Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flour kneading machine for noodle making.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In many kneading machines for noodle making, an agitating blade is rotated from the outside in an almost horizontal cylindrical drum by external power to knead the raw material flour and a necessary amount of water in a short time. There is also a vertical type, but a shaft is provided in the center of a bowl-shaped container, and a few blades are attached to the shaft to stir and knead. Of course, since the blades have different shape angles, the kneading powder is kneaded by being stirred vertically and horizontally.

A kneading machine for continuously feeding a large amount of raw materials and kneading the kneaded material continuously or by stopping and discharging by a time-controlled method is a vertical kneading machine, although a horizontal one is used. Was unthinkable. On the other hand, from the necessity of manufacturing noodles and foods, even if the same product is continuously manufactured by one model, it is also necessary to suddenly manufacture a small amount of various products.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a kneading machine which is rich in variety and can be produced in large quantities and small quantities in a vertical cylinder.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention divides a vertical cylinder for noodle making into a plurality of chambers by a horizontal partition plate, and a rotary shaft is provided at the center of the cylinder, A shaft is provided with a plurality of stirring blades for each chamber, a raw material upper surface sensor is provided at the upper part of each chamber, an opening and an opening / closing plate are provided at the partition plate of each chamber, and a detection signal by the sensor of each chamber According to the kneading machine for noodle making, which is provided with a control device for operating the opening / closing plate.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the stirring blade 3 in each compartment a is simultaneously rotated by rotating the uppermost rotary shaft 2.

In this state, cereal flour and water are supplied to the uppermost compartment a and kneaded by the stirring blade 3. When the upper surface of the raw material upper surface sensor 10 confirms the upper surfaces of the flour and water, a space s remains between the upper surface and the top plate of the compartment a.

In this state, a detection signal is sent from the sensor 10 to the control device c, and a signal is sent from the control device c to the opening / closing device 5 "of the opening / closing plate 5 to operate the opening / closing plate 5 to open the opening 5 '. Since it opens, the flour / water mixture in the uppermost compartment a
Moves down to the lower compartment a, and the uppermost compartment a becomes empty, and a command signal is sent from the control device c by an empty signal from the sensor 10 ′ provided at the level of the partition plate 4 to operate the device 5 ″.
Thus, the opening / closing plate 5 closes the opening 5 '.

The above operation is performed from the upper compartment a to the lower compartment a.
When the upper surface sensor 10 detects the upper surface of the kneaded material p, the opening / closing plate 5 is opened and the kneaded material p is unloaded from the opening 5 '.

The above operation can be performed only for the capacity of one compartment a, and subsequently can be sequentially performed in a plurality of compartments a and a, and all compartments from the uppermost stage to the lowermost stage. It can be done simultaneously in a.

EXAMPLE A vertical rotary shaft 2 is provided at the center of a vertical cylinder 1, and several various blades 3 are provided on the rotary shaft 2 for each compartment a.
It is installed for each. The vertical cylinder 1 is partitioned into compartments a by a partition plate 4. The blades 3 of various shapes are attached to the rotary shaft 2, but the shapes are different from each other, and each blade 3 has a shape suitable for stirring and kneading. There is a rotary power 7 on the upper part of the rotary shaft 2, and the flour supply unit 8 is located at any position on the upper part.
And the water supply pipe 9 is installed. In the lowermost compartment a, a drain gutter 6 is attached immediately below an opening / closing plate 5 whose opening 5'is freely opened and closed.

A sensor 10 for leaving a space s is attached to the upper part of each chamber a. Opening / closing plate 5 of opening 5'of each chamber a
Rotate the rotary shaft 2 in the state that the
From the water supply pipe 9, salt water, syrup or the like suitable for the amount of wheat flour supplied is supplied. If the supplied flour gradually increases and reaches the position of the sensor 10,
In response to the signal from the controller c, the flour and the water supply are interlocked by the solenoid valves 8'and 9'to be automatically stopped by the signal. If this happens, the uppermost compartment a
The opening / closing plate 5 is opened, and the state of the opening 5 ′ is such that the amount of falling from the uppermost compartment a to the lower compartment a is proportional to the amount of raw material flour and the amount of water supply. The uppermost compartment a is always stirred at the raw material position up to the sensor 10.

By adjusting and opening the opening / closing plate 5 of the opening 5'of the second, third, and fourth compartments a, the amount of wheat flour supplied from the uppermost wheat flour supply unit 8 and the water supply are the same. The sum of the amount of water supplied from the pipe 9 is the same as the kneading powder falling from the opening / closing plate 5 of the opening 5'of each chamber a, and the kneading powder of uniform quality can always be continuously taken out from the gutter 6. . The sensor 10, the flour raw material supply unit 8, the water supply pipe 9 and the opening / closing plate 5 of the opening 5 ′ attached to the partition plate 4 of each chamber a are the sensor 1
The height of the raw material is detected at the 0'position, and the raw material water and the opening 5 '
The opening and closing of is controlled.

Since the position of the sensor 10 is controlled so that the raw material flour reaches the sensor 10 in each chamber a, a space s is left in the upper part and a space s in which the raw material flour can be sufficiently moved by stirring by the blades 3 is left. It is installed in the position.

Next, when the continuous kneading amount is not required and only a small amount corresponding to the uppermost compartment a of the apparatus is required, the uppermost opening / closing plate 5 of the first chamber is closed until the kneading is completed. At the end of or before kneading, the supply of raw materials and water may be stopped, and then the opening / closing plate 5 of each chamber a may be opened and taken out from the lowermost gutter 6 to the outside.

Reference numeral 11 in the drawing denotes a lower surface rack of the opening / closing plate 5, 12 is a pinion meshing with the rack 11, and 13 is a forward / reverse rotation motor of the pinion 12 to form an opening / closing device 5 ".
