Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a device for thinly rolling confectionery materials, which allows a machine to fully automatically roll sheet-like confectionery materials, such as rice cracker materials, which are extremely sticky. In particular, a conveyor that feeds a thinly spread sheet-like confectionery material, a main roller facing the tip of the conveyor, and each of which is provided in a horizontal plane so that its axial direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the confectionery material enters; In this winding device, a confectionery material is thinly rolled by the rotational force of a subordinate roller mounted on the main roller, which together with the main roller and the subordinate roller form a concave portion, and cooperates with the rotational force of both rollers to thinly wind the confectionery material. The invention relates to a device characterized in that a fabric holding roller that can be freely avoided upwardly after being rolled into the recess is superimposed on the subordinate roller.

Conventionally, when forming thin rolls of extremely sticky sheet-like confectionery materials, it was necessary to rely entirely on manual labor, or even if it could be mechanized, the main part required a core shaft for thin winding. It is well known that extra man-hours are required to insert and remove the core shaft, which hinders work efficiency.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and in particular, to simplify the structure, it is possible to form an interlining material in place of a winding core shaft at the tip of a sheet-like confectionery material, and then thinly wind it. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new device for thinly rolling confectionery materials.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The present invention is broadly divided into a thin winding mechanism section 1 and a rolled product discharge conveyor 2.

The thin winding mechanism 1 faces the confectionery material supply conveyor 4 (with a knife edge formed at the tip) and the tip of the conveyor 4, and is arranged so that its axial direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the confectionery material 3 enters in a horizontal plane. A main roller 5, a follower roller 6,
Each of the dough holding rollers 7 is shaped in its lateral cross section so that concave portions and convex portions are alternately continuous as shown in the figure, and a non-adhesive material is applied to the surface thereof.

(Alternatively, it may be manufactured by molding a non-adhesive material.) The convex part of the follower roller 6 is superimposed on the concave part of the main roller 5, and the convex part of the dough pressing roller 7 is placed in the concave part of the slave roller 6. Each will be overlaid.

An appropriate space is maintained between the upper surface of the main roller 5 and the lower surface of the fabric holding roller 7, so that the slave roller 6 can be avoided in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure, and the fabric holding roller 7 can be avoided upward. Configure.

The speed relationship between the confectionery material supply conveyor 4 and each roller will be described later.

The avoidance operation of the follower roller 6 and the fabric holding roller 7 is performed by fixing the time to form the interlining at the initial stage of winding and the time to the end of thin winding in advance using a time-electrical conversion system. A synchronized electric signal is generated to control the air cylinders 8 and 9 to avoid the confectionery material 3 and return to the original position in time for the next confectionery material 3 to be rolled in.

The rolled product discharge conveyor 2 is arranged with its rear end facing below the main roller 5.

According to the above-mentioned configuration, the extremely sticky sheet-like confectionery material 3 that is intermittently supplied is placed on the main roller 5 from the tip of the confectionery material supply conveyor 4 in the thin winding mechanism section 1, and rotates together while remaining attached. However, the main roller-5
As shown in the figure, since the concave and convex portions of both rollers overlap each other, they are separated from the main roller 5 by the peripheral surface of the follower roller 6, and transferred to the follower roller 6 and rotate together while remaining attached. try to.

However, here too, the follower roller 6 and the fabric holding roller 7
Since the concave and convex portions overlap each other, the dough is peeled off from the subordinate roller 6 by the circumferential surface of the dough holding roller 7, and the tip of the confectionery material 3 is wound by the rotational force of each roller, but at this time, the dough holding roller 7 If the space between the roller 7 and the main roller 5 is kept narrow, the head of the confectionery material 3 is suppressed and the confectionery material 3 is rolled up into a small size to form an interlining material that replaces the core shaft.

In this way, the dough pressing roller 7 is used to turn the tip of the confectionery material 3 into a core instead of the winding core.

After forming the interlining, the dough holding roller 7 is avoided upward, and the rotational force of the main roller 5 and the subordinate roller 6 completes the thin winding to a predetermined diameter corresponding to the length of the sheet-like confectionery material. be done.

After completing the thin winding, the subordinate roller 6 is avoided in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, and the confectionery material is lowered onto the rolled product discharge conveyor 2 below the main roller 5, and the dough holding roller 7 and the subordinate roller 6 Return to the original position and prepare for the next confectionery material 3.

Here, regarding the speed relationship between the confectionery material supply conveyor 4 and each roller, the outer peripheral speed of the confectionery material supply conveyor 4 is .

, when the outer peripheral speed of the main roller 5 is vl, the outer peripheral speed of the slave roller 6 is V2, and the outer peripheral speed of the dough holding roller 7 is 3, then the confectionery material supply conveyor 4, the main roller 5, and the dough holding roller 7. ■The outer peripheral speed relationship between.

If = V1 = V3, I-pulling with the outer circumferential speed relationship between the main roller 5 and the slave roller 6 as V 2 > Vi makes it possible to tighten the thin winding, and ■2 ■
When set to 1, it becomes possible to have a gentle winding condition.

Therefore, the degree of thin winding can be adjusted arbitrarily depending on the relationship between the outer peripheral speeds of the main roller 5 and the subordinate roller 6, and according to the inventor's research, the thin winding can be rolled to a thickness of about 1 m/m. It is possible to roll up even a thin sticky sheet (rice cracker material) without any problems.

As is clear from the above explanation, although the mechanism of the present invention is simple, it is possible to completely machine thinly roll confectionery materials such as sticky rice cracker materials, which previously had to be done by hand. Since it can be carried out efficiently, it has both the effect of sanitary control and the effect of being suitable for mass production, and it is clear that it can significantly contribute to stabilizing quality and streamlining the process.
