BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an automatic baking apparatus for okonomiyaki capable of mass-producing okonomiyaki.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, this type of automatic baking apparatus for okonomiyaki has a conveyor conveyer in which a large number of baking plates are connected in an endless belt shape, and this conveying conveyor is provided with a lower heating means for baking the baking plate over substantially the entire length of the conveyor, and okonomiyaki The feeding means for supplying the material on the baking plate is arranged above the rear part of the conveyor, and the shaping means for shaping the okonomiyaki material placed on the baking board into a substantially circular shape by scraping the peripheral edge of the material on the conveyor There is an arrangement in which a reversing unit that is disposed in front of the supply unit and that reverses the material of the okonomiyaki that is conveyed while baking the lower surface with a baking plate is disposed above the conveying conveyor. Such an okonomiyaki automatic baking apparatus rotates and drives a conveyor conveyer in which a large number of endlessly connected baking plates are connected, supplies the okonomiyaki material to the baking plate of the conveyor, and heats the baking plate to okonomiyaki. While baking the ingredients of the okonomiyaki, convey the okonomiyaki material forward on the conveyor and scrape the periphery of the okonomiyaki material into a substantially circular shape. If necessary, the okonomiyaki is pressed from the top to the entire surface, then the okonomiyaki is shaped into a substantially circular shape, the okonomiyaki is baked to an appropriate state, and the okonomiyaki is carried out.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional okonomiyaki automatic baking apparatus, since the baking plates are connected in an endless belt shape, the feeding time of the baking plate in the forward path of the conveyor is set to 5 to 15 minutes to sufficiently burn the okonomiyaki material. If set, the return time of the baking plate will be the same even in the return path of the conveyor, so the temperature of the baking plate is lowered. For this reason, immediately after the okonomiyaki material is supplied to the baking plate that has been circulated again to the transport conveyor, the okonomiyaki material is not heated sufficiently, and the okonomiyaki material flows over the baking plate and sticks out of the baking plate. In addition, the okonomiyaki has a bad burn condition due to the extreme temperature drop of the iron plate.
[0004]
In addition, in the conventional okonomiyaki automatic baking equipment, the okonomiyaki material flows on the baking plate and sticks out of the baking plate, and the shape of the okonomiyaki collapses. It is assumed that it is equipped with a shaping means that scrapes the edges and shapes it into a roughly circular shape, and the shaping means scrapes the periphery of the okonomiyaki material into a roughly circular shape, but to make the baked okonomiyaki nearly circular In addition to being time-consuming, there is a problem that it cannot be made into a complicated shape such as a contour shape of an animal's face or a heart shape.
[0005]
Furthermore, in the conventional automatic baking apparatus for okonomiyaki, a material cup or the like is used as the supply means for supplying the okonomiyaki material onto the baking plate, but this material cup or the like is repeatedly loaded and unloaded with the okonomiyaki material. The material of the okonomiyaki stuck to the inner wall of the material cup, and the okonomiyaki material could not be quantitatively supplied, resulting in a problem that the size of the okonomiyaki that was completed was reduced.
[0006]
Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of the conventional okonomiyaki automatic baking apparatus described above, and the material of the okonomiyaki does not flow on the baking plate and does not protrude from the baking plate. The temperature of the okonomiyaki is good because the temperature does not decrease significantly, and the shape of the animal's face can be made into a complex shape such as the contour shape of the animal's face or heart shape. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic baking apparatus for okonomiyaki, in which the okonomiyaki can be supplied in a fixed quantity and the size of the okonomiyaki thus prepared is uniform.
[0007]

Therefore, the automatic baking apparatus for okonomiyaki according to the present invention includes a heating unit 3 that heats the baking plate 2 from below in the machine base 1, and a conveying unit 4 that transfers the baking plate 2 above the heating unit 3. Is equipped with okonomiyaki material supply means 5 on the front end side of the machine base 1, okonomiyaki material shaping means 6 from the front edge of the machine base 1 to the middle, and okonomiyaki reversal in the middle of the machine base 1 Means 7 is provided, and further, a rapid return means 10 for the baking plate 2 is provided below the feed gear 4a and the feed gear 4b of the transport means 4. Then, the shaping means 6 hangs a shaping frame 25 provided with a plurality of appropriately shaped molds between a feed gear 26a and a feed gear 26b installed above the baking plate 2 moved by the conveying means 4. It is assumed that a large number of them are mounted in parallel on the chain conveyor 27 that has been handed over, and these shaping frames 25 are placed on the baking plate 2 and moved in an appropriate distance in synchronism with the baking plate 2, while the okonomiyaki material is halfway between them. After baking, the half-baked okonomiyaki material is left on the baking plate 2 so as to rise obliquely, and after rising to a position sufficiently away from the okonomiyaki material, the shaped frame 25 is moved back to the original position by the chain conveyor 27. I'm trying to return to.
[0008]
Furthermore, in the okonomiyaki automatic baking apparatus according to the present invention, the supply means 5 includes four sets of holding frames 20 holding a plurality of material cups 19 at a material supply position A, a stirring position B, a material dropping position C, and a standby position D.
