When the records in the table are examined in detail along with the specification set and drawings The following projects, which we consider to be directly related to the present invention, stand out. It is emerging: The last line contains application number 2015 / 06834 and the title "Bread dough scoring device". The project is to develop plastic handles (4) for use in bread doughs in the bakery sector. 70% of the end of the plastic body (1) consists of a plastic body (1) in which a razor blade (2) is fixed with 30% of it outside the body hanging hole on the back of the plastic handle (4) where the protective device (3) is located on the razor (2). (5) is related to the bread dough scoring apparatus found in the application 10. Upon examination of the documents and technical drawings, it was found that this device bore a resemblance to a hand razor. It appears to have a fairly simple structure. The application numbered 2015 / 13950, "Dough Booting Apparatus," is located in the 42nd row of the table. In the "Development" project, as in the previous device, there is a razor blade that can rotate at one end. It's a simple configuration involving a housing and a razor blade fixed inside it. 15 3 The project numbered 2018 / 05162, "DOUGH," is located on line 32 of the projects related to the known state of the art. "BOOT ATTACHMENT", in the invention abstract, describes "the use of the relevant product during the production of bread and similar products." so that it can take on its characteristic shape (for example, the edge formed on bread), The dough scoring tool used for scoring the surface of the dough, usable with one hand. 5 that allows its use and also prevents users from reaching for the blade. "It relates to the development that allows the blade angle to be adjusted without needing to be adjusted." It has been explained. When the technical drawings are examined, it can be seen that this apparatus also has a hand carrying a cutter at one end. It appears to be a tool. The entry in the 27th row of the table, 2019 / 19301, is "BREAD (DOUGH) CUTTING ROBOT". “10 loaves of bread that differ in shape, size, position and orientation on the production line It is summarized as "related to a robot that cuts dough with knives." Documents relating to the invention. Upon examination, it was found in the description section that "The bread-slicing robot (3), Camera and laser unit / subsystem (2), …, axial robot axis (4), lateral robot axis (5) ...” such systems The components are detailed. These elements enable precise positioning of the cutters. It is understood that the aim is to provide a system covering supply, installation, maintenance / repair, and upkeep. When considered together, it appears to be quite expensive and far from practical. For example... A laser and a robot for a problem that could be solved with the hand tool described in the previous project. A system implemented using this technology is economical for most manufacturers. It is obvious that it will not be preferred because it will not be available. Finally, in the 21st row of the table, numbered 2021 / 005039, "REPLACEABLE RAZOR BLADE 20" "BREAD DOUGH SCORING APPARATUS" "used in baking, for making bread, for scoring bread dough" Interchangeable razor blade bread dough developed for shaping by slicing. It describes another hand tool, summarized as "related to the bootmaking apparatus." The following inventions also relate to similar devices and systems and have been registered internationally. These are the inventions in question: 25 Publication Information Invention Title EP21735072A 2021-06-01 CUTTING APPARATUS FOR DOUGH PRODUCTS (Cutting tool for pastry products) US2012294965A1 (B2) • 2012-11-22 DEVICE FOR LOOPING RAW DOUGH PRODUCTS (a tool for bringing) EP3031754A1 (B1) • 2016-06-15 Buffer system for dough products.

When the bread dough goes into the oven and starts to bake, gas is released due to the yeast inside. This happens. This gas release causes bubbles and popping in the bread. By cutting the top of the bread, This prevents explosions and the surface of the bread from cracking. 5 The slicing process also ensures that the bread bakes and rises properly. The knives used to make cuts in fermented dough are small, unlike traditional knives. They are in the form of discs. The blades, in the known state of the art, move up and down and left and right. It is not possible. Because the blade is fixed, the arrangement and number of dough pieces are never 10. It must be adjusted according to the position of the blade without changing it. In this case, for example, If the dough coming from the fermentation escapes to the right or left of the set blade line, Because the blade is stationary, a clean cut will not be possible. The system, based on the known state of the art, does not include a blade watering system. This means that the blade... This causes the dough to stick and prevents a proper cut from being made. 15 Figures and Descriptions The Knife Throwing system is designed to solve the problems mentioned above.

It comes from fermentation. You can make horizontal or diagonal cuts in the dough. Move the blade up and down, left and right. 25 It is able to do so. Thanks to the rail slide system, the blade throwing group moves up and down, along the rail slide and... Thanks to the timing belt system, the blade ejection assembly can move left and right. The blade irrigation system is in place. When the blades come into contact with the irrigation assembly, the irrigation system... It lifts upwards via a pneumatic cylinder, allowing the blade to pass through the water. Thus... The dough doesn't stick to the knife and the desired shape is achieved. 30 The system components that perform these functions are detailed below: The cutting group (1) is the section that cuts the dough as it passes through the conveyor underneath. 6 The Blade Movement System (2) is a timing belt system and the Blade throwing group (1) moves to the right-left It enables movement. When the wetting group (3) comes onto the blade throwing group (1), it is pumped by means of the pneumatic cylinder (14). It is the lower part that lifts up, allowing the knife to be passed through the water. The Blade Movement Reducer (4) rotates the timing belt (15) horizontally on the blade ejection group (1) 5 It enables movement. It determines the position of the blade throwing group (1) in its horizontal movement. The Motion Reducer Encoder (5) is used. The timing belt (15) is attached to the right of the blade ejection group (1). It transmits the turning motion that causes it to move to the left to this group. The rail slide (16) that provides the right-left movement, the horizontal movement of the blade throwing group (1). It acts as a guiding bearing. Similarly, the rail slide that provides up-down movement 10 (17) also serves as a bearing that guides the vertical movement of the blade throwing group (1). Determining the maximum positions that the knife throwing group (1) can go to in its horizontal movement. The components are Position Limit Sensors (6). To see the Blade Throwing Group (1) They need to be adjusted. The blade motor (7) makes the blade (9) rotate. The rotation speed can be increased by 15 The cutting width can be changed by slowing down. Determining the position of the blade (9) height. The component used is the Blade Height Adjustment Reducer (10). The blade (9) cuts on the dough. It should be thrown and not touched by hand. The height position sensor (11) is used to adjust the height adjustment encoder (8). The blade throw angle can be changed by loosening the blade angle adjustment screws (12). The desired 20 After the angle has been adjusted, the bolts must be tightened again. Water tank container Position sensors (13), It is used to determine the up-down position of the water tank (18). In the lower and upper positions. While the sensors should see the sheet metal on the shaft. Water tank pneumatic cylinder (14) Water tank (18) It enables upward and downward movement. It operates with 5 bar air pressure. How the invention can be applied to industry. The dimensions of the blade throwing unit, which is the subject of the invention, are shown in the drawing sheets. The dimensions are covered by the application and the same functional features are preserved. Different applications may require different sizing and configurations. If cost / effectiveness analyses yield positive results, 30 for large-scale businesses. A fully automatic robotic arm blade throwing machine can be manufactured.
