JPS606219Y2 - Directional change device for raw seaweed - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention aims to change the direction of the seaweed by 90° on the seaweed transfer line.
Concerning a device for converting.

In conventional automatic flavored seaweed packaging lines, it is often necessary to change the orientation of raw seaweed by 90 degrees in the pre-process using a seaweed roasting machine, seasoning dryer, and counting and accumulating machine, and in the post-process of cutting and packaging the seaweed.

The orientation of the raw seaweed can be easily changed by transferring the raw seaweed onto another conveyor whose transport direction has been changed by 90 degrees, but in this way, the automatic flavored seaweed packaging line can be made straight. This means that all the raw seaweed that does not need to change direction will also change direction.

On the other hand, the applicant has already proposed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 52-59462 a device that changes the direction of the necessary seaweed by 90 degrees while keeping the seaweed transfer line linear.

However, the above-mentioned direction changing device that has already been proposed not only has an extremely complicated drive mechanism for changing the direction, but also uses only a seaweed pressing plate to push up the seaweed in order to change the direction of the seaweed. This is not preferable as there is a risk that the rotation may become unstable.

The present invention provides a new device for making an automatic line for packaging flavored seaweed in a straight line and changing the direction of raw seaweed as necessary. This was done for the purpose of stably lifting and rotating.

For this reason, in the present invention, a drive mechanism consisting of a drive motor and a speed reducer is placed and fixed on a motor support stand built on the main body, and a rotary plate for holding seaweed that is fixed to the rotation shaft of this drive mechanism and rotates at a constant angle. is provided facing above the raw seaweed transfer area, and is located below this seaweed holding rotary plate, and is moved up and down from the position below the raw seaweed transfer area to the position where the raw seaweed is sandwiched between the seaweed holding rotating plate and the seaweed holding rotating plate. A movable and rotatable seaweed mounting rotating plate is attached to the rod of the cylinder fixed to the cylinder mounting plate, and is positioned slightly lower than the top surface of the seaweed mounting rotating plate together with the seaweed mounting rotating plate. A seaweed lifting and stabilizing plate that moves up and down is provided, and by upward movement of the seaweed placing rotary plate and seaweed lifting stable plate, raw seaweed is held between the seaweed holding rotating plate and supported by the seaweed lifting stable plate, and the seaweed holding plate is rotated. The gist is a device for changing the direction of raw seaweed, which changes the direction of raw seaweed by a certain angle by rotating a plate.

The invention will be explained in detail below with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.

The seasoned seaweed is transported one by one from a seaweed roasting machine and a seasoning dryer (not shown), and a known counting and accumulating machine B is installed at the terminal position.

Similarly, C is a conveyance mechanism for conveying the raw seaweed that has been counted and accumulated (for example, five sheets) by the counting and accumulating machine B, and is constituted by a plurality of endless urethane belts 1 that operate in circulation.

In addition, E in the figure is a raw seaweed accumulating device that is not directly related to the invention of the present application, and is designed to be activated so that when a trouble occurs in the packaging process, which is the post-process mentioned above, there is no need to stop the operation of the previous process. .

F is the direction changing device of the present invention, and G is a conveyance mechanism having a large number of feeding claws provided at equal intervals on an endless chain, which operates intermittently, and whose operation is stopped while the device of the present invention is in operation. It's Nishide.

2 in FIGS. 3 and 4 is a rotary plate for pressing the seaweed, which is placed facing the area where the moss is transported by the urethane belt 1, and a motor installed on the immovable main body 3. Drive motor 5 mounted and fixed on support stand 4
It is fixed to a rotating shaft 7 of a drive mechanism consisting of a reduction gear 6 and a reduction gear 6.

A cam member 8 is fixed on the rotary plate 2 of the seaweed presser to restrict it from rotating by 90 degrees, and a limit switch 9 detects rotation of 90 degrees and stops the operation of the motor 5. It's Nishide.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a rotary plate for placing seaweed, which is positioned opposite to the lower position of the rotary plate 2 for holding the seaweed.

The rotary plate 10 for placing seaweed is mounted via a bearing 13 to the tip of a piston rod 12 of a cylinder 11 provided below the raw seaweed transport area so as to be freely rotatable.

The seaweed mounting rotary plate 10 is configured to move up and down from a position below the raw seaweed transfer area to a position where the raw seaweed is sandwiched between the seaweed holding rotary plate 2 and the seaweed holding rotary plate 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a feed pawl that also serves as a stopper for the transport mechanism G, and at the stop position of the intermittent operation of the transport mechanism G, raw seaweed on the urethane belt 1 is moved between the seaweed pressing rotary plate 2 and the seaweed mounting rotary plate 10. It is designed to stop the seaweed at a fixed position, and also pushes the raw seaweed that has changed direction by 90 degrees.

In the figure, 15 is a seaweed lifting and stabilizing plate, and the seaweed mounting rotary plate 1 is
It is positioned at a position slightly lower than the upper surface of the seaweed plate 10, and is configured to move up and down together with the seaweed mounting rotary plate 10.

For this purpose, a horizontal rod 16 is fixed to the piston rod 12 of the cylinder 11, rotation prevention bars 17 and 17 are fixed to both ends of the horizontal rod 16, and the nori lifting stabilizing plate 15 is fixed to the upper end of the bar. It is.

The anti-rotation bars 17.17 pass through holes 19, 19 formed in the cylinder mounting plate 18 to which the cylinder 11 is fixed.

In the device of the present invention having such a configuration, the raw seaweed is
Although it is placed on the urethane belt 1 and sent, its position is regulated by the feed pawl 14 of the conveyance mechanism G, which operates intermittently, and it stops at a position directly above the nori placement rotary plate 10, as shown in FIG.

In this state, the cylinder 11 operates, and the seaweed placing rotary plate 10 and the seaweed lifting stabilizing plate 15 stably lift the upper movable seaweed.

This raw seaweed is then held between the seaweed holding rotary plate 2 (the imaginary line position in the figure).

After that, the drive motor 5 operates to move the seaweed presser rotary plate 2 to 9.
Rotate by 0° and change the orientation of the raw seaweed by 90°.

Thereafter, the raw seaweed is returned onto the urethane belt 1 by the retracting operation of the cylinder 11, and sent out rearward by the operation of the conveyance mechanism G.

As described above, according to the device of the present invention, raw seaweed is lifted by the seaweed placing rotary plate 10 and held between it and the seaweed pressing rotary plate 2 located above, and by the rotating operation of the seaweed pressing rotary plate 2. Since it is rotated, it is easy to change the direction of the raw seaweed at a certain angle, and the conveyance line is made straight), making it practical to change the orientation of the raw seaweed as necessary. It has a great effect.

In particular, in the device of the present invention, the nori holding rotary plate is mounted and fixed on the rotating shaft of the drive mechanism that is fixed on the motor support stand built on the main body, and the nori holding rotary plate is fixed on the cylinder mounting plate. Since they are attached to the rondo, the structure for driving the rotary plate for holding down the seaweed and the rotary plate for placing the seaweed can be made extremely simple.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a seaweed lifting and stabilizing plate is provided which is positioned slightly lower than the upper surface of the seaweed placing rotating plate and moves up and down together with the seaweed placing rotating plate, so that it is possible to place and lift the seaweed extremely stably. This has an extremely practical effect in that the direction change can be performed stably and without damaging the seaweed.
