Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a compression transfer device for a food molding machine.
In particular, it is suitable as a preliminary forming device for a sushi manufacturing device.

(Prior Art) Devices for mechanically manufacturing nigiri sushi have already been put to practical use. In order to mechanically produce nigiri sushi, we need to use the sushi ingredient shiyari (“white rice mixed with an appropriate amount of vinegar”).
, hereinafter the same)) must be compressed in advance to a certain degree of hardness, then cut into a predetermined size and preformed. As a device for performing such preliminary molding, a compression transfer mechanism in a food molding machine described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-43981 is known. By arranging a plurality of left and right rotating rollers facing each other in two rows in the vertical direction so that the spacing gradually narrows from the top, the food material (shiyari) is transferred downward while alternately compressing and relaxing. The conveyed food material is cut into appropriate sizes using a cutter.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) According to the compression transfer mechanism in the above conventional food molding machine,
Since the distance between the pair of rotating rollers is constant and the rotating rollers simply rotate on the spot, the food material is transferred only by the frictional force or catch on the rotating rollers, and the food material is highly viscous. It is not possible to efficiently transfer food materials such as spears, and because the amount of transfer varies, there is a problem that the size of the food materials cut by the cutter varies.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and is capable of efficiently compressing and transporting highly viscous foods such as perilla, and furthermore, the compressed and transported food can be It is an object of the present invention to provide a compression transfer device for a food molding machine that is uniform in size and can perform preforming efficiently.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a pair of compression members that face each other and are driven in directions that approach and move away from each other; The pair of compression members and the roller are arranged facing the food transfer path, and the driving source of the roller drives the roller when the pair of compression members are separated from each other. It is characterized by being driven to transport food.

A pair of cutters may be arranged below the pair of compression members and the roller to cut the food compressed by the pair of compression members into appropriate sizes.

A separating member with an inclined end surface may be attached to the lower surface of the pair of cutters, and the separation member generates a force that pushes the food downward when it hits the food when the pair of cutters cuts the food.

The opposing surfaces of the pair of compression members may be inclined so that the distance between them becomes narrower downwardly, and a plurality of horizontal protrusions may be formed on the inclined opposing surfaces.

(Function) When the pair of compression members is driven while food is present in the food transfer path, the food is compressed on opposing surfaces when the pair of compression members approach each other.

When the pair of compression members are separated from each other, their opposing surfaces are separated from the food product, and at this time the rollers are driven to rotate to transfer the food product.

By providing a pair of cutters below the pair of compression members and rollers, the food compressed and transferred by the pair of compression members and rollers can be cut into appropriate sizes and preformed.

If a separation member with an inclined end surface is attached to the lower surface of the pair of cutters, when the pair of cutters approaches to cut the food, the inclined end surfaces will hit the food and push the food downward, generating a force that pushes the food downward. Even strong foods can be easily separated from the cutter.

By slanting the opposing surfaces of a pair of compression members so that the distance between them gradually narrows downward, and by forming a plurality of horizontal protrusions on the slanted opposing surfaces, the pair of compression members can be spaced apart from each other. When a pair of compression members approaches each other, the compression member separates from the food and the food moves downward under its own weight, ensuring reliable transfer.When the pair of compression members approach each other, their protrusions bite into the food. Even if the cutter is driven in this state, the food will not shift vertically, and the food can be reliably cut into a predetermined shape.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

Each mower 1120.160 is driven by a set command as a preliminary operation, and the pruning compression member 11.12 and cutter 14.15 are set at a predetermined reference position and stopped. This predetermined reference position is the flexible compression member 11.12.
are approached at a predetermined distance, and the cutters 14, 15 are in such a position that their opposing inclined edges overlap each other.

In this reference position, the hopper 10 is loaded with spears to fill the spears 3o, as shown in FIG. Next, when a predetermined start button is pressed, the cutter drive motor 120 is started, and as shown in FIG.
3 is clockwise, gear! 22 and 144 are rotated counterclockwise. The rotation of the gears 143, 144 causes the pins 147, 148 to push the sliders 151, 152 outwardly from each other, moving the flexing members 11, 12 away from each other. Similarly, the rotation of the gears 121 and 122 causes the pins 125 and 126 to move toward the slides 131 and 1.
32 outwards from each other, moving the cutters 14, 15 away from each other, ie in a direction towards each other.

When each of the gears 121, 122, 143, 144 has made about half a turn and the pair of thrust compression members 1.1.12 and the pair of cutters 14.15 are at their furthest distance, this is indicated by the lower surface of the gear 122 shown in FIG. The sensor 70 facing the reflection plate 167 detects the signal, and the cutter movement motor 1 is activated by this detection signal.
20 is stopped, and power is supplied to the feed motor 160 to rotate it. The rotational drive of the motor 160 rotationally drives the roller 165 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and furthermore, the roller 41 is rotated via the gear 164-37-38 as explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The rotational force of this roller 41 is further transmitted to toothed pulleys 46 and 4 via a toothed pulley 45 and a toothed belt 49.
The rotational force of roller 43 is transmitted to pulley 61 via pulley 51 and belt 62 to rotationally drive roller 55.
The rotational force is further transmitted to gear 6 via gears 57, 58, and 59.
0 and rotates the roller 56.

Each of the rollers described above rotates in a direction to transport the spears in the transfer path downward, and the spear compression members 11 and 12 move in a direction away from each other as described above, and the spears 30
Since it is also spaced apart from the top, the shank 30 is transferred downward. The drive time of each of these rollers is arbitrarily set by a timer depending on the size of the sushi to be manufactured.

When the above timer times up, the spear feed motor 1
20, and the cutter moving motor 1 is started again.
Start 20. The cutter drive motor 120 has a gear 1
21, 122, 143, and 144 rotate about half a turn and the sensor 7
0 is detected, and as a result, the spear compression members 11 and 12 are driven toward each other, and the cutters 14 and 15 are driven toward each other, so that they are closest to each other. In the above motor 12
0 is stopped. By the approach of the spear compression members 11 and 12, the spear 30 is compressed to a certain firmness. Also,
The cutters 14 , 15 are closed with their opposing inclined edges overlapping and cut the compressed spears into blocks 40 of a predetermined size and fall onto the belt 20 . cutter 1
4.15, the separating members 18, 19 also move together, and when the cutter 14°15 cuts the spear, the separating members 18,
The inclined ends 136, 137 of 19 come into contact with the spear and a force is generated to push the spear downward. This force forces the spear away from the cutter 14, 15, so that the cutting action of the spear is carried out efficiently. If there is no separating member 18.19, even if the cutter 14.15 cuts the spear, the highly viscous spear will stick to the underside of the cutter 14.15 and the spear will not slide smoothly away from the cutter 14.15. The cutting process is not separated and the efficiency of the cutting operation is reduced. In this respect, according to the embodiment described above, the inclined end 13 of the separating member 18,19
6, 137 efficiently performs the cutting operation of the spear, the compressive transfer of the spear and the speed of preliminary forming by the cutter 14, 15 can be increased.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the cutters 14.15 close together to cut the spear 30 into blocks 40 of a predetermined size, the opposing inclined edges of the cutters 14.15, especially the slopes on the side of the cutter 15, A component force is generated at the edge to try to lift the spear 30.

When Shiyari 30 is lifted by this force, cutter 1
4.15 cannot be performed smoothly, and the shape and size of the cut blocks 4o will vary.

However, in the embodiment shown in 1, when the cutter 14.15 intends to cut the spear 3o, the compression member 11.12
are also close to each other and compressing Shiyari 30, and,
a plurality of ridges 158' provided on the compression member 11.12;
159 bites into the spear 30, the spear 30 is not lifted up, the cutting can be performed smoothly, and variations in the shape and size of the cut blocks 40 can be reduced.

Furthermore, when the cutters 14 and 15 cut the shank 3o to form the block 40, the block 40 may tend to lose its posture due to various factors, or may fall to a position deviated from the predetermined falling position on the belt 2o. do. For example, when cutting the spear 30 with the cutter 14.15, the lower inclined edge of the overlapping cutter 14.15, that is, the inclined edge of the cutter 15 is shown in FIG. Push the support block 40 toward the left side and try to tilt the block 40. However, at this time, the block 40 is regulated by the regulating piece 66 and kept in a predetermined posture, and falls to a predetermined position on the belt 20 in the left-right direction. Furthermore, when the block 40 tries to tilt in the front-back direction, the front and rear end surfaces of the block 40 are restricted by the regulating pieces 67, 68, and the block 40 is kept in a predetermined posture, as shown in FIG. 20 at a predetermined position in the front-back direction. In this way, the fact that the repellent block 40 maintains a predetermined posture and falls to a predetermined position on the belt 20 means that even when the repellent block 40 is conveyed to a molding section (not shown) by the belt 2o. This means that it maintains a predetermined posture and is in a predetermined position, which means that the molding operation can be performed without any hindrance.

According to the embodiment described above, the function of compressing the shavings to a predetermined hardness is shared by the shavings compression members 11 and 12, which are arranged facing each other, and the function of transporting the compressed shavings is performed. Since the rollers 165, 41, 42, 43, and 55.56 are responsible for transferring the shavings, the shavings are transferred by rotating each of the rollers with the shavings compression members 11, 12 spaced apart from each other. Efficiently compresses the elasticity,
Moreover, the compressed spears can be efficiently transported.

In addition, the compressed and transferred persimmons are cut into cutters 14 and 15.
When cutting and preliminarily forming blocks into spear blocks, a separation member 18. provided on the lower surface of the cutter 14.15.
Since the slanted end surfaces 136 and 137 of the cutter 19 push the shavings downward, the block of shavings cut by the cutter 14.15 is immediately separated from the cutter 14.15, allowing highly viscous shavings to be efficiently preformed. can do.

Shiyari tends to adhere to the parts that come into contact with it and other surrounding parts, and if left untreated, it will rot and be unhygienic, so it is necessary to carefully clean the inside after use. In that case, according to the illustrated embodiment, by loosening the setscrew 34 shown in FIG. 5 and removing the panel 33, the roller drive mechanism is separated from the main body part, and the main body part has a Since the compression member 11.12 and the cutter 14.15 remain and are exposed, these parts can be easily cleaned, and the separated roller drive mechanism part can also be cleaned separately. Easy to clean. When the panel 33 is installed in a predetermined position, as shown in FIG.
64 mesh with each other, making it possible to transmit power to the roller drive mechanism.
