2. Description of the Related Art At present, sorting machines using optical means such as a CCD camera have been widely used for judging the quality and class of bulky fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits and potatoes. With the development of cameras and personal computers, the quality and size can be determined instantaneously, and the performance has been further improved. In the case of such a sorting machine, it cannot be dealt with unless fruits and vegetables are supplied on the sorting conveyor so as to be arranged at equal intervals to some extent.

Here, at present, fruits and vegetables brought in using a vibrating device (so-called vibratory feeder) are sequentially aligned by vibration and aligned by a feeding operation (arranged in a line). A method has been widely used in which one row is separated by using a speed difference by a separate conveyor. However, in this method, the aligning and feeding function of the vibrating device differs depending on the weight and shape of the fruits and vegetables, it is difficult to adjust to obtain a proper interval, and the feeding is basically inefficient due to the vibrating feeding. In addition, this type of vibration device is provided with a vibration plate on which countless rubber projections (bristles) which are planted on the surface and a vibration mechanism with a spring incorporated below the vibration plate. configuration becomes extremely complicated, and the vibration plate, Sprint grayed itself is degraded by vibration, tend to cause damage, moreover, aligned feed function was assured that speed varies can not be maintained over a long period of time. Further, the problem with the vibration type is that noise countermeasures must be taken into consideration, and this makes the device troublesome.

As described above, the high-speed belt conveyor and the low-speed belt conveyor are arranged in a V-shape so that the V-shaped opening is directed upward, and the high-speed belt conveyor is kept horizontal at the leading end discharge section. To be in a vertical state and form a twisted transport path as a whole,
Even if the mass of fruits and vegetables supplied from the feed path side in the preceding step falls randomly into the V-shaped carry-in section and appropriately overlaps each other, both belt conveyors in the V-shaped arrangement are caused by the speed difference (high speed and low speed). As a result, the mass of fruits and vegetables in contact with the high-speed belt conveyor starts moving faster than the mass of fruits and vegetables in contact with the low-speed belt conveyor, while the mass of fruits and vegetables move sequentially through the torsional conveying path of a predetermined length as a whole. The clusters of fruits and vegetables gradually collapse, and the V-shaped opening is twisted so as to be inclined toward the leading-out side, so that the clusters of fruits and vegetables in contact with the low-speed side belt conveyor are erected and rotated to move horizontally to the high-speed side belt conveyor. Side, and are forced to line up. In addition, since the belt width is set to one belt in this horizontal part, if the bulk fruits and vegetables are sent in a state of being out of alignment and protruding laterally beyond the belt width, they will fall naturally from the belt edge. Then, only the clustered fruits and vegetables finally aligned in one row are fed to the next process side in front. The dropped (bounced) mass of fruits and vegetables is returned to the original supply path side by a separate detour below.

The roll 2 and the left and right collection guide plates 11 are carried into the base carry-in section 5 of the high-speed alignment supply device 9 while rolling. In this case, since the base carrying-in section 5 receives the high-speed belt conveyor 1 and the low-speed belt conveyor 4 in the V-shaped groove portions in which the high-speed belt conveyor 1 and the low-speed belt conveyor 4 are opened by 90 °, a large number of bulk fruits and vegetables A are carried in.

Here, the lump-shaped fruits and vegetables A carried into the base end loading section 5 of the V-groove are transported forward by the two belt conveyors 1 and 4, where the lump-like fruits and vegetables are directly in contact with one side of the high-speed belt conveyor 1. A moves faster than the bulky fruits and vegetables A in contact with the low-speed belt conveyor 4, so that
Even if there is a mass of fruits and vegetables A piled up in this way, the difference in speed of this conveyor will cause a difference in movement, which will cause the overlapping to collapse, and the V-shaped transport path itself will tilt forward (twist).
Since the V-shaped opening 6 is oriented in the horizontal direction, the bulk fruits and vegetables A in contact with the vertical portion 4a of the low-speed belt conveyor 4 are forcibly brought sequentially to the horizontal portion 1a of the high-speed belt conveyor 1, and the high-speed belt conveyor 1 side An interruption occurs between the bulk fruit and vegetable rows, and one row is inevitably aligned. In other words, since the masses of fruits and vegetables A are aligned with a speed difference and a transport twist while reaching the distal end unloading unit 7 from the proximal end unloading unit 5, they do not follow together in an overlapped state due to inertia. Then, the overlap of the clustered fruits and vegetables A is broken, and the overlapped clustered fruits and vegetables A are aligned and arranged in a row on the high-speed belt conveyor 1 in a horizontal state by the inclined torsional transfer of the V-shaped opening belt conveyor. In addition, the belt width of the belt conveyors 1 and 4 is as large as a single lump of fruits and vegetables A (a width of just over one), so that the belts are not aligned even when they reach the horizontal portion 1a of the high-speed belt conveyor 1. If there is a laterally protruding massive fruit or vegetable A on one side (opposite to the low-speed belt conveyor 4), the massive fruit or vegetable A protrudes from the belt edge 1c of the high-speed belt conveyor 1 and is discharged from this side edge as it moves. As a result, it naturally falls through the falling guide plate 14. From this point, reliable one-row feeding is also achieved.

As described above, the high-speed sorting and feeding apparatus for the mass of fruits and vegetables according to the present invention comprises two high-speed and low-speed belt conveyors having a V-shaped opening at the base end receiving portion and a high-speed at the leading end discharging portion. Since the side belt conveyor is in a horizontal state, the low-speed side belt conveyor is in a vertical state, and the V-shaped opening is a horizontal twisted conveyance path, the clusters of fruits and vegetables appropriately supplied to the base end loading section are stacked due to the speed difference of the belt conveyor. Even if there is any, it is broken down as it is sequentially transferred, and the position of one side is regulated by a vertical low-speed belt conveyor that is twisted and tilted sequentially, and it is inevitably automatically aligned with a horizontal high-speed belt conveyor. Moreover, since the high-speed belt conveyor has a width of approximately one lump of fruits and vegetables, if there is a non-aligned laterally projecting lump of fruits and vegetables, it falls from one side edge of the belt conveyor and inevitably becomes one-row arrangement. Become. Furthermore, the high-speed aligning and feeding device of the present invention employs a mechanical transfer mechanism using two high-speed and low-speed belt conveyors driven by a motor as a main body, so that it can move at a higher speed than a conventional vibration-type aligning and feeding device. Depending on the setting of the motor speed, a high speed of twice or three times can be easily obtained and the adjustment can be made freely. In addition, the simple structure in which high- and low-speed belt conveyors are arranged in a V-shape and tilted (twisted) by 45 ° over the entire length ensures stable high-speed alignment supply without any change in speed during long-term use, and maintenance. It has effects such as easiness.
