Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a noodle band ripening method for aging a noodle band extruded from a noodle making machine in a noodle making operation for a required period of time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventional noodle band ripening method which is not manually operated and is of an automatic type. A plate-like noodle band 10 extruded from a noodle making machine is slowly cooled as shown in the drawing. It is generally performed by swinging out and waving on a belt conveyor 11 running in a wavy manner.

[0003]

As described above, the wavy fold-out type of belt which has been sprinkled on the belt is insufficiently matured at the folded portion. Therefore, there is a problem that a large installation space is required.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and is characterized in that a chain, a belt, a wire, or the like is passed between sprockets and pulleys provided opposite to each other. In the horizontal direction at a fixed interval such as a chain, a belt or a wire, a comb bar of a predetermined length is projected so as to rotate endlessly, and a fixed length is provided by straddling between adjacent comb bars. Is provided, and a noodle band is laid on each comb bar in a wavy manner so that the noodle bands are matured in a loop-shaped rotation process.

[0005]

The noodle band is suspended in a wave-like vertically suspended state between comb bars protruding in the horizontal direction at a predetermined interval position such as a chain, a belt or a wire, and the chain, the belt or the wire continuously rotates in a ring shape. Since the ripening is performed in the process, the aging effect is performed efficiently by effectively utilizing the space in a relatively narrow place.

1 shows an example of an apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention, wherein A is a plan view and B is a partial perspective view. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a chain, a timing belt or a wire (in the drawing, a chain is shown) or the like, which is looped between sprockets or pulleys 2 disposed opposite to each other so as to rotate in a loop. Has become. Reference numeral 3 denotes a comb bar of a fixed length which is mounted in a protruding state via a bracket p in a horizontal direction at regular intervals of the chain 1 and has a roller 4 at its tip which is automatically rotated.
Is installed. In the drawing, reference numeral 5 denotes a guide rail provided so as to engage with the roller 4 to guide the roller.

In the present invention, the plate-shaped noodle band 8 extruded from the noodle-making machine 6 is swung out to each of the comb bars 3 of the noodle band ripening apparatus having the above-described structure, and each of the comb bars 3 receives the same. The sprocket or pulley 2 rotates slowly and intermittently, and the noodle band 8 has adjacent comb bars 3, 3 as shown in FIG.
It will be installed in a wavy vertical state between them. On this occasion,
The hanging state of the noodle band 8 is regulated to a fixed depth position, and the holding cloth 9 is erected between the comb bars 3, 3 in order to minimize the extension of the noodle band due to its own weight.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which the noodle belt conveying means having the above-described structure is formed into a multilayer (two layers in the illustrated example) in a three-dimensional space, wherein A is a plan view and B is a schematic perspective view. As shown in the figure, the endless loop-shaped rotation is performed without the comb bars 3 coming into contact with each other in the three-dimensional space by alternately making the opposite sprockets or pulleys of different diameters such as 2 and 2 '. Can be done.

[0009]

The present invention is implemented as described above.
It is a narrow space and it rotates in a ring shape in the space,
In addition, since the noodle band is suspended in a wavy shape at that time, the noodle band is aged for a long period of time, which greatly contributes to quality improvement. In addition, since the holding cloth is laid between adjacent comb bars in a U-shaped cross section, the extension of the noodle band due to its own weight is minimized, which contributes to further improvement in quality.
