Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing mixed confectionery and bread,
Specifically, the baked sponge cake is cut along the center line, one of the cut sponge cakes is inverted, and the inverted sponge cake is placed on top of the other sponge cake, for example, to cut the sponge cake between the sponge cakes. This relates to a manufacturing device that continuously manufactures confectionery with a filling such as cream or yam between the two.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a confectionery in which two sponge cakes 1 are combined and a filling 2 such as jam or cream is sandwiched between them has been popular as a mixed confectionery. Currently, this confectionery is manufactured by hand, but it is also mass-produced mechanically.However, in mechanical mass-production equipment, the sponge cake is placed on a conveyor belt and then folded back, and after being folded back, it is placed on a conveyor belt. The superposition is carried out on top of the sponge cake.

However, this manufacturing apparatus has the disadvantage that the structure of the turning point of the belt conveyor is complicated and the equipment is large-scale.

The inventor of the present invention has researched a manufacturing device that has a simple structure and can be filled regardless of the properties of the contents, and found that the pair of moving tracks is run so that they gradually rise from a horizontal state to a vertical state and return to a horizontal state again. , we focused on the fact that it is preferable to align the inner surfaces of the sponge cakes with each other by these two moving tracks, and developed this type of manufacturing device. However, with this device, the sponge cake rises from a horizontal position to a vertical position with each moving track, so it is easy for the sponge cake to fall from the moving track, and the contents to be sandwiched are coated on the surface of one of the sponge cakes. Because the sponge cake is made to rise vertically from horizontally, it has the disadvantage that depending on the contents, it sag and cannot be sandwiched.

The present invention was established based on the above, and specifically, out of the sponge cakes to be superimposed, only one of the sponge cakes is inverted, the other sponge cake is left as it is, and both of these sponge cakes are combined. We propose a manufacturing device that overlaps each other.

That is, the present invention includes at least two upper moving tracks arranged in parallel and running so that each bonito gradually rises from a horizontal state to a vertical state and returns to a horizontal state again, and an upper moving track below these upper moving tracks. A lower moving track running along the upper moving track is provided, and the confectionery dough is configured to be inverted on the upper moving track, and the confectionery dough after the inversion is overlapped with the confectionery dough on the lower moving track. It is characterized by

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

First, FIGS. 2 and 3 are a plan view and a front view of a manufacturing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, and in FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numerals 10a,
Reference numeral 10b indicates a pair of moving tracks, for example, belt conveyors, and these belt conveyors 10a and 10b constitute an upper moving track 10. These belt conveyors 10a, 10b have rolls 11 at both ends,
12 and run continuously and parallelly,
Moreover, it is configured in an endless manner. Each conveyor 10
a, 10b are held horizontally at one end,
As it moves to the leading side, it gradually rises as shown in FIG. 3, reaches a vertical state at approximately the center, and then returns to a horizontal state at the turning point.

Next, each conveyor 1 on the upper moving track 10
4b, c, d, e, f, g, h and
As shown in i and j, one guide member 13b
13j and the other guide members 14b to 14j are provided and configured as follows.

That is, Fig. 4 b, c, d, e, f, g,
h, i and j are line B-B and line C-C in Figure 3.
line, D-D line, E-E line, F-F line, G-G line,
Each cross section taken along line H-H, line I-I, and line J-J is shown. In the upper moving track 10, the pair of conveyors 10a and 10b are kept in a horizontal state;
When the point shown in FIG. 4b is reached, the pair of guide members 13b and 14b are arranged with a slight inclination as a whole, and the conveyors 10a and 10b are guided by the guide members 13b and 14b so that the conveyors 10a and 10b are slightly raised from the horizontal state. It's rising. Subsequently, conveyors 10a, 10
b takes the lead, and as shown in FIG. 4c, the slope of the pair of guide members 13c, 14c widens, and the conveyors 10a, 10b further rise accordingly. Fourth
As shown in Figure d, a pair of guide members 13d and 14d
further rises, but normally the guide members 13d and 14d
, each bent portion 15d, 16d
The guide members 13d and 14d are formed in a curved shape, while the guide members 13d and 14d are inclined above the bent portion, and the lower portion is formed as a vertical portion. That is, when FIG. 4d is reached, each guide member 13d, 14d has an upper inclined part and a bent part 15d, 16, respectively.
d and the lower part, and as described later, a part of one sponge cake 27a stands up vertically, and even if the sponge cake is weak, it can be made to stand up without any problem. As the conveyor progresses further, the vertical part of each guide member becomes larger and the inclined part becomes smaller, and the conveyors 10a, 10b start to rise.
When reaching approximately the center, as shown in FIG. 4e, the pair of guide members 13e and 14e both have only vertical portions, that is, they stand up completely vertically, and the conveyors 10a and 10b are vertical between these guide members 13e and 14e. held in state.

Furthermore, as described above, the pair of conveyors 10a, 1
0b is raised from the horizontal state to the vertical state, and then returned to the horizontal state at the turning point, and the vertically raised sponge cake 27a is transferred to the other conveyor 10b and returned to the horizontal state. .

That is, in FIG. 4f, of the pair of guide members, the other guide member 14f has its upper part inclined, while only one guide member 13f is not curved symmetrically with the other guide member 14f.
It is curved to follow the other guide member 13f. By bending each guide member 13f, 14f in this manner, the raised sponge cake 27a is pushed toward the other conveyor 10b by one guide member 13f, and can be turned over. After reversing, each guide member 13g, 14g, 13h, 14h, 13i,
14i is gradually returned to the horizontal state, and as will be described later, the sponge cake 27a is superimposed on the sponge cake 27b which is being conveyed on the lower moving track in an inverted state.

Next, a lower moving track 30 is provided below the upper moving track 10 configured as described above and along this moving track 10. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this moving track 30 is composed of a single belt conveyor, and the conveyor 30 is arranged corresponding to the other conveyor 10b of the upper moving track 10. Furthermore, a transfer mechanism 31 is provided at the tip of the conveyor 10b in order to invert the sponge cakes 27a on the upper moving track and overlap them. Although this transfer mechanism 31 can be configured in any manner, it is usually configured by arranging rollers 31a,
It is connected to a conveyor 33 via this transfer mechanism 31.

Next, the effects of the apparatus having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained through the manner in which it is used.

First, a confectionery dough, such as a sheet sponge cake, is continuously baked in, for example, a tunnel oven (not shown). In this case, the sponge cake is made by placing a paper sheet on the surface of the baking board, and forming a baked layer only on the surface without forming a baked layer. This sponge cake is transported to conveyor 32 in Figure 2.
a and 32b, and cut along the longitudinal direction approximately at the center of the width (see Fig. 4a). after that,
Among these two sponge cakes 27a and 27b, one sponge cake 27a is conveyed to the conveyor 32.
a, and is placed on one of the conveyors 10a of the upper moving track, and travels. On the other hand, the other sponge cake 27b is transferred to the conveyor 3.
2b to the conveyor 30 of the lower moving track. Therefore, in the upper moving track 10, when the sponge cake 27a reaches the fourth line from the A-A line to the B-B line and the C-C line in FIG.
As shown in Figures b and c, it rises, and at the line D--D, it further rises as shown in Figure 4d. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4d, the guide members 13d,
14d is partially bent and vertical part, bent part 15
Since it consists of d, 16d and an inclined part,
Along one conveyor 10a which deforms correspondingly, the sponge cake 27a is partly vertical, partly curved and partly inclined, while the other sponge cake 27b along with the conveyor 30 on the lower moving track. remains horizontal and moves straight. At this time, if the dough support members 25a, 25b are attached to one side edge of each conveyor 10a, 10b, the vertical part of the sponge cake 27a will be attached to the dough support members 25a, 25b.
5b, it will not fall off the conveyor 10a. In addition, in this state, each conveyor 10a, 10b in the upper moving track 10
As the sponge cake 27a advances, the sponge cake 27a rises one after another, and when it reaches the line EE in FIG. 3, it rises completely vertically as shown in FIG. 4e.
After rising vertically, the sponge cake 27a is pushed by the guide member 13f and moved onto the conveyor 10b as shown in FIG. 4f, and the sponge cake 27a starts to be turned over. In other words, sponge cake 27
The front surface 27a' of a is formed with a hardened surface, whereas the back surface 27a'' is not hardened and is soft, but the hardened surface 27a and the soft surface 27a'' are reversed. After reversal, Figure 4 g, h and i
Through the process, the sponge cake 27a gradually shifts to a horizontal state on the conveyor 10b, and the sponge cake 27a moves to a horizontal state on the conveyor 10b.
After passing the turning point of 0b, the content 28 is on the surface.
is superimposed on the other sponge cake 27b coated with.

In addition, the contents 28 are transported by a conveyor 30 on a lower moving track.
Sponge cake that can be placed horizontally on top 27
It is sufficient if it is applied or placed on the surface of b, and for this reason, as the filling 28, other than a viscous material, a fluid material, a material with poor binding property, etc. can be used.

In addition, in the other sponge cake 27b, the filling 28 is applied and hidden on the baked bare surface 27b', and only the soft surface 27b'' on the back surface is exposed, so that only the soft surface appears in appearance. is obtained.

Further, when configuring the guide member as described above, it is usually preferable to configure it as shown in FIG.

For example, FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the guide member in the state shown in FIG. 4 d, and each guide member 13d, 1
4d is not necessarily configured integrally, and the inclined member 17
d', 18d' and bent/vertical members 17d'', 18d''. That is, each inclined member 17
d', 18d', the frame body 19 is arranged on the base 20, these inclined members 17d', 18d' are configured as rollers, each roller 17d', 18d' is arranged on the arm 21, 22.
The arms 21 and 22 are rotatably supported by the frame 19, and one ends of the arms 21 and 22 are attached to the frame 19 at an angle. Therefore, the rollers serving as the inclined members 17d', 18d' roll when the conveyors 10a, 10b travel, and can travel without any friction.

In addition, as mentioned above, an example was shown in which only the straight portions of the guide member, such as the sloped portions, are constructed as rollers, but when the guide member consists of only straight portions as shown in FIGS. 4b, c, and e, can also be configured entirely as a roller.

Further, when each conveyor 10a, 10b rises from a horizontal state to a vertical state, each conveyor 10a, 10b
One side edge of 10b, that is, the upper edge 23 in the vertical state
The parts a and 23b are most tensed, and the conveyors 10a and 10b often do not rotate smoothly. In this respect, if each conveyor 10a, 10b is arranged so that its vertical rising part at the center and its lower edge 24a are lower than the level of the horizontal parts at both ends, for example, by a predetermined interval l, each conveyor 10a, 10b
(Only conveyor 10a is shown in FIG. 2.) The lower edges of each conveyor 10 are pulled in opposition to the upper edges 23a, 23b of each conveyor 10a.
The tension in the width direction of a and 10b is evenly balanced,
There is no problem in driving.

In addition, each conveyor 1 in the upper moving track 10
Dough supporting members 25a, 25b are attached to 0a, 10b along one side edge thereof, and these fabric supporting members 25a, 25b can be configured integrally with the conveyor or attached separately, but in either case, It can be constructed of any type as long as it can hold the fabric when it protrudes from the surface of each conveyor 10a, 10b and rises up to a vertical position. Further, each conveyor 10 is attached to each dough support member 25a, 25b.
When a and 10b rise to a vertical state, uneven portions 26a and 26b are formed which align with each other. The uneven portions can be formed into any shape as long as they can be aligned with each other, but generally they are formed from a square projection 26a and a matching groove 26b as shown in FIG. 6, or they are formed into a curved shape as shown in FIG. It consists of a protrusion 26a and a groove 26b that fits the protrusion 26a. By configuring the fabric supporting member in this manner, even when the fabrics are stood up and put together, the fabrics are held without shifting on each conveyor, and the matching can be carried out smoothly.
