Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a depositor, which is a machine that squeezes confectionery material called dough, which is made by kneading various raw materials, from a mouthpiece in order to produce, for example, kutsky or biscuits.

In conventional depositors, the dough squeezed from the nozzle is received by a receiving member such as a top plate, and then cut immediately below the nozzle using a cutting member made of piano wire, for example. Therefore, after cutting, the product is deformed into a bun shape with the center being high and the circumference being low, and the shape differs from the squeezed shape, making it impossible to obtain a product with an almost uniform cross-sectional shape or a product with a clean surface. It was something.

This invention solves these problems and provides a depositor that can be cut in the shape of the squeezed dough to produce products with a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape and products with a clean surface.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In one embodiment of the invention shown in the figure, 10 is the main body of the depositor, and 11 is a hopper for storing dough 90, which is kneaded confectionery material, for example, attached via support members 12 arranged on both sides of the main body. be.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a pair of push rolls having a large number of concavities and convexities formed around the periphery, which rotate in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1, and are configured to send out the fabric 90 downward.

Reference numeral 15 designates an appropriate number of nozzles, for example four, arranged in a row in the horizontal direction for discharging the dough 90 downward.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a cloth belt conveyor, which has an endless belt 17 made of cloth, such as cotton, that moves forward in the direction of the arrow at a substantially constant speed while supporting the cloth 90 discharged from the nozzle 15.

Generally, the fabric 90 is difficult to stick to belts made of cloth, and belts made of cotton are particularly suitable.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a shaft driven from a power source (not shown) via a chain 20, and 21 is a roll fitted and fixed to the outside of this shaft, for example, with knurling I cut on its surface.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a mounting frame in which the shaft 18 rotatably passes through one end of the tongue buckles 24 on both sides, and a tapered part 25 with a thin, pointed cross-section is formed at the tip, and the belt 17 is mounted at the tip. There is no roll and it slides along this tapered part 25.

The fabric 90 received from the base 15 is supported on the bells 1 to 17 and advances continuously.

26 is a cutting device constructed as described below.

That is, 27 is a mounting rod fixed between the supporting members 12;
Reference numeral 8 denotes a pair of brackets fixed to each end of the mounting rod by tightening pressure pieces 30 with screws 31, 32 a pair of rods extending forward from each bracket 28, and 33 near the tip of each rod. A mounting plate 35 is fixed near both ends, and a pair of guide plates 35 are fixed to the mounting plate and extend in the vertical direction and have a guide groove 36 formed from the upper end, and 37 is an elevating frame.

Reference numeral 38 denotes a cutting member made of piano wire having a diameter of, for example, 0.3 to Q, 4 nm, which is attached at both ends to both ends of the elevating frame with screws 40.

41 is an upright part provided on both sides of the lifting frame 37, and each guide groove 3
A pin 42 guided along 6 is protruding.

43 is a roller attached to each guide plate 35 to guide the rear side of each upright portion 41; 45 is attached to the lower end of a leaf spring 46 fixed to the mounting plate 33 on the front side of the upright portion 41; This is Koro who will guide you.

Reference numeral 47 denotes two rotary solenoids fixed to the mounting plate 33, which, when energized, rotate the crank 48 in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

Reference numeral 50 designates a housing portion that houses a spiral leaf spring (not shown) that returns the crank 48 when the rotary solenoid is deenergized.

The crank 48 is provided with a protrusion 52 that passes through a laterally extending hole 53 formed in the lifting frame 37.

Therefore, when the rotary solenoid 47 is energized and then de-energized, the elevating frame 37 is lowered and the cloth belt conveyor 1 is lowered.
Dough 90 extending on this conveyor near the tip of 6
After cutting by the cutting member 38, it rises again.

A solenoid 55 is fixed to the mounting plate 33 between the rotary solenoids 47, and when energized, it pulls the rod 56 in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

As shown in the figure, a threaded rod 58 is connected to the rod 56 by a pin 57 so as to be rotatable about the pin.

This threaded rod passes through the lifting frame 37, and two nuts 60 are screwed into each end of the rod.

The solenoid 55 is energized at the same time as the cutting member 38 cuts the fabric 90, so that the lifting frame 37
When the lifting frame 37 rises, the lifting frame 37 is slightly pulled against the elasticity of the leaf spring 46, and the cutting member 38 rises while moving in the moving direction of the belt 17.

Therefore, even if the fabric 90 on the belt 17 is continuously moving together with the belt, when the cutting member 38 rises, it passes through the fabric 90 and almost cuts the fabric 90 without damaging the shape of the tip side end surface. It is designed to rise along the curved part.

When the elevating frame 37 rises, the solenoid 55 is deenergized and the elasticity of the leaf spring 46 causes the rollers 45 to return the elevating frame 37 to its initial position.

If the cutting member 38 is damaged, the cutting member 38 can be replaced by loosening the screw 31 and rotating the cutting device 26 around the mounting rod 27 as shown by the chain line in FIG.

Reference numeral 62 denotes a delivery conveyor, which is located slightly below the cloth belt conveyor 16 and is driven at almost the same speed and in the same direction.

Reference numeral 63 denotes a top plate made of steel, that is, a receiving member placed on the delivery conveyor 62, and is adapted to receive and move the fabric 90 sent from the tip of the fabric belt conveyor 16.

The cutting member 38 is adapted to cut the fabric 90 with the leading end portion supported by the receiving member 63.

The delivery conveyor 62 is instantaneously driven faster than the fabric belt conveyor 16 as soon as the cutting of the fabric 90 is completed.

For example, a one-way clutch may be provided on a shaft to which a drive roller (not shown) is attached, and by rotating this one-way clutch with a lever operated by a solenoid, etc., it is possible to instantaneously drive the motor at high speed.

Thus, a gap will be created between the cut fabric product 91 supported on the receiving member 63 and the fabric 90 supported on the fabric belt conveyor 16.

Therefore, the fabric products 91 are placed on the receiving member 63 with appropriate spacing in the front-rear direction.

When a predetermined number of fabric products 91 are supported on the receiving member 63, the receiving member 63 is taken out from the delivery conveyor 62.As shown in FIG. 5, the fabric products 91 are arranged in an orderly manner and have a cross-sectional shape similar to It is designed to be baked in an oven (not shown).

When baking, the dough products 91 swell, but the space between them in the front and rear direction prevents them from sticking together.

As mentioned above, in this invention, the fabric 90 squeezed from the mouthpiece 15 moves forward while being supported by the fabric bell I/conveyor 16, and the cutting member 38 descends to cut the fabric 90 that has been squeezed out. The belt 17 of the Gatsu Cloth Bell I conveyor 16 is such that the fabric 90 does not stick to the belt 17, and this belt slides on the tapered part 25 of the mounting frame 23. Therefore, the dough product 91 can be received by the receiving member 63 without changing its shape, and a beautiful product that maintains the conventionally drawn shape can be obtained.

Note that in this invention, the cutting member 38 does not move upward in the same direction as the belt 17 after cutting the fabric 90 in some cases, but in the case where the cutting member 38 moves forward, the cutting member 38 cuts the fabric 90 near one end surface of the fabric product 91. A clean product can be obtained without damaging the shape of the product.

In some cases, the delivery conveyor 62 is configured so that it does not advance instantaneously quickly at the same time as the fabric 90 is cut; This has the advantage that the baked product does not stick together.

Note that this invention may be applied to a band oven that uses a conveyor 62 that has an endless steel band that also serves as a receiving member 63 that directly receives the dough product 91 and transfers it to the oven for baking. Of course, the cutting member 38 may be changed to a blade-like member.
