Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention provides a fishball extrusion molding device for continuously forming a disc-shaped handmade fishball product having a depression in the center from fish paste raw materials such as sardines and mackerel. Regarding.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, an apparatus for continuously manufacturing fishball products has been disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-203163, which was provided by the applicant of the present patent and has become publicly known.

In addition, as a device for forming spherical dough products,
33-10591 is publicly known.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Fish balls, which are one of the fish paste products, come in various shapes, but among them, the disk-shaped ones with a dent in the center and a rounded shape have a handmade look. Because of its shape and ability to cook well, it is often used in pot dishes and is the most marketable.

However, because of its special shape, it could not be mass-produced continuously by machine, and its production had to rely on manual labor, which was not only inefficient but also unhygienic.

In the former technique, the cut end of the raw material extruded from the gear pump is flat or inverted spherical, so even if the concavity-forming member is pressed and cut, it is possible to create ideal handmade fishballs that are rounded overall. Molding was not possible (see Figure 1). Also, the latter is suitable for making almost perfectly round spherical fishballs,
There was a problem that it was difficult to make circular fishballs with a hollow in the middle.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a fishball extrusion device that continuously forms disc-shaped handmade fishballs having a rounded center and a concave center.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the fishball extrusion molding device of the present invention receives the raw material for the fish paste from the hopper and sends out a fixed amount of the raw material for the fish paste each time the gear is rotated. A gear pump is provided at the raw material outlet of the gear pump, and consists of a hollow cylinder with a diameter smaller than the pipe diameter of the outlet, and a plurality of attachment pieces arranged radially around the outside of the hollow cylinder and fixing the hollow cylinder to the inside of the outlet pipe. An adjusting member is provided inside, and a forming member is provided to form a spherical concavity on the lower surface of the raw material for the paste extruded from the raw material outlet, and the raw material for the confection extruded and formed with the concavity is cut at the rim of the raw material outlet. The invention is characterized in that it is equipped with a drive mechanism that repeats intermittent extrusion of the raw material for the paste by the gear, pressing of the forming member, and cutting by the cutting blade.

(Function) In the above-mentioned molding device, when the raw material for the paste product is put into the hopper and the drive mechanism is activated, the gear rotates and a fixed amount of the raw material for the paste product is intermittently pushed out to the outlet.

Since an adjustment member having the above-mentioned structure is installed inside the outlet pipe, the passage resistance at the periphery is larger than that at the center, and the lower surface of the raw material for the paste product to be extruded has a shape in which the center part is swollen. Become. When the extrusion of the raw material stops, the forming member advances and presses the raised lower surface of the raw material to create a depression. As a result, the basic shape of a disk-shaped fishball with a rounded center and a concave center is formed, and the cutting blade then advances to cut the top surface of the raw material to complete the forming (see Figure 2). Thereafter, this process can be repeated to continuously produce fishballs having this shape.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 3 to 7.

In FIG. 3, a hopper 1 for supplying the raw material for a paste product has a spiral 2 suspended in the center, and supplies the raw material for the paste product introduced from the upper part of the opening to the gear pump 3 below.

The gear pump 3 is connected below the hopper 1, and gears 5, 5 are supported by shafts 6, 6, which mesh with each other in the casing 4 and rotate inward to deliver a fixed amount of raw material for the paste product. An outlet pipe 7 is connected to the lower outlet side of the casing 4.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an adjustment member disposed inside the outlet pipe, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a hollow cylinder with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the outlet pipe 7 and three mounting pieces 9 that also serve as partitions are arranged radially on the outside of the hollow cylinder. The cylinder is fixed to the inside of the outlet pipe via this mounting piece 9. The raw material for the paste product exiting the outlet pipe passes through the center part smoothly without much resistance, but the peripheral part receives resistance from the cylinder and mounting members and passes slowly, so the amount of the paste product pushed out is smaller than the central part. As a result, the center part is pushed out in a swollen state.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a raw material adjustment screw, which is screwed into the outlet pipe 7 as required as shown in FIG. 4, and the discharge amount is adjusted by moving it forward and backward.

A is a fishball molding machine which molds the fish paste raw material, which is extruded from the outlet pipe 7 and has a raised center, into a predetermined shape. That is, a forming member 12 presses the central bulge of the dough material extruded from the outlet pipe 7 to form a spherical concavity, and a sixth member 12 presses the central bulge of the dough material extruded from the outlet pipe 7 to form a spherical concavity. A jagged chevron-shaped cross section as shown in the figure, or a seventh
A cutting blade 13 that cuts into a semicircle as shown in the figure;
The forming member 12 and the cutting blade 13 are composed of levers 14 and 15 that operate in synchronization with extrusion of the raw material for the paste.

A water supply hole 16 is bored in the center of the forming member 12, as shown in FIG.
Moisture is supplied to the pressing surface of the forming member 12 so that the raw material for the paste product does not adhere to the pressing surface and is easily peeled off.

The drive mechanism C that intermittently drives the gears 5, 5 of the gear pump 3 includes an intermediate shaft 24, to which rotation is transmitted by a chain 23 from a motor 22 mounted on a machine stand 50, and one gear, as shown in FIG. Axis 6 of 5

It consists of a rod 29 connected to a piece 31 whose one end is fitted into a long slide hole of the crank 28, and a feed screw 32 for moving the piece 31. 28, the one-way clutch 30 converts the rotation to intermittent rotation, causing the gears 5, 5 of the gear pump 3 to rotate intermittently. Due to this intermittent rotation, quantitative extrusion of the raw material for the paste product is accurately repeated at regular intervals. Further, the amount of extrusion is adjusted by changing the stroke of the crank 28 using the feed screw 32 of the piece 31 to adjust the rotation range of the gears 5, 5.

The operating mechanism B of the forming member 12 includes a rotation transmission chain 34 stretched between the sprocket 41 of the intermediate shaft 24 and the sprocket 42 of the camshaft 33 placed in the middle of the machine base 50, and the camshaft 33. A cam 35 is attached to the lower part of the machine base 50, and a swing lever 44 is supported by the cam 35 via a rotor 43 so that it can swing freely. One end is connected to the lever 44 and the other end is connected to the link 45. The rotation of the intermediate shaft 24 is transmitted to the sprocket 41, the chain 34, the sprocket 42, the cam shaft 33, and the cam 35. The trochanter 43 is pushed to swing the lever 44, and then the lever 44 is moved to the rod 4.
By pulling lever 6 (leftward in Figure 3), lever 1
The lever 14 swings counterclockwise around the shaft 47 of the lever 14, pushing up the forming member 12 at the tip of the lever 14 downward of the outlet pipe 7. When the cam 35 further rotates, the lever 44, the rod 46, the lever 14 returns to the state shown in Figure 3.

The operating mechanism D of the cutting blade 13 includes a gear 37 that transmits rotation to the camshaft 36 that meshes with a pinion 38 attached to the camshaft 33, a cam 39 attached to the camshaft 36, and a cam 39 that can freely swing to the lower stage of the machine base 50. A lever 4 is pivoted by a cam 39 and swings by a cam 39 via a rotor 40.
