Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to an air-cooled mochi pounding machine that pounds mochi while air-cooling it.

(Conventional technology and its problems)) When mochi is pounded while cooling it, a firm and delicious mochi can be obtained, and even when the mochi is pounded and shaped into small mochi or kagami mochi, the surface layer of the mochi remains intact. The mochi does not cool down rapidly from a high temperature, and the temperature difference between the surface layer and the inside is kept low when the entire mochi is cooling, so wrinkles do not form on the surface while cooling, or cracks occur after the entire mochi becomes hard. There is no such thing.

Therefore, it is known from Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-182694 that a fan whose drive source is a motor that drives a rotor for pounding and kneading in a kneading hopper is provided to blow air into the hopper.

However, with this type, the fan is directly connected to the motor shaft, so the fan and motor must be on the same axis, which tends to restrict the installation location and makes it difficult to install using the dead space that can be created on or around the aircraft body. . Therefore, the device tends to become larger. Further, the rotation speed of the fan is determined by the rotation speed of the motor, and if you want to obtain a different blowing function, you must change the type of fan.

This invention aims to provide an air-cooled rice cake pounding machine that can overcome these conventional drawbacks.

(Means for Solving the Problem) Therefore, this invention is based on a machine body that has a pounding and kneading hopper and has a built-in motor for driving the pounding and kneading rotor in the pounding and kneading hopper, and is driven by also using the motor. A fan for blowing air is provided in the hopper, and the fan and the motor are connected via a rotation adjustment mechanism for adjusting the air blow.

(Function) The fan is driven by the pounding and kneading rotor driving motor at a set rotation ratio through the rotation adjustment mechanism for adjusting the air blowing, and the rotation of the pounding and kneading rotor causes the fan to move into the hopper during pounding and kneading work. By blowing air, it is possible to air-cool rice cakes that are being pounded and kneaded.

(Embodiment) The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described below. A kneading hopper 2 is provided on one side of the top surface of a box-shaped machine body 1, and a kneading rotor 3 provided at the bottom of the hopper 2 is It is adapted to be driven by a motor 4 within the body 1. Hopper 2
The helicoidal engagement piece 6 formed at the lower end of the resin cover 5 covering the outer periphery engages with the helicoidal engagement piece 9 formed at the edge of the hopper attachment opening 8 of the resin top plate 7 of the fuselage 1. By fitting it together, it can be attached and detached. The mouth of the steam generation tank 10 is attached to the bottom of the hopper attachment port 8.
The water contained in the tank 10 is heated and vaporized by the heater 12 provided at the bottom of the tank 10, and the generated steam is crimped with the opening packing 11 at the bottom of the hopper facing the hopper attachment opening 8. Steam hole 1 drilled in the area surrounded by
It enters into the hopper 2 from 3 and steams the sticky rice in the hopper 2. In the case where separately steamed glutinous rice is placed in the hopper 2 and pounded, the steam generation tank 10 is omitted.

The pounding rotor 3 has a rotating shaft 15 that is supported by a bearing 14 formed in the center of the steam generation tank 10.
A small hole 16 formed in the center of the bottom of the hopper
It is detachably attached to the upper end of the rotary shaft 15 that protrudes into the hopper 2, and is transmitted via a belt 19 from a pulley 18 directly connected to the motor 4 to a pulley 17 attached to the lower end of the rotating shaft 15 that protrudes below the tank 10. It is designed to be rotationally driven by.
The motor 4 is installed on the opposite side of the body 1 from where the hopper 2 is attached. Reference numeral 20 is a support member installed horizontally within the fuselage 1, and holds the steam generation tank 10 and the motor 4.

A fan 25 is provided in the body 1 to blow air into the hopper 2 through the steam generation tank 10. The fan 25 is fixed to the support member 20 and is connected to a pulley 61 on the impeller rotating shaft 34 and a belt 63 from another pulley 62 on the rotating shaft 15.
The impeller 24 is also driven by the motor 4. The intake port 26 is an auxiliary intake port 54 with a filter 53 provided in the aircraft body 1.
The ventilation port 22 is connected to a communication port 65 with a check valve 64 formed on one side of the upper part of the tank 10, and the outside air taken in from the auxiliary intake port 54 is passed through the communication port 65, the tank 10, and the hole 13. , blows air into the hopper 2. The outside air only passes through the tank 10 midway, so there is no hygienic problem, and since the air is blown into the hopper 2 relatively directly, the influence of residual heat in the tank 10 is alleviated, and the motor 4 is not affected by the heat. Since there is no air cooling effect, the air cooling effect does not decrease much. In the type without a steamer, the tank 10 can be replaced by an intake port chamber, and there will be no thermal effect. Check valve 6
4 prevents water placed in the tank 10 and steam generated by heating from escaping to the fan 25 side during the steaming process.

2 and 3, a communication port 65 to which the air outlet 22 of the tank 10 is connected is formed between the attachment part of the packing 11 and the connection part 71 to the top plate 7, so that the blown air can be connected to the tank 10. The air is blown into the hopper 2 through an air inlet 72 provided around the bottom of the hopper 2 without passing through the inside of the hopper 10 . This makes it possible to avoid thermal effects caused by the blown air tank 10. The air supply port 72 is opened in the direction of rotation of the rice cake so that the rice cake being pounded and kneaded and rotating in the hopper 2 does not enter therein.

FIG. 4 shows a fan 25 mounted on an intermediate shaft 56 that receives rotation of the motor 4 from the belt 19 via a pulley 55.
are directly connected to each other, and air is blown into the hopper 2 through a communication port 65 provided between the part of the top plate 7 to which the tank 10 is connected and the part which engages the hopper 2. This eliminates the influence of heat transfer from the tank 10 on the blown air.

In FIG. 5, a blower unit 23 is installed next to the hopper 2 mounting area on the top surface of the fuselage 1 and has an air outlet 22 located in the upper opening 21 of the hopper 2, and is driven by the motor 4 inside the fuselage 1. An example is shown in which this is done. The blower unit 23 is
The helicoidal engagement piece 31 formed at the lower end engages with the helicoidal engagement piece 33 formed at the edge of the air blower unit connection port 32 of the fuselage top plate 7, so that the helicoidal engagement piece 31 is connected to the upper surface of the fuselage 1. It is attached removably.

The blower unit 23 is located above the motor 4 in the aircraft body 1, and the blower port 22 is connected to the lid 41 of the hopper 2.
It is set in. The lid 41 forms a blown air chamber 45 between a front plate 43 and a back plate 44 that are integrated by force fitting 42 or the like, and the lid 4 is formed in the blown air chamber 45.
Air is received from a fan 25 through an air intake passage 46 extending to one side of the hopper 2, and cool air is blown into the hopper 2 from an air outlet 22 provided in a back plate 44. An exhaust port 47 is formed around the portion of the lid 41 where the blown air chamber 45 is formed, allowing communication between the inside and outside of the hopper 2.

The air intake passage 46 has its bent end 46a
A connection 50 is connected to the end of the air supply path 25a of the fan 25 so as to be rotatable and detachable, so that the lid can be attached and detached independently, and can be opened and closed. The engagement and disengagement between the motor shaft 35 and the impeller rotating shaft 34 as the blower unit 23 is attached and detached is done by meshing and disengaging the gears 48 and 49.
Appropriate rotation of the impeller 24 can be easily achieved depending on the gear ratio.

(Effects of the invention) According to this invention, the motor for driving the rotor and the fan are connected by the rotation adjustment mechanism for adjusting the airflow, so there is no restriction on their mutual arrangement, and appropriate dead space can be used for each. It has the advantage of being able to be placed in a single position, and the device can be made smaller.
Furthermore, depending on the rotation adjustment mechanism for adjusting air blowing that connects the motor and the fan, the rotational speed can be arbitrarily set and appropriate air blowing performance can be obtained without changing the type of fan.
