Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an automatic baking machine for confectionery such as castella cakes, which can have a long cooling zone even when installed in a relatively small area, and can be used when baking confectionery etc. This invention relates to an automatic baking machine for confectionery such as castella cakes, which can easily roll up paper strips without damaging them in any way.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various baked goods have been known for a long time, and one of the most popular ones is sponge cakes such as castella and dorayaki.

Sponge cakes such as castella and dorayaki are one of the most popular types of confectionery, and are usually made by applying a lubricant such as oil on a grilling plate such as an iron plate, and then dissolving flour, etc. in water. Among these, Dorayaki is made of these doughs, that is,
It is manufactured by sandwiching the filling, such as bean paste, between the so-called skins.

However, when manufacturing sponge cakes such as castella cakes, it is difficult to mass-produce them because they are originally done by hand, and the surface of the cake is often soaked with oil in some form. It is said that the skill of a craftsman is to use as little oil as possible during baking, as this will damage the flavor of the dough itself.

For this reason, the present inventor previously proposed and implemented an automatic baking machine for castella cakes and the like.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this automatic baking machine has 1
2 and 3 are rotating wheels provided at the front and rear of the frame 1, on which a grilling board 3a is hung endlessly, and on the other hand, for example, a transmission device 4 is provided on the rotating wheel 3 to rotate the required rotation. An endless grilling plate 3a attached to the ring 3 is configured to move at an appropriate speed in the direction of the arrow.

In this device, a slurry-like mixture of raw materials for baking confectionery is supplied from a supply device 5, and this is sequentially extruded from a hopper 6 into a circular flat shape as shown in FIG.

In addition, a heating surface 7 is provided at approximately the center of the entire length to surround the upper surface, and below the grilling plate 3a, a number of gas burners 8 having adjustment devices are installed from the side, and above the grilling plate 3a, electric heating and other heating elements are installed. A heating device is applied, and while the baking plate 3a passes through this heating surface T, the confectionery is heated and baked from both sides, and after being baked on the heating surface 1, the confectionery is sent to the other side and taken out. .

In this automatic baking machine, a bearing 9 is provided protruding from the front end of a frame 1, and a roll body 11 in which a band-shaped paper 10, preferably Japanese paper, is wound in a roll shape is supported on this. It is supported by suitable means on 3a so that it can be easily removed, the upper side is moved together with the grilling plate 3, and the chute 12 is separated from the grilling plate at the tip of the chute 12.

In this way, the paper strip 10 is spread on the baking board 3a on the frame 1 and moved, and confectionery dough is supplied from the material supplying device 5 to a plurality of circular flat pieces as shown in FIG. Then, the baking plate 3a and the confectionery dough are heated and baked appropriately from above and below within the feeding heating surface T.
The confectionery material is heated and baked through the baking plate 3a.
It is baked to a sufficient degree of heat without burning.
It can be easily removed from the grill.

However, in this conventional automatic baking machine, the confectionery needs to be cooled almost completely in order to separate it from the paper strip after baking, and this cooling zone has to be rolled up for a considerable length of time. The length becomes longer, the equipment becomes larger,
There are problems such as the need for a large space.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and specifically proposes an automatic baking machine for confectionery such as castella cakes, which can have a sufficiently long cooling zone even in a narrow space.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, FIG. 3 is a side view showing a part of a baking machine according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Also in FIG. 3, the grilling plate 3a is endless and moves continuously via rotating wheels 2°3 at both ends.
The portions shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are exactly the same as that shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. The plate can be constructed as in the conventional example, for example, as a continuous strip-shaped steel plate, or as a continuous combination of caterpillar-shaped plates.

In this automatic baking machine, a turning roller 15 is provided at a distance from the rotating wheel 2 on the leading side.

Only the paper strip 13 is wound around this folding roller 15, and the paper strip 13 is separated from the grilling plate 3a above the rotating wheel 2.

A take-up roller 16 with a slightly small diameter is rotatably installed between the rotary wheel 2 and the folding roller 15. Take roller 1
Wind it up by 6.

In addition, at this time, at least one
The two supports can also be provided with rollers (not shown), so that the confectionery can be held securely during inversion.

In this case, it is preferable to provide separate movement tracks 11 at intervals on the folded side of the paper strip 13.

The moving track 1T is normally arranged approximately horizontally, and the winding roller 16 is preferably provided so that the paper strip 13 to be wound up is inclined upward in the moving direction of the moving track 17, as shown in FIG. With this configuration, when the baked confectionery 14 separates from the paper band 13 and falls onto the moving track 11, it becomes extremely easy to separate the confectionery from the paper band, and the confectionery is smoothly transferred from the moving track 1T to the outside. It can be taken out.

As described above, when the automatic baking machine is configured, the paper strip is folded and then rolled up, so the confectionery can be sufficiently cooled even in an extremely short cooling zone, and the overall length of the baking machine can be shortened.
Furthermore, since the paper strip can be turned upside down and rolled up relative to the confectionery, the paper strip can be separated very easily.

That is, FIG. 4 is a layout diagram showing the configuration of a conventional paper strip winding mechanism. In this mechanism, a folding element 18 is provided on the leading side of the rotating wheel 2, and
A product travel track 19 extends at a distance from 8.

In this configuration, the paper strip 13 is folded back by the folded confectionery 18 and separated from the confectionery 14, and then wound up by the winding roller 20, and the separated confectionery 14 is placed on a moving track 19 extending toward the leading side. will be transferred to.

Therefore, in the winding mechanism configured as shown in FIG.
Since the cooling zone of the confectionery after baking is linear, this section is quite long to cool the confectionery sufficiently, and the length of the baking machine as a whole becomes very long, which is problematic.

Moreover, in addition to the length of the cooling zone, it is necessary to arrange a moving track in a straight line in the cooling zone, and since these moving tracks are further connected, the baking machine as a whole becomes very long.

Additionally, the paper strip will be separated on the underside relative to the confectionery.

On the other hand, in the baking machine according to the present invention, as is clear from comparing FIG. 3 and FIG. Since the moving means 17 is provided in parallel with the taking mechanism, the overall length of the baking machine can be configured to be extremely short, but the cooling zone can be made one tenth longer, and the strip of paper always touches the confectionery from the top. Can be rolled up and separated.

In the automatic baking machine having the above configuration, the winding roller 1
The winding mechanism provided with 6 can also be configured as shown in FIG. 5. With this configuration, the confectionery can be smoothly separated from the paper band 13 without cutting the paper band 13 at all.

First, FIG. 5 is a side view of a winding mechanism according to one embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in FIG.
The disc-shaped member 21 is brought into contact with the disc-shaped member 21, and the pressing wheel 22 is brought into contact with the disc-shaped member 21, and the pressing wheel 22 is driven to rotationally drive the winding roller 16.

If the winding roller 16 is brought into contact with the winding roller 16 simply by frictional contact in this way, even if the paper strip 13 is wound up and the diameter of the winding roller 16 increases sequentially, the moving speed of the paper strip 13, that is, the winding speed will be reduced. It can be held almost constant.

A covering layer 21a is provided on the surface of the disc-shaped member 21, and the covering layer 21a is made of rubber, plastic, or other elastic material having sliding properties.

That is, the push wheel 22 is driven by a drive pulley 24 via a belt 23.

However, the suppression wheel 22, the disc-shaped member 21, and the take-up roller 16 are in frictional contact with each other, and the take-up roller 16 is in frictional contact with each other.
The rotation of 6 changes depending on the frictional force between the disc-shaped member 21 and the push wheel 22.

In other words, when these frictional forces are increased, there is less slippage during the rotational force transmission process, and the rotation of the press wheel 22 is directly transmitted to the take-up roller 16, but when the frictional forces are reduced, there is more slippage. The rotation of the roller 16 becomes smaller than the rotation of the pressing wheel 22.

Therefore, even if the diameter of the winding roller 16 changes over time in accordance with the degree of winding of the paper strip 13, it will slip appropriately due to the change in frictional force over time, as described above, and will always Paper strips can be rolled up at a constant speed and will not break during winding.

Also, when changing the frictional force over time like this,
It is sufficient to support the push wheel 22 on a push rod 25 whose tip is pivotally mounted, and to support the spring 26 and the hydraulic mechanism 21 at the free end of this push rod 25.
