Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an oiling device for a confectionery baking machine that continuously bakes confectionery such as Watsufules.

<Conventional technology> Conventionally, a chain conveyor was installed in which baking molds for confectionery dough were lined up and connected, heating burners were installed above and below the upper stage of the chain conveyor, and heating burners were installed above the conveyor. BACKGROUND ART Confectionery baking machines are used that feed confectionery dough from a material feeder into the recesses of each baking mold, and continuously bake confectionery such as Watsuful while operating a chain conveyor intermittently.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In this type of confectionery baking machine, an oiling device for applying oil to the concave part of the baking mold was conventionally used in Utility Model No. 59-150284.
It is proposed by the publication No.

This oiling device has an oil brush that rotates by entering into the recess of the baking mold, and while intermittently inserting oil between the oil brushes, wipes the inside of the recess of the baking mold with the oil brush to fill the recess. Although it is configured to apply oil inside, it is difficult to adjust the amount of oil that comes out from the oil brush, and immediately after the oil comes out from the oil brush, too much oil gets on the inside, which may cause damage to baked Watsuful etc. If the surface of the confectionery becomes white and mottled, and if there is insufficient oiling, there is a problem that the confectionery cannot be easily peeled off from the baking mold after baking.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been developed in consideration of the above points, and is an oiling device for a confectionery baking machine that can apply an appropriate amount of oil into the concave part of the baking mold and spread it well over the surface of the baking mold. It provides the following and is structured as follows.

That is, the present invention has a chain conveyor in which a large number of baking molds are lined up and connected, and the dough is put into the recesses of the baking molds, and the chain conveyor is intermittently operated to pass the baking molds through the baking section to bake the confectionery. An oiling device for a confectionery baking machine that is used for baking confectionery consists of an oiling device that has an oil tank and an oil reservoir that are attached to a frame that can be raised and lowered and reversible, which is installed below a chain conveyor, and that is attached to a recessed part of the baking mold. An oil spreader having an oil spreader brush attached to a frame that is installed opposite to the chain conveyor behind the applicator and rotates toward and away from the concave portion of the baking mold.

The frame 11 and the oil pad 12 are lowered and raised by the cylinder's retracting action. In addition, the rotary actuator 17 is
When the oil pad 2 descends, it rotates from upward to downward, and when the oil pad 12 rises, it rotates from downward to upward. Further, an oil reservoir 13 containing a sponge impregnated with oil is provided at the bottom of the main body of the oil applicator 10, and the oil soaked pad 12, which is facing downward at the lowering end of the elevating member 15, is attached to the oil reservoir 13. comes in contact with and absorbs oil. The oil-filled tampo 12 is constructed by attaching the tampo vertically to a thin rod through a coil spring, and the position of the oil-filled tampo 12 is as follows.
When the baking mold 2 is located above, each recess 2
Several (for example, four) are arranged so as to be in contact with each other and are dispersed within a.

An oil spreader 30 is installed opposite to the starting end of the chain conveyor 1, that is, the right end in FIG. The oil stretching device 30 includes a resilient oil stretching brush 31,
The concave portion 2a of the baking mold 2 is movable in the front and rear horizontal directions.
The oil spreading brush 31 is applied to the concave portion 2a of the baking mold 2 that is stationary at a vertical position at the starting end of the chain conveyor 1, and the oil is spread by rotating the oil spreading brush 31. . As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of oil stretching brushes 31 provided corresponding to the recesses 2a of the baking mold 2 are attached to a frame 32, and the frame 32 is attached to a frame 33 that moves in an elliptical trajectory. On the other hand, it is assembled so that it can slide in the front and rear horizontal directions. The frame 33 has a fluid pressure cylinder 34
is installed, and its piston rod is attached to the frame 32.
The frame 32 is pushed forward by the pushing operation of the hydraulic cylinder 34, and each oil stretching brush 31 comes into contact with the recess 2a of the baking mold 2 in the vertical position. Frame 3 including oil spreading brush 31

A frame 33 is supported so as to be freely movable on a predetermined vertical plane in FIG. 4 via an eccentric lever.
It is configured by connecting to. The length of the eccentric lever of this rotating mechanism 35 is adjusted so that each oil stretching brush 31 rotates with the curvature matching the ellipse of the recess 2a of the baking mold 2, and the oil stretching brush 31 covers the entire surface of the recess 2a. It has a wiping structure. Note that if the recess 2a of the baking mold 2 is not an ellipse but a simple circle, the rotation mechanism 35
Any structure may be used as long as the frame 33 including the oil spreading brush 31 is rotated so as to draw a circular locus on a vertical plane.

In the confectionery baking machine configured as described above, the chain conveyor 1 is operated at low speed and intermittently, and the baking molds 2
The dough, such as Watsufuru, placed in the recess 2a is conveyed and baked, and sent to the terminal end on the left side in FIG. That is,
When the baking mold 2 stops right above the oiler 10 on the lower stage of the chain conveyor 1, the oiler 12 faces downward and reaches the oil sump 13, as shown in FIG.
When the fluid pressure cylinder 21 is pulled back from the contact state, and the rotary actuator 17 is driven to rotate at the same time, the frame 11 to which the oil-filled pad 12 is attached rotates and rises, and the oil-filled pad 12 is moved upwards. The tip is momentarily brought into contact with the recess 2a of the baking mold 2 located directly above. By this, baking mold 2
Oil is applied to the concave portion 2a of the pad, and the fluid pressure cylinder 21 immediately operates to push out the oil, and the rotary actuator 17 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction to the above, and the frame 11 of the oil-filled pad 12 is reversed and lowered, and the oil-filled pad 12 is lowered while being reversed. The dandelion 12 returns to its initial state with its tip in the oil reservoir 13. In this way, since oil is applied by pressing the oil-applied pad 12 into the recess 2a of the baking mold 2 in the inverted position, over-application of oil does not occur, and an appropriate amount of oil is applied inside the recess 2a. can be attached to Note that the amount of oil applied to the recess 2a can be easily adjusted by changing the number of oil-applied pads and the size of their tips.

In this way, the baking molds 2 coated with oil at the lower reversal position of the chain conveyor 1 stop at a vertical position, that is, at a position facing the oil spreader 30, when moving to the upper stage next time. At this time, the fluid pressure cylinder 34 of the oil stretcher 30 performs a pushing operation to
2 is moved horizontally, the oil stretching brushes 31 are pushed out, and each oil stretching brush 31 is lightly pressed against each recess 2a of the baking mold 2. At the same time, the rotating mechanism 35 is driven to rotate the frame 33 on a vertical plane, and as a result, the oil stretching brush 31 rotates while drawing an elliptical trajectory, and wipes the inside of the recess 2a of the baking mold 2. The oil is spread all over.

Then, the frame 32 of the oil stretcher 30 is pulled back by the pulling back operation of the hydraulic cylinder 34,
After the oil stretching brush 31 returns to its original position, the chain conveyor 1 is restarted, and the baking mold 2 coated with oil and stretched advances to the upper stage of the chain conveyor 1. and,
When the recesses 2a of the baking mold advance directly below the material supply device 5, a certain amount of confectionery material is supplied from the material supply device 5 into each recess 2a, and then the material of the baking mold 2, that is, the Watsuful dough, is transferred to a chain conveyor. While being conveyed through the baking section by the dough 1, the dough is baked by heating with the burner 3, and the surface of the dough is also lightly baked with the bake burner 4. When the baked confectionery is conveyed to the end of the chain conveyor 1, it is taken out from the recess 2a of the baking mold 2 by a take-out device (not shown). Turn around and go to the bottom. Each baking mold 2 moves along the lower stage of the chain conveyor 1 in an inverted position, and when it reaches just below the scrap remover 6, the scrap remover brush 7 of the scrap remover 6 swings, and the remaining scraps of confectionery ingredients are brushed off. Ru. Then, the baking mold 2 from which the dregs have been removed is again used by the oil applicator 10, the oil spreader 30,
The process proceeds to the material supply device 5, where the same operation as above is performed, and confectionery is continuously baked.

In the above embodiment, the rotary actuator 17 and the fluid pressure cylinder 21 are used for the oil applicator 10, but it is of course possible to use a drive mechanism such as a motor.

Also, the oil spreader 10 is replaced with the oil spreader 3 of the above embodiment.
0 position, and the oil spreader can be installed in front of the material feeder 5 on the upper stage of the chain conveyor 1.
Since the total length of the chain conveyor 1 becomes longer, it is advantageous to install the oil spreader 10 below the chain conveyor 1 and also install the oil spreader 30 below or at the front end (inverted section) of the conveyor.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the oiling device of the confectionery baking machine of the present invention, when the lower stage of the chain conveyor, that is, the baking mold is in an inverted position, the oiled container is applied from below to the baking mold. Apply oil by pressing it into the recess of the baking mold, then wipe the inside of the recess with the oil spreader brush of the oil spreader, and spread the oil over the entire recess of the baking mold, so apply the appropriate amount of oil. It can be applied continuously and uniformly to the recesses of the baking mold. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the surface of the dough from being burnt in spots due to applying too much oil to the baking mold, or conversely, from deteriorating the peeling of the confectionery due to insufficient oil and causing the confectionery to lose its shape when being released from the mold.
