〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the structure of a confectionery scooping device according to the invention of this application will be explained based on drawings showing examples.

FIG. 1 shows a side view of an automatic confectionery baking machine equipped with a confectionery scooping device according to the invention of this application, and FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the automatic confectionery baking machine.

In the figure, 1 is the fuselage, and inside this fuselage 1,
A driving wheel 2 and a driven wheel 3 are arranged.

Between the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3,
A chain belt 4 is stretched around the chain belt 4, and a plurality of baking molds 5 are continuously arranged on the chain belt 4.

The baking mold 5 is composed of a lower mold 5b fixed to the chain belt 4 and an upper mold 5a rotatably attached to the lower mold 5b with a pin 5c. For each type 5b,
As shown in FIG. 3, an electric heating means 6 made of nichrome wire or the like is provided, and a lower mold 5b of the baking mold 5 is provided.
A power supply means 7 is arranged to slide following the current collecting bar 6a provided on the inner surface. The electric heating means 6 provided in the baking mold 5 is energized by the power feeding means 7.

8 is a confectionery dough tank provided at the upper part of the machine body 1, and 9 is a discharge port 1 of this confectionery dough tank 8.
The confectionery dough sucked by the confectionery dough pump 9 from the confectionery dough tank 8 is transferred from the confectionery dough nozzle (not shown) at the tip of the confectionery dough pump 9 to the baking mold 5. lower mold 5
b Arranged in multiple horizontal rows on the top surface.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a confectionery scooping device according to the invention of this application, in which the scooping front end 12a of the upper scooper 12 is projected further forward than the scooping front end 13a of the lower scooper 13, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The scheduler 14 is attached to one end of a rotating shaft 16 via a distance piece 15, and this rotating shaft 16 is supported by a rotating bearing 17, and a cam follower 18 is attached to the tip of the other end of the rotating shaft 16. The base end of the rotating arm 19 is attached. The head-lowering operation mechanism 20 of the sketper 14 is rotated as the sketper 14 moves forward, the confectionery scooping operation mechanism 21 is rotated as the sketper 14 moves backward, and the sketper 14 is rotated as the sketper 14 moves backward. It has a head-up operation mechanism 22.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the head lowering operation mechanism 20, a rotation bearing 17 of the scheduler 14 is attached to a slide bearing 23, and this slide bearing 23 is operated by a link mechanism 26 caused by rotation of a plate cam 25 to move the guide shaft. 27 to move the scheduler 14 forward, and with this forward movement, the cam follower 18 provided at the tip of the rotating arm 19 of the scheduler 14 moves against the fixed rail 28.
By sliding between the lower surface of the first guide rail 29 and the lower surface of the second guide rail 30,
Scooping front ends 12a, 13a of the scalper 14
is performing a head-down operation.

As shown in FIG. 7, the confectionery scooping operation mechanism 21 further moves forward from the state shown in FIG. By doing so, the confectionery A baked on the upper surface of the lower mold 5b of the baking mold 5 and arranged in multiple rows horizontally in the direction of entry of the scooper 14 is scooped out at once. In addition, in order to prevent the confectionery A from escaping from the upper surface of the lower mold 5b of the baking mold 5 during this confectionery scooping operation, a partition plate 31 can be placed at the front end of the lower mold 5a of the baking mold 5. .

As shown in FIG. 8, the head raising operation mechanism 22 is configured such that the slide bearing 23 slides on the guide shaft 27 by the operation of the link mechanism 26 due to the rotation of the plate cam 25, and moves the scaler 14 backward. With this backward movement, the cam follower 18 provided at the tip of the rotating arm 19 of the scheduler 14 moves from the lower surface of the second guide rail 30 to the upper surface, and slides on the upper surface of the second guide rail 30. Furthermore, it slides on the upper surface of the first guide rail 29,
By moving onto the fixed rail 28, the scooping front ends 12a, 13a of the scrapper 14 are raised.

Note that the first guide rail 29 is
When the cam follower 18 provided at the tip of the rotating arm 19 of No. 4 slides between the fixed rail 28 and the lower surface of the first guide rail 29, the fixed rail 28 is pulled forward by the spring 32.
When the cam follower 18 provided at the tip of the rotating arm 19 of the scheduler 14 slides on the upper surface of the first guide rail 29, the force pressed by the cam follower 18 is applied to the spring 32. It overcomes the pulling force and closes the gap with the fixed rail 28.

Further, the scooper 14 has a scooping rear end 12b of the upper scooper 12 that protrudes rearward than a scooping rear end 13b of the lower scooper 13 and is bent upward.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The confectionery scooping device of the invention of this application is configured as described above, and in the invention of claim 1, the head lowering operation mechanism 2 of the scooper 14
0, confectionery scooping operation mechanism 21, scooper 1
Since the head raising operation mechanism 22 of No. 4 can be smoothly performed as a series of operations, it is possible to solve the problem of not being able to properly place sweets on the scooper even if the sweets are scooped up as in the conventional confectionery scooping device. According to the invention set forth in claim 2, in addition to having the same effect as the invention set forth in claim 1, a large number of sweets can be scooped out at once, so that the production efficiency of sweets can be increased. etc., have excellent effects.
