The first pipe 31 is disposed vertically in the tank 11. At this time, the lower side of the first pipe 31 is close to the bottom surface of the tank 11. The upper side of the first tube 31 protrudes outside the tank 11 through the upper circumferential surface of the tank 11. Branch pipe 311 is coupled to the upper side of the first tube 31 protruding to the outside. However, branch pipe 311 may be omitted. As the pressure inside the tank 11 increases, the melt that is about to be discharged is discharged to the outside of the tank through the first pipe 31. At this time, the melt is discharged to both sides by the branch pipe (311).

The first tube 31 may be made of stainless steel such as the tank 11 and the cover 12. In addition, since the first pipe 31 is made of stainless steel or the like, the pressure inside the tank 11 is not deformed.

The second pipe 32 passes through the melt discharged from the first pipe 31 and flows through the flow pipe 321, the protection member 322, the heat resistant member 324, the heating unit 325, and the insulating member 327. ), A heat insulating member 328, a case 329, and a sensor unit 33.

The flow pipe 321 is coupled to the branch pipe 311 by the flange 321a. In this case, a clamp (not shown) is coupled to a portion where the flange 321a and the branch pipe 311 contact each other so that a gap does not occur in a portion where the flange 321a and the branch pipe 311 contact each other.

The melt discharged through the first pipe 31 is introduced into the flow pipe 321. The flow pipe 321 may be made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is a synthetic resin made by polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene.

The flow pipe 321 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene or the like to smoothly form an inner surface. The inner surface of the flow tube 321 is smoothly formed to minimize friction with the melt passing through the flow tube 321. Minimization of friction facilitates the flow of the melt.

The protective member 322 wraps the flow tube 321 as the unstretched metal wire is twisted. The metal may be stainless steel. The protection member 322 surrounding the flow tube 321 prevents the flow tube 321 from bursting due to the pressure of the melt passing through the flow tube 321. The protective member 322 may not be a metal wire. In addition, the protection member 322 prevents damage by being pointed, such as awl, nail.

The heat resistant member 324 surrounds the protective member 322 and may be made of a conductor having high thermal or electrical conductivity. However, the heat resistant member 324 may be omitted.

The heating part 325 surrounds the heat resistant member 324. The heating part 325 is firmly fixed to the heat resistant member 324 by the first glass tape 326a. The heating unit 325 may be a coil heater that generates heat using electrical energy. However, the heating unit 325 may be a heating wire. The heating unit 325 is electrically connected to a control unit (not shown). Accordingly, when a current passes through the heating unit 325 under the control of the controller, heat is generated. Heat is transmitted to the flow pipe 321 through the heat resistant member 324 and the protective member 322. The heat of the heating unit 325 transmitted to the flow pipe 321 is transferred to the melt passing through the flow pipe 321. At this time, the molten mule is heated. The heated melt becomes less viscous. Friction of the lower viscosity melts is minimized. This makes the melt flow smoother.

Accordingly, the melt may be easily moved without a technical configuration such as a separate pump (not shown) by the pressure applied to the inside of the tank 11 by the pressurization unit 2.

The insulating member 327 surrounds the heating part 325 and prevents electrical energy connected to the heating part 325 from leaking out of the heating part 325. That is, the insulating member 327 prevents an accident such as an electric shock. The insulating member 327 is firmly fixed to the heating part 325 by the second glass tape 326b.

The insulating member 328 surrounds the insulating member 327 and prevents external heat from entering the insulating member 327. In addition, the heat generated from the heating unit 325 in the inner direction of the insulating member 328 is prevented from being transferred to the outside. The insulating member 328 may be made of wool. However, it can be made of cotton or cloth.

The case 329 surrounds the heat keeping member 328 and fixes the heat keeping member 328. The case 329 prevents an external shock from being transmitted to the inside. The case 329 may be made of synthetic resin or metal.

When the temperature sensed by the sensor unit 33 detects a temperature below the setting of the controller, the controller supplies electric energy to the heating unit 325 to cause the heating unit 325 to generate heat. On the contrary, when the temperature detected by the sensor unit 33 detects an abnormal temperature set by the controller, the controller stops supplying electrical energy to the heating unit 325. Accordingly, the fire caused by overheating of the heating unit 325 is prevented.

Next, the extension part 4 is demonstrated with reference to the exploded figure 5 shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 which shows the extension part shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

The extension part 4 according to the present embodiment is disposed on the forming drum 5, and the melt flowing through the second pipe 32 may be introduced. The introduced melt is discharged to the forming drum 5. The temple part 4 includes a temple body 41, a gate 42, temple heating parts 43a and 43b, a lifting part 44, a pressing part 45, and a lifting measuring device 46.

The temple body 41 is disposed on the forming drum 5, and the front and top surfaces are open. The planar view of the temple body 41 is a rectangular shape. The inside of the temple body 41 is connected with the second tube 32. Accordingly, the melt passing through the second tube 32 may be introduced into the temple body 41.

The gate 42 is provided on the open front surface of the temple body 41 to be elevated. Both sides of the gate 42 and both sides of the temple body 41 are in surface contact. The installation of the gate 42 does not spill the melt flowing into the temple body 41 through the open front.

When the gate 42 is raised in the state installed in the front of the temple body 41, the outlet 411 is formed between the lower side of the gate 42 and the front lower side of the temple body 41. The outlet 411 has a rectangular shape in front. The melt is discharged to the forming drum 5 in a rectangular shape through the outlet 411. At this time, the width (H, see FIG. 6) of the discharge port 411 may vary according to the lifting degree of the gate 42. The discharge of the melt is controlled by the variable outlet 411 width (H).

The melt discharged from the outlet 411 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating forming drum (5). At this time, the melt is spread in the form of a sheet and has a predetermined thickness. The thickness may vary depending on the variable width H of the outlet 411. The melt contacting the forming drum 5 while being unfolded rotates along the forming drum 5, wherein the melt inside the temple body 41 is discharged along the melt first discharged through the outlet 411.

The modified starch of the melt is compatible with water, so its flow is free. Accordingly, the melt introduced into the temple body 41 is naturally discharged to the outlet 411 by its own weight. Since the melt is discharged to the outlet 411 by its own weight, a separate configuration for pressurizing the melt is not necessary.

The gate 42 and the temple body 41 are each provided with temple heating parts 43a and 43b for heating the melt in order to lower the viscosity of the melt. The temple heating parts 43a and 43b may be formed of a heating coil. When the heat is transferred to the melt due to the exotherm of the temple heating parts 43a and 43b, the melt may be heated. The heated melt may become viscous and naturally discharge through the outlet 411. However, the temple heating parts 43a and 43b may be omitted.

The temple body 41 and the gate 42 may be made of copper or the like. A coating layer (not shown) is formed on the surfaces of the temple body 41 and the gate 42 in contact with the melt. The coating layer may be made of painted fluororesin. Such a coating using a fluororesin is called a Teflon Konif coating. Teflon Konif coating is good for non-adhesiveness, low friction coefficient, non-oiliness, low temperature durability, heat resistance, electrical properties, chemical resistance and so on.

This coating layer makes the flow more smooth when the melt introduced into the temple body 41 is discharged to the outlet 411. The coating layer also improves the releasability of the melt.

The lifting unit 44 is installed on both sides of the temple body 41 to lift the gate 42, and includes a support bracket 441, a lifting operation shaft 442, and a lifting bracket 443.

The other end of the support bracket 441 penetrates the coupling hole 441a up and down.

The lifting operation shaft 442 has a predetermined length, and a center portion thereof is rotatably coupled to the engagement hole 441a. The upper side is located above the support bracket 441 while the elevating operation shaft 442 is installed in the engaging hole 441a. A handle is formed on the upper side of the elevating operation shaft 442. Knurling is formed in the handle part to prevent slippage. The upper side of the elevating operation shaft 442 is located under the support bracket 441, and a bolt is formed.

The lifting bracket 443 is positioned below the support bracket 441, and one side thereof is fixed to the side of the gate 42. At this time, one side of the lifting bracket 443 faces the other side of the support bracket 441. One side of the elevating bracket 443 is formed with a nut to which the bolt of the elevating operation shaft 442 is coupled. The lifting bracket 443 fixed to the gate 42 moves up and down along the bolt when the lifting operation shaft 442 rotates. The gate 42 can move up and down by lifting up and down the lifting bracket 443.

Referring to FIG. 6, the lifting unit 44 is described in detail. When the lifting operation shaft 442 rotatably installed on the support bracket 441 is rotated in one direction, the lifting bracket 443 is formed by a nut coupled to a bolt. Ascending along the lifting operation shaft 442. As the lifting bracket 443 rises, the gate 42 also rises. When the gate 42 is raised, the width H of the discharge port 411 is changed. That is, the opening degree of the outlet 411 becomes larger. This increases the discharge of the melt flowing into the temple body (41). In addition, the thickness of the melt spreading on the forming drum 5 is increased.

On the contrary, when the lifting operation shaft 442 is rotated in the other direction, the gate 42 is lowered, and the width H of the discharge port 411 is variable. At this time, the opening degree of the outlet 411 becomes narrow. When the outlet 411 is narrowed, the amount of melt discharged is reduced. As a result, the thickness of the melt spreading on the forming drum 5 also becomes thin.

The lifting unit 44 according to the present embodiment has been described as the support bracket 441, the lifting operation shaft 442, and the lifting bracket 443, but the present invention does not limit the structure of the lifting unit 44.

The gate pressing unit 45 presses the gate 42 to be in close contact with the entire surface of the temple body 41, and includes a pressing member 451 and an elastic member 452.

The pressing member 451 faces the temple body 41 with the gate 42 therebetween, and includes a connecting bar 451a and a pressing bar 451b.

The connection bar 451a is located at the lower side of the elevating bracket 443, and one side thereof is detachably fixed to the side of the temple body 41. At this time, the other end of the connection bar 451a protrudes forward through the side of the gate 42. One side of the connection bar 451a and the side of the gate 42 are separated.

The pressure bars 451b are located in front of the gate 42 and are spaced apart. Both sides of the pressure bar 451b are detachably coupled to the other end of the connection bar 451a.

The elastic member 452 is positioned between the pressure bar 451b and the gate 42, and one side is fixed to the gate 42, and the other side is connected to the pressure bar 451b. The elastic member 452 is formed in the form of a leaf spring and elastically supports the gate 42 in the direction of the temple body 41. There is no gap between the gate 42 and the temple body 41 due to the supporting force of the elastic member 452.

Lifting measuring device 46 is composed of a pair to check the width (H) of the discharge port 411 is variable. The lift measuring device 46 is a dial gauge. The main body on which the dial gauge instructions are mounted is fixed to the lifting bracket 443. Accordingly, the main body of the dial gauge can be elevated along the elevating bracket 443. In addition, the measurer connected to the guide of the dial gauge is in contact with the top surface of the connecting bar 451a through the lifting bracket 443.

When the lifting bracket 443 is moved up and down by the operation of the lifting operation shaft 442, the main body of the dial gauge is moved. At this time, the gears of the dial gauge connected to the gauge of the dial gauge move, and the instructions indicate the scale formed on the main body. Through the scales of the dial gauges located on both sides, it is possible to check the variable degree of the width (H) of the outlet port 411. In addition, the dial gauge is formed in a pair to check the horizontal state of the gate 42 to move up and down. In other words, if the scale indicated by the pair of dial gauges is the same, the scale is horizontal. If the scales supported are different, the scale is tilted.

The melt discharged through the outlet 411 may be discharged to a uniform thickness by the gate 42 which can check the horizontal state through the dial gauge.

The vegetable gelatin raw material supply device can send the melt stored in the tank 11 to the shrine unit 4 only by the pressure of compressed air. In addition, the viscosity of the melt is lowered by the heating part 325 of the second pipe 32 through which the tank 11 and the extension part 4 are connected, and the melt passes, thereby facilitating the flow of the melt.

Melt introduced into the shrine unit 4 may have a lower viscosity due to the shrine heating units 43a and 43b. In addition, the vegetable gelatin raw material having low viscosity may be discharged to the forming drum 5 through the discharge port 411 only by its own weight.
