Thus, as shown in the phantom line in the figure, the separation position is bent at a right angle to the second conveyor 4. When the bridge conveyor 5 is switched from the separation position to the bridge position, the conveyor frame 1 of the bridge conveyor 5
By turning the frame 16 upward by manual operation via an operation piece 33 provided on the bridge 6, the bridge conveyor 5 is held at a bridge position as shown by the solid line in FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 34 denotes a food skin material cutting and transferring device provided on the front side of the first conveyor 3, which is baked by the food skin material forming device X and separated from the outer peripheral surface of the drum b by the scooping plate c. While cutting the leading end portion of the food skin material 1 which is continuously fed in a hanging state, the transport direction of the cut food skin material 1 is changed so that the subsequent food skin material 1 is firstly cut. It is designed to be transferred to the conveyor 3. 3

When the food conveyor 1 is conveyed from the first conveyor 3 to the second conveyor 4 via the bridge 5 when the bridge conveyor 5 is at the separating position, the front end of the food skin 1 is closer to the drawing start position P. Required position, for example, second conveyor 4
This is a position detector composed of a photoelectric tube for confirming that it is present on the support frame 37 on the side of the carry-out end.

The food skin material cutting / transferring device 34 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The horizontal support rod 38 supporting the scooping plate c allows the upper end of the cutter mounting frame 39 to swing. The food skin guide plate 40 is integrally mounted on the front side of the horizontal support rod 38 by brackets 45 (see FIG. 3) attached to both ends of the support rod 38, and the guide plate 40 and the cutter are mounted. Between the frame 39 and the food skin material forming apparatus X, a passage 41 for the food skin material 1 which is fed down from the scooping plate c is formed, and a guide roller 46 is attached to the lower end of the food skin material guide plate 40. An upper cutter blade 42 is attached to a lower end of the cutter mounting frame 39, and a lower cutter blade 44 is attached to a horizontal support table 43 provided below the cutter upper blade 42.
As shown in FIG. 3, the base end of the operating rod 47 is pivotally attached to the bracket 45 by a hinge 50 so as to be able to swing outward (in a direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 3). Between the distal end of the operating rod 47 and the horizontal support 43, the operating rod 47 is engaged with a stopper 48 as shown in FIG. A coil spring 49 for holding is interposed.

Therefore, by locking the operating rod 47 to the stopper 48 as shown in FIG. 3 (A), the passage 41 of the food skin material 1 is held downward as shown in FIG. 2 (A). As a result, the food skin material 1 which is fed down from the scooping plate c hangs downward through the passage 41 as shown in the figure. Then, the operating rod 47 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
When the lock with the stopper 48 is released by pulling slightly outward from the state shown in FIG. 3, the operating rod 47 is pulled forward by the urging force of the coil spring 49 as shown in FIG. Through this, the cutter mounting frame 39 and the food skin material guide plate 40 swing forward around the horizontal support rod 38 so that the passage 41 faces obliquely forward.
At this time, the food skin material 1 being transported downward through the passage 41 is cut by the forward swing of the cutter mounting frame 39, and the food skin material 1 subsequent to the cut food skin material 1 is pushed forward. As a result, the subsequent food skin material 1 is changed in its transport direction to the forward direction, and is transferred onto the first conveyor 3. When changing the transport direction of the food skin material 1 from the above-mentioned forward direction to the downward direction again, the operation rod 47 is required.
3B is rotated rearward from the state shown in FIG. 3B to lock the stopper 48 as shown in FIG.

The above-mentioned food skin material cutting and transferring apparatus 34 is provided with a tip portion of the food skin material 1 which is baked by the drum b of the food skin material forming apparatus X and is fed downward (the fired food skin material 1). The tip has a curved shape and forms an irregular part such as an extremely thin thickness) in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction, and the finger d of the food skin forming apparatus X is used to cut the food skin. It is used to ensure that the front end of the product 1 can be grasped and to remove the irregular portion of the front end, and is used only at the initial stage of the food production process or when necessary.

Next, the operation of the apparatus for transporting the food skin material 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. First, the operating rod 47 of the food skin material cutting and transferring device 34 is moved as shown in FIG. Locked to the stopper 48, the passage 4 of the food skin 1
By holding the food skin material 1 downward, the food skin material 1 continuously fed in a hanging state while being peeled off from the outer peripheral surface of the drum by the scooping plate c of the food skin material forming apparatus X is shown in FIG. Is transported downward as shown in FIG. Then
By operating the operating rod 47 as shown in FIG. 3B, the food skin 1 being transported in the passage 41 is cut, and the food skin 1 subsequent to the cut food skin 1 is cut.
Is pushed forward, its transfer direction is changed forward, and is transferred onto the first conveyor 3. At this time,
The bridge conveyor 5 is held at a bridge position as shown by solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 4, and the bridge conveyor 5, the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 are driven in a predetermined transport direction, respectively. And

The food skin material cutting and transferring device 3 as described above
The food skin material 1 whose front end is cut at a right angle to the longitudinal direction and transferred onto the first conveyor 3 by the first conveyor 3, the first conveyor 3, the bridge conveyor 5, and the second conveyor 4 that are running and running.
Is conveyed continuously. Thus, the position detector 36
When it detects that the tip of the food skin material 1 is at a predetermined position (a predetermined position before the withdrawal start position P of the intermittent withdrawal device Y), the solenoid 32 shown in FIG. Then, the switching lever 27 is separated from the rotating shaft 17 side of the bridge conveyor 5 as shown by the imaginary line in the figure, the bridge conveyor 5 is switched from the bridge position to the separation position, and the reverse running prevention means 36 is simultaneously operated.

When the bridge conveyor 5 is bent downward as shown by the phantom line in FIGS. 1 and 4 and is switched to the cut-off position, the traveling drive of the second conveyor 4 together with the bridge conveyor 5 is stopped, whereby A series of food skin materials 1 from the first conveyor 3 to the second conveyor 4
Among them, the transport of the food skin 1 on the second conveyor 4 is stopped, but the transport of the food skin 1 on the first conveyor 3 is continued, so that the food skin 1 is transported by the first conveyor 3. The food skin material 1 forms a downwardly curved bending portion 51 between the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4. Almost simultaneously with the completion of the formation of the bending portion 51 having a certain length, the finger d of the intermittent withdrawal device Y that operates intermittently is, for example, shown in FIG.
(B), it instantaneously enters the pull-out start position P from the standby position, grips the leading end of the food skin material 1 stopped on the second conveyor 4, and instantly retreats. The forward / backward stroke L of the finger d is the same as the length of the bending portion 51, and when the finger d grips the tip of the food skin material 1 and retreats to the standby position by the stroke L,
The upper blade 52 of the cutter e descends and cuts the food skin material 1 with the lower blade 53. Therefore, the food skin material 1 is cut by the cutter e for each length L from which the finger d is pulled out, and forms a bent portion 51 corresponding to the length L.

While the bending portion 51 is formed, the second
The tip of the food skin material 1 on the conveyor 4 is the reverse running prevention means 35.
Is pressed onto the support frame 37 by the
Reverse movement of the food skin 1 on the conveyor 4 is prevented, so that the tip of the food skin 1 is held at the pull-out start position P, and the finger d reliably grips the tip of the food skin 1 Can be. As shown in FIG. 1, the reverse running prevention means 35 pivotally attaches a rod 55 to a support member 54 provided at a required height position, and attaches a pressing member 56 made of a sphere to the tip of the rod 55. There is something. Although not shown, when the rod 55 detects that the tip of the food skin 1 is at a predetermined position by the position detector 36,
In response to the detection signal, the holding member 5 moves downward from the position shown by the solid line in FIG.
6, the food skin material 1 is pressed. For driving the rod 55, for example, a solenoid is used.

Almost at the same time when the food skin material 1 finishes forming the bent portion 51 between the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 as described above, the food skin material 1 is fixed by the finger d for a certain length. When the second conveyor 4 is pulled out and cut by the cutter e, the traveling drive of the second conveyor 4 is stopped. Therefore, the first and second conveyors are conveyed by the subsequent food material 1 conveyed by the first conveyor 3. The bent portion 51 is formed again between the portions 3 and 4, and almost simultaneously with the completion of the formation of the bent portion 51, the drawing operation by the finger d and the cutting operation by the cutter e are performed. Thereafter, the same operation is repeatedly performed.

According to the food skin material transporting device 2 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the food skin material 1 continuously fed from the food skin material forming device X is pulled out by the intermittent drawer Y. The operation of transporting to the start position P can be performed mechanically with almost no need for manual operation. Therefore, such a transporting operation does not require a dedicated worker, and safety in operation can be ensured. Further, in this transport device 2, the bridge conveyor 5 is
Since it is configured so as to be at the separation position by being bent downward from the carry-in end side of the conveyor 4,
The switching operation from the bridge position to the separation position can be performed instantaneously. Also, in this transport device 2,
When the first conveyor 3 and the bridge conveyor 5 are both in a bridge position, each of the first conveyor 3 and the bridge conveyor 5 is driven by a common motor (driving means) M.
0 and the friction pulleys 26 and 24, so that only one motor (drive means) M is required, the drive system is simplified, and the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 are easily connected. Can be tuned. In addition, by bending the bridge conveyor 5 downward, the interlocking state between the first conveyor 3 and the bridge conveyor 5 can be easily and easily cut off via the friction pulleys 26 and 24.

Further, since the friction pulleys 24 and 26 are used as interlocking means for interlocking and connecting the bridge conveyor 5 and the first conveyor 3, the bridge position between the bridge conveyor 5 and the first conveyor 3 is separated from the separation position. , That is, when the bridge conveyor 5 is connected to the first conveyor 3 in an interlocking manner, the interlocking means can be connected to each other quickly and easily. Of course, a gear may be used instead of the friction pulleys 24 and 26 as the interlocking means. When this gear is used, there is no slippage between the interlocking means, so that the interlocking state of both is ensured.

Further, in the above-described conveying apparatus, when the first conveyor 3 and the bridge conveyor 5 are at the bridge position, the first conveyor 3 and the bridge conveyor 5 are interlocked via the interlocking means by the motor (drive means) M interposed therebetween. In addition, the interlocking state between the first conveyor 3 and the bridge conveyor 5 is cut off by bending the bridge conveyor 5 downward, but the first conveyor 3 is connected to, for example, the sprocket 6 on the loading end side. Is driven by a motor, and a friction pulley as an interlocking means is attached to the rotating shaft 9 of the unloading end side sprocket 7 of the first conveyor 3, and the friction pulley is connected to the bridge conveyor 5.
The bridge conveyor 5 may be bridged to the first conveyor 3 by interlocking connection with the friction pulley 24 of the first conveyor 3 so that the motor (driving means) does not interfere with the operation, for example, the first conveyor 3 Can be installed in the lower part. Note that the first conveyor 3 and the bridge conveyor 5 may be driven by separate motors (drive units). In this case, the traveling speeds of the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 4 do not necessarily have to be the same, but may be substantially the same, or the second conveyor 4 may be slightly faster.

In the transfer device 2 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the bridge conveyor 5 is configured to be deflected downward from the loading end side of the second conveyor 4 so as to be at the separation position. As shown in FIG. 5, a loading end of a bridge conveyor 105 bridged by a first conveyor 103 is connected to a second conveyor 10.
4 may be moved to the separation position by being moved to the side of the bridge conveyor 105 and being absorbed by the second conveyor 104 side.

That is, referring to FIG. 5, the first conveyor 1
03 is the same as the bridge conveyor 5 of the previous embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, but the second conveyor 104 and the bridge conveyor 105 are different from the previous embodiment. This figure 5
Reference numeral 100 denotes a loading end side sprocket common to the second conveyor 104 and the bridge conveyor 105, which is configured to be able to move integrally with the intermediate sprocket 106 along the transport direction of the second conveyor 104, and 107 denotes a A sprocket 113 provided at a fixed position of the second conveyor 104, and a sprocket 113 on the discharge end side of the second conveyor 104,
These sprockets 100, 106, 107, and 113 have an endless transport belt 122 common to the bridge conveyor 105 and the second conveyor 104. Other configurations are the same as those of the previous embodiment shown in FIGS.

FIG. 5A shows a state in which the bridge conveyor 105 is at a bridge position with the first conveyor 3, and from this state, the carry-in end side sprocket 100 and the intermediate sprocket 106 are indicated by arrows in FIG. 2nd conveyor 1
The bridge conveyor 105 is moved in parallel to the side 04 and operated so that the transport band portion 122a of the bridge conveyor 105 is absorbed by the second conveyor, so that the bridge conveyor 105 is moved to the separation position as shown in FIG. Switch. According to the transport device of this embodiment, the carry-in end of the bridge conveyor 105 moves parallel to the second conveyor 104 side as described above, and the transport band portion 122 of the bridge conveyor 105 moves.
a is absorbed to the second conveyor 104 side, so that the disconnection position is established. Therefore, when the bridge conveyor 105 switches from the bridge position to the disconnection position, also switches from the disconnection position to the bridge position. Switching can be performed in a stable state without occasional occurrence of vibration or impact.

The bridge conveyor 105 shown in FIG.
(A), the first conveyor 103 and the second conveyor 104 are driven to convey the food skin material 1 forward from the first conveyor 103 to the second conveyor 104 when the food is in the bridge position as shown in FIG. When the skin material 1 reaches a predetermined position, the bridge conveyor 105 is switched to a cut-off position as shown in FIG. 4B to stop driving the second conveyor 104, so that the first and second conveyors 103, 104 are separated. Thus, a downwardly curved bending portion 51 can be formed in the food skin material 1.
