Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a spread plate frame feeding device used primarily in automatic roll bread manufacturing equipment.

Referring to FIG. 4, an outline of the automatic roll bread manufacturing apparatus is shown in which an overhead proofer 1, a molder 2, a roll forming device 3, a sesame feeding device 4, and an oven device 5 are arranged in this order.

Here, the overhead proofer 1 is a device configured to receive a certain amount of rolled bread dough and transport it therein for a certain period of time required for fermentation.

The molder 2 is a device that compresses the dough sent out from the overhead proofer 1 and forms it into a sheet.

The roll forming device 3 has a belt conveyor for receiving and stopping the dough at the lower end of the molder 2, and forms the dough on the belt into a roll. , a totalizing device 6 capable of detecting and totalizing falling bread dough using a phototube, and a stopper opening/closing device 7 interlocked with the totalizing device 6.

The frame feeding device 4 includes a spreading plate sending belt 11 having a first stopper 9 for waiting the sent spreading plates 8, a second stopper 10 for moving the spreading plates 8 one by one to a determined predetermined position, and a spreading plate sending belt 11. 11, the frame feed belt 1 moves the press position of the spreading plate 8 to the falling point of the dough falling from the molder 2, and moves the position of the spreading plate 8 at intervals of each press section corresponding to the falling dough.
It consists of 2.

The opening device 5 is a device for heating the fed bread dough on the spreading plate 8 for a necessary time.

The present invention relates to an improvement of the frame feeding device 4 portion in such an automatic bread making device.

(Prior art) In the conventional frame feed device 4, the frame feed device 4 operates to input and change data such as the stop position of the spread plate 8, the amount of movement (pitch), the number of presses of the spread plate 8, and the operation timing of the stopper of the spread plate feed device. For some it was impossible.

Therefore, in order to respond to changes in the situation (for example, when changing to a spreading plate 8 with a different number of presses or press intervals), the apparatus must be stopped each time, which is extremely complicated.

(Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention) The present invention provides a frame advance device 4 in which these values can be input and changed without stopping the device even while the frame advance device 4 is in operation. This is what I am trying to do.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an automatic bread making apparatus that controls the operation of the falling of bread dough and the movement of the rolling plate 8 based on control data set in advance within the control mechanism. A changed data temporary storage circuit and a changed data import signal circuit are attached to the control mechanism of the spread plate frame feeder 4, and when the control mechanism senses the input of both signals, it is configured to operate based on the new data resulting from the change, and the device operates. Among other things, it is an object of the present invention to provide a spread plate frame advancing device 4 which is characterized in that control data can be changed at any time.

(Example) First, the mechanical elements of the frame advance device 4 used in the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 4 and 3.

The frame feed device 4 includes a frame feed belt 12 and a spread plate feed belt 11.

The frame feed belt 12 has two dogs 13 attached to the belt so as to be at the original position at a horizontal point, a drive motor M for the belt, and a driving force consisting of a brake and a clutch for causing the frame feed operation of the belt. A transmission mechanism K, a rotary encoder E for reading the moving distance to stop the belt at a designated position, and an original position sensor 14 for detecting the horizontal position of the dog 13 are provided.

On the other hand, the rolling plate delivery belt 11 has a first stopper 9 that waits the successive rolling plates 8 that have been sent, and a second stopper 10 that moves the rolling plates 8 one by one to a determined predetermined position.

Next, the basic operation of the frame advancing device 4 will be explained.

The spreading plate 8 sent by the spreading plate sending belt 11 is temporarily stopped by a first stopper 9.

Thereafter, the first stopper 9 opens instantaneously, sending out only the - number of spreading plates 8 and stopping the other spreading plates 8.

The rolling plate 8 sent out here moves, and when the press section of the first row of the rolling plate 8 has not reached the dough falling point, it moves to the second row. It is stopped by the travers 10.

After the dough falls into the first row press section, counting starts and the second stopper 10 opens.

At this time, the spread plate 8 moves, but stops because the frame feed belt 12 is stopped at the second row designated position (dog 13 position).

After the dough falls into the second row press section, counting and encoder integration begin.

The spreading plate 8 moves to the third row press section. This moving distance is determined based on encoder integration.

After the last row of fabric falls, the dog 13 position returns to the specified position,
After that, repeat the operation.

The following will explain the overall configuration shown in FIG. 1.

The data input by the digital switch is stored in the data temporary storage circuit, and at the same time, the capture signal input by the separate switch is also stored. When both signals are input, the gate turns ON, and then the original position sensor 14O
Upon detection of the N signal, new data is taken into the control mechanism, and intermittent control is performed based on the new data.

This control mechanism inputs external signals such as a rotary encoder and outputs control signals to motors, clutches, brakes, etc.

Next, the operation of the control mechanism will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
