Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a baking mold for baking food, which is widely used for all foods made by baking wheat flour and the like, and is preferably used for baking octopus baked goods. . Further, the present invention relates to an octopus ware manufacturing apparatus and method using the ware.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In octopus ware, a baking mold having a hemispherical concave portion is heated, oil is applied to the concave portion, and food materials such as meriken powder and octopus pieces are filled. Baking the spheres while rotating the dough up and down half way. As described above, octopus porcelains are conventionally manufactured one by one manually, so that the production efficiency is poor and is not suitable for mass production. Therefore, various octopus making apparatuses have been conventionally proposed, but the following two points are major obstacles to mechanization.

[0003] The first problem is how to take octopus ware from the ware. According to the conventional method, the food material is filled into the concave portion of the baking mold having a plurality of recesses, and when the whole is baked, the baking mold is inverted so that the octopus ware is taken out from the baked mold. There was a problem that sticking to the baking mold did not separate well. In particular, octopus porcelain must be provided to customers with a certain degree of softness because the texture of the octopus porcelain will deteriorate if the outside is overbaked, and the value of the product will be reduced. It is one of the causes that is easy to do. In such a case, as a known means for taking out the octopus-yaki, there is a method in which an impact is applied to an inverted yaki (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-205435 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-1).
No. 31057), however, there was also an octopus porcelain that could not be partially separated because it was impossible to simultaneously and uniformly apply an impact to a plurality of concave portions.

[0004] A second problem is that octopus ware must be formed in a substantially spherical shape in appearance. As described above, conventionally, half-baked dough is manually inverted to form a sphere, and when manufacturing octopus ware is mechanized, how to form the material into a sphere becomes a problem. As a prior art concerning this, for example, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 6-19486 discloses that the shape of the baking mold is characterized, but it is still impossible to obtain a good sphere unless the dough is inverted by any means. Can not.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention was conceived based on a completely new idea in order to solve the above-mentioned problem that hinders the mechanization of octopus ware. A first object is to provide a baking mold that can be taken out well. Further, a second object of the present invention is to provide a spherical octopus grill while automatically manufacturing an octopus grill by mechanizing a reversal operation of the octopus grill which has been conventionally performed manually. An object of the present invention is to provide an octopus making apparatus.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a technical means adopted by the present invention is to divide a bottom portion of the concave portion in a food baking die having a concave portion for filling food material on the upper surface of the die. And the bottom portion can be moved up and down freely. By doing so, the bottom portion formed separately from the concave portion main body rises while supporting the partially burnt octopus grilling, and separates the octopus grilling from the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion. Also, by repeating raising and lowering the bottom several times,
The semi-burnt dough rotates little by little so that the dough can be formed into a spherical shape. In particular, if the divided bottom portion is formed to be slightly eccentric with respect to the center of the bottom portion to be eccentric, raising the eccentric divided bottom portion allows the dough to be inverted well, and the dough can be arranged in a spherical shape.

Preferably, a plurality of recesses are continuously provided on the upper surface of the mold, and an elevating rod is provided on the lower surface of the bottom of the recesses.
The elevating rod is connected by a horizontal elevating bar, and the elevating bar is connected.
It is preferable that a plurality of bottoms be moved up and down at the same time by moving up and down. By doing so, the octopus ware can be efficiently peeled off from the ware.

However, in order to efficiently form the octopus porcelain into a spherical shape, it is preferable to reverse the semi-baked octopus porcelain and form the octopus porcelain into a spherical shape with the upper surface side attached to the concave portion. To this end, a baking mold having a concave portion for filling the food material on the upper surface of the baking mold and dividing the bottom of the concave portion so as to be able to move up and down is arranged opposite to the upper surface of the baking mold with the concave portion interposed therebetween. With a clamping arm,
A manufacturing apparatus is used in which opposed clamping arms are movable in the horizontal direction so as to be in contact with and separated from each other, and are rotatable about the arm shaft. The lifting stroke at the bottom is set so that at least a part of the semi-burnt octopus ware supported on the bottom is located above the upper surface of the mold. With this configuration, the semi-burnt dough can be held by the clamping arm and the semi-burnt dough can be inverted by about 180 degrees.

In the method of manufacturing octopus ware using such an apparatus, the baking mold is heated to a predetermined temperature, oil and food materials are supplied to the recesses, and the bottom is raised when the food materials are heated for a predetermined time and the surface is hardened. Then, the food material is raised above the concave portion, and the opposing clamping arms approach each other to clamp the food material and rotate the clamping arm to invert the food material,
By separating the clamping arms from each other, the inverted food material is dropped into the recess, and the inverted food material is baked.

As described above, raising the divided bottom not only causes the octopus to be peeled off from the recess but also constitutes a part of the means for inverting the octopus. Also, when removing the baked octopus ware, raise the bottom and hold the octopus ware with the clamping arm.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings based on an octopus firing mold. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a baking mold, and FIG.
Is configured such that a plurality of recesses 2 are arranged in the weft direction by continuously arranging unit firing molds 3 in which the plurality of recesses 2 are continuously arranged in the weft direction in the warp direction. The unit firing mold 3 has ten concave portions 2, but the number of concave portions 2 is not limited to the illustrated one. However, it is preferable that the number of the concave portions 2 of the unit firing mold 3 corresponds to the number of one person. In addition, the number of serially connected units is not limited to the illustrated one. Although the mold of the embodiment is made of aluminum, the material of the mold is not particularly limited.

The bottom portion 2a of the concave portion 2 of the unit firing mold 3 is formed separately from the concave portion main body, and as shown in FIG. 3A, the bottom portion 2a is integrated with the concave portion main body. 2 can be moved up and down between a state forming a bottom portion and a state being lifted upward in the recess 2. The up-and-down stroke of the bottom 2a is set so that a part of the semi-burnt octopus grill 4 supported on the bottom 2a is located above the upper surface of the mold. In the embodiment, the lifting rod 5 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom 2a, and the bottom 2a is vertically moved via the lifting rod 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, an elevating rod 5 is provided on the bottom lower surface of the plurality of recesses 2, and the elevating rods 5 are connected by a horizontal elevating bar 6, and the elevating bar 6 is moved up and down. To move the plurality of bottoms 2a up and down simultaneously. The elevating bar 6 is supported at both ends by elevating means 7 having a cylinder, and is vertically moved by the elevating means 7. As described above, the bottom 2a
Is set so that a part of the semi-burnt octopus roast 4 supported on the bottom 2a is located above the upper surface of the baking mold. As shown in FIG. 2 (e), the lifting rod 5 has a substantially columnar shape, and the upper end surface is formed as a concave surface to form a bottom portion 2.
a, and an insertion hole 5a through which the lifting bar 6 passes is formed below. As shown in FIG. 2D, a hole 2b is formed in a portion located at the bottom of the concave body, and the lifting rod 5 moves up and down in the hole 2b.

However, the means for raising and lowering the bottom 2a is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 3D, the bottom 2a is supported by a support 5b around which a spring 8 is wound, and air is used. The bottom 2a may be moved up and down. 3 (b) and 3 (c) relate to another embodiment of the concave portion 2, wherein FIG. 3 (b) shows two bottom portions 2a and 2a which can be raised and lowered simultaneously, and FIG. The desired portion of the peripheral surface from the side surface to the bottom portion is divided into several portions (2c, 2c) so as to be able to move up and down, and in the illustrated one, four portions of the inner peripheral surface are divided (in that portion). , Two are shown). As described above, a desired part of the concave portion 2 is formed separately from the concave portion main body, and the octopus attached to the inner surface of the concave portion is released from the concave portion 2 by moving the portion up and down. In the case of FIG. 3 (c), the division may be vertically movable by pulling up the division from above.

3A and 3D, the bottom center of the recess 2 is divided to form a bottom 2a which can be moved up and down. By dividing the center of the bottom of the recess 2, when oil is supplied, the oil accumulates in the bottom 2, so that there is no fear of oil leaking downward from the divided portion. FIG. 3 (e) is a plan view and a side sectional view according to another embodiment of the divided bottom portion, in which a divided bottom portion 2a decentered slightly off-center from the center of the bottom portion is formed. In this manner, when the divided bottom portion 2a is raised with a certain amount of momentum, the dough 4 is inverted while being peeled off, and the dough 4 can be arranged in a spherical shape. In this case, however, there is a fear that the oil may fall downward from the divided portion. However, even if the oil falls, there is substantially no problem since cleaning of the lower driving part is only required slightly.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a reversing mechanism of the octopus porcelain. The octopus porcelain supported by the divided bottom portion 2a is clamped by a pair of clamping arms 9, 9 to be reversed. . The holding arm 9 includes a shaft 9a and a holding portion 9b provided at one end of the shaft 9a, and a bevel gear 10a is provided at the other end of the shaft 9a. Although the holding portion 9b in FIG. 4 (a) is formed in a shape that pierces the octopus porcelain lightly, as a result of an experiment, it is better to form the fabric into a semicircle in plan view as shown in FIG. 4 (d). It turned out that it could be pinched.
In the case where the holding portion 9b having a semicircular shape in plan view is adopted as shown in FIG. 4D, the diameter of the holding portion 9b is set to be about 1 mm smaller than the diameter that the octopus grill formed by the concave portion 2 will have. The octopus ware can be satisfactorily held when the opposing holding arms 9 approach. Further, the edge 9c of the holding portion 9b may be provided with unevenness (not shown) of about 1 mm so that the opposite edges of the holding portion are locked. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a reversing mechanism employing the holding portion 9b of FIG. 4D, and the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals.
Note that the shape of the holding portion 9b is not limited to the shape shown in the drawing, but it is essential that the material can be held from both sides by the opposing holding portions 9b.

As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG.
A rotary drive shaft 11 is disposed vertically to a shaft portion 9 a of the drive shaft 9, and a bevel gear 10 b provided at a lower end of the drive shaft 11 is provided.
Are engaged with the bevel gear 10a of the shaft portion 9a. A pinion gear 12 is provided at an upper end of the drive shaft 11, and the drive shaft 11 is rotated via the pinion gear 12 by the horizontal movement of the rack 13 meshed with the pinion gear 12, and transmitted by the bevel gears 10a and 10b. As a result, the shaft portion 9a rotates approximately 180 degrees. However, the half-burned octopus grilled by the gripping arm 9 only needs to be inverted and fall into the concave portion 2, so that it does not necessarily need to be rotated by 180 degrees. The rotary drive shaft 11 is rotatably mounted in a known elongated case 11a. A plurality of racks 13 are provided at positions above the respective drive shafts 11, and the plurality of racks 13 are mounted on an elongated sliding plate 13a. The plurality of racks 13 can be moved simultaneously by moving the racks 13 horizontally.

The other end of the shaft portion 9a of the holding arm 9 and the transmission portion at the lower end of the drive shaft 11 are housed in a case 14, and the holding arm 9 passes through the case 14. It is mounted on a horizontal movement drive plate 15 which is disposed opposite to the recess 2 (the drive shaft 11 is omitted in FIG. 7). The opposing horizontal drive plates 15 are approached and separated from each other by the same distance by the drive unit 16, and the clamping arm 9 mounted on the case 14 in conjunction with the movement of the drive plate 15. Are also approached and separated from each other by the same distance. As shown in FIG. 7, the drive unit 16 of the horizontal drive plate 15 forms a rack 16b at a position where two drive shafts 16a are opposed to each other, and connects the opposed rack 16b to the pinion 1.
6c has a known configuration to be linked via
The two drive shafts 16a are simultaneously moved in different directions by the same dimension.

The drive unit is vertically movably arranged by a lifting means (not shown) having a cylinder. The drive unit is always on standby above the mold 1 and moves to the mold 1 in conjunction with the upward movement of the bottom 2a. It is moved down to a close position, and the half-burned octopus porcelain supported on the bottom 2a by the clamping arm 9 is clamped. Further, the lifting / lowering means is movable in the horizontal direction (longitudinal direction) in the left and right direction by a sliding body (not shown), and when the work in one unit baking mold 3 is completed, it moves to a position corresponding to the next unit baking mold 3. It is supposed to.

The method of manufacturing octopus ware using the octopus ware manufacturing apparatus constructed as described above will be described. First, the baked mold 3 is heated to a predetermined temperature, oil is supplied to the concave portion 2, and meriken powder, octopus pieces, etc. Supply material (dough). The time until the surface of the material is baked to an appropriate hardness is set in advance, and the plurality of bottoms 2a are simultaneously raised by the elevating means 7 after a lapse of the predetermined time. As the bottom 2a rises, the semi-burnt dough is lifted upward away from the recess 2.

When the octopus roast in the semi-baked state is lifted to the upper end portion of the recess 2, the drive unit 1 is moved up and down by a lifting means (not shown).
By lowering 6, the holding arm 9 is lowered to a position close to the upper surface of the mold, and the horizontal driving plate 15 is driven so as to approach, so that the holding arm 9 approaches.
The octopus porcelain supported by the bottom 2a is clamped from both sides.
When the octopus porcelain is clamped by the clamping arm 9, the bottom portion 2a descends and interlocks with the linear movement of the rack 13 via the pinion gear 12 and the bevel gears 10a and 10b.
Is inverted and the octopus porcelain sandwiched is also inverted. When the holding arm 9 is inverted, the horizontal drive plate 15 operates so as to be separated, and when the holding arm 9 is separated, the sandwiched octopus falls into the recess 2. By inverting the half-baked octopus and storing it in the recess 2, the upper part of the half-baked is burned along the recess 2, and a spherical octopus is formed. Also, after the pinched octopus has fallen into the concave portion 2, if the upper portion of the octopus is lightly pressed by a pressing means (not shown), the octopus can be formed into a good spherical shape.

Also, without inverting the half-baked dough,
By moving the bottom portion 2a up and down a plurality of times, the dough can be rotated little by little, and as a result, a spherical octopus porcelain can be formed. In other words, the operation of moving the octopus grill up and down a plurality of times corresponds to the operation of rotating the octopus grill gradually little by little by hand. At this time, it is not necessary to hold the octopus grill and turn it over. Therefore, it is advisable to move the bottom up and down by raising and lowering the stroke at the bottom and raising the speed. It should be noted that a good spherical shape can be obtained by turning the bottom 2a up and down a plurality of times after the octopus porcelain is once inverted and housed in the recess 2.

When the octopus porcelain is formed into a desired spherical shape and is appropriately baked, it is necessary to take out the octopus porcelain. At this time, the octopus porcelain is raised by raising the bottom portion 2a, and the holding arm 9 is provided. The octopus ware is held in the container by horizontally moving the drive unit 16 above the container (not shown) while the holding arm 9 is holding the octopus ware, and separating the holding arm 9. Let it fall. Of course, in this case, the clamping arm 9
Need not be inverted. Next, the driving unit 16 is moved horizontally above the adjacent unit firing mold 3 and the same operation is repeated. In addition, when the octopus ware is baked, the octopus ware can be kept warm without burning by moving the bottom part up and down a plurality of times and rotating or throwing the octopus ware little by little. Further, by repeatedly holding the octopus with the clamping arm for a predetermined time and dropping the octopus in the recess, the octopus can be kept warm without burning. In the embodiment, the bottom portion 2 is arranged in each row so as to correspond to one person.
Although the method of manufacturing octopus ware by raising and lowering a has been described, if mass production is required, the bottoms of a plurality of rows or the bottoms of all recesses may be simultaneously moved up and down.
