And a supply conveyor unit 10 capable of supplying to the processing line, etc. The target ridge A has a pattern close to a flat state and a pattern having a curved shape in which the left and right end portions are slightly bent in the vertical direction.
In the lower part of the stock section 9, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, a delivery mechanism 11 is provided for sequentially feeding the piled ridges A one by one from the lower side to the supply conveyor section 10. The delivery mechanism 11 includes a stock board 12, suction means 13, peeling means 14, suction stop means, delivery means 15 and the like.
The outline of the present invention is as described above. Hereinafter, the seaweed feeder 8 of the present invention will be described in more detail.

<< About stock board 12 >>
First, the stock board 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4.
The delivery mechanism 11 at the lower part of the stock unit 9 of the nori seaweed feeder 8 is provided with a stock board 12 first. The stock boards 12 are provided in a pair at the center with a distance therebetween, and are provided on the vehicle body so as to be rockable and vertically displaceable at horizontal axes (in the figure, front and rear axes) 16 respectively.
Therefore, the left and right stock boards 12 respectively correspond to the holding postures D of the piles A (FIGS. 1, 4 (1), (4), (5), (6)) and In the open posture E ((2), (3) in FIG. 4), it is possible to swing and displace.
In the upper holding posture D, the left and right stock boards 12 hold the pile ridge A from the lower side and both sides. In the lower open posture E, the left and right stock boards 12 release the holding of the piled ridge A.
About stock board 12, it is as above.

<< About suction means 13 >>
Next, the suction means 13 will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG.
Next, the delivery mechanism 11 under the stock unit 9 of the nori seaweed feeder 8 is provided with a suction means 13. The suction means 13 is provided as a pair on the left and right with a gap at the center, and can be pivoted to the left and right edges of the central horizontal frame 18 which is an immovable part, respectively by the horizontal axis It is provided to be displaceable.
The upper surface which is the suction surface of the suction means 13 is in the form of a flat plate in the illustrated example, but it may be in the form of a curved plate. That is, the flat plate shape is selected for the flat pattern and the curved plate shape is selected and used for the curved pattern, corresponding to the above-described pattern of the ridge A.
Therefore, the left and right suction means 13 respectively correspond to the upper horizontal posture F ((1) of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 (1), FIG. 4 (1), (2)), and the lower inclined posture. G ((2) in FIG. 2, (3) and (4) in FIG. 4), and the lowermost further inclined posture H ((3) in FIG. 2, (5) in FIG. 4, (6) in FIG.

In the upper horizontal posture F, the left and right suction means 13 can hold the piled ridge A dropped by the open posture E displacement of the stock board 12 from the lower side and both sides, and the right and left ends thereof are directly Contact suction is possible.
Thereafter, also in the displacement to the lower inclined posture G, the left and right suction means 13 continue the direct contact suction as it is. Therefore, only one lower side ridge A 'drawn and drawn among the piles of ridges A is greatly curved with the left and right ends downward. Then, a gap S is formed between the upper pile lath A.
By the way, the left and right stock boards 12 are left and right clearances formed between the piled ridge A and the greatly curved one lower ridge A 'due to the displacement of the left and right suction means 13 to the lower inclined posture G. It is possible to insert into S by holding posture D displacement. Thus, the stock board 12 separates the piled ridge A from the single lower ridge A ', and holds the piled ridge A afterward.
The suction means 13 takes an upper position than the home position delivery means 15 in the horizontal posture F, and takes a lower position in the inclined posture G. Then, in the lowermost further inclined posture H, the suction means 13 takes a lower position than the peeling means 14 in the fixed position.
Usually, a fan or a blower is used as such suction means 13. Although a fan with a pressure of less than 10 kPa is often sufficient, a powerful suction blower may be used. Of course, when using a fan, there is also an advantage that the whole is miniaturized.
The suction means 13 is as described above.

<< About peeling means 14 and suction stop means >>
Next, the peeling means 14 will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG.
Next, the delivery mechanism 11 under the stock unit 9 of the nori seaweed feeder 8 is provided with a peeling means 14.
The peeling means 14 is provided in a pair at left and right with a gap at the center, and fixed at the left and right end edges of the central horizontal frame 18 which is an immovable part. It is provided protruding to the left and right outward and inclining downward respectively.
Then, the peeling means 14 sucks the lower lower ridge A 'separated from the pile ridge A by the stock board 12 and curved as described above, based on the suction means 13 displacing to the lower further inclined posture H. It can be released from the means 13.
That is, the suction means 13 passes through the peeling means 14 which takes a fixed position, and is displaced from the inclined posture G to a further inclined posture H, so that the peeling means 14 scoops the lower side ridge A 'during its displacement. It is opened and separated from the suction means 13 as it is taken.
In addition, it is also possible to replace with such peeling means 14 or to use a suction stop means together with the peeling means 14.
That is, in the delivery mechanism 11, it is also possible to substitute or supplement the function of the peeling means 14 illustrated by the suction stop means.
As the suction stop means, the operation on / off portion of the suction means 13 is used, and the operation of the suction means 13 is stopped by the operation off, so that one lower side ridge A 'separated from the pile Nori A and curved. Can be released from the suction means 13 where the suction has stopped. Usually, the suction stop due to the operation off gradually progresses gradually.
The peeling means 14 and the suction stopping means are as described above.

<< About the sending means 15 >>
Next, the delivery means 15 will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG.
The delivery mechanism 11 at the lower part of the stock unit 9 of the nori seaweed feeder 8 next comprises delivery means 15.

The delivery means 15 is as described above.

<< Usage example 1 of nori seaweed feeder 8 >>
Next, with reference to FIG. 5 (1) and further FIG. 3, an example of use of the nori seaweed feeder 8 in the production line B will be described.
In this example of use, the foreign matter is removed from foreign matter detected by foreign matter inspection device 19 of production line B, which is a processing line of nori A, and foreign matter is removed and removed from foreign matter removed from foreign matter removal. It is provided along with the production line B in order to resupply the foreign substance inspection device 19 and the production line for confirmation.
Then, one lower side ridge (foreign matter removing laver) A ′ of the piled laver (foreign matter removing laver) A of the stock unit 9 is sent to the supply conveyor portion 10 by the laver feeder 8 by the delivery mechanism 11 . The lower ridge A ′ thus sent reaches the loading standby position of the supply conveyor unit 10, and when the position confirmation sensor 20 detects this, it stands by at the same position.
Then, on the production line B side, if there is an empty space between the seaweeds (general seaweeds) A sent by the line conveyor 21, the seaweed A 'is introduced from the insertion standby position to the empty space on the line conveyor 21. .
In the figure, reference numeral 22 denotes a driving roller of the feed conveyor unit 10, reference numeral 23 denotes a pressing roller, and reference numeral 24 denotes an entrance conveyor to the foreign matter inspection apparatus 19.
The usage example 1 of the nori seaweed feeder 8 is as described above.

<< Usage example 2 of nori seaweed feeder 8 >>
Next, with reference to (2) of FIG. 5 and further to FIG. 3, an example of use of the nori seaweed feeder 8 at the processing line C will be described.
In this example of use, the nori feeder 8 is provided to supply nori A for the processing line C which is a treatment line of nori A.
In the illustrated example, the processing line C at least includes, in the illustrated example, an inspection device 25 for detecting foreign particles and a shape, a baking device 26 using a baking pot, a seasoning device 27 with a sponge roller of seasoning liquid, a fog drying device 28 and the like.
Then, one lower side ridge A ′ of the piled ridges A of the stock unit 9 is sent to the supply conveyor unit 10 by the feeding mechanism 11 by the noriyme feeder 8.
Thus, the lower side ridges A 'are sequentially input to the inlet conveyor 29 of the processing line C from the supply standby position of the supply conveyor unit 10 (for the position confirmation sensor 20 and the like, refer to the above-mentioned place). And, at this processing line C, seasoned processed roasted seaweed A "is prepared.
Although the seasoned grilled nori seaweed A ′ ′ (that is, seasoned nori seaweed) is prepared, it is also conceivable to prepare only the grilled seaweed A ′ ′ regardless of the illustrated example. In the processing line in this case, the baking device 26 is the central device, and the flavoring device 27 and the drying device 28 are not used.
The usage example 2 of the nori seaweed feeder 8 is as described above.

<< Operation >>
The delivery mechanism 11 and the like of the seaweed feeder 8 according to the present invention are configured as described above. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 etc., it operates as follows.
(1) In the delivery mechanism 11 at the lower part of the stock unit 9, stacked ridges A having a pattern close to a flat flat state in the illustrated example are stacked on the pair of left and right stock plates 12 in the holding posture D and held from below. (See FIG. 4 (1), FIG. 1).

(2) Then, when the stock board 12 is displaced from the holding attitude D to the open attitude E, the piled ridge A falls on the pair of left and right suction means 13 which takes the horizontal attitude F directly below and is held from below. (See (2) in FIG. 4 and (1) in FIG. 2). In the illustrated example, the upper surface, which is the suction surface of the suction means 13, corresponds to the pattern of the target piled ridge A, and is in the form of a flat plate.
In the illustrated example, only one lower ridge A 'of flat stacked ridges A is contact-suctioned in a planar and direct manner by the suction means 13 at the left and right ends.

(3) Then, the left and right suction means 13 are displaced to an inclined posture G lower than the conveyor of the delivery means 15 which takes a fixed position at the center.
Then, in the illustrated example, the lower side ridge A 'of one pile of ridge A sucked by the suction means 13 is largely drawn with the left and right end portions drawn downward from the flat state of the ridge. To bend.
That is, the lower part of the lower ridge A ′ located at the lowermost position of the piled ridge A is held high in the central part by the delivery means 15, while the left and right ends are left and right of the inclined posture G. Since contact suction is continued by the suction means 13, it is pulled and curved downward exactly precisely (see (3) in FIG. 4 and (2) in FIG. 2).

(4) Therefore, in the illustrated example, between the flat piled ridge A and the lower ridged ridge A 'which is sucked by the suction means 13 and whose left and right ends are greatly curved downward, A gap S is formed. The left and right stock plates 12 are inserted into the two gaps S by being displaced from the open posture E to the holding posture D.
Thus, the stock board 12 separates the piled ridge A from the lower ridged ridge A 'and holds the piled ridge A from below. The lower ridge A 'continues to be sucked by the suction means 13 from the lower side (see (4) in FIG. 4 and (2) in FIG. 2).

(5) After that, the suction means 13 on the left and right are displaced to a further inclined posture H. It is further displaced downward below the pair of left and right peeling means 14 taking the fixed position.
Therefore, the lower ridge A 'whose left and right ends have been sucked by the suction means 13 in the inclined posture G by the peeling means 14 while the suction means 13 is displaced to a further lower inclined posture H. It will be skimmed.
The lower ridge A ', which was previously separated from the accumulated ridge A, is thereby also separated from the suction means 13 and released from suction (FIG. 4 (5), FIG. 2 (3) See).
Incidentally, the lower side ridge A 'is similarly separated from the suction means 13 also by stopping the suction of the suction means 13 using the suction stop means instead of such a peeling means 14 or together with the peeling means 14. It can be opened.

  (6) In this way, a single lower side ridge A 'which has been curved and flattened by the suction means 13 is generally delivered to the conveyor of the delivery means 15 which has been holding the central portion. Therefore, it is sent to the supply conveyor unit 10 by the delivery means 15 (see (6) in FIG. 4 and (3) in FIG. 2).

  (7) The feeding mechanism 8 follows this operation step, so that the lower layer A 'of one sheet from the stacked ridge A of the stock section 9 is fed to the feeding conveyor section 10. (See Figure 3).

  (8) And lower side ridge A 'is supplied from the feed conveyor part 10 of the ridge supply machine 8 to a processing line. For example, the foreign matter inspection device 19 on the production line B and the printing device 26 on the processing line C are sequentially introduced (see (1) and (2) in FIG. 5).

(9) The seaweed feeder 8 is characterized in that a predetermined stock board 12, suction means 13, peeling means 14, suction stop means, delivery means 15 and the like are combined and used as the delivery mechanism 11. .
In particular, the suction means 13 is characterized in that the right and left end portions of the lower side ridge A 'are largely curved by adopting a contact suction method directly to the left and right end portions of the lower side ridge A'.
Thus, the operation steps of the delivery mechanism 11 can be reliably performed, such as accurate bending.

(10) Furthermore, the delivery mechanism 11 of the nori seaweed feeder 8 is simple in construction and easy to adjust.
About the action etc., it is as above.
