It is traditionally made on ''Children's Day'')-making machine, a couple of rotors equipped with leaf-wrapping plates which have their supported points on the periphery of the rotors and can freely rotate according to the guide plates are set oppositely to rotate inward each other and the rotation of the rotors is synchronized with the rotation of the wrapping plates to avoid sticking of the rice cake to the machine. CONSTITUTION:The pasta piece to wrap the bean jam 9 is sent with conveyor belt 8 and put astride on both wrapping plates 4, 4' in the horizontal state and the bean jam 14 is fed from the injector 13 on the center of the pasta. Then, the wrapping plates revolve synchronously with the rotation of the rotors 2, 2' to fold the pasta 9. When the rotors 2, 2' rotate 90 deg. around their centers, the rice cake stuffed with bean jam is formed, susequently, the following couple of wrapping plates 4, 4' come to the position where the pasta and bean jam are fed in the horizontal state. The formed KASHIWAMOCHI 16 goes down as held with plates 4, 4' and released onto the conveyor belt 15. Thus, automated making of KASHIWAMOCHI is ensured.

Description

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

In general, the work of wrapping the filling materials such as red bean paste with dough in the production of Kashiwamochi is difficult to mechanize, so it is all done by hand, and there is still room for improvement from an economical and food hygiene perspective. was there.

Conventionally, the key point that was difficult to mechanize was that when the flat dough with the filling placed on it was folded in half, the two ends were brought together, and the dough was wrapped in the filling, a device was needed that used the pressure of the wrapping to guide the entire wrapping of the dough. This was due to the fact that it was sticky and could not be removed.

In order to solve these problems, in the present invention, a pair of rotating bodies are provided facing each other and have enveloping plates that are set on a fulcrum on the circumference and are rotatable by the guidance of a guide plate. By rotating the wrapping plate in synchronization with the rotation of the rotating body and the guidance of the guide plate, the entire joining operation of the fabric pieces is performed, and the subsequent release is performed from the fulcrum of the bifold p by the rotation of the rotating body, thereby solving the above-mentioned drawbacks. This made it possible to avoid sticking to certain equipment, and enabled automatic production of Kashiwamochi.

Below (to explain the present invention based on the embodiment shown in the drawings), a pair of rotating bodies 2 and 2' having a rotation axis 1+"k are provided facing each other, and on the circumference of the rotating bodies 2 and 2', respectively. One end of the enveloping plywood 4, 4' is fixed to the fulcrum 3.3'i which is loosely fitted.

Rollers 5, 5' are fixed to one end of the packaging plate 4, 4', and rollers 5, 5' are fixed to the outer peripheral surfaces of guide plates 6, 6' provided close to the rotating bodies 2, 2'. As one method, a spring 7, 7' is stretched between the cover plates 4, 4' and the rotating bodies 2, 2' so that the rollers 5' are in close contact with each other.

The above rotating shafts 1, 1', rotating bodies 2, 2', fulcrums 3, 5'
, inclusion plates 4, 4', rollers 5, 5', guide plates 6, 6'
, springs 7,7' form a scissor folding device 12.

8 is a conveyor belt for transporting the fabric pieces 9, and above it is provided a detection device 10.11. Below the conveyor belt 8, there is the aforementioned scissor folding device 12. After the dough piece 9 is placed on the scissor folding device 12, the filling device 16 controls the inclusion control 4 of the filling etc. onto the dough piece 9. , the scissor folding device 12 folds the inner wrapping material 1 with the fabric piece 9.
'4, and then the product 16 is dropped onto the carrying-out device 15 located below the scissors-folding device 12 and placed thereon.

17 indicates the folding central part of the scissor folding device 12;
Reference numeral 18 indicates four circular parts at the center of the packaging plates 4, 4'.

Next, to explain the operation and effect of the present invention, the dough piece 9 is dividedly fed into flat plates on the conveyor belt 8 that is continuously transported, and while being transported, the pair of detection devices 10
．． First, the detection device 10 measures the length of the fabric piece 9, and then, based on the measured value, the detection device 11 detects the center of the fabric piece 9. Then, based on the detected value, the drive unit of the scissors folding device 12 is operated, and when the dough piece 9 is transferred from the conveyor belt 8 to the scissors folding device 12, the center of the dough piece 9 is aligned with the scissors folding device 1.
The scissor folding device 12 is driven so that it is placed in alignment with the center of the paper.

After a predetermined amount of inner wrapping material 14 such as bean paste is supplied from the pouring device 15 to the center of the dough piece 9 placed on the scissor folding placement 12 as shown in FIG. 5, the wrapping plate 4.4' Rotating body 2, 2
′ and the guidance of the guide plate A, the opposing enclosing plates 4 and 4 rotate in synchronism as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8.
The central part 17 of the folding device 12 where the 's are in contact with each other, that is, the position corresponding to the fulcrum for folding the dough in two, rotates 90 degrees while descending, and folds the dough piece 9 so as to wrap the inner wrapping material 14. Scissor fold! Do lll. This is the fabric piece 9 from the central part 17 of the scissor folding device 12 where the wrapping plates 4, 4' are in contact with each other.
can be sandwiched symmetrically, preventing the mating surfaces from shifting.

The wrapping plates 4, 4' have a semicircular recess formed in the center of the central portion 17 to form a circular recess 18, so that when folding with scissors, the fabric piece 9 is folded into the inner wrapping material 14. In order to wrap the bag, the fabric piece 9 sinks appropriately in the center, and the position of the inner wrapping material 14 is stable and effective. Furthermore, when scissor-folding is performed, a sufficient gap is left for pressing and shaping the edges of the curly rice cake, as shown in FIG.

The scissoring operation of the scissor folding device 12 is shown in one stroke in FIGS. 3 to 8, and in FIGS. In FIGS. 6 to 8, the scissor folding device 12 is moved backward while the rotating bodies 2, 2' are
Rotate once to form kashiwa mochi.

The method of placing the dough pieces 9 on the packaging plates 4, 4' is shown in such a way that the scissors folding device 12 moves forward and backward with respect to the conveyor belt 8 to form a wavy dough. , it is not necessary, for example, scissor folding device 12
'f: Instead of moving forward and backward, the tip of the conveyor belt 8 is slid back and forth, and the dough piece 9 is placed on the wrapping plate 4.4' of the scissor folding device 12 that does not move forward or backward. , can fully fulfill its role. Encasing plywood 4,
After the filling material 14 such as bean paste is supplied from the pouring device 16 to the dough piece 9 placed on the dough piece 4', the covering plate 4. .

The formed kashiwa mochi is then released from the scissor folding device, and the timing of release occurs during the forming process of the next supplied dough. That is, after the wrapping plates 4 and 4' are rotated 90 degrees and the kashiwa mochi is formed, the dough piece 9' supplied in the next process is transferred to the next wrapping plate 4'' 4 /
// is rotated by 9Q degrees to form a wavy rice cake, and at the same time, the wavy rice cake sandwiched between the wrapping plates 4 and 4' is rotated and formed as shown in product 16 in Fig. 6. released in a similar condition.

Comparing and explaining the state of release at this time with conventional devices, such a state of release of the present invention is a movement in which the enveloping plate moves away from the place where it hits the dorsal shell of the Kashiwamochi. Even if the fabric may stick to the cover plates 4, 4' to some extent, there is no chance of the seams opening again. In other words, the conventional method uses two wrapping plates connected by a hinge to wrap the two pieces, and the fabric is sandwiched between them to wrap them. There is a movement that seems to reopen the seams.

In addition, the pressure used to adhesively wrap the Kashiwamochi also causes it to stick to the wrapping board, so the force of the bakashi inevitably causes the joints of the Kashiwamochi to be peeled off and shredded. It was.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically manufacture kashiwamochi and the like very accurately.
