Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a simple sushi roll making machine, and its purpose is to create a simple sushi roll making machine that can use commercially available dried seaweed of a fixed size and can operate according to the type of sushi rolls, such as thick rolls or thin rolls. Our goal is to provide a sushi roll making machine.

Conventionally, a sushi roll making machine uses a long length of dried seaweed, passes the dried seaweed with sushi rice and toppings placed on top of it, and then passes it between rollers installed opposite each other.As it passes, the dried seaweed is wound, and after the winding, the dried seaweed is removed. These machines are large-scale machines that take up a lot of installation space, or they are suitable for mass production but have poor operational efficiency and are not suitable for small-scale production. There were some changes, such as the need to specially prepare seaweed.

This invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and has been completed by creating a compact and simple sushi roll making machine that has a simple mechanism and can use dried seaweed of a fixed size.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a feeding mechanism, in which a belt conveyor 4 is endlessly suspended between rollers 2 and 3 (of different diameters) arranged oppositely, and a driving force from a drive source (not shown) is applied to the rollers. 2 is transmitted, the belt conveyor 4 rotates endlessly, and the dried seaweed on the conveyor and the cooked rice and sushi rice 5 on the dried seaweed are transferred.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a fixed quantity rice placing device, which includes a hopper 7 and a required number of radial protrusions 9 on the outer periphery of the hopper 7, which are opposed from slightly above the opening 8 in the direction of the opening 8.
and a cutting roller 13 provided inside the casing 12 of the fixed quantity rice placing device 6 and downstream of the conveyor 4 in the flow direction.

The cutting roller 13 has a projecting plate 13a for cutting cooked rice placed on the dried seaweed.
+ to P2) is set to make one rotation in a time equal to the time it takes to move.

The circumferential speed of the roller 10 is also determined based on the same criteria as the roller 13 so as to match the travel time of the fixed length dried seaweed.

It is preferable that the rollers 10 and 11 have different diameters, and the peripheral speed of the roller 11 is different from that of the roller 10, that is, the roller 11 rotates faster than the roller 10, thereby enhancing the loosening action of the cooked rice.

Further, by adjusting the gap between the rollers 10 and 11, the fixed amount of cooked rice supplied can be changed.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a roller for holding down the fixed size seaweed, which rotates following the moving force of the belt conveyor 4, and no driving force is transmitted thereto.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a seaweed stopper having a stop bar 17 pivoted on the tip of a rotary rod 16. This seaweed stopper 15 is intermittently moved up and down by a cam 18 mechanism 19 to prevent the dried seaweed from overlapping each other on the conveyor 4. The end portions are held down to ensure that each sheet is transferred on a conveyor 4.

Therefore, the period of vertical movement of the stop bar 17 is equal to the time it takes for the length d of one sheet of dried seaweed to be transferred on the belt conveyor 4.

20 is a winding mechanism, and this winding mechanism 20 includes a drive roller 21 and three winding rollers 22.2324 arranged in series.
and these mutually installed rollers 21.22.22.23
24, they are endlessly suspended by mutually required wires 25.

Furthermore, a third winding roller 22 facing the drive roller 21
is attached with a rising mechanism, and this rising mechanism is connected to a rising shaft 27 of a piston device 26 that is interlocked with a drive source (not shown).
The vertical driving force A and the horizontal driving force B are periodically applied.

One cycle of the biasing force A and the horizontal driving force B is set to be equal to the time required for the fixed length dried seaweed with the lined rice and toppings placed thereon to move from the drive roller 21 to the terminal roller 25.

Further, the rotational speed of the drive roller 21 is determined by the belt conveyor 4.
It is desirable to set the speed to about twice that of the moving speed.

The reason for this is that it is necessary to separate the dried seaweed sent sequentially from the feeding mechanism to completely separate them from each other, and then feed the winding mechanism with dried seaweed (with tendon rice and toppings placed on it). .

28 is a stopper, which stops the piston device 2 in the state shown in FIG. 3A.
The roller 21 to which the lifting force A is applied from 6 (see FIG. 3E) transmits that force via the wire 25 to the roller 23,
The information is sequentially transmitted to the roller 24, and the result is shown in FIG. 3B.

As shown in C1, the rollers 23 and 24 are raised up, and a stopper 28 is provided to keep them upright, and the winding mechanism 20 is rolled up.

When the horizontal driving force B is applied to the roller 21, the completed rolled sushi returns to its original state as shown in the third diagram.

As described above, in the simple sushi roll manufacturing device according to this invention, when fixed lengths of dried seaweed are sequentially placed on the feeding mechanism, the dry seaweed is fed so as not to overlap due to the action of the seaweed stopper, and the cooked rice is placed on top of the dry seaweed by the fixed amount placing device. It is a simple sushi-rolling machine that is supplied with a quantitative quantity of cooked sushi rice, and when the ingredients are manually placed on top of the rice, the rolling mechanism separates the dried seaweed and rolls each piece into individual sushi rolls. This method has the advantage of being able to use large pieces of seaweed and having a compact device.
