Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a cutter for kneaded food dough. This machine cuts dough into a predetermined size and shape using a rotating cutter while extruding dough such as rice cake, sweet bean paste, and confectionery dough using an extrusion spiral that rotates within an extrusion cylinder.

BACKGROUND ART There is a structure in which a group of rotatable rolls receives and draws out the dough extruded from an extrusion tube mouth while cutting and falling the dough.

Problems that the invention aims to solve When the dough extruded from the extrusion tube is received by a group of rotatable rolls, the dough tries to slide down the rolls due to its own weight, so it is cut from the extrusion tube by a cutter. If the dough is stretched while it is not separated, or if the roll group becomes difficult to rotate due to adhesion of dough and the feeding of the dough is stagnant, the shape of the dough is likely to be deformed and become unstable. . or,
After being cut and separated by the cutter, it is difficult for the fabric to fall down, and the pieces of fabric may polymerize while falling.
This results in unstable fabric divisions such as sticking together or sticking to each other.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention is based on a method in which dough for dough for rice cakes, sweet bean paste, etc. is extruded by an extrusion spiral 1 and cut into a predetermined size by a cutter 2. ,
The cutter for the kneaded food dough is provided with a pull-out roll shelf 6 which receives the dough extruded from the extrusion tube opening 4, and is provided with a pull-out roll shelf 6 in which 5 groups of freely rotatable pull-out rolls are connected in an endless manner and are driven to revolve.

Function of the device By the rotation of the extrusion spiral 1, the dough I supplied to the extrusion cylinder 3 is extruded forward from the extrusion cylinder opening 4, and the extruded dough I is cut from the extrusion cylinder opening 4 by the rotation of the cutter 2. Separated. When the dough extruded forward from the extrusion tube opening 4 is in a relatively small form, it is cut by the cutter 2 and received on the pull-out roll shelf 6, so that each roll 5 on the pull-out roll shelf 6 is It is transported by rotation and revolution drive. In addition, when the extruded dough I is in a long continuous longitudinal form, the dough I until it is cut by the cutter 2 is received on the upper surface of the pull-out roll shelf 6, and the roll shelf 6 is driven to revolve. Therefore, it is pulled out in synchronization with the speed of extrusion from the extrusion cylinder opening 4 due to the rotation of the extrusion spiral 1, and when it is pulled out to a predetermined length, it is cut and separated by the cutter 2 and placed on the pull-out roll shelf 6 as it is. The transfer will be processed.

In addition, even if the rotation speed of the extrusion spiral 1 is changed to a high speed, each roll 5 can rotate freely, so that the rotation of each roll 5 can be adjusted accordingly. The extrusion speed of the dough A from the extrusion cylinder opening 4 is adjusted to a slow speed by the frictional contact with the dough A, and the speed of pulling out the dough A or the transfer speed of the dough A on the pull-out roll shelf 6 is maintained in a constant relationship. Therefore, overlapping, joining, etc. of each fabric on the pull-out roll shelf 6 can be reduced, changes in expansion and contraction can be reduced, and the form of the cut fabric can be maintained constant.

Effects of the invention In this way, the pulling speed or transfer speed of the dough A on the pull-out roll shelf 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the extrusion speed from the extrusion tube opening 4, the inclination angle of the pull-out roll shelf 6, and even the adhesion force of the dough A. However, the extruded dough A is not subjected to large compression or tension, and there is no change in expansion or contraction while the dough I is being pulled out from the extrusion cylinder opening 4 onto the pull-out roll shelf 6, and is cut and separated by the cutter 2. The rolled dough is rarely overlapped or joined while being transferred on the pull-out roll shelf 6, and the form of the dough is not greatly deformed.

Embodiment In the illustrated example, a motor 8, a transmission device 9, etc. are provided inside the machine body 7, an extrusion cylinder 3 has a pair of left and right extrusion spirals 1 installed in the upper part, and a hopper 11 that supplies dough to the extrusion cylinder 3. A cutter 2, etc., which rotates close to the extrusion tube opening 4 formed at the front end of the extrusion tube 3 is provided, and the pull-out roll shelf 6 has one end visible below the extrusion tube opening 4 at the front side of the machine body 7. ing.

A pair of left and right extrusion spirals 1 are provided in a symmetrical configuration, and are rotated in opposite directions by a pair of parallel spiral shafts 2 in the horizontal direction to extrude the dough into the extrusion tube opening 4.
It is in the form of extrusion towards. The transmission device 13 of this helical shaft 12 is provided with a continuously variable transmission device 14, and is configured to change the rotation speed of the extrusion spiral 1 to change the amount of dough to be extruded.

A one-turn clutch 16 is provided between the transmission section of the shaft 15 of the cutter 2 and the transmission device 13, and a fabric sensor 17 consisting of an approach switch and the like provided in front of the extrusion tube opening 4 is placed on the pull-out roll shelf 6. Every time the dough is detected, the clutch 16 is turned on and the cutter 2 is rotated once and then stopped.

The pull-out roll shelf 6 has a large number of groups of 5 rolls arranged in an endless manner on a shelf frame 18. Both ends of each roll 5 are rotatably supported on a belt or chain 19, etc., and are endlessly arranged between sprockets 10. across the
It rotates in one direction and is driven by a motor 20 provided on the shelf frame 18. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which transmission can be connected from the transmission device 13.

The pull-out roll shelf 6 may be detachably attached to the machine body 7, and the inclined surface of the pull-out roll shelf 6 may be adjustable from a horizontal state to a downward slope.

The dough sensor 17 connects a mounting rod 22 provided integrally with a cover 21 covering the outer periphery of the rotation area of the cutter 2, the body 7, or the shelf frame 18 from the extrusion cylinder opening 4 in parallel along the upper surface of the pull-out roll shelf 6. It is arranged so that it can be moved and adjusted along the mounting rod 22, and the distance from the extrusion cylinder opening 4 can be adjusted. or,
This mounting rod 22 is preferably provided so as to be freely changeable in the same direction and at the same inclination angle as the pull-out roll shelf 6. 23 is a conveyor for transporting the dough pulled out from the pull-out roll shelf 6.

The dough I supplied from the hopper 11 by the rotation of the extrusion spiral 1 is extruded from the extrusion tube mouth 4 onto the front pull-out roll shelf 6, and when the tip of the dough I is detected by the dough sensor 17, clutch 16
When turned on, the cutter 2 rotates once to cut the dough I from the extrusion tube opening 4, and the dough I is transferred while being received on the upper surface of the drawer roll shelf 6.

Each roll 5 of this pull-out roll shelf 6 carries and sends out the dough I extruded from the extrusion tube opening 4 by rotating freely on its axis and by revolving drive, regardless of the slow extrusion speed of the dough I. When there is a continuous state from the top of the drawer roll shelf 6 to the extrusion tube opening 4,
Since it is difficult to apply forces such as stretching or compression to this dough, the dough is drawn out and transferred in a fixed manner.

In addition, if each piece of dough to be cut off from the extrusion tube opening 4 is small, it rolls on the pull-out roll shelf 6 one by one, but since each roll 5 is transmitted and rotated at a constant speed, it rolls first. There is no possibility that the following fabric I will catch up with the moved fabric A and come into contact with and adhere to it.
Large deformation of the dough can be reduced.
