Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an octopus grilling facility for dissolving wheat flour in water and wrapping the ingredients in a dough for firing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A general handmade method of octopus grilling is to put seeds in which wheat flour is dissolved in water into a heated spherical baking mold to make a lower dough, and then put chopped octopus on it.
In addition, after adding ingredients such as tempura and chopped cabbage, add an appropriate amount of seeds again to make an upper dough, and bake it into a spherical shape while checking the baking condition while returning it with an awl for octopus grilling.

Takoyaki is mass-produced by a production line that automates such a process.

For example, in the automatic octopus baking device described in Japanese Patent No. 2502237, the lower dough is moved to the oil-coated baking mold which is moved by the conveyor chain by the lower dough pouring device, the ingredient feeding device and the upper dough pouring device, Octopus pieces, tempura,
Vegetables and top dough are put in order and passed through the baking device at a constant speed, during which the octopus grill is baked, and the baking mold containing the baked octopus grill is sent to the automatic take-out device to take out the octopus grill.

Further, in the octopus baking apparatus described in Japanese Patent No. 2807158, an open baking mold having a recess having a substantially U-shaped cross-section that is cyclically transferred on a loop-shaped endless transfer path, and in the middle of the transfer path. A tunnel oven that heats and bakes the liquid dough injected into it together with the baking mold, an automatic oiling means that applies oil to the baking mold before feeding the dough, and a baking mold in which a fixed amount of liquid dough is preheated In the food baking apparatus equipped with automatic dough feeding means for pouring into the recess of the oven, the open baking mold is capable of 180 degree forward rotation and reverse return, respectively, and the baking mold forward rotation / reversal means is provided inside the oven. A food pressing die having a substantially inverted bowl-shaped die body in which an air venting means is provided above the baking die on the lower side of the baking die forward rotation / inversion means is vertically movable.

[0006]

However, in the automatic octopus grilling apparatus described in Japanese Patent No. 2502237, octopus grilling is performed in a bell shape, which is different from the hand-cooked spherical octopus grilling. However, consumers prefer the beautiful, fluffy and soft mouthfeel of the spherical octopus grill obtained by traditional hand-baking to the mass-produced fishing bell-shaped octopus grill.

Further, the octopus grilling apparatus described in Japanese Patent No. 2807158 is pressed into a spherical shape by pressing it with a holding die having an air bleeding means in the baking method, so that it has a fluffy and soft mouthfeel like hand-baked octopus grilling. I can't get good octopus.

Further, since the baking mold is fixed to the conveyor in any of the devices, the device becomes complicated, and there is a problem that the baking mold cannot be easily replaced when changing the size of octopus baking. In addition, the firing device is an oven-type atmosphere heating that surrounds the whole,
There was a drawback that the thermal efficiency was not good.

Therefore, the present invention is capable of continuously and automatically producing a fluffy and soft spherical takoyaki which is similar to hand-cooked octopus yaki, and at the same time can easily replace the baking template. It provides manufacturing facilities.

[0010]

It should be noted that the traveling speed of the delivery device 25 is set higher than the moving speed of the template transfer conveyor 11 so that the template 15 can be continuously operated without being affected by the reversal / reverse reversal and the lowering of the template 15. Set.

The octopus grilling copying device 8 shown in FIG. 4 may be provided to shape the octopus into a spherical shape, and is provided with a cylinder 8a having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the octopus grilled up and down by the cylinder, and the cylinder 8a is lowered. By inserting overlapping takoyaki into the cylinder by inversion, the takoyaki is guided by the inner surface of the cylinder 8a and follows, and the misaligned spherical takoyaki is aligned and shaped into a spherical shape. In the present invention, since the stacked hemispherical takoyaki is not compressed, it is finished softly.

FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the firing apparatus used in the present invention.

The primary-side and secondary-side firing devices 6 and 9 consist of a hood 29 that covers the upper portion of the baking template transport conveyor 11 and has an open lower portion. The hood 29 is a refractory heat insulating material 30.
It consists of. Combustion burners 31 are arranged so as to sandwich the baking pattern plates 15 conveyed by the baking pattern plate conveyer 11 from above and below. A flue 32 is connected to an upper portion of the firing devices 6 and 9, an exhaust fan 33 is connected for exhaust, and a damper 34 for adjusting an exhaust amount is provided. An exhaust amount adjusting shutter 35 for adjusting the exhaust amount of each block of the firing devices 6 and 9 is provided. Reference numeral 12 is a baking plate returning conveyor 12 arranged below the hood 29.

The firing apparatus of the present invention can reduce the fuel consumption rate to half or less of that of the conventional one by firing in an oven type composed of a heat insulating material. In addition, compared to the conventional heating method, the die has an energy saving effect by adding heat insulation effect and exhaust control.

In the baking apparatus according to the present invention, compared with the conventional oven type apparatus which encloses the whole body and cannot be crispy due to the heating of the atmosphere, by introducing the outside air from the lower part, the heating power becomes large and the Parist can be baked.

[0039]

According to the present invention, it is possible to continuously and automatically produce a spherical takoyaki which has a fluffy and soft texture similar to a hand-cooked takoyaki.

Further, since the baking template which can be separately connected is used, the baking template can be easily replaced even when the size of octopus baking is changed.
