Description

Dual crackers manufacturing equipment}

The present invention relates to a fried rice cake manufacturing device, and in particular, is configured to produce two fried rice cakes from the same grain or two fried rice cakes from different grains in one operation.

Puffed fried rice is a thin snack made by placing grains such as rice, potatoes, corn, etc. in a mold, heating and frying them, and refers to a snack that is inflated by an instantaneous pressure difference when it is fried.

Briefly looking at the operating relationship of the device that produces this kind of puffed rice, generally, the links are operated by cams rotated by a drive motor to put grain into the opened mold and close the mold. Then, after heating the mold for a certain period of time, the mold is opened, and the grains in the mold are fried into thin snacks and come out of the mold to make puffed rice cakes.

Conventional puffed rice production equipment is configured to produce only one puffed rice per rotation of a cam by a drive motor.

Therefore, the conventional puffed rice production device has the disadvantage that it is difficult to increase the production amount of puffed rice cakes per hour, and in order to increase production, the number of puffed rice production devices must be increased. In this way, if the production volume decreases while the number of puffed rice production devices is increased, an economic loss occurs as the unused puffed rice production devices must be left unattended.

In addition, since the conventional puffed rice production apparatus only produces puffed rice from grains contained in a hopper, there is the inconvenience of having to frequently replace the grains filled in the hopper in order to produce different types of fried rice.

Below, the operational relationship of the dual puffed rice production device according to the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6A, there are two hoppers 91 in the grain supply unit 9, and each hopper 91 can be filled with the same type of grain or different grains. As a result, when the same grain is filled, the first drive shaft (32) produces two puffs of the same grain per rotation, and when it is filled with different grains, the first drive shaft (32) produces one puff of the different grain per rotation. It is manufactured.

Meanwhile, the discharge module 92 of the grain supply unit 9 discharges grains loaded in the hopper 91 by operating the circular supply rod 921. At this time, the feeder 11 of the feeding unit 10 is waiting at the discharge port 923 of the discharge module 92, and the supply ring 14 located on the upper surface of the supply plate 13 receives the discharged grains. do. Afterwards, the feeder 11 moves to the upper part of the lower mold 8 by the drive module. At this time, as shown in Figure 4b, the rollers 151 and 161 installed on each operating lever 15 and 16 move the second cam ( After passing through the operation section 51 of 5), the supply plate 13 and the supply ring 14 move simultaneously to the upper part of the lower mold 8, and then the supply plate 13 is returned to the original position, and then the supply ring (14) is returned to supply grain to the chamber (85) of the lower mold (8). In addition, the operating unit 6 has a guide bar 63 moving along the outer peripheral surface of the first cam 4 located at the bottom dead center so as to open the lower mold 8 and the upper mold 7, and a corresponding lever ( Since 61) is located at top dead center through a seesaw movement, it operates to lift the upper mold (7) and supply grain through the feeder (11).

The mold is closed to pressurize the chamber 85. Accordingly, heat and pressure are applied to the grain in the upper and lower molds (7, 8), which are mold parts in which the heater rods (76, 84) are installed.

Here, the guide bar 63 moving along the first cam 4 descends at predetermined intervals while passing through the straight sections 41 and 41' of the first cam 4, and the lever 61 rises correspondingly. Accordingly, the upper mold 7 is raised at a predetermined interval and the gas generated within the chamber 85 is discharged twice. Afterwards, when the guide bar 63 of the operating unit 6 passes the pressing piece 42, the guide bar 63 rapidly descends and the lever 61 rises rapidly correspondingly, so that the operation of the lever 61 In conjunction with , the upper mold (7) is quickly separated from the lower mold (8).
