Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a conveyor, particularly a food laying conveyor used in a food factory or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in a food factory or the like, a conveyor as shown in FIG. 3 is used as a food laying conveyor, which is provided on both sides (an example in the drawing) or one side of a conveyor body 31 for transporting food containers. A table 36 on which foods 34 such as rice and prepared foods to be put on a food container 33 conveyed on a conveyor 32 is disposed at right angles to the conveyor body 31 and movably. is there.

[0003] Then, the worker A arranged to face each table 36 puts the food 34 placed on the table 36 on the food container 33 conveyed by such a conveyor.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, in such an assembling operation, a worker A standing substantially at a right angle to the side of the belt conveyor 32 moves to the food container 33 being transported on the belt conveyor 32 in the transport direction. The foodstuff 34 placed on the table 36 located at a right angle is to be transferred. Therefore, in order to confirm the food container 33 and the food material 34 during this transfer, the worker A has to rotate the head alternately in the horizontal direction within an angle range of approximately 90 degrees. Since the fatigue is great and there is a space between the conveyor body 31 and the table 36, the food 34 may drop onto the floor material from this space when transferring the food 34, and the table 36 The occupation of the side part causes problems such as hindering effective use of the workplace.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional food laying conveyor, to reduce the fatigue of workers, and to drop the food on the floor when transferring the food. An object of the present invention is to provide a food assembling conveyor in which the work space can be effectively used without causing the table to occupy the space on the side of the conveyor body.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the object as described above, the invention according to claim 1 is a food laying conveyor, wherein a side table is provided on a side frame of the conveyor body, and a side table is provided in a direction of conveyance of the conveyor. , The angle α is adjustable.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the angle α of the side table is ± 15 degrees left and right with respect to a center line at 45 degrees to the transport direction. It is characterized by having.

The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that, in the invention according to claim 1 or 2, the inclination angle β of the side table at an angle upward with respect to the horizontal plane is approximately 10 degrees. is there.

The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the position of the side table in the vertical direction can be adjusted.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the angle α of the side table 3 with respect to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 5 can be adjusted on the side frame 2 of the conveyor body 1, and the position in the vertical direction can be adjusted. Mounted on For this reason, the side table 3 is supported by a support member 4 which is detachably mounted on the side frame 2 at a predetermined interval along the transport direction. In this case, the angle α can be set arbitrarily as needed, but is preferably ± 15 degrees to the left and right with respect to the center line at 45 degrees to the transport direction.

The support member 4 has a vertical member 6 and a support plate 7 which extends upward from the upper part of the vertical member 6 at an angle β with respect to the horizontal direction and extends outward. The vertical member 6 is provided with a vertical hole, into which the screw rod 8 attached to the side frame 2 is fitted, and by loosening the nut 9 screwed into the screw rod 8, the vertical member 6 is released. Accordingly, the position is adjusted in the vertical direction, and the nut 9 is tightened and fixed. In this case, the angle β can be arbitrarily set as necessary, but it is preferable that the angle β is approximately 10 degrees upward with respect to the horizontal plane. Alternatively, a vertical hole may be provided in the side frame 2, and a screw rod 8 may be provided in the vertical member 6.

A through hole is provided in the support plate 7, and a screw rod 11 attached to the back surface of the side table 3 is fitted into the through hole, and a nut 12 is screwed into the screw rod 11. Then, by loosening the nut 12, the side table 3 is released, the angle α with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor is adjusted, and the nut 12 is tightened and fixed.

[0013] In the above-mentioned manner, before the food 14 on the side table 3 is put on the food container 13 on the belt conveyor 5, the worker A operates the nut 12 screwed on the screw rod 11. By adjusting the angle α of the side table 3 with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor, and by operating the nut 9 screwed to the threaded rod 8 attached to the side frame 2, By adjusting the position in the vertical direction, the position of the side table 3 can be adjusted to be suitable for the worker A by these adjustments, and the occurrence of fatigue can be suppressed. When the foodstuffs 14 are arranged, since the support plate 7 supporting the foodstuffs 14 faces downward toward the food container 13, the transfer operation becomes easy, and further, the outside of the conveyor body 1 is provided. Since a space is formed below the side table 3, the space can be effectively used as an article storage unit or the like.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] The invention is as described above, and the invention according to claim 1 is a conveyor for food laying, wherein a side table is provided on a side frame of the conveyor body, and a side table is provided in a conveying direction of the conveyor. On the other hand, the angle α is adjustable so that the angle α of the side table is ± 15 on the left and right with respect to the center line at 45 degrees to the transport direction. According to the invention of claim 3, the inclination β of the side table, which is an upward angle with respect to the horizontal plane, is almost 10 degrees, so that the fatigue of workers is small and the transfer of foodstuffs is small. There is little danger of food falling on the flooring material during loading, and the table does not occupy the space on the side of the conveyor body, so that the space in the workplace can be used effectively. .

According to the invention of claim 4, since the position of the side table in the vertical direction can be adjusted, the height of the side table can be set to an appropriate height according to the height of the worker. This has the effect.
