Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a combination confectionery by supplying granular confectionery to a granular confectionery receiving section in which the granular confectionery is arranged and moved at regular intervals and combined with a plastic confectionery material. The purpose of this invention is to provide a confectionery that is a combination of the granular confectionery and a plastic confectionery material.

It is a confectionery that combines granular confectionery such as snack confectionery, crackers, biscuits, marshmallows, popcorn, and seeds with plastic confectionery materials such as chime colate, candy, jelly, and ice cream, and the outer periphery of the granular confectionery is made of plastic confectionery material. Coated products are known. Also known is a combination confectionery in which granular confectionery is mixed and dispersed in a plastic confectionery material to form a desired shape.

However, in such combination confectionery, it is not possible to directly see the granular confectionery inside, and even if the two are combined, it is not possible to create a combination confectionery with an interesting design that takes advantage of the difference in appearance, and from the outside it looks like a plastic confectionery. Only the wood was visible.

For example, in order to make an integrated confectionery by combining the two so that a part of the granular confectionery is visible,
As described in No. 47, it is possible to make a confectionery by injecting a plastic confectionery material into a mold or the like and inserting a portion of a granular confectionery into the mold.

However, in order to manufacture such a combination confectionery, it is necessary to insert the granular confectionery one by one into each piece of plastic confectionery material in the mold, and the granular confectionery must be fed in synchronization with the movement of the mold. It was difficult to do.

In addition, when using granular confectionery that has a complex shape and has directionality, it must be inserted into the plastic confectionery material in the same direction, which is difficult to do mechanically, so it must be done manually. It became very expensive.

Therefore, in order to mass-produce such products, it is necessary to inject the plastic confectionery material into a mold and then automatically drop the granular confectionery using a sheeter or the like, without worrying about directionality. Only granular confectionery in simple shapes such as solid sticks or balls have been used, and granular confectionery in complex shapes with directionality cannot be used.

The inventors of this invention have discovered that when combining granular confectionery and plastic confectionery material, a portion of the granular confectionery material comes out, and that the plastic confectionery material is molded into a design shape that matches the appearance of the granular confectionery material, such as a nest. We conducted research to develop a method for producing combination sweets with complex and fun designs, which could not be produced in large quantities using conventional methods, and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention supplies granular confectionery from a granular confectionery supplying device to a cylindrical rotating roll that has suction ports arranged at regular intervals on its surface and whose interior is in a reduced pressure state by suction. When the roll rotates and the suction port comes down, the pressure inside the cylinder at that part is set to normal pressure or pressurized state, and the granular confectionery is released downward and moves in sync with the rotation of the rotating roll. The granular confectionery is sequentially supplied to the granular confectionery receptacle of the conveying device, and the granular confectionery is placed at a predetermined position on the plastic confectionery material formed into a desired shape, and the two are integrated into a combined confectionery with an enjoyable design. It is.

This point will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

The rotating roll (1) used in this invention is illustrated in FIG. 1, for example.
As seen in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, it has a cylindrical shape, and suction ports (4) are arranged at regular intervals around its outer periphery. Further, the inside of the cylinder is vacuumed by a suction device or the like to reduce the pressure.

However, the portion corresponding to the lower part of the cylindrical body is separated by a partition wall (7), and the portion is communicated with the outside air or blown by a blower or the like, so that the internal pressure thereof becomes normal pressure or pressurized.

The granular confectionery (5) is supplied to this rotating roll from the granular confectionery feeding device (2), and the granular confectionery is sucked and held by the suction port.

At this time, if a large amount of granular confectionery is supplied at once, a large number of granular confectionery may be suctioned and held in one suction port, or may be sucked out as an agglomerate, so the granular confectionery feeding device may be used to provide an appropriate amount of granular confectionery. It is desirable that granular confectionery be supplied in a quantitative manner.

That is, for example, granular confectionery is placed in a hopper or the like, the bottom plate is vibrated with a vibrator, etc., and the granular confectionery is discharged little by little from the popper bottom plate to be sent to a rotating roll.

The granular confectionery sent to the rotating roll is sucked and held by the suction port, and is conveyed as the rotating roll rotates. At this time, it is desirable that the granular confectionery that is held sideways or held with a significant sideways shift is placed above the suction port by the guide (8).

In addition, if necessary, it is desirable to use a brush roll (9) to brush off excess granular confectionery that overlaps with the suctioned granular confectionery so that one granular confectionery is retained in each suction port. .

For example, when using granular confectionery with a directionality such as an arcuate shape, by brushing it with a brush roll etc.
Or, when the granular confectionery is held with one end inserted into the suction port, like bacteria, it is difficult to shake it off, but the third
Figure (B) or (When a curved surface with a large radius is held under suction like a uniform, it is easily brushed off,
This makes it possible to align the direction of the granular confectionery.

The granular confectionery that is suctioned and held by the suction port is carried downward as the rotating roll rotates, and when the suction port comes down, the internal pressure of the cylinder in that area becomes normal pressure or pressurized, so it falls downward. do.

Below the rotating roll, there is a conveying device (3) having a receiving part (6) for granular confectionery that moves in synchronization with the rotation of the rotating roll, and the granular confectionery that has fallen from the rotating roll is combined with plastic confectionery material. Each piece is stored one by one in the receiving section.

The granular confectionery stored in the granular confectionery receptacle of the conveying device is combined with plastic confectionery materials there, or is conveyed by the conveyance device, molded, aligned, and transported to the moving plastic confectionery materials and combined there to produce a combination confectionery. shall be.

Next, the present invention will be explained by examples.

Example 1 30 parts of water extracted from a mixture of 30 parts of wheat flour, 30 parts of potato starch, 20 parts of waxy corn starch, and 40 parts of cold plum powder, and 20 parts of sugar
1 part, 2 parts of bicarbonate of soda and mix the dough to a thickness of 10
The product was rolled to n+m, punched out using a Daruma-shaped punching die, a face was drawn on with edible ink, and baked to obtain a granular confectionery puffed into a Daruma shape.

This granular confectionery is fed to a granular confectionery feeding device (
2) was fed to the hopper Qll, and the bottom plate of the hopper was vibrated to send it little by little to the rotating roll.

The rotating roll (1) had a cylindrical shape with suction ports (4) arranged at regular intervals on its surface, and its interior was brought into a reduced pressure state by a suction device.

Therefore, the granular confectionery supplied to the rotary roll was carried to the suction port together with the suctioned air, where it was sucked and held, and conveyed by the rotation of the rotary roll.

The granular confectionery suctioned and held by the suction port is held by a large spherical surface as shown in Figure 3 (B) when passing under the rotating brush roll (9) that brushes the surface of the rotating roll. However, as shown in Fig. 3 (5), those held by inserting a small spherical surface into the suction port were retained without being shaken off and were carried to the lower part of the rotating roll.

Therefore, all of the granular confectionery transported to the bottom of the rotating roll were arranged with the large spherical surface facing down.

The inside of the cylinder at the bottom of the rotating roll was separated from other parts by a partition wall (7), and air was sent to that part by a blower, so that the granular confectionery was released from the suction port and fell downward.

The granular confectionery that had fallen from the rotating rolls was stored at a predetermined position in a conveying device (3) having a granular confectionery receiving section (6) that moved in sync with the rotating rolls.

This receiving section is equipped with a plastic confectionery material supply device α■
Plastic confectionery material made of more colored chocolate (13)
was injected and combined with granular confectionery.

After combining, the plastic confectionery materials were cooled and solidified by a conventional method to obtain a combined confectionery.

This was a combination confectionery with a very fun design, with a Daruma-shaped doll with a child's face inserted into a basket-shaped colored chocolate.

Example 2 70 parts of wheat flour, 30 parts of potato starch, 15 parts of sugar, 1 part of salt
85 parts of boiling water was added, the mixture was heated and cooled, and the dough with 10 parts of putter and 1 part of fatty acid monoglyceride was formed into a thin sheet with a thickness of about 1.5 fl. A pattern such as the eyes, beak, and feathers of a small bird was printed on the sheet, and the sheet was punched out using a punching die according to the pattern, and baked to expand into a bow shape to obtain a granular confectionery in the shape of a small bird.

This granular confectionery is fed to a granular confectionery feeding device (
2), and was discharged little by little from the bottom of the hopper by vibration and supplied to the first rotating roll (11).

This rotary roll had a cylindrical shape, and suction ports (4) were arranged at regular intervals on its outer periphery, and the inside of the segment was brought into a reduced pressure state by suction.

Therefore, the granular confectionery sent to the rotating roll is held by the suction port and transported as the rotating roll rotates, so a guide (8) and a brush roll (9) are provided along the way so that the granular confectionery is sucked and held by one suction port. Most of the numerous granular confectionery present were brushed off.

The lower part of the cylindrical body was divided by a partition wall (7) and was pressurized by sending air from a blower, so that the granular confectionery carried below the rotating roll was discharged from the suction port and fell.

The fallen granular confectionery is removed from the second rotating roll (1) whose suction port (41) rotates in synchronization with the suction port of the first rotating roll.
′) is held and carried by suction.

As a result, even if a plurality of granular confections were held in one suction section of the first rotating roll, - pieces were suctioned and held at the suction port of the second rotating roll.

Similarly to the first rotating roll, the inside of the cylindrical body was divided by a partition wall (71) under the second rotating roll, and the pressure inside the partition wall was high, so that the granular confectionery was discharged downward.

The granular confectionery that fell from the rotating roll was stored in a granular confectionery receiving section (6) that moved in synchronization with the rotation of the rotating roll by a conveying device (3).

The receiving section has a rectangular parallelepiped space that is just large enough to accommodate the granular confectionery, and a protrusion is provided in the center of the space. Therefore, when the tapping device a2 vibrates, the direction of the granular confectionery is aligned with the arcuate curved surface facing upward.

The granular confectionery with the same orientation is fed to the plastic confectionery material supply device 00)
combined with a plastic confectionery material (13) made of chocolate injected into a mold that moves in sync with the receiving part;
By cooling and solidifying, a fun combination confectionery with a three-dimensional design of a small bird holding an egg in a nest as shown in Fig. 4 was obtained.
