DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a discharge device for a viscous material, and more particularly to a discharge device for filling a material to be filled with a filling material such as bean jam or cream.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a similar device to the conventional technology of the present invention, there is a discharge device used in an automatic manufacturing apparatus such as kashiwa mochi as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 13655/1985. For example, when molding a two-fold product such as Kashiwa-mochi, a fixed amount of bean paste is filled on the rice cake dough. It is cut linearly and dropped on the rice cake dough below.

[0003]

However, in such a prior art configuration, the cut bean is more easily scattered as the piano wire cutter moves faster, and conversely, the cut as the piano wire cutter moves slower. There is a disadvantage that the falling position of the bean paste is not stable. Further, when a granular material is mixed with the viscous material, there is a disadvantage that scattering at the time of cutting is further increased.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an apparatus for ejecting a viscous material is provided with a device which does not scatter cutting chips when cutting the material to be ejected. Further, a device for filling and placing the cut material at a predetermined position is provided.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The discharge device of the present invention is provided with a cutter which rotates in the circumferential direction of the nozzle at the nozzle of the discharge portion of the viscous material, as a device for preventing scattering of the viscous material during cutting. The viscous material to be discharged is cut and separated.

A wire-shaped cutter is effective. It is effective if the rotating cutter is provided in the radial direction of the nozzle, and its length is at least one half of the inner diameter of the nozzle.

The driving shaft of the rotating cutter is provided so as to pass through the center position inside the nozzle and to be axially attached to the cutter at the tip end position of the nozzle to transmit the driving force.

As another drive transmission means for the cutter, a ring-shaped member having the same inner diameter as the nozzle is rotatably fitted to the tip of the nozzle with a ring-shaped member having a cutter protruding in the radial direction of the ring-shaped member. Thus, the ring-shaped member can be rotated in connection with a drive shaft provided outside the nozzle.

As described above, when the cutter is provided in the radial direction and is rotated in the circumferential direction at the tip of the nozzle, the viscous material discharged from the nozzle can be cut without scattering cutting chips.

Further, when a viscous material cut and separated from the discharge section is filled and placed on a forming section provided below the discharge section, the discharge section approaches and separates toward the forming section. It is effective to be able to vertically move.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. A raw material supply section 10 for containing and supplying a viscous raw material (hereinafter referred to as a raw material) 1 is provided. Although the configuration of the material supply unit 10 is omitted, the material can be supplied by various known pump mechanisms. A pipe 11 is connected to the material supply unit 10, and a housing 21 of the material discharge unit 20 is connected to the pipe 11.
Are vertically movably fitted by a vertical movement device 60.
A hole 12 is provided at a predetermined position of the pipe 11, and the hole 12 and the passage 22 of the housing 21 coincide with each other when the housing 21 is at the upper end position.

In a housing 21 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a passage 22 is bent, and a shaft 23 extends toward a nozzle portion 25 from a bent upper position. Shaft 23
A cutter 24 is axially mounted on the tip of the shaft 23 at a right angle to the shaft 23. A gear 26 is axially mounted on the other end of the shaft 23 outside the housing 21, and a gear 27 meshes with the gear 26.
The cutter 24 rotates by driving the motor 28, and further the cutter 24 rotates.

The cutter 24 is a wire having a thickness of about 1.5 mm, and has a length approximately equal to the radius of the nozzle portion 25 (a half of the inner diameter). ing. The cutter 24 is not limited to one, and a plurality of cutters 24 may be attached. When a plurality of cutters 24 are provided, the amount of rotation can be reduced.

The dough transfer section 30 is an apparatus for transferring the to-be-filled material 2 such as rice cake dough to the forming section 40. The transfer section 31 moves back and forth to form the dough transfer section 30.
The object 2 is transferred at a predetermined timing on the zero.

The molding part 40 is a patent publication 1365
The configuration is the same as that shown in No. 5, for example, the wrapping plates 41 and 42 face each other, and the wrapping plates 41 and 42 rotate inward in synchronization with the rotation of the rotating shafts 43 and 44. The wrapping plates 41 and 42 maintain a substantially horizontal position in the upper position, and the material 1 filled in the filler 2 transferred thereon is turned into a two-fold state so that the filler 2 wraps the material 1 with rotation. Then, after being separated from each other, the material 2 to be folded in two is discharged to the discharge unit 50.

Material discharging section 7 of another embodiment shown in FIG.
0, the housing 71 has a nozzle portion 73 extending from the bent passage 72, and the nozzle portion 73 has a shaft 7.
4 is installed. In this embodiment, the shaft 74 is provided outside the passage 72. A ring-shaped member 75 having the same inner diameter as the nozzle portion 73 is rotatably fitted to the nozzle portion 73. The ring-shaped member 75 is provided with a cutter 76 protruding in the radial direction. When the shaft 74 and the gear 78 are rotated by the motor 77, the gear 78
The ring-shaped member 75 is rotated by the gear 79 that meshes with.

The discharge of the raw material 1 according to this embodiment will be described. When the raw material supply unit 10 rotates a predetermined amount while the hole 12 and the passage 22 are in communication with each other, and the raw material 1 is supplied into the passage 22, 1 is pushed out from the nozzle part 25 by a predetermined amount. Next, the housing 21 descends and presses the material 1 onto the material 2 to be filled, and then moves up to the original upper end position. The rotation of the cutter 24 is performed at the same time as the housing 21 starts to rise,
Alternatively, it is activated just before that. When the material 1 is pressed against the material 2, the wrapping plates 41, 4
The material to be filled is sufficiently stretched in the circular recess formed by the step 2, and the material can be wrapped cheaply when the wrapping plates overlap. By repeating the above-described operation, the material 1 is reliably filled on the object 2.

[0018]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

[0019] Since a cutter at the nozzle of the viscous material discharge section is provided with a cutter rotating in the circumferential direction of the nozzle to cut and separate the viscous material discharged from the nozzle, a conventional linearly operated piano is used. There is no scattering of cutting debris like a wire cutter.

Further, when the viscous material cut and separated from the discharge portion is filled and placed on the forming portion provided below the material discharge portion, the discharge portion approaches and separates toward the forming portion. As described above, the material can be filled at a predetermined position of the material to be filled by allowing the material to move up and down.
