Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a split rounding machine used in bread making and confectionery processes.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, in the bread and confectionery process, the kneaded dough is divided into predetermined sizes using a dividing machine to form a dough mass, and then this dough mass is rounded using a rounding machine to seal the cut edges and at the same time, the shape is After smoothing out any irregularities and shaping it into a uniform ball, it is transferred to the next step, an intermediate fermenter. However, when rounding a dough mass using a rounding machine, the dough mass is fed into the input position below the umbrella mold of the rounding machine, and is placed between the umbrella mold and the spiral rounding blades installed above it in a spiral manner. As the umbrella mold rotates, it gradually moves upward while being compressed, and the rounded dough mass is taken out from the upper position of the umbrella mold, but it is impossible to make the distance of this rounding process sufficiently long due to mechanical limitations. There is. Therefore, the applicant of this application first filed the
In Publication No. 18272, on the transfer conveyor that bridges the outlet of the dividing machine and the input port of the rounding machine, two round blades consisting of inverted L-shaped cross-section guide rods are installed orthogonally opposite each other, and A split rounding machine has been proposed which is configured to roll the dough while transporting it along the curved concave surface of the rounding blade. As a result, a certain amount of rounding is performed on the transfer conveyor before reaching the rounding machine, so that there is an advantage that sufficient rounding can be performed even if the rounding distance in the rounding machine is not long.

[Problems with conventional technology]

However, the split rounding machine disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 18272/1972 has a structure in which two rounding blades are appropriately orthogonally opposed to each other on a transfer conveyor, so the structure is complicated and the rounding blades are Because they are perpendicular to each other, the sliding friction force of the dough mass sandwiched between the transfer conveyor and the conveyor increases, which poses the problem of damaging the surface of the dough. Furthermore, since the dough moves between a plurality of round blades, the distance between the dough lumps sent out from the dividing machine at even intervals becomes uneven.
There is a problem in that it interferes with the work in the next bread-making process.

[Means for solving the problem] This invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and its means include a dividing machine that divides the dough into predetermined sizes, and a dividing machine that divides the dough into predetermined sizes. A dividing rounding machine includes a rounding conveyor that rounds the dough while transferring the dough mass to the rounding machine, which is the next process. Above the conveyor, it is inclined with respect to the transfer direction, one end side is located on the dividing machine side and the other end side is located on the rounding machine side, and the longitudinal section has a substantially parabolic shape, and the opening edge side is a straight line facing the dividing machine side. It consists of round feathers.

[Effect]

According to the above means, the straight round blades on the transfer conveyor are inclined with respect to the transfer direction, and one end side is located on the dividing machine side, the other end side is located on the rounding machine side, and furthermore, the opening edge side is located toward the dividing machine side. This arrangement not only simplifies the structure, but also because the angle of inclination of the straight round blades with respect to the transfer conveyor is gentle, the sliding frictional force against the dough mass is small and the surface of the dough is not damaged. Also, the dough sent out from the dividing machine is rounded at equal intervals and sent to the next process.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

The dividing rounding machine 1 of this embodiment includes a dividing machine 2 and a rounding conveyor 4 that bridges between the dividing machine 2 and the rounding machine 3.

The dividing machine 2 includes a hopper 5 into which the dough kneaded in the previous step is placed, a main body 6 which divides the dough supplied from the hopper 5 into predetermined sizes, and a dough divided by the main body 6 and discharged. It consists of a transport conveyor 7 that places the dough mass A on one end side of the round conveyor 4, and these are placed integrally on a frame 8.

The rounding conveyor 4 includes a transfer conveyor 9 that transfers the dough lump A sent out from the transport conveyor 7 of the dividing machine 2 to the rounder 3, and a straight rounding blade 10 that rounds the dough lump A above the transfer conveyor 9. Become. This straight round blade 10 has a substantially parabolic longitudinal section, and its opening edge side is connected to the dividing machine 2 so that one end side is on the dividing machine 2 side and the other end is on the rounding machine 3 side.
It is provided on the transfer conveyor 9 so as to be inclined toward the side.

The rounding machine 3 further rounds the dough mass A transferred from the transfer conveyor 9 of the rounding conveyor 4, and is configured by a drive source (not shown) built into the table 11. An umbrella shape 12 that rotates at a predetermined rotational speed, a spiral round blade 13 arranged in a spiral above the umbrella shape 12, and a spiral round blade 13 that rotates at a predetermined rotational speed.
It consists of a take-out gutter 14 provided at the upper end.

According to the dividing rounding machine 1 of this invention having such a configuration, the dough blocks A divided by the dividing machine 2 are loaded from the transport conveyor 7 onto one end of the transfer conveyor 9 at regular intervals. Then, the dough mass A is transferred by the transfer conveyor 9, but since a linear round blade 10 is provided on the transfer conveyor 9 with the opening edge side facing the dividing machine 2 side, the dough mass A is transferred from the opening edge side to the straight round blade 10. It fits between the blade 10 and the transfer conveyor 9, is compressed, and is rounded while being rotated and sent to the other end. During this time, straight round blade 10
Since A is a straight line, the dough blocks A are rounded while maintaining their spacing. Then, the straight round blade 10 is dropped from the other end onto the umbrella mold 12 of the rounding machine 3, rounded again between the umbrella mold 12 and the spiral round blade 13, and taken out from the take-out gutter 14 for the next process. Sent.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, the divided rounding machine of this invention is designed to round the dough mass to some extent in the process before sending the divided dough mass to the rounding machine. Even when the distance of the rounding process is short, sufficient rounding can be performed. Furthermore, since only one straight round blade is required on the transfer conveyor, the structure is simple and installation is easy, so installation costs can be reduced. Furthermore, since the angle of inclination of the straight round blades with respect to the transfer direction of the transfer conveyor is gentle, the frictional force against the transfer conveyor is also reduced, making it possible to neatly round the dough blocks while maintaining the distance between them without damaging the surface of the dough. can.
