Description

i i 149498 5 Opfindelsen angår en pølsepåfyldemaskine til fremføring af tilfældigt kommende pølser i orienterede rækker efter hinanden med indbyrdes afstand.The invention relates to a sausage filling machine for conveying randomly approaching sausages in oriented rows one after the other at a mutual distance.

Der kendes en maskine af den angivne art, der benyttes 10 til påfyldning af pølser på dåser. Foroven har maskinen et antal skråtstillede ved siden af hinanden forløbende, vibrerende render. Pølserne hældes tilfældigt ned over disse render og under indflydelse af vibrationerne anbringer de sig på langs i disse og 15 glider nedad gennem dem ind i i forlængelse af renderne forløbende rør, hvorigennem pølserne falder ned i under rørene anbragte dåser. Denne maskine har ofte givet anledning til driftstop gennem tilstopning af to samtidig i et enkelt rør indtrædende pølser.A machine of the type indicated is known which is used 10 for filling sausages into cans. At the top, the machine has a number of sloping, vibrating grooves. The sausages are randomly poured down over these grooves and under the influence of the vibrations they place themselves longitudinally in these and slide downwards through them into tubes extending in extension of the grooves, through which the sausages fall into cans arranged under the tubes. This machine has often given rise to downtime by clogging two sausages entering simultaneously in a single tube.

Det opnås ifølge opfindelsen ved, at maskinen har med større hastighed end de kommende pølser fremadlø-bende organer, der er indrettet til to og to kilefor-' met at nærme sig hinanden omkring en fremkommende 30 pølse på en sådan måde, at de kan gribe denne og rive den med sig. Da fremføringsorganerne bevæger sig med større hastighed end de fremkommende pølser, vil disse have en tendens til at adskille pølserne indbyrdes. Skulle to pølser vise. sig samtidig, den 149488 2 1 ene over den anden, vil den øverste enten glide ned bag den nederste og herved blive adskilt fra denne, eller ført fremad ad fremdrivningsorganerne og af disse blive slynget frem foran maskinen på et foran 5 denne anbragt opsamlingsorgan. Ved åt vælge fremdriv-ningsorganernes hastighed passende stor, kan man opnå en kapacitetsforøgelse i forhold til den tidligere kendte maskine, hvor pølserne var bundet til at falde gennem rørene med den af tyndgekraften bestemte 10 hastighed.It is achieved according to the invention in that the machine has at greater speed than the forthcoming sausages advancing means which are arranged for two and two wedge-shaped to approach each other around an emerging sausage in such a way that they can grip this and tear it with him. As the conveying means move at a faster speed than the emerging sausages, these will tend to separate the sausages from each other. Should two sausages show. at the same time, the one above the other, the upper one will either slide down behind the lower one and thereby be separated from it, or carried forward along the propulsion means and by these be thrown forward in front of the machine on a collecting means arranged in front of it. By choosing the speed of the propulsion means suitably large, an increase in capacity can be obtained in relation to the previously known machine, where the sausages were bound to fall through the tubes at the speed determined by the thinning force.

Ifølge opfindelsen kan fremføringsorganerne udgøres af to elastiske skiver, der roterer i samme retning på hver sin side af og under en tilf øringsrende, 15 ad hvilken pølserne fremføres efter hinanden, og som sammenpresses efter rendens udmunding set i skivernes bevægelsesretning og derefter sammen bevæger sig væk fra denne. Herved opnås en enkel og robust maskine, der nemt kan tilpasses forskellige pølsear-20 ter, og som nemt kan udformes til multiple pølserækker ved montering af flere par skiver om hver sin rende og på en fælles aksel.According to the invention, the feed means can be constituted by two elastic discs which rotate in the same direction on each side of and under a feed trough, along which the sausages are conveyed one after the other, and which are compressed after the mouth of the gutter seen in the direction of the discs. from this. This results in a simple and robust machine that can be easily adapted to different types of sausage, and which can easily be designed into multiple rows of sausages by mounting several pairs of discs around each groove and on a common shaft.

Ifølge opfindelsen kan maskinen mellem skiverne i 25 nogen afstand fra disses kant have et bundstykke, der er ført ind mellem skiverne et stykke før tilfø-ringsrendens udmunding, regnet i skivernes bevægelsesretning, og går ud mellem disse et stykke efter udmundingen. Ved udskiftning mellem bundstykker med for-30 skellig bredde og ved at montere disse i større eller mindre dybde under skivernes kant kan der herved opnås en bekvem tilpasning til forskellige arter pølser.According to the invention, the machine between the discs at some distance from their edge may have a bottom piece which is inserted between the discs some distance before the mouth of the supply chute, calculated in the direction of movement of the discs, and extends between them some distance after the mouth. By switching between bottoms with different widths and by mounting these to a greater or lesser depth below the edge of the discs, a convenient adaptation to different types of sausages can be achieved.

3 14948$ 1 Ifølge opfindelsen kan bundstykket efter udgangen fra skiverne danne en lukket rende, ved hvis indgang der er anbragt et kileformet organ med to arbejdsstillinger, hvor det kileformede organ i den ene stilling 5 spærrer for adgangen til renden og danner bund i en bort fra denne forløbende rende, medens det i den anden stilling danner en opadgående forlængelse af renden. Det bliver herved muligt på enkel måde at styre pølsernes aflevering, når de forlader skiver-10 ne.3 14948 $ 1 According to the invention, the base piece after the exit from the discs can form a closed groove, at the entrance of which a wedge-shaped member with two working positions is arranged, the wedge-shaped member in one position 5 blocking access to the groove and forming a bottom in a away from this extending groove, while in the second position it forms an upward extension of the groove. This makes it possible in a simple way to control the delivery of the sausages when they leave the slices.

I det følgende skal opfindelsen forklares nærmere under henvisning til tegningen, hvor 15 fig. 1 viser et skematisk billede af en udfø relsesform for en pølsepåfyldemaskine ifølge opfindelsen, set fra siden i snit efter linien I-I i fig. 2, og 20 fig. 2 viser et sæt skiver i den i fig. 1 viste maskine set fra oven.In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, in which fig. 1 shows a schematic view of an embodiment of a sausage filling machine according to the invention, seen from the side in section along the line I-I in fig. 2, and fig. 2 shows a set of discs in the one shown in fig. 1 seen from above.

Den på tegningen viste pølsepåfyldemaskine har foroven et antal vibrerende render 1, der hver især udmunder 25 mellem to elastiske skiver 2 og 3, der af to anlægsorganer 4 og 5 sammentrykkes kort efter udmundingen af renden 1, regnet i den viste omdrejningsretning for skiverne 2 og 3. Et bundstykke 7 danner sammen med kanterne af skiverne 2 og 3 en åben rende, der 30 forneden går over i en lukket rende 11. Over den lukkede rendedel 11 ligger et kileformet organ 10, der i den med fuldt optrukne linie viste stilling danner en forlængelse af den ene væg i rendestykket 11, således at den lukkede rendedel fortsætter op 149488 4 1 til det sted, hvor bundstykket forlader skiverne.The sausage filling machine shown in the drawing has at the top a number of vibrating grooves 1, each of which opens 25 between two elastic discs 2 and 3, which are compressed by two abutment means 4 and 5 shortly after the opening of the groove 1, calculated in the direction of rotation shown for the discs 2 and 3. A bottom piece 7 together with the edges of the discs 2 and 3 forms an open gutter, which at the bottom merges into a closed gutter 11. Above the closed gutter part 11 lies a wedge-shaped member 10, which in the position shown in solid line forms an extension of one wall in the gutter piece 11 so that the closed gutter part continues up 149488 4 1 to the place where the bottom piece leaves the discs.

1 den på tegningen med punkterede linier viste stilling af kileorganet 10, lukker dette for adgangen til den lukkede rendedel 11 og danner sammen med 5 to sidestykker 12 en åben rendedel, der fører bort fra rendedelen 11. Kileorganet 10 kan svinges over fra den ene til den anden stilling af et styreorgan 14, der igen styres af et ikke vist tælleværk med sonder 8 og 9.In the position of the wedge member 10 shown in the drawing in broken lines, this closes the access to the closed gutter part 11 and together with two side pieces 12 forms an open gutter part leading away from the gutter part 11. The wedge member 10 can be swung over from one to the second position of a control means 14, which in turn is controlled by a counter (not shown) with probes 8 and 9.

Ved brug af påfyldningsmaskinen hældes pølser fra oven ned i de vibrerende render. Påvirket af vibrationerne lægger pølserne sig på langs i disse og glider fremad og nedad mod de roterende skiver. Når 15 en forreste pølse i renden 1 når ned mellem skiverne 2 og 3 og hen mellem den indsnævrede del af disse mellem anlægsorganerne 4 og 5, klemmes den fast mellem skiverne og føres fremad med stor hastighed af disse bort fra renden 1 og den efterfølgende pølse. I den 20 på tegningen viste stilling af kileorganet 10 føres pølsen derefter ved den nedadgående lodrette del af skiveparret bort fra disse af bundstykket 7 og ned i den lukkede rendedel 11 og ned i en under denne ikke vist, stående dåse under påfyldning. Under frem-25 føringen mellem skiverne passerer pølsen en arm 8, der svinger ud foran et induktivt kontaktorgan 9, der afgiver en impuls til det ikke viste tælleorgan.When using the filling machine, sausages are poured from above into the vibrating grooves. Affected by the vibrations, the sausages lie longitudinally in these and slide forwards and downwards towards the rotating discs. When a front sausage in the groove 1 reaches down between the discs 2 and 3 and between the narrowed part thereof between the abutment means 4 and 5, it is clamped between the discs and is carried forward at high speed by these away from the groove 1 and the subsequent sausage . In the position of the wedge member 10 shown in the drawing 20, the sausage is then conveyed at the downwardly vertical part of the disc pair away from these of the bottom piece 7 and down into the closed gutter part 11 and down into a standing box (not shown below) during filling. During the feed between the discs, the sausage passes an arm 8, which pivots out in front of an inductive contact means 9, which emits a pulse to the counting means not shown.

Når dette tælleværk har modtaget et forudbestemt antal impulser svarende til det ønskede antal pølser 30 i en fyldt dåse, påvirkes armen 14, og kileorganet svinges over i den på tegningen med punkterede linier viste stilling. De følgende pølser føres derefter ikke ned i den lukkede rendedel 11 og den under denne stående dåse, men gennem renden 12 ned i et foran 149488 5 1 maskinen liggende, på tegningen ikke vist opsamlingsorgan, hvorfra de føres tilbage op i de vibrerende render 1. Ned i samme opsamlingsorgan slynges pølser, der ikke har lagt sig til rette på langs i renderne 5 1, men når frem til skiverne 2 og 3 liggende på tværs af disses fremføringsretning eller oven på en underliggende pølse. Det vil forstås, at der på tegningen kun er vist et enkelt skivepar af et større antal monteret på en fælles aksel i maskinen og med hver 10 sin lukkede rende førende til hver sin dåse i skiftevis hver sin række under maskinen. En sådan alternativ lukket rende 13 er i fig. 1 vist bag ved renden 11.When this counter has received a predetermined number of pulses corresponding to the desired number of sausages 30 in a filled can, the arm 14 is actuated and the wedge means is swung into the position shown in the drawing with dotted lines. The following sausages are then not led down into the closed gutter part 11 and the can below it, but through the gutter 12 down into a collecting means not shown in front of the machine, from which they are led back up into the vibrating gutters 1. Sausages which have not settled longitudinally in the grooves 5 1, but reach the discs 2 and 3 lying across their direction of feed or on top of an underlying sausage, are thrown down into the same collecting means. It will be understood that the drawing shows only a single pair of discs of a larger number mounted on a common shaft in the machine and each with its own closed groove leading to its respective can in alternately each row below the machine. Such an alternative closed gutter 13 is in fig. 1 shown behind the gutter 11.

Når samtlige dåser er fyldt, føres de videre til en lukkestation, medens en ny række dåser føres frem 15 og kileorganet 10 og tilsvarende kileorganer ved de andre render på ny åbner for tilføringen af pølser til dåserne.When all the cans are filled, they are passed on to a closing station, while a new row of cans is advanced 15 and the wedge means 10 and corresponding wedge means at the other gutters again open for the supply of sausages to the cans.

Det vil forstås, at maskinen ifølge opfindelsen kan 20 udformes med forskellige af tilføringsorganer 1, eller sondeorganer 8,9, eller styreorganer 10 til 14. I stedet for de mekano-elektroniske sondeorganer 8,9 kan der således ofte med fordel benyttes optiske eller kapacitive sondeorganer. 1 stedet for roterende 25 skiver 2 til 7 vil der i visse tilfælde med fordel kunne benyttes lineært fremadbevægede transportorganer, fx med kæder eller remme, eller med faste, kileformede modholdeorganer.It will be understood that the machine according to the invention can 20 be designed with different of supply means 1, or probe means 8,9, or control means 10 to 14. Thus, instead of the mechanoelectronic probe means 8,9, optical or capacitive probe organs. Instead of rotating discs 2 to 7, it will in some cases be advantageous to use linearly advancing conveying means, for example with chains or belts, or with fixed, wedge-shaped retaining means.
