Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a katsuobushi shaving machine that efficiently produces katsuobushi with excellent taste from katsuobushi.

In addition to bonito flakes, shaved bonito flakes conventionally sold under the name ``Hana-katsuwo'' have been made using other inexpensive raw materials such as mackerel, but in all cases the raw materials were shaved parallel to the fibers of the fish meat.

In other words, the direction of the fibers in fish meat generally flows from the head to the tail and in the direction of the spine.If we call the direction of the spine the ``axial direction'', it is necessary to move the knife in the axial direction, that is, parallel to the fibers. Because each scraped piece contains long muscle fibers, it is hard to the touch and gives the texture of fibers, and is good when used as a stock, but can be eaten as is by sprinkling it on food. In terms of taste, it is inferior to the one shaved at home.

On the other hand, when bonito flakes are shaved at right angles to the axial direction, the fibers are cut into shorter lengths, which improves the flavor.

In this case, the thinner the slices, the more delicious it will be.

Until now, a few shaving machines that can shave bonito flakes perpendicular to the axial direction have been announced, but these are only manual machines and have poor working efficiency, making them difficult to use as instant foods packed in small pieces. It cannot be used as a machine for industrially producing large quantities of dried bonito flakes.

In order to solve these problems, the present inventor developed a method for producing shaved bonito flakes with excellent taste, and published the patent publication No. 56-6
Publication No. 2794 disclosed a manufacturing method and a manufacturing device, but this invention aims to provide a further improved manufacturing device, which is equipped with a large number of rotating cutter plates of a double rotation system that rotates and revolves around the sun. This invention relates to a bonito flaking machine that cuts bonito flakes by bringing the knife into contact with a rotary plate in the axial direction.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The rotational force of the electric motor 2 built into the machine base 1 is transmitted to the drive shaft 7 via the boot 3, the belt 4, the pulley 5, and the transmission gear transmission 6. 7 projects horizontally from the machine base 1 in FIG.

A sun gear 8 surrounding the drive shaft 7 and having the same central axis as the drive shaft is fixed to the wall 9 of the machine base 1 with bolts 10, and a split rotating plate 11 is fixed to the tip of the drive shaft 7. .

As shown in FIG. 3, six connecting shafts 12 in this embodiment are rotatably supported on the divided rotating plate 11 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction via rolling bearings (not shown), and both ends of the connecting shafts 12 are rotatably supported. A planetary gear 13 is fixed to the end of each connecting shaft 12 on the wall 9 side, protruding from the divided rotary plate, and meshes with the sun gear 8.

Further, at the other end of the connecting shaft 12, a disk-shaped cutter rotating plate 14 is provided.
is fixed.

The connecting shaft 12 connects the planetary gear 13 and the blade rotating plate 14 and transmits the rotation of the planetary gear to the blade rotating plate.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, only two sets of planetary gears 13, a connecting shaft 12, and a blade rotating plate 14 are shown for convenience.

Each blade rotating plate 14 has a substantially radial blade mounting groove 1.
A plurality of blades 5 are bored, and a blade 16 is fixed in the blade mounting groove 15 by tightening with a bolt 17.

The cutting edge 18 of the cutter 16 slightly protrudes along the surface of the cutter rotating plate 14, and is provided with a rake face 19 having an appropriate rake angle.

A bonito flakes feeding stand 20 is installed on the machine stand 1,
A bonito flakes extrusion means 21 fixed on the machine stand here uses a presser plate 22 attached to the rod end of a hydraulic cylinder to push out the bonito flakes 23 placed on the bonito feeder table 20 in the axial direction of the bonito flakes 23, so that the cutter rotating plate 14 The bonito flakes are pressed perpendicularly to the surface.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the bonito flakes feed table 20 is positioned so that the bonito flakes 23 come into contact with the blade rotary plate 14 within the radius thereof.

The bonito flakes extrusion means only needs to be able to move the holding plate 22 a desired distance by the stroke necessary to feed the bonito flakes in the axial direction, and may be a hydraulic cylinder, a screw feeder, a cam plate, etc. Hydraulic cylinders are convenient in that the speed can be easily and freely controlled.

When the electric motor 2 is rotated to rotate the drive shaft 7, the divided rotating plate 11 rotates, and each connecting shaft 12 arranged on the same circumference rotates.
The planetary gear 13 fixed to the end of the connecting shaft 12 meshes with the sun gear 8 and revolves around the sun gear while rotating, and the blade rotating plate 14 fixed to the other end of the connecting shaft 12 also rotates in synchronization with the planetary gear. do.

If the divided rotary plate 11 rotates clockwise in FIG. 3, the cutter rotary plate 14 also rotates clockwise and the drive shaft 7 moves clockwise at the same speed as the divided rotary plate 11.
revolves around.

However, since the number of teeth on the planetary gear is smaller than the number of teeth on the sun gear 8, the number of revolutions of the blade rotation plate 14 is higher than that of the divided rotation plate 11, and the blade fixed to the blade rotation plate 14 is sped up and rotates on its own axis. Furthermore, since the revolution speed of the divided rotary plate 11 is added, the speed at which the cutting blade 18 of the cutter 16 passes through the surface of the dried bonito flakes 23 becomes high, and by adjusting the feeding speed of the dried bonito flakes by the dried bonito flakes extrusion means 21, the bonito flakes 23 can be It can be carved extremely thinly in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction.

Moreover, since the cutting blades pass through the cut end of the dried bonito flakes while rotating around their respective connecting shafts and further rotating around the drive shaft 7, the locus of movement of the cutting blades has a complicated shape.

In addition, since each cutting blade rotating plate 14 is arranged on the same circumference, the cutting blade is rotated by a double rotation system in which it passes over the end face of the dried bonito flakes one after another as the divided rotating plate 11 rotates, and revolves around itself while rotating. Cuts at high speed with complex trajectories.

As a result, the shavings cut out by this shaving machine,
As shown in FIG. 6, the fish fibers are cut perpendicularly to the fiber direction, and have a fan-like, wavy, and wrinkled shape, and are thin pieces of 0.07 to 0.1 mm.

Because of this curl, sufficient gaps are formed between the sections, and the sections do not adhere to each other and form clumps, which is the case with conventional manual shavings, and plump shavings can be obtained. Moreover, since it is extremely thin and the fibers are shredded, you can get delicious shaved bonito flakes with excellent texture and flavor.

Moreover, since cutting is performed using a double rotation method, it has excellent work efficiency and is suitable for mass production.

In addition, although bonito flakes were explained in the embodiment, it goes without saying that mackerel and other shaved bonito flakes can also be used in the same manner.

Further, the number of blade rotating plates and the number of blades fixed to the blade rotating plate can be arbitrarily selected.
