However, a rotating mechanism is added to the slide tilt shutter 10, and the container 2 is rotated by the rotating mechanism. It is also possible to configure so that it can be performed.

Next, the mechanism for packing long root vegetables in the mode shown in FIG. 3 will be described. This box packing mechanism B includes a foliage-side slide shutter 91 corresponding to the foliage side of the long root vegetables 1 to be placed, and a root-side slide shutter 92 corresponding to the root side of the long root vegetables 1. The long-side root vegetables 1 are accommodated in the lower container 2 by the backward slide of the root-side slide shutter 92 and the subsequent backward slide of the foliage-side slide shutter 91. The mechanism for sliding the two slide shutters 91 and 92 in the horizontal direction is a mechanism in which a guide shaft, a drive chain, a cylinder rod, and the like are appropriately combined, and is substantially the same as the above-described slide mechanism 51. Therefore, overlapping detailed description will be omitted.

The foliage-side slide shutter 91 has a rectangular flat plate portion 91a which is supported so as to be able to advance and retreat in the horizontal direction.
And an elastic member 91b fixed to the sending end of the flat plate portion 91a so as to be continuous with the flat plate portion 91a.
When the elastic member 91b is bent, the tip of the container 2
It is arranged so that it may enter a little. The elastic member 91b is formed in a flat plate shape from an elastic material such as a rubber plate or an elastomer resin plate so as to be elastically bent by the weight of the long root vegetables 1 for one box.

The root-side slide shutter 92 includes a rectangular flat plate member in plan view, and the foliage-side slide shutter 9.
It is supported so as to retreat in the opposite direction to 1.

The operation of the box packing mechanism B will be described sequentially with reference to FIGS. 10 (a) to 10 (d). First, a plurality of long root vegetables are placed on both slide shutters 91 and 92 in the fall protection frame 20. Class 1 is placed with the root side facing in the same direction (see FIG. 10A). Then, the tip side slide shutter 92 is slid backward. Then, the plurality of long root vegetables 1 deflects the elastic member 91b of the foliage-side slide shutter 91 due to their weight, and is sent obliquely into the container 2 from the root side (see FIG. 10B).

Next, the long root vegetables 1 in the oblique state are gradually laid in the container 2 by gradually sliding the foliage-side slide shutter 91 backward (FIG. 10).
(C)). When the long root vegetables 1 are stored in the container 2, the elastic member 9 of the foliage-side slide shutter 91 is moved.
1b elastically restores to the original state (see FIG. 10D).

In the box packing mechanism B, both the foliage-side slide shutter 91 and the root-side slide shutter 92 slide backward, but the root-side slide shutter 92 is replaced with a fixed flat plate. It may be configured such that only the foliage-side slide shutter 91 is slid backward to feed the long root vegetables 1 into the container. In this case, when the foliage-side slide shutter 91 slides back, the foliage-side vegetables 1 are brought into contact with the fall protection frame 20 and pushed out, so that the foliage-side slide shutter 91 is pushed out of the container 2 from the delivery end of the foliage-side slide shutter 91. Will be sent out gradually.

Further, in the configuration of the box packing device X,
Needless to say, the above-described box packing mechanism A may be replaced with the box packing mechanism B.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. (Claim 1) Since the long root vegetables are gradually fed into the container by the tilting movement and the retreating of the slide tilt shutter, no impact is applied to the long root vegetables during the feeding process. Therefore, the long root vegetables can be accommodated in the container without being damaged. (Claim 2) Further, since the slide tilt shutter is constituted by a conveyor mechanism, the conveyor mechanism retreats while smoothly feeding the long root vegetables, so that damage to the long root vegetables can be more reliably prevented. it can. (Claim 3) In addition, since the delivery end side of the slide tilt shutter is constituted by an elastic member which is bent by the weight of the long root vegetables, the tilt movement of the slide tilt shutter can be performed with a simple structure. According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a boxing device for long root vegetables using the box packing mechanism accommodates a predetermined number of long root vegetables in each stage and, if necessary, stores a long length of root vegetables in each stage. By changing the housing direction of the root vegetables by 180 degrees, the boxing operation using the volume in the container without waste can be automatically performed, and furthermore, damage to the long root vegetables during the boxing operation can be prevented.
