DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a baking factory, dough and bean paste are pushed into a polymerization nozzle by a pushing means, and are then extruded from the polymerization nozzle into a continuous rod-like body that wraps the bean in a cylindrical dough. A wrapping machine that cuts this into appropriate sizes is used, and breads and confectioneries with various combinations of ingredients and shapes are produced.

[0003]

However, if the conventional wrapping machine is used as it is for the purpose of wrapping jelly-shaped bean which is elastic and easily collapsed into an irregular mass, the size of the bun is not large. Because of its uniformity, it tends to become unstable when extruded from the polymerization nozzle, and as a result, there is a problem in that the amount of bean contained in the product greatly varies.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention is a technical problem to be solved in that when a jelly-shaped bean is wrapped in dough using a wrapping machine, the amount of bean included in the product is not greatly varied. .

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the following packing machine has been created. That is, in the present invention, dough and bean are pushed into a polymerization nozzle by a pushing means, and are extruded from the polymerization nozzle into a continuous rod-like body wrapping bean in a tubular dough, and this is appropriately sized. In the wrapping machine, a grid having a plurality of through-holes of a predetermined size is provided in an an passage of the polymerization nozzle through which the annulus passes before coming into contact with the dough.

[0006]

In the above wrapping machine, for example, when wrapping jelly-shaped bean with dough, the bean is pushed into the polymerization nozzle by the pushing means, but is passed through the grid before coming into contact with the dough, so that it is flattened. become. Therefore, since the bean paste in the continuous rod extruded from the polymerization nozzle has a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape and an excessive amount of lump has been removed, the product made by cutting the continuous rod has a large variation in the amount of bean paste. Is not.

[0007]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a main part of the packaging machine. In the figure, the wrapping machine 1 is provided with a pair of left and right hoppers 2a, 2b, and these hoppers 2a, 2b are provided.
Are connected to the left and right inlets 5a, 5b of the polymerization nozzle 5 via left and right cylinders 4a, 4b provided with pressure feeding screws 3a, 3b, respectively, and joints 4c, 4d. The screws 3a and 3b are driven by driving means such as a motor (not shown), and constitute a pushing means.

The lower part of the polymerization nozzle 5 is formed in a double cylindrical shape, and an inner passage 5d communicating with the right inlet 5b is provided at the center of an outer passage 5c having a circular cross section communicating with the left inlet 5a. A perforated plate 6 is attached to the lower end of the inner passage 5d, and an inner nozzle 7 having a predetermined shape is provided.
Is screwed. As shown in FIG. 2, the perforated plate 6 has a plurality of through holes 6a formed in a circular plate. The perforated plate 6 is a grid according to the present invention, and has an inner passage 5d.
The inner nozzle 7 and the inner nozzle 7 constitute a so-called passage in the present invention.

Further, a mounting flange 8 is fixed to a lower end portion of the polymerization nozzle 5 with a bolt, and a fixing ring 9 having a predetermined shape is mounted on the mounting flange 8 by a holding nut 10. Although a detailed description is omitted at a position directly below the fixing ring 9, the shutter mechanism 1 for cutting is used.
1 is provided.

The operation of the wrapping machine 1 having the above-described structure will be described with reference to an example in which a jelly bun (jelly confectionery) containing jelly-like bean paste having elasticity and being easily broken into an irregular mass is prepared. In the left hopper 2a, kuzu-like dough as an outer skin material is put, and in the right hopper 2b, a jelly-shaped bean as an inner packing material is put. Then, the left and right screws 3a and 3b are rotated at an optimum speed by a driving means (not shown) to make the dough and the bean paste into the polymerization nozzle 5.
To pump. The jelly-shaped bean is roughly broken by the right screw 3b. However, since this screw is not intended to be crushed into a fixed shape, the bean is left as a relatively large amorphous mass. After being pushed into the passage 5 d and passing through the through-hole 6 a of the perforated plate 6, the cross-sectional shape is regulated and pushed out from the inner nozzle 7.

[0011] Then, the continuous rod-shaped body wrapped in the bean paste wrapped with the kuzu-like dough extruded from the fixing ring 9 is cut by the shutter mechanism 11 and at the same time the cut end is closed to produce a kuzu bun of a predetermined size. . At this time, the bean paste contained in the continuous rod-shaped body has almost the same cross-sectional shape, so when it is extruded and cut from the polymerization nozzle, it becomes unstable and breaks or an excessively large mass is extruded as it is conventionally. And there is no large variation in the amount of bean paste contained in the kudzu bun of the product.

In this embodiment, the perforated plate 6 is a stainless steel plate having a thickness of 2.6 mm and an outer diameter of 60 mm and a diameter of 1 mm.
When nine through-holes 6a each having a diameter of 0 mm were drilled, a variation of ± 2 g could be suppressed with respect to the product weight of 13 g. By the way, in the experimental example not using the perforated plate 6, the weight of the bean became 13 ± 5 g,
The variation was too large to be commercialized.

In the above example, the cross section of the jelly-shaped bean paste is once formed into a substantially circular shape having a diameter of about 10 mm, and a plurality of bean pastes cut into appropriate lengths are wrapped in a cloth. You can enjoy the taste similar to Kyoho and Muscat with the flavor. In other words, with a simple configuration in which the perforated plate 6 is added to the conventional wrapping machine, mass production of kuzu buns (jelly confectionery) having a texture is possible.

In the above embodiment, the perforated plate 6 is used as the grid, but a net or a rectifying plate having an appropriate gap may be used. In addition, it can be applied even if the properties of the bean are not jelly-like, and by setting the shape of the through-holes appropriately, it is expected that the homogenization according to the properties of the bean can be achieved with a simple configuration. obtain. In addition, it is needless to say that the present invention can be implemented in various modified embodiments based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0015]

As described above, the use of the packaging machine according to the present invention has an effect that it is possible to produce a product having a small variation in the amount of bean jam.
