JPS60981B2 - A device that applies viscous liquid such as thiokolate to the surface of biscuits, bread, etc. - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in an apparatus for depositing a viscous liquid such as chocolate on the surface of biscuits, bread, etc.

Originally, when applying chocolate, etc. to the surface of biscuits, bread, etc., it is most important to apply it evenly and with good appearance.To do this, it is necessary to apply a very thin layer of chocolate from the top of the bread, etc. that is flowing on the conveyor, and to cut it in the form of a curtain. As stated in the applicant's special article No. 561-013039, the best method is to sprinkle chocolate evenly and evenly.

The method is shown in FIG. 1 below. ■ is a tank, ■ is a pump, ■ is a control valve, ■ is a flow pan, ■ is a conveyor, and a pan is placed on top of it. ■ is a carpet template. In the above device, the liquid chocolate dropped into the flow pan (2) by the pump (2) falls onto the curtain plate (2), becomes thin and curtain-like, and falls and adheres to the surface of the banyi moving on the conveyor (2). However, this method also poses new problems.

In other words, the flow of chocolate cannot be stopped instantaneously at any time. As shown in Figure 1, while the chocolate falls continuously onto the conveyor (2), there are some gaps between the pieces of chocolate. Therefore, the most important problem is that chocolate adheres to places other than the pan, such as the conveyor (2), which not only pollutes the conveyor (2) but also is uneconomical. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems.The thin chocolate curtain is cut into a fan shape between the curtain plate (■) and the conveyor (■) by taking advantage of the property that the thin chocolate curtain can be cut into a fan shape when a small obstacle enters between them. The reason is that a blocking piece (■) is provided.

An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 2, steps (1) to (4) are the same as those of the prior art.

■ is a blocking piece. The blocking piece (2) can cut or connect the chocolate curtain and can be reciprocated as desired. The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and FIG. 3 shows what kind of effects are produced when the above-mentioned mounting is performed. FIG. 3A is a diagram in which the product, Panyi, has come under the chocolate curtain and chocolate is attached to its surface. In B, there was a chocolate curtain between the breads, so I took out ■ and cut the curtain to prevent it from getting on the conveyor. ■ is a saucer to store excess chocolate. As explained above, by taking into account the interval between products and the speed of the conveyor, and timing the entry and exit of the blocking piece (2), the same effect as stopping the chocolate curtain arbitrarily and instantaneously can be obtained without stopping the chocolate curtain.

In the above example, we explained that the blocking piece (■) is activated when the chocolate curtain comes to the top of the conveyor, but if you want to attach chocolate to the buns alternately, you can use that timing, or multiple chocolate curtains can be attached to one chocolate curtain. It goes without saying that it is also possible to use cut plates and give different timings to each. or,
If you want to change the cutting position of the curtain plate without changing the position of the blocking piece (■), just change the inside of the blocking piece (■).

As explained above, by using the present invention, it is possible to pour chocolate onto products at will without contaminating the comparator while always pouring a fixed amount of chocolate.

Conventionally, it was considered difficult to randomly apply different seasonings to products flowing on a single conveyor, but as shown in Figure 4, ■ is a black curtain, ■ is a yellow curtain, and ■ is a white curtain. By moving the conveyor (2) in the direction of the arrow and considering the timing of the blocking piece (2), it is possible to add any different flavor to the food.
