Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a kneading device for kneading materials such as a mixture of powder and water.

A conventional general kneading device kneads with a kneading body directly connected to a rotating shaft protruding into a hopper.

According to this conventional device, the dough in the shape of a dumpling is crushed and kneaded while rotating.

That is, there was a drawback in that it was difficult to obtain a kneading effect similar to that obtained by crushing and kneading by hand.

This proposal attempts to resolve these shortcomings.

The main proposal will be explained below using figures.

1 is a noodle making machine having the proposed structure, which is composed of a main body 2 having a motor etc. inside, a roller case 4 attached to the main body 2 with a clamp 3, and a hopper 5 attached to the main body 2 with a bayonet connection. has been done.

A motor 7 and a bearing 8 are fixed to a mounting plate 6 fixed inside the main body 2.

A motor shaft 9 projects above and below the motor 7.

The upper end of the motor shaft 9 is inserted into a gear case 10 fixed to the upper surface of the motor 7, and power is transmitted to a rolling roller and a cutting roller in the roller case 4 via a reduction gear.

Further, a small pulley 12 having a cooling fan 11 is fixed to the lower end of the motor shaft 9 with a screw 13.

A large pulley is attached to the lower end of the rotating shaft 14 which is supported by the bearing 8.
15 is fixed, and the small pulley 12 and belt 16
are connected.

Further, the upper end of the rotating shaft 14 protrudes from the upper surface of the main body 2, and when the hopper 5 is attached, it protrudes into the hopper 5 through the through hole 17 on the bottom surface of the hopper 5.

The hopper 5 has a lid 1 with a water injection tube 18 hanging down in the center.
9 is attached with bayonet connection.

The water pouring cylinder 18 is for adding water to the powder, and has a drip hole 20 formed in the center of the bottom surface.

A removable rotary plate 21 is attached to the upper end of the rotary shaft 14 protruding into the hopper 5 so as not to rotate relative to each other.

The rotating plate 21 has two curved notches 22, 22, and is divided into a main wing 23 having a large area and an auxiliary part 24 having a small area.

Radial protrusions 25, 25 are provided on the upper surfaces of the main wing 23 and the aids 24.
and circular projections 26, 26, 26 are formed.

It is not necessarily necessary to provide both of the protrusions 25, 25 and the circular protrusions 26, 26, 26, and only one of them may be provided.

Further, from near the center of the main wing 23 to the center of the rotating plate 21, a platform 27 having a substantially circular cross section is formed.

A blind hole 28 into which the rotating shaft 14 is inserted is formed in the rotating plate 27.
A pivot shaft 29 is formed from the back side of the rotating plate 21, and is insert-molded on the upper surface of the main wing 23, which corresponds to the eccentric position of the rotating plate 21.

An annular groove 31 into which a retaining ring 30 is fitted is formed at the tip of the pivot 29.

The kneading body 32 loosely fitted onto the pivot 29 has a substantially cylindrical shape, is thinner at the bottom and thicker at the top, is hollow with an opening 33 at the top, and has a boss 34 formed inside.

On the outer peripheral surface of the kneaded body 32, a plurality of protrusions 35.
35 .

To attach the kneading body 32 to the rotary plate 21, first loosely fit the washer 38 and the kneading body 32 onto the pivot shaft 29, then fit the retaining ring 30 onto the tip of the pivot shaft 29, and finally fit the cap 36 into the opening 33. Insert and complete.

In the apparatus having the above structure, for example, when making noodles for udon, flour is put into the hopper 5 and the lid body 19 is filled with flour.
After installing, rotate the motor 7.

After the rotary plate 21 starts rotating, salt water is put into the water pouring cylinder 18 and dripped from the drip hole 20 to add water to the flour.

While the flour is being hydrated, it passes through the notches 22, 22 of the rotary plate 21,
Projections 25, 25 circular projections 26, 26, 26, and stand 27
After being stirred by the sides of the dough, it gradually becomes a dumpling, and after snowballing and becoming several dumpling-like dough, 1
Gather into two dumpling-shaped dough A.

Dumpling-like dough A is crushed and kneaded by the kneading body 32 and the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 5.

During this kneading, the protrusions of the kneading body 32 are 35°35...
- bites into the dumpling-like dough A, and the kneading body 32 rotates reliably without slipping against the dough A.

Therefore, since the kneading body 32 rolls on the dough A while pressing the dough A against the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 5, a kneading action similar to that obtained by crushing and kneading the dough A by hand can be obtained.

At this time, the portion of the dough A that is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 5 tends to remain in that position, and the portion that is pushed by the kneading body 32 is moved in the direction of rotation of the rotary plate 21 as the kneading body 32 moves. Dough A gradually rolls along the inner circumferential surface of the hopper 5, and the front part and the back part are exchanged.

Further, the dough A escapes upward and downward due to the pushing of the kneading body 32.

At this time, the dough A that escaped downward is pressed against the main wing 23 and is moved in the rotational direction of the rotary plate 21, and even if the kneaded body 32 leaves the dough A, the notches 22, 22 of the rotary plate 21
Then, the protrusions 25, 25 and the round protrusions 26, 26° 26 apply a further force to move in the rotational direction.

As a result, Fabric A is in the shape of being swept underfoot, and moves little by little as if the upper and lower parts are swapping places.

By the movement of the dough A as described above, uniform kneading is performed in each part.

After the dough A, which has been sufficiently kneaded in this manner, is left to rest for a while in the hopper 5, it is cut into appropriate sizes, rolled several times with a rolling roller, and cut into thin strips with a cutting roller to form noodles.

In addition, after using the noodle making machine 1, the hopper 5 and the rotating plate 21
When the kneading body 32, lid body 19, and roller case 4 are removed and washed, water enters through the gap between the pivot 29 and the boss portion 34 of the kneading body 32.

In many cases, a portion of the dough is dissolved in water, and if this remains in the kneaded body 32, bacteria may propagate, which is not good for hygiene.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper part of the kneading body 32 is made into an opening 33, and a cap 36 is detachably fitted therein, and the inside of the kneading body 32 can be washed by removing the cap 36, which is hygienic. .

As described above, the present invention has a circular flat rotating plate attached to a rotating shaft protruding inside the hopper, and the dough is installed at an eccentric position of the rotating plate and can be rotated by the dough that is moved by the rotating plate inside the hopper. Since the rotary plate has a notch in its periphery, the dough moved by the rotary plate rotates the roughly cylindrical kneaded body, and at the same time the kneaded body By rotating, the material can be sufficiently kneaded between the material and the inner peripheral surface of the hopper while rotating the dough, making it possible to achieve kneading similar to hand kneading.

In addition, the notch in the peripheral edge of the rotary plate moves the dumpling-like dough so that the upper and lower portions are alternated, so that each part of the dumpling-like dough is kneaded evenly, which is highly effective.
