Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is an array transfer of dried noodles into a storage box for dried noodles installed at a relatively high place in a dried noodle production line without breaking the noodles. The present invention relates to a dry noodle transfer device used for the case.

(Prior Art) When transferring dry noodles to a relatively high place, a dry noodle transfer device with a special configuration is used. However, an example of a conventional device is the one described in the specification of Japanese Patent No. 958366 (hereinafter referred to as "prior art"). Explain.
First, a vibration supply device is installed below, and two endless chains on the left and right are mounted behind it on a chain wheel on a rotating shaft that is mounted above and below the columns on both sides. The upper edge of the standing long piece is formed into a mountain shape, and each bucket having a weight on the bottom through a tubular portion is suspended at predetermined intervals through a spindle that passes through each tubular portion. Further, a roller is provided so as to protrude from each weight so as to guide the contact with guide plates installed on the front side and the rear side between both columns. In this case, when each bucket rises in the opening of the vibration receiving box, a predetermined amount of noodle strings is received from the vibration receiving box and conveyed to the chain wheel position above. Between the pulleys attached to the left and right of the upper rotating shaft and the pulleys mounted on the ends of the supporting rods that are extended rearward from the upper ends of both columns, a belt is provided so as to rotate around the weighing machine hopper. is there. Then, the noodle strips placed on the bucket move downward while drawing an arc between the two belts provided so as to rotate around the weighing machine hopper side. At this time, the noodle strips on the bucket are moved. On both belts. On the other hand, although the empty bucket that has been transferred descends, the noodle strings transferred to the two belts are stored via the weighing machine hopper.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The problems of the prior art will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 shows a state where the bucket containing the noodle strings is moved to both upper belts (referred to as a take-up belt conveyor) while making an arc motion as the chain wheel rotates. First, let the point A be the position of the spindle when the bucket reaches the apex, and let the point B be the position of the spindle when the chain wheel rotates by θ degrees. Is equal to the horizontal movement distance l'to the point a or the point b'when the chain wheel of the takeover belt conveyor is rotated by θ degrees.
Also, comparing the horizontal movement distance l from the point a to the point b on the rotation locus with the horizontal movement distance l ′ from the point a to the point b ′ of the horizontal belt conveyor, l < l '
Therefore, the larger the rotation angle θ from the apex, the larger the difference in the moving distance in the horizontal direction. For this reason, when the dry noodles are transferred to the horizontal take-up belt conveyor, both ends of the dry noodles on both belts advance ahead of the dry noodles on the bucket. Therefore, even if the dried noodles slip on both belts, the wall on the side of the standing short piece of the bucket will push the central portion of the dried noodles, which often causes breakage, or sideways shift or the like causes an alignment transition. It was difficult, and it had the drawback that it could only be put in small amounts in a bucket. Conventionally, various measures have been made to solve these drawbacks, but there has been no deciding factor.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an economical dry noodle transfer device capable of aligning and transferring a relatively large amount of dry noodles without breaking due to a simple structure and supplying the dry noodle storage box or the like. It is intended to be provided.

When the guide rail is disengaged, the bucket is in the most depressed state, and the noodle strings in the bucket at this time are transferred to the endless chain 16 (takeover conveyor). In addition, since the endless chain 16 has the mountain-shaped attachments 27 at both ends thereof, the noodle strings can be easily moved. Then, the bucket 22, which has come off the bent portion 29, comes into contact with the descending guide rail 24 'and descends while rotating around the spindle 23 as a fulcrum. The descending guide rail is formed so as to form a curve along the outer peripheral edge of the upper sheave and contact the outside of the endless chain while descending. Therefore, when the bucket descends, it can descend in a stable manner. The dried noodles b, which have been transferred to the endless chains 16, 16 ', move in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 according to the rotation direction of the upper rotating shaft 9 and are moved to the storage box 28 side provided at a relatively high place. Sequentially transferred and stored.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the bucket on which the dry noodles are lifted along the outer side of the guide rail for climbing rises, and at the bent portion of the upper portion of the guide rail, the bucket is tilted substantially rearward to gently dry the dry noodles. Since it descends while transferring, it does not push dry noodles against the front and rear walls of the bucket, and it transfers smoothly to the two endless chain strips on the left and right so there is no breakage and the above chain Since there is a sharp mountain-shaped attachment protruding at a predetermined interval, it is possible to align the dried noodles that have been transferred,
The structure is simple and smooth, and a relatively large amount of dried noodles can be transferred. Further, the present invention can be applied even in a place where the distance between the dry noodle supply device and the storage box is narrow, and an economical dry noodle transfer device can be provided. Therefore, there are excellent effects such as being useful for streamlining the dry noodle production line.
