13 is a movable plate for molding, and 14 is a fixed plate. The movable plate 13 is the hinge 1
3a to be rotatably attached to the chassis 20, and the fixing plate 14 is fixed to the chassis 20 by a fixing metal fitting 14a. This chassis 20
A metering and cutting device B and a kneading device A are also fixed to the. 16 is a cam driven by the press motor 15 that connects the movable plate 13 to the fixed plate 1.
Press against or separate from 4. Movable plate 13
The fixed plates 14 each have built-in plate heaters 17 and 18 for drying, and their surfaces are coated to improve slippage. 19 is a molding plate (13, 1
4) The second detector provided below, 21 is a unit case that accommodates these. 13-21 above
A molding and drying device C is constructed by the following.

22 is a baking motor that drives a pair of rollers 23. A wire mesh belt 24 is installed on the pair of rollers 23 and moves as the rollers rotate. Upper and lower heaters 25 for baking are installed above and below the wire mesh belt 24.
A lower heater 26 is provided. 27 is a heat reflecting plate of the upper heater 25, 28 is a heat reflecting plate of the lower heater 26, and 29 is a waste tray provided below the wire mesh belt 24. 30 is a support frame which includes a roller shaft 31, an upper heater 25, a lower heater 26, a heat reflecting plate 27,
I support 28. A chassis 33 fixes the firing motor 22, the support frame 30, and the sliding plate 32. 34 is a heat shield plate provided above the heat reflecting plate 27, and 35 is a unit case that accommodates these. The above 22 to 35 constitute a baking device D.

Next, its effect will be explained. When powdered food materials and seasonings are put into the kneading container 5, water is poured into the water tray 6a, and the kneading motor 1 is driven, the kneading blades 3 are rotated in the direction of the arrow a. The kneading blade 3 has an inclined part 3a and an upright part 3b, the powder at the bottom of the container 5 is pushed up by 3a, and the powder at the side part is pushed up by 3a.
b to the center of the container. The powder in the container is mixed with the water falling from the water tray 6a and is
After ~2 minutes, it becomes a clay-like food paste,
Further kneading is performed for about 5 minutes. Guide rod 4
causes the food paste pushed up on the mixer 3 to fall downward. When the kneading is completed, the kneading motor 1 is reversely rotated to feed out the food paste. When the kneading motor 1 is reversed in the direction of arrow b, the partition plate 7 that had closed the bottom opening 5a of the container 5 during kneading opens the opening 5a and communicates with the extrusion port 8, and the food paste is metered out from the extrusion port 8. Fall into the cutting device. The above is the operation of the kneading device A.

The food paste falling from the extrusion port 8 is detected by the first detector 11. When the first detector 11 detects the detection amount set by the detection amount switching lever 12, it sends a signal to the clutch 10. The clutch 10 utilizes the rotation of the kneading motor 1 and stops after one rotation. Since the cutter 9 is attached to the clutch 10,
By rotating, the cutter 9 cuts the food paste. The detection amount of the first detector 11 is set by moving the detection amount switching lever 12 to move the position of the first detector 11. The above is the operation of the weighing and cutting device B.

The food paste cut by the cutter 9 descends under its own weight, slides on the movable plate 13, and comes into contact with the fixed plate 14 at an intermediate portion thereof. The press motor 15 starts operating several seconds after the first detector 11 generates the signal and rotates the cam 16. As the cam 16 rotates, the movable plate 13 presses the food paste against the fixed plate 14 and forms it into a disk-like shape 3.
Shape into 6 pieces. Note that the thickness of the disk can be adjusted by moving the position of the fixed plate 14 in parallel. The disk-shaped food paste tries to adhere to both the molding plates 13 and 14, but the temperature of the movable plate 13 is kept at the fixed plate 1.
If the temperature is higher than 4, it will adhere to the movable plate 13. The disk-shaped food paste sandwiched between the forming plates 13 and 14 is connected to plate heaters 17 and 1.
8 for 20 to 40 seconds, water is released and the food product becomes a disc-shaped food product, which loses its adhesive strength with the movable plate 13 and slides on the movable plate 13 due to its own weight, filling the gap at the bottom. It passes through and falls onto the wire mesh belt 24 of the baking device D. When the second detector 19 detects this, it sends a completion signal of the forming and drying process to the baking device D. The above is the function of the forming drying device C.

Wire mesh belt 2 that moves by rotation of roller 23
The food molded article 4 is baked on both sides by an upper heater 25 and a lower heater 26. The baked food product is discharged onto the sliding plate 32. The density of baking is adjusted by the temperature of the heaters 25 and 26 and the speed of the roller 23. The heat reflecting plates 27, 28 and the heat shield plate 34 effectively work to improve thermal efficiency. The above is the operation of the baking device D.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the food processing and cooking apparatus of the present invention automatically and continuously cooks powdered food materials into edible foods. And A, B,
The devices C and D are rationally arranged from top to bottom in the order of kneading, measuring, cutting, shaping, drying, and baking, which make up the cooking process, and food is moved using its own weight. . There has never been a device that can cook food directly from raw materials in this way, and it is being used as a new food processing and cooking device that improves cooking efficiency in general households and cafeterias. It is extremely effective for export to Mexico and other Central and South American countries.
