Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a draining device for removing wash water adhering to a conveyor belt of a continuous confectionery baking device.

A continuous confectionery baking device basically has a structure in which confectionery dough is transferred to a baking furnace by an endless conveyor belt and baked.

Since some of the confectionery dough or dirt such as cream adheres to the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt is cleaned with a rotating brush or the like at the rear of the baking furnace.

However, if cleaning water adheres to the surface of the conveyor belt, when confectionery dough is placed on the conveyor belt, the confectionery dough will absorb water and the shape of the confectionery will collapse. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to apply.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a draining device for removing wash water adhering to the conveyor belt of the continuous confectionery baking apparatus, in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the continuous confectionery baking apparatus.

This invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the basic structure of a continuous confectionery baking device. It has a structure that includes a dough supply device 4 and a baking furnace 5, and a cleaning device 6 that is removed from a rotating brush or the like on the underside of the conveyor belt 3 behind the baking furnace 5.

The draining device 7 according to this invention is installed between the washing device 6 and the confectionery dough supplying device 4.

The draining device 7 is configured such that the draining roller 8 rotates in a direction opposite to the traveling direction of the conveyor belt 3 while contacting the surface of the conveyor belt 3 to remove water droplets attached to the conveyor belt 3.

The above-mentioned draining roller 8 is rotatably supported by a frame 9 where the rubber roller is attached, and meshes with a gear 10 provided at an end of a rotating shaft 10 of the draining roller 8 and a gear 12 provided on a drive shaft of a motor 11. They rotate by aligning them.

The rubber roller is attached to the frame 9 with a draining plate 13 in contact with the surface of the draining roller 8 so as to scrape off water droplets adhering to the draining roller 8.

To attach the rubber roller, an adjusting threaded rod 14 is formed on the bottom surface of the frame 9, and with this adjustment threaded rod 14, the rubber roller can be attached to the main body frame 15 of the continuous confectionery baking apparatus so that the frame 9 can be raised and lowered. This allows the contact pressure between the draining roller 8 and the conveyor belt 3 to be changed.

The adjustment threaded rod 14 is threadedly inserted into the shaft of a worm wheel 16 supported by the main body frame 15.
The rotation of the worm wheel 16 causes it to move up and down.

The worm wheel 16 meshes with a worm gear 17, and a handle 18 is provided at the shaft end of the worm gear 17 to rotate the worm gear 17.

The elevating device consisting of the adjusting threaded rod 14, worm wheel 16 and worm gear 17 is provided at four locations on the lower surface of the rubber roller mounting frame 9, and is interlocked by a pair of sprockets 19, 20 and a chain 21.

The main body frame 15 is provided with a water tray 22 below the draining roller 8.

The draining roller 8 may include a rubber roller as shown in FIG. 2, or a pair of rubber rollers 23 and 24 as shown in FIG.
It may be of a type in which the rubber belt 25 is placed over the conveyor belt 25 and the rubber belt 25 is in contact with the conveyor belt 3.

This invention is as described above, so if you operate the handle to bring the draining roller into contact with the conveyor belt I with an appropriate pressure and rotate the draining roller in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt, the draining roller can be drained. Since the rollers can scrape off water droplets adhering to the conveyor belt, baking oil is more likely to adhere to the conveyor belt, and the confectionery dough retains its shape.
