Description

[Detailed description of the invention] A. Industrial application field The present invention relates to a pleat forming device for a gyoza making machine.
Specifically, the present invention mainly relates to a pleat forming device for a semi-automatic dumpling making machine in which a skin material is manually placed in a mold.

B. Prior Art Conventionally, as a method for mechanically forming dumplings, for example, there is a method disclosed in Tokukai No. 61-285971.

In this method, gyoza skins are punched out from the manufactured noodle strips, pleats are formed, ingredients are supplied onto the skins, the mold is closed to form the gyoza, and then, This is a method of releasing the mold.

C. Problems to be solved by the invention Since the conventional method described above automatically performs everything from punching the noodle strips to releasing the molded dumplings, the equipment used is inevitably large and requires a large installation space. In addition to being necessary, it also had the disadvantage of increasing installation costs.

Additionally, in order to downsize the equipment, semi-automatic gyoza making machines are used in which the skin material is manually fed into the mold, but this can cause misalignment in the supply position of the skin material, causing the formed gyoza to be uneven. It was a victory.

In view of the above points, the present invention is a gyoza making machine that is small in size, requires less installation space, can be installed at low cost, and can reliably produce pleats of the same shape and size compared to dumplings made by experts. The present invention provides a molding device.

D. Means for solving the above-mentioned problem The means of the present invention adopted to achieve the above-mentioned object is used in a dumpling making machine that supplies the skin material 9 to a mold 10 for molding dumplings. The elastic press die 1 for pleat forming is disposed in a fixed position where it is temporarily stopped so as to be movable up and down.

E. Function In the embodiment, the open mold 10 for molding dumplings into which the skin material 9 is manually supplied is stopped at a fixed position by the intermittent rotation of the turntable 7.

When the mold 10 stops at a fixed position, the rod 4 of the elevating mechanism 3 descends, and the skin material 9 on the pleat forming member 5 of the receiving mold 12 is strongly pressed by the elastic press 1 for pleat forming.

A pleat is completely formed on the outer edge of the skin material 9, which is strongly sandwiched between the pleat shape 5a of the pleat forming member 5 and the protrusion 1a of the elastic mold 1, before the mold 10 is closed.

At subsequent intermittent stops, the tool 18 is supplied, the mold is closed,
Demolding is performed to ensure that the finished gyoza is pleated.

Then, after the skin material 9 is manually supplied to the next opened mold 10, pleats are formed again by the elastic pressing mold 1.

Such operations are performed sequentially.

F. Example Hereinafter, one example of implementing the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In the drawing, an elastic press 1 for pleat molding is formed into a semicircular plate shape using a semi-hard synthetic resin such as silicone rubber, and is fixed to the lower end of a rod 4 of a cylinder serving as a lifting mechanism 3 suspended from a stand 2. ing. More specifically, a protrusion 1a that matches the pleat shape 5a of a pleat forming member 5 of a mold 10, which will be described later, is formed on the outer edge and is fixed to the lower end of the rod 4 via a mounting plate 6.

A stand 2 on which a lifting mechanism 3 is suspended is erected on a machine base 8 on which a turntable 7 is mounted.

Further, the stand 2 is erected at a fixed position where a mold 10 for molding dumplings on which a dumpling skin material 9 is placed is stopped.

The elevating mechanism 3 suspended from the stand 2 is not limited to a cylinder, as long as it moves the elastic mold 1 up and down.
A cam or a gear may also be used.

The mold 10 for molding dumplings is made of a metal such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel that does not cause food hygiene problems, and has a base 11 formed with a receiving surface 11a for molding the bottom of the top dumpling, and an inner surface. It consists of a receiving mold 12 with a concave curved surface 12a formed thereon and a pleat molding member 5 fitted and fixed to the outer edge thereof, and a press mold 13 with a concave curved surface 13a formed on its inner surface.
They are mounted concentrically on the outer circumferential side of the upper turntable 7 at equal intervals.

The receiving mold 12 and the pressing mold 13 of the mold 10 are supported by hinges 14, 14 on the stand 11 so that they can be opened and closed, and are supported by stoppers 15, 15 when the mold is opened, and closed mold guides 16, 16 are supported when the mold is closed. The mold is closed by guide rails 17, 17 on the turntable 7.

Reference numeral 19 denotes an ingredient filling device that supplies the ingredients 18 onto the skin material 9 after pleating, and 20 a finishing device that removes the gyoza formed by closing the mold 10 and transfers it to a container or the like (not shown).

G. Effect of the invention As described above, the pleat forming device of the gyoza making machine according to the present invention can be used, for example, in a semi-automatic dumpling making machine in which the skin material 9 is manually placed in the gyoza mold 10. An elastic press die 1 for pleat forming is disposed in a position where the folded die 10 stops, and is movable up and down.
Since the skin material 9 is manually placed on the mold 10, it can be installed even in a small space, and the skin material 9 is pressed against the pleat forming member 5 using the elastic pressing mold 1 to ensure the pleats are formed. Like tsuta gyoza, it is possible to easily mass-produce well-presented gyoza of the same shape and size.
