Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a first embodiment showing a main part of a filling and cutting device for food according to the present invention. The basic structure of the filling and cutting device for food of this embodiment is based on the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 63-15119 and 63-48674. The food filling and cutting device of the present embodiment uses, for example, a roughly divided piece of chicken as a food, cuts it into a thin columnar constant volume and shape, and then fries it with clothes as necessary . The food is seasoned in advance, and the bulk food is filled into each mold of the mold member from the pressure feed tube, divided as necessary, and the divided filled food is cut out.

  Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a bottom plate made of a rectangular thick steel plate, and a plurality of extraction holes 6 are formed at equal intervals along both sides of the short side, that is, two long sides. A flat portion 9 is formed in the middle, that is, at the center of the short side. Although the shape of each extraction hole 6 will be described in detail later, it penetrates up and down the bottom plate 1, and each side surface has a shape that spreads downward. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the plan view of the extraction hole 6 has an elliptical shape in which the short side direction (width direction) of the bottom plate 1 is long. The bottom plate 1 is fixed. A belt conveyor 10 is laid below the bottom plate 1 and moves along the arrow A direction in the drawing, that is, the short side direction of the bottom plate 1.

  Reference numeral 2 in the drawing is a formwork member placed on the bottom plate 1. The formwork member 2 is also made of a thick steel plate, like the bottom plate 1, but has a rectangular shape that is narrower than the bottom plate 1. That is, the length of the long side is the same as that of the bottom plate 1, and the short side is short. Then, the mold member 2 is placed on the bottom plate 1 so that the long sides or the short sides of the two are aligned. The formwork member 2 is reciprocated along an arrow BB direction in the drawing, that is, along a short side direction of the bottom plate 1 by an actuator (not shown). Similarly to the bottom plate 1, the mold member 2 is formed with two rows of the same number of mold frames 5 as the extraction holes 6 along both sides of the short side, that is, two long sides. . These molds 5 are set according to the cut shape of the bulk food fed from the pressure feed tube as described above, and in this embodiment, the cut shape of the bulk food made of chicken or the like is an elliptical column shape. The shape of each mold 5 was an elliptical hole.

  Reference numeral 3 in the figure is a slide cutter placed on the mold member 2. The slide cutter 3 is formed of a rectangular thin steel plate having a width narrower and longer than that of the mold member 2, and the slide cutter 3 is placed on the mold member 2 so that the long sides of both are aligned. Place. The slide cutter 3 is reciprocated along an arrow CC direction in the drawing, that is, a long side direction of the mold member 2 by an actuator (not shown). Further, the slide cutter 3 has the same number of elliptical holes 7 as the molds 5 formed at equal intervals in the center in the width direction, and the peripheral part of the elliptical hole 7 is a lump of food made of chicken or the like. A cutting blade for cutting is formed.

  Reference numeral 4 in the drawing is a pusher provided above the take-out hole 6 of the bottom plate 1. The pushers 4 are provided above the respective take-out holes 6 by the same number as the take-out holes 6 and are reciprocated in the direction indicated by the arrow DD in FIG. The pusher 4 above the take-out hole 6 in each row is reciprocated up and down simultaneously for each row. Note that a small amount of water and air are ejected from the pusher 4 during the downward movement so that no blocky food such as chicken meat sticks.

  Specific actions of the bottom plate 1, the formwork member 2, the slide cutter 3 and the pusher 4 are shown in FIGS. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the bottoms of the left-side molds 5 of the mold member 2 are closed by the flat portion 9 of the bottom plate 1, the right-side molds 5 of the mold member 2 are illustrated. Is opened (not closed) in the extraction holes 6 in the right-hand row of the bottom plate 1 shown in the figure. In this state, the molds 5 in the left column of the mold member 2 shown in the figure and the elliptical hole 7 of the slide cutter 3 are combined, and the bulk food material F such as chicken is sent from the pressure feed tube 13 to the left of the mold member 2 shown in the figure. It fills in each form 5 of a row. At that time, if there is food F filled in the molds 5 in the right column of the mold member 2 shown in the figure, the pushers 4 in the right column of the figure are moved downward to show the right side of the mold member 2 in the figure. The food material F in the molds 5 in the parallel row is extruded downward and taken out, for example, on the belt conveyor 10. During the process of taking out the food material F, the food material F is filled into the molds 5 in the left column of the mold member 2 shown in the figure. Thereafter, the slide cutter 3 is moved in the direction of the arrow CC in FIG. The food material F in the mold 5 is separated from the food material F in the pumping tube 13.

  In this way, when the food F is taken out from the molds 5 in the right-hand row of the mold member 2 shown in the drawing and filled with the food F in the left-hand molds 5 in the drawing, and divided as necessary, the mold member 2 is moved in the direction of arrow BB in FIG. 1, and the bottoms of the molds 5 in the illustrated right row of the mold members 2 are closed by the flat portion 9 of the bottom plate 1 as shown in FIG. The bottoms of the molds 5 in the illustrated left row of the mold members 2 are opened (not closed) in the extraction holes 6 in the illustrated left column of the bottom plate 1. In this state, this time, the mold 5 in the right-hand row of the mold member 2 and the elliptic hole 7 of the slide cutter 3 are combined, and the block food F such as chicken is fed from the pressure feed tube 13 to the mold member 2. Are filled into the molds 5 in the right-hand column of FIG. At this time, since the food F is filled in the molds 5 in the left column of the mold member 2 shown in the figure, the pushers 4 in the left column of the figure are moved downward, and the mold members 2 The food material F in the mold 5 in the left row shown in the figure is pushed downward and taken out, for example, on the belt conveyor 10. During this time, the food F is filled in the molds 5 in the right-hand side of the mold member 2 shown in the figure, and then the slide cutter 3 is moved in the direction of arrow CC in FIG. F is separated from the food material F in the pressure feeding tube 13, and then the mold member 2 is moved in the direction of arrow BB in FIG. 1 to return to the state shown in FIG. The food material F filled in 5 can be continuously cut out.

  By the way, one of the important management items of this kind of food filling and cutting device is, for example, the form of the food cut out by the belt conveyor 10. As in the conventional food material cutting device described above, the cut food material must have a constant volume and a constant shape, that is, the volume must be constant and the shape must be constant (stable). The constant volume / constant shape of the cut out food is affected by the filling process of the food into the mold 5 and the removal of the food filled in the mold 5 onto the belt conveyor 10. .

  When the ingredients filled in the mold 5 are taken out onto the belt conveyor 10, the ingredients are inevitably dropped, so if the ingredients are soft, the shape collapses and drops when the ingredients fall onto the belt conveyor 10. Problems arise in shape. Therefore, it is better that the food material filled in the mold 5 is hard. However, if a hard food is used, the flexibility is poor, so that it is difficult to fill the mold 5 with the food, and there is a problem in both constant shape and constant volume.

  On the other hand, the shape of the take-out hole 6 is the same as that of the mold 5 in order to improve the regular shape of the food material that is originally cut out. However, since the hard food is poor in smoothness, when the food is cut out from the mold 5, the cut food sticks to the side of the take-out hole 6, and as a result, the food falls obliquely and loses its shape. Become angry. In addition, chunky ingredients such as chicken contain parts that are difficult to break, such as streaks and skins, and if they remain in the take-out hole 6, the ingredients cut out will stick together, and as a result, the ingredients are slanted. There is also the problem of falling and losing shape.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to solve the problem of the filling process of the foodstuff into the mold 5, an air vent that communicates with the outside from the mold 5 is formed. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the take-out holes 6 formed in two rows, the sliding direction of the mold member 2 with respect to the bottom plate 1, that is, relative sliding of the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2. A groove 8 is formed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1, that is, on the joint surface with the mold member 2 only between the take-out holes 6 adjacent in the (sliding) direction. As a rule, the groove 8 is only one on the straight line connecting the centers of the extraction holes 6, and the cross section of the groove 8 is a semicircular cross section. Therefore, the formation direction of the groove 8 coincides with the sliding (sliding) direction between the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2 described above. As a result, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 4 b, even if the mold 5 of the mold member 2 is closed by the flat portion 9 of the bottom plate 1, the groove 8 formed as an air vent communicates with the take-out hole 6. For this reason, the mold 5 communicates with the outside, and the air in the mold 5 is released to the outside. The number of grooves 8 is not limited to one, and a plurality of grooves 8 may be formed.

  As a result of intensive studies on the cause of difficulty in filling hard food materials into the mold 5, the present inventors left air in the mold 5 due to the lack of flexibility of the hard foods, and this increased. It was found that the filling of the ingredients into the mold 5 was hindered. In general, it is generally considered that the mold 5 is sealed as much as possible, but this has been a cause of hindering the filling of hard food. The groove 8 formed rather positively as the air vent makes it possible to compensate for the lack of flexibility of the hard food material, so that the hard food material can be filled in the mold 5 in a short time, and has a fixed shape. It is possible to improve the property and constant volume.

Regarding the cross-sectional shape of the groove 8, as a result of various trials, the cross section was a semicircular cross section, and the diameter of the circle was 0.5 mm to 3 mm, preferably 0.9 mm to 1.5 mm, and currently 0.9 mm. When evaluated by the cross-sectional area, it becomes 0.098mm ² ~3.53mm ^2. As a critical significance of the diameter of the semicircular cross section, if the diameter is less than 0.5 mm, it practically lacks the function of removing air when filling the food, and if it exceeds 3 mm, the meat juice of meat such as chicken or the groove 8 There is a lot of loss to the inside. That is, by setting the diameter of the groove 8 having a semicircular cross section to 0.5 mm to 3 mm, it is possible to achieve both the escape of air from the mold 5 and the prevention of the food material from being pushed into the groove 8. In addition, the semicircular cross-sectional shape of the groove 8 is easy to process, and cleaning of the groove 8 is easy.

  In addition to forming a groove 8 having a semicircular cross-sectional shape as an air vent on the joint surface of the mold member 2 of the bottom plate 1 along the sliding direction of the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2, there are several other methods. There are benefits. First, even if meat juice or a piece of food such as chicken remains in the groove 8, the food remaining in the groove 8 during the reciprocating motion of the mold member 2, that is, the reciprocating motion of the mold 5. Can be recovered together with the ingredients in the mold 5 or the mold 5 again. Thereby, the collection | recovery efficiency of the foodstuffs which remain | survived in the groove | channel 8 improves.

  In addition, as for the mold member 2, it is necessary to prepare as many molds 5 as the required shape of the food after cutting, as many as the required shape of the food after cutting. It suffices to prepare as much as it does not interfere with the food from which the take-out hole 6 is cut out, and in an extreme case, it is possible to handle all the formwork members 2 by one. Then, the versatility with respect to the formwork member 2 of the various formwork 5 increases by using the baseplate 1 in which the groove | channel 8 as said air vent was formed. Further, as described above, the groove 8 having a semicircular cross-sectional shape is easy to process, and the inside of the groove 8 is easy to clean.

  Further, providing the air vent groove 8 in the bottom plate 1 causes the foodstuff to remain in the groove 8 as described above, but in this embodiment, the extraction holes formed in two rows in the bottom plate 1. 6, the groove 8 serving as an air vent is formed only between the take-out holes 6 adjacent to each other in the sliding direction of the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2, so that the amount of food remaining in the groove 8 can be reduced as much as possible. It is also possible to reduce the amount of food remaining in the groove 8 into the mold 5 and improve the recovery rate.

  5 to 8 show other various embodiments of the filling and cutting device for foods of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment in which the semicircular cross-sectional groove 8 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is formed on the lower surface of the mold member 2, that is, the joint surface with the bottom plate 1. In this embodiment, among the molds 5 formed in two rows on the mold member 2, a groove as an air vent is provided only between the molds 5 adjacent to each other in the sliding direction of the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2. 8 was formed. In this embodiment, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained, but since the groove 8 as the air vent is opened downward, the food remaining in the groove 8 is easily dropped, and accordingly, Although there is a possibility that the recovery efficiency is lowered, in the case of the hard food as described above, since the smoothness is poor, there is no fear that a large amount of the food remaining in the groove 8 will fall.

  FIG. 6 is a third embodiment in which the semicircular cross-sectional groove 8 of the first embodiment is formed on the upper surface of the mold member 2, that is, the joint surface with the slide cutter 3. Also in this embodiment, among the molds 5 formed in two rows on the mold member 2, the groove 8 as an air vent is provided only between the molds 5 adjacent to each other in the sliding direction of the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2. Formed. In this embodiment, unlike the first and second embodiments, the effect of collecting the food remaining in the groove 8 in the mold 5 again cannot be expected, but the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2 By forming the groove 8 as an air vent only between the molds 5 adjacent to each other in the sliding direction, the air in the mold 5 can be discharged to improve the filling property of the ingredients into the mold 5. As a result, it becomes possible to fill the mold 5 with a hard food material in a short time, to improve the constant volume property / constant shape property, and to reduce the amount of the food material remaining in the groove 8. The amount can be reduced as much as possible.

  FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment in which the semicircular cross-sectional groove 8 of the first embodiment is formed on the lower surface of the slide cutter 3, that is, the joint surface with the mold member 2. In this embodiment, grooves 8 are formed so as to pass through the center of the elliptical hole 7 of the slide cutter 3 described above and penetrate from both ends to both ends in the width direction of the slide cutter 3 (in practice, the elliptical hole 7 The groove 8 is not formed in the part). In this embodiment, the air in the mold 5 can be discharged to improve the filling property of the food in the mold 5, and as a result, the hard food can be filled in the mold 5 in a short time. It becomes possible to improve the constant volume property and the fixed shape property.

FIG. 8 shows a fifth embodiment in which a communication hole 11 is formed between the molds 5 adjacent to each other in the sliding direction of the bottom plate 1 and the mold member 2, and this is used as an air vent. According to this embodiment, the air in the mold 5 can be discharged and the filling property of the food into the mold 5 can be improved. As a result, the hard food can be put into the mold 5 in a short time. Thus, it is possible to improve the regular shape and the constant volume.
As these comparative examples, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, when a plurality of small holes H penetrating vertically are formed in the flat portion 9 of the bottom plate 1, and this is used as an air vent, It turned out that the meat broth and pieces of food fall down. Of course, if the broth or piece of food material falls in this way, it is inefficient and has a problem in terms of hygiene.

  Next, in order to solve the problem of the process of taking out the ingredients filled in the mold 5 onto the belt conveyor 10, in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. Thus, by making the side surface shape of the extraction hole 6 downward, the food material is less likely to stick to the side surface of the extraction hole 6 when the food material in the mold 5 is taken out downward, and thus the food material is cut out. It is possible to prevent the food material from falling obliquely and prevent the collapse of the shape and the distorted shape, thereby improving the fixed shape. In addition, the angle of the side surface of the extraction hole 6 was set to 20 ° to 80 °, desirably 30 ° to 50 ° with respect to the horizontal plane, and is currently set to 40 °.

  Further, the side surface shape of the take-out hole 6 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, so that the extracted food material is less likely to stick to the side surface of the take-out hole 6. It is possible to prevent the food material cut out by slanting from falling obliquely, thereby preventing the collapse of the shape and the distorted shape, thereby improving the fixed shape. Further, by adopting such a configuration, there is an advantage that a portion that is difficult to be divided, such as a streak or a skin, which will be described later, does not easily stick to the side surface of the extraction hole 6.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, by forming a cutting blade at the upper end corner of the take-out hole 6, it is possible to cut portions that are difficult to cut off such as streaks and skin contained in a lump-like food material such as chicken, and the take-out holes 6 By suppressing the remaining on the surface, it is possible to prevent the cut-out food material from falling obliquely, thereby preventing the collapse of the shape and the distorted shape, thereby improving the fixed shape.
In the above-described embodiment, for example, the mold 5 and the extraction hole 6 are formed on a one-to-one basis. However, for example, as illustrated in FIG. When the mold 5 is moved to the hole 12, the food material in the mold 5 may be taken out downward. Furthermore, when this is promoted, when filling the mold 5 with food, the bottom of the mold 5 must be closed by the bottom plate 1, but when the food in the mold 5 is taken out downward. If the bottom of the mold 5 is simply not closed by the bottom plate 1.

  That is, since the foodstuff filled in the mold 5 should just be taken out when it deviates from the baseplate 1, in the invention which concerns on Claim 1 among this invention, the taking-out hole is not necessarily required. In such a case, in order to cut the food remaining in the groove formed as the air vent, the side surface in the width direction of the bottom plate 1 may be widened and a cutting blade may be formed at the upper end corner.

Moreover, the shape of the groove | channel 8 or hole formed as an air vent is not limited to the above, For example, all shapes, such as a semi-elliptical arc cross section, a square cross section, and a trapezoid cross section, are applicable. Further, the number of grooves and holes as the air vent is not limited to the above.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it aimed at blocky foodstuffs, such as chicken, the foodstuff filled in the formwork 5 and cut out is not limited to this, For example, kneaded foodstuffs, such as a hamburger patty It can be applied to all kinds of foods, such as surimi, seafood surimi, rice and bread dough.
