Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a molding device for food such as rice balls, sushi rolls, and sweets.

Conventionally, various molding machines for rice balls, sushi rolls, confectionery, etc. have been known, but in all of them, the skin of the molding frame is difficult to cut, it is easy to scrape the mold, and it is difficult to use the mold by hand as an auxiliary tool. Not only was it inefficient, but it was also unhygienic because the food had to be touched with one's hands. In addition, a molding device in which the bottom plate inside the container frame can be raised and lowered is known from Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 161435/1983, but by lifting the bottom plate, the inner surface of the container frame and the food can be separated. However, there is a drawback in that the food adheres to the bottom plate and cannot be removed smoothly because there is no surface cut between the bottom plate and the food. The present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks and provide a molding device for food products such as rice balls that can be quickly, hygienically, and easily made in large quantities according to specifications.

This device is used in a molding machine that fills a food material such as rice into a container frame and then removes the mold to form a food into a predetermined shape. A molding device for forming foods such as rice balls, which is characterized in that a bottom plate 2 is loosely fitted into the bottom plate so as to be freely raised and lowered, an extrusion rod 3 is erected on the bottom plate, and a skin cutting plate 9 is rotatably attached to the upper surface of the bottom plate. This is related. In the figure, 4 is a finger hook, 5 is a shaft, 6 is a threaded portion, 7 is a pressing portion, and 8 is a spring.

1 to 4 are examples of a molding device for plum-shaped rice balls, and FIG. 5 is an example of a molding device for sushi rice balls, in which the extrusion rod 3 extrusion mechanism and the rotation mechanism of the skin cutting plate 9 are the same.

In this embodiment, the spring 8, extrusion rod 3, and shaft body 5 are normally moved outward, and in this state, the food to be molded, such as rice, is placed in the mold cutter frame.
By filling the mold inside, the food to be molded can be molded into a shape surrounded by the outer shape of the mold cutter frame 1 and the bottom plate 2. Next, when taking it out, put your finger on the finger hook 4 and press the pressing part 7 of the shaft 5, the pressing part 7 will go down against the spring 8, and the shaft 5 and the extrusion rod 3 will also be pushed down. The bottom plate 2 attached to the tip of the extrusion rod 3 is lifted up within the cutter frame 1, and cuts the surface of the inner circumferential wall of the die cutter frame 1 and the food to be molded, such as rice. At the same time, as the shaft body 5 descends, the shaft body 5 is moved by the threaded portion 6.
It is rotated by a slight angle of about 5 degrees, and as the coaxial body 5 rotates, the skin-cutting plate 9 fixed thereto rotates, albeit at a slight angle, and the rotation causes the food to be molded to be cut into the bottom plate 2 and the skin-cutting plate. This is for cutting the surface of the board 9 and the cutter frame 1. Thereafter, the molded food can be easily pulled out by further extruding the extrusion rod 3 or by changing the entire molding machine and directing the opening of the mold cutter frame 1 downward.

In the case of the sushi roll shown in FIG. 5, the topping is first placed on the bottom plate 2 and the skin-cutting plate 9, and then the rice is stuffed on top.

As described above, according to the present invention, by lifting the bottom plate 2 and rotating the skin-cutting plate 9, the molded food such as rice can be cut into the mold cutter frame 1, the bottom plate 2, and the skin-cutting plate 9. The food can be easily and satisfactorily cut from the mold, and the molded food can be quickly removed from the mold without losing its shape. Moreover, it is hygienic because the food does not need to be touched at all. There is an effect.
