Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial field of application) This invention is used in a machine that dries or roasts confectionery dough, etc., where the loading device and the unloading device are connected at an angle. This invention relates to a fabric spreading device that aims to evenly spread fabric sent from a carry-in device to a carry-out device, and belongs to the field of manufacturing conveying devices.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a machine that dries or roasts confectionery dough, etc., when transferring the dough from the preceding conveying device to the next conveying device, the preceding conveying device, that is, the carry-in device, is used. The terminal end of the transport device is an upper part, and the base end of the next conveyance device, that is, the carry-out device is a lower part, which are stacked one on top of the other.

In the device, the fabric sent by the carry-in device falls under its own weight at the terminal end of the carry-in device, is spread on the proximal end of the carry-out device, and is subsequently conveyed by the carry-out device.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, if the carry-in device and the carry-out device overlap at an angle, even if the spray is distributed onto the carry-in device at a uniform density, it will fall onto the carry-in device due to its own weight. There is a problem in that the distance between each piece of dough is unequal, making it difficult to efficiently and properly process the dough by roasting or otherwise.

Therefore, in order to spread the fabric evenly on the carry-out device, it is possible to put the fabric sent by the carry-in device into the spreader and then take it out again, or to have the fabric repaired by a worker, but this reduces work efficiency. At the same time, there is the problem of heavy labor.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a fabric spreading device that can uniformly and efficiently spread fabric from a carry-in device to a carry-out device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the fabric spreading device of this invention has a fabric spreading device installed near the front edge of the carrying device, at the upper part of the connecting part of the carrying-out device connected to the carrying-in device, on the side of the discharging device. It is characterized by a conical rotating body installed rotatably.

Note that it is desirable that the conical rotating body be supported so that it can rotate freely about a vertical axis and be movable in the horizontal direction. Further, the conical rotating body is mounted on the free end of the link arm and is positioned by an adjustment bolt. In addition, the rotational power can be obtained by connecting a flexible shaft to the shaft of the rotating body through a gear, so that there is no practical restriction on movement of the rotating body. However, this does not preclude the use of a rotating body with a motor.

The rotating body of this invention can evenly distribute the fabric continuously conveyed by the carry-in device onto the carry-out device by appropriately adjusting the height, size, rotation speed, installation position, etc.

(Function of the device) In this device, a conical rotating body is installed above the unloading device near the front edge of the loading device, so that the dough that is carried by the loading device and falls freely is caught on the conical surface of the rotating body. By adjusting the position at which the cone hits the conical surface and the rotational speed of the cone, the cone can be evenly distributed onto the conveying device.

(Example) Next, this embodiment will be explained based on the drawings.

Below the front edge of the first wire mesh conveyor 1, a cross feed conveyor 2 (corresponding to a carry-in device) that travels in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the wire mesh conveyor 1 is installed. , the proximal end side of the second wire mesh conveyor 3 that travels in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the traverse conveyor 2 is laid. A conical rotating body 4 is installed near the front edge of the traverse conveyor above the base end side of the wire mesh conveyor 3 (corresponding to the carry-out device) so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis. That is, the base end of a link arm 6 is fixed to one side of the frame 5 of the traverse conveyor 2, and a rotary shaft 7 is installed vertically at the tip of the link arm 6. and gearbox 8
The tip of a flexible shaft 9 is connected to the input shaft 10 , and the base end of the flexible shaft 9 is connected to the shaft of a motor 11 . A comb-shaped regulation plate 1 is provided on the frame 12 of the wire mesh conveyor 3.
3 is fixed upward, one end of an adjustment bolt 14 is fitted into the regulation plate 13 and fixed with a nut 15, and the other end of the adjustment bolt 14 is fixed to the tip side of the link arm 6. The link arm 6
The link pieces 6a and 6b are connected with a pin and are configured to be movable in the horizontal direction. In the figure, 16 and 17 are guide rollers of the wire mesh conveyors 1 and 3, and 18 is a traverse conveyor guide roller.

In the above embodiment, the dough 20 sent in the direction of the arrow 19 by the cross-feeding conveyor 2 falls from the cross-feeding conveyor 2 under its own weight as shown by the arrow 21, and when it comes into contact with the rotating body 4, the fabric 20 falls off the rotating body 4. By rotating in the direction of arrow 23, the particles are splashed in the centrifugal direction as shown by arrow 22 and are evenly spread onto the wire mesh conveyor 3.

In the above, since the size or amount of the dough 20 may cause problems in the spreading state, the adjustment bolt 14
is moved in and out in the direction of arrow 24, and the regulation plate 1
Select the best position by changing the latch position with 3.

(Effect of the invention) In other words, according to this invention, since a conical rotating body is installed above the unloading device near the front edge of the loading device, the rotating body bounces the fabric that has fallen from the loading device under its own weight and onto the unloading device. It has the effect of spreading evenly. Further, since the spreading is performed by a rotating body, it is possible to spread the fabrics that are continuously carried in and dropped in the same manner with the same efficiency.
