Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a food product-forming machine which can rapidly and smoothly narrow to cut the side face of cylindrical skin pasta filled with sweet bean jam by constituting the machine so that the narrow to cutting operation can be carried out by allowing a plurality of rotary disk blades to descend as they are coming closer to one another. CONSTITUTION:The cylindrical skin pasta 8 for covering sweet bean jam is extruded from the downward feeding nozzle 5 is narrowed to cut between a plurality of rotary disk blades 2, 2 and 2', 2' which reciprocate in the same direction and supported with the product receiver 4. During the processing, the disk blades 2, 2 and 2', 2' approach each other in the common horizontal plane to narrow the side face of the pasta 8, as they move down, until the pasta 8 is cut to form a ball pasta filled with the jam 8' on the receiver 4. Then, these disk blades 2, 2 and 2', 2' apart from each other on the common plane. These operations are repeated. During the operations, the skin pasta is in no need of rotation and causes no viscosity change whereby the formed food products of tough skin pasta are obtained.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a molding machine for foods such as confectionery.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, a device has been developed that cuts and forms a cylindrical filling material into pills by making one rotation of two co-rotating blades that contact the side surface of the cylindrical filling material that is extruded from a nozzle and descends. . As shown in FIG. 9, this same-direction rotary blade is composed of a spiral-shaped rotary blade C, which is not included in a common plane and has a spiral shape with l pitch, and is not circular and has a terminal end. A notch d is formed in the common diameter direction, and when the notches d and d match, cutting of the cylindrical filling material 8 is completed, and the lower end of the next cylindrical filling material 8 is cut out by the notches d and d.
It descends between the rotating blades c and c through the space between them. Therefore, the entire periphery of the two rotary blades C and C hits the side surface of the cylindrical filling material 8 and the cutting time is long, which may cause accidents such as tearing depending on the material. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the cylindrical filling material 8 in the directions of arrows a and b in FIG. However, when turning, there is a problem that the base material loses its elasticity due to the rotation and becomes soft, and there is a problem that it is difficult to deal with the viscosity of the base material.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The object of the present invention is to provide a food forming machine that can quickly and smoothly draw and cut the side of a cylindrical filling base using a rotating circular blade and adapt to the viscosity of the base. It is something.

Consisted of.

"Operation" Therefore, the cylindrical filling material 8 extruded from the downward raw material supply nozzle 5 is formed by a plurality of circular blades 2.2 and 21 that reciprocate in the same direction.
．． 21 is supported by the molded food holder 4, and during processing, the circular blades 2.2, 2', and 2' also descend while squeezing the sides of the base 8 while approaching each other in a common horizontal plane. Finally, the base material 8 is cut and formed into a round filling material 8' on the receiver 4 as shown in FIG. 8, and then taken out.

Thereafter, the circular blades 2.2, 2', and 2' are separated from each other in a common horizontal plane (this state is shown in FIG. 5), and the above-mentioned operation is repeated. However, if the circular blades 2.2 and 21.21 rotate only in one direction, they should be rotated in that one direction.

``Embodiment'' An elevating guide tube lO provided at the lower part of the machine frame l is slidably fitted into an upright fixed guide guide 9 provided on the machine base 6, and the machine frame l is held movably up and down. There are multiple (
circular blades 2.2 and 2' rotating in the same direction;
2' are respectively provided at the upper end of an upright rotating shaft 11, and the rotating shaft 11 is pivotally supported by a bearing 13 that can slide back and forth along a horizontal guide guide 12.12, and is rotated in a fixed direction by a gear 14 and a timing belt 15. Rotate it. The horizontal guide 12.12 is parallel to the direction of the straight line connecting the center lines of the pair of circular blades 2.2 and 2', 2', and is parallel to the direction of the straight line connecting the center lines of the pair of circular blades 2.2, 2', 21. It is provided in the direction of approaching and moving away. and the above-mentioned upright rotating shaft 11
The lower end of the lateral arm 17 is rotatably fitted into one end of a rectangular thrust bearing plate 16, and the side arm 17 is protruded from the other end of the bearing plate 16.
It is pivoted to an upward pin 20 provided on the outer periphery of a reciprocating rotary disk 19 provided on the central axis 18 of the machine frame l at the tip of the machine, and the reciprocating rotation of the disk 19 causes the bearing plate 16 to move as shown in FIG. The upright rotary shaft 11.11 and the circular blade 2.2 are moved closer to each other by moving from the solid line position to the imaginary line position in the figure, and by returning from the phantom line position to the solid line position in FIG.
