DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention weighs rice cracker dough that is continuously conveyed, weighs it to a certain amount according to the capacity of each net of the proofer, transfers it to the distribution container, supplies it to the distribution container, The distribution container is moved to the automatic proofing machine, and the distribution container is tilted to load the contents of the rice cracker dough into the automatic proofing machine. The operation of receiving, transferring, and charging the rice cracker dough is repeated, and when the rice cracker dough has been distributed into all the net baskets of the automatic proofing machine, the process proceeds to the next automatic proofing machine. In this way, rice cracker dough is sequentially loaded into all automatic proofing machines.
[0012]
There are a plurality of automatic proofing machines. As described above, the automatic proofing machines are sequentially charged and the rice cracker dough is filled into the fully automatic proofing machine. For example, if it takes 7 hours for each proofer, the proofing is performed sequentially with different charging times. This automatic proof machine will take a proof for 7 hours at 75 ° C. to 80 ° C., for example. If the processing speed of the next process is slow, the proof machine that has finished the proof will turn off the heater and wait for the next process. Adjust.
[0013]
In the above, if the ending of the proofing, the charging time of the rice cracker dough for each automatic proofing machine, etc. are set in advance, automatic operation can be performed all day by simply turning on the start switch first. If the size and shape of the rice cracker dough in the above and the heat source are kept constant, each rice cracker dough will be in the same finished state at the same time. Obtainable.
[0014]
Therefore, it seems to be a batch system at first glance, and the line is continuously processed so that the consistency of the production line can be maintained (the removal from the proofer is matched with the next process).
[0015]
According to the apparatus of the present invention, a measuring conveyor is connected to the rice cracker dough conveying conveyor, a distribution container is disposed on the outlet side of the weighing conveyor, and the distribution container reciprocates between each proofing machine, A common conveyor is laid at the bottom of each proofing machine, and a means to automatically open and close the open / close lid of each mesh basket is attached. Then, you can work smoothly by taking out the brewed rice cracker dough.
[0016]
In the proofing machine, the screen is radially laid outside the rotating shaft, so when the rice cracker dough is loaded into the upper screen, the proofing rice cracker dough is taken out simultaneously from the lower screen. Work can be streamlined.
[0017]
The proofing conditions vary depending on the quality, size, and shape of the rice cracker dough, but usually the heated air at 75 ° C. to 80 ° C. is circulated for 6 to 8 hours to finish the moisture to 10% to 20%. .
[0018]
Therefore, if several proofing machines are arranged in parallel, the brewing-processed rice cracker dough is continuously carried out to the carry-out conveyor by adding or removing the rice cracking dough with a time difference. It is also possible to match the processing speed of the next process.
[0019]
[Example 1]
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The rice cracker dough sent by the transfer conveyor is weighed to a fixed amount (for example, 80 kg) by the weighing conveyor, then placed in the bucket conveyor, lifted to the height of the distribution container, and supplied to the distribution container. Next, the distribution container moves on the rail and moves to a position facing the automatic proofing machine. After confirming the stoppage, the distribution container is tilted to load the rice cracker dough into the automatic proofing machine. Since there are several (for example, six) mesh nets installed on the automatic proofing machine, rice cracker dough is sequentially charged. Therefore, for example, if the dispensing container is reciprocated six times to load all the rice cracker dough, the loading of one proofing machine is completed, and at the same time, the extraction of the brewed rice cracker dough is also completed.
[0020]
As described above, the proofing process is started sequentially from the automatic proofing machine at the end of charging the rice cracker dough, so if all the proofing machines are charged with the rice cracker dough, the distribution container and other rice crackers are processed until the proofing process of the proofing machine is completed. The dough supply line is stopped.
[0021]
The conditions of the proofing process vary depending on the quality, size, shape, etc. of the rice cracker dough. For example, if hot air at 75 ° C. to 80 ° C. is circulated for 6 to 8 hours, the water content becomes 10% to 20%, and the proofing process is performed. Can be completed.
[0022]
The number of proofers of the proofing machine in the invention is not limited to a few, but it is necessary to subject the rice cracker dough to be continuously conveyed to a proofing process in a batch system for a predetermined time (baking, seasoning, alignment). , Packaging), etc., and the transfer of the brewed rice cracker dough is required to be sufficient.
[0023]
Therefore, it is only necessary to automatically operate the computer automatically, but since the processing time of proofing varies depending on the quality, shape, thickness, etc. of the rice cracker fabric, Care must be taken not to interfere with the processing of the next process.
[0024]
Since the processing conditions of the proofing can be set for each proofing machine, for example, proofing of rice crackers with different quality can be performed for every 480 kg (capacity of one proofing machine).
[0025]
