Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a confectionery manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly to a confectionery manufacturing apparatus capable of automatically and individually removing confections continuously and automatically wound around a winding rod from the winding rod.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, rolled confections are known and manufactured by baking dough such as wheat flour and wrapping the dough around a rolling stick.

This rolled confectionery is usually hand-rolled by immediately wrapping the baked dough around a cylindrical rolling stick, and in particular, the rolling stick usually has a circular cross section. Because they are difficult to wrap, rolled sweets generally sold on the market have a circular cross section.

In addition, typical rolled sweets are rolled rice crackers, etc. Traditionally, the ones offered on the market are made from wheat flour as the main ingredient, but recently, traditional rolled sweets have been replaced by wheat crackers. As a result, many Western-style rolled sweets have appeared on the market, and it is necessary to consider rolled sweets completely separately from conventional ones.

For example, most of the recent Western-style rolled sweets have wheat flour as their main ingredient, but instead are made by mixing starch, butter, honey, or other ingredients with flour as a binder.

For this reason, Western-style rolled sweets have a unique flavor and are soft, but they are extremely easy to break and require special manufacturing techniques.

Further, conventional rolled confectionery manufacturing equipment is not suitable for producing Western-style rolled confections, and as rolled confections become more sophisticated, mass production becomes impossible and manual work is increasingly required.

From this point, the present inventor previously arranged a pair of press rollers 2 in parallel on top of two support plates 1 that support the rolled confectionery dough, and moved these rollers close to each other. Alternatively, an eccentric rotating roller 3 is arranged so as to be in contact with the upper part of these presser rollers 2, and a winding roller 4 is provided below the support plate 1 in correspondence with the eccentric rotating roller 3. It is.

That is, in the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the dough 5 is conveyed from the supply side of the rolled confectionery dough onto one of the support plates 1 in the direction of arrow A, and the dough 5 is conveyed by the rollers 2, 3, 4.
It rides on the upper surface of the winding rod 6 in between. In this state, the pair of parallel rollers 2 and 2 and the eccentric roller 3 are raised and lowered together with the pair of support plates 1, and during the descent of the pair of parallel rollers 2 and 2, the pair of parallel rollers 2 and 2 are pushed apart, and the parallel rollers Between 2 and 2, the dough 1 is put on the winding rod 6, and the dough 1 is wound around the winding rod 6 without any force, and the rolled confectionery is manufactured. Even if it is a shape, it can be wrapped easily.

The winding device with this configuration is extremely compact because it is made up of a combination of rollers, and can wrap the dough regardless of the shape of the winding rod, and can also wrap the dough immediately after baking. It is extremely effective.

However, even with such an excellent winding device,
There is a problem in removing the rolled confectionery after the dough is wrapped around the winding rod, and it is desired to develop an automatic removal device.

This is because confectionery dough is changing from one containing wheat flour as its main ingredient to one containing large amounts of starch, butter, etc., and it is not desirable for the dough to come into contact with the rolled confectionery during removal.

The present invention was established in line with the above points, and
In particular, the purpose is to propose a rolled confectionery manufacturing device that can automatically remove rolled confectionery wrapped in the longitudinal direction of a rolling rod, and that can perform this removal without applying almost any external force to the rolled confectionery. shall be.

That is, in the present invention, the winding rod is wound around at least one winding rod, both ends of the winding rod are held and conveyed on parallel endless orbits, and one end of the winding rod is rotatably attached to one of the endless orbits. At the same time, the other end of the winding bar is held on the other endless track, and furthermore, at the folded parts of both endless tracks, there is a sliding member having an intervening piece interposed between each of the rolled confections on the winding bar. The member is slidably provided along a guide rod, and the guide rod is inclined so as to approach one endless track and move away from the other endless track.

Further, the present invention provides a first magnetic body attached to one end of the winding rod, and a second magnetic body is provided at the folded portion of both endless orbits so as to correspond to the magnetized body, The present invention is characterized in that the winding rod is configured to be maintained at a proper position.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In addition, FIG. 2 is a side view of a part of the roll/confectionery manufacturing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof.

First, in FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numerals 10 and 11
respectively indicate endless trajectories, and these endless trajectories 10,
11, one end 6a of the winding rod 6 is rotatably attached to the track 10, for example, and the other end 6b of the winding rod 6 is removably mounted on the other endless track, for example the track 11.

In this case, the winding rod 6 has a pair of endless tracks 10, 11.
A plurality of rolled confectioneries 12 are wound around the tip of the rolling stick 6 by, for example, a device shown in FIG.
moves in the direction of arrow B.

Note that when the other end 6b of the winding rod is removably placed as described above, it can be placed in any manner, but usually it is placed in the fourth
As shown in the figure, a locking piece 13 is provided protruding from the inside of the other track 11. It is sufficient to place the other end 6a of the winding rod 6 in the locking groove 13a of the locking piece 13.

Next, in the pair of endless tracks 10 and 11 having the above configuration, a sliding member 14 is disposed at the rear end, that is, at the folded portion.

At least one intervening piece 15 is provided protruding from the surface of the sliding member 14 along its longitudinal direction at a required interval, that is, at least at an interval corresponding to the length of the rolled confectionery 12.

Still, the sliding member 14 is usually composed of a cylindrical member, and a guide rod 16 is inserted in the longitudinal direction of the sliding member 14, and the sliding member 14 is slid along the guide rod 16 in the direction of arrow C-C in FIG. Configure to be flexible.

Next, as described above, the sliding member 14 is configured to be slidable on the guide rod 16, and as shown in FIG. In this case, the sliding member 14 is brought close to one end 6 a % of the winding rod 6, that is, the pivot portion side, and the sliding member 14 is spaced apart from the other end 6b, that is, the mounting side of the winding rod 6.

When the sliding member 14 is arranged in an inclined manner at the folded portions of the pair of endless tracks 10 and 11, the rolled confectionery 12 can be moved by simply sliding the sliding member 14 in the C-C direction.
can be removed automatically and smoothly.

In other words, a plurality of rolled confections 12 are wound on the winding rod 6 on the pair of endless tracks 10 and 11, and then the winding rod 6 moves in the direction of arrow A and reaches the folded part. leading to.

In this case, one end 6a of the winding rod 6 is rotatably supported, but the other end 6b is only placed on the locking piece 13. acts, the winding rod 6 is centered around one end 6a and the other end 6
b rotates in the direction of arrow D.

When the winding rod 6 rotates in this way, as shown in FIG.
A sliding member 14 is provided between adjacent rolled confectioneries 12 on the winding rod 6.
The upper insert piece 15 is engaged.

Unfortunately, in the state shown in FIG. 5, the sliding member 1
4 slides along the guide rod 16 in the direction of arrow C-C,
Each rolled confectionery 12 is pushed by the intervening piece 14 and removed from the other end 6b of the winding rod 6.

After removing the rolled confectionery 12, the winding rod 6 is returned to its original position and the other end 6b is placed on the locking piece 13. In this state, the winding rod 6 reaches the tip again and the dough is wound thereon.

Note that when the sliding member 14 is made to slide along the guide rod 16 as described above, it can be made to slide by any mechanism, but usually a spring is used between the guide rod 16 and the sliding member 14. It is sufficient to interpose a suppressing means such as the like and to make the sliding member 14 slide by the pressing force of the spring.

Also, one end 6 of the winding rod 6 at the turning part of the endless track.
