かかる問題を解消するために、 特開昭 6 2 - 2 9 6 8 6 5 公報には、 合槽 内の液状物及び固形物からなる食品材料を、 縦方向の軸に取り付けた 2枚又は 4 枚羽根からなる攪拌機を回転させて攪拌することにより、 同心円状に流動させる と同時に、 この流動を邪魔板で妨害し、 更に食品材料を混合槽の底部から上部に 循環させ、 邪魔板付近に導入することにより、 縦方向にも流動させて、 均 -に混 合する方法が開示されている。 そして、 混合槽の底部から取り出した食品材料を 分割して、 その一方を充填機で個々の容器に分配する。 In order to solve such a problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-2966865 describes that two or four food materials comprising a liquid material and a solid material in a mixed tank are attached to a vertical shaft. By rotating a stirrer consisting of single blades and stirring, it is made to flow concentrically, and at the same time, this flow is obstructed by a baffle plate, and food materials are circulated from the bottom to the top of the mixing tank and introduced near the baffle plate By doing so, a method is also disclosed in which the resin is caused to flow in the vertical direction and is evenly mixed.

Can be changed. According to the inventor of the present invention, the frequency of the motor 13 is generally about 2 to 3 depending on the viscosity and other properties of the liquid portion usually used for the solid-liquid mixed food, the size of the solid matter to be combined, and the weight. A range of 100 cycles (rpm) is preferred, especially a range of about 50 to 70 cycles of ffl. Further, it is preferable to set the motor frequency lower as the size of the first object, ie,] ^, is larger.
例えば、 具材として 1 cm角程度の大きさの野菜、 肉片などを入れた比較的粘性 の低いスープの場合には、 第 3 [ こ す攪柞 3のように、 nj動テーブル 1 0 を水平方向に回転させるだけで、 十分に具を攪抨することができる。 しかしなが ら、 具が大きい場合やスープの粘性が^い場合には、 第 6図の変形例による攪袢 装置 3 ' を用いて、 可動テーブルを水甲-方^の inlfeji ljに加えて、 後左 方向 に揺動させると、 容易に攪拌できることが本願発明者により確 された。 For example, in the case of a relatively low-viscosity soup that contains vegetables, meat pieces, etc. of about 1 cm square as ingredients, the nj moving table 10 should be placed horizontally on the third Just rotate it in the direction, and you can sufficiently stir the tool. However, if the ingredients are large or the viscosity of the soup is high, add the movable table to the inlfeji lj of the Mizuka-kata using the stirrer 3 'according to the modification shown in FIG. It has been confirmed by the inventor of the present application that the rocker can be easily stirred by swinging in the rear left direction.
