[0008] The feeder 1 is formed of a transparent plastic cylindrical body 10, and a conical body 11 is provided at the center of the inside thereof. A feeder motor 12 is mounted on an upper portion of the feeder 1, and a downwardly protruding rotation shaft 13 is provided on a top of the cone 11, and extends along a peripheral surface of the cone 11 and a bottom surface of the cylinder 10. The upper part of the rotating substantially L-shaped scraper 14 is mounted. A lid 15 is attached to the upper surface of the cone 11 so as to be openable and closable, and a discharge port 16 is opened on the bottom surface as shown in FIG. 2, and a dough 17 obtained by kneading buckwheat or flour noodle flour and water. It is designed to discharge.

As shown in FIG. 1, upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b for rough elongation are provided below the discharge port 16, and a curved pushing plate 18 is provided between the discharge roller 16 and the upper discharge roller 2a. Is provided. This is attached to the tip of a turning plate 19, which is rotatably supported by a shaft 20, and a coil spring 21 is connected to the rear end side. The lower surface of the rotating plate 19 on the side of the coil spring 21 is in sliding contact with the eccentric cam 22, and the rotation of the cam 22 causes the rotating plate 19 to rotate up and down. Is pressed between the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b.
The upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b and the eccentric cam 22 are rotated by a motor and a gear (not shown) and a chain.

Below the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b, finishing lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b are arranged laterally shifted. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower rolling roller 3b has a bearing 25 which can be rotated left and right around a support shaft 26 and locked by a nut 27 at a predetermined position. By changing the support position of the bearing 25, the distance between the lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b can be adjusted, and the finished thickness of the noodle band 28 can be adjusted. An obliquely inclined shooter 29 is provided between the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b. The shooter 29 has an uneven surface, so that the contact area with the noodle band 28 is reduced.

A sensor 30 for detecting the bending of the noodle band 28 is attached to the shooter 29 so as to face the shooter 29.
Numeral 30 is connected to a control device 31 as shown in FIG. 1, and the rotating speed of the motor 24 is adjusted by an inverter attached thereto to lower the rotating speed of the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b to pull the noodle band 28. To prevent bending. An operation button 32 is attached to the front of the front cover 33.

Below the lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b, rotating cutters (noodle string cutters) 4a and 4b are provided so as to be shifted in the horizontal direction. This rotary cutter 4a, 4
5B, as shown in FIG. 5, a large number of grooves 35 are formed on the outer periphery of the roll 34, and the edges of the grooves 35 and the projections 36 are cutting blades. The noodle strings 37 are manufactured. A shooter 38 having unevenness on its surface is provided between the lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b and the rotary cutters 4a and 4b in the same manner as the shooter 29.
Are installed at an angle.

Further, cutting devices 5a and 5b are provided below the rotary cutters 4a and 4b. This cutting device 5a
Is formed by an eccentric cam roller 40, and a cutter 5b opposed thereto is provided with a plate-shaped cutting blade 41 protruding from the outer periphery of a roll 34, and intermittently rotates the noodle strings 37 by rotation of the cutting blade 41 and the eccentric cam roller 40. It is cut to a predetermined length.

A conveyor 6 is provided horizontally below the rotary cutters 4a and 4b, as shown in FIG. 1, and a duster 7 is provided above an intermediate portion of the conveyor 6. The duster 7 has a hopper 44 provided inside, a rotating body 45 provided below the hopper 44, and a rotating brush 46 provided beside the hopper 44, and a powder 47 attached to the surface of the rotating body 45
And sprinkle it on the noodle strings 37. Reference numeral 48 denotes a motor and lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b and a rotary cutter 4 via a gear or a chain (not shown).
a, 4b, the cutters 5a, 5b, the conveyor 6, and the duster 7 are driven. The duster 7 can be separated from the drive system and can be pulled out and moved forward, so that the powder 47 can be supplied to the hopper 44.

In the vertical noodle making machine having the above-described structure, first, noodle flour such as buckwheat flour or flour and an appropriate amount of water are mixed and kneaded by hand.
The dough 17 is made with a kneader (not shown). Next, open the lid 15 of the feeder 1 of the vertical noodle-making machine shown in FIG.
Input. Thereafter, when the operation button 32 provided on the front cover 33 is pressed, the feeder motor 12, the motor 24,
48 drives.

Since a substantially L-shaped scraper 14 is connected to a rotary shaft 13 of the feeder motor 12, the scraper 14 rotates to discharge the dough 17 in the feeder 1 from a discharge port 16 shown in FIG. In this case, if the cone 11 is not provided at the center of the feeder 1, the dough 17 is biased and cannot be discharged smoothly, but the cone 11 and the substantially L-shaped scraper 14 are not provided.
By rotating this along the peripheral surface of the conical body 11 and the bottom surface of the cylindrical body 10, the dough 17 is moved toward the discharge port 16 side, and can be smoothly and reliably discharged therefrom.

As shown in FIG. 1, the dough 17 discharged from the discharge port 16 falls between the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b, and is pressed by the pressing plate 18. The pushing plate 18 is acting in a direction in which the tip of the rotating plate 19 is constantly pulled up by the coil spring 21, but the rotation of the eccentric cam 22 causes the rotating plate 19 to rotate up and down around the shaft 20, As a result, the pushing plate 18 attached to the distal end also rotates and pushes the dough 17.

As shown in FIG. 3, the dough 17 pressed between the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b is rough-finished and rolled into a band-like noodle band 28, as shown in FIG. The noodle belt 28 is sent downward by the rotation of the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b, and is guided between the lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b arranged laterally and rolled to a finished thickness. Upper Rolling Roller 2
a, 2b and the lower rolling rollers 3a, 3b are shifted laterally, and the shooter 29 is provided obliquely in the meantime. Therefore, even if the noodle band 28 bends to the shooter 29 side, the lower roll is surely positioned. It can be guided between the rolling rollers 3a, 3b.

Further, since unevenness is formed on the surface of the shooter 29, even if the noodle band 28 comes into contact with the noodle band 28, it can be smoothly guided with little frictional resistance. When the noodle band 28 is greatly bent toward the sensor 30 as shown by the imaginary line and comes into contact with the sensor 30, the contact is activated to output a signal to the control device 31 shown in FIG. By lowering the rotation speed of the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b by lowering the rotation speed, the noodle band 28 is pulled to prevent bending. Thereafter, when the noodle band 28 is separated from the contact point of the sensor 30, the inverter returns and the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b return to the original rotation speed.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper rolling rollers 2a and 2b and the lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b
Without moving it sideways, arrange them in the same vertical line and shoot
If there is no 29, the sensor 30 does not operate at all when the tip side of the noodle band 28 is not reliably inserted between the lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b, or when it is bent to the left side in the figure as shown by the phantom line. This is because the product becomes defective.

Next, the noodle band 28 finished and rolled by the lower rolling rollers 3a and 3b descends and is guided to the rotary cutters 4a and 4b which are laterally shifted downward as shown in FIG. The rotary cutters 4a and 4b form a large number of grooves 35 on the outer periphery of the roll 34, and the edges of the grooves 35 and the protrusions 36 are cutting blades. It becomes noodle string 37. The lower rolling roller 3
Between the rotary cutters 4a and 3b and the rotary cutters 4a and 4b, a shooter 38 having an irregular surface on the surface is attached inclining similarly to the shooter 29, so that the noodle belt 28 can be securely rotated.
a and 4b.

The noodle strings 37 produced by the rotary cutters 4a and 4b descend and pass between the cutters 5a and 5b. The cutting device 5a is formed by an eccentric cam roller 40, and the cutting device 5b opposed thereto has a plate-shaped cutting blade 41 projecting from the outer periphery of the roll 34, and by rotation of the cutting blade 41 and the eccentric cam roller 40,
The plate-shaped cutting blade 41 intermittently comes into contact with the surface of the eccentric cam roller 40, cuts the noodle strings 37 sandwiched therebetween, and adjusts the length to the amount for one person.

The noodle strings 37 cut into pieces for one person are shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the powder 47 is dropped on the conveyor 6 and sent forward from here, and the powder 47 is scattered from the duster 7 provided above the intermediate portion. In the duster 7, the powder 47 put in the hopper 44 is sequentially attached to the surface of the rotating body 45 and the powder 47
Is scraped off by the rotating brush 46 and sprinkled on the noodle strings 37. The noodle strings 37 sprinkled with the powder 47 are sent forward by the conveyor 6, where they are arranged in a box or the like.

In the above description, the case where the rolling rollers are arranged in upper and lower two stages, that is, upper and lower stages, has been described, but a configuration having three or more stages may be employed. Further, the cutter and the duster may have another configuration.

[0025]

As described above, according to the vertical noodle making machine according to the present invention, since each component is arranged vertically, it can be installed even in a narrow space, and can be used with noodle flour such as buckwheat flour or flour. It is only necessary to put dough kneaded with water into a feeder, so that anyone can automatically produce noodle strings for one person without any skill. For this reason, if it is set up in a soba shop or the like, it is possible to provide customers with freshly made soba or udon noodles made in their own shop.
