Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

This invention relates to bite dumplings, that is,
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing small dumplings that are about 1/4 the size (weight ratio) of conventional dumplings and that can be eaten in one bite.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a dumpling manufacturing apparatus is equipped with a pair of palm-shaped rounded palms, a circular dumpling skin is placed on the rounded palms, and then an ingredient is placed on the center thereof. After that, the rounded palms are closed so as to form a palm, and the gyoza skin is folded in two symmetrically from the center, and a tool is sandwiched between them to adhere the peripheral edge of the skin.

[0003]

However, when an attempt is made to make bite gyoza using this apparatus, the bite gyoza with a small outer shape has a small adhesive margin formed on the peripheral edge of the skin, so that the adhesiveness at the closed part of the skin is incomplete. There is a problem that it becomes very difficult to make the "please-shaped" unevenness that should be formed in the closed portion of the dumpling. Further, in order to solve such a problem, when the bite gyoza was made with only the sticking allowance being the same size as the conventional one, the amount of the skin was larger than the amount of the ingredient and the taste was deteriorated.

[0004]

As a method for solving the above problems, the present invention uses a skin in which a pair of a plurality of convex portions and concave portions are symmetrically arranged on the peripheral edge and supports the skin. The support base is provided with a grip claw composed of two claw members that advance and retreat in correspondence with the recess formed in the gyoza skin, and the grip claw is advanced toward the center of the gyoza skin to allow the peripheral edge to move. It is intended to lift and adhere the adjacent peripheral edges to each other. Specifically, the grip claws are composed of one group that approaches first and one group that approaches later, and the peripheral edges of the skins are lifted and adhered to each other with a time lag. More specifically,
In the gyoza skin, the envelope of the convex portion is formed into a substantially elliptical shape, and the grip claws are composed of at least two pairs arranged to cross each other with the gyoza skin sandwiched therebetween. It is composed of at least several pairs that come first and at least one pair that comes later, and the peripheral edges of the skins are lifted and adhered to each other with a time lag.

As a device, a plurality of grooves intersecting with each other are provided in a support plate for supporting the skin of gyoza, three pairs of grip claws are projected from the lower surface through the grooves, and a substantially middle portion of the grip claws is supported by a support pin. A grip driving mechanism is provided below the support pin of the grip claw while supporting the support plate rotatably via the. More specifically, the inside of the grip claw is formed into an arcuate surface whose inner surface is convex outward.

[0006]

[Function] Putting a tool on the skin of the dumpling and advancing the grip nail toward the recess formed in the peripheral edge of the skin, the skin of the dumpling is pushed up along the inner surface of the grip nail and is left behind. Wrap the ingredients inside. When the progress of the gripping nail reaches the final stage, the adjacent convex portions come close to each other so that the convex portions come into contact with each other, and at this time, the pair that progresses with a delay presses the contact portions to ensure adhesion.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 (a) shows a dumpling 6 produced by the present invention.
Indicates 0. The gyoza 60 is made by wrapping a gyoza ingredient 62 in a gyoza skin 61 as in the conventional case. The dumpling skin 61 is made of substantially the same material as the conventional one and has the same thickness, but is made smaller than that. Further, instead of the conventional disc shape, it is formed in a substantially oval shape having irregularities on the periphery. That is, the gyoza skin 61 has six concave portions 61b and convex portions 61a alternately provided on the peripheral edge thereof, and has a shape substantially inscribed in an ellipse Z having a major axis X and a minor axis Y. More specifically, the concave portion 61b has a pair of the short axis Y and the short axis Y on the short axis Y.
Two axes Z, Z that intersect at an angle of 45 ° to
Each pair is arranged on the top. The number of the concave portions 61b and the convex portions 61a need not be limited to six, and may be eight depending on the size of the gyoza, but when the number exceeds ten, the gyoza 60 is obtained.
Molding becomes difficult.

2 to 3, reference numeral 10 denotes an apparatus for manufacturing dumplings 60 according to the present invention, which is a so-called triple picking machine capable of simultaneously manufacturing three dumplings. Reference numeral 11 denotes the frame, which includes a base plate 11a obtained by stacking and welding two steel plates, and a pillar plate 11 above the base plate 11a.
The upper surface plate 11c is supported in parallel via b and 11b. The top plate 11c is provided to support the gyoza skin 61 during the production of the gyoza. Support plate 12
A plurality of gripping claws 20 for projecting the gyoza skin 61 and wrapping the gyoza ingredient 62 inside are projectingly provided in the.

The grip claw 20 is composed of two claw members 20a, 20a which are vertically arranged to pass through an elongated through hole 14 provided in the upper surface plate 11c. The through hole 1
Reference numeral 4 corresponds to the position of the recess 61b formed in the gyoza skin 61, and is formed in three groove shapes intersecting at an angle of 45 °. A grip 20 is provided in each of the through holes 14. The claw members 20a, 20a forming the grip claw 20 are rotatably supported by the upper plate 11c by the support pins 15 at approximately the middle portion, and the upper end of the claw members 20a and 20a project above the upper plate 11c, and the lower end thereof is the link member 21. It is connected to the elevating plate 22 via. The upper end of the link member 21 is connected to the pawl member 20a via an upper pin 23, and the lower end thereof is rotatable via a lower pin 24 to a hexagonal column-shaped connecting member 25 provided on an elevating plate 22 described later. It is connected. The inner surfaces 20b of the claw members 20a, which face each other, are recessed in a smooth arc shape, and form a guide surface that guides the peripheral edge of the skin 61 of the gyoza.

Of the three pairs of gripping claws 20, two pairs that are orthogonal to each other act mainly as a rounding claw R for rounding the gyoza skin 61, and 1 interposed between them.
The pair adheres to the periphery of the gyoza skin 61 and acts as a closing claw C that closes the tool 62 so as not to spill. That is, the lifting mechanism 30 has a known floating mechanism and a phase difference (neither shown) interposed between the closing claw C and the rounding claw R,
The closing claw C starts moving forward a little later than the rounding claw R,
After the skin 61 wraps the tool 62 by the rounding claw R, one of the convex portions 61a protruding outward is pushed in and the overlapping portion of the skin 61 is pressed to be adhered. Further, in this embodiment, the rounding claw R and the closing claw C are shown to have the same size and the same shape, but it goes without saying that those shapes may be appropriately changed depending on the function. Is.

Next, an elevating mechanism 30 for elevating the elevating plate 22 will be described with reference to FIGS. The elevating mechanism 30 has a swing arm 31. The swing arm 31 has a support shaft 3 at the base end.
2 and a pair of left and right support brackets 33 make the frame 1
It is supported by 1 and is driven by an electric motor (not shown), and driven by an electric motor (not shown) to swing up and down. The free end of the swing arm 31 is connected via a connecting pin 34,
It is connected to a connecting bracket 28 provided on the lower surface of the elevating plate 22. Thus, the swing arm 31 raises and lowers the elevating plate 22 connected to the connecting member 25.

As shown in FIG. 2, three slide bars 26 extending downward from the connecting member 25 are provided on the lower surface of the elevating plate 22, and are guided by a guide bush 27 provided on the frame 11. The lifting / lowering operation of the lifting / lowering plate 22 is smoothly and accurately performed. Each of the sliding bars 26 has a columnar shape, and the lower ends thereof are connected to each other by a connecting plate 29 on the lower side of the frame 11. Thus, when the swing arm 31 moves up and down the elevating plate 22, the lower end of the link member 21 moves up and down, and at the same time, the grip claw 20 rotates around the support pin 15 to open and close the mutual spacing S.

Next, a manufacturing method for manufacturing bite gyoza using the manufacturing apparatus 10 will be described. First, the swing arm 31 is swung downward to a position indicated by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. 4 by an electric motor (not shown). As a result, the lift plate 22 is guided by the three sliding bars 26 and moves down. Therefore, the link member 2
1 is pulled downward, the grip claw 20 rotates about the support pin 15, and its upper end opens outward to the position shown by the solid line in FIG.

Thereafter, a gyoza skin 61 is inserted between the claw members 20a, 20a (spacing S), and the recess 60 of the skin 61 is placed at a position corresponding to the grip claw 20, as shown in FIG. 1 (a). Then, the dumpling ingredient 62 is placed in the central portion. Next, when the swing arm 31 is swung upward to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 4 and the lift plate 22 is raised to the upper limit position, the grip claw 20 is slowly closed as the lift plate 22 is raised. In the previous stage of this closing process, when the claw member 20a forming the rounding claw R is rotated inward about the support pin 35, as shown by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. It is pushed by the inner surface, guided by the arcuate surface formed on the inner surface of the claw member 20a, and bent upward. As a result, the concave portion 60 is bent inward and the convex portion 61 is bent outward, and at the latter stage, the portion protruding outward by the closing claw C is pushed inward, and at the same time, the overlapping portion of the peripheral edge of the skin 61 is caused by the pressure. They stick to each other and the opening of the skin 61 is closed.

[0015]

As described above, in the method for producing bite dumplings according to the present invention, since the concave portion formed on the periphery of the gyoza skin is pushed inward and rounded, the concave portion is bent inward and the convex portion is bent outward. Since the ingredients are wrapped inside, the protrusions stick to each other to close the opening. Therefore, the amount of skin is reduced by the amount of the recessed edge, and the "folds" that form the adhesive portion are increased, so that seasonings such as sauces adhere well and the taste is good. In addition, the peripheral edge of the skin is uneven, and the length of adhesion is long, so a sufficient size of the adhesion part can be obtained, there is no problem that the closed part opens, and the appearance of the dumpling is good etc. Has the effect of.
