Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an unmanned kamaboko conveying device suitable for being installed in an automatic kamaboko production line that automatically forms and bakes kamaboko, especially sasa kamaboko.

Sasa kamaboko is made by molding the ground material into a sasa kamaboko-shaped dough in a kamaboko dough forming machine, commonly known as a tamatori machine, and then automatically inserting all the heat-resistant parts into the dough before dropping it out of the machine. Generally, the kamaboko dough is piled up and transferred manually to a flat conveyor, and then the kamaboko dough is pressed and beaten by hand to shape it, and then the kamaboko dough is sequentially fired in a baking oven to obtain sasa kamaboko products. Since a large number of people are required between the kamaboko dough forming machine and the dough baking furnace, this poses a problem in terms of product manufacturing efficiency, and there is a strong desire to automate this process, especially from the perspective of food hygiene management.

From the perspective of the mechanism principle, various proposals can be made for such a kamaboko dough conveying mechanism, but in order to actually construct an automatic conveyance line with a number of revolutions as high as Central America, it is first necessary to have a simple mechanism that is easy to maintain. It is a method that has a high operating rate with fewer breakdowns at the same time as tightening, and from the perspective of food hygiene management, it is a method that can easily process cleaning and sterilization of whole parts, etc. It is desirable to have a method that can easily and reliably take the kamaboko dough without using a complicated mechanism, but can also be linked to a mechanism that automatically shapes and presses the kamaboko dough afterward. It is necessary to take into consideration that it is suitable for separating the kamaboko and the whole dough and automatically sending the whole dough to the kamaboko dough forming machine.

The present invention aims to provide a conveying device for an automatic kamaboko baking machine that can suitably meet such requests. A large number of carriers are attached to a chain conveyor that is driven by a mechanical system, and each of these carriers has a hinge-like attachment that can freely move up and down, and a ferromagnetic material such as stainless steel with kamaboko dough that falls from the kamaboko dough forming machine. A suitable number of permanent magnets installed on the attachment and a guide roller attached to the top of the attachment attract and hold the kamaboko dough through the magnetic attraction force of the magnets. The kamaboko dough that naturally falls from the molding machine is received in a horizontal state one by one by the attachment, and then this attachment is sequentially turned into a vertical state by a guide bar that cooperates with the guide roller. It is constructed so that it can be continuously transferred to a fabric shaping/pressing machine.

According to such a conveying device in an automatic kamaboko baking machine, it is possible to extremely smoothly and reliably pick up each piece of kamaboko dough that falls from the kamaboko dough molding machine, and its simple mechanism has a long and simple structure. It has the great advantage of being able to configure the conveyance line at the lowest possible cost, and in particular, the mechanism for receiving and taking the kamaboko dough attachment rate is processed by the magnetic attraction force of permanent magnets without using complicated clamping means. Therefore, the indexing speed or manufacturing speed of the line can be dramatically increased.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Fig. 1 is a partial layout diagram of an automatic kamaboko baking machine line equipped with an automatic conveyance device according to the present invention, and shows a kamaboko kamaboko baking machine as a tamatori machine. The dough forming machine 1 is a known device configured to mold surimi, which is the raw material for sasa kamaboko, into the shape of a sasa kamaboko, and to automatically insert the entire heat-resistant portion into the kamaboko dough and release it. At the top, a large number of total rates 4 collected via the chute 2 and the forwarding conveyor 3 are pooled.

Due to the characteristics of the present invention, the overall ratio 4 is made of an elongated flat material made of, for example, stainless steel, which is highly heat resistant, corrosion resistant, and has a suitable magnetic material.

A long chain conveyor 6 to which synchronous driving force is transmitted from the drive device 5 of the kamaboko dough forming machine 1 is connected to the kamaboko dough discharge and fall section of the kamaboko dough forming machine 1, and the chain conveyor 6 is moved at required intervals. A large number of carriers 7 are provided around the entire circumference.

8 is a molded kamaboko dough, and when the whole sheet 4 inserted into this is taken out from the kamaboko dough forming machine 1 by a carrier 7, it is received in a horizontal state as shown in the figure, and then,
The shaping press device 1 is arranged on the bed 9 of the chain conveyor 6 in a state in which it is gradually turned vertically by the action of the carrier 7 and the feeding guide bar 12.
0 and kamaboko dough baking furnace 11 in sequence.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, a separator for taking out the baked sasa kamaboko and the total rate 4 and a separate disinfection sterilization tank for the total rate 4 are installed at the rear stage of the baking furnace 11, and a separate sterilization tank for the total rate 4 is installed. The whole rate 4 is automatically transferred to the forwarding conveyor 3 as shown by the arrow.

Similarly, although not shown, the bed 9 can also incorporate an ultrasonic cleaning tank or the like that can appropriately sterilize the carrier 7 during the return process of the chain conveyor 6.

FIG. 2 conceptually shows the connection between the kamaboko dough forming machine 1 and the automatic conveyance device of the present invention, and shows the driving sprocket 14.
is continuously or intermittently rotationally driven by a drive shaft 15 which receives a synchronous driving force from the drive device 5 of the dough forming machine 1, and as shown in the figure, the kamaboko dough 8 stuck at the tip of the whole frame 4 is In this state, the kamaboko dough forming machine 1 releases and falls in a horizontal state S゛, and the carrier 7 is located horizontally below it.
They are sucked up one by one and transported to the right.

During the transport, the carrier 7 cooperates with the feeding guide bar 12 to gradually turn into a vertical position, and is sequentially transported while assuming a posture for the subsequent dough shaping/pressing process and baking oven.

13 indicates a return guide bar for the carrier 7.

Here, as one of the carriers 7 mounted on the chain conveyor 6 is shown in enlarged form in FIGS. 3 and 4, a rail block 16 installed vertically on the bed 9
Two chains 18 are connected to two parallel rails 17.
The mountings each have a plate 20 fixed to the attachment 19, and this plate 2
0 is provided with a hinge-like attachment 21 that is fixed with a screw or the like.

This carrier 7 is further provided on the movable part of the attachment 21, and the skewer holder near the hinge part is a block 22, and the movable part is also a Y-shaped skewer guide 2 attached at both ends.
3, an appropriate number of permanent magnets 24 arranged and fixed between the skewer guides 23, and a guide roller 26 rotatably disposed at the tip of the attachment 21 with a roller pin receiver 25.

When the guide roller 26 is in contact with the feeding guide bar 12 and receives the kamaboko dough attachment rate 4, it is kept in a horizontal state as shown in the figure and is transferred by the chain conveyor 6.
Thereafter, along the path of the guide bar 12, it is gradually lifted up as shown by the broken line in FIG. 3 and turned into a vertical position for the next process.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the kamaboko dough 8 discharged from the kamaboko dough forming machine 1 can be naturally fallen horizontally by S゛ by appropriately selecting its weight and the length of the stainless steel frame 4. In addition, the whole frame 4, which is reliably magnetically attracted to the permanent magnet 24 of the attachment 21 in a horizontal state by the guidance of the skewer guide 23 of the carrier 7, is stably held without detaching from the carrier 7 naturally. be done.

Since the carrier 7 has such a structure, it is difficult to pick up the kamaboko dough 8 from the kamaboko dough forming machine 1 when compared with a mechanical full-rate clamping mechanism, etc., which is constructed using other methods. It is possible to process naturally and quickly, dramatically increasing manufacturing efficiency, and the simplicity of the mechanism, which can reduce the number of parts as much as possible, significantly reduces the cost of this long automatic conveyor line. can be distant relatives.

The permanent magnet 24 on the attachment 21 that attracts and holds the entire magnet 4 can strongly resist a force in a direction that would peel off the entire magnet 4. Since the kamaboko is relatively weak against the force of pulling it out, it is possible to easily pull out the kamaboko 4 from the magnet 24 in the final process of separating the baked kamaboko and the kanboku 4. This point is also very advantageous in terms of automatic collection with a total rate of 4.

Each component of the carrier 7 except for the permanent magnet 24 is desirably made of stainless steel material with excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance when considering the subsequent kamaboko dough baking oven and ultrasonic cleaning treatment.

Depending on the manufacturing speed, the skewer guide 23 provided on the carrier 7 may be installed in a large number instead of two divided pieces as shown in the figure, or may be configured into a large Y-shaped skewer holder that also includes the placement part of the permanent magnet 24. It is also possible to do this, and furthermore, an appropriate chute is installed in the kamaboko dough falling space between the molding plate 1 and the conveying device of the present invention so that the receiving operation from the kamaboko dough forming machine 1 can be carried out even more quickly. This is also an effective means.

As is clear from the above description, the conveying device in the automatic kamaboko baking machine according to the present invention transports the kamaboko dough formed by the kamaboko dough forming machine, which is pierced through the whole portion and is sequentially released and fallen, to the hinge in the carrier of the chain conveyor. The permanent magnet of the shape attachment receives all of the pieces horizontally one by one by magnetic adsorption, and then changes its posture to the vertical position required for subsequent processes such as pressing, shaping, and baking the kamaboko dough. However, it is configured to be conveyed continuously or intermittently, and is a particularly excellent system as an automatic conveyance means for the kamaboko dough that is released and falls from the kamaboko dough forming machine.

In particular, each carrier of the chain conveyor has a mechanism that quickly and reliably receives and stores the carriers using the magnetic attraction force of magnets, without applying any other complicated carriers. This greatly contributes to lowering the cost of transportation lines, improving operating rates, and improving kamaboko manufacturing efficiency.
