Further, two rows of molding holes 8a and 8b are provided along the circumferential direction on the turntables T1 and T2, respectively.

  A main weighing unit Q1 is disposed on one side of the lower turntable T1, and an auxiliary weighing unit Q1 is disposed on one side of the upper turntable T2. In the present embodiment, the shear supply mechanism Q is formed by the two mechanisms of the main weighing unit Q1 and the auxiliary weighing unit Q1, but it is of course possible to form the shear supply mechanism Q by only one mechanism of the turntable. It is.

  Then, the upper and lower conveyors U feed the shear r in the shear tray R into the shear hopper W, and further switch from the horizontal conveyor V to either the main weighing unit Q1 or the auxiliary weighing unit Q2 by switching the transfer roller. It is intended to supply the shari r. The cooked rice forming apparatus P is provided with a compression molding mechanism S for compressing the shear r filled in the molding holes 8a and 8b of the turntables T1 and T2, and the operation of each mechanism is monitored. A monitoring device M is provided.

  Further, each half of the forming hole 8a, 8b supplied with about half of the wrapping rice bran O from the main measuring portion Q1 to the forming holes 8a, 8b of the turntable T1 is formed in the forming hole 8a of the turntable T2. 8b, the receiving member 9 that can be moved up and down slides is pushed and transferred from below, and the auxiliary shaving is supplied from the auxiliary measuring portion Q2 onto the shaver r in the outer forming hole 8b. As described above, in the turntable T2, half of the shaver r is supplied to the outer molding hole 8b and the inner molding hole 8a, and the tool q is placed on the shaver r in the outer molding hole 8b by the tool supply mechanism N, for example. Then, the so-called wrapping rice ball O containing the tool q is formed by placing the shaver r in the inner molding hole 8a on the shaver r in the outer molding hole 8b by a shredding mechanism described later. It is like that.

  On the edge side of the turntable T2, as shown in FIG. 2, there is arranged a shear alignment mechanism 1 including a pair of left and right shear alignment arms 2a and 2b that can be opened and closed. A chamfer r in, for example, the inner molding hole 8a of the table T2 is held on the upper surface of the turntable T2 by raising the member 9, and the chamfer r is held by each of the chamfer alignment arms 2a and 2b of the chamfer alignment mechanism 1. The parts q are held and moved by the parts 3a and 3b so that the tool q is put on the shaving in the outer forming hole 8 so as to be sandwiched.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a specific configuration of the shear alignment mechanism 1 includes a driving portion at the upper end portion of the drive shaft 5 that can reciprocally swing in the horizontal direction via a shearing turning drive lever mechanism portion 4. One side of a substantially triangular plate-shaped shear alignment arm 2a as a side is supported, and an arc-shaped gripping portion 3a is provided at one end thereof. Then, the other shearing arm 2b as the driven part side having the arc-shaped gripping part 3b at the tip to face the gripping part 3a of the one shearing arm 2a is connected to the other end of the one shearing arm 2a. It is pivotally attached via a support shaft 6 so as to be rotatable.

  Further, on the side of the other alignment arm 2b, the other alignment arm 2b is closed to the one alignment arm 2a side while the both alignment arms 2a, 2b are swinging via the drive shaft 5. A restricting link mechanism 11 is provided for firmly holding the shaver r by matching the grip portions 3a and 3b.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the regulation link mechanism 11 has a curved guide long hole 12 formed on one end side of the other shearing arm 2 b as the driven portion side and is adjacent to the drive shaft 5. A guide pin 13 that stands upright as a stationary part at a position is loosely fitted in the guide long hole 12. The guide pin 13 is locked to the inner end portion side of the guide long hole 12 at the swinging ends of the two alignment arms 2a and 2b (see FIG. 3A or FIG. 3D). Thus, the two guide arms 2a and 2b are opened, and the guide pin 13 is positioned in the center of the guide long hole 12 during the swinging of the two guide arms 2a and 2b (FIG. 3B). Alternatively, see FIG. 3 (c)) to close the two alignment arms 2a and 2b.

Next, an example of use and operation of the best mode configured as described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the shaver r in the shunt tray R is put into the shaver hopper W by the vertical conveyor U, and the shaver r is thrown into either the main weighing unit Q1 or the auxiliary weighing unit Q2 by the horizontal carrier V. Is done.

  The operation of the main weighing unit Q1 and the auxiliary weighing unit Q2 of the cooked rice supply mechanism Q is as follows. First, a shaver r having a slightly smaller weight than the constant weight shaving of the single rice cake rice ball O is transferred from the main weighing unit Q1 by the transfer device T. About half amount is supplied into the molding holes 8a and 8b of a certain turntable T1. Then, after this shear weight is measured by a weight measuring device (not shown) (for example, 90% of the constant weight shear), it is pressed into the molding holes 8a and 8b of the turntable T2 by raising each receiving member 9 from below. ,Forward.

  On the other hand, the shaver r in the shaver hopper W is thrown into the auxiliary weighing unit Q2 by the horizontal transfer machine V by switching the transfer roller, and the weight difference is further transferred from the auxiliary weighing unit Q2 into the outer forming hole 8b in the turntable T2. Refill with 10% of the weight. As a result, high-precision constant-weight shear is supplied into the molding holes 8a and 8b on the turntable T2 side.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, after the tool q is placed on the shaver r in the outer molding hole 8b by the tool supply mechanism N, the shaver r in the inner molding hole 8a is It is placed on the shaver r in the outer molding hole 8b. At this time, a recess r 'is provided in the center of the upper surface of the shaver r, and q is filled in the recess r'.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, the shear r in, for example, the inner molding hole 8a of the turntable T2 is held on the same plane as the upper surface of the turntable T2 by the rising of the member 9. At this time, the shear r is disposed between the gripping portions 3a and 3b of the shear alignment arms 2a and 2b of the shear alignment mechanism 1 that has been waiting in advance on the molding hole 8a. Further, the regulating link mechanism 11 is slightly opened between the two alignment arms 2a and 2b by the guide pin 13 being locked to the inner end of the guide long hole 12.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, both the shearing arms 2a and 2b are rotated toward the outer forming hole 8b by the rotation of the drive shaft 5. At this time, in the restricting link mechanism 11, the guide pin 13 is positioned at the center of the guide long hole 12 in the middle of the swinging of the both alignment arms 2 a and 2 b via the drive shaft 5 (FIG. ) Or (c)), the two shearing arms 2a and 2b are closed, and the gripping portions 3a and 3b are matched so that the shaver r is firmly gripped. Then, both the sharpening arms 2a and 2b are rotationally moved to the position of the outer forming hole 8b of the turntable T2, and placed so as to sandwich the tool q on the shaver r in the outer forming hole 8b.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, when the upper pressing member 14 is lowered, the shaver r is held by the receiving member 9 so as to be flush with the upper surface of the turntable T2.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), the press member 14 is raised, and the shearing arms 2a and 2b positioned on the outer forming hole 8b of the turntable T2 are moved to the original positions on the inner forming hole 8a. To wait until the next operation.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4E, in a state where the press member 14 stands by at the raised position, the receiving member 9 is raised so that the upper surface thereof is flush with the upper surface of the turntable T2. As a result, the shaver r is held so that the lower surface thereof is flush with the upper surface of the turntable T2, and is therefore transferred by pressing to a compression molding mechanism, for example, in the next process by a transfer device (not shown). Compress.

  Thus, a triangular wrapping rice ball rice ball O is formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a circular wrapping rice ball rice ball may be formed as it is, or a rectangular wrapping rice ball rice ball may be formed. Of course.
