Description

PATENTKRAV: 1. Fremgangsmåde til frembringelse af vægtbestemte portioner af emner såsom hele fisk, som er langstrakte og ikke-symmetriske omkring deres midte, og som serielt tilføres til en portioneringsstation, hvori de arrangeres til pakning i kasser i henhold til forudbestemte kriterier for total portionsvægt og gensidigt omvendte orienteringer af de ikke-symmetiske emner, kendetegnet ved at der til kombineret udvejning og gruppering af emnerne gøres brug af en datamatstyret udvælgelse og sammenføring af relevante emner, som efter individuel vejning overføres automatisk for anbringelse i kassen på en sådan måde, at de sammenførte emner vil opfylde ikke alene den relevante portionsvægtbetingelse, men også betingelser med hensyn til gensidig modsat orientering af emnerne. 2. Fremgangsmåde ifølge krav 1, ved hvilken emnerne fødes til en vejestation i portioneringsstationen med ensartet orientering og fremføres videre langs en udsorteringstransportør, som har selektivt aktiverbare udstyringsmidler for udføring af emnerne til respektive modtagestationer langs en transportbane, idet der udføres relevante vendinger ad mekanisk vej enten ved indgangen til sorteringstransportøren eller i de nævnte modtagestationer. 3. Fremgangsmåde ifølge krav 2, ved hvilken vendingerne styres af nævnte styredatamat efter bestemmelse af allokeringen af hvert enkelt emne til en udvalgt modtagestation. 4. Fremgangsmåde ifølge krav 3, ved hvilken vendingerne, når disse udføres i modtagestationerne, udføres som relativvendinger ved drejning af en opsamlingsbeholder efter modtagelse af det sidste emne, i forhold til hvilket det næstfølgende emne eller mindre antal af nye emner skal vendes. 5. Fremgangsmåde ifølge krav 3, ved hvilken vendingerne, når disse udføres i modtagestationerne, udføres på aktiv måde ved drejning af intermediære modtagemidler med påfølgende afgivelse af det eller de drejede emner til opsamlingsbeholderen. 6. Fremgangsmåde ifølge krav 3, ved hvilken drejningerne, når disse udføres i modtagestationerne, udføres ved brug af føringssliskemidler, som fører de emner, der skal drejes, på en sådan måde, at de ved denne føring drejes forud for deres aflevering til opsamlingsbeholderen. 7. Fremgangsmåde ifølge ethvert af kravene 2-6, ved hvilken de relevante vendinger udføres på relativ måde ved drejning af de emner, der skal vendes, gennem en vinkel afvigende fra 180°, medens alle øvrige emner drejes gennem en komplementærvinkel for opnåelse af relative drejninger på 180°, f.eks. ved drejning af de respektive emner gennem 90° i modsatte retninger eller endog efter drejning af alle øvrige emner, som skal drejes operationelt. 8. Fremgangsmåde ifølge krav 2, ved hvilken de relevante vendinger effektueres i nævnte modtagestationer, styret ved lokal detektering af ankomsten af emner, som skal vendes. 9. Fremgangsmåde ifølge krav 1, ved hvilken emnerne fødes til vejestationen med skiftende modsatte orienteringer, som opretholdes under vejnings- og udsorteringsoperationerne, idet styredatamaten for allokeringsbestemmelse udnyttes til for valg af en given modtagestation at vælge et emne, som har ikke alene den relevante vægt, men også en relevant orientering i forhold til orienteringen af det eller de emner, som forudgående er blevet allokeret til den pågældende station. 10. Anlæg til vægtbestemt udportionering af emner med varierende vægt såsom hele fisk, som er aflange og ikke-symme-triske omkring deres midte, baseret på en seriel tilførsel af sådanne emner til en portioneringsstation, der omfatter en vejestation med en styredatamat og et fordelingssystem for udfordeling af emnerne til respektive opsamlingsbeholdere for vægtstyret sammenføring af emner deri, kendetegnet ved at anlægget er opbygget med henblik på at arrangere de ikke-symmetriske emner i hver portion generelt med gensidigt omvendte længdeorienteringer, idet den nævnte styredatamat er indrettet til enten a) at bestemme allokeringen af de enkelte emner til respektive modtagestationer ikke alene baseret på den registrerede vægt af emnet, men også baseret på orien teringen af emner, således som dette tilføres til ve-jestationen i en strøm af emner med skiftende modsatte orienteringer; eller b) at bestemme allokeringen af de enkelte emner baseret på den registrerede vægt af emnet, således som dette tilføres til vejestationen i en strøm af ensartet orienterede emner, idet anlægget omfatter midler til udførelse af selektive lændevendinger af allerede allokeringsbestemte emner enten ved indgangen til udfordelingssystemet eller i hver af de tilhørende respektive modtagestationer. 11. Anlæg ifølge krav 10, hvori vendingsmidlerne i tilfælde b) udgøres af en horisontalt drejelig bufferkasse anbragt lige ovenover opsamlingsbeholderen og nedenunder en modtageåbning for den pågældende modtagestation, hvilken bufferbeholder er således udformet, at den kan tømmes ned i opsamlingsbeholderen.A method for producing weighted portions of items such as whole fish which are elongated and non-symmetrical about their center and are serially fed to a serving station in which they are arranged for packing in boxes according to predetermined criteria for total portion weight and reciprocally oriented orientations of the non-symmetric items, characterized by the use of a computer-controlled selection and grouping of relevant items which, after individual weighing, are automatically transferred for placement in the box in such a way that the combined items will meet not only the relevant portion weight condition, but also conditions with respect to mutual orientation of the items. The method of claim 1, wherein the blanks are fed to a weighing station in the batching station of uniform orientation and further advanced along a sorting conveyor having selectively activatable equipment means for carrying the blanks to respective receiving stations along a conveying path, making relevant turns by mechanical means. either at the entrance to the sorting conveyor or at said receiving stations. The method of claim 2, wherein the turns are controlled by said control computer after determining the allocation of each item to a selected receiving station. The method of claim 3, wherein the turns, when performed at the receiving stations, are performed as relative turns by rotating a collection container upon receipt of the last item, relative to which the next subject or smaller number of new items are to be turned. The method of claim 3, wherein the turns, when performed at the receiving stations, are performed in an active manner by rotating intermediate receiving means with subsequent delivery of the rotated blank (s) to the collection container. The method of claim 3, wherein the turns, when performed at the receiving stations, are performed using guide grinding means which guide the items to be rotated in such a way that they are rotated prior to their delivery to the collection container. A method according to any one of claims 2-6, wherein the relevant turns are performed in a relative manner by rotating the blanks to be turned through an angle deviating from 180 ° while all other blanks are rotating through a complementary angle to obtain relative 180 ° turns, e.g. by rotating the respective workpieces through 90 ° in opposite directions or even after turning all other workpieces to be operated. The method of claim 2, wherein the relevant turns are executed at said receiving stations, controlled by the local detection of the arrival of items to be reversed. The method of claim 1, wherein the items are fed to the weighing station with alternating opposite orientations maintained during the weighing and sorting operations, the allocation determination control computer being utilized to select a given receiving station not only having the relevant weight , but also a relevant orientation relative to the orientation of the item (s) previously allocated to that station. 10. Plants for weight-based portioning of items of varying weight, such as whole fish, which are elongated and non-symmetrical around their center, based on a serial supply of such items to a serving station comprising a weighing station with a control computer and a distribution system for challenging the items to respective collection containers for weight-controlled assembly of items therein, characterized in that the plant is constructed to arrange the non-symmetrical items in each batch generally with reciprocally longitudinal orientations, said control computer being arranged to either a) determining the allocation of the individual items to respective receiving stations not only based on the recorded weight of the item but also based on the orientation of items as it is fed to the weigh station in a stream of items of varying opposite orientations; or b) determining the allocation of the individual items based on the recorded weight of the item as it is fed to the weigh station in a stream of uniformly oriented items, the facility comprising means for performing selective lumbar turns of already allocated items either at the entrance to the challenge system or at each of the respective respective receiving stations. An installation as claimed in claim 10, wherein the turning means in case b) is constituted by a horizontally pivotal buffer box located just above the collection container and below a receiving port for the receiving station concerned, which buffer container is designed to be emptied into the collection container.
