Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a mixer for mixing powder with water, capable of carrying out stable and uniform kneading by preventing adhesion of powder to casing inner surfaces and effectively producing gluten and suitable for obtaining noodle dough. CONSTITUTION:In a long cylindrical easing 1 equipped with a screw wing 5 for feeding powder and an agitating wing in the top part of the screw wing 5, a shower nozzle 9 provided with fine holes for water jetting is attached to a water supply port 8 positioned in the upper casing part faced on the feed final end part of the screw wing 5.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a so-called powdered water mixer for producing buckwheat noodles and noodles by kneading powders such as wheat flour and buckwheat flour with water such as water, canned water and salt. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional powder water mixer suitable for comparison with the present invention is a horizontally long cylindrical casing having a powder supply port on the base end side and a water powder extraction port on the tip side. , A powder feeding screw blade at a portion located at the powder supply port, and a rotating shaft provided with a stirring blade projecting at a required interval at a portion ahead of the screw blade, It is known that a water supply port connected to a water supply pump is provided in an upper casing portion facing the feed end portion.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the powder water mixer described in the prior art, a thick rod-shaped water having a full cross-sectional area (about 6 mm) from the water supply port is directly applied to the powder sent to the stirring blade portion. Since it is an addition method, due to the mass of water and the slow flow rate, it is inevitable that water will be easily resisted by the powder,
Therefore, the water is splashed on the inner surface of the casing, and the powder comes into contact with the water splashed on the inner surface. The powder in front of the adhered part continues to be added, causing a phenomenon of clumping in a dumpling, resulting in uneven mixing of a soft powder part containing excess water and a powder part not containing water. This kneading also causes frictional heat due to resistance at the time of feeding the powder, which is a cause of not being able to obtain satisfactory kneading for sufficiently producing gluten.

Therefore, the present invention prevents the water from being splashed to the inner surface of the casing by adding thin linear water from the water supply port, thereby preventing the powder from adhering to the inner surface of the casing and providing a stable and uniform surface. The purpose is to promote proper kneading.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a horizontally long cylindrical casing having a powder supply port at the upper end on the base end side and a take-out port for water powder at the lower end on the tip end side. A powder feeding screw blade at a site located at the powder supply port, and a rotating shaft provided with a stirring blade projecting at a required interval at a portion ahead of the screw blade, and the screw blade of the screw blade. In a powder water mixer of the type in which a water supply port connected to a water supply pump is provided in the upper casing portion facing the feed end part, the water supply port is formed by a shower nozzle having water injection fine holes. To do.

[0006]

EXAMPLE 1 1 is a horizontally long cylindrical casing having a powder supply port 2 in the upper part on the base end side and a water powder extraction port 3 in the lower part on the tip side. A rotary shaft 4 is mounted inside the casing 1, and a screw blade 5 for powder feeding is provided on a shaft portion of the rotary shaft 4 facing the powder supply port 2, and a front side of the screw blade 5 is provided. A stirring blade 6 is provided on the shaft portion of the rotary shaft 4 so as to project at a required interval.
One side shaft end projects outside the casing, and the driving means 7 is connected to the projecting shaft portion. Further, a water supply port 8 connected to a water supply pump (not shown) is provided in the upper casing portion facing the feed end portion of the screw blade 5, and a shower nozzle 9 is attached to the water supply port 8.

The shower nozzle 9 has a thin plate 10 having an outer diameter of about 6 mm, six fine holes 10 for water injection provided at equal intervals on the plate, and a water reservoir facing the plate. A sleeve 13 having a chamber 12 and a hose 15 connected to the sleeve via a tightening nut 14 are connected to the water supply pump (not shown) described above.

[0008]

The powder is supplied to the powder supply port 2 in a vibrated state, and the supplied powder falls to the position of the screw blade 5 rotating at a high speed and the stirring blade 6
On the other hand, since water is jetted from the water supply port 8 through the fine holes 10 of the shower nozzle 9 in a thin line at a high speed,
The water is taken into the powder as it is without being splashed to the inner surface of the casing, and therefore the powder is stirred without adhering to the inner surface of the casing and taken out from the outlet 3 as a uniformly kneaded soda-like powder. It is what is done.

In the above embodiment, since both ends of the rotary shaft 4 are supported by the bearing portions 16, there is a concern that lubricating oil may be mixed into the powder in the casing through the gaps in the bearing portions 16. Therefore, in this example, an example is shown in which the oil intrusion prevention plate 17 facing the gap between the bearings is fixed to the shaft end of the rotary shaft 4. The intrusion prevention plate 17 is
In this example, an example in which the rotary shaft 4 is provided at both ends is shown, but only the take-out side may be provided.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (A) Since the water supply port of the casing connected to the water supply pump is formed by the shower nozzle provided with the water injection fine holes,
Water is jetted at high speed through fine pores in the form of thin lines, whereby water can be directly incorporated into the powder. That is, since water is not splashed to the inner surface of the casing by the powder as in the conventional case, the phenomenon of the powder clumping in a dumpling is eliminated, and a uniformly mixed hydrolyzed powder can be obtained. (B) At the same time, frictional heat is not generated in the powder moving in the casing, and gluten production can be validated.
