Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for cutting dough such as pastry dough while applying desired embossing.

The purpose of this invention is to embossing the fabric surface so that the embossing area can be used as a reference area for the subsequent operation detection of the cutting device, which enables accurate detection of the cutting area and eliminates errors in cutting dimensions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for cutting dough such as pastry dough, which can cut the amount of dough.

Another purpose of the present invention is that by applying the above-mentioned embossing, it is easy to fold and perform other secondary processing of baked confectionery, and it is also possible to obtain pastry dough, etc., which has an excellent appearance and design. The aim is to provide a cutting device that can.

Most conventional pastry dough is rolled out to a predetermined thickness and cut into predetermined lengths manually, and even in the case of semi-mechanized dough, the dough is fed by a conveyor or the like and cut into predetermined lengths by hand. It was simply a cutter that moved up and down at intervals to cut. However, in the case of cutting using only the vertical movement of the cutter, changes due to the elongation of the transported fabric are completely ignored, which tends to result in uneven lengths of the cut fabric, which goes against the requirement for consistent quality. It was easy to get results.

The present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks, and by completing the invention described below, it has been able to completely achieve its purpose.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

This device is composed of a conveyor 2 for conveying the spread dough 1, a blade wheel 3, a detector 4, and a cutter 5, which are installed on the upper surface of the conveyor. The conveyor 2 is for conveying the dough 1 that has been fermented and spread into a plate shape by a spreading device (not shown) that spreads the dough 1 to a specified thickness, and a device such as a fairy conveyor 21 is provided on the lower surface of the blade wheel 3 to prevent the conveyor surface from sinking in order to perform its operation (pressing the blade into the dough 1) accurately. The blade wheel 3 is attached to the upper surface of the conveyor 2 so as to cross the flow direction, and a number of blades 32 are attached to a rotating shaft 31 along its length and radially from the shaft as a core, and the tips of the blades 32 are configured to be long enough to press into the dough 1 but not cut it. The interval and protruding length of the blades 32 are set according to the length of the dough to be cut. In addition, the blade 32 may be used to emboss only one pattern on the fabric 1, or may be used in a variety of ways, such as by using only one blade 32.
It is also possible to freely perform the embossing process on multiple pieces of fabric at the same time by forming multiple uneven surfaces on the edge portion (the portion that becomes the embossing blade) of the blade 32, and to press-form multiple pressed patterns 11 into the fabric 1, or to simultaneously emboss multiple pieces of fabric using one blade 32.
The edge of the blade 32 may have a three-dimensional embossed portion (not shown).
The cutter 5 is for detecting the pressed pattern 11 formed by pressing the cloth 1 into the fabric, and is attached at a specified distance behind the blade wheel 3. Various detection means can be selected, but in this embodiment, a mechanism that detects reflected light by a photocell sensor is used.
It is configured to operate with a specified time lag after the detector 4 detects the upper pressed pattern 11, and cuts the fabric 1 with a specified time lag after the pressed pattern 11 passes under the cutter 5. This time lag is set according to the transport speed of the conveyor 2. It is preferable that the conveyor located under the cutter 2 is a cutter conveyor in order to make the cutting action of the cutter more effective.

The present invention configured as described above operates as follows. First, the dough 1 sent out from the spreading mechanism is automatically fed into the lower surface of the blade wheel 3 by the conveyor 2, and the dough 1 is press-fitted by the blade 32 into a predetermined press-fit pattern 11 at the part that comes into contact with the blade 32. The conveyed fabric 1 is transferred while being formed and is conveyed in the four directions of the detector.
The press-fit pattern 11 formed on the surface is the detector 4.
When the cutter 5 reaches the bottom surface, the detector 4 detects this and instructs the cutter 5 located at the rear thereof to operate. After that, it descends and cuts the fabric 1 at a predetermined location.
The fabric cut by the cutter 5 has a press-in pattern 11
It is possible to quickly obtain a fabric whose parts are accurately located in the center, and whose cut shape is always constant. When the end of the fabric 1 passes through the lower surface of the blade wheel 3 and the press-fit pattern 11 is no longer formed, the detector 4 no longer detects the cutter 5, so the cutter 5 is no longer instructed to operate and starts cutting in the area where the fabric 1 is not present. I will never do that.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, its structure is extremely simple, and it can be easily installed on conventional conveyor equipment without making complicated modifications.Moreover, it can perform accurate operation, and can be easily installed on conventional conveyor equipment. It has the characteristic that it can completely eliminate various drawbacks that it had.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A large number of blades 32 are formed on the upper surface of the transfer conveyor 2 for conveying the pastry dough 1 so as to intersect with the flow direction of this conveyor and whose edge portions can be press-fitted into the surface of the dough 1 to an appropriate depth. A blade wheel 3 is provided, a detector 4 for detecting the press-fit pattern 11 formed by the blade 32 is provided behind the blade wheel 3, and a detector 4 is provided behind the detector 4. This device for cutting dough such as pastry dough is provided with a cutter 5 which operates to cut the dough 1 at predetermined time intervals after receiving a detection signal.
