Abstract

Fruits are loaded each into an individual pocket of a multi-pocket, slat chain conveyor. The conveyor positions fruits beneath a stoning head where punches descend vertically to pass through the fruits and eject the stones. Before being loaded into its conveyor pocket, each fruit is preformed into a cylindrical shape of which the longitudinal axis is parallel to the axis of the stone. Pref. the fruits are rolled into cylindrical form between a horizontal conveyor band and a second band of which the contact surface travels in the opposite direction to the conveyor band and at a lower, linear speed than the conveyor. Pref. the load end of the conveyor projects beyond the second, superimposed band to expose an area of conveyor band on to which fruits can be spread from a hopper. Pref. the upper band is adjustably spaceable from the conveyor band without affecting upper band tension. Without preforming prunes are of irregular shapes and do not easily arrange themselves in the pockets of the slat band conveyor. The loading of pockets is a time-consuming manual task. After rolling into cylinders, the prunes can be loaded into suitable pockets automatically, without manual assistance.

Description

L'invention est relative à un procédé et à un dispositif pour faciliter le dénoyautage de fruits secs,tels que des pruneaux. The invention relates to a method and a device for facilitating the pitting of dried fruits, such as prunes.

Pour dénoyauter des fruits,il est courant d'avoir recours à des dispositifs comportant des plaques alvéolées, articulées les unes aux autres et formant une chaine continue passant successivement devant un poste de réception des fruits,un poste de dénoyautage où des poinçons poussent les noyaux hors des alvéoles et un poste d'éjection des pulpes en direction d'une trémie de réception. To pit fruit, it is common to use devices comprising honeycomb plates, articulated to each other and forming a continuous chain passing successively past a fruit receiving station, a pitting station where punches push the pits outside the alveoli and a pulp ejection station in the direction of a receiving hopper.

Traditionnellement,les fruits à dénoyauter sont déversés par une trémie sur les plaques se déplaçant en-dessous et sont répartis par divers moyens mécaniques dans les alvéoles de ces dernières. Traditionally, the fruits to be pitted are poured through a hopper onto the plates moving below and are distributed by various mechanical means in the cells of the latter.

Un tel dispositif donne entière satisfaction pour la plupart des fruits,tels que:cerises,abricots...mais ne convient pas pour certains fruits,dits secs et,notamment, pour les pruneaux secs.En fait,après séchage,les pruneaux, du fait de leur pulpe,peuvent s'agglomérer en tas.Ils subissent des traitements de réhydratation qui,s'ils favorisent la dislocation des tas,donnent à chaque pruneau la capacité d'adhérer aux autres.Par ailleurs,les pruneaux secs présentent des formes tourmentées,non régulières. Such a device gives complete satisfaction for most fruits, such as: cherries, apricots ... but is not suitable for certain fruits, said to be dry and, in particular, for dry prunes. In fact, after drying, the prunes, made of their pulp, can agglomerate in heaps. They undergo rehydration treatments which, if they promote the dislocation of heaps, give each prune the ability to adhere to the others. tormented, not regular.

Cette capacité d'adhérer et cette variation de forme extérieure gênent considérablement le positionnement des pruneaux dans les alvéoles des plaques du dispositif de dénoyautage,alors même que ce positionnement est rendu nécessaire pour orienter le noyau sensiblement parallèlement à la direction des poinçons de dénoyautage.Il en résulte que les pruneaux sont pratiquement mis en place manuellement et un à un dans les alvéoles,et que la Ca- dence de fonctionnement du dispositif de dénoyautage est considérablement réduite.This ability to adhere and this variation in external shape considerably hinders the positioning of the prunes in the cells of the plates of the pitting device, even though this positioning is made necessary to orient the core substantially parallel to the direction of the pitting punches. As a result, the prunes are practically placed manually and one by one in the cells, and the operating rate of the pitting device is considerably reduced.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir un procédé et un dispositif qui facilitent la répartition automatique des fruits secs dans les alvéoles des plaques du dispositif de dénoyautage.  The present invention aims to provide a method and a device which facilitate the automatic distribution of dried fruit in the cells of the plates of the stoning device.

A cet effet,ce procédé consiste,avant déversement des fruits sur des alvéoles de positionnement,à donner à ces fruits une forme générale sensiblement cylindrique dont l'a-ze longitudinal est sensiblement parallèle Q" celui de leur noyau. To this end, this process consists, before the fruit is poured onto positioning cells, in giving these fruits a generally substantially cylindrical shape, the longitudinal a-ze of which is substantially parallel Q "to that of their core.

Grâce à cette conformation régulière,les fruits secs et,notamment,les pruneaux,se répartissent plus aisément et automatiquement dans les alvéoles du dispositif de dénoyautage. Thanks to this regular conformation, the dried fruits and, in particular, the prunes, are more easily and automatically distributed in the cells of the pitting device.

L'invention vise également le dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé,dispositif comprenant,outre une trémie de distribution des fruits,d'une part,un convoyeur à bande,de réception et de transport et,d'autre part,un convoyeur à bande de conformation dont l'un des brins est parallèle à l'un des brins du premier convoyeur et séparé de ce brin par un intervalle réglable correspondant au diamètre final du fruit sec conformé et est animé d'un mouvement de sens inverse et de vitesse linéaire inférieure à celle de l'autre convoyeur. The invention also relates to the device for implementing this method, device comprising, in addition to a fruit distribution hopper, on the one hand, a belt conveyor, for receiving and transporting and, on the other hand, a Conformation belt conveyor, one of the strands of which is parallel to one of the strands of the first conveyor and separated from this strand by an adjustable interval corresponding to the final diameter of the shaped dried fruit and is moved in the opposite direction and linear speed lower than that of the other conveyor.

En d'autres termes,les fruits secs déversés par la trémie sont roulés entre les deux brins parallèles des deux convoyeurs qui assurent également leur conformation en leur donnant une forme sensiblement cylindrique,de diamètre extérieur maximal régulier et d'axe longitudinal sensiblement parallèle à celui du noyau.De plus,l'action en sens inverse des deux brins de bandes transporteuses oblige les différents fruits secs à se désolidariser les uns des autres et assure donc ainsi leur séparation,ce qui évite que des fruits secs en tas se présentent dans la trémie de la machine de dénoyautage. In other words, the dried fruits discharged from the hopper are rolled between the two parallel strands of the two conveyors which also ensure their conformation by giving them a substantially cylindrical shape, of maximum regular outside diameter and of longitudinal axis substantially parallel to that In addition, the reverse action of the two strands of conveyor belts forces the different dried fruits to separate from each other and thus ensures their separation, which prevents dried fruits in a heap from appearing in the pitting machine hopper.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui suit,en référence au dessin schématique annexé ,représentant,à titre d'exemple non limitatif,une forme d'exécution du dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé. Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the description which follows, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing, representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of the device for the implementation of this process.

Figure 2 est une vue de côté en coupe transversale d'un pruneau,
Figure 3 est une vue partielle en coupe transversale montrant la conformation donnée aux pruneaux par le dispositif,

Figure 2 is a side view in cross section of a prune,
FIG. 3 is a partial view in cross section showing the conformation given to the prunes by the device,
Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the prune obtained after its passage through the device.

Le dispositif représenté à la figure 1 est composé d'un chtssis 2 porteur d'une trémie 3 et de deux paires de flasques 4 et 5 portant les paliers de deux convoyeurs à bandes,respectivement,de réception et de transport 6 et de conformation 2.Le convoyeur 6 est plus long que celui 2,de manière que son brin supérieur 6a vienne au-dessous de la goulotte de distribution 3a de la trémie j.Sa bande 8 passé sur un rouleau d'entrainement 9 et sur un rouleau de renvoi 10. Le convoyeur de conformation 2 est composé d'une bande 12,d'un rouleau d'entrainement JI et d'un rouleau de renvoi 14.Le brin inférieur 12a de sa bande 12 décrit une trajectoire parallèle à celle du brin 8a du convoyeur 6.Les rouleaux JI et 14 du convoyeur de conformation 2 sont disposés dans des paliers,respective ment,15 et 16,dont la position transversale par rapport à l'autre convoyeur 6,c'est-à-dire la position verticale dans le cas de cette forme d'exécution,peut être réglée. The device represented in FIG. 1 is composed of a chtssis 2 carrying a hopper 3 and two pairs of flanges 4 and 5 carrying the bearings of two belt conveyors, respectively, of reception and transport 6 and of conformation 2 .The conveyor 6 is longer than that 2, so that its upper strand 6a comes below the distribution chute 3a of the hopper j. Its band 8 passed on a drive roller 9 and on a deflection roller 10. The shaping conveyor 2 is composed of a band 12, a drive roller JI and a deflection roller 14. The lower strand 12a of its band 12 follows a path parallel to that of the strand 8a of the conveyor 6.The rollers JI and 14 of the shaping conveyor 2 are arranged in bearings, respectively, 15 and 16, the transverse position of which relative to the other conveyor 6, that is to say the vertical position in in the case of this form of execution, can be adjusted.

À cet effet,chacun des deux paliers est monté coulissant dans un logement 17 du flasque 4 ou 5 correspondant sous le contrôle de vis de réglage 18. Le palier 16 peut également coulisser longitudinalement sous le contrôle de vis 19,de manière à ajuster la tension de la bande 12.T)e même,le palier 20 du rouleau d'entrainement 2 du convoyeur de transport 6 est monté coulissant longitudinalement dans un logement 22 de chacun des flasques 4,de manière à pouvoir ajuster la tension du convoyeur 6.Cette tension est réglée au moyen de vis 23. To this end, each of the two bearings is slidably mounted in a housing 17 of the corresponding flange 4 or 5 under the control of the adjusting screw 18. The bearing 16 can also slide longitudinally under the control of the screw 19, so as to adjust the tension of the strip 12.T) e same, the bearing 20 of the drive roller 2 of the transport conveyor 6 is slidably mounted longitudinally in a housing 22 of each of the flanges 4, so as to be able to adjust the tension of the conveyor 6.This tension is adjusted by means of screws 23.

Le brin 8a de la bande 8 du convoyeur de transport 6 se déplace sur une plaque d'appui horizontale 24 lui em pêchant de fléchir. The strand 8a of the band 8 of the transport conveyor 6 moves on a horizontal support plate 24 preventing it from bending.

Eventuellement,des rouleaux fous 21 ,montés sur un châssis réglable en hauteur,non représenté,assurent le maintien du brin supérieur 12a à distance constante du brin 8a du convoyeur inférieur. Optionally, idler rollers 21, mounted on a height-adjustable chassis, not shown, maintain the upper strand 12a at constant distance from the strand 8a of the lower conveyor.

Le canal lamellaire,délimité entre les brins 8a et 12a, est bordé latéralement,en amont et en aval,par les flasques 4 et 5 et,entre ces flasques,par des parois longitudinales 25 fixées aux flasques ou directement au châssis 2. The lamellar channel, delimited between the strands 8a and 12a, is bordered laterally, upstream and downstream, by the flanges 4 and 5 and, between these flanges, by longitudinal walls 25 fixed to the flanges or directly to the frame 2.

Lorsque des pruneaux 26 sont déversés par la trémie 3, ils descendent naturellement par gravité sur la partie amont du brin 8a du convoyeur 6.Ils sont ainsi déplacés en direction de l t espace lamellaire jusqu'à ce qu'ils rencontrent le brin 12a du convoyeur 7 de conformation,8 partir de là,chacun des pruneaux 26,qui présente initialement une forme similaire de celle représentée à la figure 2,est soumis à un mouvement de rotation sur lui-même provenant du déplacement en sens inverse,dans le sens des flèches 22 et 28,de ces deux brins 8a et 12a.Chaque pruneau est ainsi animé d'un mouvement de rotation dans le sens de la flèche 2q de figure 3 au cours duquel il prend,comme montré figures 2 et 3,une forme cylindrique dont l'axe longitudinal a une direction voisine de celle de son noyau 30.Le déplacement du pruneau dans le sens de la flèche 22 est obtenu grâce à une vitesse linéaire inférieure du brin 12a par rapport au brin 8a. When prunes 26 are poured through the hopper 3, they descend naturally by gravity to the upstream part of the strand 8a of the conveyor 6. They are thus moved in the direction of the lamellar space until they meet the strand 12a of the conveyor 7 of conformation, 8 from there, each of the prunes 26, which initially has a shape similar to that shown in FIG. 2, is subjected to a rotational movement on itself resulting from the movement in the opposite direction, in the direction of arrows 22 and 28, of these two strands 8a and 12a. Each prune is thus driven in a rotational movement in the direction of arrow 2q in FIG. 3 during which it takes, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a cylindrical shape whose longitudinal axis has a direction close to that of its core 30. The displacement of the prune in the direction of arrow 22 is obtained by virtue of a lower linear speed of the strand 12a relative to the strand 8a.

A sa sortie du couloir lamellaire,le pruneau présente la forme représentée à la figure 4.11 est récupéré dans un bac 32 ou dirigé directement dans la trémie d'alimentation d'une macnine de dénoyautage. On leaving the lamellar corridor, the prune has the shape shown in Figure 4.11 is collected in a bin 32 or directed directly into the feed hopper of a pitting macnine.

le roulage des pruneaux entre les deux convoyeurs assure également la préparation de la pulpe .En effet,malaxée par ce roulage,celle-ci se désolidarise du noyau,les adhérences fibreuses entre pulpe et noyau étant ainsi rompues en grande partie,l'éjection ultérieure du noyau peut être réalisée plus aisément. the rolling of the prunes between the two conveyors also ensures the preparation of the pulp. Indeed, kneaded by this rolling, it dissociates from the nucleus, the fibrous adhesions between pulp and nucleus being thus largely broken, the subsequent ejection of the core can be performed more easily.

Pour éviter de blesser les pruneaux de grande dimen sion,de mEme que pour ajuster le calibre,c'est-à-dire la dimension diamétrale des pruneaux utilisant le dispositif,il suffit de rapprocher ou d'éloigner le brin 12a du brin 8a en agissant sur les moyens de réglage transversaux des paliers 15 et 16 du convoyeur de conformation 2.  To avoid injuring large prunes, as well as to adjust the size, that is to say the diametrical dimension of prunes using the device, it suffices to bring the strand 12a or the strand 8a closer together or further away. acting on the transverse adjustment means of the bearings 15 and 16 of the shaping conveyor 2.

Il est à noter que,de par sa position décalée par rapport à l'extrémité du convoyeur 6,l'extrémité amont du convoyeur de conformation 7 forme une sorte d'entonnoir représenté schématiquement par l'arc d à la figure 1.Cet entonnoir,dont la partie inclinée et incurvée est animée d'un déplacement de sens inverse à celui du brin inférieur 8a,favorise la dislocation des tas de pruneaux et évite précisément que des tas parviennent dans le couloir lamellaire,au risque de l'obstruer malgré l'élasticité du brin 12a. It should be noted that, by its position offset with respect to the end of the conveyor 6, the upstream end of the shaping conveyor 7 forms a sort of funnel represented schematically by the arc d in FIG. 1. This funnel , whose inclined and curved part is moved in the opposite direction to that of the lower strand 8a, promotes the dislocation of heaps of prunes and precisely prevents heaps from reaching the lamellar corridor, at the risk of obstructing it despite the elasticity of the strand 12a.

Dans cette forme d'exécution,le couloir lamellaire,limité entre les deux brins utiles des convoyeurs,est sensiblement horizontal,mais il est évident qu'il peut également être incliné par rapport à l'horizontale ou mEme être vertical,en fonction des besoins et des fruits dont il faut assurer la conformation. In this embodiment, the lamellar corridor, limited between the two useful strands of the conveyors, is substantially horizontal, but it is obvious that it can also be inclined relative to the horizontal or even be vertical, depending on requirements and fruits whose conformation must be ensured.

Avantageusement,le dispositif est muni de moyens de nettoyage des convoyeurs,moyens qui,dans la forme d'exécution représentée ,sont constitués par des brosses rotatives 32 associées à des moyens d'arrosage,et éventuellement à des racleurs.Les actions combinées,d'arrosage et de raclage mécanique sur les brins libres des convoyeurs, débarrassent ceux-ci de toutes particules et dépôts adhé sifs susceptibles de perturber le roulage des pruneaux. Advantageously, the device is provided with means for cleaning the conveyors, means which, in the embodiment shown, consist of rotary brushes 32 associated with sprinkling means, and possibly with scrapers. The combined actions, d sprinkling and mechanical scraping on the free strands of the conveyors, rid them of all particles and adhesive deposits that may disturb the rolling of prunes.

Ce dispositif,qui a été décrit dans le cas de son application à la mise en forme de pruneaux,peut également hêtre utilisé pour tout autre fruit sec comportant un noyau allongé tel que les dattes ou autres.  This device, which has been described in the case of its application to the shaping of prunes, can also be used for any other dry fruit comprising an elongated core such as dates or the like.
