Description

   The present invention relates to a die for forming a kneaded dough of food material like a tart into a cup shape, a depositor for producing food material, and a food production apparatus.

   Conventionally, as a depositor for forming kneaded dough, which is a material such as tart cake or petite tart, into a cup shape like tart etc., for example, a predetermined amount from a nozzle (nozzle) to a receiving mold that forms the outer shape of the cup After injecting the dough, there is one that receives a pressing mold that forms the inner shape of the cup and pushes it into the mold. In such a method of forming a dough with a depositor into a cup shape, in order to make it easier to separate the pressing mold from the dough after the cup is formed, the pressing mold is provided with a heating means so that the dough is baked in a state of being pushed into the receiving mold Something has been done.

   Moreover, as a method for forming the dough into a cup shape, for example, there is a method using a forming machine provided with a nozzle for discharging the dough toward the bottom surface and the inner peripheral surface of the receiving mold. In this method, the dough can be formed into a cup shape by discharging the dough from the nozzle and rotating the nozzle in the circumferential direction of the receiving die while the nozzle is inserted into the receiving mold.

  However, in the depositor that molds with a die after injecting the dough with the nozzle, the number of steps for molding increases, so there is a problem that the production efficiency of the cup is low, and the mechanism that puts the die in and out of the molding machine further Is required, which leads to complication of the molding machine. In addition, when the dough is baked in a state in which the pressing mold is received and pushed into the mold, there is a problem that the texture becomes stiff, and heating means are also required, resulting in further complication.

  On the other hand, even when using a molding machine equipped with a nozzle that discharges the dough on the bottom surface and inner peripheral surface of the receiving mold, it is necessary to provide a rotation mechanism that rotates the nozzle while being inserted into the receiving mold. The structure of the molding machine becomes extremely complicated. Moreover, there is a problem that only a circular cup can be formed in a plan view, and a cup having an arbitrary shape cannot be formed.

  Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 1, the applicant has invented a die and a food material manufacturing depositor that can improve the manufacturing efficiency of a cup made of dough and can form a cup having an arbitrary shape. .

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings attached to the application.

   FIG. 1 is a side view showing details of an embodiment of a depositor according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the operation of the depositor shown in FIG.

  1 and 2, a depositor 1 according to this embodiment is for forming a kneaded dough that becomes a food material, such as tart, into a cup shape. As shown in FIG. Is composed of a base 3 for arranging the tray T and a unit 5 for discharging the dough toward the tray T.

  A plurality of wheels 7 are attached to the lower part of the base 3 so that the depositor 1 can be easily moved.

  Further, on the upper part of the base 3, a belt conveyor 9 that arranges and conveys the tray T, and a pair of support portions 11 that support the unit 5 above the belt conveyor 9 are provided. The pair of support portions 11 protrude from the upper surface 3a of the base 3, and the protruding length from the upper surface 3a of the base 3 can be adjusted steplessly. Thereby, the distance from the upper surface 3a of the base 3 to the unit 5 can be changed.

  In addition, the base 3 is provided with a wire cutter 13 that cuts off the dough protruding from a base (nozzle) 21 of the unit 5 described later. The wire cutter 13 is attached to an arm 15 protruding from the upper surface 3 a of the base 3, and can be swung in a direction (B direction) along the transport direction of the tray T with respect to the base 3. 16 and a wire member 17 stretched over the tip of the cutter body 16, and the wire member 17 is stretched in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the tray T by the belt conveyor 9 in plan view.

  The wire cutter 13 is configured so that the cloth protruding from the base 21 can be cut off by the wire member 17 by swinging the cutter body 16 and passing the wire member 17 through the opening end of the base 21.

  The unit 5 includes a hopper 19 that can store the dough, a plurality of caps 21 arranged in a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the tray T by the belt conveyor 9 to form the dough into a cup shape, and the hopper 19 and the cap 21 The dough squeezing unit 23 is provided to supply the dough from the hopper 19 to the base 21.

  The dough squeezing unit 23 includes a casing 25 that forms a communication path 25a that allows the dough to pass from the hopper 19 to the base 21 from above to below, and a pair of rolls 27 that are disposed in the communication path 25a. 19 is formed integrally. The plurality of bases 21 can be integrally attached to and detached from the casing 25.

  Each of the pair of rolls 27 is formed in a substantially rod shape whose circumferential surface is formed in a substantially gear shape in cross section, and is rotatably supported by the casing 25 about its axis. Then, by rotating the pair of rolls 27 in opposite directions, the dough stored in the hopper 19 can be pushed toward the base 21.

  The hopper 19 and the dough squeezing unit 23 constitute a dough supply unit 29 that pushes the dough and supplies it to the base 21 and discharges the dough from the base 21 toward the tray T.

  The base 21 is formed into a cup shape through the dough supplied from the dough supply unit 29, and as shown in FIG. 2, a substantially cylindrical outer tube portion 31 and an inner periphery of the outer tube portion 31. A substantially cylindrical inner tube portion 33 is provided in the outer tube portion 31 with a gap between the surface and the surface.

  The outer cylinder part 31 has an upstream opening end 31a that serves as an entrance side of the fabric supplied from the fabric supply unit 29, and a downstream opening end 31b that serves as an exit side of the fabric. And the opening end 31a of the outer cylinder part 31 located in the upstream is formed in the circular shape by the planar view seen from the flow direction (C direction) of dough, and the opening of the outer cylinder part 31 located in the downstream The end 31b is formed in the outer edge shape of the cup shape | molded by planar view. Further, the cross-sectional area of the outer cylindrical portion 31 is gradually decreased toward the downstream side so that the opening area of the downstream opening end 31b of the outer cylindrical portion 31 is smaller than the opening area of the upstream opening end 31a. ing.

   The plan view shape of the inner cylinder part 33 is smaller than, for example, the opening end 31 b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder part 31, and the inner cylinder part 33 has an opening end on the downstream side of the outer cylinder part 31. It is supported by a plurality of support rods 35 on the upstream side of 31b, and the downstream opening end 33b is disposed on the same plane as the downstream opening end 31b of the outer cylindrical portion 31.

  Further, the upstream opening end 33 a of the inner cylinder portion 33 is disposed on the downstream side of the upstream opening end 31 a of the outer cylinder portion 31, and is directed to the upstream opening end 31 a of the outer cylinder portion 31. ing. The inner cylinder portion 33 has a constant cross-sectional area from the upstream side to the downstream side except for the resistance portion 37 described below, and therefore, the opening ends 33a and 33b on the upstream side and the downstream side thereof. The area is also equal.

  A resistance portion 37 that provides resistance to the cloth passing through the inner cylinder portion 33 is provided on the opening end 33 a side on the upstream side of the inner cylinder portion 33. The resistance portion 37 is formed in a net shape in the inner cylinder portion 33 in a plan view, and in the present embodiment, a plurality of wire members 39 stretched in parallel and at equal intervals in the plan view, and these in a plan view. It is composed of a plurality of thin plate members 41 crossing the wire member 39 and arranged in parallel with each other at equal intervals, and has a lattice shape. Each thin plate member 41 is arranged so that the front and back surfaces thereof intersect with the direction in which the wire member 39 extends, and the front and back surfaces substantially coincide with the flow direction of the fabric. The inner cylindrical portion 33, the wire 3 member 39, and the thin plate member 41 are joined and integrated with each other. When the fabric passes through the mesh of the resistance portion 37, resistance is applied to the fabric by the wire 39 and the thin plate member 41. Details of the resistance portion 37 in this embodiment will be described later.

  The base 21 also includes a substantially plate-shaped guide member 43 that is integrally formed with the opening end 31 b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder portion 31, and the lower surface 43 a of the guide member 43 is downstream of the outer cylinder portion 31. It forms the same plane as the opening end 31b on the side. The guide member 43 plays a role of allowing the wire member 17 of the wire cutter 13 to abut and passing the wire member 17 over the open end 31 b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder portion 31 reliably.

  When forming the dough into a cup shape by the depositor 1 to which the base 21 is attached, the pair of rolls 27 are rotated to supply the dough into the outer cylindrical portion 31 of the base 21 and the upstream side of the outer cylindrical portion 31. From the opening end 31a to the downstream opening end 31b. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, a part of the cloth supplied into the outer cylinder part 31 flows into the inner cylinder part 33 from the opening end 33a on the upstream side of the inner cylinder part 33, and the remainder of the cloth is left. Flows into the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion 31 and the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion 33.

  Here, when the cloth flowing into the inner cylindrical portion 33 passes through the resistance portion 37, resistance is given to the cloth. Further, although resistance is also given to the fabric flowing into the gap between the outer cylinder part 31 and the inner cylinder part 33 by the support bar 35, the magnitude of the resistance by the support bar 35 is smaller than the resistance by the resistance part 37. Accordingly, the flow of the fabric passing through the inner cylinder portion 33 is slower than the flow of the fabric passing through the gap between the outer cylinder portion 31 and the inner cylinder portion 33.

  In addition, although the cloth | dough which flows in the clearance gap between the inner cylinder part 33 and the outer cylinder part 31 and the inner cylinder part 33 is divided | segmented in the resistance part 37 and the support rod 35, from the formation position of the resistance part 37 or the support bar 35 The up to the opening end 33b on the downstream side of the inner cylindrical portion 33 is integrated by the viscosity of the fabric itself.

  Thereby, the amount of the fabric discharged from the inner cylinder portion 33 at the opening end 33b on the downstream side of the inner cylinder portion 33 is larger than the amount of the fabric discharged from the gap between the outer cylinder portion 31 and the inner cylinder portion 33. Less. Further, when the cloth is supplied from the cloth supply section 29 from the state where the cloth is packed to the opening ends 31b and 33b on the downstream side of the inner cylinder section 31 and the outer cylinder section 33, the outer cylinder section 31 and the inner cylinder section with less resistance. While the cloth is quickly discharged from the gap with the cloth 33, the cloth is discharged from the inner cylinder portion 33 having a large resistance with a delay.

  Accordingly, the protruding length of the fabric protruding from the opening end 31b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder part 31 is discharged from the inner cylinder part 33 when discharged from the gap between the outer cylinder part 31 and the inner cylinder part 33. Longer than what was done. In addition, in the state which the fabric discharged | emitted from the inner cylinder part 33 and the fabric discharged | emitted from the clearance gap between the outer cylinder part 31 and the inner cylinder part 33 protruded from the opening end 31b of the downstream side of the outer cylinder part 31 , Integrated by the viscosity of the dough itself.

  As described above, the cup 51 that opens to the front side of the opening end 31b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder portion 31 can be formed. That is, the fabric discharged from the inner cylinder portion 33 forms the inner bottom surface portion 51 a of the cup 51, and the fabric discharged from the gap between the outer cylinder portion 31 and the inner cylinder portion 33 forms the side wall portion 51 b of the cup 51.

  Then, the cup 51 protruding from the downstream opening end 31 b of the outer cylinder portion 31 is cut off from the base 21 by the wire cutter 13 with the downstream opening end 31 b as a cutting surface. At this time, by swinging the cutter body 16 in the B direction, the wire member 17 passes through the opening end 31b on the downstream side of the outer cylindrical portion 31 while being pressed against the lower surface 43a of the guide member 43, and thereby the cup. 51 is cut off from the base 21.

  In this cut-off, as shown in FIG. 3, the cup 51 falls while rotating around the end portion P on the cutting direction side, and is inverted and landed on the tray T. In this case, the cup shape is not crushed even if the material is soft, and the cup 51 is placed on the tray T in an open state, so that the cup 51 remains on the tray T. Ingredients can be filled in the cup 51 separately.

  In the above embodiment, the cup 51 cut off from the base 21 is dropped into the tray T on the belt conveyor 9. However, the cup 51 is dropped directly onto the belt conveyor 9 without using the tray T. It may be configured.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a base 21 employed in the depositor 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 (A) is a top view thereof, FIG. 4 (B) is a side view thereof, and FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a resistance portion 37.

  In FIG. 4, as shown in FIGS. 4 (A) and 4 (B), five caps 21 are arranged on the substrate 21a. That is, the depositor 1 of this embodiment has five bases 21 arranged in a direction orthogonal to the direction of transport of the tray T by the belt conveyor 9, and the five bases 21 form five cup-like shapes. Form the dough at the same time.

  The base 21 shown in FIG. 4 has a substantially square opening end 33 b on the downstream side of the inner cylinder portion 33, and the opening end 31 b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder portion 31 is more than the opening end 33 b on the downstream side of the inner cylinder portion 33. Is formed from a substantially large square, and a cup-shaped dough having a substantially square shape in a plan view is formed.

  In addition, the opening end 31b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder portion 31 has a shape in which the side portion is recessed inward, and this is for canceling the expansion in the subsequent firing process.

  The resistance part 37 formed at the upper part in the inner cylinder part 33 is composed of a plurality of thin plate members 41 arranged in parallel to each other and a plurality of wire members arranged so as to intersect the upper surface of the thin plate member. The Here, in the resistance portion 37 used for the base 21 shown in FIG. 4, in order to prevent the central portion of the inner bottom surface portion 51a of the cup 51 from bulging, the wire member 39 at the central portion of the inner cylindrical portion 33 is connected to another portion. A wire member having a diameter larger than that of the wire member 39 is used.

  That is, the resistance portion 37 of the base 21 shown in FIG. 4 includes three types of wires: a wire member 39a having a large diameter, a wire member 39b having a diameter slightly smaller than the wire member 39a, and a wire member 39c having a minimum diameter. The member 39 is used, the wire member 39a having a large diameter is disposed at the center portion of the inner tube portion 33, and the wire member 39c having a small diameter is disposed at the peripheral portion of the inner tube portion 33. The wire member 39b having a slightly smaller diameter is disposed between the wire member 39a and the wire member 39c.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to increase the resistance to the fabric in the central portion in the inner cylinder portion 33, and thus it is possible to prevent the fabric from bulging in the central portion in the inner cylinder portion 33.

  In the above example, wire members having three types of diameters are used, but the same configuration can be obtained by using wire members having two types of diameters.

  FIG. 5 shows another example of a base 21 employed in the depositor 1 shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5 (A) is a top view thereof, FIG. 5 (B) is a side view thereof, and FIG. 5 (C). Is an enlarged view of the resistance portion 37. FIG.

  Also in FIG. 5, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, five caps 21 are arranged on the substrate 21 a, and the five caps 21 form five cup-like shapes. Form the dough at the same time.

  The base 21 shown in FIG. 5 has a circular opening end 33 b on the downstream side of the inner cylinder portion 33, and the opening end 31 b on the downstream side of the outer cylinder portion 31 is more than the opening end 33 b on the downstream side of the inner cylinder portion 33. Formed from a large flower shape, it forms a flower-shaped cup-shaped fabric in plan view.

  Also in this case, in the resistance portion 37 used for the base 21 shown in FIG. 5, the wire member 39 at the center portion of the inner cylinder portion 33 is connected to another portion in order to prevent the center portion of the inner bottom surface portion 51 a of the cup 51 from swelling. A wire member having a diameter larger than that of the wire member 39 is used.

  That is, the resistance portion 37 of the base 21 shown in FIG. 5 uses two types of wire members 39, that is, a wire member 39a having a large diameter and a wire member 39c having a minimum diameter. 39 a is arranged at the center of the inner cylinder part 33, and the wire member 39 c with a small diameter is arranged at the peripheral part of the inner cylinder part 33.

  Even with such a configuration, it is possible to increase the resistance to the fabric in the central portion in the inner cylinder portion 33, and thereby prevent the fabric from bulging in the central portion in the inner cylinder portion 33.

  6 shows still another example of the base 21 employed in the depositor 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 6 (A) is a top view thereof, FIG. 6 (B) is a side view thereof, and FIG. ) Is an enlarged view of the resistance portion 37.

  Also in FIG. 6, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 5 (B), five caps 21 are arranged on the substrate 21a, and the five caps 21 form five cup-like shapes. Form the dough at the same time.

  The base 21 shown in FIG. 6 has a substantially heart-shaped opening end 33 b on the downstream side of the inner cylindrical portion 33, and the opening end 31 b on the downstream side of the outer cylindrical portion 31 is an opening end 33 b on the downstream side of the inner cylindrical portion 33. It is formed from a substantially heart shape larger than the heart shape, and forms a heart-shaped cup-shaped fabric in a plan view.

  Here, the resistance part 37 formed in the upper part in the inner cylinder part 33 includes a plurality of thin plate members 41 arranged in parallel to each other, and a plurality of wire members arranged so as to intersect the upper surface of the thin plate member. In the resistor portion 37 used in the base 21 shown in FIG. 6, the wire member on the upper portion of the inner cylinder portion 33 is used to prevent swelling at the two ear portions on the upper portion of the heart-shaped cup 51. 39 is formed so as to be curved in a planar shape formed on the upper surface of the plurality of thin plate members 41.

  That is, the presence of the curved wire member 39d can increase the resistance to the cloth in the upper two ears of the heart-shaped cup 51, and thereby the upper two ears of the heart-shaped cup 51 can be increased. The swelling of the fabric can be prevented.

  Here, the number of the wire members 39 to be bent is arbitrary. For example, even by bending only one wire member 39, the swelling of the fabric in the two ears at the top of the heart-shaped cup 51 is prevented to some extent. can do.

  4 to 6 show the base 21 used for generating a square cup-shaped dough, a flower-shaped cup-shaped dough, and a heart-shaped cup-shaped dough. It can be similarly applied to the production of a cup-shaped dough such as a hexagon.

  Further, when the depositor 1 of the above-described embodiment is used, the cup-shaped dough formed on the tray T or the belt conveyor 9 can be dropped while being opened upward. If a baking machine for baking dough or a food filling machine that fills cup-shaped dough with other foods, cup-shaped dough can be generated, baked, and filled with food continuously. .

  FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of a food production apparatus configured by employing the depositor according to the present invention.

  The food production apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 7 is a baking machine 110 for baking the dough of the cup-shaped dough produced by the depositer 1 after the depositer 1 shown in FIGS. A food filling machine 120 is provided to fill the cup-shaped dough with food.

  According to such a configuration, the cup-shaped dough generated by the depositer 1 and dropped and accommodated in the tray T of the depositer 1 is conveyed onto the belt conveyor 9a of the baking machine 110 by using the belt conveyor 9 to be cup-shaped dough. The cup-shaped dough baked by the baking machine 110 is conveyed onto the belt conveyor 9c of the food filling machine 120 using the belt conveyor 9a, and the baked cup-shaped dough is filled with food. This can be performed, and a series of operations of baking and food filling on the cup-shaped dough generated by the depositer 1 can be automated.

  In the food manufacturing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 7, the baking machine 110 and the food filling machine 120 are provided in this order in the subsequent stage of the depositor 1, but depending on the ingredients filled in the food filling machine 120, the food filling You may make it provide the machine 120 in the front | former stage of the baking machine 110.
