[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for taking out roll-shaped heated / cooled food continuously produced by a horizontal rotary drum to the outside of the horizontal drum.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For example, when manufacturing hot-molded foods such as rolled eggs and thick-boiled eggs, the semi-continuous process using a pan takes time and labor, cannot handle labor shortages, and cannot improve productivity. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have invented and have already applied for a continuous heating cooking forming apparatus or a continuous production method for continuously producing a roll-shaped baked food product represented by an egg roll (actual application: No. 2-402685, Japanese Patent Application No. 3-104,215). This involves applying a non-stick oil film to the inner surface of the firing drum that is rotated while being heated, and dropping the raw material onto the inner surface of the firing drum to which the oil film has been applied, spreading and firing and firing. The raw material gelled by the method is peeled off from the inner peripheral surface of the firing drum and wound into a roll, and the roll-shaped molded product is continuously taken out from the tip of the firing drum. When forming into a roll shape, the upper edge of the burning material that has risen along the inner peripheral surface of the burning drum is peeled and reversed by the scraping scraper and the winding guide roller provided in the burning drum. With the peeled and inverted portion as the core, the subsequent fired portion is wound into a roll, or peeling inversion and winding can be performed by the self-weight and rotational moment of the pressing firing material without using the scraper and guide roller. There is.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the continuous manufacturing method as described above, the product that continuously comes out from the firing drum is rotated according to the rotation of the product by the feeder that consists of a plurality of guide rollers that are arranged in an inclined manner with respect to the product moving direction. Although it is taken out at a speed that matches the moving speed of the product, there is a problem that the device becomes longer in the product moving direction and becomes larger. Further, the guide roller is also inconvenient when the taken out roll-shaped molded product is cut into a predetermined size. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to allow a compact device to easily take out a product coming out of a horizontal drum, and to stabilize a product of a predetermined length. It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll-shaped heated / cooled food takeout device that can be continuously obtained.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is an apparatus for taking out a roll-shaped heated food represented by a rolled egg continuously produced by a horizontal rotary drum or a roll-shaped cooled food such as an agar roll to the outside of the horizontal rotary drum. A conveyor conveyor such as a belt conveyor, which is installed on the outlet side of the drum at an angle with respect to the moving direction of the rolled heated / cooled food and can support the heated / cooled food, and the rolled conveyor on this conveyor. It is composed of a guide that can prevent movement of the heated / cooled food in the conveyor conveying direction, and a cutter that is arranged on the conveyor and cuts the roll-shaped heated / cooled food at regular intervals. Regarding the transfer speed of the transfer conveyor and the inclination angle of the transfer conveyor for the heated and cooled food in roll form, the velocity component orthogonal to the moving direction of the heated and cooled food in the transfer conveyor matches the peripheral speed of the horizontal drum. In addition, the velocity component in the moving direction of the rolled heated / cooled food on the conveyor is determined so as to match the moving speed of the rolled heated / cooled food in the horizontal rotating drum.

[0005]

[Action]

 The roll-shaped heated / cooled food that is continuously delivered while rotating from the horizontal rotary drum receives the force in the moving direction on the conveyor and the direction perpendicular to this moving direction. The force perpendicular to the moving direction that acts on the lower part of the roll-shaped heating / cooling food is converted to rotating moment by the restraint of the guide when the roll-heating / cooling food is connected inside the drum. Rotate the food. The force in the moving direction works as a force to pull out the roll-shaped heated / cooled food. Therefore, the roll-shaped heating / cooling food is taken out by the transport conveyor while rotating in synchronization with the rotation and movement in the drum. The roll-shaped heated / cooled food thus drawn is guided by the guide and sent to the cutter, where it is cut at time intervals corresponding to the length of the target product. The cut product leaves the restraint of the guide, moves on the conveyor as it is, and is obtained as a product of a certain length at the carry-out end of the conveyor.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to an illustrated embodiment. This is an example of manufacturing a roll-shaped heated food such as rolled eggs using a baking drum. As shown in FIG. 2, the firing drum 1 is a cylindrical horizontal drum whose both ends are open. The firing drum 1 is rotatably supported by the drum frame 3 by bearings 2 provided at both ends thereof, and a drive motor (not shown) is provided. It is rotationally driven via a gear transmission mechanism. The drive motor is a variable type, and the rotation speed of the firing drum 1 can be set arbitrarily. The drum frame 3 is supported by, for example, a bendable support leg 3a and a vertically movable support leg 3b. By raising and lowering the support leg 3b, the inclination angle of the firing drum 1 can be arbitrarily set. Has been done.

A heating device 4 including an electric heating type sheet heating element, an electromagnetic induction heating element, and the like is provided on the lower surface of the firing drum 1, and a material supply device 5 and an oil coating roller 6 are disposed inside. It is set up. The material supply device 5 is a device for dropping the raw material A from the agitating and mixing device and the supply pump into the inner peripheral surface of the firing drum 1 from the supply nozzle 5a, and with respect to the rotation of the firing drum 1 in the clockwise direction in FIG. It is placed close to the inner surface on the right side. Prior to dropping the raw material A, the oil application roller 6 spreads oil on the inner peripheral surface of the baking drum 1 to prevent charring, and contacts the upper inner surface on the left side of FIG. The oil applying roller 6 is rotationally driven by a motor (not shown) to roll the inner peripheral surface of the firing drum 1.

In such a firing drum 1, a belt conveyor 7 is disposed on the outlet side of the firing drum 1, and a guide 8 and a cutter 9 are provided on the belt conveyor 7. The belt conveyor 7 is inclined at an angle θ with respect to the central axis of the baking drum 1, that is, the moving direction of the roll-shaped product A, and the roll-shaped molded product A1 coming out of the baking drum 1 is conveyed in the conveying direction of its conveying surface 7a. The support can be carried out at approximately the center, and the inclination angle θ and the belt speed are set based on the peripheral speed of the firing drum 1 and the moving speed of the roll product A. The guide 8 is a member that blocks the movement of the roll-shaped molded product A1 on the belt conveyor 7 in the conveyor conveying direction and determines the traveling direction of the roll-shaped molded product A1. A guide roller is provided, which is driven to rotate by contact with the roll-shaped molded product A1. The guide 8 is cantilevered on the end surface of a support frame 10 arranged above the belt conveyor 7.

The cutter 9 is a reciprocating type shear blade that moves up and down at a constant cycle, and is arranged at the rear stage of the guide 8. A rotation drive mechanism, a vertical drive mechanism (not shown), and the like of the cutter 9 are installed on the support base 10. The cutter 9 is not limited to a reciprocating shear blade, but may be a reciprocating or swing rotary blade.

When the diameter of the firing drum 1 is 30 cm, the number of rotations is 5 rpm (drum peripheral speed: 471 cm / min), and the inclination angle is 10 ° in the above-described configuration, the roll-shaped molded product A1 is 80 cm / min. It comes out while rotating at the moving speed of. Therefore, the inclination angle θ of the belt conveyor 7 was set to 80 °, the belt speed was set to 480 cm / min, and the firing drum 1 and the belt conveyor 7 were synchronized. A product of a certain length was continuously obtained by the following firing process and take-out process.

(1) First, while rotating the firing drum 1, the heating device 4 heats it to, for example, 170 ° C. or higher, and then the oil application roller 6 applies an oil for preventing burning to the inner peripheral surface of the firing drum 1. Then, a small amount of seasoning is added to the egg and the raw material A obtained by stirring is dropped from the material supply device 5. The supplied raw material A is thinly spread and fired due to its fluidity and rotation of the firing drum 1. (2) The gelled raw material A is pushed up in the clockwise direction along the inner peripheral surface of the firing drum 1 by the rotation of the firing drum 1 (see FIG. 2), and at a certain height position, specifically, When the upper edge of the gelled raw material A reaches a position where it is subjected to the peeling action due to its own weight, the upper edge of the peeled raw material A is inverted by the gelled raw material A that is subsequently rising. And is polymerized on its surface. Due to its own weight and the rotation moment centered on the core, the polymerized part is automatically rolled up by the raw material that is squeezed up, and is formed into a roll shape. (3) The roll-shaped product A1 is continuously sent out from the firing drum 1 while rotating, but the peripheral speed of the firing drum 1, that is, the rotation speed of the roll-shaped product A1 and the movement of the roll-shaped product on the belt conveyor 7. Since the transport speed component in the direction orthogonal to the direction is the same and the moving speed of the roll-shaped molded product A1 is the same as the transport speed component in the roll-shaped product moving direction of the belt conveyor 7, the roll-shaped molded product A1 is deformed. It is taken out onto the belt conveyor 7 without receiving it. (4) The roll-shaped molded product A1 as described above is lightly sandwiched by the guide 8 and guided to the cutter 9. The cutter 9 moves up and down at a constant cycle to cut the roll-shaped molded product A1 into a product A2 having a constant length. (5) The product A2 cut into a certain length is carried out by the belt conveyor 7 as it is, and the product A2 having a certain size is stably obtained at the carrying-out end of the belt conveyor 7.

In the above, the example of continuously producing a roll-shaped heated food such as a rolled egg using a baking drum has been described, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to a roll-shaped cooled food such as an agar roll. Nor. Agar rolls and the like are the same as in the case of heated food rolls, except that the agar is cooled and processed using a horizontal rotating drum having a cooling water jacket. Also, the horizontal rotary drum has been described as a type in which the upper edge of the baked raw material is automatically polymerized, but a scraping scraper and a winding guide roller provided in the drum are used to force peeling and reversal. You may use the type. Further, the shape of the drum is not limited to the cylindrical shape, and a bell shape and other shapes can be used.
