Figure 1
The pulley 3b on the left side of the motor 2 is driven by a belt,
The input is made via a transmission mechanism such as a chain. 2a and 2b are pulleys and sprockets of these transmission mechanisms. The running direction of the belt 3c on the conveyor 3 is from right to left in FIGS. Further, in the illustrated example, two sets of the conveyors 3 are laid out for the frame 1, but it is a matter of design whether the number of the set of the conveyors 3 is one, two or more.

[0008] Above the running end of the belt conveyor 3, a sub-frame 4 erected on the basic frame 1 is provided.
The sub-frame 4 is provided with the following members. In the following description, the configuration for one set of belt conveyors 3 will be described. However, the same components for the other set of conveyors 3 are arranged around the sub-frame 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a stopper member attached to the sub-frame 4 so as to form an upright wall in a direction perpendicular to the running direction of the belt 3c on the conveyor 3. The lower end of this member 5 contacts the belt 3c of the belt conveyor 3. The burdock, which is provided so as not to be in contact with the burdock and is carried on the belt 3c of the conveyor 3, is prevented from moving here.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a cutting blade provided in a direction parallel to the stopper member 5 and separated from the stopper member 5 by an appropriate amount. The blade 6 is attached to the subframe 4 in a direction parallel to the stopper member. Only the upper and lower slides are held by the plate 6a and connected to the rod of the air cylinder 6b attached to the plate 6a, and the stroke of the air cylinder 6b reciprocates up and down on the conveyor. By being moved, the burdock cutting which is prevented from moving by the stopper member 5 is cut. A guide post 6c stands upright on the mounting plate 6a in parallel with the cylinder 6b, and guides the blade 6 up and down.

Accordingly, the distance between the stopper member 5 and the cutting blade 6 is the cutting length of the burdock to be cut. In order to change the length, the apparatus of the present invention uses the stopper member 5 and the blade 6
The distance between the mounting plates 6a can be changed.
The change of the interval is performed by changing the position of both or one of the stopper member 5 and the mounting plate 6a in the traveling direction of the conveyor 3.

The stopper member 5 and the mounting plate 6a are
In order to form the length of the both portions slightly larger than the running width of the belt conveyor 3 and cut the portion protruding from the running side of the conveyor 3 into a burdock shredded portion C,
A bottom plate 7 is formed at the protruding portions of these 5, 6a.

Reference numeral 8 denotes the stopper member 5 and the mounting plate 6a.
Is a block-shaped extruding member disposed in the staying portion of the cut burdock formed by the burdock. That is, the end surface of the member 8 is formed in the same front projection shape as the rectangular section formed by the stopper member 5, the mounting plate 6a, and the belt 3c of the conveyor 3, and the stopper member 5 and the mounting plate 6a is defined by the length of the gap (ie, the conveyor 3).
Of the burdock cut by the cutting blade 6 toward the outer end face of the shredded portion C of the burdock. Reference numeral 8a denotes an air cylinder provided in the advance / retreat direction of the pushing member 8, and a rod of the cylinder 8a is connected to the pushing member 8 via a connecting member 8b. Reference numeral 8c denotes a guide rod provided in parallel with the cylinder 8a, and guides the connecting member 8b to slide left and right.

On the outer end surface of the processing portion C, a comb-shaped blade plate 9a having a rectangular front side in which a comb blade 9 for cutting the burdock is mounted facing the processing portion C is provided. 3 so as to reciprocate in the traveling direction. 9b is a connecting rod having a tip connected to the comb blade plate 9a, 9c is a crank having a rear end connected to the rod 9b,
The rotation of the motor 2 is transmitted to the crank 9c via a pulley 9d and a belt 9e. 9f is a guide pulley for supporting the reciprocating motion of the comb tooth plate 9a up and down. Now, when the crank 9c rotates counterclockwise, the connecting rod 9b reciprocates in the running direction of the belt 3c, so that the comb blade plate 9a connected to the rod 9b.
Reciprocates, and the cut burdock pressed against the comb blade 9 by the pressing member 8 is cut by the reciprocating comb blade. Since the shredded burdock is discharged to the outer surface of the comb blade 9, a container (not shown) or the like is appropriately placed below the burdock to house the shredded burdock.

In the illustrated apparatus of the present invention, the constituent members of the burdock shredding means from the belt conveyor 3 to the comb blade 9 are provided in two rows in the basic frame 1 and the sub-frame 4, but the shredding means is provided. It is optional whether they are arranged in one row or two or more rows. The illustrated belt conveyor 3 is a belt 3c.
The belt 3c can be arbitrarily set as to what kind of member, for example, a chain or the like, is used to form the belt 3c.

Next, an example of shredding burdock by the above apparatus will be described together with the description of the operation timing of each component. When the apparatus of the present invention is started, the belt 3c and the comb blade 9 of the belt conveyor 3 continue to operate respectively until the apparatus is stopped. Now, when the peeled burdock G is placed on the belt conveyor 3 that has started running, the burdock G moves with the belt 3c of the conveyor 3 until the stopper member 5 stops its movement.

The burdock G whose movement is prevented by the stopper member 5 is stopped at the same position on the belt 3c of the traveling conveyor 3. At this time, the cutting blade 6 descends and cuts the burdock G. The length of the cut burdock is substantially the same as the distance between the stopper member 5 and the mounting plate 6a. Further, the blade 6 that has cut the burdock G stays at the cutting position for a while, and prevents the remaining portion of the burdock G from entering the stopper member 5 side.

The cut burdock G cut between the stopper member 5 and the mounting plate 6a of the blade 6 is cut into the shredded portion C by the push-out member 8 moving forward.
Pressed to. The burdock pressed against the processing part C has a comb blade 9 reciprocating on the outer end face of the processing part C.
It is shredded.

When the burdock pressed against the processing surface by the pushing member 8 is not cut by the reciprocating motion of the comb blade 9, the pushing member 8 retreats, and after this retreat, the cutting blade 6 located at the bottom dead center is retreated. Rises, and the remaining portion of the burdock G is conveyed to the traveling of the belt 3c of the conveyor 3 and advances until the stopper member 5 prevents its movement. Thereafter, the cutting blade 6 and the pushing member 8 operate intermittently in order in the same order as described above to cut one burdock one after another to a predetermined length, and cut each cut portion one after another. It is shredded.

[0020]

The apparatus of the present invention is as described above. Just by placing one burdock on a belt conveyor, the burdock is automatically cut to a predetermined size, and the cut burdock is automatically cut one after another. Since the shredder processing is performed, the burdock shredder processing, which has been conventionally performed by hand using a kitchen knife or a tool exclusively, can be completely automated.

Further, by automatically supplying the burdock to the conveyor and storing and carrying out the burdock that has been cut into pieces using a conveyor or the like, the burdock can be shredded by a consistent automatic flow operation. It is particularly useful in these shortages.
