Abstract

PURPOSE:To mass produce sanitarily rice cakes wrapped in an oak leaf, etc. of the same quality and shape, by placing a dough on a folding apparatus with the center in agreement with that of the folding apparatus, feeding a wrapping material from an injection apparatus, and folding the wrapping material with the folding apparatus. CONSTITUTION:A dough 2 fed dividedly in a given amount onto a conveyor belt 1 is rolled into a flat elliptic sheet by a rolling apparatus 3, and the center of the sheet is then sensed by a pair of sensing apparatuses 4 and 5. A driving part of a transferring apparatus 6 is operated on the basis of the sensed value, and the dough 2 is transferred from the conveyor belt 1 onto a folding apparatus 8 to make the center in agreement with the center of the folding apparatus 8. Each folding apparatus 8 consists of two plate materials joined with hinges, and the plate materials are superposed to wrap a bean jam 2' in the dough 2 of the rice cake wrapped in an oak leaf. Sliding pieces 23 for pushing out the rice cake wrapped in the oak leaf are protruded and pulled back at a taking out part 20 provided at the end part of the transferring apparatus 6 to push out the rice cake wrapped in the oak leaf, which is then delivered to a delivery conveyor 25.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an automatic manufacturing device for kashiwamochi, etc.

Generally, Kashiwamochi is made by stretching mochi dough into an appropriate shape, filling it with filling such as red bean paste, and folding the mochi dough to wrap the bean paste.Then, it is wrapped in Kashiwa leaves. It is wrapped in cherry blossom leaves and becomes sakura mochi. The production is all done by hand, and it is difficult to produce high-quality kashiwamochi in large quantities and automatically, both economically and from the standpoint of food hygiene.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned nine conventional problems, and furthermore, by using a new manufacturing device,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing device that can continuously, automatically manufacture Kashiwamochi, etc. in large quantities.

The automatic manufacturing device for kashiwamochi, etc. of the present invention consists of a device that rolls the dough, which is divided into appropriate sizes and is supplied, into a flat oval shape, and a device that places the rolled dough and receives the bean paste from a pouring device. It consists of a folding device that folds the dough so as to wrap the bean paste, and a ninth take-out section that sends the finished kashiwa mochi to a delivery conveyor. The center of the dough is detected and transferred to the folding device in a controlled manner so that the center of the dough is placed correctly, and furthermore, the dough is automatically controlled so that it is placed correctly in the center of the dough. This is what has become.

With the device of the present invention, by simply supplying the dough and the bean paste, a large amount of long rice cakes, etc. of the same standard and quality can be produced.
Moreover, it can be manufactured hygienically and does not require any manual intervention during the manufacturing process.

The dough 2, which will be explained in detail below based on an example, is dividedly supplied in predetermined amounts onto a continuously conveying conveyor belt 1. rolled into The rolling device uses rollers provided above and on the sides of the conveyor belt 1 to form the dough into a correct oval shape. In the example, the dough 2 is shown as an unshaped piece divided into a predetermined amount and shaped into a multiplication table shape, but this was cut out from a strip of dough of a predetermined thickness and formed into an oval shape. By using dough, the work can be simplified in this forming process. The center of the dough 2, which has been formed into an elliptical shape by a rolling device, is detected by a pair of detection devices 4.5. First, the length of the mori fabric 2 is measured by the detection device 4, and then the detection device 5 detects the center of the fabric 2 based on the measured value. Then, based on the detected value, the drive unit of the conveying device 6 is operated, and when the fabric 2 is transferred from the conveyor belt 1 to the folding device 8, the center of the fabric 2 coincides with the center of the folding/folding device 8. The transport device is driven so that the paper is placed thereon.

In the next step, a predetermined amount of inner packaging material 2' such as bean paste is supplied from the pouring device 7 to the center of the dough 2 placed on the folding device 8.

The folding device 8 is attached to the chain of the conveying device 6 at a predetermined interval, and consists of two plates 9 and 9' connected by a hinge 12. The plates 9 and 9' are provided with semicircular recesses and holes so that when the hinge 12 is opened, a recess 10 and a hole 11 are formed around the joint surface of the hinge 12. It is fixed to a chain, and a plate member 9' is provided so as to be openable and closable via a hinge 12.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a flexible plate 9' is fixed to the upper surfaces of the plates 9 and 9', covering the semicircular holes and seams of the plates 9 and 9'. For example, if the fabric is particularly soft and has strong adhesive properties, plates 9 and 9'
Since the flexible plate 9'' fixed to the upper surface wraps the entire fabric when folded, the plates 9 and 9' will not sink into the semicircular hole more than necessary, and the plate 9
This has the effect of preventing exposure from the seam of 9' and 9'.

The hinge 12 is a plate member 14° 14' that swings via a shaft 13.
When the plate material 9.9' tube is attached to the plate material 9.9', and the plate material 9e''k is folded 9 times around the axis 15, it is sufficient to press and form the selvedge part of the Kashiwa mochi as shown in Fig. 3(B). The trap is designed to leave a certain distance.

A plate member 14' of the hinge 12 on the swinging plate 9' side is provided with a roller 16, and the roller 216 contacts the guide plate 18 and presses the plate 9' to adjust the amount of wrinkles. A row 216' provided on the arm 15 protruding above the hinge plate member on the other side of the reed plate 9' is connected to the guide plate 17.
The roller 16' is in contact with the guide plate 19 and overlaps the plate material 9 and the plate material 9', so that the thick dough 2 wraps the bean paste 2'.
It also has the effect of releasing ′ to its original position.

Continuing from the above-described molded part of the rice cake, a take-out part 20 is provided at the terminal end of the conveying device 6.

Here, a slider 25 is inserted into and out of the hole 11 of the folding device 8 from the back side to push the kashiwa mochi (7) out. Sliders 23 are provided radially at the same pitch as the folding device 8, and the sliders move in contact with the fixed cam 24, pushing out the folding mochi, separating it from the plate material 9 of the folding device, and transferring it to the carry-out conveyor 25. This is what I try to send out.

In contrast to the above-mentioned device, Kashiwamochi only feeds a predetermined amount of dough kneaded with flour, forms the dough into an oval shape, places it on the folding device with the center of the folding device aligned, and then fills it with red bean paste. The liquid is poured out from the pouring device and placed, and these operations are performed by an actuating device whose timing is adjusted according to the values detected by the detection devices 4 and 5.

Next, the plates 9 and 9' of the folding device are folded to form a wavy shape, which is then pressed to make a uniform amount, and then transferred from the transport device to the unloading conveyor. This series of operations is automatically carried out continuously. By doing so, it is possible to produce large quantities of hygienic, homogeneous, and shaped Kashiwamochi and Sakuramochi.
