Is made of Teflon (a trade name of DuPont's ethylene tetrafluoride resin) and can be used up to about 270 ° C, so it can withstand a firing temperature of about 200 ° C.

On the upper side of the baking section 14, shelves 15 are arranged in multiple stages, and the baked patties 10 are combined under a predetermined temperature and humidity environment condition, that is, they are made into hamburgers. It can be temporarily placed and stored until it is taken out. The inter-process transport unit 16 has a function of placing the cut patties 10, transporting the patties 10 to the baking unit 14 and pushing them in, receiving the patties 10 extruded after baking, and then transporting the patties 10 to the shelf 15 and pushing them in. 16a, a lower conveyor 16b, a pushing mechanism 16c attached to the right side of the lower conveyor 16b, and a lifting mechanism 16d having a belt structure for carrying the whole of the lower mechanism 16c. The pushing mechanism 16c has, for example, a well-known pantograph structure, and can move the patty 10 placed on the lower conveyor 16b by pushing it to the left.

Here, a modified example in which the structure of the baking section 14 and the inter-process transport section 16 is slightly changed may be considered.
As for the baking section 14, instead of the above-described heat-resistant belt 14c and brush 14d, as shown partially in the upper part of FIG. 3, a heat-resistant sheet stretched in contact with the upper surface of the lower iron plate 14b. 14i and a brush 14 attached to the lower iron plate 14b.
An extrusion mechanism 14j with k is provided. Regarding the inter-process transport section 16, although not shown here, upper and lower conveyors 16a and 16b are replaced with mounting tables with upper and lower pushing mechanisms. Since the push-out mechanism 14j is a narrow part, a pin provided at the tip of the swinging lever and a slit-shaped groove provided on the push-out mechanism 14j side are used, using a space on the left side so as not to take up space on the left side. This is a well-known structure by engagement with a. In short, the pushing mechanism 14j

A display section 18 is provided on the left side of each shelf 15 so as to be turned on / off. When turned on, the shelf 15 indicates that at least one patty 10 is stored, and when turned off, the shelf 15 is empty. Show that there is. A keyboard 19 is provided below the lowermost shelf 15, and the attendant inputs the number of patties 10 taken out and the number of the shelves 15 emptied by taking out the keys. Information on the number of patties 10 to be taken out based on the key input is sent to the production management device 2 (see FIG. 1), and information on the number of empty shelves 15 is sent to the control unit of the automatic patty baking machine 3. This is a condition for selecting the shelf 15 to which the putty 10 after firing is to be fed.

For the selection of the shelf 15, a sensor for detecting the individual presence of the patty 10 is provided, and if the selection is made based on the detection signal, the patty 10 can be placed and placed accurately. Can be saved. However, in light of the fact that it is not necessary to pack the data so accurately in practice, and the fact that providing a sensor is disadvantageous in terms of cost, a simple selection method based on the following criteria is used as an example. Can be

(1) Initially, a maximum of four patties 10 baked simultaneously are fed in order from the top shelf 15 downward, and one shelf 15 has a front row and a rear row. I will send it to the row twice in a row. This is mechanically advanced to the lowest shelf 15. Depending on the order, the number of baked patties 10 may be less than 3 at the same time.
We send in the state that there is not all the pieces in the chip. In this connection, from the first-in first-out principle, it is preferable that the attendant take out from the lit upper shelf 15 as much as possible.

(2) When the putting of the patties 10 to the shelf 15 has been completed once from the highest level to the lowest level, thereafter, the feeding is performed twice preferentially from the highest empty shelf 15 via the control unit. Will do it. The information of the empty shelf 15 is based on the key input by the attendant of the number of the shelf 15 found to be empty when the patty 10 is taken out. (3) If there is at least one patty 10 on one shelf 15, that is, if there is no empty input by the attendant, no feeding is performed there (the display unit 18 is also lit).

The firing unit 23 includes a lower iron plate 23a, an upper iron plate 23b, a moving mechanism 23c for moving the upper iron plate 23b up and down, and an extruding mechanism 23d. Since the extruding mechanism 23d is a narrow part, it has the same well-known structure as that of the automatic patty baking machine 3 using a side space so as not to take a space on the left side. Then, the pair of the lower part 20a and the upper part 20c of the bun mounted on the mounting table 25a is simultaneously pushed leftward as shown by the arrow by the pushing mechanism 25b, and is pushed onto the lower iron plate 23a in a state where both are adjacent. Before that, the upper iron plate 23
b is moved upward by the moving mechanism 23c to the position indicated by the solid line, and does not hinder the pushing of the buns 20 (the pair of the lower part 20a and the upper part 20c). In the baking firing section 23, no oil residue is generated, and the heating time is shorter than that for the patty, so that the installation of the brush and the heat insulating outer wall is omitted. The upper iron plate 23b is
It is not used in the standard specification and is used only in the middle part 20b of the bun. In addition, the structure of the moving mechanism 23c can be simplified since it only moves up and down in parallel. In FIG.
The mounting table 25a of the inter-process transfer section 25 waits for the baking of the buns 20 while keeping the level, and receives the baked buns 20 pushed out by the pushing mechanism 23d as shown by arrows. The buns 20 were fired at a temperature of about 200 ° C. for a time of about 10 seconds. As described above, the firing is typically performed on only one side. Further, when the bun 20 is received, the pushing mechanism 25b is in a contracted state and does not prevent it.

In FIG. 13, the mounting table 25 of the inter-process transfer section 25
a rises to a level corresponding to the shelf 24 where the fired buns 20 should be placed and stored, where the buns 20 (the lower 20a and the upper
20c) is fed into the shelf 24 via the pushing mechanism 25b. It is convenient to specify the shelf 24 used for the middle part 20b of the vans in advance. Here, regarding the selection of the shelf 24 for feeding the buns 20 through the pushing mechanism 25b,
It is performed according to the time of 10. Rather, the buns 20 (the pair of the lower part 20a and the upper part 20c, or the middle part 20b) are only one row, which is easier than the case of the patty 10.

The appearance of the embodiment will be described with reference to the perspective view of FIG. In FIG. 14, drawers 27 are arranged side by side on the upper side of the front, and the storage tubes 21 are installed together with the cut-out portions 22 on the respective drawers 27. In this drawing, only the drawer 27 on the right side is pulled out, and the others are pushed in. The shelves 24 are arranged in multiple stages in the middle of the front, and can be pulled out forward by a staff member to take out the required number of buns 20. A display unit 28 is provided on the left side of each shelf 24,
When lit, it indicates that at least one set or one of the buns 20 is stored in the shelf 24, and when turned off, it indicates that the shelf 24 is empty. Keyboard 29 under the bottom shelf 24
Is provided, and the attendant inputs the number of the buns 20 taken out and the number of the shelf 24 emptied by taking out the keys. The information on the number of buns 20 to be taken out based on the key input is sent to the production management device 2 (see FIG. 1), and the information on the empty shelf 24 is sent to the control unit of the automatic bun baking machine 4. This is a condition for selecting a shelf 24 to which the fired buns 20 should be sent.
