Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
1 and 4 show an apparatus for producing Baumkuchen as a confectionery.

  Baumkuchen is a laminated roll in which a plurality of cylindrical product layers having a circular cross section are sequentially laminated from the axial center side.

  The confectionery manufacturing apparatus of the present invention is provided with a steam chamber 40 for heating with steam, a rolling pin rotating mechanism 20 disposed in the steam chamber 40, a lower side of the rolling pin rotating mechanism 20, and a rolling pin 21. A dough adhering mechanism 30 for adhering the dough and a flame heating mechanism 50 disposed in the steam chamber 40 and on the rotation downstream side of the rolling pin rotating mechanism 20 are provided.

Hereinafter, each component of the confectionery manufacturing apparatus will be described sequentially.
(Steam chamber)
The vapor chamber 40 has a chamber 41 that is open at the bottom. A large number of rolling pins 21 are provided to cover the upper part (except for the lower end) of the region where the rolling mechanism of the rolling pin rotates. A steam pipe 44 is provided on the inner wall 42 of the chamber 41 along the wall surface. The steam pipe 44 has a number of discharge ports that open toward the inside of the chamber 41, and discharges the steam introduced from the steam pipe 44 into the chamber 41 from the discharge ports. In the inner wall 42, the temperature in the chamber 41 is adjusted by the discharge amount of the steam discharged from each discharge port of the steam pipe 44, so that the confectionery dough is steamed.
(Rolling pin rotation mechanism)
A circular opening is formed in the opposite side wall 42 of the steam chamber 40, and the rotating drum 22 is fitted in the opening. The pair of rotating drums 22 are rotatably supported by a rotating shaft 37.

  A large gear (not shown) is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 37, and a rotating motor is connected to the large gear by a chain.

  A plurality of steaming rolling pins 21, 21 are installed between the pair of rotating drums 22 in a horizontal state. Each rolling pin 21 is arranged at a certain interval around the periphery of the rotating drum 22.

  A sprocket (not shown) is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 37 of the rotating drum 22. A sprocket is also connected to the end of each rolling pin 21, and each rolling pin 21 is driven to rotate by each sprocket. Accordingly, each rolling pin 21 installed between the rotating drums 22 rotates and rotates in a horizontal state as the rotating drums 22 rotate.

  That is, an endless chain is bridged between the drive sprocket of the rotary motor and the sprocket of the rotary shaft 37, and the endless chain is bridged between the sprocket of the rotary shaft 37 and the sprocket of the rolling pin chuck.

  When the drive sprocket is rotated by the rotation motor, this rotation is transmitted to the sprocket and the sprocket of the chuck, and the chuck rotates.

Therefore, when the rotating drum is rotated by the rotating motor and each rolling pin 1 is rotated by the rotating motor, these rolling pins rotate along the peripheral edge of each rotating drum and each rotate independently.
(Fabric adhesion mechanism)
As shown in FIG. 4, the dough adhesion mechanism 30 disposed on the lower side of the rolling pin rotation mechanism 20 includes a container 31 disposed so as to be movable up and down. The container 31 is in an open state so that the rolling pin 21 can be inserted from above, and a confectionery dough 51 is accommodated in the container 31.

This dough attachment mechanism 30 has a link mechanism 32 and is configured such that the dough container 31 moves up and down in alignment with the movement of the rolling pin rotation mechanism 20. Then, as the container 31 is raised by the dough attachment mechanism 30, the lower rolling pin 21 of the rotating drum 22 is immersed in the confectionery dough 51 in the container 31. A handle for adjusting the rising degree of the dough container 31 according to the capacity of the dough in the container is provided.
(Flame heating mechanism 50)
A flame heating mechanism 50 is disposed on the inner surface of the inner wall 42 on the downstream side in the rotation direction of the rotary drum 22. The flame heating mechanism 50 is composed of a gas burner and faces the outer peripheral surface of the rolling pin 21 installed between the rotating drums 22. In this embodiment, four gas burners are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the rolling pin 21. The flame heating mechanism 50 can use a known baking apparatus such as an electric heater.

  In the confectionery manufacturing apparatus of the present invention having such a configuration, the confectionery is manufactured as follows.

  When the rotary drum 22 is driven, all the rolling pins 21 installed between the rotary drums 22 rotate. When the rolling pin 21 reaches the lower position, the dough attaching mechanism 30 is driven and the container containing the dough is raised. Thereby, the rolling pin 21 is immersed in the confectionery dough 51 in the container 31, and the rolling pin 21 rotates in this state, whereby the confectionery dough 51 adheres to the outer peripheral surface of the rolling pin 21. The dough 51 attached to the rolling pin 21 has a uniform thickness in the circumferential direction by the rotation of the rolling pin 21.

  The candy dough 51 attached to the outer peripheral surface of the rolling pin 21 is steamed as the candy dough 51 adheres to the chamber 41 and the candy dough 51 enters the chamber 41. .

  Since the flame heating mechanism 50 is arranged on the downstream side of the rotary drum 22, the flame acts next on the surface of the steamed dough, and the surface of the confectionery is baked. Since the rolling pin 21 continues to rotate during the heating by the flame, the confectionery dough 51 attached to the rolling pin 21 is baked uniformly.

  In the same manner, the sticking of the confectionery dough 51, the steaming, and the heating by the flame are repeated, and thereafter, each rolling pin 21 installed between the rotating drums 22 is sequentially removed.

  When the rolling pin 21 is extracted from the innermost cylindrical product layer, confectionery such as Baumkuchen in which the cylindrical product layer is concentrically stacked is sequentially manufactured.

Note that the scissors stick 21 installed between the rotating drums 22 may be formed of a paper tube.
(Second embodiment)
2nd Example shows the apparatus which manufactures a sheet-like thing as confectionery in the confectionery manufacturing apparatus of 1st Example.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of connecting portions are provided between the attachment portions of the rolling pins 22 of the rotating drum 22 used in the above embodiment. The connecting member 12 is installed. A belt-like heat-resistant sheet 13 is covered so as to cover the rolling pin 21 and the connecting member 12 of the rotating drum 22, and a roller 14 is disposed at the other end of the sheet 13.

The confectionery dough applied to the upper surface of the sheet 13 enters the steam chamber 40 in a state of adhering to the sheet 13, steamed, and then baked on the surface by the flame heating mechanism 50. Thereafter, the confectionery is stripped from the sheet 13 by the sheet stripping means 16 such as a scraper and dropped onto the conveyor 15. In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a burner, which is disposed below the rotary drum 22.
(Third embodiment)
3rd Example shows the apparatus which manufactures pudding as a confectionery in the confectionery manufacturing apparatus of 1st Example.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a container suspension member 17 is suspended from each rolling pin 21 of the rotary drum 22 used in the above-described embodiment, and a container such as pudding is disposed in the suspension member 17. In addition, the flame heating mechanism 50 is disposed above the rotary drum 22.

  As the rotating drum 22 rotates, the pudding dough in the container is steamed by steam, and then the upper surface portion of the pudding is baked by the flame.

  The present invention is suitable as an apparatus for producing confectionery such as balm kuchen, sheet-like confectionery, and pudding.
