Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device for removing a hanging rod for a string-like object that pulls out a hanging bar on which a string-like object such as raw noodle is hung.

(Prior Art) A string-like object such as raw noodles may be handled by hanging it on a hanging rod which is an elongated bar material.

Taking raw udon as an example, raw udon is first processed into a thin plate by rolling a dough containing 30 to 35% of water with a roller several times, and then the plate-like dough is cut into multiple grooves. After cutting it into a thin line with a picked roller, it is cut into an appropriate length. Each of the cut raw udon is hung on a slender hanging bar in order to separate it one by one, and is sent to the next step such as a step of drying or packaging while being hung on the hanging stick.

The hanging bar is pulled out in the next step, but this work currently depends on human labor. This is because a string-like object such as raw udon has no suitable mechanical method to press the entire hanging bar when pulling it out, and further pulling the hanging bar only pulls the noodles and it does not work. This is because mechanical processing could not be performed due to such reasons. Especially when the noodles are wet, such as raw noodles, it was difficult to mechanically remove the hanging stick.

On the other hand, recently, in order to make it easier for general consumers to use, it has been considered that the raw noodles are individually packaged in one or two meals, but in order to do this mechanically, the hanging bar is automatically added. You will need a device to remove it.

(Object and Structure of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to automatically pull out a hanging stick hung with a string-like object such as raw noodles from the string-like object. To do.

In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, a locking portion that locks both ends of a hanging rod on which a string-like object is hung and a stop wall that presses the movement of the string-like object when the hanging bar is pulled out from the string-like object. A movable body having the same, a slide rail on which the movable body is slidably attached substantially in the longitudinal direction of the hanging rod, and a conveying member for conveying the slide rail in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the hanging rod. A guide member for sliding the moving body in the length direction of the hanging rod by being conveyed while the moving body is in contact,
It is configured to have an end holding member that holds the end of the hanging bar on the side of the guide member and moves the end in substantially the same direction as the moving direction of the slide rail.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The drawings show an example in which the hanging rod removing device according to the present invention is applied to the packaging process of raw udon. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of the hanging rod removing device, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof.

In the figure, 1 is a hanging rod on which raw udon 2 is hung, 3 is a conveyor belt for carrying the hanging rod 1 by mounting both ends of the hanging rod 1,
4 is a bucket that receives 2 pieces of raw udon for each hanging stick, 5,6
Is a guide plate for guiding the hanging rod 1 to the bucket 4, and 7
Is a slide rail to which the bucket 4 is attached, 8 is a chain conveyor that supports both ends of the slide rail 7, and 9
Is a pulley on which the chain conveyor 8 is stretched, 10 is a rotary shaft on which the pulley 9 is fixed and rotates together with the pulley 9,
11 is a frame that supports the rotating shaft 10, 12 is a drive motor that rotates the rotating shaft 10 via a chain 13, and 14 is a bucket 4.
Is a bucket guide plate that regulates the traveling direction of the.

A plurality of buckets 4 and slide rails 7 are provided on the chain conveyor 8 at regular intervals. As shown in FIG. 3, the bucket 4 includes the left and right side plates 41, 42 and the rear plate 4
3 and the bottom plate 43, and the side plates 41, 42 are formed with notches 41a, 42a for locking the hanging rod 1. A block plate 42b made of resin is adhered to the inside of the side plate 42a so as to prevent the raw udon 2 from moving together when the hanging rod 1 is pulled out. The bucket 4 is attached so as to be slidable in the length direction of the slide rail 7 and not to be separated from the slide rail 7. The slide rail 7 is conveyed by the chain conveyor 8 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3, but the bucket 4 is regulated in the traveling direction by the bucket guide plate 14, so that the bucket 4 is eventually conveyed in the oblique direction indicated by arrow B in FIG. Will be done.

Reference numeral 15 is a conveyor belt driven by a drive motor (not shown) at the same speed and in the same rotation direction as the chain conveyor 8, and 16 is a holding plate urged downward by a spring 17, Is set to be smaller than the diameter of the hanging rod 1. Reference numeral 18 is a conveyor belt that conveys the hanging bar 1 that has been pulled out, and 19 is a drive motor that drives the conveyor belt 18. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 20 denotes a chute on which the raw udon 2 in the bucket 4 is dropped, and the raw udon 2 slides down on the chute 20 and is accommodated in the container 21.
22 is a conveyor belt for conveying the container 21.

When the raw udon 2 is hung on the hanging bar 1 and placed on the conveyor belt 3 in the previous step, the hanging bar 1 is guided by the guide plates 5 and 6 from the final end of the conveyor belt 3 and drops. Stick 1
Both ends of the bucket are locked by the notches 41a and 42a of the bucket 4 waiting at the vertical rising portion of the frame 11. Thereafter, the bucket 4 is conveyed by the chain conveyor 8, and when the bucket 4 moves to the horizontal portion of the frame 11, the side plate 42 of the bucket 4 contacts the bucket guide plate 14, so that the bucket 4 is pushed in the length direction of the slide rail 7. Then, it moves diagonally as shown by arrow B in FIG. On the other hand, the side plate 42 of the hanging rod 1
The end portion on the side is sandwiched by the holding plate 15 of the conveyor belt 15 and moves on the conveyor belt 15 while being pressed by the holding plate 16, so that the hanging rod 1 slides laterally together with the bucket 4 due to the frictional force of both. It is not possible, on the contrary, the hanging rod 1 is the bucket 4
Is gradually pulled out from. At this time, the raw udon 2 tries to move together with the hanging rod 1, but is stopped by the block plate 42b and remains on the bottom plate 44. Further, since the conveyor belt 15 rotates in the same direction as the chain conveyor 8, the hanging rod 1 moves while rotating, so that the hanging rod 1 can be smoothly removed from the raw udon 2. After the hanging rod 1 is completely extracted from the bucket 4, the hanging rod 1 is placed on the conveyor belt 18 and conveyed to be accommodated in a storage box (not shown).

The bucket 4 is turned upside down at the rightmost end of the chain conveyor 8 (see FIG. 2), turned upside down, and moves toward the vertical rising portion on the left side of the frame 11. At this time, the raw udon 2 in the bucket 4 is dropped onto the chute 20.
The raw udon 2 slides down on the chute 20 and is accommodated in the container 21, and the container 21 is conveyed by the conveyor belt 22. When the bucket 4 is turned upside down and moved, the bucket 4 comes into contact with a guide plate 23 (shown by a broken line in FIG. 1) provided on the back side and moves in the opposite direction by the amount moved laterally by the guide plate 14. It is pushed back to its original position and pressed again on the frame 11
Stand by at the vertical rising part of.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically remove the hanging bar, which conventionally relies on manual labor. In the above description, the present invention has been described by taking the packaging process of raw udon as an example, but the present invention is not limited to them, and can be applied to other as long as a string-like object is hung and processed. . Further, although the bucket guide plate 14 is formed in a linear shape in the embodiment, it may be formed in a curved shape. For example, the angle of the guide plate with respect to the traveling direction of the bucket 4 may be made small at first so that the hanging rod can be pulled out little by little, and in the latter half, the angle can be made large so that the hanging rod can be pulled out rapidly. Further, the shape of the guide plate may be corrugated so that the hanging bar may be removed stepwise.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the present invention, the movable body holds the one end of the hanging rod while the both ends of the hanging rod for hanging the string-like object are locked by the locking portion of the moving body. Since the hook is slid in the length direction of the hanging bar and is conveyed, the hanging bar can be automatically pulled out from the string-like object.
