[0004]

By the way, a raw noodle package 1 in which a plurality of individually packaged raw noodles m, for example, three meals, are packaged in an outer package P is provided in the outer bag P by a dropping action or the like in the packaging process. Since the raw noodles m are clogged and deformed in a loose taper shape that slightly expands toward the bag bottom side, such raw noodle packages 1 are placed and fed horizontally on the roller conveyor 3 and conveyed, First stopper S1 and second stopper S
When it is received by 2 and stopped to be conveyed, a plurality of raw noodle packages 1 are adjoined to each other by an inclined contact as shown in FIG. And the package 1 with this slanted adjacent stop
When the first suction unit 8 and the second suction unit 9 are sucked, the suction positions of the units 8 and 9 and the suction position of the packaging body 1 are displaced, and several packaging bodies 1 (inclination There is a problem that the package 1) on the latter stage side in the large conveying direction cannot be adsorbed.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to convey a plurality of raw noodle packages, which have been stopped in a state of adjacent slant contact to a stopper position of a roller conveyor, in a conveyor conveying direction. An object of the present invention is to provide a device for stopping conveyance of raw noodles packages, which is provided with a correction mechanism capable of correcting the orientation to a straight stop posture orthogonal to.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a device for stopping conveyance of a raw noodle package according to the present invention is a continuous noodle package in which a plurality of individually packaged raw noodles are packaged in an outer bag. A roller conveyor that is conveyed by a large number of rollers that are driven to rotate, and a stopper that stops the conveyance of a plurality of raw noodle packages conveyed by the roller conveyor in a state in which they are adjacent to each other under the adsorption unit of the automatic boxing device. In a region where the raw noodle packages of the roller conveyor are stopped to be conveyed in an adjacent state, the packages stopped being conveyed in an adjacent state of inclined contact are oriented in a straight stop posture orthogonal to the conveyor conveying direction. It is characterized by being equipped with a correction mechanism to correct it.

That is, in the region where the raw noodle packages of the roller conveyor are stopped to be conveyed in the adjacent state, the width between rollers is reduced by one less than the number of adjacent stops of the packages, and the width of the adjacent bottom of each package is increased. There is a pitch interval corresponding to.

A straightening roller for correcting the orientation of the package is horizontally arranged in the widening gap between the rollers, and each straightening roller is moved below the conveyor surface of the conveyor roller when the package is transported by the cylinder operation of the roller support frame. It is configured such that it is immersive and waiting, or a plurality of raw noodle packages are moved up to project onto the conveyor surface of the conveyor roller after being stopped in a state where they are adjacent to each other with inclined contact, and the straightening rollers are adjacent to each other. By ascending and advancing between the stopped packages at the position on the neck side of the packages, the orientation of the inclined adjacent packages is corrected to the direction orthogonal to the conveyor transport direction.

[0009]

According to the transport stop device having the above structure, a plurality of raw noodle packages, which have been stopped in a state of being in contact with the stopper position of the roller conveyor in a slanting contact state, are straightened in a direction orthogonal to the conveyor transport direction by the operation of the straightening mechanism. It is possible to correct the orientation to a different stop posture, and it is possible to solve the conventional problem that the package cannot be sucked due to the positional displacement of the suction unit and the adjacent stop package.
