Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic dough food rolling device that can automatically roll a dough food molded into a predetermined shape by a molding machine with a roll core inserted therein.

Fried food products that are rolled up with a roll core such as burdock or squid inside are made by placing the roll core approximately in the center of the dough food that has been formed into a predetermined shape using a molding machine, and then rolling it by hand to shape it. It is made and fried in oil, but the work of wrapping the fermented food around the core of the roll is very tedious, resulting in poor quality of the product.
There are various problems in that it requires a lot of manpower and time and is extremely uneconomical.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention aims to provide an automatic dough food winding device that is devised so that the work of wrapping the dough food around the core of the roll can be done automatically by the function of an attached knife. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, numeral 1 denotes a molding machine that can mold the macerated food material fed from a hopper 2 into a predetermined shape using a mold (not shown) recessed in a molding drum 3. The food product molded by the molding machine 1 is conveyed out of the molding machine 1 by a belt conveyor 4. 5 is the above molding machine 1
It is an automatic winding machine that is constructed separately from the belt conveyor 4, and when in use, it is placed along the side of the belt conveyor 4 as shown in the figure. The automatic winding machine 5 has a detector 6, such as a phototube switch, which can be switched on and engages a clutch on the motor side, which will be described later, when it detects a molded food being conveyed on the belt conveyor 4, and a detector 6, such as a photocell switch, which can engage a clutch on the motor side, which will be described later. The knife 7 is provided with an attached knife 7 and a forming blade 8 which are interlocked by a motor.

As shown in FIG. 8, the attached knife 7 is normally placed on the belt surface 4a with one side edge 7a raised slightly upwards and the other side edge 7b lowered with respect to the conveyance direction of the belt conveyor 4.
However, when the detector 6 detects the molded food A, the clutch engages, and the drive section is started, first, as shown in FIG. 9, one side edge 7a is brought into contact with the belt surface. It rotates downward so as to come into contact with 4a and receives the molded food A that is being conveyed. Next, the attached knife 7 rotates in the clockwise direction as shown in FIG. 10, and moves the pivot point upward as indicated by the arrow in the figure to bend the molded food A being conveyed into a substantially L-shape. In this state, by rotating the attached knife 7 and conveying the molded food A by the belt conveyor 4, the entire molded food A is transferred to the roll core B as shown in FIG.
It is bent into a dogleg shape to wrap around the .
Incidentally, the roll core B is manually placed approximately in the center of the shaped food product A being conveyed by the belt conveyor 4. Next, when the attached knife 7 rotates about half a turn (rotated 180 degrees) and wraps the formed food product A around the winding core B in a substantially U-shape as shown in Figure 12, the rotation fulcrum of the attached knife 7 rotates at the same point. The knife is moved downward as shown by the arrow in the figure, and the entire knife is lowered toward the belt surface 4a. Figure 13 shows one side edge 7 of the attached knife 7.
A shows a state in which the winding operation is completed when the belt surface 4a is in contact with the belt surface 4a, and at this time, the entire molded food product A completely wraps around the roll core B. In addition, the entire attached knife 7 is in the same state as before rotation, that is, the eighth
Rotation is stopped in the state shown in the figure.

Further, the above-mentioned forming blades 8 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the rotary frame 9 one by one, and are synchronized with the knife 7 by a rotating shaft 10 that rotates in conjunction with the knife 7. It is designed to rotate half a rotation. One of the upper and lower molding blades 8 is always arranged facing the belt surface 4a, and can receive the molded food A that is automatically wound by the attached knife 7 and conveyed by the belt conveyor 4. . The molded food A received by the molding blades 8 is transferred to the belt surface 4a by the conveying action of the belt conveyor 4.
The product is rotated on the top and is formed into a substantially round bar-shaped rolled food product C with the roll core B wrapped around the center as shown in FIG. This forming by the blade 8 continues until the automatic winding operation of the attached knife 7, which is continued.
When the rollers start rotating as described above, they rotate in conjunction with each other to allow the belt conveyor 4 to transport the rolled food C. The rolled food C conveyed by the belt conveyor 4 may be directly dropped into an oil tank (not shown) placed below the tip of the conveyor for frying, or may be temporarily stored in a separate container.
