Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a molding machine for confectionery dough.

Conventionally, various types of dough forming machines have been provided for use in manufacturing oil confectionery such as donuts. Usually, it is a fairly large-scale device equipped with a driving device, etc., and depending on the application, it has the following disadvantages.

That is, as mentioned above, the conventionally provided devices are large in size and therefore costly, and although suitable for mass production, they are too large for small-scale stores, and the devices are generally not suitable for mass production. However, the structure was not designed to allow for easy exchange of extrusion ferrules and fabrics in the reservoir during production, and small lots of various types of fabrics and fabrics were produced.
The problem is that it is unsuitable for manufacturing shaped objects.

In view of these circumstances, the present invention is a confectionery dough forming machine with a simple structure in which the container storing the dough can be replaced as needed, and the extrusion nozzle can also be selected as appropriate. We aim to provide the following.

When the inventor first considered the basic configuration of such a confectionery dough forming machine, the first
Second, the container for storing the confectionery dough has a nozzle part for guiding the dough in a predetermined shape. Thirdly, if the container is fixed and held in a sufficiently stable position in a predetermined arrangement relationship with the pressurizing mechanism, the molding machine can be completed. Furthermore, by considering practical usability, ease of container replacement, etc., a highly practical confectionery dough forming machine suitable for manufacturing small lots and a wide variety of products was obtained.

Therefore, the gist of the present invention is that it is fixed to a stand,
and a container assembly support knob having an inner circumferential fitting groove provided along an opening opening approximately semicircumferentially in a horizontal plane, and a rod disposed above the knob and capable of vertical movement; The rod has a pressure mechanism fixed to the confectionery dough press plate at the lower end, and the confectionery dough press plate is tightly fitted into the upper end opening, and has a cylindrical body having a nozzle for extruding confectionery dough at the lower end. and a confectionery dough storage container having an upper end flange that fits into the fitting groove of the knob.

The storage container is preferably cylindrical in practical terms, but is not particularly limited to this, and may be, for example, a polygonal cylinder. Correspondingly, the fitting groove in the knob for supporting container assembly may also be provided along an opening having a shape that matches the shape of the container, rather than an opening opening in a semicircumferential shape.

The present invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of a confectionery dough forming machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a side view of the same.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a stand that supports the entire molding machine, and has a cylindrical portion 2 that fits into a fixed column 7 at the rear, and is fixed by tightening a set screw 8 after setting it in an appropriate position in the fitted state. Ru. A gearbox 4 (described later) is fixed to the upper end of the front part of the flat plate 3 integrated with the cylindrical part 2, and a support knob 5 for assembling the fabric storage container (described later) is fixed to the lower end of the front part. It is fixed. This knob 5
As shown in Fig. 3, this is an arte-shaped main body with a fitting groove 6 formed along its inner periphery, which is installed horizontally with the arte opening facing forward. The upper end flange of a dough storage container, which will be described later, is fitted into the fitting groove 6.

Next, the pressurizing mechanism will be described. This is a rack 1 that is assembled to vertically penetrate the gearbox 4 and is axially connected to a part of the gearbox 4.
0, and a pinion (not shown) that is built into the gearbox 4 and meshes with the rack 10, and the shaft of this pinion extends outside the box and has a rotating handle 11 fixed thereto. . By appropriately rotating this rotary handle 11, the rod 9 can be moved upward or downward.

A dough pressing plate 12 is attached to the lower end of the rod 9 and is fitted into a dough storage container to be described later, and a rod 9 retaining head 13 is provided at the upper end.

In addition, the gearbox 4 has a rod fixing screw 14 that can restrict the vertical movement of the rod 9.
is being assembled.

15 is a dough container for storing confectionery dough;
It has a straight cylindrical shape as a whole, and is open at the upper end so that the dough pressing plate 12 of the pressing mechanism can be fitted therein, and is provided with a flange 16 for fitting into the fitting groove 6 of the knob 5. .

Further, a small diameter nozzle portion 17 having an outer circumferential thread is formed at the lower end of the container, and a cap ring 19 is formed.
A cap (dice) 20 is attached and fixed by. The die 20 has a dough extrusion opening in an appropriate shape such as a star shape, as shown in FIG. 6, and is used to give a decorative shape to the extruded dough. Then, as in this example, the cap ring 19
0 is attached and fixed in order to facilitate appropriate replacement. When preparing a large number of storage containers 15, etc., the cap ring 19 may be omitted and the cap ring 19 may be incorporated into the container. You can.

In order to facilitate handling of the storage container in this example, a rod-shaped handle 18 is fixed as shown in FIG. 2.

Next, the handling conditions of the confectionery dough forming machine constructed as described above will be explained.

First, after setting and fixing the stand 1 at a predetermined height, the rotary handle 11 is operated to raise the rod 9 sufficiently upwards. It is necessary to raise it to the upper position. In this state, take the container 12 filled with confectionery dough, fit the upper end flange 16 into the fitting groove 6 of the knob 5, and then operate the rotary handle 11 to insert the dough pressing plate 12 into the container 15. Insert.

When such an assembly relationship is performed, the container 1
5 is regulated in the vertical direction by its fitting relationship with the knob 5, and its position in the radial direction is regulated by the fitting and insertion of the fabric pressing plate 12 of the pressure mechanism, so that the overall stand This means that the state in which it is stably assembled to 1 has been ensured.

In this case, the fit between the dough pressing plate 12 and the inner periphery of the container 15 is preferably such that there is no sufficient gap so as to be suitable for pressing the dough, and this also coincides with the requirement for stability of the assembled state of the container 15. In addition, it is desirable to fit the fitting groove 6 of the knob 5 and the container flange 16 with as little clearance as possible in order to prevent play and ensure stable assembly.

In the above state, if pressure is applied to the dough in the container 15 by operating the rotary handle 11 as appropriate, the confectionery dough will be pushed out of the opening of the mouthpiece in a shape that follows the shape of the opening, and will be of an appropriate length. It may be cut into pieces and served, for example, in deep-fried tofu.

Moreover, when it is desired to change the type of dough or the shape of the extrusion, the assembled container 15 can be removed by performing the reverse operation to the above-mentioned assembly, and another suitably prepared container 15 can be assembled in the same manner. . At this time, there is no problem even if the dough remains in the container, and there is an advantage that replacement work can be performed extremely easily.

As described above, the confectionery dough forming machine of the present invention has a simple configuration, is easy to handle, and is inexpensive, and is particularly suitable for manufacturing small batches of many types of confectionery such as in small-scale stores. It is extremely practical.
