Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remover for taking out chilled rice cake dough, which is an intermediate raw material for hail production, from its storage frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, in the manufacture of hail, steamed raw rice cake is kneaded or kneaded to form a dough-like dough, which is first opened at the top as shown in FIG. Then, the rice cake dough is stored in a relatively shallow mochi dough storage frame (2) having a hole (1) penetrating vertically in the central portion, and then cooled to solidify the rice dough. This is because it is easy and easy to set in the following cutting device in the subsequent process. Next, the solidified chilled rice cake dough is taken out from the storage frame, attached to the rotating shaft of the cutting device, and the dough is rotated while applying a blade to the outer periphery of the chilled rice cake dough to continuously form strips of the chilled rice cake dough. I will scrape off the dough. After that, the striped hail dough is cut into a suitable size, and the cut pieces are fried to obtain hail.

By the way, conventionally, in the above-mentioned manufacturing process, it was reliant on a person to take out the rice cake dough (3) cooled and solidified in the rice cake dough storage frame (2) from the frame (2). However, since this mochi dough (4) is firmly attached to the inner surface of the storage frame (2), it cannot be taken out easily.Because this mochi dough is usually about 50 cm in diameter and weighs about 20 kg, I was forced to work very hard when I took it out.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Mochi dough (3) cooled and solidified as shown in FIG.
A plurality of rice cake dough storage frames (2) that have been stored are stacked in a row, arranged in two rows, and transferred by a horizontal feed conveyor (10).
Transport to the front of 1). This transfer lifter (11) has a horizontal arm (12) that moves up and down, and two rows of storage frames (2) placed below.
A double chuck (13) for sandwiching each side surface of (2) is provided, and an arm support tower (14) for supporting the lateral arm (12) is further accommodated in the double chuck (13). frame
(2) The (2) can be laterally moved to transfer it onto the drive conveyor (15) adjacent to the transfer lifter (11).

Next, the storage frame (2) mounted on the drive conveyor (15)
Is transported as shown in FIG. 4 and the following reversing arm (20)
Sent to the department. That is, the reversing arm (20) is two L-shaped arms which are provided so as to face each other at a position where the storage frame (2) is sandwiched. It has a chuck (22) driven by a cylinder (21), and the other end is supported by a reversing shaft (23).

Both chucks (2) of the above two reversing arms (20)
After holding the storage frame (2) with (2), set the reversing arm (20) to the reversing axis.
Rotate around (23) to flip the storage frame (2) and turn the reversing arm
A guide cylinder (3
Move above 0).

Then, the chuck (22) of the reversing arm (20) is released to guide the storage frame (2) from above the guide cylinder (30).
It is dropped inside and collided with the impact surface (31) at the bottom of the cylinder (30) as shown in FIG. 5, and the impact vibration causes the cooling rice cake dough that adheres tightly to the inner surface of the storage frame (2) to the frame ( 2) Separate from
Immediately after that, the impact surface (31) is connected to the air cylinder (32) for opening and closing the bottom plate, the slide bottom plate (33) that opens and closes freely is opened, and the separated cooling dough drops onto the cooling dough conveyor (34) below. Let At this time, since the lower front surface of the guide cylinder (30) is open, the opening air cylinder (35) is prevented so that the falling storage frame (2) is not displaced to the opening side.
The stopper (36) that moves up and down is lowered to close this opening.

The empty storage frame (2) thus separated and left in the guide cylinder (30) is pushed out onto the front frame transfer conveyor (38) by the frame pushing air cylinder (37), It is transported by (38) and is used for storing the rice cake dough again and cooling it. On the other hand, the cooled rice cake dough on the dough carrying conveyor (34) is carried to the above cutting device.

The mochi dough mentioned above includes not only dough made from sticky rice but also dough made from nonglutinous rice. Further, although only a circular mochi dough storage frame is shown in this embodiment, a square mochi dough frame may be used. Further, the height of the guide tube of the chilled rice cake dough separating section needs to be high enough to surely separate the chilled rice cake dough when the rice cake dough storage frame is dropped.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cooled and solidified rice cake dough can be easily taken out mechanically without manpower, labor saving can be achieved, and the processing capacity can be dramatically increased. An effect such as improvement can be achieved.
