It is related.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In various plastic foods, especially in confectionery, etc.
Is a consumer not only by taste
It is important to entertain. But this plasticity
The delicate molding of food has traditionally been mechanically continuous.
There is no effective method or device that can be controlled,
The reality is that we had to spend a lot of time and effort.

For example, when a dharma type food is manually manufactured,
In case of
Perform a cutting operation to squeeze the specified amount from the
Take the procedure of forming the lumped material into a dharma mold
Is common, and when you put bean paste etc. inside the food
Also, from the food material prepared in large quantities as the first step
Perform cutting work by squeezing a predetermined amount, then the second stage
As a covering work, wrapping the bean jam with the material
Then, as a third step, a molding operation of molding the encapsulated material into a dharma mold was performed.

As described above, conventionally, the molded foods of various shapes are formed.
When manufacturing products, the first stage "cutting work", the second stage "wrapping"
"Worked", and the third stage "Molding work" in this order
This has to be done over a period of time.
In terms of hygiene, such as the inclusion of bacteria or bacteria, and the prevention of reproduction,
In the food industry, automated mechanization of molded food production has been sought after
It had been done.

However, to date, a large amount of food ingredients have been
Automated the first step "cutting work" to cut a predetermined amount
Equipment, or this first stage "cutting work" and the second stage
Many devices have been developed for simultaneous processing of "wrapping work"
There is.

[0006] For example , Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-29433, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1
-42652 discloses that a large amount of plastic food material is made into a continuous rod shape.
Extrude this bar-shaped food material into several pieces of shredded shreds.
The rotor body along the circumference of the polygon so that it can slide linearly.
Guide it into the cutting gate created with
This is achieved by linearly moving the cutter body.
It is said that the food material is cut by closing the cutting gate of
A cutting device is described.

Further , Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-9051 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-433.
No. 32, and Japanese Patent Application No. 4-42183 by the inventor of the present application , each shutter body performs a simple rotating motion to cut a cutting girder.
Cutting or covering the stick-shaped food in the container
A cutting device is described. These devices transmit motion
The above-mentioned linear slide of the shutter body is accompanied by a complicated mechanism.
Uses a shutter body rotation movement mechanism to eliminate the movement mechanism
This is a cutting device that has
It has become possible to greatly improve cutting speed and cutting speed.
It was

However, the devices proposed so far will eventually
Also performs the first stage “cutting work” and the second stage “wrapping work”
It is a cutting device that performs dynamic processing.
Although Zono rate was indeed improved, the shape of the food product to be manufactured is limited such as a spherical or bale form (long ellipsoidal)
There was no effective device that could mechanically continuously process the above-mentioned third stage "three-dimensional deformation work". In the food industry, until now, based on the same idea as the work procedure when hand-forming a molded food, the conventional cutting device is used to mechanically perform the second stage "encapsulation work" to temporarily cover the encapsulated food. Get
After that, the viewpoint constrained by the existing concept of how to mechanically process the obtained encapsulated food is performed, and therefore, the further development and improvement of the food manufacturing apparatus is performed. In order to make the mechanization of the third stage "molding work" as easy as possible, the main focus was only on the point of performing the second stage "envelope cutting" more completely and neatly.
