The third blade may be provided beyond the second blades 5 to reciprocate in the different direction from both the first and second blades 4, 5 to slice the gels which have been sliced by the first and second blades in the different direction from these ones or a guide frame 7 may be set in the space between adjacent slicing blades for guiding the gel 1 into the space.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a konjac manufacturing apparatus for ejecting an elongated konjac like a tokoroten from a konjac formed into a block such as a large konjac.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A general large-sized konjac has a width of 260 mm, a length of 160 mm, a height of 70 mm to a width of 420 mm, and a length of 1.
It is 80 mm in height and 80 mm in height, and the konjac cut out from this is 70 mm wide, 160 mm long, and 2 high.
The size is about 5 mm. Conventionally, there has been the following device for producing a long stalk, such as Tokoroten, from such a block-shaped konjac.

An example of a conventional konnyaku manufacturing apparatus is shown in FIG. This is a rectangular box-shaped pushing chamber B into which the konjac A formed in a block shape can be pushed, and an opening portion C through which the konjac A pushed into the pushing chamber B can be projected to the outside. A lattice blade E, in which a large number of cutting blades D are assembled in a lattice shape vertically and horizontally at predetermined intervals, is set ahead of the opening C in the pushing direction. In this konjac manufacturing apparatus, when the konjac A is pushed into the pushing chamber B and the konjac A is pushed out to the lattice blade E at the tip of the opening C,
The konjac A is sliced by the lattice blade E so that the rectangular elongated konjac A is extruded.

[0004]

However, the konjac manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. 3 has the following problems. While the konjac A is being cut, the fibers of the konjac A and the lime mixed during the konjac production adhere to the lattice blade E, and the sharpness of the lattice blade E gradually deteriorates. If the sharpness of the lattice blade E becomes poor, the konjac A cannot be cut smoothly, the shape of the cut surface is lost, and it becomes impossible to manufacture a well-formed konjac. For this reason, conventionally, the lattice blade E was often cleaned, but the labor was very troublesome. In addition, the production of konnyaku had to be temporarily stopped each time, which was also a cause of a decrease in work efficiency.

The object of the present invention is to keep the sharpness of the blade,
An object of the present invention is to provide a konjac manufacturing apparatus capable of continuously producing beautiful konjac.

The sliced konjac 1 is finely sliced by the slicing blade 5 to form a rectangular elongated elongated konjac 1. Further, in this device, since the first slicing blade 4 and the second slicing blade 5 reciprocate, respectively, the fibers and lime of konjac 1 do not easily adhere to the first slicing blade 4 and the second slicing blade 5, and the slicing is always performed The blades 4 and 5 are kept in good sharpness, saving the labor of cleaning.
You can get a well-formed konjac with a clean cut surface.

In the konjac manufacturing apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention, the tip of the second slice blade 5 is reciprocally movable in a direction different from the movable direction of the first and second slice blades 4 and 5. Since the third slicing blade 6 for slicing the konjac 1 sliced by the both slicing blades 4 and 5 in a different direction from those is provided, the first and second slicing blades 4 and 5 are rectangular and elongated. The sliced konjac 1 is further sliced with a third slicing blade 6 to form a triangular peony 1
Can be
