[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional noodle making machine, since the rotating shaft is rotated only in one direction and the raw materials inside the barrel are sequentially conveyed in only one direction, the kneading of the raw materials is not possible. Even if it was sufficient, the raw material was sometimes mechanically conveyed toward the end of the conveyance and extruded from the nozzle as it was.

Moreover, in the above-mentioned conventional noodle making machine, since the raw materials are kneaded and conveyed at the same time, the barrel tends to have a horizontally long shape in order to surely carry out the kneading. To simplify the internal structure of the noodle making machine,
Therefore, there was a problem that the shape of the noodle making machine could not be made compact.

[0007] Therefore, there is a demand for a compact noodle-making machine capable of kneading and extruding raw materials with a single rotating shaft and capable of sufficiently kneading the raw materials.

Further, according to the present invention, as described above, since the dough reverse-feeding preventive member is provided at the boundary between the kneading chamber and the extraction passage, the noodle dough remains inside the extraction passage while the rotary shaft is rotated. Is rotated in the rotation direction during kneading, the conveyor blade rotates in the opposite direction to the rotation direction during transportation, and the noodle dough inside the extraction path is in the opposite direction to the direction during transportation, that is, in the kneading chamber. Even if the noodle dough is conveyed in the same direction, the noodle dough can be prevented by the dough reverse-feeding preventer to prevent the noodle dough from being backwardly fed into the kneading chamber. Therefore, even if the noodle dough remains inside the extraction channel, it is possible to continuously add new raw material to the kneading chamber and knead the same raw material. Noodles can be continuously produced without applying.

Further, the noodle making machine of the present invention may be provided with a vacuum pump for bringing the kneading chamber and the extraction passage into a vacuum state. When the same vacuum pump is provided, it is possible to prevent air from entering the noodle dough and to produce the noodle dough having a firm texture in a short time. Moreover, as described above, according to the present invention, since the noodle making machine can be formed compactly, deaeration in the noodle making machine by the vacuum pump becomes easy, and the vacuum pump can be operated with a small driving force, and the noodle making machine It is possible to quickly deaerate the inside of the aircraft.

Further, the dough reverse-feeding preventive body is provided with a short tubular dough guide body projecting around the base end opening of the extraction path with a part of the upper side of the peripheral wall serving as a dough guide port. It is desirable to make it close to the guide body, and with such a configuration, a predetermined distance can be provided between the base end opening of the extraction path and the cloth reverse feed preventive body by the cloth guide body,
The front end opening of the dough guide body can be closed by the dough reverse feeding prevention body, and the entrance from the kneading chamber to the extraction path can be the dough guide port of the dough guide body only.

Therefore, the noodle dough inside the extraction channel cannot move into the kneading chamber unless it gets over the dough reverse feeding preventive body, and the noodle dough inside the extraction channel cannot be fed back into the kneading chamber. It can be surely prevented. On the other hand, the dough guide opening of the dough guide body is always open, so when moving the noodle dough from the kneading chamber to the extraction path, all that is necessary is to scrape the kneaded noodle dough into the dough guide mouth of the dough guide body. The noodle dough inside the kneading chamber can be easily moved to the inside of the extraction path.

The kneading chamber 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape extending in the lateral direction, and has a side surface 15b on the extraction path 16 side (tip side), that is,
While making the inner surface of the casing tip portion 14c flat,
The other side surface, that is, the side surface 15a on the base end side formed by the inner side surface of the casing base portion 14a and the inner peripheral surface of the casing body portion 14b is curved in a dome shape.

Further, the extraction passage 16 has a casing tip portion 14c.
Is formed into a cylindrical shape that extends in the lateral direction by piercing the central part of the above, and the virtual center line is located on the extension line of the virtual center line of the kneading chamber 15.

As can be seen from FIG. 5 or 6, the side surface 15b of the kneading chamber 15 on the side of the extraction passage 16 has the above-mentioned extraction passage 1
Along the base end opening 20 of 6, a short tubular dough guide body 21 is formed by cutting out a part of the upper side of the peripheral wall as a dough guide port 21a. The dough guide body 21 not only guides the noodle dough produced in the kneading chamber 15 to the extraction path 16 through the dough guide port 21a, but also together with the dough reverse feed preventive body 34 described later, the extraction path.
It prevents the noodle dough from being fed back from 16 to the kneading room 15.

The extrusion nozzle 19 comprises a cylindrical nozzle base 22 attached to the tip of the extraction passage 16 and a nozzle head 23 having a large number of extrusion holes 23a detachably attached to the tip of the nozzle base 22. Become.

The nozzle base 22 is fixed through the center of the nozzle arm 24, and together with the nozzle arm 24, the casing 14 is provided.
It is detachably attached to the tip of and is communicated with the extraction passage 16.

On the inner surface of the nozzle head 23,
A support recess 23b is provided which engages with the tip of the kneading and conveying rotary shaft 6 and supports the same kneading and conveying rotary shaft 6.

The kneading / conveying rotary shaft 6 has a casing base 14
a from the outside to the inside of the casing base 14a
Rotatably attached to the casing base 14a
Of the drive rotary shaft 27 having the drive gear 7 attached to the base end projecting outward of the drive gear 7, and a sectional view H at the tip of the drive rotary shaft 27.
The base ends are detachably connected via a character-shaped joint 28,
A kneading blade rotating shaft 29 disposed inside the kneading chamber 15 and a base end thereof are detachably connected to the tip of the kneading blade rotating shaft 29, and the tip is detachably engaged with the supporting recess 23b of the nozzle head 23. Then, it is constituted by the conveyor blade rotating shaft 30 disposed inside the extraction passage 16.

In particular, the joint 28, the kneading blade rotating shaft 29, and the conveying blade rotating shaft 30 are tightened with the arm fixing handle 26 to press the nozzle arm 24 toward the casing tip portion 14c. A rotary shaft 27 for driving fixed to 14a and a nozzle head fixed to a nozzle arm 24

Therefore, if the arm fixing handle 26 is loosened, the joint 28, the kneading blade rotating shaft 29, and the conveying blade rotating shaft 30 are separated from the driving rotating shaft 27, and the kneading conveying rotating shaft 6 is separated into four parts. It can be disassembled into parts. In the figure,
31 is a bearing.

On the kneading blade rotating shaft 29, spatula-shaped kneading blades 32 each having a flattened tip are provided at predetermined intervals perpendicularly to the axis, and the spatula-shaped kneading blades 32 are shown in FIG. As shown
Of the two surfaces that form the tip part, while projecting at different positions by a predetermined angle around the axis of the kneading blade rotation shaft 29,
The surface 32b facing the rotation direction during conveyance is directed toward the extraction path 16 (the surface 32a facing the rotation direction during kneading is directed toward the base end of the kneading chamber 15).

Thus, by forming the tip of the kneading blade to be flat and directing the surface facing the rotation direction at the time of conveyance toward the extraction path 16, the kneading blade allows the inside of the kneading chamber 15 to be conveyed at the time of conveyance. The noodle dough can be scraped out to the extraction passage 16, and at the time of kneading, the raw material inside the kneading chamber 15 can be kneaded by the kneading blades in the opposite direction to the extraction passage 16 to perform the kneading of the raw materials. It is possible to reverse the scraping direction of the raw material (noodle dough) depending on the time, so that the raw materials can be smoothly kneaded and the noodle dough can be conveyed.

At the base end of the kneading blade rotating shaft 29, one end of a U-shaped kneading blade 33 formed in a substantially U shape in side view is attached. The other end of the U-shaped kneading blade 33 is attached to the joint 28 so that the U-shaped kneading blade 33 rotates along the side surface 15a of the kneading chamber 15 curved in a dome shape.

Further, a disk-shaped dough reverse feed preventive member 34 is attached to the tip of the kneading blade rotary shaft 29 in the form of a brim. 6
Is divided into the kneading chamber 15 side and the extraction path 16 side. Moreover,
The dough reverse-feed prevention member 34 is located close to the dough guide body 21 of the kneading chamber 15, and is located at the boundary between the kneading chamber 15 and the extraction passage 16 and the noodle dough from the extraction passage 16 to the kneading chamber 15 is formed. It also plays a role in preventing backhaul.

As described above, the dough guide body 21 of the kneading chamber 15 is partially cut away at the upper side of the peripheral wall to form the dough guide port 21a.
Since the dough is provided, the noodle dough inside the kneading chamber 15 can be moved to the extraction path 16 through the dough guide port 21a of the dough guide body 21.

The dough reverse-feed preventing member 34 may be attached anywhere as long as it is the boundary between the kneading chamber 15 and the extraction passage 16, for example, the dough guide member 21. Furthermore, it is also possible not to provide the fabric back-feeding prevention body 34.

A spiral conveyor blade 35 is attached to the conveyor blade rotating shaft 30, and the conveyor blade 35 conveys the noodle dough inside the extraction path 16 toward the extrusion nozzle 19 at the time of conveyance, and conveys the same. Operate wing 35 as an extruder.

As described above, in this embodiment, a plurality of rotary shafts are used.
By arranging 27, 29, and 30 on the same axis and connecting the ends thereof detachably, the kneading / conveying rotary shaft 6 as a single rotary shaft is formed. Therefore, if the rotary shaft 6 for kneading and conveying is disassembled, the rotary shafts 27, 29, 30 and the kneading blades 32, 33 are disassembled.
It is possible to easily perform maintenance and cleaning of the carrier blade 35. The kneading / conveying rotary shaft 6 may not be composed of a plurality of disassembleable rotary shafts but may be composed of only one rotary shaft.

Next, a process for producing noodles using the noodle making machine A having the above-mentioned structure will be described.

(Kneading step) First, the sealing lid 18 and the water injection lid 36.
Is opened, a predetermined amount of solid raw material is fed into the kneading chamber 15 through the raw material feeding port 17, and then only the water injection lid 36 is closed.

Next, the drive motor 2 is operated to rotate the kneading / conveying rotary shaft 6 in the forward direction, and the spatula-shaped kneading blade 32 and the U-shaped kneading blade are fed.
While rotating 33, a predetermined amount of liquid raw material is injected into the kneading chamber 15 through the water injection hole 36a provided in the water injection lid 36.

As described above, the drive motor 2 is the water injection lid.
It is in a movable state only when the lid detection sensor 36b provided in 36 detects that the water injection lid 36 is arranged above the raw material inlet 17. Therefore, when the spatula-shaped kneading blade 32 and the U-shaped kneading blade 33 are rotating, the raw material inlet 17 is always covered with the water injection lid 36, and the spinning spatula-shaped kneading blade 32 and the U-shaped kneading blade are rotating. It is possible to prevent the operator's hand or foreign matter from being accidentally caught in the 33.

After the water injection is completed, the sealing lid 18 is also closed to make the inside of the noodle making machine body 1 in a hermetically sealed state, and in the kneading chamber 15, the raw material is kneaded by the spatula-shaped kneading blade 32 and the U-shaped kneading blade 33 ( Do the kneading).

In particular, the spatula-shaped kneading blade 32 performs kneading while scraping the raw material inside the kneading chamber 15 in the direction opposite to the extraction passage 16 during normal rotation, so that the raw material during kneading moves to the extraction passage 16 side. Can be suppressed. In addition, even if the raw material being kneaded is sent to the extraction passage 16 beyond the dough reverse feed preventive member 34, the conveying blades 35 of the extraction passage 16 will have the extraction passage 16 at the time of forward rotation.
Since the substance inside is transported to the kneading chamber 15 side, the raw material that has been mistakenly sent to the inside of the extraction passage 16 can be returned to the kneading chamber 15 again.

Further, since the U-shaped kneading blade 33 rotates along the side surface 15a of the kneading chamber 15 which is curved like a dome, it is possible to prevent the raw material from adhering to the side surface 15a.

It should be noted that the raw material may be added at one time by including the liquid raw material in the solid raw material, instead of separately feeding the solid raw material and the liquid raw material as described above.

After a certain period of time has passed and when the kneading of the raw materials has proceeded to about half, the vacuum pump 3 is operated to bring the inside of the noodle making machine main body, that is, the kneading chamber 15 and the extraction passage 16 into a vacuum state. Continue kneading the raw materials. in this way,
By kneading the raw materials in a vacuum state, it is possible to prevent air from being mixed into the raw materials, promote the formation of a gluten network structure in the noodle dough, and produce elastic noodles in a short time. .

(Extrusion Step) After a certain period of time has passed, the raw materials are surely kneaded and the noodle dough is produced. Then, the drive motor 2 is set to the reverse rotation mode to reverse the kneading and conveying rotary shaft 6. By this operation, the noodle dough inside the kneading chamber 15 is sent to the extraction path 16 by the spatula-shaped kneading blade 32, and the noodle dough is extracted from the extraction path 16.
It can be conveyed toward the extrusion nozzle 19 while being compressed by the conveying blades 35 which are rotating in the inside of 16. In particular, the spatula-shaped kneading blade 32 rotates while scraping the noodle dough inside the kneading chamber 15 toward the extraction path 16 at the time of reverse rotation,
The raw materials inside the kneading chamber 15 can be easily moved to the extraction path 16.

Then, the raw material conveyed to the extrusion nozzle 19 is extruded from a large number of extrusion holes 23a formed in the nozzle head 23 to form noodles, and is further cut into a predetermined length by a cutter (not shown). Disconnect.

As described above, noodles can be produced by the present noodle making machine A.

In the noodle making machine A, it is also possible to add a new raw material into the kneading chamber 15 during the extrusion process of the noodle dough and continue the kneading process. In that case, first,
All the noodle dough inside the kneading chamber 15 is moved to the extraction path 16, and then new raw materials are charged into the kneading chamber 15.

As described above, in the kneading step, the kneading / conveying rotary shaft 6 is rotated in the normal direction. Therefore, when a new raw material is charged and the kneading step is started again, the noodle dough previously moved to the inside of the extraction passage 16 is started. Is sent back to the kneading chamber 15 again. However, in the present embodiment, since the dough reverse-feeding preventive body 34 is provided at the boundary between the extraction path 16 and the kneading chamber 15, the noodle dough backward-fed in the direction of the kneading chamber 15 is prevented by the dough reverse-feeding preventive body 34. It is possible to prevent the noodle dough from flowing into the kneading chamber 15 by holding the dough.

As described above, in this embodiment, the kneading chamber 15 and the extraction passage 16 are separated by the dough reverse-feed preventing member 34, so that the already kneaded noodle dough remains inside the extraction passage 16. Even in this case, new raw materials are introduced into the kneading chamber 15 so that the same raw materials can be kneaded. Therefore, the raw materials can be continuously kneaded without the trouble of taking out the noodle dough remaining inside the extraction path 16.
