Description

Toothpick generating device of starch compound with dryer {TOOTHPICK FORMING APPARATUS FOR STRACH BLAND HAVING DRYER}

The present invention relates to a toothpick generating device of a starch blend, and more particularly, to a toothpick generating device of a starch blend provided with a dryer so as to transfer the starch blend to multiple stages to sufficiently remove moisture.

Generally, toothpicks are used when eating food at restaurants or homes and then removing food residues between teeth. These toothpicks are mainly made of wood or synthetic resin, but the damage caused by animal In order to prevent environmental pollution, toothpicks using starch have been applied and manufactured in Korea.

Toothpicks made in this way also had a number of problems, such as a large number of bubbles are generated inside the weak strength to break easily. Accordingly, the applicant has been elected as patent application No. 99-14052 dated April 20, 1999 (name of the invention; vacuum extrusion device of starch formulation and method for manufacturing toothpick using the device) to solve the above problems. Bar, a schematic description of the toothpick generating device of the double starch formulation is as follows.

First, the starch compound may be produced by the production of toothpicks using an extruder and a fork or a spoon using an extruder.

Referring to FIG. 1, the toothpick generating device 1 includes a die 2, a linear drawing die 4, a roller member 6, a driving motor 8, and a cutting member 10. In view of the schematic operation of the conventional toothpick generating device 1 configured as described above, in the die 2, the starch compound 12 is branched and discharged into several branches, and several guides formed in the linear drawing die 4 are provided. The starch blend 12 is passed through the groove 4a to repeat heating and cooling. The roller member 6 is operated by the drive motor 8 so that the starch compound 12 passed along the several guide grooves 4a is pulled out and guided. The starch compound 12 thus conveyed was cut by the length of the toothpick (not shown) by the cutting member 10.

However, this process alone does not remove enough moisture contained in the starch formulation 12, so that the rigidity of the produced toothpicks is easily broken off.

The present invention has been devised to overcome the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to transfer the starch compound in multiple stages to sufficiently remove moisture contained in the starch compound to maintain rigidity of the starch compound having a dryer. To provide a toothpick generating device.

Then, the second conveyor 222a is rotated counterclockwise and placed on the starch. Move blend 112 to the left. Then, when the starch compound 112 is located at the left end, the starch compound 112 is bent and placed on the third conveyor 222b by the operator's hand by the same method as before. In this way, the operator continues the manual operation of bending the tip of the starch formulation 112 in sequence to the fourth conveyor 222c, the fifth conveyor 222d, the sixth conveyor 222e and the seventh conveyor 222f. Perform. The worker closes the open door 214.

At the same time, the heating member 218 in the dryer body 210 is turned on to dissipate heat to the transfer drying space 216. Then, the heat is transferred to the first conveyor 222, the second conveyor 222a, the third conveyor 222b, the fourth conveyor 222c, the fifth conveyor 222d, and the sixth conveyor in the transfer drying space 216. 222e and the seventh conveyor 222f are applied to the starch blend 112 that has been moved and dried. The dried starch compound is moved along the seventh conveyor 222f to the outlet 212a of the dryer body 210.

The starch compound 112 then repeats heating and cooling as the starch compound 112 passes through several guide grooves 104a formed in the straight lead die 104. The roller member 106 is operated by the second drive motor 234 so that the starch compound 112 passed along the several guide grooves 104a is pulled out and guided. The starch blend 112 thus transferred is cut by the length of the toothpick (not shown) by the cutting member 110.
