Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a bread baking container that stores bread dough for baking.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, for example, containers used in bread making machines that perform everything from kneading bread ingredients to baking have generally had a circular bottomed cylindrical shape or a rectangular bottomed cylindrical shape. It is true.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, among the above-mentioned bread baking containers, in the case where the bread baking container has a circular bottomed cylindrical shape, the baked bread is cylindrical and its cross section is circular. However, this did not suit the general taste because it did not fit well with the shape of ordinary bread, which has a rectangular cross-sectional shape. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
In the case where the bread 2 has a rectangular bottomed cylinder shape, the bread 2 has a rectangular shape immediately after baking, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 6, but it shrinks over time, as shown by the solid line. Each side part has a concave shape,
There is a drawback that it doesn't look good.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and the object thereof is to provide a bread baking container that can serve rectangular and good-looking bread.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) The bread baking container of the invention has a generally rectangular bottomed cylindrical shape as a whole, and each side wall thereof is convex outward with a large radius of curvature. It is characterized by its arcuate shape.

(Function) Immediately after baking, the bread baked by the above-mentioned method has a substantially rectangular shape with each side extending outward in an arc shape, and the bread shrinks over time. When it is done, each side part becomes flat,
As a result, the shape of the bread finally becomes rectangular.

(Embodiment) An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a bread maker will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, in FIG. 2, 11 is an outer case of the bread maker, 12 is an inner case disposed inside this outer case 11, and these are connected to the upper frame 13 at the upper end.
are connected by 14 penetrates the center of a receiving portion 16 provided at the bottom of the inner case 12 of the outer case 11 and projects upward. Its rotation axis 15
The tip has a D-shaped cross section. 17 is a substantially annular heater disposed at the lower part of the inner case 12; 18 is a heater mounted on the upper frame 13;
This is a lid that opens and closes the opening 3.

Now, 19 is a container for kneading and bread baking, which has a generally rectangular bottomed cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. It is formed into an arc shape that is convex toward the side, and each corner portion 19b is formed into an arc shape with a smaller radius of curvature than the side wall 19a. Further, a receiver 20 is fixed to the outer bottom of the container 19, and an insertion hole 2 is provided in the center of the bottom of the container 19 and the center of the receiver 20, respectively.
1 is formed. The container 19 is disposed within the inner case 12 by removably attaching the receiver 20 to the receiver 16 using a bayonet structure. In this state where the container 19 is disposed, the tip of the rotating shaft 15 protrudes into the lower part of the container 19 through the insertion hole 21, and a cap 22 is attached to the tip of the rotating shaft 15. This cap 2
2 is made of a heat-resistant resin such as fluororesin,
As shown in FIG. 3, a flange 22a is integrally provided at the lower end, and the flange 22a covers the insertion hole 21 of the container 19 from above. 2
3 is a kneading blade whose surface is treated with fluororesin.
It is disposed in the lower part of the container 19 by being detachably attached to the tip of the rotating shaft 15 via the cap 22. In this case, since the resin cap 22 is attached to the tip of the rotating shaft 15, the kneading blades 23 do not come into direct contact with the metal rotating shaft 15 when the kneading blades 23 are attached to and removed from the rotating shaft 15. This prevents damage to the fluorine-treated surface of the kneading blade 23. Reference numeral 24 denotes a control device consisting of a microcomputer disposed in the outer case 11, and is adapted to control bread manufacturing operations.

Therefore, in order to manufacture bread with the above configuration,
First, bread ingredients such as flour, yeast, and water are placed in the container 19, and the control device 24 is operated to start. Then, the motor 14 is energized and the kneading blades 23 are rotated together with the rotating shaft 15 of the motor 14, so that the bread ingredients are kneaded by the rotation of the kneading blades 23 to produce bread dough. When this kneading process is performed for a predetermined period of time, the motor 14 is cut off and the kneading process ends. Following this, the heater 17 was energized and the heater 17 generated heat with a small heat generation capacity, thereby performing a fermentation process in which the yeast in the bread dough was fermented, and further a degassing process by kneading was performed in the same manner as described above. After that, a baking process is performed in which the bread dough is baked by the heater 17 generating heat with a large heat generating capacity, thereby baking the bread.

When the bread 25 baked in this manner is taken out from the container 19, as shown in FIG. Each side 25a portion has a substantially rectangular shape with an arc extending outward, and when the bread 25 contracts over time, each side 25a portion becomes flat as shown by a solid line,
As a result, the shape of the bread 25 ultimately becomes rectangular.

In the above embodiment, the present invention was applied to a bread maker that performs everything from kneading bread ingredients to baking.
The present invention is not limited to this, but can be widely applied to containers that house bread dough for baking.

[Effects of the invention] As is clear from the above description, the bread baking container of the invention has a generally rectangular bottomed cylindrical shape as a whole, and each side wall thereof is convex outward with a large radius of curvature. By forming it into an arc shape, the shape of the baked bread can be made into a rectangular shape, which is an excellent feature of being able to provide rectangular bread with a good appearance. be effective.
