Description

SPECIFICATION Dough treatment apparatus This invention relates to dough treatment apparatus.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided dough treatment apparatus which comprises: a frame; a hopper arranged on the frame to receive a charge of dough; a dough divider mounted on the frame and arranged to receive dough from the hopper, and to press the dough into a predetermined dough piece, prior to discharge of the dough piece from the dough divider, and a rotary dough moulder mounted on the frame and arranged to receive a predetermined dough peice from the dough divider, the dough moulder having two relatively rotatable parts which are arranged to exert a moulding action on the dough piece prior to discharge of a moulded dough piece from the apparatus.
It is preferred that the dough divider comprises a main chamber arranged below an outlet of the hopper, a piston which is reciprocable within said chamber, and a measuring pocket which is cooperable with the piston and the main chamber, in which the piston is movable in one direction in order to draw dough from the hopper and into the chamber, and its movable in-an opposite direction in order to press dough into the measuring pocket.
Conveniently, the relative arrangement of the dough divider and the moulder is such that predetermined dough pieces can fall under gravity from the dough divider to the moulder, though this is not essential to the invention, and a suitable transfer mechanism can be provided instead.
The measuring pocket may be defined in a body which is movable between a receiving position in which the measuring pocket can receive dough from the main chamber, and a discharge position in which the measured dough piece received by the pocket can be discharged to the moulder. An ejector may be provided which is operated automatically to eject a dough piece as the body moves to the discharge position. Conveniently, the body is pivotally mounted on the dough divider for movement through approximately 90" between a substantially horizontal receiving position of the pocket, and a substantially vertical discharge position of the pocket.
Alternatively, the measuring pocket may be so arranged as to be filled, and emptied, by a substantially vertical straight line reciprocating action.
The moulder, as indicated above, comprises two relatively rotatable parts, and drive means may be provided to rotate either of the parts as desired. In one embodiment, the moulder has outer and inner cylindrical or tubular parts, with a generally spiral groove defined between the inner surface of the outer part and the outer surface of the inner part.
Conveniently, the outer part comprises a drum having shallow longitudinal grooves on its inner surface to assist the moulding action, and the inner part has a deep spiral groove on its outer surface, shaped somewhat in the manner of the rotary core of a domestic mincing machine.
The inner tubular part is arranged to receive measured dough pieces which fall under gravity into the interior of the inner part, and a guide is provided on the base of the interior to guide dough pieces into a lower entry end of the spiral groove.
As relative rotation takes place between the inner and outer tubular parts, each dough piece is caused to enter the spiral groove and is subjected to a rotary or moulding action, which forms the piece into a generally ball shape, as it is moved upwardly to a discharge end of the moulder at the upper end of the spiral groove As mentioned above, the moulding action is effective for transmission of drive to either of the tubular parts.
A conveyor may be arranged to receive generally ball-shaped dough pieces which are discharged from the moulder, and to transfer the pieces to a further stage in a bakery plant.
As provided by the first aspect of the invention, the dough divider and the moulder are provided on a common frame, and a single source of drive may be provided e.g. an electric motor, from which drive is transmitted to operate the moving elements of the dough divider and the moulder (and the conveyor), though separate drive means may be provided if desired.
According to a second aspect the invention provides a dough treatment apparatus which comprises a frame, and a dough moulder mounted on the frame so as to receive a succesion of measured dough pieces which it moulds into generally ballshaped pieces and simulataneously conveys to a discharge position, in which the dough moulder comprises: a first part; a second part; means for imparting relative rotation to the first and second parts about a substantially vertical axis; an inlet opening arranged to received measured dough pieces; and a spiral moulding and conveying groove which is arranged in one of said parts and extends in a gen eraliy horizontal plane from its radially inner end which communicates with said inlet opening to its radially outer end which serves to discharge the dough pieces, the arrangement of the first and second parts being such that, upon relative rotation of one of the parts, dough pieces fed to the inlet opening are subjected to a simultaneous moulding and conveying action which forms the dough pieces into generally bell-shaped pieces and conveys the latter to be discharged from the moulder.
In one preferred arrangement of the second aspect of the invention, the spiral groove is formed exclusively in one of the first and second parts, and the other of the parts comprises a bottom plate having an inner face which is provided with shallow radial grooves which cooperate with the spiral groove in order to exert the required mould ing and conveying action thereon The bottom plate may be flat, or conical. Means is provided to rotate either one of the parts, as desired.
In an alternative arrangement, a top plate is provided with the radial grooves, and a bottom part is provided with the spiral groove.
The dough moulder according to the second aspect of the invention may be mounted in a common frame of dough treatment apparatus in which is also mounted a dough divider which is arranged to divide a hopper supply of dough into a succession of predetermined dough pieces, and to supply such pieces to the dough moulder.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure l is a schematic side illustration of a first embodiment of the invention; and Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of a second embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to Figure 1 of the drawings, there is shown dough treatment apparatus 10 which has a common frame or housing 11 on which is mounted a dough divider 12 and a dough moulder 13.
The dough divider 12 has an inlet hopper 14 which is arranged on the frame 10 to receive a charge of dough via a supply duct 15. The dough divider 12 receives dough from an outlet opening 16 of the hopper 14, and presses the dough into a predetermined dough piece, prior to discharge of the piece from the dough divider 12.
The dough moulder 13 is, as indicated above, also mounted on the frame 11, and is arranged to receive a succession of predetermined dough pieces which are discharged from the dough divider 12. The dough moulder 13 is a rotary dough moulder, and comprises two relatively rotatable parts (described in more detail below) which are arranged to exert a moulding action on each dough piece, prior to discharge of the moulded dough piece from the apparatus.
The construction and operation of the dough divider 12 will now be described in detail. The dough divider 12 has a main chamber 20 which is surmounted by the hopper 14, and which is communicable with the dough in the hopper 14 via the hopper outlet 16. A piston 24 is reciprocable within the main chamber 20, and is driven by a crank 23 and connecting rod 29. The connecting rod 29 may be rigid, or designed to collapse at a predetermined load, which is set either by springs, as shown, or by hydraulic pressure, working in a hydraulic cylinder unit.
A scaling chamber 25 is arranged in a movable body or "back-pocket" 30, and cooperates with the main chamber 20 and piston 24. The measuring pocket 30 is movable between a dough-receiving position as shown in Figure 1, in which the scaling chamber 25 is substantially horizontal, and in registry with the main chamber 20, and a discharge position in which the scaling chamber 25 dough pieces to fall under gravity to be received by the dough moulder 13. In the embodiment illustrated, the back pocket 30 is pivotally mounted on the dough divider 13, for movement through substantially 90" between the receiving and the discharge positions.An ejector mechanism 31 is provided which is arranged to be automatically operated, in order to eject a measured dough peice from the scaling chamber 25, as the back pocket 30 pivots from its receiving position to its discharge position.
During operation of the dough divider 12, a charge of dough is drawn from the hopper 14 through the outlet 16 and into the main chamber 20, when the piston 24 is withdrawn by the connecting rod 29 i.e. when it moves to the right as seen in Figure 1 Movement of the piston 24 in the opposite direction then presses dough from the main chamber 20 into the scaling chamber 25 which, when filled, provides a predetermined amount of dough piece Means may be provided to adjust the quantity of dough which is receivable by the scaling chamber 25. The back pocket 30 is then caused to pivot through 90 , to enable the measured amount of dough piece to be discharged from the dough divider 12 to the dough moulder 13 The motions of the piston 24 and the back pocket 30 are coordinated in a pre-deteremined sequence.
While there has been described above, with reference to Figure 1, an arrangement of back pocket 30 in which there is pivotal motion of about 90" between receiving and discharge positions for dough pieces, it should be understood that this is not the sole means by which dough pieces may be transferred to the rotary dough moulder 13. Thus, though not shown, and by way of example only, there may be an arrangement of scaling chamber 25 and back pocket 30 in which the scaling chamber 25 can be filled and emptied by a vertical straight line reciprocating action.
The construction and operation of the rotary dough moulder 13 will now be described. The dough moulder 13 comprises two relatively rotatable parts, in that it has a tubular inner part 26 and a tubular outer part in the form of drum 27 The inner tubular part 26 is arranged to receive a succession of measured dough pieces which fall under gravity from the dough divider 12 into its interior, and a guide surface 26a is provided in the base of the interior to guide dough pieces downwardly and radially outwardly towards the entry end 28a of a spiral groove 28b which is defined between the outer surface of the inner tubular part 26 and the inner surface of the outer tubular part 27.
In the illustrated embodiment, the spiral groove 28b is provided on the outer surface of the inner tubular part 26 and extends spirally upwards from the entry end 28a to an upper discharge end 28c from which moulded dough pieces can be discharged. The spiral groove 28b is a deep spiral groove on the outer surface of the inner tubular part 26, and the outer tubular part 27 has shallow longitudinally extending grooves on its inner surface to assist the moulding action imparted to the dough pieces by the spiral groove 28b.
Means is provided to impart relative rotation between the inner and outer tubular parts 26, 27, whereby each dough piece which is introduced into the spiral groove 28b via inlet end 28a is subjected to a rotary moulding action, as it is moved upwardly to the discharge end 28c, which forms the pieces into generally ball-shaped dough pieces.
This moulding action is effective, regardless of which of the parts 26, 27 is rotated. As shown schematically in Figure 1, either one of the parts 26, 27 can be rotated, while the non-rotated part will be held stationary. As shown also in Figure 1, a single drive source is provided, namely an electric motor 32, from which drive is transmitted to the moving elements of the dough divider 12 and the dough moulder 13 via respective endless transmissions 33 and 34. Drive is also transmitted via an endless transmission 35 to an input drive 36 of a conveyor 37 which is arranged to receive moulded dough pieces which are discharged from the dough moulder 13, and to transfer such pieces to its discharge end 38 at which the dough pieces can be collected for treatment in further stages of a bakery plant (not shown).
As will be evident from Figure 1, the axis of relative rotation of the tubular parts 26, 27 is substantially vertical, and the spiral groove 28b will function to achieve simultaneous rolling-type moulding action on the dough pieces, as well as upward conveyance from the inlet end 28a to the discharge end 30.
To permit ready cleaning of the dough moulder 13, the latter may be mounted for pivotal movement, at its lower end, about substantially horizontal pivot axis 39,and Figure 1 shows the moulder 13 in dashed-outline in its cleaning position.
The construction of dough treatment apparatus shown in Figure 1 provides a unique assembly of a dough divider (12) and a rotary-type dough moulder (13) in a common frame or housing of the apparatus. An alternative construction is shown in Figure 2, in which there is a different arrangement of rotary dough moulder.
Referring now to Figure 2, parts corresponding with those already described with reference to Figure 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and will not be described in detail again. In Figure 2, the dough moulder is designated gener aliy by reference numeral 40, which is mounted on the frame 11 so as to receive a succession of measured dough pieces (from dough divider 12) which it moulds into generally ball-shaped pieces and simultaneously conveys to a discharge position. However, in this embodiment, the dough pieces are formed, and conveyed, by movement in a generally horizontal plane from a radially inner end of a spiral groove (shaped in the manner of a helical spring) to a radially outer discharge end.
The dough moulder 40 has an inlet opening 41 which receives measured or scaled dough pieces from the dough divider 12, and feeds such pieces via a guide 42 to the radially inner end 43 of the spiral groove 44. The spiral groove 44 is contained in a generally horizontal plane, and therefore takes the form of a helix which extends progressively outwardly from inlet end 43 to a radially outward discharge end 45.
The spiral groove 44 is provided in a first part 46 of the dough moulder 40, and a second part 47 of the dough moulder 40 cooperates with the first part 46 and takes the form of a flat or gently conical bottom plate. The second part 47 has shallow radially extending grooves which cooperate with the deep spiral groove 44 in the first part 46, to promote the simultaneous moulding and conveying action on the dough pieces.
As with the embodiment of Figure 1, means may be provided to drive the first part 46, while the second part 47 is held stationary, or vice versa. In addition, the positions of the parts 46 and 47 may be reversed, so that the part 47 forms a top plate of the assembly, whereas the part 46 (with the spiral groove) forms the base of the assembly.
The embodiment of Figure 2 provides a unique combination of a dough divider (12) and a rotarytype dough moulder (40) in a common frame or housing of a dough treatment apparatus. In addition, the dough moulder per se provides a unique arrangement of spiral groove assembly for moulding and conveying dough pieces, in which the dough pieces are caused to move radially outwardly in a generally horizontal plane, while being subjected to simultaneous moulding and conveying action, prior to discharge from a radially outer end of the dough moulder.
Thus, in both embodiments of the invention, bulk dough is fed into a hopper, and then measured quantities are drawn therefrom by a dough moulder which forms a succession of single measured or scaled dough pieces, for transfer to a dough moulder. Upon ejection of the scaled pieces of dough in succession to the dough moulder, the latter exerts a combined moulding and conveying action on the dough pieces, during which time the internal structure and external finish of the dough pieces are brought to the desired standard, prior to final ejection to outfeed the conveyor 37 which transfers the pieces to further stages in a bakery plant.
