Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Object of the Invention> Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a continuous manufacturing device for Watsufuru and other confectionery, and more specifically, for example, a device for continuously manufacturing Watsufuru and other confectionery. The confectionery to be formed is automatically baked through various processes such as baking the dough on a baking board, removing the baking dough from the baking mold recess, placing the contents on the baking dough, and combining the baking dough. Continuous manufacturing equipment that can produce

This manufacturing apparatus can continuously and automatically manufacture any type of confectionery other than Watsuful, such as Ningyo-yaki, which has an uneven pattern on the surface of the baked dough.

Conventional technology Traditionally, one of the most popular Western confectionery is the waffle.This waffle is a confectionery made by folding an elliptical skin similar to that of a castella cake and wrapping it around a filling such as jam or cream. It is. The characteristic of Watsuful is that it has uneven patterns and letters (hereinafter referred to as uneven patterns, etc.) formed on the surface of the skin. The method is to form the mold as a mold, inject the dough into the recess of the mold, and then bake it. however,
If the baking mold has a recess like a mouth, it is extremely difficult to smoothly peel the baked dough from the recess unless oil as a mold release agent is evenly applied to the recess.

This hole shows that although Watsuful is a confectionery that is consumed by human beings, it is not produced automatically in a continuous flow, and is usually handmade, and even if it is automated, it is only semi-automatic at best. . In other words, the manufacturing process for Watsuful includes pouring the dough into the baking mold cavity, baking, removing the baked dough from the baking mold cavity, cooling the baking dough, and placing contents such as jam on the baking dough. It consists of various steps such as , combining the baking dough, etc. .

However, no conventional Watsufule manufacturing apparatus has been proposed that is configured to include all of these processes in a series, and generally only apparatuses that automate only the baking process have been proposed and implemented.

For example, Utility Model Publication No. 131-37268 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6
No. 1-224930 describes a device for removing Watsufuru wrappers from the recesses of baking molds.

In these devices, since the baking mold formed on each endlessly connected baking plate is formed as a recess, the baked dough cannot be peeled off simply by reversing the baking plate.
The baked dough is forcibly peeled off using air, or the baked dough is inserted and lifted with a needle as in manual work, and the baked dough is adsorbed and peeled off in this state.

However, each of the conventional apparatuses is only designed to continuously perform the process of baking the Watsufuru skin, but not to continuously process the entire manufacturing process. Furthermore, although conventional devices have improved only the mechanism for taking out baked dough, if the release agent oil is insufficiently applied, the baked dough cannot be peeled off smoothly, making it difficult for continuous automated lines to do so. It would be unreasonable to incorporate it as a section.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.Specifically, the entire process from baking the dough to wrapping the filling with the baked dough can be carried out continuously, and it is possible to make confectionery such as Watsuful. We propose a continuous manufacturing device that automatically manufactures products.

Therefore, the main points to be solved in completing these continuous manufacturing devices are as follows.

In order to automatically carry out the entire manufacturing process of confectionery such as Watsuful, the baking mold, which is formed as a recess in the baking tray that moves continuously or intermittently during baking, has a three-dimensional structure. For this reason, it is necessary that oil as a mold release agent be automatically and uniformly applied or adhered to the entire surface of the three-dimensional baking mold. However, since the baking mold is a three-dimensional recess,
There are many sidewall parts, and oil does not adhere uniformly to these parts.This problem needs to be solved in conjunction with automation.

Furthermore, when taking out the baked dough from the baking mold, lifting of the baked dough is originally done by inserting a needle, and it is extremely effective to utilize this. However, when taking out the baked dough automatically, the baked dough is easily damaged by inserting the needle C. From this point of view, it is necessary to prevent the baked dough from being damaged when taking out the baked dough with the needle. .

In addition, when combining the baking dough after filling with jam or the like, it is necessary to configure the baking dough so that the baking dough can be combined continuously.

<Structure of the Invention> Means for solving the problem and its operation, that is, the continuous manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention is such that dough is fed from one end into the baking mold recess of a baking plate that moves continuously or intermittently, and Each process, such as baking the dough, taking out the baked dough from the baking mold cavity, cooling, placing the contents on the baked dough, and combining the baked dough, is carried out in an endless manner in a continuous manufacturing device for Watsuful and other confectionery. A baking device that bakes the dough in the baking recesses of a baking plate that is connected and moves continuously or intermittently has a spray device that sprays oil onto the surface of the baking plate that is in the lower return process, and a suction device that sucks up excess oil. and a take-out device adjacent to the other end of the baking device, in which the tip of the conveyor enters the back side of the baked dough when at least a portion of the baked dough is in a lifted state with a needle inserted. and a mouth provided with a curved mating device so that a portion of the conveyor on which both ends of the baked dough loaded with the filling are placed rises on both sides.

Therefore, the structure of these means and their operation will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings as follows.
