PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a positive displacement method for weighing boiled noodles in which small amounts boiled noodles in a hopper is supplied to a weighing container so as to increase weighing accuracy, noodle ribbons are made hardly clog, and immediately unclogging when noodle ribbons clog up.SOLUTION: The method for weighing the boiled noodles includes forming a supply port of a hopper bottom in a slit-like form, widening a passage toward a weighing container from the supply port of a slit-like form more than the supply port, producing inverted water current for boiled noodle supply from the inside of the supply port, and producing downward water current along the back wall surface of the hopper toward the supply port. Furthermore, the method includes making the supply port expandable, installing a drum above the supply port so as to make the supply port face a circumferential surface, and producing water current so as to make boiled noodles go around the outside of the circumferential surface, centering around the drum.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】容積式の茹麺の計量方法において、ホッパー内の茹麺を計量容器に小出し供給し計量精度を高めること。麺線を詰まり難くし、麺線が詰まった場合に直ぐに詰まりを解消すること。【解決手段】ホッパー底部供給口をスリット形状にすること。スリット形状の該供給口から計量容器に向かう流路が、該供給口より拡げられたものにすること。茹麺の供給に逆向きの水流を該供給口の内側から発生させると共に、該供給口に向かってホッパーの後部壁面に沿った下降水流を発生させること。該供給口を拡縮可能とすること。該供給口の上方で、該供給口と円周面が向かい合うようにドラムを設け、該ドラムを中心に円周面外側を茹麺が周回するように水流を発生させること。【選択図】図13
