[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of an apparatus for cleaning and sorting root vegetables such as myogyo.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Root vegetables such as Myogyo and Rakkyo vary in size and size, so in order to improve the added value as a product, they must be uniform in size, that is, particle size. It is necessary to wash off adhering soil as a prerequisite for sorting and sorting the particle size.

Conventionally, as means for sorting root vegetables having this kind of irregular shape, two parallel chains of chains are arranged so that the side shapes are mountain-shaped, and a metal thin rod is appropriately selected between the attachments of both chains. The bridge is bridged through the mesh interval, and the chain is selected between the metal rods in the straight part.The roots of relatively small grains are sorted and collected at the joint interval, and the metal rod becomes large when the chain passes through the sprocket. Means have been adopted in which relatively large root crops are sorted and collected at the opening separation intervals, and large root crops that cannot be sorted at the two selection intervals are separately collected as they are.

[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, since the separation interval is constituted by a thin metal rod bridged in parallel, for example, the chain is sandwiched between thin metal rods which open greatly when passing through a sprocket. In addition, root vegetables that do not pass through the eyelashes are crushed by the thin metal rod when the chain moves to a straight line and the interval between the eyelashes narrows. In addition, if the thin metal rod is bent and deformed for some reason, the sorting interval will be uneven, although it is partial, and it will not be possible to perform an accurate sorting. Is required.

[0005] The object of the present invention is that the separation interval is constituted by yarn, that the selection means is a selection cylinder having a cylinder structure, and that the means for supplying root vegetables is provided inside the inclined upper end of the selection cylinder. The object of the present invention is to solve the problem of the prior art by connecting, eliminate the sorting and sorting of debris and root vegetables, and provide an apparatus which does not require any manpower for post-processing.

[0006]

According to the configuration of the present invention, which solves the problems of the prior art, a supply means for root vegetables such as myocarps having a washing means and a transport means is provided on one side of the machine frame. In the frame, the axis is aligned in the transport direction of the root vegetables, and the thread is stretched in parallel on the outer circumference to form a sorting eye, and the sorting eye is moved from the upper side of the transport to the lower side of the transport. A sorting cylinder having a plurality of enlarged sorting means is supported on a shaft in a downwardly inclined posture, and the supply means is connected to the inside of the inclined upper end of the sorting cylinder.

A thread receiving member 17 having a narrow width and a lateral U-shape or a U-shape is fixed to the outer peripheral surface at regular intervals. The width of the thread receiving member 17 determines a sorting eye interval to be described later. As is clear from FIG. 1, the opening of the thread receiving member 17 attached to the front end ring 14 is directed outward, whereas the opening of the thread receiving member 1 attached to the intermediate ring 15 is
The opening 7 is oriented in the opposite direction.

On the outer peripheral surfaces of the intermediate ring 15 and the rear ring 16, thread receiving members 18 wider than the width of the thread receiving member 17 are fixed at equal intervals. Determines the later-described sorting eye interval. As is apparent from FIG. 1, the opening of the thread receiving member 18 attached to the rear ring 16 is outward and the corresponding opening of the thread receiving member 18 attached to the intermediate ring 15 is in the opposite direction. Is aimed at.

A thread receiving member 17 provided on the front end ring 14, a corresponding thread receiving member 17 of the intermediate ring 15, and a thread receiving member 18 attached to the rear ring 16 are provided. Intermediate ring 15 corresponding to
As shown in FIG. 2, the thread receiving members 18 are arranged in a zigzag pattern when viewed in plan. And, between the yarn receiving members 17 and 17 and 18 and 18 facing each other, a yarn having a water resistance and a moderate elasticity with a twisted yarn structure made of a natural fiber or a synthetic fiber material. 19, 20
Are stretched in a meandering shape to form a plurality of sorts 21 and 22 of different sorts. Therefore, the intervals between the yarn receiving members 17 and 17 and between the yarn receiving members 18 and 18 are determined by the thickness of the yarns 19 and 20 used.
The selection marks 21 and 22 formed by the yarns 19 and 20 are set so as not to be uneven. The sorting cylinder 11 is configured as described above. The tensioning means for the yarns 19 and 20 can be individually tensioned one by one without forming a meandering shape, and therefore are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

The rotating shaft 12 of the sorting cylinder 11 constructed as described above is mounted on the machine frame 1 as shown in FIG. Then, the axis of the rotating shaft 12 is oriented in the direction in which the root conveyor is supplied by the discharge conveyor 5 and the chute 7, and the rotating shaft 12 is inclined with respect to the machine frame 1, that is, the sorting cylinder 11. Is tilted downward so that the front portion is at a higher position, and the inclined lower end of the chute 7 is interposed inside the inclined upper end of the sorting cylinder 11 so that the root vegetables are surely fed into the sorting cylinder 11. It was done. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 23 denotes a sorting partition member provided below the intermediate ring 15 constituting the sorting cylinder 11, reference numeral 24 denotes a sorting partition member provided below the rear ring 16, and reference numeral 25 denotes a sorting partition member provided below the rear ring 16. Is a pulley for transmission provided at the lower end of the inclination of the rotating shaft 12, and
Reference numeral 26 shown in FIG. 2 denotes a motor for driving the discharge conveyor 5. In addition, the inclination angle of the sorting cylinder 11 may be variable.

[0013]

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. The washing water is showered downward from the water sprinkling pipes 4 and 8, the discharge conveyor 5 is driven in the direction of the arrow by the motor 26, and the rotating shaft 12 is further driven to rotate the sorting cylinder 11 at a low speed. In this state, when a myogyo (or rakkyo) with soil is put into the hopper 6, the myogashi is washed in the hopper 6, and the soil flows down together with the water. The myogy in the hopper 6 is conveyed from the lower stage by the discharge conveyor 5 in the direction of the arrow, and is dropped and supplied to the inclined upper end of the chute 7 while being aligned by the regulating brush 10. The myogy supplied on the chute 7
The water flows down on the chute 7 while being washed by the shower from the water sprinkling pipe 8, and is supplied inside the inclined upper end of the sorting cylinder 11.

The myoga supplied to the inclined upper end of the sorting cylinder 11 rolls on a small portion of the sorting item 21 to remove contained debris and small-sized items not handled as commodities. 21 and is collected in the direction of the arrow. Further, the myoga sandwiched between the sorting items 21 falls by its own weight when it reaches the upper position with the rotation, and the sorting action is added again. Those who are not sorted by the sorting goal 21 are the sorting cylinder 1
Due to the rotation and inclination of 1, it is moved to the lower side, and reaches a large sorting point 22. Here, relatively small myoga which is treated as a product is collected, and large myoga which is not selected here is discharged and collected in the direction of the arrow from the inclined lower end of the selection cylinder 11.

[0015]

According to the configuration of the present invention as described above, the following effects can be obtained. (A) The root crops with soil put in the hopper are sequentially sent to the sorting means while being washed, and are sorted and collected into large and small particle sizes and wastes. (B) Particularly, the present invention In the above, a sorting cylinder is formed by stretching a thread parallel to the outer circumference, and a sorting cylinder pair having a plurality of sorting means with a larger sorting goal from the upper side of the transport to the lower side of the transport is tilted downward. Since the supply means is connected to the inside of the upper end of the slope, root vegetables are sorted while rolling down the sorting cylinder, and in the initial stage of sorting, mixed debris and the like are recovered, and then small and large grains are collected. Sorting and collecting can be performed accurately in order. Further, since the sorting is constituted by the yarn, even if the root vegetables are sandwiched between the yarns, it can drop by its own weight by the rotating action of the sorting cylinder and can be reliably selected. The yield can be improved without any pressure loss. In addition, since the yarn does not bend and deform, the sorting does not become non-uniform unlike the related art, and the sorting efficiency can be improved.
