Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to a food molding nozzle that can mold cream confectionery, ice cream, etc. into a specific shape, and is particularly suitable for molding several types of food materials into a spiral rod shape. The present invention relates to a food molding nozzle that can be molded.

<Prior art> Conventional food molding nozzles of this type include Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-46770 and Jikkosho, which were developed by the applicant.
The techniques shown in Japanese Patent No. 56-45431 and Japanese Patent No. 58-45592 are known.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, these techniques have problems such as the difficulty of molding various types or colors of confectionery, ice cream, etc. into specific changed shapes. It was hot.

The present invention is a completely new technology developed in view of these drawbacks of the conventional technology, and particularly aims to provide a food molding nozzle that can continuously mold many types or colors of food in an extremely beautiful state. That is.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention makes the block at the end of a central nozzle consisting of a plurality of blocks rotatable, and forms an enlarged diameter opening having a diameter that is unusually larger than the diameter of the central nozzle. , and a nozzle rotatable about the central nozzle is provided around the central nozzle,
Further, in the food forming nozzle, the end opening of the rotatable nozzle is bored in the inner peripheral wall surface of the enlarged diameter opening formed in the end block of the central nozzle.

<Function> As described above, in the present invention, a plurality of rotating nozzles that can rotate along the central nozzle are provided around the central nozzle that can pour out the food material, and these The end opening of the rotating nozzle is formed by perforating the inner peripheral wall surface of the tip of the center nozzle, so that the food material poured out from the plurality of rotating nozzles is placed around the food material sequentially poured out in a rod shape from the center nozzle. By alternately winding the material in a spiral shape and forming it, a spiral rod-shaped food product can be continuously manufactured.

<Example> To specifically explain an example of the nozzle according to the present invention with reference to figures, in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1
is a central nozzle, which is composed of an upper block 1a, a middle block 1b, and a lower block 1c (all explained in the state shown in FIG. 2, the same applies hereinafter), and the open end of the lower block 1c It is configured as an enlarged opening with a diameter larger than the diameter of the central nozzle 1. The peripheral wall of the middle block 1b of the central nozzle 1 includes the filling ports 2a, 3a of the second nozzle 2 and the third nozzle 3, and a communication passage 2 communicating with these.
b, 3b are provided, respectively, and the ends of these communicating passages 2b, 3b are exposed on the outer peripheral wall of the middle block 1b. A spur gear 5 is rotatably mounted around the middle block 1b of the central nozzle 1 via a first bearing. Also, around the lower part of the middle block 1b, a first rotary plate 6 is connected to a second bearing 7.
The first rotating plate 6 and the spur gear 5 are connected to each other via bolts 8. Inside the rotating plate 6, hook-shaped communicating passages 2c and 3c are bored, respectively, which can communicate with the ends of the communicating passages 2b and 3b of the middle block 1b. Also, the first rotating plate 6 and the middle block 1b are O.
It is sealed by ring 9. 10 is the second
This is a stopper for attaching the bearing 7 to the first rotary plate 6, and is attached and fixed with a bolt 11. 12 is a second rotating plate, and a bolt 13
It is integrally connected to the first rotary plate 6 via the rotary plate 6, and its interior forms the lower block 1c of the central nozzle 1, as described above. This second rotating plate 1
2 are provided with hook-shaped communication passages 2d and 3d communicating with the ends of the communication passages 2c and 3c, and the ends of the communication passages 2d and 3d are connected to the inner periphery of the enlarged diameter opening formed in the lower block 1c. A hole is drilled into the wall.

In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a continuously variable transmission, and a gear 15 provided at the tip thereof meshes with the spur gear 5, and rotates the spur gear 5 and the first rotary plate 6 and second rotary plate 12 connected thereto, respectively. It is constructed so that it can rotate around the middle block 1b of the central nozzle 1. In the figure, 16 is a conveyor that receives the molded product from the nozzle.

To explain the operation of the nozzle according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. The materials b and c poured out through the passages and supplied from the second nozzle 2 and the third nozzle 3 are respectively connected to the communication passages 2b, 2c, 2.
d, 3b, 3c, and 3d, it is poured onto the inner peripheral wall of the enlarged diameter opening of the central nozzle 1 provided in the lower block 1c. Therefore, since the second rotary plate 12 having the lower block 1c is rotated integrally with the first rotary plate 6 by the spur gear 5, the inside of the enlarged diameter opening is closer to the communication passages 2d and 3d. The materials b and c poured out onto the peripheral wall are spirally wound around the rod-shaped material a poured out from the central nozzle 1.
As a whole, three types (three colors) of spiral bar-shaped sweets A are continuously arranged, and the communication passages 2d and 3d are perforated on the inner circumferential wall surface of the enlarged diameter opening formed at the end of the central nozzle 1. The thickness of confectionery A is determined according to the diameter of the enlarged diameter opening. Further, the material a is poured out from the central nozzle 1 while being twisted by the rotation of the lower block 1c. Therefore, when materials b and c are poured out at the expanded diameter opening, there is no relative speed difference between the surface of material a and materials b and c, and therefore materials b and c are It can be beautifully wrapped around a.

The number of second and third nozzles 2 and 3 in the above embodiment can be further increased. It is also possible to mold food products without rotating the first and second rotary plates 6, 12. In that case, the materials b and c can be attached in vertical strips around the rod-shaped material a.

<Effects of the invention> Since the nozzle according to the invention has the structure and function as described above, it can continuously feed food such as confectionery, ice cream, etc. formed into spiral rods using multiple types or colors of materials. It has the characteristics that it can be manufactured in a number of ways.
