Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a steamed noodle manufacturing device in which a net conveyor for transporting noodle strings passes through a tunnel, the tunnel is inclined in the direction of passage of the conveyor, and the inside of the tunnel is divided into classrooms by partition plates. , Each chamber has a steam outlet that can freely adjust the amount of steam, and the amount of steam in each chamber can be adjusted independently. Spray pipes for adding moisture are installed here and there in the tunnel, and the spray pipes can be used to adjust the amount of spray. A stop valve is installed, and a noodle string cutting machine is installed at the starting end of the conveyor, a noodle string cutting machine is installed at the terminal end, and the speed of the conveyor is set slightly slower than the cutting speed of the noodle string cutting machine. The present invention relates to an automatic steamed noodle manufacturing machine configured as follows.

Traditional manual methods for producing yakisoba, steamed noodles, etc. are made by stacking steamer baskets in several tiers and blowing out steam from the bottom.

Later, due to the need for mass production, continuous tunnel steamers, in which continuous steam is passed through a steam tunnel using a net conveyor, came to be used.

Yakisoba (mushi@) needs to be steamed in a small closed steaming chamber, just like steaming in a steamer basket, by controlling the amount of steam. Steaming starts from the part near the outlet, that is, the lowest stage, and the steaming process progresses in an orderly manner, with the steamer being taken out from the lowest stage steamer, and the upper stage becoming the lower stage.

However, in the above-mentioned continuous tunnel steamer, both ends of the tunnel are open, a net conveyor passes through the middle, and a steam pipe is installed either below or above the conveyor, so it is difficult to properly distribute the steam inside the tunnel. There was a flaw that made it difficult to fix.

This proposal was developed in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, and despite being mass-produced using a continuous tunnel steamer, it is possible to improve the steaming effect in conditions similar to conventional steamer steaming.

To explain the embodiment shown in the drawings, a net conveyor guide 3, 3 facing in the inclination direction is provided in the middle of the tunnel 2 provided in the machine frame 1 and inclined from the starting end toward the terminal end, and the driving roller The upper transition part 6' of the net conveyor 6 rotating between the net conveyor 4 and the idle roller 5 is supported by the guides 3, 3 in the tunnel 2, and slides in the direction of the arrow to pass through the tunnel 2.

A noodle string cutting machine 15 is installed in the machine frame 1 above the starting end of the tunnel at the upper transition section 6', and a noodle string cutting machine 1J is installed at the lower end outside the tunnel at the terminal end I. A speed change or deceleration device is provided so that the cutting speed is slightly slower than the cutting speed of the cutting machine 15.

Inside the tunnel 2, partition plates 7 are provided at regular intervals below the upper transition part 6' to divide the area below the upper transition part 6' into classrooms 8. The upper edge of the partition plate 7 should be as close as possible to the upper transition part 6', and the lower edge of the partition plate 7 should be in close contact with the bottom of the tunnel 2 (of course, a cleaning gap 9 may be provided if necessary). .

Further, the partition plate 7 may be provided above the upper transition section 6' to divide the upper side of the transition section 6' into classrooms 8' (FIG. 4).

Each of the fractionation chambers 8 thus constructed is provided with a steam jet port 10 independently, and each of the jet ports 10 has a steam amount control valve 1.
1 is constructed so that the amount of steam in each fractionating chamber 8 can be adjusted independently.

In the figure, 12 indicates a spray pipe for adding moisture installed in the tunnel 2, 13 indicates a valve for adjusting the spray amount or stopping the spray, 14 indicates an intermediate steam outlet between the two tunnels 2, 2, and 16 indicates a spray pipe for adding water. The driving roller 4 and the prime mover for the rapid feed conveyor 17, 19 is the unloading hopper.

Therefore, the continuous material 20 cut out from the cutting machine 15 is placed in a wave shape on the upper transition section 6' of the net conveyor 6, which is slightly slower than the cutting speed, and moves inside the tunnel 2 in the direction of the arrow.
When passing through each fractionation chamber 8, the steamed noodles 20' are steamed by the amount of steam adjusted for each chamber 8, and are sent out from the tunnel 2 after being appropriately supplied with moisture from the spray pipe 12.

Since this project is constructed as described above, mass production using a continuous tunnel steamer is possible, and by adjusting the amount of steam in each chamber 8, even steam distribution similar to that of conventional steamer steaming can be obtained, improving the steaming effect. It is also possible to adjust the moisture content to suit the conditions of steamed noodles.

That is, the condensed steam cooled inside the inclined tunnel 2 rises along the slope and is quickly discharged and is not trapped inside the tunnel 2, and the spray water droplets and condensed water droplets descend along the slope and are quickly discharged from the tunnel 2. Since the steam is discharged to the outside, the amount of steam in each chamber 8 can be properly distributed and the steaming effect can be improved, and continuous wave noodles can pass through the tunnel 2 to prevent uneven steaming. be.
