Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a noodle making machine for making udon and soba noodles.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base that houses a motor 2, and has a noodle-making machine head 3 on the top that houses a noodle cutting roller, which will be described later.

The motor 2 drives a worm 4 provided in the head 3 via a belt 5 and a pulley 6 to supply power for cutting the noodles.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a pair of noodle cutting rollers, each having a shaft portion 7a extending in the left-right direction, and arranged in parallel in front and rear pairs.

Each roller 7 includes a first group of cutters 71 in which a large number of disk-shaped blades 7b are arranged at the same spacing, and a large number of disk-shaped blades 7c having a thickness different from that of the blades 7b at different intervals. A second group of cutters 12 arranged at intervals are arranged in the axial direction.

Each group of cutters 71, 72 is opposed to, alternately positioned, and meshes with the blades of the adjacent pair of rollers having the same blade thickness and the same spacing.

A first group of cutters 71 with thick blades and wide spacing is used, for example, for cutting udon noodles, and a second group of cutters 12 with thin blades and narrow spacing is used, for example, for cutting buckwheat noodles.

Each roller 1 is rotatably supported at both ends of the shaft portion 1a by bearing portions 8a that stand up on both ends of a support plate 80, and gears 9. It has 9.

One of the rollers has a driven joint 10 on the shaft end that protrudes outward from the gear 9, and the worm 4 connects the gear 1 with the driven joint 10.
1, 12, and 13, it is detachably connected to the drive side joint 11 which is driven.

14.15 (Fig. 1) is a noodle material input port provided on the upper surface of the outer casing of the noodle making machine head 3, and is located above the engagement portion of the blades in each group of cutters 71 and 73. ．．
Each 72 is formed into an independent slit shape.

To make udon or soba noodles, when the motor 2 is first started, the rollers 7.1 rotate in the direction of the arrows so that the upper surfaces of their blades move inward toward each other, as shown in FIG.

Then, place the udon or soba dough in a wide strip into the respective slots 14 and 15 (the udon dough is placed in the first slot).
When the buckwheat dough is inserted into the input port 14 of the first group of cutters 710 and the input port 15 of the second group of cutters 72, the roller 1.
7, the noodles cut to the thickness of udon or soba come out from the noodle outlet provided on the lower surface of the noodle making machine head 3.

In the above configuration, in order to manufacture the roller at low cost and reduce its weight, it is desired to mold the roller from a synthetic resin material, but if the noodle dough is relatively hard, the center part of the roller 7 will curve away from the other roller, and the blade The mutual engagement will come loose.

As a result, the noodle dough may come out of the outlet without being cut near the center of the roller.

This drawback often occurs when the roller is long, and especially when a group of cutters is arranged on one roller as in the above embodiment, the roller inevitably becomes long, and it is difficult to prevent the roller from curving. I couldn't do that.

In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the shaft portion 1a of the roller is made of a rigid body, for example, a metal pipe material such as stainless steel or aluminum, and the shaft portion 1a
A large number of disc-shaped blades 7b and 7c were molded and fixed on the outer periphery of a synthetic resin material.

At the boundary between the two groups of cutters 71 and 72, that is, at approximately the center in the longitudinal direction of the roller 1, the shaft portion 1a is exposed.

In addition, as shown in the drawing, the shaft portion 7a is located at both ends of the roller.
may be completely exposed, or only the end face may be exposed and the outer periphery of the shaft portion 7a may be covered with a synthetic resin material.

The roller 7 is rotatably supported by the bearing portion 8a of the support plate 8 at both ends of the shaft portion 7a, that is, at the rigid body portion, as described above.

The central shaft exposed portion is located between the noodle material input ports 14 and 15 and is not exposed to the outside.

Therefore, even if the roller blade is made of synthetic resin, the part that supports the center and both ends, that is, the shaft part, is a rigid body, which increases the rigidity of the entire roller and suppresses the amount of curvature even if the noodle dough is hard. I was able to do that.

The method for forming this roller 1 involves inserting a metal pipe material that will become the shaft into a molding die, having both ends and the center supported by the mold, and then surrounding the pipe material with a molten synthetic resin material. is injected into a large number of blades.

The gear 9 may also be molded and fixed to the tip of the shaft portion 7a.

Since the driven side joint 10 is constructed with the head of a hexagonal bolt, the threaded portion of the bolt is screwed into the inside of the shaft portion 7a to be fixed.

As described above, this invention constructs a roller by exposing both ends of a rigid shaft and molding and fixing a large number of disc-shaped blades around the outer periphery of the shaft using a synthetic resin material. Since it is a bolt with a joint head inserted into the part,
When the noodle dough is inserted between the rollers, the rollers will not bend to disengage the blades, and the blade will act between the tip of the rotatably supported shaft and the blade. Extremely strong against shearing forces,
Deformations such as twisting between the joint portion and the roller can be eliminated, and the noodle dough can be cut reliably and smoothly.

Furthermore, since the rigid shaft extends to both ends of the roller, by supporting at least both ends of the rigid shaft when forming the roller blade, the molding work becomes easier and the center of the blade and shaft This ensures that the blades match, and eliminates the inconvenience of the blades not being able to mesh due to eccentricity during molding.
