Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for forming food dough or materials (hereinafter referred to as dough, etc.), and in detail, for example,
The present invention relates to a molding device that expands and molds meat, fish, and other dough into a desired shape when an external force is applied to the dough, which destroys the structure and impairs the flavor.

Recently, some commercially available foods, such as confectionery such as biscuits, cookies, and cakes, and foods such as hamburgers and sausages, are produced by forming dough into a desired shape and then subjecting it to a prescribed heat treatment. Many of them are manufactured by This molding is usually done by pressing soft dough etc. using a cutting die and punching it into the desired shape. However, because a large external force is applied when forming this die, the structure of the dough etc. is destroyed. In addition, moisture in the dough, etc. separates and dissolves, causing the food to lose its flavor and texture after baking.

For example, when manufacturing hamburgers, etc., the dough is made up of meat, oil, fat, vegetables, etc. These doughs contain a large amount of liquid such as oil and water, and the structure of the dough etc. is damaged by external force. decomposes, especially meat shrinks, and the flavor and texture of baked products are lost.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and specifically proposes an apparatus for forming dough, etc., which can mold dough, etc. into a desired shape without applying any external force to the dough, etc.

That is, the present invention is provided with a pair of movable members having a plurality of press mold branches that are engaged with each other, and configured to move these movable members up and down alternately. It is characterized by forming a molded part.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a molding apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an example of a pair of movable members, and FIG. 4A and 4B are a plan view of the molding apparatus shown in FIG. 1 and a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG.

First, in FIG. 1, reference numerals 1a and 1b indicate movable members, and below each of these movable members 1a and 1b, as shown in FIG.
a, 2b are formed, and these press mold support pieces 2a, 2b
are interlocking with each other.

That is, each movable member 1a, 1b has a base 3
a, 3b and press-type support pieces 2a, 2b, and the press-type support pieces 2a, 2b are integrally formed in a sawtooth shape at a predetermined interval from each base 3a, 3b.

In addition, a second
A molded part 5 is formed as shown in the figure, and this molded part 5
The dough, etc. is formed into a desired shape. In this case, the forming part 5 can have any structure as long as the dough etc. is stretched and formed without being pressed.
Usually, it is configured as a recess 6 having a shape that matches the desired molding shape (see Fig. 4 a, b), and the press mold support piece 2
Preferably, the outer peripheries of a and 2b are surrounded by an enclosing plate 10.

Moreover, when providing the enclosing plate 10 in this way,
The surrounding plate 10 is normally attached integrally to the support plate 7, and the base portions 3a, 3b of each movable member 1a, 1b are seated on the support plate 7, and each press-type support piece 2a, 2
The lower part of b passes through the support plate 7, and each movable member 1a,
It is preferable to configure so that the parts 1b move up and down alternately as a unit (see FIG. 1). With this structure, the molded part 5 is formed by the lower end surface of each press mold support piece 2a, 2b and the surrounding plate 10, and especially when the gap between the recessed part 6 and the moving band 11 described later is adjusted, You can control the thickness of fabric etc.

Furthermore, in order to move the pair of movable members 1a, 1b up and down, for example, a guide rod 8 is usually attached upward to the support plate 7, and the base 3 of each movable member 1a, 1b is
Communication holes 9 are formed in a and 3b, and each guide rod 8 is passed through these communication holes 9 so as to reciprocate up and down.

Next, the effects of the molding apparatus having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained through the usage mode as follows.

First, as shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b, a moving band 11 is provided below the pair of movable members 1a and 1b so as to move intermittently in the direction of the arrow, and these movable members 1a and 1b are integrated with the support plate 7. It is configured so that it approaches or separates from the surface of the moving zone 11. Therefore, the fabric etc. 12 is dropped onto the moving band 11 in advance,
In this state, the movable band 11 is driven, and the fabric etc. 12 dropped at equal intervals are transferred to the pair of movable members 1a,
1b, the moving band 11 temporarily stops, and then the pair of movable members 1a, 1b descends and approaches the surface of the moving band 11. That is, the pair of movable members 1a and 1b descend together with the support plate 7, and the surrounding plate 10 surrounds the cloth 12 on the moving band 11. In this state, the pair of movable members 1a and 1b are moved up and down alternately, that is, when one movable member 1a is lowered, the other movable member 1b is held raised as shown in Figure 5a. On the other hand, while the other movable member 1b is being lowered, one movable member 1a is held raised as shown in FIG. 5b. For this reason,
The dough etc. 12 is placed in the molding section 5 by pressing each of the mold support pieces 2a,
Since the dough is alternately flattened and flattened by the cloths 2b and no external force is applied to it, it is only flattened from the top, the texture of the dough 12 and oil and fat are not decomposed.

In addition, since the press support pieces 2a and 2b mesh with each other and move up and down alternately, even if fabric or the like adheres to the lower end surface, the adhered fabric is removed during the up-and-down movement, and leveling can be achieved very easily.

In addition, a molding part 5 is provided at the bottom of each press mold support piece 2a, 2b.
is formed, and the dimensions of this molded part 5 are set in advance in accordance with the moving band 1.
1, and when forming a plate-like material with a thickness corresponding to this distance, no external force is applied to the dough or the like 12.

In summary, in the present invention, a pair of movable members that engage with each other are provided with pressing support pieces, and molding parts are formed in the lower parts of these pressing support pieces. It is formed into a shape. Therefore, almost no external force is applied to the dough, the structure is not destroyed, the texture and taste are maintained, and the dough can be formed.

In addition, although the above example shows an example in which the moving band moves intermittently, this does not necessarily have to be configured as a moving band, and may also be configured as a fixed plate.
