JPS60199357A - Apparatus for weighing and packing of noodle in frame - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the automatic and exact operations such as the weighing of noodles, packing of noodles in a frame, etc., by cutting noodles to a definite portion, weighing the cut noodles, judging whether the weight is proper or not, and transferring only the noodles having proper weight to the hopper for packing in a frame. CONSTITUTION:The noodles 2 fed by the conveyor 1 is cut to proper portions with the cutter 3. The cut noodles 7 are dropped on the weight checker 6 and weighed. When the measured weight falls within a prescribed range, the blower 10 is operated while keeping the distribution plate 8 to the horizontal state, and the noodles 7 are blown off with the air jet blasted from the blower 10, allowed to slide on the distribution plate 8, and dropped into the hopper 11 for packing in a frame. On the other hand, when the weight of the noodles 7 is out of the prescribed range, the cylinder 9 is operated by the signal transmitted from the checker 6, the distribution plate 8 is tilted, and the blower 10 is operated to blow up the noodles 7 along the inclined distribution plate 8 to the receiving plate 18.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a method for measuring noodles, etc., in the manufacturing process of instant noodles, etc., in which noodle strings are cut into a fixed amount, then weighed, the suitability of the cut is judged, and only the proper amount is fed to a forming tray. This invention relates to a framing device.

When it comes to instant noodles, there are legal issues if the amount inside is less than the amount indicated on the packaging container or bag, so each company packs a little more. Therefore, there is a problem that waste tends to occur.Also, since no device has been proposed that can automatically perform tasks such as checking the weight percentage of noodles and sorting the noodles based on the results, it is difficult to efficiently perform these tasks. It has been desired to create a device that can perform this process reliably.

Therefore, the present invention has a simple structure and is capable of automatically and reliably performing various operations such as checking the weight percentage of cut noodles, distributing the noodles according to their weight, and further forming the noodles. The object of the present invention is to provide a weighing and framing device.

The first aspect of the present invention is a weight checker that weighs the noodles to be cut into a fixed amount and determines whether the noodles are suitable or not, a distribution plate that rises and falls in response to a signal from the weight checker, and a frame that frames the noodles. The second part is a weight checker that weighs the noodles to be cut into a fixed amount and determines whether the noodles are suitable or not, and the weight. A sorting plate that rises and falls according to the signal from the checker, and a conveying means that feeds the noodles on the weight checker into a hopper for filling the frame.
It consists of two synchronized conhairs arranged under the hopper for filling frames, the upper retainer conhair circulates the retainer with its top and bottom open, and the lower tray conhair has the same size as the above retainer. A weighing and filling device for noodles, etc. that circulates a tray with an open top surface,
The drawings show examples thereof.

First, to explain the first invention, 1 in the figure is a noodle string conveyor for conveying noodle strings 2, and a rotary cutter 3 is installed at the end of the noodle string conveyor.
Set up. 4 is a power, tar 3 receiving roll. A cylindrical body 5 is arranged below the cuckoo 3, and a weight checker 6 is disposed at the bottom of the cylindrical body 5. The weight checker 6 checks whether the weight of the cut noodles 7 is within a set range,
If it is outside the range, a signal is sent to activate a rotating means for rotating the distribution plate 8.

The rotating means generally consists of a cylinder 9.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a blower serving as a noodle 112 feeding means installed at the lower part of the cylinder body 5, and blows jet air onto the noodles 7 on the weight checker 6 without blowing the noodles 7 away. ! l! As the conveying means 7, a pushing type may be adopted. Reference numeral 11 denotes a hopper for filling frames, which is equipped with a revolving door-type rotating blade 12.

The second invention completely includes the configuration of the first invention described above, and further includes the following configuration. 13 is a retainer container hair that passes under the filling water/flange 11; A large number of cylindrical retainers 14 with open tops and bottoms are driven in circulation.The retainer conveyor 13 is preferably driven intermittently.The retainers 14 are made of, for example, urethane resin.15 is a retainer → --A tray conveyor that circulates in synchronization with the conveyor 13 circulates and drives the tray 16 that overlaps the retainer 14.The tray 16 is a container with only the upper surface open, and the noodles 7 are accommodated therein and formed.17 is an air outlet of a molding blower, and its mouth is directed into the polymerized retainer 14. Air outlet 1
One to two 7 are provided, and the air outlet itself or the air outlet direction is configured to be movable. The air outlet 17 is moved, for example, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 2 A to D (A and B are for round weights, C and D are for square glazing). Reference numeral 18 denotes a receiving plate, for example, in the form of a corrugated plate, which is used to catch noodles of an inappropriate weight that protrude from the two-way opening (not shown) of the rotary collar 11. .In addition, cutter 3, blower
10, Framing hombar 11, Retainer conveyor 1
3. The movements of the tray container hair 15 and the air outlet 17 are synchronized.

To explain the operation of the present invention, the noodle strings 2 sent by the noodle string cutter 1 are cut into a fixed amount (for one serving) by the force/tsuta 3.

The cut noodles 7 fall onto the weight checker 6 and are weighed there. When the MF amount is within a predetermined weight range, the blower 1O operates with the distribution plate 8 maintained in a horizontal state. Then, the noodles 7 are blown away by the jet air from the blower 10, slide on the distribution plate 8, hit the wall of the filling hopper 11, and are
Nono - Falling downwards. As a result of colliding with the wall surface in this manner, the noodles 7 are properly loosened. The fallen noodles 7 are
Once caught by the rotating blade 12, it further descends as it rotates, and the tray support 6 is waiting below.
He fell inside and was transported. In the second invention, the upper and lower retainers 14 of the retainer conveyor 13 are aligned and overlapped on the tray support 6 to form a cylindrical or rectangular cylinder. . Although the noodles 7 are formed to some extent by falling through the cylindrical body, the weights 7 are not yet in close contact with the inner surface of the tray 16, so that they are incompletely formed.

Then, it advances forward and is blown with jet air from the blow-off port 17 in the state shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the noodles 7 are outside the set weight range, the cylinder 9 is activated by a signal from the weight checker 6 to rotate the distribution plate 8 (the position shown by the imaginary line). When the blower 10 operates in this state, the noodles 7 are blown up along the slope of the distribution plate 8, and the noodles 7 are blown up into the filling hopper 11.
It exits from the upper opening and reaches above the receiver F1.18, where it is collected. The device according to the invention repeats the above steps automatically.

Since the present invention is as described above, it has a simple structure,
Only noodles with a predetermined amount of N can be formed automatically and efficiently, and
This has the effect that noodles of inappropriate weight can be automatically sorted and collected.
