Then, an inspection machine 9 and a product accumulation machine 10 are also provided as a part of the packaging machine 8 on the downstream side in the transport direction of the packaging machine 8.

  In the production of the package 1 containing the tattered kombu sheet in the production apparatus 6, the main part of the production apparatus includes the supply step a for the tattered kelp sheet band as shown in FIG. 3, and the cutting process for cutting the tattered kelp sheet band. b and the packaging process c are combined, and these processes are configured to be continued using various conveying means described later, and the inspection process d using the inspection machine 9 and the product stacking machine 10 are The stacking process e to be used is also continued by using a transport means having a mechanism corresponding to the machine.

(Oboro Kombu Sheet Supply Machine)
In the above-mentioned rag-kombu sheet supply machine 7, a roll 12 that rolls the rag-kombu sheet belt B around a reel 11 is rotated at a rotation speed that always controls the amount of the rag-kombu sheet belt B in the feed-out direction. There is a body support portion 13, and in the roll body support portion 13, the roll body 12 is rotated in the feed direction by a driving rotation that operates so as to always control the feed amount, and a plurality of unwrapped kombu sheet belts B are fed. The belts are provided so that the belts of the strips are wound around and are fed toward the conveying unit 14 that performs the feeding operation in the conveying direction (sheet belt conveying direction). (Process a)

  Here, a buffer section 15 is set between the roll body support section 13 and the transport means 14 that is positioned at the most upstream position when transporting the tangled kelp sheet band B. This buffer unit 15 plays a role of supplying the tangled kelp sheet band B to the conveying means 14 at a constant speed, and the accumulation of small changes in the amount of chopped kelp sheet band B fed from the roll body support unit 13 side. It absorbs and prevents inappropriate slack and tension. For example, as shown in the drawing, a plurality of rollers 15a are arranged on the upper and lower sides, and the rag kombu sheet belt B is zigzag-shaped, and one of the rollers 15a is made movable so that the amount of feeding by the roller 15a is adjusted. The structure is such that a certain tensile force is applied to the rough tangle sheet belt B by moving the position according to the fluctuation. In addition, the buffer part should just be a thing which prevents improper loosening and tension | tensile_strength, and is not limited to the structure of illustration.

  Downstream of the transporting means 14 for receiving and transporting the above-mentioned rag-kombu sheet B supplied at a constant speed from the buffer unit 15, the crushed kelp-sheet band B is cut and processed. There is a feed section 16 composed of a roller that feeds the table 16a for stabilization toward the head. Of course, both the operation on the side of the buffer unit 15 and the feeding operation of the feeding unit 16 are controlled so that the tangled kelp sheet band B does not become in a tension state leading to breakage.

  The tattered kelp sheet band B that is transported and moved on the table via the feed unit 16 is provided on the downstream side in the transport direction of the feed unit 16, and the transverse cutting unit 17 formed of a roll cutter in which a cutting blade is implanted in the feed roll. Reach. While being sent out to the downstream side in the conveying direction by the transverse cutting portion 17, it is cut at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction of the rag kombu sheet band B (cut in the width direction of the rag kombu sheet band). By this transverse cutting, the rag kombu sheet C having a constant dimension in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the rag kombu sheet belt B (that is, the conveying direction in the rag kombu sheet feeding machine) is sequentially cut and formed. (Process b)

  In this example, the rag kombu sheet C itself is twice as large as the rag kombu sheet A in the package 1 containing the rag kombu sheet described above, and is in a processed state in the middle. .

  There is also a conveying means 18 in which a plurality of belts are stretched downstream in the conveying direction at the transverse cutting portion 17, and this conveying means 18 is cut in the transverse cutting portion 17 and sent out sequentially. It operates in a state where the conveyance speed is increased as compared with the conveyance speed on the upstream side in the conveyance direction so that the space between the sheets C is slightly opened.

  The conveying means 18 is provided with receiving means 19 so as to be continuous. The receiving means 19 plays a role of transporting the tangled kelp sheets C cut by the lateral cutting portion 17 in a line at a constant interval on the downstream side in the transport direction. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the receiving means 19 is located above a later-described conveying means 21a on the downstream side in the conveying direction from the receiving means 19, and the loose kombu sheet C is transferred to the conveying means. In the upper position of 21a, the conveying means 21a is supported in a non-contact manner for a fixed time. Of course, since it is sufficient that the tangled kelp sheet C is conveyed at a certain interval on the downstream side, the receiving support time is short, but the receiving means each time the tangled kelp sheet C is received. When the temporary support state by 19 has passed, it is provided so as to supply the loose kombu sheet C to the transport means 21 a by the operation of the receiving means 19.

  FIG. 4 shows a specific configuration example of the receiving means 19 as viewed from the conveying direction side, and receiving pieces 19a are provided so as to receive and support both sides of the rag kombu sheet C sent out from the conveying means 18. Is formed by arranging a pair of rotating bodies 19b having a cross-sectional shape around the support shaft. The rotating body 19b of the receiving means 19 is in a surely stopped state that stops the momentum of conveyance by the conveying means 18 when the tangled kelp sheet C is supplied from the conveying means 18 side to the receiving piece 19a arranged at the receiving position. Receive and support Oboro Kombu Sheet C for a fixed time.

  Thereafter, the rotating body 19b is rotated so that the rag kombu sheet C is placed on the receptacle of the lower conveyance means 21a, whereby the rag kombu sheet C is supplied to the conveyance means 21a. Further, the rotating body 19b rotates at a required angle (90 degrees in the illustrated example), and instead of the receiving piece 19a facing downward, another receiving piece 19a stands by at the receiving position. The next tattered kelp sheet C is fed.

  As described above, since the rough kombu sheet C is supplied to the downstream in the conveying direction via the receiving means 19, even if it is a cut short and very soft loose kombu sheet, this is a constant interval. This is effective for transporting as a line.

(Oboro kelp sheet belt)
The rag kombu sheet band B wound around the reel 11 is manufactured in a band shape in advance. Specifically, a large number of kelp subjected to the required processing are stacked with their leaf surfaces aligned, and compressed using a mold to form a block body. Then, a thin piece of tangle kelp is cut out from the block body along the leaf surface of the compressed kelp. This thin piece of tangle kelp itself has a pattern like a grain of wood by repeating the surface layer and the inner layer of the stacked kelp. Is a very soft food.

  Furthermore, the above-mentioned rag-kombu thin-walled pieces are sequentially joined together while shifting the upper and lower layers in one direction, and are manufactured as a thin cloth-like band body by adding conditions such as heat, pressure and humidification, for example, 200 m It has a length of about.

(Packaging machine)
As shown in FIG. 2, the wrapping machine 8 has the transport means 21a on the upstream side in the transport direction of the wrapping machine 8, and the rag transported to the transport means 21a from the rag-kombu sheet supply machine 7 with an interval. A vertical cutting section 21 is formed, in which the kelp sheet C has been transferred, and the slitter 20 in the middle of being transported by the transport means 21a cuts and separates the central portion of the rag kombu sheet C vertically. As a result of the separation at 21, the tangled kelp sheet A having the above-mentioned shape in two rows is formed and conveyed downstream in the conveying direction. (Process b)

  The longitudinal cutting portion 21 is provided with a packaging portion 22 facing the end of the longitudinal cutting portion 21 on the downstream side in the conveying direction with the film overlapping portion facing. The packaging unit 22 sandwiches the rag kombu sheet A conveyed at an interval between the continuum 23 of the upper wrapping film 2 and the continuum 24 of the lower wrapping film 3 that are fed from the up and down direction with respect to the conveying direction. In this state, the continuum 23 and the continuum 24 are heat-sealed by the sealer 25 so as to surround each rag kombu sheet A, and thereby, one unit formed by enclosing the rag kombu sheet A at the seal portion. A wrapping continuum 26 is formed in two rows. (Process c)

  The wrapping continuum 26 passes through a continuum separating section 27 that is transversely cut at a position between the rag-kombu sheet packages 1 in the conveying process, and one unit of the rag-kombu sheet package 1 is sequentially formed in this portion.

(Inspection machine)
The inspection machine 9 is formed by arranging inspection devices each having a sensor corresponding to a detection target. For example, a device 28 equipped with a sensor for detecting an empty bag, a device 29 equipped with an infrared sensor for inspecting the presence or absence of foreign matter such as a piece of kombu on the rag kombu sheet A, a metal object adhered to the rag kombu sheet A and the bag 5 A device 30 provided with a metal detection sensor for detecting the presence or absence is arranged, and a conveying path for the rag kombu sheet package 1 is formed so as to pass through these devices. Note that the tattered kombu sheet package 1 that has been determined to be defective by these devices is automatically excluded before moving to the product accumulation machine 10. (Process d)

(Product accumulation machine)
The rag kombu sheet packaging body 1 that has not been determined to be defective by the inspection machine 9 is conveyed to a product accumulation machine 10 that is downstream of the inspection machine 9 in the conveyance direction. Are arranged for each constant quantity. Oboro Kombu Sheet Wrapped together for each fixed quantity will be boxed by hand. (Process e)
