Background Technology

[0005] Generally, the cylindrical rice cakes used when making rice cake soup or tteokbokki during holidays are made by grinding rice into rice flour, placing this rice flour into a mold, cooking it sufficiently, and then pushing it into an extruder, where they come out through a round extrusion structure formed at the outlet of the extruder and are shaped into a round form.

[0006] According to the conventional method, the rice cakes produced by this process are passed through water to prevent the multiple strands of rice cake coming out of the extruder from sticking together, and the rice cakes continuously discharged from the extruder are cut into uniform sizes and transferred to the next process.

[0007] The conventional process of making rice cakes like this was unhygienic because it required a lot of human contact, and there was a problem of increased production costs due to the need for a considerable amount of manpower.

[0008] Accordingly, recently, rice cake manufacturing devices are being proposed that enable hygienic and economic benefits by manufacturing rice cakes using mechanical power.

[0035] That is, it is suitable for processing the 'rice cake noodles' in the shape of 'noodles' consisting of multiple 'strands' through a first steaming process, and then processing the rice cake noodles into a desired shape through a subsequent molding process.

[0037] The rice cake noodle manufacturing device (1) according to this embodiment comprises: a steaming body (2) having a transfer steaming space (A) formed with a gap between an inlet (21) for receiving rice dough supplied through a dough mixer that mixes rice flour and water to form rice dough, and an outlet (22) for discharging to the outside, through which the rice dough is transferred; a steaming screw rod (3) having a length in the longitudinal direction of the transfer steaming space (A) of the steaming body (2) and capable of rotational movement, having a transfer spiral groove (31) formed on its outer surface so as to transfer the rice dough in a spiral direction from the inlet (21) to the outlet (22); and a heating means (4) provided in the steaming body (2) and configured to supply steam to the transfer steaming space (A) to steam the rice dough.

[0038] That is, the rice dough stirred by the above-mentioned dough mixer (not shown) provided separately is introduced through the inlet (21) of the above-mentioned steaming body (2) and discharged through the above-mentioned discharge port (22).

[0039] At this time, the rice dough is steamed and discharged through the steam supplied via the heating means (4) while moving to the discharge port (22) in accordance with the rotational movement of the steaming screw rod (3) in the steaming space (A) of the steaming main body (2).

[0040] Accordingly, as 'mechanical power' is applied to continuously manufacture rice cake noodles, productivity is increased and economic benefits are realized.

[0042] The above rice dough may consist of 45-50% by weight of rice flour and 45-50% by weight of brine; the brine may consist of 94-96% by weight of water and 4-6% by weight of salt, and it is desirable to apply it appropriately according to the user's choice.

[0044] In the above, the heating means (4) is connected to the outer surface of the steaming body (2) to supply steam; the configuration and structure thereof may be suitably applied from among the conventionally known technologies selected by the user.

[0045] The steam supplied through the heating means (4) above can heat the rice dough to 50~60℃, and it is desirable to apply it appropriately according to the user's choice.

[0060] That is, the rice cake dough steamed inside the steaming body (2) through the steaming screw rod (3) is branched into multiple parts through the kneading means (5) and pressed laterally toward the inner surface of the steaming body (2).

[0061] At this time, the dough is kneaded while being pushed against the inner surface of the steaming body (2).

[0062] Accordingly, the dough is kneaded and molded into rice cake noodles.

[0063] Accordingly, the dough surface formed through the above kneading means (5) is structurally more dense and compressed, thereby improving the manufacturing quality.

[0066] That is, the dough steamed inside the steaming body (2) through the steaming screw rod (3) is discharged through the kneading branching grooves (52) of the kneading body (51) and is branched and formed into a plurality of 'rice cake noodles'.

[0067] At this time, the dough is kneaded by pressing and pushing it in the inner side direction of the steaming body (2) inside the kneading branch grooves (52), so that the dough surface is structurally processed to be more dense and compact.

[0069] In the above, the chiseling branch groove (52) may include an orthogonal surface (S1) having a radial directionality centered on the center of the chiseling body (51), and a chiseling pressure surface (S2) connected perpendicularly to the orthogonal surface (S1) and having a directionality opposite to the rotational direction of the chiseling body (51) so that the gap with the inner surface of the steaming body (2) gradually decreases.

[0070] That is, while the dough is being pressure-transported by rotating in the direction of rotation of the steaming screw rod (3), the pressure-applying surface (S2) of the pressure-applying body (51) rotating in the same direction may move toward the orthogonal plane (S1).

[0071] At this time, the dough flowing into the kneading branch groove (52) is gradually compressed and pushed between the steaming body (2) and the kneading pressure surface (S2), and is kneaded into a dough, so that it can become structurally dense and compact.

[0073] As described above, the rice dough manufacturing device (1) according to the present embodiment is characterized by the technical configuration such that a rice dough, mixed with water and rice flour through the dough mixer (not shown), is introduced through the inlet (21) of the steaming body (2) and moves to the discharge port (22) according to the rotational movement of the steaming screw rod (3), and is steamed and moved by steam supplied through the heating means (4). At this time, the steamed rice dough is divided into multiple portions through the kneading means (5) and kneaded by pressing and pushing it in the inner circumferential direction of the steaming body (2) to form and manufacture rice dough.
