EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples. FIG. 1 is a side view of an automatic boiled egg breaking device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the device according to the present invention. It is a figure. 1 to 3, the inner rod material drum A is connected by a large number of rod members 2a and 2b arranged in a circumferential direction at portions near the outer peripheral edges of two ring plates 1 at a predetermined interval. It was done. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bar 2a
Are located on the same circumference, but the bar 2b is slightly inside the bar 2a. The outer rod material drum B connects the outer peripheral portions of two ring plates 3 having a larger diameter than the ring plate 1 with a large number of rod members 4, and the inner rod members are connected to the plurality of rod members 4. A pair of partition rings 5 having a width narrower than that of the drum A is attached. The multiple rods 4 are arranged in a radial direction as a set of three rods 4 and are arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, the inner rod material drum A
Is fixed to the drive shaft 7 via a fixture 6. The outer rod material drum B is concentrically arranged on the outer side of the inner rod material drum A, and is rotatably supported by the drive shaft 7 via a bearing 8 mounted on the outer side of the ring plate 3. There is. Therefore, when the drive shaft 7 rotates, the inner rod material drum A rotates together with it, but the outer rod material drum B does not rotate. Both ends of the drive shaft 7 are supported by a pair of bearings 9, and a drive chain gear 11 is attached to one end thereof. A drive chain gear 12 is integrally attached to the outside of one ring plate 3 of the outer rod material drum B. In this way, when the inner and outer bar drums A and B are attached to the drive shaft 7, the bar rods 2a and 2b forming the inner bar drum A and the outer bar drum B are formed. A large number of boiled egg accommodating chambers 13 are formed in the outer peripheral portion of the outer rod material drum B along the circumferential direction thereof by the rod material 4 and the pair of partitioning rings 5. In addition, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 14 denotes a collar for determining a fixing position of the outer rod drum B with respect to the axial direction of the drive shaft 7.

Therefore, the driving force is transmitted from the chain gear 11 to rotate the inner rod material drum A in the direction of the arrow P, and at the same time, the driving force is transmitted from the chain gear portion 12 to move the outer rod material drum B. The boiled egg E is split by rotating it in the direction of arrow Q, which is opposite to the direction of rotation of the inner rod material drum A.
The rotation speed of the inner bar drum A is much higher than that of the outer bar drum B.

As shown in FIG. 2, a pouring guide 15 for the boiled egg E is arranged at a position higher than the axial center of each of the bar drums A and B arranged concentrically.
A discharge guide 16 for the boiled egg E that has been split into pieces is arranged at a position where the phase is shifted by approximately 180 ° from the position where 5 is arranged. A pair of peeling rolls 17 are arranged diagonally below the discharge end of the discharge guide 16 with their axes being horizontal. Further, a shower device S for showering a water shower to the boiled egg E that is being split is arranged directly above the bar drums A and B arranged concentrically. The shower device S is provided over the entire length of the boiled egg storage chamber 13.

As described above, in a state where the inner rod material drum A and the outer rod material drum B are rotating in opposite directions to each other with a predetermined rotational speed difference, a large number of boiled eggs E are fed from the portion of the feeding guide 15. Both rod drums A in a row
When the egg is stored in the boiled egg storage chamber 13 formed by B, the inner rod drum A rotates in the direction opposite to the outer rod drum B, and at a speed faster than this.
A large number of boiled eggs E stored in a line in the storage chamber 13 are actively moved and collide with the rods 2a, 2b, 4 constituting the rod drums A, B, respectively. By this action,
The boiled egg E stored in the boiled egg storage chamber 13 of the outer rod material drum B is cracked while being slowly moved along the circumferential direction by the rotation of the rod material drum B. In particular, in the above-described embodiment, since the bar 2b forming the inner bar drum A is located inside the bar 2a, the boiled eggs E housed in the housing chamber 13 are irregular. It is easily moved to and cracked. At the same time, since the water shower is jetted from the shower device S arranged directly above each of the rod drums A and B, and the cracked boiled egg E is being showered, the water passes through the cracked gap from. Then, water gets in between the egg white and the thin skin. Therefore, the movement of the boiled egg E in the storage chamber 13 is smoothly performed, and damage to the egg white is prevented. Also,
In the case of breaking the body of the hard-boiled egg E as described above, part of the body is peeled off, but it is peeled off by the action of the water shower, thus constituting the bar drums A and B. It is dropped through the space between the rods 2a, 2b and 4. Then, the boiled egg E that has reached the discharge guide 16 naturally escapes from the storage chamber 13 by the action of gravity and falls between the pair of peeling rolls 17 disposed obliquely below the discharge end thereof, so that the inside of each other is removed. By the pair of peeling rolls 17 rotating toward one side, the thin skin is peeled off because of the crack.

In the above embodiment, the inner rod drum A and the outer rod drum B are configured to rotate in opposite directions, but both rod drums A and B are rotated in the same direction. Good. However, the rotation speed of the inner rod material drum A is
It is necessary to make it larger than that of the outer bar drum B.
