Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention cuts incense extruded into a rod shape into a fixed length on a drying shelf board and aligns them.
The present invention relates to a pretreatment device for sending to the next drying step.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, an incense stick extruded and molded is placed on a drying shelf board, and an operator puts a ruler on it and cut it into a certain length with a hand cutter. Was there.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when the cutting is performed by hand as described above, the lengths may not be uniform,
Not only was the cut distorted, but the work efficiency was poor.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide an apparatus for continuously cutting incense sticks at a constant size without manual labor.

[0005]

An automatic incense stick manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention is a feeder for transferring a plurality of strips of incense extruded and molded by an extrusion molding machine by placing them on a plate body for each predetermined length. A conveyor is provided, and a return conveyor for returning an empty plate is connected in parallel with the conveyor, and a supply conveyor is provided for carrying a dry shelf board in which incense on the board is transferred, and the terminal is transferred from the supply conveyor. A fixed blade consisting of a round blade for cutting that rotates along the surface of the drying shelf board, a cutting conveyor that transports the drying shelf board at a required cutting speed, and a transfer device for transferring the dried shelf board that has been cut. A cutting device is provided.

[0006]

[Operation] To explain the operation, a plurality of strips of incense extruded and continuously extruded by an extrusion molding machine are cut into appropriate lengths manually or by an appropriate means, and are sequentially fed onto a plate. The incense sticks are received and transferred by the feeding conveyor. Next, the worker once densely arranges the incense sticks on the plate body in a horizontal row on the drying shelf plate, and places the incense sticks on the supply conveyor. The dried shelf board on which the incense sticks is placed is supplied to a fixed-size cutting device that is further connected. When the front end of the drying shelf board is supplied to this, the cutting conveyor is operated to further transfer the leg members by hooking them with bars. At the same time, the round blade for cutting descends together with the rotating brush and rides on the drying shelf board, cutting the ends and the middle of the incense stick or the required number of rows as it moves. At this time, the chips at the both ends are discharged to the outside by the rotating action of the rotating brush. When the drying shelves have been transferred, the cutting is completed and the cutting blade rises again. After the cutting is completed, the empty dry shelves are pushed laterally by the transfer device to be transferred and transferred onto the carriages arranged in parallel.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a feed conveyor 4 for transferring a rectangular plate 3 is arranged below an extrusion port 2 of an extrusion molding machine 1. Then, a plurality of strips of the incense stick 5 that are extruded and fallen are received on the plate body 3, and a cutter portion 6 that cuts both ends thereof into an appropriate length is provided.

Further, the end portion of the feeding conveyor 4 is bent so that the transfer direction is 90 degrees, is connected to the returning conveyor 7 arranged in parallel with the feeding conveyor 4, and the plate body transferred by the feeding conveyor 4 is connected. 3 is returned by the return conveyer 7, and the plate 3 can be transferred again below the extrusion port.

The arrangement relationship between the feeding conveyor 4 and the returning conveyor 7 is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawing, but may be another arrangement. In short, it suffices that the transfer for feeding and returning the plate body 3 is substantially arranged between the feeding conveyor 4 and the returning conveyor 7.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a supply conveyor, which is arranged above the supply conveyor 4 or the return conveyor 7,
The incense sticks 5 on the plate body 3 transferred from the feed conveyor 4 to the return conveyor 7 are separately and densely arranged in a horizontal row on a rectangular drying shelf board 9, and the drying shelf board 9 is dried. Can be transferred to the slicing device 10 that is connected next.

Further, the constant-size cutting device 10 controls the posture of the drying shelf plate 9 transferred from the supply conveyor 8 and drives straight at a required cutting speed.
And a cutting round blade 12 that rotates along the surface of the drying shelf board 9, and a rotary brush 13 for removing chips is provided adjacent to it, and the drying shelf board 9 that has been cut is transferred in the lateral direction. A transfer device 15 is provided, and a trolley 14 for placing and stacking the transferred dried shelf boards 9 is arranged.

The drying shelf board 9 used in the present embodiment is made of a conventionally used rectangular wood plate as shown in FIG. 3, and has leg members 16 bent in opposite directions at both ends thereof. When the drying shelf 9 transferred from the supply conveyor 8 is received by the cutting conveyor 11, as shown in FIG. 6, if a bar conveyor is used, the leg member 16 of the drying shelf 9 is held by the bar. It can be transferred while hooked. Further, the cutting round blade 12 may be fixed not only at both ends of the incense stick 5 but also at a fixed mounting position of the arbitrary cutting round blade 12, or the surface thereof corresponding to the movement of the drying shelf board 9. It may be configured so as to travel over.

The cutting blade 12 is a cutting conveyor 11
It is configured so that it is lowered at the start of the cutting operation so as to come into contact with the surface of the drying shelf plate 9 and rises and waits after the completion of the cutting operation. When the cutting is completed and the drying shelf board 9 reaches the end of the cutting conveyor 11, the transfer device 15 is immediately activated to push the immediate portion of the drying shelf board 9 in the lateral direction, as shown in step 7, and the carriage 14 It is configured to be transferable on.

Next, the second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the extrusion molding machine 1 is provided, and the plate body integrated transfer device 17 is provided adjacent to the extrusion molding machine 1. The feeding conveyor 4 of the plate body 3 is connected. Plate integrated transfer device 17
Is an elevator structure including, for example, a chain drive, and the plate bodies 3 sequentially placed on the elevator structure are automatically taken out sequentially from the lower stage or the upper stage and transferred to the feeding conveyor 4.

A return conveyer 7 is connected in parallel with the feed conveyer 4 and its end is connected to a return plate stacking device 18 adjacent to the extrusion molding machine 1. Reference numeral 8 denotes a supply conveyor, which is arranged above the supply conveyor 4 and is further connected to the constant-size cutting device 10 shown in the first embodiment.

[0017]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

It was possible to manufacture a high-quality incense stick with a uniform cut length and a constant length that enables continuous cutting of the incense stick.

If the number of round blades for cutting is increased, the number of rows to be cut increases, and mass production can be performed, so that the working efficiency can be greatly improved.

Moreover, since the work is simple, no expert is required. It can be said that this is an industrially useful automatic incense producing device because the structure and process are simple and the equipment cost is low.
