Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is intended to move a case containing rice cake, remove the case, raise the rice cake, and move the rice cake so that it is mounted on the rotary shaft of a cutting machine. mochi about cutting quasi 備装 location.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a device has been proposed in which a round rice cake is taken out from a rice cake-containing case and attached to a cutting device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-40297).

[0003]

The conventional round rice cake cutting preparation device depends on human power partially or uses a conveyor to move the round rice cake, so that the whole line becomes long or the round rice cake is rounded. There was a problem such as having to slide along with the guide.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, according to the present invention, the center hole is used to move the round rice cake, and the mochi is intermittently moved without sliding along the guide without using a conveyor, and the case is removed. By removing it and mounting it on the rotary shaft for cutting, the above-mentioned conventional problems were solved.

According to the present invention, a case containing rice cake is attached to one side of the machine base.
Support frame, prime mover for rotating it, and its interlocking part
Installed reversing means consisting of material and sandwiching member when reversing,
Intermittently the case with rice cake to the bottom of the machine by connecting to the reversing means.
A moving means is provided, and a round rice cake is placed near the end of the intermittent moving means.
A case-removal device composed of a core stopper and a case lifting device.
Means are provided, and the mochi is started up on one side of the case removing means.
Combine the device with the device that translates it
Connecting the rice cake start-up attachment means,
It is a round rice cake cutting preparation device characterized by having a table,
Intermittent transfer means is equipped with a round mochi temporary stop rod on one side of the reciprocating platform.
It is configured by projecting and a round mochi core stopper projecting on the other side .

[0006] In the above, if the supply of the initial rice cake containing case to downward, does not require the inversion apparatus.

In each of the above devices, in order to shift from the previous operation to the next operation, a detection device (eg, photoelectric element, limit switch, etc.) is used, and each detection device is controlled by an automatic control device. Of course.

When supplying a case containing rice cakes to the apparatus of the present invention, supplying the case containing rice cakes upward or downward is the structure of a case stacking or moving device located exclusively in front of this apparatus. Depends on In other words, if the case is piled downward by the front device, the reversing device is not required unlike the invention of claim 4.

Next, if the intermittent movement distance of the rice cake containing case can be made relatively short, the core rod (movement direction restraint, vertical restraint) in the intermittent movement means becomes unnecessary, and the whole is further compacted. It

In this case, since it is not possible to wait for one round mochi just before the device for mounting the round mochi on the rotary shaft, it is necessary to make the cutting preparation speed faster than the cutting speed.

[0011]

The present invention reverses (or does not reverse) the case containing rice cake, removes the case, raises the round rice cake, and moves it sideways until it moves to the rotary shaft of the cutting machine. Since it is mounted, it can be prepared with high efficiency by a relatively compact device.

[0012]

Example 1 A core rod 4 is inserted into a screw tube 3 fixed to the center of a round rice cake 2 housed in a case 1 to fix the round rice cake 2 (advancing direction restraint), By moving 4, the rice cake 2 can be moved to a predetermined position. Then, move the core rod 4 to the removal position of the case 1 and fix the round rice cake 2 (fix the core rod 4).
Case 1 can be removed from. In this case, even if the case 1 is fixed and the round rice cake 2 is moved, the same result is obtained.

Next, the round rice cake 2 is raised and, if necessary, raised so that the center line 83 of the screw tube 3 in the central portion of the round rice cake 2 and the center line 84 of the rotary shaft 5 of the cutting device coincide with each other. After that, when the round rice cake 2 is translated, the screw tube 3 is attached to the rotary shaft 5 (hence the round rice cake 2).
Can be fixed.

For the intermittent movement of the round rice cake 2, a reciprocating device utilizing a fluid pressure cylinder and various other known devices can be adopted. The same applies to the movement of case 1.

[0015]

The base portion of the interlocking plate 16 is rotatably attached to the support shaft 12, and the projecting plate 15, the base portion of the air cylinder 17 to the free end side of the interlocking plate 16 and the tip of the rod 18 thereof are attached to the pin 1.
The base portion of the air cylinder 20 and the tip end of the rod 21 thereof are connected to each other between the intermediate portion of the interlocking plate 16 and a fixed portion such as a floor by pins 22 and 22a.

A driven shaft 23 is rotatably installed on the machine base 6 at a predetermined portion on the right side thereof in parallel with the base shaft 8 and the base of the sandwiching rod 24 is fixed to the driven shaft 23. The rack 25 is engaged with the pinion 29 fixed to the driven shaft 23, and the lower portion of the rack 25 is air cylinder 26.
It is connected to the rod 27 of No. 28, and 28 in the figure is a guide for the rack.

An elongated plate member 30 is slidable in the lower part of the machine base 6 on the right side (FIG. 1) of the driven shaft 23 to two guide rods 31, 31 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the machine base 6. The core rod 4 and the core stopper 32 are planted on the upper surface of the plate body 30 at a predetermined interval. This core stopper 32 is a stopper 3 that is opened and closed by raising and lowering a rod 34 of an air cylinder 33.
It starts from 5. The guide rod 31 has fixed plates 36, 36.
The plate body 30 is supported by an elevator rod 37, and the elevator rod 37 is raised and lowered by a rod 70 of an air cylinder 69 on the fixed plate 36.
Is horizontally moved by the air cylinders 38 and 41. On the other side of the machine base 6, there is a slide base 40 in the longitudinal direction.
Is installed on the sliding base 40 in parallel with the moving direction of the air cylinder 52 and the rod 5 between the machine base 6 and the sliding base 40.
5 is fixed, and a drive shaft 43 is installed on the edge of the slide base 40 and at a right angle to the moving direction.
The base of 4 is fixed. An air cylinder 45 is fixed to the lower part of the slide base 40 in parallel with the traveling direction, the end of the rod 42 is connected to one end of a link rod 47 by a pin 48, and the other end of the link rod 47 is connected to a drive shaft 43. It is fixed.

Vertical rollers 49, 50, 51, 51 for supporting the outer peripheral wall of the round rice cake 2 at four points are mounted on the upper surface of the undulating table 44, and the vertical rollers 49, 50 separate their axial centers from the rice cake side wall. Air cylinders 52 and 53 are provided for this purpose.

The operation will be described based on the above embodiment. The rice cake-containing case 1 is placed upward on the support frame 7 installed on the machine base 6. This placement is by a known machine (not shown). Then, when pressurized air is sent to the base end side of the air cylinder 20 and the rod 21 is pushed out in the direction of arrow 86, the interlocking plate 16 rotates about the support shaft 12 in the direction of arrow 55. Therefore, the projecting plate 15 rotates in the same direction by the air cylinder 17 and the rod 18, and along with this, the operating plate 13
Rotates in the direction of arrow 56. As the operating plate 13 rotates in the direction of the arrow 56, the sliding rod 11 moves in the direction of the arrow 57 along the long groove 14, so that the support frame 7 moves around the base shaft 8 in the direction of the arrow 58. Turn to. In this case, the case 1 is stably supported at a predetermined position by the arcuate frame 9 and is pressed and fixed by the pressing plates 10 and 10, so that the case 1 moves in a stable state. The pressing plates 10 and 10 support the case 1 with a predetermined pressure by pushing the rod 27 of the air cylinder 60 in the directions of arrows 59 and 59.

The case 1 is supported by the support frame 7 as described above.
When the rod 27 is pushed in the direction of the arrow 62 by pushing the pressurized air into the air cylinder 26 while rotating the, the rack 25 connected to the rod 27 moves in the same direction.
Since the driven shaft 23 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 63 and the clamping rod 24 is also rotated in the same direction via the pinion 29, the upper side of the case 1 is brought into contact therewith. Then, when pressurized air is press-fitted into the air cylinder 60, the rack 25 descends in the direction of arrow 64a, and accordingly the pinion 29 is rotated, and the driven shaft 23 is rotated in the direction of arrow 64.
In the above, the press-fitting position of the pressurized air into the air cylinder 17 (whether the tip side or the base end side) is adjusted, and the pins 19, 19a are adjusted.
Since the support frame 7 can be smoothly rotated by controlling the interval of, the amount and position of pressurization of the pressurized air to the air cylinder 20 are controlled so as to cooperate with this.

As described above, the rice cake-containing case 1 was transferred downward to the position indicated by the chain line A in FIG. This position is regulated by a stopper 65 fixed to the base of the sandwiching rod 24.

In the above, when the case 1 is moved onto the sandwiching rod 24 (the rotation angle of the support frame 7 may be detected by a limit switch or the like), the pressurized air is discharged from the air cylinders 60, 60, respectively. , The pressing plates 10 and 10 are respectively retracted (for example, by sending pressurized air or by spring pressure), the pressurizing position of the pressurized air to the air cylinders 20 and 17 is changed, and , The support frame 7 is rotated as shown by arrows 66 and 66a to return to the old position. In this way, the reverse transfer of Case 1 is completed.

Next, when pressurized air is added to the base of the air cylinder 69 and the rod 70 is pushed up as indicated by the arrow 67, the plate body 30 is pushed up in the direction indicated by the arrow 68 through the elevating rod 37. The core rod 4 enters the screw tube 3 of the round rice cake 2 in the case 1 to temporarily fix the round rice cake 2. Therefore, the air cylinder 38
When pressurized air is pressed into the base end of the rod 39, the rod 39 is pushed out in the direction of the arrow 71, so that the plate body 30 moves in the same direction via the fixing piece 72 fixed to the rod 39. When the rod 39 is fully extended, pressurizing air is pressed into the air cylinder 41, and the rod 42 is pushed out in the direction of arrow 74 to move the plate body 30 through the air cylinder 41.
Can be further moved in the direction of (Fig. 7). When the core rod 4 moves through the plate body 30 as described above, the case 1 and the round rice cake 2 also move in the same direction. When the round rice cake 2 reaches the position B in FIGS. 1 and 7, the pressurized air of the air cylinder 69 is removed, the core rod 4 is lowered through the plate body 30, and the engagement with the round rice cake 2 is cut off. After that, contrary to the above, the pressurized air from the air cylinders 38 and 41 is replaced to retract the rods 39 and 42,
The core rod 4 is returned to the old position via the plate body 30. Next, the pressurized air is again pressed into the air cylinder 69, the core stopper 32 is pushed out through the plate body 30 in the direction of the arrow 73, and then the pressurized air is pressed into the lower portion of the air cylinder 33 to press the rod 34. Is pushed in the direction of the arrow 71, the stopper 35 is expanded, and the round rice cake 2 is fixed via the screw tube 3 (FIG. 7). Then, pressurized air is press-fitted into the air cylinder 53, and the fixing plate 36 is pushed up via the elevating rod 88 (FIG. 1). Since the peripheral edge of the case 1 is in contact with the fixed plate 36, when the air cylinder 53 rises above the arrow 75, the case 1 also moves in the same direction, and finally the case 1 is detached from the round rice cake 2 ( Finish taking the case). Therefore, similarly to the above, the air cylinders 38, 4
When pressurizing air is pressed into 1 to push out the rods 39 and 42, and the rice cake 2 is moved in the direction of the arrow 85 through the plate 30, the rice cake 2 reaches the undulating table 44, Vertical roller 49,
It is stably supported by 50 and 51 (Fig. 1). Then, the pressurized air of the air cylinder 33 is removed, and the stopper 35 is contracted to release the fixation of the rice cake 2, and the rod 70 is lowered to move the core stopper from the screw tube 3 through the plate body 30. Pull out. Then, the pressurized air of the air cylinders 38 and 41 is replaced, and the plate body 30 is moved as shown by an arrow 74 to return the plate body 30 and the like to the old position (FIG. 7).

Next, when pressurized air is pressed into the tip end side of the air cylinder 52 in FIG. 9 and the rod 54 is retracted in the direction of arrow 78, the link rod 47 moves from the position shown by the chain line to the position shown by the solid line. As a result, the hoisting base 44 rotates and stands upright as shown by the arrow 70. In this case, since the round rice cake 2 is pressed and sandwiched by the vertical rollers 49, 50,
There is no danger of coming out of 4. Next, when pressurized air is press-fitted into the base end side of the air cylinder 53, the rod 55 is indicated by an arrow 79.
Since it is pushed out as shown in (FIG. 9), the slide base 40 moves in the direction of the arrow 79 through the protrusion 80 thereof. That is, the round rice cake 2 moves in the rising direction 81 as shown in FIG. 9 (shown by the chain line). Therefore, if the center line 84 of the rotary shaft 5 of the cutting machine is aligned with the extension of the center line 83 of the round rice cake 2, the rotary shaft 5 is inserted into the central hole of the screw tube 3 as the round rice cake 2 advances. (Fig. 1). Next, when the pressurized air from the air cylinders 52 and 45 is discharged and the pressurized air is added to the base end and the distal end, respectively, the rods 46 and 55 are pushed out or retracted, and the undulating base 44 is moved to the old position. Returning to, it means that the installation of Marumochi 2 has been completed.

The above embodiment is an example in which the core rod 4 and the core stopper 32 are arranged side by side on the plate body 30, but even if there is no rest once (a pool of the round rice cake 2) immediately before the undulating base 44. If good, the core rod 4 and the core stopper 32 can be used together.

Reference numerals 82 and 82 in the figure denote guide rods. However, since the vertical rollers 49, 50, 51, 51 freely rotate, there is no possibility that the round rice cake 2 will be hindered from being fitted even if the round rice cake 2 rotates when the round rice cake 2 is mounted.

[0028]

Effect of the Invention] This inventions is, inverting means of mochi containing case,
Since the intermittent moving means, the case removal means and the rice cake mounting means are combined, there is an effect that the rice cake containing case can be reversed and the case removed to automatically mount the round rice cake on the rotary shaft while the case containing the rice cake is moved straight forward.

However, since the devices are arranged in series, there is no need to use a conveyor or slide on the guide plate when moving the round rice cake, which is advantageous in hygiene and excellent in management convenience and equipment. There are various effects such as no breakdown.
