Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sorting material storage partitioning device in a sorting machine used as a place for storing sorted flowers and long vegetables (burdock, radish).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, a flower selector used when sorting harvested flowers into multiple ranks according to weight size is generally equipped with a selection processing route means for dropping the flowers at a position corresponding to their weight. A partitioning device for accommodating flowers of each rank is provided directly under the route means.

As a partitioning device in this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that a bottom surface of the sorting processing path means 5 located directly below the processing path means 5 is moved in the width direction of the processing path means 5 by a motor M or the like. The endless conveyor belt 12 is formed, and the flower horizontal placing table 16 is fixedly mounted at a position where the moving direction side of the belt 12 is extended, or it can be folded and stored as shown by an imaginary line k1. When the flower w group which is mounted in the state and further accommodated on the bottom surface is moved in the direction f1 of the conveyor belt 12 in the arrow direction f and is carried out onto the flower horizontal mounting table 16, the flower w group collides with each other. There is one provided with a detection plate S that detects the carry-out and stops the movement of the conveyor belt 12.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Although the storage compartment device of the flower selector described above can easily carry out the flower group stored on the bottom surface to the mounting table, the presence of the detection plate S hinders the handling of the flower w or the same. There is a problem that the board S collides with the flower w and impairs its quality.

An object of the present invention is to provide a sorting material accommodation partitioning device in a sorting machine which solves such a problem and contributes to downsizing of the device.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, the start-up switch is turned on and a timer operated in association therewith is moved in the width direction of the sorting process path means for a predetermined time set in advance. The bottom surface is formed by an endless conveyor belt, and a horizontal mounting table is provided below the conveyor belt so that it can be pulled out in the moving direction of the conveyor belt. The configuration is such that the materials to be sorted that have dropped onto the horizontal loading table are pulled out.

[0007]

[Action]

 The conveyor belt starts to move when the start switch is turned on, and the material to be sorted dropped on the upper surface of the conveyor belt is carried out from the belt surface onto the horizontal mounting table, and then automatically moved by the timer. Will be stopped. At this time, the group of materials to be sorted will be positioned on the horizontal mounting table without any enclosure, and will not collide with other objects.

Further, since the horizontal mounting table is pushed down below the conveyor belt in its non-use state, the horizontal mounting table hardly projects from the sorting processing route means.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a side view of a heavy flower selecting machine embodying the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line xx in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. 4 and 5 are views of the apparatus of FIG. 3 as viewed from the left. In addition, in these figures, the same parts as those in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals.

In the figure, 1 is a table for temporarily stacking the flowers w to be processed, and 2 is a continuous flower supplying unit that sequentially supplies each of the manually supplied flowers w to the next step. 3 is a sorting unit for sequentially sorting the flower w supplied from the supply unit 2 into a plurality of ranks according to the size of weight, and 4 is for controlling the operation of each unit of the device. This electronic control unit has a built-in microcomputer for making calculations and decisions.

Here, the sorting section 3 is a sorting processing route means 5 which is arranged to transport one flower w on a supporting portion 5 a provided at regular intervals, and this routing means. 5, the weight of each flower w is measured during the transfer, and the output of the electronic control unit 4 to which the measurement data of this meter 6 is input makes it possible to obtain a plurality of flower w of each support portion 5a. The flower ejecting device 7 which is supposed to be ejected at any one of the specified locations, and the flower w to be sorted which is directly below the processing route means 5 and which is dropped from the supporting portion 5a by the operation of the ejecting device 7. According to the present invention, a plurality of sorted flower storage device 8 is provided. Reference numeral 9 is a sorting section frame, and 9a is a caster for supporting the frame 9.

[0012] Therefore, each of the selected flower storage accommodation device 8 is as follows. That is, a partition wall 10 is provided on each side of the sorting processing path means 5 in the transport direction, and the bottom surface located immediately below the path 5 is operated in association with the turning-on operation of the start switch 11. The motor M is controlled by the timer T, and the transfer surface 12a is formed by the endless transfer belt 12 that is moved in the width direction of the sorting processing path means 5 for a predetermined time set in advance. It has been done.

At this time, the starting switch 11 is provided at a location where the accommodation compartment device 8 can be seen, and the timer T is incorporated in an electric circuit of the electronic control unit 4. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the endless conveyor belt 12 is provided with a pair of guide wheels 14a and 14b via horizontal members 13 and 13 which are the same body as the sorting section frame 9 and are wound around them. At the same time, by rotating the motor M via the electronic control unit 9, the motor M and one guide wheel 14b are rotated via a chain transmission mechanism 15 which is interlockingly connected.

A flower horizontal placing table 16 is provided below the conveyor belt 12 so that the flower horizontal placing table 16 can be pulled out in the moving direction of the belt 12. Specifically, the flower horizontal placing table 16 faces the lower surface side of the horizontal members 13, 13. The hook portions 13a, 13a are provided, and the hooks 13a, 13a are configured to guide the flower water flat placing table 16.

The horizontal mounting table 16 is provided with rod members 16a, 16a supported by the hook portions 13a, 13a on both sides, and these rod members 16a, 16a are connected by a plurality of beam members 16b. The plate member 16c, which serves as a mounting surface for the flower w, is fixed to the frame body, and the supporting leg 16d, which is adjustable in length, is fixed to the center of the beam member 16b at the front end. I will say what you did.

Next, a description will be given of a usage example and an operation of the apparatus of the present embodiment configured as described above. From the phantom line k position shown in FIG. 2 to the solid line position, pull out from below the conveyor belt 12 in the direction of arrow f1 and adjust the length of the support leg 16d as necessary to make the table top substantially horizontal. The set time of the timer T of the electronic control unit 4 is set to an appropriate value in consideration of the moving speed of the conveyor belt 12 and the length of the flower w. After that, the apparatus is put into an operating state and the flowers w ... on the table 1 are sequentially supplied to the supply unit 2, and the flowers w thus supplied are eventually supported by the supporting unit of the selection processing route means 5. 5a ...

The weight of the placed flower w is measured by the electronic weighing section 6 together with the support section 5a in the process of being conveyed along the sorting processing route means 5, and is related to this measurement data. The electronic control unit 4 generates a required output, and the flower discharge device 7 supplied with this output discharges this when the supporting portion 5a reaches a specific position along the sorting processing route means 5. As a result, the flower w on the support portion 5a is dropped onto the bottom surface of the selected flower storage device 8 of the weight rank corresponding to the weight of the flower w. Such an operation is similarly performed for the flower w on each support 5a.

Thus, as the sorting process progresses, the flowers w to be sorted are sequentially accumulated in each of the storage compartment devices 8. When this amount reaches a certain amount, the worker starts the start switch of the compartment device 8. 11 is turned on and operated to rotate the motor M.

As a result, the motor M moves the conveyor belt 12 via the chain transmission mechanism 15 and the guide wheels 14a and 14b so that the conveyor surface 12a moves in the direction of arrow f1. The timer T counts the elapsed time after the start, and when the preset fixed time is reached, the motor M is stopped and the movement is stopped. The movement of the conveyor belt 12 carries out the group of flowers w retained on the carrying surface 12a onto the horizontal mounting table 16, and the group of flowers w carried out is horizontal as shown in FIG. The stock portion w1 projects from the tip of the mounting table 16. After this, the operator has to move this group of flowers w to another place, but it can be reasonably performed by grasping the stock base w1 as it is.

The carrying-out operation of the flower w group from each of the storage compartment devices 8 and the movement of the carried flower w group to another place are performed such that the amount of the flower w staying on the transport surface 12a is constant. Repeat as you reach it.

When the work is completed, the horizontal mounting table 16 is pushed below the conveyor belt 12 to bring the support legs 16d into the stored state in which they are located at the virtual line k position in FIG. As a result, the mounting table 16 is in a state in which the tip thereof hardly projects from the sorting and conveying path means 5.

[0022]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention configured as described above, the group of materials to be sorted carried out on the horizontal mounting table is positioned on the mounting table without any obstacles to its handling. This is an easy thing to do, and since the group of materials to be sorted that is carried out on the horizontal mounting table does not collide with other objects (such as conventional detection plates), the quality is kept good. Furthermore, when not in use, the horizontal mounting table can be pushed under the conveyor belt, which contributes to downsizing of the entire sorting machine.
