And a molding section 66 for molding.

The hopper 62 has a stirring member 62 inside.
A is provided. The stirring member 62A has a large number of substantially comb-shaped stirring rods protruding in the radial direction of the rotating shaft, and when driven by a motor or the like not shown, stirs the cooked rice 61 and moves the cooked rice 61 from below the hopper 62. It is designed to be delivered to the transport section 63.

The conveying section 63 has a plurality of feed rollers 63A to 63D which rotate clockwise in the figure, and a rolling roller 67 which is arranged to face the feed roller 63D.
The feed rollers 63A to 63D have the same diameter, are arranged such that their axes are arranged in parallel on the same plane, and can be synchronously rotated by a motor or the like (not shown). The rolling roller 67 is the feed roller 63.
The diameter is larger than that of D, and a large number of rectangular irregularities are formed on the peripheral surface. The rolling roller 67 can be rotated at the same peripheral speed as the feed roller 63D by combining various gears (not shown). In other words, the rolling roller 67 and the feed roller 64D are rolling rollers that roll in synchronization with each other.

[0006] Such a transport unit 63 is provided with a large number of cooked rice 61.
Is conveyed by the feed rollers 63A to 63D and passed between the feed roller 63D and the rolling roller 67, so that a large number of cooked rice 61 is pressed into a plate shape having a predetermined thickness and carried out. In addition, this transport unit 63
By adjusting the separation distance of the rolling roller 67 from the feed roller 63D, the thickness dimension of the cooked rice 61 can be appropriately changed.

The molding portion 66 is a molding plate 6 having a substantially rectangular plane.

[0007]

By the way, in the above-mentioned seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus 60, when a large number of cooked rice 61 is conveyed from the hopper 62 between the feed roller 63D and the rolling roller 67, the large number of cooked rice 61 is moved toward the center in the conveying direction. Tend. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), the shrine plate 64 forming the seaweed roll has a substantially semi-cylindrical shape in which the thickness of the edge portion 64A along the transport direction is smaller than the thickness of the central portion 64B when viewed from the rear side in the transport direction. Is often set. Such a shrine plate 64 is placed on the seaweed 70, and is wound so that the transport direction is the winding direction. Therefore, both ends of the completed seaweed roll are short of profit and the appearance of the seaweed roll is spoiled. .

To cope with this problem, the rolling roller 67 is formed in a substantially barrel shape so that the edge 64A of the building plate 64 is formed.
Has been attempted to be larger than the thickness of the central portion 64B. However, this method is not a fundamental solution because the tendency of a large number of cooked rice 61 to move toward the center in the transport direction is not relaxed in the preceding stage between the feed roller 63D and the rolling roller 67. The present invention has been made to solve such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus capable of easily manufacturing seaweed rolls having good appearance.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention comprises a conveying section having a pair of rolling rollers capable of rolling with each other, and the conveying section is In a laver winding manufacturing apparatus in which a large number of cooked rice is pressed into a plate-shaped building plate having a predetermined thickness by passing a large number of cooked rice between the rolling rollers, one of the rolling rollers is substantially In addition to being barrel-shaped, a spiral member that comes into contact with the large number of cooked rice is arranged in a stage before the conveying direction of the conveying unit, and by driving the spiral member, a part of the large number of cooked rice is partially transferred to each of the rolling rollers. The feature is that it can move in the axial direction of.

In this case, as the spiral member, a structure in which a spiral groove is formed on a peripheral surface of a roller formed in a cylindrical shape to form a substantially worm gear shape, or a long strip is formed in a substantially spring shape. It is possible to adopt a structure in which a curved shape is formed. When processing the spiral groove on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical roller, it is preferable to form the spiral groove in a triangular screw shape rather than in a square screw shape. And
A plurality of spiral grooves may be formed on the peripheral surface of the roller,
Alternatively, it may not be formed on the entire peripheral surface of the roller.
Examples of the material of such a spiral member include synthetic resin,
Metals, woods, rocks, pottery, etc. can be adopted, and a material that does not adversely affect cooked rice as a food due to aging or damage may be appropriately selected.

In the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention, since a part of the cooked rice can be moved in the axial direction of each rolling roller by the spiral member, for example, a pair of spiral members are formed on the surface. If they are arranged symmetrically, a substantially barrel-shaped rolling roller can be used to obtain a house plate in which the thickness of both edge portions in the transport direction is greater than the thickness of the central portion. Therefore, in the invention described in claim 1, it is possible to solve the conventional problem that a shortage of profit occurs at the end of the seaweed roll, and thereby the above object is achieved.

Further, according to the invention described in claim 2, since the spiral member is formed in a substantially helical gear shape, a plurality of spiral members are not required, and the constituent parts of the laver winding manufacturing apparatus can be formed. The number can be reduced. Further, the invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that the spiral member and the respective rolling rollers are driven at the same peripheral speed, and various gears, pulleys and the like may be appropriately combined. In the invention described in claim 3,
It is possible to smoothly produce seaweed rolls without causing uneven transportation of a large number of cooked rice.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments described below, the members already described with reference to FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawing to simplify or omit the description. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment according to the present invention.
The seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus 10 in the present embodiment includes a large number of cooked rice 6
1. A hopper 62 into which 1 is charged, a conveyor unit 63 that conveys out a large number of cooked rice 61 delivered from the hopper 62 while pressing it into a plate shape having a predetermined thickness, and a conveying unit 63 that is provided at a subsequent stage in the conveying direction and is compressed. A cutter 65 that cuts the cooked rice 61 into a predetermined length to form a stall plate 64;
The shrine plate 64 is placed on seaweed (not shown), and then the seaweed roll 64 is rolled into a substantially square pole shape to form a seaweed roll.

As shown in FIG. 2 (A), the rolling roller 11 disposed in the conveying section 63 and facing the feed roller 63D has a substantially barrel whose axial end portions are smaller in diameter than the axial central portion. It is formed in a shape. This rolling roller 11
Has rectangular irregularities formed at equal intervals on the peripheral surface so that the cooked rice 61 does not stick to it.

Then, the seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus 10 of this embodiment
The spiral member 20 is arranged upstream of the transport unit 63 in the transport direction. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the spiral member 20 has a substantially helical gear shape in which spiral grooves 22 and 22 are formed from the axial center of the main body portion 21 toward both ends, and the main body portion is formed. Spacer portions 23, 23 are provided on both end portions of 21.
Is provided. As shown in FIG. 4, the main body 21 is
The spiral grooves 22 and 22 are formed in a substantially triangular screw shape having a curved valley bottom. The main body portion 21 is formed into a planar nominal shape in which the spacer portions 23, 23 are integrated around a surface orthogonal to the axis by cutting or molding a cylindrical member made of synthetic resin, for example. ing.

The spiral member 20 has an axial length L1 of, for example, 180 mm and an axial length L2 of, for example, 200 mm. The L1 and L2 are set in consideration of the fact that the seaweed used for winding the seaweed is usually 185 mm × 205 mm rectangular. That is, this spiral member 2
0 is formed corresponding to the case where seaweed is used with the 185 mm side as the winding direction (commonly called vertical winding).
On the other hand, when seaweed is used with the 205 mm side as the winding direction (commonly called horizontal winding), a spiral member having no spacers 23, 23 is separately used.

Such a spiral member 20 has a spiral groove 22,
When the confluence portion 24 of each spiral groove 22, 22 comes into contact with the cooked rice 61 at an appropriate position such that the bottom of the valley 22 comes into contact with the cooked rice 61 (see FIG. 1), the confluence portion 24 causes the cooked rice 61 to move.
Is arranged so as to face the rear side in the transport direction. The spiral member 20 has the same direction as the rotation direction of the rolling roller 11 (clockwise in FIG. 1) and the feed roller 63D and the rolling roller 11 by combining various gears.
It is driven at a peripheral speed equal to the peripheral speed of.

The seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment as described above
In 0, the large number of cooked rice 61 conveyed from the hopper 62 is conveyed by the conveying rollers 63A and 63B.
It passes between C and the spiral member 20. At this time, a large number of cooked rice 61 moves partly to both ends of the spiral member 20 along the spiral groove 22 (see FIG. 2 (A)), whereby both edges in the transport direction have a higher density than the center. Get higher Next, when the cooked rice 61 passes between the conveying roller 63D and the rolling roller 11, the large number of cooked rice 61 is caused by the substantially barrel-shaped rolling roller 11 so that both edges 64B, 64 are thicker than the thickness of the central portion 64A.
2B is pressed and solidified into a large plate shape (see FIG. 2 (B)), and is formed by a cutter 65 into a building plate 64 having a predetermined length and is carried out from the carrying section 63. Then, the forming unit 66
In the above, place the shrine plate 64 on the seaweed (not shown),
Using the forming plates 66A to 66D, a substantially square column-shaped laver roll is obtained through the laver.

According to the present embodiment as described above, the rolling roller 11 has a substantially barrel shape, and the rolling roller 11 is
Since the spiral member 20 is arranged on the upstream side in the carrying direction, the porcelain plate 64 in which the thickness of the edges 64B, 64B in the carrying direction is larger than the thickness of the central portion 64A can be obtained, and the ration of lacking profit at the end of the conventional seaweed roll can be obtained. It is possible to solve the problem that occurs. Further, since the spiral member 20 has a substantially symmetrical spiral gear shape, the cooked rice 61 can be evenly moved in the conveyance width direction. In other words, in order to move the cooked rice 61 evenly in the width direction of conveyance, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of spiral members 20, so that the number of components of the seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus 10 can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the spiral member 20 is driven at a peripheral speed equal to the peripheral speeds of the conveying roller 63D and the rolling roller 11, there is no risk of uneven conveyance of the cooked rice 61, and the seaweed roll manufacturing can be carried out smoothly.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and improvements, modifications and the like within the scope of achieving the present invention are included in the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the spiral member having a substantially helical gear shape is illustrated, but a substantially bolt-shaped spiral member 20A as shown in FIG. 5A may be used. According to this, compared with the case where the spiral member is formed in a substantially helical gear shape, the spiral member 20A
Since it is easy to manufacture, the manufacturing cost of the seaweed roll manufacturing apparatus can be further reduced.

By arranging such a spiral member 20A in plane symmetry, the same effect as that of the above-mentioned embodiment can be obtained.
By appropriately selecting the separation distance between the spiral members 20A, 20A, it is possible to easily cope with the difference in the form commonly referred to as vertical winding or horizontal winding. Further, when a pair of spiral members 20A is used, it is not necessary to arrange these spiral members 20A, 20A on the same axis, and as shown in FIG. May be.

Further, the spiral member of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned substantially helical gear shape and substantially bolt shape, and the present invention also includes a spiral member in which a long strip is curved and formed into a substantially spring shape. It is what is done. In addition, the material, shape, and the like of the transport unit, the transport roller, the rolling roller, and the spiral member shown in the above-described embodiment,
