Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a fishball forming apparatus that automatically forms fishballs in a fish paste processing plant.

(b) Conventional technology Figures 7 and 8 of the drawings show conventional fishball forming equipment.
What is shown in the figure is provided by the present inventor, and this device consists of an extruder b that intermittently extrudes a fixed amount of raw material from outlet a, and an extruder b that intermittently extrudes a fixed amount of raw material from outlet a, and when the raw material is extruded from outlet a, A dent forming member c that presses the central part from the outside to create a dent, an operating means d that presses and releases the dent forming member c onto the raw material, and when a dent is made in the raw material, the outlet a pair of straight blades e that move from the front to the center along a and cut the raw material in an arc shape (kamaboko shape);
e, and an operating means f for giving internal and external rotational motion to the straight blades e and e, so that the weight of the product is precisely aligned and the shape is as good as handmade. Moreover, since the raw materials are not kneaded or put under pressure during molding, quality deterioration due to over-kneading of raw materials or crushing of contaminants does not occur, and therefore, high-quality fishballs can be produced at low cost. It had a great effect on production.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional apparatus described above, since the concave forming member is pressed against the raw material without moistening it, the raw material sticks to the molded member and when the molded member is separated, some parts may Since the state and amount of the removed material is undefined, the formation of the depression may not be carried out as desired, resulting in a difference in the weight of the product, and the cutting edge of the raw material may not be straight. Since a pair of these were used and cut by interlocking them at the center of the raw material outlet, the side shape of the cut surface was an arc as shown in Figure 8, but the front shape was a straight line as shown in Figure 9. If you use a pair of cutting blades, the raw material will be cut completely if the blades touch each other, but if you do not touch the blades, the blades will be damaged, so if you do not touch them, there will be uncut parts. This caused problems such as this part being torn off, leaving scratches on the product and reducing the quality of the product.

Therefore, the present invention provides a fishball forming apparatus in which the above-mentioned conventional problems are solved by providing a humidifying means in the concave forming member and using a semicircular reciprocating cutting blade.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The fishball forming apparatus according to the present invention includes an extruder that extrudes a certain amount of raw material from an outlet, and an extruder that presses the center of the raw material from the outside when the raw material is extruded from the outlet. a concavity forming member for forming a concavity by pressing the concavity, a humidifying means for moistening the concave forming member so that the raw material does not adhere thereto, an operating means for pressing and releasing the concave member against the raw material; When a recess is made, a semicircular cutting blade moves from one side to the other inside the outlet to cut the raw material into a spherical surface, and this cutting blade is given a reciprocating rotational movement in the left and right direction.

(E) Function In the apparatus of the present invention based on the above-mentioned means, when raw material for fishballs is supplied to the extruder, the extruder pushes out a certain amount of the raw material from the outlet, and as a result, the concave forming member is moved to the center of the raw material by the operating means. At this time, the forming member is moistened by the humidifying means, so once the desired depression is formed without causing material adhesion, it is returned to the waiting position by the operating means. During this time, the semicircular cutting blade is rotated by the operating means from one outlet to the other to cut the recessed raw material into a spherical shape, and is temporarily stopped at the other outlet. During this time, when the next raw material is fed out, the dent forming member operates and creates a dent in the raw material, and the cutting blade rotates in the opposite direction and cuts off the raw material, so the shape remains as good as handmade. Tatsumi balls of the same amount can be automatically and efficiently produced.

(F) Example Next, an example of the apparatus related to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a hopper in the raw material extruder A, into which the raw material is introduced through the opening at the top and sent out through the outlet 2 at the bottom.

When the cutting blade 24 crosses the outlet 2, the rotational movement of the semicircular blade causes the cutting blade 24 to rotate as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the cutting is performed into the same spherical shape as the handmade one, and when the cutting is finished, the operating means C and D release the recess forming member 21 and the cutting blade 24 to a position where they do not interfere with the next extrusion of the raw material, and accordingly, the extruder A When extruding the next raw material, the dent forming member 21 and the cutting blade 24 operate to create a dent in the raw material,
Since this cutting operation is repeated repeatedly, the fishballs are automatically produced with accurate weight and a good shape that looks like handmade fishballs.

(G) Effects of the Invention The device according to the present invention extrudes the raw material intermittently using an extruder, presses a recess forming member to the center of the raw material to form a recess, and then cuts the raw material into an arc shape using a cutter. Since the fishballs are molded, the weight of the product is exactly the same, the shape is as good as hand-made, and the raw materials are not kneaded or subjected to pressure during molding. Because the amount is small, there is no quality deterioration due to over-kneading or crushing of contaminants.
In addition, the raw material molded member is wetted by the humidifying means and presses the raw material, and at this time, the raw material does not stick to the molded member, so that the depressions are formed accurately as desired, and there is no unevenness in the weight of the product. The cutting blade is semi-circular and cuts the raw material by reciprocating rotational motion, resulting in a spherical cut surface, making the product fishballs in the same shape as handmade fishballs, and the cut surface is clean with no uncut marks, increasing product value. It has a unique effect in producing high-quality fishballs with a high amount and a good weight at a low cost.
