Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a noodle making device for making noodles such as "udon" or "soba J".

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of noodle making device, for example,
A device having a configuration as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 25754 or Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. 63-55883 is known.

In such a conventional noodle-making device, as schematically illustrated in FIG. By kneading the noodles, a crumbly noodle dough is produced.

Next, this crumbled noodle dough is passed through a pair of rolling rollers d,
The noodle strips are fed between a pair of cutting blade rollers f, f, and then cut into noodle strips. The noodles are made into noodle strings and dropped onto a conveyor g, so that they are delivered in single serving units.

In this way, the rolling mechanism that rolls the crumbled noodle dough to form noodle strips has a pair of rolling rollers d and d arranged in multiple stages, and these are fixedly supported by a support frame to roll the noodles. It is designed to form noodle strips of a predetermined thickness by rolling the dough in stages, and is particularly useful when supplying crumbled noodle dough between the uppermost rolling rollers d and d. This is done by punching with a punch.

The clearance between the rolling parts of each pair of rolling rollers d and d can be adjusted by making both support shafts of one rolling roller d of the pair movable in a direction away from the other rolling roller d, and using compression springs j.
, j are always urged in the direction of separation, and a constant gap is always maintained by rotating the feed screws k, which are integrated with the thinning adjustment dial.

By the way, if the scraper pair e, e provided in pressure contact with the rolling roller pair d, d on the downstream side has a rounded tip, the noodle sheet will be damaged by the tip or scraps of noodle dough accumulated on the tip. There is a risk of injury.

Also, if there is a small gap between the roller and the scraper, the noodle dough will stick to the roller surface through this gap, forming a thin film of noodle dough, and at this time, the pressure of the scraper against the roller will increase. If the vibration is weak, not only will the vibration generate abnormal noise, but the tip of the scraper will lift off the roller surface, and the noodle dough will eventually stick to the entire circumference of the roller, making it impossible to make noodles.

Therefore, in the past, the tip of the scraper was made with a sharp edge and pressed strongly against the roller surface to prevent the scraper from lifting up, and at the same time, the material of the scraper was made of a material such as copper alloy, which was better than the material of the roller made of steel or stainless steel. Currently, the generation of minute gaps is prevented by softening the material and making it fit into the roller surface.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the scrapers used in the rolling mechanism of the conventional noodle-making apparatus described above are made of copper alloy, they not only contain harmful substances such as zinc, but also suffer from corrosion. It is weak and has poor durability.

Furthermore, it is best to position the scraper pairs e, e which are pressed against each other on the downstream side of the rolling roller pairs d, d, with their tips located directly below the rolling section, but due to space constraints, the As shown in FIG.
It is located at a distance downstream from the rolling section between the rolling rollers d and 4, and it must be arranged symmetrically with respect to the rolling central axis between the rolling roller pairs d and 4.

Therefore, the rolled noodle strip is sent out while being stuck to one roller, so before it is peeled off from the roller by the scraper, it is pulled to both sides while being stuck to the pair of rolling rollers, and the surface of the noodle strip is peeled off. There was a problem of quality defects such as roughening of the surface of the noodle strips.

[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a noodle-making device that can smoothly peel off a noodle strip delivered from a rolling section of a pair of rolling rollers.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes a flour storage means, and a mixer that stirs the flour supplied in a fixed amount from the flour storage means with water to form noodles in the form of soboro. A mixing means for producing dough, a rolling means for supplying the crumbled noodle dough produced by the mixing means between a pair of rolling rollers and rolling it into a noodle sheet, and a noodle rolled by the rolling means. A noodle making device comprising: a cutting device that feeds a strip between a pair of cutting blade rollers and cuts it into noodle strings; and a delivery device that drops the noodle strings cut by the cutting device onto a conveyor and sends them out. The tips of the first and second scrapers are brought into pressure contact with the downstream side of the rolling section of the pair of rolling rollers, and the tips of the first scraper are arranged at a high position close to the rolling section side, The tip of the second scraper is disposed at a lower position on the downstream side of the second scraper, making it asymmetrical with respect to the central axis of the rolling section.

In this case, it is preferable that the surfaces of the pair of rolling rollers be subjected to ion nitriding treatment, and that the I and second soufflés be formed of a stainless steel material.

[Function] That is, in the present invention, the scrapers are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the rolling center axis on the downstream side of the rolling roller pair constituting the rolling mechanism, so that the scrapers are disposed on both surfaces of the rolling roller pair. The noodle strips that are delivered in a stuck state are peeled off from the surface of the pair of rolling rollers at alternate timings.

Furthermore, since the surface of the rolling roller is subjected to ion nitriding treatment, it is possible to use a highly rigid material for each scraper.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6.

The second part schematically shows the overall configuration of the noodle making device according to the present invention, and l in the figure is the device main body.

On the top plate 2 of this device main body 1, a flour storage means 0, which will be described later as a flour storage means in which flour A is stored, is placed, and the device main body 1 is located below this flour storage 10.

a is pivotally supported by a fixed support frame 7 fixed to the apparatus main body 1, and the support shaft 32a of the other rolling roller 32 is tilted and rotated in the front-back direction with respect to the one rolling roller 31 via a shaft 8. It is pivotally supported by a rotatable support frame 9.

The other rolling roller 32 can open the rolling portion P between the rollers 31 and 32 by tilting and rotating the rotary support frame 9 backward, as shown by the two-dot broken line in FIG. It has become.

Further, the pivot point 8 of the rotary support frame 9 is positioned rearward with respect to the one rolling roller 31 than the pivot point 32a of the other rolling roller 32 pivotally supported by the rotary support frame 9. The phase X is shifted, so that the other rolling roller 32 is urged by its own weight in a direction in which it always contacts the one rolling roller 31 side.

In this embodiment, the other rolling roller 32 is urged toward the one rolling roller 31 side by its own weight, but the other rolling roller 32 is urged toward the one rolling roller 31 side not by its own weight but by the elasticity of a spring or the like. It is also possible to configure it to be biased.

Further, reference numeral 40 in the figure is a lock lever for locking the rotation support frame 9 to the apparatus main body l side. This lock lever 40
One end 40a is pivotally supported by the fixed support frame 7 and is rotatable in the vertical direction, and the other end 40b is screwed with a temperature adjustment dial 41 as a tA adjustment member. .

This temperature adjustment dial 4 is movable in the axial direction of the lock lever 40 by rotation thereof,
By locking the tip 41a of the temperature adjustment dial 41 with the locking shaft 9a at the tip of the rotation support frame 9, the rotation support frame 9 is locked. By rotating 41, the range of tilting and rotation of the rotation support frame 9 in the front-rear direction is adjustable.

That is, the crumbled noodle dough produced by the mixer 20 is supplied between the pair of rolling rollers 31 and 32, and the crumbled noodle dough is rolled to form a noodle sheet. .

On the other hand, the temperature adjustment dial 4↓ is set to the mixer 2 at the rolling part P between the rollers 31 and 32 that are in contact with each other.
When a certain amount of crumbled noodle dough supplied from 0 is piled up and rolled in this state, the other rolling roller 32 is separated from the one rolling roller 31 under the load.

By allowing the rotation support frame 9 to rotate backward within a certain range, the gap between the rolling portions P is kept constant, and thereby the thickness of the noodle strip can be adjusted at one location. It makes it possible.

In addition, 51.52 in the figure is the pair of rolling rollers 31.3.
The first and second scrapers are made of stainless steel plates and are respectively disposed on the downstream side of the scraper.

Each of these scrapers 51, 52 moves its tip portion 51a, 52a to the respective rolling roller 31 by the biasing force of a spring member 53, 54 such as a spring or a leaf spring.
．． 32, and one tip 5↓a is arranged at a high position on the upstream side so as to be close to the rolling part P side between the rolling rollers 31 and 32. The leading end portions 52a are located at a lower position on the downstream side than the leading end portions 52a, and are located asymmetrically with respect to the rolling center axis so that the timing of stripping is shifted.

That is, each of the above-mentioned scrapers 51 and 52.

By arranging the tip portions 51a and 52a asymmetrically with respect to the rolling center axis, the rolling roller 31
．． The noodle strip that is sent out stuck to both surfaces of 32,
First, the surface of one of the rolling rollers 31 is stripped off using the tip 51a of the scraper 51 located close to the rolling section P.

Next, the noodle strip stuck to the other rolling roller 32 side,
By alternately peeling off the noodle strips at different timings using the tip end 52a of the second scraper 52, the noodle strips can be stably and smoothly removed.

That is, by arranging the first scraper 51 and the second scraper 52 in a vertically shifted manner, the tip portion 51a of the first scraper 51, which is one of the scrapers,
can be brought close to the rolling part P, so that the tip 51a of the scraper 51 can be removed from one of the rolling rollers 31 before the pulling action by the rolling rollers 31 and 32 occurs.
The noodle strip can be peeled off by the 3 re-rolling rollers,
It is possible to prevent the surface of the noodle strips from becoming rough due to the pulling action of the noodle strips caused by the 32.
