A dry noodle 105 having a predetermined length is placed on the belt of a belt conveyor 120 and is transported in the direction of arrow r in the figure. Then, it is cut into half lengths in the cutting machine 150. The dried noodles 106 that have been cut into half length are placed on the belt conveyors 111 and 112, respectively, and come out of the cutting machine 150. As is apparent from FIG. 11A, one end (the cutting machine 150 side) of both belt conveyors 111 and 112 is kept at the same height, but the other end (belt conveyor 130 side) is vertically overlapped. ing.
Further, as is clear from FIG. 11B, the traveling directions of the belt conveyors 111 and 112 are inclined by θ with respect to the traveling direction of the belt conveyor 120. Therefore, the relative inclination between the dry noodles 106 on the belt conveyor 111 and the dry noodles 106 on the belt conveyor 112 is 2θ.

The guide pieces 12 are arranged at alternate heights. Further, the upper surfaces 11a and 12a of the guide pieces 11 and 12 are inclined at about 40 to 45 degrees with respect to the vertical axis. Due to this inclination, the guide piece 11 guides the falling dry noodles N to the guide piece 12 side, and the guide piece 12 guides the falling dry noodles N to the guide piece 11 side. It should be noted that this inclination angle is preferably adjusted according to the weight of the dried noodles N. For example, when the dry noodles N are light, the inclination angle is made small to facilitate the fall, and when the dry noodles N are heavy, the inclination angle may be made large. The guide piece 11 arranged at the bottom has a slightly different shape from the others, and its tip is bent vertically downward. The tip portion 11b bent vertically downward is for guiding the dry noodles N falling from the outlet portion 3 in the direction of the arrow b in the figure, and the dry noodles N falling from the belt conveyor 31 are piped from the inlet portion 2 to the cylinder. Form 5
The inside of the guide piece 11 and the upper surface 11a of the guide piece 11 and the guide piece 12
The upper surface 12a and the upper surface 12a fall alternately while rolling. Therefore, even if the dried noodles N are slightly inclined during the fall, the guide piece 1
The posture is corrected horizontally while rolling on the upper surfaces 11a, 12a of the first and the second parts. Therefore, the falling posture is kept horizontal. Further, the dried noodles N do not rotate in the axial direction in the horizontal plane. Finally, the dried noodles N fall from the outlet portion 3 onto the belt 34 of the belt conveyor 32, but the axial direction of the dried noodles N on the belt 34 is perpendicular to the traveling direction on the belt 34. become.

As can be seen from FIG. 2B, the belt conveyor 31 is arranged on the right side of the entrance 2. Dried noodles N dropped from the belt conveyor 31
Enters the inside of the tubular body 5 through the inlet 2. In FIG. 2 (b), p1 to p7 indicate the positions of the dried noodles N during the fall. Dried noodle N that entered the inside of the tubular body 5 from the inlet portion 2
Causes the right end to collide with the inner wall surface of the side plate 21 at the position of p1. Then, it is flipped to the left in the figure. The dried noodle N further drops, passes through the position p2, collides the right end with the inner wall surface of the side plate 21 again at the position p3, and is rebounded in the left direction in the drawing. The dried noodle N flipped to the left is collided with the left end against the inner wall surface of the side plate 23 at the position of p4, and is flipped to the right in the figure.
The dried noodles N flipped to the right are hit to the left with the right end colliding with the inner wall surface of the side plate 21 at the position of p5. Further, while the dried noodles N are falling, the left end is made to collide with the inner wall surface of the side plate 23 at the position of p6, and the right end is collided with the inner wall surface of the side plate 22 at the position of p7, and the belt 3 of the belt conveyor 32 is discharged from the outlet portion 3.
4 fall on. In this way, the dried noodles N are transferred in the left direction in FIG. 2B, that is, in the axial direction of the dried noodles N, while falling inside the tubular body 5.

ベア３２の上に落下する。The dried noodles N based on the above-mentioned FIG. 2 (b)
As can be seen from the description of the falling state, the dried noodles N dropped from the belt conveyor 31 collide only with the inner wall surface of the inclined side plate 21 at the beginning, but when it falls near the lower end of the side plate 21, Not only the inner wall surface, but the side plate 23
It will also collide with the inner wall surface of the. Therefore, at least near the lower end of the side plate 21, the distance between the inner wall surface of the side plate 21 and the inner wall surface of the side plate 23 becomes smaller as the height position becomes lower. And the side plate 21
The distance between the two at the lower end is only slightly larger than the length of the dry noodles N. According to this structure, the dried noodle N loses momentum in the axial direction while repeatedly colliding with both inner wall surfaces. That is, the axial speed becomes smaller. Further, since the dried noodles N repeatedly collide with the inner wall surface of the side plate 22 and the inner wall surface of the side plate 23, the momentum in the axial direction is further lost, and the axial speed is reduced as much as possible, and then the dried noodles N are dropped vertically downward. And surely falls onto the belt conveyor 32.

It is preferable that the pitch is 1 or twice the pitch of the guide pieces 12. Further, it is preferable that the guide pieces 11 and 12 are continuously provided from the height corresponding to the side plate 21 to the height corresponding to the side plate 22.

The device is small because it is dropped and transferred in the axial direction. That is, in plan view, only the size of the entrance portion 2 occupies a space. Moreover, the dried noodles N can be reliably transferred in the axial direction.

In the figure, e indicates the size of the distance between the inclined surface and the facing surface at the lower end of the inclined surface. Also, from this figure, it can be seen that the distance between the inclined surface and the facing surface becomes smaller as the height position becomes lower.

The rod-shaped body axial transfer devices 41a and 41b are fixed to intermediate positions between the belt conveyors 31a and 31b and the belt conveyor 32 by columns, but the columns are not shown. The belt conveyor 31a is the axial transfer device 4 for rods.

できる。The rod-shaped axial transfer device 41a has substantially the same structure as the rod-shaped axial transfer device 1 of FIG. However, the inclination of the inclined side plate 45a (inclination with respect to the vertical axis) is slightly smaller than that of the rod-shaped body axial transfer device 1 of FIG. Further, the rod-shaped body axial transfer device 41b has a symmetrical structure with the rod-shaped body axial transfer device 41a. Therefore,
The tilted side plates 45a and 45b have the same tilt angle with respect to the vertical axis but different tilt directions. The axial transfer device 41a for the rod-shaped body is shown in FIG.
In (b), it is transferred to the left, and the rod-shaped body axial transfer device 41b transfers the dried noodles N to the right in FIG. 5 (b). Therefore, the dried noodles N transported in two rows by the belt conveyors 31a and 31b arranged side by side are aligned in one row on the belt conveyor 32 by passing through the rod-shaped aligning device 40.

That is, in plan view, the space is taken only by the size of the inlet portions 46a, 46b of the rod-shaped body axial transfer devices 41a, 41b. Moreover, the dried noodles N can be reliably aligned.
