Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application with application number 202210463508.X, application date April 28, 2022, priority date April 30, 2021, and invention name “Modular Baking Plate Device”. Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to a baking plate device, a baking plate system, a baking plate and a baking device according to the independent claims.

[0003] For the industrial production of waffle products, it is known to feed a substantially liquid waffle dough, which contains about 55% to 70% water in the unbaked state, into an open baking mold, wherein the baking mold is designed as a baking tong. Subsequently, after the baking material has been introduced, the baking tong is closed and conveyed through a heated baking chamber. By heating the baking mold and thus also the baking material, its volatile components evaporate. In this process, an increased pressure is generated in the baking tong, the force of which acts on the baking plates of the baking tong.

[0004] It is known that baking tongs comprise a baking tong frame on which baking plates are mounted. These baking tong frames are designed to be openable and closable, wherein two baking plates are mounted in the inner area, which form a baking mold. A disadvantage of this design is that the frame located outside influences the heating of the baking tongs from the outside.

[0005] The prior art also provides baking tongs with self-supporting baking plates without a baking plate frame. However, in the case of these self-supporting baking plates, there is the problem that complex adjustment mechanisms must be used to adjust the orientation of the baking plate and to counteract the expansion of the baking mold due to the pressure. These adjustment mechanisms usually also affect the uniform heating of the baking mold and the baking plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the baking plates and the end strips mounted thereon are subject to a certain degree of wear and tear and must therefore be replaced from time to time. Even in the case of a product change, in the case of baking tongs constructed in this way, the entire baking tongs must be replaced and not just the baking plates. Summary of the invention

[0040] -Or a baking sheet made of another material.

[0041] Preferably, the present invention relates to a baking plate which is adapted and / or suitable for use in a baking plate arrangement according to the present invention and / or in a baking plate system according to the present invention.

[0042] Preferably, the present invention relates to a baking device for making crispy wafers baked under overpressure from a baking mass containing 55%-70% water in the unbaked state, the baking device comprising a continuous conveyor and a plurality of baking plate devices according to the present invention arranged along the continuous conveyor, the baking plate devices being arranged side by side and each passing successively through:

[0043] - a baking material application area for applying baking material onto the opened baking plate arrangement,

[0044] - a closing area for closing the baking plate device,

[0045] a baking chamber for baking baked products in a closed baking plate arrangement, in which baking chamber at least one heating element for heating the baking plate arrangement located in the baking chamber is arranged,

[0046] - an opening area for opening the baking plate device,

[0047] - and a waffle removal area for removing baked waffles from the opened baking plate arrangement.

[0048] If appropriate, it is provided that the heating element acts directly on the back side of the baking plate facing it.

[0049] Where appropriate, the invention relates to a baking plate. The baking plate is adapted to form or at least define an overprinted baking mould with a second baking plate. The baking plate comprises a baking side facing the overprinted baking mould, a back side and an end side arranged between these two sides. Preferably, it is provided that the back side has a smaller area than the baking side. Preferably, it is provided that in the edge region of the baking plate, in particular at the end side, a converging section is provided to form a cross-sectional reduction of the baking plate, which is arranged between the baking side and the back side.

[0050] Additionally or alternatively to the converging section, the baking plate can comprise a shoulder in the edge region or a web or flange protruding in the main extension direction of the baking plate.

[0051] Preferably, a plurality of elements are provided in the edge region of the baking plate, which elements are part of an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly is suitable for and / or adapted to enable the position of the baking plate relative to the support frame to be selected and / or to enable the orientation of the baking plate relative to the support frame to be selected. In particular, the elements of the baking plate, which can be part of the adjustment assembly, are threaded holes or other elements that allow the baking plate to be adjusted by the adjustment means.

[0052] Preferably, the baking plate has a rectangular shape. Preferably, the elements of the adjustment assembly are arranged in the edge region of the baking plate along the two longer sides of the rectangular shape of the baking plate. In particular, the elements are arranged in a row. For example, two, three or more such elements are arranged on each side.

[0053] Preferably, the elements are arranged in webs which protrude in the edge region of the baking plate along the main extension direction of the baking plate.Preferably, these webs are connected to a converging section of the baking plate.

[0054] Preferably, the baking plate has a frame-shaped circumferential recess which extends from the back side toward the baking mold side into the baking plate. In particular, the webs and / or the convergent sections are formed by the frame-shaped recess. The frame-shaped recess serves to accommodate the support frame and / or to be connected to the support frame. Preferably, elements of the adjustment assembly are arranged in the frame-shaped recess.

[0055] Preferably, in all embodiments, elements of the adjustment arrangement are arranged only in the edge region of the baking plate.

[0056] The baking plate arrangement comprises two support frames and two baking plates mounted on the support frames. In particular, a baking plate system can be formed in which different baking plates can be optionally mounted on one support frame. The support frame can thus be used efficiently for different products, but also for different baking arrangements. In particular, the same support frame can be used, for example, for different types of heating. Only the baking plates have to be adapted to the corresponding heating. Even when changing products, for example when selecting another waffle sheet format, the same support frame can be used, wherein the baking plates are replaced in order to select a different format. Even in the event of wear of the baking plates, the entire baking plate arrangement does not have to be replaced, but the support frame and other components mounted on the support frame, such as running rollers, guide rollers and / or connecting devices, can continue to be used. Worn baking plates can be replaced individually.

[0057] This modularity enables a high degree of flexibility in selecting the area of ​​use of the baking plate device or baking plate system and thus also makes it possible to increase the efficiency of use.

[0058] This structure allows the materials of the support frame and the baking plate to be selected independently. Thus, a baking plate material can be selected that has a high thermal capacity and enables heat to be uniformly conducted or provided over the entire baking mould.

[0059] The baking plate and the support frame may consist of or be made of the same material to avoid differences in thermal expansion. However, it is also conceivable that the support frame is made of a different material than the baking plate.

[0060] In particular, the support frame can be made of cast iron, for example of ductile iron. The support frame is where appropriate assembled from profiles or cast in one piece. The baking plate is preferably made of cast iron, in particular of ductile iron.

[0061] The support frame is preferably configured in a frame-shaped manner and thus has a support frame interior space. The support frame interior space is in particular a space between elements that generate the frame shape. The support frame thus forms a window in which at least one section of the baking plate is arranged. In particular, the baking plate is inserted into the support frame interior space or arranged in the support frame interior space in such a way that it forms a heating surface, in particular an external heating surface of a baking plate device. It is advantageous here that the support frame extends only in the edge region of the baking plate. Here, the window preferably remains uncovered from the outside. A single, continuous window is preferably formed by the support frame, which is limited only in the edge region by the support frame. Therefore, the heat input of the heating device of the baking device can act on the back side of the baking plate from the outside without hindrance.

[0062] Here, the baking plate extends into the support frame interior, i.e. preferably between the elements forming the frame. In particular, the baking plate of the baking plate arrangement extends all the way into or through the respective support frame interior, so that the back side of the baking plate facing away from the overprinted baking mold forms the heating surface of the baking plate arrangement.

[0063] If appropriate, the back side of the baking plate is recessed in the inner space of the support frame. If appropriate, the back side of the baking plate is flush with the support frame. If appropriate, the back side of the baking plate protrudes from the corresponding support frame.

[0064] Preferably, it is provided that the baking plate is connected to the support frame only in the region of the support frame. Preferably, the baking plate is connected to the support frame only in the edge region.

[0065] Preferably, an adjustment assembly is provided, which allows the position and / or orientation of the baking plate to be adjusted relative to the support frame on which the baking plate is mounted. The adjustment assembly preferably comprises a plurality of adjustment means, such as adjustment screws. These adjustment means are preferably arranged on or in the support frame. For example, in all embodiments, the adjustment means extend through the support frame into the respective baking plate. This prevents the adjustment means from influencing the heat conduction, in particular from partially covering the back side of the baking plate.

[0066] Preferably, a plurality of adjustment means are arranged in the direction of the support frame. Thus, the position of the baking plate and, if appropriate, also the direction of the baking plate can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment means individually. For example, each baking plate or each support frame can have four, six or more adjustment means.

[0067] Preferably, in all embodiments, it is provided that the baking plate is connected to the support frame via an adjustment assembly. This can save the use of additional connecting elements, thereby simplifying the structure. In addition, this can save further connecting elements that interfere with heat conduction.

[0068] Preferably, the baking plate is designed such that it transfers the heat brought about by the heating device of the baking device to the baking mold as evenly as possible.

[0069] Optionally, improved and in particular uniform heating of the baking plates can also be achieved in that the baking plates have on their end sides each a section which converges outwards towards the back side. Preferably, it is provided that the back side of the baking plate has a smaller surface extension, in particular a smaller surface dimension (length×width), than the opposite inner side of the baking plate. Furthermore, it is provided, if appropriate, that the baking plate at least partially covers the support frame on the inner side.

[0070] In principle, it is important that the edge regions of the inner side of the baking plate and / or the overprint baking mold are also sufficiently heated. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the baking plate is widened at least in sections starting from its back side. For example, the baking plate can have sections in the shape of truncated square pyramids. Alternatively, the baking plate can have stepped sections or rounded sections.

[0071] Preferably, the support frame or the support frame interior is adapted to the shape of the baking plate, in particular to the shape of the converging sections of the baking plate.

[0072] The support frame is preferably configured as a bending support for receiving the pressure generated during baking in the overprint baking mold (i.e., overpressure baking mold). The baking plates of the overprint baking mold are respectively mounted on the support frame. The two support frames of the baking plate device are connected or can be connected to each other on both sides of the baking plate by connecting devices. During baking, the two support frames are fixedly connected to each other on both sides by connecting devices. The pressure generated between the baking plates in the overprint baking mold (i.e., overpressure baking mold) acts on the two support frames through the baking plates. Here, the support frame is subjected to bending stress between the two connecting devices and thus acts as a bending support. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0081] Unless otherwise stated, the reference numerals in the drawings correspond to the following components: support frame 1, support frame interior 2, baking plate 3, connecting device 4, back side (of baking plate) 5, edge area (of baking plate) 6, window 7, convergence section (of baking plate) 8, convergence section (of support frame) 9, adjustment assembly 10, adjustment device 11, hinge 12, locking device 13, end strip 14, continuous conveyor 15, baking material application area 16, closing area 17, baking chamber 18, heating assembly 19, opening area 20, waffle removal area 21.

[0082] Figure 1A schematic cross-sectional view of a baking device is shown, which is particularly configured as an oven for industrially making waffles. The basic structure of these baking devices is known. However, such baking devices can be improved by using a baking plate device according to the invention and / or a baking plate system according to the invention.

[0083] The baking device comprises a continuous conveyor 15 on which a plurality of baking plate devices are mounted side by side. The continuous conveyor 15 may be, for example, a chain or other suitable continuous conveyor 15. Figure 1 In the simplified illustration of FIG. 1 , not all baking plate arrangements of a baking device are shown, but only a few baking plate arrangements of the baking device are shown.

[0084] The baking plate arrangement is conveyed through a plurality of zones in the baking device. In particular, the baking plate arrangement is conveyed through a baking mass application zone 16, in which a wafer baking mass is applied to the unfolded baking plate arrangement. This is usually done by a conventional dough dumper. Baking mass suitable for making waffles in the sense of the present invention contains about 55% to 70% water and is therefore essentially liquid in the unbaked state.

[0085] After the baking material has been applied in the baking material application area 16 , the baking plate arrangement is closed in the closing area 17 and then locked in this closed position.

[0086] Subsequently, the baking plate arrangement is conveyed through a baking chamber 18. A heating assembly 19 is arranged in the baking chamber 18. The heating assembly 19 is adapted for heating the baking chamber 18, but mainly the baking plate arrangement.

[0087] When passing through the baking chamber 18, the baking plate arrangement is preferably turned from the upper transport level to the lower transport level. When passing through the heated baking chamber 18, the baking plate arrangement is heated. In this process, volatile components of the baking material arranged in the baking plate arrangement, in particular the water content of the baking material, evaporate. Due to the expansion of the water vapor, an overpressure is formed in the overprint baking mold (i.e., overpressure baking mold) formed between the baking plates 3, the pressure of which acts on the baking plate arrangement.

[0088] Subsequently, the baking plate device is opened in the opening area 20, and the finished baked waffles can be taken out in the waffle taking-out area 21. Then, this production cycle starts again.

[0089] Figure 2A schematic oblique view of components of a baking plate device is shown. The baking plate device comprises two support frames 1. The two support frames 1 each have a support frame inner space 2. The support frame inner space 2 is a space between elements of the support frame 1 that form a frame shape. In addition, the baking plate device comprises two baking plates 3. The two baking plates 3 are each mounted on one of the support frames 1.

[0090] In particular, the baking plate 3 is mounted on the support frame 1 in such a way that at least one section of the baking plate 3 protrudes into the support frame interior 2 or passes through the support frame interior.

[0091] The support frames 1 each have a window 7. The window 7 opens the support frame interior 2 to the outside, in particular in the direction of the heating element 19. The baking plate 3, in particular its back side 5, is left uncovered by the window 7, so that the heating element of the baking machine can transfer heat energy to the back side 5 or the baking plate 3 without interference. Figure 2 As shown, the baking plate 3 projects into the support frame interior 2 so that the baking plate 3, in particular its back side 5, is approximately flush with the support frame 1. If appropriate, the baking plate 3 projects beyond the support frame 1 to a certain extent, or the baking plate 3 is sunken to a certain extent in the support frame 1.

[0092] The baking plates 3 are each connected to the support frame 1 via an adjustment device 11. The adjustment device 11 is part of an adjustment assembly 10. The adjustment assembly 10 enables the baking plates 3 to be positioned relative to the support frame 1. On the one hand, the exact position of the baking plates 3 relative to the support frame 1 can thereby be selected. However, it is also preferred that the orientation of the baking plates 3 can also be selected. Thus, in Figure 2 For example, the two central adjustment elements 11 can be adjusted in order to bend the baking plate 3 .

[0093] The two support frames 1 are connected or connectable to each other via a connection device 4. In the present embodiment, the connection device 4 is configured as a hinge 12. The other connection device 4 is configured as a locking device 13. Thus, the baking plate arrangement can be unfolded and folded. In its closed position, the baking plate arrangement can be locked by the locking device 13 and thus securely closed, in particular in order to counteract the pressure generated between the baking plates 3 during baking in an overprint baking mold, i.e. an overpressure baking mold.

[0094] In the present embodiment, the support frame 1 and the window 7 have a rectangular shape. The adjustment means 11 of the adjustment assembly 10 extend through the respective support frame 1. Thus, no additional tabs or connecting means are provided, which would affect the heat input on the back side 5 of the baking plate 3.

[0095] Figure 3a and 3bA baking plate arrangement is shown, in particular Figure 2 2. The components marked with reference numerals correspond essentially to the components of the baking plate device of FIG. Figure 2 The baking plates 3 are each covered outwardly by the respective support frame 1 only in their edge region 6. In particular, the baking plates 3 are connected to the support frame 1 only in their edge region 6.

[0096] The baking plates 3 each comprise an outwardly converging section 8. In particular, the heat energy introduced onto the back side 5 of the baking plate 3 can thereby be uniformly conducted to the opposite side of the baking plate 3, so that the overprinted baking mold formed between the two baking plates 3 is also uniformly heated.

[0097] Furthermore, in all embodiments, the baking plate 3 can be centered on the supporting frame 1 by means of this converging section 8 , if appropriate.

[0098] Preferably, the support frames 1 also each have a converging section 9. These converging sections are in particular adapted to the converging sections 8 of the baking plates 3. The converging sections 8 of the baking plates 3 are each arranged on an end face of the baking plates 3.

[0099] Figure 4 and Figure 5 A schematic cross-sectional view is shown, wherein the cross-sectional lines correspond to, for example, Figure 3a The section line of Figure 4 and Figure 5 End strips 14 are provided in the baking plate 3, as is common in baking plate arrangements of the general type. These end strips 14 are preferably designed as sealing strips and / or steam strips and seal the overprinted baking mold during the baking process so that the desired baking effect is achieved. These end strips 14 are preferably mounted on one of the baking plates 3. Such end strips 14 are preferably provided in all embodiments.

[0100] Additionally, in Figure 4 and 5 , how the adjustment assembly 10, in particular its adjustment means 11, can be constructed. Thus, the adjustment assembly 10 comprises a plurality of adjustable sleeves and a plurality of threaded screws arranged in these sleeves. By means of these elements, the baking plate 3 can be fixedly connected to the support frame 1 in a selectable orientation.

[0101] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The baking plate arrangement of is different in particular in the design of the back side 5 of the baking plate 3. Thus, Figure 4 The baking plate 3 has a substantially smooth (flat, e.g. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4) on the back side 5. Such baking plates 3 have, for example, a relatively large volume and therefore a high heat storage capacity. In particular, these baking plates 3 lead to a slower control behavior and / or can lead to a uniform energy input to the overprinted baking mold or the baked goods located in the overprinted baking mold.

[0102] on the contrary, Figure 5 Baking plates 3 are shown which have a ribbed pattern at their back side 5. As a result, the surface area of ​​the back side 5 of the baking plate 3 is increased. For example, such a baking plate 3 has a relatively small volume and therefore has a smaller heat storage capacity than a solid baking plate 3. A baking plate 3 having a ribbed pattern on its back side 5 can be heated faster due to its smaller heat storage capacity. In addition, such a baking plate 3 has a larger heat exchange area on its back side 5.

[0103] Figure 6 A further embodiment of a baking plate arrangement is shown in an oblique view. The elements marked with reference numerals correspond substantially to the previously described elements. In this embodiment, the baking plates 3, in particular the back sides 5 of the two baking plates 3, are configured in a honeycomb shape. The honeycomb mold improves, for example, heat conduction, heat transfer, but also the distribution of heat on the overprinted baking mold.

[0104] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a support frame 1 is shown. All embodiments can preferably be configured as a baking plate system, in which different baking plates 3 can be optionally connected to the support frame 1. In this illustration, it is schematically shown that a baking plate 3 can be replaced by a larger baking plate 3, for example in order to change the product format. However, if appropriate, a baking plate 3 previously connected to the support frame 1 has been worn, and can be replaced by a new baking plate 3 of the same structure.
