[0001] Sugar coated nut snack processing device for individual separation [0002]

The present invention relates to an individual separating device for sugar nuts and snacks, and more particularly to a sugar nuts and snack individual separating device for separating a mixture of a mixed noodle snack material and a boiled sugar solution separately for a snack size according to the size of the nuts .

Generally, a snack manufacturing apparatus is a system in which a main material such as nuts for producing snacks and an auxiliary material such as salt, seasoning powder, and sugar solution for imparting a taste are put into a seasoning drum on a drum, So that it is possible to produce a snack which is evenly mixed with the main material and the auxiliary material.

However, in the conventional snack manufacturing apparatus, after the mixture of the main material, the auxiliary material and the sugar solution (= mucosubstance) is produced, the size selection screening operation must be performed according to the size of the nuts, .

In addition, in order to separately separate the main material coated with sugar solution from the mixture, it has been necessary to separate it manually by hand or use a separate tool in spite of the high temperature sugar solution, and there have been many inconveniences such as increased risk and work processes. In addition, there is a problem that the working rate is not improved and the production amount is maintained or dropped.

Accordingly, the following patent document 1 discloses that the snack material is separated by the roller and the finger bar for separate separation, but is merely separated by the finger bar rotated integrally with the roller. However, it is a structure in which the mixture of the snack material and the sugar solution can not be separated from the finger bar. In addition, although it is possible to separate the snack material from the mixture while bumping the mixture immediately, there is a disadvantage in that separation can not be performed smoothly using only one roller.

The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. To fully disclose the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating embodiments of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an apparatus for separating sugar nuts and snacks according to the present invention comprises an inlet 100 for introducing a mixture and delivering the mixture to a roller unit 200, A roller portion 200 for separating the delivered mixture through a plurality of rollers 210, 220 and 230 and a transfer portion 300 for transferring the separated mixture to a cooling tumbler (not shown) It is possible to separate according to the size, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified and the cost and work convenience can be improved.

Hereinafter, each component of the sugar-nut and snack individual separation apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the present invention is based on the premise that the present invention comprises an inlet 100 through which a mixture is transferred, a roller 200 separating the transferred mixture, and a transfer unit 300 transferring the separated mixture.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inlet 100 leads the mixture downward (a lumpy mixture with a caramelization stage at a high temperature of at least 130.degree. C. applied to the outer surface of the snack material).

Here, snack ingredients are the same as nuts.

At this time, the mixture is made by a device for applying a boiling sugar solution to the snack material and can be introduced into the inlet portion 100 through a separate mechanism. In the present invention, the mixture is prepared by adding boiling sugar solution The mixture prepared by coating the mixture with 10% or more of the mixing ratio and rotating the stirring blades after the coating is formed as an example, but the mixture prepared through other materials and conditions may be applied.

When the mixture is delivered from the outside, the inlet portion 100 is guided downward from the upper portion of the inlet portion 100 to the roller portion 200 to be described later .

FIG. 3 is a side view showing a roller unit of the snack and snack separating apparatus of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a roller of the snack and snack separating apparatus of the present invention, Fig.

Referring to FIG. 3, the roller unit 200 is provided under the inlet 100 to separate the mixture introduced from the inlet 100 according to the size.

At this time, the roller unit 200 includes a first roller 210, a second roller 220, and a third roller 230 in a downward direction in the lower part of the inlet 100, The first roller 210, the second roller 220, and the third roller 230 are disposed in a zigzag manner.

The first roller 210 conveys the mixture introduced from the inlet 100 to the second roller 220. That is, the first roller 210 rotates forward to the second roller 220.

The second roller 220 transfers the mixture conveyed from the first roller 210 to the third roller 230. That is, the second roller 220 rotates reversely toward the third roller 230.

Here, the mixture is introduced from the inlet portion 100 and passes between the first roller 210 and the second roller 220.

The third roller 230 transfers the mixture conveyed from the second roller 220 by the conveying unit 300. That is, the third roller 230 rotates forward to the second roller 220.

Here, the mixture passes between the second roller 220 and the third roller 230 by the third roller 230 after passing through the first roller 210 and the second roller 220.

Meanwhile, the rotational speed ratio of the first roller 210, the second roller 220, and the third roller 230 is set to 1: 3: 9.

This rotational speed ratio makes it possible to separate the mixture for each snack material according to the rotational speed variation of the first roller 210, the second roller 220, and the third roller 230.

That is, the second roller 220 rotates faster than the first roller 210 and the third roller 230 rotates faster than the second roller 220, The mixture is moved in the rotating direction of the second roller 220 at a rapidly changing speed when the mixture is conveyed to the second roller 220 rotating faster than the first roller 210. At this time, That is, in the direction of rotation, that is, in a line. Here, as the mucus of the mixture is increased, the mucus-coated snack material is individually separated first.

In addition, when the mixture primarily separated by the second roller 220 is transferred to the third roller 230, which rotates faster than the second roller 220, the second separation is performed due to rapid change of the rotation speed.

To summarize, putting a rotational speed variation is to cause the mucus of the mixture to extend in a line (rotational direction), while the snack material of the mixture is separated individually by mucosubstance coating.

The mixture conveyed by the third roller 230, that is, the separated snack material is conveyed to the conveying units 300 and 300, so that the operator does not have to manually separate the hot mixture by hand.

On the other hand, the roller may be further added, but it is preferable to set the speed deviation.

Referring to FIG. 4, a separation finger 240 is coupled to the first roller 210, the second roller 220, or the third roller 230.

That is, the rollers of the roller unit 200 are formed with insertion holes 242 through which the separation fingers 240 can be inserted at regular intervals on the outer circumferential surface.

Accordingly, the length of the separating finger 240 can be adjusted, and the separating finger 240 can be inserted into the insertion hole 242 only when necessary. In addition, the separating fingers 240 can be circularly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the roller, and can be arranged linearly or zigzag in the longitudinal direction of the roller, and the width of the arranged fingers 240 can be adjusted in various ways. Particularly, since the separating finger 240 can be freely inserted into the insertion hole 242, the number and the width and the length of the snack material such as nuts can be freely adjusted.

The separating finger 240 functions to repel the mixture by the rotation of the roller unit 200 faster than the conveying speed of the mixture during the movement of the mixture to the roller unit 200. That is, since the separating finger 240 coupled to the second roller 220 rotates faster than the conveying speed of the mixture conveyed to the first roller 210, the separating finger 240 transfers the mixture to the third roller 230 as if it repelled During this process, the mucus of the mixture is stretched in a line (direction of rotation), and at the same time the repellent mixture is separated from the snack material separately.

Similarly, when the mixture is conveyed to the third roller 230 by the second roller 220, the separation finger 240 coupled to the insertion hole 242 of the third roller 230 is separated from the second roller 220 And simultaneously releases the snack material individually by bouncing the simultaneous mixture which causes the mucus of the mixture to stretch linearly, acting as a separating finger 240 coupled to the insertion hole 242 of the mouthpiece 242.

In the process of moving to the second roller 220 and the third roller 230, the mixture is separated by the separation finger 240 and the rotational speed ratio of the roller unit 200 separately from the snack material. At this time, it is natural that the outer surface of the snack material is coated with mucus.

The separating fingers 221 and 231 may be formed in the form of a stainless steel bar having a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 12 mm and mounted on the first roller 210, the second roller 220 or the third roller 230, .

The roller unit 200 is provided with a gap adjusting unit (not shown) capable of adjusting the gap between the first roller 210, the second roller 220 and the third roller 230, It is possible to separate them according to the size of the nuts.

Referring to FIG. 5, the outer circumferential surfaces of the first roller 210, the second roller 220, and the third roller 230 are formed with concave grooves 250 in the longitudinal direction. The concave groove 250 is circularly arranged along the outer circumferences of the first roller 210 and the second roller 220 and the third roller 230.

This concave groove 250 is formed by two or more snack materials mixed with the mucilage of the mixture when the mixture is passed between the first roller 210 and the second roller 220, 5, the snack material in the gap between the first roller 210 and the second roller 220 is pressed while the first roller 210 or the second roller 220 is pressed, The second roller 220 is inserted into one or more recessed grooves 250.

At this time, the snack material is not broken by the compression of the first roller 210 and the second roller 220 in the gap between the first roller 210 and the second roller 220, 1 passes through the gap between the roller 210 and the second roller 220, and the concave groove 250 serves to secure a space to prevent damage of the snack material. In addition, the concave groove 250 also allows the mixture to be scraped off at the same time as the second roller 220 rotates faster than the first roller 210, so that the mixture can be repelled.

In addition, the two snack pieces can be separated individually as they are thrown by the second roller 220 whose rotational speed is wrong.

Even when the mixture is conveyed to the gap between the second roller 220 and the third roller 230, the action and effect generated in the gap between the first roller 210 and the second roller 220 So that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, functions and effects of the present invention will be described.

1 and 2, the present invention includes an inlet 100 for introducing a mixture and delivering the mixture to the roller unit 200, a plurality of rollers 200 for conveying the mixture delivered from the inlet 100, A roller unit 200 for separating the mixture through the first and second tanks 210, 220 and 230 and a transfer unit 300 for transferring the separated mixture to a cooling tumbler (not shown) Thereby making it possible to simplify the manufacturing process and improve the cost and work convenience.

On the other hand, the mixture introduced into the inflow section 100 is manufactured by a separate facility apparatus for applying a sugar solution boiled to the snack material and flows into the inflow section 100, which is designed to keep its size and shape constant. However, It is possible to separate the mixture by the size of the nuts through the roller unit 200 in order to omit the sorting process.

The roller unit 200 includes a first roller 210, a second roller 220 and a third roller 230. The first roller 210, the second roller 220, , And the third roller 230 are set at a speed ratio of 1: 3: 9 so that the mixture can be separated according to the rotational speed deviation.

The gap between the first roller 210, the second roller 220 and the third roller 230 is adjusted by a gap adjusting unit (not shown) formed in the roller unit 200 to change the size of the mixture So that the efficiency of the work process can be improved.

The transfer unit 300 is disposed under the roller unit 200 and transfers the mixture produced from the second roller 220 and the third roller 230 to the cooling tumbler Cooling, staging, and packaging, thereby completing the manufacture of snacks.
