[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings attached to the application.

[0024] In the following examples, a skewered food manufacturing device using minced chicken meat will be described, but the same configuration can also be used for skewered food manufacturing devices using minced meat such as meat or fish, glutinous rice material, ohagi material, domyoji material, warabimochi material, kudzu material, etc.

[0025] In addition, in the following embodiment, a case where a flat skewer P is used is shown, but the same configuration can also be used when a five-sided skewer, a square skewer, a round skewer, a gun skewer, etc. are used.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a side view showing one embodiment of a skewered food production apparatus 100 according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a top view of the skewered food production apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an internal explanatory diagram illustrating the main internal parts of the skewered food production apparatus shown in FIG. 1.

[0027] 1 to 3, the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 of this embodiment comprises a dough supplying device 30 that supplies dough made from minced chicken meat, a forming device 10 that forms formed foods from the dough supplied from the dough supplying device 30, a skewering device 20 that skewers the formed foods formed by the forming device 10 with flat skewers P, and a skewered food transporting device 40 consisting of a belt conveyor that removes and transports the skewered formed foods skewered by the skewering device 20 from the forming device 10.

[0028] The dough supply device 30 is configured with a dough hopper 31 and a screw conveying device 37 having a pair of screws 33a, 33b, which will be described in detail later with reference to Figure 5. Dough made from ground chicken meat is placed into the hopper 31, and the screw conveying device 37 supplies the dough in the hopper 31 to the molding device 10.

[0029] The forming device 10 is equipped with a pair of a first forming roll 10a and a second forming roll 10b, and forms a formed food product by sandwiching the dough supplied from the dough supply device 30 between the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b.

[0030] The skewering device 20 has a skewer hopper 21 into which a large number of skewers, in this embodiment a large number of flat skewers P, is fed, a skewer roll 22 which takes out the flat skewers P fed from the skewer hopper 21 one by one and aligns and transports them, and the flat skewers P aligned and transported by the skewer roll 22 are dropped onto a skewer rail 230 shown in Figure 7, which will be explained later, and the flat skewers P dropped onto this skewer rail 230 are pushed toward the molding device 10 by a skewer extrusion device 23, thereby skewering the molded food.

[0031] The skewered food formed by the forming device 10 and skewered by the skewering device 20 is released from the second forming roll 10b of the forming device 10, falls onto the skewered food conveying device 40, and is transported in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 2.

[0032] FIG. 4 is a side view showing details of the dough supplying device 30 of the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a top view showing details of the screw conveying device 37 of the dough supplying device 30 shown in FIG. 4.

[0033] In FIG. 4, the dough supplying device 30 of this embodiment comprises a dough hopper 31 into which dough made from ground chicken meat is poured, and a screw conveying device 37 disposed below the dough hopper.

[0034] Inside the dough hopper 31, there are provided a stirring blade 312 for stirring the dough inside the dough hopper 31, and a screw-type extrusion device 313 for pushing the dough inside the dough hopper 31 downward.

[0035] The dough extruded by the extrusion device 313 in the dough hopper 31 is guided to the screw conveying device 37.

[0036] As shown in Figure 5, the screw conveying device 37 has a pair of screws 33a, 33b arranged horizontally opposite each other and rotating in opposite directions, and conveys the dough introduced from the extrusion device 313 horizontally along the horizontal conveying path 32 and discharges it from a nozzle 34 provided on the horizontal conveying path 32.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 5, the pair of screws 33a, 33b are each attached to the output shaft of a gear box 35. Rotation of the input shaft 35a of the gear box 35 rotates the screw 33a in the R1 direction and the screw 33b in the R2 direction, thereby allowing the dough introduced from the extrusion device 313 in the dough hopper 31 to be horizontally transported along the horizontal transport path 32 to the die 34.

[0038] In this embodiment, the side wall 31a of the dough hopper 31 and the housing 37a of the screw conveying device 37 each have a double structure, and a temperature-regulating medium such as cold water input from port P1 is circulated through the double structure of the side wall 31a of the dough hopper 31, port P2, the double structure of the housing 37a of the screw conveying device 37, and port P3, thereby making it possible to appropriately control the temperature of the dough supplied from the dough supplying device 30 to the molding device 10.

[0039] If the temperature of the dough supplied from this dough supply device 30 to the molding device 10 is not appropriate, the dough will sag, etc., and the formation of molded food in the molding device 10 and skewering by the skewering device 20, which will be described later, will not be performed properly.

[0040] Next, the main parts of the skewering device 20 of the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 2 will be described in detail.

[0041] FIG. 6 is a side view showing details of the main parts of the skewering device 20 of the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

[0042] In Figure 6, the skewers (flat skewers P in this embodiment) used in the skewer food production apparatus 100 of this embodiment are placed in the skewer hopper 21. A pendulum device 120 is provided inside the skewer hopper 21 to level the flat skewers P and sequentially discharge them from the bottom of the skewer hopper 21. The pendulum device 120 is comprised of a pendulum member 121 and a pendulum cam 122, and the pendulum member 121 levels the flat skewers P in the skewer hopper 21 and sequentially discharges them from the bottom of the skewer hopper 21.

[0043] The flat skewers P discharged from the skewer hopper 21 by the pendulum device 120 are guided to the first skewer conveying path 140-1, which is inclined upward at a predetermined angle. At the lower end of this first skewer conveying path 140-1, a skewer feeding blade 150 is provided to carry the flat skewers P sequentially discharged from the skewer hopper 21 one by one onto the first skewer conveying path 140-1.

[0044] In addition, a rotary brush 160 is provided above the first skewer conveying path 140-1, which rotates in a direction returning the flat skewers P on the first skewer conveying path 140-1 to align the flat skewers P on the first skewer conveying path 140-1.

[0045] At the upper end of the first skewer conveying path 140-1, a second skewer conveying path 140-2 is provided which is inclined downward at a predetermined angle and conveys downward the flat skewers P that have reached the upper end of the first skewer conveying path 140-1.

[0046] A skewer pressing member 170 is provided above the second skewer conveying path 140-2 to press down from above the flat skewers P being conveyed on the second skewer conveying path 140-2, and a skewer pressing roll 171 is provided at the tip of the skewer pressing member 170 to press down from above the flat skewers P stored in the skewer groove 22a of the skewer roll 22 from the second skewer conveying path 140-2.

[0047] The skewer roll 22 of the skewering device 20 is positioned so that the generatrix direction of its outer surface is close to the lower end of the second skewer conveying path 140-2, and stores the flat skewers P conveyed on the second skewer conveying path 140-2 in the skewer groove 22a and conveys them to the skewering position of the molded food.

[0048] 7 and 8, a skewer rail 230 having a skewer guide groove 240 is disposed at the skewering position of the molded food product, and the skewer rail 230 has a skewer guide groove 240 that accommodates the flat skewers P that have fallen from the skewer groove 22a of the skewer roll 22 so that their width direction is vertical. A skewer extrusion device 23 is provided in the skewer guide groove 240 to extrude the flat skewers P toward the molded food product formed by the forming rolls 10a and 10b.

[0049] Here, the skewer alignment roll 22 and the skewer extrusion device 23 are driven intermittently in synchronization with the intermittent driving of the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b, and as the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b rotate, the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b reach the installation position of the skewer rail 23 as shown in Figure 8.When the forming of the molded food is completed, the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b stop rotating, and at this time the flat skewer P in the skewer guide groove 240 is pushed out by the skewer extrusion device 23 toward the molded food formed by the first groove portion 11a and the second groove portion 11b, and the molded food is skewered.

[0050] The skewered food PD skewered by the skewering device 20 leaves the first groove 11a of the first forming roll 10a and the second groove 11b of the second forming roll 10b and is discharged onto the skewered food conveying device 40.

[0051] Fig. 9 is a side view showing details of the forming device 10 of the skewered food production apparatus 100 according to the present invention, Fig. 10 is a top view of the forming device 10 shown in Fig. 9, and Fig. 11 is a front view of the forming device 10 shown in Fig. 9. Also, Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an outline of the drive mechanism of the forming device 10 shown in Fig. 9.

[0052] 9 to 12, the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 of this embodiment is configured with a pair of forming rolls consisting of a first forming roll 10a, which is intermittently driven, and a second forming roll 10b, which is in contact with the first forming roll 10a and is positioned below the first forming roll 10a.

[0053] The first molding roll 10a has a plurality of first groove portions 11a formed at regular intervals on its circumferential surface, and the second molding roll 10b has a plurality of second groove portions 11b formed corresponding to the first groove portions 11a of the first molding roll 10a.

[0054] Dough is inserted between the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b from the dough supply device 30, and the dough is clamped between the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b to form a molded food product.

[0055] An air blowing port 20, which will be described in detail later, is provided at the bottom of the second groove portion 11b of the second forming roll 10b.

[0056] In addition, at the area where the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b come into contact, a skewer rail 230 of the skewering device 20 is arranged for skewering the formed food formed by the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b.

[0057] The skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 is configured to skewer molded foods using flat skewers P. The flat skewers P aligned by the skewer roll 22 of the skewering device 20 fall onto a skewer rail 230 provided at the point where the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b meet, and the flat skewers P that have fallen onto the skewer rail 230 are pushed by the skewer extrusion device 23 onto the molded food molded by the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b to form the skewered food PD.

[0058] The dough side guides 140 are arranged at both ends of the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b to prevent the dough extruded from leaking out to the sides when the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b form the molded food. The scrapers 150a and 150b are arranged to collect the remaining meatball dough remaining on the surfaces of the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b after forming.

[0059] The skewered food PD, which has been formed by the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b and skewered by the skewering device 20, passes the area where the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b meet and then falls freely from the second forming roll 10b onto the skewered food conveying device 40.To assist the skewered food PD in removing from the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b, the skewered food manufacturing device 100 of this embodiment is provided with a skewer push-out plate 160 that abuts against one end of the flat skewer P of the skewered food PD when the skewered food PD is removing from the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b.

[0060] The skewer push-out plate 160 is driven by an air cylinder 170 in synchronization with the intermittent driving of the forming rolls 10a, 10b, and moves the flat skewers P of the skewered food PD in a direction away from the second forming roll 10b. The position to which the skewer push-out plate 160 is moved by this air cylinder 170 is regulated by a stopper 161, which prevents the flat skewers P from jumping out of the skewered food PD.

[0061] The air cylinder 170 is composed of a guided air cylinder having a guide 171 and an actuator 172, and is configured to be able to move the skewer push-out plate 160 a predetermined distance in the horizontal direction.

[0062] Furthermore, in the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 of this embodiment, when the skewered food PD is removed from the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b, air is blown out from the air inlet 120 between the bottom of the second groove portion 11b of the second forming roll 10b and the skewered food PD, making it easy and reliable to remove the skewered food PD from the second forming roll 10b.

[0063] Air is blown into the air inlet 120 of the second forming roll 10b through an air outlet pipe 190 from an air supply device (not shown), and this air separates the bottom of the second groove portion 11b of the second forming roll 10b from the skewered food PD, making it easy and reliable to remove the skewered food PD from the second forming roll 10b.

[0064] Skewered food transport device 40, which is made up of a belt conveyor, transports skewered food PD that has dropped from first forming roll 10a and second forming roll 10b in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.

[0065] In the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 of this embodiment, when the skewered food PD is detached from the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b, a skewer pushing plate 160 is provided to abut one end of the flat skewer P of the skewered food PD, and air is blown in from the air blowing inlet 120 of the second forming roll 10b. The driving of this skewer pushing plate 160 and the blowing of air from the air blowing inlet 120 are performed in synchronization with the intermittent driving of the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b.

[0066] As shown in Figure 12, this synchronization is achieved by providing a skewered food release position detection dog 113 on the intermittent drive shaft 12b of the forming roll 10b, detecting this skewered food release position detection dog 113 with a skewered food release position detection sensor 114, and controlling the air cylinder 170 and an air supply device (not shown) based on the detection output.

[0067] Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view (Figure 13(A)) and an end view (Figure 13(B)) showing details of the second forming roll 10b of the skewered food production apparatus 100 shown in Figure 1. Also, Figure 14 is a perspective view (Figure 14(A)) and an end view (Figure 14(B)) of the second forming roll 10b of the skewered food production apparatus 100 shown in Figure 1, seen from the intermittent drive shaft 12b side.

[0068] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the second forming roll 10b used in the skewered food manufacturing apparatus 100 of this embodiment has one end connected to an intermittent drive shaft 12b, and has multiple second grooves 11b formed on its circumferential surface, with air inlets 120 formed at locations on its end face corresponding to the bottoms of the second grooves 11b.

[0069] When the skewered food PD is removed from the first forming roll 10a and the second forming roll 10b, air is blown into the air blowing opening 120 through an air blowing pipe 190 from an air supply device (not shown).
