Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for dispensing bread dough, noodle dough, etc. in a belt shape, and in order to protect the gluten network structure of these doughs, the dispensing is performed under a low pressure effect, and This method is designed to obtain the desired discharge width and thickness while at the same time ensuring stability in the discharge amount.

The present inventor has developed a device for continuous dispensing dough into strips that is highly effective when used for dough that is fluid, such as dough made by kneading wheat flour with water, and is unified as a whole by a structure with developed gluten. conducted research and installed a conveyance mechanism at the bottom of the dough hopper, and installed a cutter facing inward at the upper edge of the dough outlet on the side wall of the hopper, allowing the cutter to cut the dough stagnant at the upper edge of the outlet. He has already invented a belt-shaped continuous discharge device that allows the fabric on the conveying mechanism to be stably discharged from the outlet, and has filed a patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 122,736/1983).

As a result of further studies on the above-mentioned belt-shaped continuous dispensing device, the present inventor found that by providing a sliding plate on the opposite side of the dough discharging port, the dispensing dough was less likely to run through, compared to the above-mentioned strip-shaped continuous discharging device. We discovered that it is possible to eliminate this problem and achieve even higher accuracy in stabilizing the amount of dough dispensed.
The present invention has now been completed. That is, in the present invention, a conveying mechanism is provided at the bottom of the dough hopper, a cutter facing inward is provided at the upper edge of the dough outlet in the side wall of the hopper, and a sliding plate is provided on the opposite side of the outlet. This is a device for continuously discharging fabric strips.

The structure of the present invention will be described below based on the embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a hopper, and a conveying mechanism 5 having an endless belt 4 stretched between a driving roller 2 and a driven roller 3 is installed at the bottom of the hopper. It is being

In the drawings, the conveyance mechanism 5 is shown as a drive roller 2, a driven roller 3, and an endless belt 4, but it is not necessarily limited to this, and may be in the shape of a caterpillar, for example.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a discharge port, and a cutter 7 is provided at the upper part of the discharge port toward the inside of the hopper. In the drawing, the cutter 7 consists of a fixed blade 8 with an array of teeth in the form of peaks and valleys, and a sliding blade 9 with a shape that matches the blade.The sliding blade 9 is driven by a motor 11 via an arm 10. Although shown as sliding on the lower surface, the invention is not necessarily limited to this.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a sliding plate provided on the opposite side of the discharge port 6, which is slid back and forth on the conveying mechanism 5 by an unillustrated drive device via an arm 13 fixed to this plate, and the dough 14 is discharged. Press the area near the exit 6 repeatedly.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a receiving conveyor on which the discharged dough 14 is placed and transferred.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and its operation and effects will be explained. First, in order to obtain a constant discharge effect, the dough 14 in the hopper 1 must always be directed toward the discharge port 6 in the direction of the arrow d. Furthermore, it is important that the dough cut into pieces by the cutter 7 rotates in the directions of arrows a, b, and c. When the rotation in the c direction stops, the movement of the dough in the d direction is inhibited, and the discharged dough becomes inconsistent. The function of the sliding plate 12 in the present invention is to always encourage the rotation of the dough 14 in the directions of arrows a, b, and c, thereby increasing the constant metering of the discharged dough.

When discharging, the dough 14 is
is divided into vertical parts, and the dough above the cutter that is not discharged is rotated in the directions of arrows a, b, and c.
Depending on the nature of the dough, the dough may stick to the hopper wall and may not be able to rotate sufficiently in the directions of arrows a, b, and c. , rotation in the c direction, and can assist in stable discharge of the dough.

As described above, according to the present invention, when dispensing bread dough, noodle dough, etc. in a belt shape, the dispensing is performed under a low-pressure effect, and at the same time, a constant dispensing width and thickness is obtained, and at the same time, stability is ensured in the dispensing amount. It is something that can be done.
