Japanese Patent Publication No. 32-3040

  However, food dough such as pizza is sticky, so if it has the basic structure as described above, for example, even if flour is spread on the surface of the dough, if the roller directly contacts the dough, the roller surface The dough sticks to it.

  If the fabric remains on the roller, there is a problem in terms of hygiene, and if the roller surface is not smooth, the manufactured fabric surface may be uneven.

  For this reason, the roller cleaning process must be performed frequently. However, it takes time for the cleaning process, and the dough production cannot be performed continuously and efficiently.

  Although the roller can be freely attached and removed, the work can be frequently changed, but the time required for the replacement also hinders the efficiency of the extension work. Therefore, it is desired from the market to provide a food dough forming machine that can perform hygienic and efficient spreading work.

  (1) In the present invention, a dish body on which a food dough material is placed, a frame body that can be raised and lowered with respect to the dish body and that can be horizontally rotated, and an axis of the frame body on the frame body It is pivotally pivoted to rotate while revolving around it, presses the fabric material when the frame is lowered, and rotates while revolving due to the rotation of the frame to level the fabric material. In a food dough forming machine comprising a plurality of rollers that can be extended, a cover body that covers the upper surface of the dough material is detachably attached to the dish body, and the dough is closed via the cover body that is closed Provided is a food dough forming machine that can press a material with the roller.

  (2) The present invention provides the food dough forming machine according to (1), wherein the dish body is detachably held, and the held dish body is separated from a lower position of the roller and a lower position of the roller. It is characterized by comprising a dish holding table that slides horizontally between the two.

  (3) The present invention is characterized in that the food dough forming machine according to the above (1) or (2) is provided with a plurality of types of dishes according to the shape of the food dough to be formed.

  (4) The present invention provides the food dough forming machine according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the roller presser is horizontally rotatable on the frame so that the lower surface is in contact with the peripheral surface of the roller. It is characterized by being attached to.

  According to the present invention, the cover body covering the dough material is detachably attached to the dish body, and the dough material can be pressed by the roller through the cover body, so that the food can be spread hygienically and efficiently. A dough forming machine can be provided.

  The food dough forming machine according to the present embodiment includes a dish body on which food dough material is placed, a frame body that can be raised and lowered with respect to the dish body, and a horizontally rotatable body. The dough is pivotably supported to rotate while revolving around the axis of the frame body, presses the fabric material when the frame body is lowered, and rotates while revolving due to the rotation of the frame body, and the dough In a food dough forming machine comprising a plurality of rollers capable of leveling and extending the material, a cover body covering the upper surface of the dough material is detachably attached to the dish body, and the covered cover body is closed The cloth material can be pressed by the roller.

  That is, a food dough forming machine that can easily stretch a lump of food dough (eg, pizza dough) mainly composed of flour into a flat state, and as a roller for pressing the dough material A conical roller conventionally used in this type of apparatus can be preferably used.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of such conical rollers are used, and the tapered ends are attached to the frame body that can be raised and lowered with respect to the dish body on which the dough is placed and that is horizontally rotatable. In this state, each roller is rotatably supported.

  The cover body, which is a feature of the present embodiment, is a sheet-like material made of a material that does not easily adhere to the cloth, and can be detachably attached to the dish body.

  Since the fabric is pressed and stretched through the cover body, the fabric does not adhere to the roller and the fabric manufacturing operation can be performed continuously, so that the work efficiency is improved.

  The tray body is detachably held and includes a dish body holding table that slides the held dish body horizontally between a lower position of the roller and a position spaced from the lower position of the roller. It is preferable that

  With this configuration, usability as a device is significantly improved. That is, the forward portion of the dough stretching operation is arranged by simply pulling the dish holding table forward, placing a lump of food dough on the dish, and pushing the dish holding table.

  Furthermore, it is more preferable to provide a plurality of types of dishes according to the shape of the food dough to be formed.

  That is, in the case of a circular shape like a visa dough, a circular dish is prepared, and if it is a polygon, a dish having a concave shape corresponding to that is prepared. At this time, for example, a receiving hole for holding the dish body in a mounted state is formed in the table, and a held portion having a common shape corresponding to the receiving hole is formed in each dish body. Good.

  In addition, the food dough forming machine can be configured such that a roller pressing body is attached to the frame body so as to be horizontally rotatable so that the lower surface abuts on the peripheral surface of the roller.

  That is, when the above-described roller is mounted on a frame, a configuration in which the shaft is cantilevered is generally used. In such a case, when the roller is pressed against the dough, the reaction force tends to bend upward, but by disposing the roller pressing body, the bend can be suppressed and the dough can be sufficiently pressed and leveled. . In addition, since the roller that revolves due to the rotation of the frame body is in contact with the fabric, it automatically rotates by its frictional force. And the rotation speed varies depending on the shape of the dough that comes into contact, but since the fastest rotation speed is transmitted to each roller via the roller pressing body, all the plurality of rollers have substantially the same rotation speed, The dough can be more efficiently stretched.

  Hereinafter, an example of the food dough forming machine according to the present embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the cover body 15 can be covered with the extending dough material M by a sheet-like material made of a material to which the dough material M is difficult to adhere, and can be pressed by rollers 59 and 59. Made of flexible material. The cover body 15 described above is configured to be detachable from the opening 14 of the upper lid 12, but the cover body 15 is mounted so as to cover the dish body 11 on which the bulk dough material M is placed. It is good also as such a usage form.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, on the left and right of the rear part of the machine frame 2, a lifting arm that is constructed by rising from the left and right rear of the machine frame 2 and bending forward and connecting the left and right free ends with a handle 56. 52 is pivotally connected. Moreover, the vertically movable pressing portion 5 is fixed with flat racks 54 and 54 in the vertical direction. The racks 54 and 54 are arranged at the base end of the lifting arm 52 pivotally supported on the rear portion of the machine frame 2. The provided arcuate pinions 53 and 53 are pivotably engaged with each other, and the up-and-down arm 52 is turned up and down from the pivotal support part 52a via the handle 56, thereby causing the arcuate pinion 53 and the rack 54 to pass through. The pressing part 5 is configured to move up and down.

  Here, the configuration of the pressing portion 5 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the pressing portion 5 includes an elevator frame 51, a substantially trapezoidal frame 50 that is connected to the elevator frame 51 and is formed in a downwardly expanding shape, and left and right sides of the frame 50. A pair of conical rollers 59 and 59 pivotally supported on the inner surface and a rotating shaft 57 suspended from the ceiling 81 of the frame 50 are pivoted horizontally so that the cones of the rollers 59 and 59 are provided. The roller presser 65 has an inverted truncated cone shape that abuts on the surface and presses the rollers 59 and 59 downward in a pressing manner.

  By the above-described pivoting operation of the lifting / lowering arm 52, the lifting / lowering machine frame 51 is lifted / lowered via the rack 54 provided continuously with the lifting / lowering machine frame 51 of the pressing unit 5 and the arcuate pinion 53 provided continuously with the proximal end of the lifting / lowering arm 52. In this way, the raising / lowering operation of the pressing portion 5 with respect to the fabric material M is performed. 51 a is a long hole that is formed on both side surfaces of the machine frame 2 and guides the elevator frame 51.

  Here, the structure which attaches the frame 50 to the elevator frame 51 is demonstrated. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a hollow rotary shaft 57 for making a rotatable double shaft structure is erected and fixed to the upper portion of the frame 50, and the rotary shaft 57 is a bearing 61. Are supported rotatably by upper and lower frames 51a and 51b that are horizontally mounted on the upper and lower portions of the elevator frame 51, and are linked to a drive motor 70 through a flat gear 60 formed on the peripheral surface. In other words, the rotation shaft 57 is rotated by the drive motor 70, and the frame 50 integrated with the rotation shaft 57 is also rotated. Inside the hollow rotary shaft 57, a middle shaft 67 is rotatably inserted. The middle shaft 67 extends the lower end and is a support shaft for the roller pressing body 65 disposed on the ceiling portion 81 of the lower frame 50. The upper end is pivotally supported by a cover case 51 c that covers the upper part of the elevator frame 51.

  The shaft support structure of the frame 50 and the rollers 59 and 59 is as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the frame 50 has a ceiling 81 formed substantially parallel to the dish 11 and swash plates 80, 80 disposed obliquely downward from both ends of the ceiling 81. The swash plate 80, 80 is provided with roller shafts 82, 82 extending in a direction perpendicular to the swash plate 80, 80. The rollers 59 and 59 are disposed on the shafts 82 and 82, respectively.

  The roller shafts 82, 82 are connected to the roller bottom surfaces 83 of the rollers 59, 59 so that the lower surfaces of the roller peripheral surfaces 85, 85 of the rollers 59, 59 are substantially parallel to the plate body 11 immediately above the plate body 11. 83 (corresponding to the bottom of the cone) is arranged from the substantially central portion toward the roller tops 84 and 84 (corresponding to the top of the cone), and therefore the lower surfaces 85 and 85 of the rollers 59 and 59 are provided on the pressing portion 5. Is arranged so as to press the dough material M placed on the plate body 11 in a surface contact state.

  The roller pressing body 65 described above is configured so that the peripheral surface 90 which is a part of the lower surface of the roller pressing body 65 comes into contact with the peripheral surfaces of the rollers 85 and 85 when the pressing portion 5 is lowered. It becomes possible to rotate horizontally while pressing the rollers 85 against the reaction force from the dough material M placed thereon.

  According to the configuration of the roller pressing body, when both the rollers 59 and 59 are pressed against the dough material M, the reaction material can suppress the upward bending and sufficiently press the dough material M and level it. . In addition, the rollers 59 and 59 that revolve due to the rotation of the frame 50 are driven by the frictional force because the fabric material M and the peripheral surfaces of the rollers 59 and 59 are in contact via the sheet-like cover body 15. It is possible to rotate around. The rotation speed varies depending on the shape of the cloth to be contacted, but the lower surface of the roller pressing body 65 is in contact with the circumferential surface of the rollers 59 and 59, and each roller 59 and 59 is fastest via the roller pressing body 65. Since the rotation speed is transmitted, both the rollers 59, 59 are all at substantially the same rotation speed, and the dough material M can be stretched more efficiently.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the drive unit 6 is disposed on the upper portion of the pressing unit 5, and the interlocking structure between the drive unit 6 and the rotating shaft 57 and the frame body 50 is as follows. . That is, the drive unit 6 includes a drive motor 70, a drive shaft 71 of the drive motor 70, and a flat gear 72 inserted and fixed to the drive shaft 71. The drive force from the drive motor 70 is coaxial with the drive shaft 71. Transmission is transmitted to the flat gear 60 of the frame 50 via the upper flat gear 72, and the frame 50 integrated with the rotary shaft 57 is driven to be horizontally rotatable. 73 is a bearing of the drive shaft 71.

  According to such a configuration, the dough material M does not adhere to the contact surfaces of the rollers 59 and 59 because the lump-like dough material M is pressed and extended through the cover 15, so Since the manufacturing operation can be performed continuously, the work efficiency of the dough stretching is improved. That is, when the dough material M is not covered with the cover body 15 and the dough material M is extended by the rollers 59 and 59 as in the prior art, the rollers 59 and 59 are removed and washed for each extension operation. Although the necessity arises, by attaching the cover body 15, the residue of the dough does not adhere to the rollers 59, 59, and the extension work can be performed continuously.

  In the present embodiment, the frame 50 is rotated by the driving force from the driving motor 70. However, when the rotational driving force of the rollers 59 and 59 for extending the dough material M is further improved, the roller 50 A mechanism for driving and rotating both the pressing body 65 and the frame body 50 may be provided in the space 40. For example, as such a mechanism, a gear that transmits a driving force from the driving motor 70 and a gear that is externally fitted to the center shaft 67 are disposed in the space 40 in the elevator frame 51 and meshed with the roller pressing body 65. It is good also as a structure which transmits a driving force directly.

  Next, the operation of the food dough forming machine in the case of forming a block dough material into a flat dough material will be described.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, before the dough material M is formed using the food dough forming machine 1, the opening 14 of the upper lid 12 described above is covered with a sheet-like cover body 15. Thereafter, the cover body 15 is stretched in a clamped state by the ring-shaped stopper 36.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5A, the dish holding table 10 is pulled out from the dough forming unit 4, the prepared dough material M is placed on the dish 11, and the bottom of the dish 11 is placed. By positioning the held portion 11 a and the receiving hole 31 on the dish holding table 10, the dish 11 and the dish holding table 10 are positioned. By closing the upper lid 12, the bulk dough material M on the dish body 11 is covered with the cover body 15.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the tray body holding table 10 is slid and inserted backward into the dough forming section 4 so that the rollers 59 and 59 are positioned above the dish body 11. When the start / stop switch 41 (see FIG. 1) is pressed to rotate the frame 50, the drive motor 70 starts rotating. At this time, the driving force from the drive motor 70 is transmitted to the flat gear 60 of the frame 50 via the flat gear 72 coaxial with the drive shaft 71, and the frame 50 integrated with the rotary shaft 57 is transferred to the dish 11. It is driven so that it can rotate horizontally at the top.

  Next, the frame 50 that is rotating by lowering the freely raising and lowering arm 52 presses the rotating rollers 59 and 59 while revolving so as to press the fabric material M through the cover body 15. It will be in contact. At this time, the arcuate pinion 53 disposed at the base of the lifting / lowering arm 52 is engaged with the rack 54 of the lifting / lowering machine frame 51, and the meshing position is moved according to the lifting / lowering operation of the lifting / lowering arm 52. Thus, the separation position of 11 is variable.

  At this time, both rollers 59 and 59 that revolve when the frame 50 integrated with the rotary shaft 57 interlocked with the drive unit 6 is in contact with the fabric material M via the sheet-like cover body 15. Therefore, it will automatically rotate by the frictional force. Further, both rollers 59, 59 are pressed against the roller pressing body 65, and the roller pressing body 65 suppresses the bending due to the reaction force when pressing the dough material M, and this roller pressing body 65. Since the fastest rotation speed is transmitted through the body 65, both the rollers 59, 59 all have substantially the same rotation speed, and the dough material M is smoothly stretched.

  When the flat dough material M is formed, the rollers 59 and 59 of the frame 50 are moved upward by moving the lifting arm 52 upward by performing the reverse operation of the lowering operation of the lifting arm 52. It will be separated from the body 11. The start / stop switch 41 is pressed to stop the rotation of the frame 50.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when the dish holding table 10 is pulled forward from the dough forming part 4 and the upper lid 12 is opened, the flat and outer peripheral shape is on the dish edge. The dough material M formed into a shape will be obtained. At this time, since the dough material M is formed through the cover body 15, the dough does not adhere to the rollers 59, 59. That is, the dough material M can be continuously formed by remounting the plate body 11 on which the lump dough material M is placed.

  For example, it becomes possible to use the food dough forming machine 1 of the present embodiment by changing the shape of the dish body in accordance with processing applications such as pizza and bread.

  Hereinafter, the shape of the dish will be described. FIG. 7A is a perspective view showing a circular dish, and FIG. 7B is a perspective view showing a square dish.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the circular dish body 11 is provided with a circular peripheral portion 20 and a circular recess 21. The circular pizza dough material M having a different size and thickness can be formed by changing the diameter and depth of the recess 21.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the rectangular dish body 11 is provided with an edge 22 that is rectangular and has a concave shape. By placing and forming a lump of dough material M on the dish 11, a square dough material M can be formed.

  For example, while using one food dough forming machine 1, pizza dough of various shapes can be extended, and even when pizza dough of different materials is continuously extended, By exchanging, the extension work can be easily performed with the same apparatus.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims.・ Change is possible.
