[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a frozen dessert discharging device from a frozen dessert production line that discharges frozen desserts sequentially manufactured from a stick type frozen dessert manufacturing device called a biter line to a conveyor line.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A stick-type frozen dessert manufacturing device called a biter line arranges a large number of molds on a conveyor, passes this conveyor line through a brine tank, fills each mold with the frozen dessert mix, and freezes them sequentially. The stick was dropped from above and inserted, and when it was frozen, it was taken out of the brine tank. The frozen dessert frozen in the mold in this way is taken out of the mold by spraying hot water from the outside of the mold, melting the surface of the frozen dessert, grasping the protruding part of the stick, and lifting it up. It is taken out of the line from the reversing shutter provided between them. Then, it is packaged and commercialized.

FIG. 3 shows the manufacturing flow. That is, the ice cream stock solution is filled in a product-shaped mold in a fixed amount, and the mold is conveyed to the cooling step (F1). Then, when the undiluted solution in the mold is semi-solidified, the bar forming the gripping part of the product is inserted (F2). As it is further cooled, the stock solution in the mold freezes and solidifies (F3). After freezing and solidifying, the mold is extracted from the cooling process, hot water is applied from the outside of the mold to defrost and extract, and the ice bar is discharged to the connecting conveyor (F4), (F5). The freezing conveyor is generally composed of L-shaped buckets connected at regular intervals. One ice bar is mounted on one bucket, and it is sequentially supplied to the packaging machine conveyor at a predetermined position for individual packaging ( F6). Fig. 4 shows an overall side view of the ice bar manufacturing machine and packaging machine. This machine produces a plurality of ice bars at the same time. After the process shown in the figure, the brine tank (4), the filling machine (1), and the bar inserting machine (3), the freezing machine pulls out the mold (2) from the brine tank (4), and the hot water injection device. The surface of the mold (2) is covered with warm water by (5), and the ice bar is extracted by the extractor (6). If necessary, the ice bar is processed by the chocolate dipping device (8) and then gripped by the extractor (6). Move the ice bar horizontally and eject it to the reversing shutter. Then, the reversing shutter (10) is operated in synchronization with the lower bucket conveyor (11) to discharge the ice bar onto the bucket. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 5, the ice bar on the bucket conveyor (11) is fed at a predetermined speed in the direction shown in the figure so as to be supplied in accordance with the packaging pitch of the pillow packaging machine (12). The bucket (14) is inverted in A), and the ice bar (15) on the bucket (14) is sequentially supplied to the pillow packaging machine conveyor (13). The ice bars (15) supplied to the conveyor (13) are individually packaged by the pillow packaging machine (12) into products.

As described above, when transferring the ice bars 15 to the bucket conveyor 11, after moving the reversing shutter 10 to the point A, the holder 40 of the ice bars 15 is opened and the respective ice bars 15 are reversed. The reversing shutter 10 is dropped and inserted into each section of the shutter 10, and then the reversing shutter 10 is moved to a point B, the cylinder 70 is operated, and the bottom surface of the reversing shutter 10 is pulled toward the front to open the reversing shutter. Each ice bar 15 in 10 is dropped onto the bucket conveyor 11. The reciprocating operation of the reversing shutter 10 is performed by sliding the rack 37 by a cylinder (not shown) and rotating the pinion 38 meshing with the rack 37.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when the ice bar 15 in the reversing shutter 10 is dropped by sliding the bottom surface on which the ice bar 15 is placed to the front, the ice bar 15 is rubbed when sliding. The quality of the ice bar 15 is not preferable. Further, when the ice bar 15 is removed from the mold 2, hot water is applied from the outside of the mold 2 to slightly melt the surface of the ice bar 15 in the mold 2 to separate the ice bar 15 from the mold 2 and remove it. Is slightly melted. Therefore, when this ice bar 15 is inserted into the reversing shutter 10, the cold temperature of the ice bar 15 itself causes the melted liquid on the surface of the ice bar 15 to freeze again, and when the bottom surface is slid due to this frozen state, the reversing shutter is turned on. A phenomenon occurs in which the ice bar 15 in the ter 10 does not drop at the same time. Normally, the bucket conveyor 11 is continuously operated for speeding up, so if the falling time of each ice bar 15 is different, the ice bar 15 may be dropped into the adjacent bucket, causing a trouble in the packaging process. It was.

Further, in the method of dropping the ice bar 15 on the bucket 14 by sliding the bottom surface, there is a problem that the ice bar 15 is obliquely placed on the bucket because the ice bar 15 drops from the beginning. . Therefore, it is necessary to widen the width of the bucket or reduce the speed of the bucket conveyor 11.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and provides a frozen dessert discharging device from a frozen dessert production line capable of placing ice bars on a bucket in a well-ordered manner and reliably. The purpose is to

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The purpose of the above is to receive the frozen dessert dropped and supplied from the frozen dessert outlet of the frozen dessert manufacturing device vertically into each storage box, and invert the frozen dessert by about 90 ° in a horizontal position on each bucket of the carry-out conveyor. A reversing device that reciprocates between the frozen dessert outlet to be dropped and a carry-out conveyor, and an opening / closing door that opens both left and right simultaneously in the horizontal orientation of the reversing device, and an opening / closing door that opens and closes the opening / closing door. It is achieved by a frozen dessert discharging device from a frozen dessert production line, which is characterized by being configured with a cylinder. Further, by providing the inner wall of the storage box with irregularities, it is possible to prevent the ice bar whose surface is melted from sticking due to freezing.

[0009]

[Action]

 In other words, this frozen dessert discharging device uses a so-called double-door type to open and close the discharge of the ice bar inserted into the reversing device, so that the reversing device moves onto the bucket conveyor and the ice on the left and right shutters of the reversing device is mounted. The bar drops from the center while the shutters are released and the left and right shutters guide the bar. Therefore, with this device, the ice bar falls straight down into the center of the bucket, increasing the overall production speed.
