Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food manufacturing apparatus having a skewer feeding mechanism, and more particularly to a food manufacturing apparatus having a skewer feeding mechanism having a skewer transferring means and a pushing means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to continuously operate a molding process, a roasting process, a cooling process and the like in the production of foods using skewers, for example, the production of bamboo rings, it is necessary to smoothly transfer the skewers between the respective steps. Is. Therefore, a technique shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-44025 has been proposed as a skew feeding mechanism for delivering skewers in the manufacture of bamboo rings. This skewer feeding mechanism of the prior art will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

In the conventional skewer feed mechanism, as shown in FIG. 10, the skewer (10) is fed from the supply portion to the foil (42) on the guide member (40) and enters the recess of the timing gear (43). The timing gear (43) rotates and is passed to the claws (45) of the moving chain (44) in a substantially vertical position, and the skewer (10) is pressed by the belt (47) and rotates to form the forming drum (43). In 46), a bamboo ring is formed. Another prior art is as shown in FIG.
The skewer (10) is sent from the supply unit to the foil (42) on the guide member (40), enters the recess of the timing gear (43), the timing gear (43) rotates, and the sprockets (50) and (51). Chain (4
Passed into the pocket (49) of 4) and the forming drum (46)
The bamboo ring is formed while being pressed and rotated by the belt (47).

[0004]

The above prior art is a mechanism for feeding a moving chain using a timing gear, which requires a timing gear.
Further, when the transfer means for the processing steps that does not depend on the chain is used, the skews between the processing steps cannot be smoothly delivered and received in the above-mentioned conventional technique. The present invention provides a food production apparatus including a skewer feeding mechanism capable of smoothly delivering skewers between processing steps in food production.

[0005]

The present invention comprises a skewer feed mechanism having skewer transfer means and push-up means, and pushes the skewer transferred to the end of the transfer means upward by the skewer push-up means. It is a food manufacturing apparatus provided with a skewer feeding mechanism characterized by raising and feeding the skewers to the next processing step. Further, the present invention provides that the food manufacturing device has means for conveying food material, means for forming food material that rotatably supports the skewer, and levers for pushing up the skewer that has formed the food material. In the food manufacturing apparatus having the skewer feeding mechanism described above, the pushing-up means of the mechanism is provided on a lever that pushes up the skewer formed by molding the food material.

[0006]

In the present invention, since the skewer feeding mechanism having the skewer transferring means and the pushing up means is provided, the trouble due to the timing deviation at the time of delivering the skewers is solved, and the skewers are transferred between the processing steps. It can be done smoothly. Further, by providing a push-up means of the skewer feed mechanism for supplying the skewer to the lever for pushing up the molded skewer, the molded skewer is sent to the next processing step, and at the same time, the skewer is supplied from the storage section to the winding molding section. Is something that can be done.

[0007]

Further, in the present invention, the food manufacturing apparatus uses skewers. For example, in the manufacture of bamboo rings having a forming step, a roasting step, etc., the skewers are transferred between the respective steps for manufacturing. is there. The food manufacturing apparatus is, for example, a belt conveyor that conveys a plate-like surimi as a means for conveying a plate-shaped food material. As a means for forming a food material that rotatably supports the skewers, for example, the skewers are positioned in the recesses and the plate-like surimi on the conveyor belt that is being conveyed is wrapped around the skewers to form the food material. .

The lever for pushing up the formed skewer is for pushing up the skewer formed with the food material by positioning the tip of the lever at the lower part of the concave portion which performs the forming action. The skewer push-up lever is provided with a push-up means of a skewer feed mechanism that supplies skewers to the recess of the shaping means, and the push-up means is also moved up and down by raising and lowering the lever to form a skewer formed by winding the plate-shaped food material. The skewers can be supplied from the storage section to the winding and forming section at the same time as they are sent to the next processing step.

Further, the food material in the present invention includes:
For example, fish meat, livestock, surimi such as chicken, paste containing tuna as a main component, paste containing egg as a main component,
It is a paste-like substance containing starch as the main component such as potatoes, cheese, seaweed, etc., which is formed by winding it on a skewer, and when it is formed by winding it in multiple layers, two or more of these are used. It is used by properly combining, or by combining food materials of the same kind with different colors and flavors, and winding.
