Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention utilizes so-called vibration to align fish bodies that have been supplied in different directions, and to align the heads of the fish bodies in the transport direction with the heads at the top. Relating to an alignment device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In order to process fish, it may be necessary to line up a large number of fish in advance so that, for example, all of their heads are facing forward.

A conventional sorting device for sorting and transporting such fish bodies is equipped with a sorting trough that is open at both ends in the upper and longitudinal direction and is inclined along the sorting direction. A conveyor plate having a plurality of linear grooves or protrusions arranged in parallel on its surface that intersects with the direction of the distribution is adhered to the bottom plate of the distribution trough. When a fish is fed from the upper opening of the trough, the trough is reciprocated by a drive mechanism, whereby the scales of the fish engage with the grooves or protrusions, and the head is turned in one direction. The fish body is transported. In addition, 1
Since the trough is tilted in advance for the 1η distribution, the fish body whose vr4 portion is facing rearward will not engage with the protrusion and will fall.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned prior art, the supplied fish bodies are simply sorted in the front-back direction, and fish bodies facing the opposite direction to the predetermined conveyance direction cannot be conveyed, and the apparatus l! The work efficiency is very low because the fish are dropped from the top, and it is necessary to provide a means to return the dropped fish to the top again, which makes the device complicated.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, to be able to arrange and transport all the supplied fish bodies in the same direction with their heads at the top, and to be able to arrange and transport them easily and reliably.

The gap between the inner surface of the reversing chute 31 and the fish body is the brush l1.
The thickness of the fish body is set to be slightly narrower than the thickness of the fish body in a lying state, so that the fish body can be transported while being reliably engaged with L30.

The operation of the fish head alignment device 1 having the above configuration will be explained. The rotational drive of a motor 10 installed on the base 6 is transmitted to the crank device 7 by a belt 11. The crank device 7 has a structure having an eccentric shaft, converts rotational drive from the motor 10 into reciprocating drive, and reciprocates the support n5 using the pivot point with the base 6 as a fulcrum.

By reciprocating the fulcrum rod 5, the distribution is carried out in the trough 4.
The distribution is driven back and forth along direction A. Therefore, when the fish bodies are dropped into the trough 4, they are sorted by the reciprocating drive of the trough 4. The fish's scales engage and the fish are sorted with the head at the beginning. The fish body with its head directed in the transport direction B is transported downstream in the transport direction B as it is. Here, the fish bodies with their heads directed in the direction opposite to the conveyance direction B are conveyed in the direction of the reversing means 3 and are sequentially thrown into the fish body amount 32 of the reversing means 3. The fish thrown into the fish storage 32 engages with the tip of the brush rfL30, is conveyed along the inner surface of the reversing chute 31 from the lower part to the upper part in the C direction, and is reversed in direction. The fish bodies are distributed again and dropped into the trough 4 along a guide plate 33 provided above the opening of the reversing chute 31. The rotational drive of a motor 10 installed on a base 6 is transmitted to the brush foot 30 by a belt 35. The fish bodies that are re-dropped into the trough 4 with their heads reversed are sorted out by the reciprocating drive of the trough 4.The fish bodies are sorted out into the coarse particles of the transport plate 18 stuck to the top surface of the bottom plate 15 of the trough 4. Face 19
The scales of the fish engage with the scales of the fish and are transported downstream in the transport direction B. Therefore, the fish bodies dropped into the sorting trough 4 are all conveyed along the conveying direction B in a downstream portion of the conveying direction B of the sorting trough 4 with their heads oriented in the conveying direction B.

FIG. 4 shows a fish head alignment device r11 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
This embodiment is similar to the previous embodiment and corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals. In the above-mentioned embodiment, among the fish bodies sorted by the trough 4, the fish bodies that were transported in the direction of the reversing means 3 and whose direction was reversed by the reversing means 3 are thrown into the trough 4 again. It was conveyed along the conveyance direction B. In this embodiment, the distribution section 22 of the conveying means 2 has two stages, upper and lower.
For the upper stage distribution, the trough 20 and the lower transport trough 21 are fixed parallel to each other, and at the same time, the distribution is driven back and forth along the direction A. Sorting is done through trough 20 and upstream transport trough 21
The distribution has the same structure as the trough 4 of the above-mentioned embodiment.

The reversing means 3 also has the same structure as the above-mentioned embodiment, but
The rotating direction of the rotating brush 30 is opposite to that of the previous embodiment. The reversing chute 31 opens toward the distribution section 22, and the upper part of the opening is provided with a fish body amount 3G to ensure that the fish from the trough 20 is received. A guide plate 37 is provided to ensure that fish transported along the inner surface of the reversing chute 31 are thrown into the transport channel 721.

As in the previous embodiment, the fish dropped into the trough 720 are distributed with the head of the fish at the beginning by the reciprocating drive of the trough 20, and the fish whose head is directed in the transport direction B are sorted as is. It is transported downstream in the transport direction B. Conveying direction B
Fish bodies with their heads directed in the opposite direction are conveyed toward the reversing means 3 and are sequentially dropped into the fish receptacle 36 of the reversing means 3. The fish dropped into the fish receiver 36 is transferred to the reversing chute 31.
The direction is reversed and conveyed along the inner surface from the upper part to the lower part along the D direction. The reversed fish bodies are dropped into the transport trough 21 along the r2 guide plate 37 provided below the opening of the reversing chute 31.

The fish dropped into the transport trough 21 is transferred to the reversing chute 31.
Since all the sheets are oriented in the opposite direction, they face downstream in the transport direction B, and are transported along the transport direction B by the reciprocating drive of the transport trough 21.

As described above, in this embodiment as well, all the fishes dropped into the trough 20 can be transported with their heads directed in the transport direction B.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the inverted fish body is re-distributed to trough 4.
Since the fish are fed into the trough 4 and transported in the direction of the reversing means 3, the sorted fish may collide with the fish bodies being transported in the direction of the reversing means 3, and the transport may not be carried out smoothly. In this embodiment, since the inverted fish body is transported only by the transport trough 21, smooth transport is realized.
