Description
本発明は学校給食や会社などの食堂或いはセルフサービスで利用客が多い食堂等に於いて、使用されて汚れた合成樹脂製の丼や皿等の食器を積重させてまとめ、それを一つずつ取り剥がして自動食器洗浄機へ搬送するコンベア上に落下させるための洗浄機用食器自動供給装置に関する。 The present invention collects and collects dishes such as bowls and dishes made of synthetic resin that have been used and soiled in a school lunch, a cafeteria such as a company, or a self-service cafeteria. The present invention relates to a dishwasher automatic supply apparatus for washing machine for peeling off each one and dropping it onto a conveyor to be conveyed to an automatic dishwasher.
従来の洗浄用食器自動供給装置は、落下口が開口された機体の上に、一部を切欠いた上下２段の分離用の羽根車を落下口周囲へ４箇所或いは３箇所取付けた構造のものであり、これを用いる場合には、積重した食器を逆さにさせ、それを作業者が羽根車の上から挿入する。挿入後、上の羽根車で２枚目より上の食器を受け止め、下の羽根車に乗っている食器は切欠いた部分から落下口を通過して落ち、搬出用コンベア上に乗せるものであった。そして、上の羽根車に乗っている食器は切欠いた部分に来ると下の羽根車に落ち、２枚目より上の食器は上の羽根車で受け止められる。この動作を繰返して１つずつ食器が取り剥がされ、食器洗浄機へ搬送するための搬出用コンベアに供給していた。また積重した食器が少なくなると、作業者が羽根車の上から食器を挿入し追加していた。しかしながら、前記洗浄用食器自動供給装置は、４本或いは３本の羽根車が全て固定位置で回転されると共に食器の位置決め用ガイド棒も固定されているので、上方からの供給しか行えず、搬入コンベア等が利用されて横方向から食器を供給することは不可能であった。又、上方にはモーターや駆動機構が設置されているため、上方から自動供給させる際、それらの装置が邪魔になって自動化することが出来なかった。尚、横方向からの供給が行えるようにさせる際、落下口があるので、この落下口から落下しないように食器を受け止めて支持させることは困難であった。 A conventional automatic tableware feeder for washing has a structure in which four or three separate impellers for separation of upper and lower stages, notched partly, are mounted on the periphery of the dropping port on the machine body with the opening being opened. If this is used, the stacked tableware is turned upside down and the operator inserts it from the top of the impeller. After the insertion, the upper impeller received the tableware above the second sheet, and the tableware on the lower impeller dropped from the cutout portion through the drop opening and was placed on the carry-out conveyor. . Then, when the tableware on the upper impeller comes to the notched portion, it falls to the lower impeller, and the tableware above the second sheet is received by the upper impeller. Repeating this operation, the tableware was removed one by one and supplied to a carry-out conveyor for transporting to the dishwasher. Also, when the number of stacked dishes decreased, workers inserted and added dishes from the top of the impeller. However, since the cleaning tableware automatic supply device has all four or three impellers rotated in a fixed position and the tableware positioning guide rod is also fixed, it can only be supplied from above, It was impossible to supply tableware from the side using a conveyor or the like. In addition, since a motor and a drive mechanism are installed above, when the automatic supply is performed from above, these devices cannot be automated. In addition, since there is a drop opening when making it possible to supply from the horizontal direction, it was difficult to receive and support the tableware so as not to drop from the drop opening.
このため、本発明者が特願２００１−２１９５８４に於いて、横方向から食器を供給することが可能になる洗浄用食器自動供給装置を提案したところである。この構造は、搬入用コンベアの上面よりも若干低く配置すると共に下方に配置されたカムを介して傾斜可能に一辺側が軸支された受板と、搬出用コンベア側に配置した一対の分離用羽根車と、搬入用コンベア側に配置した位置決め手段と、前記カムと分離用羽根車が駆動されるための駆動手段とから構成したものであった。
しかしながら、特願２００１−２１９５８４は、食器が例えば10枚以上積重されると、食器の重量によって位置決め手段の押え棒を押し広げてしまうため、食器を1つだけに分離して落下する際に、全体が傾いてしまい、分離が出来なくなる事故が生じる恐れがあると共に食器が落下しないと受板が完全に傾斜しない場合もあった。この原因は、位置決め手段の押え棒の開閉強さがレバーに装着したバネの強さによって決定されているが、バネを強くすると、搬入コンベアから運ばれてくる積重された食器がその搬送力によって押え棒が押し開かれるためには、大きな力が必要になり、積重された食器の搬送力だけでは押え棒が開かれてその押え棒を通過させることができなくなってしまう。一方、バネを弱くすると、押え棒の押圧力が弱くなり、積重された食器の外周が押さえ切れなくなって、積重された食器全体が傾斜され、分離時に1つの食器だけに分離できなくなる。このため、バネの強さとしては、適宜量例えば10枚の食器がスムーズに搬入されて分離が行えるようにバネの強さが調整されているのが現状である。更に受板の傾斜はその下面と接触するカムが支えているだけであるため、受板の上面に重量が加わらないと傾斜不良を起こす恐れが生じていた。しかも特願２００１−２１９５８４は、食器の大きさが変わるとその大きさに応じて対応出来ないため、食堂等で利用する食器の大きさが限定されているのが現状である。 However, in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-219584, for example, when 10 or more dishes are stacked, the presser bar of the positioning means is spread by the weight of the tableware. In some cases, the entire body is tilted and there is a possibility that the separation becomes impossible, and the receiving plate may not be completely tilted if the tableware does not fall. The cause of this is that the opening and closing strength of the presser bar of the positioning means is determined by the strength of the spring attached to the lever, but if the spring is strengthened, the stacked tableware carried from the carry-in conveyor will have its carrying force. In order for the presser bar to be pushed open, a large force is required, and the presser bar can be opened and cannot be passed only by the conveying force of the stacked tableware. On the other hand, if the spring is weakened, the pressing force of the presser bar becomes weak, the outer periphery of the stacked tableware cannot be pressed down, the entire stacked tableware is inclined, and cannot be separated into one tableware at the time of separation. Therefore, the current strength of the spring is adjusted so that an appropriate amount, for example, 10 pieces of tableware can be smoothly carried in and separated. Further, since the inclination of the receiving plate is only supported by the cam that contacts the lower surface thereof, there is a possibility that the inclination will be poor unless the weight is applied to the upper surface of the receiving plate. Moreover, since the Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-219584 cannot cope with the size of the tableware, the size of the tableware used in the dining room or the like is limited.

次に本発明の作用を図５に基づいて説明する。予め食器（８）の大きさに合せて受板（２）の大きさをセットしておく。この場合には、先ず食器（８）を分離用羽根車（４）の羽根車軸（42）に当接させる。そして蝶ネジ（53）を回転させ、突起部（３）の位置が、食器（８）の外周と若干隙間が開く位置にセットすれば良い。先ず始めに予め逆さにして大山に積重した図中の２点鎖線の食器（８）を図示しない搬入用コンベアで図中の矢印のように水平方向へ搬送させて、受板（２）の上部位置まで搬入させる。この時、食器（８）の最下段は突起部（３）よりも奥（右側）へ送られると、最下段の食器（８）の鍔が突起部（３）の右側へ入り込むため、以前の位置決め手段の役目も果たすものとなる［図５（ａ）参照］。尚、位置決め手段の役目は突起部（３）以外に、図示しない搬入用コンベアに突片を取付け、食器（８）の外周を押圧する構造としたものを併用すると良い。その後、駆動手段（６）が作動されて、駆動モーター（63）が回転すると、受板用駆動機構（61）と羽根車用駆動機構（62）が同時に作動される。先ず始めに羽根車用駆動機構（62）の作動について説明する。駆動モーター（63）の回転に伴って、図１に示す右側の羽根車軸（42）には駆動用チェーン（624）によって駆動モーター（63）の回転力が伝達される。これと同時に図中の左側の羽根車軸（42）には連結用チェーン（622）によって同様に駆動モーター（63）の回転力が伝達される。すると一対の分離用羽根車（４）が回転し、切欠部が落下口（11）側に来ると最下段の食器（８）は切欠部から落下して水平状態の受板（２）の上面に落ちる［図５（ｂ）参照］。この時の受板（２）は、食器（８）の右側が受板本体（21）で受け、食器（８）の左側が長さ調節板（22）で受けて若干傾いているが、使用には支障はない。尚、前記長さ調節板（22）は、受板本体（21）の下面と支持板（23）の切欠部（23a）に囲まれた空間に挿入されているため、若干右下に傾く（図４参照）。この長さ調節板（22）の傾きを解消するために、滑り板（21a）,(22b)を図１や図２に示すように受板本体（21）と長さ調節板（22）の表面に取付けても良い。又、この時、最下段の食器（８）の鍔とその上の食器（８）の鍔との間には隙間がある。この隙間に分離用羽根車（４）の羽根車（41）が直ぐに入り込んで上の食器（８）は落下することなく保持される［図５（ｃ）参照］。 Next, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The size of the receiving plate (2) is set in advance according to the size of the tableware (8). In this case, the tableware (8) is first brought into contact with the impeller shaft (42) of the separating impeller (4). Then, the thumbscrew (53) is rotated, and the position of the protrusion (3) may be set at a position where a slight gap from the outer periphery of the tableware (8) is opened. First of all, the two-dot chain line tableware (8) in the figure that has been turned upside down and piled up in advance is transported in the horizontal direction as shown by the arrow in the figure by a carrying conveyor (not shown), and the receiving plate (2) Bring it to the upper position. At this time, if the bottom of the tableware (8) is sent to the back (right side) of the projection (3), the bowl of the bottom tableware (8) enters the right side of the projection (3), so the previous level It also serves as a positioning means [see FIG. 5 (a)]. In addition to the protrusion (3), the positioning means may be used in combination with a structure in which a protrusion is attached to a carry-in conveyor (not shown) and the outer periphery of the tableware (8) is pressed. Thereafter, when the drive means (6) is operated and the drive motor (63) rotates, the receiving plate drive mechanism (61) and the impeller drive mechanism (62) are simultaneously operated. First, the operation of the impeller drive mechanism (62) will be described. With the rotation of the drive motor (63), the rotational force of the drive motor (63) is transmitted to the right impeller shaft (42) shown in FIG. 1 by the drive chain (624). At the same time, the rotational force of the drive motor (63) is similarly transmitted to the left impeller shaft (42) in the figure by the connecting chain (622). Then, a pair of separation impellers (4) rotate, and when the cutout comes to the drop opening (11) side, the lowermost tableware (8) falls from the cutout and the upper surface of the horizontal receiving plate (2) [Refer to FIG. 5 (b)]. The receiving plate (2) at this time is slightly tilted with the receiving plate body (21) receiving the right side of the tableware (8) and the left side of the tableware (8) receiving the length adjusting plate (22). There is no hindrance. Since the length adjusting plate (22) is inserted into the space surrounded by the lower surface of the receiving plate body (21) and the notch (23a) of the support plate (23), the length adjusting plate (22) is slightly inclined to the lower right ( (See FIG. 4). In order to eliminate the inclination of the length adjusting plate (22), the sliding plates (21a) and (22b) are attached to the receiving plate body (21) and the length adjusting plate (22) as shown in FIGS. It may be attached to the surface. At this time, there is a gap between the lower tableware (8) and the upper tableware (8). The impeller (41) of the separating impeller (4) immediately enters the gap, and the upper tableware (8) is held without falling [see FIG. 5 (c)].
次に受板用駆動機構（61）の作動について説明する。前記同様に駆動モーター（63）の回転に伴って、図１に示す駆動モーター（63）の回転力がチェーン（618）とスプロケット（617）を介在させて垂直軸（616）に伝達される。すると垂直軸（616）の下端に固着した傘歯車（615）と一対の傘歯車（614）を介して水平軸（613）が回転される。該水平軸（613）によってレバー（612）が回転するので、作動杆（611）は図４に示す点線矢印のように下方に徐々に下がると共に受板（２）は傾斜されて開口部（11）が開口し始めると、食器（８）は滑り落ちる［図５（ｄ）参照］。この時、食器（８）が落下する際に、突起部（３）は長さ調節板（22）と一緒に図４の左側の矢印のように下方へ回るため、この突起部（３）によって最下段の食器（８）が押出されるのである。従って、食器（８）が10枚以上積重された場合に、特願２００１−２１９５８４に於ける積重された食器（８）全体が例え傾斜しても、本発明では、最下段の食器（８）の鍔だけを突起部（３）によって押出すため、スムーズに最下段の食器（８）は確実に落下されて行くのである。この食器（８）の落下時には、傾斜された受板（２）の上を滑り落ちるので、衝撃力が殆ど食器（８）には加わらないのである。その後、滑り落ちる食器（８）は搬出用コンベア（７）の上に乗り、食器洗浄機側へ搬送される。又、前記受板（２）はレバー（612）の回転によって作動杆（611）が持上げられて元の水平位置に戻されるのである［図５（ｅ）参照］。このようにして最下段の食器（８）が受板（２）から滑り落ちた後は、上記同様に羽根車（41）の上の食器（８）が切欠部に来ると受板（２）の上に落ちて、受板（２）から滑り落ち、搬出用コンベア（７）の上に乗せられて食器（８）が１つずつ搬送されるのである。この動作を繰返して食器（８）は自動食器洗浄機側へ順次供給されるのである。積重した食器（８）が全て滑り落ちてなくなった場合には、図示しないセンサーによって食器（８）が受板（２）の上にないことを検知すると、前記搬入用コンベアによって、大山に積重した食器（８）を受板（２）の所定位置まで搬入するのである［図５（ａ）参照］。 Next, the operation of the receiving plate drive mechanism (61) will be described. Similarly to the rotation of the drive motor (63), the rotational force of the drive motor (63) shown in FIG. 1 is transmitted to the vertical shaft (616) through the chain (618) and the sprocket (617). Then, the horizontal shaft (613) is rotated via the bevel gear (615) fixed to the lower end of the vertical shaft (616) and the pair of bevel gears (614). Since the lever (612) is rotated by the horizontal shaft (613), the operating rod (611) gradually lowers downward as indicated by the dotted arrow shown in FIG. 4, and the receiving plate (2) is inclined to open the opening (11 ) Begins to open, the tableware (8) slides down [see FIG. 5 (d)]. At this time, when the tableware (8) falls, the protrusion (3) rotates downward together with the length adjusting plate (22) as indicated by the left arrow in FIG. The bottom tableware (8) is extruded. Therefore, when ten or more dishes (8) are stacked, even if the stacked dishes (8) as a whole in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-219854 are inclined, in the present invention, the bottom tableware ( Since only the ridges of 8) are pushed out by the projections (3), the lowermost tableware (8) is surely dropped smoothly. When the tableware (8) is dropped, it slides down on the inclined receiving plate (2), so that almost no impact force is applied to the tableware (8). Thereafter, the tableware (8) sliding down is placed on the carry-out conveyor (7) and conveyed to the dishwasher side. Further, the receiving plate (2) is returned to its original horizontal position by lifting the operating rod (611) by the rotation of the lever (612) [see FIG. 5 (e)]. After the lowermost tableware (8) slides down from the backing plate (2) in this way, when the tableware (8) on the impeller (41) comes to the notch as described above, the backing plate (2) It slides down from the receiving plate (2), is placed on the carry-out conveyor (7), and the tableware (8) is conveyed one by one. By repeating this operation, the tableware (8) is sequentially supplied to the automatic dishwasher side. When all of the stacked tableware (8) has slid off, if it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the tableware (8) is not on the receiving plate (2), it is loaded on the mountain by the carry-in conveyor. The stacked tableware (8) is carried to a predetermined position of the receiving plate (2) [see FIG. 5 (a)].
次に受板（２）の動作を図４に基づいて詳細に説明する。先ず作動杆（611）が点線矢印のように下げられると、連結杆（24）は軸支部（24b）を中心に回転する。すると受板本体（21）は連結杆（24）の回転によって強制的に下げられ、その受板本体（21）の動きに伴って長さ調節板（22）の右側が押下げられると共に前記長さ調節板（22）は軸受部（22a）を中心に回転するのである。一方、作動杆（611）が上げられると、連結杆（24）は軸支部（24b）を中心にして受板本体（21）を持上げ、その動きに伴って長さ調節板（22）も押上げられ、且つ軸受部（22a）を中心にして長さ調節板（22）が回転されて元の位置に戻されるのである。尚、本発明の前記羽根車（41）の下部が受板（２）上面から浮いて接触していない場合は、食器（８）の鍔の間に入らず上の鍔に当って食器（８）が２枚落下する恐れがあるため、バネ（43）によって下方へ弾性力が常に付勢され、羽根車（41）の下部が受板（２）上面に接触させると共に食器（８）の鍔が入る高さを確保した段部（41a）が設けられているのである。 Next, operation | movement of a receiving plate (2) is demonstrated in detail based on FIG. First, when the operating rod (611) is lowered as indicated by the dotted arrow, the connecting rod (24) rotates around the shaft support (24b). Then, the receiving plate body (21) is forcibly lowered by the rotation of the connecting rod (24), and the right side of the length adjusting plate (22) is pushed down along with the movement of the receiving plate body (21) and the length The height adjusting plate (22) rotates around the bearing portion (22a). On the other hand, when the operating rod (611) is raised, the connecting rod (24) lifts the receiving plate body (21) around the shaft support (24b), and the length adjusting plate (22) is pushed along with the movement. The length adjusting plate (22) is rotated around the bearing portion (22a) and returned to the original position. In addition, when the lower part of the said impeller (41) of this invention floats from the upper surface of a receiving plate (2) and is not contacting, it does not enter between the bowls of tableware (8), but hits the upper tableware (8 ) May fall, the spring (43) always urges the elastic force downward so that the lower part of the impeller (41) contacts the upper surface of the receiving plate (2) and the tableware (8) A stepped portion (41a) that secures the height for the insertion is provided.
