Description

Noodle food manufacturing device

[0001] The present invention relates to a noodle food manufacturing device, and more specifically, to a noodle food manufacturing device that can increase production volume while reducing costs, as well as ensure stable operation during the manufacturing process.

[0002] Generally, various food products are made using grains. While grains like rice or barley can be consumed with minimal deformation, a wide variety of products are being manufactured in recent years to increase consumption or make them more palatable.

[0003] Grain products that have traditionally been enjoyed include noodle products. Well-known common round noodles, square noodles, and knife-cut noodles are available, and ramen is also being commercialized in various forms. In addition, there are so many types of noodle products that it is difficult to count them, such as udon, jjolmyeon, and spaghetti noodles. In this invention, these are collectively referred to as "noodle products" during the manufacturing process.

[0004] That is, a dough made from ground grain products is first prepared to form a wide noodle sheet, and then noodles are produced by dividing the dough into many thin, long shapes, and subsequently, noodle food is produced by adding various seasonings and broth.

[0005] Figure 1 is a schematic drawing illustrating a noodle-making machine of a general structure.

[0006] Referring to FIG. 1, a noodle-making machine of a general structure comprises: a first dough part (1) for first kneading the dough; a second dough part (2) for second kneading the dough that has been first kneaded; an extrusion part (3) for third kneading the dough that has undergone the first and second kneading and extruding it through a molding machine (5) to make noodles; and dough plates (4, 4') provided between the first dough part (1) and the second dough part (2) and between the second dough part (2) and the extrusion part (3).

[0007] At this time, the first dough part (1) is composed of a dough bucket (11) into which dough is fed, a first dough screw (12) mounted inside the dough bucket (11) to knead the fed dough, and a drive (13) that rotates the first dough screw (12). The first dough screw (12) is installed horizontally and is equipped with a stirring blade (not shown) that stirs the dough while rotating, kneads the dough inside the dough bucket (11), and transfers the dough to the second dough part (2). The second dough part (2) is equipped with a dough drum (21) that communicates with the dough bucket (11) of the first dough part (1), and a second dough screw (22) is mounted inside the dough drum (21).

[0008] The above secondary dough screw (22) is formed with a stirring blade (not shown) that rotates and stirs the dough in the dough drum (21) just like the above primary dough screw (12), and simultaneously conveys the dough to the extrusion part (3).

[0009] The dough drum (21) of the above secondary dough part (2) is installed in a direction perpendicular to the primary dough screw (1), that is, in an up-and-down vertical direction, and a secondary dough screw (22) in a vertical direction is installed inside it. The dough bucket (11) of the primary dough part (1) is installed on the upper side of the dough drum (21) so that the dough material being kneaded and transported from the primary dough screw (12) is fed into the upper part of the dough drum (21).

[0010] In addition, an extrusion part (3) is installed at the bottom of the dough drum (21) of the secondary dough part (2) that moves the dough downward with the vertically installed secondary dough screw (22).

[0011] The extrusion part (3) is composed of an extrusion housing (31) that is connected to a dough drum (21) and into which dough is fed, an extrusion screw (32) that is rotated by a drive unit (35) to perform both dough mixing and extrusion operations, and heaters (33, 33') and coolers (34, 34') that heat and cool the dough that is mixed and extruded by the extrusion screw (32).

[0012] An extrusion screw (not shown) that performs mixing and extrusion is installed inside the extrusion housing (31), and a heater (33, 33') is installed on the outside of the extrusion housing (31). The heater (33, 33') is configured by installing a plurality of primary heaters (33) and secondary heaters (33') in a row, and also installing a cooler (34, 34') in a row.

[0013] A molding machine (5) is installed at the end of the extrusion housing (31) where the heater (33, 33') and cooler (34, 34') are installed.

[0014] The above-mentioned molding machine (5) is composed of a molding window and a cotton discharge port, in which a number of holes are formed according to the thickness of the cotton and the cotton is molded.

[0015] The extrusion screw (32) equipped with the heater (33, 33') and cooler (34, 34') simultaneously performs a kneading operation to ensure the dough is well bound and an extrusion operation.

[0016] Following the extrusion and kneading operations of the extrusion screw (not shown) above, the heater (33, 33') applies heat to the kneaded dough to perform a kneading operation that further increases stickiness and improves elasticity by kneading.

[0017] The heater (33, 33') allows the dough to be kneaded with elasticity, thereby further enhancing the cohesiveness of the tissue and making the dough easier to knead. Additionally, the cooler (34, 34') ensures that the shape of the noodles is uniformly well-cohesive to produce noodles with high viscoelasticity, and the cooler (34, 34') allows cooling water to circulate through a circulation hose to age the dough at a low temperature.

[0018] That is, the extrusion screw (not shown) simultaneously performs a kneading operation in which pressure is applied to the particles of the dough and a stirring operation in which they are mixed and fused together, and an extrusion operation in which the dough is pushed toward the molding machine (5).

[0019] And simultaneously with this dough mixing process, the heater (33, 33') and cooler (34, 34') heat the kneaded dough and perform hot dough mixing to increase stickiness and elasticity, as well as low-temperature aging.

[0020] The dough, having passed through these heaters (33, 33') and coolers (34, 34'), is extruded through a molding machine (5) by an extrusion screw (32) and molded into a noodle.

[0021] Meanwhile, generally, noodle food products are manufactured by forming and producing noodles using a noodle-making machine as described above, then undergoing processes such as boiling them in hot water, and subsequently adding various seasonings and broth.

[0095] FIGS. 9 to 12 are drawings for explaining the operation of a noodle food manufacturing device according to the present invention.

[0096] First, as described above, the noodle food manufacturing device (100) according to the present invention comprises: a dough section (110); a noodle-making section (120) for making noodles from dough produced from the dough section; and a steam injection section (200) disposed below the noodle-making section (120). Additionally, the steam injection section (200) comprises: a drum section (210) including a drum section inlet (211) into which noodles are introduced and a drum section outlet (212) into which noodles are discharged, and including a steam injection port (not shown) on the inner side; a first opening / closing section (220) for opening and closing the drum section inlet and cutting the noodles introduced through the drum section inlet; and a second opening / closing section (230) for opening and closing the drum section outlet.

[0097] At this time, referring to FIG. 9, the noodle food manufacturing device (100) according to the present invention closes the drum discharge port (212) through the second opening / closing part (230).

[0098] Next, referring to FIG. 10, the dough from the dough unit is kneaded through the noodle-making unit (120) to produce noodles, and the produced noodles are fed into the steam injection unit through the drum unit inlet (211).

[0099] Next, referring to FIG. 11, as the manufactured noodles are fed into the steam injection unit through the drum unit inlet (211), steam is injected through the steam injection port located on the inner side of the drum unit (210), thereby cooking the manufactured noodles.

[0100] That is, in the present invention, the manufactured noodles are cooked using steam.

[0101] Next, referring to FIG. 12, steam is injected through a steam nozzle located on the inner side of the drum part (210) to cook the manufactured noodles, and the manufactured noodles are cut to a certain length during the cooking process.

[0102] At this time, cutting the manufactured surface to a certain length is possible by closing the drum part input port through the first opening / closing part, and at the same time cutting the manufactured surface to a certain length.

[0103] Meanwhile, the drum discharge port is closed through the second opening / closing part (230), and the drum inlet port is closed through the first opening / closing part, thereby allowing the drum to maintain a constant pressure.

[0104] At this time, as described above, the drum section may further include a pressure regulating device, and by regulating a certain pressure of the drum section by the pressure regulating device, the pressure of the drum section can be regulated according to the flow of noodles introduced into the steam injection section.

[0105] Afterwards, the noodles cooked through the steam injection unit are discharged to the outside of the drum unit by opening the second opening / closing unit, and noodle food products can be manufactured by adding various seasonings and broth in the subsequent process.

[0106] As mentioned above, in the case of a noodle-making machine with a general structure, automation is performed only up to the process of forming and manufacturing noodles, and subsequent processes are carried out manually, so there is a limit to the production volume of noodle food products.

[0107] However, the present invention provides a noodle food manufacturing device that can increase production volume and reduce costs, as well as ensure stable operation during the manufacturing process, by automating the process from molding and manufacturing the noodles to boiling the noodles.

[0108] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention may be implemented in other specific forms without changing its technical concept or essential features. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
