Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a noodle-making kneading machine that adds and kneads flour, water, and some salt in the noodle manufacturing process. It is designed to optimize the generation of gluten and prevent the generation of gluten from being destroyed.

<Prior Art> A conventional kneading machine of this type has a rotating shaft disposed in a cylindrical or gutter-shaped kneading tank, and stirring rods are arranged radially around the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to an electric motor via a reduction gear. The reduction ratio of the reduction gear is generally constant or two-speed.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> The relationship between the amount of gluten generated during mixing in a kneading machine and time is shown in a graph as shown in Figure 2. That is, in the initial stage, the amount of gluten generated is small compared to the crosstalk time, and as the amount of gluten generated approaches the maximum value, the rate of increase increases. If the crosstalk continues even after the maximum value has passed, the gluten structure will be cut into pieces, and the amount of gluten will decrease again.

Since the amount of gluten generated changes in this way, the rotation speed of the stirring blade should be set high in the early stages to shorten the cross-mixing time, and then when it is near the maximum value, the rotation speed should be lowered to knead. It is desirable not to exceed
Further, kneading in this manner has the following advantages. First, by rotating the mixing member at high speed, flour and water are easily mixed uniformly.At the beginning of mixing, the flour and water are not yet sticky (the amount of gluten generated is small). This allows the water to be mixed evenly and quickly. By lowering the rotational speed as the viscosity increases, it is possible to prevent the generation of frictional heat (which causes deterioration of the flavor of the noodle dough).

However, the stirring blades of conventional crosstalk machines generally cannot change the rotation speed, and even if they can, the speed is at most two-speed. This is because conventional crosstalk devices did not take the above phenomenon into consideration at all.

And the ones that can change the rotation speed did not focus on the above points, but simply increased the reduction ratio because the load increases as the viscosity increases. Rotation speed cannot be adjusted.

Measures to solve these problems> In other words, in order to shorten the kneading time and finish the kneading operation when the amount of gluten generation is at its maximum, the rotation speed of the mixing machine or the rotation speed of the stirring blades should be adjusted as appropriate. I need to do it.

Therefore, the present invention provides a kneading machine with a drive source for kneading wheat flour and water for noodle making, in which the drive source is an electric motor whose rotational speed can be controlled steplessly, and the rotational speed of the stirring blades is adjusted according to the elapsed time of kneading and the gluten. Stepless control according to the amount generated,
This allows noodle dough with the best gluten to be produced in the shortest amount of time.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the noodle-making mixer according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1 is a linear kneading tank, and 2 is a kneading member. The mixing member 2 has radial stirring blades 4 on a rotating shaft 3.
A small gear 5 is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft 3. 6 is a thyristor-type AC non-commutator motor whose rotational speed can be changed steplessly. 7 is connected to this thyristor type AC non-commutator motor 6.

It is a large gear that meshes with the small gear 5. Also, the third
As shown in the figure, instead of the thyristor-type AC non-commutator motor 6, a primary frequency controlled induction motor set which is a combination of an ordinary squirrel cage induction motor and an inverter may be used.

Function> So, put flour, water, and some salt in a kneading tank l, and mix it with a thyristor-type AC non-commutator electric 4 m! 6 to rotate the crosstalk member 2. At the beginning of kneading, keep the rotation speed high so that the flour and water are mixed evenly and quickly. Then, as the viscosity increases and the amount of gluten generated increases, the speed is finely and gradually reduced.As the amount of gluten generated approaches the maximum value, the rotation time at the same speed is shortened to avoid excessive rotation. It is necessary to Then, the operation is stopped when the amount of gluten generation reaches the maximum value.

Further, this speed may be changed manually depending on the amount of gluten generated, but the speed can be changed gradually using a timer. Furthermore, you can program the speed control in advance and control the speed by computer.
By measuring the load on the motor and the viscosity, the rotational speed can be electrically controlled as appropriate.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the noodle-making kneading machine according to the present invention, since the driving source of the stirring blade is an electric motor whose rotational speed can be controlled steplessly, the cross-wire work can be performed in a short time of M1. It can be done in the same condition, and the best gluten development is possible. And since the speed of the motor can be changed using only electrical signals, 1
Rotation speed can be easily controlled and automatic operation is possible.
