Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a skewer rotation and movement device in an automatic basting skewer machine.

Conventionally, in automatic sauce skewering machines, skewers with meat or vegetables (hereinafter referred to as skewers) are clamped to the clips of a moving device such as a chain, and the skewers are suspended vertically and moved inside the skewer machine. The skewers were immersed in a sauce tank, and after being pulled out of the sauce tank, both sides of the skewers were grilled, and the grilled skewers were removed from the clips by hand.

In the conventional mechanism described above, the skewers move without rotating and the meat is grilled from both sides, making it difficult to cook the meat evenly.Also, when the skewers are moved or grilled, the meat or vegetables inserted on the skewers may fall off. This method has disadvantages in that it is easy to use, and that the baked skewers must be manually removed from the device.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by holding the skewers horizontally, moving them, and rotating them for dipping and baking.The baked skewers are automatically removed from the device. An object of the present invention is to provide a rotating and moving device for skewers in an automatic skewering machine.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

An endless chain 1 moves horizontally in the direction shown by arrow a inside the skewer machine, and chuck brackets 2f are fixed perpendicularly to the chain 1 at regular pitches.

A chuck holder 3 is rotatably provided on the upper part of the chuck bracket 2 by a bearing 4 in a direction perpendicular to the bracket 2.

A guide roller 5 is provided at the bottom of the chuck bracket 2.
is rotatably provided and moves on a rail 6 laid inside the skewer machine.

A pin wheel 7 is substantially integrally fixed to one end of the chuck holder 3, and a funnel-shaped insertion opening 8 is formed at the center thereof.

A skewer 9 (hereinafter referred to as a skewer) with meat, vegetables, etc. pierced is inserted into the insertion opening 8 and held horizontally.

Further, near the periphery of the pin wheel 7, a plurality of pins 10 are fixed at equal intervals.

A pin rack 11 is fixed in parallel to the chain 1 inside the skewer machine.

Pins 12 are fixed to the bin rack 11 at equal intervals in the direction of the pin wheel 7, and the pins 10 of the pin wheel 7 and the pins 12 of the bin rack 11 are maintained in an engaged relationship with each other.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when the endless chain 1 moves in the direction of the arrow a, the chain bracket 2 fixed to the chain 1 rolls the guide roller 5 onto the rail 6 and chains the chain. Move with 1.

As a result of this movement, the chuck holder 3, which is horizontally attached to the chain bracket 2 with a bearing 4, causes the pin 10 of the pin wheel 7 fixed at one end to move to the immovable pin rack 11 provided parallel to the chain 1. It engages with the fixed pin 12 and rotates the pin wheel 7 in the direction of the arrow.

Since the pins 12 are provided at equal intervals on the pin rack 11, as the chain 1 moves, the chuck holder 3
moves while rotating.

Since the chuck holder 3 holds a skewer 9 with meat, vegetables, etc. pierced horizontally, the skewer 9 rotates downward from the upper position of the skewer 9 using a radiant burner (not shown) or the like to heat the skewer 9 and bake it. After that, it passes through a shower of sauce (not shown) while rotating in the same manner as above, is allowed to drip, and is baked with a radiant burner while rotating again.

A slide shaft 13 is provided at the end of the chuck holder 3 opposite to the pin wheel 7 so as to be able to slide freely along the shaft hole. The tip of the slide shaft 13 of No. 3 is
It moves while abutting against an immovable abutting plate 14 that is provided at an angle with respect to the traveling direction of the chain 1, and is pushed in as shown by the two-dot chain line and arrow C in the drawing.

By pushing the slide shaft 13 into the chuck holder 3, the skewer 9 is automatically removed from the chuck holder 3.

As described above, by using the skewer rotation and movement device of the present invention, the skewers are held horizontally and moved, so the skewered meat, vegetables, etc. do not fall onto the mirror. By using the rotation of the skewer, you can grill the food from the top of the skewer downwards using a radiant burner, etc.
There is no chance of meat juices dripping onto the burner during grilling and causing smoke.

Also, since the skewers are rotated during grilling, there will be no uneven cooking.

Furthermore, the skewers are automatically removed from the chuck holder after they are finished baking, so there is no need to manually remove them one by one as in the past.
