JPH0411878A - Device for automatically continuously forming wrapped food - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a wrapped food having a high quality in simple mechanism and operation by forming the wrapped food with two mutually facing rotating forming drums having divided dies on the periphery thereof disposed under a groove ring for extruding a wrapping material. CONSTITUTION:Specified amounts of an ingredient A are intermittently fed from the upper end of an inner cylinder and a wrapping material B is continuously fed into a vertically long cylinder 2 from the upside. The wrapping material is reversely rotated, kneaded and simultaneously matured and subsequently successively extruded into the lower reservoir. The wrapping material is extrusion molded through a groove ring 16 equipped with a thickness-adjusting mechanism into a tublar wrapping sheet. The tublar sheet is fed into the divided dies 20a, 20b of rotation drums 19a, 19b so as to wrap the ingredient extruded from an extrusion outlet 18 in the center part, followed by forming and loading the wrapped foods on a carrying passageway 21 disposed just below the rotation drums.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an automatic continuous forming apparatus for skin-wrapped foods such as dumplings and water dumplings.

<Prior art> As a molding device of this type, the Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-301113
There is a No. 2 publication. The publication describes that, as shown in FIG. 1, a strip-shaped noodle body 1 is sent onto a conveyor device 5, where the foreskin is punched out and a topping is placed thereon, and then molded in a molding device IO immediately below.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, the method of feeding the strip-shaped noodle bodies onto a molding device and cutting them into a mold has the problem of producing many cut ends on the noodle bodies and wasting material. The method of preparing and molding a skin-wrapped food has a problem in that during the molding process, a considerable amount of effective water is released from the noodles, resulting in a quality deterioration of the molded food.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention includes a screw conveyor for inverting and kneading the foreskin material in a vertically elongated cylinder and pushing it while ripening, and an inner cylinder for metering and supplying ingredients on the central axis of the conveyor. , a groove ring with a thickness adjustment mechanism is provided at the lower end of the longitudinally elongated cylindrical body to form a foreskin by surrounding the extrusion opening of the tool and extruding the foreskin material; This invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems by configuring a molding apparatus for skin-wrapped foods with two molding drums having split molds and rotating facing each other.

Function: Ingredients are intermittently supplied from the upper end of the inner cylinder in fixed quantities, and foreskin material is continuously supplied from the upper part into the vertically elongated cylinder.

The foreskin material is rotated between the blades of the screw conveyor, kneaded and matured, and is sequentially pushed into the lower end reservoir, where it is extruded through a groove ring with a thickness adjustment mechanism, formed into a cylindrical foreskin, and then passed through the extrusion port. The extruded ingredients enter the split mold of the rotating drum, are formed into a skin-wrapped food, and are placed on the conveyance path directly below.

<Example> Examples will be described below based on the drawings.

The vertically long cylinder 2 is attached to the front of the fuselage 1 without rotating. The lower half of the core portion 2 is formed by connecting 2a and 2b to make it easier to clean.

A screw conveyor 4 is inserted along the entire length of the vertically elongated cylinder 2 with an inner cylinder 3 for supplying ingredients and the inner cylinder 3 as an axis. Reference numeral 5 denotes a power gear which meshes with the gear 5 to rotate a gear 5a fitted to the inner cylinder 3, thereby rotating the screw conveyor 4 together with the inner cylinder 3. Note that the gear 5a may be fitted onto the screw conveyor 4 so that the inner cylinder 3 does not rotate. 6 is inner cylinder 3
A stirring blade 9 that rotates while being supported by a support member 8 provided on a support 7 on the body I is inserted into the supply hopper provided above. 10 is a dosing device, and 11 is its adjustment lever.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a supply hopper for the foreskin material opening, which communicates with the side surface of the upper end of the vertically long cylinder 2. 12a is a stirring blade. The lower end of the vertically elongated cylindrical body 2 forms a packaging material reservoir 15a with a hooked member 14 having a perforated plate 13 on the upper surface through which the foreskin material opening passes, and an outer member 15, and a packaging material reservoir 15a is formed at the lower end of the packaging material reservoir 15a. A groove ring 16 for molding is formed in an inwardly inclined shape. This groove ring [6] can be adjusted to be wide or narrow by moving up and down the screw insertion position of a presser member 17 that is integral with the outer member 15. The lower end of the inner cylinder 3 forms an extrusion opening 18, and this extrusion opening 18 is connected to the groove ring 1.
6 It protrudes slightly below. Rotating drums 19a and 19b that are in contact with each other and rotate inwardly with respect to the bottom of the extrusion port 18;
are arranged horizontally, and a plurality of split molds for molding are provided at the same position at the center of the circumferential surface of the angular rotating drum. In the drawing, one side is shown as a concave type 20a, and the other side is shown as a convex type 20b.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a conveyor for conveying molded foods arranged under the rotating drum.

The foreskin material is intermittently supplied into the inner cylinder 3 from the supply hopper 6 via the metering feeder 10, and at the same time, the foreskin material is supplied from the hopper 12 into the vertically long cylinder 2 and passed between the blades 4a of the screw conveyor 4. It descends while inverting, reaches the lower end while being thoroughly stirred and matured as a foreskin, passes through the perforated plate portion, enters the packaging material reservoir 15a, and is successively wrapped around the groove ring 16 at the lower end.
The foreskin is formed into a foreskin, and the foreskin wraps around a lump of food, enters between the split molds of the rotating drum, and forms a packaged food, such as a dumpling, and places it on the conveyor 21. Become.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a partition wall 22 is provided below the middle of the vertically long cylinder 2 to prevent air from flowing in from above.
A suction hose 24 of a suction pump 23 is installed on the side under the painting wall 22.
If the outer cylinder 2 under the drawing wall 22 is evacuated by connecting the two foreskin, the ripening of the foreskin material will be accelerated.

The rotating drums 19a, 19b can be replaced depending on the type of skin-wrapped food to be molded. Tanks 22a and 2 are provided on the rotating drums 19a and 19b to drop coarse peeling powder little by little to help the molded food come down.
Equipped with 2b.

Examples of molded skin-wrapped foods include gyoza, shrimp gyoza, water gyoza, steamed buns, and xiao long bao.

<Effects of the Invention> Since the present invention is configured as described above, there is an effect that no cut ends of the packaging material occur. Furthermore, since the packaging material is conveyed while being reversed on a screw conveyor, kneading and ripening are promoted, and unlike in the case where a foreskin is formed in advance, quality deterioration due to moisture evaporation does not occur.

The vertical installation has the effect of making the mechanism extremely simple and easy to operate.
