Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a thickening device suitable for producing noodles such as udon.

Noodles are manufactured by mixing and kneading wheat flour and water in the first step, then rolling it thinly and cutting it into thinner pieces.

Therefore, the mixing of flour and water is done only by achieving a state of hydration between the flour and water, as was done in ancient times by massaging the flour and water, and does not involve strongly interfering with the flour and water. do not have.

Therefore, it is preferable that the kneading device for noodles should be one that kneads the dumpling-like dough formed by mixing flour and water, rather than one that uses an inbella to strongly knead the dough, as in the production of bread dough. Also, when pressing the dough, it is preferable to eliminate roughness on the surface to prevent roughness. The present invention has been made in view of these points, and will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes an exterior case for a noodle making machine having a hopper storage recess 2 on the top surface, and a motor 4 mounted on a mounting board 3 provided inside. and a hopper mounting base 5 are mounted, and the lower end of the peripheral wall 6 of the hopper storage recess 2 faces the periphery of the hopper mounting base. A bearing cylinder 7 is integrally mounted from the center of the hopper mounting base 5, and a rotary shaft 8 is inserted into the cylinder and a pulley 9 is attached to the lower end thereof, and a lower cannon of the motor 4 is attached. Pulley 1 with protruding shaft 10' attached
A belt 12 is hung between the belt 1 and the belt 1. Reference numeral 13 denotes a hopper which is removably housed in the hopper storage recess 2. A through hole 14 into which the rotating shaft 8 is inserted is bored in the bottom of the hopper, and a mounting leg 15 is attached with a rivet. The hopper 13 is fixed by engaging the lateral protruding engagement piece 16 of the pedestal leg with the inner flange 17 of the hopper mounting base 5.

Although not shown, the inner flange 17 has a notch at a suitable location, and when the hopper 13 is turned at a predetermined angle and pulled upward, the laterally protruding engagement piece 16 comes out of the notch and the hopper 13 is removed. It is now possible to do so. Reference numeral 18 denotes the lid of the hopper 13, which has a handle 19 in the center and has a concave groove 20 in the radial direction, and salt water is poured into the groove and gradually filled with a plurality of small holes 21 bored in the bottom. Salt water is dripped into the hopper 13. Reference numeral 22 denotes a rotating plate for mixing flour and salt water, and a boss 23 is provided in the center so that it can be detachably attached to the upper end of the rotating shaft 8. 24, 24
, 24 protrude, a pivot 25 is provided at the base end of one wing piece, and a kneading body 26 is rotatably iron-coupled to the pivot.

This kneading body 26 has a thick and hollow upper side and a thin cylindrical lower side, and this coin-shaped part is played around the pivot 25, and a retaining ring 27 is attached to the upper end of the pivot. A lid 28 is attached to the upper part of the post-kneading body 26 with an adhesive to close the hollow part. 29, 29 is rolling.

The roller, 30, 30G cutting row arm is connected to the upwardly protruding shaft 33 of the motor 4 via an intermediate gear 31 and a worm gear 32, and the rolling service entrance 34 formed on the upper surface of the outer case A shaped dough is introduced and rolled by the rolling rollers 29, 29, and the dough that is guided to the chute 35 and comes out from the side opening □36 is again introduced into the rolling input port 34, rolled several times, and then passed through the cutting service inlet. 37
The noodles are placed in a container and cut into long strips by cutting rolls 30, 30, so as to receive the noodles coming out from the side entrance 36. To make dumpling-like dough, put flour and flour into the hopper 13, put salt water into the groove 20 of the lid, and fill the small hole 21 at the bottom with salt water.
...The motor 4 is rotated while dripping salt water little by little into the hopper turtle 3.

The rotary plate 22 is rotated by the outside of the mold, and the flour and salt water are mixed to form a dumpling-like dough A. The dumpling-shaped dough grows like a snowball and slowly rotates along the inner circumferential surface of the hopper 13 at a speed slower than the rotational speed of the rotary plate 22. On the other hand, apart from the dumpling-like dough A, a large number of small grains B, which are a mixture of flour and salt water, are formed.
The dough rotates at the same speed as the ball, and it sticks to the dumpling-shaped dough A, eventually forming one large dumpling-like dough. At this time, if the gap between the wing pieces 24, 24 is set to an appropriate size, when the dumpling-like dough comes to the part of this gap, this dumpling-like dough will fall from the top of the wing piece 24 onto the bottom surface of the hopper 13, Piece of green 3
The small particles B, which are being pushed by the particles 8 and rotating on the bottom surface of the hopper 13, are likely to collide with each other. However, the wing pieces 24,2
If the distance between the hoppers 13 and 4 is too large, the time for the dumpling-shaped dough that has fallen on the bottom of the hopper 13 to be rubbed against this bottom will be longer, resulting in a rougher surface and making it difficult to form smooth noodles. When the flour and salt water are mixed by the rotating plate 22 to form a dumpling-like dough, the dough rotates at a slower speed than the rotating plate 22 while contacting the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 13 as described above. This dumpling-like dough is periodically crushed between the kneading body 26 rotating together with the kneading body 22 and the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 13.

The kneading body 26 is rotatable about a pivot shaft 25 provided on the rotary plate 22, so that it can rotate, and the kneading body 26 can rotate on its own axis.
When the dough is crushed, the kneading body 26 rotates on its own axis to eliminate roughness on the surface of the dumpling-like dough and prevent it from becoming rough. In addition, since the moat kneading body 26 is made thicker on the upper side and thinner on the lower side, the dumpling-like dough is pressed downward by this kneading body 26, improving the moat kneading effect. If there is too much slippage between the dough and the dough A, the dough A will get on top of the rotary plate 22 and rotate together with the rotary plate, and the mixer 26' will prevent it from being kneaded sufficiently. In some cases, this may not be possible, so the inner circumferential surface of the hopper 13 may be made polygonal to reduce slippage, as shown in FIG. The dumpling-like dough that has been thoroughly kneaded in the hopper 13 is cut into pieces of appropriate size and placed in the rolling input port 34, rolled several times, and then placed in the cutting port 37 to be cut into thin strips and made into noodles. As described above, in the present invention, flour and water are mixed using the rotary plate 22 provided at the bottom of the hopper 13 to first form a dumpling-like dough, and the dumpling-like dough is transferred to the rotary plate 22 provided on the bottom of the hopper 13. The crosstalk body 26 installed in an eccentric position and the hopper 1
Since the mixture is pressed and kneaded between the inner circumferential surface of No. 3,
Unlike Azusa, it is possible to provide delicious noodles that are similar to those that are rubbed by hand or foot. In addition, since the mixed wire body is provided so as to be rotatable, when the dough is pressed against the inner circumferential surface of the hopper and crushed, the muddy body rotates on its own axis, eliminating the scratches on the surface and preventing roughness.
