Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a heating device for noodles.

(Prior art) Conventionally, a top plate and a turntable are provided near an arc-shaped hot water tank, and boiling baskets are attached to the top plate at desired intervals.When the boiling basket rotates together with the top plate, the noodles are dipped in the hot water tank. Automatic boiling machines are known that are capable of heating and tipping at a desired position to feed food into a bowl.
Furthermore, there is also known a noodle drainer that can drain the water by air suction when a boiling basket is inserted into an insertion opening provided on the top surface of the frame.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Among the known automatic noodle boiling machines, the automatic noodle boiling machine has the drawback that it cannot drain water, resulting in watery udon or soba noodles.

In addition, the noodle drainer cannot completely drain the water, so the noodle drainer has to shake the boiling basket up and down to perform an auxiliary draining operation, which causes hot water to splash on the face and accumulate fatigue in the arms.

(Means for Solving the Problem) Therefore, the present invention provides a steam jetting nozzle 3 for jetting steam upward inside a frame 1 having an arbitrary shape, and a horizontal shaft 5 located at the upper part of the frame 1. A bowl device box 6 is provided, and the bowl device box 6 is rotatably provided between a heating position at an upper position of the frame 1 and a bowl removal position outside the frame 1.
A coil spring 8 is provided at the bottom of the bowl 7 to elastically support the thread bottom 9 part of the bowl 7, and a mesh lid 12 that covers the top surface of the bowl 7 is attached to the top of the bowl device box 6. This is what I did.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a frame formed into an arbitrary shape, and a steam generator 2 and a steam jet nozzle 3 are provided inside. The steam generator 2 may be provided outside the frame. The steam ejection nozzle 3 is located in the center of the frame 1 and is approximately upright, with a spout 4 spouting upwardly at the upper end.
form. A bowl device box 6 is pivotally attached to one side of the upper part of the frame 1 by a horizontal shaft 5. The bowl device box 6 is formed to a size that allows the bowl 7 to be stored therein, and a coil spring 8 is attached to the bottom.
The thread bottom 9 of the bowl 7 is fitted into the upper end of the coil spring 8. When the thread bottom 9 of the bowl 7 is fitted to the top of the coil spring 8, the top end 10 of the bowl 7
protrudes slightly upward from the upper end 11 of the bowl device box 6. This is to facilitate the removal and fitting of the bowl 7.

One side of a mesh lid 12 made of wire mesh is pivoted to one side of the bowl device box 6. A hook 14 is formed on the other side of the mesh lid 12 to hold the bowl device box 6.
It is adapted to engage with a hook 15 provided on the outside of the upper end 11 of. 16 is a handle. The mesh lid 12 is attached to the shaft 1
3 to engage the hook 14 with the hook 15, the upper end 10 of the bowl 7 is elastically pressed to prevent it from coming off. The reason why the mesh lid 12 is formed of a wire mesh is to allow steam to pass through during steam injection. 17 is a switch, and by turning on the switch 17, the steam generator 2 is operated.

(effect) Next, we will discuss the effect.

Since the present invention is as described above, when the handle 16 is rotated from the heating position shown by the temporary line to the bowl removal position shown by the solid line, the state shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. In this state, the bowl 7 is placed inside the bowl device box 6 from above.
is inserted, and the thread bottom 9 of the bowl 7 is fitted to the upper part of the coil spring 8, and the udon ball 18 is accommodated, and the mesh lid 12 is inserted.
When the hook 14 was engaged with the hook 15 from above, the upper end 10 of the bowl 7 was protruding slightly higher than the upper end 11 of the bowl device box 6, so the inner surface of the mesh lid 12 The upper end 10 will be pressed, and the bowl 7 will be pressed by the coil spring 8.
It shrinks and descends, becoming firm and stable.

In this state, hold the handle 16 and rotate it clockwise,
The entire bowl device box 6 rotates about the horizontal axis 5 from the bowl removal position indicated by the solid line to the heating position indicated by the phantom line, and stops on the frame 1. At the same time, a desired position of the bowl device box 6 contacts the switch 17, turning it on.

When the bowl device box 6 reaches the heating position indicated by the tentative line, the udon balls 18 in the bowl 7 fall down inside the bowl 7 due to their own weight and are placed on the center of the mesh lid 12 (the second ), in this state,
The upper surface of the udon ball 18 is separated from the inner surface of the bowl 7 and is covered with a rather large cover. Therefore, the steam generator 2 operated by the switch 17
When the steam is ejected, the steam ejected from the ejection port 4 of the steam ejection nozzle 3 passes through the mesh lid 12 and heats the udon balls 18, and at the same time heats the bowl 7.

In this case, since the upper surface of the udon balls 18 and the inner surface of the bowl 7 are apart, the udon balls 18 are heated evenly over substantially the entire surface.

(Effects) As mentioned above, conventionally, a top plate and a turntable are provided near an arc-shaped hot water tank, and a boiling basket is attached to the top plate at a desired interval.
An automatic boiling machine is known in which when a boiling basket rotates together with a top plate, noodles are immersed in a hot water tank, heated, and tipped over at a desired position to be fed into a bowl. Furthermore, there is also known a noodle drainer that can drain the water by air suction when a boiling basket is inserted into an insertion opening provided on the top surface of the frame. However, among the above-mentioned known automatic noodle boiling machines, there is a drawback that the noodles cannot be drained, resulting in watery udon or soba noodles. In addition, the noodle drainer cannot completely drain the water, so the noodle drainer has to shake the boiling basket up and down to perform an auxiliary draining operation, which results in hot water being splashed on the noodles and causing fatigue in the arms.

However, in the present invention, a steam ejecting nozzle 3 for ejecting steam upward is provided inside a frame 1 having an arbitrary shape, and a bowl device box 6 is provided at an upper position of the frame 1, which is pivoted by a horizontal shaft 5. , the bowl device box 6 is rotatably provided between a heating position at the top of the frame 1 and a bowl removal position at the outside of the frame 1, and the bottom part of the bowl device box 6 has 9 thread bottoms of the bowls 7. A coil spring 8 is provided to elastically support the noodle heating device, and a net lid 12 that covers the top surface of the bowl 7 is attached to the top of the bowl device box 6. This not only overcomes the defects, but also allows the noodles to be heated evenly and is easy to handle.
