Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Honsuma's plan is to supply boiled noodles to a large number of box containers attached at regular intervals between a pair of left and right endless chains, and then submerge them in a boiling water tank to produce boiled noodles. In the manufacturing equipment 1,
An intermittent movement section □ driven by an intermittent drive device is provided at an appropriate position before the endless chain enters the boiling water tank in a range corresponding to several boxes and containers attached at the constant intervals. The invention also relates to an apparatus for manufacturing boiled noodles, characterized in that slack sections are provided on both sides of the section, and a boiled noodle supply section is installed to match the stop position of one of the boxes and containers in the intermittent movement section. The purpose is to accurately supply boiled noodles from the boiled noodle supply section to the box container even when the C endless chain is circulated by a continuous drive device.

2. Description of the Related Art A boiled noodle manufacturing apparatus is already known in which a box container is attached to an endless chain and the chain is moved continuously or intermittently through a boiling water tank to produce boiled noodles.

However, in a known device in which an endless chain moves continuously, the noodles to be boiled are supplied to the box container that moves continuously, so the noodles to be boiled are not necessarily accurately delivered from the noodle supply section to the box container. When the endless chain and the box container move at high speed, it becomes more difficult to accurately add the noodles to be boiled, and the yield of boiled noodles is significantly reduced because the noodles do not fit into the box container. Because of this, it was extremely difficult to increase production capacity.

In addition, in a known device in which the entire length of an endless chain is moved intermittently by an intermittent drive device, improvements have been made so that noodles to be boiled can be fed in accurately. The intermittent rotational force of the drive device not only increases the total frictional resistance due to repeated dynamic and static friction, but also has the disadvantage that repeated loads are applied to only the endless chain or the entire device, causing strain and accelerating fatigue. .

The boiled noodle manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention overcomes all of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a boiling water tank, 2 is a pair of left and right endless chains, and a box container 3 is attached to two arbitrary chain links facing each other at regular intervals.

The endless chain 2 is connected to the upper part of the starting end of the boiling water tank 1, the ends of a pair of guide rails 22 installed in the boiling water tank 1, and the sprocket foil 13.14.1 at the upper end of the boiling water tank 1.
Sprocket wheel 1' placed as shown on the outside of 5.
6, 17, 18, 19, 20.21 (The water is passed around and circulated through the boiling water tank 1.

4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 degrees 11.12 are the axes of each of the sprocket wheels 13-21.

The endless chain 2 hangs down from the sprocket wheel 13 into the boiling water tank 1 and is received by the starting end of the guide rail 22,
It is supported by the guide rail 22, passes through the boiling water in the boiling water tank 1, passes through the sprocket foil 14, and is pulled up from the boiling water tank 1 by the sprocket foil 15. A main power source 29 that rotates at high speed and a sprocket wheel 20 on the shaft 11
It is driven by a power transmission chain 27 hooked on a sprocket wheel 25 provided in parallel with the engine, and runs continuously and under tension.

Also, between the rocket wheels 21 to 13, there is an intermittent driven driven power source 30 whose speed is in harmony with the rotational speed of the main power source 29, and a sprocket wheel 26 fixed to the shaft 4 in parallel with the sprocket wheel 13. It is intermittently driven under tension by a power transmission endless chain 28 suspended between them.

The present invention uses an intermittent drive section between the sprocket wheels 21 to 13 to move several boxes 3 in this section, and an endless chain between the sprocket wheel 13 and the starting end of the guide rail 22 in the boiling water tank 1. 2 slack section A
A slack section B of the endless chain 2 is formed between the sprocket wheel 21 and the sprocket wheel 20 in front of it.
Configure.

Of course, it is also possible to use the main power source 29 as an intermittent drive device, and in this case, the power transmission chain 28 is connected to the main power source 29.
It can also be multiplied together with .

In any of the above cases, the slack section B and the intermittent drive section between the sprocket wheels 21 to 13 are actively intermittently driven by the sprocket wheel 13, and the other sections including the slack section A are actively driven by the sprocket wheel 20. be done.

Arrow a indicates the driving direction. 23 is sprocket wheel 2
Box container 3 in the intermittent movement section of endless cheno 2 between 1 and 13
This is a boiled noodle supply section consisting of a hopper installed in alignment with one of the stop positions.

In addition, a boiled noodle receptacle 24 is provided below the folded rotating part of the endless chain 2 formed by the sprocket foil 16 to receive the boiled noodles falling from the box container 3 under its own weight.

The present invention has the configuration as exemplified above, and as described above, the endless chain 2 has a slack section B and a sprocket wheel 21 to
The intermittent drive section between 13 and 13 is driven by the sprocket wheel 13 driven by an intermittent drive device, and the other sections, including the slack section A, are driven continuously or intermittently by the sprocket wheel 25 to reach the slack section B. Sprocket wheels 13 and 20
Even when the sprocket wheel 13 is continuously driven by adjusting the speeds of the sprocket wheels 13 and 13, the total amount of slack in the endless chain 2 becomes equal to the slack sections A and B.

Therefore, even if the amount of slack in the chain in the slack sections A and B changes, one increases and the other decreases, or one decreases and the other increases, the tension running in the intermittent drive zone between the sprocket wheels 21 to 13 There is no change in the distance, and the vehicle can travel intermittently over that section with extremely light and accurate movement.

Therefore, while the box container 3 is stopped at one of the intermittent stop positions in the intermittent running section between the sprocket foils 21 to 13, the noodles to be boiled are accurately supplied from the noodle supply section 23, and the slack due to the sprocket foils 20 is prevented. By running in section A and other sections, the noodles pass through the boiling water tank 1 in a predetermined time to boil the noodles. When changing the rotational speed, the intermittent drive speed of the sprocket wheel 13 is also changed in harmony with it, and the supply speed of the boiled noodles in the boiled noodle supply section 23 is also harmonized, so that the boiled noodle manufacturing apparatus is always kept in good health. It can be activated.

As clarified from the above explanation, the present invention is based on an endless chain in which a large number of boxes and containers are attached at regular intervals, and an intermittent drive section driven by an intermittent drive device is provided in front of the boiling water tank, and slack is provided before and after the endless chain. Sections B and A are provided, and only the intermittent drive section and the slack section B before it are insulated so that they are not affected by the speed of the drive device that determines the time for the box container to pass through the boiling water tank. Therefore, due to the intermittent movement of the intermittent drive section and the slack section B, the movement resistance of the endless chino applied to the sprocket wheel in front of the intermittent drive device can be reduced.

That is, the same endless chain 2 can be divided into an intermittent running section and a continuous running section, or can be divided into two intermittent running sections, and in the intermittent running section where a slack section is installed before and after the boiling water tank. , the boiled noodles can be fed from the boiled noodle supply section to the box container that stops at one intermittent stop position over a sufficient feeding time, and the above-mentioned feeding failure does not occur. In addition, various drawbacks of the conventional boiled noodle manufacturing apparatus mentioned above can be effectively eliminated, so that it is possible to realize improved durability and high efficiency of productivity.
