Definitions
- the inventions relate to a method and an apparatus for cutting flattened food dough into an elongated shape (a long shape), such as a continuous and string-like, belt-like, or rod-like shape. Particularly, they relate to a method and an apparatus for cutting the flattened food dough into a continuous and elongated shape, for example by cutting the flattened food dough in a zig-zag manner in a lateral direction.
- Patent Document 1 has a configuration that has a hopper to load a big lump of bread dough, etc., and a cutting apparatus disposed at a rectangular and elongated opening positioned at the bottom of the hopper.
- elongated pieces of food dough having a predetermined length and an approximately constant size cut by the cutting apparatus fall on a transfer conveyer movable with respect to a longitudinal direction of the opening. Then, by laying a distal end of an elongated piece of the food dough that is being cut on a proximal end of the preceding one that is being conveyed on the transfer conveyer, long and continuous food dough is formed.
- the cutting apparatus in the configuration explained in the above paragraph is so-called "a star-shaped cutter.” It has a pair of rotating shafts that have a plurality of plate-like cutting blades and rotate in the opposite direction against one another. Thus, it can continuously cut the big lump of the food dough into the elongated pieces of the food dough, each of which having a constant length and a desired weight.
- the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a configuration that has a star-shaped cutter, which is positioned at an opening of a hopper and cuts food dough descending from within the hopper.
- the star-shaped cutter includes a first blade, which has a cutout part at one lateral end, and a second blade, which has a cutout part at the other lateral end, and wherein the first and the second blade are alternately positioned.
- the conventional invention for forming food dough having an elongated and continuous shape by cutting the food dough by means of the star-shaped cutter when the food dough is cut by the star-shaped cutter, the food dough is stressed not only in the process that it reaches at the star-shaped cutter, but also at the moment when it is cut by the star-shaped cutter.
- JP 2007 189 955 A refers to a method and an apparatus for massively producing a sword-slid noodle.
- the method for producing the sword-slid noodle comprises conveying a flat noodle strip with a conveyer, moving a cutter in a direction approximately vertical to the conveyance direction of the noodle strip and in a direction approximately vertical to the thickness direction of the noodle stripe to cut out a conveyed displaced portion at the conveyance end of the noodle strip with the cutter.
- the present inventions address the aforementioned problems.
- the purpose of the present inventions is to provide a method and an apparatus for forming food dough having a continuous and elongated shape by cutting the flattened food dough, without compressing the whole of the food dough and without adding stress to the food dough.

- the present inventions have the following technical features: the apparatus for cutting the food dough explained in the above paragraphs, further comprising: a transfer conveyer for transferring long-shaped food dough in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the conveyer belt, wherein the long-shaped food dough is cut from the food dough near the end of the conveyer belt and is fallen onto the transfer conveyer due to its weight.
- the present inventions have the following technical features: the apparatus for cutting the food dough explained in the above paragraph, wherein the speed of the cutter in the forward direction corresponds to the speed of the transfer conveyer, and wherein the speed of the cutter in the backward direction is faster than that in the forward direction.
- the present inventions have the following technical features: the apparatus for cutting the food dough explained in the above paragraphs, further comprising: a means for detecting a proximal end of the food dough being conveyed by the conveyer belt, wherein the control device includes a calculating means for adjusting a width of the food dough being cut by the cutter by determining a number of cuttings of the food dough based on the data detected by the means for detecting the proximal end so that the final process for cutting the food dough is completed by moving the cutter in the forward direction.
- the present inventions have the following technical features: the apparatus for cutting the food dough explained in the above paragraphs, further comprising: a means for detecting a turned edge of the long-shaped food dough, which is cut by the cutter.
- the present inventions have the following technical features: the apparatus for cutting the food dough explained in the above paragraph, further comprising: a transfer conveyer for transferring the long-shaped food dough, which is cut from the food dough near the end of the conveyer belt and is fallen onto the transfer conveyer due to its weight.
- the flattened food dough when cut into a continuous and long shape, it can be cut without compressing the whole of the food dough and without adding stress to the food dough.
- Fig.1 is a set of explanatory drawings to conceptually and schematically explain processes for cutting food dough by an apparatus for cutting the food dough, which is a first embodiment of the present inventions.
- drawings [A] ⁇ [F] of Fig. 1 (a) is an explanatory plan view to conceptually and schematically shows a state of the apparatus during a cutting process, and (b) is an explanatory elevational view to conceptually and schematically shows a state of the apparatus during a cutting process.
- the apparatus 1 for cutting the food dough of the first embodiment of the present inventions has a conveyer belt 5 for conveying the food dough 3 in the front-back direction (the direction indicated by an arrow "A" along a Y axis).
- the food dough 3 has a flattened shape, and is directly and horizontally disposed on the conveyer belt 5.
- the apparatus 1 further has photo sensors 9A and 9B, as means for detecting a lateral end of the food dough before the cutter reaches the lateral end, to detect both lateral ends of the food dough 3 when the cutter 7 cut the food dough 3 by moving in the lateral direction.
- the means for detecting the lateral end that is configured so as to revolve the photo sensor in the horizontal plane, only one sensor may be positioned anteriorly in the direction of movement of the cutter 7.
- a transfer belt 11 is disposed under the distal end of the conveyer belt 5.
- the transfer belt 11 carries the food dough 4 that is cut by the cutter 7 and has a long shape (long-shaped food dough), such as a continuous and string-like, belt-like, or rod-like shape, toward the next step to process weighing and cutting it.
- the transfer belt 11 extends in the direction along the lateral direction of the conveyer belt 5, which is perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the conveyer belt 5 (indicated by the arrow "A").
- the transfer belt 11 carries the long-shaped food dough 3A in the direction indicated by an arrow "B.”
- Movements for carrying the food dough by the conveyer belt 5 and the transfer belt 11 are driven by a servomotor (not shown in Fig. 1 ), for example.
- a control device 13 such as a computer.
- the cutter 7 moves in the lateral direction by a driving mechanism (not shown in Fig. 1 ), such as an endless belt that can rotate forward and backward, a ball-screw mechanism, and a fluid pressure actuated cylinder. Further, the cutter 7 moves vertically by an actuator (not shown in Fig. 1 ), such as a fluid pressure actuated cylinder. The movements of the cutter 7 in the vertical and lateral direction are controlled by the control device 13.
- the food dough 3 is disposed on the conveyer belt 5, and the conveyer belt 5 is driven under the control of the control device 13. Then, when the food dough 3 is carried forward in the direction along the Y axis (indicated by the arrow "A"), a means (a photo sensor) 15 for detecting the distal end of the food dough 3, which is disposed at the predetermined position that is located at slightly upstream side of the distal end of the conveyer belt 5, detects the distal end of the food dough 3. When the photo sensor 15 detects the distal end of the food dough 3, the food dough 3 is further carried forward for a predetermined distance corresponding to a cut width W of the food dough to be cut, and then the conveyer belt 5 is stopped.
- the distance to be carried forward is calculated by a calculating means 17 (see Fig. 2 ) included in the control device 13, based on the relationship between the position of the cutter 7 and the position of the photo sensor 15 in the direction of the movement of the food dough 3, and the predetermined cut width W of the food dough to be cut. Then, based on the results of the calculation by the calculating means 17, a rotation of a Y-axis motor 19, which drives the conveyer belt 5, is controlled. When the distal end of the food dough 3 is carried forward for the distance corresponding to the cut width W from the position for cutting the food dough, the Y-axis motor 19 is stopped.
- the cutter 7 which is positioned at the predetermined location in the lateral direction, is lowered to the position for cutting, and then the distal end of the food dough 3 is cut by moving the cutter 7 in the lateral direction. Since the position for cutting the food dough 3 is located near the distal end of the conveyer belt 5, the long-shaped food dough 4A that is continuously cut from the food dough 3 in the lateral direction falls onto the transfer belt 11 due to its weight.
- the transfer belt 11 carries the long-shaped food dough 4A in the lateral direction (indicated by the arrow "B") perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the conveyer belt 5.
- a velocity of the movement of the cutter 7 (a velocity of cutting) is appropriate level corresponding to the velocity of the movement of the transfer belt 11, such as at about half of the velocity of the movement of the transfer belt 11.
- the conveyer belt 5 is driven again, and stopped after the food dough 3 is carried forward for the distance corresponding to the cut width W. Then, the cutter 7 is lowered, and the following long-shaped food dough 4AA is cut off from the food dough, wherein the following long-shaped food dough 4AA remains connected with the preceding long-shaped food dough 4A at the uncut part (namely, they are not completely separated from each other) by moving the cutter 7 to the left direction, i.e., in the reverse direction indicated by the arrow "B" ("in the backward direction"). In this process, the moving direction of the cutter 7 and that of the transfer belt 11 are opposite to each other.
- the cutter 7 comes close to the left lateral end of the food dough 3, and when the photo sensor 9A, which is positioned anteriorly in the direction of the movement of the cutter 7, detects the right lateral end of the food dough 3, the cutter 7 is lifted up so as to leave an uncut part 3C, as the same way in cutting in the forward direction. Then, after the cutter 7 is moved to the position located outside the left lateral end of the food dough 3, and the food dough 3 is carried forward for the distance corresponding to the cut width W, the food dough 3 is again cut by moving the cutter 7 in the right direction.
- the apparatus 1 for cutting the flattened food dough of the first embodiment of the present inventions since the long-shaped food dough 4 cut out from the food dough 3 is fallen onto the transfer belt 11 from the distal end of the conveyer belt 5 due to its weight, and since the transfer belt 11 moves only in one direction (indicated by the arrow "B"), the movements of the conveyer belt 5 and the cutter 7 are controlled so that a final cut point of the food dough 3 is positioned at the right lateral end of the food dough 3, namely, so that the final cut point is positioned at the downstream side in the direction of the movement of the transfer belt 11.
- a means (a photo sensor) 21 for detecting a proximal end of the food dough 3 is disposed at the side of the conveyer belt 5 and at a predetermined position that is located at the back (the upstream of the conveyer belt 5) of the means 15 for detecting the distal end of the food dough 3.
- the photo sensor 21 detects the food dough 3 that is carried by the conveyer belt 5.
- the food dough 3 is cut into the continuous and long-shaped food dough 4 by the cutter 7, and is carried by the conveyer belt 5, while the cutting operations are repeated.
- the calculating means 17 calculates a number of cutting by the cutter 7 and a new cut width WA, for the remaining food dough 3.
- Fig. 3 shows the condition that the food dough 3 is temporarily stopped at the position where the food dough 3 is carried forward for the distance corresponding to the cut width W from the position where the food dough 3 was previously cut, after detecting the proximal end of the food dough 3 by the photo sensor 21.
- the length between the position 7C for cutting the food dough 3 and the proximal end of it is defined as (L-L1), wherein the distance between the position 7C for cutting by the cutter 7 and the photo sensor 21 is L, and wherein the distance between the photo sensor 21 and the proximal end of the food dough 3 is L1.
- the calculating means 17 calculates the distance L1, wherein L1 is the distance that the food dough 3 is further carried from the position when the photo sensor 21 detects the proximal end of the food dough 3, based on the information of the distance that the food dough 3 is conveyed from the time when the food dough 3 was previously cut to when the photo sensor 21 detects the proximal end of the food dough 3.
- the length (L-L1) between the position 7C for cutting the food dough 3 and the proximal end of it, that is a remaining length, is calculated by a calculating means 23 to calculate the remaining length based on the length L and L1.
- the length L1 may be determined by measuring a distance that the food dough 3 is carried from the position when the photo sensor 21 detects the proximal end of the food dough 3 to the position when the movement of the food dough 3 is stopped.
- productivity is improved by calculating the length L1 when the photo sensor 21 detects the proximal end of the food dough 3.
- a calculating means 25 calculates (L-L1)/W, based on the length (L-L1) and the cut width W, and then the number N (integer number) of cutting the rest of the food dough 3 is determined. Then, based on the results of the above calculation and information relating to the present position of the cutter 7, it is calculated at which lateral end of the food dough 3 the cutter 7 is to complete the cutting process, when the final cutting process to cut the food dough 3 is terminated. Further, the final cut width R of the food dough 3 that includes the proximal end is calculated.
- the method for calculating the new cut width WA is explained, in the case where it is calculated that the final cutting process to cut the food dough 3 is terminated when the cutter 7 completes the cutting process near the right lateral end of the food dough 3 after the cutter 7 cuts the food dough 3 in the direction indicated by the arrow "B" (in the forward direction). Since the final cut width R of the food dough 3 is narrower than the cut width W, the final cut width R may become extremely narrow as compared to the cut width W. In this case, pieces having predetermined weight cut from the long-shaped food dough 4 have a narrow shape, and this is not preferable in the following process, such as a process for rounding the pieces of the food dough.
- the threshold value, one-half of the cut width W is just an example.
- the threshold value, a ratio of (the final cut width R)/(the cut width W) may be set as 70%, for example.
- a new cut width WA is calculated as follows: First, the setting of the number of cutting is changed so that one (1) is added to or subtracted from, the number N of cutting the rest of the food dough 3, and next, the new cut width WA is calculated based on the newly-set number of cutting the food dough 3.
- the apparatus 1 may be controlled so that the final cutting process to cut the food dough 3 is terminated when the cutter 7 cuts it in the direction indicated by the arrow "B" (in the forward direction), and completes the cutting process near the right lateral end of the food dough 3.

- a motor 41 such as a servomotor, is disposed at the frame 29 to drive the driving roller 37.
- a driving chain 47 having an endless loop is wound around a driving sprocket 43 rotated by the motor 41 and one relay sprocket 45A rotatably supported by the conveyer brackets 35L and 35R.
- the driven chain 51 is wound around the other relay sprocket 45B connected in parallel to the relay sprocket 45A and a driven sprocket 49 connected to the driving roller 37.
- the photo sensor 21 is disposed at one side of the conveyer frame 31 in the lateral direction
- the photo sensor 15 is disposed at either of the conveyer bracket 35L or 35R.
- the food dough 3 placed on the conveyer belt 5 can be carried forward (the right direction in Fig. 4 ). Further, the photo sensor 15 can detect the forward end (the distal end) of the food dough 3, and the photo sensor 21 can detect the proximal end of the food dough 3.
- upper and lower guide members 55 are disposed above the distal end of the conveyer belt 5, wherein the left and right ends of the upper and lower guide members 55 are supported by left and right side frames 53L and 53R of the frame 29.
- a slider 57 is supported by the guide members 55 and is movable in the lateral direction.

Further, a supporting bracket 72, to which a driven sprocket 71 is rotatably attached, is disposed at the left part of the motor bracket 65.
- a chain 70 having an endless loop is wound around the driving sprocket 67 and the driven sprocket 71, and the chain 70 and a part of the slider 57 are integrally connected to each other by means of a connecting plate 76.
- the slider 57 can be moved in the lateral direction by rotating the motor 69 in clockwise and counter-clockwise direction. Further, the cutter 7 can be moved up and down by driving the actuator 59 driven vertically. Thus, as explained in the above paragraphs, the food dough 3 being carried forward by the conveyer belt 5 can be cut into the long-shaped food dough 4.
- a transfer conveyer 73 which has the conveyer belt 11 for carrying the long-shaped food dough 4 cut from the food dough 3, to the right side in the lateral direction, is disposed below the distal end of the conveyer belt 5.

- a second weighing conveyer 81 which weighs the pieces 4C cut from the long-shaped food dough 4, is disposed at the downstream of the weighing conveyer 79.
- the cutter 7 of the first embodiment is not limited to a disk-like rotary cutter shown in Fig. 1 , 5 , and 6 .
- An ultrasonic cutter (not shown), which cuts while vibrating a knife-like blade with about tens of microns of small amplitude and with tens of KHz of high frequency, may be used for the cutter 7.

- a blade having a blunt and rounded edge at its periphery see Fig. 7(b)
- a blade having a sharp edged part at a blunt and rounded edge at its periphery see Fig. 7(c)
- a blade having a step-like part, where the thickness of the blade is different from the other part, near the edge at its periphery may be used for the cutter 7.
- the flattened food dough 3 in the present inventions contains not only a plate-like food dough formed by a well-known apparatus for extending food dough, but also a flattened food dough fermented in a tray.
- the food dough 3 is directly placed on the conveyer belt 5 and intermittently carried forward, and the food dough 3 is cut in a zig-zag manner by alternately moving the cutter 7 in the lateral direction.
- the food dough 3 can be cut into the long-shaped food dough 4 under a nearly stress-free condition.
- the long-shaped food dough such as a continuous and string-like, belt-like, or rod-like shape, can be easily manufactured under the nearly stress-free condition.
- the photo sensors 9A and 9B disposed at the right and left sides of the cutter 7 may be omitted.
- a contact-type sensor contacting the food dough 3 may be used instead of using the photo sensors 9A and 9B.
- the apparatus 1 may include a transfer conveyer 11A, disposed under the conveyer belt 5, carrying the long-shaped food dough 4 in the same direction as that of the conveyer belt 5. If the width of the transfer conveyer 11A is narrower than that of the conveyer belt 5, the food dough 3 is cut in a zig-zag manner, while reciprocating the conveyer belt 5 in the lateral direction as shown in Fig. 6 , so that the long-shaped food dough 4 cut from the food dough 3 is always placed on the transfer conveyer 11A.
- the guillotine cutter 77A is disposed near the downstream end of the transfer conveyer 11A. Further, the first and the second weighing conveyers 79A and 81A are disposed at the downstream side of the transfer conveyer 11A, and weigh the pieces 4C cut from the long-shaped food dough 4.
- the apparatus 1 has the transfer conveyer 11A having the width narrower than that of the conveyer belt 5, and has the transfer belt 5 reciprocating in the lateral direction.
- the apparatus 1 has the transfer conveyer 11A having the width equal to that of the conveyer belt 5, and places the long-shaped food dough 4 on the transfer conveyer 11A in a zig-zag manner.
- the difference between an apparatus 101 for cutting food dough depicted in Fig. 8 and the apparatus 1 of the first embodiment is a cutter.
- the apparatus 1 for cutting the food dough has the cutter 7 that is the disk-like rotary cutter or the ultrasonic cutter. But, in the non-embodiment depicted in Fig. 8 the apparatus 101 uses a reel-type cutter 107.
- the reel-type cutter 107 has a plurality of blades, which are spirally protruded from an outer periphery of a cylindrical structure.
- Each blade of the reel-type cutter 107 has an uncut part, wherein a part of the one end of the blade is trimmed away.
- the uncut parts of the neighboring spiral blades are alternately disposed side by side, at the right and the left ends of the blades (the right and the left sides in Fig. 8 ).
- the uncut part in the first spiral blade, the uncut part is disposed at the right end of the blade, and in the second spiral blade, the uncut part is disposed at the left side of the blade.
- the uncut parts are alternately disposed in the same manner.
- the food dough 103 carried by the conveyer belt 105 has a width slightly narrower than that of the spiral blade (the length of the cylindrical structure in its longitudinal direction) disposed at the outer periphery of the cylindrical structure.
- the flattened food dough 103 carried by the conveyer belt 105 is cut in a zig-zag manner, by rotating the reel-type cutter 107 in synchronization with the velocity of the conveyer belt 105, by means of a servomotor (not shown), so as to push the reel-type cutter 107 toward the conveyer belt 105.
- uncut parts i.e., a part of the blade trimmed away
- uncut parts are alternately formed at the right and the left ends of the flattened food dough 103.
- the reel-type cutter 107 Since the reel-type cutter 107 has the spiral-shaped blades, the whole spiral blade does not cut the food dough 103 at one moment, but one point of the spiral blade contacts with the conveyer belt 105, and then the spiral blade sequentially cuts the food dough 103. Thus, the food dough 103 can be cut without receiving heavy stress.
- the food dough 103 cut on the conveyer belt 105 is fallen onto a transfer belt 111 disposed at the downstream side of and below, the conveyer belt 105 due to a weight of the cut food dough.
- a transfer belt 111 disposed at the downstream side of and below, the conveyer belt 105 due to a weight of the cut food dough.
- the difference between an apparatus 201 for cutting food dough of the second embodiment and the apparatus 1 of the first embodiment is that the apparatus 201 has a photo sensor 203 for detecting a turned edge 4E of the long-shaped food dough 4A, which is cut by the cutter 7.
- the photo sensor 203 is disposed in front of the cutter 7 (at the near side from a viewer of Fig. 9 ), namely, above the distal end of the conveyer belt 5, and between the photo sensors 9A and 9B (see Fig. 9 ).
- the photo sensor 203 is disposed so as to move together with the cutter 7.
- a first weighing conveyer 79B, a second weighing conveyer 81B, and a carrying-out conveyer 205 are sequentially disposed at the downstream side of the transfer belt 11.
- the guillotine cutter 77B is disposed near and above the downstream end of the transfer conveyer 11.
- the food dough 3 has a different physical property per food dough.
- the food dough 3 is relatively soft and is fermented food dough with a high-viscosity, sometimes the long-shaped food dough 4 adheres to the conveyer belt 5 and is not fallen downwardly right away.
- the cutter 7 starts to cut the food dough 3 in the reverse direction under the control of the control device 13, before the long-shaped food dough 4 cut in first does not fall downward from the conveyer belt 5, the following long-shaped food dough 4 is cut.
- the previous food dough 4 and the following food dough 4 overlap and fall onto the transfer belt 11.
- the overlapped long-shaped food dough 4 causes a trouble, namely it causes the first weighing conveyer 79 to reduce its precision.
- bar-like food dough 6 having a longitudinal cut width WA is cut from rectangular-shaped food dough 3 having a longitudinal length LA and a lateral length LB, and then pieces 6C having a lateral cut width WB are cut from the bar-like food dough 6.
- the calculating means calculates the longitudinal cut width WA and the lateral cut width WB based on the longitudinal length LA and the lateral length LB of the food dough 3, by inputting an arbitrary dividing number for each cut width by means of an input device (not shown), such as a touch panel.
- the cutter 7 is designed so as to reciprocate for a predetermined interval.
- a photo sensor 207 for detecting a downstream end of the bar-like food dough 6 is disposed at a side of and near, the distal end of a transfer belt 11.
- a first weighing conveyer 79B and a second weighing conveyer 81B are used as carrying conveyers continuously driven at the same velocity as that of the transfer belt 11.
- the food dough 3 is placed on the conveyer belt 5, and the conveyer belt 5 is driven under the control of the control device 13.
- the control device 13 When the food dough 3 is carried forward in the Y axis direction, the distal end of the food dough 3 is detected by the photo sensor 15. Next, the distal end of the food dough 3 is carried forward for the distance corresponding to the longitudinal cut width WA from the position for cutting the food dough 3 by the cutter 7, and then, the conveyer belt 5 is stopped.
- the bar-like food dough cut by the cutter 7 is fallen onto the stopped transfer belt 11.
- the photo sensor 207 detects the distal end of the bar-like food dough 6.
- the bar-like food dough 6 is carried forward for the distance corresponding to the lateral cut width WB, based on signals from the photo sensor 207, the bar-like food dough 6 is cut into pieces 6C by driving a guillotine cutter 77B. For the last piece 6C, the guillotine cutter 77B is not driven. Namely, if the bar-like food dough 6 is cut into six equal pieces, the guillotine cutter 77B is driven at five times.
- the cutter 7 is moved to the predetermined position at the right side while cutting food dough 3 into the bar-like food dough 6, and then lifted up.
- the conveyer belt 5 is driven again, carries the food dough 3 forward for the distance corresponding to the longitudinal cut width WA, and then is stopped.
- the following bar-like food dough 6 is cut from the food dough 3 by lowering the cutter 7 and then moving it at a high velocity toward the left end in the lateral direction, and the bar-like food dough 6 is fallen onto the transfer belt 11. Then, as the same as explained in the above paragraphs, the pieces 6C are cut from the bar-like food dough.
- the rectangular-shaped food dough 3 placed on the conveyer belt 5 is cut into the bar-like food dough 6 having the longitudinal cut width WA, which is equally divided the food dough 3 having a longitudinal length LA, by a predetermined number based on the longitudinal length LA. Further, the bar-like food dough 6 is cut into the pieces 6C having the lateral cut width WB, which is equally divided the food dough 3 having a lateral length LB, by a predetermined number based on the lateral length LB. In this way, the rectangular-shaped food dough 3 can be cut into a predetermined number of pieces 6C.
- the fine-shaped pieces 6C can be cut from the food dough under the nearly stress-free condition.
