Description

[0001] PUFFING DEVICE FOR SNACK MANUFACTURE [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a perpper machine for manufacturing snacks, and more particularly to a perpper machine for manufacturing snacks by heating and extruding cereals.

Generally, the grain pulverizer is extruded at a high pressure while externally heating and kneading the introduced grain separately. In this process, grains extruded at high pressure are made into swollen sweets when the grains are exposed to external low pressure.

At this time, the process of sweets being compressed by extrusion, the process of being inflated by being exposed to a low pressure is generally called PUFFING, and the device for making sweets by blowing up grains is called a grain puffing device.

The temperature at which the grains are cooked in the cereal puffing machine is about 280 degrees Celsius, which is the very high temperature at which the cereal is cooked. Vitamin or sugar, which is weak to heat, is mostly destroyed or deformed during the process of grain ripening.

That is, conventional grain pufferers are sufficient to provide snack foods that are enjoyed by the elderly and children looking for a diet or soft food by providing inflated snacks that are familiar with the grain.

On the other hand, snacks sold on the market today have different types of snacks depending on the state of swollen tissues (expanded tissues).

For example, when the degree of swelling of the grain during the production of the snack is large, the snack is manufactured as a snack having a small tissue density and a large volume. On the contrary, when the swelling degree of the grain is small, the snack is relatively large in tissue density and small in volume .

However, the conventional snack manufacturing pudding machine is produced only as a snack having a relatively small diameter and a long length due to difficulty in maintaining straightness as the structure of the snack to be extruded and extruded forms a non-uniform surface.

That is, when the heated grain is drawn out from the inside of the puffing machine, the water vapor contained in the grain expands through the inside of the puffing machine while being exposed to the atmospheric pressure. In this process, the conventional perforator extrudes the grains in the horizontal direction, but when the snack extruded in the horizontal direction becomes longer, the snack is bent in the gravity direction, which makes it difficult to maintain the straightness.

Accordingly, it is necessary to produce the snack by cutting the snack every certain length through the cutter, and thus there is a limit in producing snacks with various specifications.

[ The upper injection unit 12 includes a hopper 13 into which the grains are injected and a first screw 14 installed at a lower portion of the hopper 13 and rotated by receiving a rotational force by driving the motor M. [

The lower input part 15 provided at the lower part of the upper input part 12 receives the grain fed through the upper input part 12 after being moved through the first screw 14.

At this time, the upper input portion is not necessarily provided, and it is a necessary configuration for providing the lower input portion 15 with the cereal to be fed into the lower input portion 15 in a better mixed state.

The lower feeding part 15 has a shape of a hopper into which grains are fed, such as the hopper 13 of the upper feeding part, but has a relatively smaller size than the hopper 13 of the upper feeding part.

When the grains are introduced through the bottom inlet 15, the introduced grains are transferred to the high temperature and high pressure state through the rotary member 20.

The rotary member 20 includes an outer case 21 having a receiving space therein, an inner case 22 provided inside the outer case 21 and having a receiving space therein, an outer case 21, A bearing 24 interposed between the inner case 22 and the inner case 22 and a second screw 25 provided inside the inner case 22.

The structure of the rotary member 20 will be described in more detail. The outer case 21 is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the lower insertion portion 15. [ The inner case 22 is installed inside the outer case 21 so that the second screw 25 is received therein. At this time, a lid 23 is screwed into the inner case 22 so as to adjust the inner pressure.

In addition, a heating coil 27 and a cooling water flow path 28 may be provided in the rotary member 20. The heating coil 27 is provided to convey the grains in a heated state, and a cooling water flow path 28 is provided on one side where the heating coil 27 is installed. The cooling water flow path 28 is provided to keep the temperature of the heated grain through the heating coil 27 constant.

A ball vieer may be interposed between the outer case 21 and the inner case 22 so that the inner case 22 is axially rotated.

Although the inner case 22 is rotated by the inner case 22 to rotate the second screw 25, the inner case 22 may be rotated at a position where the second screw 25 is installed instead of the inner case 22. Of course, can be changed.

The rotary member 20 configured as described above is connected to the power transmitting member 30 and receives the driving force to rotate.

The power transmitting member 30 includes a belt 32 connected to the leading end of the inner case 22 and a driving motor 34 for rotating the belt 32. [

The power transmitting member 30 may include a belt 32 connected to the leading end of the second screw 25 and a driving motor 34 for rotating the belt 32. [

That is, the power transmitting member 30 transmits the power of the driving motor 34 to the inner case 22 or the second screw 25 by using a connecting means such as a belt 32 or a chain, 25 can be rotated.

On the other hand, a path changing member 40 is provided at the tip of the rotary member 20 so as to change the traveling path of the grain conveyed through the rotary member 20 from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction.

The path converting member 40 includes a machining main body 41 in which a bending duct 42 is formed and at least one perforated plate 44 provided on the bending duct 42 of the machining main body.

The machining body 41 is connected to the outer case 21 of the rotating member through bolts or welding. In the interior of the processing main body 41, a folding line 42 is formed so as to bend in the vertical direction in the horizontal direction. A through hole 43 is formed in the vertical direction of the bending duct 42.

At this time, the bending conduit 42 is formed so that the diameter of the vertical conduit is equal to or smaller than the horizontal direction.

At least one perforated plate (44) is formed in the horizontal direction of the bending duct (42). The perforated plate (44) is provided adjacent to the tip of the second screw (25) of the rotary member, and when installed in pairs, the perforated plate (44) is spaced apart from each other by a certain distance.

When a plurality of perforated plates (44) are provided, the perforations of the perforated plates (44) are staggered from each other.

At the lower portion of the bending duct 42, an expansion pipe 45 is screwed so that the high pressure inside the processing main body 41 is quickly lowered. The extension pipe 45 is connected to the lower portion of the bending pipe 42 in the vertical direction and communicates with the bending pipe 42. Here, the inner diameter of the upper portion of the extension pipe 45 may be variously shaped such as a heart shape, a square shape, and a circular shape.

A diffusion net (46) is provided inside the extension pipe (45). The multi-ply network 46 serves to improve the straightness of the snack when the grain passed through the expansion pipe 45 is expanded through the expansion process, and to enhance the expansion effect.

In addition, a pressure sensor 47 may be installed inside the processing main body 41 of the path conversion member 40. The pressure sensor 47 measures the pressure inside the bending conduit 42.

At this time, when the puncher 50 and the cylinder 52 are constituted in plural, the bending pipe 42 is formed in the machining body 41 in the same quantity as the number of the punchers 50.

That is to say, since the snack is cut one cycle at every cycle in which the puncher 50 reciprocates, the bending pipe 42 is formed inside the processing body 41 so that the number of the bending pipes 42 is equal to the number of the punchers 50. [ Can be formed.

Hereinafter, the operation of a puffing machine for manufacturing snacks according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3, when rice and various grains are simultaneously fed into the hopper 13 of the upper feeding portion, the first screw 14 is fed into the lower feeding portion 15 while mixing the supplied grain.

The power transmission member 30 is operated to rotate the inner case 22 and the second screw 25 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the inner case 22 The grain is transported.

At this time, in the course of feeding the grain, the heated water is conveyed by the heating coil 27 of the rotating member, and then it is maintained at a constant temperature of about 250 to 300 ° C. after passing through the portion where the cooling water flow path 28 is located.

The grain transferred to the high temperature state passes through the second screw 25 and forms a kneaded product before passing through the perforated plate 44. After being dispersed while passing through the perforated plate 44, And are reunited at the end of the site.

The reason why the grains are made to pass through the perforated plate 44 is that the grains in a high temperature state are maintained in a well-mixed kneaded state while passing through the perforated plate 44, This is to contain large amounts of hot air inside the grain.

When the grain is filled in the bending pipe 42 as a kneaded product through the above process, the puncher 50 hits the kneaded product by the action of the cylinder 52, Is separated from the dough and is introduced into the expansion pipe (45) and the multi-ply network (46).

The kneaded water introduced into the extension pipe 45 is quickly introduced into the expansion pipe 45 through the network 46 and brought into contact with the kneaded product. The high-temperature steam contained in the kneaded product is expanded And is transformed into a swollen snack.

Here, if the length of the snack is to be further reduced or the density is increased to obtain a hard snack, the downward movement speed of the puncher 50 may be set to be slow and the time of the downward movement cycle may be adjusted.

Accordingly, the puffing machine 100 for producing snacks according to the embodiment of the present invention can produce various types of snacks by changing the path of the grain from horizontal direction to vertical direction, adjusting the length and hardness of snacks, . &Lt; / RTI >
