Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an edible product manufacturing system and an edible product manufacturing method using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Processing thin food materials to form sheeted edible products requires delicate handling of the food materials. If the ingredients are not handled delicately, they may be torn or crumpled, causing subsequent processes to not proceed normally, which may lead to process interruptions and reduced productivity. When the processing of foodstuffs is carried out by skilled workers, the loss of material and production time can be minimized to form an edible product. However, when the work is performed by unskilled workers or using poorly designed machinery, the ingredients cannot be handled delicately, which can lead to damage to the ingredients and reduced productivity.

[0003] Typically, to produce edible products using thin ingredients, the ingredients are supplied in a stack in which multiple ingredients are layered on top of each other, and a single piece of food material is separated from the stack and then subjected to a specified processing method. This process requires particularly delicate handling of the ingredients.

[0004] For example, a thin food ingredient, nori, and rice paper can be used to form a nori snack, which is an example of a sheet-like edible product. Although both ingredients have in common that they are thin ingredients, nori and rice paper have different physical properties and therefore require different handling methods.

[0005] Meanwhile, seaweed snacks can be processed into smaller portions that are easy for consumers to consume through the process of cutting them into smaller portions. However, due to the nature of the glue, foreign matter such as scraps that are generated during the cutting process may accumulate or get caught in the cutting device through repeated processes, which may cause the operation to be unsmooth. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an edible product production system and method that can reduce the time required to produce edible products and improve productivity by reducing defects during the production process. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The edible product manufacturing system of the present invention includes a first food ingredient supplying device configured to separate and supply one first food ingredient from a first food ingredient stack including a plurality of stacked first food ingredients, a second food ingredient supplying device configured to separate and supply one second food ingredient from a second food ingredient stack including a plurality of stacked second food ingredients, and a pressurizing device configured to pressurize a semi-finished product formed by seating the supplied one first food ingredient on the supplied one second food ingredient to form an edible product.

[0008] The method for producing an edible product of the present invention includes the steps of separating one sheet of a first food ingredient from a plurality of stacked first food ingredients, separating one sheet of a second food ingredient from a plurality of stacked second food ingredients, placing the separated sheet of first food ingredient on the separated sheet of second food ingredient to form a semi-finished product, and pressurizing the semi-finished product to form an edible product. Effect of the Invention

[0009] This reduces the time required to produce edible products, reduces defects in the edible product production process, and increases productivity. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0039] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0186724, filed on December 29, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety in the specification and drawings.

[0040] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a right side view of an edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a left side view of an edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] Referring to the drawings, an edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first foodstuff supplying device 20, a second foodstuff supplying device 30, and a pressurizing device 50. An edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a system frame 10, may include a bonding fluid jetting device 41, may include an auxiliary bonding fluid jetting device 42, may include an intermediate conveyor 61, may include a discharge conveyor 62, may include a cutting device 70, and may include a processor 80.

[0042] In this specification, the front-rear, left-right, and up-down directions are designated for the convenience of explanation and may be directions perpendicular to one another. However, such a direction is determined relative to the direction in which the edible product production systems 1 are arranged, and the up-down direction does not necessarily mean the vertical direction.

[0043] The edible product produced by the edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention may be Nori Snack (SN). The ingredients used for the production of such edible products may include a first ingredient and a second ingredient, the first ingredient may be seaweed (SW) and the second ingredient may be rice paper (RP), and the unitary product into which the edible product is cut to produce may be a unitary snack (SU). Therefore, the configuration and operation of edible product production system 1 will be described below using a seaweed snack (SN) instead of an edible product, a sheet of seaweed (SW) instead of a sheet of the first ingredient, a seaweed stack (WS) instead of the first ingredient stack, a seaweed cassette (WC) instead of the first ingredient cassette, a sheet of rice paper (RP) instead of a sheet of the second ingredient, a paper stack (PS) instead of the second ingredient stack, a paper cassette (PC) instead of the second ingredient cassette, and a unit snack (SU) instead of a unit product, but the edible product, the first ingredient, and the second ingredient are not limited to this.

[0044] At the rear end of the edible product production system 1, a first food supplying device 20 and a second food supplying device 30 may be arranged. The first food supplying device 20 and the second food supplying device 30 may supply seaweed and rice paper forward, respectively, to form a semi-finished product (HG) in which the seaweed is attached to the rice paper. The semi-finished product (HG) may be pressurized by a pressurizing device 50 disposed in front of the first foodstuff supplying device 20 and the second foodstuff supplying device 30 to produce a seaweed snack (SN). The first food supplying device 20 may be disposed above the second food supplying device 30 so that the provided seaweed can be easily attached to the rice paper.

[0045] An edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a system frame 10 . The system frame 10 is a framework component to which the components included in the edible product production system 1 are coupled so that their relative positions with respect to one another are fixed. The system frame 10 may be formed by connecting beams extending in the left-right direction, the front-rear direction, and the up-down direction.

[0047] <First food supply device 20>

[0048] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the first foodstuff supplying device 20 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a front view of a portion of the first foodstuff supplying device 20 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a left side view of a portion of the first foodstuff supplying device 20 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a part of the internal structure of the first foodstuff supplying device 20 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a right side view showing a part of the internal structure of the first foodstuff supplying device 20 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a detailed view showing the state in which the suction block rises in the state shown in FIG. 9 and transfers one sheet of glue to the horizontally moving part.

[0049] The first foodstuff supplying device 20 is provided to separate and supply one sheet of seaweed (SW) from a seaweed stack (WS) including a plurality of stacked seaweed pieces. The glue stack (WS) may be supplied seated in a glue cassette (WC). The Nori Cassette (WC) is a vehicle used for the provision of the Nori Stack (WS). The seaweed cassette (WC) may be formed in a box shape with an open top so that the seaweed stack (WS) seated therein does not fall or come off in a horizontal direction, and can be easily handled by the first food lifting section 21 described below. A first food lifter hole formed to open at the top and bottom may be disposed on the floor plate of the glue cassette (WC). The first food lifter hole may have an area smaller than the area of ​​a sheet of seaweed (SW). Therefore, when the first food lifter 212 described later rises and falls, it may pass through the first food lifter hole from top to bottom, but when the seaweed stack (WS) is seated in the seaweed cassette (WC), it may not fall through the first food lifter hole.

[0050] The first food supplying device 20 may include a first food cassette moving section 25. The first food cassette moving unit 25 is provided to selectively position the glue cassette (WC) at a first lifting position and a second lifting position located behind the first lifting position. The first lifting position is a position where the first food material lifter 212 can vertically pass through a first food material lifter hole formed in the glue cassette (WC). Therefore, the first food cassette moving unit 25 may include a first food cassette rail 251 extending in the front-rear direction, and a first food cassette seating unit 252 slidably coupled to the first food cassette rail 251 along the front-rear direction. A glue cassette (WC) may be placed on the first food cassette seating portion 252 and provided along the first food cassette rail 251 .

[0051] The first food supplying device 20 may include a first food lifting section 21. The first food lifting section 21 is provided to remove and lift a seaweed stack (WS) including a plurality of stacked seaweed pieces from a seaweed cassette (WC) in which the seaweed stack (WS) is seated.

[0052] The first food material lifting section 21 may include a first food material lifting rail 211 and a first food material lifter 212 extending in the vertical direction. The first food lifter 212 is installed to ascend and descend from below the seaweed stack (WS) positioned at the first lifting position and pass through the first food lifter hole to lift the seaweed stack (WS). Thus, the first food lifter 212 is coupled to the first food lifting rail 211 so as to be capable of rising and lowering. The first food cassette moving unit 25 may move the glue cassette (WC) transferred from the second lifting position to the first lifting position, and at this time, the first food lifter 212 is lowered and placed in a position lower than the glue cassette (WC) and positioned below the glue cassette (WC). After the seaweed cassette (WC) reaches the first lifting position, the first food ingredient lifter 212 rises and passes through the first food ingredient lifter hole, and the upper surface of the first food ingredient lifter 212 comes into contact with the lower surface of the seaweed stack (WS) to lift the seaweed stack (WS).

[0053] The first food lifting rail 211 may be disposed on one of the left and right sides of the glue cassette (WC) disposed in the first lifting position. The first food lifter 212 may have a shape that extends along the left-right direction. Therefore, the first food lifter hole may have a shape that separates at least one of the left and right side surfaces of the glue cassette (WC) and the left and right corners of the floor board. This is because the first food lifter 212 must rise and fall to pass through the first food lifter hole.

[0054] A first food ingredient separator 22, which will be described later, can separate and transport a sheet of seaweed (SW) from the seaweed stack (WS) lifted by the first food ingredient lifter 212. The first food separating unit 22 adsorbs and transports the uppermost piece of seaweed among the multiple pieces of seaweed stacked in the seaweed stack (WS). Therefore, the more times the first food separating section 22 operates, the more the height of the seaweed stack (WS) decreases. The first food material lifter 212 can rise so that the height of the upper end of the seaweed stack (WS) from the ground remains constant even when the first food material separating unit 22 is operating. Therefore, the first food separating section 22 can subsequently adsorb and transport the seaweed at the same position.

[0055] The first food lifting portion 21 may include a first food holder 213 . When the number of seaweed pieces contained in the seaweed stack (WS) lifted by the first food lifter 212 falls below a predetermined number, it is necessary to supply a new seaweed stack (WS) so that seaweed can be continuously supplied. Therefore, the first ingredient lifter 212 must again descend to lift a new seaweed stack (WS), and the first ingredient holder 213 is used in this situation. The first food material holder 213 is provided to support at least a portion of the multiple pieces of seaweed contained in the seaweed stack (WS) lifted by the first food material lifter 212. The first food material holder 213 may be positioned behind the seaweed stack (WS) lifted by the first food material lifter 212. The first food material holder 213 advances and is inserted under the seaweed stack (WS) which is supplying seaweed to the first food material separation section 22, thereby supporting the seaweed stack (WS). Since the nori stack (WS) would not fall any further without the first food ingredient lifter 212, the first food ingredient lifter 212 may be lowered. While the first food ingredient lifter 212 is descending, the first food ingredient holder 213 supports the seaweed stack (WS) to prevent it from falling, and the first food ingredient separation section 22 can continue to adsorb and transport the seaweed remaining in the seaweed stack (WS).

[0056] The lowered first food lifter 212 repeats the above-mentioned process to lift up a new seaweed stack (WS). The first food lifter 212 rises so that the upper end of the new seaweed stack (WS) rises to a height adjacent to the underside of the first food holder 213, and then the first food holder 213 can be detached from the existing seaweed stack (WS). When the first food ingredient holder 213 is disposed at the rear side of the seaweed stack (WS), the first food ingredient holder 213 can be moved back to disengage from the seaweed stack (WS). By removing the first food material holder 213, the existing seaweed stack (WS) may be seated on the new seaweed stack (WS), and the first food material lifter 212 may support the new seaweed stack (WS) on which the existing seaweed stack (WS) is seated.

[0057] The first food material supplying device 20 may include a first food material separating section 22. The first food separating unit 22 is provided to grasp and move a sheet of seaweed (SW) from the seaweed stack (WS). The first food separating section 22 is movable up and down, and may therefore adsorb a sheet of seaweed (SW) at the upper end of the seaweed stack (WS) and lift it up.

[0058] The first food separating section 22 may include an adsorption block 221. The suction block 221 may approach a sheet of glue (SW) located at the top end of the glue stack (WS), suction-attach to the top surface of the sheet of glue (SW), and move up and down. The suction block 221 may descend to approach the sheet of seaweed (SW), or may come into direct contact with the top end of the seaweed stack (WS) to adsorb the sheet of seaweed (SW), or may be close to the top end of the seaweed stack (WS) and the sheet of seaweed (SW) may be lifted up by the air sucked in and adsorbed to the suction block 221.

[0059] The suction block 221 is formed in a hollow box-like structure and has holes on the bottom for suctioning the seaweed, and can suction air through these holes to suction the seaweed. The above-mentioned hole may be formed in a long hole shape extending along the left-right direction. The suction block 221 may have a groove extending in the front-rear direction and recessed upward from the lower surface, and legs of the suction block 221 located on the left and right sides of such a groove may come into contact with a sheet of glue (SW).

[0060] The first food separating section 22 may include a passage member 223. The passage member 223 may have an internal space through which air can flow like a pipe. One end of the passage member 223 may be connected to a first food lifting blower 26 that generates a negative pressure to receive the negative pressure, and the other end may be connected to the suction block 221 . The passage member 223 may or may not be in communication with the suction block 221 depending on the movement of the suction block 221 . Therefore, when the passage member 223 is connected to the suction block 221, it can serve to provide the suction block 221 with negative pressure used to adsorb a sheet of glue (SW) to the suction block 221, and when it is not connected, the supply of negative pressure to the suction block 221 may be interrupted.

[0061] The passage member 223 and the suction block 221 may be connected to each other, and the suction block 221 may have a relative movement with respect to the passage member 223 in the up and down direction. In FIG. 9, a portion of the passage member 223 and the suction block 221 are indicated by a thick line, and the boundary between the two members is indicated by a dashed line. In the state shown in Figure 9, the suction block 221 and the passage member 223 are connected, and when the suction block 221 rises in the state shown in Figure 9, the state shown in Figure 10 is obtained, and the rear end of the suction block 221 may come into contact with the front surface of the passage member 223, which is also shown by a thick line.

[0062] The hole through which the suction block 221 and the passage member 223 communicate with each other may be hidden when the suction block 221 is raised, and may be opened when the suction block 221 is lowered. The suction block 221 may have a block negative pressure providing opening 2211 at its rear end, and the passage member 223 may have a passage negative pressure providing opening 2231 at its front end.

[0063] When the block negative pressure providing opening 2211 and the passage negative pressure providing opening 2231 are connected to each other, negative pressure is transmitted from the passage member 223 to the suction block 221 . When the suction block 221 is lowered to its maximum extent as shown in FIG. 9, the area where the block negative pressure providing opening 2211 and the passage negative pressure providing opening 2231 overlap each other in the front-to-rear direction is maximized, so that the size of the hole through which the suction block 221 and the passage member 223 communicate may be maximized. In this situation, the maximum negative pressure is provided to the suction block 221, so that one sheet of glue (SW) can be smoothly suctioned.

[0064] When the area where the block negative pressure supplying opening 2211 and the passage negative pressure supplying opening 2231 communicate with each other is reduced, the magnitude of the negative pressure supplied to the suction block 221 is reduced. As the suction block 221 rises, the block negative pressure providing opening 2211 is gradually hidden by the front surface of the passage member 223, and the overlapping area of ​​the block negative pressure providing opening 2211 and the passage negative pressure providing opening 2231 decreases. When the suction block 221 is raised to the maximum as shown in FIG. 10, the area where the block negative pressure providing opening 2211 and the passage negative pressure providing opening 2231 overlap each other in the front-to-rear direction is minimal or nonexistent, so the size of the hole through which the suction block 221 and the vacuum passage member communicate may be minimized. In this situation, a minimum negative pressure is provided to the suction block 221, and there is no suction force for the sheet of glue (SW). However, since the sheet of seaweed (SW) that is adsorbed and raised by the suction block 221 is adsorbed and transported by the horizontal movement section 24 described later, the sheet of seaweed (SW) may fall back into the seaweed stack (WS) and not return.

[0065] While the suction block 221 is repeatedly raised and lowered to provide and cut off negative pressure, the first food lifting blower 26 may be kept in a continuous operating state. Therefore, the edible product production system 1 of the present invention does not control the strength of the negative pressure applied to the suction block 221 by controlling the suction strength or operation / stop of the first food lifting blower 26, but can control the strength of the negative pressure applied to the suction block 221 by a mechanical configuration while maintaining the operating state of the first food lifting blower 26 in the same state.

[0066] If the first food ingredient lifting blower 26 and the lifting and lowering of the suction block 221 are controlled separately, there is a possibility that the seaweed will not be supplied smoothly due to the time difference between the two controls, and therefore it is necessary to gradually control the first food ingredient supply device 20 in order to supply the seaweed accurately. However, due to the control based on the above-mentioned mechanical configuration of the present invention, the control over the first food lifting blower 26 and the control over the lifting and lowering of the suction block 221 are independent of each other, so errors and delays due to synchronization problems do not occur, and a sheet of seaweed (SW) can be provided to the seaweed supply unit at a relatively fast speed. In one embodiment of the present invention, the blower included in the edible product production system 1 may include a pump and an impeller to draw in air, but the configuration is not limited thereto.

[0067] The first food separating section 22 may include a gate valve 222. The gate valve 222 is disposed inside the passage member 223 and is capable of adjusting the opening and closing of a portion of the passage member 223 . Therefore, the flow rate of the air sucked from the adsorption block 221 through the passage member 223 can be adjusted.

[0068] The first food separator 22 may include a foreign matter removal filter. Since air is sucked in for the suction of the suction block 221 that suctions the glue, foreign matter such as glue chips may gather inside the passage member 223. To prevent such foreign matter from exceeding the first food lifting blower 26 and causing a breakdown, a foreign matter removal filter is disposed inside the passage member 223 to filter out the foreign matter. The foreign matter removal filter may be a filter that uses an electrostatic method, or a filter that is made of a mesh with fine holes and filters out foreign matter larger than the size of the holes, but the type is not limited thereto.

[0069] The first food supplying device 20 may include a horizontal movement unit 24. The horizontal movement unit 24 is provided to transport the sheet of seaweed (SW) lifted by the suction block 221 of the first food separating unit 22 forward. The horizontal movement section 24 may be an adsorption conveyor positioned so that its underside contacts the upper surface of the sheet of seaweed (SW) raised by the first food ingredient separation section 22, and is configured to transport the contacted sheet of seaweed (SW) forward. Since the horizontal moving part 24 may be a suction conveyor, a sheet of glue (SW) can be sucked and transported at the same time. Therefore, even if its underside comes into contact with the upper surface of a sheet of glue (SW) and there is no component supporting the sheet of glue (SW), the sheet of glue (SW) may be supported by the horizontal moving part 24 and not fall downward.

[0070] The horizontal moving part 24 does not need to come into contact with the entire upper surface of the sheet of glue (SW). This is because the suction block 221 transfers the sheet of glue (SW) to the horizontal movement part 24 while being in contact with the upper surface of the sheet of glue (SW). Therefore, the suction block 221 may come into contact with a portion of the sheet of glue (SW), and the horizontally moving part 24 may come into contact with another portion of the sheet of glue (SW). As shown in the figure, the suction block 221 may contact the center portion of the sheet of glue (SW), and the horizontal moving part 24 may contact the front region of the sheet of glue (SW). In order for a sheet of glue (SW) to be stably transported by the horizontal moving part 24, a portion of the upper surface of the sheet of glue (SW) that comes into contact with the horizontal moving part 24 may preferably have a length that is more than 1 / 3 of the length of the sheet of glue (SW) based on the front-to-back direction.

[0071] The horizontal movement portion 24 may have a tapered jeans shape, in which the length in the front-rear direction decreases toward the top when viewed from the left-right direction. However, the lower surface of the horizontal moving part 24 is formed horizontally so that one sheet of glue (SW) can be stably transferred forward.

[0072] The horizontal moving section 24 , which may be a suction conveyor, may include a horizontal moving body 241 , a suction belt 242 , and a suction roller 243 . The horizontally moving body 241 is a portion to which negative pressure is applied and in which a plurality of body holes and body providing holes 244 are formed. The body hole is formed on the lower surface of the horizontally moving body 241, and the body providing hole 244 is formed on the left and right sides of the horizontally moving body 241 and can be connected to the horizontally moving blower 27 to provide negative pressure. The suction belt 242 may be wound around the peripheral surface formed on the front-rear and up-down directions of such a horizontally moving body 241 and come into contact with a sheet of glue (SW). The suction belt 242 may have a plurality of air intake holes formed therein. The air intake hole may be connected to a plurality of body holes so as to generate an adhesive force capable of adsorbing a sheet of glue (SW). Therefore, a sheet of glue (SW) may be adsorbed onto the horizontally moving part 24 by air sucked in through the intake hole and the main body hole. The suction roller 243 is provided so as to rotate to rotate the suction belt 242 along the periphery of the horizontally moving body 241 with the left-right direction as its axial direction. The adsorption belt 242 rotates by the adsorption roller 243, and a sheet of glue (SW) adsorbed to the front can be transported.

[0073] The conveyor included in the edible product production system 1 of the present invention or the rollers included in the conveyor may be connected to and driven by a motor that generates a driving force for rotation using transmitted power. However, other drive sources, such as actuators other than motors, may also be used.

[0074] The internal space of the horizontally moving body 241 may be divided into a negative pressure space 2411 and a non-negative pressure space 2412 . The negative pressure space 2411 is provided with negative pressure by communicating with the outside through the body providing hole 244 and the body hole, and can communicate with the outside through the body hole. No negative pressure is provided to the non-negative pressure space 2412.

[0075] The multiple air intake holes may be formed in the shape of elongated holes extending in the front-rear direction when viewed from below to above. The multiple air intake holes may be arranged alternately in the left-right direction along the front-rear direction in a zigzag pattern when viewed from below to above. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a sheet of glue (SW) from being damaged due to being adsorbed only in a part of it, and it is possible to adsorb a sheet of glue (SW) over the widest possible area.

[0076] The first food material supplying device 20 may include a first food material conveying section 23. The first food material transfer section 23 is provided to transfer the sheet of seaweed (SW) separated by the first food material separation section 22 and conveyed forward by the horizontal movement section 24 to the pressurizing device 50. The first food material transport section 23 may include a plurality of first food material transport conveyors 231. The upper surface of the first food material transport conveyor 231 may support the lower surface of a sheet of seaweed (SW) transported by the horizontal transport section 24, and transport the seaweed forward. Therefore, the rear end of first food material conveying section 23 may partially overlap with horizontally moving section 24 in the front-rear direction to ensure stable transport of seaweed.

[0077] The first food material transport conveyor 231 is configured in a double structure based on the vertical direction, and a sheet of seaweed (SW) may be placed between the first food material transport conveyors 231, and the first food material transport conveyor 231 may contact the upper and lower surfaces of the sheet of seaweed (SW) to transport the sheet of seaweed (SW).

[0078] The first food transport section 23 may include a first food transport housing 232 that surrounds the interior such that the interior is spatially separated from the exterior. Nori is sensitive to humidity, and high humidity can make it damp and difficult to process. However, since there is a possibility that water will be poured onto the rice paper in the second food supplying device 30 described later, it is necessary to prevent the sheet of seaweed (SW) transported by the first food transport section 23 from becoming soggy due to the water poured therein.

[0079] The first food material conveying section 23 may include a portion that is inclined downward relative to the front. This inclined portion prevents a sheet of seaweed (SW) from slipping off the first food transport conveyor 231 due to its own weight when it is transported, and it can rotate together with multiple seaweed position fixing rods to ensure that it is properly seated in sync with a sheet of rice paper (RP) described below. The multiple seaweed position fixing bars may be arranged spaced apart from each other along the front-rear direction of first food material transport conveyor 231 and may be arranged to protrude above the upper surface of first food material transport conveyor 231. A piece of glue (SW) may be positioned between adjacent glue position fixing bars, and the glue position fixing bars may restrict the movement of the piece of glue (SW) in the front-rear direction.

[0081] <Second food supply device 30>

[0082] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a portion of the second foodstuff supplying device 30 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12 is a right side view of a portion of the second foodstuff supplying device 30 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a second food material conveyor and a bonding liquid spraying device 41 of the edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a second food ingredient conveyor of an edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0083] The second food supply device 30 is provided to separate and supply a single sheet of rice paper (RP) from a paper stack (PS) including a plurality of stacked rice papers. The paper stack (PS) may be seated and fed into a paper cassette (PC). The explanation regarding the Paper Cassette (PC) is the same as that regarding the Nori Cassette (WC), except that the nori is changed to rice paper, so the explanation regarding the Nori Cassette (WC) will be used here.

[0084] The second food supplying device 30 may include a second food cassette moving section 35 and a second food lifting section 31. The explanation regarding the second food cassette moving unit 35 and the second food lifting unit 31 is simply a change from the explanation regarding the first food cassette moving unit 25 and the first food lifting unit 21, except that seaweed is changed to rice paper, and therefore the explanation regarding the first food cassette moving unit 25 and the first food lifting unit 21 is also used.

[0085] The second food ingredient supplying device 30 may include a second food ingredient separating section 32. The second food separating section 32 is provided to grasp a single piece of rice paper (RP) from the paper stack (PS) and move it forward. The second food ingredient separating section 32 may include a second food ingredient gripping member 322 that grips a piece of rice paper (RP), and a swing arm 321 that moves the piece of rice paper (RP) that is adsorbed by the second food ingredient gripping member 322.

[0086] The second food ingredient gripping member 322 is provided to grip, by suction, the uppermost piece of rice paper (RP) among the plurality of rice papers included in the paper stack (PS). The second food gripping member 322 may be connected to a paper gripping blower to provide negative pressure and grip the rice paper by suction. Negative pressure is supplied when the second food ingredient gripping member 322 approaches the paper stack (PS), and the negative pressure is removed when the second food ingredient gripping member 322 approaches the second food ingredient transport section 33, so that the second food ingredient gripping member 322 seats the rice paper on the second food ingredient transport section 33 and may be detached from the rice paper.

[0087] The second food ingredient gripping member 322 may include a plurality of second food ingredient suction heads 3221, 3222. In one embodiment of the present invention, a total of three second food suction heads 3221, 3222 are described as being arranged, however, the number and arrangement are not limited to this and may be changed to various numbers and arrangements depending on the characteristics such as the size, characteristics, and material of the original material to be supplied, and to improve the efficiency of coordination with the equipment arranged at the rear end. Of the three second food ingredient suction heads 3221, 3222, two of the heads 3222 are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction, and the other head 3221 may be located in front of the two second food ingredient suction heads 3222 described above. Therefore, the second food ingredient gripping member 322 may have a structure in which the three second food ingredient suction heads 3221, 3222 are arranged at the vertices of an isosceles triangle when viewed from above. The second food ingredient suction heads 3221, 3222 may be slidably and fixably coupled to the second food ingredient gripping frame 3223 such that the distance between them may be adjusted. Since the second food material supplying device 30 has the second food material suction heads 3221, 3222 arranged in this manner, the rice paper (RP) can be stably gripped and transported even when the rice paper is bent at room temperature.

[0088] At the distal end of the swing arm 321, a second food gripping member 322 is disposed. The swing arm 321 may rotate about an axial direction in the left-right direction to change the position of the second food ingredient gripping member 322 based on the front-rear direction. Based on FIG. 12, the swing arm 321 may rotate clockwise to move the rice paper on the lower left side to the upper right side. 12 in order to adsorb the rice paper again after transferring the rice paper to the second food material conveying unit 33. That is, the swing arm 321 can perform rotary reciprocating motion.

[0089] The swing arm 321 may be connected to the second food ingredient gripping member 322 so that the arrangement direction of the second food ingredient gripping member 322 is the same at a position where a sheet of rice paper (RP) is adsorbed and at a position where a sheet of rice paper (RP) is placed on the second food ingredient transport section 33 described below. Therefore, the rice paper may be fed to the second ingredient separating unit 32 horizontally and removed from the second ingredient separating unit 32 horizontally.

[0090] The second food material supplying device 30 may include a second food material conveying section 33. The second food material conveying unit 33 is provided to convey the sheet of rice paper (RP) conveyed by the second food material separating unit 32 to the pressurizing device 50.

[0091] The second food material conveying section 33 may include a second food material holding roller 34 . The second food ingredient holding roller 34 is a roller that, when a piece of rice paper (RP) is delivered by the second food ingredient separation unit 32, does not immediately deliver it to the second food ingredient conveyor described below for transport, but can stop or rotate to deliver the rice paper to the second food ingredient conveyor at an appropriate time. The second food holding roller 34 may be formed as two rollers that can rotate about the left-right direction as an axial direction and are spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction, and when the rice paper passes between them, it may stop operating to hold the rice paper or rotate to push the rice paper forward. The sheet of rice paper (RP) extruded by the second food holding roller 34 may be conveyed to a second food conveyor.

[0092] The second food transport section 33 may include a second food conveyor. The second food material conveyor is provided to convey forward a sheet of rice paper (RP) that is conveyed by the second food material separating section 32, discharged forward by the second food material holding roller 34, and seated on the upper surface thereof.

The second food material belt 331 may be configured to contact one portion of the rice paper and not contact another portion of the rice paper. As shown in the figure, a number of platforms having a very thin thickness in the left-right direction and spaced apart along the left-right direction are formed protruding outward from the second food belt 331, and rice paper may be placed on the platforms of the second food belt 331 and transported forward. Therefore, the second food material belt 331 is capable of transporting the rice paper, but by minimizing the contact area with the rice paper, deformation of the rice paper due to heat can be prevented.

[0094] The second food material transport section 33 may include a second food material position fixing bar 333 . A plurality of second food material position fixing bars 333 may be arranged on the second food material conveyor at intervals along the front-rear direction and may protrude outward from the second food material conveyor in the front-rear direction or the up-down direction. The distance between two adjacent second food ingredient position fixing bars 333 may be longer than the length of a sheet of rice paper (RP) in the front-to-rear direction. Therefore, a piece of rice paper (RP) may be positioned between adjacent second food ingredient position fixing bars 333, and the second food ingredient position fixing bars 333 may restrict the piece of rice paper (RP) from moving in the front-back direction. The second food material holding roller 34 may hold a piece of rice paper (RP) in a stationary state so that a piece of rice paper can be supplied between adjacent second food material position fixing bars 333, and then rotate to transport the rice paper forward.

The injection nozzle 411 may be configured in a plurality of pieces.

[0098] The bonding fluid jetting device 41 may include a jetting cover 412 . The injection cover 412 is formed to cover the second food conveyor from above. The spray cover 412 allows the adhesive liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle 411 to be sprayed onto the rice paper only within the area of ​​the spray cover 412, preventing it from scattering to the outside.

[0099]

[0100] <Pressure device 50>

[0101] FIG. 15 is a perspective view of a pressurizing device 50 of an edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 16 is a plan view of a pressurizing device 50 of an edible product production system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17 is a rear view of the pressurizing device 50 of the edible product production system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0102] The pressurizing device 50 is provided to pressurize the semi-finished product (HG) formed by placing a sheet of seaweed (SW) on a sheet of rice paper (RP) to form a seaweed snack (SN). Therefore, the pressurizing device 50 may be disposed in front of the first food supplying device 20 and the second food supplying device 30. The pressing device 50 may press the nori and rice paper against each other.

[0103] The pressure device 50 may include a pressure base 51 . The pressure base 51 is provided so that the semi-finished product (HG) passes forward through the upper surface of the pressure base 51 . The pressure base 51 plays a role of supporting the semi-finished product (HG) when a pressure roller 522 (described later) presses the semi-finished product (HG). The pressure roller 522 may press downward the nori that constitutes the upper surface of the semi-finished product (HG), while the pressure base 51 supports upward the rice paper that constitutes the lower surface of the semi-finished product (HG), so that the semi-finished product (HG) may be sandwiched between the pressure roller 522 and the pressure base 51 and squeezed to produce a nori snack (SN).

[0104] The pressure device 50 may include a pressure lifting section 53 . The pressurizing lifting section 53 may be disposed at a position spaced above the pressurizing base section 51 and configured to lift and lower relative to the pressurizing base section 51 . The pressure lifting unit 53 may be connected to a pressure frame 56 connected to the pressure base unit 51 so as to be capable of being lifted and lowered.

[0105] The pressure device 50 may include a pressure roller unit 52 . The pressure roller unit 52 is connected to the pressure lift unit 53 so as to be rotatable about its axis in the left-right direction so as to apply downward pressure to the semi-finished product (HG) passing below. When the pressure lift unit 53 is lifted or lowered, the pressure roller unit 52 may also be lifted or lowered.

[0106] The pressure roller unit 52 may include a pressure roller 522 and a pressure shaft member 521 . The pressure roller 522 may be made up of multiple rollers. The multiple pressure rollers 522 may be arranged separated from one another in the left-right direction and coupled to a single pressure shaft member 521 extending in the left-right direction. The pressure roller 522 may be rotatably coupled to the pressure shaft member 521 .

[0107] The pressure applying shaft member 521 may be coupled to the pressure applying lifting unit 53 so as to be rotatable about an axial direction extending in the left-right direction. The pressure shaft members 521 may also be configured in multiple numbers and may be disposed apart from each other in the front-rear direction. The pressure roller 522 connected to the pressure shaft member 521 located relatively to the rear side may descend to primarily pressurize the semi-finished product (HG) downward, and the pressure roller 522 connected to the pressure shaft member 521 located relatively to the front side may descend to secondarily pressurize the semi-finished product (HG) downward.

[0108] The pressure device 50 may include a pressure rail 54 . The pressure rail 54 is a component that is arranged to extend in the front-rear direction so that the semi-finished product (HG) is not wound around the pressure roller 522. The pressure rail 54 may be made up of multiple rails. The pressure rail 54 may be disposed between adjacent pressure rollers 522 spaced apart from each other on the left and right. A plurality of pressure rails 54 may be arranged spaced apart in the left-right direction. The pressure rail 54 may be disposed below the pressure roller unit 52 . Therefore, the semi-finished product (HG) entering the lower side of the pressure roller section 52 is restricted in its upward movement by the pressure rail 54, and when the semi-finished product (HG) is pressed downward by the pressure roller 522, it may not be wound around the pressure roller 522 even when the pressure roller 522 rotates.

[0109] The pressure device 50 may include a guide roller portion 55 . The guide roller portion 55 is rotatably disposed at a position spaced above the pressure base portion 51 so as to guide the semi-finished product (HG) between the pressure roller 522 and the pressure base portion 51. The guide roller portion 55 may also be rotatably coupled to the pressure frame 56 and may be rotated by a driving force transmitted thereto. The guide roller portion 55 may contact the upper surface of the semi-finished product (HG) or the glue snack (SN) to transport the semi-finished product (HG) or the glue snack (SN) forward. The guide roller unit 55 may be disposed at least one of the front side and the rear side of the pressure roller unit 52 .

[0110] In one embodiment of the present invention, the guide roller portion 55 is shown as including a front guide roller portion 55b located in front of the pressure roller portion 52 and a rear guide roller portion 55a located in rear of the pressure roller portion 52, but the arrangement is not limited to this. The front guide roller portion 55b does not have to be formed over the entire pressure base portion 51 in the left-right direction, and by arranging it separately on the left and right sides of the pressure base portion 51, the central portion can be prevented from receiving pressure from the front guide roller portion 55b based on the left-right direction.

[0111] The guide roller portion 55 may include a guide shaft member 551 and a guide roller 552 . The guide roller 552 may be made up of multiple rollers. The multiple guide rollers 552 may be arranged separated from one another in the left-right direction and coupled to a single guide shaft member 551 extending in the left-right direction. The guide shaft member 551 may be coupled to the pressure frame 56 so as to be rotatable about its axial direction in the left-right direction. The guide roller 552 may be rotatably coupled to the guide shaft member 551 .

[0112] The guide shaft members 551 may also be configured in multiple numbers and may be arranged spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction. When viewed from the front-rear direction, the areas occupied by the guide rollers 552 of the different guide roller portions 55 may overlap in part, but may not overlap in other parts. The widths of the guide rollers 552 included in the different guide roller portions 55 in the left-right direction may be different from each other. The multiple guide rollers 552 are arranged in this manner, so that the semi-finished product (HG) or the glue snack (SN) can be pressed evenly, without being pressed only in some areas.

[0113] The pressure rails 54 may also be disposed between adjacent guide rollers 552 . Therefore, the pressure rail 54 can prevent the semi-finished product (HG) from being wound around the guide roller 552. In addition, the front and rear ends of the pressure rail 54 have a shape that is inclined upward toward the outside based on the front-to-rear direction, so that when the semi-finished product (HG) enters under the pressure roller section 52, the semi-finished product (HG) can be easily guided to the underside of the pressure rail 54, and when the glue snack (SN) comes out of the pressure device 50, it can gradually detach from the upper surface of the glue snack (SN).

[0114]

The auxiliary bonding fluid jetting device 42 may be disposed so as to be penetrated by the intermediate conveyor 61 or to cover the intermediate conveyor 61 . The explanation of the auxiliary adhesive liquid-jetting device 42 is the same as that of the adhesive liquid-jetting device 41 except that rice paper is changed to nori snack (SN) and the adhesive liquid is changed to an auxiliary adhesive liquid. Therefore, the explanation of the adhesive liquid-jetting device 41 will be used here.

[0119]

[0120] <Cutting device 70>

[0121] FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing some components of a cutting device 70 of an edible product producing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 19 is a perspective view showing some components of the cutting device 70 of the edible product producing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention from another direction.

[0122] An edible product making system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a cutting device 70. The cutting device 70 is provided to cut the nori snack (SN) discharged from the pressurizing device 50 into a plurality of small unit snacks (SU). The cutting device 70 may be arranged in front of the pressing device 50 and in front of the intermediate conveyor 61 so that the nori snack (SN) discharged forward from the pressing device 50 can be transmitted thereto.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cutting device 70 may be a roller cutter that includes a roller having a cutting blade formed on its surface and can cut the nori snack (SN) by rotating the roller. However, the cutting device 70 is not limited to this, and may be a stamping machine in which pressure is applied to and cutting is performed on the nori snack by raising and lowering a stamp, or a device in which the nori snack is cut in a manner similar to a push-cut by raising and lowering a blade.

[0124] The cutting device 70 may include a cutting roller 72 and a cutting base 71 . The cutting roller 72 may be positioned above the cutting base 71 . The nori snack (SN) is transported forward along the upper surface of the cutting base 71, and may be cut by the rotating cutting roller 72 into small unit snacks (SU) and discharged forward.

[0125] The cutting base portion 71 is disposed at a position facing the cutting roller 72 based on the glue snack (SN) so as to support the glue snack (SN) to be cut by the cutting roller 72. In one embodiment of the present invention, the cutting base 71 may be disposed on the lower side based on the glue snap (SN), and the cutting roller 72 may be disposed on the upper side based on the glue snap (SN). Therefore, the Nori snack (SN) may be transported forward through the upper surface of the cut base portion 71. The cut base portion 71 may be formed with an auxiliary opening 711 that extends in the left-right direction and is open in the up-down direction.

[0126] The cutting roller 72 may include a cutting body 721 and a cutting blade 722 . The cutting body 721 may be formed in a cylindrical shape and may be coupled to a cutting frame 75 (described later) so as to be rotatable about its axial direction in the left-right direction. The cutting body 721 may be spaced apart above the cutting base 71 . The cutting blade 722 is positioned to protrude radially outward from the surface of the cutting body 721 so as to cut the seaweed snack (SN) provided along the front-rear direction. The cutting blade 722 is connected to the cutting body 721, and its end protrudes outward from the outer surface of the cutting body 721 so as to come into contact with the nori snack (SN) and cut the nori snack (SN) when the cutting body 721 rotates. The cutting blade 722 may be inserted into the auxiliary opening 711 described above when cutting the seaweed snack (SN).

[0127] The cutting blade 722 may include front and rear cutting blades 7221 and left and right cutting blades 7222 . The front-rear cutting blade 7221 is a cutting blade 722 that extends along the circumferential direction of the cutting body 721, and by contacting the nori snack (SN) forms a cutting surface extending along the front-rear direction on the nori snack (SN), it can cut the nori snack (SN) in the left-right direction. The left and right cutting blades 7222 are cutting blades 722 that extend along the left and right direction, and can come into contact with the nori snack (SN) to form a cutting surface that extends along the left and right direction on the nori snack (SN), thereby cutting the nori snack (SN) in the front and back direction. When looking at the cutting body 721 from the left-right direction, the cutting blade 722 may be formed over the entire circumference of the cutting body 721, or may be formed only on a portion of it.

[0128] The line along which the front and rear cutting blades 7221 extend and the line along which the left and right cutting blades 7222 extend may intersect with each other. Therefore, the cutting blade 722 can cut the nori snack (SN) along the left-right and front-back directions to separate it into a plurality of unit snacks (SU). In one embodiment, the left and right cutting blades 7222 and the front and rear cutting blades 7221 may cross each other. At the intersection of the front and rear cutting blades 7221 and the left and right cutting blades 7222, the front and rear cutting blades 7221 may be continuously connected, but the left and right cutting blades 7222 may be segmented by the front and rear cutting blades 7221.

[0129] The cutting roller 72 may further include a cutting groove 725 formed by recessing the surface of the cutting body 721 on the radially inner side of the cutting body 721 . The base of the cutting blade 722 is inserted into the cutting groove 725, and the cutting edge, which is the part where the cutting is performed by the cutting blade 722, may be positioned protruding radially outward from the surface of the cutting body 721.

[0130] The base of the cutting blade 722 may be coupled to the cutting body 721 at a cutting groove 725 . The cutting roller 72 may include a blade coupling bolt 724 that couples the cutting blade 722 to the cutting body 721 along a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the cutting blade 722 extends. The direction in which the blade connecting bolt 724 connects the cutting blade 722 to the connecting body may be a tangent direction of the cutting body 721 at the position where the blade connecting bolt 724 is disposed, when looking at the cutting body 721 from the left-right direction. The cutting groove 725 may be formed to have a width greater than the thickness of the cutting blade 722 to leave space for the bolt to connect.

[0131] The cutting body 721 may have a guide groove 727 formed therein. The guide groove 727 is formed by recessing the surface of the cutting body 721 on the radially inner side of the cutting body 721 . The cutting grooves 725 and the guide grooves 727 may be arranged alternately along the left-right direction. A cutting guide rail 74 (described later) may be inserted into the guide groove 727 . Due to the presence of the guide groove 727, the glue snack (SN) may be supported downward by the cutting guide rail 74 without being hindered from moving forward by the cutting roller 72 or being cut by the cutting blade 722.

[0132] The cutting roller 72 may include injection holes 723 . The injection holes 723 may be configured in multiple numbers. The injection holes 723 are holes formed through the cutting body 721 from the center to the outside in the radial direction so as to inject gas to the outside in the radial direction of the cutting body 721 around the cutting blade 722 . When the injection hole 723 is present and the seaweed snack (SN) is cut, foreign matter such as seaweed chips that may remain on the cutting blade 722 can be blown out from the cutting blade 722 and removed, allowing the cutting roller 72 to easily perform its cutting function continuously.

[0133] The injection hole 723 can connect a central cutting hole formed in the innermost part of the cutting body 721 along the left-right direction to the outside. The cutting center hole is connected to a cutting blower that blows compressed gas, so that the compressed gas can be delivered and discharged through each of the injection holes 723 .

[0140] The cutting device 70 may include an auxiliary roller 73 . The auxiliary roller 73 is disposed at a position facing the cutting roller 72 based on the glue snack (SN) so as to transport the glue snack (SN) forward and support the glue snack (SN) being cut by the cutting roller 72. The auxiliary roller 73, like the cutting roller 72, may be coupled to the cutting frame 75 so as to be rotatable about its axial direction in the left-right direction. The cutting roller 72 and the auxiliary roller 73 may each be rotatably coupled to the cutting main frame 751 . The cutting roller 72 and the auxiliary roller 73 may receive driving force from the same driving unit and be gear-coupled to each other so as to be driven in conjunction with each other.

[0143] The cutting device 70 may include a cutting guide rail 74 . The cutting guide rail 74 is provided to prevent the glue snack (SN) from wrapping around the cutting roller 72. The cutting guide rail 74 may extend in the front-rear direction. A plurality of cutting guide rails 74 may be provided. The cutting guide rail 74 may be disposed below the surface of the cutting body 721 , but the lower end of the cutting guide rail 74 may be located above the lower end of the cutting blade 722 . Therefore, the upward movement of the unit snacks (SU) cut by the cutting rollers 72 and discharged forward is restricted by the cutting guide rails 74, and they may not be wound around the cutting rollers 72 even when the cutting rollers 72 rotate. Furthermore, since the cutting guide rail 74 is located above the cutting blade 722, the cutting guide rail 74 may not interfere with the cutting operation of the cutting blade 722.

[0144] The cutting guide rail 74 may contact the cutting body 721 or may be inserted into a guide groove 727 formed in the cutting body 721 so that the height relationship between the cutting guide rail 74 and the cutting blade 722 can be adjusted.

[0145]

[0146] The cutting guide rail 74 may be made up of multiple rails. The multiple cutting guide rails 74 may be arranged spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction. The distance that the cutting guide rails 74 are spaced apart from one another in the left-right direction may correspond to the distance that the guide grooves 727 are spaced apart in the left-right direction.

[0147] The front and rear ends of the cutting guide rail 74 have a shape that is inclined upward toward the outside based on the front-to-rear direction, so that when the seaweed snack (SN) enters under the cutting roller 72, the seaweed snack (SN) can be easily guided to the lower side of the cutting guide rail 74, and when the unit snack (SU) is removed from the cutting device 70, it may gradually detach from the upper surface of the unit snack (SU).
