Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an exhaust cap for a grain confectionery molding apparatus,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a discharge cap provided in an apparatus for molding cereal sweets, which discharges the extruded cereal into a predetermined shape of cereal sweets.

Generally, a grain confectionery molding device is a device that turns grains into swollen confection by increasing the pressure and opening the outlet at a time by putting grains such as brown rice, rice, corn and soybeans into the enclosed space together with air.

Conventionally, a confectionery molding apparatus has a structure in which grains are heated by applying heat to the enclosed space, and the grains are extruded and pumped out in a state where the internal pressure of the enclosed space is increased by water vapor discharged from the cooked grains .

This type of grain confectionery is processed in a state where the grain is heated to about 280 ° C. When the grain is heated to 150 ° C. or higher, the nutrients are destroyed, the energy efficiency is lowered in the supply of the heat source, , There is a problem in that a separate circuit for temperature control must be added since the degree of heating required for each step differs in the process of processing the grain.

In addition, since the high temperature is generated by the heating device, the cooling capacity of the cooling means must be increased, and the lifetime of the device is shortened due to the heat of high temperature.

Accordingly, there has been proposed an apparatus for forming cereal pastry using a screw and a cylinder without using a separate heat source, in which cereals are fed into the interior of the cylinder through a hopper coupled with the cylinder, A screw which is rotated by a driving unit is provided for compressing and moving the screw.

Therefore, the grain fed into the cylinder is conveyed by the screw, and the spiral portion formed on the outer circumferential surface of the screw and the spiral portion formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder compress the grain to be fed, and the compressed grain self- The gel state is changed and then discharged to the outside through the discharge cap located at the front end of the cylinder.

The discharged gelatinous cereal is hardened in the air to become a continuous form of cereal sweets, and these cereal sweets are cut into a predetermined size through a repeatedly rotating blade located at the front of the discharge cap.

A conventional discharge cap provided in such a grain forming apparatus has a coupling hole formed along the circumferential direction on the outer side of the front surface to be coupled to a front surface of a cylinder having a screw therein, A discharge hole is formed so as to be discharged.

However, since the grains discharged through the discharge hole of the conventional discharge cap are partially discharged at different densities, due to such a difference in density, when the cereal sweets are consumed, the texture does not become smooth and it becomes difficult to feel the inherent flavor of the cereal sweets There is a problem that consumers' desire to purchase is deteriorated.

In addition, due to the difference in density of the grains passing through the discharge cap, the discharge cap is easily clogged by the grain in some cases, resulting in interruption of the molding operation or damage to the molding apparatus.
