Abstract

PURPOSE:To integrate a soft ice cream with a different kind of food, by attaching a barrel for the supply of the different food at the exterior part of a nozzle for the extrusion of the soft ice cream, connecting the barrel with the inside of the nozzle through a small hole, and supplying the different food from the barrel to the nozzle through the small hole. CONSTITUTION:The soft ice cream I is extruded through the die 2E of the nozzle 2 along the direction of the arrow X. The barrel 2G to supply the different kind of food IA is attached to the exterior part of the nozzle 2, and the barrel 2G is connected with the inside of the nozzle 2 through the small hole 2H. The food IA is transferred under pressure along the direction of the arrow Y, and sent through the pipe 2F, the barrel 2G and the small hole 2H to the inside of the nozzle 2. When the soft ice cream I and the food IA are transferred under pressure in the synchronized manner, the soft ice cream I is extruded through the die 2E together with the food IA integrated to the surface of the soft ice cream I in the form of a strip. Since the nozzle 2 is lifted under rotation around the axis of the cup 3 without rotating around its own axis during the filling of the soft ice cream in the cup 3, the soft ice cream I extruded from the die 2E forms a twisted spiral.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to provide an apparatus that can simultaneously fill ice cream containers arranged in a spiral stack with different kinds of foods in a striped manner on the outer circumferential surface. See the drawings below. The details of one embodiment of the present invention will now be described.

The outline of the device 1 of the present application is the following notice. In a device that automatically fills the cup 3 with frozen confectionery viscous substance (■) by rotating the nozzle 2 and moving the nozzle or the cup 6 up and down, the nozzle 2 supplies difficult food IA such as chocolate to the outside of the nozzle 2. An outer cylindrical tube 2G is installed for the purpose, and the inside of this outer cylindrical tube 2G and the nozzle 2 are configured to communicate through a small hole 2H. The nozzles or cups are moved up and down, and when the nozzles or cups are moved up and down, the rotational diameter of the nozzles is increased or decreased so that the nozzles are stacked in a spiral manner.

Each component will be explained in detail below. It is constructed from parallel front and rear frames 4A, 4B and supporting legs 4C made of angle wood or the like. A known transfer device 5 that intermittently transfers cups 6 arranged in parallel from the left to the right on the upper surface of the frame 4.
On the other hand, the front and rear frames 4A and 4B are provided with a shaft 7 that is raised and lowered by an elevating cam 6, and the upper end of the shaft 7 is connected by a beam 7B, which is a bracket provided on the shaft 7B. 7C
A nozzle support plate 8 is suspended and attached via a shaft 10. The upper and lower ends of this shaft 10 are connected to the bracket 7C and the nozzle support plate 8 through known spherical bearings 10at, respectively, so that the nozzle support plate can swing freely. . Nozzles 2 corresponding to the cups 6 arranged in parallel are attached to the support plate 8 in parallel, and the pulp 2B of the nozzle 2 is configured to be opened and closed by an attached valve opening/closing cylinder 2A.

On the other hand, a spindle 9 is rotatably installed in the front and rear frames 4A, 4B parallel to the shaft 7, and the upper end 9A and lower end 9B of the spindle 9 are configured to coincide with the rotation axis 9D of the spindle 90. Further, a portion other than the upper end 9A and the lower end 9B is an eccentric portion 9C which is curved in an eccentric state. Although this spindle has a left and right pair, the eccentric portions 9C are curved in the same direction. This spindle 9 is inserted into a circular hole 8A formed in the support plate 8, and is inserted into a cam 9E when filling the ice cream.

Limit switch 9F, speed controller 9G, continuously variable speed motor 9H, bevel gear box 9I, chain wheel 9
It is configured to rotate by J.

Next, a mechanism for operating the filling nozzle 2 will be explained.

A cup 6 to be filled immediately below the filling nozzle 2 is sequentially fed out and stopped in a known manner. Nozzle 2 moves along cam 6
Reach 1 point. That is, the nozzle 2 reaches the container tII point. At that point, the pulp opening/closing cylinder 2A is actuated by a separately placed signal, and the pulp 2B on the nozzle opens and the frozen confectionery viscous material is ejected from the nozzle 2. The nozzle 2 moves from the S1 point to the 82nd point by the movement of the cam, and at the 83rd point, the cylinder 2A is activated again by a separate signal, the valve 2B on the nozzle is closed, and the emission of the frozen confectionery viscous substance is stopped. but,
Since the nozzle 2 has a narrow tip, pressure remains in the nozzle 2 even when the valve 2B is closed, so the cam is stopped at the same position from the 83rd point to the SaI point, and when the pressure is gone, the cam is stopped at the 881st point. Move to point 84 and separate the frozen confectionery viscous substance from the cup. The height from the to point to the 14th point of the product and the operation of the cam have been described above, but next, the relationship between the rotation of the nozzle and the spindle will be explained. From t1 point of product to t2
From point t2 to point t3, fill the cup up to cup 6, fill it in a spiral shape from point t2 to point t3, and from point t3 to point 14, fill it in a thin layer. Also, for the cam, 81 to 82 points match the product's t1 to t2 points, 82 to 83 points match the product's t2 to t3 points, and 83 to 84 points match the product's t3 to 14 points. Match the points. In addition, for spindles 9 to 20 points to 94 points are product t.

The height matches 14 points from the point. The part where the product is made into a spiral is from point t2 to point t3, and the corresponding spindle is from point 92 to point 23. However, in order to make the product spiral from point t2, drive is applied to the spindle from the 9Opit point, and the point is 92. It is necessary to move to a point. That is,
The spindle 9 operates the limit switch 9F through the cam 9E, rotates the continuously variable speed motor 9H according to the speed (rotation speed) control value of the speed controller 9G, and rotates the spindle 9 via the bevel gear box 9I.

Even if rotation is applied to this spindle 9, the spindle will be p
The area between o to pl and p3 to 94 is the same as the spindle center axis, and the diameter obtained by eccentrically moving between points pi and p3 with respect to the spindle core without rotating is the same as the product diameter. That is, from product jl to t2, the nozzle 2 vertically fills cup B with one batch of frozen confectionery viscous material, and between t2 and ta, the nozzle 2 vertically fills the cup B with the frozen confection viscous material.
The frozen confectionery viscous material is piled up in a spiral shape while changing the rotational diameter by the eccentric movement from 11 to p3, and the products become conical and have a smaller diameter as they move upward from t2 to t3. That is, it matches the movement of the diameter of spindle p1 to p4,
The position t4 in the product pressure is t4 in the top sectional view, and the nozzle 2 is located at p4 in the spindle sectional view at the height of t4 in the spindle. Furthermore, the shape of the product can be changed by changing the shape of the tip of the nozzle 2. As described above, the nozzle 2 is equipped with an outer cylindrical tube 2G for supplying a different type of food IA such as chocolate on the outside of the nozzle 2, and a small hole 2H is formed between the inside of this outer cylindrical tube 2G and the nozzle 2. It is constructed in a connected structure. In the figure,
2C is a pulp opening/closing lever, 2D is a star-shaped discharge port in the nozzle, 2E is a circular discharge port, 6A is a camshaft, and 7A is a lifting bearing.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained together with the effects.

The frozen confectionery viscous material (1) is fed under pressure from the X direction through the pulp, passes through the nozzle 2, and is discharged from the discharge port 2E. An outer cylindrical tube 2G for supplying a different type of food IA such as chocolate is screwed to the outside of the nozzle 2, and the different type of food IA is supplied through a pipe 2F connected to the outer cylindrical tube 2GK. 2
Since H is a small hole that passes through the outer cylindrical pipe 2G and the inside of the nozzle 2, if the different type of food IA is fed under pressure from the Y direction, the different type of food IA will pass through the pipe 2F, the outer cylindrical pipe 2G, and the small hole 2H, and enter the inside of the nozzle 2. reach Frozen dessert viscous material than X! , Y more heterogeneous food I
If A is pumped in synchronization, the foreign food IA will be discharged from the discharge port 2E with the foreign food IA attached to the outer circumferential surface of the frozen confectionery viscous material (2) in a streak-like manner. On the other hand, when filling the cup 6, the nozzle support plate 8 is located at the eccentric portion 9C of the spindle 9, and the nozzle 2 does not rotate but only revolves around the center of the cup 6 and rises. The frozen confectionery viscous material I is twisted and piled up in a spiral shape. Therefore, the foreign food IA that is streaked around the outer periphery of the viscous frozen dessert also becomes a twisted streak (see FIGS. 23 to 27). Note that the number of these lines may be adjusted appropriately by adjusting the holes that communicate with the inner tube and the outer tube. Also,
Dissimilar foods in the outer tube can be removed by intermittent pressure from a separate pump.
Can be injected into viscous frozen desserts in a timely manner. Different kinds of food come out from the tip of the nozzle on the surface of the frozen confectionery viscous material, and the frozen confectionery viscous material that comes out is rotated by the rotation of the spindle at the same time as the cam ascends directly above the container, and at the beginning of filling, it rotates as it rises to the center of the container. By increasing or decreasing the diameter and returning to the center when filling is completed, it is possible to simultaneously fill the surface of the stacked frozen confectionery viscous material with different types of foods in a streaky manner.

The effects of the present application are as follows.

Until now, there was a method of manually filling two colors of frozen confectionery viscous substances of the same sex, but there was no method of stacking frozen confectionery and non-frozen confectionery at the same time in a spiral shape. In order to respond to the currently diversifying tastes of consumers, it is possible to make changes by not changing the basic frozen desserts, but by changing different types of foods to match the fashionable tastes of consumers at the time. Furthermore, by increasing the number of nozzles, this device can automatically produce sheep-type ice cream in large quantities. In addition, according to product K of the present application, as shown in FIG. 23, the different types of foods on the surface are rotated and are always turned over to the center of the frozen dessert, so that the viscous frozen dessert and the different types of foods mix and become delicious.
