【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、握り飯の一方の面側を成形し、一面側に膨出部を有する第１成形部と、握り飯の他方の面側を成形し、一面側に膨出部を有する第２成形部と、これら第１成形部と第２成形部を回動自在に連結する連結部と、各成形部の周縁部から略輪状に延出された延出片とからなる握り飯製造用治具を強制的に回転させながら内部の握り飯を成形するようにした握り飯製造装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、握り飯は人の手で握られて作られていた。人の手で握る場合、その人が握り飯を作る経験を積んだ人であれば、その経験に基づく適度な圧縮速度及び適度な圧縮力で飯を握ることができるので、表面付近は固く、内部は柔らかくふっくらとした握り飯を作ることが可能であった。このような握り飯は、歯応えや舌触りが良く、食感に優れた美味しいものである。しかしながら、人の手で製造する場合には、ある程度の経験を積んだ人でなければこれらの食感に優れた握り飯を作ることができないという問題があった。また、製造速度が安定せず、また疲労のために大量に製造することが難しいという問題があった。さらに、握り飯毎の飯の量を一定にすることが難しいので、大きさ、重さ、固さ等の品質が安定しないという問題もあった。
【０００３】
なお、握り飯を機械で製造する試みもなされているようではあるが、この装置は、一側面が開口された所定形状の容器内に飯を入れた後、この飯を、前記開口部から進入される押し板で圧縮成形するものであった。この従来の握り飯製造装置によれば、飯は表面のみならず中心部までが固く圧縮されてしまい、飯が表面付近のみならず中心部まで押し潰されて、歯応えや舌触りが悪い握り飯となっていた。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記従来の問題を解消し、表面付近は締め固められる一方で内部は柔らかくふっくらして歯応えや舌触りが良好な握り飯を、握り飯を作った経験がない人でも容易に作ることができ、且つ殆ど自動的に作ることができて、握り飯の大量生産を行うことができる握り飯製造装置を提供することを目的としている。

【０００９】
本実施形態の握り飯製造装置は、図１、図２、図３に示すように、外側が略筐体形状のカバー体１に覆われていて、このカバー体１の上面に蓋を開けた状態の炊飯器２を前側が低くなるようにセットするためのセット部３が設けられ、このセット部３の前側に炊飯器２から取り出す飯（図示略）を規定分量分下側に落とし込む一対の穴部４、４が設けられていて、この穴部４、４の下側に計量器５が配置され、この計量器５の載せ台５ａの上面に後述する握り飯製造用治具６が開いた状態で載置されており、各穴部４、４から落とし込まれた飯を握り飯製造用治具６の各成形部６ａ、６ｂに計量器５で計量しながら入れ込むようにしている。
また、図４に示すように、カバー体１の適宜箇所には、成形前の握り飯を封入した握り飯製造用治具６をカバー体１内の回転成形部（後述する）に供給するための角筒形状に上向きに突出し内部が開口された投入口７が設けられている。
【００１０】
更に、図３に示すように、カバー体１の側部には、カバー体１内の回転成形部で回転されながら送られて内部の握り飯が成形された後の握り飯製造用治具６を自動排出する側向きに開口された排出口８が設けられている。
そして、図５に示すように、カバー体１内の回転成形部は、一方向に回転し上下方向中途部に回転伝達用の円板部９ａを有する略筒状の第１回転体９と、この第１回転体９の下側に配置されて他方向（第１回転体とは逆方向）に回転する略円板状の第２回転体１０と、前記第１回転体９の外周面に所定間隔毎に複数垂下状態で設けられ、後述する握り飯製造用治具６の上側を保持しながらこの握り飯製造用治具６の上側を押して回転させながら押し送りする正面視略縦コ字形の上側押送部材１１と、第２回転体１０の周縁近傍箇所で上側押送部材１１と上下向きに対向するように所定間隔毎に複数立設され、握り飯製造用治具６の下側を回転自在に保持しながらこの握り飯製造用治具６を順次受け送りする側面視略台形状の一対の下側受送部材１２、１２とを有している。
【００１１】
後に詳述するが、上側押送部材１１と一対の下側受送部材１２、１２には、その中央部分に握り飯製造用治具６の外周縁の延出片６ｃが入り込む間隙部１１ａ及び１２ａが設けられていて、握り飯製造用治具６の中央部分の握り飯を成形する部分である両側の膨出部６ｄ、６ｆの基端部が上側押送部材１１と一対の下側受送部材１２、１２の前面及び上面に当接しながら、互いに逆回転する上側押送部材１１と下側受送部材１２、１２との間で握り飯製造用治具６が一方向に回転し続けながら送られることによって、握り飯製造用治具６内の握り飯を成形するようになっている（詳しくは、図５における引出し部分である一点鎖線の円弧内の部分拡大斜視図を参照すること）。
【００１２】
また、第１回転体９と第２回転体１０とを互いに逆方向に回転させる回転駆動手段は、図５及び図６に示すように、第１回転体９の外側に配置された筒状体２５の上端縁に架け渡された支持板状体２６の中心部から軸受２７を介して回転自在に下向きに垂設され、第１回転体９の円板部９ａと円板形状の第２回転体１０の中心を貫いて立設された長軸１３と、この長軸１３の下側に取り付けられた大径の第１ギヤ体１４と、長軸１３の上下方向中間部にベアリング１５を介して配設され第２回転体１０を回転させるための大径の第２ギヤ体１６と、駆動モータ１７から垂下された駆動軸１８と、この駆動軸１８の下側に取り付けられて第１ギヤ体１４と噛み合う下側駆動ギヤ１９と、駆動軸１８の上下方向中間部に取り付けられて中間ギヤ２０を介して第２ギヤ体１６と噛み合う中間駆動ギヤ２１とから構成されている。
そして、駆動モータ１７を回転駆動することによって、駆動軸１８と下側駆動ギヤ１９とこれに噛み合う第１ギヤ体１４の回転によって長軸１３を回転して第１回転体９を正回転させ、駆動軸１８と中間駆動ギヤ２１と中間ギヤ２０とこれに噛み合う第２ギヤ体１６の回転によって第２回転体１０を逆回転させるようにしている。
【００１３】
ここで、前述した握り飯製造用治具６について、図７、図８を参照しつつ、更に詳述すると、この握り飯製造用治具６は、握り飯Ｍ（図９〜図１２参照）の一方の面側を成形し、一面側に膨出部６ｄを有する第１成形部６ａと、握り飯Ｍ（図９〜図１２参照）の他方の面側を成形し、一面側に膨出部６ｆを有する第２成形部６ｂと、これら第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂを回動自在に連結する連結部６ｇと、各成形部６ｄ、６ｆの周縁部から略輪状に延出された延出片６ｃとで形成されている。
更に、延出片６ｃにおける前記した連結部６ｇの反対側の外側縁から外向きに広い幅の延設された取っ手片６ｈ、６ｈにそれぞれ形成されていて、その幅方向中央箇所に円穴６ｉ、６ｉがそれぞれ形成されている。
【００１４】
また、各膨出部６ｄ、６ｆの基端周縁から中央に向けて球面状に膨らんだ部分は、略Ｗ字形の山谷形状部６ｊ、６ｊにそれぞれ形成され、更に中央側部分は無数の凹凸部を有する水平形状部６ｋ、６ｋに形成されている。
これらの第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂは、連結部６ｇから表向きに回動させると、図８に示すように、上下に膨らんだ各膨出部６ｄ、６ｆを有する袋状となり、これら各膨出部６ｄ、６ｆ部分に握り飯Ｍ（図９〜図１２参照）が封入された状態となる。
【００１５】
次に、図９、図１０、図１１、図１２を参照しつつ、握り飯製造用治具６が握り飯製造装置内で強制的に回転移送されながらこの握り飯製造治具６内に封入されている握り飯Ｍが成形されていく過程について、概略説明する。
内部に定量分の飯が封入されてカバー体１の投入口７から上側押送部材１１と下側受送部材１２、１２との間に供給された握り飯製造用治具６は、その初期の状態では、図９に示すように、内部の握り飯Ｍが前後の膨出部６ｄ、６ｆ内で下側の連結部６ｇ寄り部分に下がった状態となっており、上側押送部材１１の正回転方向への移動と下側受送部材１２、１２の逆回転方向への移動によって、図にて反時計方向に回転されながら移送される。
【００１６】
次には、図１０に示すように、取っ手片６ｈ、６ｈが図にて左側で連結部６ｇが右側に位置すると、内部の握り飯Ｍは連結部６ｇ寄り部分から図にて下側に寄った状態となり、その下端部分が締め固められるように成形され、更に反時計方向に回転されながら移送されると、図１１に示すように、内部の握り飯Ｍは下側の取っ手片６ｈ、６ｈ寄り部分に下がった状態となって、その下端部分が締め固められるように成形され、更に反時計方向に回転されながら移送されると、図１２に示すように、取っ手片６ｈ、６ｈが図にて右側で連結部６ｇが左側に位置して、内部の握り飯Ｍは図にて下側に寄った状態となり、その下端部分が締め固められるように成形され、更に反時計方向に回転されながら移送されると図９の状態に戻り、図にて下側の連結部６ｇ寄り部分に下がった状態となり、その下側部分が締め固められるように成形される。
また、これとともに、図９〜図１２に示す握り飯製造用治具６が図にて反時計方向に回転移送される間は、握り飯Ｍの図にて前後の表面部分も常に各膨出部６ｄ、６ｆの内面に圧接された状態となっているので、これら前後の表面部分も締め固められるように成形される。
【００１７】
しかし、握り飯Ｍの内部は、柔らかくふっくらした状態が保たれていて、表面部分が締め固められる一方で内部は柔らかくふっくらとして歯応えや舌触りが良好な握り飯が形成されることとなる。
しかも、このような握り飯Ｍを、握り飯を作った経験がない人でも容易に作ることができる。
特に、このような握り飯Ｍを殆ど自動的に作ることができて、握り飯の大量生産を行うことができる。
【００１８】
次に、第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂとに定量分の飯を入れた状態で、連結部６ｇで回動させて第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂとが折り重なって開かないようにする構造例として、図１３と図１４及び図１５と図１６を参照しつつ説明する。
図１３と図１４に示す例では、図１３に示すように、第１成形部６ａの図にて上側の取っ手部６ｈに外縁左側からＬ字形状の切り込み６ｍを設けるとともに、第２成形部６ｂの下側の取っ手片６ｈに外縁右側に垂直な直線状の切り込み６ｎを設けて、図１４に示すように、第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂとを折り重ねた状態で、一方の取っ手片６ｈのＬ字形の切り込み６ｍで形成された係入片６ｑを他方の取っ手片６ｈの直線状の切り込み６ｎに差し込むことによって、この係入片６ｑを上下から挟み込むようにして抜け止めすることによって、第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂが開かないようにできて、内部に握り飯Ｍを封入した状態を保つことができる。尚、第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂを互いに開く場合には、係入片６ｑを直線状の切り込み６ｎから引き抜くことによって簡単に開くことができる。
【００１９】
また、図１５と図１６に示す別例では、図１５に示すように、第１成形部６ａの図にて上側の取っ手片６ｈに左右一対の凸部６ｓ、６ｓを突設するとともに、第２成形部６ｂの下側の取っ手片６ｈに左右一対の凹部６ｔ、６ｔを設けて、図１６に示すように、第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂとを折り重ねた状態で、一方の取っ手片６ｈの左右一対の凸部６ｓ、６ｓを他方の取っ手片６ｈの左右一対の凹部６ｔ、６ｔに圧入することによって、第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂが開かないようにできて、内部に握り飯Ｍを封入した状態を保つことができる。尚、第１成形部６ａと第２成形部６ｂを互いに開く場合には、左右一対の凸部６ｓ、６ｓを左右一対の凹部６ｔ、６ｔから強制的に引き抜くことによって簡単に開くことができる。
【００２０】

即ち、表面付近は締め固められる一方で内部は柔らかくふっくらして歯応えや舌触りが良好な握り飯を、握り飯を作った経験がない人でも容易に作ることができ、且つ殆ど自動的に作ることができて、握り飯の大量生産を行うことができる。

請求項３に記載の発明は、カバー体の適宜箇所に、握り飯を封入した握り飯製造用治具を上側押送部材と下側受送部材との間に供給するための投入口が設けられているので、握り飯を封入した握り飯製造用治具をこの投入口から投入するだけで、上側押送部材と下側受送部材との間で握り飯製造用治具を回転させて移送することができ、握り飯供給用治具内の握り飯を成形することができて、その作業を簡単化でき、且つ作業能率を高めることができる。
【００２２】

[Prior art]
Traditionally, nigiri rice was made by human hands. When grasping with a person's hand, if the person has experience of making a handful of rice, he can grasp the rice with a moderate compression speed and moderate compression force based on that experience, so the surface is hard and the inside Was able to make soft and plump fried rice. Such nigiri rice is delicious and has a good texture and texture and is excellent in texture. However, in the case of manufacturing by hand, there is a problem that it is not possible to make a handful of rice having excellent texture without a person having some experience. In addition, the production speed is not stable, and it is difficult to produce a large amount due to fatigue. Furthermore, since it is difficult to make the amount of rice per gripping rice constant, there is a problem that the quality such as size, weight, and hardness is not stable.
[0003]
Although it seems that attempts have been made to produce nigiri rice with a machine, this apparatus is designed to allow the rice to be introduced from the opening after the rice is put into a container having a predetermined shape with one side opened. Compression molding with a pressing plate. According to this conventional rice noodle manufacturing apparatus, the rice is not only compressed on the surface but also firmly in the center, and the rice is crushed not only in the vicinity of the surface but also in the center, resulting in a rice noodle that has a poor texture and feel. It was.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and even a person who has no experience of making a noodles can easily make a nigiri rice that is compacted near the surface but soft inside and soft to the touch and has a good texture. It is another object of the present invention to provide a handmade rice production apparatus that can be made almost automatically and can mass-produce handmade rice.
