Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome the problem such that a small fish having a relatively large body with a length exceeding 35 mm is damaged by a drop from a convey er to a next conveyer, when the small fish used as a dried sardine material is moved to the next conveyer in a manufacturing process of the dried sardine. SOLUTION: This conveyer device comprises a combination of a first conveyer for transferring the small fish and a second conveyer for receiving the transferred small fish, and a slip plate is interposed between the terminal end of the first conveyer on the upper side in the vertical direction and the starting end of the second conveyer on the lower side.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a belt conveyor suitable for transferring a large amount of small fish for boiled in a cooking pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the manufacturing process of boiled-dried fish, shirasu fish (a common name for larvae of sardines) boiled by a cooking pot is dropped on a mesh-made belt of a belt conveyor, cooled and drained while moving. And do. When the Shirasu fish arrives at the end of the conveyor, put it on the next conveyor and apply the wind to separate it by wind selection and remove impurities (for example,
JP-A-6-5491). Then, at the time of this replacement, in order to improve the wind on the Shirasu fish in the next step, an operation of spreading the Shirasu fish thinly and widely on the conveyor is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the rotating disk 92 and the net 9
3 and receive the shirasu fish falling from the conveyor 94 in the previous step on the rotating disk 92, and centrifugally force the aforementioned conveyor 91.
Is spread on the conveyor belt 95.

[0003]

However, when a small fish to be boiled and dried is moved to the next conveyor, if the head is relatively large, the fish body may be damaged. Notable for fish. For example, if the fish length exceeds 35 mm, the spine of the fish becomes hard, so when moving from the first conveyor to the next conveyor, the fish meat may be separated by the impact of falling, Reduced quality and generated a lot of debris. In addition, the diffusion of white fish using the power of the rotating disk 92 also promoted the problem of damaging the fish.

[0004]

An object of the present invention is to provide a combination of a first conveyor for transferring small fish immediately after being boiled and a second conveyor for receiving the transferred small fish. The end of the placed first conveyor;
The problem can be solved by interposing a sliding plate formed in a conical surface between the lower end and the starting end of the second conveyor. There, the sliding plate has a conical surface formed by bending a stainless steel plate, with a narrow top corresponding to the lower side of the first conveyor and a wide skirt corresponding to the upper surface of the second conveyor. It is preferable to attach it.

[0005]

The small fish falling from the end of the first conveyor falls on the slide plate with a small head before falling on the second conveyor. Then, while developing in the width direction along the inclined surface of the slide plate, the slide plate slowly slides down onto the second conveyor.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIGS. 1 and 3, reference numeral 10 denotes a conveyor for transferring small fishes according to an embodiment of the present invention. The conveyor device 10 includes a first conveyor 20 for transferring small fish f immediately after being boiled by a boiling pot (not shown), and a second conveyor 30 for receiving the transferred small fish f. In this embodiment, the two conveyors 20 and 30 are linearly arranged in the longitudinal direction, and are respectively disposed between the lower rollers 22 and 32 supported by the frames 21 and 31 and the upper rollers 23 and 33. Has a conveyor belt 24, 34 wound around. Both of the conveyor belts 24 and 34 have upper surfaces that move upward from below to feed the small fish f from below to above. 25 is a blower for cooling and draining the boiled small fish f, and 35 is a blower for sorting by wind selection and removing impurities.

FIG. 3 shows a first conveyor 20 and a second conveyor 3.
0 indicates a location where the first conveyor 20 overlaps with the second conveyor 30, that is, a portion where the first conveyor 20 is replaced with the second conveyor 30. A sliding plate 40 is disposed in a space formed between the end of the first conveyor 20 and the start of the second conveyor 30 in the transfer section. The sliding plate 40 is formed by bending a stainless steel plate cut out into a semi-elliptical shape as shown in FIG. 2 in a direction perpendicular to the arc-shaped edge, that is, in a radial direction to form a semi-elliptical conical surface,
The vicinity of the apex is removed to form a truncated conical surface, and the mounting bracket 41 is welded to the surface.

[0008] When the mounting bracket 41 is bolted to the end of the first conveyor 20, the slide plate 40 thus manufactured is fixed to the frame 21 with the truncated portion facing upward. The truncated head is located below the conveyor belt 24 and attached to the center in the width direction. The lower skirt protrudes forward from below the conveyor belt 24 and extends laterally to a slightly inner side of the width of the wide conveyor belt 34.

Thus, when the small fish transported by the first conveyor 20 reaches the end, it falls from the conveyor belt 24 onto the slide plate 40 having a relatively small head. Then, while spreading in the width direction along the slope of the slide plate 40,
It slowly slides down onto the conveyor belt 34 of the second conveyor 30. Therefore, it can be replaced on the second conveyor 30 without giving a large impact to the shirasu fish, which is the dried material, and without damaging the fish.

[0010] Further, when the shirasu fish slides down the slope of the slide plate 40, it spreads in the width direction according to the conical surface.

[0011]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the shirasu fish, which is the material to be boiled and dried, is not damaged when the fish is transferred from the first conveyor to the second conveyor, and the quality of the product is improved. In addition, since no waste is generated, the yield of the material is improved, and the shirasu fish are not scattered to the surroundings, so that the work place is not stained and the working environment is sanitary. According to the invention of claim 2, since the small fish f falls on the conical surface of the second conveyor from the first conveyor and spreads in the width direction according to the conical surface, the small fish f slides down the slide plate, without using any special device. There is an effect that it can be widely and thinly spread and transferred on the second conveyor with a simple structure.
