Description

本発明は、ノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置に関するものであり、より詳細には、1食分ずつリテイナに入れられて搬送されてくる麺塊に熱風を浴びせて乾燥させて、ノンフライ麺を製造するためのノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a drying device for producing non-fried noodles, and more specifically, for producing non-fried noodles by blowing hot air into a noodle mass that is carried in a retainer for each serving and dried. It relates to a drying device for producing non-fried noodles.

一般に即席麺は、穀粉と水を混捏してドゥ（そぼろ）を生成し、ドゥを圧延して麺帯とし、麺帯を切り出して形成した麺線を１食分ずつカットしてリテイナに入れ、乾燥処理して水分を除去した後、冷却工程を経て製品化される。乾燥処理には、油脂で揚げて水分を除去する方法と、熱風乾燥して水分を除去する方法とがあり、後者はノンフライ麺と称される。 In general, instant noodles are made by mixing flour and water to form dou (soboro), rolling the dou into a noodle band, cutting the noodle band into pieces, cutting each serving into a retainer, and drying. After being treated to remove water, it is commercialized through a cooling process. The drying process includes a method of frying with fat and oil to remove water and a method of hot air drying to remove water, and the latter is called non-fried noodles.

ノンフライ麺の製造に当たっては一般に、１食分ずつリテイナに入れられてコンベアによって搬送されてくる麺塊に対し、上方及び下方から熱風を浴びせて乾燥させる方法が採用されている。そのための装置としては、例えば、特開２０１４－３５１７３号公報に記載されているような、ノズル式の乾燥装置が知られている。このノズル式乾燥装置は、１食分の麺塊を投入したリテイナを多数連続的に搬送するコンベアの上側及び下側に、多数の熱風噴出用ノズルを備えたチャンバーを配設して成る。 In the production of non-fried noodles, a method is generally adopted in which a noodle mass, which is placed in a retainer for each serving and is conveyed by a conveyor, is dried by blowing hot air from above and below. As an apparatus for that purpose, for example, a nozzle-type drying apparatus as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-35173 is known. This nozzle-type drying device includes chambers provided with a large number of nozzles for ejecting hot air on the upper and lower sides of a conveyor that continuously conveys a large number of retainers containing a large number of noodle lumps for one serving.

この装置の場合、多数のノズルを用いる複雑な構成となるため、製品コスト及びメインテナンスコストが嵩む嫌いがある。それだけでなく、熱風は麺塊に対してスポット的に当たるため、熱風の当たらない部分が生じて乾燥ムラが起こるおそれがあり、また、麺塊から外れて麺塊に作用しないノズルもあるため、無駄にエネルギー消費するという問題がある。 In the case of this device, since it has a complicated configuration using a large number of nozzles, there is a tendency that the product cost and the maintenance cost increase. Not only that, the hot air hits the noodle mass in a spot, so there is a risk of uneven drying due to areas that are not exposed to the hot air, and there are nozzles that deviate from the noodle mass and do not act on the noodle mass, which is wasteful. Has the problem of consuming energy.

このような問題を解決するために、本出願人は先に、シンプルな構成で製品コスト及びメインテナンスコストを削減することができ、しかも、搬送されてくる麺塊に対して、無駄なく且つほぼ均一に熱風を浴びせることができるノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置を提案している（特開２０１９－１０５４１０号公報）。 In order to solve such a problem, the applicant can first reduce the product cost and the maintenance cost with a simple configuration, and moreover, the noodle mass to be transported is not wasted and is almost uniform. We have proposed a drying device for producing non-fried noodles that can be exposed to hot air (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2019-105410).

その提案に係る発明は、１食分の麺塊を投入した上下方向に通気可能なリテイナ３６を多数連続的に搬送するコンベア３５と、コンベア３５の上側及び下側に配置される熱風噴射ユニット３１，３２を含んで構成されるノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置であって、上側の熱風噴射ユニット３１は底面に、また、下側の熱風噴出ユニット３２は上面に、それぞれ熱風噴出用スリットノズル３３，３４を有し、上側のスリットノズル３３は、リテイナの搬送方向に対して傾斜するように配置され、下側のスリットノズル３４は、上側のスリットノズル３３と交差するように傾斜させて配置されて成ることを特徴とするものである（図５，６参照）。 The invention according to the proposal is a conveyor 35 that continuously conveys a large number of retainers 36 that can be ventilated in the vertical direction into which one serving of noodle mass is charged, and a hot air injection unit 31 arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the conveyor 35. A drying device for producing non-fried noodles, which comprises 32. The upper hot air injection unit 31 has hot air ejection units 31 on the bottom surface, and the lower hot air ejection unit 32 has hot air ejection slit nozzles 33 and 34 on the upper surface, respectively. The upper slit nozzle 33 is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the transport direction of the retainer, and the lower slit nozzle 34 is arranged so as to be inclined so as to intersect with the upper slit nozzle 33. (See FIGS. 5 and 6).

特開２０１４－３５１７３号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-35173 特開２０１９－１０５４１０号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-105410

上記提案に係るノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置は、シンプルな構成で製品コスト及びメインテナンスコストを削減することができ、搬送されてくる麺塊に対し、リテイナの搬送方向に対して傾斜するように配置されたスリットノズル３３，３４により上下方向から熱風噴射するので、無駄がなく且つほぼ均一な熱風噴射が可能という効果のあるものである。 The drying device for producing non-fried noodles according to the above proposal can reduce the product cost and the maintenance cost with a simple configuration, and is arranged so as to incline the transported noodle mass with respect to the transport direction of the retainer. Since the hot air is jetted from the vertical direction by the slit nozzles 33 and 34, there is an effect that the hot air can be jetted almost uniformly without waste.

但し、この装置を、進行方向幅方向が８～２０食分に分割されて、幅が１２００～３２００ｍｍと広がる量産機に適用した場合は、戻り空気の流路確保の点において問題が生ずる。即ち、この装置の場合、スリットノズル３３，３４は直接エアチャンバー３１，３２に設置されて下方並びに上方に伸びているため、戻り空気の逃げ道は、上下のスリットノズル３３，３４間の狭い隙間Ｇしかない（図６参照）。そのために熱風がスムーズに流れず、乾燥効率が低下するという問題が生ずる。 However, when this device is applied to a mass-produced machine in which the width direction in the traveling direction is divided into 8 to 20 servings and the width is widened to 1200 to 3200 mm, a problem arises in securing a flow path for return air. That is, in the case of this device, since the slit nozzles 33 and 34 are directly installed in the air chambers 31 and 32 and extend downward and upward, the escape path for the return air is a narrow gap G between the upper and lower slit nozzles 33 and 34. There is only (see Fig. 6). Therefore, there arises a problem that hot air does not flow smoothly and the drying efficiency is lowered.

上記特許文献１の発明においては、この戻り空気を逃がすために、チャンバーを上下に貫く気体復流路が設けられているが、その場合、チャンバーの構成が複雑になってコスト高となる嫌いがある。 In the invention of Patent Document 1, a gas return flow path that penetrates the chamber up and down is provided in order to let the return air escape, but in that case, the configuration of the chamber becomes complicated and the cost becomes high. be.

本発明は、従来技術におけるこれらの問題を解決するためになされたもので、シンプルな構成で、スリットノズルから噴射された熱風の戻り空気をスムーズに排出することを可能にし、以て、麺塊の乾燥効率を向上させることができる、ノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置を提供することを課題とするものである。 The present invention has been made to solve these problems in the prior art, and has a simple structure, which makes it possible to smoothly discharge the return air of the hot air ejected from the slit nozzle, and thus the noodle mass. It is an object of the present invention to provide a drying apparatus for producing non-fried noodles, which can improve the drying efficiency of the noodles.

以下に、本発明を実施するための形態について、添付図面に依拠して説明する。図１は、本発明に係るノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置の正面図、図２はその部分側面図、図３はその部分平面図であり、それらに示されるように、本乾燥装置は、架台内に、１食分の麺塊を投入した上下方向に通気可能なリテイナ１を多数連続的に搬送するコンベア３を挟んで、上側に熱風噴射ユニット４が配置され、下側に、熱風噴射ユニット４と同じ構成で上下逆向きの熱風噴射ユニット５が配置されて構成される。 Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a drying device for producing non-fried noodles according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a partial plan view thereof. The hot air injection unit 4 is arranged on the upper side and the hot air injection unit 4 on the lower side, sandwiching a conveyor 3 that continuously conveys a large number of retainers 1 that can be ventilated in the vertical direction in which one serving of noodle mass is charged. The hot air injection unit 5 in the upside-down direction is arranged and configured with the same configuration.

例えば、コンベア３は、リテイナ１を多数横並べにしてセットするリテイナ受け板２を、進行方向に連設したものである。リテイナ１は、底面が網板で、上面は開放された篩状のもので、必要に応じ、熱風乾燥処理時に網蓋が被せられる。 For example, the conveyor 3 is a series of retainer receiving plates 2 in which a large number of retainers 1 are set side by side in the traveling direction. The retainer 1 has a net plate on the bottom surface and an open sieve-like top surface, and is covered with a net lid during hot air drying treatment, if necessary.

上側の熱風噴射ユニット４は、箱型の上側メインチャンバー１１と、上側メインチャンバー１１の底面に複数接続される連結ダクト１２と、複数の連結ダクト１２に連通するように設置されてコンベア３の進行方向に延びる上側サブチャンバー１３と、上側サブチャンバー１３に一体に形成される上側熱風噴出用スリットノズル１４とから成る。図示してないが、上側メインチャンバー１１には、ヒータが付設された熱風ブロワーから延びる熱風ダクトが接続され、熱風が供給される。上側サブチャンバー１３は縦長の中空体で、スリットノズル１４と共にコンベア３の進行方向に延びるが、その進行方向と平行ではなく、角度を持つように配置される。 The upper hot air injection unit 4 is installed so as to communicate with a box-shaped upper main chamber 11, a plurality of connecting ducts 12 connected to the bottom surface of the upper main chamber 11, and a plurality of connecting ducts 12, and the conveyor 3 advances. It is composed of an upper subchamber 13 extending in the direction and an upper hot air ejection slit nozzle 14 integrally formed with the upper subchamber 13. Although not shown, a hot air duct extending from a hot air blower provided with a heater is connected to the upper main chamber 11 to supply hot air. The upper subchamber 13 is a vertically long hollow body, which extends in the traveling direction of the conveyor 3 together with the slit nozzle 14, but is arranged so as to have an angle rather than parallel to the traveling direction.

下側の熱風噴射ユニット５は、上側の熱風噴射ユニット４と基本的同一の構成であり、箱型の下側メインチャンバー２１と、下側メインチャンバー２１の上面に複数接続される連結ダクト２２と、複数の連結ダクト２２に連通設置されてコンベア３の進行方向に延びる下側サブチャンバー２３と、下側サブチャンバー２３に一体に形成される下側熱風噴出用スリットノズル２４とから成る。下側メインチャンバー２１にも、ヒータが付設された熱風ブロワーから延びる熱風ダクトが接続される。下側サブチャンバー２３は縦長の中空体で、スリットノズル２４と共にコンベア３の進行方向に延びるが、その進行方向と平行ではなく、角度を持つように配置される。その傾斜は、上側サブチャンバー１３と反対方向とされる。従って、上側サブチャンバー１３（スリットノズル１４）と下側サブチャンバー２３（スリットノズル２４）は、平面視において交差する。 The lower hot air injection unit 5 has basically the same configuration as the upper hot air injection unit 4, and has a box-shaped lower main chamber 21 and a plurality of connecting ducts 22 connected to the upper surface of the lower main chamber 21. It is composed of a lower subchamber 23 that is continuously installed in a plurality of connecting ducts 22 and extends in the traveling direction of the conveyor 3, and a lower hot air ejection slit nozzle 24 that is integrally formed in the lower subchamber 23. A hot air duct extending from a hot air blower to which a heater is attached is also connected to the lower main chamber 21. The lower subchamber 23 is a vertically long hollow body, which extends in the traveling direction of the conveyor 3 together with the slit nozzle 24, but is arranged so as to have an angle rather than parallel to the traveling direction. The inclination is opposite to that of the upper subchamber 13. Therefore, the upper subchamber 13 (slit nozzle 14) and the lower subchamber 23 (slit nozzle 24) intersect in a plan view.

上下のスリットノズル１４，２４は、リテイナ１の搬送列ごとに配設される。従って、上下のサブチャンバー１３，２３は、リテイナ１の搬送列の上側あるいは下側にある連結ダクト１２，２２に接続されて支持されることになる。通例、上下のサブチャンバー１３，２３は、それぞれ前後２本の連結ダクト１２，２２に接続されて支持される。 The upper and lower slit nozzles 14 and 24 are arranged for each transport row of the retainer 1. Therefore, the upper and lower subchambers 13 and 23 are connected to and supported by the connecting ducts 12 and 22 on the upper side or the lower side of the transport row of the retainer 1. Usually, the upper and lower subchambers 13 and 23 are connected to and supported by two front and rear connecting ducts 12 and 22, respectively.

熱風噴射ユニット４，５は、その上下のスリットノズル１４，２４が、熱風噴射エリアの入口側端部から出口側端部にかけて斜めに配置される。図４に示す例では、１列に６個のリテイナ１が収まる範囲が熱風噴射エリアとされており、その場合上下のスリットノズル１４，２４は、その一端が、熱風噴射エリアの始端に位置するリテイナ１ａの側端部に掛かり、その他端が、熱風噴射エリアの終端に位置するリテイナ１ｂの、リテイナ１ａとは逆側の側端部に掛かっている（図４参照）。 The slit nozzles 14 and 24 above and below the hot air injection units 4 and 5 are diagonally arranged from the inlet side end portion to the outlet side end portion of the hot air injection area. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the range in which the six retainers 1 are accommodated in one row is the hot air injection area, and in that case, one end of the upper and lower slit nozzles 14 and 24 is located at the start end of the hot air injection area. It hangs on the side end of the retainer 1a, and the other end hangs on the side end of the retainer 1b located at the end of the hot air injection area on the side opposite to the retainer 1a (see FIG. 4).

以上の点から明らかなように、上下の熱風噴出スリットノズル１４，２４の傾斜角度は、熱風噴射エリアの長さによって決まってくる。また、スリットノズル１４，２４は、必ずしも長尺のもの１つである必要はなく、短尺のものを２つ、一直線上に連設することとしてもよい。 As is clear from the above points, the inclination angles of the upper and lower hot air ejection slit nozzles 14 and 24 are determined by the length of the hot air ejection area. Further, the slit nozzles 14 and 24 do not necessarily have to be one long one, and two short ones may be connected in a straight line.

上記構成の本発明に係るノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置の場合、１食分の麺塊が投入されてリテイナ受け板２にセットされたリテイナ１が、多数連続的にコンベア３によって搬送され、上下のスリットノズル１４，２４に挟まれた熱風噴射エリア内を通過する。 In the case of the drying device for producing non-fried noodles according to the present invention having the above configuration, a large number of retainers 1 set on the retainer receiving plate 2 into which one serving of noodle lumps is charged are continuously conveyed by the conveyor 3 and the upper and lower slits. It passes through the hot air injection area sandwiched between the nozzles 14 and 24.

図４に示される例では、熱風噴射エリア内を通過する際、先ず、熱風噴射エリアの始端において、リテイナ１（リテイナ１ａ）の進行方向左端が上側のスリットノズル１４からの熱風噴射を受けると共に、その進行方向右端が下側のスリットノズル２４からの熱風噴射を受ける。そして、搬送が進むにつれ、上下のスリットノズル１４，２４の作用域がそれぞれリテイナ１の内側に移行し、やがて熱風噴射エリアの終端に至り、リテイナ１（リテイナ１ｂ）の進行方向右端が上側のスリットノズル１４からの熱風噴射から外れると共に、その進行方向左端が下側のスリットノズル２４からの熱風噴射から外れる。 In the example shown in FIG. 4, when passing through the hot air injection area, first, at the start end of the hot air injection area, the left end of the retainer 1 (retainer 1a) in the traveling direction receives the hot air injection from the upper slit nozzle 14. The right end in the traveling direction receives hot air injection from the lower slit nozzle 24. Then, as the transport progresses, the working areas of the upper and lower slit nozzles 14 and 24 move to the inside of the retainer 1, and eventually reach the end of the hot air injection area, and the right end of the retainer 1 (retainer 1b) in the traveling direction is the upper slit. It deviates from the hot air injection from the nozzle 14, and the left end in the traveling direction deviates from the hot air injection from the lower slit nozzle 24.

このように熱風噴出スリットノズル１４，２４は、各リテイナ１に対して斜めに横切るように向いているので、各リテイナ１内の麺塊は、上下方向からほぼ均一にむらなく熱風の噴射を受けることになる。その場合、スリットノズル１４，２４から噴出される熱風量は、従来のノズル式の場合に比較してかなり少なくて済む（約３分の１）。 In this way, the hot air ejection slit nozzles 14 and 24 are oriented so as to diagonally cross each retainer 1, so that the noodle mass in each retainer 1 receives the hot air evenly and evenly from the vertical direction. It will be. In that case, the amount of hot air ejected from the slit nozzles 14 and 24 is considerably smaller than that of the conventional nozzle type (about one-third).

上側のスリットノズル１４から連続的に噴射される熱風は、上方からリテイナ１内の麺塊を冷却し、リテイナ１及びコンベア３を通り抜けた後、下側サブチャンバー２３間の間隙を通って下側チャンバー２１に向かい、下側サブチャンバー２３を抜けたところで、連結ダクト２２のみが存する下側サブチャンバー２３と下側チャンバー２１との間の広い空間部（戻り流路）に至り、そこから横方向に流れ、外部に流出する（図１参照）。この戻り流路には、連結ダクト２２以外に障害物がないので、戻り空気はそこをスムーズに流れて排出される。 The hot air continuously jetted from the upper slit nozzle 14 cools the noodle mass in the retainer 1 from above, passes through the retainer 1 and the conveyor 3, and then passes through the gap between the lower subchambers 23 to the lower side. When facing the chamber 21 and passing through the lower subchamber 23, a wide space (return flow path) between the lower subchamber 23 and the lower chamber 21 where only the connecting duct 22 is present is reached, and laterally from there. Flows to the outside and flows out (see Fig. 1). Since there are no obstacles other than the connecting duct 22 in this return flow path, the return air flows smoothly there and is discharged.

同様に、下側のスリットノズル２４から連続的に噴射される熱風は、下方からリテイナ１内の麺塊を冷却し、リテイナ１及びコンベア３を通り抜けた後、上側サブチャンバー１３間の間隙を通って上側チャンバー１１に向かい、上側サブチャンバー１３を抜けたところで、連結ダクト１２のみが存する上側サブチャンバー１３と上側チャンバー１１との間の広い空間部に至り、そこから横方向に流れ、外部に流出する（図１参照）。 Similarly, the hot air continuously jetted from the lower slit nozzle 24 cools the noodle mass in the retainer 1 from below, passes through the retainer 1 and the conveyor 3, and then passes through the gap between the upper subchamber 13. Toward the upper chamber 11 and passing through the upper subchamber 13, it reaches a wide space between the upper subchamber 13 and the upper chamber 11 where only the connecting duct 12 is present, and flows laterally from there and flows out to the outside. (See Fig. 1).

本発明に係るノンフライ麺製造用乾燥装置は上記のとおりのものであり、搬送されてくる麺塊に対し、リテイナの搬送方向に対して傾斜するように配置された上下の熱風噴出スリットノズルにより上下方向から熱風噴射するので、無駄がなく且つほぼ均一な熱風噴射が可能という効果があるだけでなく、上下の熱風噴射ユニットのそれぞれの中間部に十分に広い戻り空気を流出させるための戻り流路が確保されていて、戻り空気をスムーズに排出させることができるので、麺塊の乾燥効率を向上させることができる効果があり、その産業上の利用可能性は大である。 The drying device for producing non-fried noodles according to the present invention is as described above, and the noodle lumps to be conveyed are moved up and down by the upper and lower hot air ejection slit nozzles arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the conveying direction of the retainer. Since the hot air is injected from the direction, not only is it possible to inject hot air efficiently and almost uniformly, but also a return flow path for allowing a sufficiently wide return air to flow out to the intermediate parts of the upper and lower hot air injection units. Since the return air can be smoothly discharged, there is an effect that the drying efficiency of the noodle mass can be improved, and its industrial utility is great.
