Description

Detailed Description of the Invention In order to mechanically realize the principle of hand-baking rice crackers, the present invention provides a group of preheating pots for rice cracker dough discontinuously provided at appropriate intervals, and a group of preheating pots provided at appropriate intervals between the preheating pot groups. A baking pot is used to sandwich and spread the rice cracker dough (commonly known as floating grilling), and a coloring pot is provided discontinuously at appropriate intervals to color the rice cracker dough. In the rice cracker baking apparatus, a pressed box-shaped body with a pattern for creating a baking pattern on the rice cracker dough is placed between the firing pot and the coloring baking pot group, and is movable up and down by a cam. The present invention relates to a pattern baking device for rice crackers using a pressing mold, which is swingably installed in the oven, and makes the rice crackers after passing through a group of colored baking pots into patterned baked rice crackers.

Traditionally, there are Kobai-yaki rice crackers (commonly known as Kawara rice crackers), which are made from wheat flour and have a pattern baked on their surface using a so-called teppanyaki process. Wheat flour kneaded with water is placed in an iron plate frame made of iron plate, the rice cracker is baked with a lid on, and a pattern is placed on the rice cracker taken out. It is something that could not be done.

The present invention has been proposed in order to eliminate such drawbacks in the conventional rice flour rice cracker baking apparatus, and will now be described with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

is a group of preheating pots for rice cracker dough s, with an appropriate number of preheating pots 1,
2 are provided laterally at appropriate intervals d..., respectively. Next to the group of preheating pots, there is a baking pot for pinching and extending rice cracker dough placed horizontally at an appropriate distance D from the preheating pots, and a baking pot for coloring the rice cracker dough is further placed at an appropriate distance D from the preheating pots. It is assumed that a group is provided in which a suitable number of baking pots 3, 4, 5, and 6 are provided horizontally at appropriate intervals d. Inside these preheating pots, baking pots, and coloring pots, there is installed a horizontally long endless wire mesh 7 through which the rice cracker dough is continuously transferred. And preheating pots 1 and 2,
Sandwich firing kettle, kettle group, i.e. coloring kettle 3,
4, 5, and 6 are provided with gas burners (not shown) above and below to sandwich the endless wire mesh 7, and in the baking pot there is another endless wire mesh for sandwiching and transferring the rice cracker dough together with the endless wire mesh 7 for baking. 8 is provided. It is assumed that the endless wire mesh 8 is interlocked with a drive chain 9.

However, in the rice cracker baking apparatus described above, the present invention provides a patterned pusher having the following configuration in order to apply a pattern to the rice cracker dough at a distance D between the rice cracker dough sandwiching, extending baking and baking pot group and the next coloring baking pot group. It is characterized by the attachment of a molded box-like body.

Left and right frames 10 and 11 sandwiching the endless wire mesh 7
In between, a so-called push-type box-like body A is provided facing downward facing the endless wire mesh 7 (FIGS. 2 and 3),
The pressed box-like body A is rotatable in the direction of movement of the endless wire mesh 7, and has hook-shaped hanging portions 12 and 13 at both upper ends thereof.
are pivotally attached to the hanging pieces 14', 14'' of the hanging rod 14, and both ends of the hanging rod 14 are suspended from the frame by hanging springs 15, 16, and vertical guide rods 17 are separately provided at both ends of the hanging rod. , 18 are attached, and the guide rods are attached so as to be able to slide up and down against the horizontal frame 19.Rollers 20, 21 attached to the hanging rods are
One of the cams 22 and 23 is connected to a continuously variable speed motor m separately provided outside the frame by connecting a chain 24 to the rotating cams 22 and 23 provided on the upper part thereof.
The other cam is mounted on a rotating shaft 26 which is linked to the camshaft via a bevel gear 25, and the other cam is mounted on another rotating shaft 28 which is linked to the camshaft by a chain 27. The rotation of these cams moves the hanging rod up and down, thereby making it possible to move the push-type box-like body A, which is pivotally connected to the hanging rod, up and down.

The press-shaped box-like body A is constructed as follows.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a cassette-type box 29 that is long in the width direction of the endless wire mesh 7 and has a trapezoidal cross section stores a heat insulating material 30 such as asbestos inside, and an arcuate wall 31 on the outside. An electric heating plate e is placed inside the arc-shaped wall, and the heater element is completely insulated with a heat-resistant mica plate 33, and this heating element is protected by a stainless steel plate 32 or the like in the shape of a sandwiched arch. A heating source a is attached, and an arc-shaped baking mold 34 is placed outside the heating source a.
is attached by inserting its mounting edge 35 into the restraining edge 36 of the box 29 and fastened with screws 37, and also passing a bar-shaped weight 38 to one side of the hanging parts 12, 13 at both upper ends of the box 29, As shown in FIG. 4, the cassette-type box is assumed to be tilted to one side when it is in a raised state. Appropriate figures, characters, patterns (for example, Fig. 7 D), etc. shall be engraved on the surface of the baking mold.

The stamps 39 of graphic characters, patterns, etc. may be stamped in eight rows, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, or in any other suitable number of rows. Note that 40 is a support roller.

In the present invention configured as described above, the rice cracker dough is placed on the endless wire mesh 7 and transferred from the left to the right in the drawing (Fig. 1). In the heating pots 1 and 2 of the preheating pot group, the upper and lower surfaces are heated with a gas burner for preheating and baking, and once at the interval d, the dough is cooled in air to prevent the occurrence of so-called bubbles, etc., and the dough is made into a baked dough.
Furthermore, in the next extended baking pot, the baked dough is rapidly heated with a large number of gas burners, and is sandwiched between an endless wire mesh 7 and an endless wire mesh 8 above it, extended baked, and transferred to make rice crackers. While the dough is still soft, an appropriate pattern is printed on the surface of the rice cracker dough using a baking mold 34 heated by a heating source of a pressed box-like body having a next baking mold, and then the coloring baking pot group is used. Transfer to each color baking pot 3, 4, 5, 6
The rice crackers are uniformly colored and baked to prevent so-called blistering by air-cooling at a distance of d, and transported, making it possible to produce rice crackers with grilled patterns in an integrated manner.
The branding action is such that, as shown in FIG. , C, and D, the rice crackers are pressed against the moving rice cracker dough by the conveying force of the endless wire mesh and swung, and as shown in FIG. This allows multiple rows to be completed at once.

Therefore, by adjusting the vertical movement speed of the push-type box-shaped body appropriately according to the size of the rice cracker dough, the moving speed of the endless wire mesh, the pitch of the transferred rice crackers, etc., the so-called hard baking and soft baking ( In any case, such as floating grilling, there is no need to replace the baking roll or mold as in the conventional method, and the effect is that patterns can be baked on the rice crackers extremely efficiently.
