Technical Field

In the present invention, a plurality of such noodle-quality food products of instant noodles have the conveyors around the functional food products aligned by the conveyors in the conveying step.

Background

Instant noodles can be stored at room temperature for a long period of time, and steaming provides an excellent, easy-to-process and inexpensive food product. In particular, instant noodles in containers are frequently used in various occasions because only boiled water is required to be poured into the containers for eating.

Generally, the convenience noodles in the cup-shaped container have a flat and dense noodle upper surface and a sparse lower portion. Therefore, after producing the noodle pieces by the fly drying process, a method of conveying the noodle pieces by a conveyor having a flat upper surface is widely used.

Disclosure of Invention

After the flying dry process, the prepared noodles are arranged in horizontal rows by a conveyor and conveyed to a downstream process, but if the noodle pieces are not arranged in horizontal rows in a downstream cooling process, the cooling conveyor noodle mass transfer rod rotates from above at a starting point to descend and guide the noodle pieces not to contact the noodle pieces at an appropriate position. For example, the lower portion of the noodle mass transfer lever that bites the noodle mass faces upward. There is a problem that the quality of the noodles is broken.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have intensively studied a method of arranging a plurality of noodle pieces in a row in the width direction of a conveyor, and as a result, the noodle pieces are conveyed by a circular belt conveyor and conveyed from between the circular belts during the conveyance. A method of aligning a plurality of noodle pieces in the width direction of a conveyor in a short time by protruding a stopper and temporarily stopping the conveyance of each noodle piece was found, and the present invention was completed.

That is, in the present first invention, a plurality of food products and a plurality of belts for conveying and placing, protruding from between the belts, the food products include: a stop on the food product transport apparatus in contact with the aligned food product transport device.

In a second invention, the stop is, according to the first invention, characterized in that it is a food product made of a plate-like metal part with respect to the conveying means.

In the third invention, the stopper comprises a flat surface portion having a curved side and a back surface, and one curved side, a pair of stoppers, each food product contact temporary conveyance stops, according to the first or second invention, characterized by a conveyor around the food product.

In the fourth invention, the food product is noodle quality of instant noodles, and any of the food products of the present invention according to the first to third inventions concerns the conveying device.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of a transport apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.

Fig. 1, a conceptual view of a transporting apparatus of a food product of the present invention, fig. 2 is a plan view in a state where a noodle mass is temporarily stopped by a noodle mass stopper, and fig. 3, transportation. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a mode of temporarily stopping the quality stop of the noodle strings by the noodle string block stopper.

The invention relates to a food product conveying device, which is mainly a noodle mass 3 conveyed by a circular belt conveyor 2 and further comprises a stop mechanism 1.

The circular belt conveyor 2 is composed of a plurality of circular belts 20 as shown in fig. 3, and is driven by a drive motor (not shown). The plurality of noodles 3 placed on the circular belt 20 are arranged in a horizontal row and conveyed downstream, but the noodle pieces are displaced during the conveyance, and the plurality of noodles are arranged in a horizontal row. May not be queued.

In the downstream cooling process, at the starting point of the cooling conveyor (not shown), the noodle mass transfer lever which descends while rotating from above and guiding the noodle pieces transferred by the cooling conveyor does not come into contact with each noodle piece at an appropriate position, and there is a case where breakage occurs due to the lower portions of the noodle pieces being bitten upward.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the noodle block stopper 10 lifts the plurality of circular bands 20 and the pair of noodles by a certain length from the cylinder 13 (ST: stroke in FIG. 1). One noodle mass transferred by the mass block 10 is temporarily stopped.

The interval between the pair of stoppers is set to 40% to 60% with respect to the diameter of the noodles so as to stably stop the conveyance of the noodles, and the height of the stoppers with respect to the noodles is started from the bottom. It is desirable that the noodle mass is in the range of 30% to 80% in contact. In addition, the contact time with the noodle mass is preferably about 0.5 to 1 second. The stroke length in fig. 1 is determined by the height of the noodles and the contact position.

The circular band 20 is preferably a flexible resin circular band, and for example, a circular band having a diameter of 10mm may be used.

Top means

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the stop mechanism of the present invention. The stopper mechanism 1 includes a plurality of surface block stoppers 10, a beam member 11 on which the surface block stoppers are arranged, a column 12 supporting the beam member 11, and a cylinder 13 capable of moving the beam member 11 up and down. This is done.

At the time of conveying the noodle mass, the beam member 11 is raised by the air cylinder 13, and each noodle mass temporarily stopped from being conveyed by the pair of noodle mass stoppers as shown in fig. 3. This makes it possible to arrange a plurality of noodle strips in horizontal rows with quality reliably.

After the plurality of noodle pieces are arranged in the horizontal row, the beam member 11 is lowered by the air cylinder 13, and the plurality of noodle pieces arranged in the horizontal row are conveyed downstream by the circular belt conveyor 2 again.

Plug shape-

Fig. 5 is a side view and a perspective view of a panel stopper 10 of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the noodle block stopper 10 is constituted by a plate-like member having a thumb shape. Therefore, the quality of the noodles on the circular band 20 is stopped.

The noodle pieces stored in the cup container are generally tapered, but when the stopper is formed of a simple round bar, for example, the edge portion (bottom end) 30 of the noodle pieces contacts the stopper, which causes a problem that the edge portion of the chip is missing. Since the noodle block stopper 10 according to the present invention has the "thumb shape" as described above, the noodle block stopper 10 does not contact the edge portion 30 of the noodle block and contacts the side surface of the noodle block, which is less likely to be broken than the edge portion. It becomes possible. As the material of the noodle block plug 10, for example, stainless steel is desirably used.

In addition, when increasing the number of noodle stoppers 10 mounted on the beam member 11, it is desirable to provide a plurality of holes in each stopper, as shown in fig. 5, to reduce the load.

Therefore, the noodle block plug 10 according to the present invention has a flat surface and a rear surface, and the upper side surface of the plug has a shape curved in the vertical direction so that it does not contact with the edge portion of the noodle block. Can be contacted with the side of the noodle which is not easy to be damaged. Therefore, a decrease in productivity due to deterioration of the quality of noodles in machine production can be avoided.

In addition, in the aspect of the above embodiment, although the case where one dough piece, a food product having a certain shape, is used as compared with any other food product of the dough piece, the present invention is also applicable, particularly, to a food product having an ease of damage against impact.
