Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] The invention uses the machine noodle making process to make the gluten fibers of the noodle dough non-directional, forming a dense network, without losing the unique flavor of hand-made noodles, resulting in a strong and firm texture. The present invention relates to a noodle block treadmill capable of producing udon, soba, etc. with a smooth texture, and particularly to a mass-production type noodle block treadmill for commercial use.

Noodle dough contains proteins such as gluten and gluazine, which are said to form a gluten fiber structure that is elastic and sticky, and delicious handmade udon noodles are made by forming a dense network of gluten fibers. Because of this, it has a unique flavor with a strong, elastic, and smooth texture.

The traditional method for making handmade udon noodles was to add an appropriate amount of water and salt to wheat flour, stir and knead the resulting noodle dough mass, let it ripen for a predetermined period of time, and then wrap it in a packaging material such as cloth or tatami mats. Then, a person presses and rolls the packaging material with his or her legs from the outside, folds it after rolling, and repeats the operation of folding and treading to roll the X, li mass sufficiently. The rolled and mixed wires were then manually rolled on a board of an appropriate size using a round bar called a rolling pin to form any desired noodle board, which was then shredded to form noodle strings.

However, it is said that the taste of these noodle blocks, which have been passed down since ancient times, is determined by the treading process.
As the saying goes, ``Udon made by men's hands is delicious,'' the tread-rolling process requires a certain amount of force and weight pressure, and it also requires uniform tread pressure.

Although it requires manual labor, the work is extremely inefficient and increases labor costs in sales, etc., and more recently, the fact that the work is done manually has become a serious problem from a sanitary perspective.

For this reason, the noodle manufacturing method has progressed from manual work to machine work, which is called ``hand-made udon'', and although various methods such as roll rolling are used in machine work, such mechanical equipment is The gluten fibers that create the flavor of handmade udon are spread in only one direction, and cannot be spread in any direction to form a dense mesh, making it unique to handmade udon, which is different from what is commonly called "machine udon." Most of the flavor had been lost.

For this reason, the applicant first applied for Utility Application No. 53-10112.
8 and Japanese Patent Application No. 55-36617, etc., treading work using machines was applied and implemented, but these machines were not able to cope with mass production.

In view of this problem, the present invention takes into consideration the noodle-making machine that makes the best use of the good manufacturing methods passed down from ancient times and can handle mass production. an eccentric actuation mechanism consisting of a pair of eccentric bodies that are wedged together;
A treading body that hangs down from the husband's operating body of the eccentric actuation mechanism via a connecting rod and is moved up and down alternately along a guide body attached to a support arm, and a non-treading body that is located below the pair of treading bodies. It is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous type tread rolling mill in which a large number of sets of tread pressure devices constituted by pedestals etc. that are rotated intermittently in accordance with the times are arranged in parallel on the drive shaft.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a noodle block treadmill, 2 a pedestal whose lower surface is open and formed into a hollow shape, and the pedestal 2 is located near both ends of the upper surface of the pedestal. Twisting frame 3
are each erected, and a drive shaft 5 is horizontally supported by bearings 4 provided on this frame 3.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an electric motor that transmits power to the drive shaft 5 via a belt 7 and a speed reducer 8.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an eccentric actuation mechanism in which a large number of sets of actuation timings are sequentially shifted and arranged side by side on the drive shaft 5; A sliding ring is fitted on the inner circumferential surface for smooth rotation, and a rod joint 11 is installed at a suitable position on the outer circumference, and an actuating body 12 rotatably fitted on the core body 10 and an eccentric body are provided. It is composed of a locking ring 13 and the like provided to prevent the actuating body 12 from coming off from the actuator 10.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a pair of treading bodies, and a connecting rod 15 is screwed into each rod joint portion 11 of the eccentric actuation mechanism 9 so as to be adjustable in and out;
The tread body 14 is configured to alternately operate up and down via the universal joint 16 in response to the eccentric rotation of the eccentric actuating mechanism 9. The treadle 18 is installed vertically, the upper fixture 19 and the lower fixture 20 connect the treadle 17 and the treadle 18, and the upper fixture 1.
9 and the cushioning body 22 interposed between the intermediate seat 21 of the treading tool 17
5, one end of which is fixed to the support arm 24 of a support rod 23 erected from the rear of the pedestal 2, and held by a guide body 25 extending downward, and along the guide body 25. It is configured to alternately operate up and down.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a pedestal, which is positioned on the lower blades of the pair of treading bodies 14, is rotatably pivoted to the pedestal 2, and is formed into a dish shape with an appropriate depth toward the center from the periphery.

A lever 27 is pivotally supported on the support arm 24, and is intermittently engaged with a proper position of the eccentric body 10 wedged on the drive shaft 5.
The operation of step 7 is performed by driving the water wheel body 33 with the crank 29 and transmission shaft 30 installed inside the support column 23 via the connecting rod 28, the crank 31 installed inside the pedestal 2, and the operating rod 32. The pedestal 26 is configured to rotate intermittently by matching the timings when the treading body 14 is not in operation.

The eccentric actuating mechanism 9, the treading body 14, the pedestal 26, etc. constitute a one-block treading device A, and the treading device A is arranged side by side in a large number of sets on a drive shaft 5 horizontally mounted with sequentially shifted operation timings. Configure the device.

Next, to explain its function, after adding an appropriate amount of salt water to wheat flour, stirring and kneading the resulting noodle lumps of an appropriate size, and aging them for a predetermined period of time, they are placed on each pedestal 26. The electric motor 6 is activated to rotate the drive shaft 5, and the eccentric operation mechanism 9 is activated.
As the treading body 14 rotates, the treading body 14 is moved up and down alternately along the guide rod 25, and the noodle dough mass on the pedestal 26 is tampled.
Roll it.

On the other hand, the rotation of the eccentric body 10 also operates the lever 27 on the support arm 24, and the connecting rod 28, the crank rod 29, and the operating shaft 3
0, crank rod 31. The water wheel body 33 is driven through the operating rod 32, and the pedestal 26 is rotated intermittently to appropriate positions in sequence at the same timing when the treading body 14 is not in operation, so that it is uniformly distributed over all positions of the noodle dough mass. Press and roll it.

As described above, the present invention is an eccentric actuation mechanism consisting of a pair of eccentric bodies 10 and 10 that are wedged on a horizontally mounted drive shaft 5, in order to mechanize work that requires human footwork to enable mass production. 9, and a treading body that hangs down from each of the actuating bodies 12.12 of the eccentric actuating mechanism 9 via a connecting rod 15.15 and is actuated up and down alternately along a guide body 25.25 attached to a support arm 24. 14 and a pedestal 26 which is arranged below the pair of tread bodies 4 and rotates intermittently in response to non-treading conditions. Since it is a mold rolling machine, conventional roll rolling type noodle making machines roll it in one direction with strong pressure to push out the air in the dough and at the same time squeeze out the moisture, making the gluten fibers coarse and weak. Compared to the conventional method, the traditional method of making udon noodles by foot is utilized to a greater extent, and rolling is carried out with an appropriate treading force through a buffer body 22. Since the pedestal 26 is rotated intermittently, the air and moisture in the noodle dough are properly kneaded, and the gluten fiber structure is made non-directional and dense by being pressed uniformly from all directions and at all positions. It is possible to produce delicious udon noodles that are formed into a mesh shape and have a chewy texture, elasticity, and a smooth texture.

Moreover, in this proposal, such a pedal pressure device A is connected to a single drive shaft 5.
Since a large number of sets are arranged in parallel on the same drive shaft, and the pressure order is shifted appropriately for each device A, it is possible to operate all the pressure rods at the same time, such as the known tread pressure type, which are arranged in parallel on a single drive shaft. The load of the treadle is applied to the drive shaft, but in the present device, the load applied to the drive shaft 5 when treading is small, and the required torque is increased (
This can be alleviated.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a relatively small, highly efficient noodle block treadmill with reduced power consumption, which is optimal for commercial use.

In addition, the applicant carried out the work first and filed the application (Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-3).
No. 6617) If you operate the device at the store and operate this device at a separate work area, you can immediately serve freshly made udon noodles even when a large number of customers come to the store at the same time, such as during lunch time. The effect is that a more uniform and appropriate pressure kneading effect can be obtained than when treading with a human foot, and it also has a truly remarkable effect that it can solve hygienic problems.
