PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for molding vinegared rice ball capable of simultaneously specifying a supply number of dishes to place vinegared rice balls on, and with or without of application of horse-radish to vinegared rice balls, and evenly applying horse-radish to each of vinegared rice balls.SOLUTION: This device for molding vinegared rice ball includes a vinegared rice supplying part 1, a right and left twin vertical conveyor part 2, and a vinegared rice ball molding part 3 which simultaneously molds vinegared rice in each of molding holes of a turn table T to each two vinegared rice balls. Furthermore, the device includes a dish supplying mechanism 4 which selects a dish Q one by one from a plurality of dish supporters 4a, 4b and 4c to transport it with a carrier conveyor 5 to a vinegared rice ball placing place below the vinegared rice ball molding part 3, a vinegared rice ball placing mechanism 6 which places on the dish Q, each of vinegared rice balls P molded by the vinegared rice ball molding part 3, a horse-radish applying mechanism 7 which transports the dish Q placed with each of the vinegared rice balls P to a horse-radish supplying place below a horse-radish supplying part by the carrier conveyor 5 and applies a fixed amount of horse-radish to each of the vinegared rice balls P, and a dish withdrawing mechanism 9 which withdraws the dish Q and places ingredients thereon and transfers it to a conveyor 8.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】シャリ玉を載せる皿の供給枚数の指定と、シャリ玉へのワサビの塗布の有無の指定とが同時に可能となり、各シャリ玉に均一にワサビを塗布できるようにする。【解決手段】シャリ供給部1、左右二連の縦コンベア部2、ターンテーブルTの各成形孔内のシャリを同時に2個ずつ成形するシャリ玉成形部3、搬送コンベア5により複数の皿支持部4a、4b、4cから一枚ずつ皿Qを選別してシャリ玉成形部3下方のシャリ玉載せ位置に移送する皿供給機構4、シャリ玉成形部3によって成形した各シャリ玉Pを皿Q上に載せるシャリ玉載せ機構6、各シャリ玉Pを載せた皿Qを前記搬送コンベア5によりワサビ供給部下方のワサビ供給位置に移送して各シャリ玉Pに定量のワサビを塗布するワサビ塗布機構7、皿Qを払い出してネタ載せコンベア8に移載する皿払い出し機構9それぞれを備える。【選択図】図4
