PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice molding device capable of improving the convenience and workability of a user, and improving the quality of a rice molded body.SOLUTION: There is provided a device provided with a molding part 4 comprising: a pair of cutter members 40 horizontally movably arranged so as to be relatively confronted with the lower position of a feed-out part 3 and formed with cutting blades 42 cutting a bar-shaped rice 10 fed-out from the feed-out part 3 and a pair of molding roller members 41 arranged so as to be forward/reverse rotatably relatively confronted with the lower position of a pair of the cutter members 40, and formed with a locking piece 43 locking the rice 10 cut by a pair of the cutter members 40 on the circumferential face. When the cutting edges 42 of a pair of the cutter members 40 are abutted, a pair of the rolling roller members 41 are forwardly rotated, while moving down the locking piece 43, the cut rice 10 is received, in a state where the cutting edges 42 of a pair of the cutter members 40 are abutted, a pair of the rolling roller members 41 are reversely rotated, and, while moving up the locking piece 43, the rice 10 is pressed against the cutting edges 42 to produce a rice molded body 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】利用者の利便性や作業性を改善し、米飯成形体の品質を向上できる米飯成形装置を提供する。【解決手段】成形部4は、送出部3の下方位置に相対向して水平移動可能に配置され、送出部3より送出された棒状の米飯10を截断する切刃42が形成される一対のカッター部材40と、一対のカッター部材40の下方位置に相対向して正逆回転可能に配置され、周面に一対のカッター部材40にて截断された米飯10を係止する係止片43が形成される一対の成形ローラ部材41とが設けられ、一対のカッター部材40の切刃42が当接する際に、一対の成形ローラ部材41を正回転させて、係止片43を下動させながら截断された米飯10を受け止め、一対のカッター部材40の切刃42が当接した状態で、一対の成形ローラ部材41を逆回転させて、係止片43を上動させながら切刃42に米飯10を押圧し、米飯成形体11を製造する装置。【選択図】図3
