Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deep-fried dough feeding device and a deep-fried dough feeding method capable of automatically feeding a large amount of deep-fried dough to a deep-frying production device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional frying machine is a model box in which a long and narrow box, which is wide in the frying width, is divided into a size for one frying, and is connected to an endless chain, which is wound around a sprocket wheel and rotated. The fried dough is supplied at a position where the fried dough turns upward, and the fried dough is fried while the mold box is turned upside down and dipped in the oil tank to rotate.

[0003] In most cases, the frying dough has been conventionally supplied manually by hand. However, the production capacity of the frying equipment is 3000 to 1 hour.
It is 5000 sheets, and the work of supplying the frying dough together with this is a heavy work that is considerably burdened under a bad environment filled with high temperature and fume of oil.

For this reason, a device for mechanically supplying the frying dough has been proposed. For example, a device for supplying the frying dough in which a suction cup is attached to the tip of an arm opened at equal intervals and cut is proposed. In addition, it is proposed that the deep-fried dough is stacked side by side and is supplied in order from the bottom.

[0005]

However, the former method of using the arm and the suction cup is large in size and expensive, and the latter method of stacking the fried dough sideways is 5 times the thickness of the fried dough itself. There is a variation of up to 8 mm, which has the drawback of damaging the deep-fried dough on the dough when the thin dough is thrown off.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have first provided a frying dough which is placed upright and arranged side by side, and which conveys the frying dough intermittently at least by the thickness of the frying dough in a slippable state, and a suction plate. From an adsorption device that is provided so as to be movable back and forth facing the transport end of the transport conveyor, adsorbs the frying dough at the forward position, then retracts and drops the frying dough at the retracted position, and drops the frying dough between the transport conveyor. We proposed a deep-fried dough feeding device (Japanese Patent Application No. 4-177488).

However, in the above-mentioned proposal, the frying dough adsorbing device adsorbs the frying dough at the forward position and then moves backward to drop the frying dough at the retracted position and drop the frying dough with the transport conveyor. Therefore, since the deep-fried dough drops from a high position in a vertical direction, there is a problem that the deep-fried dough cannot be properly inserted into the mold box of the deep-frying machine.

Further, since the fried dough is wet, it is easy for the fried dough to stick to each other. In the fried dough supply device, when the fried dough that is conveyed by the conveyor and is lined up at the head is adsorbed by the adsorbing device and moves backward. In many cases, the second deep-fried dough that is adjacent to the top does not stick and separate. Therefore, since two frying doughs are supplied to one mold box of the frying machine, there is a disadvantage that defective products are generated.

Further, when the deep-fried dough is placed upright and placed side by side, and the deep-fried dough is intermittently conveyed by at least the thickness of the deep-fried dough in a slippable state, the deep-fried dough pushed from the back due to excessive conveyance and the first adsorption device The compressive force accumulates between the frying doughs that come into contact with the dough, and finally the arranged frying doughs meander, or when the leading frying dough is sucked up by the adsorption device, the back frying doughs fly forward from the conveyor. Sometimes.

The present invention was invented in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the above-mentioned fried dough feeding apparatus, in which the fried dough conveyed by the fried-carrying conveyor is stored in the frying machine's mold box. In addition, it is equipped with a device for dropping the deep-fried dough that can be continuously and accurately supplied, and only the deep-fried dough that is lined up at the top of the deep-fried dough that has been conveyed side by side on the deep-fried conveyer conveyor is absorbed by the adsorption device. Aiming to provide a fried dough feeding device equipped with a fried dough holding device of a fried dough feeding device that can be continuously and accurately fed into a frying machine's mold box. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for supplying the frying dough without the meandering or the frying dough jumping forward from the conveyor.

[0011]

A frying dough supply device of the present invention is a conveyor which is installed on a frying machine and stands up and places the frying dough upright and intermittently conveys the frying dough by at least the thickness of the frying dough. A conveyor, a frying dough dropping device that is attached to face the carrying end of the carrying conveyor, and a frying dough holding device that is installed above the carrying end of the carrying conveyor, wherein the frying dough dropping device is the carrying device. An underframe mounted so as to be movable back and forth in the conveyor direction, a rollover frame pivotally supported by the underframe so as to be able to roll laterally in the transport conveyor direction, and the rollover frame attached to the rollover frame and the underframe is in the forward position. Adsorbing device for adsorbing the frying dough arranged on the conveyor in a standing state, and dropping the adsorbed frying dough in the state in which the rollover frame rolls over at the retracted position of the underframe. The frying dough pressing device comprises an elevating frame that moves up and down above the transfer conveyor, a support block that is fixed to the elevating frame by forming an insertion hole that penetrates vertically, and the insertion of the support block. The gist of the present invention is that it consists of a presser bar that is loosely fitted in the hole, has a locking piece fixed to the upper part, and hangs down on the second deep-fried dough that is conveyed by the conveyor.

Further, according to the method of supplying the deep-fried dough of the present invention, the deep-fried dough is erected and placed side by side on a conveying conveyor installed on the deep-frying machine to intermittently convey the deep-fried dough by at least the thickness of the deep-fried dough. Thereby, the step of bringing the frying dough arranged in front to the adsorption device of the frying dough dropping device, which is attached so as to face the carrying end of the carrying conveyor, is attached above the carrying end of the carrying conveyor. A step of pressing the second deep-fried dough that is conveyed by the conveyor by the pressing rod of the deep-fried dough pressing device,
The adsorption device adsorbs the deep-fried dough arranged at the head of the transfer conveyor, retracts the dropping device to supply the deep-fried dough, and reverses the transfer conveyor to reverse the second transfer frying device to hold the second deep-fried food. The point is to make a gap between the dough and the third deep-fried dough.

[0013]

The elevating frame 68 is installed above the carrying conveyor so that the presser bar 72 hanging from the supporting block 70 hangs on the second deep-fried dough 54b carried by the carrying conveyor 10. . Since the elevating frame 68 is initially in the raised position, the pressing rod 72 loosely fitted in the insertion hole 78 of the support block 70 is in a state of being suspended by the support block 70 by being locked by the upper locking piece 82.

The fried dough 54 is placed upright on the conveyor 10 side by side. As shown in FIG. 1, since the underframe 56 is initially in the forward position and the overturning frame 30 is standing upright,
The suction device 22 is at the forward position, and the suction plate 40 projects to above the transport end of the transport conveyor 10. When the transport conveyor 10 intermittently conveys the deep-fried dough by at least the thickness of the deep-fried dough, the deep-fried dough 54a arranged at the top comes into contact with the suction plate 40 of the suction device 22 at the forward position.

At that time, since the fried dough is usually conveyed by several mm more than the average thickness of the fried dough, even if the thickness of the fried dough is large or there is a gap when the fried dough is placed, The frying dough at the top surely contacts the suction cup. In addition, since the frying dough at the top that is in contact with the suction cup causes a slip between the frying dough and the conveyor, the frying dough is supplied to the suction device without a gap.

Subsequently, when the elevating frame 68 is lowered, the presser bar 72 suspended by the support block 70 descends together with the elevating frame 68, and the second deep-fried dough 5 from the top.
Since it comes into contact with 4b, the fried dough 54b is pressed by the weight of the pressing rod 72 itself.

When the frying dough 54b that is the second from the top is pressed by the pressing rod 72, this time the conveyer conveyor 10
Reverse. Due to the reverse rotation of the conveyor 10, the second deep-fried dough 54b from the top is pressed by the pressing rod 72, so it stops at that position, but the deep-fried dough after the third deep-fried dough 54c from the top moves backward and from the top. A gap is created between the second fried dough 54b and the third fried dough 54c. Further, since the compressive force accumulated between the first deep-fried dough 54a and the rear deep-fried dough is eliminated,
Fried dough does not meander or do not fly forward from the conveyor.

Fried dough 54 lined up at the top by the adsorption device
When “a” is adsorbed, the adsorption device 22 retracts together with the underframe 56, but since the second deep-fried dough 54b from the top is pressed by the pressing rod 72, the first deep-fried dough 5
Only 4a is fed to the fryer box 12 of the fryer.

When the frying dough 54a is adsorbed by the adsorbing device 22, the underframe 56 is retracted and the overturning frame 30 is overturned, as shown in FIG. Further, when the elevating frame 68 is raised, the pressing rod 72 loosely fitted to the support block 70 is suspended by the locking pieces 82 and rises, and the pressing rod 72 separates from the frying dough 54 and returns to the initial state. When the overturning frame 30 rolls over, the frying dough 54a adsorbed by the adsorbing device 22 also rolls over and is positioned directly above the mold box 12 of the frying machine. When the fried dough 54a is dropped from the adsorption device 22 in this state, the fried dough 54a is accurately inserted into the mold box 12, and the fried dough does not protrude or tilt from the mold box. The frying dough feeding device is connected in several rows horizontally according to the number of frames of the mold box of the frying manufacturing device.

The elevating frame 68 is linked by a connecting rod 88 to one end of an L-shaped elevating lever 86 pivotally mounted on a stand 84 standing adjacent to the pole 66. The lifting cylinder 90 is attached to the other end of the lifting lever 86.
Is attached, and the lifting frame 68 is lifted and lowered by the operation of the lifting cylinder 90.

The operation of the apparatus of this embodiment having the above-described structure will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the deep-fried dough 54 is stood up and arranged between the guide bars 20 on the conveyor 10. At first, the underframe 56 is at the forward position and the overturning frame 30 is standing upright, so that the suction device 22 is at the forward position and the suction plate 40 is projected to above the transport end of the transport conveyor 10. The three-way valve 52 of 46 is in a neutral state and air is not sucked.

The lifting cylinder 90 is also equipped with a lifting lever 86.
Since the lifting frame 68 is raised, the lifting bar 68 is raised, and the pressing rod support block 70 fixed to the lifting frame 68 is
The pressing rod 72 loosely fitted in is locked by the locking piece 82 and is suspended from the pressing rod support block 70.

When the die box 12 of the frying machine moves to a predetermined position, the conveyor 10 is driven by the driving motor 14 to intermittently move the frying dough 54 by at least the thickness of the frying dough 54.
Since the fried dough 5 is conveyed, the frying doughs 5 arranged at the top are placed on the suction plate 40 of the suction device 22 which is located at the forward position facing the conveyance end.
4a abuts.

At this time, since the fried dough 54 is normally conveyed by several mm more than the average thickness of the fried dough 54, there is a difference in the thickness of the fried dough 54 or a gap is formed when the fried dough 54 is placed. Even if there is, the top frying dough 54a surely abuts on the frying suction board 40. Since the fried dough 54 slips with the transport conveyor 10, the fried dough 54
Is supplied to the adsorption device 22 without forming a gap.

When the leading frying dough 54a comes into contact with the suction plate 40, the lifting cylinder 90 is subsequently operated to rotate the lifting lever 86, and the lifting frame 68 linked by the connecting rod 88 is lowered. Since the pressing rod 72 is loosely fitted and hung down on the pressing rod support block 70 fixed to the elevating frame 68, when the elevating frame 68 descends, the disc 80 at the lower end of the pressing rod 72 is the second oil lift from the top. The dough 54b is brought into contact with the dough 54b and the weight of the presser bar 72 itself causes the deep-fried dough 54b.
