Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for taking out shells from a continuous culture trough containing shells. More specifically, the present invention relates to an oscillating device and an oscillating method for oscillating shells by applying vibration to a continuous culture culvert. Furthermore, the shaking device and the shaking method according to the present invention can generally be used for taking out contents from a container.

  The continuous cultivating rods generally used in the cultivation of shellfish such as scallops are arranged in a height direction by a partition net stretched on a support frame formed of a coated steel wire in a circular or polygonal shape. The ridges are divided into 10 to 20 steps at intervals of about 20 cm. The continuous culture culm is typically a substantially cylindrical shape or a substantially polygonal column shape having a height of 2 to 4 m and a diameter of 45 to 50 cm, and can be folded like a bellows. In particular, the continuous cylindrical trough having a substantially cylindrical shape is also commonly called a round basket.

  In the round basket, a mouth portion for taking in and out the shell is provided in a straight line through each step on the side surface, and is sewn together with a thread so that the shell does not come out while being suspended in the sea. About one or two yarns are used depending on the number of stages of the round basket, and about 10 stages are passed through one thread and are closed by sewing. One end of the thread is tied to a round basket and the other end is left after sewing the mesh doorway. When putting small shellfish before growth into a round basket, loosen the thread and open the openings one by one, but when taking out the grown shellfish, pull out the thread and open the mouth fully. The weight of the whole round cage at the time of shipment of the shell becomes 40-50 kg due to adhesion of seaweed and mud in addition to the shell.

  When taking out the grown shells from the round basket, 3 to 4 people with the round baskets facing down and the round baskets on a transport container such as SUNTENER (registered trademark) or on an existing conveyor Shake up and down to shake the shells inside. Previously, SUNTENAR was arranged for the length of the round basket, and the round basket was placed on it and rocked up and down to drop the shell into the SUNTENER, and when the SUNTENER was full, it was replaced with the next SUNTENER. . This is because it was convenient because the shipment was carried out with a sun tenor. However, recently, the work flow has been such as sorting and washing so that small-sized scallops, mussels such as mussels, and a portion of seaweed are not mixed. The round basket is swung on the conveyor to drop the shells onto the conveyor, and the shells are transported to the sorting machine for sorting and washing.

  As a mechanical device for taking out a shell from a continuous culture culm, a shellfish separation device disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Utility Model Registration No. 3103202) is known. This is a device that takes in a round basket from one end of the machine, separates and falls shellfish while passing through a vibration unit, and discharges the round basket from the opposite side.

Utility Model Registration No. 3103202

  As described above, when taking out the grown shellfish from the round basket, 3 to 4 people turn the round basket's mouth down and rock the round basket up and down on the lined santenna or on an existing conveyor. The shells inside are shaken off, which is a hard work.

  Therefore, the shellfish separation apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 has appeared, but this has several problems. First, if the scallops are stuck to the cage by the foot thread produced by the mussels that grow and adhere to the round cage during aquaculture, it can be removed from the exit of the round cage. In many cases, it is necessary to insert a hand and pull out the shell, and in order to do this, it is necessary to look for the shell with the exit facing upward with the round basket stretched out. However, this shellfish separation apparatus has a problem that this operation becomes difficult. Specifically, in order to make the exit face downward when the round basket is put into the machine, the above-mentioned operation is performed after the round basket is completely discharged from the machine, and the round basket is stretched upside down and turned upside down. Must be done from. For this reason, it is necessary to have about three workers, which is twice labor-intensive and never labor-saving, and even manual work without using machines is even more efficient. When manually removing shells from the round basket, the round basket exits downward and vibrates with the whole stretched, causing the shells to fall. The cage can be rotated halfway and the shell can be taken out with the exit facing upward, and the work can be done quickly in about half the time when using a machine.

  Secondly, the shellfish separation apparatus of Patent Document 1 requires a work space of about 3 m on the machine entrance side, a total length of 1.5 m, 3 m on the exit side, and a total of 7 to 8 m. It only takes ~ 4m. It is difficult to install machines in a small work place.

  Third, seafood shipments must be finished early in the morning to maintain freshness, and scallops are no exception. The work boats went offshore at around 3 am, loaded with shells that were landed, returned to the port at around 5 am, and all employees squeezed shells from the basket and washed them together at around 8 am. Finishes loading on the truck. Therefore, the time required for one round basket is only 15 to 20 seconds. At present, the machine is inferior at that early speed.

  However, in manual work, it is considerable hard work for 3 to 4 people to shake a basket of 50 kg for 3 hours, and a better machine is required with the aging of employees.

  Therefore, the inventor of the present application has invented an efficient and compact swinging device that reduces labor of the worker and a swinging method using the same.

  In a first aspect, the present invention provides a shaker device for shaking a content by applying vibration to a container. The shaking device includes a vibrating body for placing and supporting the container and applying vibration, a prime mover that generates power for vibrating the vibrating body, and a power transmission member that transmits power generated from the prime mover to the vibrating body. Prepare. The shaking device is configured to shake the contents from the container by applying vibration to the container placed on the vibrating body. If the power generated from the prime mover is separately transmitted to multiple locations of the vibrating body via the power transmission mechanism, does the entire vibrating body vibrate with oscillation instead of only translational vibration? Or multiple parts vibrate separately.

  In one embodiment, the vibrating body further includes a pair of support members that are rod-shaped or pipe-shaped and arranged in parallel to each other, and a connecting member that connects the pair of support members to each other, and the power generated from the prime mover is It can comprise so that it may transmit separately to each of a pair of supporting member.

  In one embodiment, the power generated from the prime mover is a rotational force, and the power transmission member includes a crank mechanism that converts the rotational motion into a reciprocating motion, whereby the rotational force generated from the prime mover is used as a vibration force to the vibrating body. Can be configured to communicate.

  In one embodiment, the power transmission mechanism can be configured to include a first transmission member, a second transmission member, and a third transmission member. In this case, the first transmission member receives power generated from the prime mover at the first connecting portion, and vibrates about the shaft as a fulcrum. The second transmission member is coupled to the first transmission member at the second coupling portion, and is coupled to the vibrating body at the third coupling portion, and transmits the vibration of the first transmission member to the vibrating body. The third transmission member is coupled to the first transmission member at a fourth coupling portion located on the opposite side of the second coupling portion with respect to the shaft, and further coupled to the vibrating body at the fifth coupling portion. The vibration of the first transmission member is transmitted to the vibrating body.

  In one embodiment, the power transmission member is preferably configured to transmit a tensile force without transmitting a pressing force among the power generated from the prime mover. This configuration can be achieved, for example, by using chains, ropes or wires for all or part of the power transmission path.

  In one embodiment, the vibrating body can be configured to be supported by a spring so as to vibrate.

  In the second aspect, the present invention provides a conveyor with an oscillating device provided with the oscillating device of the first aspect and a conveyor. The shaking device is installed above the conveyor conveyance path, and is configured such that the content shaken out by the shaking device falls onto the conveyor conveyance path and is directly conveyed by the conveyor.

  In one embodiment, the conveyor has a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, and can be configured such that one belt travels through the horizontal portion and the inclined portion. In this case, the vibrating body is installed along the horizontal portion above the horizontal portion. The conveyor with a swinging device is positioned higher than the conveying path of the horizontal part by transferring the contents swung on the conveying path of the horizontal part to the inclined part by the belt and further conveyed on the conveying path of the inclined part. It can comprise so that it may be conveyed.

  In a third aspect, the present invention provides a method of shaking out contents from a container using a shaking device. The method includes a step of placing the container on the vibration body, a step of vibrating the vibration body by operating a prime mover, and thereby shaking the contents placed on the vibration body to shake out contents. including.

  In one embodiment, a transporting basket such as SUNTENER (registered trademark) may be prepared under the swinging device, and the shaken contents may be received by the transporting container.

  In one embodiment, the container is a substantially cylindrical continuous culture trough, and the contents are shells such as scallops.

  The present invention, in the fourth aspect, includes a step of shaking out the contents from the container by the method of the third aspect, and a step of receiving and transporting the contents that have been shaken and dropped in the transport path of the conveyor. Provide a method.

  In one embodiment, the conveyor can be a belt conveyor that has a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, and is configured such that one belt travels through the horizontal portion and the inclined portion. It can be installed along the horizontal part above the horizontal part. The step of shaking out can be a step of shaking out the contents onto the conveyance path of the horizontal part. The transporting step includes a step of transporting the shaken contents by a belt to the inclined portion on the transport path of the horizontal portion, and a step of transporting the transported portion of the inclined portion on the transport path of the inclined portion. It can be set as the process conveyed to a higher position.

  In the operation of taking out the shell from the round basket, conventionally, the method of dropping the shell by holding the round basket on an existing conveyor and shaking it up and down by hand is the mainstream, but if the apparatus and method according to the present invention are used, Since the round basket is vibrated by the mechanical device, the worker is freed from heavy labor and the fatigue of the arm is reduced. Moreover, since the apparatus of the present invention is small with a very simple mechanism, it can be installed if there is a conventional work space.

  If the apparatus of this invention is used, a heavy round basket which will be 40-50 kg can be vibrated instantly, and a scallop shell etc. can be shaken off from a mouth part. By supporting the vibrating body on which the entire basket is placed with a spring, tilting occurs even with a slight force. However, if the force is removed quickly, it will return to its original state due to the repulsive force of the spring. If the force is applied to the opposite side without being transparent, the action is amplified and tilted greatly. A heavy basket shakes greatly by this repetition. Furthermore, a member that transmits power is not a fixed-length rod, but a bendable / extendable chain, rope, wire, or the like, which generates a large impact vibration. When these are aligned, an action such as shaking and hitting a heavy object with a slight driving force occurs. The force concentrates on the round basket, and scallops are shaken off.

  By the way, in the shellfish separation device of Patent Document 1, the cage feeding device fixes the round cage and vibrates together with this device. For this reason, there is no degree of freedom of the round cage, and it is a monotonous reciprocating vibration, and the scallops stuck with the foot threads are poorly separated. In addition, the round basket feeder is complicated and heavy, and the prime mover that vibrates this heavy machine is large, and vibration and noise are generated in the entire machine. On the other hand, when taking out a shell from a round basket using the apparatus of the present invention, the round basket is only placed on the vibrating body and is not fixed to the apparatus. Furthermore, the vibrating body is supported by a spring and is not fixed to a fixed object. Since a structure that can bend and stretch such as a chain, a rope, or a wire is used for a member that transmits power for raising and lowering the vibrating body, the vibrating body is not restricted by the movement of the power source. By these combinations, a strong vibration accompanied by a striking force is generated in the round basket, and all the shells in the round basket are shaken off in a short time. This is an effect not found in the shellfish separation device of Patent Document 1.

  The conveyor with a shaker according to one aspect of the present invention can be used as a conveyor without hindering the original function of the conveyor. Therefore, compared with the shellfish separation device of Patent Document 1, the conveyor with a shaker device of the present invention can be used without changing the conventional manual operation flow and without reducing the operation speed. In addition, since the entire round basket can be set in the apparatus and can be vibrated at once, the shell can be taken out, so the working time is greatly reduced. Furthermore, since the shellfish remaining in the round basket can be cleaned at the standing position, there is no wasteful operation.

It is a whole view of the shake-out device concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows the detail of the power transmission mechanism with which the shaker of FIG. 1 is provided. It is a figure which shows typically a mode that a vibration is given to a round cage in the case of taking out a shell from a round cage using the shaker of FIG. It is a figure which shows the use condition of a shakeout apparatus in the case of taking out a shell from a round basket using the shakeout apparatus of FIG. It is a general view of the conveyor with a shaking-out apparatus which concerns on another one Embodiment of this invention. It is a figure which shows the use condition of the conveyor with an oscillating device in the case of extracting and conveying a shell from a round basket using the conveyor with an oscillating device of FIG.

  The shaker device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a shaker device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shaking device 1 includes a vibrating body 11, a prime mover 12, and a power transmission mechanism 13. FIG. 2 is a view of the vibrating body 11 and the power transmission mechanism 13 included in the shaking device 1 as viewed from the left side of FIG. In FIG. 1, the springs 14 c and 14 d are shown on the left side of the second transmission member 132 and the third transmission member 133. However, in FIG. 2, the structure of the power transmission mechanism 13 is shown in an easy-to-understand manner. The springs 14 c and 14 d are shown to overlap the back side of the second transmission member 132 and the third transmission member 133.

  The vibrating body 11 includes a pair of support members 111 (111a, 111b) and a connection member 112 (112a, 112b, 112c), and both ends of a pair of pipe-shaped support members 111a, 111b arranged in parallel to each other. The central portion and the central portion are connected by a connecting member 112 to be integrated. The pair of support members 111 is a member for swinging up the container C placed thereon so as to jump up and down and swinging out the contents S from the container C, and the length thereof is assumed for the container C. The interval is adjusted so that it does not roll off even if the container C is vibrated. In the present embodiment, the pair of support members 111 are connected to each other by a connecting member 112. However, as another embodiment, each of the support members may be made independent. In still another embodiment, the vibrating body may include one or a plurality of sets of support members such as four pipes arranged in parallel, or the entire vibrating body is, for example, a curved plate that is hollowed out. It may be integrally formed such as a shape.

  A spring 14 (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) is attached to the lower part of the vibrating body 11. Specifically, the springs 14a and 14b are attached to lower portions of the connecting members 112a and 112b, respectively, and the springs 14c and 14d are lower portions in the center in the longitudinal direction of the supporting members 111a and 111b, that is, third and fifth connecting portions to be described later. It is attached near each part. Thus, the vibrating body 11 is supported so that at least each of the pair of support members can vibrate in the vertical direction. The lower end of each spring 14 is attached to a fixed object such as a frame having a certain height as exemplified by a broken line in FIG. It can be installed at a height. In addition, in the conveyor 2 with a shaker which concerns on another embodiment mentioned later, the lower end of each spring 14 is attached to the edge of the conveyor 20 which comprises an apparatus.

  The prime mover 12 generates a rotational force as power for vibrating the vibrating body 11. The rotational force generated from the prime mover 12 is first transmitted to a power transmission mechanism 13 connected to the prime mover 12. The power transmission mechanism 13 includes a crank mechanism 134 including a disc-shaped crank arm 1342 and a rod 1343, a first transmission member 131, a second transmission member 132, and a third transmission member 133. The crank arm 1342 connected to the prime mover 12 rotates due to the rotational force generated from the prime mover 12, whereby the rod 1343 connected to the crank arm 1342 reciprocates. The rod 1343 is connected to the first transmission member 131 at the first connecting portion. The reciprocating motion of the rod 1343 is transmitted to the first transmission member 131, whereby the first transmission member 131 swings around the shaft 131P.

  The second transmission member 132 is coupled to the first transmission member 131 at the second coupling portion located between the first coupling portion and the shaft 131P. Further, what is the second coupling portion? A third transmission member 133 is coupled to a fourth coupling portion located on the opposite side across the shaft 131P. Each of the second transmission member and the third transmission member is composed of a chain. Since the second connection portion and the fourth connection portion are located on the opposite sides of the shaft 131P on the first transmission member 131, the second transmission member 132 and the third transmission member 133 are disposed. Is alternately pulled by the swinging first transmission member 131.

  Here, operations and states of the first to third transmission members when the first transmission member 131 swings will be described. In FIG. 2, the first transmission member 131 receives power from the rod 1343 and swings up and down around the shaft 131P. First, the right side of the first transmission member 131 is raised (ie, the first transmission member 131 is raised). , The left side is going down). At this time, the second transmission member 132 composed of a chain is relaxed. As the right side of the first transmission member 131 is lowered, the second transmission member 132 is stretched by lowering the lower end connected to the first transmission member 131, and is completely strained at a certain point. At this moment, the entire second transmission member 132 is suddenly pulled by the first transmission member 131, so that the tensile force is transmitted to the upper end of the second transmission member 132 with an impact. After that, while continuing to move so that the right side of the first transmission member 131 is lowered, the second transmission member 132 is pulled by the transmission member 131. Eventually, when the direction of movement is changed so that the right side of the first transmission member 131 is raised (that is, the left side is lowered), the second transmission member 132 is relaxed. Next, similarly, as the left side of the first transmission member 131 is lowered, the relaxed third transmission member 133 is stretched and tensioned, and the tensile force of the third transmission member 133 is increased with an impact. Transmit to the top. Eventually, when the first transmission member 131 changes the direction of motion again, the third transmission member 133 relaxes. Since the above is repeated, the tensile force from the first transmission member 131 is alternately and repeatedly transmitted to the second transmission member 132 and the third transmission member 133 with an impact.

  Note that the second transmission member 132 and the third transmission member 133 are preferably configured by chains as described above, but even if the second transmission member 132 and the third transmission member 133 are configured by other than the chain, the tensile force is not transmitted without transmitting the pressing force. Since the same effect is acquired if it is the structure which transmits this, in another embodiment, you may make it comprise with a rope or a wire, for example.

  The second transmission member 132 is connected to the support member 111a which is one of the pair of support members 111 constituting the vibrating body 11 in the third connection portion. Therefore, the tensile force transmitted to the second transmission member 132 is transmitted to the support member 111a via the third connecting portion, and the vibrating body 11 is vibrated. The third transmission member 133 is connected to the support member 111b which is the other of the pair of support members 111 constituting the vibrating body 11 at the fifth connection portion. Therefore, the tensile force transmitted to the third transmission member 133 is transmitted to the support member 111b via the fifth connecting portion, and the vibrating body 11 is vibrated. As described above, since the tensile force with an impact is alternately transmitted to the second transmission member 132 and the third transmission member 133, the vibrating body 11 supported by the spring 14 is supported by the support member 111a. And the support member 111b are subjected to a tensile force accompanied by an impact alternately and vibrate in a complicated manner.

  At this time, each of the pair of support members 111 receives a downward tensile force from the second and third transmission members 132 and 133, but each of the pair of support members 111 and the second and third transmission members. The springs 14c and 14d are arranged near the third and fifth connecting portions that connect the members 132 and 133, respectively, so that each of the pair of support members 111 resists the downward tensile force. This effectively prevents the central portion of the support member 111 from being bent downward. For this reason, since it is not necessary to make the support member 111 strong compared with the case where the springs 14c and 14d are not used, the vibrating body 11 can be reduced in weight, and the power generated by the prime mover 12 can also be reduced. It can be made relatively small to match the lightweight vibrating body 11.

  The vibration of the vibrating body 11 is transmitted to the container C placed on the vibrating body 11 as illustrated by a broken line in FIG. As a result, the container C vibrates in a complicated manner, and the contents S are shaken out of the container C. The details of how the container C vibrates will be described with reference to FIG. 3 (a) to 3 (c) show that the support members 111a and 111b constituting the vibrating body 11 and the container C placed thereon are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support members 111a and 111b. It is the figure which cut | disconnected by the surface and showed typically. FIG. 3A shows a state where the substantially cylindrical container C is placed on the support members 111a and 111b constituting the vibrating body 11 so that the mouth portion C1 faces downward. Here, by alternately raising and lowering the left and right support members 111a and 111b, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the container C swings so as to rotate left and right. Since the left and right support members 111a and 111b are connected by the connecting member 112 and further supported by the spring 14, the movement thereof is not a monotonous repetitive movement with a constant period, but an irregularity in which the center of gravity always moves. It becomes exercise. That is, the vibrating body 11 and the container C placed on the vibrating body 11 vibrate with swinging as a whole, not only translational vibration. Furthermore, as described above, the mechanism for transmitting power to the vibrating body is not a fixed-length rod, but a member that can bend and stretch, such as a chain, a rope, or a wire. The impact force is induced not by the motion but by the inconsistency of motion, and a large impact vibration is generated. As a result, the contents S of the container C are quickly dropped due to shaking in all directions. In this embodiment, since the support members 111a and 111b are connected by the connecting member 112, the vibrating body 11 vibrates with swinging. However, as another embodiment, for example, each receives power. If a plurality of parts of the vibrating body are not connected or loosely connected by a stretchable member, the plurality of parts of the vibrating body vibrate separately, and even in this case, the object of the present invention is achieved. be able to.

  As a specific example of the usage method of the shaking device 1, a method of shaking the contents shell S from the round basket C using the shaking device 1 will be described. First, the prime mover 12 is operated to vibrate the vibrating body 11. In this state, as shown in FIG. 4, the round basket C is placed between a pair of pipe-shaped support members 111 a and 111 b constituting the vibrating body 11 so that the mouth portion C <b> 1 faces downward. Alternatively, the prime mover 12 may be operated after the round basket C is placed on the vibrating body 11. Then, as described with reference to FIG. 3, the vibration of the vibrating body 11 is transmitted to the round basket C, and the shell S is shaken out from the inside. Further, even when a shell S such as a scallop is stuck in the round cage C by, for example, a mussel foot thread, if it is a little foot thread, it is cut by vibration and the shell S falls. Still, the shell S remaining in the round cage C can be immediately manually removed by stopping the vibration of the vibrating body 11, half-rotating the round cage, and pointing the mouth portion C1 upward. The shell S shaken out from the round basket C falls from the swing device 1, but when receiving a shell S, if a container for transportation such as SUNTENER (registered trademark) is placed under the swing device 1. good.

  As described above, if the shaking device 1 is used, the shell can be efficiently shaken out from the round basket. In the above description, as an example of how to use the swing device 1, the case of shelling out a shell from a round basket has been described as an example. However, the swing device 1 is effective only for a round basket storing shells. Clearly, the contents can generally be shaken out of a suitably shaped container from which the contents are shaken out.

  The conveyor 2 with a shaker device which concerns on another one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated below. FIG. 5 is an overall view of the conveyor 2 with a shaking device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The conveyor 2 with an oscillating device includes an oscillating device 1 and a conveyor 20, and a spring 14 that supports the vibrating body 11 constituting the oscillating device 1 is attached to a fixed portion of the conveyor 20. The conveyor 20 includes a horizontal portion 201 and an inclined portion 202, and the vibrating body 11 is installed along the horizontal portion 201 above the horizontal portion 201. Although the length of the horizontal part 201 should just be longer than the assumed length of the container C, it is preferable that it is longer than a pair of support members 111a and 111b which comprise the vibrating body 11. FIG. Further, the width of the conveyor 20 may be wider or narrower than the distance between the pair of support members 111a and 111b constituting the vibrating body 11.

  In the conveyor 20, one belt 22 travels through the horizontal portion 201 and the inclined portion 202. The belt 22 travels from the horizontal portion 201 to the inclined portion 202 by bending the belt 22 by pressing the both sides of the belt 22 on which the conveyed product is not placed from above with a roller at a position where the horizontal portion 201 moves to the inclined portion 202. Even so, the entire belt is not lifted up.

  Thus, by providing the conveyor 20 having the horizontal part 201 and the inclined part 202, the height of the horizontal part 201 can be set to the lowest ground height possible in the structure of the apparatus, and is installed above it. Even when a container C such as a round basket is placed on the shaker 1, the burden on the operator is reduced because the height is low. Further, the contents S such as shellfish swung out from the container C can be received by the belt 20 and can be conveyed and raised as it is to the position and height required in the next step.

  In addition, as another structure corresponding to the conveyor 20 having the horizontal portion 201 and the inclined portion 202, it is conceivable to combine two linear conveyors. If so, there is a risk of spilling at the connection point of the two conveyors. In addition, it is conceivable to use one linear conveyor in an inclined state, but in that case, there is a problem such as poor workability due to the inclination.

  As a specific example of the usage method of the conveyor 2 with a shaking device, a method of shaking and conveying the shell S of the contents from the round basket C will be described. First, the prime mover 12 included in the shaking device 1 is operated to vibrate the vibrating body 11. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6, the round basket C is placed between a pair of pipe-shaped support members 111 a and 111 b constituting the vibrating body 11 so that the mouth portion C <b> 1 faces downward. Alternatively, the prime mover 12 may be operated after the round basket C is placed on the vibrating body 11. Then, as described with reference to FIG. 3, the vibration of the vibrating body 11 is transmitted to the round basket C, and the shell S is shaken out from the inside, and falls on the belt 22 running on the conveyor 20. The shellfish S is directly conveyed by the belt 22 through the horizontal portion 201 and the inclined portion 202 of the conveyor 20, and reaches the target position and height.

  As mentioned above, if the conveyor 2 with a shaker is used, a shell can be efficiently shaken out and conveyed from a round basket. In the above description, as an example of how to use the conveyor 2 with the swing device, the case where the shell is shaken from the round cage and transported has been described as an example, but the conveyor 2 with the swing device is attached to the round basket storing the shell. It is clear that the effect is not exerted only for the contents, and generally, the contents can be shaken out and conveyed from a container having an appropriate shape such that the contents are shaken out.

  Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described herein, those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the scope of the claims, and equivalents may be substituted for the elements thereof.
