To do. At that time, since the pallet support base 35 is descending, the pallet support base 35 does not come into contact with the guide rod 38, but the guide pin 36 comes into contact with the guide rod 37 set at a position lower than the guide rod 38. By rotating 90 degrees in the opposite direction, the above-mentioned function can be achieved.

Next, the function of transporting takoyaki to the outlet 24 will be described.
Similarly, by installing a transport cup 40 having an upper opening and fixing the transport cup 40 to the air cylinder 33 described above, the air cylinder 33 transports the pallet 6 to the second line 5 and at the same time takes out takoyaki. Mouth 24

Inside is a spring and a general damper that uses damping force. Further, in the present embodiment, although no outlet for storing takoyaki is installed in the outlet 24, a bag, a recessed space for storing the takoyaki, a cup or the like is installed in the outlet 24, and the operator is completed. It is desirable to configure so that it is not necessary to take out takoyaki one by one. (Fourth Line 8) Next, the configuration of the fourth line 8 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. As described above, the fourth line 8 achieves the function of transporting the pallet 6 placed on the second line 5 to the first line 4, and the configuration is such that the transport cup 40 is fixed to the air cylinder 33. The air cylinder 33, the lifting air cylinder 34, the guide rail 32, the pallet support base 35, the guide pins 36, the guide rods 37 and 38, the shock absorber 41, and the stopper 42 are substantially the same as the third line. Since they are similar, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted. (Pallet 6) Next, the pallet 6 for baking takoyaki will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. The pallet 6 is made of a plate made of aluminum and plated with ceramics having a far infrared ray effect, and is made light and strong. Further, the plating is configured to prevent the takoyaki from adhering to the pallet 6 as much as possible, which facilitates the removal of the takoyaki.

Further, the surface of the pallet 6 is provided with eight recesses 42 so that one person can make takoyaki, and materials such as flour water and octopus are injected into the recesses 42. is there. Further, the pallet 6 is provided with a plurality of openings 43, and the openings 43 are heat conduction holes that allow the heat from the gas stove 9 to pass through to the upper surface. In this way, the top surface of the takoyaki can be evenly and appropriately baked without turning it over. (Adhesion Removal Device 23) Next, the structure of the adhesion removal device 23 of the take-out station 11 will be described with reference to FIGS.

8 stroke member 52 strokes in the width direction, and the cam plate 53 rotates in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Since the insertion member 45 rotates with this rotation, the takoyaki rotates, and the adhesion of the takoyaki to the pallet 6 can be removed.

In this embodiment, the cam mechanism is often used to reduce the cost, but it goes without saying that a gear or the like may be used so that the insertion member 45 is rotated by a single motor. Further, 54 is a guide pin provided on the support body 47 so as to guide the stroke member 52. (Taking-out Device 25) Next, the structure of the taking-out device 25 will be described with reference to FIG. The take-out device 25 includes a pair of left and right support bases 55 fixed to the body B, and a support plate 57 that is rotatably supported by the support bases 55 and provided with a support groove 56 that supports the pallet 6, Further, the supporting plate 57 on the right side of the drawing is connected to a motor 58 fixed to the lower surface of the body via a drive belt 59. With this structure, when the pallet 6 is conveyed along with the tact conveyance and is inserted into the support plate 57 while both sides of the pallet 6 are being guided in the support groove 56, the motor 58 is rotated at this point to rotate the pallet 6 Is inverted 180 degrees. Due to this action, the takoyaki stored in the recess 42 is dropped into the takoyaki takeout passage 39 at once. After that, the pallet 6 is inverted again by 180 degrees, the pallet 6 is replaced with a new pallet 6 in the next tact conveyance, and the same work is continued.

Reference numeral 58 is a reinforcing member for connecting the support plates 57 to each other, and 60 is a bearing. (Oil coating station 12) Next, the configuration of the oil coating station 12 provided at the end of the first line 4 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the oil applying station 12 is disposed above the third line 7 and
When the pallet 6 is conveyed to the upper side, oil is applied from above through nozzles provided corresponding to the recesses 42.

Reference numeral 61 is a support member, and this support member 61 is fixedly supported by the body B, and a valve body 62 having an upper surface fixed at the center is provided. Further, the valve body 62 is provided with eight nozzles 63 at positions corresponding to the respective recesses 42, and an oil passage 64 for applying oil to the nozzles 63 is provided. Further, an air passage 65 for supplying the jetting air to the nozzle 63 is provided. A check valve 66 is controlled by a solenoid (not shown) so that the passage is opened and closed in synchronization with the transfer timing of the pallet 6. (Flour / water injection station 14, 18) Next, referring to FIG.
Using the first and second flour water injection stations 14, 1
8 will be described. (First flour water injection station,
The second flour water injection station has the same configuration, and therefore will be described with reference to the same drawing. ) A flour water case 68 is fixed to the support 69 so that the inlet 67 is located at a position corresponding to the recess 42 of the pallet 6 placed on the second line 5. Further, a control air cylinder 70 for controlling the flour water injection is fixed to the support base 69 fixed to the body B. Further, a lid member 72 is provided at the tip of the piston 71 of the air cylinder 70, and by opening and closing the lid member 72 with the control air cylinder 70, the inlet 67 is opened and closed and synchronized with the transfer timing of the pallet 6. Then, the flour water is injected into the recess 42. In addition, in the upper part of the flour water case of the flour stations 14 and 18,
A tank is provided to store a large amount of flour water (not shown). (Octopus Injecting Station 15, Cabbage Injecting Station 16, Top Dust Injecting Station 17) Next, the configurations of the octopus injecting station 15, the cabbage injecting station 16, and the top dregs injecting station 17 will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the above three stations have substantially the same configuration, the octopus injection station 15 is representative.
The configuration of will be described. The cabbage injection station 1
6. A push-in member 77, which will be described later, is not provided in the ceiling waste injection station 16 in this embodiment. However, the same setting may be made.

Reference numeral 73, which is shown as a partial cross-sectional view, is a octopus storage case fixed to the body B, and the octopus storage case 73 is for randomly storing chopped octopuses. Further, an opening 74 is provided on the lower surface of the octopus storage case 73 at a position corresponding to the concave portion of the pallet 6, and a guide surface 75 for guiding the octopus to one side of the opening 74 is provided. Is configured. Further, a pair of guide grooves 76 are provided in the front and rear on both side surfaces of the octopus storage case 73. The guide groove 76 guides the pushing member 77.

This structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 16. To the air cylinder 79 that strokes the opening / closing member 78 fixed to the body B in the line direction,
The pushing member 77 described above is connected via the link 80, and the air cylinder 79 operates in synchronization with the pallet conveyance, and the opening / closing member 78 is stroked to the right side in the drawing. As a result, the opening 74 provided in the octopus storage case 73 and the opening 79 of the opening / closing member 78 communicate with each other, and the octopus can be inserted into the recess 42 of the pallet 6.

However, in this state, the octopus cannot be reliably inserted into the recess 42. Therefore, the push-in rod 80 fixed to the push-in member 77 is configured to forcibly push in. That is, since the guide rollers 81 provided on both sides of the pushing member 77 are guided in the guide groove, the pushing member 77 also moves in synchronization with the movement of the air cylinder 79 to move the opening / closing member 78 to the right in the drawing. Stroke to the middle right. At this time, the pushing member moves downward due to the action of the guide groove 76, and as shown in FIG.
The octopus is pierced through the opening 79 and the recess 42 located therebelow is formed.
It is something that is pushed into. It should be noted that these stations may be provided with reserve tanks for storing a large amount of octopus and cabbage similar to the flour water injection stations 14 and 18. (Pallet 6 Conveying Drive Device) Next, a driving device for conveying the pallet 6 will be described with reference to FIG. The driving device moves a total of four vertical moving cylinders 82 (see also FIG. 14 for details) provided in front of and behind each of the first line 4 and the second line 5 and the pair of left and right movable frames 20 back and forth. It is composed of a transport cylinder 21 and a connecting member 83. The pair of left and right movable frames 20 are fixed to each other by a U-shaped frame 84, and the vertical movement cylinder 82 fixed to the lower surface of the frame 84 is fixed. Are configured to move up and down at the same time.
The vertically moving cylinder 82 and the U-shaped frame 84 are connected so as to be slidable in the line direction.
This allows the displacement of the movable frame 20 in the line direction.

Further, the movable frames 20 are connected to the second frame 85 by a pin and a cylindrical member so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.
Further, the connecting member 83 is connected via a joint (not shown) for allowing rotation, which is provided at the end thereof. In addition, the connecting member 83 is rotatably supported by the body B at the center thereof, and the connecting cylinder 83 (described in FIG. 3) connected to the supporting shaft 86 is used to rotate the connecting member 83. The pallet 6 placed on the movable frame 20 is configured to be transported by one tact (one tact corresponding to the length of the pallet is one tact). The length of the connecting member 83 from the support shaft 86 to the joint connected to the first line 4 is shorter than the length from the support shaft 86 to the joint connected to the second line 5. As a result, since the pallets 6 are arranged on the first line 4 in the direction perpendicular to the line, the problem that the transport distance in one tact needs to be shorter than the transport distance in the second line 5 It is something that is solved by the configuration.

Next, a method of transporting the pallet 6 will be described in detail. First, the pallet 6 whose both ends are supported on the fixed frame 19 is supplied to the vertically moving air cylinder 82 to move the movable frame 20 upward so that the pallet 6 is held by the movable frame 20. In this state, since the movable frame 20 is slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the second frame 85, its movement is not restricted. Next, air is supplied to the air cylinder 21 for transportation, the movable frame 20 is transported to the position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, and the air in the air cylinder 82 for vertical movement is discharged. by this,
The pallet 6 is fixed on the fixed frame 1 at the position where one tact has been conveyed.
9 again. This is the transportation process.
Further, when the state is advanced to this state, air is again supplied to the conveying air cylinder 21 in the opposite direction to the previous direction, the movable frame 20 is returned to the previous position and made ready for the next conveyance, and after 20 seconds have passed, the state is returned again. The above process is repeated for transportation. (Control Block) Next, the control device of the automatic takoyaki device will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 87 denotes a control CPU, and this CPU 87 has a power switch 8

Also, C
On the left side of the drawing of the PU 87, the control OK lamp 98, FAI
An L lamp 99 is provided, and the CPU outputs to each lamp. Further, on the right side of the CPU drawing, a drive motor 100 for the take-out device 25, a drive motor 28 for the brushing station 13, and a gas stove control device 101 for igniting and extinguishing the gas stove are provided.
Each control valve, each motor, and the gas stove controller are configured to be controlled by receiving the output from 7. Further, a tact transfer time change switch 152 and an injection time change switch 153 for changing the material injection time at each injection station are provided, and the tact transfer time change switch 152 is normally set to 1 tact 20 seconds. The carrying time is changed freely,
It is set so that the baking condition of takoyaki and the manufacturing time can be changed (air cylinders 21, 82).
Control). The injection time change switch 153 allows the injection time to be changed and the injection amount to be freely changed according to the change of the material.
The opening and closing time of 79 has been changed.

Reference numeral 102 is an air compressor, 103 is a motor for driving the air compressor 102, and the CPU 87 controls this motor 103 to obtain the required high pressure air. Reference numerals 104 to 111 denote control valves for supplying and shutting off the air from the compressor 102 to the respective air cylinders.
Vertical movement control valve 105, third line transfer control valve 10
6, vertical control valve 107 for the third line, control valve 108 for the fourth line transfer, vertical control valve 10 for the fourth line
9, control valve 110 for brushing station, small air cylinders 70, 7 for injecting first and second flour water
The control valves 111 and 111 of 0 are arranged in this order, and the air is supplied and cut off by controlling the energization of the electromagnetic solenoid by the CPU in each control valve. An air cylinder is installed downstream of these control valves,
Air cylinder 21 for pallet transfer from the top of the drawing,
An air cylinder 82 for vertical movement of the movable frame 20,
(There are four in total. One is omitted in the figure.) Third line transfer air cylinder 33, third line vertical movement air cylinder 34, fourth line transfer air cylinder 33,
Vertical line air cylinder 34, air cylinder 51 for brushing station, first and second lines
Air cylinder 70 for flour water injection station,
They are arranged in the order of 70. The required functions are obtained by supplying an appropriate amount of air to these air cylinders.

Reference numeral 112 in the figure is a release valve for FAIL safe, which releases the high pressure air to the atmosphere and interrupts the control by interrupting the atmospheric release state in the normal control region and releasing at the time of failure. Is. Further, although not used in the present embodiment, if an accumulator or the like for accumulating air is provided to prevent pressure fluctuation, more excellent control can be performed.

Further, in this embodiment, the air type is explained, but it is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that the power source may be configured by various methods such as a hydraulic type and a motor type. (Control Flowchart) Next, the control method of the above-mentioned device will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS.
19 to 21 are flowcharts of the main control. In ST1, it is confirmed whether or not the power switch is ON, and if not, the control is stopped in ST2. Meanwhile ST
If the switch is ON in step 1, the process proceeds to ST3, the motor 103 for driving the compressor 102 is operated, and then ST
Check in 4 whether the preheat switch is ON. Here, when the preheat switch is ON, the routine proceeds to a routine for executing preheat control, and ST5 and subsequent steps are executed.

In ST5, the pallet transporting air cylinder 21 which is a driving device, the vertical movement air cylinder 82 of the movable frame 20 and the third and fourth lines are first maintained while the control of all the injection stations is stopped. The air cylinders 33 for transportation and 34 for vertical movement are driven to bring the pallet 6 into the transportation state. Further, the gas stove is ignited (101) so that the pallet 6 can be preheated, and the process proceeds to ST6. In ST6, the temperature (T) is confirmed by the temperature sensor 94, and the process proceeds to ST7 while the temperature (T) is stored. In ST7, it is confirmed whether or not the temperature is equal to or higher than a preset reference temperature T0 (temperature at which takoyaki can be baked). If it is determined that the temperature is equal to or higher than T0, the OK lamp 98 is turned on in ST8. Then, the standby state is waited for when the start switch 90 is pressed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the temperature is equal to or less than T0, the preheat control is continued without turning on the OK lamp 98.

By the way, if it is determined in ST4 that the preheat switch 92 has not been pressed, promptly S
In T9, it is determined whether or not the start switch 90 has been pressed. If it is determined that the switch has not been pressed, the process returns,
Repeat the loop from the beginning. On the other hand, if it is determined in ST9 that the start switch 90 is pressed, ST1
If it is determined that the stop switch 91 has not been pressed, the process proceeds to ST11 to execute an initial check. The initial check here is to return each station and device to the initial state to be in a normal state, that is, when there is a station or the like that was stopped midway in the previous control, normal control is performed. It avoids the inability to execute.

Subsequently, as soon as this initial check is completed, the process proceeds to ST12, where the temperature (T) measured by the temperature sensor 94 is used.
Is confirmed and stored, and the process proceeds to ST13. ST13 is for confirming whether or not the temperature of the pallet 6 is sufficient to burn the takoyaki, and when it is determined that the temperature is equal to or lower than the reference temperature T0, the preheat control is executed before the start. It is determined that the switch 90 is not pressed and the takoyaki is not ready to be baked, and the pallet 6 is preheated through the preheat control of ST5. Here, if preheating is performed, the temperature (T) will eventually exceed T0 in ST13, so S
You can proceed to the takoyaki baking loop below T14.

The case where (T) is determined to be T0 or more in ST13 will be described below. The control from here is a loop to enter the control to actually burn takoyaki.
In ST14, the counter (C) for setting the number of servings of takoyaki is read, and the process proceeds to ST15. (See FIG. 20 below) Subsequently, in ST15, it is determined whether or not the counter is set. If the counter is set, the process proceeds to ST16, and if not, the process proceeds to ST17. First, the state of proceeding to ST17 will be explained. Since proceeding to ST17 means that there is no counter setting, it means continuing to make takoyaki until the stop switch 91 is pressed. CPU until is pressed
87 continues sending takoyaki by sending signals to each station and device. (In this state, since the drive device and the gas stove are in the drive state in ST15, there is no need to control them again. The CPU 87 first drives the oil coating station 12, and when the drive device conveys the pallet 6 for two tacts, Next, the oil coating station 12 and the brushing station 13 are driven, and this is the only case where the pallet 6 coated with oil at the oil coating station 12 is 2 tact (2 tact in this embodiment) and does not go to the brushing station 13. Not to mention.
In that case, it is only necessary to previously store in the CPU how many tacts the oil-applied pallet 6 should reach the brushing station 13. The same applies to the following stations.

Subsequently, when one tact is conveyed by detection of the tact switch 89, the first flour water injection station 14 is also driven, and when one tact is conveyed, the octopus injection station 15 is moved together with the upstream station and device. Drive it. Further, when 2 tact is conveyed in this state, the pallet 6 to which the oil is applied first arrives at the cabbage injecting station 16. Therefore, the cabbage injecting station 16 is driven at this timing, and after that, 2 tact is conveyed. The dregs pouring station 17 and then the second flour water pouring station are driven after one more tact conveyance. By doing so, it is possible to avoid the problem that the octopus is first injected into the recesses 42 of the pallet 6 or the flour water is put into the recesses not coated with oil. There is no need to do the work, and the work load can be greatly reduced.

When this initial control is completed, ST18, S
Proceeding to T19, the takoyaki is made continuously for each tact conveyance until the stop switch 91 is pressed. Next, above ST
The control of setting the counter (C) in 15 will be described. First, in ST16, the same initial control as in ST17 is executed and then in ST20, it is confirmed whether or not C has become zero in ST20. To explain the subtraction of the counter, the oil application station 12 is configured to subtract the counter each time oil is applied. For example, if the counter 96 is set to serve 10 people, the pallet 6 is used. On the other hand, when the oil is applied 10 times, the counter becomes zero. If it is determined that the counter is still not zero, proceed to ST21, ST22 and ST
18, normal control similar to ST19 is executed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in ST20 that the counter has become zero, the stop control of ST23 (see FIG. 21) and thereafter is executed. In the stop control, the control opposite to the above-described ST17 is executed. First, the oil application station 12 is stopped, the brushing station 24 is stopped at the second tact, and then the first flour water injection station at the first tact. 14, after 1 tact, the octopus infusion station 15, 2 more tact, the cabbage infusion station 16, 2 more tact, the heavenly residue infusion station 17, and finally 1 tact in the second flour water infusion station 18. Is configured.

After completion of this stop control, the program proceeds to ST24, in which the heating power of the gas stove 9 is reduced and preheating control is performed while continuing the conveyance of the pallet 6 by the drive device while continuing the stop control of all stations. . this is,
Control is performed to prevent the pallet 6 from cooling and to promptly respond to the next order. In this state, it waits until the next counter setting or shift to normal control.

Incidentally, since the control of ST23 and ST24 is performed even when the stop switch 91 is pressed in ST10, the description thereof is omitted. In addition,
Needless to say, when the stop switch 91 is pressed, the preheating control may be stopped instead of the control of ST24.

Next, the FAIL safe control at the time of failure will be described with reference to FIG. First, in SF1, the signals of the tact switch (N), the gas leak sensor 95, the temperature sensor 94, and the operation confirmation sensor 93 provided in the octopus injection station are read, and the process proceeds to SF2. FAIL flag F in SF2
If it is not 1, the process proceeds to SF3 to make a failure determination, and first, it is determined whether it takes 20 seconds or more to carry one tact, and it is determined that it is 20 seconds or more. In this case, the pallet 6 may be caught or the device may be damaged, so that the process proceeds to the failure loop. If it is determined that the time is within 20 seconds, the process is normal and the process proceeds to SF4. Note that the determination here is that the signal of the tact switch 89 for detecting the conveyance of the movable frame 20 is received, the signal is set as N1, and the timer is operated together with the N1 input, and the present time of the tact switch 89 sent every tact conveyance. It is determined based on how many seconds the timer operated by N1 is counting before the signal N is input. Therefore, if it is within 20 seconds,
Clear the timer, update N to N1 and restart the timer. On the other hand, if it is determined that the time is 20 seconds or more, the configuration is such that the fault loop is entered.

Next, when it is determined NO in SF3, S
In F4, it is determined whether or not there is a gas leak (gas leak sensor 95). If NO is determined in this step, SF5 is determined.
At, it is determined whether the temperature is within a predetermined value. Then S
If NO is determined in F5, the process proceeds to SF6, and it is determined whether or not the pushing member 77 is normally operated. If it is also determined to be normal, the process is returned.
Go around the loop from the beginning.

On the other hand, 20 seconds or more have passed in SF3,
If any of the judgments such as gas leakage in SF4, temperature exceeds a predetermined value in SF5, and pushing device not operating normally in SF6, proceed to failure control and first fail in SF7. The flag 1 is set and the process proceeds to SF8 to execute the failure control. In SF8, FAIL lamp 9
9 is turned on, the gas stove 9 is extinguished (101), the compressor 102 is stopped, the air FAIL valve 112 is opened to release all the air to the atmosphere, and the control is returned after the control of all the devices is stopped. After returning, SF2 is set because the failure flag is 1 in SF2.
The control of 9 or less is executed, and the confirmation control of the failure resolution is executed. More specifically, it is determined in SF9 whether or not the reset switch 97 is pressed. If the reset switch 97 is pressed after the malfunction is eliminated by artificial work, the process proceeds to SF10 and the failure flag is detected. SF to 0
At 11, the control OK lamp 98 is turned on and the start switch 90 is waited for being pressed. Here, if the start switch 90 is pressed, the CPU 87 is configured to output so as to continue the work whose control has been stopped.

The present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, what is injected at the octopus injection station 15 may be corn, squid, ham, etc.
It is not necessary to set the pallet 6 for one serving, and the recesses 4 can be directly added to the conveyors that are set independently for each transfer line.
2 may be configured, or a large pallet may be provided with many recesses 42 to make takoyaki for several servings at a time. further,
In the present embodiment, the gas stove 9 is set, but the gas stove 9 is not limited to this, and any kind of electricity or charcoal may be used. Furthermore, the arrangement of each station is not limited to this. For example, the oil injection station 12 may be connected to the second line 5
It goes without saying that any arrangement such as arranging the brushing station or the brushing station 13 on the first line may be used.
