The hand-made noodle making method is known. According to such a hand-made noodle making method, since the gluten in the noodle dough spreads uniformly in a mesh shape, it is possible to obtain noodles rich in elasticity and tenacity, but it is difficult to perform a large amount of noodle making work. Therefore, as a device for mechanically making noodles, a pair of large-diameter rollers are provided, and the noodle dough is supplied between the pair of rollers,
It is known that a noodle dough is passed between a pair of large-diameter rollers and rolled.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, when the noodle dough is stretched with a large force by a set of large-diameter rollers, the noodle dough tightens, but the finished noodle becomes hard when boiled and has elasticity like noodle dough rolled with a hand-made rolling pin. It lacks flavor because it lacks a rich chewy texture and a distinctive waist.

[Object of the Invention]

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems of such a conventional noodle making apparatus, and provides a noodle making machine for producing noodles that are elastic and elastic like noodle dough rolled by a hand-made rolling pin. The purpose is to do.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve the above problems, a noodle making machine according to the present invention is based on a noodle dough hardness measuring device that measures the hardness of the noodle dough, and the hardness of the noodle dough measured by the noodle dough hardness measuring device. A first rolling means for flatly rolling the noodle dough, a noodle dough direction changing means for changing the direction of the rolled noodle dough around a vertical axis, and a dusting device for spreading the dough on the surface of the rolled noodle dough. A sprinkling means, a noodle dough inverting means for inverting the noodle dough sprinkled with dusting to the front and back, a second rolling means for rolling the inverted noodle dough in a direction intersecting with the first rolling means, and a second A second dusting and spraying means for spraying dusting powder onto the noodle dough rolled by the rolling means, and a noodle band cutter for cutting the noodle dough from the second dusting and spraying means into noodle strings. To do.

[Action]

According to the noodle making machine of the present invention, after the hardness of the noodle dough is measured by the noodle dough hardness measuring device, the first value is determined based on the hardness of the noodle dough measured by the noodle dough hardness measuring device. Since the noodle dough is flatly rolled by the rolling means, the rolling force of the noodle dough does not become too large or too small. In addition, the noodle dough rolled by the noodle dough direction changing means changes its direction around the vertical axis and the dusting means sprays the dough on the noodle dough, and the noodle dough inverting means flips the noodle dough upside down. When the noodle dough inverted by the second rolling means is rolled in a direction intersecting with the first rolling means, the noodle dough is rolled in a plurality of different directions, and the noodle dough containing knitted gluten is evenly spread in all directions. It expands with a certain thickness. Therefore, when the noodle dough is finely cut by the noodle band cutter after the dough is spread on the noodle dough from the second dusting device, the noodle strings uniformly containing gluten are formed, and the hand-made noodle-like noodles rich in elasticity and viscosity are formed. Is completed.

And a motor 550 and a noodle dough pressing arm 560. The rubber roller 510 is slightly separated from the rear end of the belt conveyor 40, is slightly lower than the upper surface of the endless belt 43, and is rotatably provided on the frame 10. The cutter arm 530 is pivotally supported by the rotation center 531 fixed to the frame 10, and swings so that the cutter blade 520 coincides with the locus passing through the rotation center of the rubber roller 510. When the cutter blade 520 contacts the rubber roller 510, the noodle dough 1 is cut. A lower end of a crank rod 540 eccentrically attached to a motor 550 is rotatably connected to the cutter arm 530. Like the cutter arm 530, the noodle dough pressing arm 560 can swing around a fulcrum 561. Two rollers 562 and 563 are provided at the tip of the noodle dough pressing arm 560. The roller 562 is pressed against the roller 42 by the weight of the noodle dough pressing arm 560, and the roller 563 is the noodle dough pressing arm 56.
The rubber roller 510 is abutted and urged by its own weight of zero. The roller 42 and the rubber roller 510 rotate by receiving the driving force of the lower motor 44 of the frame 10 via the chain. A discharge guide plate 12 is provided behind the rubber roller 510. Next, the operation of the noodle dough rolling mechanism of the noodle making machine according to this embodiment will be described. First, the block-shaped noodle dough 1 is processed into a noodle dough hardness measuring device 10
When the noodle dough 1 is placed on the belt 111 of 0, the belt 111 is driven and the noodle dough 1 is carried by the belt conveyor 110 below the pressing means 120. The fact that the noodle dough 1 is located directly below the pressing means 120 is detected by a detector such as a photoelectric tube, and the belt conveyor 110 is stopped by a stop command from the detector.
A predetermined pressing pressure P1 is applied to the air cylinder 121 for a certain period of time. As a result, the pressing pad 123 of the rod 122 presses the noodle dough 1 and the surface of the noodle dough 1 becomes smooth. Next, a predetermined pressing pressure P2, which is larger than the pressing pressure P1 previously applied, is applied to the air cylinder 121, and the pressing pad 123 is pushed into the noodle dough 1. When the pressing pad 123 is pushed down, the rod 122 is lowered, whereby the rack gear of the rod 122 is moved. 1
24 rotates the pinion gear 134. Since the rotation of the pinion gear 134 rotates the shaft of the encoder body 131, the number of rotations corresponding to the pushing amount in the encoder body 131 is counted. This count output value is used as index data for the hardness of the noodle dough 1. This index data is information for setting the pressing force of the noodle dough rolling mechanism 200. After the index data is collected, drawing pressure P3 is applied to the air cylinder 121 to raise the pressing pad 123, move the belt 111 of the belt conveyor 110, and rolls 21 and 22 of the stretching roller 20 and motors 214 and 224.
To rotate. Noodle dough 1 from the noodle dough hardness measuring device 100
After feeding the noodle dough between the rollers 21 and 22, the noodle dough hardness measuring apparatus 100 waits for the next noodle dough 1. The noodle dough 1 is stretched to have a uniform thickness as a whole by passing between the rollers 21 and 22. In FIG. 2, the motor 214 rotates the chain 215 clockwise to rotate the roller 213, and the motor 224 rotates the chain 225 clockwise to rotate the roller 222 clockwise. The noodle dough 1 stretched to a uniform thickness by the rollers 21 and 22 is placed on the endless belts 211 and 221 that rotate right by the right rotation of the rollers 213 and 222. The endless belts 211 and 221 move the noodle dough 1 onto the transfer plate 226 at the center of the noodle dough rolling mechanism 200. A detector (not shown) is provided near the transfer plate 226.
This detector detects that the noodle dough 1 has reached the delivery plate 226, temporarily stops the rotation of the motors 214 and 224, rotates the motor 258, and further extends the air cylinder 240. Due to the extension of the air cylinder 240, the rolling roller circulation mechanism 250 descends toward the noodle dough 1. In this case, the pressing force of the air cylinder 240 is set so as to roll the noodle dough 1 in accordance with the hardness data of the noodle dough 1 obtained by the noodle dough hardness measuring device 100. By the lowering of the air cylinder 240, the rollers 251 near the connecting portions of the rolling roller circulation mechanisms 250, 250 come into contact with the noodle dough 1. When the roller 251 comes into contact with the noodle dough 1 due to the lowering of the air cylinder 240, the endless belt 211 for mounting the noodle dough 1
The endless belt 211 is rotated counterclockwise so that the upper surface of the endless belt 221 moves from the transfer plate 226 toward the rollers 21 and 22, and the upper surface of the endless belt 221 on which the noodle dough 1 is mounted changes the direction of the noodle dough from the transfer plate 226. Mechanism 30
The endless belt 221 is rotated clockwise so as to move to zero. When the rotation of the endless belts 211 and 221 is started, as shown in FIG.
In FIG. 3, the motor 258 is rotated counterclockwise. Motor 25
When 8 rotates counterclockwise, the right sprocket 254 rotates counterclockwise through the chain 257. Right sprocket 25
By the left rotation of 4, the right chain 252 rotates left. The rolling roller 251 held by the right chain 252, ... by the left rotation of the right chain 252 is rolling while being in contact with the noodle dough 1,
The noodle dough direction changing mechanism 300 moves from 26 toward the armpit. The gear 256 is fixed to the sprocket 254, and the gear 2
Since 56 meshes with the left gear 256 of the pair of gears 256 and 256 shown in FIG. 3, the right gear 25
When 6 rotates left, the left gear 256 rotates right. The left gear 256 has a left sprocket 254
Is coaxially fixed, so the left sprocket 254
When the chain 254 is rotated clockwise, the chain 254 on the left side is rotated clockwise.
By rotating the left side chain 254 rightward, the rolling rollers 251 held by the left side chain 254 are the noodle dough 1
It moves toward the rollers 20 and 21 side in a state of being in contact with. That is, if one roller 251 is taken, it will rotate while revolving. Since the gear 256 coaxial with the sprocket 254 is rotated in the same direction (counterclockwise rotation), the group of rollers 251 of the other roller assembly structure 230 moves leftward on the side facing the endless belt 211. In short, roller 25
1 is a revolution that moves downward from the position where both rolling roller circulation mechanisms 250, 250 come into contact with each other, and is further divided so that it rotates in contact with the noodle dough 1. , Rotate left rotation on the left side. Roller 251
Is supported by the projecting end of the piece 253, and therefore passes on the outer peripheral side of the chain 254 that meshes with the sprocket 254. Therefore, the rolling roller circulation mechanism 25
At both ends of 0, the distance between adjacent rollers 251 is increased. The loci of the two rolling rollers 251 intersect at the points where the two rolling roller circulation mechanisms 250 contact each other.
The distance between the two rolling roller circulation mechanisms 250, 250 is short. Further, the roller 251 is in the horizontal direction, that is, the endless belt 21.
Considering the moving speed in the direction along the planes 1 and 221, the moving speed of the rolling roller 251 tends to increase while it descends in a curve from the height of the rotation center of the sprocket 254 to the horizontal position. Then, at the horizontal position, the speed is the same as the moving speed of the chain 254. This is because when the noodle dough 1 is gradually thinned by rolling, the stretching speed (spreading speed) at the thinned portion is higher than the original speed at the thick portion. The going noodle dough 1 is stretched to both sides without dripping between the other rolls 251. This corresponds to the state of rolling with a rolling pin. When rolling the noodle dough 1, the forces for pulling the noodle dough 1 in both directions are balanced, so that the noodle dough 1 does not shift to one side. However, the rolling roller circulation mechanism 25
Since a space is formed below the connecting portion of 0 and 250 and the transfer plate 226, a high portion of the noodle dough 1 remains in this space. Therefore, when the rolling roller circulation mechanisms 250, 250 have rotated a predetermined number of times, the belts 211, 221 are appropriately stopped from rotating and the motors 214, 224 are reversed to perform rolling again. By repeating this a predetermined number of times, the noodle dough 1 becomes flat without leaving a high portion in part. The cylinder 240 determines whether the noodle dough 1 has been rolled.
It is detected by the fluctuation of the pressing force of. After the noodle dough 1 is rolled, the endless belt 221 is rotated to the right to send the noodle dough 1 to the noodle dough direction changing mechanism 300. When the noodle dough 1 is fed to the downward direction of the noodle dough direction changing mechanism 300 by the rotation of the belt 221, and the fact that the noodle dough 1 is located under the noodle dough direction changing mechanism 300 is detected by a detector (not shown), the belt 221 The rotation is stopped and the air cylinder 304 is operated. by this,
The piston rod 305 extends, the pressing plate 306 descends, and the protrusion 307 on the lower surface of the pressing plate 306 is pressed into the noodle dough 1. Motor box 301 in this state
When the motor is driven to rotate the shaft 302, the rotary table 303 and the pressing plate 306 rotate while pressing the noodle dough 1. The rotation of the rotary base 303 by 90 degrees is detected by a limit switch (not shown), and the motor is stopped by the detection signal of the limit switch. Noodle dough 1 has 9 steps
It is the direction rotated by 0 degrees. When the noodle dough 1 is rotated 90 degrees by the rotation of the turntable 303, air is sucked from the air cylinder 304 to shrink the piston rod 305, raise the pressing plate 306, and move the motor box 30.
Rotate the motor of No. 1 90 degrees to stop, and then the next noodle dough 1
Waits for you to be delivered. Noodle dough 1 rotated 90 degrees
Is conveyed below the dusting device 400 by the rotation of the endless belt 221. The dusting device 400 drives the chain 405 by the geared motor 402 in accordance with the rotation of the endless belt 221 after the noodle dough direction changing mechanism 300 has changed the direction of the noodle dough 1. By rotating the chain 405, the wire brush 4
04 rotates, and the cornstarch is sprinkled on the noodle dough 1 from the mesh of the opening 403. The surface of the noodle dough 1 sprinkled with cornstarch is flattened by a stretching roll 20 in a post-process of the upper stage, and the reversal plate 11
The cornstarch is inverted so that the surface on which the cornstarch is sprayed is on the lower side, and is fed onto the belt conveyor 30. The noodle dough 1 inverted on the belt conveyor 30 is conveyed to the middle dough rolling mechanism 200, and is forged and stretched similarly to the upper stage. The noodle dough 1 sent to the middle tier is 90 at the upper tier.
This noodle dough rolling mechanism 200 has been turned around.
The stretching direction in the direction of 90 ° is also changed by 90 degrees with respect to the rolling direction of the upper stage. This corresponds to a process in which a person uses a rolling pin to spread the noodle dough 1 in all directions from the center, and the gluten structure of the noodle dough 1 is developed in a uniform state. The noodle dough 1 sent out from the noodle dough rolling mechanism 200 is sprinkled on the surface on which the cornstarch has not been sprinkled yet in the dusting device 400 in the middle stage. After that, the noodle dough 1 is made to have a uniform thickness and a flat surface by a stretching roll 20 provided in a post-process in the middle stage, further inverted by a reversing plate 11, and transferred onto the belt conveyor 40 in the lower stage. . When the noodle dough 1 is placed on the belt conveyor 40, the motor 44 rotates and the endless belt 43 rotates. When the noodle dough 1 comes under the dusting device 400 by the rotation of the endless belt 43, the noodle dough 1 is detected by a detector (not shown), the lower dusting device 400 is driven, and the cornstarch is sprayed on the noodle dough 1. To be done. When the cornstarch is spread on the noodle dough 1, the noodle dough 1 is sent to the noodle strip cutter 500 at the rear end of the belt conveyor 40. In the noodle strip cutter 500, the noodle dough 1 is sent between the endless belt 43 and the roller 562 by the roller 42 that rotates in synchronization with the belt 43 of the belt conveyor 40. Presser part 5
Since 64 moves up and down by the swing of the arm 560, when the noodle dough 1 is sent between the endless belt 43 and the roller 562, the pressing portion 564 rises due to the thickness of the noodle dough 1. When the pressing portion 564 moves up, the motor 550 rotates to move the crank rod 540 up and down. Crank rod 54
Since the lower end portion of 0 holds the cutter arm 530 rotatably, the cutter arm 530 rotates about the rotation center 531 by the vertical movement of the crank rod 540.
The cutter blade 520 of the cutter arm 530 is the roller 4
Since it is in contact with 2, the noodle dough 1 is cut by the vertical movement of the cutter arm 530. The thickness of noodle dough 1 is roller 4
2 feed amount (length) per unit time and cutter blade 520
Is determined by the number of vertical movements (number of times of cutting) per unit time, the thickness of the noodle dough 1 can be adjusted by controlling the number of rotations of the motor 550 and the number of rotations of the motor 44. Discharge guide plate 1 for cut noodles
2 are lowered to be aligned in a predetermined box or received by another noodle strip aligning device.
