- the kneading blade 72 rotates around the axis of the support shaft 71 together with the support shaft 71, and takes two postures, a folding posture shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 and an open posture shown in FIG.
- a protrusion 72a (see FIG. 14) hanging from the lower edge of the kneading blade 72 hits a stopper portion 70e (see FIG. 15) provided on the upper surface of the cover 70.
- the direction (viewed from above) cannot be rotated.
- the tip of the kneading blade 72 slightly protrudes from the cover 70. From here, the kneading blade 72 rotates counterclockwise (viewed from above) and when the kneading blade 72 is in the open position shown in FIG.
- the cover 70 is formed with a window 74 that communicates the space inside the cover and the space outside the cover.
- the window 74 is arranged at a height that is equal to or higher than the grinding blade 54. In the embodiment, a total of four windows 74 are arranged at 90 ° intervals, but other numbers and arrangement intervals can be selected.
- each rib 75 extends obliquely from the vicinity of the center of the cover 70 to the outer peripheral annular wall with respect to the radial direction, and the four ribs 75 constitute a kind of bowl shape. Further, each rib 75 is curved so that the side facing the bread-making raw material that presses toward it is convex.
- a clutch 76 (see FIG. 17) is interposed between the cover 70 and the blade rotation shaft 52.
- the clutch 76 rotates in the rotation direction of the blade rotation shaft 52 when the kneading motor 60 rotates the driving shaft 14 for kneading the bread-making material (the rotation in this direction is the “forward rotation”.
- the blade rotation shaft 52 and the cover 70 are connected.
- the rotation direction of the blade rotation shaft 52 when the pulverization motor 64 rotates the driving shaft 14 for pulverizing the grain (the rotation in this direction is referred to as “reverse rotation”.
- the clutch 76 disconnects the connection between the blade rotation shaft 52 and the cover 70.
- the “forward rotation” is counterclockwise rotation
- the “reverse rotation” is clockwise rotation.
- the clutch 76 includes a first engagement body 76a and a second engagement body 76b.
- the first engaging body 76a is fixed or integrally formed with the hub 54a of the pulverizing blade 54, and is thus non-rotatably attached to the blade rotating shaft 52.
- the second engagement body 76b is fixed or integrally formed with the support shaft 71 of the kneading blade 72, and changes the angle as the posture of the kneading blade 72 changes.
- the clutch 76 switches the connection state according to the posture of the kneading blade 72. That is, when the kneading blade 72 is in the folded position, the second engagement body 76b is at the angle shown in FIG. At this time, the second engagement body 76b interferes with the rotation trajectory of the first engagement body 76a, and when the blade rotation shaft 52 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. Engaging with the engaging body 76 b, the rotational force of the blade rotation shaft 52 is transmitted to the cover 70 and the kneading blade 72. When the kneading blade 72 is in the open posture, the second engagement body 76b has an angle shown in FIG.
- the second engagement body 76b is retracted from the rotation track of the first engagement body 76a, and even if the blade rotation shaft 52 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. No engagement occurs between the second engagement bodies 76b. Accordingly, the rotational force of the blade rotation shaft 52 is not transmitted to the cover 70 and the kneading blade 72.
- the opening angle of the kneading blade 72 is limited by a stopper portion 70f (see FIGS. 16 and 17) formed on the inner surface of the cover. That is, the maximum opening angle of the kneading blade 72 is when the second engagement body 76b hits the stopper portion 70f.
- a complementary kneading blade 77 is formed on the outer surface of the cover 70 so as to line up with the kneading blade 72.
- the complementary kneading blade 77 is aligned with the kneading blade 72 in the folded position. That is, when the kneading blade 72 is in the folded position, the complementary kneading blades 77 are arranged on the extension of the kneading blade 72, and it is as if the “ ⁇ ” shape of the kneading blade 72 is enlarged.
- a recess 55 for accommodating the grinding blade 54 and the cover 70 is formed at the bottom of the bread container 50.
- the recess 55 is circular in a planar shape, and a gap 56 is formed between the outer periphery of the cover 70 and the inner surface of the recess 55 to allow the bread-making material to flow.
- a guard 78 that covers the lower surface of the cover 70 and prevents the finger from approaching the grinding blade 54 is detachably attached.
- the guard 78 has a structure shown in FIG. That is, there is a ring-shaped hub 78a through which the blade rotation shaft 52 passes, and a ring-shaped rim 78b at the periphery.
- a plurality of spokes 78c connect the hub 78a and the rim 78b. Between the spokes 78c is an opening 78d through which grain grains crushed by the pulverizing blade 54 are passed.
- the opening 78d has a size that prevents a finger from passing through.
- the guard 78 When the guard 78 is attached to the cover 70, the guard 78 is brought into a proximity state with the grinding blade 54. Specifically, the spoke 78c and the pulverizing blade 54 approach each other so as not to contact each other. It is as if the guard 78 is a rotary electric razor outer blade and the grinding blade 54 is an inner blade.
- the spoke 78c does not extend linearly along the radius of the guard 78, but the blade rotation shaft 52 rotates in the forward direction (counterclockwise as viewed from above), and the cover 70 and the guard 78 also rotate in the forward direction. At this time, the center side of the guard 78 extends (passes the reference diameter line first), and the peripheral side of the guard 78 extends (passes the reference diameter line with a delay toward the center side).
- the spoke 78c is curved, but may be linear.
- a plurality of pillars 78e surrounding the cover 70 are integrally formed on the rim 78b at a predetermined angular interval on the periphery of the guard 78.
- a total of four columns 78e are arranged at intervals of 90 °.
- a side surface 78f of the column 78e which is the front surface in the rotation direction when the blade rotation shaft 52 rotates in the forward direction, is inclined upward. Further, the lower end of the pillar 78e protrudes below the spoke 78c.
- the pillar 78e also serves to connect the guard 78 to the cover 70.
- a horizontal groove 78g having one end dead end is formed on a side surface of the column 78e facing the guard center side.
- a projection 70c that engages with the groove 78g is formed on the outer periphery of the cover 70 as shown in FIG.
- a total of eight protrusions 70c are arranged at 45 ° intervals.
- the groove 78g and the protrusion 70c constitute a bayonet connection.
- the twisting direction of the guard 78 when the groove 78g is engaged with the protrusion 70c coincides with the reverse rotation direction of the blade rotation shaft 52. For this reason, even if the cover 70 rotates in the forward direction for kneading, the guard 78 does not fall off the cover 70.
- a mechanism is provided between the pillar 78e and the cover 70 so that the guard 78 does not come off the cover 70 so easily. That is, a protrusion 78h extending vertically like a ridge is formed inside the groove 78g, and a recess 70d for engaging the protrusion 78h is formed on the protrusion 70c.
- the projection 78h is elastically engaged with the recess 70d. As a result, a predetermined resistance is generated against the twist in the removing direction of the guard 78.
- the guard 78 is molded from a heat-resistant engineering plastic such as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS).
- PPS polyphenylene sulfide
- the blade rotation shaft 52 is made of metal
- the hub 54a of the grinding blade 54 that becomes the blade rotation bearing insertion portion of the cover 70 is also made of metal.
- a heat insulating layer is formed on one or both surfaces of the fitting portion of the blade rotation shaft 52 to the hub 54a and the inner surface of the hub 54a.
- a cap-like heat insulating layer 79 is covered on the tip of the blade rotation shaft 52.
- the heat insulating layer 79 has a length that extends further below the grinding blade 54.
- the heat insulating layer 79 can be formed by so-called insert molding in which the tip of the blade rotation shaft 52 is placed in a mold and injection molding of a synthetic resin is performed.
- As a material resin for the heat insulation layer 79 an engineering plastic excellent in heat resistance and strength, for example, polyacetal (POM) is employed.
- the pulverizing blade 54 and the cover 70 constitute a unit that cannot be separated.
- the guard 78 prevents the finger from approaching the crushing blade 54, so that the finger may touch the crushing blade 54 and injure the finger. Can be reduced.
- FIG. 22 is an overall flowchart of the first aspect bread manufacturing process. As shown in FIG. 22, in the first aspect bread manufacturing process, the process proceeds in the order of pre-grinding impregnation process # 10, pulverization process # 20, kneading process # 30, fermentation process # 40, and baking process # 50. Then, the content of each process is demonstrated.
- step # 11 the user measures the grain and puts a predetermined amount into the bread container 50.
- Rice grains are most easily available as grains, but other grains such as wheat, barley, straw, buckwheat, buckwheat, corn and the like can also be used.
- step # 12 the user measures the liquid and puts a predetermined amount into the bread container 50.
- a common liquid is water, but it may be a liquid having a taste component such as broth or fruit juice. Alcohol may be contained. Note that the order of step # 11 and step # 12 may be switched.
- the operation of putting the grains and liquid into the bread container 50 may be performed by taking the bread container 50 out of the baking chamber 40 or may be performed while the bread container 50 is put in the baking chamber 40.
- Step # 13 starts from this point.
- Step # 13 the mixture of cereal grains and liquid is allowed to stand in the bread container 50, and the cereal grains are impregnated with the liquid.
- the heating means 41 may be energized to increase the temperature of the baking chamber 40.
- step # 14 the control device 80 checks how much time has elapsed since the start of standing of the grain and liquid. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the pre-grinding impregnation step # 10 ends. This is notified to the user by display on the operation unit 20 or by voice.
- Step # 21 is started when the user inputs grinding operation data (type and amount of grain, type of bread to be baked, etc.) through the operation unit 20 and presses the start key.
- step # 21 the controller 80 drives the grinding motor 64 to rotate the blade rotation shaft 52 in the reverse direction. Then, the grinding blade 54 starts rotating in the mixture of the grain and the liquid.
- the cover 70 also follows the blade rotation shaft 52 and starts to rotate.
- the rotation direction of the cover 70 at this time is a clockwise direction in FIG. 18, and the kneading blade 72 turns to the open position by the resistance received from the mixture of the grain and the liquid when it has been in the folded position.
- the clutch 76 disconnects the connection between the blade rotation shaft 52 and the cover 70 by the second engagement body 76b retracting from the rotation locus of the first engagement body 76a.
- the kneading blade 72 in the open position hits the protrusion 50a on the inner wall of the bread container 50 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the blade rotating shaft 52 and the pulverizing blade 54 rotate at high speeds in opposite directions.
- FIG. 32 and FIG. 33 are virtual top views showing structural examples in which the present invention is not implemented.
- the reference numerals used in the description of the embodiment of the present invention are used as they are.
- the position of the support shaft 71A is different from that of the embodiment of the present invention.
- the rotation radius from the center of the support shaft 71A to the tip of the kneading blade 72A is as large as the kneading blade 72 and the complementary kneading blade 77 are combined.
- the kneading blade 72 When the rotation radius of the kneading blade 72A is large as described above, the kneading blade 72 hits the inner wall of the bread container 50 in an open posture as shown in FIG. 32, and in an incomplete open posture as shown in FIG. Even when it hits the protrusion 50a, the cover 70 is stopped. In this state, since the second engagement body 76b is not retracted from the rotation track of the first engagement body 76a, when the first engagement body 76a arrives there, the kneading blade 72 is pressed against the protrusion 50a in the posture of FIG. It becomes impossible to move. As a result, the rotating system from the kneading blade 72 to the pulverization motor 64 stops, and the pulverization motor 64 may be burned out.
- the kneading blade 72 that hits the protrusion 50a in an incomplete opening posture has a turning radius from the center of the support shaft 71 to the tip of the kneading blade 72 has an incomplete opening posture. It is set to a value that can pass through the contact portion with the protrusion 50a. Since the kneading blade 72 shown in FIG. 19 passes through the protrusion 50a, the rotation system from the kneading blade 72 to the pulverization motor 64 does not stop, and the pulverization motor 64 does not burn out. Since the kneading blade 72 that has passed through the upper protrusion 50a in FIG. 19 is in a completely open posture until reaching the lower protrusion 50a in FIG. 19, the same is repeated in the lower protrusion 50a in FIG. There is nothing.
- the cover 70 and the kneading blade 72 stop when the kneading blade 72 in the open position hits the protrusion 50a, so that even if the crushing blade 54 rotates at a high speed, the mixture of grains and liquid vortexes in the bread container 50. Do not roll. Therefore, the vortex swells at the periphery and does not spill out of the bread container 50.
- the guard 78 While the kneading blade 72 hits the protrusion 50a and stops the rotation of the cover 70, the guard 78 also stops rotating. Grain grains entering the cover 70 from the opening 78d of the guard 78 are sheared between the stationary spoke 78c and the rotating grinding blade 54, so that the grinding performance is improved.
- the pulverization by the pulverization blade 54 is performed in a state where the liquid is immersed in the cereal grains, so that the cereal grains can be easily pulverized to the core.
- the ribs 75 extending from the vicinity of the center of the cover 70 to the outer peripheral annular wall suppress the flow of the mixture of the grain and the liquid in the same direction as the rotation direction of the grinding blade 54 and assist the grinding. That is, the rib 75 changes the flow of the mixture and acts to increase the chance of collision with the grinding blade 54. Since the pulverization is performed in the cover 70, the grains are not scattered outside the bread container 50.
- the mixture of the pulverized grains and liquid is guided toward the window 74 by the rib 75 and is discharged out of the cover 70 through the window 74. Since the rib 75 is curved so that the side facing the mixture of the grain and liquid that presses toward it is convex, the mixture of the grain and liquid is unlikely to stay on the surface of the rib 75, and the window 74 smoothly It flows toward.
- the mixture of the grain and liquid existing in the space above the recess 55 enters the recess 55 through the gap 56, and the guard 78 from the recess 55. Enters the cover 70 through the opening 78d. Grain grains are crushed by the grinding blade 54 in the cover 70, and return from the window 74 of the cover 70 onto the recess 55.
- pulverizing while circulating a grain, a grain can be grind
- the spokes 78c of the guard 78 assist in the pulverization of the grain. Further, the pulverized product generated by the pulverizing blade 54 is promptly guided to the window 74 and does not stay in the cover 70 due to the presence of the ribs 75, so that the pulverization efficiency is further improved.
- the window 74 is arranged at a height above the crushing blade 53 or above, the direction in which the mixture of the crushed grain and liquid is discharged from the cover 70 is horizontal or diagonally upward. Circulation is promoted.
- Step # 22 in order to obtain a desired pulverized grain, a pulverization pattern as set (if the pulverization blade is continuously rotated, intermittently interlaced with a stop period, or how the interval is intermittently rotated is taken.
- the control device 80 checks whether or not the rotation time length has been completed.
- step # 23 finish the rotation of the pulverization blade 54, and the pulverization step # 20 is completed. This is notified to the user by display on the display unit 22, voice, or the like.
- the pulverization step # 20 is started by the user's operation after the pre-grinding impregnation step # 10. If the pulverization operation data is input in the middle of No. 10, the pulverization step # 20 may be automatically started after the pre-pulverization impregnation step # 10 is completed.
- a kneading step # 30 shown in FIG. 25 is performed.
- the cereal grains and liquid in the bread container 50 are pasty or slurry dough raw materials.
- the material at the start of the kneading step # 30 is referred to as “dough raw material”, and the material that has come close to the intended state of the dough as the kneading progresses, ".
- step # 31 the user opens the lid 30 and puts a predetermined amount of gluten into the dough material. Add seasoning ingredients such as salt, sugar and shortening as needed.
- the automatic bread maker 1 may be provided with an automatic charging device for gluten and seasoning materials, and the user can input them without bothering the user.
- the user inputs the type of bread and cooking details from the operation unit 20 before and after Step # 31.
- the start key when the preparation is complete, the bread making operation that automatically continues from the kneading step # 30 to the fermentation step # 40 and further to the baking step # 50 is started.
- step # 32 the control device 80 drives the kneading motor 60.
- the grinding blade 54 also rotates in the forward direction, and the dough raw material around the grinding blade 54 flows in the forward direction.
- the cover 70 moves in the forward direction, the kneading blade 72 receives a resistance from the dough material and changes the angle from the open position to the folded position.
- the angle of the kneading blade 72 changes until the second engagement body 76b reaches an angle that interferes with the rotation locus of the first engagement body 76a, the clutch 76 is connected, and the cover 70 is driven in earnest by the blade rotation shaft 52. Get ready.
- the kneading blade 72 is also in a completely folded position. Thereafter, the cover 70 and the kneading blade 72 are rotated integrally with the blade rotating shaft 52 in the forward direction.
- the complementary kneading blades 77 are arranged on the extension of the kneading blade 72, and the dough raw material is pressed strongly as if the “K” shape of the kneading blade 72 is enlarged. For this reason, kneading
- mixing can be performed reliably.
- the guard 78 also rotates in the forward direction together with the cover 70.
- the spoke 78c has a shape in which the center side of the guard 78 precedes and the outer periphery side of the guard 78 follows when rotating in the forward direction, the guard 78 rotates in the forward direction, so The dough material is pushed outward by the spoke 78c. Thereby, when taking out the cover 70 from the baked bread, the ratio of the dough that becomes waste can be reduced.
- the pillar 78e of the guard 78 has the side surface 78f that is the front surface in the rotation direction when the guard 78 rotates in the forward direction, and the dough raw material around the cover 70 is mixed during kneading. It jumps upward on the front surface of the pillar 78e and merges with the upper dough raw material main body. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the amount of dough to be disposed of without being collected as bread.
- step # 32 the control device 80 energizes the heating device 41 and raises the temperature of the firing chamber 40.
- the kneading blade 72 and the complementary kneading blade 77 rotate, the dough raw material is kneaded and kneaded into a dough having a predetermined elasticity.
- the kneading blade 72 and the complementary kneading blade 77 swing around the dough and strike the inner wall of the bread container 50, particularly the protrusion 50a, thereby adding a “kneading” element to the kneading.
- the rib 75 also rotates. As the rib 75 rotates, the dough material in the cover 70 is quickly discharged from the window 74 and is assimilated into the dough material kneaded by the kneading blade 72 and the complementary kneading blade 77.
- step # 33 the controller 80 checks how much time has elapsed since the start of rotation of the kneading blade 72 and the complementary kneading blade 77. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step # 34.
- step # 34 the user opens the lid 30 and puts yeast into the dough.
- the yeast used in the dough may be dry yeast.
- Baking powder may be used instead of yeast.
- an automatic dosing device can be used to save the user.
- step # 35 the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the yeast was added to the dough.
- the process proceeds to step # 36, where the rotation of the kneading blade 72 and the complementary kneading blade 77 is completed.
- step # 36 the rotation of the kneading blade 72 and the complementary kneading blade 77 is completed.
- the dough that is connected and has the required elasticity has been completed. Most of the dough stays above the recess 55 and only a small amount enters the recess 55.
- ingredients are introduced in any step of kneading step # 30.
- An automatic loading device can also be used for material loading.
- step # 41 the dough that has undergone the kneading step # 30 is placed in a fermentation environment. That is, the control device 80 energizes the heating chamber 40 to the heating device 41 if necessary, and sets the temperature in a temperature zone where fermentation proceeds. The user arranges the dough, if necessary, and leaves the dough.
- step # 42 the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the dough was placed in the fermentation environment. If predetermined time passes, fermentation process # 40 will be complete
- step # 51 the fermented dough is placed in a baking environment. That is, the control device 80 sends electric power necessary for baking to the heating device 41 and raises the temperature of the baking chamber 40 to the baking temperature zone.
- step # 52 the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the dough was placed in the baking environment.
- the firing step # 50 ends.
- the user since the completion of bread making is notified by display or sound on the display unit 22, the user opens the lid 30 and takes out the bread container 50. And bread is taken out from the bread container 50.
- the trace of the kneading blade 72 remains at the bottom of the bread, the cover 70 and the guard 78 are housed in the recess 55 and do not protrude from the bottom of the bread container 50. There will be no trace.
- the unit of the grinding blade 54 and the cover 70 is taken out from the bread container 50. If the guard 78 is removed from the unit and placed on a mounting surface such as a table, the guard 78 is made of a synthetic resin that is difficult to transmit heat. Therefore, the guard 78 is used as a table for cooling the taken out bread. be able to.
- the guard 78 Since the lower end of the pillar 78e protrudes below the spoke 78c, when the guard 78 is placed on the placement surface, the spoke 78c rises from the placement surface, and an air circulation space is generated below the spoke 78c. For this reason, when it is desired to cool the guard 78 itself, or the cover 70 and the grinding blade 54 supported by the guard 78, the guard 78 can be quickly cooled.
- the dough that has entered a slight gap between them causes seizure. It may be difficult to remove the unit from the blade rotation shaft 52.
- the heat insulating layer 79 is formed on the surface of the blade rotation shaft 52, seizure hardly occurs even if the cloth enters the gap between the blade rotation shaft 52 and the hub 54a.
- the hub 54a is a part of the pulverizing blade 54, the problem of seizure between the pulverizing blade 54 and the blade rotating shaft 52 is also cleared. For this reason, the unit of the grinding
- the heat insulating layer 79 can be formed not on the blade rotating shaft 52 but on the inner surface of the hub 54a.
- a heat insulating layer 79 may be formed on both the outer surface of the blade rotation shaft 52 and the inner surface of the hub 54a.
- the heat insulating layer 79 is formed only on one of the outer surface of the blade rotating shaft 52 and the inner surface of the hub 54a, it is preferable to apply a low friction coating such as a fluororesin coating or a ceramic coating on the other surface. This makes it easier to remove the unit of the grinding blade 54 and the cover 70.
- the low-friction coating is not exposed to the exposed metal surface but is hit by the heat insulating layer 79, so that it is less likely to be worn out or peeled off and can maintain low friction over a long period of time.
- the control device 80 performs rotation control of the blade rotation shaft 52 as follows. That is, when the blade rotating shaft 52 is rotated by the kneading motor 60 or the pulverizing motor 64, the control device 80 rises to a set rotational speed at the time of kneading or pulverizing (this is referred to as “rated rotational speed” in this specification). Before that, put the rotating step at low speed or intermittently. The low speed rotation or intermittent rotation is continued for a predetermined time. This relationship is conceptually shown in FIG. 28, in which three types of control modes (a), (b), and (c) are illustrated.
- the blade rotating shaft 52 continues to rotate at a low speed for a predetermined time, and then starts to reach the rated rotational speed.
- the first engagement body 76a of the clutch 76 moves slowly and engages with the second engagement body 76b. Therefore, the cover 70, the kneading blade 72, the complementary kneading blade 77 and the guard 78 also move slowly, and do not splash grain grains, liquids, dough ingredients that are a mixture of ground grain grains and liquid, etc. outside the bread container 50.
- Noise and vibration associated with the movement of the cover 70, the kneading blade 72, the complementary kneading blade 77, and the guard 78 can also be lowered. Damage to the mechanical parts including the clutch 76 can also be avoided.
- the blade rotation shaft 52 shifts to continuous rotation after intermittent rotation. Also according to this aspect, the movement of the cover 70, the kneading blade 72, the complementary kneading blade 77, the guard 78, and the crushing blade 54 can be moderated.
- FIG. 29 is an overall flowchart of the second aspect bread manufacturing process. As shown in FIG. 29, in the second aspect bread manufacturing process, the process proceeds in the order of crushing process # 20, post-crushing impregnation process # 60, kneading process # 30, fermentation process # 40, and baking process # 50. Next, the content of the post-grinding impregnation step # 60 will be described based on FIG.
- step # 61 the dough raw material formed in the pulverization step # 20 is allowed to stand inside the bread container 50. This dough raw material has not been subjected to the impregnation step before pulverization. While standing still, liquid soaks into the ground grain.
- the control device 80 energizes the heating device 41 as necessary to heat the dough material and promote the impregnation.
- step # 62 the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the start of standing. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the post-grinding impregnation step # 60 is finished. When the post-grinding impregnation step # 60 is completed, the process automatically proceeds to the kneading step # 30.
- the steps after the kneading step # 30 are the same as the first aspect bread manufacturing step.
- FIG. 31 is an overall flowchart of the third aspect bread manufacturing process.
- the pre-pulverization impregnation step # 10 of the first aspect is placed before the pulverization step # 20
- the post-pulverization impregnation step # 60 of the second aspect is placed after the pulverization step # 20.
- the processes after the kneading process 30 are the same as the first aspect bread manufacturing process.
- the crushing blade 54 shown in the above embodiment can be used not only for crushing grain grains but also for fragmenting ingredients such as nuts and leafy vegetables. For this reason, bread containing fine ingredients can be baked.
- the crushing blade 54 can also be used for crushing ingredients other than ingredients mixed in bread and crude drug ingredients.
- the rotation of the crushing blade 54 and the rotation of the kneading blade 72 (and the complementary kneading blade 77) can be related to each other and controlled by a single control device 80.
- rotation suitable for the type and amount of the grain is given to the pulverizing blade 54 and the kneading blade 72 (and the complementary kneading blade 77), thereby improving the quality of the bread Can be improved.
- the grinding blade 54 for grinding the grain is attached to the blade rotating shaft 52, and the cover 70 surrounding the grinding blade 54 serves as a support for the kneading blade 72.
- the kneading blade is directly attached to the blade rotation shaft.
- a heat insulating layer may be formed on the surface of one or both of the blade rotation shaft and the blade rotation bearing insertion portion of the kneading blade. And what is necessary is just to give a low friction coating to the surface of the side in which a heat insulation layer is not formed.
- the present invention can be widely used for automatic bread machines mainly used in general households.

カバー70はアルミニウム合金のダイキャスト成型品からなり、粉砕ブレード54を覆い隠す。カバー70はブレード回転軸52に回転自在に嵌合し、粉砕ブレード54のハブ54aで受け止められる。カバー70もブレード回転軸52から簡単に引き抜くことができるので、製パン作業終了後の洗浄を手軽に行うことができる。
続いて、図11から図21を参照しながら第2実施形態の自動製パン機の構成について説明する。第2実施形態の自動製パン機は、第1実施形態の自動製パン機1の改良型であり、多くの共通要素を有する。このため、重複する部分には、同一の符号を付し、特に説明の必要がない場合には、その説明を省略する。
次に、実施形態の自動製パン機を用いて、穀物粒からパンを製造する工程を図22から図33までの図を参照しつつ説明する。なお、第1実施形態の自動製パン機1を用いてパンを製造する場合と、第2実施形態の自動製パン機(以下、これについても符号1とする)を用いてパンを製造する場合とで、その操作及び動作等はほぼ同様である。このため、以下では、第2実施形態の自動製パン機1を用いてパンを製造する場合に絞って説明する。
断熱層79を、ブレード回転軸52にではなく、ハブ54aの内面に形成することもでききる。ブレード回転軸52の外面とハブ54aの内面の両方に断熱層79を形成することもできる。
以上の実施形態で示した粉砕ブレード54は、穀物粒を粉砕するだけでなく、ナッツ類や葉物野菜などの具材の細片化にも用いることができる。このため、粒の細かい具材を入れたパンを焼くことができる。粉砕ブレード54は、パンに混ぜる具材以外の食材や、生薬原料の粉砕にも利用できる。
