Moreover, there exists a problem that the food dough pushed out in the conical hole by adhesion of food dough stagnates.

本発明は、上記の問題を解決するものであり、軟質な食品生地や粘着性の高い食品生地であっても安定した捩じり成形が可能な捩じり食品の成形方法及びその装置を提供するものである。 The present invention solves the above problems, and provides a method and apparatus for forming a twisted food that can be stably twisted even with soft food dough and highly sticky food dough. To do.

本発明は、前述のごとき問題に鑑みてなされたもので、第一の発明は、回転ノズルの回転中心軸から偏心して備えた吐出口より食品生地を吐出して食品生地体を形成する際に、吐出された前記食品生地体が前記回転ノズルの回転中心軸と同心状に配置され、前記回転ノズルの下面より突出した捩じり付与部材に接触しながら前記捩じり付与部材の周りを回転することにより捩じり食品の成形方法において、前記捩じり付与部材の前記回転ノズルの下面からの突出長さ調整することにより前記捩じり食品の単位長さ当たりの巻き数を増減させるとともに、前記捩じり食品の外観太さを増減させることを特徴とする該成形方法である。 The present invention has been made in view of the problems as described above, and the first invention is to form a food dough body by discharging food dough from an outlet provided eccentric from the rotation center axis of the rotary nozzle. The discharged food dough body is arranged concentrically with the rotation center axis of the rotary nozzle, and rotates around the twist imparting member while contacting the twist imparting member protruding from the lower surface of the rotary nozzle. In the twisted food molding method, the number of turns per unit length of the twisted food is increased or decreased by adjusting the protruding length of the twist imparting member from the lower surface of the rotating nozzle. The molding method is characterized by increasing or decreasing the appearance thickness of the twisted food .

また、第二の発明は、食品生地を吐出する吐出口を回転自在の回転ノズルの回転中心軸から偏心して設け、捩じり付与部材を前記回転ノズルの回転中心軸と同心状に配置するとともに、前記回転ノズルの下面より突出して設けた捩じり食品成形装置において、前記捩じり付与部材に接触しながら前記捩じり付与部材の周りを回転することにより成形される捩じり食品の単位長さ当たりの巻き数を増減させるとともに、前記捩じり食品の外観太さを増減させるために前記捩じり付与部材の前記回転ノズルの下面からの突出長さを調整するよう前記捩じり付与部材を上下位置調整可能に設けたことを特徴とする該製造装置である。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, the discharge port for discharging the food dough is provided eccentric from the rotation center axis of the rotatable rotary nozzle, and the torsion imparting member is arranged concentrically with the rotation center axis of the rotation nozzle In the twisted food forming apparatus provided so as to protrude from the lower surface of the rotating nozzle, the twisted food formed by rotating around the twist imparting member while being in contact with the twist imparting member. In order to increase or decrease the number of windings per unit length and to increase or decrease the appearance thickness of the twisted food, the twisting member is adjusted to adjust the protruding length of the twist imparting member from the lower surface of the rotating nozzle. The manufacturing apparatus is characterized in that the vertical application member is provided so that the vertical position can be adjusted .

It is a edible food molding device.

本発明によれば、従来文献のごとく回転ノズルの下端から吐出された食品生地体が垂下する食品生地体及び捩じり食品生地体の重量（以下、自重と称する場合あり）を全て保持するものでなく、回転ノズルの下端から突設した捩じり付与部材が垂下する食品生地体及び捩じり食品生地体の重量の一部を分担して保持するものであるので、自重による食品生地体の伸びを抑制でき、重量の乱れを抑制したり、あるいは、引きちぎれによる切断を防止することが可能となる。さらに、食品生地体の伸びを抑制できることにより捩じり成形された捩じり食品生地体を太く成形することができる。 According to the present invention, as in the prior art, the weight of the food dough body and the twisted food dough body discharged from the lower end of the rotating nozzle is held (hereinafter sometimes referred to as self-weight). In addition, the torsion imparting member projecting from the lower end of the rotating nozzle shares and holds a part of the weight of the food dough body and the twisted food dough body depending on the weight of the food dough body by its own weight. It is possible to suppress the elongation of the material, to suppress the disturbance of the weight, or to prevent the cutting due to tearing. Furthermore, the twisted food dough body can be formed thick by being able to suppress the elongation of the food dough body.

また、特許文献１のごとく吐出口を備えた回転ノズルの下方に設けた搬送装置と協働して捩じり成形するものではなく、回転ノズルの下端から突設した捩じり付与部材と協働して捩じり成形するものであるので、回転ノズルの下方に切断装置を設けることが可能となる。このような場合、従来文献１のごとく搬送装置の途中に切断装置を設ける必要がなく包餡機全体の構成が簡単にできる。また、切断装置の下方に搬送装置用いずにフライヤーやターンテーブル式粉付け機などを直接設けることも可能となる。 In addition, as in Patent Document 1, it is not torsionally formed in cooperation with a conveying device provided below a rotary nozzle having a discharge port, but in cooperation with a torsion imparting member protruding from the lower end of the rotary nozzle. Since it is torsionally molded, it is possible to provide a cutting device below the rotary nozzle. In such a case, it is not necessary to provide a cutting device in the middle of the conveying device as in the conventional document 1, and the configuration of the entire packaging machine can be simplified. Further, it is possible to directly provide a fryer, a turntable type powdering machine or the like below the cutting device without using a conveying device.

また、前記切断装置の下方に捩じり食品の下部を支持する支持手段を上下動可能に設けることにより、切断する捩じり食品を支持した状態で成形が可能となり、例えば捩じり食品の上部において内包材が露出するよう切断成形することができ、多様な形状に成形することが可能となる。 Further, by providing a support means for supporting the lower part of the twisted food under the cutting device so as to be movable up and down, it is possible to form the product while supporting the twisted food to be cut. It can be cut and molded so that the inner packaging material is exposed at the upper part, and can be formed into various shapes.

また、特許文献２のごとく捩じり食品の表面が円錐孔に接触するものではなく、回転ノズルの下端から突設した捩じり付与部材が捩じり食品の中心部分に接触するものであるので、捩じり食品の表面を傷つけることなく美しい外観の捩じり食品を成形することが可能となる。 Further, as in Patent Document 2, the surface of the twisted food is not in contact with the conical hole, but the torsion imparting member protruding from the lower end of the rotating nozzle is in contact with the central portion of the twisted food. Therefore, it is possible to form a twisted food product having a beautiful appearance without damaging the surface of the twisted food product.

また、回転ノズルの下端から突設する前記捩じり付与部材の突出長さを調節可能に設けることにより捩じり食品の捩れ形状を変化させることが可能である。また、捩じり付与部材の太さを調節可能に設けることにより回転ノズルから吐出される食品生地体との接触を確実にすることができる。 Moreover, it is possible to change the twist shape of the twisted food by providing the protrusion length of the twist imparting member projecting from the lower end of the rotary nozzle so as to be adjustable. Moreover, the contact with the food dough body discharged from a rotation nozzle can be ensured by providing the thickness of a twist provision member so that adjustment is possible.

The vertical mechanism of the support member 82 is configured by a cam mechanism, a screw feed mechanism, or the like that is interlocked with the control motor. And it is provided so that it may move up and down synchronizing with the up-and-down movement of the cutting device 7 in the state where the lower part of the twisted food dough body DD discharged from the torsion forming device 1 is supported. Since the transport device 8 does not need to be provided with a cutting device in the middle of the transport device as in Patent Document 1, it can be configured simply. Further, as another embodiment, a fryer, a turntable type powdering machine, or the like can be directly provided below the cutting device without using a conveying device.

制御装置９は、包餡機の全体の駆動を制御する装置であり、捩じり成形装置１、外皮材供給装置５、内包材供給装置６、切断装置７、搬送装置８の各装置に駆動指令を発信して駆動を制御するものである。 The control device 9 is a device that controls the overall driving of the wrapping machine, and is driven by each of the twist forming device 1, the outer skin material supply device 5, the inner packaging material supply device 6, the cutting device 7, and the transport device 8. A command is transmitted to control driving.

上記のように構成された捩じり成形装置１に前記外皮材供給装置５から外皮材ＤＡを供給し、前記内包材供給装置６から内包材ＤＢを供給する。内包材ＤＢは、上部ケーシング２１の連通口２１ｂ、内筒部３の連通口３１及び円筒部３２、分岐ノズル部材２８を流下して内ノズル２９ａ，２９ｂから吐出される。また、外皮材ＤＡは、内筒部３と分岐ノズル部材２８により形成される内筒の外周面と、上部ケーシング２１、リングギヤ２４、回転ノズル２５により形成される外筒の内周面との間に形成される環状空間を流下する。その際、環状空間内を回転する前記攪拌部材２４ａにより攪拌、流動化され、その後、前記内ノズル２９ａ，２９ｂから吐出される内包材ＤＢを外皮材ＤＡで同心状に被覆して外ノズル２５ａ，２５ｂより２本の食品生地体ＤＣとして吐出される。 The outer skin material DA is supplied from the outer skin material supply device 5 and the inner packaging material DB is supplied from the inner packaging material supply device 6 to the twist forming apparatus 1 configured as described above. The inner packaging material DB flows down the communication port 21b of the upper casing 21, the communication port 31 and the cylindrical portion 32 of the inner cylinder portion 3, and the branch nozzle member 28, and is discharged from the inner nozzles 29a and 29b. The outer skin DA is between the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder formed by the inner cylinder portion 3 and the branch nozzle member 28 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder formed by the upper casing 21, the ring gear 24, and the rotary nozzle 25. It flows down the annular space formed in the. At that time, the agitating member 24a rotating in the annular space is agitated and fluidized, and then the inner packaging material DB discharged from the inner nozzles 29a, 29b is concentrically covered with the outer skin material DA, and the outer nozzles 25a, The two food dough bodies DC are discharged from 25b.

前記捩じり成形装置１の内部において外皮材ＤＡや内包材ＤＢの食品生地は、流下するために圧力がかかっている。したがって、２本の食品生地体ＤＣは、外ノズル２５ａ，２５ｂから吐出されると前記圧力から開放され、外ノズル２５ａ，２５ｂの吐出口の外径より太く変形して吐出される。そして、２本の食品生地体ＤＣは、前記回転ノズル２５の回転中心軸と同心状に配置され、回転ノズル２５の下面より突設された捩じり付与部材４に接触粘着し回転ノズル２５の回転に伴って捩じり付与部材４の周りを回転しながら下方へ移動する。この時、２本の食品生地体ＤＣは、螺旋状に絡み合って捩じり食品生地体ＤＤに成形される。 Inside the twist forming apparatus 1, the food dough of the outer skin material DA and the inner packaging material DB is under pressure to flow down. Accordingly, when the two food dough bodies DC are discharged from the outer nozzles 25a and 25b, the pressure is released from the pressure, and the two food dough bodies DC are deformed to be thicker than the outer diameters of the discharge ports of the outer nozzles 25a and 25b. The two food dough bodies DC are arranged concentrically with the rotation center axis of the rotary nozzle 25, and contact and adhere to the torsion imparting member 4 projecting from the lower surface of the rotary nozzle 25, so As it rotates, it moves downward while rotating around the torsion imparting member 4. At this time, the two food dough bodies DC are spirally entangled and twisted to form the food dough body DD.

特許文献１に示されるような捩じり成形装置では、各々の食品生地体がその下方で捩じり成形される捩じり食品生地体を保持するため、その重量により食品生地体が引き伸ばされ細く変形したり、引きちぎれてしまったりする。そして、細い食品生地体により捩じり成形された捩じり食品生地体も細いものになってしまう。しかしながら、本実施例による捩じり成形装置１では、回転ノズル２５の下端から突設した捩じり付与部材４が垂下する食品生地体ＤＣ及び捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの重量の一部を分担して保持するものであるので、自重による食品生地体ＤＣの伸びを抑制でき、重量の乱れを抑制したり、あるいは、引きちぎれによる切断を防止することが可能となる。さらに、食品生地体ＤＣの伸びを抑制できることにより捩じり成形された捩じり食品生地体ＤＤを従来に比べ太く成形することができる。 In the twist forming apparatus as shown in Patent Document 1, each food dough body holds a twisted food dough body that is twisted underneath, so that the food dough body is stretched by its weight. It may be deformed thinly or torn. And the torsion food dough body twisted and formed by the thin food dough body also becomes thin. However, in the twist forming apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, a part of the weight of the food dough body DC and the twisted food dough body DD on which the torsion imparting member 4 projecting from the lower end of the rotary nozzle 25 is suspended. Since they are held in a shared manner, the elongation of the food dough body DC due to its own weight can be suppressed, and the disturbance of weight can be suppressed, or the cutting due to tearing can be prevented. Furthermore, the twisted food dough body DD formed by twisting can be formed thicker than before by suppressing the elongation of the food dough body DC.

前記捩じり付与部材４は、前述の通り捩じり成形装置１内で上下位置調節可能に設けている。つまり、回転ノズル２５の下面からの捩じり付与部材４の突出長さを調節可能に設けている。捩じり付与部材４の突出長さと捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの捩じり形状の係わりについて図３及び図４に基づいて説明する。図３は、図２と比較して捩じり付与部材４の突出長さを長く調節した状態を示す説明図である。捩じり付与部材４の突出長さを長く調節すると、捩じり付与部材４に対する外皮材ＤＡの接触抵抗が増加するため捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの下方への送り速度（単位時間当たりの移動距離）が減速する。そのため、捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの単位長さ当たりの巻き数が増加し、捩じり食品生地体ＤＤは太い外観となる。 The torsion imparting member 4 is provided so that the vertical position can be adjusted in the torsion forming apparatus 1 as described above. That is, the protrusion length of the torsion imparting member 4 from the lower surface of the rotary nozzle 25 is provided so as to be adjustable. The relationship between the protruding length of the torsion imparting member 4 and the torsional shape of the torsion food dough DD will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the protrusion length of the torsion imparting member 4 is adjusted to be longer than that in FIG. When the protrusion length of the twist imparting member 4 is adjusted to be long, the contact resistance of the outer skin material DA to the twist imparting member 4 increases, and therefore the feed speed of the twisted food dough body DD downward (per unit time) Travel distance) decelerates. Therefore, the number of windings per unit length of the twisted food dough body DD increases, and the twisted food dough body DD has a thick appearance.

図４は、図２と比較して捩じり付与部材４の突出長さを短く調節した状態を示す説明図である。捩じり付与部材４の突出長さを短く調節すると、捩じり付与部材４に対する外皮材ＤＡの接触抵抗が減少するため捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの下方への送り速度が増加する。そのため、の単位長さ当たりの巻き数が減少し、捩じり食品生地体ＤＤは細い外観となる。 FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the protruding length of the torsion imparting member 4 is adjusted to be shorter than that in FIG. When the protruding length of the torsion imparting member 4 is adjusted to be short, the contact resistance of the outer skin material DA with respect to the torsion imparting member 4 decreases, so that the feed speed of the twisted food dough body DD increases. Therefore, the number of windings per unit length is reduced, and the twisted food dough DD has a thin appearance.

また、回転ノズル２５の回転速度（回転数と同義）は、制御装置９に設定入力する設定値により変更可能に設けている。従って、前記回転速度を変化させることにより捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの捩じり形状を変化させることが可能となる。例えば、図２に示した状態と比較して前記回転速度を増加させると捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの単位長さ当たりの巻き数が増加する。また、前記回転速度を減速させると捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの単位長さ当たりの巻き数が減少する。 Further, the rotational speed (synonymous with the rotational speed) of the rotary nozzle 25 is provided so as to be changeable according to a set value input to the control device 9. Therefore, it is possible to change the twisted shape of the twisted food dough DD by changing the rotational speed. For example, when the rotational speed is increased as compared with the state shown in FIG. 2, the number of windings per unit length of the twisted food dough DD increases. Further, when the rotational speed is reduced, the number of windings per unit length of the twisted food dough DD decreases.

捩じり食品生地体ＤＤは、その下部を前記搬送ベルト８１を介した支持部材８２に支持された状態で前記切断装置７により捩じり食品ＤＥに切断成形される。捩じり食品ＤＥの形状は、前記切断装置７に備えたカッター体の刃面形状により様々に成形可能である。図５（Ａ）及び（Ｂ）は、捩じり食品ＤＥを例示した説明図であり、上の図は上面図であり、下の図は正面図である。図５（Ａ）は、捩じり食品ＤＥの上下の切断部分を封着した場合を示している。本図における捩じり食品ＤＥは略球状に示したが、棒状に長い形状であってもよい。 The twisted food dough body DD is cut and formed into the twisted food DE by the cutting device 7 with its lower part supported by the support member 82 via the transport belt 81. The shape of the twisted food DE can be variously formed according to the shape of the blade surface of the cutter body provided in the cutting device 7. 5A and 5B are explanatory views illustrating the twisted food DE, the upper view is a top view, and the lower view is a front view. FIG. 5A shows a case where the upper and lower cut portions of the twisted food DE are sealed. The twisted food DE in this figure is shown in a substantially spherical shape, but it may have a long rod shape.

また、図５（Ｂ）は、捩じり食品ＤＥの下の切断部分を封着し、上の切断部分を薄刃状のカッター体で切断して上面から内包材ＤＢが露出するように成形した場合を示している。例えば、内包材ＤＢをみたらしのごとく流動性のある食品とした場合、従来技術のように搬送コンベアに横倒した状態で切断成形すると内包材ＤＢが捩じり食品ＤＥから漏出してしまい商品価値を無くしてしまったり、搬送ベルトを汚すなどの問題となってしまうが、本発明によればそのような問題は生じない。 Further, FIG. 5 (B) is formed so that the cut portion under the twisted food DE is sealed, and the upper cut portion is cut with a thin blade-like cutter body so that the inner packaging material DB is exposed from the upper surface. Shows the case. For example, when the inner packaging material DB is made to be a fluid food product, the inner packaging material DB is twisted and leaked from the food product DE when cut and molded in a state of being laid down on the transport conveyor as in the prior art. However, according to the present invention, such a problem does not occur.

さらに、捩じり食品ＤＥの上下の切断部分を薄刃状のカッター体で切断して上面及び下面から内包材ＤＢが露呈するように成形してもよい。本実施例では、図５に示すように捩じり食品ＤＥの外周に形成された螺旋状の捩じり模様は鉛直方向に形成されている。また、上面から見た形状は、中心を対称とする点対称に成形される。 Further, the upper and lower cut portions of the twisted food DE may be cut with a thin blade-like cutter body so that the inner packaging material DB is exposed from the upper surface and the lower surface. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the spiral twist pattern formed on the outer periphery of the twisted food DE is formed in the vertical direction. Further, the shape viewed from the upper surface is formed in point symmetry with the center being symmetric.

次に、第２の実施の形態に係る捩じり成形装置１について図面に基づき説明する。図６は、捩じり成形装置１の概要を示す縦断面による説明図である。第１実施例においては、捩じり付与部材４を上下位置調節可能に設けることにより回転ノズル２５の下面より突出する突出長さを調節していたが、第２実施例においては、捩じり付与部材４を取付け交換可能に設けることにより前記捩じり付与部材４の突出長さや太さを調節可能に設けたものである。また、第１実施例においては、内包材ＤＢを外皮材ＤＡで被覆した２本の食品生地体ＤＣを吐出するよう説明したが、第２実施例においては、色彩や配合の異なる第１食品生地ＤＡ及び第２食品生地ＤＢからなる２本の食品生地体ＤＣを吐出するよう設けたものである。なお、第１実施例と同様な構成については、同じ符号を用い詳細な説明は省略する。 Next, the twist forming apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

However, in the second embodiment, the first food dough having different colors and blending is used. Two food dough bodies DC composed of DA and the second food dough DB are provided to be discharged. In addition, about the structure similar to 1st Example, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted using the same code | symbol.

The fixed shaft portion 45 is fitted into the through hole 33 of the inner cylinder portion 3, the through hole 28d of the communication member 28, and the through hole 25c of the rotary nozzle 25, and is fixed to the inner cylinder portion 3 by fastening means such as screws (not shown). Yes. The lower end surface of the fixed shaft portion 45 is provided on a virtual plane that is substantially the same as the lower surface of the rotary nozzle 25. And the front-end | tip part 46 is provided in the lower end surface of the fixed shaft part 45 so that attachment or detachment is possible by fastening means, such as a screw.

上記のように構成された捩じり成形装置１に前記食品生地供給装置５から第１食品生地ＤＡを供給し、前記食品生地供給装置６から第２食品生地ＤＢを供給する。第１食品生地ＤＡは、内筒部３と連通部材２８により形成される内筒の外周面と、上部ケーシング２１、リングギヤ２４、回転ノズル２５により形成される外筒の内周面との間に形成される環状空間を流下し、外ノズル２５ａより食品生地体ＤＣとして吐出される。また、第２食品生地ＤＢは、上部ケーシング２１の連通口２１ｂ、内筒部３の連通口３１及び円筒部３２、連通部材２８及び連通管２９ｂをを流下して外ノズル２５ｂから食品生地体ＤＣとして吐出される。そして、２本の食品生地体ＤＣは、外ノズル２５ａ，２５ｂの吐出口の外径より太く膨らんで吐出し、外ノズル２５ａ，２５ｂの吐出口から僅かに離れて設けられた捩じり付与部材４の先端部４６に接して粘着する。そして、回転ノズル２５の回転に伴い、２本の食品生地体ＤＣが螺旋状に絡み合って捩じり食品生地体ＤＤが成形される。 The first food dough DA is supplied from the food dough supply device 5 and the second food dough DB is supplied from the food dough supply device 6 to the twist forming apparatus 1 configured as described above. The first food dough DA is between the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder formed by the inner cylinder portion 3 and the communication member 28 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder formed by the upper casing 21, the ring gear 24, and the rotating nozzle 25. It flows down the formed annular space and is discharged as a food dough body DC from the outer nozzle 25a. The second food dough DB flows down the communication port 21b of the upper casing 21, the communication port 31 and the cylindrical portion 32 of the inner cylinder part 3, the communication member 28 and the communication pipe 29b, and flows from the outer nozzle 25b to the food dough body DC. Are discharged. Then, the two food dough bodies DC are swelled and discharged thicker than the outer diameters of the discharge ports of the outer nozzles 25a and 25b, and are twisted members provided slightly apart from the discharge ports of the outer nozzles 25a and 25b. 4. Adheres to the tip 46 of 4 and adheres. As the rotary nozzle 25 rotates, the two food dough bodies DC are spirally entangled and twisted to form the food dough body DD.

前記先端部４６は、前述の通り固定部材４５に対し着脱交換可能に設けている。例えば、先端部４６をその長さが相違する部材と交換することにより、第１実施例で説明したように捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの捩じり形状を調節することが可能となる。 As described above, the distal end portion 46 is provided so as to be attachable / detachable with respect to the fixing member 45. For example, by replacing the tip 46 with a member having a different length, the twisted shape of the twisted food dough DD can be adjusted as described in the first embodiment.

また、回転ノズル２５から吐出される食品生地体ＤＤの太さは、その食品生地の物性により相違する。食品生地体ＤＤの吐出時の膨張による太さの変形が少ない場合には、食品生地体ＤＤが前記先端部４６に接することができず、捩じり食品生地体ＤＤを成形できない場合がある。このような場合、先端部４６の太さが太い部材と交換することにより、先端部４６と食品生地体ＤＣが接することが可能となり捩じり食品生地体ＤＤが成形できる。さらには、先端部４６をその外周面が前記外ノズル２５ａ，２５ｂの吐出口の内周面に一致したり、あるいは、前記吐出口の下方に入り込んで先端部４６と前記吐出口が一部重なるように設けて食品生地体ＤＣと接触するようにしてもよい。 Moreover, the thickness of the food dough body DD discharged from the rotary nozzle 25 differs depending on the physical properties of the food dough. When there is little deformation of the thickness due to the expansion of the food dough body DD at the time of discharge, the food dough body DD cannot contact the tip 46 and the twisted food dough body DD may not be formed. In such a case, by replacing the tip 46 with a member having a large thickness, the tip 46 and the food dough DC can be brought into contact with each other, and the twisted food dough DD can be formed. Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the front end portion 46 coincides with the inner peripheral surface of the discharge port of the outer nozzles 25a and 25b, or the front end portion 46 and the discharge port partially overlap with each other under the discharge port. It may be provided so that it contacts the food dough body DC.

本発明の実施の形態に係る捩じり成形装置１の説明は概ね上述した通りであるが、これに限らず特許請求の範囲内において変更が可能である。上記実施例においては、２口の外ノズル２５ａ，２５ｂから２本の食品生地体ＤＣを吐出するよう説明したが、１口や、あるいは３口以上のノズルを設けることも可能である。１口の場合には、１本の食品生地体ＤＣが螺旋状に巻かれた捩じり食品生地体が成形される。 The description of the twist forming apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is generally as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be changed within the scope of the claims. In the above embodiment, the two food dough bodies DC are discharged from the two outer nozzles 25a and 25b. However, it is possible to provide one or three or more nozzles. In the case of one mouth, a twisted food dough body in which one food dough body DC is spirally wound is formed.

また、複数の吐出口を設けた場合、各々の吐出口を捩じり付与部材４に一部重なるか、僅かに離れて配置してもよい。または、その両方を混在させてもよい。 When a plurality of discharge ports are provided, each of the discharge ports may partially overlap with the twist applying member 4 or may be disposed slightly apart. Or both of them may be mixed.

また、食品生地体ＤＣを外皮材ＤＡが内包材ＤＢを被覆した２重構造の生地体として説明したが、外ノズルから１種の食品生地のみを吐出したり、３重以上の食品生地体を吐出するように設けてもよい。また、複数の外ノズルから例えば色彩などの相違する複数種の食品生地を吐出するように設けてもよい。また、外ノズルの吐出口の形状は円形に限らず任意の形状に設けることが可能である。このように様々な組み合わせにより多彩な捩じり食品ＤＥが成形可能である。 In addition, although the food dough body DC has been described as a dough body having a double structure in which the outer skin material DA covers the inner packaging material DB, only one kind of food dough is discharged from the outer nozzle, or three or more food dough bodies are disposed. You may provide so that it may discharge. Moreover, you may provide so that several types of food doughs which differ in a color etc. may be discharged from several outer nozzles. Further, the shape of the discharge port of the outer nozzle is not limited to a circle and can be provided in an arbitrary shape. As described above, various twisted foods DE can be formed by various combinations.

また、捩じり付与部材４に制御モータを連動連結し、回転ノズル２５の回転と差動するよう回転可能に設けることも可能である。捩じり付与部材４の回転速度を調節可能に設けることにより、捩じり食品生地体ＤＤの捩じり模様を調節することができる。 It is also possible to link the control motor to the torsion imparting member 4 so as to be rotatable so as to be differential with the rotation of the rotary nozzle 25. By providing the rotational speed of the twist imparting member 4 so as to be adjustable, the twist pattern of the twisted food dough DD can be adjusted.

また、切断装置７を捩じり成形装置１の下方に設けるよう説明したが、従来例のごとく搬送装置の途中に設けてもよい。捩じり成形装置１は、回転ノズルの下端から突設した捩じり付与部材が垂下する食品生地体及び捩じり食品生地体の重量の一部を分担して保持するものである。したがって、自重による食品生地体の伸びを抑制でき、重量の乱れを抑制したり、あるいは、引きちぎれによる切断を防止することが可能であり、さらには、捩じり成形された捩じり食品生地体を従来に比べ太く成形することができる。そして、捩じり食品ＤＥを安定して成形することができる。 Moreover, although the cutting device 7 was described as being provided below the twist forming device 1, it may be provided in the middle of the conveying device as in the conventional example. The twist forming apparatus 1 shares and holds a part of the weight of the food dough body and the twisted food dough body hanging from the torsion imparting member projecting from the lower end of the rotary nozzle. Accordingly, the elongation of the food dough body due to its own weight can be suppressed, the disturbance of the weight can be suppressed, or the cutting due to tearing can be prevented, and the twisted food dough body formed by twisting is further provided. Can be formed thicker than before. And twisted food DE can be formed stably.
