a rolling means and rolled out to a predetermined thickness. The noodle material rolled in this way is
Next, the noodle material is cut to an appropriate thickness through a cutting means, and then guided by a guiding means to join the adjacent sides together from above and below. The noodles are brought into close contact and integrated to form a single composite noodle. The above-mentioned cutting and merging processes may be reversed (i.e., each noodle material after rolling may be joined from above and below and then cut; it is also possible to apply pressure during the cutting process; In this case, the cutting means also serves as the crimping means.

The above-mentioned feeding, merging, and adhesion of the noodle materials are performed continuously, and therefore, according to the manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, different kinds of 1! Noodles are manufactured continuously and efficiently using a combination of materials.

[Example] Next, an example in which the present invention is configured as an apparatus for manufacturing a two-color composite type product will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, (10) is a supply container, (20) is a rolling roll device which is a rolling means, (30) is a roll cutter device which is a cutting means, (40) is a guide member which is a guiding means, and (50) is a crimping means. Crimp member corresponding to (1
) are 7 frames that support these in series.

7 frame (1) is a base g placed on the foundation of a factory etc.
Two rows of inclined frame parts (3) and (4) are provided above the (2), and each inclined frame part (3) and (4) is gradually inclined from the rear end, which is on the right side in the figure. , 7 frames are shaped so that they merge at a portion of the guide member (40) located near the front end.

The supply container (10), the rolling roll device (20), and the roll cutter VC position (30) are arranged in the two rows of the inclined frame portions (3) so that they are located in this order from the rear end of the seven frames.

(4).

The supply container (10) has a box shape with a bottom, and a frontage (11) is provided below the side surface facing the rolling roll device (20) on the downstream side. This supply container (10)
Noodle material or noodle dough kneaded by a kneading machine (not shown) is stored inside the opening (11).
It can be fed to the mill roll device (20) via the. Note that (5), (6), and (7) respectively ensure that the noodle material from the supply container (10) is smoothly transferred to the rolling roll device (20), roll cutter device ff (30), and guide member (40). Id tables are flat plates that guide the movement, and are provided in each of the inclined frame parts (3) and (4).

Rolling device! ! (20) consists of a relatively large-diameter rolling roller (21) located above and a relatively small-diameter rolling roller located below it with a predetermined rolling gap, for example, about 1 to 2 degrees. and idle rollers (22), each of which is rotatably supported by seven frames (1) so as to be positioned horizontally and perpendicular to the feeding direction of the noodle material. The rolling rollers (21, 21) in the upper and lower rows are rotated clockwise in the figure at the same speed by power sources such as electric motors (not shown). For this purpose, the supply container (10
) from the rolling roller (2) as shown by the arrow.
1) is drawn into the rolling gap between the idle roller (22) and the idle table (6) while being rolled to a predetermined thickness.
along the line to the roll cutter la (30). Also, through this rolling process, the semi-fluid noodle material is successively drawn out from the supply capacity of 1 liter (10).

Roll cutter device! ! (30) is the upper cutter (31
) and the idle roller (32) below it are connected to the rolling roll device i! It is rotatably supported by seven frames (1) so as to be positioned parallel to (20). The cutter (31) is
As shown in Fig. 2, a large number of circular rotary blades (33) made of hard synthetic resin or the like are arranged coaxially with spacers (34) in between, and the rotary blades (33) and one end thereof are arranged coaxially with spacers (34) in between. The noodle material is fed between the adjacent guide rollers (32) to a width determined by the spacer (34)...
For example, the noodle material is cut into pieces of about 2 mm and divided into noodle materials of a predetermined thickness. Note that the cutters (31) in the upper and lower rows are connected to the rolling roll device 1 (2) by an interlocking mechanism (not shown).
It is rotated clockwise in the figure so that the circumferential speed is the same as that of 0).

The guide member (40) is for integrating the noodle materials of the upper and lower rows that have been processed to a predetermined thickness through the rolling and cutting processes of each row in this way, and is used as shown in Figures W & 3 or 4. As shown in the figure, the roll cutter device i! (3
It has a shape in which grooves (41) having a width sufficient to guide the noodle material cut by 0) are arranged in parallel in a number corresponding to the number of noodles obtained as a result of the cutting, Each groove (41) has a roll cutter device fi (3) in the lower row.
A lower guide surface (42) that guides the noodle material A sent in from 0), and a lower guide surface (42) that is positioned above the lower guide surface (42) at a height sufficient to allow the passage of the noodle material A and guides the noodle material B from the upper row. An upper guide surface (43) is already formed. Upper guide surface (
43) is inclined forward and downward toward the upper surface of the noodle material A from the lower row. For this reason, each roll cutter device? The upper and lower noodle materials B and A having a predetermined thickness and pushed out from 1 (30) move forward together in the groove (41) and smoothly merge and integrate in front of the upper guide (43). .

Now, if we use an uncolored noodle material A and a red colored noodle material B, at this stage a red and white fence will be formed, with the bottom layer being white and the top layer being red, and so on. That's why.

In order to ensure the bonding state between the noodle materials composited in parallel layers in this way, the present invention provides a crimping step. For this purpose, for example, a rolling roll 1Icr! is used as a pressing means. 1 may be provided to apply pressure from above and below to the noodle material after merging.
In this embodiment, FIG. 5A.

A pressure bonding member (50) as shown in FIG.

The crimp member (50) is provided on the front edge of the frame (1) so as to be connected to the front end of the guide member (40), and is connected to the individual grooves (41) of the guide member (40). A plurality of guide holes (51) are formed in parallel. As shown in FIG. 5B, the guide hole (51) has an entrance portion (52) with a rectangular cross-sectional shape that is slightly larger than the noodle material C after joining from the 441 member (40).
The cross-sectional shape gradually changes until it reaches the outlet part (53),
The outlet portion (53) has a circular cross-sectional shape with a diameter slightly smaller than the diagonal of the noodle material C. For this reason, the noodle material C extruded from the 441 member (40)
When passing through the guide hole (51), in the process, the noodle material C comes into contact with the wall surface of the guide hole (51) at the four corners, and the reaction force at that time acts inward. For this reason,
The joint surfaces of the noodle materials A and B of 21 g and 1 M are brought into close contact with each other, and are more firmly bonded to each other, and the four corners of the noodle material C are deformed and appropriately rounded, so that the appearance is also improved.

Note that this crimping member (50) has a lower part (50a) and an upper part (50b) with the plane including the center line of the guide hole (51) as the boundary.
) It has a structure that can be divided into two parts, and in normal use, the fasteners provided at both ends (
54) and performs the above function, but it can be disassembled as necessary, such as when the guide hole (51) is clogged with noodle material or when cleaning. Also, the first
In the figure, (8) is a belt conveyor installed in front of the pressure bonding member (50), and is provided to move the composite noodles pushed out from the pressure bonding member (50) to the next packaging process, etc. When the belt conveyor (8) is provided in this way, a traction force is applied to the noodle material as it moves, so the movement of the noodle material from the 441 member (40) to the pressure bonding member (50) becomes smoother. Benefits also arise.

As described above, the red and white noodle materials stored in the upper and lower supply containers (10, 10) are transferred to the rolling roll device (20).
Rolling process with roll cutter! Red and white two-color composite noodles are continuously and efficiently formed through a series of steps including the cutting step by (30), the merging and integrating step by the id member (40), and the crimping step by the crimping member (50). In addition, the composite noodles formed in this way maintain their composite state even after cooking because each noodle material is firmly bonded, and continue to maintain a unique appearance with two clearly divided colors. In addition, the thickness of each noodle material A and B is changed in the rolling process.
With this simple fabrication, the distribution of red and white colors can be changed freely.

By the way, as described above, when 2 am noodle materials are combined and then twisted to form a stranded shape, the twisting increases the adhesion of each noodle material and provides a unique appearance. FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a pressure bonding member (50) for performing such processing.

As shown in the figure, the guide hole (51') of the crimp member (50) has a spiral shape in which the approximately rectangular cross-sectional shape of the opening gradually rotates from the inlet n (52) to the outlet (53). ing. It is similar to the one in Fig. plS5 in that the inlet part (52) is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the noodle material C, and the outlet part (53) has a relatively small diameter and a rounded shape. Noodle material C after joining such a pressure bonding member (50)
is introduced, the noodle material C still has some degree of plasticity at this point, so the spiral guide hole (51')
As it passes, it deforms into a twisted shape along a spiral.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show an embodiment in which the above-mentioned twisting process is actively applied.

In the figure, (60) is 441 member (40)? It is a drum-shaped pressure bonding member provided in parallel in large numbers on the 7ti end side so as to correspond to the groove portion (41), and its guide hole (61
) is supported by seven frames (1) via an annular ring support (62) surrounding the guide hole (61). A gear part (63) is formed around the crimp member (60), and the crimp members (60) adjacent to each other (
60) are arranged to rotate in conjunction with each other via an idler (64) that meshes with this gear portion (63). Among the series of crimping members (60), those located at the ends are further engaged with drive gears (65). These drive teeth] [65) are connected via a drive shaft (66) to a drive system of a rolling roll device or a roll cutter device (not shown), and transmit the rotational force to the pressure bonding member (60). This is driven to rotate. The guide hole of the crimping member (60) (
61) has a spiral shape similar to that shown in FIG. 7 in this case, but may also be a straight shape as shown in FIG.

In the above configuration, the drum-shaped pressure bonding member (60) rotates in conjunction with the rolling roll device, etc., so that the noodle material introduced from the guide member (40) into the guide hole (61) is forced to pass through the guide hole (61) one after another. Twisted. At this time, since the noodle material is not twisted upstream of the side member (40),
When the noodle material rotates to a certain extent, twisting resistance occurs, and along with this, the noodle material deforms and slips inside the guide hole (61). However, the part that has escaped from the guide hole (61) is not restrained, so the crimping member ends up The noodle materials from (60) are extruded one after another in a twisted state, and in this way, fully complex spiral noodles are formed.

By the way, in the above embodiment, rolling means and cutting means are provided for each of the two types of noodle materials, and each noodle material is combined and crimped after being individually rolled and cut. Instead, as shown in FIG. ) may be used to merge and press the noodles, and then cut into individual noodles using a roll cutter fff (30). In this case, it is also possible to apply pressure force from above and below using the roll cutter device (30), so that the second roll arrangement! i! (70) may be omitted.

In addition, the noodle materials to be composited are not limited to the two types mentioned above,
By providing supply containers and rolling means in multiple stages, it is possible to combine two or more types of noodle materials.

[Effects of the Invention J As described above, the composite noodles according to the present invention have a layered structure in which two or more types of noodle materials having a predetermined thickness are joined and integrated in the longitudinal direction with one side adjacent to each other. Since we have
For example, when each M material is given a different color, each noodle material maintains its clearly color-coded state not only during the manufacturing process but also after cooking, and exhibits a very unique appearance.

In addition, the method for manufacturing composite noodles according to the present invention includes a process of rolling two or more types of noodle materials separately to a predetermined thickness, and then rolling each noodle material in parallel in substantially the same direction while mutually rolling each other to a predetermined thickness. By providing a process of guiding one side of the material so that they meet and making them stick together, and a process of cutting the noodle material to a predetermined width, multiple noodle materials can be reliably integrated into a composite body and can be easily combined during cooking, etc. Highly reliable composite noodles that do not separate due to pressure are made with G1.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a composite noodle manufacturing apparatus that includes a supply container that stores noodle materials and a rolling means that rolls the noodle materials from the supply container to a predetermined thickness and sends them out in one direction, depending on the type of noodle materials. In addition to correspondingly arranged above and below, there is a cutting means for cutting the noodle material after passing through the rolling means into a predetermined width, a guiding means for merging the noodle materials from above and below, and a crimping means for crimping the noodle materials after merging. A pressure bonding means is provided so that the supply, merging and adhesion of noodle materials can be performed in parallel and in series, so that noodles made of a clear composite of different types of noodle materials can be manufactured continuously and efficiently. This has the effect of being able to.
