Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a machine-made oval shaped hamburger material, as if it were a handmade hamburger.
The present invention relates to a device for shaping into a rounded shape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 10, a hamburger M mass-produced by a machine has a so-called oval shape in which the entire thickness is the same and the peripheral side surface Ma is also a vertical surface. Is.

[0003]

Therefore, as compared with a handmade hamburger having a round shape as a whole, the oval-shaped hamburger has a drawback that it has an angular appearance and does not feel delicious.

[0004]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and uses an oval hamburger formed by a machine as a material. By shaping the peripheral side surface to be round, it is intended to give a feeling of handmade, and to provide something that looks delicious to the eye, the gist is that the ascending conveyor and the descending conveyor are at the top. Intermittently moving conveyor device consisting of a horizontal conveyor connected to each other, and a pair of stamping devices horizontally moving on the same plane as the horizontal conveyor, and a hamburger pattern transferred from the ascending conveyor and stopped on the horizontal conveyor. The hamburger shaping device is characterized in that the material is shaped by the die of the die pressing device.

[0005]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 is a plan view of the shaping device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the shaping device, and FIGS.
Is an operation explanatory view of the device, and FIGS. 8 and 9 are operation explanatory perspective views of a main part of the device.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a hamburger shaping device according to the present invention, which is an intermittently moving conveyor device 3 installed on a base 2 and, as shown in FIG.
It is mainly composed of a die unit 4 for shaping the peripheral side surface Ma of the.

The conveyor device 3 is composed of an ascending conveyor 5 and a descending conveyor 6 which are respectively inclined at a predetermined angle, and horizontal conveyors 7 connected to each other at the tops of the conveyors 5 and 6, respectively. Each of the conveyors 5, 6 and 7 has a width capable of conveying three hamburger blanks M in parallel.

The stamping device 4 is composed of a pair of stamping dies 8, 8 which are substantially flush with the horizontal conveyor 7 and which horizontally move in the left-right direction about the horizontal conveyor 7. The pressing die 8 has the same width as the conveyors 5, 6 and 7 of the conveyor device 3 and the thickness of the hamburger blank M and approximately the same height. At the opposite position, three mold surfaces 8a, which are arcuate in plan view and are also arcuate, are formed at predetermined intervals in the width direction.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a movable part to which the pressing die 8 is attached,
A pair of front and rear rails 10 and 10 arranged in parallel along the traveling direction of the conveyors 5, 6 and 7 are horizontally crossed so as to be freely movable, and are respectively driven by cylinders 11. Reference numeral 12 denotes a nozzle portion for spraying water toward each die surface 8a of the pressing die 8, which is provided on each of a pair of crosspieces 13 which are crossed in parallel to each other in a direction orthogonal to the traveling directions of the conveyors 5, 6 and 7. ing.

Reference numeral 14 is a pressure for pressing the hamburger blank M, which is provided directly above the center of the horizontal conveyor 7 so as to be vertically movable.
It is fixed to the central part of. In addition, reference numeral 15 in the drawing denotes a conveyor conveyer which is connected to the lower end of the ascending conveyor 5 and conveys the hamburger blank M.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the die-cut hamburger blank M immediately after manufacturing is transferred from the conveyor 15 to the ascending conveyor 5 and ascended. Conveyor 5 to horizontal conveyor 7
Transported on. On the other hand, water is sprayed from the nozzle portion 12 on the mold surfaces 8a of the pair of left and right pressing dies 8 in the retracted position for a set time so that the hamburger blank M does not adhere to the mold surfaces 8a.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the hamburger blank M reaches the central portion of the horizontal conveyor 7, a sensor (not shown) detects it and the ascending conveyor 5 and the horizontal conveyor 7 are stopped. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the left and right pressing dies 8 and 8 are driven by the cylinders 11 and 11 to move toward each other, and as shown in FIG. The surface 8a presses the left and right peripheral side surfaces Ma of the hamburger blank M from the left and right. As a result, the circumferential side surfaces Ma of the hamburger blank M are shaped into a circular arc in longitudinal section, and the shaped hamburger M1 that is a finished product is formed.

When the shaping of the hamburger blank M is completed, as shown in FIG. 6, the pressure 14 is lowered to lightly press the upper surface of the shaped hamburger M1, and when the two pressing dies 8, 8 are retracted. After preventing the hamburger M1 from being displaced due to the adhesion to the mold surface 8a, the double pressing dies 8,8
To start the retreat. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the pressing dies 8 return to their original retracted positions, the pressure 14 rises and the pressing is released, and at the same time, the descending conveyor 6, the horizontal conveyor 7, and the ascending conveyor 5 are driven respectively. When the shaped and shaped hamburger M1 is sent out onto the descending conveyor 6, the next hamburger blank M is sent from the ascending conveyor 5 onto the horizontal conveyor 7. Then, the above operation is sequentially repeated.

In the above construction, it is possible to raise the hamburger blank to the same plane position as the pressing die for each shaping, or conversely lower the pushing die to the same plane position as the hamburging blank, but the molding time However, there is a problem that it takes a long time for the above-mentioned operation and the mechanism becomes complicated. In the above embodiment, the push die is configured to be driven by the cylinder, but it is of course possible to slide the push mechanism by a cam mechanism. When this cam mechanism is adopted, the push die is moved forward. ， It is necessary to have a change in speed so that it moves fast when retreating and slowly presses it when it comes into contact with the hamburger blank.

[0015]

As described above, the shaping device for hamburger material according to the present invention comprises a conveyor device for intermittent movement, which comprises a horizontal conveyor connecting the ascending conveyor and the descending conveyor at the top thereof, and the horizontal conveyor.ゞ It consists of a pair of stamping devices that move horizontally on the same plane, and the mechanism is simple because the hamburger blanks transferred from the ascending conveyor and stopped on the horizontal conveyor are shaped by the stamping die of the stamping device. In addition, when continuous shaping is possible, there are various effects such as a rounded, hand-made hamburger can be obtained.
