Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides continuous or intermittently continuous or intermittent feeding of line-drawing materials such as confectionery dough, chiyocollate, etc., continuously or intermittently to the line-drawing material above the position where the line-drawing material passes. A holder that performs line drawing movements such as reciprocating and rotational movement is installed, and a relatively small line drawing material container with a discharge port at the bottom and containing tyokolate, molasses, etc. is installed in the holder. The present invention relates to a line drawing device for mated confectionery products.

In order to create line-drawing patterns on confectionery dough, chiyocolate, etc. with chiyocolate, sugar syrup, etc., the decoration materials such as chiyocolate, sugar syrup, etc. were circulated and transported using pumps, so there was a lot of detritus loss in the supply pipe, and the decoration was difficult. When changing yarn materials, it takes a lot of time to clean pumps, supply pipes, etc., and it is not possible to decorate different materials at the same time. Moreover, this method is unsuitable for producing a wide variety of products.

The present invention was developed in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks; it requires only a small amount of decoration material as there is almost no loss of detritus, it is possible to change the decoration material and use it simultaneously, and the device itself is simplified. We will try to provide what was given to us.

That is, the confectionery product line drawing device of the present invention
A feeding means for intermittently or continuously conveying the food to be line-drawn, such as confectionery dough or chiyocollate, and an upper end swingably supported by a support section provided above the conveyance path of the feeding means. A post, a support that extends horizontally at the bottom of the support and is attached to the support in a removable manner at multiple points, and the interior is filled with decoration material and the bottom end of the support is removably fitted. The present invention is characterized by comprising a plurality of containers each having one nozzle for discharging the same material, and a link and cam mechanism for swinging the support column.

An example of implementing the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a line drawing material such as confectionery dough, chiyocollate, etc. 2
A drawing material supply device such as a belt conveyor that regularly sends out drawing materials continuously or intermittently moves in the direction of the arrow.

When the drawing material 2 transported by the drawing material supplying device reaches a predetermined position, the drawing material supplying device 1 is stopped due to the phototube (not shown), and at the same time, the drawing material supplying device 1 is stopped by reciprocating movement and overwinding. A moving line drawing device operates to apply various patterns on the drawing material 2 using the decoration material 3.

The container 4 in which the decoration material 3 such as Chiyocolate or molasses to which this pattern is applied is filled and stored has a protruding edge 4a protruding from the outer periphery of the body 4b for fitting and fixing into the receiver 5. A screen 6 is built into the lower part of the part 4b, and a lid 7 is attached to the upper surface of the opening, and a nozzle 8 is screwed as a discharge port to the lower end of the tapered conical part 4c which is continuous to the lower part of the body part 4b. ing. The lid body 7 has a structure that maintains airtightness, and is connected to a hose 9 for communication with pneumatic equipment (not shown).

A receiver 5 for fitting and fixing the container 4 therein is connected to the lower end of a support column 10 that rotates by a cam mechanism or the like.

The support column 10, which is rotated by a cam mechanism or the like, is connected to a bracket 12 via a universal joint 11 at the upper end.
and is connected to the upper end of a cam lever 14 by a rod 13.

The cam lever 14 of the cam mechanism is rotatably supported at the lower end, and a cam follower 16 that comes into contact with the cam 15 is attached at an intermediate position, so that the cam lever 14 swings as the eccentric cam 15 rotates. Then, the line drawing movement of the support 5 is performed.

When a certain line drawing movement is completed, the cam motor is stopped by a timer or a limit switch, and the discharge of the decoration material 3 is also stopped.

In the case of a relatively simple continuous pattern, it is also possible to adopt a method of collecting the decoration material 3 without stopping the cam motor and discharging the decoration material 3.

The shape of the receiver 5 is determined in relation to the shape of the container 4, so it may have the outer shape of the container 4, and there may be a plurality of receivers. Further, the relatively small drawing material container according to the present invention requires the following conditions.

(1) It is tapered or formed downward so that the decoration material 3 such as liquid thiokolate or molasses liquid can easily flow to the discharge port.

(2) A nozzle is attached to the tapered lower end as a discharge port, or a discharge port is formed integrally with the container.

(3) The weight and size should be large enough to allow for line drawing exercises. In relation to the moving support for line drawing, the capacity is naturally limited to 1000 c.c. or less.

(4) The container itself may be a cartridge type;
Further, the shape is not particularly limited, and may be an inverted conical shape.

As described above, in the confectionery product line drawing device according to the present invention, a receiver is attached to the lower part of the column whose upper end is swingably supported, and a plurality of containers for dispensing decoration materials are fitted into the receiver. Since the above-mentioned pillar is swung by the link and cam mechanism to perform the linear motion, the container can be supported and the container can be moved in the linear motion with a relatively simple structure. Furthermore, since a plurality of containers are removably fitted and attached to the receiver, the type of decoration material can be changed depending on the container. moreover,
Since the container can be removed and replaced easily, it is possible to decorate a wide variety of products in small quantities.
Cleaning and maintenance inspection are also easier.
