Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a mochi making machine that steams glutinous rice in the same hopper and then makes it into mochi.

(Prior art) In general, in this type of mochi pounding machine, it is desirable that the mochi pounding blades, which are installed at the bottom of the hopper and rotated by a motor, be rotated at around 500 revolutions per minute by decelerating the rotation of the motor with a belt. It was said that

For this reason, the speed reduction device of the conventional mochi pounding machine is, for example, as shown in Figure 3.
29918 Publication) Steam tank 2 on angle 21
A motor 23 is disposed adjacent to the steam tank 22, and a bearing cylinder part 24 is integrally installed in the center of the steam tank 22, and a shaft 25 is connected to the shaft 25 through a bearing in a liquid-tight manner. It is inserted into. The upper end of the shaft 25 is connected to the steam tank 22.
Penetrate the bottom of the hopper 26 provided at the top of the
A blade 27 is provided at this projecting end. Also shaft 2
A large pulley 28 is connected to the lower part of the motor 23.
A belt 30 was stretched between the small pulley 29 and the small pulley 29.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the conventional mochi pounding machine mentioned above, the pitch between the large pulley and the small pulley is longer than necessary due to the temperature rise of the motor due to the steam tank, and as a result, the pitch of the large pulley and small pulley is longer than necessary. The bottom area is large, which has the disadvantage of taking up space both when cooking and when storing.

On the other hand, as a solution to this problem, a motor is placed below the angle and the distance between the two pulleys is shortened. A vertical gap is required between the steam tank and the motor, which results in a narrower bottom area, but it also increases the height of the hopper, which reduces the stability of the vessel when pounding mochi in the hopper. However, neither configuration was satisfactory.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a mochi pounding machine that eliminates the conventional drawbacks, reduces the bottom area of the vessel, ensures stability during mochi pounding, is easy to use, and has excellent storage capacity. It is.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The mochi pounding machine of the present invention includes a hopper with blades built into the bottom, a steam tank equipped with a heater that generates steam guided into the hopper, and a central part of the steam tank. and at its upper end,
a shaft that engages the blade and is integrally provided with a large pulley at its lower part; a bearing metal that is disposed below the steam tank and that is integrally provided with a bearing metal into which the shaft is rotatably inserted; , a belt stretched between the large pulley of the shaft and a small pulley provided on the rotating shaft of the motor, a bearing fitting and a steam tank on the top surface, and a small pulley passed through from below, and the motor on that plane. It consists of angles that are screwed together.

(Function) With the above configuration, the pitch between the two pulleys becomes narrower, and the height of the hopper does not increase, making it possible to realize a compact mochi pounding machine.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the main parts of the rice cake making machine of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the same. In the figure, 1 is a body, 2 is a ceiling frame that covers the top opening of the body 1, and serves as both a steamer and a rice cake making box, and covers a hopper 3 whose inner surface is made of an aluminum plate or the like that is treated with fluororesin. It's on. 4 is a lid that is pivotably supported at one end on the ceiling frame 2 and placed in the upper opening of the hopper 3 so that it can be opened and closed; 5 is a synthetic resin blade built into the bottom of the hopper 3; 6 is a sheath on the outer bottom. It is a steam tank in which a heater 7 is attached to form a steam generation chamber, and a bearing cylinder part 8 is integrally installed in the center of the steam tank. , and removably engage the hopper 3 in an airtight manner. Reference numeral 11 denotes a bearing metal fitting disposed below the center of the steam tank 6, and is press-fitted into the bearing metal 12 approximately in the center thereof so as to be integrated. 13 is bearing metal 1
The upper part of the shaft passes through the inside of the bearing cylinder part 8 of the steam tank 6 and penetrates the bottom part of the hopper 3, and the protruding end has a blade 5.
Equipped with Further, a large pulley 14 is press-fitted into the lower part of the shaft 13 and is continuous therewith. Reference numeral 15 designates an angle having a substantially U-shaped cross section to which the steam tank 6 and the bearing fitting 11 are fixed by screwing or the like on its upper surface, and on its back surface there is a small pulley 1 provided on the rotating shaft 17a at the tip.
A motor 17 protruding from an opening 15a provided in an angle 15 is fixed. 18 is a belt stretched between the large pulley 14 and the small pulley 16. 19 is an oil seal provided at the upper end of the bearing cylinder part 8 of the steam tank 6;
3 is inserted airtightly.

The assembly procedure for the mochi pounding machine configured as described above will be explained.

First, E
Position with the ring. Next, the bearing fitting 11 through which the shaft 13 is passed is screwed onto the angle 15, and the belt 18 is hung around the large pulley 14. Furthermore, motor 17
The small pulley 16 at the tip is passed through the opening 15a from below the angle 15, the belt 18 is hung on the small pulley 16 side, and the motor 17 is screwed onto the angle 15 while applying a predetermined tension to the belt 18. Then, the shaft 13 is fitted into the bearing cylinder part 8 of the steam tank 6 which is integrated with the ceiling frame 2 by screwing, and the shaft 13 is inserted into the bearing cylinder part 8.
After inserting the bearing metal 12 into the lower part of the steam tank 6, the steam tank 6 is screwed onto the angle 15 to complete the assembly.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the bearing metal 11 is provided between the steam tank 6 and the angle 15, and the bearing metal 12 is press-fitted into the bearing metal 11, and its tip is inserted into the steam tank 6. This makes it easier to assemble the belt between the large pulley 14 and the small pulley 16, and improves reliability in terms of durability during rotation.

(Effect of the invention) According to the invention, the shaft penetrates through the center of the steam tank, the upper end engages the blade installed in the bottom of the hopper, and the lower part is integrally equipped with a large pulley, and the steam A bearing fitting that is placed below the tank and is integrally equipped with a bearing metal into which the shaft is rotatably inserted, a large pulley that transmits the belt to the shaft, and a belt that is stretched between a small pulley on the motor. The upper surface has a bearing fitting and a steam tank, and a small pulley passes through it from below, and the motor is screwed onto the lower surface of the angle.The bottom area is narrow and the height of the hopper is also low. It is possible to realize a compact mochi pounding machine that is not too expensive and has good stability, and its practical effects are great.
