Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent contained noodles against a scratch by forming a round part at a boundary between the inner surface of a basket and the inner space of through-holes, regarding a noodle-making basket transported in a drum, with noodles contained therein, and formed to have through-holes for internally introducing a heating fluid in the drum at a transport process. SOLUTION: A basket 1 is internally provided with a plurality of square through-holes 2 evenly for introducing hot water inside at the time of being transported in a drum. A boundary 3 between the inner space of the through- holes 2 and the inner surface of the basket 1 is formed to have curvature of circular arc cross section, and the boundary 3 is thereby rounded. As a result of forming a round part at the boundary 3 between the inner space of the through-holes 2 and the inner surface of the basket 1, noodles contained in the basket 1 can be pertinently prevented against a scratch. In this case, the through-holes 2 may be formed only on the bottom of the basket 1, or on the side thereof.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a noodle-making basket used for, for example, a noodle boiling apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows an apparatus for boiling noodles. This device is
A noodle feeding device c is disposed above the entry side position b of the tank a. From the noodle feeding device c, noodles f such as udon and soba are put into a basket e carried on an endless chain conveyor d. In order to boil the noodles f, the chain conveyor d moves the basket e containing the noodles f into the entrance side b of the tank a.
Through the warm water in the tank a to the outlet position g of the tank a, and then discharge the boiled noodles f at the outlet position g and empty the basket e into the outlet position g. To the entry position b. Note that the basket e is provided with a plurality of permeation holes for guiding the hot water in the tank a to the inside when the chain e is conveyed in the tank a by the chain conveyor d.

[0003]

By the way, as for the above-mentioned permeation hole for guiding the warm water into the inside, the bottom and the lid of the basket e are formed of, for example, a punching metal, and the hole of the perforation metal is used as the permeation hole. Like that.

However, when the holes of the punched metal are used as the transmission holes, the inner peripheral surface of the transmission hole h and the inner surface of the basket e intersect at a right angle as shown in FIG. There is a disadvantage that the noodles f stored in the basket e are flawed due to the boundary portion i.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve such inconvenience, and an object of the present invention is to provide a noodle-making basket which can prevent the stored noodles from being damaged.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a noodle-making basket according to the present invention is transported in a tank in a state in which noodles are stored, and the heating fluid in the tank is transported during the transport. Is characterized in that a rounded portion is provided at a boundary between the inner surface and the inner peripheral surface of the transmission hole.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an explanatory plan view for explaining a noodle-making basket which is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. In this embodiment, a noodle-making basket used in a noodle boiling apparatus is taken as an example. Since the noodle boiling apparatus is the same as that described in the conventional example except for the basket, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts, and illustration and description thereof are omitted.

FIG. 1 is a partial plan view of the inner surface of a noodle-making basket 1 made of, for example, a synthetic resin. When the basket 1 is transported in a tank a, hot water (heating fluid) is contained therein. A plurality of rectangular transmission holes 2 for guiding are formed uniformly. As shown in FIG. 2, the boundary 3 between the inner peripheral surface of the transmission hole 2 and the inner surface of the basket 1 is a curved surface having an arc-shaped cross section.
As a result, the boundary 3 is rounded.

As described above, in the noodle-making basket 1 of this embodiment, since the boundary 3 between the inner peripheral surface of the permeation hole 2 and the inner surface of the basket 1 is rounded, Scratches can be satisfactorily prevented.

In this embodiment, the basket 1
The permeation hole 2 is provided in the bottom and the lid of the basket 1 assuming the case where the water is passed through the inside of the tank a while being turned upside down. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, it may be provided on the side.

In this embodiment, the basket 1 made of synthetic resin is taken as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a basket made of metal or other material may be used according to the purpose.

Further, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the portion surrounding the transmission hole 2 is semicircular, but the shape is not particularly limited as long as the boundary 3 is rounded. As shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the portion surrounding the transmission hole 2 may be circular.

Further, in this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a basket used in a noodle boiling apparatus is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a basket used in a noodle steaming apparatus or a noodle oil frying apparatus is used. The present invention can also be applied to

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the boundary between the inner surface of the basket and the inner peripheral surface of the permeation hole is rounded, the stored noodles are damaged. Can be satisfactorily prevented.
