Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for forming noodle balls by gathering noodle wires of a certain length in the production of fresh noodles and Chinese noodles.

The process of turning noodle wire into noodle balls has traditionally been done by hand, but in order to mechanize this process, for example, as shown in Figure 2, the noodle wire is cut into a certain length using a well-known device and then fed into noodles. Three rollers rotating in the same direction,
A device has been developed in which the rollers are dropped into the chamber, forced to roll, and then removed by moving the rollers downwards.

However, with this device, the noodle balls become like a ball of wool with one end wrapped around the center, and when cooking, it is necessary to take a lot of effort to loosen the noodles. However, there was a drawback that corruption began in this area.

In contrast, in the present invention, the noodle wire to be wrapped is folded in two in advance, and the folded wire is wound in such a way that the bent part becomes the center and is not pulled forcefully. This makes it possible to obtain noodle balls that can be loosened quickly.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. In Fig. 1, numeral 1 is a rotary blade which vertically cuts a noodle strip a of a certain length continuously flowing down from a noodle making machine, and cuts a number of parallel blades. It is formed on the flour line a'.

A rotary blade 2 1' for cutting the rolled wire a' into a predetermined length is a supply conveyor, which is stretched almost horizontally on a base and sequentially feeds the cut rolled wire to the folding ball-making mechanism. be.

3 is a folding mechanism, and a push plate 4 curved in an arc shape
moves back and forth toward the right in the figure via the cam 5, and the
' is designed to be folded in half.

Next, reference numeral 6 denotes a folding ball-making mechanism, which is attached to the base with its tip facing diagonally downward, and is connected to an introduction conveyor 7 that receives the folded wire and constantly sends it downward, and a conveyor 7 that is close to the bottom thereof. A forming roller 8 is rotatably supported on a base and rotates clockwise to roll the rolled wire. The conveyor surfaces of the introduction conveyor 7 and the holding conveyor 10 are provided with protrusions 11 on their outer peripheral surfaces. It is made by suspending a polyethylene belt made of a large number of horizontally laid polyethylene belts, which reduces the contact area and prevents the rolled wire from adhering to the conveyor surface.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a presser roller that descends due to its own weight.

Below this folding ball making mechanism 6 is a shaped ball a/7.
A delivery conveyor 13 is attached to the base for receiving the paper and taking it out to the outside.

The above members are driven in conjunction with each other via a power transmission mechanism connected to a common deceleration motor.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, in which the fixed length of rolled wire a' sequentially fed by the supply conveyor 2 is folded into a dogleg shape from the middle part by the pushing plate 4 of the folding mechanism 3 that swings intermittently. The sheet is bent, carried on the introduction conveyor 7, folded into two, and sent onto the forming roller 8, where it is sandwiched between the rotational surface of the forming roller 80 and the transition surface of the holding conveyor 10 that moves in the opposite direction to the rotation of the forming roller. Then, a noodle a is formed by rolling the folded part into the center.

Then, as the lower end of the holding conveyor 10 moves, it is discharged onto the delivery conveyor 13.

As explained above, the present invention consists of: - A bundle of rolled wire a' is folded into two by the folding mechanism 3 using the push plate 4, and is placed along the upper surface of the introduction conveyor T. Forming roller 8 while gradually sliding on 7 sides
In this case, the holding conveyor 10
Since the holding opening is wide at the transition plane of the
Coupled with the restorability at the bending part of each rolling wire a', the center part bulges, and unlike the conventional method using linear contact between rollers, a soft and uniform product can be obtained, and The use of an endless belt for the holding conveyor 10, which is a moving body, has many advantages, such as the fact that the upper end pulley shaft can serve as both a drive shaft and a swing center shaft, which simplifies the power transmission structure.
