Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic four-tightening device for superimposed food dough, and more specifically, it is a method for automatically baking dough on a baking plate that moves continuously or intermittently. Polymerized 1
This invention relates to an automatic four-tightening device for food dough that properly and evenly tightens the edges of the overlapped dough so that the inner contents etc. are not exposed to the outside.

In addition, although confectionery will be mainly explained among foods, the present invention can be applied to food dough in general in addition to confectionery.

Traditionally, sweets include dorayaki, imyouyaki, etc.
There is a confectionery made by overlapping baked dough on top of each other C1
These were mainly manufactured by hand, but recently there have been quite a number of cases where they have been manufactured automatically.

For example, in an automatic dorayaki baking machine, both ends of a large number of baking plates are attached to an endless chain (C2), and the dough is fed intermittently or continuously from the upstream dough feeding device onto each baking plate. The product is supplied, then baked when passing through a heating zone in the middle, and taken out from the downstream side.When producing dorayaki etc. using this automatic baking machine, On the baking board, during or after baking at least two or more dough groups, the contents of the bean paste, etc. are dropped onto every other dough flf, and the dough without the bean paste etc. is superimposed on this, and then transferred to another conveyor. The periphery of the overlapped fabric, that is, the selvage, is tightened.

Because the dough is extremely soft after baking, this selvage tightening is performed by pressing the selvage portions from above with a pressing die while rotating the dough.

However, with this ear tightening device, the line
Even if this process is carried out, the dough is often handled manually, the appearance of the product is severely damaged, it is extremely unhygienic, and the contents often stick out even after tightening. Product stock has decreased to a large extent.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. Specifically, the present invention provides a selvedge that can continuously and automatically tighten the selvedge of food dough automatically and uniformly after automatically superimposing the dough after baking. We propose a tightening device.

That is, the present invention is provided with a gripping piece that can be opened and closed so as to grip the food dough in an overlapping state, and a gripping and pressing device that supports a suppression mold in the gripping piece so as to be able to move up and down is reciprocated in parallel to the moving direction of the food dough. The following is characterized in that a plurality of rows are freely arranged, receiving molds are arranged corresponding to each pressing mold at the pressing position of these pressing molds, and a lifting platform is provided in the receiving mold. Embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

It is a side view showing a part of the cross section from the direction (A)-(A) of the figure, and FIGS. 4(a) to 4(f) are the works! FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of each process in the ll aspect.

First, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the reference numeral 1 indicates a carry-in competition ~7, and the fabrics are piled up and carried in one layer by this conveyor 1 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. At the end, the direction of conveyance is changed to the right angle direction, that is, the direction of arrow B, and the fabric is sequentially tightened lf.

In this B direction, there are multiple rows, for example, 3 in FIG.
At least one gripping and pressing device @ 2 is provided along the rows. When multiple rows of gripping and pressing devices 2 are provided in this way, for example, in the first row, the ears are pre-tightened, and the Next, when moving to the second row, final tightening is performed, and the edges of the fabric are tightened neatly and uniformly.

In this case, each row is provided with at least one gripping and pressing device 2, but it is also possible to provide a plurality of gripping and pressing devices 2 to simultaneously process a large number of fabrics.

For example, in Fig. 3, each row has two gripping and pressing devices @2.
is set up. All of these gripping and pressing devices 2 have the same structure. 1, each gripping and pressing device 2 is provided with a pair of gripping pieces 3, as shown in FIG. The gripping pieces 3 can be opened and closed by any mechanism that can rotate around the upper end of each gripping piece 3. Usually, the upper end of each gripping piece 3 is connected to each gear 4a, 411 via a support arm 5a, 51), and these gears 4a, 41) are meshed with each other. The drive mechanism for the pair of gears 4a and 4b includes a drive arm 6a,
6b and a driving cylinder tough, in particular, the driving arm rollers a and 6b are attached to the gears 4a and 4b.
One drive arm 6a is connected to a drive cylinder 7. Therefore, the gripping pieces 3 of the drive cylinder are opened and closed by the expansion and contraction of the drive cylinder (see Fig. 4(a) to ([)).Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 3, a plurality of gripping pieces 3 are arranged in each row. If the pressing device 2 is out of place, attach two sets of gear trains 4a, 41) to the bridge 8 at intervals (put the gripping piece 3 on each gear train as described above).
are attached to form two gripping and pressing devices@2.

The drive arms 6b of these gripping and pressing devices 2 are connected by a connecting rod 9. With this configuration, the driving force of the drive cylinder is transferred to the adjacent gripping and pressing device 2 via the connecting rod 9.
The gripping piece 3 is opened and closed.

In addition, a pressing mold 10 is installed between the gripping pieces 3 of 1 and 1, which can be opened and closed as shown in the figure, and can be raised and lowered freely. The recess of the lever forms the pressing part 10a, while the upper surface of the pressing mold 10 is formed by the stomach lowering bar 11.
It sticks to the edge of the vine. In addition, a plurality of folding bars 11 are provided along each row.
The upper end of the li! is attached to the support 12! Both ends of the column 12 are attached to a driving arm 13, and the driving arm 13 is configured to be able to be raised and lowered by, for example, a lifting cylinder (not shown). Note that the pressing molds 10 can be configured to be able to move up and down in each row, but in order to synchronize the lifting and lowering of the pressing molds 10 in the gripping and pressing devices 2 of each row, a bar-shaped material is used between the branches 12 as shown in FIG. 14, and the drive arm 1 is connected to this rod-shaped member 14.
You can also take 3.

Furthermore, the gripping and pressing device 2 configured as described above usually has a frame body 1.
5, and orbit this frame 15 itself.
a, 16b, and the frame body 15 is configured to be driven by a drive arm 16. With this configuration, the gripping and pressing devices 2 move along the track rails 16a and 16b together with the frame 15, and as described later, the fabric (or fabric) is held in a superimposed state and the eye level is determined.

Next, when each gripping and pressing device @ 2 is in the pressing position, a receiving mold 17 is provided at the bottom corresponding to the suppressing mold 10. Each receiving mold is provided with a recess on the surface of the mold 17. This forms a suppressing part 17a, and this pressing part 17a and pressing part 1
A fabric line is performed between the terminal and 0a as described later. Each receiver is equipped with a lifting platform 1B that can be raised and lowered freely in the center of the mold 17. 1: Make it possible to grip.

The lifting platform 18 is attached to the tip of the lifting rod 19 (-J L), and the lower part of the lifting rod 19 in each row is connected by a connecting rod 20, and the IW moving arm 21 is attached to this connecting rod 20 (P, drive). The arm 21 is configured so that it can be raised and lowered by a drive cylinder (not shown). Therefore, each gripping and pressing device and the receiving mold perform the same operation for both temporary tightening and final tightening. The effect is shown below when temporary tightening is performed in row 4r.

First, when the fabric 22 (numeral 22a is the inside) reaches the end of the carry-in conveyor 1, the frame 15 is moved to the track rails 16a, 16.
1) to the fabric, where the pair of gripping pieces 3 are separated, and when they catch the fabric 22, they are closed and the gripping pieces 3
The dough 22 is gripped by the handles.

In this state, the frame 15 is moved back to the receiving mold 17 and becomes the state shown in FIG. 4 (al).
When the gripping piece 3 of 1 is opened, the fabric 22 remains in a polymerized state and sits on the receiving mold 17, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 (C)
As shown in the figure, the selvedges are lightly pressed to the extent of temporary tightening at the line of sight of the fabric 22, especially in the first row.

Subsequently, after a brief glance, the suppression mold 10 rises as shown in FIG. 4 ((1)), and then the lifting platform 18 rises (see FIG. 4(e)). At J5, the gripping pieces 3 are closed, and during this time, the lifting table 18 is lowered, and the temporarily tightened fabric 2 is gripped by the pair of gripping pieces 3 as shown in Fig. 4).

After the temporary tightening, the frame body 15 moves along the track rails 16a, 1t3b to the suppression position for final tightening in the state shown in FIG. 4(f), and final tightening is performed in the same manner.

Further, as described above, once the fabrics 22 are in the superimposed state, they may be superposed in any manner, but the separation can be automatically performed as follows.

First, both ends of the baking board used to continuously bake the dough are
It is attached to an endless chain and connected continuously in an endless manner, and onto this baking plate, for example, about 4 pieces of dough are dropped in parallel from a hopper etc., stretched as desired, and passed through a heating zone.
In the meantime, bake it properly. After that, each dough reaches the end of the baking plate, and near the end A, the dough is placed in four rows, and the contents of the bean paste etc. are placed on the dough in every other row using the oven A until the end of the baking board. Sent.

When the baking plate reaches the end, the baking plate temporarily stops, and at this time, each peeling plate is moved against the direction of movement of the dough 2, and the separation plate is moved between the baking plate and the baking surface of each dough. Then, each dough is peeled off from the baking board.

Next, among the four release plates, the release plate on which the empty dough is placed should face the release plate on the side of the adjacent dough on which the dough has been removed, and avoid rotating. Pour the mixture on top of the dough.

The overlaid confectionery is rotated half a turn in the direction of movement of the dough or after baking, with each peeling plate remaining in the overlapping state, and the overlaid confectionery is transferred onto the above-mentioned competition 12 and discharged, and then as described above. ,■Tightening is performed.
