Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a molding device for spherical food products. Conventionally,
When producing spherical foods such as meatballs, dumplings, and spherical donuts, the cylindrical dough formed by an extrusion molding machine is passed between a rotating semicircular grooved roller and a shaping plate to form it into a spherical shape. was. At that time, the extrusion molding machine places a molding cylindrical body for molding the cylindrical dough at the bottom of the dough tank.
A plurality of grooved rollers were arranged in a row corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the grooved roller. In order to improve productivity using such an extrusion molding machine, it is possible to double the productivity by arranging the molded cylindrical bodies, which were conventionally arranged in one row, into two rows. can. However, if we simply arrange two rows of molded cylindrical bodies and try to process the cylindrical dough using grooved rollers and shaping plates as in the past,
As a result, the cylindrical dough that falls onto the grooved roller sticks together, making it impossible to form it into a spherical shape, and the dough often gets clogged in the gap between the grooved roller and the shaping plate, causing the grooved roller to rotate. However, the actual situation is that productivity cannot be improved using this method.

Therefore, in view of the actual situation, the inventor of the present invention has conducted various studies to develop a highly productive spherical food molding device that solves the conventional problems, and has developed a method to prevent the cylindrical dough from sticking together. He devised a fabric guide and completed this invention.

That is, the present invention includes an extrusion molding machine that is configured with a plurality of molding cylindrical bodies arranged in two rows to mold a cylindrical dough, a grooved molding roller and a spherical shaping plate that mold the cylindrical dough into a spherical shape. The cylindrical dough extruded from the extrusion molding machine is placed between a spherical molding machine consisting of two inclined plates having a number of guide chambers corresponding to the number of molded cylindrical bodies, and a grooved molding roller at different positions. This is a spherical food forming device characterized by intervening a dough guide for guiding and feeding the dough.

The present invention will be further described below with reference to drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

1 is an extrusion molding machine, which is constructed by arranging a plurality of molding cylindrical bodies 2 in two rows (usually 4 to 6 per row, about 8 to 12 in total) for molding cylindrical dough. be.

3 is a spherical molding machine that molds the cylindrical dough extruded by the extrusion molding machine 1 into a spherical shape, and includes a molding roller 4 having a plurality of grooves each having a semicircular cross section on its surface, and a molding roller 4 on the side of the molding roller. It is constituted by a concave spherical shaping plate 5 provided facing the roller surface. The concave surface portion 6 of the spherical shaping plate 5 may be formed with a groove having a semicircular cross section facing the groove of the roller 4, or may be a simple smooth surface.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a dough guide interposed between the extrusion molding machine 1 and the spherical molding machine 3. The fabric guide 7 is made up of two inclined plates 8a and 8b arranged side by side with an appropriate spacing between them so that the cylindrical fabrics are not connected and integrated. The inclined plates 8a and 8b are provided with partition plates 9a and 9b as appropriate, and the number of guide chambers 10 corresponds to the number of molded cylindrical bodies 2 of the extrusion molding machine 1.
a, 10b are formed, and an excellent effect of preventing the cylindrical fabric from being joined and integrated can be achieved. In addition, the inclined direction of the inclined plates 8a and 8b is downwardly inclined in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the grooved forming roller 4 (arrow X in the figure), and the installation position thereof is in line with the axis O of the grooved forming roller 4. It is preferable to place the molding roller 4 above or slightly above the forming roller 4 on the rotational direction X side from directly above, but there is no problem even if the forming roller 4 is placed slightly above the axis O in the direction opposite to the rotational direction X side. Incidentally, the inclined plate 8a
The inclination angle α is about 55 to 65°, and the inclination plate 8b
The inclination angle β is preferably about 40 to 50 degrees in order to smoothly guide and feed the dough. In order to maintain this angle, the two inclined plates 8a and 8b are connected to the connecting plate 1.
If they are connected and fixed in advance using 1a and 11b, handling becomes extremely convenient. Incidentally, the inclined plates 8a, 8
It is advantageous to form a notch 12 directed slightly upward at the lower part of b because the dough can be guided and supplied onto the forming roller 4 more smoothly.

The spherical food molding device according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and its operation will be explained as follows.

First, a plurality of cylindrical doughs 13 molded by the extrusion molding machine 1 are simultaneously dropped and supplied to the dough guide 7, but these doughs 13 are
The fabric 13 placed in the groove reaches the groove of the forming roller 4 with a certain time difference, that is, the fabric 13 on the rear inclined plate 8b is slightly earlier than the fabric 13 placed in the groove, and the fabric 13 reaches the groove of the forming roller 4 as before. As it rotates, it passes through the gap between it and the spherical shaping plate, and is sequentially shaped into a spherical shape and falls.

That is, according to the present invention, due to the presence of the dough guide 7, it is possible to guide and feed a large number of doughs to the forming roller 4 without having to simultaneously connect and integrate them, thereby achieving extremely high productivity.
