It will be understood that positioning to an appropriate position in the front-rear direction is possible. When the cutter device 35 moves in the front-rear direction as described above, the sheet-like belt 123 is stopped without moving in the front-rear direction, and the front belt guide 121 in the cutter device 35 and the belt 123 are stopped. The rear belt guide 127 is relatively moved back and forth.
[0051]
Next, the case where the product 33P is die-cut from the sheet-shaped food dough 33 in the configuration as described above will be described.
[0052]
In order to widen the front side of the cutter device 35, first, in the state where the cutter device 35 is positioned at the last retracted position as shown in FIG. Place on the belt 123. At this time, the belt 123 is supported from below by a plurality of bars 147 attached to the chains 141L and 141R, so that it does not bend and the food dough 123 can be further extended on the belt 123. It is.
[0053]
As described above, after the food dough 33 is placed and positioned on the sheet-like belt 123, when the motor M <b> 2 is driven to advance the cutter device 35, the front and rear belt guides 121 and 127 are moved relative to the sheet-like belt 123. Therefore, the food dough 33 on the belt 123 moves relatively backward, and the vicinity of the rear end of the food dough 33 is located on the belt guide 127 on the rear side, and the female 79 , And between the male mold 81.
[0054]
When the food dough 33 is located between the female die 79 and the male die 81 as described above, when the front / rear operating device 129 is operated to move the rear belt guide 127 to the rear side, FIG. As shown schematically, the space between the front belt guide 121 and the rear belt guide 127 is widened, and the upper portion of the female die 79 is opened, so that a portion of the food dough 33 is placed on the upper surface of the female die 79. Will be in contact. In this state, the vertical movement device 111 is operated to lower the male die 81, whereby the product 33P is removed from the food dough 33 onto the food receiving member 19 as schematically shown in FIG. It will be dropped directly.
[0055]
Thereafter, as schematically shown in FIG. 7 (C), the male die 81 is raised and returned, and the rear belt guide 127 is advanced to the original position by the operation of the front / rear operating device 129 so that the upper side of the female die 79 is moved upward. When closed, the food dough 33 is separated from the female mold 79 and supported by the sheet-like belt 123. Then, the cutter device 35 is moved forward again as schematically shown in FIG. 7D and the food receiving member 19 is moved slightly backward by the operation of the motor M1, and then the rear belt guide 127 is moved. As shown in FIG. 7 (E), the upper side of the female die 79 is opened again, and the food dough 33 can be removed.
[0056]
Therefore, by repeating the operation as described above, the product 33P can be gradually removed from the food dough 33 and dropped onto the food receiving member 19.
[0057]
As described above, when the food dough 33 is die-cut by moving the cutter device 35 stepwise, the stepping pitch (L1) of the cutter device 35 can die-cut many products 33P from the food dough 33. For example, when the product 33P has a circular shape, it is desirable that the pitch be slightly larger than the diameter. However, in this case, the product 33P that has been punched and dropped on the food receiving member 19 is placed in a state of being too close. However, as described above, since the food receiving member 19 is moved in the slightly opposite direction with respect to the stepping direction of the cutter device 35, the pitch (L2) of the product 33P placed on the food receiving member 19 is equal to the cutter. This is larger than the step pitch (L1) of the device 35, and the pitch of the product 33P can be set to an appropriate pitch.
[0058]
The food receiving member 19 may be moved in the same direction as the moving direction of the cutter device 35 depending on the shape and properties of the product 33P or the stepping pitch of the cutter device 35, and the food receiving member 19 is placed at a fixed position. It can be positioned. That is, the moving direction and stop state of the food receiving member 19 are arbitrary.
[0059]
As can be understood from the above description, according to the present embodiment, the product 33P is punched from the sheet-shaped food dough 33 and directly dropped and placed on the food receiving member 19. It is not necessary to transfer the product 33P again onto the food receiving member 19 after the product 33P is cut from the product 33, so that the configuration becomes simpler and the efficiency can be improved.
[0060]
Further, since the product 33P is cut from the sheet-shaped food dough 33 and directly dropped and placed on the food receiving member 19, the overall occupied area can be reduced, and space saving can be achieved. It can be planned.
[0061]
Furthermore, when the product 33P is die-cut from the food dough 33 and dropped and placed, the food receiving member 19 can be appropriately moved. Therefore, the food receiving member 19 has a pitch larger than the pitch when the food dough 33 is die-cut.
