Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for quantitatively dividing food dough, and more specifically, a quantitative measuring means for quantitatively determining food dough supplied from a hopper, and a quantitative determination by the quantitative measuring means. The present invention relates to an apparatus for quantitatively dividing food dough, which comprises a dividing means for taking out food dough.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a quantitative measuring means for quantitatively determining bread cakes, apricots, confectionery, meat, fish paste, and other food dough supplied from a hopper, and quantitative determination by the quantitative measuring means. There are various kinds of quantitative dividing devices for food dough which are composed of a dividing means for taking out the food dough.

Conventionally, as this kind of quantitative dividing device, a dough inflow tube which is continuous to the lower part of the hopper and into which the food dough from the hopper is inserted, and a dough quantitative measuring piston which moves up and down in the dough inflow tube. There is a quantitative dividing device comprising a quantitative measuring means and a dividing means comprising a take-out piston for laterally pushing the food dough flowing into the dough inflow cylinder by the dough quantitative measuring piston to obtain a unit amount of the food dough.

That is, a fixed amount of food dough is sucked into the dough inflow cylinder by a negative pressure due to the piston movement of the dough fixed amount measuring piston, and the sucked fixed amount of food dough is pushed out laterally by a take-out piston.

[0005]

According to the above-mentioned prior art, there are some problems in the following points. That is, since the food material is sucked by the piston, air may enter into the material inflow cylinder together with the food material. Therefore, when a certain amount of food dough is sucked into the dough inflow cylinder, air is mixed in the food dough and has a predetermined volume, but the unit food dough in a state of insufficient weight is divided and taken out. It was something that ended up.

In particular, in the case of a food material that is fermented such as bread dough and contains east bacteria, gas is always generated by the fermentation, and the food material has been sucked in the state containing the gas. Then, the food dough that is insufficient in weight and contains air, gas, and the like is removed, and it is difficult to obtain a food dough having a good predetermined volume and a predetermined weight.

Further, since the piston is used, oil is required to move the piston well. Although the use of a small amount of the above-mentioned oil is permitted, paraffin oil and the like, which are not very preferable in terms of food hygiene, are used, and therefore there is a demand for an apparatus having a structure in which these oils are less likely to stick to food dough. It was
