Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an okonomiyaki apparatus that can easily grill a large number of delicious okonomiyaki.

Okonomiyaki is made by roughly chopping ingredients such as cabbage, meat, or other fish and vegetables, spreading them together on a heated iron plate with meriken powder dissolved in water, which is called a binder, and grilling each side alternately on a thin flat plate. Bake it. Then, apply sauce and seaweed to the surface according to your preference. The thickness of baked vines is about 1 cm at most. It is said that the trick is to bake it thinly and in a wide area.

By the way, with this conventional method of baking, it takes several minutes to more than ten minutes to bake one piece, and on top of that, it takes time and effort to bake the front and back sides alternately, which is difficult to do in the summer. Furthermore, the biggest drawback is that the shape is extremely unsuitable for holding and eating. In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional difficulties, the present inventors
After cutting the above-mentioned ingredients such as cabbage into very fine pieces, mixing them evenly with the toppings and baking them in a mold, they are baked into a thick piece in an extremely short time, unlike traditional thin okonomiyaki. The development of the okonomiyaki apparatus of the present invention focused on the fact that it is possible to obtain okonomiyaki with an unprecedented flavor of vegetables and fish meat.

Therefore, the gist of the present invention is to arrange a large number of burning holes for storing okonomiyaki raw materials between upper and lower burners using a baking mold, and to provide the upper part of the large number of burning holes below the upper burner. This device is covered with an upper baking plate and heats from the top and bottom of the baking mold to bake a large number of okonomiyaki. In reality, it is possible to manufacture both types of equipment capable of continuous firing and equipment capable of intermittent firing.

This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an apparatus capable of continuous baking, with FIG. 1 showing a front view and FIG. 2 showing a plan view. 3 and 4 show molds that can be fired intermittently, FIG. 3 is a perspective view, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. 3.

First, an embodiment of the continuous firing type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described. This device consists of two chains 4, 4' that are stretched parallel to each other in the front and back between the left sprockets 2, 2' and the right sprockets 3, 3', which are pivotally supported on the left and right sides of the base 1. A large number of baking molds 5 are individually fixed and rotated clockwise. This rotation is effected by driving the motor 6 with a chain 8 stretched between the motor 6 and a sprocket 7 coaxial with the left sprocket 2'. To explain the baking mold 5 here, the baking mold 5 is made of metal such as iron or stainless steel and has round or polygonal baking holes 9, and the baking holes 9 are filled with a certain amount of okonomiyaki ingredients from the hopper 10. It is poured in one by one. Then, as the okonomiyaki is heated, the baking hole 9 of the baking mold 5 is thick and convenient to hold by hand, with a diameter of 8 to 12 cm.
The depth is about 1 to 3 cm. A large number of baking molds 5 having such a shape are fixed between the chains 4 and 4'.

The above-mentioned hopper 10 is provided in the upper left part of this device, and inside this hopper 10, the cabbage,
The other ingredients are chopped into small pieces, and the ingredients are evenly mixed with a binder of meriken flour. The outlet 11 of the hopper 10 is the cylinder 1
The extrusion rod 14, which has a piston 13 fixed in the middle and a disk 15 fixed at the tip, reciprocates from side to side to push a certain amount of okonomiyaki raw material into the baking hole 9 of the baking mold 5. supply to. piston 1
3 reciprocates left and right as follows. That is, the disk 15 is fixed at one end, and the piston 13 is inserted in the middle.
The other end of the extrusion rod 14 has a rotating roller 16.
is attached, and this rotating roller 16 is connected to the spring 1.
7 is constantly pulled and held to the left, and is constantly in contact with the side surface of the oil brush swinging arm 19 fixed to a large diameter straight bevel gear 18 driven by the motor 6. As the oil brush swinging arm 19 moves, the rotating roller 16 contacts and rotates, causing the extrusion rod 14 and the piston 13 to reciprocate from side to side.

Next, the mechanism for applying edible oil into the baking holes 9 of the baking mold 5 is as follows. That is, the shaft 2 of the gear 20 is perpendicular to the straight bevel gear 18 described above.
1 is a flexible shaft that can be bent at the center, and as the bevel gear 18 rotates, the shaft 21 and the oil brush 22 at its tip rotate. The lower end of the aforementioned oil brush swinging arm 19 is formed into a ring shape, and this is extrapolated to the shaft 21, which moves the shaft 2 while drawing a certain trajectory.
Edible oil is applied to the inside of the baking mold by putting a rotating oil brush 22 with one tip into the baking hole 9 or touching the oil outlet 24 of the cooking oil container 23.

When the baking mold 5 is coated with oil, a certain amount of okonomiyaki raw material is then supplied as described above, and the baking mold 5 slides under the upper baking plate 25 as it moves to the right. This upper grilling plate 25 is provided at the upper part between the left sprocket 2, 2' and the right sprocket 3, 3', and an upper burner 26 is further provided above the upper burner 26 to heat the upper baking plate 25 from above. ing. Similarly, a lower burner 27 is provided parallel to the upper burner in order to heat the baking mold 5 from below. Therefore, the okonomiyaki raw material in the baking mold 5 is heated from both the upper and lower parts and is baked while progressing to the right.

After baking, when the baking mold 5 reaches the right sprocket 3, a thin sharp cutter 28 is inserted into the wall of the baking hole 9 of the baking mold 5 to separate the okonomiyaki product from the wall of the baking hole 9. rotate along. The cutter 28 rotates a disk 30 by the rotation of a motor 29 and a flexible shaft fixed thereto, and by fixing the cutter 28 near the outer periphery of this disk 30, when the motor is rotated, the cutter 28 rotates. The okonomiyaki product is peeled off by rotating along the wall of the baking hole 9 of the baking mold 5. Further, the cutter 28 quickly makes one rotation and when it finishes cutting, it rises and leaves the baking mold 5. This is done by rotating the eccentric cam 32 from the motor 6 via the chain 31 and moving the mounting base 33 of the motor 29 up and down.

At the bottom of the base 1, a delivery belt 35 stretched by pulleys 34, 34' is rotated clockwise by a motor 6 via a chain 36 and a sprocket 37, and the baking mold 5 is moved. When facing downward, the product 43 is removed from the burning hole 9 and falls onto the delivery belt 35. Then, the product 43 passes while sliding under the sauce application brush 38 to which sauce is supplied by the sauce reservoir 37, and further, seaweed is sprinkled under the seaweed sprinkler container 39. Aonori sprinkling container 39 has a bar 4 fixed to the lower part of the mounting base 33 of the motor 29 mentioned above, and a shielding plate 40 that blocks many holes at the lower part thereof.
Since it is attached to the lower end of motor 29
As the cutter 28 moves up and down, the shielding plate 40 also moves up and down, and the seaweed is sprinkled onto the product 43 from the seaweed sprinkler container 39. In this way product 43
are sequentially delivered onto the product placement table 42 by a delivery belt.

At the bottom of the base 1, a cleaner 44 for removing burnt debris adhering to the baking mold 5 is provided upward, and when the motor 6 rotates, the chain 45, the sprocket 46, and the coaxial cleaner 44 are removed. It is rotated via gear 47. cleaner 44
The brush part is made up of a bundle of many thin wires, and as it rotates, it removes the okonomiyaki crumbs.

In this way, the inside of the baking mold 5 is coated with oil, the ingredients are poured in, the okonomiyaki is baked by heating from above and below, the okonomiyaki is separated from the baking mold, the sauce is applied, and the seaweed is sprinkled with seaweed. We were able to provide a consistent and continuous okonomiyaki device here.

Next, a device that can bake a large number of okonomiyaki pieces at once, albeit intermittently, is shown in Figures 3 and 4.
Shown in the figure. In this device, a baking mold 5 having a large number of baking holes 9 is placed on a lower baking plate 48, an appropriate amount of okonomiyaki raw material is put into the baking holes 9, the upper baking plate 49 is lowered, and the baking mold 5 is placed on top of the baking mold 5. It is heated by upper and lower burners 50 and 51 and baked. In this case, if the many baking holes 9 of the baking mold 5 are made through holes, when taking out the baked okonomiyaki, the baking mold 5 can be pulled out from above the baking plate 48, pressed down from above, and dropped down to take it out. Therefore, it is very convenient, and the inside of the burning hole 9 is also easy to clean.

In this device, the upper burner 50 and the upper grilling plate 49 are integrally fixed in parallel so that the heat of the burner 50 can reach the upper grilling plate 49 efficiently, and the upper burner 50 and the upper baking plate 49 are fixed together in parallel with each other. In order to slide up and down the four poles 54, both the upper burner 50 and the upper grilling plate 40 are provided with through holes at their four corners and inserted into the poles 54. One end of a wire 55 is fixed to both sides, and the other end of the wire 55 is connected to pulleys 56 and 57, so that it is easy to raise and lower them, especially to raise them.
The upper baking plate 49 and the burner 50 are fixed to the weight 58 through the cradle to reduce the weight lifted by the upper grilling plate 49 and the burner 50.

As detailed above, the present invention abandons the conventional concept of okonomiyaki and grills multiple pieces of okonomiyaki by heating them from above and below at the same time. Compared to other methods, the efficiency is very high, and the baked products are delicious. Moreover, the biggest feature is the shape of the product, which is thick and conveniently sized, making it perfect for eating with your hands.
