Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a machine for producing fried rice consisting of a mixture of cooked rice, meat, vegetables, and the like.

[Prior art 1] Conventionally, fried rice has been prepared manually using a frying pan or the like.

On the other hand, 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. 57371/1983 is known.

The rotary mixing device disclosed in this publication has a cylindrical rotating container that is elongated in the direction of the rotational axis, and has a raw material input port and a raw material removal port provided inside the rotating container. This device is equipped with a partition plate. Due to the partition plate, two or more rotating raw materials are mixed homogeneously in a short time by adding movement in the axial direction to the movement in the circumferential direction. It's Chino.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional method of making fried rice by hand has the disadvantage that it cannot be mass-produced.

Furthermore, although the above-mentioned rotary mixing apparatus is suitable for simply mixing raw materials, it has a drawback that it cannot be used for producing foods that require heating.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and by uniformly stirring and mixing cooked rice, ingredients such as meat, eggs, vegetables, and oil, and heating the To provide an automatic fried rice making machine which can evenly bake the entire fried rice.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] In order to achieve the above object, the automatic fried rice manufacturing machine according to the present invention has the following features: A cylindrical stirring container that is provided with blades obliquely intersecting the axis of rotation is rotatable. The stirring vessel is equipped with a heating device.

[Operation] Remove the disc lid from the tip of the stirring container, turn the opening upward, and pour in cooked rice, ingredients for fried rice, oil, etc., then close the opening of the stirring container with the disc lid again. Close.

Then, the stirring container is placed on the base box so that the binion and the rack around the outer periphery of the container mesh with each other.

Next, the heater built into the stirring container is activated to heat the inside of the container, and then the motor in the base box is driven to rotate the rotating shaft via the chain.

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

When the stirring container rotates in this manner, the cooked rice, ingredients, and oil in the stirring container are moved from the state shown in FIGS. 6 to 7 and from FIG.
By repeatedly transitioning to the state shown in the figure and being stirred at the same time,
Mixed evenly in a short time.

Therefore, by heating the inside of the stirring container using a heater,
The rice, etc. inside is cooked evenly throughout.

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

By cooling cooked rice and the like to form a film in this way, delicious and glossy fried rice can be obtained.

〔Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical stirring vessel with an opening 1a at its tip, and inside thereof two blade plates 2 obliquely intersecting the rotational axis 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 introducing and removing cooked rice R for fried rice, ingredients such as meat and vegetables, and oil.

Therefore, in the cylindrical portion of the stirring container 1, the inner and outer cylinder walls 1
In the gaps b and 1c, a heater 7 and a heat insulating material 8 are built in as a heating mechanism, respectively.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, a burner 9 is used as a heating mechanism to further heat the stirring vessel l from the outside of the base box 1.
0, and is used when making a large amount of fried rice using the large stirring container 1.

At this time, the heat insulating material 8 outside the heater 7 inside the stirring container 1 is removed.

It should be noted that the heater 7 described above may be of a plate shape, a coil shape, a thin shape, or a type thereof.

Next, the rotational drive mechanism of the stirring container 1 will be explained. A motor 11 for driving the stirring container 1 is installed at the inner bottom of the base box 10.

On the other hand, pairs of bearings 12 and 12 are mounted on both sides of the upper surface of the base box 10, and the rotation shafts 13 are supported by the bearings 1212 on both sides in parallel with the rotation axis of the stirring container 1. Gears 14 are fixed to the center of each rotary shaft 13, and these gears 14 are connected to two gears 15 fixed to the drive shaft 11a of the motor 11 with a chain 16.
Each interlock is connected through.

Also, on both sides of each rotating shaft 13, there are binions 17 and 17.
are fixedly installed, and the stirring vessel 1 has these binions 17.1
It is rotatably supported by 7.

That is, an annular rack 1 is provided on both sides of the outer periphery of the stirring container 1.
8 is fixed in an extrapolated state, and both racks 18 are placed in contact with the binions 1717 on the base box 10, so that the racks 18 and the binions 17 and 17 are engaged with each other,
The driving force of the motor 11 is transmitted via a chain 16 and a rotating shaft 13 to rotate the stirring container 1 in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.

Note that projecting edges 18a are formed on both sides of both racks 18, and the pinions 18a are formed on both sides of the racks 18.
It is designed to prevent disengagement from engagement with 7.

Next, 19 in the figure is a support arm 20 attached to the base box 10.
The blower is supported by a blower, and the blower port 19a at the tip faces the blower/exhaust hole 6 at the center of the stirring container 1 with a slight distance therebetween.

Note that this blower 19 is provided with an air volume adjustment mechanism (not shown). Additionally, a cooler may be built in to send cooled air.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the automatic fried rice making machine according to the present invention is equipped with the stirring container 1 having the blade plates 2 diagonal to the rotation axis, and the heating mechanism 7, so that the rice R and the ingredients can be mixed. ,
By uniformly mixing and heating oil etc. in a short time,
It is possible to bake the whole thing evenly.

Therefore, high-quality fried rice can be baked quickly and automatically.
This makes mass production possible using mechanical power.

In addition, by disposing the blower 19 in a position close to the ventilation/exhaust hole 6 of the stirring container 1 and adopting a method of circulating air within the stirring container 1, the cooling effect on the cooked rice R, etc. is extremely large, and the cooling effect is good. This produces fried 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.
