2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pot device has been used for mixing and stirring a plurality of objects (including “raw material”, “semi-finished product” and “product” in this specification) to obtain a desired object. There is. For example, as an object to be produced by mixing and stirring with such a kettle device, there is curry or stew roux produced by mixing and stirring (kneading) powder such as wheat flour and oil (butter). Such an object is manufactured so that a uniform object can be obtained by mixing and stirring a plurality of raw materials in a pot (including "kneading" in this specification).

On the other hand, when manufacturing an object of this type, there are cases where mixing and stirring are performed while heating or mixing and stirring are performed while cooling. For example, the curry and stew roux are
Since powder such as wheat flour and oil are produced by mixing and stirring, a uniform object cannot be obtained unless mixing and stirring while heating the pot main body at a predetermined temperature.

[0004] As a conventional technique of this kind of mixing and stirring pot, there is a device described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2533936. According to the present invention, in a heating vessel of an oblique axis stirring type having an easy airtight structure, a pipe for injecting the seasoning liquid is installed near the lower portion of the inner surface of the vessel so that sufficient mixing and stirring can be obtained.

However, in the conventional kettle as described above, since the raw material is agitated only by the agitating blades sliding on the inner surface of the kettle, there are cases where the whole of the kettle cannot be evenly agitated. . In particular, when the object to be mixed and stirred is highly viscous like curry or stew roux, there is a large difference in the mixing and stirring effect between the position where the stirring blades pass and the position where the stirring blades do not pass, making the entire pot more uniform. It becomes impossible to mix and stir.

Depending on the object, the kettle may be mixed and stirred while being heated or cooled. In such a case, the object (raw material) easily adheres to the inner wall of the kettle. It is difficult to mix and stir the object adhered to the inner wall of the kettle without scraping the entire object inside the kettle while scraping it.

Moreover, there are many kinds of objects to be manufactured in such a kettle, and when raw materials of the kinds corresponding to those objects are put into the kettle and mixed and stirred, depending on the objects. It is necessary to change the state of mixing and stirring by means of the above, but in the above-mentioned conventional kettle, it is performed only by controlling the rotation speed of the stirring blades, and thus it is not possible to effectively perform mixing and stirring of various objects.

The retention can be effectively prevented.

Further, the rotation direction of the stirring tool and the rotation direction of the kettle body, and the rotation speed of the stirring tool and the kettle body are
By providing a control device that controls the rotation in a relative relationship that does not cause retention in the target object, while controlling the rotation direction of the stirring tool and the rotation direction of the kettle body according to the property of the target object, and the rotation speeds of these. , The object can be effectively scraped by the scraper.

Further, the upper cover is fixed, and the rotating direction of the stirring tool of the upper cover and the rotating direction of the kettle body are the same, and the rotational speed of the stirring tool and the rotating speed of the kettle body are If it is configured to control the rotation in a relative relationship, the raw material inlet and the like are provided on the fixed-side upper cover to facilitate the connection with other equipment and the like, and at the rotation speed according to the property of the object. The object can be effectively mixed and stirred by rotating the stirrer and the pot body.

Further, by disposing a plurality of a pair of stirring tools and scrapers having the above-mentioned arrangement relationship in the pot main body, it is possible to effectively mix and stir the entire pot main body according to the property of the object.

Further, a plurality of agitators arranged in the pot body are driven at the same rotational speed by a drive gear provided at the center of rotation of the pot body and a driven gear which meshes with the drive gear and rotates in synchronization. According to this structure, it is possible to perform uniform mixing and stirring in the main body of the pot by rotating the plurality of stirring tools in synchronization with each other, and to avoid the interference of the plurality of stirring tools.

Further, the plurality of scrapers are divided into a plurality of scrapers along the inner wall of the hook body so that the scraper on the inner wall of the hook body is not left unscratched, and the plurality of scrapers are scraped by providing a predetermined space. By arranging the picking surfaces so that the picking surfaces are at different positions, almost no unscraped object that adheres to the inner wall of the kettle occurs, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects due to the staying of the object, and more. It becomes possible to mix and stir the target object. Moreover, the space provided between the scrapers allows the objects scraped by the scrapers to be effectively mixed and stirred while escaping from the space to the rear. This makes it possible to effectively mix and stir some of the objects while allowing them to escape, especially when mixing and stirring highly viscous objects.

On the other hand, according to the pot apparatus having such an arrangement structure of the stirrer and the scraper, various objects can be effectively mixed and stirred. Particularly, according to such a hook device, an object having a viscosity (for example,
It is possible to effectively mix and stir the object for producing curry, stew roux, etc.). It is also effective when heating and mixing and stirring the object.

5, the rotation outlet side and the inlet side of the agitator 15 are appropriately determined according to the rotation direction of 5 and the pot main body 2.

According to the shuttle device 1 constructed as described above, first, as shown in FIG.
The stirring device 4 and the pot inner wall scraper device 5 provided on the upper cover 6 are set in a predetermined position of the pot body 2. In this set state, the stirrer 15 of the stirrer 4 provided on the upper cover 6 is set at a predetermined position, and the scraper 18 of the pot inner wall scraper device 5 is set at a predetermined position of the pot inner wall 19. Further, since this embodiment is an example of manufacturing the curry roux, as shown in FIG. 10, the heating medium 62 is supplied from the tilting shaft 30 and the kettle body 2 is heated to a predetermined temperature by this medium 62. .

With the shuttle main body 2 thus set on the upper cover 6, the drive unit 44 shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the pot main body 2 is rotated in the direction of arrow a at a predetermined number of revolutions, and the stirring device 4 provided in the upper cover 6 rotates the stirring tool 15 in the direction of arrow b.
When the stirring tool 15 is rotated in the state where the pot main body 2 is rotated, the object is also made to flow in the direction of the arrow b, whereby the scraper 18 is pressed by the object and comes into close contact with the pot inner wall 19. Therefore, the object (raw material) mixed and stirred in the pot main body 2 is scraped off so as not to adhere to the pot inner wall 19. Moreover, since the stirring circle 86 drawn by the stirring tool 15 is provided in the vicinity of the portion 88 close to the inner wall 19 of the kettle, that is, in the present embodiment, the scraper 18 is provided near the rotation outlet side of the stirring tool 15 for scraping. , The object which is being stirred and flowing by the agitator 15 is scraped off by the scraper 18 toward the center of the kettle main body with the arrow c, and the object is allowed to flow in a preferable state without being retained at the inner wall 19 of the kettle. It can be mixed and stirred. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the space 87 is provided between the scrapers 18, even if the object has a high viscosity such as a roux of curry, a part of the object scraped from the space 87 is partially scraped. It is possible to scrape the entire inner wall 2 of the shuttle while letting it escape in the direction of the arrow d, which is the rear side. As a result, it is possible to mix and stir without causing large resistance or uneven flow of the object.

In this way, a plurality of raw materials are charged into the pot main body 2, and the object (curry roux) is produced by mixing and stirring for a predetermined time in a heated state. During this period, the two pairs of stirring tools 15 and scrapers 18 provided inside the pot main body 2 mix and stir the entire inside of the pot in a preferable state without attaching the object to the pot inner wall 19.
A uniform object can be manufactured. In this embodiment, since the upper cover 6 is fixed and the pot main body 2 is rotatable, the stirrer 15 and the scraper 18 are arranged so that the scraping and mixing / stirring functions are optimally achieved according to the object. Thus, it is possible to provide the upper cover 6.

When the desired object is manufactured in the pot main body 2, the rotation of the pot main body 2 is stopped and the rotation of the agitator 15 is stopped, and then the scraper 18 is separated from the inner wall 19 of the pot. .

Thereafter, the elevating frame 28 is lowered along the elevating frame 23 so that the frame 10 supporting the shuttle main body 2 is lowered to the position shown in FIG. When the hook main body 2 is lowered to a predetermined position, the tilt shaft 30 is rotated by the arm member 49 by extending the rod 48 of the tilt cylinder 46, as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. The hook main body 2 is tilted together with the body 10 to a predetermined angle. At this time, the tilted object in the shuttle main body 2 is transferred to the container 50 for carrying to the next processing facility.

Moreover, in this embodiment, since the shuttle body 2 is rotatably supported by the frame body 10, it is possible to rotate the shuttle body 2 in an inclined state, and the object has viscosity. Even if it is difficult to discharge, etc., it can be discharged efficiently.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the pot body 2 is configured to be heatable, and the pot body 2 is heated by the stirring tool 15 of the stirrer 4.
While the objects inside are mixed and stirred, the objects attached to the inner wall 19 of the kettle are scraped off by the scraper 18 of the inner wall scraper device 5 of the kettle. Even when a viscous object is obtained by mixing and stirring oil and oil in the kettle body 2, it can be used as a suitable kettle device 1.

In the above embodiment, the curry roux is used as an example of the object, but the object is:
In addition to curry and stew roux, various raw materials such as kneaded wasabi, kneaded spices and other viscous food materials may be used, and the object is not limited to the above embodiment.

Further, the above-described embodiment is one embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
