次に、図１及び図４を参照しつつ、本発明の実施の形態に係る食品形成装置の動作について説明する。ここで、図４は本実施の形態に係る食品成形装置の成形部材の動作を示す正面図である。   Next, the operation of the food forming apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4. Here, FIG. 4 is a front view showing the operation of the molding member of the food molding apparatus according to the present embodiment.

前記食品供給装置から食品成形装置１に対して棒状の食品４が上方から下方鉛直方向に向かって連続して供給されると、第１往復動機構７の第１電動モータ２３の駆動により第１スプライン軸１８が回転すると共に、第３往復動機構９の第３電動モータ３６の駆動により駆動軸３５が回転する。   When the bar-like food 4 is continuously supplied from the upper side to the lower side in the vertical direction from the food supply device to the food molding device 1, the first electric motor 23 of the first reciprocating mechanism 7 drives the first electric motor 23. While the spline shaft 18 rotates, the drive shaft 35 rotates by driving the third electric motor 36 of the third reciprocating mechanism 9.

第１スプライン軸１８の回転に伴い、第１円筒溝カム１９ａ，１９ｂが回転し、第１カム溝嵌合部材２２ａ，２２ｂがカム溝２０ａ，２０ｂに沿って摺動することにより、摺動部材１７ａ，１７ｂはベース板１６上をガイド軸２４に案内されながらそれぞれ互いに近接する方向に移動する。一方、駆動軸３５の回転に伴い、第３円筒溝カム３４が回転し、第３カム溝嵌合部材３２がカム溝３３に沿って摺動することにより、摺動部材１７ａ，１７ｂはベース板１６と共に下方鉛直方向に移動する。   As the first spline shaft 18 rotates, the first cylindrical groove cams 19a and 19b rotate, and the first cam groove fitting members 22a and 22b slide along the cam grooves 20a and 20b. 17a and 17b move on the base plate 16 in directions close to each other while being guided by the guide shaft 24. On the other hand, as the drive shaft 35 rotates, the third cylindrical groove cam 34 rotates and the third cam groove fitting member 32 slides along the cam groove 33, so that the sliding members 17a and 17b become the base plate. 16 and move vertically downward.

この結果、左右の成形部材６ａ，６ｂは、第１往復動機構７と第３往復動機構９の協動により、図４中において矢印（１）で示すように、それぞれ降下しながら互いに近接方向に移動し、最下端位置において、係合凸部１３ａと係合凹部１３ｂが係合し、各切断部１０ａ，１０ｂ同士が接触する。また、左右の成形部材６ａ，６ｂの接触時、第２往復動機構８の各第２電動モータ３０ａ，３０ｂの駆動により第２スプライン軸２５ａ，２５ｂがそれぞれ回転し、第２スプライン軸２５ａ，２５ｂと共に回転する第２円筒溝カム２８ａ，２８ｂのカム溝２７ａ，２７ｂに沿って第２カム溝嵌合部材２６ａ，２６ｂがそれぞれ摺動することにより、左右の成形部材６ａ，６ｂはそれぞれ互いに逆向きに往復動する。   As a result, the left and right molding members 6a and 6b are moved toward each other while being lowered as shown by an arrow (1) in FIG. 4 by the cooperation of the first reciprocating mechanism 7 and the third reciprocating mechanism 9. In the lowermost position, the engaging convex portion 13a and the engaging concave portion 13b are engaged, and the respective cutting portions 10a and 10b are in contact with each other. Further, when the left and right molding members 6a and 6b are in contact with each other, the second spline shafts 25a and 25b are respectively rotated by driving the second electric motors 30a and 30b of the second reciprocating mechanism 8, and the second spline shafts 25a and 25b are respectively rotated. As the second cam groove fitting members 26a and 26b slide along the cam grooves 27a and 27b of the second cylindrical groove cams 28a and 28b rotating together, the left and right molded members 6a and 6b are opposite to each other. Reciprocate.

このようにして、棒状の食品４は、切断部１０ａ，１０ｂにより切断され、切断された餅菓子５は上半分の外形形状を下流側食品成形部１２ａ，１２ｂにより整えられる。また、餅菓子５の下半分の外形形状は、切断部１０ａ、１０ｂにより切断される前に上流側食品成形部１１ａ，１１ｂにより既に整えられているため、これにより、餅菓子５全体の外形が所定の略球状に整えられることになる。この棒状の食品４の切断時、係合凸部１３ａと係合凹部１３ｂの係合部分の上面１４及び下面１５がいずれも円滑な湾曲面を形成しているため、餅菓子５の上部及び下部の切断部分は円滑な湾曲面を形成し、餅菓子５は所定の略球状に精度良く確実に成形されるようになる。   In this way, the rod-shaped food 4 is cut by the cutting portions 10a and 10b, and the cut candy cake 5 is trimmed by the downstream food molding portions 12a and 12b. Moreover, since the outer shape of the lower half of the candy confectionery 5 is already prepared by the upstream food molding parts 11a and 11b before being cut by the cutting parts 10a and 10b, the outer shape of the candy candy 5 as a whole is thereby adjusted. It is arranged in a predetermined substantially spherical shape. When the bar-like food 4 is cut, the upper surface 14 and the lower surface 15 of the engaging convex portion 13a and the engaging concave portion 13b form smooth curved surfaces. The cut portion forms a smooth curved surface, and the confectionery 5 is accurately and reliably formed into a predetermined substantially spherical shape.

次いで、第１電動モータ２３の駆動により第１スプライン軸１８が回転し、第１スプライン軸１８と共に回転する第１円筒溝カム１９ａ，１９ｂのカム溝２０ａ，２０ｂに沿って第１カム溝嵌合部材２２ａ，２２ｂがそれぞれ摺動することにより、摺動部材１７ａ，１７ｂは、図４中において矢印（２）で示すように、ベース板１６上をそれぞれ互いに離間する方向に移動する。これにより、所定の形状に成形された餅菓子５はベルトコンベア３７上に落下し、次の製造工程に移される。   Next, when the first electric motor 23 is driven, the first spline shaft 18 rotates, and the first cam groove fits along the cam grooves 20a and 20b of the first cylindrical groove cams 19a and 19b that rotate together with the first spline shaft 18. As the members 22a and 22b slide, the sliding members 17a and 17b move on the base plate 16 in directions away from each other as indicated by an arrow (2) in FIG. Thereby, the candy cake 5 shape | molded by the predetermined shape falls on the belt conveyor 37, and is moved to the following manufacturing process.

その後、第３電動モータ３６の駆動により回転する駆動軸３５の回転に伴い、第３円筒溝カム３４が回転し、第３カム溝嵌合部材３２がカム溝３３に沿って摺動することにより、摺動部材１７ａ，１７ｂはベース板１６と共に上方鉛直方向に移動する。この摺動部材１７ａ，１７ｂの移動に伴い、左右の成形部材６ａ，６ｂは、図４中において矢印（３）で示すように上方鉛直方向に移動し、最初の位置に戻る。   Thereafter, the third cylindrical groove cam 34 rotates with the rotation of the drive shaft 35 rotated by the drive of the third electric motor 36, and the third cam groove fitting member 32 slides along the cam groove 33. The sliding members 17a and 17b move together with the base plate 16 in the upward vertical direction. With the movement of the sliding members 17a and 17b, the left and right molding members 6a and 6b move in the upward vertical direction as indicated by an arrow (3) in FIG. 4 and return to the initial position.

以降、上記した動作が繰り返し行われ、前記食品供給装置から食品成形装置１に連続して送り出された棒状の食品４から次々に所定形状の餅菓子５が成形される。   Thereafter, the above-described operation is repeatedly performed, and the predetermined-shaped candy cake 5 is formed one after another from the rod-shaped food 4 continuously fed from the food supply device to the food forming device 1.
