Description

[0001] Apparatus for manufacturing shape using food material [0002]

The present invention relates to a shape processing apparatus using a food material, and more particularly, to a shape processing apparatus using food materials (for example, an example of a food material) by analyzing and processing image data of object to be processed (for example, text, numbers, (Shape) of a food material such as chocolate, cream, butter, cheese, and the like.

Chocolate is a type of cookie that is hardened by adding milk, butter, sugar and spices to cacao dough. These chocolates are mixed with emulsifiers such as cocoa, butter, vegetable fat, milk fat and lecithin in a predetermined ratio. Black chocolate is obtained by mixing lumps of sugar, cocoa, butter, optionally other fat, and cocoa. Milk chocolate contains milk fat and non-fat solid water as an additional ingredient. White chocolates do not add cocoa powder, but include milk fat and milk short fat solid water, sugar and cocoa, butter and vegetable fats. Chocolate mixtures can also be made using alternative fats instead of natural cocoa and butter. Such alternative fats include three classes of cocoa butter equivalents (CBE), cocoa butter substitutes (CBS), and cocoa butter exchanges (CBR). A detailed discussion of these different types of alternative fats, for example, Traitler, H. , Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society, 62 (2), 417-21 (1985).

These chocolates are used for snacks and gifts, and are manufactured in various shapes to give visual pleasure in addition to taste.

Conventional chocolate and chocolate sweets are usually in the form of plates, granules or variations thereof. When you want to obtain three-dimensional dolls or animal birds, use the method of giving the raw material of the liquid to the mold and giving birth to the pattern. Specifically, in a typical chocolate forming process, the chocolate mixture is first melted at about 45 DEG C and cooled to 29 to 30 DEG C with stirring to produce liquid chocolate. At this time, the liquid chocolate forms a seed crystal with a small lipid depending on the composition, and is dispersed throughout the liquid lipid phase of the liquid chocolate. Next, the liquid chocolate is injected into a polycarbonate mold. Then, the mold is vibrated to remove bubbles in the liquid chocolate, and at the same time, the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the mold. Next, the mold and the chocolate are cooled, the chocolate is hardened, and the chocolate which is finally solid-molded is removed from the mold.

In this method, a single shaped chocolate and chocolate confectionery is prepared by the prepared molds, so that not only a separate forming frame is required to produce different shapes of chocolate and chocolate confectionery, There is a limit to the difficulty of producing chocolate confectionery.

The present invention relates to a shape processing apparatus using a food material, and more particularly, to a shape processing apparatus using food materials (for example, an example of a food material) by analyzing and processing image data of object to be processed (for example, text, numbers, (Shape) of a food material such as chocolate, cream, butter, cheese, and the like.

1 is a configuration diagram of a shape processing apparatus using a food material according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the shape processing apparatus 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention analyzes and processes the workpiece information (for example, text, numbers, figures, images, etc.) So that the workpiece 170 of the chocolate component can be realized. The shape processing apparatus 100 includes a user interface unit 110, a control unit 120, an X-Y transfer unit 130, a driving unit 140, a supply unit 150, and a plate 160. Figs. 6 and 7 show actual images of the shape processing apparatus 100. Fig.

The shape processing apparatus 100 of the present invention can use food materials such as chocolate, candy, confectionery, bakery material (fresh cream, cheese, butter, etc.), but it is preferable to process chocolate. Here, the description will be limited to chocolate for convenience of explanation. At this time, the chocolate can be manufactured by adding dairy products, perfumes and the like to the chocolate as a main raw material, using cacao mass, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, edible oil, and saccharides as its main raw materials. This includes cacao mass, white chocolate without cocoa powder, and color chocolate.

The workpiece 170 may be directly formed on the plate 160 or may be formed on the base member by placing a separate base member (e.g., cake, cookie, etc.) on the plate 160. [ At this time, the plate 160 has a cooling function to shorten the forming time of the workpiece 170, so that the workpiece 170 can be quenched. The shape processing apparatus 100 may also cool the workpiece 170 by forming a cooling chamber (not shown) outside to shorten the time for forming the workpiece 170. This can be used when forming the three-dimensional workpiece 170.

The user interface unit 110 is interlocked with the control unit 120 and provides a user input / output interface environment for operating the shape processing apparatus 100 so that the shape of the workpiece to be formed by the shape processing apparatus 100 Can be input from the user.

The user interface unit 110 may be embodied in a form of a computer environment built in the shape processing apparatus 100 or in a form of interfacing with an ordinary computer (PC), a notebook computer or the like outside the shape processing apparatus 100 . In this case, when the computer environment is implemented inside or outside the shape processing apparatus 100, the user interface unit 110 transmits predetermined software or application (that is, program) for operating the shape processing apparatus 100 to the corresponding computer It is preferable to construct an environment capable of generating, modifying, and editing workpiece information, but it is also possible to directly input and receive workpiece information in a state in which work can be performed through the shape processing apparatus 100 through the outside .

The control unit 120 analyzes and processes the workpiece information inputted from the user interface unit 110 to control the XY transfer unit 130 to mold the workpiece 170 of the chocolate component on the plate 160 . At this time, the control unit 120 controls the driving unit connected to the piston of the supply unit 150 to supply the chocolate stored in the supply unit 150 to the outside with predetermined capacity. Here, the chocolate is supplied onto the outer plate 160 by the upward and downward movement of the piston 251 connected to the driving part 140.

When the piston 251 connected to the driving unit 140 is difficult to move up and down due to a predetermined abnormality such as chocolate hardening, the control unit 120 may use a communication unit (not shown) (E.g., a short message).

The X-Y transfer unit 130 moves along the X-axis and the Y-axis with reference to the X-Y coordinate plane under the control of the control unit 120. At this time, the XY transfer unit 130 may operate in a range covering the entire area of the plate 160 according to the user's setting, or may be limited in a range having a predetermined margin at the edge of the plate 160 .

When the two-dimensional workpiece 170 is to be formed, the X-Y transfer unit 130 moves based on the X-Y coordinate plane. However, when the three-dimensional workpiece is to be formed, the X-Y transfer unit 130 can move along another Z axis. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The driving unit 140 moves the piston of the supplying unit 150 up and down to supply the chocolate in the supplying unit 150 onto the plate 160. The driving unit 140 is mounted on the X-Y transfer unit 130 and interacts with the piston of the supply unit 150. For example, the driving unit 140 can change the rotational motion of the motor to the upward and downward movement of the piston through the coupling of the piston and the lever gear of the supply unit.

The supply unit 150 is mounted on the X-Y transfer unit 130 together with the drive unit 140 and the piston 151 connected to the drive unit 140 can move up and down. Here, the supply unit 150 may be mounted on the X-Y transfer unit 130 at least one, and may supply white, milk, and black chocolate as needed. At this time, the X-Y transfer unit 130 is vertically rotatable and mounted on each of the supply units 150, so that each of the supply units 150 can be easily replaced.

The supply unit 150 also forms the nozzle unit 152 for precisely feeding the chocolate to the end (that is, the side of the plate 160) at which the chocolate is supplied onto the plate 160. Here, the nozzle unit 152 may be integrally formed with the supply unit 150, or may be formed in a detachable state through a screw connection.

Feeding part Meanwhile, the feeding part 150 may contain chocolate in a liquefied state and / or a gel state. The supply unit 150 may be liquid and / or gel-like when it is discharged into the nozzle unit 352 after being supplied with the solid state chocolate. A viscosity adjusting device may be provided on the path through which the chocolate is supplied.

The viscosity adjusting device may be a device for causing the chocolate supplied through the supply part 150 to be maintained in a liquid state and / or a gel state. For example, as described above, when liquid and / or gelatinous chocolate is supplied from the outside, the state can be maintained. Alternatively, when a solid chocolate is supplied from the outside, the state of the chocolate can be changed in liquid and / or gel form.

The viscosity adjusting device can be operated by a control signal of the control part 320. [ For example, the viscosity regulator may be selectively operated. That is, it means that the viscosity adjusting device can be operated or the operation can be stopped according to the operation state of the device, the state of the chocolate, and the like. The viscosity of the liquid and / or gelatinous chocolate may vary depending on the temperature. The control unit 320 can control the operation of the viscosity adjusting device to maintain an optimum viscosity for printing through the nozzle unit 342. [

The viscosity regulating device may be configured in various forms. For example, it may be a heating unit 153 for applying heat to prevent the curing of chocolate within the supply unit 150 and to maintain the state of chocolate in which the object to be processed 170 is easy to process. At this time, the heating unit 153 may be installed inside and / or outside the supply unit 150. The heating unit 153 may be installed inside and / or outside the nozzle unit 152. Here, the heating unit 153 may be configured using a thermoelectric module (Peltier element).

On the other hand, the heating unit 153 can be inserted into the concentric shaft of the supply unit 150 in the form of a heat line to prevent the chocolate from hardening (not shown). Here, the hot wire can be rotated in the screw-shaped helical direction (not shown in the drawing).

Here, the controller 120 senses the temperature state of the chocolate stored in the supply unit 150 through the temperature sensor 154 to maintain the chocolate state at an optimal temperature (for example, between 30 ° C and 40 ° C) .

Particularly, it is preferable that the heating part 153 maintain an optimum temperature (for example, between 30 ° C and 40 ° C) so that the chocolate in the supply part 150 or the nozzle part 152 is maintained in a gel state .

That is, it is important to maintain the viscosity of the chocolate in order to form a high quality workpiece 170. If the viscosity of the chocolate is low, a lot of chocolate is ejected to the outside of the feeding unit 150, and fine processing is difficult. Also, if the viscosity of the chocolate is high, the ejection of the chocolate out of the feeding part 150 is not smooth, resulting in an intermittent unprocessed section. Therefore, a method of measuring the viscosity of chocolate is needed to maintain a good viscosity of the chocolate inside the feeder 150.

The control unit 120 may calculate the viscosity of chocolate in the supply unit 150 by calculating the load signal of the driving unit 140. Next, the second method of measuring the viscosity of chocolate will be described. The controller 120 may measure the viscosity of the chocolate in the supply unit 150 by calculating the moving distance and the speed of the piston 151. In addition, the third method for measuring the viscosity of chocolate will be described. The chocolate viscosity can be measured by measuring the speed with the sensor when the chocolate comes out of the supply unit 150.

If the viscosity of the chocolate is high, the controller 120 can increase the temperature of the heating unit 153 to adjust the viscosity of the chocolate in the supply unit 150. On the contrary, when the chocolate viscosity is low, the controller 120 can stop the operation of the heating unit 153 and adjust the viscosity of chocolate. At this time, the controller 120 may adjust the viscosity of chocolate by processing a cooling unit (not shown).

Meanwhile, the control unit 120 controls the X-Y transfer unit 130 as follows.

The control unit 120 measures the distance between the workpiece 170 and the nozzle unit 152 using a distance measuring sensor (not shown) (for example, an ultrasonic wave or an infrared ray sensor) The workpiece 170 can be manufactured while keeping the gap. This prevents the collision between the nozzle unit 152 and the workpiece 170 when the workpiece 170 is formed on the base member by mounting a separate base member (not shown) on the plate 160 It is for this reason. At this time, the X-Y transfer part 130 is made movable in the Z-axis direction.

The control unit 120 controls the XY transfer unit 130 based on the preset reference points X0 and Y0 of the XY transfer unit 130, the X axis movement ranges X0 through Xn and the Y axis movement ranges Y0 through Yn of the XY transfer unit 130, (X, Y) of the XY transferring unit 130 on the XY transferring unit 160.

The control unit 120 analyzes and processes the workpiece information inputted from the user interface unit 110 to check the position value to supply the chocolate on the plate 160 and then controls the XY transfer unit 130 according to the position value. To the corresponding position to implement the object to be moved.

For example, when the user inputs "a" as the workpiece information in the screen area provided through the user interface unit 110, the controller 120 displays the information on the workpiece information Analyze the coordinate values of "a". 3, 3, 2, 3, 4, 5) in the screen area of the user interface unit 110. That is, (3,3), (3,3), (3,2), and (3,3), the coordinate values of the workpiece information " 3,1) ". (3, 2), (3, 2), (3, 1) ", " The XY transfer unit 130 can be moved to supply the chocolate on the plate 160. [

The control unit 120 analyzes and processes the coordinate values of the workpiece information corresponding to the screen area of the user interface unit 110 and then controls the XY transfer unit 130 according to the position value of the workpiece information The object to be processed 170 can be realized.

When the control unit 120 starts to operate, the initial position of the XY transfer unit 130 is located at a preset reference point (i.e., a reference point of the screen area), so that the XY transfer unit 130 And is positioned on the plate 160 corresponding to the reference point according to the control. If the controller 120 detects an abnormal state, the control unit 120 stores the final coordinate value of the XY transfer unit 130, resumes the operation of the XY transfer unit 130 at the last coordinate value stored after the abnormal state is eliminated can do.

2 is a view illustrating a process of supplying chocolate according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 120 can form the workpiece using the coordinate values (X, Y) on the X-Y coordinate plane constituted by the movement of the X-Y transfer unit 130.

That is, the control unit 120 associates the workpiece information with the coordinate values (X, Y) on the XY coordinate plane to obtain a corresponding coordinate value (hereinafter referred to as "workpiece coordinate value") for implementing the workpiece information Check. At this time, the control unit 120 corresponds to the 'pressure value of the piston 151' and the movement speed value of the X-Y transfer unit 130, which are preset for the coordinate values of the workpiece.

First, the control unit 120 recognizes a continuous machining interval when the X coordinate values or the Y coordinate values are arranged adjacent to each other in a pair of coordinate values of the workpiece to be sequentially formed. At this time, the control unit 120 controls the piston 151 to maintain the pressure of the piston 151 constant, and controls the X-Y transfer unit 130 to maintain the moving speed of the X-Y transfer unit 130 constant. This is to supply a uniform amount of chocolate by keeping the moving speed of the X-Y transfer part 130 constant in the continuous processing section.

On the other hand, when the X coordinate value or the Y coordinate value is arranged at a distance from the coordinate values of the pair of workpieces to be sequentially formed, the controller 120 recognizes it as a discontinuous machining section. At this time, the control unit 120 controls the piston 151 to stop the pressure of the piston 151, measure the distance between the coordinate values of the workpiece, and then control the XY transfer unit 130 to move the XY transfer unit 130 Adjust the speed.

That is, the control unit 120 controls the X-Y transfer unit 130 to maintain the moving speed of the X-Y transfer unit 130 constant when the distance between the coordinate values of the workpiece is less than a predetermined threshold value. The control unit 120 controls the piston 151 to stop the pressure of the piston 151 and controls the XY transfer unit 130 to transfer the XY transfer unit 130 to the XY transfer unit 130. [ 130). This is to prevent the noise caused by the remaining chocolate of the nozzle unit 152 of the supply unit 150 by quickly moving the X-Y transfer unit 130 from the first workpiece coordinate value to the second workpiece coordinate value. That is, the discontinuous machining section is connected to the residual chocolate of the nozzle section 152, thereby preventing unnecessary chocolate from being supplied to the discontinuous machining section.

On the other hand, when the controller 120 moves the XY feeder 130 without supplying the chocolate to a predetermined threshold time or less, it does not supply chocolate but keeps the moving speed of the XY feeder 130 constant And controls the XY transfer unit 130. Similarly, when moving the X-Y feeder 130 while supplying chocolate, the controller 120 controls the X-Y feeder 130 by determining the moving speed of the X-Y feeder 130 as a constant velocity section. In this way, the controller 120 can maintain the moving speed of the X-Y transfer part 130 constant in the chocolate supplying section, thereby supplying the chocolate with uniform capacity onto the plate 160. [

2, when the workpiece information is "Ghana", the continuous machining section corresponds to "a", "a", "b", "a", and the discontinuous machining section corresponds to "a" and " "Between" b "and" a ", and between" a "and" me ".

At this time, the control unit 120 controls the piston 151 to maintain the pressure of the piston 151 constant when forming the continuous machining sections "a", "a", "b", " The XY transferring unit 130 is controlled to maintain the moving speed of the XY transferring unit 130 constant.

The control unit 120 determines that the coordinate value of the workpiece to be processed is between the "a" and the "a" and the "b" and the "a" .

On the other hand, when forming between the discontinuous machining sections " a "and" b ", the control section 120 determines that the coordinate value of the workpiece is greater than or equal to the threshold value and controls the piston 151, And controls the XY transfer unit 130 to accelerate the movement speed of the XY transfer unit 130. [

The control unit 120 controls the piston 151 to stop the pressure of the piston 151 and controls the XY transfer unit 130 to transfer the XY transfer unit 130 May be accelerated. Which will be easily understood by those skilled in the art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, the shape processing apparatus 100 includes a cleaning section (not shown) for cleaning the residual chocolate of the nozzle section 152. At this time, the cleaning unit may be implemented by a method of cleaning the nozzle unit 152 using a brush, or a method of cleaning the nozzle unit 152 with water in a water tank of a predetermined size.

3 is a configuration diagram of a shape processing apparatus using a food material according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the XY transfer unit shown in FIG. 3 can be realized by separating the fixing unit 331a and the XY transfer unit 331b from each other. 3 has a structure in which the supply part 350a is fixed to the fixing part 331a and the XY transfer part 331b is disposed in the lower part of the supply part 350a. At this time, the plate 361 is placed on the upper surface of the XY transfer part 331b. The workpiece 371 is formed in accordance with the X-axis or Y-axis movement of the XY transfer section 331b.

4 is a configuration diagram of a shape processing apparatus using a food material for forming a three-dimensional workpiece according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 includes a user interface unit 411, a control unit 421, a communication unit 431, an XYZ transfer unit 441a, a fixing unit 441b driving unit 451, a supplying unit 461, And includes a plate 471.

These components will be readily understood by those skilled in the art from the description of FIG. 1, and therefore, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The shape machining apparatus 400 shown in Fig. 4 operates as follows to form a three-dimensional workpiece.

The X-Y-Z transfer section 441a is movable with respect to the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis to form a three-dimensional workpiece. At this time, the X-Y-Z transfer unit 441a and the fixing unit 441b can be formed by separating the movements of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis, respectively, as shown in FIG.

In addition, the cooling portion can cool the chocolate sprayed on the object. For example, a cooling environment in which the cooling chamber 480 quenches the chocolate can be provided to prevent the chocolate from flowing down by the supply of chocolate. The cooling chamber 480 disposes the X-Y-Z transfer portion 441a, the supply portion 461, the plate 471, and the like therein.

The cooling section may operate between the primary chocolate supply and the secondary chocolate supply. That is, it means that the chocolate supplied first can be hardened (cured) and then the chocolate can be supplied at least once. Through the repetition of such operations, the chocolate can be stacked in the Z-axis direction.

As shown in Fig. 4, the shape processing apparatus 400 for forming a three-dimensional object to be processed is configured to supply a chocolate on an XY coordinate plane along the Z axis and to laminate the object, thereby forming an object to be processed having a three- . That is, the shape processing device 400 can form a three-dimensional workpiece by ultimately laminating chocolate along the Z-axis to the end face (that is, the X-Y plane) of the three-dimensional workpiece with respect to the Z axis.

For example, a case where the shape processing device 400 forms a snowman-like three-dimensional workpiece will be described. At this time, the shape processing apparatus 400 forms a circle having a radius r + 2 at time t-1, forms a circle having a radius r at time t, forms a circle having a radius r + 2 at time t + The case of molding is assumed. At this time, after the X-Y-Z transfer unit is positioned at Z = 1 at time t-1, a circle having a radius r + 2 size is formed on the X-Y plane. After that, the shape processing device 400 positions the X-Y-Z transfer portion at Z = 2 at time t, and then forms a circle having a radius r size in the X-Y plane. Further, the shape processing apparatus 400 positions the X-Y-Z transfer portion at Z = 3 at time t + 1, and forms a circle having a radius r + 2 size in the X-Y plane.

As described above, the shape processing apparatus 400 can form a three-dimensional solid body having a desired shape by forming the XY section of the three-dimensional object to be processed on the XY plane by fixing the X axis of the XYZ transfer section 441a at time t. Here, the shape machining apparatus 400 can improve the accuracy of the three-dimensional workpiece by finely adjusting the moving range of the XYZ transfer section 441a. Further, the shape processing device 400 can be selected when the inside of the three-dimensional object to be processed is filled with chocolate or when it is empty.

5 is a configuration diagram of a shape processing apparatus using a food material for molding a three-dimensional workpiece according to another embodiment of the present invention.

5, the shape processing apparatus 500 of FIG. 5 includes a user interface unit 511, a control unit 521, a communication unit 531, an XYZ transfer unit 541a, a fixing unit 541b driving unit 551, 561, and a plate 571.

The shape processing apparatus 500 shown in Fig. 5 operates as follows to form a three-dimensional workpiece.

The X-Y-Z feeder 541a is movable with respect to the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis to form a three-dimensional workpiece. At this time, the X-Y-Z transporting unit 541a and the fixing unit 541b can be formed by separating movement of each of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis as shown in FIG.

In addition, the cooling gas supply unit 580 can cool the chocolate to a part of the area where the chocolate is supplied, and prevent the chocolate from flowing down by the supply of the chocolate. The cooling gas supply unit 580 is supplied with cooling gas to a portion to be supplied through the supply unit 561.

As such, it is desirable that the shape processing apparatus 400 provide an environment in which the chocolate can be quenched. This is to prevent the chocolate from flowing down when the chocolate is stacked by the shape processing device 400 so that the shape of the object to be processed can be normally maintained.

To this end, the shape processing apparatus 400 is configured to position the component for forming the chocolate inside the cooling chamber to maintain the cooling state of the entire region of the workpiece (see FIG. 4) It is possible to constitute a case where the cooling state of a partial area of the workpiece is maintained (refer to Fig. 5).

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are schematic views of the cooling chamber of FIG.

As shown in Fig. 6, the cooling chamber 480 of Fig. 4 can easily move the plate 471, and can input and output the workpiece formed by the shape processing device 400. Fig.

To this end, the cooling chamber 480 can open and close the cooling chamber opening / closing part 481 of the X-Z plane, which is easy to access by the user, by rotating the cooling chamber opening / closing part 481 by 90 degrees with respect to the X axis. Here, the plate 471 can move inside and outside the cooling chamber 480 in a sliding manner or a rail manner.

The cooling chamber 480 shown in Fig. 7 can be moved inside and outside by rotating the plate 471 relative to the Z axis by placing the plate 471 on the cooling chamber opening / closing portion 481 in the XY plane. The cooling chamber 480 is configured such that the plate 471 is closed while being inserted into the cooling chamber 480 through the rotation about the Z axis and the plate 471 is opened while being exposed to the outside of the cooling chamber 480 .

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims. That is, in place of chocolate, the chocolate processing apparatus of the present invention can be replaced with various materials having viscosity such as fresh cream, syrup, kneaded flour and the like, and this case is within the scope of the present invention.
