Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a confectionery molding device for molding confectionery dough. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, confectioneries such as crackers and cookies have been decorated with various contours and patterns. The patterns on the surface of the confectioneries are formed by pressing and transferring a convex mold shaped like the desired pattern onto the confectionery dough. In general, when cutting out dough for cookies, crackers, etc., the dough is flattened with a rolling pin or the like, and then cut out with a cutting die. The techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are known as such methods for embossing cookies.

[0003] The technology of Patent Document 1 involves a support base with a height adjustment screw that passes through it and protrudes downward, a stamping die for stamping a pattern is removably fitted to the lower end of the height adjustment screw, the height adjustment screw is adjusted to a height that will allow the stamping part of the stamping die to penetrate the cookie base when the stamping part of the stamping die is set on the dough according to the thickness of the cookie dough, multiple support shafts with compression springs wound around them are arranged above the support base, the lower ends of which are fitted with a die that penetrates the support base for a die and cuts out the outline shape of the cookie, the upper ends of the multiple adjustment screws are fixed to a pressure plate located above and parallel to the support base, and the height of the lower end of the die is adjusted by the support shaft that rises and falls so that it is positioned above the stamping part of the die, and when the pressure plate is pressed downward against the spring wound around the support shaft, the support shaft also descends, and the die cuts the cookie dough according to the shape of the die.

[0004] In the technology of Patent Document 1, the embossing process using a stamping die to imprint the pattern and the cutting process using a cutting die to create the various contour shapes are carried out in separate processes.This means that in the initial embossing process, where pressure is applied from above, the lateral extension of the dough is not restricted by the cutting frame, and in the next process the contours are punched out and cut, thereby avoiding the effects of the dough extending into the pattern recesses on the surface of the confectionery.

[0005] However, in the mold of Patent Document 1, the pattern portion is first pressed into the fabric, and then the contour is cut off when the mold is pressed further and exceeds the elastic force of the compression spring, so the user cannot feel the reaction force from the fabric when the mold is pressed, and it is difficult to adjust the pressing force for each fabric, as is the case with manual work.In addition, the mold has many parts and a complex and large mechanism, which increases the parts and processing costs of the mold.

[0006] The technology of Patent Document 2 is a molding die consisting of a mold cavity that is open at the top and bottom and has an arbitrary inner shape, and an insertion part that is freely inserted and removed from the mold cavity and has a bottom surface shape similar to the mold cavity, and that applies pressure to the edible molded product in the mold cavity.

[0007] In the technology of Patent Document 2, an appropriate amount of kneaded dough is fed into each cavity of the female mold. Then, the male mold is placed over the female mold. At this time, the protrusion and receiving parts of the male mold are aligned so that the insertion part of the male mold matches the shape of the cavity of the female mold and overlaps it. After that, the male mold is pressed down with an appropriate pressure, and the dough is pressed by the insertion part 7, completing the insertion of the insertion part into the cavity, forming the outline of the dough and forming a predetermined uneven pattern on the surface of the dough.

[0008] However, while the mold of Patent Document 2 does not produce excess dough outside the contour, it is necessary to supply an appropriate amount of dough into the multiple mold cavities of the female mold, which requires the work of measuring the dough. Also, in order to reduce springback after embossing the dough, it is necessary to use highly elastic dough, but in order for the dough supplied into the mold cavities of the female mold to reach every corner of the mold cavities and form the contour, the male mold needs to be pressed down strongly, which requires a lot of force when pushing by hand, reducing workability.

[0009] [Patent Document 1] JP 2021-114924 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2000-236801 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a simple manual confectionery molding device that allows easy manual adjustment of the pressing strength of the mold, transfers fine patterns to highly elastic confectionery dough, and allows for the production of crackers with intricate patterns with high workability. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] [1] A confectionery molding machine for molding confectionery dough, The dough has a viscosity and thickness that allows it to be deformed by being pressed, A hand-held contour cutter that is hand-held and operated to cut the contour of the fabric; The cloth cutting machine is characterized in that it further comprises a hand-held pattern transfer device which is provided separately from the hand-held contour cutter and which is held and operated by hand to form a pattern on the fabric.

[0012] According to this configuration, the confectionery molding machine includes a hand-held contour cutter that cuts the contour of the dough by being held by hand, and a hand-held pattern transfer machine that is provided separately from the hand-held contour cutter and that forms a pattern on the dough by being held by hand. Therefore, by separating the contour cutter and the pattern transfer machine and performing cutting and pattern transfer in two separate steps, it is possible to transfer and mold a fine pattern while finely adjusting by hand in each separate step. Furthermore, since the contour cutter and the pattern transfer machine can be held by hand, it is easy to manually adjust the pressing condition of the mold. In this way, the present invention provides a simple manual confectionery molding machine that can transfer a fine pattern to a highly elastic confectionery dough and manufacture crackers with a fine pattern with high workability. By separating the hand-held contour cutter (frame mold) 20 and the hand-held pattern transfer machine (stamp mold) 30, the cutting process and the embossing process are independent, improving manufacturing efficiency. Furthermore, the confectionery molding machine can be made suitable for dough that is highly elastic and thin compared to normal cookie dough.

[0013] [2] Preferably, the handheld contour cutter comprises a flat cutting body plate which serves as the main body, and a cutting mold section which protrudes from the cutting body plate and presses downward from above against the dough placed on a table to cut the contour of the confectionery.

[0014] According to this configuration, the handheld contour cutter is equipped with a flat cutting body plate which serves as the main body, and since the cutting body plate is flat, it can be held with both hands and the pressing force of the die can be easily adjusted, and the cutting body plate can be operated as if it were being held in the hand, allowing the fabric placed on the table to be easily cut.

[0015] [3] Preferably, the hand-held pattern transfer device includes a flat pattern body plate that serves as a main body, and a pattern mold part that protrudes from the pattern body plate and presses the pattern of the fabric placed on a stand from above downward to form the pattern, The handheld contour cutter has a pattern-shaped portion through-hole formed in the cutting body plate, the through-hole opening following the shape of the pattern-shaped portion.

[0016] According to this configuration, the hand-held pattern transfer device has a flat pattern body plate as the main body, so that if it is flat, it can be held with both hands and the pressing force of the mold can be easily adjusted, and crackers with fine patterns can be manufactured with high workability. Furthermore, the pattern body plate is provided with a pattern mold part that protrudes and presses downwardly against the pattern of the dough placed on the table to form the pattern, so that the pattern body plate can be operated with a sense of holding it in the hand to transfer a fine pattern to the highly elastic confectionery dough, and crackers with fine patterns can be manufactured. Furthermore, the hand-held contour cutter has a pattern mold part through hole formed in the cutting body plate that opens along the shape of the pattern mold part, so that if the pattern mold part is passed through the pattern mold part through hole, the pattern can be transferred to the exact position of the dough without deviation.

[0017] [4] Preferably, the hand-held pattern transfer device has a guide portion on the pattern body plate that is guided along an edge of the cutting body plate.

[0018] According to this configuration, the hand-held pattern transfer device has a guide portion on the pattern main plate that is guided along the edge of the cutting main plate, so that even if the hand-held contour cutter and the hand-held pattern transfer device are separated, the guide portion can easily guide the hand-held pattern transfer device to an accurate position relative to the hand-held contour cutter, and crackers with fine patterns can be manufactured with high workability.

[0019] [5] Preferably, the thickness of the cutting body plate is smaller than the protruding length of the pattern portion from the pattern body plate.

[0020] According to this configuration, the thickness of the cutting body plate is smaller than the protruding length of the pattern-shaped portion from the pattern body plate, so that the pattern can be transferred to an appropriate depth simply by abutting the pattern body plate against the cutting body plate, and crackers having fine patterns can be produced with high workability.

[0021] [6] Preferably, the handheld contour cutter has a plurality of through holes, each of which is equal in number to the cutting die portion and the pattern die portion; The hand-held pattern transfer device is provided with the same number of pattern mold portions as the number of cut mold portions.

[0022] According to this configuration, the hand-held contour cutter is provided with the same number of cutting mold sections and pattern mold section through holes, and the hand-held pattern transfer device is provided with the same number of pattern mold sections as cutting mold sections, so that multiple individual confectioneries can be taken out, improving workability.

[0023] [7] Preferably, the handheld contour cutter has a cutting body plate that is elongated on one side and has handles on both longitudinal ends.

[0024] With this configuration, the handheld contour cutter has a cutting body plate that is long on one side and handles on both longitudinal ends, so that the left and right handles can be grasped with both hands to operate it, improving workability and allowing the pressing strength of the mold to be easily adjusted manually. This allows a fine pattern to be transferred to the highly elastic confectionery dough, making it possible to manufacture crackers with fine patterns with high workability. Effect of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. EXAMPLES

[0028] As shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the confectionery molding device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention molds confectionery dough. The confectionery dough 50 (see Fig. 6) has a viscosity and thickness that allows it to be deformed by pressing, and is, for example, dough 50 for crackers, and is cut and a pattern is transferred in a state where it is stretched substantially flat with a dough stretching rod. The material of the dough 50 is, for example, wheat flour, soy milk, sesame oil, baking powder, rice flour, millet, salt, etc. Note that the dough in the embodiment is for crackers, but this is only one example, and as long as it has appropriate elasticity, it is not limited to crackers, and any type of confectionery such as cookies may be used. The above-mentioned dough materials are also only one example, and any material may be mixed as long as it is for confectionery and has appropriate elasticity.

[0029] The confectionery molding device 10 is equipped with a hand-held contour cutter 20 that cuts the contour of the dough 50 by being held by hand, and a hand-held pattern transfer device 30 that is provided separately from the hand-held contour cutter 20 and that forms (transfers) a pattern onto the dough 50 by being held by hand. Figure 1 shows the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 stacked on the hand-held contour cutter 20.

[0030] Next, the handheld contour cutter 20 will be described. The hand-held contour cutter 20 comprises a main body, a long, flat cutting body plate 21 formed on one side, and a cutting mold section 22 which protrudes from the cutting body plate 21 and presses downward from above against dough 50 placed on a stand 60 (see Figure 7) to cut the contour of the confectionery.

[0031] Furthermore, the handheld contour cutter 20 is provided with a pattern-shaped through hole 23 formed in the cutting body plate 21 and opening along the shape of a pattern-shaped part 32 described later, an air hole 24 formed in the cutting body plate 21 for releasing air during cutting, and a handle 25 provided at both ends of the cutting body plate in the longitudinal direction and opening at the inner center. The air hole 24 also serves as a hole-making guide for so-called gas venting. The air hole 24 (gas venting hole) is that cracker dough has less oil than cookie dough and gas accumulates due to the influence of the leavening agent, resulting in lumpy dough. The air hole 24 (gas venting hole) is originally a gas venting hole that is opened all over the cracker, but in order to suppress deformation only at the four corners, holes can be made with a bamboo skewer using the air hole 24 as a guide, which allows holes to be made in the same position on every cracker, thereby avoiding mistakes due to shaking of the hand.

[0032] Next, the handheld pattern transfer device 30 will be described. The handheld pattern transfer device 30 comprises a pattern body plate 31 which serves as the main body and is a long, flat pattern body formed on one side, and a pattern mold section 32 which protrudes from the pattern body plate 31 and presses downwardly against a pattern 54 (see Figure 8) of a fabric 50 placed on a stand 60 to form (transfer) the pattern.

[0033] Furthermore, the handheld pattern transfer device 30 is provided with air holes 33 formed in the pattern body plate 31 for letting air escape when forming (transferring) the pattern 54, a guide portion 34 provided on the pattern body plate 31 and guided along the edge of the cutting body plate 21, and grip handles 35 provided on both longitudinal ends of the pattern body plate 31.

[0034] 4 and 5, the thickness L1 of the cutting body plate 21 is smaller than the protruding length L2 of the pattern-shaped portion 32 from the pattern body plate 31. The thickness L1 of the cutting body plate 21 is smaller than the protruding length L2 of the pattern-shaped portion 32 from the pattern body plate 31. In addition, the protruding amount of the pattern-shaped portion 32 from the cutting body plate 21 when the pattern body plate 31 is abutted against the cutting body plate 21 is smaller than the protruding length L3 of the cutting body portion 22 from the cutting body plate 21.

[0035] Therefore, by simply abutting the pattern body plate 31 against the cutting body plate 21, the pattern mold part 32 can be protruded from the cutting body plate 21, and the pattern can be transferred to an appropriate depth on the dough 50, so that crackers having a fine pattern can be manufactured with high workability.

[0036] In addition, the confectionery molding device 10 has the same number and plurality of cutting mold sections 22 and pattern mold section through holes 23 in the hand-held contour cutter 20, and the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 has the same number of pattern mold sections 32 as the cutting mold sections 22. This makes it possible to obtain a plurality of individual confectionery pieces.

[0037] Next, the order in which the confectionery molding tool 10 is pressed against the dough 50 will be described. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the hand-held contour cutter 20 is moved from above to below as shown by arrow (1) and pressed against dough 50 that has been stretched out approximately flat by a dough rolling pin on a table 60. A portion of the dough 50 is cut into the contour shape of a confectionery by the cutting mold part 22 of the hand-held contour cutter 20. Cutting the dough 50 requires force, but the hand-held contour cutter 20 has handles 25 on both ends, making it easy to hold and press with force.

[0038] Next, the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 is moved from above to below as shown by the arrow (2) with respect to the hand-held contour cutter 20 pressed against the fabric 50, and the guide part 34 is pressed along the edge of the hand-held contour cutter 20. At this time, the pattern-shaped part 32 of the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 passes through the pattern-shaped part through-hole 23 of the hand-held contour cutter 20 and is pressed against the fabric 50, and the pattern is transferred to the fabric 50.

[0039] At this time, the pattern-shaped portion 32 of the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 is located below the pattern main body plate 31 (the back side of the pattern main body plate 31 when viewed from the worker's line of sight), so the below of the pattern main body plate 31 cannot be seen, and if there was no guide portion 34, it would be difficult to pass the pattern-shaped portion 32 through the pattern-shaped portion through hole 23. However, since there is the guide portion 34, even if the below of the pattern main body plate 31 cannot be seen, it is possible to easily align and pass the pattern-shaped portion 32 through the pattern-shaped portion through hole 23.

[0040] In addition, the hand-held contour cutter 20 and the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 are formed in a rectangular shape that is long in one direction (horizontally relative to the worker), so that when the worker extends both hands 61 forward, they are positioned just right at both lateral ends of the hand-held contour cutter 20 and the hand-held pattern transfer device 30, making it easy to hold the hand-held contour cutter 20 and the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 with both hands and easily making fine adjustments such as the amount of force applied.

[0041] Furthermore, after the pattern is transferred to the fabric 50, the handle 25 on the hand-held contour cutter 20 located below allows the knob handle 35 of the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 to be lifted and removed upward while holding the handle 25 downward to prevent the fabric 50 from floating. At this time, the inside center of the handle 25 is open, making it easy to pick up the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 while holding down the hand-held contour cutter 20. Thereafter, the handle 25 can be held and the hand-held contour cutter 20 can be moved upward and removed.

[0042] In this way, by fixing the handheld contour cutter 20 and the handheld pattern transfer device 30 without removing them at the same time, it is possible to prevent the unbaked cut dough 51 from sticking to the mold and being removed together when removing the mold. This is particularly effective when the dough 50 is cracker dough, because cracker dough contains less oil than cookie dough, is thinner than cookie dough, and has higher viscosity than cookie dough, and in addition, the pattern mold part 32 of the handheld pattern transfer device 30 has a large surface area and is therefore prone to sticking to the mold and being removed together with it.

[0043] Next, the cut and pattern-transferred fabric 50 will be described. 8, the cut and pattern-transferred dough 50 comprises pre-baked cut dough 51 which will become the confectionery portion, pre-baked excess portion 52 left around the pre-baked cut dough 51, cutting lines 53 between the pre-baked cut dough 51 and the pre-baked excess portion 52 which will become the outline of the confectionery, and a pattern 54 formed on the pre-baked cut dough 51. In this example, the pre-baked cut dough 51 is for four pieces.

[0044] Next, the baked confectionery 55 will be described. As shown in Fig. 9, baked confectionery 55 has a rectangular shape and clearly formed pattern 54. In this example, four pieces of pre-baked cut dough 51 are taken and baked, and by changing the pattern of each of the four pieces, the design of baked confectionery 55 can be improved.

[0045] Next, the cross-sectional function of the confectionery molding device 10 will be described. As shown in Fig. 10(A), fabric 50 is stretched substantially flat with a fabric stretching rod, and then prepared for embossing by the hand-held contour cutter 20 and the hand-held pattern transfer device 30. At this time, the cutting mold unit 22 is placed below the hand-held contour cutter 20. Also, the pattern mold unit 32 is placed below the hand-held pattern transfer device 30.

[0046] As shown in Figure 10(B), the hand-held contour cutter 20 is pressed into the dough 50. Then, the cutting die portion 22 cuts the dough 50 into the contour shape of the confectionery.

[0047] As shown in Fig. 10(C), with the hand-held contour cutter 20 pressed into the fabric 50, the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 is pressed against it. At this time, the guide portion 34 can guide the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 to a good position on the hand-held contour cutter 20, and the pattern mold portion 32 can be easily guided into the pattern mold portion through hole 23. When the pattern main body plate 31 of the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 is abutted against the cutting main body plate 21, this position becomes just the right position for transferring the pattern, and the pattern mold portion 32 is pressed into the fabric 50 to an appropriate depth, transferring the pattern.

[0048] As shown in Figure 10 (D), when the confectionery molding tool 10 is removed from the dough 50, the dough 50 is divided into pre-baked cut dough 51 and pre-baked excess portion 52 along a cutting line (the outline of the confectionery) 53, and a pattern 54 is formed on the pre-baked cut dough 51.

[0049] The operation and effects of the confectionery molding device 10 described above will now be described. In the embodiment of the present invention, the confectionery molding machine 10 is equipped with a hand-held contour cutter 20 that cuts the contour (cutting line 50) of the dough 50 by being held by hand, and a hand-held pattern transfer machine 30 that is provided separately from the hand-held contour cutter 20 and forms a pattern 54 on the dough 50 by being held by hand. Therefore, by separating the contour cutter 20 and the pattern transfer machine 30 and performing cutting and pattern transfer in two separate steps, it is possible to transfer and mold a fine pattern while finely adjusting it by hand in each individual step. Furthermore, since the contour cutter 20 and the pattern transfer machine 30 can be held by hand, it is easy to manually adjust the pressing condition of the mold. In this way, the present invention can provide a simple manual confectionery molding machine that can transfer a fine pattern to a highly elastic confectionery dough and manufacture crackers with a fine pattern with high workability. By separating the hand-held contour cutter (frame mold) 20 and the hand-held pattern transfer machine (stamp mold) 30, the cutting process and the embossing process are independent, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the confectionery molding tool can be made suitable for dough that is highly elastic and thin compared to ordinary cookie dough.

[0050] Furthermore, since the handheld contour cutter 20 is provided with a flat cutting body plate 21 which serves as the main body, the flat shape allows the user to hold it with both hands and easily adjust the pressing force of the die, and the user can operate the cutting body plate 21 as if holding it in his / her hands, and easily cut the fabric 50 placed on the table 60.

[0051] Furthermore, the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 is provided with a flat pattern main body plate 31 as the main body, so that if it is flat, it can be held with both hands and the pressing force of the mold can be easily adjusted, and crackers with fine patterns can be manufactured with high workability. Furthermore, the pattern main body plate 31 is provided with a pattern mold part 32 that is provided protruding from the pattern main body plate 31 and presses the pattern of the dough 50 placed on the table from above to below to form the pattern, so that the pattern main body plate 31 can be operated with a sense of holding it in one's hand to transfer a fine pattern to the highly elastic confectionery dough 50, thereby making crackers with fine patterns. Furthermore, the hand-held contour cutter 20 is provided with a pattern mold part through hole 23 that opens along the shape of the pattern mold part 32 in the cutting main body plate 21, so that if the pattern mold part 32 is passed through the pattern mold part through hole 23, the pattern can be transferred to the exact position of the dough 50 without deviation.

[0052] Furthermore, the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 is provided with a guide section 34 on the pattern main body plate 31 which is guided along the edge of the cutting main body plate 21, so that even if the hand-held contour cutter 20 and the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 are separated, the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 can be easily guided to an accurate position relative to the hand-held contour cutter 20 by the guide section 34, and crackers having fine patterns can be manufactured with high workability.

[0053] Furthermore, since the thickness of the cutting body plate 21 is smaller than the length of protrusion of the pattern-shaped portion from the pattern body plate 31, the pattern 54 can be transferred to an appropriate depth simply by abutting the pattern body plate 31 against the cutting body plate 21, and crackers having a fine pattern can be manufactured with high workability.

[0054] Furthermore, the hand-held contour cutter 20 is provided with the same number and plurality of cutting mold sections 22 and pattern mold section through holes 23, and the hand-held pattern transfer device 30 is provided with the same number of pattern mold sections 32 as the cutting mold sections 22, so that a plurality of individual confectioneries can be taken, improving workability.

[0055] Furthermore, the handheld contour cutter 20 has a cutting body plate 21 that is long on one side and has handles 25 on both ends, so that the left and right handles 25 can be grasped with both hands to operate it, improving workability and allowing the pressing strength of the mold to be easily adjusted manually. This allows a fine pattern to be transferred to the highly elastic confectionery dough 50, making it possible to manufacture crackers with fine patterns with high workability.

[0056] In the embodiment, the handheld pattern transfer device 30 is provided with four pattern mold portions 32 so as to be able to take out four pieces of candy, however, this is not limited to this and it is also possible to take one, two or five pieces of candy, and any method of taking individual pieces of candy is acceptable.

[0057] In addition, in the embodiment, the confectionery dough 50 is for crackers, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the confectionery dough 50 may be for cookies, and any type of confectionery is acceptable as long as the outline of the confectionery is formed by cutting the dough 50. Also, the ingredients or the mixing ratio may be changed so that the elasticity, viscosity, etc. of the confectionery dough 50 can be changed.

[0058] In other words, the present invention is not limited to the examples as long as the functions and effects of the present invention are achieved. [Industrial Applicability]
