Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the effective utilization of scrap noodles, to improve the yield of noodles, and to produce noodles having a weight equal to the indicated weight, by weighing a lump of noodles with a weight checker, and supplying the shortage of the weight of the noodles with the corresponding amount of scrap noodles using a shortage supplier according to the signal transmitted from the weight checker. CONSTITUTION:Oil-fried noodles 4 having a weight somewhat smaller than the prescribed level are transferred by the bar conveyor 6, and a weight checker 7 is placed at the front end of the conveyor 6. When the weight of the noodles 4 is higher than or extremely lower than the prescribed level, the distribution plate 11 placed adjacent to the checker 7 is swivelled horizontally by the signal from the checker 7. The shortage supplier 8 to supply the noodles with scrap noodles corresponding to the shortage of the weight according to the signal transmitted from the checker 7 is placed above the tray conveyor 13 to transfer the weighed noodles. The scrap noodles formed in the treatment process after frying in an oil can be utilized effectively, the yield of noodles can be improved, and the noodles of the amount equal to the indicated weight can be produced by this process.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a part weight correction device for correcting the weight of shaped and fried noodles to an appropriate value.

In the manufacturing process of instant noodles, etc., it is difficult to always produce noodles that match the label amount, and if the amount is less than the label amount, there will be legal problems, so each company sets the weight slightly higher. Manufactured using Therefore, since waste tends to occur, it has been desired to develop an apparatus with a high yield that can produce noodles according to the indicated amount.

The present invention is intended to meet such demands, and provides a part weight correction device that effectively utilizes the shoulders generated in the processing process after frying, improves the yield, and makes it possible to manufacture noodles according to the indicated amount. The purpose is to provide

In the present invention, a weight checker is installed at the tip of a bar conveyor that conveys fried noodles, which are set slightly less than a predetermined amount, and a signal from a weight checker is sent when the noodles are overweight or extremely underweight. A sorting board that rotates horizontally is installed adjacent to the weight checker/7 car, and above the tray conveyor that conveys the weighed noodles, a distribution board is installed to distribute the missing amount based on the signal from the weight checker. This is a patent correction device characterized in that a weight replenishing machine for supplying a shoulder portion onto a portion is installed, and the drawings show an embodiment thereof. In the figure, 1 is a fryer conveyor that conveys fried noodles formed into circular or square shapes, and 2
is a curved guide plate attached to the first end of the fryer conveyor,
Reference numeral 3 denotes a shooter disposed in an inclined manner on the lower side of the curved guide plate 2, on which the noodles 4 detached from the flyer container 1 slide. The noodles 4 are set to be several grams lighter than the final set weight. Reference numeral 5 denotes a sliding plate extending horizontally in contact with the lower end of the shooter 3, and a barcon hair 6 is attached to the upper side of the sliding plate. The barcon hair 6 is driven intermittently. 7 is a weight checker installed at the front end of the sliding plate 5;
Check the weight of and detect the difference from the set value. After the detection signal is calculated by a computer, it is sent to the weight replenishing machine 8, and the weight replenishing machine 8 delivers an amount of waste according to the detection signal. Various methods can be considered for this purpose, but for example, a means is provided for opening the shoulder dispensing path 9 in the weight replenishing machine 8 for a time sufficient to dispense the shoulder corresponding to the insufficient weight. This allows, for example, 0.
Assuming that the setting is such that the shoulder of Ig is delivered by mouthing for 1 second, if 3g is insufficient, 0.3 seconds will be delivered.
In addition, if there is a shortage of 5g, it is sufficient to open the bag for 0.5 seconds. On the other hand, if the weight is too high or if the weight is extremely low, a separate action will be taken. In these cases,
Waiter, signal from Car 8
is activated, and the distribution plate 11, which is fixed thereto, is rotated upward until it becomes horizontal. Reference numeral 12 denotes an auxiliary plate disposed on an extension of the sliding plate 5, and when the distribution plate 11 rotates upward, the sliding plate 5, the distribution plate 11, and the auxiliary plate 12 form one plane.

Numeral 13 is a tray conveyor for sending the properly weighted noodles 4 to the cooler 4, which circulates a large number of trays that receive the noodles 4 side by side. Reference numeral 15 designates a plurality of waste hoppers arranged below the shooter 3 and the tray container hair 13, and is used to collect the shoulders generated during transportation of the noodles 4. The shoulders collected by the scrap noodle hopper 15 are sequentially fed manually or automatically into the hopper of the weight feeder 8. 16 is barcon hair 6
This is an air cooling machine that cools the noodles 4 that are being pushed over the sliding plate 5 by. Note that the movements of the fryer conveyor 1, bar conveyor 6, and tray conveyor 13 are synchronized.

To explain the operation of the present invention, the noodles fried in a frying machine are carried out by the fryer container 1, fall off the tray at the tip of the fryer container 1, fall onto the shooter 3, and slide there. and falls onto the sliding plate 5. 1 on sliding plate 5! +4
The sliding plate 5 is cooled by the air cooler 16.
It is pushed to one pitch by the bars of the barcon hair 6 that circulate along the bar. Noodles 4 quickly reach weight che 7 ka 7'' 2, at which point RI is added. As mentioned above, the delivered noodles are set to be a few grams smaller, and as a result of weighing, the insufficient amount is calculated by the computer and converted into a signal to replenish the missing amount. Sent to 8th. Meanwhile noodles 4 are on bar conveyor 6
The tray is further pushed down from the weight checker 7 along the inclined distribution plate 11, and then transferred to the tray conveyor 13.
and is conveyed to the bottom of the weight replenishing machine 8 by the tray conveyor 13. Based on the above signal, the weight replenishing machine 8 supplies the shoulder portion corresponding to the insufficient weight of 3 g or 5 g onto the noodles 4 waiting below, and the weights of the noodles 4 are appropriately balanced. The noodles whose weight has been corrected are sent by the tray conveyor 13 into the cooler 14 for tU. On the other hand, if the weight of the weighed part exceeds the appropriate value or is significantly less than the appropriate value, the damper lO is activated and the distribution plate 1
Rotate 1 until it is horizontal. When the barcon hair 6 circulates in this state, the noodles 4 slide on the distribution plate 11, are pushed onto the auxiliary plate 12, and are removed. The device according to the present invention repeats such an operation to equalize the weight of the weights, and selectively eliminates weights that are overweight or extremely underweight. In addition, Il! ! The scrap noodles that fall during delivery are collected in the shoulder hopper 15 and transferred to the weight feeder 8 by appropriate means.
Sent during the hot spring.

The present invention is as described above, and it is possible to effectively use scrap noodles to automatically and reliably equalize the weight of the noodles, and to improve the yield. It has the effect of automatically sorting and eliminating.
