In the figure, the first driven shaft 15 is arranged above and connected to the slider 67 through the crank and the first arm portion 63. When the drive gear 13 meshes with the first driven shaft 15 and the first driven shaft 15 rotates, the first arm portion 63 moves to move the slider 67 to the right in the drawing. When the slider 67 moves to the right, the rolling wheel 37 in contact with the slider moves downward while rolling along the upper surface of the slide 67. Since the nozzle part 24 is connected by the rolling wheel 37 and the intermediate shaft 35, when the rolling wheel 37 moves downward, the nozzle part 24 descends downward to approach the mold 10. . On the other hand, the 1st arm part 63 rotates the switching shaft 41 counterclockwise. When the switching shaft 41 rotates in this way, the switching valve 27 of the injector 25 rotates to switch the switching valves 29 and 31 so that the material of the hopper can be injected into the mold 10. In this switched state, the injector 25 and the nozzle part 24 are connected.

When the rotation of the first driven shaft 15 is completed, the second driven shaft 17 rotates. The cam 53 is provided in the second driven shaft 17. The branch arm 55 is pivoted on the shaft 54. When the cam 53 rotates, the branch arm 55 is rotated counterclockwise while the inner roller 59 of the branch arm 55 comes into contact with the surface of the cam 17, whereby the end block 23 is rotated. Push to the left. By this operation, material is supplied from the injector 25 to the nozzle portion 24 and injected into the mold 10.

When the third driven shaft 19 rotates, the connecting rod 20 is moved left and right through the crank. Accordingly, the first exercise plate 43 sliding on the guides 45 and 47 makes linear movements. The slider 67 is fixed to the first exercise plate 43. As the third driven shaft rotates, the protrusion of the switching shaft 41 accommodated in the branch groove of the slider 67 moves to the left while the first moving plate 43 is pushed to the left. That is, the switching shaft 41 rotates clockwise. When the switching shaft 41 rotates in the clockwise direction, the switch 27 also rotates clockwise to switch the switching valves 29 and 31. In this switched state, the injector 25 and the hopper 22 are connected. In addition, as the slider 67 moves to the left side together with the first exercise plate 43, the rolling wheel 37 moves upward, the nozzle part 24 rises upward, and the mold 10 moves to the cushion. To be moved by.

When the fourth driven shaft 21 rotates, the eccentric cam 61 rotates to rotate the branch arm 55 clockwise. The material is then sucked from the hopper 22 into the injector 25 while moving the end block 23 to the right. The second moving plate 49 is provided to slide on the guides 45 and 47. The second moving plate 49 is connected to the second pusher 72 by a connecting rod 71. When the fourth driven shaft rotates, the second pusher 72 pushes the mold 10 back to the original position. The wheel is provided in the part where the branch arm 55 contacts the cams 21 and 53, and smoothly rotates the branch arm 55 according to rotation of a cam.

4 is a view showing a mechanical configuration installed on the front of the bakery. On the front of this embodiment there is shown a mechanical configuration connected to the first driven shaft 15 and the fourth driven shaft 21.

The first driven shaft 15 is connected to the third moving plate 117 through the crank and the connecting rod 111. The guide plate 113 having the inclined groove formed therein is fixed to the third moving plate 117 by a bolt 118. The third exercise plate 117 slides along the guides 107 and 109. Both ends of the guides 107 and 109 are respectively fixed to the frames 125 and 127 of the bakery. On the other hand, the inclined groove is accommodated the knob of the lid opening and closing lever 115. When the first driven shaft 15 rotates, the knob moves upward along the inclined groove therein while the guide plate 113 moves to the right side of the drawing. Accordingly, the lid opening and closing lever 115 moves upward, and opens the lid of the mold 10 while protruding from the bottom of the electric oven. Then, when the guide plate 113 is moved to the left again, the lid opening and closing lever 115 is lowered. The upper part of the guide plate 113 is connected to the wire 119. The wire 119 extends inwardly through the holes 114 and 116 shown in the drawing to be connected to the third pusher 122 and the fourth pusher 124. Therefore, when the guide plate 113 moves, the third pusher 122 and the fourth pusher l24 push the mold 10 in the width direction of the bakery machine.

When the fourth driven shaft 21 rotates, the bending connecting rod 105 is moved. Since the connecting rod 105 is connected to the fourth moving plate through the pivot 106, when the fourth driven shaft 21 rotates, the fourth moving plate 101 linearly moves. The coupling plate 103 is fixed to the upper side of the fourth moving plate 101 by bolts. The upper end of the coupling plate 103 is fixed to the first pusher 104. When the fourth driven shaft 21 rotates once, the pusher 104 pushes the mold 10 and returns to its original position.

FIG. 5 specifically shows the reversing apparatus 16 shown in FIG. The reversing apparatus 16 includes a first plate 75, a second plate 77, and circular side members 80 and 82 that fix these plates on both sides. From the side members 80, 82, the shafts 85, 87 supporting the reversing device 16 extend outwardly. Inside the side members 80, 82, first protrusions 89, 93 and second protrusions 91, 95 protruding inward are provided, and a frame 10 is disposed therebetween. Grooved recesses 81 and 94 are formed. The sprocket 79 is provided in the middle of the 1st plate 75 and the 2nd plate 77, The other sprocket which the chain which contacts the sprocket 79 fixed to the 1st driven shaft 15 was fixed. It is in contact with a kit (not shown). Here, since the number of sprocket 79 teeth of the reversing device 16 is twice the number of sprocket teeth of the first driven shaft 15, when the first driven shaft 15 rotates 360 degrees, the reversing device ( 16) rotates 180 degrees.

6 shows a process in which the reversing device 16 inverts the mold 10. When the frame 10 moves and enters the recesses 89 and 94 of the reversing device 16, the first driven shaft 15 rotates and the frame 10 accommodated in the reversing device 16 also rotates and is turned over. Will be hit. At this time, the first protrusions 89 and 93 and the second protrusions 91 and 93 allow the mold 10 to be inverted without the lid of the mold 10 being opened.

The injector 25 switches the connection between the injector, the hopper and the nozzle while the switching valves 29 and 31 are switched by the rotation of the switch 27. That is, when the second driven shaft rotates, the injector 25 and the nozzle portion 24 communicate with each other to inject the material in the injector 25 into the mold 10, and when the fourth driven shaft rotates, the hopper 22. And the injector 25 communicate with each other to suck the material in the hopper 22 into the injector 25. The switching of the switching valves 29 and 31 is made at the time of rotation of the first driven shaft and the third driven shaft.

Although not shown in the drawing, a controller is provided at the rear of the bakery to control the temperature of the electric oven, the rotational speed of the drive motor, and the like. This controller controls the temperature of the electric oven and the speed of rotation of the mold 10 according to the material of the confectionery.

In the hopper 22, a compartment is divided, and the outer material, which is the main material of flour, which is injected into the nozzle portion located opposite to the traveling direction of the mold 10, is stored, and the main raw material that is injected into the nozzle portion in the traveling direction is stored on the other side. Creamy ingredients are stored.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a single 22O volt DC motor is used to rotate each driven shaft in turn, and accordingly, a mechanism connected to the driven shaft sequentially performs a predetermined operation, and thus the configuration is simple. Compared with using a plurality of motors, the manufacturing cost is reduced and the parts are reduced.

Various modifications will be possible in this embodiment. For example, instead of moving the pusher with the wire 119, a separate exercise plate may be configured to move in the width direction of the bakery, such as a pusher connected to the second exercise plate 49 or the fourth exercise plate 49. Instead of using electric motors, hydraulic motors and hydraulic actuators can be used. In addition, other mechanical mechanisms may be used instead of the cams. All such modifications will be recognized by those skilled in the art as bakers having the same identity as the present invention.

The bakery according to the present invention is compact and can be installed to immediately bake and sell cookies in front of the consumer in the open air. Seeing the process of making sweets in places where consumers can directly contact them, they not only stimulate the desire to buy, but also put ingredients into the mold only when needed and process them into sweets. It has the advantage of being excellent.

In addition, in the present invention, instead of using a PLC and a plurality of motors, since the mechanism is sequentially operated by a single motor and a plurality of driven shafts driven by the same, the manufacturing cost is reduced and the number of parts is reduced.
