Description

  The present invention relates to a sliced bread dividing and carrying out apparatus for dividing and carrying out sliced bread at a high speed every predetermined number.

  Bread that is baked as 2 or 3 lobes is usually sliced, divided into a predetermined number of pieces, and packaged into a product.

  Various techniques for dividing slice bread into predetermined number of sheets have been developed. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-219316 (Patent Document 1) discloses a horizontally extending conveyor that conveys slice bread that is sliced and arranged side by side. And forming a sloped portion downward at the front end portion of the conveyor, and the leading portion of the sliced bread that has been conveyed by the conveyor enters the sloped portion, so that a wedge shape is formed between the sliced bread and the subsequent sliced bread. An apparatus is disclosed in which a gap is formed and divided.

  Since the gap is formed as described above, this apparatus can smoothly discharge without causing friction between slice surfaces between the sliced slice bread at the top of the divided slice slice bread and the sliced bread left on the conveyor. Is possible.

However, in this apparatus, when the slice bread moves from the horizontal portion of the conveyor to the inclined portion, each slice bread is separated from the slice bread before and behind the slice bread and stands alone. For this reason, in particular, it is difficult for soft sliced bread to maintain a standing state on the conveyor, and there is a risk of causing hip breakage or the like. In addition, there is a problem that the conveying speed cannot be increased too much so that the sliced bread that has been conveyed by the horizontal conveyor smoothly enters the inclined portion.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a slice bread dividing and carrying out apparatus that eliminates such a point.

That is, the present invention has a conveyance surface (indicated by reference numeral 12 in the embodiment of the present invention described below) that extends linearly in the conveyance direction, and sliced bread is upright with respect to the conveyance surface. A conveying means for performing intermittent conveying action of forward and stop by placing in the conveying direction so that the slice surfaces are in contact with each other in the state and being placed on the conveying surface;
A rotation center axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction, which is a carry-out means for picking up and carrying out a predetermined number of sheets on the front end portion (25) of the conveyance surface (12) of the stopped slice bread (26) having a rotary carry-out member (16), and the rotary carry-out member passes through the front end portion of the transport surface upward along with the rotation of the rotary carry-out member, and the predetermined on the front end portion. A carry-out means having a carry-out surface (28) for carrying a plurality of sliced breads and carrying it upward;
It is set along the carry-out path adjacent to the carry-out path on the radially outer side of the arc-shaped carry-out path of the slice bread that is picked up and carried out by the carry-out surface, and is scooped up by the carry-out surface and When the sliced bread that is advanced along the carry-out path falls down radially outward of the carry-out path on the carry-out surface, the sliced bread is prevented from contacting and falling down radially outwardly, and the carry-out path Guiding means to be guided along,
A slice bread dividing and carrying out apparatus characterized by comprising:

  That is, in this apparatus, the sliced bread that is divided and carried out is conveyed on the linear conveying surface (12), and the sliced bread that is divided and carried out is changed in the conveying direction and sent to the inclined portion. Compared to the conventional apparatus as described above, the conveyance speed can be significantly increased. In an actual prototype, it was possible to carry out divided transportation 60 to 70 times per minute.

In particular,
The guide means has a guide roller that is rotatable about a central axis that is parallel to the rotational central axis of the rotary carry-out member. Preferably, the plurality of guide rollers are arranged adjacent to each other along the carry-out path.

  By making the guide means a rotatable guide roller, it is possible to reduce friction between the guide means and the sliced bread that contacts the guide means, and the guide function can be performed smoothly.

More specifically,
The guide roller is driven to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary carry-out member around the central axis by the driving means.

Also,
In this case, it is preferable that the peripheral surface speed of the guide roller is equal to or higher than the carry-out speed of the slice bread on the contact surface of the slice bread when contacting the guide roller.

In this case,
The guide roller is preferably polygonal, specifically hexagonal, in a cross section perpendicular to the central axis.

  By doing in this way, the slice bread which tried to fall to the radial direction outer side on a carrying-out surface is returned to the suitable position on a carrying-out surface so that it may be beaten by the outer peripheral surface of a guide roller.

  In the slice bread dividing and carrying out apparatus according to the present invention, the slice bread for each predetermined number of the front end portion of the slice bread that has been conveyed linearly is successively carried out by the rotary carry-out member, and the slice bread that has been carried out Is properly guided by the guide means, and the sliced bread can be divided and discharged smoothly and at high speed.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a sliced bread dividing and carrying out apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2 show a slice bread dividing and carrying out apparatus 10 according to the present invention.

  The sliced bread dividing and conveying apparatus 10 includes a conveying plate 14 having a horizontal conveying surface 12 for conveying the sliced bread S, and a rotary carry-out member 16 for carrying out a predetermined number of sliced breads from the conveying plate. is doing.

  The transport plate 14 includes a main plate 18 and a front end plate 20 attached in parallel to the front end of the main plate at a lower position with a step with respect to the main plate. Is configured. As shown in FIG. 1, the front end plate 20 has a wide portion 22 at the center in the width direction, and both side portions 24 provided on both sides of the wide portion via gaps 23 and 23.

  The rotary carry-out member 16 is on a virtual extension surface 27 extending in the transport direction from the upper surface (front end portion of the transport surface 12) 25 of the front end plate 20, or at a position below the virtual extension surface 27 (as shown). It is rotated in the clockwise direction (as viewed in the figure) around a rotation center axis 26 that is parallel to the virtual extension surface and extends in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction.

  The rotary carry-out member 16 has a plurality of carry-out surfaces 28 provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary carry-out member 16 is composed of two plate-like members 30, 30 that are spaced apart in the direction of the rotation center axis 26. The outer peripheral edge passes through the gaps 23, 23 of the front end plate 20, and the carry-out surface 28 is placed on the front end plate 14 by passing through the gaps 23, 23 from the bottom to the top. Sliced bread is crammed up.

  The carry-out surface 28 extends along a virtual extension 27 surface extending forward from the upper surface (front end portion of the transport surface 12) 25 of the front end plate when the slice bread on the front end plate 20 is scooped up, or the virtual extension surface It inclines with respect to 27, and leaves | separates from this virtual extension surface 27 as it goes to the radial direction inner side of the said rotation carrying-out member. If the carry-out surface 28 is inclined in the opposite direction, the sliced bread that is scooped up tends to fall to the main plate 18 side, and friction occurs between the sliced bread left on the main plate. This is to prevent the slice bread from being hindered from being smoothly rescued (unloaded).

  The rotary carry-out member 16 includes a pan support member 32 that can be displaced along each carry-out surface 28. The rotary carry-out member 16 is rotated intermittently around the rotation center axis 26, and at each stop, one carry-out surface 28 extends along the upper surface 25 of the front end plate. The bread support member 32 extends or is brought into a state adjacent to the upper surface under the upper surface 25 (as shown in the figure), and the bread support member 32 is pushed by the predetermined number of sliced breads pushed onto the front end plate 20 ( In the example shown in the figure, only two sheets) are separated from the front end edge 31 of the main plate 18. In the illustrated example, two pan support members 32 are set on the outside of the plate-like member 30 of the rotary carry-out member 16, and a pair of pins 34, 34 are provided, respectively. Guided by a pair of slots 36, 36, can be displaced along the carry-out surface 28, and is urged inward in the radial direction of the rotary carry-out member by a spring (not shown). Cam members 38, 38 are set on the outer side of the plate-like member 30 of the rotary carry-out member, and the cam members are stopped when the pan support members are stopped at positions adjacent to the front end plate 20. The support member is pushed radially outward against the spring so as to be positioned away from the front edge 31 of the main plate by a predetermined number of slice breads pushed onto the front plate, and the carry-out surface 28 is sliced It has a cam contour curve 41 that allows the bread support member 32 to be pulled inward in the radial direction by the spring as the bread is raised and displaced upward. The cam member can be displaced in the left-right direction as seen in FIG. 2, and the position of the cam member can be adjusted according to the number of slice breads to be divided and carried out in the apparatus. In the figure, reference numeral 43 denotes a roller rotatably attached to the pan support member 32 and engaged with the cam member.

  In the illustrated example, the bread presser member 42 is set to be displaceable in the vertical direction at a position above the front end of the main plate 18, and at the moment when the sliced bread is moved and stopped on the transport surface 12, the position shown in FIG. The leading portion of the sliced bread on the main plate 18 is pressed.

  A series of guide rollers 44 arranged in an arc shape is provided at a position adjacent to the bread presser member 42, and the sliced bread that is loaded on the carry-out surface 28 and is carried out in the radial direction on the carry-out surface 28. I try not to fall outside. Preferably, the guide roller positively returns the sliced bread that is about to fall radially outward on the carry-out surface 28 instead of simply suppressing it. Specifically, the guide rollers 44 are arranged on the outer side in the radial direction along the arc-shaped unloading path of the slice bread that is loaded and unloaded on the unloading surface 28. Is set so as to be parallel to each other, and rotates in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary carry-out member. Each guide roller has a polygonal cross section (in the illustrated example, a hexagon). Furthermore, the peripheral surface speed of each guide roller 44 is made faster than the traveling speed of the slice bread that contacts the guide roller. That is, by doing so, the rotating guide roller has a polygonal outer peripheral surface with respect to the sliced bread that tries to fall radially outward on the carry-out surface 28 and comes into contact with the guide roller. Then, the slice bread is operated so as to beat the slice bread, thereby returning the slice bread to a predetermined position on the carry-out surface 28.

  The slice bread that has been carried out by the rotary carry-out member 16 and rotated approximately 90 degrees is placed in a horizontally stacked state so that it is received by the carry-out belt conveyor 46 and carried out toward a packaging machine (not shown). It has become.

  The operation of dividing and carrying out slice bread in this apparatus is as follows. First, the rotary carry-out member 16 is stopped in a state where one carry-out surface 28 is at the position shown in FIG. Next, the sliced bread S is pushed forward on the conveying surface 12 by a pusher (not shown) so that the top two sheets pass over the front end edge 31 of the main plate and fall on the front end plate 20 to be placed. Stopped. In this state, the bread presser member 42 that has been separated from the sliced bread until then engages and holds the top of the sliced bread at the front end of the main plate. Next, when the rotary carry-out member 16 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the slice bread on the front end plate is scooped up by the carry-out surface 28, and the next carry-out surface 28 is rotated until it reaches the position of FIG. Then, the same operation as described above is repeated. The slice bread that has been scooped up from the front end plate 20 is transferred onto the carry-out belt conveyor 46 and carried out toward the packaging machine when the second intermittent rotation of the rotary carry-out member is performed.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which the sliced bread is scooped up when the rotation center axis 26 is on a virtual surface 27 extending from the upper surface of the front end plate 20 in this apparatus, and is pushed onto the front end plate 20. The trajectory when the sliced bread is picked up by the carry-out surface 28 is shown. As shown in the drawing, the second slice S2 of the sliced bread placed on the front end plate 20 and the first slice S1 of the sliced bread left on the main plate 18 are in a state in which their slice surfaces are in contact with each other. However, from the moment when the sliced bread on the front end plate 20 is scooped up by the carry-out surface 28, the sliced bread is away from the sliced bread left on the main plate 18 along an arc tangent to the slice surface. Therefore, there is no substantial friction between the remaining slice bread and the unloaded slice bread.

  This is a case where no step is provided between the main plate 18 and the front end plate 20, as shown in FIG. 4, and the rotation center axis 26 extends from the upper surface (conveying surface 12) of the main plate 18. However, in the case of FIG. 3, the sliced bread on the front end plate 20 is preliminarily dropped from the sliced bread on the main plate 18 due to a step, and further, Since the sliced bread to be scooped moves in an arc so as to move away earlier from the slice surface of the front surface of the sliced bread left on the main plate, the above-mentioned friction problem can be avoided more reliably.

  However, in particular, when the sliced bread to be carried out in a divided manner is, for example, raisin bread and has an adhesiveness to the sliced surface of the sliced bread, the sliced bread that is to be scooped up is the same as the sliced bread left on the main plate. Due to the adhesion, there is a case where it falls down on the carry-out surface 28 that moves upward. In the apparatus according to the present invention, since there is the guide roller 44 as described above, the sliced bread thus formed approaches the guide roller, and thus the outer peripheral surface forming the hexagonal shape of the rotating guide roller 44. To be returned to an appropriate position on the carry-out surface 28.

  FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the sliced bread dividing and carrying out apparatus according to the present invention.

  The basic configuration of this apparatus is the same as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but the pan support member 32 is movable along the carry-out surface 28 by its own weight. That is, the pan support member 32 can be displaced as the rotary carry-out member 16 rotates about the rotation center axis 26, and when the carry-out surface 28 comes to a position vertically below the rotation center axis 26. The pan support member 32 is located at the outermost position in the radial direction of the rotary carry-out member 16, and when the rotary carry-out member 16 is rotated and the carry-out surface 28 is stopped at a position adjacent to the front end plate 20. , To be maintained at the same position in the radial direction. In this state, when the slice bread on the transport plate 14 is pushed by the pusher and the leading slice bread is pushed onto the front end plate 20, the front end surface of the slice bread is engaged with the bread support member. And pushed inward in the radial direction.

  Unlike the embodiment described above, the pan support member 32 is engaged with the pan support member over its entire circumference when rotated with the rotating member to cause the radial movement thereof. It is also possible to use a cam member that defines In this case, the contour curve of the cam member can be appropriately changed according to the number of slice breads to be received.

  In this apparatus, the sliced bread that is pushed out onto the front end plate 20 is moved in a state of being sandwiched between the bread support member 32 and the sliced bread on the main plate 18 in this way, so there is no possibility of breaking the waist. Stable operation is possible.

  FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the sliced bread dividing and carrying out apparatus according to the present invention.

  That is, although the configuration and operation are similar to those of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an auxiliary plate 48 corresponding to the front end plate 20 is attached to the lower surface of the front end portion of the main plate 18 so as to be displaceable in the transport direction. ing. The auxiliary plate 48 can be displaced between a forward position indicated by a solid line and a retracted position indicated by a broken line. In the forward position, the slice food bread to be separately carried is placed, and in the backward position, the slice food bread is placed. Is dropped on the carry-out surface 28 (of the rotary carry-out member 16) stopped at the lower position.

  FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment of the sliced bread dividing and carrying out apparatus according to the present invention.

  That is, the slice bread dividing and carrying out apparatus has the main plate 18 and the auxiliary plate 48 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, and after the slice bread is pushed onto the auxiliary plate 48, the auxiliary plate 48 is pulled backward, and the sliced bread placed thereon is dropped onto the carry-out means, and the carry-out means includes the rotary carry-out member 16 constituted by the plate-like member 30 in FIG. The difference is that an endless chain is used.

  That is, the carry-out means 50 has a large number of L-shaped pan carry-out members 52, and the carry-out member 52 has a carry-out surface 53 corresponding to the carry-out surface 28 in the embodiment of FIG. When the slice bread is in a position to receive the slice bread from the auxiliary plate 48, the slice bread is then rotated 90 degrees to convey the slice bread in a state of being stacked up and down and transferred to the next carry-out conveyor 46. . In order to cause the pan carrying-out member 52 to move in this manner, two pairs of endless chains 54 and 56 are attached. Each pair of endless chains 54 and 56 is composed of an endless chain (only one is shown in FIG. 7) spaced in parallel in the horizontal direction, and the endless chain 54 is a bread unloading member 52. The end portion 58 is pivotally attached, and the endless chain 56 is pivotally attached to the intermediate portion 60. The endless chain 54 is hung on the sprockets 61 and 63, and the endless chain 56 is hung on the sprockets 62, 64, 66 and 68. The sprocket 60 and the sprocket 62 are aligned in the vertical direction, and the end portion 58 and the intermediate portion 60 of the unloading member 52 are rotated by a predetermined angle exceeding 90 ° through the lowest points of the sprockets 60 and 62, respectively. When moving, the end portions 58 move to the right of the intermediate portion 60 (as viewed in the figure) when the carry-out surface 53 moves while maintaining the level and rotates beyond the predetermined angle. Accordingly, the bread unloading member 52 is tilted, and the unloading surface 53 is rotated from the horizontal position to the vertical position. At this time, the carry-out surface 53 moves around the sprocket 62 and moves away from the main plate 18 while maintaining the horizontal position for a predetermined angle from the horizontal position where the slice bread is received.

  When one bread unloading member 52 comes to a position just below the auxiliary plate that supports the sliced bread that has been pushed out of the main plate 18, the auxiliary plate 48 is retracted as shown and above it. The existing sliced bread is dropped onto the bread carrying-out member 52. As described above, the bread carrying-out member 52 is moved upward and away from the main plate 18 while maintaining the posture in which the carrying-out surface 53 is leveled.

  A member 70 corresponding to the bread support member 32 in the embodiment of FIG. 6 is pivotally attached to each bread carry-out member 52. The member 70 is moved by a semi-circular cam member 72 fixed substantially concentrically with the sprocket 62, and the bread unloading member 52 is in a position to receive the sliced bread from the auxiliary plate 48. In some cases, the bread unloading member 52 is positioned away from the front edge of the main plate 18 to receive a predetermined number (three in the illustrated example) of sliced bread on the bread unloading member 52. While supporting the front end surface of the sliced bread to be moved upward, the slice unloading member 52 moves away from the front end surface of the sliced bread as the bread unloading member 52 is moved upward from the position. It is allowed to be placed horizontally.

  The bread unloading member 52 of the unloading means 50 moves the sliced bread to the next unloading conveyor 46 when moved around the sprocket 66 from above to below, and the bread unloading member 52 at this time Since the speed in the direction in which the carry-out conveyor 46 conveys the bread (right side in the figure) is reduced, the transfer of the slice bread can be performed without increasing the carry-out speed of the carry-out conveyor 46 so much. Work can be performed smoothly.

  FIG. 8 shows a sliced bread dividing and carrying out apparatus having substantially the same configuration as that of FIG. 7, and the same constituent elements as those of FIG. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  The bread support member 70 is different from that shown in FIG. That is, in this apparatus, the endless chains 54 and 56 are moved intermittently, and the L-shaped pan carrying-out member 52 is sequentially stopped at the front end position of the carrying plate 18, and the carrying-out member 52 is moved. The carry-out surface 53 of the auxiliary plate 48 is set at substantially the same level as the surface of the auxiliary plate 48. At this time, the bread support member 70 of the carry-out member 52 is separated from the front edge of the transport plate 18 by approximately one slice bread. When the slice bread is pushed out of the transport plate 18, the slice bread It is pushed back by so as to be retreated. That is, in this apparatus, similarly to the apparatus shown in FIG. 5, the sliced bread that is pushed out from the transport plate 18 is sandwiched between the bread support member 70 and the sliced bread on the transport plate 18. It is adapted to be received on the auxiliary plate 48. In order for the pan support member 70 to perform such an operation, the pan support member 70 is slidable along the carry-out surface 53 of the carry-out member 52. Then, when the unloading member 70 receives the sliced bread from the transport plate 18 and moves to the right end as viewed in the figure by the endless chain, when the sliced bread moves to the unloading conveyor 46 and then moves downward, the bread support The member 70 is slidably engaged with the cam surface 72 of the cam member disposed in the movement path of the unloading member 70 and pushed out to the front of the unloading surface 53 of the unloading member 70. And the bread | pan support member 70 is conveyed to the front-end position of a conveyance plate as mentioned above, maintaining the state. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 74 indicates a guide member having a guide slot 76 for guiding a pair of pins provided on the pan support member 70.

  As mentioned above, although it described about embodiment of the slice bread-bread division | segmentation carrying-out apparatus which concerns on this invention, the apparatus which concerns on this invention is not limited to these forms. For example, in the embodiment described above, the sliced bread to be divided and carried out is once received by the front end plate 20 or the auxiliary plate 48 and then carried on the carrying-out surface of the rotary carrying-out member. Since the rotary carry-out member is rotated intermittently as described above, the sliced bread pushed out from the main plate 18 can be received directly on the carry-out surface without providing the front end plate. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bread support member is separated from the front edge of the main plate by the number of sliced breads to be pushed onto the front end plate. A large space may be provided to create a gap between the sliced bread left on the main plate and the sliced bread extruded on the front end plate. Furthermore, in the illustrated example, the surface of the bread support member that contacts the sliced bread is perpendicular to the conveying surface, but the sliced bread that has been pushed onto the front end plate is assumed to be inclined to some extent. By allowing the sliced bread to fall on the inclined surface, a space can be provided between the sliced bread and the sliced bread left on the main plate. In the illustrated embodiment, when the slice bread that has been scooped up by the carry-out surface of the rotary carry-out member and advanced along the arc-shaped carry-out path is about to fall down radially outward of the carry-out path, this is prevented and the carry-out path is prevented. As a means for returning to the above, the one using a plurality of guide rollers is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a guide plate provided in an arc shape along the carry-out path may be used.
