Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an apparatus for producing bonito flakes, etc., which uses a shaving machine to shave bonito bonito flakes, and compresses and cuts the shaved bonito flakes into a predetermined amount that can be packaged. It is related to.

Traditionally, bonito flakes have been used along with shiitake mushrooms, kelp, etc. as a stock ingredient since ancient times, and are valued as a natural flavor and natural seasoning.In ordinary households, bonito flakes were shaved to obtain the necessary amount of shaved bonito flakes for use. However, bonito flakes were originally eaten as a seasoning or food additive, and the amount used each time is small, and it is troublesome to shave them off before each meal. Due to the condition of the blade of the utensil, it is difficult to cut the bonito flakes to a certain thickness, and sometimes the bonito flakes break down into clumps, and when you eat them, you feel a foreign body with a bad texture. It was difficult to taste the shaved bonito flakes.

Therefore, in recent years, bonito flakes have been shaved to produce so-called flower bonito flakes, which are produced commercially and stored in designated containers. However, in this case, the thickness of the kerifushi is constant, but
Because the shape is irregular, the specific volume changes, and there is no angle of repose, it is difficult to package small quantities of dried bonito flakes, for example, packages corresponding to one consumption amount, and it is inevitable to package them in large quantities. and
It was impossible to mechanize the weighing and filling of dried bonito flakes.

Therefore, the packaging of the shaved bonito flakes must be done manually, which means that the bonito flakes are exposed to the outside air for a long time, which can lead to oxidation, the growth of mold and pests, and the loss of flavor. However, it was unfavorable from a food hygiene perspective.

Furthermore, in the cutter blade fixing device of the manufacturing equipment for cutting a large amount of the above-mentioned shavings, as shown in FIGS.
It is mounted on a pedestal 4 via a bearing 3, and a drive pulley 5 is rotated by a predetermined drive device, and the bonito flakes 6 are
The structure is such that the cutter blades are cut from the raw material, and the cutter blade 1 is simply fixed to the blade seat 2a of the rotating disk 2 with a fixing bolt 7, so it is difficult to adjust the cutting edge of the cutter blade 1, and it is difficult to always obtain the cutter blades with a constant thickness. Not only is it impossible to do this, but the cutter blade 1 returns while cutting the hard bonito flakes 6, making it impossible to cut them.

This invention was made in order to improve all the above-mentioned drawbacks, and in particular, in a shaving machine that shaves a large amount of bonito flakes to a predetermined thickness, the shaved bonito flakes can be packaged into a predetermined shape. The present invention provides an apparatus for manufacturing bonito flakes, etc., which is configured to compress and cut bonito flakes.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The attached figure shows an apparatus for manufacturing dried bonito flakes according to the present invention, in which a rotary disk 12 fixed to the cutter blade 11 for cutting dried bonito flakes 10 so as to be able to adjust the advance and retreat of the cutting edge is attached to a drive shaft 1.
3, the drive shaft 13 is supported by a bearing 14, and the drive pulley 1 at the end of the shaft
Rotational power is transmitted from a pulley 18 of an electric motor 17 installed on a frame 16. Further, rotational force is transmitted from the pulley 18 of the electric motor 17 to the drive pulley 19, and the drive shaft 20
It is configured to drive a compression and cutting device 21 fixed to the.

The cutter blade 11 is located on the back side of a plurality of opening grooves 12a formed concentrically on the circumference of the rotary disk 12, and is attached to the blade mounting seat 12b by a fixing bolt 22, an adjusting nut 23, and an adjusting bolt 24.
1a is fixed so that it can be adjusted forward and backward from the surface of the opening groove 12a.

Moreover, above the rotating disk 12, bonito flakes 1
A cooling fan 2 is installed on the back side corresponding to the input port 25 of 0.
6 is installed to suppress the heat generated during bonito cutting, prevent the cutter blade 11 from being annealed due to the heat, and enable long-time operation.

Further, the compression/cutting device 21 includes a rotary disk 1
2, and a compression roller 28 and a cutting cutter 29 are arranged in parallel above a conveyance device 27 such as a belt conveyor.

The compression roller 28 is installed so as to compress and finely chop the shavings cut by the cutter blade 11, which are accumulated on the upper surface of the conveyance device 27 and transferred. Further, the cutting cutter 29 is
It is installed behind the compression roll 28, and cuts the shaved knots that are transferred to a predetermined thickness by the compression roller 28 into a predetermined shape and size. It cuts by moving up and down using a cam roller 30 and an arm 31.

The conveying device 27, such as a belt conveyor of the compression/cutting device 21, is bypassed below the cutting cutter 29 via idlers 32, 33, and the lower surface of the cutting cutter 29 has a cutting plate shaped like a cutting board. A plate 34 is attached.

Therefore, in order to compress and cut the shavings with the compression/cutting device 21 configured as described above, the conveying device 2
The bonito flakes that have fallen onto the bonito flakes are compressed to a predetermined thickness by a compression roller 28, and then cut into a predetermined shape and size by a cutting cutter 29, which increases the stiffness of the bonito flakes. It is possible to make the size and shape of the kerifobushi uniform.

In other words, the cutters are cut to a predetermined thickness using a cutter, and compressed and cut into a uniform shape using a compression/cutting device, making it possible to mechanize weighing and filling, which eliminates the need for a lot of manual labor, speeds up production, and allows for mass production. Not only is it possible to compress and cut the bonito flakes immediately after shaving, the time that the bonito flakes are exposed to the outside air during the work process is significantly shortened, preventing the scattering of aromas and oxidation. It has become possible to retain the flavor for a long time.

As a result, it is possible to easily measure and package a small amount for one time consumption, without impairing the flavor, and there is no need for food hygiene requirements, all of the drawbacks of the conventional products have been solved.

In addition, the shaved bonito flakes finely chopped into uniform shapes and sizes by the above-mentioned compression/cutting device have a good flavor and a very good texture when eaten.
