Abstract
A method for making a cake which has nut pieces evenly spread on the outer surface comprises batter preparation, batter moulding, baking, nut piece spreading and packaging steps. The nut piece spreading step is performed using a spreading apparatus which comprises a vibratory hopper 21, 22 for depositing nut pieces on a conveyor 31. The conveyor conveys the pieces from a receiving end to a distribution end. A first rotating roller 32 is situated above the conveyor for levelling the nut pieces on the conveyor. A second rotating roller 41 is situated towards the distribution end, and includes teeth (not shown) for sweeping the nut pieces off the distribution end and onto the baked cakes (not shown). A sensor 51 provided towards the receiving end of the conveyor senses the height of nut pieces deposited on the conveyor, and outputs a signal to a controller (not shown). In use, the controller controls the vibratory hopper, first and second rollers based on the detected amount of nut pieces on the conveyor in order to achieve even spreading of nuts on the baked cakes. The baking step may take place in a tri zone oven.
Description

In the present invention, with egg, flour and so forth as main ingredients, the cake is made after batter preparation, molding, baking and other steps; nut pieces are spread on the cake surface to add flavor and nutrition to the cake. When spreading nut pieces, a vibrating and flattening ingredient spreading device is used to spread the ingredients. The first roller enables the nut pieces on the first conveyor belt to be transferred backwards in a flattened manner; at this time, the first conveyor belt transfers the flattened nut pieces to the second roller evenly. Under the action of the serrated silicon sheets of the second roller, the nut pieces are spread evenly on the cakes at the cake production line. The degree of automation is high.

The first roller driven by the first driving device flattens the nut pieces fell on the belt of the first conveyor belt. At this time, the control device controls the second driving device and the first conveyor belt to stop operation. When the detecting electric eye detects presence of nut pieces and the height of the nut pieces has not reached the pre-set height of the detecting electric eye, the control device still controls the vibrating discharging device and the first driving device to continue operation, so that the nut pieces continues to fall on the first conveyor belt connected to the discharge end of the vibrating discharging device. At this time, the second driving device and the first conveyor belt still stop operation. Here, as the discharge opening of the discharge end of the vibrating discharging device is larger, within a short time there will be more nut pieces falling on the first conveyor belt. Therefore, when the detecting electric eye detects presence of nut pieces and the height of the nut pieces is higher than the pre-set height of the electric detecting eye, the detecting electric eye closes the circuit and transmits an electric signal to the control device; the control device controls the vibrating discharging device connected at its output end to stop operation while the first driving device continues operation, and at the same time it controls the second driving device and the first conveyor belt connected at its output ends to start operation. As a result of further transfer by the first conveyor belt, the flattened nut pieces fell on the upper belt of the first conveyor belt is transferred towards the discharge end of the first conveyor belt. The second roller is located above the discharge end of the first conveyor belt, and the second driving device drives the second roller with the plurality of elastic members to rotate and convey, thereby sweeping out the nut pieces on the discharge end of the first conveyor belt. As two adjacent rows of silicon sheets (i.e. elastic members) have teeth arranged in staggered manner, so that during spreading of ingredients the nut pieces could be evenly spread on the cake surface.

In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
A method for making a cake with even spreading of ingredients comprises the following steps:
(1) Batter preparation: Measure 8 weight portions of flour, 3 weight portions of egg, 0.9 weight portions of white sugar, 0.3 weight portions of sorbitol solution, 0.02 weight portions of xanthan gum, 0.02 weight portions of fine salt, 0.04 weight portions of baking powder, 0.65 weight portions of maltose syrup, 0.85 weight portions of maltitol, 0.51 weight portions of palm oil, 1.8 weight portions of low-gluten flour and 0.2 weight portions of com starch; mix evenly and pour into a blender for rapid mixing for 5-7min at a mixing speed of 200r/min; all ingredients in the batter are evenly mixed; the batter is glossy and the batter has a weight portion of 0.6-0.75. The weight portion of the batter is equal to the weight of a cup of batter I a cup of water. The batter is formed after completion of mixing and stirring. Put the batter into a hopper for further use;
(2) Molding: Convey the prepared batter to a molding hopper by a conveying mechanism, and pour the batter into a mold tray arranged at a corresponding position according to a pre-set blank weight requirement;
(3) Baking: The mold tray poured with the batter is transferred into a tunnel oven through a conveyor belt, wherein the tunnel oven comprises three zones which are sequentially connected, namely a first zone, a second zone and a third zone. The mold tray poured with the batter is transferred in the tunnel oven passing through the three zones by a mesh belt sequentially at a uniform speed. Each of the zones has same length, so the mold tray poured with the batter is baked for the same time in each of the zones. The first zone has a baking temperature set to 155-170°C; the second zone has a baking temperature set to 168-183°C; the third zone has a baking temperature set to 150-170°C. The transfer time of the mold tray poured with the batter in the tunnel oven,
i.e. the baking time is 14 ~ 15min. A cake blank is then formed;
(4) Spreading of nut pieces: The baked cake blank after removing from the oven is cooled and transferred into an ingredient spreading area, where a vibrating and flattening ingredient spreading device is used for spreading nut pieces;
(5) Packaging: The cake blank spread with nut pieces then undergoes packaging.
In Step (4), as shown in FIGs. 1-4, the vibrating and flattening ingredient spreading device comprises a frame 10 on which a vibrating discharging device, an ingredient flattening and processing device and an automatic ingredient spreading device are mounted. A detecting electric eye 51 is mounted on the frame 10 corresponding to a feeding end portion of the ingredient flattening and processing device for detecting the height of the ingredients falling on the ingredient flattening and processing device. A control device 70 is also mounted on the frame 10 for controlling operation of each of the aforementioned devices;
The ingredient flattening and processing device comprises a first conveyor belt 31 engaging with a discharge end of the vibrating discharging device, a first roller 32 for flattening ingredients on the first conveyor belt 31, and a first driving device for driving the first roller 32 to rotate; the first roller 32 is perpendicular to a conveying direction of the first conveyor 31 and mounted on the frame 10 horizontally; the first roller 32 is located above the first conveyor belt 31; the first roller 32 and the first driving device are drivingly connected;
The automatic ingredient spreading device comprises a second roller 41 having a rotating direction opposite from that of the first roller 32, and a second driving device for driving the second roller 41 to rotate; the second roller 41 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 31 and mounted on the frame 10 horizontally; the second roller 41 is located above a discharge end of the first conveyor belt 31; a plurality rows of elastic members 42 are mounted on the second roller 41 at intervals axially along the second roller 41 for sweeping out ingredients on the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 31; the second driving device and the second roller 41 are drivingly connected;
The detecting electric eye 51 is connected to an input end of the control device 70; the driving motor 311 of the first conveyor belt 31, the first driving device and the second driving device are electrically connected with corresponding output ends of the control device 70 respectively.
In the above, more specifically, as the discharge opening of the discharge end of the vibrating discharging device is larger, within a short time there will be more nut pieces falling on the first conveyor belt 31. The elastic members 42 are serrated silicon sheets; two adjacent rows of silicon sheets have teeth arranged in staggered manner. The teeth arranged in staggered manner could better spread the nut pieces to attain even spreading.
In the present invention, the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 31 is the front direction, where the direction opposite thereto is the rear direction. More specifically, the rotating direction of the first roller 32 and the rotating direction of the conveying roller of the first conveyor belt 31 are the same to continuously push the nut pieces on the first conveyor belt 31 backwards. As the first conveyor belt 31 continues to convey the nut pieces thereon forwards, the first roller 32 is able to automatically flatten the nut pieces without fixedly crushing the nut pieces on the first conveyor belt 31. Therefore, jamming caused by excess pressure resulting from fixedly crushing of the nut pieces on the first conveyor belt 31 by the first roller 32 would not occur. The rotating direction of the second roller 41 is opposite to the rotation direction of the conveying roller of the first conveyor belt 31, so as to evenly spread out the nut pieces on the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 31. The nut pieces are prevented from automatically dropping from the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 31 due to their own weight without passing through the second roller 41, and so the nut pieces would be evenly spread out as expected.
Preferably, the vibrating discharging device comprises a hopper 21 and a vibration motor 22; the vibration motor 22 is mounted on the hopper 21; the vibration motor 22 is electrically connected with a corresponding output end of the control device 70.
Preferably, the first driving device comprises a sprocket drive mechanism (not shown in the figures) and a first motor 33; the first motor 33 has an output shaft which is drivingly connected with the sprocket drive mechanism; and the sprocket drive mechanism and the first roller 32 are drivingly connected; the driving motor 311 of the first conveyor belt 31 and the first motor 33 are connected with corresponding output ends of the control device 70 respectively. The second driving device comprises a second motor 43; the second motor 43 has an output shaft which is drivingly connected with the second roller 41; the second motor 43 is electrically connected with corresponding output end of the control device 70. The first motor 33 and the second motor 43 are both step motors or servo motors.
More preferably, the detecting electric eye 51 is a photoelectric switch, and the photoelectric switch is connected to an input end of the control device 70. The detecting electric eye 51 may also be a photoelectric sensor.
In the present invention, a Human-Computer Interaction module 60 is also mounted on the frame 10; the Human-Computer Interaction module 60 is bi-directionally connected with the control device 70.
In the present invention, the control device 70 may be in form of conventional control device and controls the operation of the vibration motor 22, the first conveyor belt 31, the first motor 33 and the second motor 43 in conventional control manner.
For ease of description, the position as shown in FIG. 3 is the reference position. The first conveyor belt 31 has a belt which is divided into an upper belt and a lower belt; the first roller 32 is located above a middle portion of the upper belt; a gap between the first roller 32 and the upper belt is larger than a gap between the second roller 41 and the upper belt.
In the present invention, the vibrating and flattening ingredient spreading device spreads the ingredients as follows:
Adjust the gap between the second roller 41 and the upper belt according to the amount of the pre-spread nut pieces, thereby controlling the density and thickness of the spread nut pieces. The density and thickness of the spread nut pieces are not limited by the present invention, and may vary to suit consumers’ preferences. Put the nut pieces into the hopper 21. The state where the vibrating and flattening ingredient spreading device just starts operation but has not yet started spreading nut pieces is the initial state. In the initial state, the control device 70 is controlled by the Human-Computer Interaction module 60 to activate operation of the vibrating and flattening ingredient spreading device.
In the initial state, when the detecting electric eye 51 fails to detect presence of nut pieces, the control device 70 controls the operation of the vibrating discharging device and the first driving device, so that the nut pieces automatically fall from the vibrating discharging device to the first conveyor belt 31 connected to the discharge end thereof. The first roller 32 driven by the first driving device flattens the nut pieces fell on the belt of the first conveyor belt 31. At this time, the control device 70 controls the second driving device and the first conveyor belt 31 to stop operation.
During operation, when the detecting electric eye 51 detects presence of nut pieces and the height of the nut pieces has not reached the pre-set height of the detecting electric eye 51, the control device 70 still controls the vibrating discharging device and the first driving device to continue operation, so that the nut pieces continues to fall on the first conveyor belt 31 connected to the discharge end of the vibrating discharging device. At this time, the second driving device and the first conveyor belt 31 still stop operation. Here, as the discharge opening of the discharge end of the vibrating discharging device is larger, within a short time there will be more nut pieces falling on the first conveyor belt 31. Therefore, when the detecting electric eye 51 detects presence of nut pieces and the height of the nut pieces is higher than the pre-set height of the detecting electric eye 51, the detecting electric eye 51 closes the circuit and transmits an electric signal to the control device 70; the control device 70 controls the vibrating discharging device connected at its output end to stop operation while the first driving device continues operation, and at the same time it controls the second driving device and the first conveyor belt 31 connected at its output ends to start operation. As a result of further transfer by the first conveyor belt 31, the flattened nut pieces fell on the upper belt of the first conveyor belt 31 are transferred towards the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 31. The second roller 41 is located above the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 31, and the second driving device drives the second roller 41 with the plurality of elastic members 42 to rotate and convey, thereby sweeping out the nut pieces on the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 31. As two adjacent rows of silicon sheets (i.e. elastic members 42) have teeth arranged in staggered manner, so that during spreading of ingredients the nut pieces could be evenly spread on the cake surface.
In the present invention, with egg, flour and so forth as main ingredients, the cake is made after batter preparation, molding, baking and other steps; nut pieces are spread on the cake surface to add flavor and nutrition to the cake. When spreading nut pieces, a vibrating and flattening ingredient spreading device is used to spread the ingredients. The first roller 32 enables the nut pieces on the first conveyor belt 31 to be transferred backwards in a flattened manner; at this time, the first conveyor belt 31 transfers the flattened nut pieces to the second roller 41 evenly. Under the action of the serrated silicon sheets of the second roller 41, the nut pieces are spread evenly on the cakes at the cake production line. The degree of automation is high. Manual operation is eliminated by automatic control of the control device 70 on the frame 10, thus saving costs. In the step of spreading nut pieces of the present invention, the nut pieces can be evenly spread on the cake surface, and the occurrence of jamming, sticking, piling up and shortage of ingredients can be effectively avoided when spreading the nut pieces, thus improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
The above embodiments do not limit the composition and manufacturing method of the present invention; suitable changes made by those skilled in the art should not be considered as departing from the scope of the present invention.
