Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for flattening the cross-sectional shape of hand-rolled somen noodles.

In the production of hand-rolled somen noodles, the diameter of the noodles is gradually reduced from the large diameter until the final thin noodle strings of a predetermined thickness are obtained. After a small twisting process, two green bamboo strips are shaped like a figure eight. The noodle strings are rolled up and dried using a drying hat, but even after the noodle strings are wrapped around green bamboo, the noodle strings are stretched several times just before drying.

In this way, the hand-rolled somen noodles produced are thin and have a circular cross-sectional shape.

This proposal aims to change the form of hand-rolled somen, which has been popular for a long time, to shorten the cooking time and provide hand-rolled somen with a unique appearance and texture.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a guide tube, 2 is a green bamboo mount, and 3 is a forming roller for forming the noodle strings into flat shapes.

The guide tube 2 has its proximal end fixed to a movable member 5 that reciprocates laterally on a rail 4 provided on the machine frame in a single-supported manner, and has an arcuate surface at its tip for freely bending and guiding the noodle strings A. The spout 6 that has this is the attachment.

The green bamboo mounting base 2 is pivotably supported vertically by a support shaft 9 on the surface of a movable member 8 that moves in the backward direction on a rail 7 provided on the machine frame parallel to the guide pipe 2 below the guide pipe. The mounting base 2 is provided with a bone clamping tool 10 which detachably clamps the base ends of a pair of green bamboos B in a one-sided manner at an appropriate distance apart.

The forming roller 3 is close to the base end of the guide tube 1, is disposed on the movable member 5 via a support arm 11, and includes a grooved roller 3a having a circumferential groove, and a circumferential edge within the groove of the grooved roller 3a. It consists of a presser roller 3b that fits.

In addition, the rear of the forming roller 3 and the upper blade of the noodle string storage tank B are placed at the same level, and also slightly higher than the forming roller 3.
A lifting adjustment roller 12 for the noodle strings A is provided via the support arm 11a branching out from the support arm 11, so as to constantly pull up the noodle strings above the center of the tank, and a thickness adjustment means 13 for the forming roller 3. When the thickness of the noodle strings is changed by , the amount of lifting of the noodle strings behind the forming roller is adjusted.

In the figure, 14 is a rack for operating the movable member 5, 15 is a screw for operating the movable member 8, and 16 is a swing lever fixed to the support shaft 9 of the green bamboo mount 2, and these are attached to an appropriate movement mechanism. It is connected to a driving source through a 2500 .ANG. to perform related operations.

Next, the operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be explained.

When the machine is operated with a pair of green bamboos B held between the clamping tools 10 and the noodle strings A passing through the guide tube 1 from the raising adjustment roller 12 through the forming roller 3 and the end fixed to the green bamboo B, the guide tube 1 moves laterally and passes between the green bamboos B that are tilted vertically, the guide tube 1 reaches the end point of its lateral movement, and during this time the green bamboo mounting base 2 swings in the vertical direction, and the pair of green bamboos B are tilted. Change direction.

Next, in this state, the guide tube 1 is reversed and moved laterally, and the pair of green bamboos B
Green bamboo B passes through the gap and reaches the end point of its movement on the opposite side, where it changes its inclination direction again.

During this time, the green bamboo mounting base 2 moves slightly backward, that is, toward the direction of the guide tube.

By repeating the above operations, the noodle strings A, which have been flattened by the forming roller 3, are wound around the green bamboo B in a figure 8 shape from its base end.

Here, in the present invention, since the raising adjustment roller 12 is disposed above the center of the noodle string storage tank, the noodle strings can be smoothly raised from any position in the tank.

In addition, because the other one of the raising adjustment rollers 12 is disposed close to and at a slightly higher position due to the rear force of the forming roller 3, the noodle strings A now move downward in a manner that hangs from the raising adjustment roller 12. Since it is supplied to the forming roller 12 by
When the noodle strings A are formed into a certain size (cross section) by the forming roller 3, the thickness of the noodle strings A before forming is naturally adjusted by changing the degree of slack behind the forming roller.

In addition, when the noodle strings A are passed from the raising adjustment roller 12 to the forming roller 3, the direction is changed approximately at right angles at each part, so the contact surface with each roller is enlarged and the noodle strings A move as one body without slipping and causing breakage of the noodle strings. It can also solve problems.

In this way, the noodle strings are wrapped around green bamboo, and the product is then manufactured using a well-known method.

As explained above, the present invention always pulls the noodle strings upward from the center of the noodle string storage tank, and the thick and thin noodle strings, which are the characteristics of hand-rolled somen, are prevented from affecting others before entering the forming roller. After adjusting the cross-section to obtain flat noodle strings, they are wound around a pair of green bamboo, and after being wound around the green bamboo, the flat noodle strings remain the same thickness even after multiple noodle stretching operations. However, the cross-sectional shape remains unchanged, and the final product is obtained as flat somen noodles.

Therefore, this flat-shaped somen has a different appearance from the somen that has been familiar for a long time, and has a novel sensation.It also takes less time to adjust, and when you eat it, it has a different texture on the tongue, giving it a unique taste. The practical effects of this system are great, as the device itself has a simple structure and can be implemented with only slight modifications to a practical machine.
