Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for baking ball-shaped food products such as octopus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when baking octopus grills, a gas-heating type baking mold has been used in which a large number of recesses are set up on the upper surface and arranged side by side.
Since the dough that has entered the many recesses is rolled up into a spherical shape by turning it over with a skewer while carefully adjusting the baking amount, the dough in the many recesses has a uniform color and gloss.
There is a problem that a great deal of skill is required to bake into a spherical shape with hardness.

In view of the above, the applicant of the present application, in the previous patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 5-7718), constructed a plurality of baking molds so that the upper surfaces of the baking molds could overlap each other so that one side of the dough was formed. We proposed a device for baking while transferring from one baking mold recess to the other baking mold recess.

[0004]

According to the invention of the prior application, when the two baking molds are reversed in an overlapping state and the dough is transferred from the recess of one baking mold to the recess of the other baking mold, The dough in the recess expands with the effect of being kneaded by hand, so you can bake ball-shaped food into a beautiful spherical shape with uniform color, luster, and hardness without any skill. It has the advantage that it can.

It is an object of the present invention to further develop the invention of the above-mentioned prior application, and to make the apparatus compact without impairing its advantages.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, a pair of baking molds symmetrically arranged on both sides of a horizontally extending rotary shaft and an upper surface of both baking molds overlap each other. And a reversing means that can be individually rotated around the rotating shaft and can be rotated in a superposed state, so as to face each other on the upper surfaces of the baking dies in a state of being overlapped with each other. To form a substantially hemispherical food molding recess,
Further, the both baking dies are provided with an electric heating type heating means.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] With this configuration,
The dough was filled in the recess of one of the baking molds and baked for an appropriate period of time, then the other baking mold was inverted and superimposed on one baking mold, and then both baking molds were superimposed. You can transfer the semi-baked dough from the recess of one baking mold to the recess of the other baking mold by reversing simultaneously in the state, and you can transfer such a half-baked dough from the baking mold to the baking mold. By performing the transfer operation an appropriate number of times, the dough expands while receiving the action of being kneaded by hand,
It is baked into a ball-shaped food with a uniform color, gloss and hardness.

Since the baking mold is a pair, the whole apparatus can be made compact, and since the baking mold has a simple structure only about the rotation axis, the reversing means is robust. The structure can be made and the labor required for maintenance can be reduced. Therefore, according to the present invention, there is an effect that the baking device can be made compact and robust without impairing the advantage of baking the ball-shaped food product into a uniform state without any skill.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the dough is filled in the recess in one baking mold, and then the dough is inverted from the other baking mold by inverting the two baking molds in a stacked state. At the time of transferring, it has an effect that the dough is prevented from protruding from the overlapping surface of both baking dies and can be surely baked in a ball-like state.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a octopus baking apparatus will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a box-shaped machine frame that opens upward, and an inner rotating shaft 3a is horizontally mounted via a bearing 2 between side edges of the machine frame 1 that face each other. The first baking mold 4 and the second baking mold 5 are arranged symmetrically on both left and right sides of the rotary shaft 3a.

The first baking mold 4, as shown in FIG.
The first arm 8 fastened to the first bracket plate 6 with bolts 7 and fixed to both ends of the first bracket 6 is fixed to both left and right ends of the inner turning shaft 3a, while the inner turning shaft 3
At one end of a, a first sprocket 9 forming a part of the reversing means
And the sprocket 12 fitted to the first sprocket 19 and the first drive shaft 11 driven by the motor 10.
The first chain 13 is wound between and (see FIG. 4). A spacer 7 ′ is fitted on the bolt 7.

A first clutch 14 is provided on the first drive shaft 11 to connect and disconnect the power from the motor 10 and to perform a forward and reverse device. Therefore, by operating the first clutch 14 while the motor 10 is driven, the first baking mold 4
Can be overlaid on the second baking mold 5 and returned, and can be inverted. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the second baking die 5 is attached to the second bracket plate 15 with the bolts 16, and the second arm 1 fixed to the second bracket plate 15 is attached.
7 is fixed to a cylindrical outer rotation shaft 3b rotatably fitted to the inner rotation shaft 3a, and a second outer rotation shaft 3b is fitted to one end of the outer rotation shaft 3b as shown in FIG. A second chain 21 is wound around the sprocket 18 and a sprocket 20 fitted to a second drive shaft 19 driven by the motor 10.

A second clutch 22 is provided on the second drive shaft 19, and the second clutch 22 is used to connect and disconnect the power from the motor 10 and to perform a forward and reverse device. Therefore, by operating the second clutch 22 while the motor 10 is driven, the second baking die 5 can be returned to the state of overlapping with the first baking die 4 and rotated. It goes without saying that both baking dies 4 and 5 may be driven by different motors to rotate the motors forward and backward.

When the second baking mold 5 is attached to the second bracket 15 with the bolts 16, the second brackets 15 are loosely fitted to the bolts 16, and the second brackets 15 are attached.
By inserting the compression spring 23 between the second baking mold 5 and the second baking mold 5, the second baking mold 5 resists the spring force of the compression spring 23 when the two baking molds 4 and 5 overlap each other. It is set so that it can be moved closer to 5 by some size.

Formed on the upper surfaces of the both baking molds 4 and 5 are molding recesses 24 and 25, respectively, which are opposed to each other when the both baking molds 4 and 5 are superposed so that their upper surfaces are in close contact with each other. Ten rows are formed for each row. In this case, the depth dimension H1 of the recess 24 in the first baking mold 4 is set to the second baking mold 5
The depth dimension H2 of the recess 25 at
The volume of the recess 24 of the baking mold 4 is set to be about 1.25 times the volume of the recess 25 of the second baking mold 4.

Further, an electric heating type heater 26 and temperature sensors 27 arranged on both sides of the electric heating type heater 26 are embedded in both grilling molds 4 and 5 so that the heating temperature can be adjusted freely (baking octopus grilling). In this case, it is preferable to set it to about 180 ° C). In the above configuration, for example, (a) to FIG.
By repeating the procedure of (f) and
A spherical octopus grill T with a uniform color, gloss, and hardness,
It can be baked continuously without any skill. ． First, as shown in (a), the dough T ′ containing the fillet t of octopus is poured into each recess 24 of the first baking mold 4 for about 8 minutes, and then baked in the first baking mold 4 for an appropriate time. , Takoyaki T
Form almost half of the skin. In this state, the cloth T'swells slightly. ． After baking in the first baking mold 4 for an appropriate time, the second baking mold 5 is inverted and superposed on the first baking mold 4, as shown in FIG. ． Then, as shown in (c), the dough T'is turned over by turning over the two baking molds 4 and 5 so that the first baking mold 4 returns to its original posture. 5
Then, it is transferred to the recess 25 and baked as it is for an appropriate time to form the remaining half of the octopus baked T. In this state, the cloth T'swells considerably and becomes a state close to a sphere. ． As shown in (d), the two baking dies 4 and 5 are overlapped with each other, and the first baking dies 4 are simultaneously inverted so that the first baking dies 4 are in an upward posture.
As shown in (e), the two baking molds 4 and 5 are simultaneously turned over so that the second baking mold 5 faces upward with the two baking molds 4 and 5 being overlapped.

At the steps (d) and (e), since the dough T'is heated while being transferred between the recesses 24, 25 of both baking dies 4, 5, the dough T'is manually heated. It swells while being kneaded, and is baked into a beautiful spherical shape. ． As shown in (f), only the first baking mold 4 is returned to the original state, and the octopus baking T baked in a state fitted in the recess 25 of the second baking mold 5 is placed on a heat-retaining tray or the like. Take it out. It should be noted that the finish baking may be performed in the second baking mold 5 for some time, or the heating temperature of the second baking mold 5 may be freely switched between high and low so that the second baking mold 5 can be kept warm.

When the second baking dies 5 are configured to move closer to the second bracket 15 against the compression spring 23 as in the embodiment, both baking dies 4, 5 can be held in close contact with each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent or reduce the material T ′ and the oil from dripping from the mating surfaces of the both baking molds 4 and 5 when the two baking molds 4 and 5 are reversed in an overlapping state. The spring means such as the compression spring 18 may be provided between the first baking die 4 and the first bracket 6, or may be provided between both baking dies 4 and 5 and both brackets 6 and 15. It goes without saying that it is also good.

When the octopus grill T is to be baked, when the portions of the dough T'that are not fitted in the recesses 24 and 25 of the baking molds 4 and 5 are opened to the atmosphere, it has the property that the flavor is good. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the first baking mold 4 is returned and rotated by an appropriate angle while baking with the second baking mold 5, and as shown in FIG. 7 (g). While the first baking mold 4 is baking, the second baking mold 5 may be returned and rotated by an appropriate angle.

In the above embodiment, the two baking molds 4 and 5 are 180
Although the case where the baking dies 4 and 5 are inverted each time, as shown in FIG. 8, the baking dies 4 and 5 may be inverted 360 degrees. Since the specific gravity of the octopus fillet t and the dough T ′ are different, when inverting the two baking molds 4 and 5, the octopus fillet t sinks downward as shown in FIG. A phenomenon in which a cavity 28 is formed inside the dough T'may occur, but this phenomenon can be avoided by slowing down the reversing speed of both baking molds 4 and 5 or stopping for a short time during the reversing. .

By the way, a large number of recesses 2 are formed in the baking molds 4 and 5.
When the doughs 4 and 25 are formed and the dough is filled in order in the recesses 25, the baking times in the recesses 24 and 25 are different, which causes a problem of uneven baking. Can be eliminated by using a dough filling tool 30 as shown in FIGS. That is, this dough filling device 3
No. 0 is provided with a pair of support plates 31 that are placed on both edges of the first baking dies 4 and a connecting rod 32 that connects the both support plates 31. 1) A cup 34, which rotatably supports shafts 33 extending in parallel at the same intervals as the rows of the recesses 24 in the baking dies 4 and allows the dough T'to enter a certain amount on both shafts 33. , The recesses 24 are attached at the same intervals as the recesses 24, and further, a lever portion 35 for rotating the shaft body 33 is provided at an appropriate portion such as one end or both ends of the both shafts 33, and the recesses 24 in each row are provided. The dough T'can be poured all at once (octopus fillet t
May be placed in the fabric T'in advance or in the recess 24 filled with the fabric T ').

In this case, a stopper 36, such as abutting against the lever portion 35, is provided so that the cup 34 in which the cloth T'is placed does not reverse. In addition, positioning pieces 31a, 31b that come into contact with the side surface and the end surface of the first baking mold 4 are provided at the lower edge of the support plate 31 so that both support plates 31 can be accurately positioned with respect to the first baking mold 4. It is provided. In addition,
It goes without saying that both shaft bodies 33 may be interlocked so that all the cups 34 of the dough filling tool 30 rotate at the same time.

In the present invention, it goes without saying that the shape of the baking mold, the number and arrangement of the recesses, and the specific structure of the inverting means can be arbitrarily selected. Further, a plurality of baking dies may be arranged in series along the rotation axis on both sides sandwiching one rotation axis, and “a pair” in the present application means such a pair. The arrangement state is also included. Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied not only to baking octopus but also to baking other ball-shaped foods.

The reversing means is not limited to the motor,
It is also possible to provide a handle on both the inner and outer shafts as a driving means and manually rotate the handle. (In this case, display means such as a lamp for indicating the timing of reversal may be provided.)
