<Prior art> As is well known, as citizens' lives become more affluent, their dietary habits are not limited to the primitive eating habits such as simply maintaining health, increasing physical strength, and growing and nurturing, but also include appreciation of taste and appearance. The recent gourmet boom, etc. is also promoting these.

Therefore, when it comes to indigenous foods, not only Japanese cuisine but also Western cuisine, Chinese cuisine, which is extremely excellent not only in taste but also in appearance, is receiving renewed attention. In real life, eating habits are gradually becoming more and more common.

In such Chinese cuisine, the so-called shark roe, meat buns,
There are shumai, etc., but recently Chinese food such as Zhen Zhu Wan's and Menpao Wan's, so-called Kyoto-style Sanhua (three types of dim sum of Qi Su San Hua) dishes, etc. have started to appear. As a result, not only Chinese restaurants but also department stores and other grocery stores are selling products that can be enjoyed simply by heating them at home. , it has become desirable to have a stable supply of items that are worthy of appreciation.

However, in such foods such as Chinese cuisine, the entire surface of spherical and other soft material foods such as meat balls is coated with sticky rice, sesame seeds, and even finely diced bread crumbs and finely ground fruits such as almonds. Although powdered and granular materials are becoming more and more popular, nuclide foods have traditionally been made by hand and have a soft, delicate quality that requires extremely high skill. It is backed by special technology, and on the contrary, these manufacturing difficulties tend to fuel the gourmet boom.

Therefore, as a matter of course, on the supply side, as mentioned above, it is necessary to obtain a stable mass production supply.
The invention of the No. 2 publication, etc. has been developed to intermittently supply soft material foods such as meatballs to powdered granules such as sticky rice at predetermined intervals,
We have developed a technology for mass production by moving a plate conveyor with a rack in the transport direction to cover the entire surface of flexible food with powder.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, the existing technology in the industry, including the prior invention of the nuclide applicant, has not been able to solve the problem of handmade soft and subtle tastes or the application of powder to the surface of food made from flexible powder. It has the disadvantage that it is not possible to obtain the soft texture of the so-called standing covered state, and it is difficult to compete with handmade supplies.

Even if one of the taste and appearance is satisfied, there is a dissatisfaction that the other cannot be satisfied. However, the stable supply of products could not be competed with the prices of hand-made products, and the emergence of a complete mass production system was therefore highly desirable.

<Purpose of the Invention> The purpose of the invention of this application is to solve the technical problem of coating foods such as meatballs and other flexible materials based on the above-mentioned prior art in which the entire surface is coated with powder. In terms of taste and external appearance, it can fully compete with handmade foods that have a soft and rich texture, and can be produced in a stable mass production system at low cost.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved food coating method and apparatus which will benefit the manufacturing technology applications in the food industry by allowing the distribution market to be supplied in sufficient quality.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the structure of the invention of this application, which is based on the scope of the above-mentioned patent claims, is to supply a powdered material such as sticky rice. A uniform thickness layer with a predetermined width is transferred from the device to the belt conveyor, or
The flexible material is conveyed in a striped manner in a wavy position transversely to the conveyance direction, and on the other hand, a flexible material formed into a predetermined spherical shape such as a meatball on a powdered material such as a belt-shaped sticky rice. Food is fed and fed at predetermined intervals, and the covering device at a predetermined portion is oscillated in parallel to a belt conveyor such as a net at a predetermined height, that is, at the covering height of the flexible material food and the granular material. The moving device is linked to the drive device to give a planar circular motion, etc. in the conveying direction, thereby giving a planar spiral motion, etc. in the conveying direction, and the flexible material food is produced by a belt conveyor and a planar rocking device. The powder and granules are uniformly distributed over the entire surface through the spiral rolling motion of the powder, and maintain a soft feel in an upright position, giving a covering effect.After covering, the powder is transported from a belt conveyor to a sorting device. The battered food and surplus powder and granules are sorted out, and the battered food is transported to the next stage of freezing, etc., and the powder and granules are returned by the belt conveyor of the return conveyor and then removed. A predetermined amount of powder is stored in a receiving hopper at the end of the bucket and is automatically supplied to the bucket through the opening and closing of a damper by the bucket of the bucket conveyor, which circulates between the powder and granule supply device. A technical measure has been taken in which the granules are reversed and supplied by a cam mechanism in the supply hopper of the granule supply device, and are supplied to the belt conveyor in a predetermined width by the damper.

<Example> Next, an example of the invention of this application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The illustrated embodiment is used, for example, when dressing food in the manufacturing process of so-called Kyoto-style Sanhua (three kinds of dim sum of Qi Su San Hua) dishes such as Chinese food Zhen Zhu Wan's and Noodle Bao Wan's. , as shown in FIG. 15, mochi rice powder is coated on the entire surface of a soft material food 1 such as a meatball formed into a spherical shape in a predetermined conventional manner in a standing state. is the mode of the food 3, and the device 4 for coating the food 3 shown in Fig. 1.2 is movable on the base 5 by caster rollers 6, 6, etc., and is mounted on the frame 7 and then It is connected to a belt conveyor 8 that conveys the material to the freezing process of the stage, and its mechanism can be roughly divided into a powder supply device 10, which has a covering device 9 provided approximately in the center and facing the base thereof. A belt conveyor 11 for supplying the soft material food 2 is connected to the covering device 9 at the front thereof, and a belt conveyor 11 for supplying the soft material food 2 is connected at the front end thereof, and a belt conveyor 8 for the freezing process is connected at the end thereof. A sorting device 12 is provided for the purpose, and a belt conveyor 3 for returning surplus powder and granules is provided from the tip of the belt conveyor 3, the end of which is a receiving hopper 1.
4, the bucket conveyor 15 of the transfer conveyor is installed vertically between the powder and granular material supply device 10.

To explain each mechanism in detail, as shown in Fig. 1.2, the belt conveyor 16 of the covering device 9 and the return belt conveyor 13 provided in parallel below it are connected to the base thereof, and At the tip side, power is transmitted to the sprocket 18 of the motor 7 as a drive device provided on the frame 7 and each sprocket 19, 20 through a chain 21 so that the motor rotates. ,
As shown in FIG. 5, the lower driving sprocket 24 and the upper driven sprocket 2 are connected via the sprocket mechanism 23.
The bucket conveyor 15 is configured to synchronously go around a pair of chains 26.26 of the bucket conveyor 15, which are suspended from the bucket conveyor 15. As shown in FIG.
is normally suspended upward via the lower center of gravity and is rotatable, so as to orbit in the attitude shown in FIG. 6.

Further, on the back surface of the bucket 27, a pin 28' is planted and fixed on the lower side and a pin 281 on the upper side diagonally above and below the pin 28.

As shown in FIG. 7, the receiving hopper 14 provided facing the tip of the return conveyor 13 has a damper 30 as a shutter vertically disposed opposite to the bucket conveyor 15 as the transfer conveyor. A roller 31 is provided near the lower end of the roller 31 and moves up and down with a stroke up to a stopper 32 at the upper part, opens the lower end in the raised position, returns it to the bucket 27, and supplies the powder and granular material 2 to the bucket 27. When the rubber block 33 provided near one side of the opening 29 of the bucket 27, which is raised from below by the chain 26, 26 of the conveyor 15, comes into contact with the roller 31, the bucket 2
7 rises, the damper 30 rises, and the receiving hopper 1
The returned powder 2 stored with the lower part of the hopper 4 open is fed into the bucket 27, and when the damper 30 comes into contact with the upper stopper 32 of the receiving hopper 14 and reaches the stroke end,
Since the rubber bracket 33 is in contact with the roller 31, as the chain 26 rises, the bucket 27 rotates slightly via the pin 28, disengaging from the roller 31, and the damper 30 descends due to its own weight. Returning to the original closed position, the bucket 27 returns to the initial position and ascends, approaching the powder supply device 10.

As shown in FIG. 5.8, in the powder supply device 10, the bucket conveyor 15 of the supply hopper 34 is
A side-view fan-shaped movable chute 36 is provided in the side facing portion via a pin 35 and a coil spring (not shown), which is normally biased to an open position and can be freely closed within the supply hopper 34. Therefore, the bucket 27 fed with the powder 2 from the receiving hopper 14 rises, and the rubber bracket 33 at its upper end presses the movable chute 36 from below to provide a kind of cam action and push the pin 35. The bucket 27 acts in the direction of closing the center, and the movable chute 36
When the pin 35 passes through and rises, a coil spring (not shown) provided on the pin 35 causes the pin 35 to return to a position protruding toward the bucket conveyor 15 side.

As shown in FIG. 8, cams 37 and 38 in two stages, upper and lower, are fixed to a guide rail (not shown) of the bucket conveyor 15 directly above the supply hopper 34, and the lower cam 28, a pin 28' as a cam follower on the lower side of the bucket 27, and a pin 28' as a cam follower on the upper side of the bucket 27.
7 is provided with a pin 28' as an upper cam follower, the former being engaged first and the latter being engaged later.

Therefore, when the bucket 27 passes through the movable chute 36 and is raised by the chain 26.26, the pin 28' comes into close contact with the cam 38 from the state shown in FIG. Bucket 2 through 28
7 to the right side in the figure, rise to the mouth position, and further,
The bucket 27, which transitions from the open state to the state C, and then to the second state, is rotated to a substantially horizontal position and begins to drop the stored powder and granular material 2 into the open movable chute 36, and the bucket 27 moves to the second state. At this point, the other pin 28' engages with the cam 37 and further rotates the bucket to the right, changing from the state 2 to the state E, and the bucket 27 is rotated 180 degrees by the cam 37 and pin 28'.
It assumes an inverted position, releases and drops the stored powder and granular material 2 into the open movable chute 36, and rotates in the reverse direction from the state E, in which the pin 28 separates from the cam 37, to the state E,
Alternatively, due to the inertia of the previous right turn, the robot continues to turn to the right and changes from the state to the state shown in (G), that is, the initial attitude and the suspended attitude due to the low center of gravity, and goes around the driven sprocket 25. It's like that.

The powder and granular material supplied to the powder and granular material supply device 10 has its damper 38 adjusted in advance by a manual adjustment device (not shown) in its opening amount, as shown in FIG.
Due to the waveform formation on the lower edge (not shown), as shown in FIG. 12, the material is discharged in a rack shape 39 in the width direction and is conveyed in a striped manner in the direction along the belt conveyor 16, and is not affected by the conveyance vibration. As shown in FIG. 13, the material is corrugated 39' in the width direction to form a striped conveyance shape.

Therefore, the shape of the powder on the belt conveyor 16 plays an extremely important role in covering the entire surface of the next-stage soft material food 2.

In the covering device 9, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the sub-frames 40 and 40, which are U-shaped in front view, stand upright from the frame 7 at a predetermined distance in the front and rear directions. These subframes 40.40 are provided with longitudinal beams 4
1, and lateral sub-beams 41', 41' are provided with front and rear bearings 42, 42' standing upright, and another motor 17' as a drive device provided on the frame 7.
sprocket 18', drive sprocket 19'
Power is transmitted via a chain 21' between the
Further, as shown in FIG. 1.2, the sprocket 19' is connected to the sprocket via a belt pulley mechanism 43 that converts vertical power into lateral power transmission, and a rotating shaft (not shown) mounted on a bearing 42. 19' is provided with a planar rotational action, and the planar rotational power is transmitted via the chain 22' between the driven sprocket 19', which is provided to the bearing 42' at the contact part via a rotating shaft (not shown). .

1. Bearings 42 and 42' are connected to the drive sprocket 19' and the driven sprocket 191 via a rotating shaft (not shown).
As shown in FIG. 3.4, pins 45' and 45' at the front and rear ends of a link 45, which is provided over a predetermined length 58 along the longitudinal direction between the disks 44 and 44', are mounted on the disks 44 and 44'.
It is provided eccentrically at an angle of 4.44', and as a kind of four-point link, maintains a posture parallel to the longitudinal direction and imparts a circular swing in a plan view.

In the longitudinal direction of the link 45, as shown in FIG. 4, coil spring cushions 46, 46'
A bar 41.47' extends downwardly through a pair of sub-beams 48.48', and a pair of downwardly directed frames 49.49 having a sled shape in plan view are extended between their upper edges. A mesh net body 50 having a size larger than the size of the powdered sticky rice of the flexible material food 2 is suspended, and therefore, as shown in FIG. The belt conveyor 16 is shaped like a downward U-shape when viewed from the front, and is suspended so that the distance between the net body 50 and the belt conveyor 16 corresponds to the diameter of the battered food 3, thereby forming a plane swinging device 51. As shown in FIG. 11, the plane swinging device 51 is given a circular motion 52 parallel to the belt conveyor 16 as a whole, and due to the vector with the conveyance direction 53 of the belt conveyor 16, as shown in FIG. Similarly, the soft material food 1 draws a spiral trajectory in a plan view while being subjected to the action of glutinous rice 2 and moves the palms of the hands in a circular motion. A soft material food such as a meatball in between is rotated by a powder 2 to give a rolling action and a covering action to obtain a reliable spherical battered food 3.

In this case, as described above, as shown in FIG. 13, the belt of sticky rice 2 that is conveyed in a striped manner with a waveform 39' formed in the width direction of the belt conveyor 16 is conveyed by the belt of the flexible material food supply device. When the circular motion 52 shown in FIG. 11 is imparted to the flexible material food 1 fed by the conveyor 11, a rough oscillating motion is imparted at the initial stage of rolling, thereby ensuring that the mochi rice 2 As shown in FIG. 15, when the soft material food 1 is covered with sticky rice, the sticky rice is covered in a so-called standing state, and a soft coating effect can be imparted to the food 3. It has also been confirmed experimentally.

Thus, the circular motion 52 of the planar swing device 51 that imparts the planar spiral motion 54 is caused by the rotation of the belt conveyor 1.
In the process of drawing a spiral trajectory 54 by the circular motion 52 of the powder 2 and the mesh 50 on the 6, as described above, the soft material food 1 of the mochi rice 2 is However, during this time, due to the striped conveyance state of the powder and granular material 2 from upstream to downstream, only a soft covering action is given to the glutinous rice 2 in a standing state as described above. First, since the mesh of the net body 50 is larger than the size of the sticky rice 2, it can hold the sticky rice 2 that is sprinkled on the flexible material food 1 while it is standing without disturbing the standing condition. , to ensure uniform mabuze action by transferring workers.

During this time, from the upstream to the downstream, the striped mochi rice 2 gradually loses the striped shape of the waveform 39' shown in FIG. The food 3 to be prepared is produced by moving the above-mentioned planar spiral movement 54 by moving the striped sticky rice 2 of the belt conveyor 16 and the net body 50 in a spiral trajectory 54 to ensure that the standing sticky rice 2 is soft and uniform 75'X In addition, a dressing effect will be performed.

In addition, since the flexible material food 1 conveyed on the sticky rice 2 on the belt conveyor 16 is fed at predetermined intervals, the frame 49
．． Even during the swinging motion of the spiral locus 54 during the period 49, there is no interference with the frame 49, 49. Also, during this period, the flexibility of the upper surface of the sticky rice 2 conveyed from upstream to downstream in a striped manner Spiral trajectory 5 of the position of material food 1
4, the upstream side is slightly imaged in the lateral direction, but the surface swinging device 51 is moved by the cushion 46 by the sub-beams 48 and 48' to capture the food 3 placed next.
．． Because of the elasticity absorbed by the coil spring 46', the reaction force of the food 3 reliably maintains the spherical shape of the food 3, and the food 3 is conveyed without any loss of its spherical shape.

As shown in FIG. 3.4, since the downstream end of the planar swinging device 51 faces the belt conveyor 16 and the sorting device 12, the waste is discharged from the end of the planar swinging device 51. The next ranked food 3 and the remaining glutinous rice 2 are sieved by the forks 55, 55, etc. of the sorting device 12, and each next ranked food 3 is passed through the next rank. The sieved mochi rice 2 is passed onto the belt conveyor 8 leading to the freezing process in the stage, and the falling sieved sticky rice 2 is reversely conveyed by the belt conveyor 13 in the return @7 and sent to the receiving hopper 14 as shown in Fig. 5. It will be brought in.

The glutinous rice 2 put into the receiving hopper 14 is thrown in and raised by the opening of the damper 30 via the rubber block 33 at the upper end of the bucket 27 of the bucket conveyor 15 as a transfer device. Rubber block 33
When the lower end of the damper 30 comes out of contact with the roller 31 due to a slight rotation of the bucket 27 relative to the pin 28,
The damper 30 closes again, and in the meantime, the sticky rice 2 falling from the damper 30, which is slightly closed, is already thrown into the bucket 27 that has arrived at the bottom, and in this way, the sticky rice 2 is supplied without polluting the surrounding area. The loaded bucket 27 further rises and approaches the movable chute 36 of the powder supply device 10 from below, and the rubber block 33 comes into contact with it and the pin 35
The movable chute 36 is pushed inward against a coil spring (not shown) centering on the pin 35, and when it rises above the movable chute 36, the movable chute 36 projects toward the bucket conveyor 15 side by the coil spring (not shown) centering on the pin 35, and is received. As shown in FIG. 9, the bucket 27 containing the mochi rice 2 is in the A state with the pin 28' serving as a cam follower coming into contact with the cam 38 attached to the guide rail of the bucket conveyor 15. Then, as it rises to the state of A, it begins to turn right in the diagram around the pin 28, and further rises from the state of A to the state of 2, and as the rotation progresses, other cam followers The movable pin 28' engages with the other upper cam 37 and is forcibly rotated 180 degrees from the second state to the E state so that the mochi rice 2 stored therein is opened and waiting at the lower side. shoot 36
The bucket conveyor 1 is discharged upward, returns from the state E to state G, and returns to its original position due to its own weight, or continues to rotate due to the inertia force during the rotation and returns from the state E to the state G.
It circulates through the driven sprocket 25 of No. 5.

In this way, the surplus sticky rice 2 sorted from the sorting device 12
is returned to the powder supply device 10 and circulated.

As described above, by providing a receiving hopper on the return conveyor of the device for returning powder and granular material from the sorting device and interposing a bucket conveyor in the supply hopper of the upper powder and granular material supply device, as in the conventional manner, There is no need to provide a return conveyor for a long time on an upward slope for return supply, and therefore the powder and granules do not fall off the conveyor due to vibrations during the long return conveyance process, and can be returned reliably.

Therefore, the mochi rice circulates in a kind of closed cycle, but naturally the amount of mochi rice supplied on the belt conveyor 16 decreases over time due to the covering effect. The tip of the belt conveyor faces the hopper 34 of the powder supply device 10, so that the amount of reduction can be guaranteed periodically or irregularly.

The control is performed by a photoelectric sensor (not shown) facing the belt conveyor 16, and such a design will not present any difficulty for those skilled in the art.

It goes without saying that the embodiments of the invention of this application are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In order to use multiple types of meshes, it is necessary to prepare multiple types in advance, adjust the spring constant of the cushion 46, or change the shape of the lower edge of the damper of the powder supply device to the above-mentioned waveform. The screen may be changed to a predetermined shape, or it may be made flat so that it does not form stripes, an electromagnetic imaging device may be attached to the sorting device, or the screen may be Instead, various embodiments can be adopted, such as using a concavo-convex plate in which concavo-convex portions of a predetermined size are uniformly formed downward, or using a flat plate depending on the target food.

Furthermore, when feeding the powder or granular material in a striped manner, it is also possible to form stripes intermittently.

In addition, in terms of design changes, it is also possible to change the lateral movement of the planar oscillation device from a spiral to a zigzag pattern, instead of making the lateral oscillation a circular motion. Of course.

Furthermore, a movable chute 3 for transporting the powder and granular material 2 from the bucket 27
In place of the cam and pin, a rack is provided on the frame side of the chain 26 and a binion is provided on the bucket 27 side, and the two engage with each other at a predetermined stroke to rotate the bucket 27. Also good.

The applicable foods are not only those of the so-called Kyoto-style Sanhua (three types of dim sum such as Qi Su San Hua) dishes such as Chinese cuisine such as Zhen Zhu Wan's and Yamian Bao Wan's, but also spherical and other foods. In addition to glutinous rice, various powders such as bread crumbs, sesame seeds, grains, ground almonds, and adzuki beans can be made. Of course, it is also possible to use various types of soft material foods other than meatballs and the like as the flexible material food.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the invention of this application, the so-called Kyoto-style Sanhua (three kinds of dim sum of Qi Su San Hua), such as Chinese cuisine Zhen Zhu Wan's and Subao Maru's, etc. ) When dressing a soft material food such as a food for cooking by covering the powder or granule, the soft material food supplied to the powder or granule conveyed by a belt conveyor is applied as if between the palms of both hands. By applying a covering effect that is essentially the same as when food is lightly pinched and rolled, the food maintains a predetermined three-dimensional shape, such as a sphere, as designed, while keeping the powder or granules in a so-called standing state. It is possible to uniformly coat the powder and granules on the soft material food of the obtained food, as described above, with each powder and granule standing up in a soft manner similar to manual coating. There is a feeling,
When tasting it, it has the excellent effect of providing the original soft texture and subtle taste of the soft material food and powder.

Moreover, since the appearance of the powder and granules is reduced from the standing state produced by conventional mechanical equipment, and because it is not in the Sζ state, it has the excellent effect of being able to exhibit the same texture as that produced by hand. Ru.

In addition, in the plane rocking device, by using a mesh as the plane rocking device for the powder or granules of the belt conveyor, in the process of performing the covering action, the powder or granules can be kept in a standing state with respect to the flexible material food. It has an excellent effect of being able to maintain the fogging effect.

In this way, both in principle and in practice, manual dressing has the advantageous effect of presenting a food product with no deterioration in taste or appearance.

In addition, by adjusting the damper of the powder supply device, it is possible to feed the powder and granules being conveyed on the belt conveyor in a striped state such as a waveform in the width direction. The transfer of the powdery, granular, flexible material food during planar rocking, such as spiral movement, of the material food is initially in a lumpy state, and primarily during the covering action on the powdery, granular, flexible material food. It is possible to sprinkle powder and granules in an upright position while maintaining their spherical shape, etc., and in the middle stage, powder and granules can be sprinkled in the same standing position so that they fit between the powder and granules that have been sprinkled appropriately. In addition, in the final stage, the standing powder particles can be uniformly adjusted and formed into a spherical shape, etc., which is an excellent effect.

In particular, for food that maintains its spherical shape, the above-mentioned effects work extremely effectively, making it possible to stably mass-produce food that has the same shape and flavor as hand-crafted food, while maintaining sanitary conditions. In order to be able to supply food while reliably preserving it, so-called Kyoto-style three flowers (Kyoto-style three flowers), such as high-class Chinese dishes such as Zhen Zhu Wan's and Menpao Wan's, are used not only in restaurants but also at home. This provides an excellent effect of allowing you to enjoy the food such as the three types of dim sum (Chee Soo San Hua) dishes.
