Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention relates to a confectionery dough rolling sheet forming device,
More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus for rolling confectionery dough for biscuits, crackers, snacks, etc. with a dough rolling roll and immediately cutting and forming the dough on the dough rolling roll.

Conventionally, in order to form confectionery dough for regular biscuits, crackers, snacks, etc. into rolled sheets, the confectionery dough was first rolled with counter-rotating confectionery dough rolling rolls 1, 1 using a device as shown in Fig. 1. The rolled sheet is then formed into a rolled sheet that is slightly thicker than the desired thickness, and the rolled sheet is transferred onto an endless belt 2 of canvas, and rolling rolls 3, 3 that rotate oppositely to each other in order to obtain the desired thickness. After rolling, it is rolled again into an endless belt.
4, and then cut and formed using a cutter 5.

However, such conventional equipment requires a large area, and also uses rice flour, alpha flour, etc. When using sticky dough with a high content of xycorn, etc., there are disadvantages such as the rolled sheet spreads and gets caught in the cutter when cutting and forming the rolled sheet, stopping the progress of the subsequent process. .

The present invention improves the various drawbacks of the conventional products as described above, and can easily cut and form not only confectionery dough such as ordinary biscuits, crackers, and snacks, but also highly sticky dough as mentioned above, and can be formed in a small space. The purpose is to provide a device that can be installed in

That is, the present invention includes a dough rolling roll 6 having two smooth rolls 7 and 8 attached facing each other, and a dough feeding hopper 9 provided on the upper part of the dough rolling roll 6.
, a cutter roll 10 provided in contact with one of the smooth rolls 8 at a position below the line connecting the rotation center points A and B of the smooth rolls 7 and 8, and a position behind the cutter roll 10 after cutting the rolled sheet. This confectionery dough rolling sheet forming apparatus is characterized by comprising a scraper 13 provided in sliding contact with a smooth roll 8.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an example of the confectionery dough rolling sheet forming apparatus of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the dough rolling roll 6 consists of two smooth rolls 7 and 8 attached facing each other, and the smooth roll 8 on the side where the rolled sheet is spread is connected to an external motor _M1 that is a driving source. has been done. The two smooth rolls 7 and 8 rotate facing each other, one of which is coated with a fluorine-based resin such as Teflon (trade name, manufactured by Dupont), and the other is made of a bare metal. Alternatively, the roll 8 is made of a smooth roll 8 coated with hard chrome plating, etc., and the distance between the rolls 8 and 8 is adjustable, and a hopper 9 for supplying the dough is provided above the dough rolling roll 6.

The cutter roll 10 is placed at an appropriate position below the line connecting the rotation center points A and B of the smooth rolls 7 and 8, so that it touches one of the smooth rolls 8, that is, the distance between the smooth roll 8 and the cutter roll 10 is zero. When there is no rolling sheet involved, the stress of the smooth roll 8 is applied to the cutter roll 1
The cutting blade 11 of the cutter roll 10 is in contact with a brush 12 connected to an external motor _M2 serving as a drive source.

Further, a scraper 1 is provided in sliding contact with the smooth roll 8 at a position behind the cutter roll 10 with respect to the rotational direction of the smooth roll 8, that is, at a position after cutting the rolled sheet.
3, and an endless belt 14 stretched close to the smooth roll 8 is installed directly below the scraper 13.

Next, to explain the operation of the above-mentioned device, when confectionery dough made by blending various raw materials in desired proportions is fed into the hopper 9, the confectionery dough is rolled by the counter-rotating dough rolling rolls 6. It is formed into a rolled sheet 15. The rolled sheet 15 does not adhere to the smooth roll 7 whose surface is coated with a fluororesin, but spreads uniformly onto the surface of the other smooth roll 8. The spread rolled sheet 15 is placed on the smooth roll 8 and immediately transferred to the cutter roll 10.
It is cut into a desired shape and then peeled off using a scraper 13. The peeled shaped and rolled sheet 16 is transferred onto an endless belt 14 stretched just below the scraper 13 and continuously shaped.
Since the endless belt 14 has a linear speed somewhat higher than the linear speed of the smooth roll 8, the formed and rolled sheets 16 are arranged at equal intervals. On the other hand, the excess dough on the rolled dough sheet after cutting and forming is continuous at least at both ends of the cutter roll 10, so if it is peeled off from the smooth roll 8 in advance at the beginning of cutting, it can be removed continuously thereafter. . On the other hand, chips adhering to the cutting blade 11 of the cutter roll 10 are brushed off by a brush 12 rotated by an external motor _M2 , and the chips are removed from the tray 1.
7 and is recovered.

In the present invention, as described above, the smooth roll 7 coated with fluorine resin is used on one side of the dough rolling rolls, so that the adhesion of the rolled sheet to the roll surface is weakened, and the other side is used as a bare metal. Alternatively, since the smooth roll 8 coated with hard chrome is used, it is possible to easily spread the rolled sheet onto the roll surface.

Moreover, the cutter roll 10 is a smooth roll 7,
Since it is provided at a position below the line connecting the rotation center points A and B of 8, it simplifies the post-processing process of the excess fabric after cutting, and the endless belt 14 for transferring the formed and rolled sheet. Easy to install.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cutter roll 10 and the smooth roll 8 are connected to the cutter roll 10 rotating at the same linear speed as the smooth roll 8 by means of a gear G fitted to the smooth roll 8. Since it is attached at a position below the line connecting A and B so as to be in contact with the smooth roll 8, it is possible to cut and form the confectionery dough almost simultaneously with rolling it into sheets, and moreover, the rolled sheet is spread on the smooth roll 8. Therefore, the rolled sheet will not be cut during production, and will not adhere to the cutter roll 10 and be rolled up.

In addition, since a rolled sheet generally has a property of being easily spread on a roll with a large diameter during rolling or cutting, the cutter roll 10 is used in the present invention.
By forming the diameter of the smooth rolls 7 and 8 to be smaller than the diameter of the cutter rolls 1 and 8, the rolled sheet is
Never get caught up in 0.

On the other hand, in the present invention, from the smooth roll 8,
When the cut and formed rolled sheet is peeled off by the scraper 3, if the rolled sheet is greatly distorted,
Wrinkles occur on the surface of the rolled sheet, which makes it difficult to align the sheets thereafter. To prevent this, the scraper 13 is a single-edged scraper made as thin as possible, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the cutting edge of the scraper 13 is It is preferable that the single edge portion 18 is an outer edge relative to the smooth roll 8. In addition, in order to align the rolled sheet peeled off from the smooth roll 8 on the endless belt 14 in a good condition, as shown in FIG. , the angle α between the scraper 13 and the normal C is about 45° to 70°, preferably 60° to
The angle is preferably about 65 degrees; if the angle is outside the range of 45 degrees to 70 degrees, the rolled sheet after peeling tends to wrinkle and is difficult to align on the endless belt 14. Also scrapper 13
The thickness T is 0.5 to 1.0 from the viewpoint of workability and robustness.
The thickness is about mm, preferably about 0.6 mm.

Furthermore, the angle β of the cutting edge is preferably about 20° from the viewpoint of workability and robustness, as described above. In addition, in consideration of the adhesion of the rolled sheet to the scraper 13, it is preferable that the upper portion 19 of the single edge portion 18 be coated with a fluororesin.

Further, in order to uniformly align the rolled sheets peeled off by the scraper 13, it is preferable that the smooth roll 8 and the endless belt 14 be installed close to each other.

By using the confectionery dough rolling sheet forming apparatus of the present invention having the configuration as explained above, a rolled sheet of the desired thickness can be obtained by one rolling process, and any type of confectionery dough can be easily formed. The effect is particularly noticeable on highly starchy and sticky doughs, and there is no deformation or cutting defects in cut products, and the rolling roll and cutter roll are integrally formed. This has the advantage that the entire device occupies a small floor space.
