Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a boiled noodle ball removing device for balling boiled noodles such as udon and soba to a predetermined weight.

[Conventional technology] Conventionally, in the process of manufacturing boiled noodles, a noodle strip made of noodle dough is rolled and finely chopped to a specified size to make udon noodles,
Almost parallel noodle strings having a shape such as buckwheat noodles are cut into unit lengths. Broadly speaking, there are two ways to boil a large amount of this talking line:

One method is a fully automatic method in which chopped raw noodle strings are automatically divided into portions and put into a conveyor bucket, and then boiled by continuously passing them through hot water or steam.

Another method is the old method of boiling raw noodle strings in many parts at once in a boiling pot.

In the former method, raw noodle strings are distributed in portions to each basket, and after going through the boiling and cooling steps,
The product is packaged using a packaging machine, but in the latter method, a large amount of raw noodle strings are stirred and boiled in a boiling pot at the same time.
It becomes necessary to weigh and separate portions of a large amount of boiled noodle strings (hereinafter referred to as tamadori), which increases extra work.

However, this method is currently widely used because it is ideal for high-mix, low-volume production and allows for tight turns in productivity.
In the future, it will continue to be viewed from the perspective of energy saving measures.

In this case, there are two methods for removing beads: a manual method using a scale, and an alternative method using a positive displacement automatic ball removing device, and the latter method is currently the mainstream. .

As shown in Fig. 7, this positive displacement automatic bead removal device has the following features:
When a large amount of boiled and cooled noodle strings M are put into the supply tank 100 filled with water, the noodle strings M float in the water and the amount of inflow is adjusted by the partition plate 101, and the noodle strings M are fed into the supply tank 1.
00, and the noodle strings M are stirred by a stirrer 102 to prevent them from clumping together in one place. Water is jetted onto the floating noodle strings M from a nozzle 103 installed at the top toward the filling port 104 at the bottom, and the noodle strings M caught up in the water flow are forced into the measuring cup 105 at the bottom. Ru.

The water that flowed together with this noodle string M is in a measuring cup 105.
The water flows out from the numerous holes in the drain pan 10 at the bottom.
7 into a tank 108 and is circulated by a pump 109. The noodle strings M thus force-fed fill the filling port 104 and the measuring cup 105. The measuring cup 105 filled with the noodle strings M is moved to the left in FIG.
8 and move it to the position shown in FIG. The noodle strings M cut from the bottom of this moved measuring cup 105 are
The noodle strings M that fall onto the damper 106 and are stopped by the damper 106 fall onto the conveyor basket 110 at the same time, and are sent to the packaging process by the conveyor and packaged to become a product.

In this way, the positive displacement automatic beading device is a device that converts the volume of a unit part into a weight and approaches the target value.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional positive displacement automatic beading device adjusts the volume of the measuring cup 105 and repeatedly checks the measurement using a scale in order to keep the target weight within the tolerance range. The amount of noodle strings M that is necessary and enters the measuring cup 105 is determined by the supply tank 1.
It is affected by changes in the supply amount of noodle strings M coming into 00, and variations in measurement tend to occur. Furthermore, the specific gravity of the noodles is not uniform because the amount of water contained in the boiled noodle strings M varies depending on the length of the boiling time.

In addition, slight temperature changes during boiling and a small amount of water added to the dough can cause the dough to become soft and hard, so when the measuring cup 105 is filled with hard noodle strings M, spaces are created between the noodle strings M. Due to the high density, the weight is often not constant even if the volume is the same, and frequent weighing is required during work.

As mentioned above, the conventional boiled noodle ball removing device converts the volume into weight and removes the balls, so there is a problem in that the unit weight cannot be instantly confirmed on the spot.

In addition, since conventional boiled noodle ball removal devices operate by circulating a large amount of water, bacteria are likely to grow inside the device, which poses the problem of having to be disassembled and cleaned frequently. Ta. Furthermore, since the noodle strings M are stirred and suspended in water,
There was also the problem that the noodle strings M, which had been soaked in water for a long time and had become soggy, were often mixed in, resulting in a decrease in quality.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a device for removing balls of boiled noodles that can be easily removed by directly measuring the weight, does not generate germs, and has a good product quality.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a boiling device for boiling raw noodle strings, a dispersion device for dispersing the boiled noodle strings, and a dispersion device for dispersing the boiled noodle strings. The device includes a weighing device that directly measures the weight of the dispersed noodle strings.

Further, it is preferable that the dispersing device is equipped with a dispersing conveyor having a large number of protrusions on the surface and having an inclined angle in order to smoothly disperse the noodle strings.

Furthermore, the weight measuring device includes an electronic scale, a weighing tray provided on the top of the electronic scale, a push-down member that moves in a substantially horizontal direction to move the noodle strips on the weighing tray, and a push-down member that moves above the push-down member. and a stopper that blocks the noodle strings from falling when a predetermined amount of noodle strings are placed on the weighing tray by moving in a substantially horizontal direction, and the pushing-down member and the stopper are integrated. It is preferable that the push-down member is moved in such a manner that the distal end position of the push-down member is located behind the distal end position of the stopper.

[Function] By adopting the above configuration, the noodle strings are boiled by the boiling device, the boiled noodle strings are loosened into one to several strings at a time by the dispersion device, and the noodle strings are dispersed and taken out little by little. The weight of the dispersed noodle strings is directly measured using a weighing device.

In addition, by using the predetermined dispersion device, the inclination angle of the dispersion conveyor can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the thickness, hardness, water content, etc. of the noodle strings, and the protrusions on the dispersion conveyor can adjust the noodle strings. It is loosened into one to several pieces, dispersed, and taken out little by little.

Further, by using the predetermined weight measuring device, the weight of the noodle strings that have fallen onto the weighing tray is directly measured by the electronic scale, and when the weight reaches a set value, the stopper 62 is actuated and the noodle strings are weighed on the weighing tray. While stopping the noodle from falling upward, the push-down member subsequently moves the noodle strings on the weighing pan.

A shaft 72 at the end of the bucket conveyor 70 is supported within the bucket conveyor 70, and the bucket 71 is inverted on the same shaft 72, so that the noodle strings M therein fall downward from the open lower 4 of the guide box 73.

A packaging device 80 is provided below the guide box 73. The packaging device 80 has an inverted conical guide cylinder 82 attached to the center of the upper part of the packaging machine main body 81, directly below the open lower lower part 4 of the guide box 73. A bag 83 for storing the noodle strings M is provided at the lower part of the guide tube 82. A belt conveyor device 84 is disposed at the bottom of the packaging machine main body 81, and a bag 83 containing a predetermined amount of noodle strings M is conveyed.

A control box 90 is provided at the upper part of the main body 10, and is configured to drive various parts.

The functions and effects of the boiled noodle ball removing device configured as described above will be explained.

First, many pieces of raw noodle strings M are put into the boiling basket 4a at the upper part of the boiling pot 2, which is filled with water boiled by the steam pipe 3. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the boiling basket 4a is rotated around the shaft 5a, and the noodle strings M in the boiling basket 4a are sent into the boiling basket 4b. Then, new raw noodle strings M are put into the empty boiling basket 4a.

Thereafter, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the boiling basket 4b is rotated around the shaft 5b, and the boiled noodle strings M in the same boiling basket 4b are transferred to the boiling basket 4C at the upper part of the washing tank 6 filled with cooling water. Put it inside. Then, the boiled noodle strings M are cooled. Next, the boiling basket 4C is rotated around the shaft 5C, and the cooled noodle strings M are thrown into the bucket throat 12 located at the lower part of the lifter 11.

The packet 12 rises along the lifter 11 and reaches its top. During this time, the water adhering to the noodle strings M flows down from the bucket 12 having drainage holes. Then, the bucket 12 rotates at that position, and the noodle strings M in the bucket 12 enter the storage tank 13. In the storage tank 13, the amount of downward movement is adjusted by the inflow rate adjusting plate 14, and water is sprinkled from the water sprinkling pipe 15 as needed, so that the flow lines M do not become stiff.

In the same storage tank 13, the noodle strings M are in the same storage tank 1.
3 Pass under the inflow rate adjustment plate 14 due to the slope of the bottom surface,
It collects around the discharge port 16 at the bottom. The amount of noodle strings M in the storage tank 13 is confirmed by looking through the viewing window 19 while automatically or manually replenishing the noodle strings M.

Fork-shaped automatic shutter 1 at the bottom of the storage tank 13
7 moves to the right by the action of the cylinder 18, the noodles &iM in the storage tank 13 fall downward. The fallen noodle strings M are stored in the hopper 21 of the dispersion device 20. Inside the hopper 21, a water sprinkling pipe 2 is installed as needed.
Water is sprinkled from step 6, and the noodle strings M do not harden. However, if the amount of noodle strings M in the homper 21 becomes too excessive, the load of the layer of wheat and JM will be applied to the noodle strings M on the dispersion conveyor 22, so that 24 may be scratched and damaged. Therefore, the amount of noodle strings M in the hopper 21 is controlled by the sensor 27.

Next, the noodle strings M move up on the dispersion conveyor 22. At this time, the noodle strings M are pulled out by the projections 24 on the dispersion conveyor 22, and are dispersed into several pieces starting from the -tree. Since a large number of these protrusions 24 are provided on the surface of the dispersing conveyor 22, many noodle strings M can be scraped out even with a slight rotation.

Further, since the noodle strings M rising on the dispersion conveyor 22 are pressed down by the elastic presser plate 25 with an appropriate force, the noodle strings M are not damaged. Decentralized Conhair 2
The angle of inclination 2 differs depending on the thickness, hardness, moisture content, etc. of the noodle strings M, and in addition, the slope is small (if the noodle strings M are pulled out, there is a large amount of excess Since the noodle strings M wrap around each other and are carried upward together, the inclination angle adjustment screw 31 is used to appropriately adjust the inclination angle in order to allow the excess noodle strings M to slide down by increasing the slope and achieve smooth dispersion. , depending on the angle, the presser plate 25 becomes unnecessary.

Next, the dispersed wheat vAM on the dispersion conveyor 22 falls into the weighing guide cylinder 60 from its upper end. The noodle strings M in the measuring guide cylinder 60 are placed on the measuring tray 57 in sequence from the lower part thereof. Then, the electronic scale 52 on the base 51 measures the weight of the noodle strings M on the weighing tray 57 via the tray support rod 54. When the weight reaches a set value, the air cylinder 63 is actuated by an electric signal, and the stopper 62 attached to the air cylinder 63 moves rightward to cut off the supply of the noodle strings M onto the weighing tray 57.

At the same time, the push-down arm 58, which operates integrally with the stopper 62, pushes out the noodle strings M from above the weighing tray 57 and throws the noodle strings M into the chute 59. After the injection is completed, the air cylinder 63 operates in the opposite direction, and the push-down arm 58 and stopper 62 return to their original positions. Then, the noodle strings M are again supplied from the measuring guide cylinder 60 onto the measuring tray 57. The length of the stopper 62 is
Since the length is longer than the push-down arm 58, after the noodle strings M cut by the same stopper 62 are placed on the weighing tray 57,
It is reliably pushed out into the chute 59 by the push-down arm 58.

In addition, the weighing pans 57 are distributed by the distribution conveyor 22.
The noodle strings M supplied to the noodle strings M fall in as few numbers as possible per unit time, and when they are cut by the stopper 62, the noodle strings M
The number of cuts of the stopper 62 is reduced, the measurement accuracy is improved, and short words due to the stopper 62 cutting are almost no longer generated. Therefore, the slower the moving speed of the decentralized conveyor 22, the more
Accurate measurement is possible, and short words are less likely to occur. However, when sending the decentralized noodle strings M to the weighing tray 57,
Generally, a portion of udon noodles for general use usually has about 35 to 40 noodles, so if this is fed by a slow-speed container, it will take a long time to remove the balls, making it uneconomical. Therefore, in the boiled noodle ball removing device of this embodiment, the dispersion conveyor 22 is rotated at high speed until the set weight is approached, and then switched to low speed when the set weight is almost reached.
The number of noodle strings M to be cut can be reduced.

That is, until the set weight is approached, the decentralized conhair 22 is rotated at high speed by rotating the drive shaft 28 by the electromagnetic clutch 42 to rotate the high-speed output wheel 43 which is rotated by the motor 47 via the freewheel 45. . When the weight approaches the set weight, the electromagnetic clutch 42 is disengaged by an electric signal from the electronic scale 52, and the motor 47 moves the low-speed output wheel 4 through the freewheel 4.
1 rotates, and by rotating the drive shaft 28 at a low speed, the dispersed conhair 22 is rotated at a low speed until the set weight is reached. And this is repeated. In this way, productivity can be improved by switching the dispersion conveyor 22 from high-speed rotation to low-speed rotation at 85 to 90% of the set weight, which is as close to the set weight as possible.

The noodle strings M falling from the chute 59 are stored in a bucket 71 of a bucket conveyor 70.

The bucket 71 moves obliquely upward and reaches the inside of the guide box 73. Then, the bucket 71 rotates, and the noodle strings M in the bucket 71 come out of the bucket 71 and fall from the open lower 4.

The noodle strings M falling from the open lower lower 4 are guided into the guide tube 82 of the packaging device 80. Then, it is stored in the bag 83 from the bottom. The noodle strings M stored in the room 83 are conveyed to a predetermined position by a belt conveyor device 84.

As described above, the boiled noodle ball removal device of this embodiment directly measures the weight of the noodle strings M using the weight measuring device 50, so it is easy to set, confirm, and change the target weight for ball removal, making it possible to achieve rational and accurate results. Balls can be easily removed. Moreover, it is possible to reduce the number of short words as much as possible without deteriorating the noodle strings M. Furthermore, since the device is easy to clean, there are few places where germs can grow, making it hygienic.

Furthermore, unlike in the past, the quality of the product does not deteriorate due to the mixing of soggy noodle strings M into the product.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can also be configured as follows.

(1) In the food market, an allowable range of several percent is allowed for the measurement error of the noodle strings M. Therefore, the stopper 62 in the above embodiment can be formed into a fork shape due to the shape of the cutting blade. In this case, without cutting most of the noodle strings M, a small number of noodle strings M can be inserted into the gap between this fork-shaped stopper.
It becomes possible to separate the words so that they are caught between them and remove the beads, thereby eliminating the need for short words.

(2) In the dispersion device 20 of the above embodiment, the dispersion conveyor 22, sprocket 33, etc. are divided into a plurality of parts, for example, two parts, one of which is wide and the other is narrow. One sprocket 33 is rotated at a high speed, and the narrower sprocket 33 is rotated at a slower speed.

Then, the wider sprocket 33 is rapidly rotated until it reaches the set value, the same sprocket 33 is stopped at the same set value, and the narrower sprocket 33 is then rotated, thereby achieving the same purpose as in the previous embodiment. can be achieved.

In addition, the dispersion conveyor 22 and the weighing device 5 of this embodiment
It is also possible to prepare a plurality of 0's and combine them to create a device with a large capacity. In this case, the number of discharge ports 16 of the storage tank 13 is not limited to one, but may be plural. This conveyor may use a conveyor chain, a top chain, a net conveyor, etc.

Further, the material of the protrusions 24 on the dispersion conveyor 22 may be any material as long as the noodle strings M are not slippery and can be scratched out, such as metal, wood, bamboo, synthetic resin, etc. 22 does not necessarily have to be sloped, and may be horizontal as long as it can be adjusted by the holding plate 25 of the noodle strings M. As this holding plate 25, a silicon plate or a stainless steel R-shaped plate is softened with a spring. It may be of a structure that can be held down.

(3) In the weight measuring device 50, when the %VAM falls from the dispersion conveyor 22 to the weighing pan 57, if the falling distance is long, a large weight is momentarily added to the electronic scale 52 due to the acceleration of the noodle strings M, and the weight is weighed. Easy to cause errors. Therefore, in order to prevent the noodle strings M from falling directly into the weighing tray 57, several thin round rods or flat plates are placed inside the weighing guide tube 60.
By attaching it diagonally downward so that when the noodle strings M fall, they are caught by the noodle strings M and slide down, the measurement accuracy can be improved. Note that the noodle strings M can also be fed manually to the weighing tray 57.

(4) Hopper 21 attached to decentralization conveyor 22
The method of supplying the noodle strings M is not limited to the method of dropping them from the storage tank 13 above them, but also the method of directly feeding them from below using a conveyor.

(5) The high/low speed conversion timing of the decentralized conveyor 22 can also be determined by using a timer.

In addition to the combination of a freewheel and an electromagnetic clutch, the mechanical speed switching mechanism may also be an excitation-activated double clutch unit, or a device that can control high and low speed rotation using electrical signals. Bye. Furthermore, without using this complicated high-low speed converting device 40, a device that always rotates at a constant rotation speed may be used.

(6) The weighing tray 57 of the weighing device 50 may be shaped like a fork or have many small holes in order to drain water well so that the weight of water attached to the noodle strings M does not affect the weighing process. You can also do this. Alternatively, instead of using a cylinder to drive the object down, a mechanical method using a cam or a crank may be used. Furthermore, apart from this, instead of using the push-down arm 58, a non-blowing method using water flow, air, etc. may be used.

(7) Provide the watering vibrator 15 above the storage tank 13,
Although the water sprinkling pipes 26 are provided above the hopper 21, the present invention is not limited to this, and the locations and number of pipes can be set as appropriate, and if unnecessary, they may not be installed.

(8) The scale for measuring the weight of the noodle strings M is not limited to the electronic scale 52 that employs a load cell, but any model may be used as long as it is capable of accurate measurement and transmission of electrical signals.

(9) When the weight measuring device 50 is pressed down, the 5
8 and the stopper 62, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6,
The push-down arm 58 and the stop collar 62 can be integrated into a push-down arm 64 that also serves as a stopper and has an L-shaped tip. In this case, the hole 61 at the bottom of the metering guide cylinder 60 is unnecessary.

With this configuration, the same functions and effects as in the embodiment described above can be achieved, and since there is no hole 61,
There is no need to clean the starch that gets stuck in the circumference 61.

[Effects of the Invention] The device for removing the balls of boiled noodles of the present invention can easily and reliably remove the balls of noodles by directly measuring the weight of the noodle strings, does not generate germs, and has good product quality. It has an excellent effect.

Furthermore, by using the above-mentioned predetermined dispersion device, the noodle strings can be loosened into one to several pieces and efficiently taken out little by little, regardless of the thickness, hardness, water content, etc. of the noodle strings.

Further, by using the predetermined weight measuring device, the weight of the noodle strings is directly measured, and the weighed noodle strings are dropped from the weighing tray in conjunction with the stopper.
