本発明は、食品生地である偏平状の外皮材を折り畳んで、外皮材に載置された内材を包み込む折り畳み食品を成形する装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an apparatus for folding a flat outer skin material, which is a food dough, to form a folded food material that wraps the inner material placed on the outer skin material.

従来より、柏餅やクリームパンのような菓子パンなどの折り畳み食品を成形する装置は種々提案されてきた。特許文献1に開示された成形装置は、各々反対方向に同調回動される軸にそれぞれ回転体と、各々の回転体に平行な複数の案内板と、回転体に対して揺動可能な複数の包合板を備えている。この成形装置では、回転体を同調回転させ一対の包合板を案内板に沿って下方に移動することにより餡等の内材を配置した外皮材を折り畳み、包合板で外皮材の周縁部を挟み押圧することで柏餅を成形する。 Conventionally, various devices for molding foldable foods such as sweet buns such as kashiwa mochi and cream buns have been proposed. The molding apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a rotating body on an axis that is tuned and rotated in opposite directions, a plurality of guide plates parallel to each rotating body, and a plurality of swingable bodies with respect to the rotating body. It is equipped with a wrapping board. In this molding device, the rotating body is rotated in synchronization and the pair of plywood is moved downward along the guide plate to fold the outer skin material on which the inner material such as bean paste is placed, and the peripheral portion of the outer skin material is sandwiched between the plywood. Kashiwa mochi is molded by pressing.

特許文献2に開示された成形装置は、搬送装置に所定間隔で設けた一対の板材からなる折り畳み装置と、生地の中心を検出する検出装置と、成形された柏餅を搬出するコンベアを備えている。この成形装置は、検出装置にて検出した生地の中心を折り畳み装置上の中心に合わせて載置し、折り畳み装置にて折り畳み成形することで柏餅を成形する。 The molding device disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes a folding device made of a pair of plate materials provided in the transport device at predetermined intervals, a detection device for detecting the center of the dough, and a conveyor for carrying out the molded Kashiwa mochi. .. In this molding device, the center of the dough detected by the detection device is placed so as to be aligned with the center on the folding device, and the kashiwa mochi is molded by folding and molding with the folding device.

特許文献3に開示された成形装置は、開口部を有するとともにシート状の外皮材が載置される受け部材と、外皮材の開口部に配置された部分を開口部から下方に移動させることで外皮材を二つ折りに形成する外皮材形成手段と、受け部材の下方に配置されるとともに二つ折りされた外皮材の縁部を両側から直進して押圧する一対の封着部材を備える封着手段と、受け部材の上方に配置されるとともに二つ折りされた外皮材の受け部材上に載置された縁部を開口部に向かって押動して外皮材の上端縁部を両側から直進して押圧する一対の封止部材を備える封止手段とを備えている。外皮材形成手段は、二つ折りされた外皮材に内材を供給するに押込み手段を備える。さらに、押込み手段に押込み部材を備え、この押し込み部材の両側面にL形の押込みバーが配設される。押込み部材が下降することで押込み部材が外皮材の中央部を下方に押込むとともに押込みバーが外皮材の縁部を押込むことで外皮材を二つ折りに形成する。 The molding apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 3 has an opening, and a receiving member on which a sheet-shaped outer skin material is placed and a portion arranged in the opening of the outer skin material are moved downward from the opening. A sealing means provided with an outer skin material forming means for forming the outer skin material in half and a pair of sealing members arranged below the receiving member and pressing the edges of the folded outer skin material in a straight line from both sides. Then, the edge portion placed above the receiving member and placed on the receiving member of the folded outer skin material is pushed toward the opening, and the upper end edge portion of the outer skin material is advanced straight from both sides. It is provided with a sealing means including a pair of sealing members to be pressed. The outer skin material forming means includes a pressing means for supplying the inner material to the folded outer skin material. Further, the pushing means is provided with a pushing member, and L-shaped pushing bars are arranged on both side surfaces of the pushing member. When the pushing member is lowered, the pushing member pushes the central portion of the outer skin material downward, and the pushing bar pushes the edge portion of the outer skin material to form the outer skin material in half.

特許文献1及び2に開示された成形装置は、一対の包合板(板材)を折り畳むことで一対の包合板(板材)上に載置された外皮材(生地)を折り畳み成形する装置であるが、生地片が包合板に対し所要の位置からずれて載置された場合、生地片を所要の折り畳み位置で折り曲げることが出来ないという問題がある。また、所定の形状の柏餅を成形することが可能であるが、任意に形状を変更することが出来ないという問題がある。 The molding apparatus disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is an apparatus for folding and molding an outer skin material (fabric) placed on a pair of plywood (plate material) by folding a pair of plywood (plate material). If the dough piece is placed on the plywood at a position deviated from the required position, there is a problem that the dough piece cannot be bent at the required folding position. Further, although it is possible to form Kashiwamochi having a predetermined shape, there is a problem that the shape cannot be changed arbitrarily.

特許文献3に開示された成形装置は、一対の封止部材が受け部材上に載置された外皮材の位置を調整することが記載されているが、封止部材が外皮材の縁部を両側から押動する構成であるため外皮材が屈曲するなど変形し位置調整が確実に行うことが出来ず、封着部が揃わずに折り畳み食品の外観を損ねるという問題がある。
また、外皮材に内材を供給する押込み部材に押込みバーを備えているため、二つ折りされた外皮材の縁部の下降位置に対し内材の配置位置を調節することが出来ないという問題がある。例えば、受け部材に対し押込み部材(押込みバー)を深く押込む場合には、外皮材の封着部分が広く(長く)なり、食品の下方に内材が片寄るという問題が生じる。反対に、押込み部材を浅く押込む場合には、外皮材の封着部分が狭く(短く)なり、クリームパンなどの略半円状の外観が形成出来ないという問題が生じる。つまり、内材の周りに形成される外皮材の封着部分の範囲(長さ)を調節することが出来ないのである。
The molding apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 3 describes that a pair of sealing members adjusts the position of the outer skin material placed on the receiving member, but the sealing member adjusts the edge of the outer skin material. Since the structure is pushed from both sides, the outer skin material is deformed and the position cannot be adjusted reliably, and there is a problem that the sealed portions are not aligned and the appearance of the folded food is spoiled.
In addition, since the push-in member that supplies the inner material to the outer skin material is provided with a push-in bar, there is a problem that the arrangement position of the inner material cannot be adjusted with respect to the descending position of the edge portion of the outer skin material folded in half. be. For example, when the pushing member (pushing bar) is pushed deeply into the receiving member, the sealing portion of the outer skin material becomes wider (longer), and there arises a problem that the inner material is biased to the lower side of the food. On the contrary, when the pressing member is pressed shallowly, the sealing portion of the outer skin material becomes narrow (short), and there arises a problem that a substantially semicircular appearance such as a cream bun cannot be formed. That is, it is not possible to adjust the range (length) of the sealed portion of the outer skin material formed around the inner material.

特許文献4に開示された従来の成形装置は、包合ユニットの載置面上に移載される外皮材の位置ずれを補正する装置がないため、折り畳み食品の封着部が揃わないという問題がある。また、押さえ部材の押圧面に突条部を備え、包合ユニットに外皮材を載置後、押さえ部材にて外皮材の周縁両端部を包合ユニットに押さえ、外皮材の周縁両端部に折り目となる溝部を形成する。しかし、押さえ部材に突条部を一体に形成しているため、所定の形状の菓子パンを成形することが可能であるが、任意に形状を変更することが出来ないという問題がある。 The conventional molding apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 4 does not have an apparatus for correcting the misalignment of the outer skin material transferred onto the mounting surface of the encapsulation unit, so that the sealing portion of the folded food is not aligned. There is. Further, a ridge portion is provided on the pressing surface of the pressing member, and after the outer skin material is placed on the encapsulation unit, both ends of the peripheral edge of the outer skin material are pressed by the encapsulation unit by the pressing member, and creases are formed on both ends of the peripheral edge of the outer skin material. A groove portion is formed. However, since the ridge portion is integrally formed with the pressing member, it is possible to form a sweet bun having a predetermined shape, but there is a problem that the shape cannot be changed arbitrarily.

本発明は、上記課題を解決するものであり、包合ユニットに対し外皮材を所要の折り曲げ位置に位置合わせすることができる折り畳み食品の成形装置を提供することを目的とする。また、内材の周りに形成される外皮材の封着部の範囲(長さ)を調節することができ、外観の異なる様々な折り畳み食品を成形することができる折り畳み食品の成形装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a folding food molding apparatus capable of aligning an outer skin material at a required bending position with respect to an encapsulation unit. Further, the present invention provides a folding food molding apparatus capable of adjusting the range (length) of the sealing portion of the outer skin material formed around the inner material and molding various folded foods having different appearances.

Here, it has been described that the alignment members 16A are a pair, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be composed of a plurality of three or more members. Further, the shape of the inner side surface 16AS has been described as a semicircular shape, but the shape is not limited to this, and is formed by a straight line or an arc so as to form a polygon or an ellipse when the alignment member 16A approaches. It is also possible to make the shape to be.

昇降用のアクチュエータ16Bは、押さえ装置15の昇降フレーム15Aの立板部に取り付けられ、下方を向いたスライドロッドの先端に接近離反用アクチュエータ16Cを取り付ける。さらに、接近離反用のアクチュエータ16Cは、デュアル型シリンダを備え、搬送方向Xに進退する両スライドロッドの先端にブラケット16Dを介して位置合わせ部材16Aを取り付ける。一対の位置合わせ部材16Aは、昇降フレーム15Aに対し昇降し、かつ、互いに接近離反する。 The elevating actuator 16B is attached to the standing plate portion of the elevating frame 15A of the holding device 15, and the approaching / separating actuator 16C is attached to the tip of the slide rod facing downward. Further, the actuator 16C for approaching and separating is provided with a dual type cylinder, and the alignment member 16A is attached to the tips of both slide rods advancing and retreating in the transport direction X via the bracket 16D. The pair of alignment members 16A move up and down with respect to the elevating frame 15A, and approach and separate from each other.

制御装置21は、位置合わせ装置16と押さえ装置15の押さえ部材15Bの昇降動作を別個に駆動制御する。
位置合わせ装置16が包合ユニット23の上方に配置され、包合ユニット23の載置面24C上に載置された外皮材Dの位置合わせ及び外形の成型をすることで、折り畳み食品Pの周縁部DAの重なりが均一になり、折り畳み食品Pの外観を損ねることなく折り畳み成形が可能になる。
The control device 21 separately drives and controls the elevating operation of the positioning device 16 and the holding member 15B of the holding device 15.
The alignment device 16 is arranged above the inclusion unit 23, and by aligning the outer skin material D placed on the mounting surface 24C of the inclusion unit 23 and molding the outer shape, the peripheral edge of the folded food P is formed. The overlap of the parts DA becomes uniform, and folding molding becomes possible without impairing the appearance of the folded food P.

延長装置18は、押さえ部材15Bで包合ユニット23に押さえられた外皮材Dの周縁部DAの両側の周縁端部DB(ここでは、***部DSの両側の端部でもある)を一対の包合板24の間隙23Bから下方に押し延ばすものである。延長装置18は、昇降フレーム15Aの正面側に取り付けられている。延長装置18は、幅方向に一対の延長部材18A、延長部材18Aを昇降するアクチュエータ18B、及び延長部材18Aとアクチュエータ18Bを連結するフレーム機構18Cを備える。 The extension device 18 encloses a pair of peripheral end DBs (here, also both ends of the raised portion DS) on both sides of the peripheral edge DA of the outer skin material D held by the inclusion unit 15 by the pressing member 15B. It extends downward from the gap 23B of the plywood 24. The extension device 18 is attached to the front side of the elevating frame 15A. The extension device 18 includes a pair of extension members 18A in the width direction, an actuator 18B for raising and lowering the extension member 18A, and a frame mechanism 18C for connecting the extension member 18A and the actuator 18B.

板状の延長部材18Aは、押さえ部材15Bの両側で、位置合わせ部材16Aの間に配置され、押え部材15Bの外周に上下方向に設けられた縦溝15Sに案内されて昇降する。延長部材18Aの下端は、内側(押さえ部材15B側)にR面取りされ、それに連続して外側に向かって幅方向に水平に延在する(図11参照)。
延長部材18Aの下側部18Dは、包合板24Wの仕切り24JWと包合板24Zの仕切り24JZの間に挿入できるように、これらの仕切りの間隔より幅が狭く形成されている。さらに、下側部18Dは、先端に向かって厚さが薄くなる様に傾斜面18Eが形成されている(図11及び図20参照)。これにより、後述する延長工程の後に、外皮材Dが下側部18Dに粘着することなく延長部材18Aを上昇することができる。しかし、外皮材Dの性状によっては、延長部材18Aの厚さは一定であってもよい。
アクチュエータ18Bは、例えば、流体圧シリンダであり、スライドロッドのストロークを任意に設定変更できる。フレーム機構18Cは、アクチュエータ18Bのスライドロッドの上端と延長部材18Aの上端を連結する。
The plate-shaped extension member 18A is arranged between the alignment members 16A on both sides of the pressing member 15B, and is guided by a vertical groove 15S provided on the outer periphery of the pressing member 15B in the vertical direction to move up and down. The lower end of the extension member 18A is R-chamfered inward (on the holding member 15B side), and continuously extends horizontally in the width direction toward the outside (see FIG. 11).
The lower portion 18D of the extension member 18A is formed to be narrower than the space between these partitions so that it can be inserted between the partition 24JW of the plywood 24W and the partition 24JZ of the plywood 24Z. Further, the lower portion 18D is formed with an inclined surface 18E so that the thickness decreases toward the tip end (see FIGS. 11 and 20). As a result, after the extension step described later, the extension member 18A can be raised without the outer skin material D adhering to the lower portion 18D. However, depending on the properties of the outer skin material D, the thickness of the extension member 18A may be constant.
The actuator 18B is, for example, a fluid pressure cylinder, and the stroke of the slide rod can be arbitrarily set and changed. The frame mechanism 18C connects the upper end of the slide rod of the actuator 18B and the upper end of the extension member 18A.

延長部材18Aは、昇降フレーム15Aの昇降により押さえ部材15Bと昇降するとともに、アクチュエータ18Bの作動により押さえ部材15Bに対し昇降する。押さえ部材15Bに対する延長部材18Aの上昇停止位置は、調節可能であるが、ここでは、延長部材18Aの下端が押さえ部材15Bの突条部15Dの下端と一致する位置に設定する。下降した押さえ部材15Bに対する延長部材18Aの下降停止位置は、調節可能であるが、ここでは、開状態の包合板24の間隙23Bに侵入し、延長部材18Aの下端が包合板24の端部24Bに突設された最下方の小突条24Hと一致する位置に設定する。 The extension member 18A moves up and down with the pressing member 15B by raising and lowering the elevating frame 15A, and moves up and down with respect to the pressing member 15B by operating the actuator 18B. The ascending / stopping position of the extension member 18A with respect to the pressing member 15B is adjustable, but here, the lower end of the extension member 18A is set to a position corresponding to the lower end of the ridge portion 15D of the pressing member 15B. The lowering stop position of the extension member 18A with respect to the lowered holding member 15B is adjustable, but here, it penetrates into the gap 23B of the plywood 24 in the open state, and the lower end of the extension member 18A is the end portion 24B of the plywood 24. It is set at a position that coincides with the lowermost small ridge 24H projecting from.

支持装置17は、包合装置13の下方に配置され、外皮材Dを支持し、さらには、折り畳み食品Pを後述する搬出コンベア19へ搬送する装置である。支持装置17は、各包合ユニット23に対応する2つのベルトコンベア17Aとベルトコンベア17A間に搬送コンベア17Bを備える。ベルトコンベア17Aの昇降位置や昇降速度、また、ベルトコンベア17Aと搬送コンベア17Bの駆動タイミングや駆動速度は制御装置21にて調節可能に制御されている。搬出コンベア19は、支持装置17の下流側に連設されたベルトコンベアであり、折り畳み食品Pを支持装置17から受け取り、さらに、下流側へ搬出する装置である。搬出コンベア19の上方にローラなどの当接部材(図省略)を設けた場合には、折り畳み食品Pは横倒した状態で搬送される(図2参照)。 The support device 17 is a device that is arranged below the wrapping device 13 to support the outer skin material D, and further conveys the folded food P to the carry-out conveyor 19 described later. The support device 17 includes a transfer conveyor 17B between the two belt conveyors 17A and the belt conveyors 17A corresponding to each inclusion unit 23. The elevating position and elevating speed of the belt conveyor 17A, and the drive timing and drive speed of the belt conveyor 17A and the transfer conveyor 17B are adjustable and controlled by the control device 21. The carry-out conveyor 19 is a belt conveyor connected to the downstream side of the support device 17, and is a device that receives the folded food P from the support device 17 and further carries it out to the downstream side. When a contact member (not shown) such as a roller is provided above the carry-out conveyor 19, the folded food P is conveyed in a sideways state (see FIG. 2).

次に、図1乃至図16を参照し、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る成形装置1による折り畳み食品Pの成形工程について説明する。上述のとおり、調整された生地玉DDから圧延された偏平状の外皮材Dは、外皮材成型装置4により、その上面に幅方向に沿った直線状の***部DSを有し、円形に成型される。外皮材Dは、内材供給装置5のノズル5Eの下方で一時的に搬送が停止され、内材供給装置5から外皮材Dの中心に所要量の内材Fが吐出される(内材載置工程)。内材Fが載置された外皮材Dは、搬送コンベア5Aから折り畳み成形装置7の供給コンベア11に搬送される(図1、図2参照)。 Next, the molding process of the folded food P by the molding apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 16. As described above, the flat outer skin material D rolled from the adjusted dough ball DD has a linear raised portion DS along the width direction on the upper surface thereof by the outer skin material molding apparatus 4, and is molded into a circular shape. Will be done. The outer skin material D is temporarily stopped from being conveyed below the nozzle 5E of the inner material supply device 5, and the required amount of the inner material F is discharged from the inner material supply device 5 to the center of the outer skin material D (inner material loading). Placement process). The outer skin material D on which the inner material F is placed is transferred from the transfer conveyor 5A to the supply conveyor 11 of the folding forming apparatus 7 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

包合装置13の包合ユニット23は、一対の包合板24(24W、24Z)を開き、互いに離反した状態で待機している。また、昇降フレーム15Aは、位置合わせ部材16A、押さえ部材15B及び延長部材18Aとともに上昇位置で停止している。位置合わせ部材16Aは、昇降用アクチュエータ16Bが往動し、押さえ部材15Bに対し下降位置にいる。また、接近離反用アクチュエータ16Cが往動し、一対の位置合わせ部材16Aは、離反している。延長部材18Aは、昇降用アクチュエータ18Bが往動し、押さえ部材15Bに対し上昇位置にいる。この状態を初期状態と称する(図3乃至図5参照)。 The wrapping unit 23 of the wrapping device 13 opens a pair of wrapping plates 24 (24W, 24Z) and stands by in a state of being separated from each other. Further, the elevating frame 15A is stopped at the ascending position together with the alignment member 16A, the pressing member 15B, and the extension member 18A. The alignment member 16A is in a descending position with respect to the pressing member 15B by moving the elevating actuator 16B forward. Further, the approach / separation actuator 16C moves forward, and the pair of positioning members 16A are separated from each other. The extension member 18A is in an ascending position with respect to the pressing member 15B by moving the elevating actuator 18B forward. This state is referred to as an initial state (see FIGS. 3 to 5).

供給コンベア11の先端部11Aは、往復動する範囲においてX方向の上流側へ縮んだ待機位置にある。センサ11Bが搬送される外皮材Dを感知すると、先端部11AはX方向に沿って下流側に移動する。先端部11Aは、包合ユニット23の上方を覆うように伸びた進出位置にて移動を停止する。そして、平面視において外皮材Dの中心LDが包合ユニット23Wの開口23Aの中心23AOと一致する位置にて、供給コンベヤ11は外皮材Dの搬送を停止する(図5参照)。詳細には、先端部11A上には、X方向に沿って2つの外皮材Dが離れて載置される。 The tip portion 11A of the supply conveyor 11 is in a standby position contracted to the upstream side in the X direction within the range of reciprocating movement. When the sensor 11B senses the outer skin material D to be conveyed, the tip portion 11A moves downstream along the X direction. The tip portion 11A stops moving at an advancing position extending so as to cover the upper part of the inclusion unit 23. Then, at a position where the center LD of the outer skin material D coincides with the center 23AO of the opening 23A of the inclusion unit 23W in a plan view, the supply conveyor 11 stops the transportation of the outer skin material D (see FIG. 5). Specifically, two outer skin materials D are placed separately on the tip portion 11A along the X direction.

次いで、先端部11Aは一気に後退し、先端部11A上に載置されていた下流側の外皮材Dは下流側の包合ユニット23Wの一対の包合板24の載置面24C上に移載される。続いて、上流側の外皮材Dの中心LDが、上流側の包合ユニット23Zの開口23Aの中心23AOと一致する位置にて、供給コンベヤ11は外皮材Dの搬送を停止する。次いで、先端部11Aは一気に後退し、先端部11A上に載置されていた上流側の外皮材Dは、上流側の包合ユニット23Zの一対の包合板24の載置面24C上に移載される。このとき、外皮材Dは内材Fの重量及び落下の影響で、対向する傾斜面24F内に入り込み、窪んだ状態になる。また、幅方向の両側の曲面24G及び間隙23B上に位置する外皮材Dの周縁端部DB(ここでは、***部DSの両側の端部分を含む)は、間隙23Bに少し入り込み窪んだ状態になる(載置工程、図6参照)。 Next, the tip portion 11A retracts at a stretch, and the outer skin material D on the downstream side mounted on the tip portion 11A is transferred onto the mounting surface 24C of the pair of plywood 24 of the packing unit 23W on the downstream side. To. Subsequently, the supply conveyor 11 stops the transport of the outer skin material D at a position where the center LD of the outer skin material D on the upstream side coincides with the center 23AO of the opening 23A of the inclusion unit 23Z on the upstream side. Next, the tip portion 11A retracts at a stretch, and the outer skin material D on the upstream side mounted on the tip portion 11A is transferred onto the mounting surface 24C of the pair of plywood 24 of the packing unit 23Z on the upstream side. Will be done. At this time, the outer skin material D enters the facing inclined surface 24F due to the weight of the inner material F and the influence of the drop, and becomes a dented state. Further, the peripheral edge DB (here, including the ends on both sides of the raised portion DS) of the outer skin material D located on the curved surfaces 24G on both sides in the width direction and the gap 23B is slightly inserted into the gap 23B and is recessed. (Placement process, see FIG. 6).

先端部11Aが上流端の待機位置まで後退すると、昇降フレーム15Aの下降により位置合わせ部材16A、押さえ部材15B及び延長部材18Aが包合ユニット23に向かって下降する。互いに離反した一対の位置合わせ部材16Aは、包合板24の載置外周面24Dまで下降し、外皮材DのX方向上流側と下流側に配置される(図7参照)。 When the tip portion 11A retracts to the standby position at the upstream end, the alignment member 16A, the pressing member 15B, and the extension member 18A descend toward the inclusion unit 23 due to the lowering of the elevating frame 15A. The pair of alignment members 16A separated from each other descends to the mounting outer peripheral surface 24D of the packaging plate 24, and are arranged on the upstream side and the downstream side in the X direction of the outer skin material D (see FIG. 7).

アクチュエータ16Cが復動し、一対の位置合わせ部材16Aが互いに接近し、外皮材Dの周囲を囲み、内側面16ASが外皮材Dの外周を中心に向かって押圧し、外皮材Dの外形を位置合わせ部材16Aの内側面16ASに沿うように成型する。また、外皮材Dの中心LDを包合ユニット23の開口23Aの中心23AOに位置合わせする。このとき、位置合わせ部材16Aは、外皮材Dを少し傾斜面24Fに押込む(位置合わせ工程、図8参照)。 The actuator 16C is relocated, the pair of alignment members 16A approach each other, surround the outer skin material D, and the inner side surface 16AS presses the outer periphery of the outer skin material D toward the center to position the outer shape of the outer skin material D. It is molded along the inner side surface 16AS of the mating member 16A. Further, the center LD of the outer skin material D is aligned with the center 23AO of the opening 23A of the inclusion unit 23. At this time, the alignment member 16A slightly pushes the outer skin material D into the inclined surface 24F (alignment step, see FIG. 8).

さらに、昇降フレーム15Aの下降により押さえ部材15B及び延長部材18Aが下降する。このとき、昇降用のアクチュエータ16Cが復動することにより、位置合わせ部材16Aは、包合板24の載置外周面24D上で留まり、押さえ部材15Bは、位置合わせ部材16Aや包合ユニット23に対し下降する。押さえ部材15Bは内材Fと接することなく下降し、押さえ部材15Bの下面の半円状の押圧面15Cは、外皮材Dの周縁部DAを包合板24の載置外周面24Dに押さえる。 Further, the holding member 15B and the extension member 18A are lowered by lowering the elevating frame 15A. At this time, when the actuator 16C for raising and lowering is restored, the alignment member 16A stays on the mounting outer peripheral surface 24D of the packaging plate 24, and the pressing member 15B with respect to the alignment member 16A and the packaging unit 23. Go down. The pressing member 15B descends without contacting the inner material F, and the semicircular pressing surface 15C on the lower surface of the pressing member 15B presses the peripheral edge DA of the outer skin material D to the mounting outer peripheral surface 24D of the plywood 24.

また、押さえ部材15Bの各突条部15Dが、周縁部DAの一部である周縁端部DBを離反状態の一対の包合板24(24W、24Z)の各曲面24Gに押さえる。周縁端部DBの中央は、突状部15Dによって間隙23Bに押し込まれる。周縁端部DBは、突条部15D及び曲面24Gの形状に沿うように二つ折りされる。外皮材Dの周縁部DAの外形は、位置合わせ部材16Aの内側面16ASに沿って円形に成型される(押さえ工程、図9参照)。 Further, each ridge portion 15D of the pressing member 15B presses the peripheral edge end DB, which is a part of the peripheral edge DA, to each curved surface 24G of the pair of packaging plates 24 (24W, 24Z) in the separated state. The center of the peripheral edge DB is pushed into the gap 23B by the protruding portion 15D. The peripheral edge DB is folded in half along the shape of the ridge portion 15D and the curved surface 24G. The outer shape of the peripheral edge DA of the outer skin material D is formed into a circle along the inner side surface 16AS of the alignment member 16A (pressing step, see FIG. 9).

押さえ部材15Bの内部空間15Eにコンプレッサ30から圧縮空気A2が所要時間Tだけ送給され、内部空間15Eの空気圧を高めるよう作用する。外皮材Dの中央部分は、内材Fを介し圧縮空気A2の空気圧により傾斜面24Fに沿って下方に膨張し(窪み)、ついには包合ユニット23の開口23Aを通過し下方まで膨張し椀状に形成され、椀状の外皮材Dの中に内材Fが配置される。 Compressed air A2 is supplied from the compressor 30 to the internal space 15E of the holding member 15B for the required time T, and acts to increase the air pressure in the internal space 15E. The central portion of the outer skin material D expands downward (recesses) along the inclined surface 24F due to the air pressure of the compressed air A2 via the inner material F, and finally passes through the opening 23A of the inclusion unit 23 and expands downward to the bowl. The inner material F is arranged in the bowl-shaped outer skin material D, which is formed in a shape.

ベルトコンベア17Aは、包合装置13の下方にて、包合板24から所要の間隔で待機している。ベルトコンベア17Aの上面が下方に膨張する外皮材Dの底部を支持することにより、外皮材Dが必要以上に変形することを防止して、外皮材Dの形状を安定させるとともに、外皮材Dの周縁部DAに対する内材Fの頭部FTの位置を決定する(椀状形成工程、内材配置工程、支持工程、図10参照)。 The belt conveyor 17A stands by at a required interval from the wrapping plate 24 below the wrapping device 13. By supporting the bottom of the outer skin material D in which the upper surface of the belt conveyor 17A expands downward, the outer skin material D is prevented from being deformed more than necessary, the shape of the outer skin material D is stabilized, and the outer skin material D is supported. The position of the head FT of the inner material F with respect to the peripheral edge DA is determined (a bowl-shaped forming step, an inner material arranging step, a supporting step, see FIG. 10).

外皮材Dに形成された***部DSの生地は、押さえ工程、椀状形成工程、支持工程を経過することで、薄く延ばされる。しかし、外皮材Dに予め生地厚の厚い部分を備えることにより、成形された折り畳み製品Pの底部の生地厚が過度に薄くなることを防止することができる。 The dough of the raised portion DS formed on the outer skin material D is thinly stretched through the pressing step, the bowl-shaped forming step, and the supporting step. However, by providing the outer skin material D with a portion having a thick fabric in advance, it is possible to prevent the fabric thickness at the bottom of the molded folding product P from becoming excessively thin.

昇降用アクチュエータ18Bが復動し、一対の延長部材18Aは、押さえ部材15Bの縦溝15Sに案内され、一対の包合板24の間を設定位置(ここでは、包合板24Zの下側の小突条24HZ)まで下降し、外皮材Dの周縁端部DBを下方に押し延ばす。外皮材Dの周縁端部DBが二つ折りされた返し部は、内材Fの頭部FTに対し下がる。延長部材18Aの下端の内側にR面取りなど水平でない傾斜部を備えることにより、外皮材Dが外側(ここでは、幅方向)に押し出されることを抑制する。また、周縁端部DBは、幅方向の側部を一対の仕切り24J(24JW、24JZ)で覆われているので幅方向に延伸することが防止され、折り畳み食品Pの外観を整えることができる(延長工程、図11参照)。 The elevating actuator 18B is restored, and the pair of extension members 18A are guided by the vertical groove 15S of the holding member 15B, and a set position is set between the pair of plywood 24 (here, a small protrusion on the lower side of the plywood 24Z). It descends to Article 24HZ) and pushes the peripheral edge DB of the outer skin material D downward. The return portion where the peripheral end DB of the outer skin material D is folded in half is lowered with respect to the head FT of the inner material F. By providing a non-horizontal inclined portion such as an R chamfer inside the lower end of the extension member 18A, it is possible to prevent the outer skin material D from being pushed out (here, in the width direction). Further, since the peripheral end DB is covered with a pair of partitions 24J (24JW, 24JZ) in the width direction, it is prevented from being stretched in the width direction, and the appearance of the folded food P can be adjusted (). Extension process, see FIG. 11).

アクチュエータ16Cが往動し、一対の位置合わせ部材16Aは互いに離反し、押さえ部材15Bや外皮材Dと離れる(図12参照)。昇降用アクチュエータ18Bが往動し、一対の延長部材18Aが上昇して押さえ部材15Bに対する上昇停止位置に戻る。延長部材18Aが上昇する際、包合板24の小突条24Hが間隙23B内で延ばされた外皮材D(ここでは、周縁端部DB)と係合し、外皮材Dが上方に縮小することを防止する(図13参照)。また、上述したように、延長部材18Aの下側部18Dは、先端に向かって厚さが薄くなる様に傾斜面18Eが形成されているので、延長部材18Aの上昇時に、外皮材Dが延長部材18Aに粘着し、返し部が上方に引き上げられ縮小することを抑制する(図20参照)。 The actuator 16C moves forward, and the pair of alignment members 16A separate from each other and separate from the pressing member 15B and the outer skin material D (see FIG. 12). The elevating actuator 18B moves forward, and the pair of extension members 18A rises and returns to the ascending / stopping position with respect to the pressing member 15B. When the extension member 18A rises, the small ridges 24H of the plywood 24 engage with the outer skin material D (here, the peripheral end DB) extended in the gap 23B, and the outer skin material D shrinks upward. This is prevented (see FIG. 13). Further, as described above, since the inclined surface 18E is formed on the lower portion 18D of the extension member 18A so that the thickness decreases toward the tip end, the outer skin material D extends when the extension member 18A rises. It adheres to the member 18A and suppresses the return portion from being pulled upward and contracted (see FIG. 20).

昇降フレーム15Aは、位置合わせ部材16A、押さえ部材15B及び延長部材18Aとともに上昇し、各部材は初期位置に復帰する。駆動シャフト26Gが平面視において反時計方向に揺動(往動)するとともに、スライド機構26が往動を開始する。このとき、クラッチ機構28A、28Bは、それぞれシャフト27D、27Jを固定し、互いに接近する。離反していた一対の包合板24(24W、24Z)が接近動作し、各包合板24の間に形成される間隙23Bは狭くなる。間隙23Bに位置する周縁端部DBは各包合板24の端部24Bの間で挟圧され、偏平化する。外皮材Dが重なり合う周縁端部DBは確実に封着され、折り畳み食品Pにおける端封着部DRとなる。また、端封着部DRの上端には新たな溝部DZが形成される(挟圧工程、図14参照)。 The elevating frame 15A rises together with the alignment member 16A, the pressing member 15B, and the extension member 18A, and each member returns to the initial position. The drive shaft 26G swings (forwards) in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view, and the slide mechanism 26 starts moving forward. At this time, the clutch mechanisms 28A and 28B fix the shafts 27D and 27J, respectively, and approach each other. The pair of plywoods 24 (24W, 24Z) separated from each other move closer to each other, and the gap 23B formed between the plywoods 24 becomes narrower. The peripheral edge DB located in the gap 23B is sandwiched between the ends 24B of each plywood 24 and flattened. The peripheral edge DB on which the outer skin material D overlaps is securely sealed, and becomes the edge sealing portion DR in the folded food P. Further, a new groove portion DZ is formed at the upper end of the end sealing portion DR (pressing step, see FIG. 14).

挟圧工程完了後、クラッチ機構28A、28Bは、それぞれシャフト27D、27Jを解放し、リンク機構27が揺動(往動)を開始する。各包合板24W、24Zが閉じるように揺動し、外皮材Dの周縁部DA(下流側の周縁部DAWと上流側の周縁部DAZ、図14参照)は折り畳まれ重なり合い、対向する載置面24Cの間(間隙23C)で封着され、折り畳み食品Pが成形される。折り畳み食品Pは、外皮材Dから内材Fの漏出がなく、周縁部DAが重なり合う弧状の封着部DFは確実に封着される(封着工程、図15参照)。 After the pressing step is completed, the clutch mechanisms 28A and 28B release the shafts 27D and 27J, respectively, and the link mechanism 27 starts swinging (forward). Each of the plywoods 24W and 24Z swings so as to close, and the peripheral edge DA of the outer skin material D (the peripheral edge DAW on the downstream side and the peripheral edge DAZ on the upstream side, see FIG. 14) are folded and overlapped, and the mounting surfaces facing each other. It is sealed between 24C (gap 23C) and the folded food P is formed. In the folded food P, the inner material F does not leak from the outer skin material D, and the arc-shaped sealing portion DF on which the peripheral portions DA overlap is securely sealed (seal step, see FIG. 15).

封着工程完了後、駆動シャフト26Gが時計方向に揺動(復動)するとともに、スライド機構26が復動を開始する。このとき、クラッチ機構28A、28Bは、それぞれシャフト27D、27Jを固定し、互いに離反する。折り畳み食品Pは、包合板24Wと24Zの離反により包合ユニット23から離型される(離型工程、図16参照)。折り畳み食品Pは、ベルトコンベア17Aとともに下降し、下降端位置で搬出コンベア19に移乗し、さらに、二次成形装置や熱処理装置などに搬出される(搬出工程)。 After the sealing process is completed, the drive shaft 26G swings (returns) in the clockwise direction, and the slide mechanism 26 starts removing. At this time, the clutch mechanisms 28A and 28B fix the shafts 27D and 27J, respectively, and separate from each other. The folded food P is released from the wrapping unit 23 by the separation of the wrapping plate 24W and 24Z (molding step, see FIG. 16). The folded food P descends together with the belt conveyor 17A, is transferred to the carry-out conveyor 19 at the lower end position, and is further carried out to a secondary molding device, a heat treatment device, or the like (carry-out process).

その後、クラッチ機構28A、28Bは、それぞれシャフト27D、27Jを解放し回動自在な状態に切り替え、リンク機構27A、27Bは逆方向に揺動(復動)し、一対の包合板24W、24Zは開方向に揺動し、2つの包合ユニット23W、23Zは開状態(初期状態)に復帰する(図5参照)。 After that, the clutch mechanisms 28A and 28B release the shafts 27D and 27J, respectively, and switch to a rotatable state, the link mechanisms 27A and 27B swing (recover) in the opposite direction, and the pair of plywood 24W and 24Z Swinging in the open direction, the two inclusion units 23W and 23Z return to the open state (initial state) (see FIG. 5).

上記説明では、***部DSを有する外皮材Dから折り畳み食品Pを成形した。***部DSは、外皮材Dの中央部を膨張させる椀状成形工程や外皮材Dの周縁端部DBを押し延ばす延長工程においてその厚さが薄くなる。しかし、***部DSが外皮材Dの他の部分より予め厚く形成されていることで、焼成や蒸成などされた最終製品において、製品の底部が過度に薄くなることが防止され、内材Fの漏出や製品の食感が低下するなどの問題を解決することができる。 In the above description, the folded food P was molded from the outer skin material D having the raised portion DS. The thickness of the raised portion DS is reduced in the bowl-shaped forming step of expanding the central portion of the outer skin material D and the extension step of extending the peripheral end portion DB of the outer skin material D. However, since the raised portion DS is formed thicker than the other portions of the outer skin material D in advance, it is possible to prevent the bottom of the product from becoming excessively thin in the final product that has been fired or steamed, and the inner material F is prevented from becoming excessively thin. It is possible to solve problems such as leakage of the product and deterioration of the texture of the product.

上記の第1の実施形態では、押さえ装置15とともに、位置合わせ装置16と延長装置18を用いて折り畳み食品Pを成形するよう説明した。ここでは、位置合わせ装置16及び/又は延長装置18の効果について、折り畳み食品Pの形状から説明する。 In the first embodiment described above, it has been described that the folding food P is formed by using the alignment device 16 and the extension device 18 together with the pressing device 15. Here, the effects of the alignment device 16 and / or the extension device 18 will be described from the shape of the folded food P.

図17は、横倒させた折り畳み食品Pを示す斜視図である。(a)図は、位置合わせ装置16及び延長装置18を用いず、押さえ装置15のみを用いて成形した折り畳み食品Pである。(b)図は、位置合わせ装置16を用いず、押さえ装置15及び延長装置18を用いて成形した折り畳み食品Pである。図18は、横倒させた折り畳み食品Pを示す斜視図である。(a)図は、延長装置18を用いず、位置合わせ装置16及び押さえ装置15を用いて成形した折り畳み食品Pである。(b)図は、押さえ装置15、位置合わせ装置16及び延長装置18を用いて成形した折り畳み食品Pである。 FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing a folded food product P that has been laid on its side. (A) The figure is a folded food P formed by using only the pressing device 15 without using the alignment device 16 and the extending device 18. (B) The figure is a folded food P formed by using a pressing device 15 and an extending device 18 without using the alignment device 16. FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing a folded food product P that has been laid on its side. (A) The figure is a folded food P formed by using the alignment device 16 and the pressing device 15 without using the extension device 18. (B) The figure is a folded food P formed by using a pressing device 15, an alignment device 16 and an extension device 18.

図17と図18を対比すると、位置合わせ装置16の使用の有無による成形の効果が理解できる。位置合わせ装置16を用いない場合は、包合ユニット23に供給される外皮材Dは、外皮材成型装置4により成型された外形に起因する。したがって、重なり合う周縁部DAの幅が比較的に広く封着される。また、位置合わせ装置16を用いない場合には、包合ユニット23に対し位置ずれするときがある。折り畳まれる周縁部DAの重なりが均一にならず一方が他方に対し不規則なずれを生じ、折り畳み食品P、さらには、最終製品の品質を低下させるという問題が生じる。したがって、位置合わせ装置を用いることにより、上記問題を解決することができ、折り畳み食品Pを安定して成形することができる。 By comparing FIGS. 17 and 18, it is possible to understand the effect of molding depending on whether or not the alignment device 16 is used. When the alignment device 16 is not used, the outer skin material D supplied to the inclusion unit 23 is due to the outer shape molded by the outer skin material molding device 4. Therefore, the width of the overlapping peripheral edge DAs is relatively wide and sealed. Further, when the alignment device 16 is not used, the position may shift with respect to the inclusion unit 23. The overlap of the folded peripheral edges DA is not uniform, and one side causes an irregular deviation from the other side, which causes a problem that the quality of the folded food P and the final product is deteriorated. Therefore, by using the alignment device, the above problem can be solved and the folded food P can be stably molded.

次に、図17と図18において、(a)図と(b)図を対比すると、延長装置18の使用の有無による成形の効果が理解できる。(a)図で示す折り畳み食品Pは、椀状成形工程(図11参照)の後、延長工程(図13参照)を経ることなく、挟圧工程(図14)へと成形されていく。それに対し、(b)図は、延長工程で、外皮材Dの周縁端部DBが二つ折りされた返し部が外皮材Dの内部に配置された内材Fの頭部FTに対し押し下げられる。(a)図に対し(b)図に示す折り畳み食品Pの端封着部DRの位置は、折り畳み食品Pの底面(図17、図18における右斜め奥側の面)側に押し延ばされている。また、上記説明のように、延長工程における延長部材18Aの下降停止位置は調節可能であり、内材Fの周りに形成される外皮材Dの封着部DFの範囲(長さ)を調節することができる。したがって、外観の異なる様々な折り畳み食品Pを成形することができる。 Next, in FIGS. 17 and 18, by comparing FIGS. (A) and (b), it is possible to understand the effect of molding depending on whether or not the extension device 18 is used. (A) The folded food P shown in the figure is formed into a pressing step (FIG. 14) after a bowl-shaped forming step (see FIG. 11) without going through an extension step (see FIG. 13). On the other hand, in the figure (b), in the extension step, the return portion where the peripheral end DB of the outer skin material D is folded in half is pushed down against the head FT of the inner material F arranged inside the outer skin material D. (A) The position of the end-sealed portion DR of the folded food P shown in FIG. ing. Further, as described above, the descending stop position of the extension member 18A in the extension step is adjustable, and the range (length) of the sealing portion DF of the outer skin material D formed around the inner material F is adjusted. be able to. Therefore, various folding foods P having different appearances can be molded.

図19は、折り畳み食品Pを示す斜視図である。例えば、外皮材Dをパン生地、内材Fをカレーフィリングとするカレーパンである。成形装置1で成形された折り畳み食品Pを横倒すことなく、封着部DFを上面として天板などに載置したものである。内材Fの周りの外皮材Dの封着部DFの範囲(長さ)を比較的に長く成形することにより、図19で示すような楕円球型に成形し易くできる。 FIG. 19 is a perspective view showing the folded food P. For example, it is a curry bread in which the outer skin material D is a bread dough and the inner material F is a curry filling. The folded food P molded by the molding apparatus 1 is placed on a top plate or the like with the sealing portion DF as the upper surface without lying down. By forming the range (length) of the sealing portion DF of the outer skin material D around the inner material F to be relatively long, it is possible to easily form an elliptical spherical shape as shown in FIG.

本発明の実施の形態に係る折り畳み食品Pの成形装置1の説明は概ね上記のとおりであるが、これに限らず特許請求の範囲において種々の変更が可能である。上記説明では、包合板24W、24Zにそれぞれ仕切り24JW、24JZを備えるよう説明したが、一方の包合板24の幅方向の両方の端部24Bに連続する仕切りを備え、一対の仕切りの間に他方の包合板24の両側の端部24Bを入り込ませるよう包合ユニット23を構成してもよい。一対の仕切りの間で、かつ対向する端部24Bの間に延長部材18Aを昇降させることで、外皮材Dが幅方向に延伸することが防止され、所定の幅の折り畳み食品Pを成形することができる。 The description of the folding food P molding apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is generally as described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. In the above description, the plywood 24W and 24Z are provided with partitions 24JW and 24JZ, respectively. However, one of the plywood 24 is provided with continuous partitions at both ends 24B in the width direction, and the other is provided between the pair of partitions. The packaging unit 23 may be configured to accommodate the ends 24B on both sides of the packaging plate 24. By raising and lowering the extension member 18A between the pair of partitions and between the opposite end portions 24B, the outer skin material D is prevented from being stretched in the width direction, and the folded food P having a predetermined width is formed. Can be done.

また、外皮材Dを円形に成型するよう説明したが、外皮材成型装置4や位置合わせ装置16の形状を変更することにより多角形状や楕円形状などに成型することも可能である。また、包合ユニット23に対する位置合わせ装置16の配置を変更することにより、開口23Aに対する外皮材Dの載置位置を所要の位置にずらすことも可能であり、折り畳まれた外皮材Dの周縁部DAの重なりを多少ずらした折り畳み食品Pを成形するように、周縁部DAの重なりを調整することも可能である。
また、一対の位置合わせ部材16Aを、内側面16ASの形状が異なる位置合わせ部材16Aの組合せとすることも可能であり、折り畳まれた外皮材Dの周縁部DAの重なりをずらした折り畳み食品Pを成形することも可能である。
Further, although it has been described that the outer skin material D is molded into a circular shape, it is also possible to mold the outer skin material D into a polygonal shape, an elliptical shape, or the like by changing the shapes of the outer skin material molding device 4 and the alignment device 16. Further, by changing the arrangement of the alignment device 16 with respect to the inclusion unit 23, it is possible to shift the mounting position of the outer skin material D with respect to the opening 23A to a required position, and the peripheral edge portion of the folded outer skin material D can be shifted. It is also possible to adjust the overlap of the peripheral DAs so as to form the folded food P in which the overlap of the DAs is slightly shifted.
Further, the pair of alignment members 16A can be combined with the alignment members 16A having different shapes of the inner side surface 16AS, and the folded food P in which the peripheral portion DA of the folded outer skin material D is not overlapped can be obtained. It is also possible to mold.

上記説明では、椀状成形装置として、押さえ部材15Bの内部空間15Eの空気圧を高める空気圧上昇装置を構成するよう説明した。しかしながら、例えば、特許文献4の図11乃至図13に示すような内材Fの吐出圧で外皮材Dを椀状成形するように外皮材Dに内材Fを供給するノズルと、ノズルに内材Fを供給する送給装置とを備えた内材供給装置であってもよい。また、例えば、特許文献4の図14乃至図17に示すような押さえ部材の内側に昇降可能に配置され外皮材Dを包合ユニットの開口から下方に押し延ばして外皮材Dを椀状に形成する押込み部材と、押込み部材から内材Fを供給して外皮材Dに内材Fを配置するよう押込み部材に内材Fを供給する送給装置とを備えた押込み装置であってもよい。いずれの装置であっても外皮材Dに内材Fを配置することができる。 In the above description, as the bowl-shaped molding device, an air pressure increasing device for increasing the air pressure in the internal space 15E of the holding member 15B has been described. However, for example, a nozzle that supplies the inner material F to the outer skin material D so as to form the outer skin material D in a bowl shape by the discharge pressure of the inner material F as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 of Patent Document 4, and an inner nozzle. It may be an internal material supply device provided with a feeding device for supplying the material F. Further, for example, the outer skin material D is arranged so as to be able to move up and down inside the pressing member as shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 of Patent Document 4, and the outer skin material D is pushed downward from the opening of the inclusion unit to form the outer skin material D in a bowl shape. It may be a pushing device including a pushing member to be supplied and a feeding device for supplying the inner material F from the pushing member and supplying the inner material F to the pushing member so as to arrange the inner material F on the outer skin material D. In any device, the inner material F can be arranged on the outer skin material D.

また、包合板24の端部24Bに小突条24Hを備えるよう説明したが、例えば、端部24Bの面上に球面状の小さな窪みなど凹状のディンプルを備えてもよく、対向する端部24Bの間を押し延ばされる外皮材D(上記説明では、周縁端部DB)と係合することにより、外皮材Dが上方へ縮むことを防止することができる。また、小突条24H及び/又はディンプルは、対向する端部24Bの少なくとも一方に形成されれば良い。 Further, although it has been described that the end portion 24B of the plywood 24 is provided with the small protrusion 24H, for example, a concave dimple such as a small spherical depression may be provided on the surface of the end portion 24B, and the opposite end portion 24B may be provided. By engaging with the outer skin material D (in the above description, the peripheral end DB) that is stretched between the two, it is possible to prevent the outer skin material D from shrinking upward. Further, the small ridges 24H and / or dimples may be formed on at least one of the opposite end portions 24B.
