When manufacturing the ice monaca B as shown in FIG. 7, the discharge device A of the present embodiment discharges ice cream while being covered with chocolate, and fills the covered ice cream 1 into a rectangular container 2 made of a wafer. It is configured to be able to. In particular, by applying to the ice monaca manufacturing apparatus C shown in FIG. 4, the ice monaca B can be continuously manufactured.

  First, the configuration of the ejection device A will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The discharge device A includes an ice cream discharge nozzle 11, a coated food (chocolate) discharge nozzle 12 disposed so as to surround the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, and between the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 and the coated food discharge nozzle 12. The ice cream molding nozzle 10 having the arranged heating member 13 is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the discharge device A is configured by arranging a plurality of ice cream forming nozzles 10 (six) in parallel, and can fill the six covered ice creams 1 at a time. However, the number of ice cream forming nozzles 10 that form the discharge device A is not limited, and it is preferable that the number is appropriately arranged in accordance with the specifications of the ice monaca manufacturing device C.

  The ice cream discharge nozzle 11 discharges the supplied ice cream, and the shape of the discharge port 11 a has a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the target coated ice cream 1. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the coated ice cream 1 is substantially rectangular, and the discharge port 11a of the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is also formed in a substantially rectangular shape.

  The ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is connected to a pipe 15 connected to an ice cream pumping means (not shown). The pipe 15 is composed of a header pipe 15a and a branch pipe 15b branched from the header pipe 15a and connected to the individual ice cream discharge nozzles 11.

  The header tube 15a is formed with a connecting portion 15c to the ice cream pressure feeding means, and a stirring member (not shown) is disposed inside the header tube 15a, and the stirring member 16 is driven by the stirring motor 16 provided at the end. The ice cream pumped to the header pipe 15a is stirred and can be divided into the branch pipes 15b.

  An ice cream molding nozzle 10 is provided for each branch pipe 15b. The branch pipe 15b is supplied with ice cream to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, or a pressure that adjusts the internal pressure of the pipe 15 (branch pipe 15b) and a drive piston cylinder 17 that drives a valve 17a that stops supply. A punching device 18 is provided. Each branch pipe 15b is provided with a cock 19 in the middle of the pressure relief device 18 and the header pipe 15a so that the selected branch pipe 15b can be opened and closed by selectively operating the cock 19. It is configured.

  The valve 17a supplies ice cream to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 or stops the supply. This valve 17a is driven by a drive piston cylinder 17, and when the rod of the drive piston cylinder 17 is extended, the branch pipe 15b is closed to stop the supply of ice cream, and when the rod is retracted, the branch pipe 15b is opened. It is configured to supply ice cream.

  The valve 17a may have any function as described above. However, it is preferable that the valve 17a can be projected to the discharge port 11a of the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 when the rod of the drive piston cylinder 17 is extended. By configuring the valve 17a in this way, the ice cream does not remain inside the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 when a series of filling operations of the coated ice cream 1 is completed.

  The pressure relief device 18 adjusts the pressure in the pipe by ice cream fed to the branch pipe 15b via the header pipe 15a, and is disposed inside the piston cylinder 18a, the chamber 18b, and the chamber 18b. And a piston 18c driven by 18a.

  When the ice cream discharge from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is stopped, the rod of the piston cylinder 18a is pulled in by the ice cream being pumped as the internal pressure of the branch pipe 15b rises, and thereby the ice is discharged into the chamber 18b. By sucking the cream, it is possible to adjust the internal pressure of the branch pipe 15b. When the rod of the piston cylinder 18a reaches the retracting limit, the piston 18c disposed in the chamber 18b is located at the top dead center, and the inside of the chamber 18b is filled with ice cream.

  Further, when the ice cream is discharged from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, the rod of the piston cylinder 18a is extended, the piston 18c is driven, and the ice cream sucked in the chamber 18b is pushed out to the branch pipe 15b to branch. In addition to adjusting the internal pressure of the tube 15b, it is possible to pump the ice cream in the chamber 18b in addition to the ice cream pumped from the ice cream pumping means. Therefore, the supply of ice cream to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 can be realized in a short time.

  The coated food discharge nozzle 12 discharges the supplied coated food and covers the periphery of the ice cream discharged from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11. Therefore, the coated food discharge nozzle 12 is disposed so as to surround the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, and the discharge port 12 a of the coated food discharge nozzle 12 is downstream of the discharge port 11 a of the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 in the discharge direction. It is configured to be on the side.

  Further, the coated food discharge nozzle 12 is disposed in an inclined state with respect to the axis 11b of the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 so that the discharge direction intersects with the discharge direction of the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 on the downstream side. The inclination angle of the coated food discharge nozzle 12 with respect to the axis 11b is not limited as long as the ice cream being discharged can be smoothly coated.

  A pipe 21 connected to a coated food pumping means (not shown) is connected to the coated food discharge nozzle 12. The pipe 21 includes a distribution pipe 21a that distributes the coated food that has been pressure-fed and a branch pipe 21b that branches from the distribution pipe 21a, and is connected to the coated food pressure-feeding means at a substantially central portion of the distribution pipe 21a. A portion 21c is formed.

  A rotary valve 22 that constitutes an on-off valve across the branch pipe 21b and a drive piston cylinder 23 that drives the rotary valve 22 are provided. By operating the drive piston cylinder, the coated food discharge nozzle 12 On the other hand, the coated food is supplied or the supply can be stopped.

  The heating member 13 holds the temperature of the coated food in order to ensure the fluidity of the coated food supplied to the coated food discharge nozzle 12. For this reason, what is necessary is just to be able to exhibit the said function, and a structure is not limited. As a heating member having such a function, there are a heater for heating by energization and a member for heating by circulating a heating fluid.

  In the present embodiment, the coated food discharge nozzle 12 can be heated by circulating hot water. For this reason, the heating member 13 is disposed between the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 and the coated food discharge nozzle 12 and along the inner peripheral surface of the coated food discharge nozzle 12, and a flow path 13a of hot water is formed therein. In addition, a connecting portion 13b for supplying or discharging hot water is provided at a predetermined position. And it is comprised so that it can hold | maintain at a substantially constant temperature by connecting with the supply means and drainage means of warm water through the hose which is not shown connected to the said connection part 13b.

  The heating member 13 may be configured not only to heat the coated food discharge nozzle 12 but also to heat the ice cream discharge nozzle 11. Thus, when the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is heated, the ice cream in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is fluidized, and the resistance during discharge can be reduced.

  Drive piston cylinder 17 disposed in the branch pipe 15 b connected to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, piston cylinder 18 a constituting the pressure release device 18, and rotary disposed in the branch pipe 21 b connected to the coated food discharge nozzle 12 The operation timing including the drive timing and the operation sequence of the drive piston cylinder 23 that drives the valve 22 can be adjusted.

  The configuration of the control device that controls the drive timing and operation sequence of each of the piston cylinders 17, 18a, and 23 is not particularly limited, and depends on the combination of sensors and timers, the combination of sensors and sequencers, and the combination of sensors and computers. It is possible to configure. And it is possible to control a drive timing and an operation | movement order by adjusting the attachment position of sensors, and the setting time by a timer suitably.

  Next, the configuration of an ice monaca manufacturing apparatus C that employs the discharge apparatus A configured as described above will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The ice monaca manufacturing apparatus C has a slat conveyor 31 that is transferred from the left side to the right side in FIG. From the upstream side to the downstream side of the slat conveyor 31, a monaca supply machine 32 made of a wafer that becomes the container 2 shown in FIG. 7, a dust collector 33, a discharge device A according to the present embodiment, and a monaca cover machine 34 and the ice monaca discharging device 35 are arranged in this order. The monaca feeder 32, the dust collector 33, the monaca cover 34, and the ice monaca discharge device 35 are each commonly used.

  The monaca feeder 32 is provided with six rows of hoppers 32a in the width direction of the slat conveyor 31, and a plurality of monacas 2 (containers 2) are accommodated in each hopper 32a. The monaca accommodated in the hopper 32 a is supplied to the slat conveyor 31 at the lowermost end and is transferred by the slat conveyor 31.

  The dust collector 33 discharges debris and the like inside the monaca 2. When the transferred monaca 2 enters the hood 33a, the dust collector 33 injects air into the monaca 2 and sucks it to discharge debris and the like. It is possible to collect dust.

  When the monaca 2 that has passed through the dust collector 33 is transferred to the discharge device A, the discharge device A starts operating, and the ice cream covered with the coated food on the monaca 2 is filled. Here, the filling operation by the discharge device A will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  First, when the monaca 2 is transferred to a position opposite to the discharge device A, the vertical movement cam 36 driven in response to the drive of the slat conveyor 31 is actuated to lower the discharge device A, and the ice cream molding nozzle 10 Stops at a position facing the upper side of the monaca 2 (see FIG. 5A).

  At this time, the valve 17a closes the branch pipe 15b, and supply of ice cream to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is stopped. The piston 18c of the pressure relief device 18 is at the top dead center, and the chamber 18b is filled with ice cream. Further, the rotary valve 22 is closed, and the supply of the coated food to the coated food discharge nozzle 12 is stopped. In this state, the ice cream pressure feeding unit and the coated food pressure feeding unit are driven, and the pressures from the respective pressure feeding units are applied to the inside of the pipes 15 and 21. Further, warm water is circulated through the heating member 13, and the coated food discharge nozzle 12 is heated.

  In the above state, the rotary valve 22 is first opened. The fluidized coated food is discharged from the coated food discharge nozzle 12 as the rotary valve 22 is opened. Since the discharged coated food is inclined so that the discharge direction of the coated food discharge nozzle 12 intersects the axis 11b on the downstream side of the discharge direction by the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, it is discharged adjacently on the downstream side of the discharge direction. The coated coated foods are integrated to form a film.

  After discharging the coated food from the coated food discharge nozzle 12, the drive cylinder 17 is driven with the time difference set in advance to retract the valve 17a, thereby supplying ice cream from the branch pipe 15b. The ice cream is discharged from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11. Accordingly, a film of the coated food exists in front of the ice cream discharged from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, and this film covers the front end surface of the discharged ice cream. That is, the ice cream having the front end surface covered with the coated food is discharged from the ice cream molding nozzle 10. When ice cream discharge starts from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, the pressure in the pipe 15 decreases.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the piston cylinder 18a of the pressure release device 18 is driven to push out the piston 18c, and the ice cream sucked into the chamber 18b is discharged to increase the internal pressure of the branch pipe 15b. Let As described above, by discharging the ice cream from the pressure relief device 18, it is possible to supply a stable amount of ice cream to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11. Therefore, it is possible to discharge the ice cream in which the coated food is coated with a substantially constant thickness from the ice cream molding nozzle 10 to the monaca in a stable state and fill the monaca 2.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, when the piston cylinder 18a of the pressure release device 18 extends and the piston 18c reaches the bottom dead center and releases the entire amount of ice cream sucked into the chamber 18b, the monaca 2 The ice cream satisfying the amount to be filled is supplied to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11. However, not all of the ice cream supplied to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is filled in the monaca 2 but is still in the ice cream discharge nozzle 11.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6A, the drive cylinder 17 is driven to advance the valve 17 a in the direction of the discharge port 11 a of the ice cream discharge nozzle 11. While the valve 17a moves forward, the branch pipe 15b is closed to stop the supply of ice cream to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11, and the monaca 2 is filled with the ice cream remaining in the ice cream discharge nozzle 11.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, when the ice cream discharge from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 stops when the valve 17a reaches the forward limit, the rotary valve 22 continues to open, After the discharge stops, the rotary valve 22 stops when a preset time has elapsed. Due to this time difference, the rear end surface of the discharged ice cream is coated with the coated food.

  As described above, when the filling of the coated ice cream 1 into the monaca 2 is completed, the discharge device A is raised with the operation of the vertical movement cam 36, returns to the initial position, and one cycle of the filling operation is completed.

  The movement limit of each piston cylinder 17, 18 a, 23 when performing the operation of one cycle is detected by a sensor provided in each cylinder, and a detection signal is transmitted to a control unit including a sequencer provided in the control panel 37, The control unit can perform drive control of the ice monaca manufacturing apparatus C according to a preset program.

  When the filling of the coated ice cream 1 into the monaca 2 is completed as described above, the ice cream and the coated food at the filling completion site are filled with a part extending upward as shown in the figure.

  The monaca 2 filled with the coated ice cream 1 is transferred by the slat conveyor 31 and faces the monaca lid covering machine 34 having a hopper 34a containing a plurality of monacas 2, an extraction rotating member 34b, and a dust removing member 34c. In the Monaca lid covering machine 34, the Monaca 2 at the lowermost end accommodated in the hopper 34a is separated by the take-out rotating member 34b, and then lowered while rotating 90 degrees. When rotated 90 degrees, the monaca 2 faces the dust removing member 34c, and dust removal gas is jetted to remove dust inside.

  Then, it further descends while rotating 90 degrees and covers the Monaca 2 filled with the coated ice cream 1 placed on the slat conveyor 31 as a lid. As a result, Ice Monaca B is manufactured.

  The ice monaca B is further transferred by the slat conveyor 31 and reaches the ice monaca discharging device 35. The ice monaca discharging device 35 includes a takeout member 35a for taking out the ice monaca B placed on the slat conveyor 31, a transfer member 35b for transferring the takeout member 35a in a suspended state, and a discharge conveyor 35c. Configured.

  Then, when the ice monaca B is transferred to a position below the take-out member 35a, the arm of the take-out member 35a descends and grips the arm monaca B and rises. The take-out member 35a is transferred to the upper side of the discharge conveyor 35c by the transfer member 35b, and the ice monaca B is placed on the discharge conveyor 35c. The ice monaca B placed on the discharge conveyor 35c is transported to the next process (not shown), and operations (for example, boxing and freezing) set in the next process are performed.

  Ice monaca B can be manufactured by the manufacturing apparatus C as described above.

  In particular, when filling the monaca 2 with ice cream coated with coated food from the discharge device A, it is possible to change the thickness of the ice cream or change the coating thickness of the coated food.

  For example, when the ice cream is supplied to the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 or the thickness of the ice cream is changed by controlling the driving of the valve 17a for stopping the supply, the valve 17a is moved backward to remove the ice cream from the ice cream. After the supply to the discharge nozzle 11, the valve 17a is advanced to reduce the opening area of the branch pipe 15b, whereby the ice cream to be discharged can be made thinner by reducing the supply amount.

  Further, after the valve 17a is retracted, the extension of the rod of the piston cylinder 18a constituting the pressure release device 18 is stopped, or the extension speed is reduced, so that the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 is supplied via the branch pipe 15b. It is also possible to reduce the amount of ice cream. Even in this case, the ice cream discharged from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 can be made thinner.

  Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the ice cream is substantially reduced by controlling the operation timing including the drive timing and operation sequence of the drive piston cylinder 17 that drives the valve 17a and / or the piston cylinder 18a that drives the piston 18c of the pressure release device 18. It is possible to discharge into a fixed rod shape, discharge into a rod shape with both front and rear ends thicker and thinner at the center, and discharge into a rod shape with thinner front and rear ends and a thick central portion.

  Further, by adjusting the driving timing of the piston cylinder 17 and the driving timing of the piston cylinder 23 for opening and closing the rotary valve 22, it is also possible to adjust the coating thickness of the coated food on the front and rear end faces of the coated ice cream 1. is there.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to control the coating thickness of the ice cream by the coated food by controlling the driving speed of the piston cylinder 18a. That is, the coating thickness is reduced by increasing or decreasing the discharge speed of the ice cream discharged from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 while keeping the amount of the coated food discharged from the coated food discharge nozzle 12 constant. It is possible to increase the thickness.

  The discharge device A according to the present invention can cover the entire surface of the ice cream discharged from the ice cream discharge nozzle 11 with a coated food, and is used when manufacturing a coated ice cream containing ice monaca B. It is advantageous.
