Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a hoe which has an extension mechanism for adjusting the shape of the crepe after the skewer removal process, and more particularly, to the extension mechanism for reliably forming the crepe in the extension mechanism without staying. The present invention relates to a chikuwa manufacturing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Scraps that have been fired in a skewered state are skewered as shown in FIG. That is, the skewer 9 that penetrates the central portion of the chikuwa Ca (shown by the chain line) in the lengthwise direction is extracted in the direction of the white arrow. At this time, the chikuwa is regulated by one guide side plate 11 (right side in the drawing) of the conveyance guide and compressed in the length direction to form C.
It deforms as shown by b (shown by a solid line) and falls on the guide bottom plate 8. Because this kind of skewer removal is done, Chikuwa C
An enlarged portion Ce is formed on one side of b to have a distorted shape.

Therefore, in order to shape the deformed wedge Cb, an extension mechanism as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-41115 is adopted. FIG. 4 is a plan view of this extension mechanism, in which the large roll 4 and the small roll 5 are arranged in parallel, and a gap G that is smaller than the outer diameter of the gap C is formed between the rolls 4 and 5. By passing the chihuahua C through the chikuwa passage gap G, the enlarged diameter portion Ce is expanded in the lengthwise direction while being reduced in diameter, and the shape of the chikuwa C is made uniform. The large roll 4 and the small roll 5 are configured to rotate in the same direction, the large roll 4 is set to have a rotation speed of each roll so as to have a higher peripheral speed than the small roll 5, and the chikuwa C is centered on the longitudinal axis. It is configured to fall along the rotation direction of the large roll 4 while rotating.

However, in the above structure, the chikuwa C
If b falls between the rolls 4 and 5 in parallel with the rolls 4 and 5, it will pass through the passage gap G instantly, so that there is a possibility that the extension of the chikuwa is not sufficiently performed.

Chikuwa C after the skewer removal process is roll 4,
It does not always fall parallel to 5. For example, Chikuwa C
As a result of one end being compressed more than the other end by skewer removal, a weight difference occurs at both ends, so as shown in FIG.
One end Ce of the above falls below the other end, and one end enters between the rolls 4 and 5 first. In this case, when the chikuwa C passes through the passing gap G, the chikuwa C is not positioned parallel to the rolls 4 and 5 but passes in an inclined state. Because of this, Chikuwa C
Since it is not sandwiched by the rolls 4 and 5 from its one end to the other end at the same time, there is a possibility that extension in the length direction is not sufficiently performed.

Further, there is a case where the chikuwa C is supplied to the rolls 4 and 5 in an oblique posture as shown in FIG.
In this way, when the chikuwa of the inclined posture is mixed, it does not smoothly pass through the chikuwa passing gap G, and together with the chikuwa C that is supplied one after another, a clogging as shown in Fig. 5 is formed on the chikuwa passing gap G. Raise to cause retention. When such a stagnation occurs, the entire chikuwa manufacturing apparatus is temporarily stopped, and the cluttered hoes cannot be removed by hand, resulting in a decrease in production efficiency and an increase in labor cost.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the object of the present invention is to perform stretching and shaping of chikuwa by reliably holding the chichiwa in the passage gap between the stretching rolls for a long time. (EN) It is possible to provide a chikuwa manufacturing apparatus that can move smoothly without being clogged and retained by the chikuwa supplied to the chikuwa extension mechanism.

[0008]

The present invention, which has achieved the above object, has a gist in that three or more stretching rolls are arranged in parallel to form two or more chikuwa passage gaps.

In addition to the above construction, the gist of the present invention is to dispose a delivery vane above the extension roll to feed the rolls one by one after temporarily stopping the movement and fall of the chikuwa.

In a further preferred embodiment, the stretching roll diameters are at least two different sizes.

[0011]

According to the present invention, by disposing three or more stretching rolls in parallel to form two or more chikuwa passage gaps,
Chikuwa stretch shaping is performed stepwise in at least two or more steps. That is, when the chikuwa passes through the chikuwa passing gap, stretch shaping is performed by being sandwiched between the rolls facing each other, but since the passing gaps are formed at a plurality of places, the chikuwa rolls facing each other in these passing gaps. It is sandwiched and held for a long time.

Further, in combination with the above structure, a delivery blade is provided above the extension roll to temporarily stop the movement and fall of the chikuwa and then feed the blades one by one. First, the chikuwa is restricted to a posture parallel to the stretching roll.

In a further preferred embodiment, the stretching rolls have different diameters of at least 2 or more, so that the roll disposing space can be reduced when three or more stretching rolls are disposed.

1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the present invention.
The fired C is placed on the transport guide 1 and supplied to the upper left of the drawing. The transport guides 1 are connected by a chain mechanism, and can be swingably divided into individual guide side plates 11 at a curved portion indicated by an arrow A.

As shown in FIG. 3, each of the guide side plates 11 is composed of a pair of left and right sides, and a gutter-shaped guide bottom plate 8 is bridged between them, and the guide bottom plate 8 corresponding to the lower half of the chikuwa is provided. Hold the chikuwa after removing the skewers.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, a curved restricting plate 12 for restricting the protrusion of the chichiwa C is provided on the right side of the carrying guide 1, and the chipping and falling movement of the chikuwa C is carried out below the carrying guide 1. A plate-shaped chute 2 for guiding the is arranged.

Further, on the right side of the chute 2, transfer blades 3, 3 which rotate in the direction of arrow B are arranged in parallel with extension rolls 4, 5a which will be described later. The delivery blade 3 is connected to a rotation driving device 31 and is configured to rotate at a constant speed.
This rotation speed is set so as to be synchronized with the intermittent supply of the chikuwa that moves down the chute 2.

Below the chute 2, a large roll 4 and small rolls 5a, 5b and 5c are arranged in parallel as an extension mechanism, and the large roll 4 is driven by a driving device (not shown).
And small rolls 5a, 5b, 5c are indicated by arrows D1, D2, D
3, D4 is configured to rotate in the direction (same direction).

Large roll 4 and small rolls 5a, 5b, 5c
Chikuwa passage gaps G1, G2, and G3 are formed between and. In this embodiment, the gap of the chikuwa passage gap G1 is set larger than the gap of G2. As a result, the chichiwa C easily enters the passage gap G1 and easily passes through the passage gap G1 while maintaining the parallel posture with respect to the roll. Since this chikuwa passage gap G1 is set to be slightly smaller than the outer shape of the chikuwa, the flow is smoothly performed. And here Chikuwa C will receive a little initial growth.

The peripheral speed of the large roll 4 is preferably set higher than the peripheral speed of the other small rolls 5a, 5b, 5c. As a result, the chikuwa C easily flows downstream.

The small rolls 5a, 5b, 5c are rotatably supported by a bracket 50, and the bracket 50 is connected to a moving mechanism 51 via an advancing / retreating shaft 52. By rotating a handle 53, Through the advancing / retreating shaft 52 and the bracket 50, an arrow x
It is configured to move back and forth in the -y direction.

The movement and extension of the chikuwa C in the above apparatus are carried out as follows.

That is, the chikuwa C after the skewer removal process is placed on the guide bottom plate 8 of the conveyance guide 1 and moved, and the arrow A
At the portion indicated by (3), the swing guide is dropped from the conveyance guide 1 to the chute 2.

At this time, the posture of the chikuwa C may be various, such as in a state parallel to the large roll 4 (or the small roll 5a) for extension or in a state inclined at an angle. By being stopped, all the chikuwa C are in a parallel posture with respect to the large roll 4 and then fall down the lower part of the chute 2.

Then, the falling hoop C on the large roll 4 is introduced into the crevice passing gap G1 by the rotation of the large roll 4. Further, while the small roll 5a imparts a rotation opposite to that of the large roll 4 to the large roll 4, the small roll 5a is acted on by the rotation of the large roll 4 having a high peripheral speed to pass through the large gap 4 in parallel with the large roll 4.

Further, by passing through the chikuwa passing gaps G2 and G3, which are set to have a narrower gap than the passing gap G1, the chikuwa C is stretched and shaped stepwise, so that the enlarged diameter portion Ce as shown in FIG. 2 is formed. Reduce the diameter to a uniform shape.
The chikuwa passage gap G2 may be set larger than G3, or may be set to be the same as or smaller than G3. The point is that it is designed so that the extension shaping of the chikuwa can be surely performed at one of these intervals. good.

FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C are side views showing another example of the extension mechanism of the present invention.

(A) Rolls 4, 5a, 5b having the same diameter
Are arranged in parallel and two adjacent chikuwa passage gaps G1, G
2, the peripheral speed of the roll 4 is set higher than the peripheral speeds of the other rolls 5a and 5b, and the chikuwa passage gap G1 is set larger than the gap G2. Therefore, the chikuwa C passes through the chikuwa passing gaps G1 and G2 while being extended stepwise, and the chikuwa C can easily pass to the chikuwa passing gap G1.

Further, in (B), three pairs of upper and lower roll groups are arranged in parallel, and three chikuwa passage gaps G1, G are provided.
2, G3 are formed, and the pair of left rolls 4a, 4b, 4c each have a larger diameter than the right rolls 5a, 5b, 5c, and the pair of rolls with a gap therebetween have the same rotational speed. And, the chikuwa is configured to drop downward due to the difference in peripheral speed. Further, the gaps of the chikuwa passage gaps are set to be gradually narrowed to G1, G2 and G3, and the chichiwa is smoothly stretched and shaped similarly to the above-mentioned (A).

(C) uses rolls having three kinds of diameters, and the small rolls 5a and 5b are arranged in parallel facing the large roll 4 to form two chikuwa passage gaps G1 and G2.
The small rolls 5a and 5b are connected to the moving mechanisms 51 and 51, respectively, so that the gap distance can be changed and adjusted individually. The gap of the chikuwa passage gap G1 is set larger than the gap G2,
Stepwise extension is performed to prevent clogging in the chikuwa passage gap G1.

In the case where a plurality of small rolls are arranged in parallel as shown in FIG. 1, the number of small rolls can be set to any number of 2 or more, but preferably in the range of 2 to 5 in the machine space. Is recommended not to be too large.

Although the number of delivery blades 3 is two, the number of delivery blades 3 can be changed to an arbitrary number of 1 or more. When a plurality of delivery blades are adopted, the chikuwa are temporarily reserved between adjacent blades. Further, the drive mechanism of the delivery blade is not limited to the constant speed rotational drive, and may be an intermittent rotational drive, or may be an advancing / retreating movement with respect to the chute 2 by an expansion / contraction cylinder or the like. It doesn't matter.

[0033]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

In the chikuwa manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, since the passing gaps are formed at a plurality of positions between the rolls arranged in parallel, the chikuwa are sufficiently time-sensitive to the rolls facing each other in these passing gaps. It was sandwiched and held for a long time, and the stretch shaping of Chikuwa was performed reliably.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the delivery blades can be used to feed the chikuwa into the chikuwa passage gap in a posture parallel to the roll, it is possible to prevent the chikuwa from clogging and staying in the passage gap as much as possible. Became. As a result, the production efficiency of Chikuwa was improved compared to the past, and labor costs could be reduced.

In the chikuwa manufacturing apparatus of the third aspect, the diameters of the stretching rolls are different from each other by at least 2 or more, so that the roll disposing space is small when three or more stretching rolls are disposed. Therefore, the extension mechanism can be prevented from becoming a large device.
