Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Application of the Invention) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing rice crackers, in particular, by using a novel punching tool, it is possible to give the object a unique and tasteful appearance. The present invention relates to a method of molding blocks that can be produced.

(Background) I (arare) and okaki (okaki) have been popular for a long time as traditional American and British foods made from glutinous rice, and are essential not only as snack foods but also as beer photos. These π classes (``kasumi'' and ``kasumi'' are also ``
Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between the two, and in some regions, the two are called interchangeably, so hereafter, both will be collectively referred to as "π" and Qfbu. There are two methods: cutting the mochi dough into pieces and cutting it out with a mold.

According to Moesha, it has an hourglass shape such as a plate, rod, or grain shape.

It is only possible to make products with a shape, and the productivity is not high.Therefore, today, with some special exceptions, punching by A-machines is the mainstream.

(Disadvantages of the Prior Art) However, the mechanical punching method has the disadvantage that it generates a large amount of punching waste and the problem that it is difficult to give a pattern or the like to the surface of the product.

Of the above two problems, the inventor has already obtained the first patent regarding the former.
'+50001 (Special Publication No. 57-1217) was completed and succeeded in reducing the generation of punching waste to a minimum, but it was not possible to add shapes such as patterns to the surface of the product. .

(Object of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to provide a means for attaching an arbitrary shape to a product, following the above-mentioned earlier invention.

(Means for achieving the object) In order to achieve the above object, the rock forming method according to the present invention involves forming a sheet of mochi dough into a continuous sheet having a cutting edge shape corresponding to the outline of the haze to be formed. A punching blade that extends from the cutting edge of the blade and/or separately from the blade into the area surrounded by the contour line, and that does not correspond to the various geometrical elements of the object and has a non-circular independent shape. It is characterized by punching with a die equipped with a cutting blade. That is, the punching die used in the present invention is
It consists of the combination of the following elements.

(2) A continuous punching blade having a shape corresponding to the outline of 'f1 (hail) to be formed is provided.

The punching blade of ■■ extends roughly from the cutting edge of the blade and/or separately ffl from the blade into the area surrounded by the above contour line, and also has independent punching blades corresponding to various graphical elements of the target rock. Must be equipped with a cutting blade.

[Component] The above elements will be explained below.

■ Punching blade: A punching blade is a molded body with a continuous blade that follows the contour of the die to be molded. This item may be made to form a set of cutters (dies) with a corresponding lower blade, similar to a metal plate punching die, but since the object to be punched is a flexible mochi dough, Preferably, it is configured as a parting knife with only an upper blade as in the embodiment described later. In this case, a soft material 4 such as a wooden board or a rubber board is used as the lower backing plate. In particular, the rubber plate is excellent as a constituent material for the backing plate, since it can also serve as a conveyor belt.

The cutter is composed of an annular support member and a blade forming the front part of the member, similar to the conventional punching die, and the tip of the blade has a single-edged or double-edged cutting edge corresponding to the outer shape of the target haze. Be prepared.

As a particularly preferred structure for practical use, it is recommended that a plunger is provided inside the cutter and the molded body is forcibly ejected by the plunger. Note that the cutting edge does not need to be particularly sharp since the object is soft mochi dough.

Although the contour shape of the cutting edge is arbitrary, in practice, it should be a shape that does not easily generate punching waste, such as a diamond shape, in - times of punching process.

In order to increase productivity, it is preferable to use a shape in which the length range of the raw material is punched out all at once, or in which the remaining part of the previous punch is punched out in the next punch, such as in a spindle type. be. Specific examples include fish-shaped (eg, horse mackerel, yellowtail, tuna, bonito, etc.), shrimp, large leaf-shaped (eg, maple, cherry, etc.), fan-shaped, heart-shaped, etc. Note that it is preferable that the punching die be manufactured as an assembly of unit dies.

■ Cutting edge: The presence of a cutting edge is an important feature in the invention. This thing extends from the cutting edge of the chestnut cutter and/or separately from the cutter into the area surrounded by the above contour line, and is used to make cuts for giving desired various shapes (shapes, patterns, etc.) to the molded product. (a narrow slit that passes through the fabric from the top to the bottom). The number and shape of wooden swords should be freely designed depending on the purpose, but the individual cutting blades.

・A non-circular straight line and/or curve must be formed from the cutting edge of the cutter in (2) and/or toward the contour surrounded by the cutting edge line (contour line) regardless of the cutting edge, i.e. , it is necessary that the cutting edges do not touch each other, connect with the contour line, or form an annular shape.

As explained in the "Effects" section below, the expansion that occurs when the dough is roasted is prevented by the incisions (
In other words, expansion does not occur at the notch part).By designing the shape of this (or these) notches according to the purpose, for example, it is possible to create fish eyeballs, lobes, fin rays or fin notches, and gaps. It is possible to model bones, veins of leaves, or cuts in the greenery of a tree through pixels such as unevenness, striations, or sharp defects. As a result, the haze formed according to the present invention has a three-dimensional expressiveness that was not possible with conventional haze, making it extremely tasteful.

[Manufacturing] The manufacturing method of the haze according to the present invention is almost the same as the conventional haze manufacturing method, except that the structure of the punching die is different. That is, the pre-cooked rice is milled, rolled out into flakes with rolls, punched out with the punching die, and then roasted or rehydrated to form a product. At this time, seasonings such as soy sauce, miso, sugar, salt, etc.; flavorings such as cheese, patter, cream, etc. 4. Capsicum, koshiyo, clove, laurel, pimento (allspice), onion, nutmeg, cinnamon, Spices such as paprika and vanilla, and flavoring agents such as moss, green laver, shrimp powder, sesame seeds, crushed pieces of beans and nuts are mixed into the crushed raw material or punched out according to the properties of each material. Sprayed on 1 (i or sprinkled).

[Apparatus] The method of the present invention may be carried out using a hand press on a very small scale. An automatic machine consisting of a cutter with an ejecting plunger attached to a movable member is preferably used. In this case, the mochi dough that is placed on the conveyor and sent intermittently is punched out by the cutter that has descended to a position directly below the cutter while the conveyor is stopped, and then fits into the cutter. The clump of material to be formed is ejected by the movement of the conveyor or blade attachment device itself and the lowering of the plunger and collected in a collection container or on a collection conveyor, and then
Cycle t! in which the conveyor or blade attachment device returns to the punching position and waits for the next punch! Repeated. Of course,
The fabric must be fed out a predetermined length before the next punching operation is performed. In addition, in the above device, the plunger for discharging the punched fabric remaining in the cutter does not necessarily accumulate the pressing force received by the drive lunger due to power as the anti-compression force of the spring, and the spring is released. By utilizing the repulsive force generated when the punch is pressed, the punched outer material can be discharged to a lateral collecting means. Incidentally, in medium-sized equipment, the conveyor may move together with the feed roll, but in large-scale equipment, it is easier to swing the blade attachment device along the conveying surface in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. be.

When the rich dough (2) formed with the punching die of the present invention is roasted or aburukidened, almost no expansion occurs in the cut portion 141, but expansion occurs in the other portions 151, and the degree of expansion is higher. becomes larger as the distance from the notch 141 increases. Therefore, unevenness is formed in the haze (3) of the product across the notch 141. That is, as is clear from FIGS. 5 and 6, Three-dimensional unevenness appears as if it were a fish's eye (E) or !?1 (F).Furthermore, the notch 141 and the fabric f2]
Since the expansion is particularly significant in the region sandwiched between the end edges of the molded article, a molded article with a fish mouth (M) as shown in FIG. 4 is obtained. Such an effect is unexpected and could not have been predicted from experience with conventional manufacturing methods, and it is clear that it significantly enhances the taste of the product Kasumi (3).

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of implementing the invention will be described using an example, but the example is merely for explanation and does not limit the connotation or extension of the spirit of the invention.

In reality, the cutlery shown in Figs.
It is moved in the longitudinal direction in increments of quarter length. Therefore,
In the first punching, a wide cloth corresponding to the blades (10A-10G) is punched, and in the next punching, a wide cloth corresponding to the blades (100-10E) is punched out, and no loss occurs.

(Effects) As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to commercially provide a new hobby-oriented rock, thereby contributing to the consumer's life.
