Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a rice breaking and feeding machine that supplies cooked rice to a rice ball making machine, etc.

``Prior art'' The cracking machine in the conventional rice cracking and feeding machine was based on two interlocking rotating teeth (see Figures 1 and 3 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 169421/1983). The remaining cooked rice stuck to the teeth passing between the teeth and rolled idly, making it difficult to break up the rice lumps. In addition, stirring devices with radial arms attached to the rotating shaft were used in the middle of the conveyor and at the bottom of the hopper, but in both cases, the radial arms simply kneaded the rice, making it sticky and difficult to break it up into pieces. .

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' The purpose of this invention is to uniformly distribute and smoothly feed rice lumps to be fed to a rice ball making machine, etc.

``Means for solving the problem'' This proposal has a horizontal rotating shaft that is orthogonal to the direction of movement of the conveyor supported above the terminal end of a slow-speed belt conveyor installed in the machine frame, and both ends of the rotating shaft are A vehicle portion is provided for each, and corresponding positions on the outer periphery of the vehicle portions are connected by a plurality of horizontal rods parallel to the rotation axis to form a rice cracking wheel that rotates in the same direction as the moving direction of the conveyor. ,
The present invention is constituted by a simple feeder in which the rotational speed of the horizontal rod is faster than the transfer speed of the conveyor.

``Operation'' Therefore, when a cooled lump of cooked rice is fed onto the conveyor, it is slowly moved to the end of the conveyor. At the terminal end, horizontal rods arranged parallel to the outer periphery of the rice dismantling car rotate from above to below and in the direction of movement of the conveyor, and the rods shear the rice lumps on the conveyor in a slicing manner. The lumps are sheared thinly and parallelly, and fall from the end of the conveyor into the rice supply hopper of the rice ball making machine and are dispersed.

Embodiment A machine frame 1 is provided with a starting end slow rotating roller 2 and a ending end floating roller 3, and a cooked rice transfer belt 4 is wound around both rollers 2 and 3 to form a slow belt conveyor 5.
The speed should be approximately 1 cm per second. Side plates 6, 6 are provided on the machine frame 1 on both sides of the conveyor 5. A horizontal rotation shaft 7 perpendicular to the moving direction a of the conveyor 5 is pivotally supported above the terminal idler roller 3 on the machine frame 1, and boss portions 8, 8 are provided at both ends of the horizontal rotation shaft 7. A plurality of vehicles 9 in the radial direction are provided to form vehicle parts 10, 10. This vehicle portion 10 may be a disc. And the vehicle traffic section 10,1
A food disassembly wheel 1 rotates in the same direction as the transfer direction a of the conveyor 5 by connecting the corresponding positions on the outer circumference of 0 with a plurality of Teflon-coated horizontal rods 11 parallel to the rotation axis 7.
2, and the rotating speed of the horizontal rod 11 is faster than the moving speed of the conveyor 5.
In the figure, 13 indicates a reduction drive gear for the rotary shaft 7, 14 a drive motor for the same gear 13, 15 a continuous rice grip manufacturing machine, 16 a rice supply hopper, and 17
Reference numeral 18 indicates a rice-grip forming unit, 18 a topping insertion device, 19 a rice-grip delivery conveyor, and 20 a motor of the slow rotating roller 2.

``Effects'' Since the present invention is configured as described above, the rice lumps sent by the slow belt conveyor are broken up, and the horizontal rod installed on the outer circumference of the car slices them into thin pieces to direct them towards the end of the conveyor. Since the rice lumps are pushed out by pushing, they are not only broken into pieces without sticking and can evenly fall into the hopper, but also can be broken up smoothly without the risk of sticking to the horizontal rod.
