Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for automatic delivery of cooked foodstuffs, particularly for automatic delivering of hot pizzas. More specifically, the invention concerns an apparatus of the above kind allowing, in a very simple and reliable way, to automatically cook and deliver pizzas.
  • different solutions have been suggested for realising apparatuses for automatically delivering pizza ready to be eaten.
  • it must be mentioned the Italian Patent Application N ° TO99A001068, filed on December 3, 1999 in the name of Top Vending S.r.l , and the corresponding European Patent Application N° 1 107 199.
  • an apparatus for automatic delivering of hot pizzas, packaged within suitable containers.
  • Said apparatus comprises an envelope containing a plurality of operative assemblies for withdrawal of a pizza from a refrigerated storage unit, the withdrawal from the container and its transfer within a cooking electric oven. Then, cooked pizza is sent to a delivery slot, within a disposable tray.
  • the solution described and claimed in the above-mentioned document even if realised and operating, has some structural and functional drawbacks that do not allow an optimum exploitation of its potentiality. In this scenario it is provided the solution according to the present invention allowing to realise an apparatus for the automatic delivery of hot pizzas overcoming the drawbacks of the known solutions, and able to operate in a very simple and reliable way.
  • said device for separating the foodstuff from the packaging comprises a separation element of the last foodstuff, a packaging cutting group, a plane receiving the foodstuff separated from the packaging, and an element for advancement of the foodstuff toward the cooking zone.
  • a passage door is provided between said frigoriferic zone and said cooking zone.
  • said cooking zone provides a pre-heat oven, said grill means being driven by a motor.
  • said grill means act on take away packaging separation means, to prepare one ready to receive the cooked and hot foodstuff.
  • Figure 1 shows a general scheme of an apparatus according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows one of the containers for pizzas provided in the apparatus of figure 1 , with carriage and cutting - separation of the last foodstuff kinematic motion
  • Figure 3 shows the step of transferring a pizza from the refrigerator to the grill and to the oven of the apparatus of figure 1
  • Figure 4 shows the step of transferring the pizza from the oven to the heating zone within a "take-away" container.
  • FIG. 1 it is schematically shown an apparatus according to the invention, generically indicated by reference number A, providing a container for empty packagings 1 , a plurality of packagings 2 for pizzas, a cutting blade 3, a pizza pushing element 4, a grill 5, an oven 6, a dispenser 7 for the "take-away” packagings, a fork 8 for taking the empty packagings, and a pizza outlet slot 9.
  • FIG. 2 of the enclosed drawings it can be observed in greater detail one of the container 2 of the pizzas provided in apparatus A according to the invention, provided at the bottom with an assembly for separation of the last foodstuff 10.

  • By reference number 18 it is indicated the cam carrying carriage, pushing and recovering the empty pizza packagings.
  • For cutting the single packaging for extracting pizza 14, )evers 17 must pass from position A to position B, so that the film of the packaging is cut, thus being possible the falling of the pizza on the plane 19.
  • FIG 3 it is shown the mechanism for transferring the pizza
  • Apparatus A according to the invention can be used for delivering hot pizzas, staring from a new pizza, maintained within a refrigerator at a temperature between 0° and - A°C, within a polystyrene packaging, under controlled atmosphere, and employing a sealed polyethylene film.
  • apparatus A according to the invention the "pasteurisation" of the pizza is necessary, while cutting position has been eliminated, being provided directly under the container 2.
  • the position of the pizza within the container has been upset, as well as the position of pizzas within the store. Further, store can be rotated in positions of + 20°, 0° and - 120°.
  • Cycle of this section is so organised: rotation of the store about an operative axis; start of the movement for the driving of the cutting pizza (from the bottom, upward) and cut of the film with falling of the pizza on a transfer plane; advancement of pushing element 20, and at the same time, of the arm for withdrawal of the empty packaging; opening of the door 22 for the passage from the refrigerator zone B to the oven zone C, and direct transfer on the grill 5.
  • Empty pizza packaging once recovered by the fork during the return step of the system, is brought under the container 1 of the empty packagings and introduced within the same.
  • grill descends, enters within the oven, already heat at the start of the cycle (oven with resistance higher than and lower than 2500W each, high ventilation, wherein temperature is managed by 2 thermostats) .
  • pizza comes out from the oven and is discharged on a punched paperboard, that is sent toward the outlet mouth.
  • grill 5 ascends up to the mouth of the oven 6, and is introduced along with the pizza within the already switched on oven 6 (bare filament resistances of about 1 800 - 2000 watts) for a period of 55 seconds.
  • grill 5 exits and position in front of the separating element of the "take-away" packaging squeezed and having a wall folded inside lifting when the packaging is assembled, thus creating a wall opposed to the pizza inlet mouth and the pushing element introduces the pizza within the packaging, pushing element and grill come back in the position or ready for a new cycle. Take away is now positioned at 45 - 50 mm of the outlet mouth, thus being it possible to withdraw the same by a finger.

For loading of the apparatus according to the invention it is necessary only one operator, with a loading time of about 15 minutes, with respect to the known apparatuses requiring about 60 minutes and the work of two operators. Furthermore, apparatus according to the invention allows eliminating the stepping motors, thus reducing the costs.
  • a further advantage obtained by the apparatus according to the present invention is that of rationalising the stocks use by the user.
  • Still another advantage obtained by the described solution, providing a closed oven, is the reduction of the cooking time, this being an extremely important advantage for an apparatus as the one described, for the automatic delivering of hot pizzas.
