PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooked rice molding apparatus capable of obtaining a cooked rice molded product in the state where the outside is slightly stiff and the inside is soft and full.SOLUTION: A cooked rice molding apparatus comprises a molding tool 2 and a vibration mechanism 3. The molding tool 2 has an internal space for housing cooked rice. The vibration mechanism 3 vibrates the molding tool 2. The molding tool 2 comprises a peripheral wall 23 including a plurality of side face parts 23a surrounding the internal space. The vibration mechanism 3, regarding each of the plurality of side face parts 23a, vibrates the molding tool 2 in the normal direction of the side face part 23a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】外部は固めで内部が柔らかくふっくらした状態の米飯成形品を得ることができる米飯成形装置を提供する。【解決手段】米飯成形装置は、成形型2と、振動機構3とを備える。成形型2は、米飯を収容するための内部空間を有する。振動機構3は、成形型2を振動させる。成形型2は、上記内部空間を囲む複数の側面部23aを含む周壁23を備える。振動機構3は、複数の側面部23aの各々について、側面部23aの法線方向に成形型2を振動させる。【選択図】図1
