Description

Thickness-adjustable noodle making device {Thickness-adjustable noodle making device}

This invention relates to a thickness-adjustable noodle-making device that can inject noodles of different thicknesses so that a variety of textures can be felt from a single noodle strand.

In Korea and around the world, noodle cuisine is one of the dishes that has been enjoyed for a long time. According to the food type classification of noodles in the Korean Food Code, noodles are divided into noodles, naengmyeon, and glass noodles depending on the raw materials. When fried in oil, they are made into pasta such as fried noodles, macaroni, and spaghetti, and other types such as sujebi or dumpling skin. are distinguished.

Meanwhile, depending on the manufacturing method of noodles, the surface that is cut by rolling grain dough with a roller and then cutting it using an extruder is called the extruded surface, and the surface that is formed by passing it through an injection machine consisting of a screw and barrel is called an extruded surface. The cut surface, which is continuously made while moving the dough in the horizontal direction with a conveyor belt, forms waves in a zigzag format in the direction of movement of the surface for compact packaging, so the surfaces of the packaging units all have the same shape. There is a limit.

On the other hand, the extruded noodles made by drying the noodle strings that have passed through the injection machine have a denser texture and higher density than the porous fried noodles. In particular, since the injection surface uses a noodle-making method that pushes out using pressure, the width of the surface can be varied. However, the noodles manufactured to date had no choice but to have the same thickness through the same process. Depending on the taste of the person consuming noodles, some may prefer a chewy texture or some may prefer a soft texture. Additionally, when cooking the same noodles, you may want different textures, but the noodles manufactured to date have limitations in meeting these needs.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a thickness-adjustable noodle-making device that can improve texture through noodle strands of various thicknesses in one packaging unit by injecting a single strand of noodles to have different thicknesses.

To achieve this purpose, the thickness-adjusting noodle-making device of the present invention includes a mixture manufacturing unit where a mixture for noodle making is formed, and a plurality of noodle products that inject noodles from the mixture input from the mixture manufacturing unit, and whose size is adjusted according to the type of noodle. It may include an injection unit including a hole and a control unit that controls opening and closing of the plurality of holes to adjust the thickness of the surface to be injected according to the type of the surface.

Additionally, the control unit may generate a control signal for controlling the opening and closing of the plurality of holes and transmit the control signal to the injection unit, and the injection unit may control the opening and closing of the plurality of holes based on the control signal.

Additionally, the control unit may generate the control signal so that the injection unit injects the surface from a first thickness to a second thickness.

Additionally, the injection unit may open and close the plurality of holes so that the surface has the second thickness in the process of injecting the surface with the first thickness based on the control signal.

According to the present invention as described above, by injecting a single noodle strand to have different thicknesses, it is possible to provide a thickness-adjusting noodle making device that can improve texture through noodle strands of various thicknesses in one packaging unit.
