Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to decorate a cake sanitarily and efficiently with high productivity, by squeezing out a cream while giving a three dimensional motion to a nozzle with a bar, and forming a decorating pattern continuously on a sponge dough in transfer. CONSTITUTION:A three dimensional motion mechanism is constituted of an operating plate 8, a sliding frame 14, a motor 15, etc., and the tilting angle of the operating plate 8, advancing and retreating distance of the operating lever 16 and the specification of the motor 15 are suitably set to move the operating layer 15 in a locus shown as (b). A nozzle 5 is moved in the same way, and a cream pattern (a) is formed on the sponge dough 1 by the motion and the transfer of a conveyor 2. Plural sets of the apparatses equipped in the transfer route of the sponge dough 1 provide complicated and beautiful patters, and the control by a computer provides uniform patterns by the memorized pattern without requiring the skill. Thus, the cake can be decorated sanitarily with high productivity, and labor saving can be achieved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for decorating sponges such as shortcakes with cream.

The method for mass-producing this type of cake is to convey the sponge dough baked in an oven in a belt shape on a conveyor, and during the conveyance, after passing through a C1 cream sanding process and a cream coating process, it is manually processed. It is common to make a cream garnish - this manual cream garnishing method has the following disadvantages.

■ Many manual steps are required, resulting in low productivity; ■ Since many hands are required, there is a lot of contact with human bodies, clothes, etc., and this contact causes bacterial contamination. ■ Continuous squeezing of piping bags can cause lung disease. Onset of flame ■ Decorating requires skill.The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by automating the cream squeezing operation.

That is, the sponge dough baked in an oven is conveyed on a conveyor, and during the conveyance, a nozzle connected to a cream supply pump is placed in front of it, and this nozzle is attached to a bar that moves in three dimensions. While moving the sponge material and squeezing out the IJ-mem from the nozzle, the nozzle was moved with a bar so that a cream decorative pattern was continuously formed on the sponge material.

With this configuration, cream is continuously squeezed out from the nozzle on the moving sponge material and the position of the cream is changed, so that a decorative pattern of cream is continuously formed on the sponge material. Ru.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying figure (=1 diagram).

As shown in the figure, the sponge dough 1 that has gone through the cream sanding process and the cream application process is conveyed by a heating converter 2, and the driving motor 3 of this converter is controlled by an IS so that the conveying speed can be changed by DJ. There is.

During this conveyance, there is a nozzle 5 attached to the bar 4, a cream supply phaser is connected to this nozzle 5, and a pump 6 supplies cream from the popper-shaped cream container 7 to the nozzle 5 continuously. is squeezed out. The number and position of the nozzles 5 may be appropriately set in consideration of the number and position of the cream decoration. Moreover, since the cream is in the form of a vine, it is preferable to use a splash pump or the like as the pump 6.

An actuating plate 8 is located on the side of the conveyor where the nozzle 5 is installed. It is rotatable by the handle 10 and can be fixed at any inclination angle.Therefore, the actuating plate 8 can also be selected at any inclination angle and fixed in that state.

Slide on the operating plate 8 with all 11 flint receivers 11 +
The slide frame 14 is attached to the slide rod 12 via a bearing 13 in the plane angle direction (I ) is provided so that it can be slid freely in the direction of the arrow). With this configuration, the slide frame 14 can move freely on the xy coordinate plane of the actuating plate 8 by χ·1. moreover,
Motor 1, such as a stainless steel motor, is located in the middle of the operating plate 8.
5 is provided, and an operating rod 16 is provided on the rotating shaft of the motor 15 (-).
The tip of the actuator 1'+16 is disposed in the middle of the slide frame 14 and is movable in the axial direction via a bearing 17 which is rotatable relative to the inner part 1-.
The radius of rotation of the slide frame 14 is determined by arbitrarily setting the fixed position of the slide frame 14. Various means of advancing and retracting the operating rod 16 relative to the bearing 17 can be considered.
7 and the actuation +116 are screw-coupled, the actuation rod 16 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 15, and the rod 16 is moved forward and backward in the direction of the arrow C by rotating the handle 18 that is integrated with the rod 16.

A bar 4 that can accommodate the nozzle 5 is connected to the slide frame 14 through a bearing 19 for rotation only, and the nozzle 5 moves via the bar 4 following the movement of the slide frame 14. It is preferable that the nozzle removal part 1 of the bar 4 is lowered by the rotation of the actuating plate 8, so implementation 1
Although not shown in the figure, the nozzle receiving part 4a of the bar 4
is movably supported only on the conveying surface (horizontal surface) of the conveyor 2, and the middle part 41) of the bar 4 is bent in a figure 11 shape, and this bent portion also absorbs the rotation of the actuating plate 8. In this embodiment, the actuating plate 8 and the slide frame 14
, a three-dimensional movement mechanism is constituted by a motor 15, etc.,
The nozzle 5 moves in various ways depending on the inclination angle of the actuating plate 8, the moving distance of the actuating rod 16, and the rotation specifications of the motor 15. If you want to, the first tally is the second figure! ] As shown in Figure 2, when the actuating rod 16 moves, the nozzle 5 also moves in the same way as the actuating rod 16, and this movement and the conveyance of the core hair 2 create a ream pattern in the sponge fabric as shown in Figure 2. l'i will be destroyed. That is, from -1- to 1llfi, the nozzle 5 moves as shown below to produce a cream pattern.

Here, the radius and the distance jjjjl between the 1-111 axis of 1 mork 15 and the center column action point of the frame 14 are shown, and the point of action is Draw the trace of the tip glue σL of the operating rod 16 in Fig. 2 (1).

Furthermore, by providing a plurality of these devices on the conveyance path, the patterns drawn by the plurality of devices are combined, making it possible to obtain more complex and beautiful horizontal patterns. The inclination angle of the actuating plate 8, the forward/backward distance of the actuating rod 16, and the rotation specifications of the motor 15 are automatically converted into turns (various patterns can be created if this is controlled) by a computer controller and memorized, and the patterns are memorized. It can be taken out arbitrarily (it is possible to obtain a uniform pattern without the need for skill).

Next, an example of making cream decorations using this device will be explained with reference to FIG.

In this example, the nozzles 5 are arranged in the conveying force direction 1 [2 rows are provided after 1, and both nozzles 5 are housed in separate) -4], and each nozzle -
4 is connected to a three-dimensional movement mechanism consisting of the aforementioned actuating plate 8, frame 14, etc., and both mechanisms are caused to move as shown in FIG.
Even if the left and right motors 15 are rotated in opposite directions, the sponge fabric 1 that has undergone the process of sandwiching the cream a and the IJ-me coating process is moved by the conveyor 2, and the cream pattern is squeezed out from the front and rear nozzles 5. A circular motion is applied to the nozzle 5 to form a continuous spiral cream pattern on the dough 1, which is cut into appropriate sizes as shown in Fig. 3, and then decorated with fruits, etc. Ship. For the fruit decoration, cut 1 piece of sponge dough into 1 piece.
It's okay to be Moe.

Of course, the pattern will differ depending on the carrying speed of the core 2, and the three-dimensional movement mechanism

As described in 1 above, according to the cream decoration method of this invention, with the configuration described in 1-1, it is possible to shoot the cleat from the nozzle like a J twig onto the moving sponge material 4. It is possible to form a continuous cream decorative pattern on the sponge fabric by changing its aperture, lj j, and position as it moves.
