[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, flat baked goods (Fig. 4) were produced by hand by baking small pieces of sticky material (Fig. 3).

However, mass production cannot be done by hand,
The disadvantage was that labor costs were high.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a method for automatically manufacturing such flat baked goods using a machine.

Further, the sticky material 26 is sandwiched between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 and fired.

In this way, baked goods can be automatically produced.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a baked confectionery manufacturing apparatus used in an embodiment of the present invention.

The baked confectionery manufacturing apparatus includes an upper mold 1, a lower mold 2, a sticky material supply mechanism 3, a lower mold vertical movement mechanism 4, and a lower mold push-up mechanism 5.

The upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 each include a baking plate 6, a heater 7, and a heat insulating material 8, as shown in FIG. 2A.

The sticky material supply mechanism 3 includes a mechanism for placing the sticky material on the lower die 2 (glutinous material placing mechanism) and a mechanism for horizontally reciprocating this mechanism.

The former consists of an upper plate 9, a lower plate 10, and a shutter 11, each of which has the same number of small holes 12, the same shape, and the same arrangement.
13 and 14 are formed. The upper plate 9 and the lower plate 10 are fixed so that their respective small holes 12 and 13 are aligned. The shutter 11 is normally arranged to block communication between the small holes 12 and 13.

In the latter case, the rotation of the motor 15 is decelerated and the rack 16 and pinion 17 are used to reciprocate the holding material placing mechanism.

A steaming cam device 18 is used for the lower die vertical movement mechanism 4. This device converts the rotation of the motor 19 into vertical movement of the steaming bar 20, thereby vertically moving the entire lower die pushing mechanism 5. In conjunction with this, the lower die 2 is moved up and down. The amplitude and frequency of vertical motion can be set freely.

The lower mold push-up mechanism 5 includes a worm gear 2 that rotates by power transmission from a motor (not shown).
1. It is composed of a worm wheel 22, a disc 23 fixed coaxially with the worm wheel, a connecting rod 24 connected to the periphery of the disc 23, and a base 25 connected to the connecting rod 24. The lower mold 2 is attached to the upper surface of the base 25.

When the worm wheel 22 slowly rotates due to the rotation of the worm gear 21, the disk 23 rotates. Correspondingly, the connecting rod 24
The base 25 and the lower die 2 are gradually pushed up.

By operating simultaneously, the lower die vertical movement mechanism 4 and the lower die push-up mechanism 5 can gradually push up the lower die 2 while moving it up and down, and the mochi material 26
This is an essential mechanism for the process of spreading out (Fig. 2 E, F).

Next, a method for manufacturing baked confectionery using this baked confectionery manufacturing apparatus will be explained.

The rice cake material 26 used is a rice cake cut into an appropriate shape, and in this embodiment, it is approximately cubic.

(Figure 3) The manufacturing process is as shown in Figure 2. A Mochi material supply mechanism insertion process B Mochi material placement process C Mochi material supply mechanism separation process D Preheating process E Rough stretching process F Book stretching process Firing process G Product removal process It consists of each process.

A sticky material supply mechanism insertion step This is a step of inserting the sticky material supply mechanism 3 between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.

The sticky material 26 is inserted into the small hole 12 of the sticky material supply mechanism 3 and placed on the shutter 11. Then, the sticky material supply mechanism 3 is moved between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.

B Mochi material placement process Mochi material 26 is placed from the mochi material supply mechanism 3 into the lower mold 2
This is the process of placing it on top.

At the end of the movement, the sticky material supply mechanism 3
The shutter 11 comes into contact with the stopper 27, and when the mechanism 3 finishes moving, the upper plate 9 and the lower plate 10 come into contact. At this time, the small hole 14 of the shutter 11 matches the upper and lower small holes 12 and 13, and the sticky material 26 falls onto the lower mold 2.

C Mochi material supply mechanism detachment process This is a process of returning the mochi material supply mechanism 3 to its original position.

If the lower die 2 is left in position B, the sticky material 26 will be carried away when the sticky material supply mechanism 3 moves to the left. Therefore, after lowering the lower mold 2 once, the sticky material supply mechanism 3 is moved.

D Preheating process: Raise the lower mold 2 from position C and heat the mochi material 2.
6 is sandwiched between an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2, and the grilling plates 6 of the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2 are heated by a heater 7, and this is a process of heating the mochi material 26 from above and below.

The reason for preheating is that since the sticky material 26 has little water content and is relatively hard, it is preheated in advance to allow smooth rolling and rolling. If you try to forcefully stretch it before the temperature rises sufficiently, there is a risk that the sticky material 26 will crack. Preheating takes about 20 seconds. In addition, the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are
It is constantly heated during manufacturing.

E. Rough stretching process This is a process of gradually pushing up the lower die 2 by repeating pressurization and release while moving it up and down, thereby spreading and stretching the sticky material 26.

In this respect, it is common to the book elongation process, but in this process, the amplitude of the vertical movement is smaller and the vibration frequency is increased compared to the book elongation process. This is because the holding material 26 is still hard, so a large amount of pressure cannot be applied at once. This process takes about 5 seconds.

F. Rolling out process, firing process The book rolling process is a process in which the sticky material 26 is rolled out into a predetermined shape.

Since the sticky material 26 has been roughly rolled out and has become sufficiently soft, the amplitude of the vertical movement is large.
The vibration frequency is set low. This process is 5
It is about seconds.

After the book rolling process, the mochi material 26 is placed in the upper mold 1.
This is a step of sandwiching between the lower mold 2 and firing.
By firing, the sticky material 26 is expanded and, if necessary, its outer surface is browned. This process is 20
It is about seconds.

G Product Removal Process When the firing is finished, the lower mold 2 is lowered and the product is removed.

The baked confectionery 28, which is a product, has a form as shown in FIG.

Steps A to G are completed in 110 to 120 seconds.

Incidentally, the sticky material placing mechanism may be such that the upper plate 9 is omitted and the sticky material 26 is inserted into the small hole 14 of the shutter 11. Further, means for blocking communication between the small hole 12 of the upper plate 9 and the small hole 13 of the lower plate 10 by the shutter 11 is a spring or other means.

Further, the mold that moves up and down may be the upper mold 1.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention has the above configuration, it is possible to automatically spread and bake the sticky material 26 to produce a flat baked confectionery. Therefore, mass production of baked goods and labor saving can be achieved.
