Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for forming a sprout ball for efficiently providing sushi that has been applied to a plate, for example, two by two using a sushi robot for rotating sushi.

  In recent years, conveyor belt sushi restaurants have been using a machine such as a sushi robot to form shari balls, which are then artificially placed on a plate, loaded with wasabi and loaded with material, then moved to the carousel sushi lane for customers. providing.

  However, in such a sushi restaurant, since it is impossible to respond to a sudden order of a customer instantaneously, it is necessary to stock a plate with shari balls in advance. For this reason, the crispy balls on the stock plates are dried, resulting in sushi having a very poor texture.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, for example, there is a technology that is a sharp ball mounting device disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. That is, in this technique, a transport tray support unit that sequentially feeds transport trays one by one, a transfer conveyor that transports the supplied transport tray at a predetermined interval, and a shaving ball molding on the transport tray being transferred. The crush ball molding unit that holds the chamfers molded by the chamfer two at a time by the crush ball transport arm and places them side by side, and the transport tray on which the crush balls are placed are sent to the net loading operator. It is comprised by the conveyance tray feeding and accumulation | storage part for feeding and accumulating.

Japanese Patent No. 3616337

  Conventionally, however, the transport tray support unit simply supplies the transport trays one by one, and cannot specify the number of trays to be supplied. In the thyme, there was a problem such that the dish was dried too much because the dish was supplied too much.

  In addition, the sharp ball placement unit grips two of the sharp balls formed by the sharp ball molding unit at a time by the sharp ball transport arm and places them side by side on the transport plate. There is a risk that the ball will collapse during transportation.

  Furthermore, since the shaving ball forming portion applies the wasabi simultaneously with the forming of the shaving balls, it is impossible to specify whether or not to apply the wasabi with this wasabi application mechanism.

  In addition, since the conventional wasabi application mechanism directly discharges wasabi from the supply tube connected to the wasabi supply unit by the operation of the tube pump, it is difficult to uniformly apply the wasabi to each shaving ball. Also had.

  Therefore, the present invention has been devised in view of the existing circumstances such as the above, and designates the number of plates to be provided for placing the shrimp balls and whether or not to apply the wasabi to the shrimp balls.

Shaving ball forming device, which is formed by a plate feeding mechanism for selecting a plate from a plurality of tray supporting parts one by one by a conveyor and transferring it to a position for placing a shading ball below the shaping part, and a shaping part. A mechanism for placing each shaved ball on the plate and a plate on which each shaved ball is placed are transferred to the wasabi supply position below the wasabi supply portion by the conveyor, and a fixed amount of And characterized in that it comprises a wasabi applying mechanism for applying a rust.

  It includes a dish dispensing mechanism that dispenses a dish with a dispensing mold that reciprocally swings after applying wasabi to each sharpened ball, and transfers the dish onto a material loading conveyor.

  The wasabi application mechanism includes a wasabi nozzle having an air chamber so that a set of wasabi pumps can uniformly apply the wasabi to each of the sharp balls.

  The sharp ball loading mechanism includes a sharp loading thrust mold that can be raised and lowered so that the sharp ball can be received at a sharp ball loading position below the sharp ball molding portion.

  It includes a screen operation unit that allows specification of the number of trays supplied by the tray supply mechanism and specification of whether or not the wasabi application is performed by the wasabi application mechanism.

  The shear supply unit includes a heater for heating the shear.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to simultaneously specify the number of dishes to be supplied on which to place the sharp balls and to specify whether or not to apply the wasabi to the sharp balls. It can be easily mounted, and furthermore, a wasabi can be uniformly applied to each sliver ball, and the laying operation can be hygienic and shortened.

  That is, the present invention provides a tray supply mechanism for selecting a plate one by one from a plurality of tray support portions by a transport conveyor and transferring it to a position where the ball is placed under the shape forming portion, and each shape formed by the shape forming portion. Shaving ball placing mechanism for placing shaving balls on a plate, and a wasabi coating mechanism for transferring a plate with each shaving ball to the wasabi supply position below the wasabi supply portion by the conveyor and applying a certain amount of wasabi to each shaving ball. Therefore, for example, in a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, the arrangement work can be hygienic and shortened, and it is possible to respond to a sudden order of a customer instantaneously.

  It includes a dish dispensing mechanism that applies a wasabi to each shaving ball and then dispenses the dish with a dispensing mold that reciprocally swings and transfers it to the material loading conveyor. It can be transferred to a conveyor, so that the preparation work can be performed hygienically and at the same time the number of work steps can be reduced.

  Since the wasabi application mechanism includes a wasabi nozzle provided with an air chamber so that the wasabi can be uniformly applied to each sprout ball by a set of wasabi pumps, the wasabi can be uniformly applied to each sprout ball.

  The shrimp ball mounting mechanism is equipped with a shrimp mount type that can be raised and lowered so that it can be picked up at the shrimp ball mounting position below the shrunk ball molding part. Can be placed on a plate. In addition, it does not require a complicated mechanism such as installing a conventional sharpening ball transfer arm, and the manufacturing cost of the apparatus itself can be reduced.

  Includes a screen operation unit that allows specification of the number of dishes supplied by the dish supply mechanism and whether or not the wasabi application mechanism is specified by the wasabi application mechanism. The designation of whether or not to apply wasabi can be quickly and simultaneously performed by a setting operation by the screen operation unit. In particular, during idle time with few customers, it is possible to prevent the crisp balls from drying out due to excessive supply of dishes. In addition, it is possible to quickly respond to customers who prefer to remove rust by specifying whether or not to apply wasabi.

  Since the heater for heating the shake is provided in the shake supply unit, it is possible to easily provide the customer with a freshly held shake ball at all times.
