[0025] Note that G in FIGS. 1 to 6, shows a carry-out conveyor dumpling a ₁ which is disposed forwardly of the forming mold A, the mold A open state, the pressing die 2 and the substantially equal height It is arranged at the same time.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. First, on the intermittent conveyor B for leather transport, the hole 2
The gyoza skin a is placed in line with 5a. Then
The intermittent conveyor B for skin transport is intermittently rotated so that the skin a is intermittently transported to below the piston 36 in the skin depressing and filling mechanism C, and is stopped and held. At this time, the mold A is held in the open state as shown in FIG.

Next, when the drive source 39 is started, it is in communication with the inside of the hopper 27, and the components are inserted into the insertion holes 29a.
When the rotor 29 is rotated by 90 degrees from the position where it is inserted into the hopper 27 and the communication with the inside of the hopper 27 is cut off, the measuring piston 28 moves forward and the material of the insertion hole 29a is removed from the nozzle 3.
And extruded into the filling case 34. Next, as the piston 36 is pushed down by the drive mechanism 40, the lower end of the piston 36 causes the leather a on the leather transport intermittent conveyor B to pass through the leather pressing holes 25a and 20a as shown in FIG. At the same time as being pressed down and supplied to the center of the mold A, a predetermined amount of the material b is filled and supplied to the center of the upper surface of the skin a. In addition, by setting the forward stroke of the measuring piston 28 arbitrarily, the filling and supply amount of the ingredient b can be arbitrarily adjusted.

Next, the measuring piston 28 and the rotor 2
9 and the piston 36 return to their original positions, and
It is prepared for pressing down and filling ingredients.

Next, the two eccentric cams 47, 5
Due to the rotation in the predetermined direction, one operating plate 43 is retracted via the driving plates 46 and 50, the other operating plate 48 is advanced, and the receiving die 1 and the pressing die 2 rotate from the horizontal position in the opened state and rise. , Are closed oppositely. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the peripheral portion of the skin a
Is pressed by the peripheral portion of the pressing die 2, so that the peripheral portions of the skin 1 are pressed against each other, and at the same time, a fold (not shown) is formed, thereby forming a gyoza with a vignette.

Next, the eccentric cams 47 and 51 are rotated by a predetermined angle in a predetermined direction, so that the receiving die 1 and the pressing die 2 are shown in FIG. 6 via the driving plates 46 and 50 and the operating plates 43 and 48. The gyro pushing mechanism D is operated by a driving mechanism (not shown).

[0031] That is, the rod 41 and the pusher 41a in the dumpling pushing mechanism D is advanced as shown in FIG. 6, place the dumpling a ₁ to the pusher 41a upper surface through the opening 1c of the receiving mold 1, further advanced in this state Then, it is extruded forward and extruded and supplied onto the gyobi unloading conveyor G. After dumpling a ₁ Extrusion rod 41, the pusher 41a is retracted, and stops and returns to its original position, ready for the next dumplings extrusion.

By repeating the above operation intermittently, the molding of the gyoza a ₁ and its extrusion to the next step can be performed automatically.

[0033]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, a turntable and a guide rail are not required as in the conventional example, and only one molding die is required. The weight can be reduced, there is no failure, and the transportation is convenient.

Furthermore, the skin pressing and filling mechanism can automatically and accurately supply the skin to the forming die and the filling and feeding of the raw material to the upper surface of the skin, so that the size and shape are constant. In addition, it is possible to mold high quality gyoza with good shape, and take out the gyoza molded with the mold with the simple open of the mold with one simple pusher, quickly and without deformation. The next step, for example, the supply onto the unloading conveyor, can be automatically and easily performed.
