Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application 1] This invention relates to a bread and confectionery dough shaping device used in a bread and confectionery process.

[Prior Art] As is well known, in the bread and confectionery process, there is a shaping process in which bread and confectionery dough (hereinafter simply referred to as dough) that has undergone intermediate fermentation is shaped into its final shape.

When the final shape of the dough is an elongated shape, the ball-shaped dough that has undergone intermediate fermentation is passed between the pair of rollers R and H of the preliminary shaping machine C, as shown in Figure 3. After being changed into a flat shape, the flat fabric B is sent from a pre-shaping machine C to a shaping device that rolls the flat fabric B to elongate it. and a spreading pressure plate 2 as a spreading pressure means, which is disposed opposite to the conveying surface of the dough conveyor I at a predetermined interval. According to this shaping bag ff1l, the flat fabric B fed onto the conveying surface of the fabric conveyor 1 comes into contact with the curling net 3 while being fed on the conveying surface, and its tip is curled before being unrolled. In contact with the pressure plate 2, the dough B itself is rotated due to the combination of the dough feeding action by the transport surface of the dough conveyor 1 and the dough catching action by the spreading pressure plate 2, and is rolled and gradually stretched laterally into a long and slender round bar shape. It changes to B' indicates the fabric that is in the middle of rolling or has finished rolling.

In such a shaping device 1, if the flat dough B is circular and thin as shown in FIG. (See Figures 5B and 5C) It is necessary to make it longer than the diameter of fabric B. Therefore, in the past, the clearance between the rolling pressure plate 2 and the conveying surface of the fabric conveying conveyor l was adjusted so that these functions could be performed appropriately.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when the above-mentioned rod-shaped dough is stretched laterally, a large force is applied to the spreading pressure plate 2 and the conveying surface in a direction that separates them, and this reaction force is applied to the dough. There was a problem that the fabric was adversely affected. Furthermore, the dough B' shaped into an elongated round bar shaped by the conventional shaping device 1 often has a distorted shape as shown in FIGS. There were many things I didn't do.

This invention was made in view of the above problems and circumstances.
By devising the above-mentioned spreading pressure means that exerts a trapping action on the dough being fed on the conveyor surface of the dough conveyor 1, it is possible to deform a circular thin flat dough into a rod shape, and to transform such a rod-shaped dough into a rod shape. To provide a shaping device for bread and confectionery dough which can easily stretch bread dough horizontally and deform it into a long and slender rod shape, and can easily obtain a round rod shape with a substantially uniform diameter.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] In the bread/confectionery dough shaping device of the present invention, the rolling pressure means for rolling the dough and shaping it into a long and thin strip by cooperating with the conveying surface of the dough conveyor is configured to It is composed of a plurality of pressure conveyors extending radially along the feeding direction.

[Function] According to this configuration, when the flat fabric fed through the conveying surface of the fabric conveying conhair moves through the gap between the conveying surface and the rolling pressure conveyor, the feeding action by the conveying surface and the multiple rolling pressures are applied. In combination with the dough catching action of the conveyor, the dough itself is rolled while rotating and deformed into a rod shape.At the same time, since multiple rolling pressure conveyors extend radially, the dough is shaped into a rod at the point where each rolling pressure conveyor makes contact. The fabric is forcibly stretched horizontally into a long, thin rod with approximately uniform diameter.

The plurality of pressure conveyors may or may not be rotated at the same speed. In order for the rolling pressure conveyor to exhibit the dough catching effect while rotating, the rotation speed must be slower than the dough feeding speed by the dough transport conveyor, or the rotation direction must be opposite to the dough feeding direction. is necessary.

[Embodiment 1] Fig. 1 is a schematic side view of a plastic surgery device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of the main parts thereof.

In this shaping device, the dumpling-shaped dough that has undergone intermediate fermentation is passed between a pair of rollers R and H of a pre-forming machine C to be changed into a flat shape, and then the flat dough B
The point in which is sent is the same as that explained in FIG. However, the expansion pressure means is different from that shown in FIG.

That is, the rolling pressure means of this shaping device is constituted by a plurality of rolling pressure conveyors 5 extending radially along the fabric feeding direction (indicated by arrow G) by the fabric conveying conveyor l. A predetermined clearance is ensured between the rolling pressure conveyors 5, . . . and the conveying surface of the fabric conveying conveyor l. The rollers 51 and 52 are wound on the rolling shafts 51a and 52, respectively, at the starting end of the outward path of the spreading pressure conveyor 5.

52a is connected to those of the adjacent pressure spreading conveyor 5 via a universal joint (not shown). Further, the rotation of the winding at the end of the forward path is transmitted to the rotating shaft 52a of the roller 52 by a variable speed motor M capable of forward and reverse rotation. The plurality of rolling pressure con hairs 5 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis X-X in the fabric feeding direction, that is, the center line passing through the center of the fabric conveying con hair 1 in the width direction.

In the above, when the flat fabric B fed to the conveyance surface of the fabric conveyor 1 is sent along the conveyance surface, it comes into contact with the curling net 3 on the way, and its tip is curled, and then it is rolled out into multiple layers. It contacts the pressure rollers 5..., and the fabric feeding action by the conveyance surface of the fabric conveyor 1 and the rolling pressure rollers 5...
In combination with the dough catching action caused by ..., the dough B itself rotates and is rolled, gradually being stretched laterally and turning into a long and thin round bar shape. In this case, the rotation of the dough B causes the dough B to be rolled into a rod shape. In addition, since the plurality of rolling pressure conveyors 5 extend radially, each rolling pressure conveyor 5
As the fabric B is fed in the direction of arrow G, the contact points of . As a result, the rod-shaped dough B' is forced but unreasonably stretched (gradually stretched horizontally (arrows Y, Y), and finally, as shown in Fig. 5A, the diameter becomes approximately equal. It is shaped into a long, thin rod.

The plurality of rolling pressure conveyors 5... may or may not be rotated, but when rotating, all rolling pressure conveyors 5... should be rotated at the same speed, which is slower than the dough feeding speed, and in the same direction. It is desirable to rotate it.

Further, the rolling pressure conveyors 5 may be rotated in the opposite direction to the dough feeding direction.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, when the dough passes through the gap between the dough conveyor and the plurality of rolling conveyors, the flat dough is rotated and deformed into a rod shape, and the rod-shaped dough is The process of stretching the fabric horizontally and deforming it into an elongated rod shape is carried out smoothly and without difficulty, and the fabric is reliably shaped into an elongated rod shape with a substantially uniform diameter.
