Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a noodles conveying mechanism from a fryer which is simple in structure and there is no possibility of occurrence of a failure such as the clogging of noodles, and in which since the shock at the time of transfer from one conveyor to another is very small, the occurrence of waste noodles is hardly caused. SOLUTION: A curved surface guide 4 is addedly provided along the end part of a bucket conveyor that is extended from a fryer, and a bar conveyor 5 in which the driving roll 7 on which a lump of noodles 3 travels is arranged beneath the lower end of the curved surface guide 4. Further, a curved chute 8 is provided along the driving roll 7 of the bar conveyor 5, and the lower end of the curved chute 8 is abutted on the sliding table 9 on which a lump of noodles being pressedly conveyed by the bar conveyor 5 is moved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanism for carrying out noodles from a fryer, and more specifically, to transport noodles fried by a fryer and carried out by a bucket conveyor to the next step with as little impact as possible. For transporting noodles from a fryer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a conventional mechanism for carrying out noodles from a fryer as shown in FIGS. FIG. 4 shows a bucket conveyor 2 connected to a flyer.
A semicircular curved surface cover 22 is attached along the end of 1 and a rotating plate 23 that rotates downward from a horizontal state is installed with a slight gap at the lower end of the curved surface cover 22; The noodle mass 24 sliding down from the rotating plate 23 at the lower rotating end of the rotating plate 23
Is installed below the rotating plate 23 to supply the bar 25 to the bar conveyor 26.

In this noodle unloading mechanism, the rotating plate 23 is rotated downward by the weight of the noodle mass 24 to slide down the noodle mass 24, and when the weight of the noodle mass 24 is no longer applied, the rotating plate 23 is usually turned by spring pressure. Return to the original horizontal position. In this case, the impact given to the noodle mass 24 is relatively small, and the generation of scrap noodles caused by the impact is small. However, if the timing at which the rotating plate 23 returns is shifted, the noodle mass 24 is brought into contact with the curved guide 22 and the rotating plate. There is a drawback that a failure is easily caused by being sandwiched between the gap 23. In addition, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to expect a reliable return operation of the rotating plate 23, and installation costs and maintenance costs are high.

FIG. 5 shows another conventional example.
This mechanism is provided below a lower end of the curved surface guide 22.
A roll guide 27 is provided, and a curved surface guide 28 is attached to the side of the polygonal roll 27.
9 is provided. At each corner of the polygonal roll 27, a support wall 30 for supporting the noodle mass 24 is installed.

[0005] In this noodle unloading mechanism, the noodle mass 24 advances along the curved surface cover 22 and passes over the curved surface guide 22 to be turned upside down and ride on the flat peripheral surface 31 of the polygonal roll 27. . Looking at the process of this transfer, the noodle mass 24 passes the lower end of the curved surface guide 22 so that the front end of the lower surface first rides on the flat peripheral surface 31 (the state of FIG. 6),
Next, the entire lower surface is flat at a stretch around the lower end portion.
Take 1 The impact at that time is not small, and as a result, a lot of waste noodles are generated.

[0006]

As described above, the conventional noodle carry-out mechanism from a fryer has drawbacks such as easy failure, high cost, and large amount of waste noodles. Is free from such drawbacks, i.e., from a fryer that has a simple configuration and does not cause a failure such as jamming of noodles, and has very little impact at the time of transfer between conveyors, so that almost no waste noodles are generated. It is an object to provide a noodle unloading mechanism.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a curved guide is provided along the end of a bucket conveyor extending from a flyer, and a driving roll on which a noodle mass rides is placed under the bucket conveyor. A bar conveyor disposed below the lower end of the guide is provided, and a curved shoe is installed along a driving roll of the bar conveyor.
The above object has been solved by a mechanism for carrying out noodles from a flyer in which a noodle mass pushed by a conveyor is brought into contact with a moving sliding table. The lower edge of the curved guide may be extended to form a horizontal portion, and the end of the horizontal portion may be positioned on the drive roll.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a mechanism according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a bucket conveyor extending from a fryer, and stores and transports the noodle mass 3 fried in each bucket 2. Numeral 4 is a curved cover provided along the advancing end of the bucket conveyor 1, and is arranged at a position where the noodle mass 3 can be prevented from falling off the bucket 2 without contacting the bucket 2.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a bar conveyor, the end of which is arranged below the lower end of the curved guide 4. The bar conveyor 5 includes pushing bars 6 arranged at intervals slightly wider than the width of the noodle mass 3. As will be described later, the noodle mass 3 which comes off from the bucket 2 by passing through the lower end of the curved guide 4 moves on the drive roll 7 at the end of the bar conveyor 5. 8
Is a curved shoe that curves along the drive roll 7 and is attached to the drive roll 7 while maintaining a gap through which the noodle mass 3 can pass without falling off the bucket 2. Reference numeral 9 denotes a sliding table, on which the noodle mass 3 pushed to the pushing bar 6 moves and is conveyed. The drive sources of the bucket conveyor 1 and the bar conveyor 5 may be independent of each other, or may use a common drive source via a chain, gears, or the like as shown.

The positional relationship between the bucket conveyor 1 and the bar conveyor 5 may be as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, but the bucket conveyor 1 is shifted to the position shown by the imaginary line in FIG. -The wrap portion may be lengthened. In that case, the horizontal portion 4b is formed by extending the lower edge of the curved surface guide 4a. The distal end position of the horizontal portion 4b is made to coincide with the lower end of the curved surface guide 4 indicated by a solid line. This configuration example is
By lengthening the state in which the bucket 2 holds the noodle mass 3 and is turned upside down, it is intended to surely prevent the occurrence of a state in which the noodle mass 3 is caught on the bucket 2 and does not fall off therefrom. Things.

In any of the above cases, the noodle mass 3 which has been accommodated in the bucket 2 and turned along the curved surface guides 4 and 4a first has a lower end portion of the drive roll 7 as it moves away from the curved surface guides 4 and 4a. The noodle mass 3 then rides on the peripheral surface, and then the entire noodle mass 3 moves away from the curved surface guides 4 and 4a. The entire noodle mass 3 rides on the drive roll 7 and the entire lower surface thereof is on the peripheral surface of the drive roll 7. Attempts to abut (Figure 3). However, since the peripheral surface of the drive roll 7 is a curved surface, the entire lower surface of the noodle mass 3 does not abut at once, and the noodle mass 3 performs a seesaw movement there. Therefore, the noodle mass 3 is hardly impacted when it is transferred to the drive roll 7, and almost no scrap noodle is generated.

Thereafter, the noodle mass 3 is pushed to the circulating pushing bar 6, descends along the curved sheet 8, is turned over, is pushed to the pushing bar 6, and is conveyed on the sliding table 9. It is sent to the next process.

[0013]

As described above, the present invention has a simple structure and can be manufactured at a low cost, and the noodle mass has almost no impact when it moves away from the curved surface guide to the driving roll, so that it is not wasted. There is an effect that generation of noodles can be prevented. Further, in the case where the horizontal portion is provided by extending the lower edge of the curved guide, there is an effect that the inconvenience that the noodle mass does not fall out of the bucket and cannot be completely prevented can be surely prevented.
