Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production machine for water-containing thermally coagulated eggs that are thermally coagulated egg yolk and egg white in hot water, particularly a large-scale production machine. SOLUTION: In this water-containing thermally coagulated eggs-producing machine, an endless chain conveyer 12 to which a plurality of container cages 16 or partition members are mounted is passed through the upper layer part of the hot water in the water tank for heating 2 having liquid egg-feeder on its one edge, while bubbles are generated from the bubble generator arranged to the lower layer part in the hot water to allow the thermally coagulated liquid egg to float on the hot water surface in flat shapes. Then, the floating flat coagulated eggs are collected with the endless chain conveyer.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a heated and coagulated hydrated egg obtained by heating and coagulating an egg yolk liquid or an egg white liquid in hot water. It relates to a manufacturing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The technique of heat-treating eggs involves, in ordinary households, putting egg yolk liquid or egg white liquid (hereinafter simply referred to as egg liquid) in boiling water in a boiling water and stirring the mixture. Is used to produce a predetermined amount of heat-containing coagulated hydrated eggs. On the other hand, an egg heating apparatus for transporting raw eggs with shells into boiling water to produce boiled eggs in large quantities is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-2558.
It is known in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Publication No.

[0003]

However, it is difficult to mass-produce hydrated and coagulated hydrated eggs of a constant quality in a short time by the above-mentioned domestic technique.
When using a large boiling water tank in the apparatus described in No. 584 to treat the egg solution in this boiling water to obtain a hydrated heat-coagulated egg, the egg solution only thermally coagulates into various shapes such as dumpling and flattened. In addition, there is a problem that a portion that solidifies into a rubber-like state is also mixed, and mass production cannot be performed with a constant quality.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to make it possible to mass-produce egg liquid as a heated and coagulated hydrated egg having a constant quality. The upper layer in the boiling water of the heating water tank in which the egg fluid supply means is disposed above one end is passed through an endless chain conveyor supporting and supporting a large number of storage baskets or partitioning members, and is disposed in the lower layer in the boiling water. An object of the present invention is to solve the problem by collecting, by an endless chain conveyor, a heat-coagulated egg in a flat state in which egg liquid supplied into hot water is uniformly floated by bubbles of a provided foam generator.

[0005] Preferably, the storage basket is formed of a porous material or a net material so as to be permeable to water, and the partition member is desirably formed in a comb plate shape. On the other hand, the bubble generator is a steam heating tube with a hole for heating hot water,
By providing as a non-porous steam heating tube (convoluted tube), the egg fluid is uniformly spread to the upper layer in boiling water and floated by steam discharged from the porosity of the heating tube or bubbles generated from the surface of the convoluted tube. This is preferable because it can be continuously conveyed and collected by an endless conveyor.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an outline of an embodiment of the present invention. A hot water tank 2 provided on a gantry 1 is provided with a drain socket 5 at one end of which a hot water can overflow. 4 is arranged. In addition, the storage basket 6 is connected to the support 1
2 'and an endless chain conveyor 12 supported and mounted via a support base 19 are suspended by a drive motor 11, a drive sprocket 9, a lower sprocket 16, and an upper sprocket which are linked thereto, and the upper layer portion of the hot water tank 2 and the hot water tank 2 is driven to rotate in the direction of arrow A below.

[0007] As shown in an enlarged perspective view of the transport chain portion in FIG. 4, the storage basket 6 is formed of a porous material as punching metal. Free passage of boiling water and basket support 19
Is held by a stopper 6 '.

An egg fluid pipe 21 is disposed above one end of the hot water tank 2, and the egg fluid outlet of the egg fluid pipe 21 is
An unillustrated delivery means such as a tilting and oscillating tray is provided so that the egg solution is evenly dropped into the storage basket 6 in the boiling water.

A non-porous steam pipe 13 made of stainless steel is provided in a lower layer in the hot water tank 2 in a serpentine shape in a direction orthogonal to the conveyor 12.
The surface of No. 3 is not polished so that fine bubbles can be generated, and is left as crude steel. FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention.
Instead, a partition member 22 is supported and mounted on the chain conveyor 12, and a steam pipe 13 ′ with holes is used instead of the foam generator 13.

In the drawings, portions common to the embodiments will be described with the same reference numerals. In the figure, reference numeral 18 denotes an exhaust duct for steam evaporating from the hot water tank 2, and reference numeral 17 denotes a steam suction port thereof. Reference numeral 14 denotes a safety cover for protecting the piping of the steam pipe 13.

Next, the operation will be described. By the liquid egg pipe 21, the egg liquid is supplied in the storage baskets 6, 6, 6,... Or in the partition members 22, 22, 22,. Bubbles or vapor bubbles from a foam generator (steam pipe) 13 disposed in the lower layer 2 uniformly diffuse and float the upper layer. The floating egg solution is stored in a storage basket 6 of a chain conveyor 12 that is driven to rotate in the direction of arrow A.
Alternatively, the hot water tank 2 is equally divided by the partition member 22.
Is heated and conveyed to the collection area at the other end of the hot water tank 2 and is taken out and collected in a porous collection basket 23 arranged outside the hot water tank 2.

[0012] At this time, during the heating and transporting, the egg solution does not become a dumpling shape or harden and solidifies like rubber, and is produced as a water-containing heat-coagulated egg containing a predetermined amount of moisture and having appropriate tooth texture. You. The heat-coagulated egg transported by the storage basket 6 or the partition member 22 flows down and is collected by its own weight at the other end of the hot water tank 2, that is, at the inversion area of the chain conveyor 12.

[0013] In the present invention, the above-mentioned action is continuously performed when using the egg, and the egg is appropriately recovered as a hydrated heat-coagulated egg.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the egg solution put into the boiling water tank is diffused and floated to the upper layer by bubbles.
This is transported and collected in a boiling water tank by a storage basket or a partition member supported and mounted on a chain conveyor. Can be produced. Further, the structure is simple, and the cleaning and cleaning of the device after the production is completed can be easily performed.

The hydrated and heat-coagulated egg produced by the apparatus of the present invention can be used not only as a soup material, but also properly mixed with dashi juice or the like and stored refrigerated to obtain a bowl of egg bowl or the like. It can be provided in large quantities at any time as a base material.
