Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a turntable-type automatic gyoza forming apparatus.

(Prior Art) As the standard of living improves, not only staple foods or side dishes in the diet, but also tastes are changing to foods that are beautiful to look at and delicious to eat.

Under such circumstances, the demand for gyoza, which is a side dish, increased year by year, and handmade products could not meet the demand, so they had to switch to machine-made products. There was a need for a gyoza product with a texture.

Therefore, various machines and devices have been developed to give a handmade feel without increasing costs.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Products developed in this way are
-132851, Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-30645, Utility Application No. 1987-41253, etc., and although some of them have partially achieved some of their objectives, they have drawbacks as described below.

When the outer shell is placed on the upper surface of the mold to wrap the contents, the outer shell moves and the contents are not centered, and the ends of the outer shell are not aligned after molding, resulting in defective products and poor product yield. For this reason, to improve the yield,
A person must manually place the outer skin on the mold and push it into the mold each time so that it fits the mold.

Furthermore, when the mold is fixed to a turntable, it takes time and trouble to replace the mold when the pleat forming part of the mold becomes worn out and becomes unwell, or when the pleats need to be shaped into a different shape, which reduces productivity.

Due to these drawbacks, it cannot be said that the cost aspect has been sufficiently solved, and it has been very inconvenient in the production of dumplings.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention solves these inconveniences, improves the yield of the product, and produces gyoza products of high quality and always constant at a low cost that are as good as those made by hand in terms of product quality. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic gyoza forming device that is capable of forming dumplings.

That is, the contents are fed into the hole of the slide plate with a screw, the slide plate is moved at regular intervals by the swinging movement of the swing rod, and the contents are pumped with compressed air through the drop hole of the extrusion box body into the index plate and the index gear intermittently. A gyoza manufacturing device that can feed gyoza to a lower rotary plate that rotates intermittently at regular intervals through meshing motion, has a pedestal that can be attached to and detached from the rotary plate, and a holder that has three sides with arbitrarily curved surfaces that correspond to the external shape of the gyoza. A mold, an inverted press mold having a curved part forming the abdomen of the dumpling on one side and swingably installed at one end of the receiving mold, and a receiving mold having a recessed part of an arbitrarily curved surface forming the outer shape of the dumpling on the inner surface, the recessed part being the curved part. A mold consisting of a stand body that is swingably mounted on a pedestal to accommodate a curved surface is provided with a plurality of inverted molds at equal intervals on the outside on a rotary plate, and a curved shape having an arbitrary depth and a curved surface is formed on the upper surface of the concave part. A notched recess is installed in the base body, and a plurality of protrusions for pleat formation made of a semi-rigid elastic material such as silicone rubber are provided on the upper surface, and a curved pleat mold is inserted into the notched recess in a detachable manner. , a depression formed by providing protrusions corresponding to the folds of the dumplings in a diagonal direction orthogonal to the curved surface of the arbitrarily curved convex portion forming the back surface of the dumplings is fixed to the cover body by an arm and connected to a swing shaft supported by a coil spring. A preforming device is provided in which a swing shaft and a restraining die are movable up and down by the rotation of a second cam, and a protrusion is provided on one of the molds of the extrusion device, and a protruding portion of an annular arbitrary curve is provided at one location. The protruding parts of the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail are placed on the rotary plate so that the protruding parts of the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail are placed on the side of the other mold of the extrusion device so that the stand body can stand up the best. A rod is installed on the outer periphery of the rotary plate so that the upright position of the inversion mold is the highest in correspondence with the main body of the table, and an arc-shaped upper guide rod is installed in correspondence with the lower guide rod so that it is in a downward state from the highest position. During one rotation of the plate, it is possible to place the outer shell, pre-form the outer shell, fill it with contents, form it, and take it out.

(Function) The contents in the container are sent to the hole, and by the operation of the drive device, the contents are moved by the rocking rod which is rocked at regular intervals by the rotation of the rotating disk, until it matches the drop hole, and the compression device is activated by the first cam. It is sent downward using compressed air sent by.

At this time, the driving device operates by transmitting an intermittent rotation of several equal parts from the indexing plate to the rotary plate through the indexing gear, and placing the outer skin on the stopped mold.

When it rotates and stops, the support of the second cam is lost, and the swing shaft is lowered by the tension of the coil spring, and the outer skin is pressed into the mold by the restraining mold, and the molded outer skin is pushed by the second cam and raised. .

When it rotates again and stops below the extrusion device, the contents fall and fill from above onto the molded outer shell and begin to rotate. During this rotation, the base body is inverted at the protrusion, and the mold is raised by the lower guide rod to complete the molding and stop.

Furthermore, during the turning, the main body of the stand is inverted at the protruding portion, and the mold is brought down to its original state by the upper guide rod, allowing the molded product to be taken out.

In this way, the process from placing the outer skin to preforming and molding the outer skin to removing the molded product is carried out continuously and smoothly during one revolution of the rotary plate.

76 is a flexible pipe, which connects the compression device 14
and the drop hole 46 are connected.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When rotating the rotary plate 28 before starting work, the drop hole 4
6 so that the mold 29 stops once below,
Further, in FIG. 3, the lower mold 29a corresponds to the preforming device 58, and the upper mold 29b is adjusted so that the rollers 36 are in the highest state.

After adjusting in this way, the drive device 56 is operated to rotate the screw shaft 57 to put the contents into the container 53 and stir, and then the drive device 3 is operated. It is transmitted through the first gear chain 10 to the second gear chain 7 and rotates the driven shaft 4.

One of the rotations is transmitted from the worm 5 to the second intermediate shaft 19 via the worm wheel 20, and the index gear 24 is divided into several equal parts (in the figure) by the protrusion 21 for one rotation of the index plate 23. When the rotary plate 28 is rotated by one-sixth of the number (1/6), the rotary plate 28 is also rotated by one-sixth (1/6) through the rotating shaft 27, and the mold 29 is placed below the drop hole 46.
At the same time, the mold 29a stops below the holding mold 65, and the mold 29b is pushed up by the lower guide rail 72 and the lower guide rod 74 to enter the molding state.

During one rotation of this index plate 23, the protrusion 21 and the long groove 25
The index gear 24 rotates by a fraction of the number due to the engagement of the index gear 24, but when the protrusion 21 is disengaged from the long groove 25, the recess 26 and the guide tube 22 fit together, causing the guide tube 22 to idle (during this idle rotation). At the beginning, the index gear 24 moves slightly, but
After that, the index gear 24 does not move and is stopped, so that the position of the index gear 24 is adjusted so that the rotating protrusion 21 can easily fit into the next long groove 25.

Furthermore, the other side of the rotation rotates the rotating disk 13 via the bevel gears 6 and 12, and the swinging rod 50 uses the pin 52 as a fulcrum.
At the same time, the compression device 14 is activated by the rotation of the first cam 9, and the hole 48 filled with the contents is moved downward through the connecting rod 49 by the sliding of the slide plate 47. , when the first cam 9 comes out of contact, the compressed air flows into the compression device 1.
4 to the drop hole 46, and hits the matching hole 48, causing the contents in the hole 48 to momentarily drop onto the mold 29, which is temporarily stopped below.

And the other rotation is the second chain gear 7
The second chain 18 passes through the fourth chain gear 16 to the second intermediate shaft 15, rotates the second cam 17, overcomes the coil spring 64, and rotates the swing shaft 60.
When the second cam 17, which was pushing up the coil spring 6, no longer pushes up the rocking shaft 60 due to eccentricity, the coil spring 6
4 pulls the swinging shaft 60 and lowers the holding mold 65 through the arm 68 and the connecting rod 69, and bends the receiving mold 31 by bending the outer skin 77 on the mold 29a, which is temporarily stopped at the lower part, as shown in FIG. The molded outer skin 77a is pressed into the recessed part 38 to form a pleat 78 and is recessed appropriately.
Preform to the state of. Thereafter, the second cam rotates once and pushes up the swinging shaft 60 again to raise the restraining mold 65 from the mold 29a, allowing the mold 29a to move (rotation of the rotary plate 28) for supplying the contents.

When the mold 29c with the outer skin 77 placed thereon is moved a few equal turns and then temporarily stopped, the mold 29a
The preforming device 58 forms the outer skin 77 into a molded outer skin 77a. Then, when it is moved a few equal turns and temporarily stopped, it is located below the drop hole 46 and the contents are supplied onto the molded outer skin 77a. During the further rotation and temporary stop, the roller 36 is guided by the protrusion 73 and the lower guide rod 74 from the lower guide rail 72, which has been horizontal until now, and the lower guide rod 74, and the inverted press mold 34 and the main body 37 are rotated. At the position of the mold 29b which is raised and temporarily stopped, the protrusion 41 is moved to the base body 37 by the receiving mold 31, the reversing press mold 34, and the base body 37.
The dumplings are pressed and bent in the same direction as the regular handmade dumplings. Then, the molded dumplings are taken out while being rotated to the position of the mold 29c.

If the protrusion 41 is reduced or damaged, it can be removed from the notch 39 and replaced with a new one.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention makes it possible to prepare a set of several types of pleat molds according to the shape of the pleats and use them selectively as necessary, thereby reducing the cost of forming molds for gyoza products. Since it is also lightweight, it does not require space and can be easily managed.

If you want to make a product with different pleats, you can easily and easily replace the pleat mold, so the setup time for work can be shortened.

Furthermore, since preforming can be performed automatically and reliably without touching the outer shell placed on the mold, it is possible to efficiently manufacture products of constant quality, thereby preventing the occurrence of defective products and improving yields. This invention has many features such as being economical in that it does not take up a lot of space, and has a wide range of applications, making it an excellent invention for industrial use.
