Description

The The invention relates to a device for treating baked goods. Ovens have long been known in the art and usually have a baking chamber, in the blanks introduced, baked in it and then again can be taken out. More recently However, it has become common practice that, for example Supermarket branches run small bakeries. In these Bakeries are usually deep-frozen or baked half baked pastry and then sold. Since usually the staff blankets in such bakeries are very small, are not enough forces available to introduce the dough into the oven and to get out of this after the baking time. Therefore were Ovens developed, through which rolls to be moved automatically, so no staff needed is to get the dough out of the oven. Such ovens are also referred to below as Durchgangsöfen. The baked goods baked in the passage oven subsequently become common in a storage container or a storage container promoted.

From the DE 103 58 541 A1 is known a feeder for an oven. In this case, an oven can be charged via a storage device with blanks, wherein a Hubfördereinheit is provided, which conveys the blanks to the oven.

From the DE 103 58 540 A1 a separating device for dough pieces is known which conveys individual baked goods in a continuous oven.

often However, it is desirable with a baking device to bake two or more different kinds of baked goods. The problem arises that this baked good ultimately be promoted in separate receptacles should, so that the operator without cumbersome searching in each case the desired type of dough, the storage container can take.

Of the The present invention is therefore based on the object, a baking device to create, in which also two or more different varieties can be easily baked and handled on dough pieces. This is inventively by the subject achieved by claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

A Device according to the invention for treating Dough has an oven in which blanks are baked, the oven is designed as a passage oven through the blanks are conveyed through. Furthermore, one is Transport device provided which emerges from the oven Picks up baked goods and transports them in the direction of a storage unit. According to the invention, the storage unit at least a first storage container for receiving of dough and at least a second storage container for receiving baked goods, wherein the first storage container and the second storage container separated from each other are and between the end of the transport device and the Storage containers one between at least two Positions movable deflector is provided, which is the Bakery products depending on their movement position optionally in the first storage container or the second storage container spends.

at the transport device, the baking goods leaving the oven Preferably, it is a driven conveyor belt. However, other means of transport would also be possible such as slides, chain conveyors or the like In a simple embodiment could also the deflection device is identical to the transport device, especially if the storage containers below of the oven are arranged.

By the device according to the invention is made possible that baked different types of dough in the same oven and then into different containers can be promoted. This will be a device provided in the fully automatic and by the user specified different types of baked goods baked and promoted in different storage containers from which they can be taken by the user. Under an end of the transport device is an end in the transport direction the baked goods understood.

In a further preferred embodiment, the deflection device in at least one position an inclined plane along which the dough is conveyed into a storage container. It is possible, for example, the said crooked Plane in a transport path between the transport device and to bring in the storage containers or again to pull out of these. Once the inclined plane in this transport path is arranged, the dough is deflected and gets to this Way in the other storage container.

The deflecting device preferably contacts the dough pieces only in one position of the deflecting device. This means that the deflector is only in one position in the path between the trans Porteinrichtung and the storage containers is arranged. This is advantageous because the deflection can be cleaned during operation of the device.

Preferably the deflector has an inclined plane and the deflector is in its entirety opposite the storage containers displaceable. In this case, a rail is preferably provided on the the inclined plane is arranged and along which they are in one certain direction is displaced. Advantageous is the inclined plane displaceable in a straight direction. In a further advantageous Embodiment, the inclined plane has a Teflon coating on. This coating has the advantage that the dough is relatively can easily stay on this.

at A further advantageous embodiment is the transport device a steep conveyor, the baked goods at least from below promotes upward. This takes into account that the space for the inventive Device is available, usually is very low. Although it would be in principle possible to arrange the shelves below the oven, but then the oven would be in relatively large Height and which are usually above the Oven arranged storage units for the blanks would be difficult for the operator to access. With the steep conveyors it is possible that the Storage units arranged at approximately the same height can be like the oven itself and thus both the storage units as well as the storage units for the baking blanks arranged in easily accessible height are.

at This steep conveyor can be, for example, a Screw conveyor act, the finished baked dough transported to the top. In addition, however, a conveyor belt may also be provided be, which separates the dough pieces in the direction of the storage containers transported.

Preferably the storage containers have different volumes on, for example, is a first storage container provided for a standard baking and the second storage container for a special baked good. It would be too possible more than two separate storage containers for accordingly a larger number to provide baked goods. In a further advantageous embodiment promotes the transport device the dough isolated. To For this purpose, for example, a conveyor belt with a variety by itself the conveyor belt vertically extending drivers be provided, wherein at each driver a piece of dough to lie down, so that this also isolated in the storage containers can be introduced.

at a further advantageous embodiment is between the oven and the transport device another conveyor belt intended. So it is possible that the falling out of the oven First baked goods on a horizontally extending conveyor is promoted and then on the transport device upwards in the direction of the storage containers. there is this transport device opposite the horizontal between 30 ° and 85 ° preferably between 40 ° and 80 ° and more preferably between 50 ° and 70 ° inclined.

at A further advantageous embodiment is a drive provided the baffle between the two positions emotional. In principle, it would also be possible to manually move the deflector, however, as mentioned above, often only a small number of operating personnel is available Preferably, a drive is provided which moves the deflector.

Preferably the device has two separate reservoirs for blanks of various genres.

at A further advantageous embodiment is a control device provided which the drive of the deflection device in dependence of a genus of blanks filled in the through-hole furnace be controlled. So it is possible, for example, that the user is feeding the oven from a first type of cake switched to a second type of baked goods. The control device then determines when the first baked good of the second Variety to the transport device or to the storage containers. At this time, the deflector is shifted so that now not the first storage container but the second storage container is filled.

The The present invention is further directed to a method of treating directed by dough, the dough is moved through an oven and from this oven is baked and where the dough is after Passing through the oven with a transport device to a Storage unit with at least two separate Storage containers is transported, wherein these storage containers are separated from each other.

Preferably, the dough pieces can be arranged in the first storage container by means of a deflection device arranged between the transporting device and the storage containers be spent and optionally in the second storage container.

Preferably the dough is only in one position of the deflection of this distracted.

As mentioned above, it is at the deflector preferably a deflection device, which in at least one Position has an inclined plane. It would be too possible, for example, at the transport device a hinged plate is arranged to the vertical in a position protrudes down and in a second position, the said crooked Level forms, which the baking dough in the direction of the respective other storage container promotes.

A However, such hinged flap could also be in storage containers be arranged and in this way depending on the position of this flap a promotion of the baked goods in the first or second storage container cause.

In the storage containers 11 . 12 is the baked goods to be baked, for example in the form of deep-frozen or half-baked blanks. Starting from these storage containers 11 . 12 the dough goes into a passage oven 6 in which it is conveyed from top to bottom.

After baking, the dough is moved towards a storage unit 2 promoted, this storage unit 2 a first storage container 22 and a second storage box 24 having. These two storage containers 22 . 24 are through a partition 23 separated from each other.

The reference number 21 refers to a drip pan for catching dough pieces. The reference number 7 denotes a display device such as a touch panel for operating the controller. The two storage containers 11 . 12 can each have doors for filling the baked good. At the in 1 the embodiment shown is the second storage container 24 larger than the first storage box 22 , This first bunker container 22 is also referred to below as a small store shelf and the storage container 24 also as a big sales shelf.

The reference number 25 refers in its entirety to a control device or a control cabinet. Advantageously, this cabinet is accessible from the front, so that changes can be made directly by a customer service. The right part of the picture in 1 shows a side view of a device according to the invention. It can be seen that this device in the construction according to the invention can be made relatively narrow and thus space-saving. The reference number 28 identifies lockable heavy duty castors and the reference numeral 40 an overall housing for the device according to the invention.

A Device according to the invention knows one Hourly output in the range of 600-1200 pieces Baked goods per hour. The temperature range of the oven is adjustable up to 150 °. With the help of the invention Device can be baked all known types of dough become.

2 shows a simplified representation of a device according to the invention for treating baked goods. The two storage containers 11 and 12 are each as about geometric horizontal axes 11b . 12b rotatable container formed in the interior of the still frozen dough lies. These containers are powered by drives 11a . 12a turned. By turning these containers 11 . 12 the dough pieces can be transported out of these and preferably via a funnel or a chute into the oven 6 reach. This arrangement has been described in detail in the still unpublished patent application no. 10 2005 060539.7. By reference, the subject matter of this patent application is also fully made the disclosure of the present patent application.

The passage furnace 6 has a plurality of horizontally arranged plates, the gegenü About the dough is transported from top to bottom. This oven was detailed in the German patent application DE 10 2005 030791 The applicant described and therefore will not be explained in more detail in the context of the present description. By reference, the subject of the DE 10 2005 030791 included in the present patent application.

That in the tunnel 6 baked dough initially reaches a horizontal conveyor belt 35 and in front there on a transport device 4 , This transport device 4 is also here as a conveyor belt 4 executed, which by two pulleys 31 . 32 to be led. Furthermore, on this conveyor belt 4 takeaway 14 provided to the dough in the direction of the receptacles 22 . 24 to promote. However, it would also be possible to transport the device 4 even steeper to arrange. Due to the steep arrangement of the transport device, said device can be made very space-saving.

It However, a continuous conveyor belt with a horizontal Section and a sloping section provided be.

The about the transport device 4 upwardly promoted dough 10 Then you can either drop into the storage unit 22 or the storage unit 24 , In order to select the respective storage unit is a deflector 8th provided that, depending on their position, ensures that the dough is either in the storage container 22 falls or towards the storage box 24 is distracted. The reference number 33 shows another pulley, During the actual baking process, the containers are first 11 and 12 filled with baking goods to be backed. After starting the device, first one of the two containers is set 11 or 12 in motion with the container in question, for example, via the in 1 shown touch panel 7 can be selected.

The blanks fall due to this rotation on a shaft 13 in the passage oven 6 and after being baked, they are passed over the conveyor 4 ie the steep conveyor 4 on the shelves 22 . 24 promoted. At the in 2 shown positioning is the deflection 8th left, ie the rolls are deflected and fall into the large shelf 24 ,

About the control device 25 the entire device is controlled automatically. For example, if the container 12 is in motion, is located at the same time the deflection in the in 2 shown position. If the container 11 is in motion, is the deflection 8th in a right position, so that the dough is 10 directly into the smaller shelf 22 can fall.

The reference numerals 16 and 17 identify (only schematically drawn) sensors that the level of the two storage containers 22 and 24 control and to the control device 25 Report. These sensors may be, for example, light barriers, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors or mechanical scans in the form of pivotable devices or rockers.

For example, if one of the two storage containers 22 . 24 to a certain extent z. B. is filled to 75%, reports the sensor in question 16 . 17 to the control device (which is designed for example as PLC control) the command "drum off", so in due time the passage furnace 6 can be emptied to thereby avoid burnt dough due to an overfull shelf.

The deflection device is not displaced immediately at the same time as the drum is switched off, but only at a specific time interval, which depends on the time required for the dough pieces to pass through the passage oven and via the conveyor device 4 in the direction of the pulley 31 to get.

For example, if one of the two sensors 16 or 17 a certain level of storage containers 22 respectively. 24 has reported, it is possible that the container 11 respectively. 12 automatically restarts, for example, when the sensor in question reports that the shelf only has a level of, for example, 50%. Furthermore, it would also be possible for the operating personnel to be prompted by a warning tone, in this case the relevant storage container 11 . 12 to start again by hand.

Optionally, tailor-made baking programs can be provided, or the generation of beeps when the storage containers 11 . 12 are empty. Between the storage tanks 11 . 12 and the passage furnace 6 can also be arranged a sensor flap, which also causes a counting of the penetrating baking material.

At the top of the passage furnace 6 photocells or other means can be provided which determine from which of the two storage containers 11 . 12 the dough has passed into the passage oven. In response to the detected genus of the backgound can be with the help of the control device 25 a drive for the deflection 8th to be controlled. It is noted that both the two storage containers 22 and 24 as well as the transport device 4 are each arranged stationary.

In principle, however, it would also be possible to keep the two storage containers 22 and 24 with respect to the transport device 4 or with respect to the upper deflection roller 32 this transport device 4 to move the finished baked dough to either storage bin 22 or the second storage container 24 arrives.

3 shows a side view of the storage unit 2 , This storage unit 2 has a housing 40 on, and inside this case 40 a rear boundary wall 42 , Between this rear boundary wall 42 and the flaps 46 . 48 a storage space for the finished dough is formed. Depending on the level of this baking material this can be in three sampling rooms 45 . 47 . 49 reach. The rear boundary wall 42 could also be arranged at a different angle to the horizontal. The extraction rooms 45 . 47 . 49 , are made by wooden grates 44 limited to the bottom and in the end of these rooms are each swivel flaps 48 , as well as lenses 46 , The reference number 43 indicates a holder.

4 shows a detailed view of the device 2 , You can see two pieces here 10 of the baked goods, each of the transport device 4 or the upper end in the direction of the two storage containers 22 . 24 , falling off. Above the two storage containers 22 . 24 is a deflection device movable from right to left in the plane of the figure 8th with a sloping plane 9 intended. In the upper part of 4 this deflector is in position I on the left side. The falling dough is from the inclined plane 9 distracted and gets in this way in the storage container 24 , In the lower part of the picture 4 shown position 2 is the deflection device 9 moved to the right. In this case, the storage container 22 released and the dough 10 can be directly from the transport device 4 fall into these. The inclined plane is inclined by about 30 ° -45 ° relative to the horizontal.

However, other embodiments for the displaceable inclined plane are possible. Thus, the inclined plane could also be displaced in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the figure or also be arranged pivotably at a pivot point S, for example. In one position, for example, the inclined plane would be folded so that the dough directly into the first storage container 22 falls. If the inclined plane is folded up about the pivot point S, the dough is in the second storage container 24 slide.

5 shows a further embodiment of a deflection device according to the invention 8th , Here is the deflector 8th about a joint 8a pivotally mounted about a pivot axis S1. This pivot axis is located above the partition 23 ,

In the in the upper part of 5 shown situation, the deflection is arranged so that the dough in turn through the inclined plane 8th in the second storage container 24 slips. In the situation shown in the lower partial image, the deflector is 8th not in the movement path between the transport device 4 and the storage containers 22 . 24 arranged so that the dough back here again directly into the first storage container 22 can fall. In the embodiments shown is thus the deflection 8th only in one of the two positions in the path between the transport device 4 and the storage containers 22 . 24 ,

6 shows a further embodiment of a deflection device according to the invention 8th , Here, the inclined plane is pivotable about a pivot axis S2 on the transport device 4 arranged and the second end of the inclined plane protrudes into the first storage container 22 into it. The length of such a pivoting flap can be chosen so that in a further pivoted state (position II, lower part of 6 ) the dough pieces in the second storage container 24 slides.

It should be noted that the separation of the baked goods preferably already in or after the reservoir 11 . 12 is made and the dough is already occasionally transported through the passage furnace and also isolated to the transport device 4 arrives. It would also be possible, for example, at the transport device 4 Light barriers or other units to attach to the receptacles 22 . 24 counted dough pieces. Another corresponding counting unit could, for example, also at a lower output of the receptacles 22 . 24 be provided so that always the current in the receptacles 22 . 24 existing number of dough pieces 10 is known. Depending on this known number of pieces, it is then decided which of the storage containers 11 . 12 to be refilled.

All Features disclosed in the application documents are considered to be essential to the invention as far as they are individually or in combination the prior art are new.
