Description

Detailed Description of the Invention This invention provides an inversion-type confectionery in which confectionery ingredients are placed in a baking mold, heated by a burner while the baking mold is conveyed by a chain conveyor, and the confectionery ingredients are inverted midway through to bake both sides of the confectionery material well. Regarding baking machines.

Sweets such as Watsuful are placed in a baking mold and baked on one side first.
The confectionery dough is manufactured by flipping it halfway through and baking the other side of the dough.

However, when mass producing such confections, it is not possible to manually turn over the confectionery ingredients in the baking molds, so conventionally a chain conveyor with a large number of baking molds connected and a heating burner installed below has been used. A type of confectionery baking machine is used in which an infrared burner for surface baking is installed above the rear half of the confectionery baking machine, and the infrared burner burns the surface of the confectionery material transferred from above into a baking mold on a chain conveyor. However, this type of confectionery baking machine uses an infrared burner to bake only the surface of the confectionery ingredients without inverting them, so the so-called "main passage" is poor, and the fire does not penetrate inside the confectionery ingredients, and the baked confectionery does not last long. There was a problem that the confectionery would deteriorate over time, making it impossible to produce a fluffy confectionery with a voluminous feel.

In addition, when confectionery ingredients are heated from two sides by an infrared burner, the other side is baked and the top surface is unevenly swollen and uneven, resulting in extremely uneven baking on the top surface. .

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.It is a reversible confectionery type that allows confectionery ingredients to cook well, both sides of the confectionery can be baked neatly, and a large amount of confectionery can be baked efficiently and continuously. The purpose is to provide a baking machine.

To this end, the present invention includes a first chain conveyor connecting a large number of baking molds, and a baking plate located below the first chain conveyor to receive the confectionery material falling from the baking molds of the first chain conveyor in an inverted position. The confectionery material is released from the baking molds of the second chain conveyor provided and the first chain conveyor in an inverted position.
The device is equipped with a reversing and unloading device for transferring in an inverted state on a chain conveyor, and heating burners are disposed within the first and second chain conveyors.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

The figure shows a front configuration view of the reversible confectionery baking machine, where l is a first chain conveyor laid horizontally on the top of the baking machine main body 3. A large number of baking molds 2 are connected between the chains on both sides of the first chain conveyor, confectionery materials are put into the four parts formed in the baking molds 2, and baked while conveying the confectionery materials. Also, baking mold 2
A plurality of pores are bored in the recess, and an air blower 8 described later is provided.
The baked confectionery material is released from the mold by blowing air from the back side of the baking mold 2 when the first chain conveyor 1 is in an inverted position at the lower stage, and is transferred to the second chain conveyor 4 installed below.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a material feeder for supplying confectionery materials to the baking mold 2 in a fixed quantity, and is disposed on the baking machine main body 3 on the right side of the first chain conveyor 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes an oil applicator disposed on the right side of the material feeder 5, which applies oil to the recessed portions of the baking molds 2 of the first chain conveyor l. 7 is a scrap remover attached to the baking machine main body 3 on the right side of the lower stage of the first chain conveyor, and it brushes from below the baking mold after the confectionery material has been released, which has moved in an inverted position, and removes the concave parts of the baking mold. Remove material debris that has adhered to the surface.

Air blower 8 used as a reversing device for confectionery materials
A fluid pressure cylinder 8 is disposed opposite the back surface of the baking mold 2 in an inverted position at the lower stage of the first chain conveyor l, and moves up and down a cover portion 8a connected to a compressed air source via a hose.
It is connected to the piston rod of b. 1Oa is a burner that is disposed in the first chain conveyor 1 and heats the baking mold 2 that moves on the upper stage of the first chain conveyor 1 to bake the confectionery material.

A second chain conveyor 4 arranged at the bottom of the baking machine main body 3
is formed by connecting a large number of flat baking plates 9 between both chains in order to bake the surface of the confectionery material, and is placed below and parallel to the first chain conveyor l, and is connected to an air blower 8. The confectionery material in baking mold 2 is placed directly below this second
It is dropped onto the chain conveyor 4 and transferred. 10b is a surface baking burner disposed in the second chain conveyor 4;
Reference numeral 1 denotes a chute disposed below the tip of the second chain conveyor 4, which receives the confectionery material completely baked by the burner 10b and sends it to the next cooling process. The first chain conveyor 1 and the second chain conveyor 4 are operated intermittently so as to stop for a certain period of time when each baking mold 2 or baking plate 9 reaches the fixed position of the material feeder 5, air blower 8, etc. Driven.

Next, the operation of the reversible confectionery baking machine will be explained.

While the first chain conveyor 1 and the second chain conveyor 4 are being operated intermittently, the oil on the right end of the first chain conveyor 5 has reached the position of the container 6, and the baking mold 2 is oiled by the container 6. Oil is applied within the recess. When the baking mold 2 reaches the next material supply position, a fluid confectionery material mixed with flour, sugar, eggs, etc. is supplied from the material supply device 5 to the four parts of the baking mold 2, and it remains in this state. The confectionery material 12 on the baking mold 2 is heated by the burner 10a, and most of it is baked while moving on the upper stage of the first chain conveyor l. Next, when the confectionery material 12 on the baking mold 2 moves from the tip of the first chain conveyor l to the lower stage and reaches directly below the air blower 8 in an inverted position, the fluid pressure cylinder 8 of the air blower 8
b pushes out the piston rod, presses the cover part 8a against the back surface of the baking mold 2 below, and blows compressed air into it. Then, compressed air acts on the confectionery material 12 through the pores of the concave portion of the baking mold 2, releases it from the mold, and blows it down onto the second chain conveyor 4''. As a result, confectionery material 1
2 is inverted and correctly placed on the baking plate 9 of the second chain conveyor 4 without disturbing the arrangement, and while the second chain conveyor 4 is operating and moving on the upper stage, the confectionery is heated by the burner 10b. The surface of the material 12 is well baked. In addition, since both sides of the confectionery material 12 are sufficiently baked by heating from below, the core of the confectionery material 12 is well-cooked, and sponge cake-like confectionery can be baked well without becoming stale. And the baked confectionery material 12
is sent from the second chain conveyor 4 to the next cooling process etc. via the shoe 11.

In the above embodiment, an air blower was used as the reversing and ejecting device, but it is also possible to use a scraping device that inserts a scraping rod into the baking mold to drop the confectionery.

As explained hereafter, according to the reversal type confectionery baking machine of the present invention, the confectionery material baked while being conveyed by the first chain conveyor is transferred to the reversal take-out device on the second chain conveyor disposed directly below the confectionery material. Since the confectionery materials are released and dropped using the molds, the inverted confectionery materials are placed on the second chain conveyor in a correctly aligned state, making it easier to handle them in the next process. moreover,
Since the confectionery ingredients are baked again by heating from below while being conveyed by the second chain conveyor, there is no uneven baking on the top surface compared to a baking machine that heats from above with an infrared burner, and the fire passes through to the core of the confectionery ingredients. You can bake fluffy sweets that have a voluminous feel and do not sag. In addition, the baking process can be completely automated, eliminating the need for manual labor and allowing confectionery to be manufactured hygienically and efficiently.
