Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a surface-grilling machine for meatballs, etc.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a surface baking machine that efficiently bakes the surface of meatballs and the like while moving them by rotating rollers arranged in parallel.

(Prior Art) It is known that grilled items such as meatballs can be eaten more deliciously by first grilling the surface during production and then grilling the inside before eating, without losing flavor. However, since no machine has been devised that can evenly bake just the surface, some foods are baked from the surface to the inside until they are eaten, or the whole thing is baked before production.
A method is used to heat the food before eating.

(Problems with conventional technology) When grilling for the first time before eating, the freshness of the meatballs or other items to be grilled decreases.Also, when grilling the whole thing and then heating it before eating, the meat juices etc. have already been drained and the meat is This often spoiled the taste of balls, etc.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and includes a plurality of rollers arranged in parallel, a conveyor provided at the side end of the rollers, and objects to be baked on the conveyor. To provide a baking machine which can evenly bake the surface of meatballs, etc. by providing a guide plate for introducing meatballs between the rollers and by disposing a heater above or below the rollers.

(Example) A surface baking machine for meatballs, etc. will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a surface burning machine 1 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the same.

The surface baking machine 1 includes a plurality of rollers 2a, 2b, 2c...
... are arranged in parallel, and a conveyor 4 is provided at either side end. The rollers 2a, 2b... have rotating shafts 3a, 3b, respectively, and these rotating shafts 3a, 3b...
The rollers 2a, 2b, . . . themselves rotate, so-called, on their own axis by a drive device to be described later. On the other hand, the conveyor 4 is provided with a rotating mechanism separate from the rollers 2a, 2b, .

Adjacent rollers 2a, 2b... are provided with their respective rotating shafts 3a, 3b parallel to each other, and the rollers 2a and 2b are provided with their respective rotating shafts 3a, 3b parallel to each other.
and 3b have opposite slopes.
In other words, if both rollers 2a and 2b are provided with the same slope, and the rollers 2a and 2b are arranged side by side with these slopes facing each other, the distance O between the rollers 2a and 2b will be from one end of the rollers 2a and 2b. It has the same amount of spacing up to the other end.

On the other hand, arc-shaped guide plates 5, 5, . . . are provided at predetermined positions on the conveyor 4. The guide plates 5, 5, . . . are used to introduce baked goods such as meatballs loaded onto the conveyor 4 into a distance O between the rollers. Further, a heater H is provided on the upper or lower surface of these rollers 2a, 2b, etc., and this heater H heats each roller 2a, 2b,... itself and directly bakes the surface of the meatball or the like.

In addition, when the heater H is provided above the rollers 2a, 2b, . . . and a reflective plate is used below, the heating effect will be increased, and the surface of the meatballs can be baked evenly despite using little thermal energy.

Next, the case where meatballs M, M, . . . are baked using the surface baking machine 1 of the present invention will be explained.

First, the meatballs M, M, . The rollers 2b and 2c are connected to their respective rotating shafts 3.
The roller 2b is rotated on its own axis by the rollers b and 3c, but the diameter of the roller 2b gradually increases from one end where it is introduced to the other end, while the diameter of the roller 2c is large at the part where it is introduced and gradually becomes smaller. A slope is attached. Therefore, the meatballs M introduced between the intervals O rotate in sequence from the introduction end to the other end (in the direction of the arrow) as the rollers 2b and 2c rotate in a predetermined direction. . Then, it is placed on the conveyor at the other end, introduced into another interval O by the guide plate 5, and moved to the conveyor 4 in the same manner. In this way, the meatballs M, M... move in a predetermined direction in a meandering manner between the rollers 2a, 2b..., and during this movement, the surface becomes uniform due to the radiant heat from the heater H and the heating from each roller. burnt to By controlling the moving speed of the meatballs M, M, . . . and the amount of heat of the heater H, the depth of surface quenching of the meatballs M, M, . . . can be appropriately controlled.

Incidentally, if the surface of each roller is coated with a resin such as Teflon, the rotation and movement of the object to be baked will be performed more smoothly.

3 and 4 are a side view and a detailed view of the rotating device of the surface burning machine 1, respectively.

As described above, the rollers 2a, 2b, . . . are rotated by the rotating shafts 3a, 3b, . This rotation is carried out by supporting the rotating shaft 3a on bearings 7, 7, and rotating a worm wheel 8 attached to one end of the rotating shaft 3a by a worm 9. Also, since the bearings 7, 7... are fixed to the chains 6, 6 via attachments 61,
When the chain 6 rotates via sprockets (not shown) provided at both ends, the rollers 2a, 2b,
2c... are also rotated, so-called revolving, so that the aforementioned meandering movement of the meatball M between the rollers and simultaneous movement directly in a predetermined direction is possible. Therefore, the time per unit of the surface baking process is reduced.

Note that the so-called rotation and revolution of these rollers can be controlled by an inverter in terms of rotation speed and rotation direction.

(Effects of the Invention) The surface burning machine having the above configuration has the following effects.

Since the rollers can be rotated and the entire roller can be rotated while each roller is rotated, it is possible to move meatballs and the like while rotating them, and it is possible to bake the surface uniformly.

Since the meatballs and the like move between the predetermined roller intervals, their formability is always maintained without deformation. Therefore, there is little variation in shape quality.

If this machine is attached to a molding line for meatballs, etc., the manufacturing process and surface baking process will be continuous, improving production efficiency.
