Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for transferring semi-solid clay such as clay, which utilizes the tension of the springs, using a plurality of rows of roller members, springs, and bolt members.

Conventionally, when cutting clay that is sent out one after another by a clay manufacturing device, the amount and length of clay that is sent out from the outlet of the clay manufacturing device varies.
It is difficult to automatically cut the clay to the same size, and workers generally have to cut each piece one by one, which is very inefficient. It was unsanitary and the clay produced also had drawbacks.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 135697/1983 proposes a roller in which the roller is elastically supported by a spring. As shown in FIG. 5, this device is equipped with a bearing stand c having a U-shaped groove b on a base a, and a roller shaft e of a roller d on this bearing stand c.
Equipped with a bearing member f that supports the bearing member f, an adjustment nut g that adjusts the height of the bearing member f, a coil spring h that gives elasticity to the bearing member f, and a locking member i that locks the coil spring. However, the rollers can rise and fall in response to the warping of the material, so that more rollers contact and support the lower surface of the material.

However, in this case, a bearing member f is provided below the roller shaft e, and a coil spring h is attached to this bearing member f, so that the base a of the bearing member f is
When adjusting the protruding length from the roller d using the adjusting nut g, for example, if the protruding length is shortened to lower the position of the roller d, the coil spring h will be compressed by the base a and the locking member i. Become. As a result, as the position of the roller d becomes lower, even when the transferred object of the bearing member f is placed on the roller d, the weight of the transferred object cannot be sufficiently absorbed by the coil spring h, and the weight of the transferred object is not sufficiently absorbed by the coil spring h. There is a problem in that it is not possible to maintain a predetermined speed for the transferred objects. On the other hand, when replacing the spring with a spring with a different elastic force to accommodate the type and speed of the transferred object, after loosening the adjusting nut g from the bearing member f, remove the bearing member f from the base a. The problem is that it cannot be done without it and cannot be easily replaced.

On the other hand, if the roller is suspended from above by a spring connected to an adjustment bolt,
It is proposed in Publication No. 57-51213.

However, this method is also not capable of absorbing the transport speed of clay, etc., which is transported sporadically.

This idea was proposed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.
Semi-solid viscous materials such as clay that are sent out one after another by the manufacturing equipment are absorbed according to the transport speed by the steps between the rollers and the strength of the elastic force of the coil spring, and then cut into the next cutting equipment. The purpose is to provide a device for transferring semi-solid viscous materials such as clay, which can automatically cut semi-solid viscous materials to a fixed size. It has a structure that can be applied to various semi-solid viscous substances such as waste.

The present invention solves the above problems by providing a transfer device having the following features.

A pair of left and right side support walls arranged in parallel on a base, a plurality of roller members spanned between the pair of left and right side support walls and arranged in the front and back direction of the left and right side support walls, and each of these roller members. and a roller support member that suspends and supports both ends of the roller member from above. The left and right side support walls have engaging parts above each roller member that engage the roller support members in a vertically movable manner, and the roller support members are screwed into the engaging parts of the left and right side support walls. It has a bolt member, and a spring whose upper end is connected to the lower end of the bolt member. A roller member is rotatably connected to the spring, and the plurality of roller members are arranged at appropriate positions to form a step by providing a height difference between two adjacent roller members. The elastic force of the spring and the strength of the elastic force stably absorb the transfer speed of the semi-solid viscous material such as clay transferred on the roller member.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows the entire device of the present invention, where 1 is a base;
Reference numerals 2 and 2 denote left and right support walls installed on the base 1 with four bolts 3 and nuts 4. The left and right side support walls 2, 2 are provided with vertical elongated holes 5, 5... at regular intervals in the side parts, and oblique elongated holes 6, 6... in the front part, and the upper wall part 7 is provided with the above-mentioned vertical elongated holes. Hole 5, 5...,
Nut members 8, 8, which serve as engaging portions for engaging roller support members to be described later, are fixed at locations corresponding to the oblique elongated holes 6, 6, . . . . As shown in FIG. 4, a roller support member that suspends and supports the roller member 11 is engaged with these nut members 8, 8, . . . . The roller support member includes bolt members 9, 9.
... and springs 10, 10..., the bolt member 9 is screwed into the nut member 8,
It passes through the upper wall part 7. The upper end of a coiled spring 10 having an elastic force is hooked and connected to the lower end of a bolt member 9 passing through the upper wall portion 7, and the lower end of the spring 10 is hooked to an end of a roller member 11. connected.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bolt members 9, 9, . . . have different threaded lengths depending on their locations. At this time, the spring 10 is under a load equal to the weight of the roller member 11 suspended below, and even if the threaded length of the bolt member 9 is changed, the state of the spring 10 will not change. In addition, in this embodiment, the spring 1
0, 10... are used with different elastic forces depending on the location, and the springs 10, 10, with weak elastic force are used.
10... makes it possible to absorb the speed of the transported object even more. Specifically, from the left side in Fig. 3, the tension is applied to strong part a, weak part b, weak part c, strong part d,
Bolt members 9, 9..., springs 10, 10 in the order of weak part e, strong part f, weak part g, and strong part h.

The height position is also set higher or lower than a predetermined position. Moreover, the roller members 11, 11, . In addition, the upper and lower elongated holes 5, 5 in the strong portion d in the center have their lower ends connected to the other upper and lower elongated holes 5, 5.
5...It is formed at a higher position, that is, shallower.
In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a support roller member that first receives the clay sent out from the manufacturing equipment;
No springs are used.

Next, an embodiment of the process of transferring clay A using the device will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The clay A sent out from the previous manufacturing device (not shown) is first received by the support roller member 14, and then the roller members 11, 11, 11,
11, 11, and then the connecting plate 1
The weight of the falling clay A is absorbed and received by the elastic force of the spring by the roller members 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11 of the tension weak part b connected by 2 and 13, respectively. . Then, due to the difference in level between the roller members 11...11 of the next weak tension part c, the speed is made even slower and the material is sent to the roller members 11...11 of the next weak tension part c. Further, the clay A is guided and transferred forward while absorbing the vertical expansion and contraction of the clay A by the roller members 11, 11, . . . in the weak tension portion c.
Next, the transfer of the clay A is strongly received at one end at the strong tension section d to stabilize the transfer speed, and at the next weak tension section e, the clay A is transferred again by the elastic force of the springs 10...10.
At the same time, the speed at the time of transfer is absorbed, the speed is relaxed by the steps of the roller members 11...11, and the transfer speed is stabilized at the next strong section f.
Similarly, the velocity of the clay A is finally absorbed in the next weak tension part g, and the transport speed is made constant, and then transferred at a constant speed to the next cutting device (not shown) in the next strong tension part h. The clay A is fed in and the cutting device is configured to automatically and continuously cut the clay A into a predetermined size. In addition, a limit switch is used in contact with the appropriate position of the clay to sense the amount of clay transferred, and the cutting speed of the clay manufacturing cutting device is adjusted accordingly, and an encoder is used to adjust the cutting speed of the cutting device. By making adjustments, it is also possible to cut the clay into more precise dimensions.

The device of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the tensile strength portion can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the size of the clay A and the properties of semi-solid viscous materials such as tofu and sake dregs other than clay. It is possible to configure the system in combination with the above to achieve optimal transfer.

As described above, in the present invention, the transfer speed of semi-solid viscous material such as clay transferred on the roller members can be controlled by adjusting the elastic force of the spring and its strength, and by adjusting the length of the bolt member. It can be absorbed by the difference in level.

Thereby, the semi-solid viscous material can be fed to the next cutting device at a predetermined speed, and the semi-solid viscous material can be cut into a fixed size by the cutting device.

Further, since the upper end of the spring is connected to the lower end of the bolt member and the roller member, the spring can be easily removed.

This allows you to instantly replace springs with different elasticity depending on the speed of the transported object.
This makes it possible to more effectively absorb the speed of the transported object.
