DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention aims at simplifying the apparatus itself, preventing the cross-sectional shape of the noodle strings from being deformed in the process of stretching the noodle strings, and automatically and stably forming the noodle strings. The present invention relates to a noodle string stretching device that is stretched.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, noodles with a high water content (poly-hydro noodles), both fresh and dry, are superior in taste in comparison with those with a low water content. They tend to make noodles. Then, in order to change the quality of the noodles, so that it goes over the throat like so-called hand-rolled noodles, and to make the noodles sticky, stretching the noodle strings is performed. As shown in the drawing, the noodle strings c are hung on the hanging rods a and b in a meandering manner, and as shown in FIG. The bar b is pulled down to about 40 cm and stretched, and a ripening time of about 3 hours is left as it is. Then, as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the film is further manually stretched, and a ripening time of a certain time is also provided here, and this is repeated several times. As described above, since the conventional example shown in the figure relied on human manual work, poor workability could not be denied.

[0003] Therefore, in the case of multi-hydrated noodles, it takes a long time to obtain the final thin noodles. This was accompanied by the inconvenience that only skilled workers could do this.

[0004] On the other hand, as examples of stretching of noodle strings by an apparatus are disclosed in, for example, JP-A-56-32963 or JP-B-1-50392, etc. A roller or a belt conveyor that rotates following the rotation of the belt conveyor is disposed so as to be in contact with the driven belt conveyor.

[0005] The noodle strings conveyed by the driven belt conveyor are stretched while being conveyed while being sandwiched between the driven rollers or the belt conveyor.

[0006]

By the way, in the conventional example described in the above-mentioned publication, although it has a function of extending the noodle strings, the noodle strings are driven by a driving belt conveyor and a driven roller or As it is sandwiched between the belt conveyors, it is compressed, and as a result, not only will the cross-sectional shape of the noodle strings be deformed, but also if driven rollers or the like are used for the driven belt conveyor as described above, It is difficult to adjust (finely adjust) the interval between the belt conveyor and the driven roller, and it is difficult or impossible to stretch the noodle strings 1.5 to 2 times in these apparatuses. Even if the cross-sectional shape of the noodle strings is deformed as described above, it is thought that there is no particular change in taste, but the commercial value due to the change in shape is inferior.

Further, in these conventional examples, it is assumed that the driven roller or the belt conveyor is essentially used. However, even if the driven roller or the belt conveyor is not used, the noodle strings are used. If these can be stretched stably, these driven rollers and the like become useless parts.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, a noodle string stretching apparatus according to the present invention has a diameter of 20 mm to solve the above-mentioned problems.
A roller having a length of 0 mm or more is provided at the leading end in the carrying direction, and a belt conveyor having a smooth belt is provided in multiple stages in the vertical direction. The upper and lower belt conveyors are arranged opposite to each other so as to be located on the rear end in the direction, and the rotation speed of the immediately lower stage is faster than that of the immediately upper stage.

[0009]

In other words, when the noodle strings conveyed by the upper belt conveyor reach the leading end in the conveying direction of each upper belt conveyor, the noodle strings adhere to the smooth belt on the circumference larger than the surface of the large-diameter roller. When reaching the lower belt conveyors, the lower belt conveyors are sequentially stretched between the upper and lower belt conveyors by high-speed rotation of the lower belt conveyors. The noodle strings are stretched by using the large-diameter circumferential surface at the end in the direction and the smooth surface of the belt.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of a noodle string stretching apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Reference numeral 1 denotes a belt conveyor formed of a synthetic rubber belt having a smooth conveying surface. Reference numeral 2 denotes a roller disposed at the leading end of the belt conveyor 1 in the transport direction.

The larger the diameter of the roller 2 is, the more preferable it is.
It has been found that if the diameter is 200 mm or more, the object of the present invention can be achieved. Thus, a diameter of 20
This is because the use of the large-diameter roller 2 having a diameter of 0 mm or more increases the circumference of the belt at the leading end in the transport direction formed by the roller 2, and therefore increases the adhesive area with the noodle strings described later.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a roller disposed at the rear end of the belt conveyor 1 in the transport direction. The diameter of the roller 3 may be large or small. What is shown is
A roller having a small diameter is shown for the sake of distinction from the roller 2.

The conveying direction of the belt conveyor 1 constructed as described above is alternately changed and arranged in multiple stages up and down. In this case, it is arranged such that the rear end of the belt conveyor 1 of the immediately lower stage in the conveying direction is located below the front end of the belt conveyor 1 of the immediately upper stage in the conveying direction.

Further, in each of the belt conveyors 1 arranged in upper and lower tiers as described above, the belt conveyor
The rotation speed of the belt conveyor 1 in the upper stage is increased. Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment, the rotational speed is sequentially increased from the uppermost belt conveyor 1 to the lowermost belt conveyor 1.

The noodle strings 4 formed by a known method are conveyed by the uppermost belt conveyor 1, and are eventually transferred to the immediately lower belt conveyor 1 by the large-diameter rollers 2, and conveyed by the belt conveyor 1. The noodle strings 4 are guided to the lowermost belt conveyor 1. In this process, the noodle strings 4 have a large diameter formed by the large-diameter rollers 2 in each of the belt conveyors 1 and a smooth surface of the belt. Are adhered to the circumferential portion, and the noodle strings 4 are stretched and stretched due to the high-speed rotation of the belt conveyor 1 at the immediately upper stage.

That is, by utilizing the adhesive force of the noodle strings 4 on the belt surface of the belt conveyor 1 at the roller 2 at the leading end in the transport direction, the rollers 2 at the leading end in the transport direction of the adjacent upper and lower belt conveyors 1 can be uniformly and evenly distributed. The noodle strings 4 can be easily and automatically and continuously drawn. In this case, the distance between the rollers 2 at the leading end in the transport direction of the vertically adjacent belt conveyor 1 is:
As a result of an experiment conducted by the present inventors, it was confirmed that the above-mentioned stretching effect was maximized when the length was about 1 m.

[0017]

As described above, according to the noodle stretching apparatus of the present invention, a roller having a diameter of 200 mm or more is provided at the leading end in the transport direction, and a belt conveyor having a smooth belt is provided in multiple stages in the vertical direction. Along with the belt conveyors, the upper and lower belt conveyors are arranged in opposite directions so that the leading end in the conveying direction of the uppermost one of the belt conveyors is located on the rear end in the conveying direction of the lowermost one. Since the rotating speed is faster than that of the immediately upper stage, if the noodle strings conveyed by the upper belt conveyor reach the leading end in the conveying direction of the upper belt conveyor, a large-diameter roller It adheres to the smooth belt on the large circumference formed, and when it reaches the lower belt conveyor, the lower belt conveyor between the upper and lower belt conveyors It is further stretched by the high-speed rotation of,
In short, by using the difference in rotation speed of the multi-stage belt conveyor and the large-diameter circumferential surface at the leading end of the noodle string transport direction in each belt conveyor and the smooth surface of the belt, the noodle strings can be stably and automatically made. In addition to the above, it is not necessary to use the driven roller or the like shown in the above-described conventional example, so that the apparatus can be simplified, and the effect of reducing management work such as maintenance can be obtained. is there.
