Abstract

PURPOSE:The titled smearing apparatus, equipped with a vibrating trough having a food on a powdery or granular material moving from one end to the other, weir crossing the flow direction of the powdery or granular material provided in the above-mentioned trough and vibrating device for the vibrating trough and capable of smearing the food surface with the powdery or granular material for massproduction. CONSTITUTION:A vibrating trough 1 is vibrated to a discharge outlet on the other end by a vibrating device 3. Thus, a food 9 is moved to the side of the other end while rolled, and a powdery or granular material 10 is also moved to the discharge outlet of the other end along the surface of the trough 1. However, the food 9 and powdery or granular material 10 are temporarily stopped at a weir 2, and the food 9 is made to stay there while rotated. The powdery or granular material 10 is also made to stay at the weir 2. As a result, the surface of the food 9 is uniformly and well smeared with the powdery or granular material 10. When the surface of the food 9 is smeared therewith to some extent, the resistance of the surface of the food 9 is reduced, and the food 9 is pushed by the succeeding food 9 to go over the weir 2. The food 9 is successively moved to the discharge outlet of the other end while smeared with the powdery or granular material 10 and discharged in the state of the surface thereof smeared with the powdery or granular material 10.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Object of the Invention> Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a device for sprinkling powdery particles on the surface of a food product, and more specifically, it coats the surface of a food product with glutinous rice using a batter such as starch. Such as steamed or sooted Chinese food products such as so-called Zhen Zhu Wan's, Noodle Bao Wan's, etc., which are steamed or oil-sooted and have edible particles attached to them; related to food manufacturing equipment.

Conventional Technology In recent years, a variety of mass-produced foods, both Japanese and Western, have been developed due to the need for simpler and faster cooking.Among these mass-produced foods, there are especially foods that can be cooked a little by the family to bring out their original flavor. It is the most popular so-called frozen food. Frozen foods also include not only Japanese and Western foods, but also Chinese-style foods, and although the only frozen foods sold in the market were shumai, Chinese manshu, and meatballs, they belong to authentic Chinese cuisine. Attempts have also been made to offer frozen foods such as Zhenzhu Maruzi and Zhaobao Maruzi on the market.

For example, in Japan, bread, etc., cut into small cubes, sprinkled with oil and soot, is generally called fried pique, but in Chinese cuisine, shrimp, squid, chicken, etc.
Dried meat from pigs and other birds and animals is mixed with starch and formed into a round shape, and a batter such as egg white is coated around the formed food product. On top of this, bread cut into small cubes is adhered and coated with oil and soot. It is called Menbao Maruko (menbaowanzu). In addition, instead of edible particles such as white bread, glutinous rice soaked in water to make it hygroscopic and steamed is called chenzhuwanzu, and these are authentic Chinese '1
It is counted as one of the four principles. However, it is extremely difficult to coat the surface of these Chinese dishes with cut pieces of rice or bread by mechanical means, which hinders mass production and frozen foods.

In other words, on the surface of these spherical foods such as noodle wrappers and rare pearls, rice, bread, green peas, fava beans, corn, etc. can be placed on the surface of the spherical foods, depending on the taste.
In order to mass-produce these foods, it is necessary not only to simply sprinkle them, but also to constantly sprinkle them without damaging the structure or properties of the molded food products. In addition, since these foods are subjected to boiling, steaming, freezing, etc. after coating the surface of the food with powder and granules, the powder and granules on the surface often peel off at this time. However, even though it is possible for craftsmen to manually perform the entire 7s process to meet these requirements, no iL device has yet been proposed and implemented that can mass-produce this process, and the amount of food consumed in authentic Chinese cuisine has not yet been proposed. The development of this type of device is awaited also from the viewpoint of market supply.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. To provide a device for sprinkling powder and granular materials on the surface of food, which can sprinkle powder and granular materials on the surface of food.

<Structure of the Invention> Means for solving the problem and its operation, that is, the apparatus according to the present invention is such that the powder or granules supplied from one end are discharged from the other end, and the food is placed on the powder or granules. a vibrating trough placed in the vibrating trough; at least one weir provided within the vibrating trough so as to intersect with the flow direction of the powder and granular material; It is characterized by comprising a vibrating device that applies vibrations.

Therefore, the structure of this means and its operation will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings as follows.

1 and 2 are a front view and a plan view of a coating device according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of this coating device when coating food, and FIG.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of an automated line incorporating a device to collect and reuse powder and granules according to another embodiment of the present invention.

First, in FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a vibrating trough, and this vibrating trough 1 consists of a frame 1a and a bottom plate 1b, such as a net-like body.

The inside of this frame 1a is partitioned by a partition plate 1C, and has at least one passage, that is, two passages in the example shown in FIG.
In the example shown in the figure, one passage is formed.

Food passes through each of these passages while rotating as described below,
During this time, the surface of the food is sprinkled with powder and granules, which enter through the supply port at one end and are discharged from the discharge port at the other end, as shown by the arrow in FIG.

Next, this vibrating trough 1 is provided with at least one weir 2 intersecting the flow direction of the powder or food. The inclination angle θ of this weir 2 is set to be about 10'' to 60''. Preferably it is about 30° to 45°.

Further, the length of the weir 2 is adjusted depending on the shape and properties of the food. The reason for this is that when vibration is applied by the vibrating trough 1, the powder and granules and the food flow at the same time while rotating in the inclined weir 2, and the powder and granules can be uniformly spread on the surface of the food. . Also, vibration!・Rough 1 has a vibration device [3
is installed, and the vibrating I/rough 1 is vibrated reciprocally in its longitudinal direction by this vibrating device 3. The vibration device 3 can be configured in any way as long as it can provide such reciprocating vibrations, but usually it can be configured simply as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 1, the vibration trough 1
A base 4 is attached to the back surface of the base 4, and a frame 5 is further attached to the base 4, and the frame 5 is made of spring steel or other elastic material. Further, the upper ends of a pair of support arms 6 are pivotally connected to the frame member 5, while the lower ends of each support arm 6 are pivotally connected to a base 7, and on top of that, an actuating arm 8 is attached to one of the arms G. , the actuating arm 8 is connected to a drive device (not shown). In this way, the vibration device i! 3, when the frame member 5 is made of an elastic material such as spring steel, the actuating arm 8
By reciprocatingly operating in the direction of the arrow, the vibrating trough 1 vibrates reciprocally in its longitudinal direction, and this vibration is harmonized by the frame material 5, so that the food on the vibrating trough 1 is During this time, vibrations of a certain period are constantly supported and the fluid flows, and in particular, it temporarily stagnates at the weir 2, and the surface is appropriately sprinkled with powder and granular materials.

To explain in more detail, the vibrating trough 1 is vibrated toward the discharge port at the other end as described above. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 3, the food 9 moves toward the other end while shifting, and the powder and granules 10 also move along the surface of the vibrating trough 1 toward the outlet at the other end due to vibration. Moving.

However, at least one weir 2 is provided in the middle of each passage of the vibrating trough 1. Therefore, the food 9 and the powder and granular material 10 are temporarily stopped at the weir 2, and the food 9 temporarily stays there while rotating, and the powder and granular material 10 accumulates at the weir 2. In short, during this residence, the food 9 rotates while being embedded in the powder 10 at the weir 2, and the surface of the food 9 is well and evenly coated with the powder 10. Once the surface is covered to some extent, the resistance on the surface of the food 9 becomes small, and moreover,
Pushed by the following food 9, the food 9 climbs over the weir 2, is rolled in this way at each of the ebbs 2, and sequentially moves to the outlet at the other end, so that the surface of the food is sprinkled with powder and granules 10. It is discharged in a state that is

It is preferable that the bottom plate 1b is made of a net-like material so as to impart rotation to the food product 9 through appropriate friction, but it does not necessarily have to be made of a net-like material as long as rotation is imparted.

Furthermore, when the Tama/S Niji device configured as described above is incorporated into an automated line as shown in FIG. 4, powder and granular materials can be recovered and reused.

That is, in FIG. 4, for convenience of explanation, only the vibrating trough 1 is shown in the twisting/nulling device, and the grate 11, collection conveyor 12, packet conveyor 13, and chute conveyor 14 are arranged around the vibrating trough 1. It is deployed. More specifically, a grate 11 is provided at the discharge port at the other end of the photographing trough 1, and the grate 11 separates the surface-crushed food 9a from the powdery material 10.

The particulate matter 10 is collected under the grate 11 and collected. This collected powder and granular material 10 is lifted by a collection conveyor 12 and is thrown into a packet conveyor 13 attached to the tip of this collection conveyor 12. Since the packet conveyor 13 is provided with a packet 13a, the powdery material 10 is further lifted to a level slightly higher than the supply port at one end of the vibrating trough 1.

Then, the powder and granular material 10 is supplied to the supply port of the vibrating l/ruff 1 via the chute conveyor 14, and is again supplied to the vibrating trough 1.
Above, the powder or granular material 10 is provided for sprinkling food 9.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained in detail above, the present invention is a device for removing powder and granules on the surface of food, and furthermore, the powder and granules supplied from one end are discharged from the other end, and the powder and granules are removed from the surface of the food. a vibrating trough in which food is placed on the granular material; at least one weir provided in the vibrating trough so as to intersect with the flow direction of the powder granular material; The present invention is characterized by comprising a vibrating device that gives directional and reciprocating vibrations.

Therefore, vibrations are imparted to the vibrating trough. Therefore, the food moves toward the outlet at the other end while being transferred, and the powder and granules also move toward the outlet at the other end along the surface of the vibrating trough due to vibration. Furthermore, since at least one weir 2 is provided in this vibrating trough, the food and the powder and granules are temporarily stopped at this weir, where the food temporarily remains while rotating, and Powder and granules accumulate on the surface of the food, and as the food rotates while being embedded in the granules, the powder and granules adhere to the surface, and as a result, the powder and granules are well and evenly ground. .
