Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a curved hollyhock manufacturing device.

Traditionally, rod-shaped or plate-shaped frozen desserts have been manufactured and sold as frozen desserts, but bent-shaped frozen desserts such as banana-shaped ones are not currently commercially available. This is because it has become impossible to produce products that were previously produced by hand due to increased labor costs. The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for manufacturing a bent banana-shaped cold nest. Here, cold leaves refer to popsicles, ice cream sticks, etc. The cold nest manufacturing equipment is supplied with compressed air and according to instructions from the control panel, utilizes the movement of each cylinder to perform work on each section in sequence, filling, freezing, extracting, and wrapping the lining. It is a device.

The present invention uses such a chilled leaf manufacturing apparatus in which a liquid is filled into a mold tube, cooled from the outside by a refrigerator, and when the liquid has frozen hard enough to prevent the spoon from tipping over, a curved spoon is removed. A curved spoon guide fitting is provided according to the shape of the mold tube, and a curved spoon insertion device is provided to push the curved spoon into the mold tube using a push rod and a curved spoon holding roller, and cooling continues until the liquid has completely frozen. This manufacturing device is characterized in that it has a extraction device in which the curvature of the initial extraction portion of the guide bar, which is freely aligned with the guide groove of the catch arm, is the same as the curvature of the cold collector.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure, operation, and effects of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the curved frozen dessert manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

In the main body 1, a brine for freezing the cold leaf filling liquid is circulated. Brine enters through a brine inlet 2 and exits through a brine outlet 3 for cooling. The space between the brine inlet 2 and the brine outlet 3 consists of an outer can integral with the main body 1 and an inner can having a built-in refrigerant blow-off pipe. The chain is connected to the "rails" provided on both sides of the main body 1 in the direction of movement,
The drive device 4 performs index division and intermittent rotation, and performs a regular movement. Further, when permanent tubes (molds) are attached to the chains on both sides, it becomes a caterpillar shape, which is intermittently moved by the drive device 4. While this intermittent port movement is stopped, the filling machine 5 fills the tube of the mold with liquid. Since this filling may be performed several times if necessary, a plurality of filling machines 5 may be installed. The filled liquid or ice cream is cooled by the refrigerant and gradually freezes while the freezing tube is intermittently sliding. During this time, when the outside has reached the appropriate hardness, the soft center part can be emptied by vacuuming, and it is also possible to fill it with another substance. As the spoon slides through these processes, when the spoon has frozen hard enough to prevent it from tipping over, insert the spoon using the bending spoon difference device 6 and move the spoon intermittently until the spoon is completely frozen. , move to the position of the extraction device 7. Defrosting is performed 2 or 3 steps before the extraction process, and the extractor 7 is gripped by the catch arm and its metal fittings, and the pieces are successively and intermittently slid, and if necessary, the coating device 8 coats them with chocolate, etc. , it will automatically fall when it reaches the packaging position.
Guided to bagging or automatic packaging machines. The frozen tube, which has been empty after the cold leaves have been removed, gradually turns its mouth downward as it moves and moves intermittently until it reaches the position of the filling machine 5, but during this time it is moved to the mold cleaning device 9 for hygiene reasons. Then, they are washed with fresh water, warm water, chemical solutions, etc.

Incidentally, the catch arm from which the product has been dropped also slides due to the intermittent rotation transmitted by the indexing device and moves to the original extraction position. The traditional method is to
It is only possible to produce deformed bars using one-piece or double-freezing tubes.

As a result of various studies and studies aimed at manufacturing a new type of cold nest that has never existed before, the inventor has developed a bent spoon.
He invented a device for automatically manufacturing curved bars using "sticks". The curved spoon setting device 6 of the curved cold millet manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention has a structure in which a curved spoon guide fitting is provided to match the shape of the curved spoon 11, and the curved spoon 11 is pushed into the mold tube by a curved spoon pressing roller. I'm searching.

Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in Figure 2;
FIG. 4 is a main part of a sectional view taken along the line B--B in FIG. 1.
Reference numeral 11 in the drawings indicates a bent spoon, and FIG. 3 shows a front view thereof, and FIG. 4 shows a part of its side view. Third
As shown in the figure, the spoon guide fittings 12a and 12b keep the spoon 11 in a constant vertical position.

Furthermore, the curved spoons 11 are placed side by side in the curved spoon setting device 6 as shown in FIG. 4, and a weight (not shown) is placed on the upper left of the curved spoon 11 in FIG. It is pushed to the lower right of Figure 4. 13 is like a spoon pusher and is a curved spoon 1
This is for pushing down the 1 sheets one by one.

14' is a curved spoon pressing roller for vertically moving the curved spoon 11 pushed by the spoon pushing rod 13 downward.

The bent spoon 11 pushed by the spoon pushing rod 13 and moved vertically downward by the bent spoon pressing roller 14 is pushed into the center of the mold tube 15 (not shown). Next, the operation of the bent spoon device will be explained.

When the mold, which is sliding intermittently in a caterpillar shape on the main body 1, stops, compressed air is injected from the EX side of the cylinder according to instructions from the control board, and when the cylinder rod begins its downward movement, an adjustment screw is attached to the tip of the cylinder rod. Then, the push birch guide plate, spoon push rod, and spoon push rod presser plate are lowered together.

The bent spoon guide fittings 12a, 12 are placed in a spoon case with an "R"-shaped unevenness on the inner surface, and the bent spoons 11 arranged in a downward slope are attached to the spoon body by the weight of the weight.
Since it is pressed between the ends of the spoon 13, when the spoon pusher 13 descends, the spoon located at the bottom is pushed out with the tip of the spoon pusher 13 and inserted into the center of the mold. When I finished, I
Compressed air is injected into the N side according to a control instruction, and the spoon pusher guide plate, spoon presser bar 13, and spoon pusher bar presser plate rise together and return to their original positions. By performing this intermittent up and down movement, the spoon is inserted directly into the center of the mold. The bent spoon guide fittings 12a and 12b inside the spoon case have an "R" shape that matches the bent spoon 11, and the spoon push rod 13 on the spoon holder body slides up and down in order to push out the bent spoons 11 one by one. The groove and the tip of the spoon pushing rod 13 are stepped to match the width of one spoon, and the hardness adjustment screw of the bent spoon holding roller 14 is adjusted, and the spoon is bent. In order to ensure that the spoon is inserted correctly until the end in a pillow position, place a bent spoon presser loaf-14 on the flat surface of the spoon being pushed out.
The feature of the bent spoon inserting device of the present invention is that it is used to prevent two sheets from being pushed out and to prevent bending due to massaging. After the curved spoon 11 is inserted by the curved spoon insertion device 6, cooling is continued to complete freezing of the liquid, and then the extraction process begins.

Defrosting is performed two or three steps before extraction. When the mold stops sliding by the drive device 4, which is an intermittent sliding indexing device, compressed air is forced into the EX side of the cylinder attached to one side of the main body according to instructions from the control panel, and the cylinder rod is pushed out. A rack gear is connected and fixed to the tip of this with an adjustment screw, so when they rise together, the spur gear that engages with this rack gear is rotated, and it is pulled from both sides of the extractor frame through the rattan. Lower the rack gear. At this time, the spur gears can be rotated on both sides of the main body frame in the same manner, and the rack gear can be raised within the main body frame via the shaft. Since the defrost hot water can is attached to the tip of this rack gear, when the catch arm grips the spoon well and descends to a position where it can be easily removed, the hot water surface and temperature of the defrost hot water can can be adjusted to a suitable defrost temperature. Adjust and place it so that it can be placed on the inside of the mold, and the defrost hot water can will rise. This up-and-down movement is repeated several times until the inner surface of the frozen tube is thawed, and the claw of the catch arm is used to pick up the curved spoon and pull it out. FIG. 5 shows the main parts of a side view of the extraction device 7 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

21 is a catch arm, 22 is a guide groove, and 23 is a guide bar slidably fitted to the guide groove 22.

FIG. 6 is a plan view of the guide groove 22. In this embodiment, it is assumed that ice cream made from original bananas is manufactured. A curved guide bar 23 that matches the ice-shaped freezing tube is attached to the main body 1 of the device, and a guide groove 22 concave to the guide bar 23 is attached to the catch arm 21, so that the catch arm moves up and down. The movement follows the curve of the guide bar 23, and the entire curved bar can be smoothly removed. Note that the shape of the unevenness is not limited to this example. It is quite possible that the exact opposite is true. The curvature of the portion 231 in charge of initial extraction of the guide bar 23 is made the same as the curvature of the curved cold food, and it is particularly desirable that the curvature of the portion of the curved spoon 11 be the same. In this embodiment, a case where the curvature is 18 m. catch arm 21
When the spoon of the bent bar is taken with the claw of the cylinder, compressed air is injected from the IN side of the cylinder according to instructions from the control panel, and the product is extracted as it rises.

At this time, the upper part of the curved spoon follows the trajectory of the imaginary line A shown in FIG. It is clear from the configuration of the extraction device of the present invention described above that the trajectory of this A is exactly the same as the curve of the guide bar 23. The catch arm completely rises to its original position and the extraction process is completed. The catch arm that has completed extraction sends the ice to the next packaging process. When the catch arm is completely raised, compressed air is injected from the EX side of the cylinder according to instructions from the control panel.
The cylinder rod is pushed out and the indexing pin of the indexing disk attached to the shaft is pushed to transmit divided intermittent rotation, which in turn transmits the intermittent rotation to the chain gear via the shaft, horizontally moving the catch arm. The intermittent emotions are transmitted to the chain provided for movement, and the catch arm moves sequentially along with the chain until the product falls at a predetermined position and flows into the packaging process. Since the bent mulberry manufacturing device of the present invention is constructed and operated as described above, it is possible to provide bent bar products, such as banana-shaped ice cream, which are currently not commercially available for the aforementioned reasons. This makes it easier to respond to changes in customers' preferences, which greatly helps increase sales.
