Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an automatic apparatus for producing rolled SUSHI excellent in workability, consisting of a hopper unit, a delivering device and a winding device equipped with the delivering device and capable of certainly winding up even a small size of rolled SUSHI (vinegared rice with fish and vegetables) and easily tightening SUSHIMESHI (rice seasoned with vinegar, sugar and salt). CONSTITUTION:This automatic apparatus 1 for producing rolled SUSHI consists of a feeder 2 consisting of a hopper unit, a belt conveyer 5 and a press roller unit 6 and a winding device 3 consisting of a conveyer 10, a cutting unit for SUSHIMESHI, a dried seaweed feeding unit 12 and a winding mechanism 13. A reed screen belt material 17 capable of winding the SUSHIMESHI 4 put with SUSHI ingredients into a small path stretched by opening an arm 21 is disposed. When the reed screen belt material 17 is loosened by closing the arm 21 through an opening and shutting device, a forming dog 18 freely removable and having a given diameter hangs down by its own weight at the same time. The belt material 17 is formed to nearly cylindrical form by the forming dog and the SUSHIMESHI 4 is wound up by rotating the belt material 17 and further tightened by pressing with a tightening roller unit 19 to obtain MAKIZUSHI (rolled SUSHI).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic sushi roll manufacturing apparatus, the purpose of which is to reliably roll up small sushi rolls such as kappa rolls, iron fire rolls, natto rolls, and gourd rolls. Moreover, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic sushi production device capable of tightening sushi.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a roll sushi manufacturing apparatus uses long dried nori seaweed, and sushi rice and sushi material are placed on the upper part of the dried seaweed to pass between rollers which are placed opposite each other. The dried nori seaweed on which the sushi rice and sushi material were placed was wound around a Teflon (trade name) belt to produce rolled sushi.

[0003]

However, a belt made of Teflon (trade name) can only be wound up to a certain range, and a large sushi roll such as a thick roll can be rolled up, but a kappa roll, It was difficult to manufacture rolls of small diameter such as iron rolls, natto rolls, and gourd rolls. Moreover, since the rolled sushi is made by simply winding the dried seaweed on which the sushi rice and sushi material are placed with a belt made of Teflon (trade name), the tightening of this rolled sushi is not enough and when you eat it The sushi rice was scattered and this sushi rice could fall off, which was not preferable.

In view of the above situation, the inventor of the present invention can reliably roll up sushi rolls having a small diameter such as kappa rolls, iron rolls, natto rolls, and gourd rolls, and can tighten the sushi rolls. We continued our earnest research on an automatic sushi production system that can be used.

[0005]

That is, the present invention is an automatic sushi production apparatus comprising a hopper, a feeding device, and a winding device connected to the feeding mechanism, the feeding device being a belt conveyor and the belt conveyor. The sushi rice supplied from the hopper is provided above and of the pressing roller portion that forms a substantially plate-like shape.The winding device arranges the sushi material on the substantially plate-shaped sushi rice. Consists of a conveyer to be transferred, a sushi rice cutting unit, a dry seaweed supply unit for supplying dry seaweed to the lower part of the sushi rice, and a winding mechanism, and the upper part of the conveyor is arranged at a position lower than the height of the belt conveyor. The dry seaweed supply unit is arranged between the feeding devices, the sushi rice cutting unit is arranged near the end of the belt conveyor, and the hoisting mechanism includes the support unit and the rotation shaft unit on the support unit. Approximately V through the switching means are supported by
A hoisting body composed of two arms that open and close in a letter shape, and a blind shape that is rotatably arranged around the hoisting body and can be wound into a small diameter that is supported in a stretched state when the arms are opened. Belt member, a detachable dog having a required diameter, which is provided above the arm and forms a loose belt member between the arms when the arm is closed, and a belt when the arm is closed. The automatic sushi production apparatus is characterized in that it comprises a tightening roller portion that presses a member to rotate the belt member to wind up and tighten dry seaweed.

[0006]

[Function] The sushi rice on which the sushi material is arranged is arranged on a belt-shaped belt member which can be wound around a small diameter stretched with the arm opened, and the arm is closed via the opening / closing means. As the belt member in the interstitial part becomes loose, the forming dog which is detachable and has a required diameter is lowered by its own weight, the belt member is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape by this forming dog, and the sushi rice on which the sushi material is arranged is rolled up, The sushi rice on which the sushi material is arranged is rolled up by pressing the tightening roller portion to rotate the belt member, and the sushi rice on which the sushi material is arranged is tightened to form a sushi roll. Therefore, it is possible to reliably roll up even a small-sized roll sushi such as a kappa roll, an iron roll, a natto roll, and a gourd roll, and it is possible to tighten the sushi rice easily.
