Stirring apparatus for boiled noodles

A stirring apparatus for boiled noodles, comprising:

• a bed;
• a column, erected on the bed;
• a revolution shaft, axially supported by the column and extending in a horizontal direction along a horizontal axis;
• a revolution driving device, having a first actuator and rotating the revolution shaft every predetermined angle about a first center line being an axis of the revolution shaft;
• a support member, fixed to the revolution shaft and rotating about the revolution shaft;
• and
• at least one stirring unit, stirring and discharging boiled noodles supplied thereto, wherein
• the at least one stirring unit comprises:
• a plurality of cups, having a bottom plate, a side plate surrounding a periphery of the bottom plate, and an opening formed at an upper end of the side plate, the plurality of cups being disposed evenly every predetermined angle on a circumference centered on the first center line, and being attached to the support member;
• and
• a self-rotation mechanism, having a second actuator and rotating each of the plurality of cups about a second center line passing through a center of the bottom plate and a center of the opening,
• each of the plurality of cups is provided in an inclined manner so that a perpendicular from the center of the bottom plate to the first center line is shorter than a perpendicular from the center of the opening to the first center line,
• during the rotation of the revolution shaft from 0° to 360°, an angle between the first center line and the second center line remains constant.
