Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Object of the invention> Industrial field of application The present invention relates to a method for applying oil to a confectionery baking board having an uneven pattern or the like on the surface. When confectionery is continuously and automatically baked on a baking board with letters, etc., it is possible to apply oil to the surface of the baking board so that an oil film of uniform thickness is generated over the entire surface. This relates to the method of applying oil.

In addition, this baking board is generally a baking board on which sweets can be baked, and in the following, it is mainly used for baking dolls,
Although the description will focus on grilling plates for baking Watsuful and the like, the method of the present invention also covers baking plates used for baking other sweets.

Conventional technology Conventionally, in automatic baking lines, confectionery dough is dripped onto a baking plate that moves continuously or intermittently.
Confectionery is baked by heating from the back side of this baking plate. Among these, the surfaces of grilling plates such as Imagawa-yaki and Okonomiyaki are flat, but those of Watsufuru and Ningyo-yaki have uneven patterns formed on the surface of the grilling plates. It is distinctive in that patterns are formed on the surface of the confectionery. For this reason, peeling from the baking board after baking and oil on the surface of the baking board from the baking surface of the confectionery become a big problem.In particular, oil adhesion is a big problem on automatic baking lines, and improvements can be made. Although techniques have been proposed, they have not yet solved this problem.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-150284, baking plates for Watsuful baking are arranged horizontally on the baking machine main body and connected by a chain conveyor, and an oil coating that faces the baking molds of the chain conveyor and moves in an elliptical orbit is proposed. A Watsuful baking machine is described in which a brush is provided that can be moved up and down, a confectionery dough feeder is provided downstream from the oiling brush, and the baking is heated from the back side using a heating burner inside the chain conveyor. has been done.

This baking machine, like the conventional automatic baking line, moves the grilling plates continuously or intermittently through a chain, and in the process of moving the grilling plates, an oiling brush that sequentially applies oil to the surface of the grilling plates, A feeder for supplying confectionery dough is provided, and the grilling plate is configured to be heated by a heating burner,
Its characteristic feature is that even though the surface of the grill plate has an uneven pattern, the fired surface remains elliptical because it is used for firing Watsuful. For this reason, in order to bring the oiling brush into contact with the entire surface, the oiling brush is moved in an elliptical shape. Therefore,
With this type of baking machine, the oiling brush runs over the entire baking surface to apply oil, just like when baking is done by hand at home. Even if the surface has an uneven pattern, oil can be applied evenly over the entire surface to a certain extent. However, in this type of grilling board, the side surfaces of the protrusions, such as patterns, and the flat portions are often at right angles, and in particular, the side surfaces of the protrusions are often not coated with oil. Even if Watsuful can be baked continuously, depending on the degree of oil application, white parts may appear on the surface of the Watsuful where no baked chips can be formed, and a mottled pattern will appear on the surface, deteriorating the appearance and texture, and reducing the product yield. significantly reduced.

In addition, when the contact pressure of the oiling brush is increased to improve product yield, the tip of the brush, which is made of so-called flocked hair, comes into strong contact with the surface of the grilling plate, resulting in severe wear and shortened service life. Hair, etc. remain on the surface of the grilling plate and enter the Watsuful, which is undesirable from a food hygiene perspective.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems. Specifically, when an oiling brush is used to apply oil to the surface of a grilling board, the movement of the brush is Noting that even with automation, the above-mentioned problems still occur, we developed an oil application method that does not use an oil application brush. That is, in the present invention, oil is first dropped on at least a portion of the surface of the grilling board, and the dropped oil is sucked from the upper surface by a suction nozzle and made to flow, thereby spreading the oil over the entire surface of the grilling board. We propose an oiling method that allows the oil to adhere and form a uniform oil film.

Therefore, according to the method of the present invention, since oil is applied without using an oiling brush, there is no problem caused by the above-mentioned oiling brush, and furthermore, even when baking Watsufules, etc., oil is not dripped. It is not necessarily necessary to cause the oil dripping device or the suction device such as the suction nozzle to perform a complicated movement such as an ellipse.

In addition, in order to apply oil evenly by sucking the oil that has been dropped onto the grilling plate from the top and making it flow,
It is sufficient that the oil is dripped onto at least a portion of the surface of the grilling plate. In addition, even if the side surface of the fired surface, such as an uneven pattern, is perpendicular or perpendicular to the flat part, the oil will flow all over the side surface and boundary line due to the suction from above and the movement of the suction nozzle. However, oil can be applied uniformly over the surface, and a thin oil film can be formed uniformly.

<Structure of the Invention> Means for Solving the Problems and Their Effects That is, the method of the present invention provides a method for baking confectionery that moves continuously or intermittently and has an uneven pattern on its surface. The method is characterized in that oil is dripped onto the grill plate, and then the oil is sucked and allowed to flow at the upper part of the grill plate, so that the oil flows and adheres to the entire surface of the grill plate, thereby forming a thin and uniform oil film. shall be.

Therefore, the structure of these means and their operation will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings as follows.

In addition, Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross section of the grilling plate when oil is dropped on the grilling plate by the method of the present invention and the oil is then sucked, and Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the dripped oil on the upper part. FIG.

First, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the reference numeral 1 indicates a grilling board for Watsufuru or Ningyo-yaki, and these grilling boards 1 are arranged in a continuous manner and connected by, for example, a chain 5, and are connected intermittently or continuously. It is running in the direction of arrow A. Dough (not shown) is dripped onto this baking plate 1 and baked, but before dropping the dough, for example, an oil 3
is dropped onto at least a portion of the surface of the grilling plate 1.
An uneven pattern 1a is formed on the surface of the grilling plate 1, and the pattern 1a protrudes from the flat portion 1b. Further, the oil 3 can be dropped over the entire surface, but in order to cause the oil 3 to flow by suction from above after being dropped, it is sufficient to drop the oil 3 on at least a part of the surface. Furthermore, since the grilling plate 1 is continuously operated and heated, the oil 3 does not necessarily have to be liquid, and solid oil can also be used. This is because when solid oil is dripped onto the grill,
This is because it melts immediately and becomes fluid.

Next, after dropping the oil, when the grilling plate 1 is moved at a predetermined pitch, the grilling plate 1 reaches just below the suction nozzle 4 as shown in FIG. That is, the suction nozzle 4 is provided downstream from the oil dripping nozzle 2 in the flow direction of the grilled plate 1 . This suction nozzle 4 is caused to reciprocate in the direction of the arrow above the grilling plate 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In this way, the excess oil 3a is sucked by the suction force of the suction nozzle 4, and the oil 3 on the surface flows. For this reason, oil 3
Flows on the surface of the grilling plate in addition to the flat portions 1b as well as the protrusions or edge patterns 1a,
The excess oil 3a is sucked out from the suction nozzle 4, and a thin, uniform oil film 3b is formed on the surface of the grilling plate 1.

In other words, other baking conditions are necessary to ensure that the surface of confectionery such as Watsuful and Ningyo-yaki is evenly baked. must be attached. In this regard, in the method of the present invention, the dripped oil is given fluidity by suction from above, causing it to flow over the entire surface of the grilling plate, and the excess oil is removed by suction. For this reason,
Even if a pattern or the like is formed protrudingly on the grill plate, the oil adheres evenly over the entire surface and the excess oil is sucked, resulting in an extremely thin oil film.

Furthermore, the structure and movement of the suction nozzle can be configured in any structure and operation mode as long as the dropped oil can flow over the entire surface of the grilling plate, but as shown in FIG. The cross section of the grill plate 1 can be configured to have an elongated slit shape, and the width of the slit can be configured to be equal to or larger than the width of the grilling plate 1. With this structure, when the suction nozzle 4 is brought into contact with the upper part of the grilling plate 1 or the grilling plate 1 and moved from one end to the other end, the suction nozzle 4 can easily achieve its purpose through a simple linear movement.

Furthermore, the suction nozzle does not have to be configured as shown in FIG. 2, but can be configured such that, for example, the suction port of the suction nozzle is opened wide and the surface of the grill plate is covered with the opened suction port. With this configuration, while the oil is sucked from the upper part over the entire surface, the oil is sucked while flowing over the entire surface, and a uniform oil film can be easily formed over the entire surface.

In addition, when the suction nozzle is moved above the grilling plate, instead of the linear reciprocating motion as described above, it can also be made to perform circular, elliptical, or zigzag motion, but in general, zigzag or elliptical motion is If this is done, these functions and structures will become complicated and large, which is economically undesirable.

Example First, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the dimensions
Watsufuls measuring 10 cm x 5 cm x 1.5 cm were manufactured using a baking machine in which baking plates having corresponding baking sections were continuously arranged by a chain.

At this time, the baking board is moved intermittently in the direction of the arrow, and the confectionery dough (its composition is 25 parts of wheat flour, 1 part of hard-boiled egg) is placed on the baking board.
20 parts, sugar 20 parts, butter 20 parts, water 10 parts, and 5 parts other).When dropping 5 g of solid oil (vegetable coconut oil) onto the surface of the baking board from the oil dropping nozzle, Since the grill plate was heated, it melted and became fluid.

Next, when the grilling plate is moved downstream by a predetermined pitch, a suction nozzle is applied to the top surface of the grilling plate.
When the oil on the surface of the grilling plate is sucked with Hg pressure and moved as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the oil flows and flows into the protrusions or edges on the grilling plate surface, and the excess oil flows into the projections or edges of the grilling plate surface. Approximately 3.5g of oil is sucked,
Only a thin homogeneous oil layer was formed.

In this way, when 1000 Watsufuls were continuously fired using the above dough, all the surfaces were finished with a uniform firing pattern, and even if there were uneven surfaces,
It was extremely easy to peel off from the grill.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained in detail above, the method of the present invention involves first dropping oil onto the grilling plate, and then sucking the dropped oil from above and making it flow, thereby uniformly applying the oil to the grilling plate surface. This is a method of attaching it.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since oil can be applied using an oiling brush, the problems caused by the conventional oiling brush do not occur at all.

In addition, since the upper part sucks and flows the oil once it has been dropped, the oil adheres to the sides of protrusions such as patterns on the surface of the grilling board and the boundaries with flat parts, and the excess oil can be removed. , a thin oil film can be formed.
