Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a gluten generating device that optimizes the degree of gluten generation.

<Prior art> In general, in the process of manufacturing noodles by machine, the very first step is to add the ingredients flour and water, as well as some salt, and knead them. It requires a step to generate gluten before being transferred to.

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, a commonly used gluten generating device has a rotating body c provided with a spiral groove b below a hopper a, and a rotating body c surrounded by a spiral groove b. , a cylindrical body d communicating with the hopper a was disposed, and a discharge port e was provided at the end of the cylindrical body d. Then, the kneaded material was put into the hopper a, guided to the rotating body c, and rotated, thereby generating gluten in the process. According to this method, the kneaded material was rotated. There is a problem in that the gluten that has been produced is actually destroyed because it exists in the body part c for a long time. As is already known, gluten has a network-like structure, but once gluten has developed,
Furthermore, if stimulation such as excessive kneading is applied to the part of the rotating body c, the network structure will be cut, and eventually the gluten will be destroyed, and as a result, the kneaded material itself will lose its "stickiness". It had been put away.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Therefore, the present invention provides a rotating body with a spiral groove provided below the hopper, and a cylindrical body communicating with the hopper around the rotating body. and drilling a hole in a part of the cylindrical body at a portion where the rotating body has rotated about three-quarters from the lower end of the hopper,
The process from putting the kneaded material into the hopper to introducing the kneaded material to the rotating body is the same as the conventional example, but the stimulation applied in the rotating body is applied for about three-quarters of a rotation of the rotating body, and the kneaded material is rotated. This was developed for the purpose of providing a gluten generating device that discharges the gluten through the hole when the body rotates about three-quarters of the way.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Next, an example of the gluten generating device according to the present invention will be described based on FIGS. It is a rotating body. This rotating body 2 has a spiral groove 3 and is configured to be rotated in one direction by a motor (not shown). 4 is a cylindrical body disposed around this rotating body 2;
is configured to communicate with the hopper 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a hole bored in this cylinder 4 at a position where the rotating body 2 has turned about three-quarters of a turn from the lower end of the hopper 1, and is bored as a long hole in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder 4. .

<Function> Then, the kneaded material, that is, the noodle dough, is introduced into the hopper 1. Then, this kneaded material is guided from the lower end of the hopper 1 to the cylindrical body 4, but at that time, it comes into contact with the rotating body 2.
It moves along the rotation of the rotating body 2 by being guided by the groove 3 of the rotating body 2. In the process of movement, the kneaded material is stimulated by being rubbed or kneaded. Then, when the rotating body 2 rotates about three quarters, the kneaded material is transferred to the cylindrical body 4.
is discharged from the hole 5. The grooves 3 are actually continuous in the rotating body 2, but when observed when the rotating body 2 is stationary, they are formed adjacent to each other on the surface of the rotating body 2 in an uneven shape. The kneaded material from the hopper 1 rides on each groove 3 of the rotating body 2, and due to the rotation of this rotating body 2, it is eventually discharged from the hole 5.
The kneaded material inside is simultaneously cut and discharged at the time of about three-quarters of a rotation, and never moves to the adjacent continuous groove 3.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the gluten generating device of the present invention, the kneaded material is stimulated by kneading, kneading, etc. by the rotating body, so that gluten can be generated. Since the stimulation is released when the cylinder rotates about three-quarters of the way, the kneaded material discharged from the cylinder does not cause excessive stimulation and therefore does not destroy the generated gluten. Since the noodle is molded into the same shape at regular intervals and discharged, it has the advantage of being able to be set in fixed quantities in the next step, the noodle making machine.
