Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a boxing and weighing device for fruits, etc., and can be used in a boxing device for fruit in fruit sorting plants and the like.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: For example, in the sorting and packaging of potatoes, onions, etc., in addition to packing a certain amount into cardboard boxes of a predetermined size and sending them to the market, they can also be packed into large containers and stored in a refrigerator, and the seeds can be stored at a later date. Separate locations and equipment such as conveyor scales are often set up for each greatly different packaging format, such as shipping as potatoes, etc., resulting in complex facility configurations and cumbersome work.
There is also the waste of requiring a large amount of installation space.

Means for Solving the Problem This invention provides a weighing device [(2) for receiving and weighing objects supplied from a conveyor (1).
The structure of the boxing and weighing device for fruits etc. is movably provided at a conveyed object receiving position 1i2 (A) below the tip and at a non-receiving position (B) below the rear side of this conveyor (1).

Operation and effect of the invention: The measuring device (2) is located at the conveyed object receiving position (a),
When items are received from the tip of the upper conveyor (1), they can be packed into boxes using a weighing device (2). In addition, when moving the weighing device (2) to the non-receiving position (b) below the rear side of the conveyor (1), place another conveyed object receiver below the tip of the conveyor (1). Even if there are multiple types of object receptacles, the same conveyor (1) can be used to switch between the objects to be transported. The weighing device moved to the bottom of the back side of 1) is attached to this conveyor (1).
It also does not interfere with the transportation of objects, container packing, or boxing work at the conveyed object receiving station (A).

Embodiment In the illustrated example, the boxing and weighing device for fruits, etc. is a sorting machine (3
) A cardboard box (5) is placed below the tip of the control conveyor (1) that receives and conveys the objects from the pull-out conveyor (4) provided at each outlet to take out the fruit that has been sorted and sorted according to size. The following is an example of a boxing and weighing device that packs into boxes.

The conveyor (1) is a belt conveyor (1), and a chute (6) is provided at the start end of the transfer, and a drive pulley (7) at the front end of the transfer is provided with a drive pulley (7) that can move up and down on the side wall of the conveyor (1). A pivotably supported chute (8) is provided, from which the fruit is dropped and fed into a cardboard box (5) placed on the weighing device (2) below, and when a predetermined amount is reached, the weighing device is At the same time as stopping the conveyor (1) due to weighing, the tip chute (8) is pivoted upward to prevent the fruit from falling.

Interlocking control is implanted as appropriate. Further, the conveyor (1) is provided on a pedestal (9). The pedestal (9) is provided with a pedestal (9) arm portion (10) that protrudes toward the tip side of the conveyor,
The arm part (10) has a movable hopper (11) +
And at the bottom of this hopper (11), a motor (12)
A bellows-shaped chute (14) is provided that can be vertically expanded and contracted by a wire (13) that is wound and fed out by the rotation of the chute (14), and a sensor (15) is installed at the lower end of this chute (14).
The fruit collected at the bottom of the large container (16) guided by the extended chute (14) is detected by the sensor (15).
), the motor (12) is rotated, the wire is wound up until there is no contact between the sensor (15) and the fruit, and the chute (14) is linearly moved, and this operation is repeatedly linked. be done.

In addition, the weighing device (2) is mounted on the pedestal (9) in the front and back direction (c).
A roller (17) is provided for guiding and moving.

The weighing device (2) is a frame in which a frame side frame (18) is sandwiched between the upper and lower rollers (17) of the rollers (17) provided on the left and right front sides of the frame (9) of the conveyor (1). A platform scale (19) is provided at the front end of the top, and this platform scale (19)
) A support (21) is provided on the mounting table (20) of the support (2).
1) A hopper (22) is supported at the upper end, and a cardboard box (5) is provided below the hopper (22), which is supported in a vertically adjustable manner with respect to the column (21).
) A mounting stand (23) is provided.

The weighing section of the platform scale (19) is equipped with an adjustable amount to fill the box (5), and when the amount is reached, the upper conveyor (1)
The chute (8) is appropriately interlocked to stop the transfer of the fruit and to rotate the chute (8) about the pivot to prevent the fruit from falling. The weighing device is movable and fixed in the front and back directions (B) by rollers (17), with the front position being the conveyed object receiving position (A) (Fig. 1) and the back position being the non-receiving position (Ro). ) (Figure 2). (24) drives the conveyor (1), which stopped after filling M (5) with a fixed quantity, and
This is a push button switch that returns the upper chute (8) to its original fruit guiding position.

Note that the movement of the weighing device (2) in the front/rear direction (c) may be appropriately linked to the prime mover.

When packing the fruit sorted by the sorter (3) into a cardboard box (5), the weighing device (2) is pulled out from the stand (9) of the conveyor (1) and fixed in the fruit receiving position (A). Then, place the cardboard box (5) on the stand (23) provided on the platform scale (19), press the switch (24) to drive the conveyor (1), and send the fruit flowing down from the chute (8) into the hopper (22). ) and then packed in boxes. Conveyor (1) that is interlocked due to weighing when the quantity of packaging is reached
At the same time, the chute (8) rotates to the upper position and acts as a shutter, so the box (5) filled with fruit is taken out from the weighing device (2), and the empty cardboard box (5) is placed on the stand ( 23) When the fruit is placed on top and the switch (24) is pressed, the short (8) returns to the guiding position and at the same time the conveyor (1) is driven and the fruit is supplied to the box (5). In this way, fruits can be packed into new boxes (5) one after another.

In addition, when packing a large amount into a large container, push the frame side frame (18) of the weighing device (2) and press the roller (
17) is pushed into the fruit non-receiving position (B) on the back side of the conveyor (1) while rolling and fixed therein, and the large container (16) is placed below the chute (8) of the conveyor (1), and the hopper (11) ) is moved to the position where the fruit is received from the chute (8), the motor (12) is rotated to extend and hang the chute (14), and the switch (24) is moved.
When the conveyor (1) is driven by pressing , the fruits to be transferred are transferred from the hopper (11) to the bellows-shaped shoe (14).
While rolling back and forth on the inclined slope, it lands on the bottom of the container (16) without increasing its falling speed, and gradually accumulates and contacts the sensor (15). When the sensor (15) detects contact with the fruit, the motor (12) is activated to wind up the wire (13) for a certain length and then stop. When fruit is continued to be fed at this position and the sensor (15) detects fruit again, the shoot is moved linearly as before. By repeating this operation, the products can be packed into a large container.
