However, the sprout ball forming machine 1 suffices if it can press the cooked rice lump to form a sprout ball, and is not limited to the structure provided with the turntable 4 as in the present embodiment. Moreover, the shape of the shaped shrimp ball does not need to be substantially bowl-shaped as in the present embodiment, and may be a roughly spherical shaped ball called, for example, Temari Sushi.

  The warship winding device 10 is a device for winding the seaweed N (see FIG. 5) around the outer peripheral side surface of the sharp balls formed by the sharp ball molding machine 1. In the laver container 11 of the warship winding device 10, for example, a plurality of laver N formed in a strip shape (rectangular shape) is accommodated.

  In this warship winding device 10, the lower surface facing the upper surface of the turntable 4 is located at the lower surface of the molding lower die 5 (the leftmost lower molding die 5 in FIG. 5) disposed at the shearing ball detection position. A sensor (detection means: not shown) for detecting the presence or absence of a ball is provided. This sensor is constituted by an optical sensor such as a phototransistor or a photodiode, for example.

  Further, in the warship winding device 10, a frame 12 serving as a guide when supplying the seaweed N on the turntable 4 to the seaweed supply position downstream of the sharp ball detection position (downstream in the rotation direction of the turntable 4) (see FIG. 5).

  Further, in the nori container 11 of the warship winding device 10, the nori in the nori container 11 is supplied to the frame 12 one by one based on the detection result of the sensor that detects the sharp balls. A supply mechanism (nori supply means: not shown) is provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the warship winding device 10, a nori-side clamper (winding member) 13 a and a front clamper (winding member) are provided at a nori winding position downstream of the nori supply position (downstream in the rotation direction of the turntable 4). A winding member 13b and a holding plate (winding member) 14 are provided in a movable state along the outer periphery of the molded lower mold 5 (sharp ball) at the laver winding position. The back side clamper 13a and the front side clamper 13b are members for winding the seaweed N around the outer peripheral side surface of the sharp ball, and the restraining plate 14 is a member for suppressing the sharp ball when the nori N is wound.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the transfer machine 40 conveys the shrimp ball RN with seaweed formed by the shrimp ball forming machine 1 to the transfer position by the first conveyor 30-1 of the transport conveyor 30. It is a mechanism part which transfers to the dish D which was carried out, and is provided with the holding part 41 which transfers the shrimp ball RN with a seaweed to the dish D.

  The gripping portion 41 is provided with a pair of chucks (gripping means) 41a for gripping the shrimp ball RN with seaweed. The chuck 41a can be opened / closed and lifted / lowered, and can be turned in a forward / reverse direction along a horizontal plane.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the pair of chucks 41a is supported by the support body 41b so as to be opened and closed. The chuck 41a is opened and closed by an opening / closing motor 41c and a tension spring (not shown) disposed above the chuck 41a. That is, the opening / closing shaft 41e is connected to the cam 41d directly connected to the rotation shaft of the opening / closing motor 41c. The opening / closing shaft 41e moves up and down by the rotation of the cam 41d. When the opening / closing shaft 41e moves downward, the chuck opening / closing plate 41f above the chuck 41a is pushed down to open the chuck 41a. On the other hand, a tension spring is interposed between the left and right chucks 41a, and the left and right chucks 41a are closed when the pressing force to the chuck opening / closing plate 41f by the opening / closing shaft 41e disappears.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the pair of chucks 41 a is supported by the grip portion 41 in a state in which the pair of chucks 41 a can move up and down (up and down). The raising / lowering of the chuck 41a is performed by transmitting the rotational power of the raising / lowering motor 41g to the crank 41i through the gear 41h. That is, when the rotating shaft of the lifting motor 41g rotates, the crank 41i moves up and down accordingly, so that the support body 41b and the pair of chucks 41a mechanically connected to the crank 41i move up and down.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the pair of chucks 41 a is installed on the grip portion 41 so as to be rotatable along a horizontal plane. The turning mechanism of the chuck 41a is configured to rotate the rod 41j arranged in the vertical direction while supporting the chuck 41a of the grip portion 41 by the turning motor 41k. In other words, the chuck 41a and the rod 41j that supports the chuck 41a are supported by the grip portion 41 in a state of being rotatable in a horizontal plane. A turning motor 41k is installed on the outer periphery of the rod 41j. The turning motor gear 41m connected to the rotation shaft of the turning motor 41k is mechanically engaged with a turning driven gear 41n attached to the upper outer periphery of the rod 41j. When the turning motor 41k rotates, the turning motor gear 41m and Rotational power is transmitted to the rod 41j via the swivel driven gear 41n, and the rod 41j rotates along a horizontal plane around the axis. Here, the pair of chucks 41a is located at the turning center of the rod 41j. The turning motor 41k and various gears move up and down together with the upper and lower sides of the chuck 41a. Further, the rod 41j is formed in a hollow shape, and the opening / closing shaft described above is installed in the hollow so as to be movable up and down. However, the turning mechanism is not limited to this.

  The gripper 41 slides on a rail (moving means) 44 by a belt (moving means) 43 that is rotated in the forward and reverse directions by a motor (moving means) 42 (see FIG. 6). It is possible to reciprocate linearly along a line that connects the gripping position of the sharp ball in the molding machine 1 and the transfer position of the sharp ball to the dish D conveyed by the first conveyor 30-1. . In addition, the motor 42 of the holding part 41 is comprised by the servomotor. However, the motor 42 is not limited to a servo motor as long as the gripper 41 can be positioned and controlled.

  As described above, according to the warship winding molding transfer apparatus M of the present embodiment, the sprout balls RN with seaweed are transferred to the dish D which is transferred to the first conveyor 30-1 (the transfer conveyor 30) by the transfer machine 40. It becomes the composition to be described. Therefore, the shape forming machine 1 can be provided with versatility, and is not only used as a component of the warship winding forming transfer device M for transferring the shape forming device RN with seaweed to the plate D, but independently. Can also be used.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the warship molding and transfer device of FIG. 1 as viewed from the front side, and an extracted pinch portion provided on the sharp ball pinching member is extracted, and FIG. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the warship molding and transfer device as seen from the front side and showing the pinched portion in the closed state provided on the sharp ball pinching member. FIG. FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 12, and FIG. 14 shows a state in which the sandwiching portion in FIG. 12 is in an open state. FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing a main part of FIG. 14, and FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing another sandwiching part having a sandwiching width different from the sandwiching part shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the shrimp ball sandwiching member 70 includes two shrimp balls RN with seaweed transferred by the transfer machine 40 to the dish D transported to the first conveyor 30-1. A pair of mechanisms for correcting the position so that there is no gap by contacting each other, and the position is corrected by sandwiching two sharp balls RN when the first conveyor 30-1 is stopped as will be described later. The sandwiching portion 71 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, the sandwiching portion 71 is supported by the support body 72 in a state where it can be opened and closed. The opening / closing of the sandwiching portion 71 is performed by an opening / closing motor 73 and a tension spring 74 disposed above the sandwiching portion 71. That is, the opening / closing shaft 76 is connected to the cam 75 directly connected to the rotation shaft of the opening / closing motor 73. The opening / closing shaft 76 moves up and down as the cam 75 rotates. When the opening / closing shaft 76 moves downward, the upper portion of the sandwiching portion 71 is pushed down by the lower end portion 76a of the opening / closing shaft 76, thereby opening the sandwiching portion 71. On the other hand, a tension spring 74 is interposed between the left and right sandwiching portions 71, and the left and right sandwiching portions 71 are closed when the pressing force by the opening and closing shaft 76 is lost.

  Further, a holding block 78 is attached to an L-shaped plate 77 fixed to the opening / closing motor 73 so that the support 72 is detachably fitted therein. The above-mentioned opening / closing shaft 76 penetrates the holding block 78, and when the support body 72 is held by the holding block 78, the lower end portion of the opening / closing shaft 76 is positioned immediately above the closed sandwiching portion 71. It has become.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 16, in the present embodiment, unlike the sandwiching portion 71 described above, the sandwiching portion 81 having a wider sandwiching width than the sandwiching portion 71 is also provided with the support 72. It is adapted to be attached to the holding block 78. The sandwiching portion 81 is for correcting the position by sandwiching three of the sharp balls RN when three of the sharp balls RN are transferred to the dish D. Therefore, in the warship winding and transferring apparatus M according to the present embodiment, by selectively attaching two types of sandwiching portions 71 and 81 having different sandwiching widths, two sharp balls RN are transferred to the dish D. It is possible to cope with the time when three are transferred.

  Next, FIG. 17 is a block diagram showing a control system of the warship volume forming / transferring device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 18 is an example of a warship winding in the process of being transferred to a plate by the warship winding shape transferring device of FIG. It is a perspective view.

  The control part (control means) C (refer FIG. 17) which comprises the warship winding shaping | molding transfer equipment M is the sharp ball molding machine 1, the tray supply machine 20, the 1st conveyor 30-1, the 2nd conveyor 30-2, the transfer. The operation of the loading machine 40 and the shrimp ball sandwiching member 70 is controlled, and the two shrimp balls RN with seaweed are transferred onto the plate D on the conveyor 30 by the transferer 40, and the two transferred It is a control circuit which performs control which corrects a position so that it may contact between each other by pinching the sharp ball RN with the sharp ball pinching member 70, and may eliminate a crevice.

  For example, an input unit 60 (FIG. 17) configured by a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit is electrically connected to the control unit C. Then, the operator operates the input unit 60 to input a desired command (the number of transfer of the nori-shaped shari balls RN with respect to one plate D, the manner of arrangement, etc.), so that the warship winding transfer device M performs an operation according to the input content.

  In addition, the control unit C controls the dish take-out mechanism unit of the dish feeder 20 to drop the dishes D stocked in the stock part 21 of the dish feeder 20 one by one from the bottom to the dish supply conveyor 22 one by one. The control to be executed is executed. Moreover, the control part C performs control which conveys the dish D of the 1st conveyor 30-1 to an appropriate position by controlling the drive motor of the 1st conveyor 30-1.

  The operation of the second conveyor 30-2 is not synchronized with the first conveyor 30-1, and the conveying operation is performed at a constant speed. If it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the dish D has reached the conveyance end of the second conveyor 30-2, the conveyance is stopped by the control unit C that has received a signal from the sensor. .

  Further, the control unit C controls the motor 42 of the transfer machine 40 to execute control for moving the chuck 41a of the gripping unit 41 to an appropriate position.

  Further, the control unit C controls the turning motor 41k (see FIG. 7) that turns the chuck 41a of the transfer machine 40 along a horizontal plane to turn the pair of chucks 41a and 41a by a predetermined angle. Thus, when transferring a plurality of shari balls RN with nori onto one dish D, the seam N seam N1 (see FIG. 11) on the outer peripheral side surface of each shari ball RN with nori is the other nori. Control is performed to transfer so as to face the attached sharp ball RN.

  Then, the control unit C controls the opening / closing motor 73 of the sharp ball pinching member 70 to open and close the pinching portion 71 so that the two sharp balls RN are in contact with each other and the position is corrected. Control is to be executed.

  FIG. 18 illustrates a case where two shrimp balls RN with nori are transferred to one dish D. Each sari ball RN with seaweed is transferred to the plate D with the seams N1, N1 of each seaweed N facing each other. With the drop-type laying mechanism, it is not possible to drop a sprout ball with seaweed and place it on a plate, and even more, it cannot be placed on a plate with the seam seam of the sprout ball facing another.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the sharp ball RN with seaweed can be easily transferred to the dish D. In addition, when two Shari balls RN with seaweed RN are transferred to one dish D, the seam N seam N1 of the Shari balls RN with seaweed is moved so that it faces the other Shari balls RN with seaweed RN. Can be listed. As a result, if the seaweed N on the outer peripheral side surface of the shrimp ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed tries to open to the outside due to the passage of time or the like, it cannot be opened greatly because it is obstructed by the next shrimp ball RN with seaweed. In other words, it is possible to prevent the seaweed N on the outer peripheral side of the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed from greatly opening outside due to the passage of time, etc. The appearance can be maintained.

  Next, a driving example of the warship winding forming transfer device M of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 (a) to 19 (c) are plan views of the main part of the turntable in the process of winding nori around the shari balls, and FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b) wind nori around the shari balls following FIG. 19 (c). It is a principal part enlarged plan view of the turntable in a process. In addition, here, for example, a case where two shrimp balls RN with nori are transferred to one dish D will be described. Moreover, in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, in order to make drawing easy to see, hatching was attached | subjected to the round ball R of the seaweed N winding object.

  First, the cooked rice lump is put into the shaping hole 4a of the turntable 4 of the sharpened ball molding machine 1 shown in FIG. 4, and the cooked rice lump is pressed by the molded lower mold 5 and the molded upper mold to form the shaped ball R (see FIG. 19). ). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), the sharp ball R is placed on the lower molding die 5 (the leftmost lower molding die 5 in FIG. 19 (a)) at the sharp ball detection position in the upper surface of the turntable 4. When it is detected by a sensor (not shown), the turntable 4 is rotated counterclockwise by one molding lower die 5 as shown in FIG. One laver N in the laver container 11 of the warship winding device 10 is fed into the frame 12 at the laver supply position.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), when the turntable 4 is further rotated counterclockwise by one molding lower die 5 minutes, the turntable 4 is in a state where the nodule N entrains the laver N. Move to the seaweed wrapping position in the top surface of. Thereby, it is affixed on the one side side surface of the sharp ball R in a state where the seaweed N is deformed in a U shape at the laver winding position.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 20 (a), after the restraint plate 14 is moved to the side surface of one side (right side of FIG. 20 (a)) of the shrimp ball R in the laver winding position, The back side clamper 13a is moved to the side surface of the opposite side of the sharp ball R (left side of FIG. 20A), and the seaweed N is attached to the side surface of the sharp ball R.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), at the laver winding position, the front side clamper 13b is placed on one side opposite to the sharp ball R (FIG. 20 (b) with the back side clamper 13a and the holding plate 14 left intact. ) To the side of the left side of) and paste the seaweed N on the side of one side of the sharp ball R. In this way, the seaweed N is wound around the outer peripheral side surface of the sharp ball R.

  Then, after returning the back side clamper 13a, the front side clamper 13b, and the holding plate 14 to their original positions, the turntable 4 is rotated to hold the shrimp ball RN with seaweed in the gripping position (the rightmost molding hole 4a in FIG. 5). To the position).

  In parallel with this, in the first conveyor 30-1, the first conveyor 30-1 is based on information from a sensor (not shown) that detects the position of the dish D that is transported on the first conveyor 30-1. By controlling the brushless motor driving No. 1 by the control unit C, the first conveyor 30-1 is stopped at the transfer position of the shrimp ball RN with seaweed.

  Next, when the nori-shaped shaving balls RN are transported to the gripping position of the turntable 4, the chuck 41a of the transfer machine 40 shown in FIG. 6 and the like is lowered and grips the nori-shaped shaving balls RN. At this time, the long side portion of the sharp ball RN with seaweed is gripped by the chuck 41a.

  Subsequently, after the chuck 41a of the gripper 41 grips the shrimp ball RN with seaweed and rises while turning by a predetermined rotation angle along the horizontal plane, the gripper 41 is driven by the motor 42 and the rail It slides 44 and moves to the sharp ball transfer position of the 1st conveyor 30-1. Thereafter, when the chuck 41a is lowered and opened at the position where the ball is transferred, the ball RN with seaweed is transferred to the plate D on the first conveyor 30-1 being stopped.

  At this time, the shrimp ball RN with seaweed is at a position farther from the center of the dish D (that is, at a position opposite to the turntable 4 of the shrimp ball forming machine 1 than the center of the dish D), and It is transferred so that the longitudinal direction is the direction along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1. Further, the seam N seam N1 of the sprout balls RN with seaweed is transferred so as to face the turntable 4 of the sprout ball forming machine 1. The direction of the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the shrimp ball RN with the seaweed is adjusted by turning control of the chuck 41a by the control unit C described above. However, the timing of the rotation of the chuck 41a may be any time as long as it is after gripping the shrimp ball RN with nori but before transferring to the dish D. For example, the chuck 41a in a state of gripping the shrimp ball RN with nori It may be at the time of lateral movement or descending.

  In the sharpening machine 1, when the sensor (not shown) detects that the sharpening ball RN with seaweed at the gripping position of the turntable 4 is picked up by the chuck 41a, the turntable 4 determines in advance. The next sharp ball R is formed on the turntable 4 by rotating the rotation angle.

  Thereafter, the second sprout ball RN with seaweed is transferred by the transfer device 40 at a position closer to the front side than the center of the plate D (that is, on the turntable 4 side of the sprout ball forming machine 1 from the center of the plate D). And the longitudinal direction of the first conveyor 30-1 is transferred in the direction along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1. At this time, in the present embodiment, the chuck 41a is moved along the horizontal plane in the same manner as described above while the chuck 41a holding the second sprout ball RN with nori is moved from the holding position to the transfer position. By turning, the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the second shrimp ball RN with the second seaweed gripped by the chuck 41a is transferred to the plate N of the seaweed Nr with the seaweed RN already transferred to the plate D. With the second seaweed so that it faces the seam N1 (that is, the seam N of the seaweed N of the shari ball RN with seaweed faces the opposite side of the turntable 4 of the shari ball molding machine 1) No. Shari ball RN is transferred to the dish D.

  Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 11, two shrimp balls RN with seaweed are sequentially transferred onto the plate D on the first conveyor 30-1. The two nori-shari balls RN are arranged side by side with the seam N1 of each seaweed N facing each other. As a result, it is possible to prevent the seaweed N on the outer peripheral side of the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed from opening to the outside due to the passage of time, etc., so the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed Can maintain its appearance.

  When the two sprout balls RN with seaweed are placed as described above, the control unit C drives the first conveyor 30-1, and the dish D with the sprout ball sandwiching member 70 drives the dish D with the seaweed. It is moved intermittently to the pinching position of the ball RN. At this time, the sandwiching portion 71 is in an open state, and conveyance of the dish D is stopped at a position between the sandwiching portions 71 where the two sharp balls RN are opened.

  Then, the control unit C drives the opening / closing motor 73 of the sharp ball pinching member 70 to bring the pair of pinching portions 71 into a closed position, thereby correcting the position so that the two sharp balls RN are in contact with each other. And the gap between the sharp balls RN disappears. If the position of the sharp ball RN is corrected in this way, the control unit C drives the opening / closing motor 73 to return the sandwiching unit 71 to the opened position as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, since the direction in which the sharp balls RN are sandwiched by the pair of sandwiching portions 71 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1, the transition of the sharp balls RN to the dish D is performed. The longitudinal direction of the loading direction is the direction along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1.

  However, the sandwiching direction of the sharp balls RN by the pair of sandwiching portions 71 may be a direction along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1, and in this case, the transfer direction of the sharp balls RN with respect to the dish D is The longitudinal direction is a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1.

  Next, the dish D is transferred from the first conveyor 30-1 to the second conveyor 30-2 and, as described above, is transported to the next process (such as a process for placing sushi seeds).

  In addition, in the case of transferring three shaving balls RN to one dish D, the transferring operation of the shaving balls RN with seaweed so that the second shaving ball RN is located at the center of the dish D. Can be repeated three times. Also in this case, the seams N1 of the seaweed N of the sari ball RN with two seaweeds are made to face each other, and the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the saritama RN with one seaweed is already placed. The shrimp ball RN with nori is transferred so that it faces the other shrimp ball RN with nori.

  Further, when three sharp balls RN are transferred to one dish D, a holding part 78 having a wide holding width shown in FIG. The position is corrected by inserting the sharp ball RN.

  Now, in the above description, the sharp ball RN is sandwiched by the sharp ball pinching member 70 as the sharp ball position correcting means for bringing the plural sharp balls RN into contact with each other and eliminating the gap. The present invention is not limited to this, and various mechanisms can be employed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 22, it is considered to use a conveyance blocking member 91 that is movably provided between a blocking position for blocking the conveyance of the sharp ball RN and an allowable position for allowing the conveyance by the control of the control unit C. It is done. Such a conveyance blocking member 91 is set to the blocking position, and the conveyance of the sharp ball RN located in the front of the conveyance direction in accordance with the conveyance of the dish D by the first conveyor 30-1 is prevented so that the sharp ball RN is moved to the other position. Touch the ball RN. And if the 1st conveyor 30-1 stops, what is necessary is just to make it move the conveyance prevention member 91 to an allowable position (a raise position, a side position, etc.).

  In addition, when the conveyance blocking member 91 is used, the transfer direction of the sharp ball RN with respect to the dish D is different from the case described above so that the longitudinal direction is a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the first conveyor 30-1. To do.

  Further, in this embodiment, the sharp ball position correcting means such as the sharp ball pinching member 70 and the conveyance blocking member 91 are controlled by the control unit C, but synchronized with the intermittent conveyance operation of the first conveyor 30-1. Therefore, it is sufficient that the control unit C operates.
