Abstract

PURPOSE:To make possible to uniformly mix boiled rice just after boiling and ingredient, etc., in a short time by supporting a cylindrical stirring vessel having a fan blade incliningly with the center of a rotating shaft rotatably in the inside and providing a blower in the vicinity of a blowing and exhausting hole installed at one end of the stirring vessel. CONSTITUTION:A cylindrical stirring vessel 1 having a fan blade 2 incliningly with the center of a rotating shaft in the inside is supported rotatably and a blowing and exhausting hole 6 is opened at one end of the stirring vessel 1. Then, a blower 16 is provided in the vicinity of said blowing and exhausting hole 6. Thus, boiled rice just after boiling is able to be uniformly mixed with an ingredient for boiled rice with assorted mixtures, etc., in a short time and to prepare boiled rice with assorted mixtures wholly excellent flavor and gloss by adopting a method of circulating cooled air in the rotating vessel. Furthermore, handling of working such as pouring and exhausting of raw material or cleaning becomes to be ready by making the rotating vessel to removable in a cassette-type.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a mixing device for a plurality of ingredients, for example, a rotary type mixing device for mixing a plurality of ingredients to prepare so-called mixed rice such as gomokumeshi.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a rotary mixing device for mixing two or more types of raw materials such as foods, the device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-57371 is known.

The rotary mixing device disclosed in this publication has a cylindrical rotary container that is long in the direction of the rotation axis, and has a raw material input date and an outlet, and a partition plate inside the rotary container that is obliquely perpendicular to the rotation axis. With a partition plate, two or more rotating raw materials can be mixed homogeneously in a short time by adding movement in the axial direction to the movement in the circumferential direction. be.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1] However, when the above-mentioned conventional rotary mixing device is used to prepare so-called mixed rice such as gomokumeshi, it has the following problems.

(1) If you do not blow cold air into the rotating container when mixing ingredients such as fish, vegetables, etc. with cooked rice at a high temperature, the rice will become sticky and will not have a good flavor and gloss.

Hitherto, no effective means for generating such cold air has been provided.

(2) Since the rotating container is large and has a large amount of electricity, it is extremely inconvenient to handle when loading and unloading raw materials or cleaning operations.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems of conventional devices, and is capable of uniformly mixing ingredients for freshly cooked cooked rice in a short time, and also uses a rotating container for cooling air. By adopting an internal circulation system, you can obtain glossy mixed rice with a good overall flavor, and by using a rotating container as a cassette-type loading and unloading system, it is easy to handle when loading and unloading raw materials or cleaning work. An object of the present invention is to provide a device for mixing multiple ingredients that is extremely easy to mix.

[Function] Remove the disc from the tip of the stirring container, stand it upright with the opening facing upwards, and place freshly cooked rice and various ingredients for mixed rice inside.

After adding the appropriate amount of rice and ingredients in this way,
After closing the disk lid again, place the stirring container on the base box so that the racks around the outer circumference of the binion ε container engage with each other.

Next, drive the motor inside the base box to
The rotary shaft is rotated through the

As the rotating shaft rotates, the stirring container rotates via a pinion fixed to the rotating shaft and a rack meshed with the pinion.

When the stirring container rotates in this manner, the cooked rice ingredients in the stirring container are repeatedly transferred from the state shown in FIG. 6 to the state shown in FIG. 7, and from FIG. 7 to the state shown in FIG. By being stirred at the same time, they are mixed uniformly in a short time.

During this time, when the blower is operated and air is blown into the stirring container through the ventilation/exhaust hole, the air is circulated within the stirring container and exhausted to the outside through the ventilation/exhaust hole.

In this way, delicious and glossy mixed rice can be obtained by cooling the surface of the rice grains to form a film. [Example] Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an oval cylindrical stirring vessel with an opening 1al at the tip, and inside thereof two vanes 2 obliquely intersecting the axis of rotation are supported by a bracket 3 and disposed in parallel.

Although the wing plate 2 is formed of a single plate as shown in the figure, it is also possible to use a bar plate in which a plurality of rods are arranged side by side with some spacing between them. Further, the surface of each wing plate 2 is treated with Teflon.

Further, a disc lid 4 is removably attached to the tip opening 1a of the stirring container 1 with a fastening fitting 5, and a ventilation/exhaust hole 6 is opened in the center of the disc lid 4. .

A taper 6a is formed on the periphery of the air blowing/exhausting hole 6 so as to protrude outward to prevent the raw material from spilling out during stirring.

The opening 1a at the tip of the stirring container 1 is used as a hole for inserting and removing ingredients for cooked rice R and mixed rice.

Next, the rotational drive mechanism of the stirring container 1 will be explained.
is a base box, and a motor 8 for driving the stirring container l is installed at the inner bottom of the base box.

On the other hand, each pair of bearings 9 is provided on both sides of the upper surface of the base box 7.
．． A rotary shaft 10 is supported by bearings 9 and 9 on both sides in parallel with the rotation axis of the stirring container 1. A gear 11 is fixed to the center of each rotating shaft 10, and these gears 11 are interlocked with two gears 12 fixed to the drive shaft 8a of the motor 8 via a chain 13. It is connected.

Also, on both sides of each rotating shaft 10, there are pinions 14 and 14.
are fixedly installed, and the stirring vessel 1 has these binions 14.1
It is rotatably supported by 4.

That is, there are annular racks 1 on both sides of the outer periphery of the stirring container 1.
5 is fixed in an extrapolated state, and by placing both racks 5 in contact with the binions 14.14 on the base box 7, the racks 15 and the binions 14.14 are engaged with each other,
The driving force of the morph 8 is transmitted via a chain 13 and a rotating shaft 10 to rotate the stirring vessel in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.

Incidentally, projecting edges 15a are formed on both sides of both racks 15 so that the pinion 1 can be bent while the stirring container 1 is rotating.
It is designed to prevent disengagement from engagement with 4.

Next, reference numeral 16 in the figure is a blower supported by a support arm 17 on the base box 7, and the blower port 16a at the tip faces the blower/exhaust hole 6 in the center of the stirring container l with a slight corner. .

Note that the blower 6 is provided with an air volume adjustment mechanism (not shown). Furthermore, a cooler for sending cooled air may be provided.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, since the mixing device for multiple ingredients according to the present invention is provided with the stirring container 1 having the diagonal blade plates 2, the mixing device for mixing cooked rice R, ingredients, etc. It is possible to mix the rice grains uniformly in a short time without making them sticky.

In addition, the blower 16 is placed close to the ventilation/exhaust hole 6 on the stirring container, and an air circulation system inside the stirring container is adopted, which not only has an extremely large cooling effect on the cooked rice H, but also provides a good cooling effect. It is possible to obtain mixed rice with a rich flavor and a glossy texture.

Furthermore, since the entire device is small and easy to clean, it is superior to conventional devices not only in terms of handling but also in terms of hygiene and cost.
