Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a noodle draining device. Specifically, the present invention relates to a noodle draining device that removes moisture from boiled noodles stored in a mesh-like boiling basket.

(Conventional technology) As a conventional noodle drainer, for example, the Jikosho
62-3034 "Drainer for noodles" (conventional example) is known. In the conventional example, a receiver having a shape and size that fits a noodle boiling basket, and with a dewatering pipe hanging from the bottom, is airtightly fitted and attached to a draining tube, and the draining tube is A drainer for noodles, characterized in that a pipe connected to a vacuum suction device is connected to the top of the drainer, and a drain pipe with a built-in non-return valve is connected to the bottom of the drainer.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional example, a mesh-like filter body is placed at the bottom of the receiver to prevent scrap noodles from flowing into the interior and clogging the valve part. Although it can be attached removably, there is a limit to where it can be attached, so there is a limit to the size of the filter body, which poses the problem of easy clogging.

Furthermore, in the conventional example, the boiling basket is stored in a receiver, but the receiver is further stored in a colander with a space provided near the bottom, and the water is drained by a suction pipe installed at the top of the colander. The air inside the cylinder is sucked. Therefore, since a space exists between the boiling basket and the upper end of the suction pipe, the suction becomes indirect, resulting in a problem that the suction efficiency for draining the boiling basket is lacking. Further, since the pressure reduction in the colander and the pressure reduction in the receiver and boiling basket are performed in two stages, there is a problem in that failures are likely to occur.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention has an opening in the upper part for the boiling basket to enter, a hole in the lower part, a receiving part consisting of an inner periphery in which the boiling basket can be stored, and a receiving part in the upper end. a connecting pipe that is connected to the hole, an adsorption chamber that is connected to the lower end of the connecting pipe at the bottom and has a fan on the top that sucks and exhausts the gas in the room, and a plurality of dust collecting plates each having a plurality of holes. A suction device is installed in a suction chamber so that the holes of adjacent dust collection plates do not overlap with each other in the vertical direction and are spaced apart from each other, and the plate surfaces face toward the fan, and the suction device and A noodle drainer comprising: a filter section installed between the fan, a connecting pipe connected to a hole provided at the bottom of the adsorption chamber, and a check valve installed downstream from the bottom of the adsorption chamber. and, The noodle drainer is characterized in that the dust collecting plate is made of an arc-shaped plate with both ends lowered.The problems of the conventional noodle drainer installation are solved by providing the noodle drainer.

(Function) Noodles that have been stored in a boiling basket and boiled by immersing them in boiling water are placed in the receiving part while being stored in the boiling basket. Therefore, the fan is driven to suck gas from the adsorption chamber side. Since it is sucked by a fan, the boiling water in the boiling basket is sucked together with foreign substances such as sticky substances and liquid substances, and the noodles in the boiling basket are drained.

Hot water and foreign matter are led to the connecting pipe and reach the adsorption chamber. When the pressure inside the adsorption chamber is reduced, the non-return valve is activated and blocks the downstream side of the adsorption chamber from the bottom, so that the pressure reduction by the fan is not hindered. When the fan is deactivated, the backflow prevention section is deactivated and the hot water and foreign matter are discharged to the outside through the connecting pipe.

Foreign matter drawn by the fan provided above the bottom of the adsorption chamber comes into contact with the dust collection plate and is prevented from rising further. At this time, since the holes in the dust collecting plates do not overlap vertically, the foreign matter hits one of the dust collecting plate surfaces, is blocked by the dust collecting plate, and is prevented from rising further. Further rising foreign matter is stopped and attached to the filter portion and does not rise to the fan.

When the fan is deactivated, the backflow prevention section is deactivated and the hot water and foreign matter are discharged to the outside through the connecting pipe.

The hot water and foreign matter blocked by the dust collecting plate are guided to the dust collecting plate and fall through the gap between the dust collecting plate and the wall of the adsorption chamber to the lower part of the adsorption chamber, reaching the bottom of the adsorption chamber.

If the noodle draining device is configured such that the dust collecting plate is an arcuate plate with both ends lowered, water droplets and foreign matter will reach the bottom of the adsorption chamber more smoothly.

to be transmitted. Then, the motor 23 is driven, the fan 22 is rotated, and air is sucked from the receiving portion 12 side. Since the hot water in the boiling basket A is sucked by the fan 22, the hot water in the boiling basket A is sucked together with foreign substances such as sticky substances and liquid substances, and the noodles in the boiling basket A are drained. The hot water and foreign matter are led to the connecting pipe 16 and reach the inside of the adsorption chamber 21.

On the other hand, when the motor 23 is operated and the pressure inside the adsorption chamber 21 is reduced, the check valve 26 is operated and blocks the connecting pipe 25, so that the pressure reduction by the fan 23 is not hindered. The heavy object extends from the bottom of the adsorption chamber 21 to the hole 24 and the connecting pipe 26. When the reduced pressure in the adsorption chamber 21 is released, the operation of the backflow prevention part 26 is released.
The hot water and foreign matter are discharged to the outside through the connecting pipe 26.

On the other hand, foreign matter drawn by the fan 22 further above the bottom surface of the adsorption chamber 21 comes into contact with the dust collection plate 32 and is prevented from rising further. At this time, the dust collection plate 3
Since the two holes do not overlap vertically, the foreign matter hits the dust collecting plate 32, is blocked by the dust collecting plate 32, and is prevented from rising further. The foreign matter blocked by the dust collecting plate 32 is guided to the dust collecting plate 32 with both ends lowered, and is drawn into the suction chamber 21 through the gap between the dust collecting plate 32 and the inner wall of the suction chamber 21.
It falls to the bottom and reaches the bottom of the adsorption chamber 21. Foreign matter that rises further, such as sticky matter, is removed from the filter section 41.
It is stopped by the filter cloth and does not rise to the fan 22.
