DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a die piece used for producing extruded noodles such as pasta and spaghetti.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Normally, extruded noodles such as pasta and spaghetti are manufactured by kneading raw material powder such as flour with water or the like, and extruding the noodle dough from a die. And when providing such extruded noodles for edible use, it is necessary to boil them.However, a method has been proposed in which a V-shaped cut is made from the surface of the noodles toward the inside in order to boil the noodles in a short time. Published Patent Gazette No. 6172, 1985, No. 1925
No. 35, No. 192, 536, 1984, No. 5443 and 1993, No. 2448
No. 86 is described. However, in the conventional noodles, even when the n-shaped grooves are provided in the noodles, the distance from the noodle surface to the groove wall surface is not uniform, so that it is difficult to boil the whole noodles uniformly when the noodles are boiled. In addition, when a groove is provided in a circular cross-section noodle, the angle between the side surface of the groove and the outer surface of the noodle becomes an acute angle, so that both sides of the groove tend to stick together during the production of the noodle, and during the drying of the noodle, etc. It is difficult to produce beautifully shaped noodles because the wall surface of the noodles is easily damaged. Furthermore, noodles provided with a V-shaped groove are bent in the groove direction when the noodle is dried, so that it is difficult to dry the noodles in a straight line.

[0003]

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to produce extruded noodles which are clean in shape and can be boiled uniformly, and furthermore, the projections are prevented from being damaged, so that the durability is high and the durability is high. It is an object of the present invention to provide an extruded noodle manufacturing die piece that can be used with the same function over a period.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided, in accordance with the present invention, a die piece for producing extruded noodles having a substantially circular extruded hole. Opposite in the diametrical direction, projections are formed alternately protruding from each other at a predetermined distance,
The tip of the projection extends to a position beyond the center line of the extrusion hole, and a reinforcing portion is provided on the pushing side of the die piece to connect and reinforce each projection and the circumferential portion. A die piece for producing extruded noodles is provided. In another preferred aspect of the present invention, the protrusion extends a predetermined distance at the push-out end of the noodle.

[0005]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional shape of a die piece 1 for extruded noodle production formed according to the present invention. A substantially circular extrusion hole 2 is provided in an extruded noodle manufacturing die piece 1 preferably made of Teflon, PBT, glass fiber, or the like. Preferably, the diameter of the extrusion hole 2 is 0.8 mm to 2.5 mm. Extruded hole 2
A predetermined distance w from the circumferential portion facing the diametrical direction.
Protrusions 3 and 4 that are alternately protruded from each other are formed. The tips 3a, 4a of the projections 3, 4 extend to positions beyond the center line of the extrusion hole 2 shown by the dashed line in FIG. In the drawing, the projections 3,
Although 4 is shown as a V-shaped tip 3a, 4a having a pointed tip, it may be a U-shaped tip with a rounded tip. By providing the protrusions 3 and 4 as described above, the extrusion hole 2 has a substantially S-shape. FIG.
1 is a side view of an extruded noodle manufacturing die piece 1. FIG.
In FIG. 2, the right side of the die piece 1 is the pushing side 5 of the noodle dough, and the left side is the pushing side 6 of the noodle dough.
The projections 3, 4 extend a predetermined length beyond the end face 7 of the die piece. With this configuration, when the noodle dough pushed in from the pushing-in side 5 is pushed out from the pushing-out side 6 to produce noodles, the projections 3 and 4 extending beyond the end face 7 serve as guide members, and both sides of the groove stick together. Is prevented.

FIG. 3 is a side view of a die piece 1 for producing extruded noodles according to another embodiment. When the noodle dough is hard, or when it is intended to extrude the noodle dough from the dice piece 1 at high speed, the use of the dice piece 1 shown in FIGS. Part 3,
Excessive force is applied to the projections 4, and the projections 3 and 4 may be damaged. Therefore, in order to prevent the protrusions 3 and 4 from being damaged,
As shown in FIG. 4, the pushing side 5 of the die piece 1
Then, reinforcing members 8 connected to the tips 3a, 4a of the projections 3, 4 and further extended to the wall of the die piece 1, respectively, were attached. In this case, if the cross-sectional area of the extrusion side 6 of the die piece 1 is kept larger than the cross-sectional area of the press-in side 5, the pressed noodle dough will not be closed by the damage caused by the reinforcing member 8, and the die piece 1 will not be closed. And noodles of beautiful shape are not manufactured. Conversely, if the cross-sectional area of the extrusion side 6 of the die piece 1 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the press-in side 5, excessive frictional heat is applied to the noodle dough, which causes quality deterioration of the noodle dough. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the noodle dough can pass smoothly from the pushing side 5 to the pushing side 6,
Through the taper 9, the cross-sectional area of the exit of the extrusion hole 2 of the die piece 1 is made substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the entrance of the extrusion hole 2. In addition, assuming that the outlet cross-sectional area of the extrusion hole 2 is 100, it is preferable that the inlet cross-sectional area of the extrusion hole 2 be about 100 to 150.

In the production of noodles, as shown in FIG. 5, it is usual to use a plurality of the above-mentioned die pieces 1 mounted on a die 10. For further increase, the die piece 1 can be covered with a metal such as brass.

[0008]

As described above, by using the die piece of the present invention, it is possible to produce noodles in which the distance from the outer surface of the noodles to the groove wall surface is substantially uniform at each part of the noodles. Then, the whole noodles can be boiled uniformly. Further, the produced noodle has an obtuse angle between the outer surface of the noodle and the groove wall surface, so that the noodle is hardly damaged and has excellent durability. Further, since two opposing grooves are formed on the noodle, the groove is not distorted to one side during drying, and the time required for boiling the noodle is shortened by about one minute as compared with one noodle. Also, when the above-described guide member is provided on the extrusion side of the die piece, the noodles extruded from the die piece are dried by cold air without the wall surfaces of the grooves sticking together, so that the noodles have a beautiful shape. Noodles can be manufactured. Furthermore, even if the noodle dough is hard or the noodle dough is to be pressed at a high speed, it is possible to produce a noodle with a beautiful shape.
