That is, the present invention is an invention related to a step of putting walnut pieces into a mold among apparatuses related to walnut manufacturing.

1 to 5, the mold 10 for the manufacture of walnut confectionery is moved at predetermined time intervals, and a device capable of manufacturing walnut confectionery by automatically putting the composition of the walnut confectionery into the mold 10 Shown is a walnut feeding device 100 for supplying walnut pieces to the mold during the manufacturing process.

The mold 10 for the production of walnut cookies is assumed to be automatically moved in one direction every predetermined time (preferably within a range of about 4 seconds to 8 seconds).

Walnut supply apparatus 100 according to the present invention, the limit switch 140 in contact with one side of the mold 10 to detect that the mold 10 has arrived at a predetermined position for the walnut pieces; A controller 180 (refer to FIG. 3) for receiving an electric signal from the limit switch 140 to operate a vibrator (not shown) formed in the baskets 150a, 150b, and 150c; The vibrator; A bowl (200) coupled to the vibrator and formed in the baskets (150a, 150b, 150c); The walnut pieces fall from one side of the upper end of the paul 200 includes a walnut supply unit 130 that is a passage for supplying the mold (10).

In FIG. 1, the frame 200 is not covered, and thus, the Paul 200, the baskets 150a, 150b, 150c, the vibrator, the controller 180, and the like are not shown, and only an operation switch 120a for operating the walnut feeding device is illustrated. 120b and 120c, only the lid 115 and the limit switch 140, which are opened when the walnut pieces are put together in the Paul 200, are shown. On the other hand, the mold 10 is a structure that can be overturned for heating by being mounted on the rail 20, the detailed structure is omitted in the present invention.

The structure including the Paul 200 and the vibrator used in the present invention is commonly referred to as a bowl feeder, which functions to move small objects such as powder or bolts in a predetermined direction by vibration.

Referring to the operation of the walnut supply device 100 schematically, the operation switch 120 is a switch for turning on and off the power of the three vibrator in the frame 110, respectively. When the mold 10 hits the limit switch 140, the controller 180 of the walnut feeding device in the frame 110 operates the vibrator.

This vibration is to vibrate the walnut pieces contained in the Paul (200) and the Paul 200 provided on the upper vibrator in succession, the walnut pieces are of the spiral (spiral) shown in Figure 5 of the step-shaped first width selection means It gradually rises in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 7 while gradually moving on the seating surface 163. Eventually, the walnut pieces fall freely into the mold 10 through the J point and the walnut outlet 130 of FIG.

In this dropping moment, the proximity sensor 155 that detects this generates a constant electric signal and is transmitted to the controller 180 and the controller 180 stops the vibrator operation.

The vibrator is provided to be able to adjust the vibration strength, so as to adjust the traveling speed of the walnut pieces.

2 and 4 are cross-sectional views viewed from the direction (a) and (b) of FIG. 1, respectively, illustrating the positions of the baskets 150a, 150b and 150c, the proximity sensor 155, the walnut supply unit 130, and the like. .

The Paul 200 further includes the components described below for introducing only the walnut pieces within the predetermined size range into the mold 10.

3 is a cross-sectional view viewed from the direction (C) of FIG. 1, the Paul 200 is shown three and the controller 180 is located on one side and one side of the Paul (200) for walnut supply, all of the walnut supply 130 To the side.

In FIG. 5, a three-dimensional photograph of Paul having a reference numeral 200a is shown in the Paul. When the vibrator (not shown) vibrates, the walnut pieces (not shown) contained in the inside of the Paul 200 are the same as the A, B, and C points. From 161 through D, E, F, G, H, I is moved to the upper surface (J position) which is the highest position in Paul.

A detailed description of the interior of Paul (200) is as follows.

Along the circumference of the inner wall 162 of the Paul 200, the first width sorting means 160 is formed in a spiral shape in a stepped step structure in which the rotation radius is gradually increased and its height is increased. . The first width sorting means was named because it functions to sort out large walnut pieces. The seating surface 163 on which the walnut pieces are placed is determined in consideration of the size of the walnut pieces to be put into walnut manufacturing.

The first width sorting means 160 refers to a spiral staircase structure itself including the seating surface 163 and the inner wall 162.

The width of the walnut pieces seating surface 163 of the first width sorting means 160 is characterized in that less than 1/2 of the maximum width (w, Figure 8) of the walnut pieces to be put. As shown in FIG. 8 (a), when the walnut slice having the maximum size w desired to be put into walnut pastry exceeds w, it falls to the bottom surface 161 by gravity. Since the walnut slices are also rotated by vibration, the walnut slices having a predetermined size or more fall to the bottom surface 161 on the way up along the seating surface 163, so that the possibility of being put into the finished walnut cake becomes significantly lower.

As described above, the first width sorting means 160 is provided to allow only walnut pieces of a predetermined width or less to be continuously moved along the seating surface 163 and the inner wall 162 of the paul 200. Attached to one side of the walnut pieces of a predetermined height or more progressively vibrates and then hits the walnut dropping means 170 is restored to its original position to the bottom surface 161, such a tall (or wide Large) walnut is blocked from being supplied to the mold 10 for walnut manufacturing by the first width sorting means. The fall situation is illustrated in FIG. 8B.

As shown in Figure 5, the walnut dropping means 170 is attached to one end, the other end is preferably bent wire (wire) of the shape bent along the rotational direction of the first width selection means (160) It can also be easily changed into other shapes, such as a plate | board material, and installed.

The wire is bent along the rotational direction of the first width sorting means 160 and is configured to gradually increase the curvature (점점) toward the center of rotation so as to drop a piece of walnut of a predetermined size to the bottom surface 161.

The diameter of the wire should be at least 1.0 millimeter or more to have a rigidity that does not bend when colliding with the walnut and may increase the diameter if necessary, and various materials can be used under the requirements provided with bending rigidity.

On the other hand, the wire which is the walnut dropping means 170 is preferably provided with two or more points on the inner wall 162. The purpose is that the large walnut pieces that are not dropped by being dropped from the dropping means of 170a on the lower side continue. This is to drop to the bottom surface 161 using the falling means once again in case it has been delivered.

As shown in FIG. 6, the intervals h1 and h2 formed by the seating surfaces of the plurality of walnut dropping means 170 and the first width sorting means 160 directly below are based on the bottom surface of Paul. It is preferable that the spacing is smaller as the wire 170b is attached. The reason is that when the walnut feeding device is operated after stacking walnut pieces on the bottom surface 161 of Paul (200), even if small pieces of walnut are stacked on the wire, the walnut dropping means 170 keeps falling. This may occur, because the wire 170a provided in the lower portion of the original walnut size selection function will be somewhat reduced.

However, under the premise of achieving the technical effect of size selection of walnut pieces, it is obvious that h1 and h2 can be formed at relatively various heights.

As described above, the walnut dropping means 170 for falling back to the bottom surface 161 of the Paul 200; characterized in that it comprises a.

In the present invention, while adopting a Paul feeder (bowl feeder) as one component of the invention, in consideration of the particularity of the supply of walnuts to walnut pieces within a certain size range.

That is, the main technical idea of the present invention is to drop walnut pieces of the size not selected in the initial screening process to the original position and eventually only walnut pieces within a desired size range into the walnut confectionery product.

On the other hand, the second width sorting means which is a path having a width smaller than the first width sorting means 160 is formed at at least one point among the paths continuously connected in a spiral shape of the first width sorting means 160. It is characterized by.

That is, the part (point I) shown by the width a of FIG. 5 is called 2nd width sorting means.

The point I is formed to be smaller than the width b of the point H of FIG. The purpose is to effectively screen large pieces of walnut. That is, when the size of the walnut pieces, which are not large enough to be introduced into the walnut pastry mold 10 have been transported continuously, they are formed to fall back to the bottom surface 161. FIG. 8C shows a situation of falling at point I. FIG.

In Figure 7, there are several situations in which the falling of the walnut pieces at once, while taking the circumferential progression path in the direction of the arrow can fall as f1, f2, f3. Where f1 is the low position wire, f2 is the high position wire, and f3 is the fall path at point I where the width decreases.

The walnut pieces can be simultaneously supplied to a plurality of walnut molds 10 to improve productivity. The vibrator and the Paul 200, the walnut discharge unit 130, and the proximity sensor 155 are integrally formed. It is preferable that the set to be composed of a plurality of sets. In the accompanying drawings, a set of three Paul can be supplied at the same time three pieces of walnut pieces at the outlet, but not limited to this, may be configured by varying the number of four, five and so on.

     In this case, the walnut feeder provided with the plurality of sets may have a triangular arrangement based on a plan view in the case of three sets so that the occupied area can be minimized, and a square arrangement in the case of four sets. In other words, when three Paul's centers as shown in FIG. 7 are connected to each other, a triangle becomes a triangle. The closer to the equilateral triangle, the smaller the occupied area. However, Paul and others can be arranged in various geometric shapes according to the situation.

Figure 9 shows another embodiment of the present invention is provided with a portion for discharging pieces of walnut that is too small to avoid putting them into the walnut manufacturing mold.

If the pieces of walnuts are too small, it becomes a customer complaint, and since the merchandise is inferior, it is necessary to prevent small pieces of walnuts from being put into the products.

At the bottom of the first width sorting means 160 immediately before the walnut pieces 130 are introduced into the walnut discharge unit 130, a plurality of small particle walnut discharge holes 190 are provided so that small pieces of walnut cannot be introduced into the walnut sweets. Free fall to allow separation.

FIG. 10 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention, the technical subject matter of which is at least one centimeter above the bottom surface 161 of Paul in order to exert the small walnut sorting function of FIG. With a net 168 as the third width sorting means, the maximum opening width of the net is configured to 5 mm or less, to prevent the walnut pieces of a certain size or less from being supplied to the walnut cookie mold 10.
