Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Purpose of the Invention> Industrial field of application The present invention relates to a three-dimensional molding apparatus for foods, and more specifically, for example, shrimp-like foods, other foods, and confectionery of a desired shape. The present invention relates to a three-dimensional molding device that can continuously manufacture, etc. and has an extremely compact structure.

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, from the occasion of depletion of seafood resources, various mood foods such as kamadoki foods and ikamodoki foods have been proposed and implemented. Modoki food has spread considerably and is commercially available. In general, these kamodoki foods are prepared by using, for example, white fish surimi such as Sukemushi tara as a raw material, and adding a desired essence, for example, crab essence, to a shape close to crab foot meat, for example. Therefore, the outer shape, the taste, the flavor, etc., are made to be close to those of nature.

However, among various varieties of foods, among them, for example, although the manufacturing technology for the squid of foot meat is established, for example, the one equivalent to foolish foot meat is proposed. It has not been. Furthermore, for example, in the shrimp-like food, the shape of natural shrimp, that is, the so-called shrimp peeled meat is extremely complicated. For this reason, it takes a lot of time to mold it into a shape close to this,
A molding device with a complicated structure and a molding die are required.

Furthermore, none of these molding dies and molding apparatuses is a batch-type manufacturing apparatus, which can be continuously manufactured, has been proposed yet.

For example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication (Kokoku) No. 56-38187 discloses a method for producing foods and an apparatus therefor, which is related to how much it corresponds to foot meat. In this method and apparatus, the ground meat containing fish meat as a main component is preliminarily formed into a plate shape, and after the plate-like meat is heated and coagulated, it is cut by making fine comb-shaped cuts with a roller or a cutter. , To make long strips of filamentous material, that is, long filaments. After that, these filaments are arranged in a straight line in the direction and continuously bundled into a columnar shape or a rod shape. After coloring the surface, the filaments are cut to an arbitrary length to produce a food product. . This crab-like food is similar to the so-called natural squid leg structure, and the surface is colored, but unlike the real one, it grows into a shell by shelling. It is not wrapped by the endothelium. Also,
With these methods and devices, the meat tissue of shrimp shrimp is different from foot meat, and its shape is not rod-shaped or columnar but rather complicated. Therefore, it is not possible to produce a pungent food equivalent to shrimp shrimp.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-11164 describes a method for producing an endothelium or crustacea of crustacean from a ground meat whose main component is surimi.

In this method, the shape of the shell or the endothelium is punched using a mold, and the shell or the endothelium is manufactured by so-called die cutting. This method is similar to manual work, and it is the shell of shrimp that is produced by this method, which is the fleshy part of shrimp equivalent to peeled shrimp, and it must be done by a separate process to manufacture this part. First of all, it is difficult to manufacture the shrimp-like foods in a continuous and mass-production manner because the work process is complicated to manufacture the shrimp-like foods.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. Specifically, for example, a long and thin linear material whose main component is seafood surimi and other raw materials are used. We propose a molding device that can continuously mold shrimps and other three-dimensional shapes.

<Structure of the Invention> Means for Solving the Problems and Its Actions That is, the molding apparatus according to the present invention comprises a pair of female and male dies that rotate in opposition to each other. On the other hand, while forming a female type recess, a male type protrusion is provided on the opposite rolling surface of the male type that fits into the female type recess and aligns, and food etc. is continuously molded between the female type and the male type. In a three-dimensional molding device for food, etc., on the opposite rolling surface of the male mold, a male mold recess is formed adjacent to the male mold protrusion that is oriented in the direction opposite to the rotation direction. It is characterized in that the side surface is wrapped with a guide piece aligned with the side wall of the female mold recess, and a molding portion for food or the like continuous with the male mold recess is formed between the guide pieces.

A certain molding portion 30 can be reliably and stably formed without any trouble.

On the other hand, the female mold recess 20 is formed in the female mold 21, and its size, especially the depth, is formed on the side wall surface of the female mold recess 20 by the male projection 10 and the guide pieces 13a, 13b on both sides thereof. Try to be consistent.

Further, in the male projection 10 and the female recess 20, the male mold 11 and the female mold 21 have a circular arc surface as shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 2 (b).
And by rotating at least one or both of the female mold 21 as described below, the food can be three-dimensionally molded,
Molding becomes extremely smooth.

Therefore, regarding the usage mode of the molding apparatus according to the above configuration,
The following is a description with reference to FIGS. 4 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f).

First, in FIG. 4, (a) is a female-shaped recess 20 for the raw material 1.
The raw material 1 is shown in a state of being put inside, and when the shrimp-like food is produced, the raw material 1 is a thin linear material made of fish paste
This is kneaded into a kneaded meat. The raw material 1 can be put into the female mold recess 20 by any method. When the raw material 1 is continuously entered, for example, a screw conveyor is continuously driven by a motor, and the female mold recess is made by the screw conveyor. Raw material 1 can be put in place 20.

Next, after filling the raw material 1 into the female mold recess 20, FIG. 4 (b)
As shown in FIG. 3, when the male die 11 and the female die 21 are opposed to each other and continuously rotated in the direction of the arrow, the male projection 10 and particularly the tips of the inner guide pieces 13a and 13b are located in the female die recess 20. The guide pieces 13a are sequentially inserted from the surface of the raw material 1.
And the molding part 30 between 13b presses the raw material 1 from the surface,
The raw material 1 is molded in the molding unit 30. As this molding progresses,
A part of the raw material 1 in the recess 20 projects and faces the male recess 12. In other words, the male projection 10 includes a pair of guide pieces 13
Using the a and 13b as guides, they are directed in the direction of rotation in the direction of the arrow and enter the female mold recess 20 from the tip. For this reason,
In the molding portion 30 of the guide pieces 13a and 13b, the raw material 1 is sequentially molded from the tip, and the raw material 1 projects from the rear end of the molding portion 30.

When it is further rotated, it goes through the state shown in FIG.
The state shown in FIG. 4D is reached, and the protruding portion of the raw material 1 that is pressed by the male projection 10 and projects from the rear end of the molding portion 30 increases. That is, in the state of FIG. 4 (d), the protruding portion 1a of the raw material 1 increases and protrudes. The male mold recess 12 adjacent to the rear portion of the male mold projection 10 is continuous with the rear end of the molding unit 30, and the molding of the raw material 1 is performed integrally with the molding unit 30 and the male mold recess 12. Then, the state shown in FIG. In the state of FIG. 4 (e), for example, when the shape of the male-shaped recess 12 is configured to match the shape of the head of the shrimp, the body of the shrimp is first molded by the molding unit 30. After that, the protruding portion 1a of the raw material 1 is formed on the head of the shrimp by the male recess 12 to form the food 40 such as shrimp-like food having a shape almost similar to that of shrimp.

Furthermore, both molds 11 and 21 are rotated, the male projection 10 is separated from the female mold recess 20, and the food 40 and the confectionery are partly separated from the female mold recess 12 such as the head. Female recess 20
Remain inside and remove it, for example, female recess 20
When the food 40 or the confectionery is faced down in, it can be automatically removed.

<Effects of the Invention> As described in detail above, the molding apparatus according to the present invention comprises a pair of female molds and male molds that rotate in opposition to each other, and female mold recesses are formed on the opposite rolling surfaces of the female molds. On the other hand, a three-dimensional molding device for foods, etc., in which foods etc. are continuously molded between the female mold and the male mold by forming male protrusions that enter into the female mold recess on the opposite rolling surface of the male mold In the above, on the opposite rolling surface of the male die, the male die recess is formed in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation, and the male die recess is formed adjacent to the male die projection. It is characterized in that it is formed by wrapping it with a guide piece aligned with the side wall of, and forming a molding portion of food or the like continuous to the male mold recess between these guide pieces.

For this reason, the female mold and the male mold can be rotated and molded, and the mold can be removed, so that foods, confectionery, and the like can be continuously formed.

Further, since the molding portion is formed between the pair of guide pieces of the male projection, and the male recess is formed in the rear portion of the male projection, the raw material is first paired with the male projection in the female recess. After molding in the molding portion between the guide pieces, molding is performed in the male recess, and for example, even if it has a complicated complicated shape such as a shrimp-like food, it can be continuously three-dimensionally molded.
