Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for batch-divided pizza dough and the like and a cutting member used for the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are two methods for producing a precut crust: a punching method and a pressing method. The punching method is a method in which a pizza dough is stretched into a noodle band shape and then a pizza dough is punched out in a predetermined form. In the punching method, the pizza dough can be divided in advance in the manufacturing stage depending on the shape of the die to be punched.

On the other hand, according to the press method, pizza dough is divided into predetermined sizes, individually rolled and fermented, and then rolled and fermented in a recess 101 having a predetermined size formed on a spreadsheet 100 shown in FIG. This is a method in which the dough 102 is placed and stretched to a predetermined size by a press (not shown).

[0004] In such a press method, the display board 100 has a large area and is slightly distorted.
As shown in FIG. 7 (B), a corrugated groove 108 is formed in the spread plate 100 to increase the strength of zero.

[0005] Therefore, even if a cutting step is introduced into the press method, as shown in FIG. 7A, the peak 112 of the groove 108 and the blade of the cutting member 106 come into contact with each other, and it is not possible to cut cleanly. Can not.

For this reason, in the past, the pizza dough was not divided by the press method.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and has as its object to provide a method for uniformly dividing a lengthened pizza dough in a manufacturing process.

[0008]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a pizza dough having a predetermined size is placed in a concave portion having a predetermined size formed on an exhibition board on which a pizza dough is placed, and the size of the concave portion is set. In the mass production process of pressing and expanding the pizza dough in accordance with the above, the stretched pizza dough is divided by a cutting member in which the surface of the core material is covered with an elastic member in a state of being placed in the concave portion.

For this reason, since the pizza dough is divided at the manufacturing stage, there is no need to cut the pizza dough with a kitchen knife or the like after baking.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the cutting member that divides the pizza dough that has been lifted and lowered by the press cutter and extended is composed of a core material and an elastic body that covers the surface of the core material. .

For this reason, when the cutting member is pressed from above onto the spread plate on which the groove is formed, the blade of the cutting member is slightly deformed in accordance with the shape of the groove. Therefore, the pizza dough can be finely divided because the blade portion of the cutting member can bite into the groove. Further, since the blade portion of the cutting member is an elastic body, even if the blade portion comes into contact with the spread plate, the spread plate does not wear, so that the spread plate is not consumed.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the elastic body is silicon rubber.

Since the releasability is better than other elastic materials such as natural rubber, the pizza dough hardly adheres.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a hollow portion is formed in the blade portion of the cutting member, so that the blade portion can be easily deformed.

[0015] For this reason, it becomes easier for the blade portion to bite into the groove portion of the exhibition board, and the pizza dough can be completely divided.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the cutting portion has a cutout in the blade portion, and the cut of the pizza dough is discontinuous.

As described above, since the cuts of the pizza dough are discontinuous, the pizza dough does not fall apart after the division.

[0018]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG.
It is shown. The press cutter 11 includes an exhibition plate 10 having nine circular concave portions 12 on which pizza dough 14 is placed, and an attachment plate 18 to which a cutter 32 is attached.
It has.

The internal dimensions of the recess 12 are substantially the same as the external dimensions of the pizza dough 14 before firing, which is extended by a press (not shown). Therefore, the pizza dough 14 does not move when placed in the recess 12.

Further, a plurality of grooves 16 are formed concentrically inside the concave portion 12, and the grooves 16 improve the strength of the spread plate 10, and form an uneven portion on the back surface of the pizza dough 14 before firing. The pizza dough 14 is formed to improve the degree of baking of the pizza dough 14.

On the other hand, the rectangular flat plate 18 disposed above the exhibition plate 10 can be moved up and down by an air cylinder or the like (not shown). This mounting plate 1
8 has a concave portion 12 formed in the spread plate 10 and 9
Two circular flat cutter plates 24 can be attached.

A screw hole (not shown) is formed on the top surface of the cutter plate 24, and the bolt 20 inserted into the hole 21 of the mounting plate 18 can be screwed therein. A spring 22 is mounted on the bolt 20 and urges the cutter plate 24 downward.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a boss 26 protrudes from the center of the back surface of the cutter plate 24, and the boss 26 radially extends toward the outer peripheral surface of the cutter plate 24. A book receiving portion 28 is provided continuously.

The receiving portion 28 is formed with a long guide groove 30 having a circular cross section. On the other hand, the cutter 32 for dividing the pizza dough 14 (see FIG. 5) has a flat plastic core 38 covered with a hard silicone rubber elastic body 39 by two-color molding.

The cutter 32 has a columnar insertion portion 34 formed at an upper portion thereof which can be inserted along the guide groove 30, a blade portion 36 formed at a lower portion for dividing the pizza dough 14, and an upper portion and a lower portion connected in series. And a connecting portion 35 to be connected.

A core member 38 is located in the continuous portion 35 to increase the strength of the cutter 32.

Further, since the blade portion 36 is formed of silicon rubber, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the cutter 32 is pressed against the groove portion 16 formed on the spread plate 10, Since the blade portion 36 is slightly deformed according to the shape of the groove portion 16, the blade portion 36 can bite into the groove portion 16 and the pizza dough 14 can be divided neatly.

Further, since the blade 36 is made of silicone rubber, even if the blade 36 comes into contact with the spread plate 10, the spread plate 10 is not worn, so that the spread plate 10 is not consumed.

Further, by using silicone rubber for the elastic body 39, the releasability is improved as compared with other elastic bodies such as natural rubber, and the pizza dough 14 is hardly adhered. In addition, only the portion of the blade portion 36 that bites into the pizza dough 14 becomes thinner toward the tip. For this reason, the top surfaces of the adjacent pizza doughs 14 do not stick to each other after the division.

A hollow portion 40 is provided on the tip side of the blade portion 36 of the cutter 32, so that the tip of the blade portion 36 is easily deformed. For this reason, the blade portion 36 is
The pizza dough 14 can be completely divided even in the groove 16.

Further, the edge of the blade portion 36 is rounded.
As a result, the rounded one has a larger press-cut area with the pizza dough 14 than the sharpened one, and the pizza dough 1
4 is easily divided.

As shown in FIG. 5, the blade portion 36 has a cutout portion 42 having a length extending from the cutting edge to the core 38.
In this portion, the cuts of the pizza dough 14 are discontinuous. Further, the blade portion 36 has a length that does not reach the center of the pizza dough 14, and there is no break in the center of the pizza dough 14. Thus, the discontinuity is discontinuous, and
Because all the pizza dough 14 is connected at the center,
After the division, the pizza dough 14 does not fall apart.

With such a configuration, the pizza dough 14 can be individually divided even by the press method, and the pizza dough 1
After baking 414, there is no need to cut it with a kitchen knife or the like.

Here, the number of the receiving portions 28 of the cutter plate 24 is six, but the present invention is not limited to this. Also, the cutter 34 can be changed according to the external dimensions of the pizza dough 14.

Next, a method of dividing the pizza dough 14 by the cutter 34 according to the present embodiment will be described.

Mounting plate 1 using an air cylinder (not shown)
When 8 is lowered, the blade portion 36 of the cutter 32 bites into the pizza dough 14. After the blade portion 36 comes into contact with the exhibition plate 10, the blade portion 36 is deformed by the pressing force from the mounting plate 18,
It cuts into the groove 16.

For this reason, the pizza dough 14 placed on the spread plate 10 is pushed off by the blade portion 36 of the cutter 32 and the spread plate 10, and the pizza dough 14 is completely divided except for the defective portion 42 and the central portion. .

At this time, the spring 22 (see FIG. 1) disposed above the cutter plate 24 absorbs the distortion of the surface of the spread plate 10, so that the pressing force is evenly applied to the cutter 32.

The crust is obtained by baking the pizza dough 14, and the precut crust is the divided pizza dough 14 before baking.

[0040]

According to the present invention, the above configuration is provided.
According to the invention described in (1), since the pizza dough is divided at the manufacturing stage, there is no need to cut the pizza dough with a kitchen knife or the like after baking the pizza dough. According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the blade portion of the cutting member can bite into the groove, the pizza dough can be finely divided. Further, since the blade portion of the cutting member is an elastic body, even if the blade portion comes into contact with the spread plate, the spread plate does not wear, so that the spread plate is not consumed. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the releasability is better than other elastic bodies such as natural rubber, the pizza dough hardly adheres. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the blade portion is more likely to bite into the groove of the exhibition board, and the pizza dough can be completely divided. According to the invention described in claim 5, the pizza dough does not fall apart after the division.
