Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、例えば、茄子、胡瓜、柿、トマト、リンゴ、ミカン等の果菜物を段ボール紙や合成樹脂等により形成した箱体内部に箱詰めする作業に用いられる果菜物箱詰め装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、上述した果菜物を箱詰めする装置としては、例えば、等階級別に選別された適宜数の各果菜物に各吸着パッドを夫々密着して、各吸着パッドに接続した吸引用ブロワの負圧により吸着保持する。各吸着パッドにより吸着保持した各果菜物を箱詰め位置に供給された段ボール箱上方に移動させ、各吸着パッドにより吸着保持した各果菜物を段ボール箱内に敷設された包装袋に一括収納し、各吸着パッドに接続した吸引用ブロワの負圧を遮断又は停止して、適宜数の各果菜物を段ボール箱内に順次箱詰めする装置がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上述例のような胡瓜を箱詰めする場合、各吸着パッドで吸着保持した各胡瓜の表皮には多数の突起や皺が付いているので、各吸着パッドで吸着保持した各胡瓜と、段ボール箱内に敷設した包装袋とが互いに接触しても、包装袋と各胡瓜との接触部分に生じる面抵抗が小さく、適宜数の各胡瓜を箱詰めする作業が容易に行えるが、例えば、表皮が柔らかく、滑らかな茄子を箱詰めする場合、茄子自体の特性により、段ボール箱内に敷設した包装袋と、各吸着パッドで吸着保持した各茄子とが密着しやすく、包装袋と各茄子との接触部分に生じる面抵抗が各吸着パッドの吸着力よりも大きくなるため、箱詰め作業が円滑に行えない。且つ、その接触抵抗に抗して適宜数の各茄子を強引に箱詰めしようとすると、各吸着パッドから一部の各茄子が脱落したり、各茄子の吸着姿勢が変位したりするので、適宜数の各茄子を整列した状態のまま箱詰めすることが困難であるという問題点を有している。
【0004】
この発明は上記問題に鑑み、上面開放形態に形成した箱体と各果菜物との対向面に液体を吹付けることにより、相互の接触部分に生じる面抵抗が小さくなり、適宜数の各果菜物を箱詰めする作業が確実且つ容易に行える果菜物箱詰め装置の提供を目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1記載の発明は、上面開放形態に形成した箱体を箱詰め位置に供給し、箱詰め手段により保持した適宜数の各果菜物を並列に整列して箱体内部に箱詰めする果菜物箱詰め装置であって、上記適宜数の各果菜物を箱詰めするときに、上記箱体と果菜物との対向面に対して液体を吹付ける液吹付け手段を設け、上記箱体と各果菜物との接触部分に生じる摩擦係数を小さくする果菜物箱詰め装置であることを特徴とする。
【0006】
請求項2記載の発明は、上記請求項1記載の構成と併せて、上記箱詰め位置に、上記果菜物と対接する箱体の内周面に対して液体を吹付ける液吹付け手段を設けた果菜物箱詰め装置であることを特徴とする。
【0007】
請求項3記載の発明は、上記請求項1記載の構成と併せて、上記箱詰め位置に、上記箱体と対接する果菜物の外周面に対して液体を吹付ける液吹付け手段を設けた果菜物箱詰め装置であることを特徴とする。
【0008】
請求項4記載の発明は、上記請求項1記載の構成と併せて、上記箱詰め位置前段に、上記箱体の内周面に対して液体を吹付ける液吹付け手段を設けた果菜物箱詰め装置であることを特徴とする。
【0009】
【作用】
請求項1記載の果菜物箱詰め装置は、液吹付け手段を駆動して、箱詰め位置に供給した箱体と、箱詰め手段により保持した各果菜物との対向面に、例えば、水道水、蒸溜水、植物油、アルコール等の液体を吹付け、箱体と各果菜物との接触部分に液体の薄膜を形成する。続いて、箱詰め手段により保持した適宜数の各果菜物を箱体内部に箱詰めすることで、箱体と各果菜物との接触部分に生じる摩擦係数が小さくなり、相互の対接移動が滑らかとなるため、適宜数の各果菜物を並列に整列した状態のまま箱詰めすることができる。
【0010】
請求項2記載の果菜物箱詰め装置は、上記請求項1記載の作用と併せて、液吹付け手段を駆動して、箱詰め位置に供給した箱体の内周面に液体を吹付けてから、箱詰め手段により保持した各果菜物を箱体内部に箱詰めすることで、箱体と各果菜物との接触抵抗が小さくなり、箱詰め作業が容易に行える。
【0011】
請求項3記載の果菜物箱詰め装置は、上記請求項1記載の作用と併せて、液吹付け手段を駆動して、箱詰め手段により保持した各果菜物の外周面に液体を吹付けてから箱体内部に箱詰めすることで、箱体と各果菜物との接触抵抗が小さくなり、箱詰め作業が容易に行える。
【0012】
請求項4記載の果菜物箱詰め装置は、上記請求項1記載の作用と併せて、液吹付け手段を駆動して、上面開放形態に形成した箱体の内周面に液体を吹付けてから箱詰め位置に供給し、箱詰め手段により保持した各果菜物を箱体内部に箱詰めすることで、液吹付け作業と箱詰め作業とが連続して行えると共に、箱体と各果菜物との接触抵抗が小さくなり、箱詰め作業が容易に行える。
【0013】
【発明の効果】
この発明によれば、上面開放形態に形成した箱体と各果菜物との対向面に、例えば、水道水、蒸溜水、植物油、アルコール等の液体を吹付けてから箱詰めするので、箱体と各果菜物との接触部分に生じる摩擦係数が小さくなり、相互の対接移動が滑らかとなるため、適宜数の各果菜物を箱詰めする作業が円滑に行える。且つ、箱詰め時に於いて、箱体の内周面と各果菜物の外周面とが互いに接触しても、相互の接触部分に生じる面抵抗が箱詰め手段の保持力よりも小さいので、従来例のように各吸着パッドから各茄子が脱落したり、各茄子の吸着姿勢が変位したりせず、適宜数の各果菜物を並列に整列した状態のまま箱詰めすることができ、箱詰め作業が確実且つ容易に行える。
【0014】
【実施例】
図面は箱体の一例として合成樹脂製の包装袋を敷設した段ボール箱内に多数本の各茄子を箱詰めする作業に用いられる第1実施例の果菜物箱詰め装置を示し、図1、図2、図3に於いて、この果菜物箱詰め装置1は、周回用コンベア2上に設定した投入位置から吸着位置に多数台の各整列用トレイT…を周回移動し、等階級別に選別した多数本の各茄子A…を投入位置に移動される各整列用トレイT…に順次載置して、適宜数(例えば、18本)の各茄子A…が載置された各整列用トレイT…を吸着位置に移動する。同位置上部に配設した箱詰め機3を駆動して、各整列用トレイT…に載置された各茄子A…を吸着保持して箱詰め位置に移動し、同位置下部に配設した箱昇降機4を駆動して段ボール箱Bを垂直方向に持上げ、同位置中段部に配設した液吹付け機5と箱開放機6とを順次駆動して、段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内面全体に液体Rを吹付け、同段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…を外側に開放した後、箱詰め機3により吸着保持した各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内の包装袋Pに順次収納して箱詰めする。
【0015】
且つ、製函工程(図示省略)から供給される多数個の各段ボール箱B…を箱搬入用コンベア8上の袋敷設機7に搬送供給し、同段ボール箱B内に合成樹脂製の包装袋Pを敷設して箱昇降機4に順次供給する。一方、適宜数の各茄子A…が箱詰めされた段ボール箱Bを箱搬出用コンベア9により封函工程(図示省略)に搬送供給する。
【0016】
上述の箱詰め機3は、周回用コンベア2上に設定した吸着位置上方と、同位置側部に設定した箱詰め位置上方との間に各ガイドレール10,10を架設し、箱詰め位置上部に配設した移動用シリンダ11を、各ガイドレール10,10間に取付けた移動枠12に連結して、同移動用シリンダ11の作動により、吸着位置上方と箱詰め位置上方とに移動枠12全体を水平移動する。且つ、移動枠12上部に配設した昇降用シリンダ13を昇降枠14の上面側に連結して、同昇降用シリンダの作動により、吸着位置直上と箱詰め位置直上とで昇降枠14全体を垂直昇降する。
【0017】
且つ、上述した昇降枠14には、周回用コンベア2上の吸着位置に移動停止された2台の各整列用トレイT,Tと対向する前後位置であって、同各整列用トレイT,Tに載置された各茄子A…の上部周面と対向して、例えば、ウレタンゴム、スポンジゴム等の弾性体により形成した各吸着パッド15…を垂設すると共に、各整列用トレイT,Tに載置された18本の各茄子A…を吸着保持する離間位置と、同各茄子A…を箱詰め状態に集合する集合位置とに各吸着パッド15…を拡縮移動可能に設けている。つまり、周回用コンベア2上の吸着位置に2台の各整列用トレイT,Tを移動停止したとき、同各整列用トレイT,Tに載置された各茄子A…の上部周面に各吸着パッド15…を夫々密着して、同各吸着パッド15…に接続した吸引用ブロワ(図示省略)の負圧により18本分の各茄子A…を吸着保持する。一方、各吸着パッド15…で吸着保持した18本分の各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内の包装袋Pに一括収納したとき、吸引用ブロワ(図示省略)による負圧を遮断又は停止して各茄子A…の吸着保持を解除する。
【0018】
前述の箱昇降機4は、箱詰め位置下部に配設した昇降台16の下部中央にナット部17を固定し、同位置下部に垂直軸受したネジ軸18上にナット部17を螺合して、下部一側に配設した減速機付き昇降用モータ19の駆動力により、各スプロケット20,21及び駆動チェーン22を介してネジ軸18を正逆回転させ、後述する箱搬入用コンベア8及び箱搬出用コンベア9に対して水平となる降下位置と、後述する箱開放機6により段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…が開放される上昇位置とに昇降台16を垂直昇降する。
【0019】
前述の液吹付け機5は、図3、図4に示すように、後述する箱開放機6の下段側であって、箱詰め位置下部に供給された段ボール箱Bの左右フラップBa,Baと対向する上方両側位置に各液噴射ノズル23,23を配設し、同各液噴射ノズル23,23の液噴射方向を段ボール箱Bの収納空間と対向する方向及び角度に設定すると共に、同位置両側部に配設した各進退用シリンダ24,24のピストンロッドを各液噴射ノズル23,23に連結して、同各進退用シリンダ24,24の作動により、段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内周面と対向する前進位置と、上述した箱昇降機4の昇降動作及び後述する箱開放機6の開放動作が許容される待機位置とに各液噴射ノズル23,23を進退移動する。
【0020】
且つ、下部一側に配設した貯液タンク25に、例えば、水道水、蒸留水、植物油、揮発性のアルコール等の食品衛生法に於いて安全であると指定された液体Rを所定量貯液して、上述した各液噴射ノズル23,23と貯液タンク25とを、各電磁バルブ26,26及び噴射用ポンプ27を介して液供給管28で接続している。つまり、上述した箱詰め機3の各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内の包装袋Pに収納する直前、或いは、後述する箱開放機6の各開放板29…により段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…を開放する直前に於いて、各電磁バルブ26,26を開作動し、噴射用ポンプ27を駆動して、貯液タンク25に貯液された液体Rを各液噴射ノズル23,23に夫々供給し、段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内面全体或いは各吸着パッド15…により保持した各茄子A…の外面全体に対して各液噴射ノズル23,23から吐出される液体Rを均等に吹付ける。
【0021】
前述の箱開放機6は、上述した液吹付け機5の上段側であって、箱詰め位置下部に供給された段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…と対向する上方前後位置及び上方左右位置に各開放板29…を上下開閉可能に軸支し、同各開放板29…の軸端部を傘歯車機構(図示省略)を介して動力伝達可能に連結すると共に、同位置側部に配設した開閉用シリンダ30を開放板29の軸端部に連結して、同開閉用シリンダ30の作動により、箱詰め位置下部に供給された段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…と対向する閉位置と、同段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…を適宜角度に開放する開位置とに各開放板29…を連動して上下開閉する。
【0022】
且つ、箱詰め位置下部に配設した箱昇降機4の箱搬入側に箱搬入用コンベア8を配設し、同箱搬入用コンベア8上に合成樹脂製の包装袋Pを敷設するための袋敷設機7を配設している。つまり、製函工程(図示省略)から供給される上面開放形態の各段ボール箱B…を袋敷設機7に順次供給し、同機に供給される段ボール箱B内に、例えば、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリエチレン、ナイロン等の合成樹脂で形成した包装袋Pを上向きに開口して敷設すると共に、同段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…に包装袋Pの投入口Paをダブル折り又はシングル折りして被覆する。一方、箱詰め位置下部に配設した箱昇降機4の箱搬出側に箱搬出用コンベア9を配設し、適宜数の各茄子A…が箱詰めされた段ボール箱Bを箱搬出用コンベア9により封函工程(図示省略)に搬送供給する。
【0023】
図示実施例は上記の如く構成するものにして、以下、果菜物箱詰め装置1により多数本の各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内に箱詰めするときの動作を説明する。
先ず、図1、図2に示すように、周回用コンベア2上に設定した投入位置に多数台の各整列用トレイT…を移動して、等階級別に選別された多数本の各茄子A…を同一方向に向きを揃えて各整列用トレイT…に順次載置する。周回用コンベア2に設定した吸着位置に各整列用トレイT…を移動して、例えば、18本の各茄子A…が載置された2台の各整列用トレイT,Tを移動停止した後、箱詰め機3を駆動して、各整列用トレイT,Tに載置された18本の各茄子A…を各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持し、同各吸着パッド15…で吸着保持した各茄子A…を箱詰め状態に集合しながら箱詰め位置に移動する。同時に、周回用コンベア2上に設定した投入位置に空の各整列用トレイT…を回帰移動する。
【0024】
次に、製函工程(図示省略)から供給される各段ボール箱B…を箱搬入用コンベア8上の袋敷設機7に順次供給し、同各段ボール箱B…に合成樹脂製の各包装袋P…を1枚ずつ敷設して箱昇降機4の昇降台16に移載する。図3、図4に示すように、箱昇降機4の昇降台16を垂直上昇させ、同昇降台16上に載置された空の段ボール箱Bを箱詰め位置に供給すると共に、箱開放機6の各開放板29…により段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…を開放する直前に、液吹付け機5の各進退用シリンダ24,24を前進作動して、箱詰め位置下部に供給された段ボール箱Bの収納空間と対向する前進位置に各液噴射ノズル23,23を移動する。各電磁バルブ26,26を開作動し、噴射用ポンプ27を駆動して、貯液タンク25に貯液された液体Rを各液噴射ノズル23,23に夫々供給し、各液噴射ノズル23,23から吐出される液体Rを段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内面全体に対して均等に吹付ける。或いは、各液噴射ノズル23,23から吐出される液体Rを各吸着パッド15…により保持した各茄子A…の外面全体に対して均等に吹付けてもよい。
【0025】
次に、各電磁バルブ26,26を閉作動し、各進退用シリンダ24,24を後退作動して、箱昇降機4の昇降動作及び箱開放機6の開放動作が許容される位置に各液噴射ノズル23,23を後退した後、箱開放機6の各開放板29…を開回動して、昇降台16上に載置された段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…を四方に開放する。各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内の包装袋Pに一括収納し、各吸着パッド15…による吸着保持を解除することで、1段分の各茄子A…の箱詰め作業が完了する。つまり、図5に示すように、段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内面全体或いは各吸着パッド15…により保持した各茄子A…の外面全体に液体Rを吹付けて、包装袋Pと各茄子A…との接触部分に液体Rの薄膜を形成するので、包装袋Pと各茄子A…との接触部分に生じる摩擦係数が小さくなり、相互の対接移動が滑らかとなる。且つ、包装袋Pと各茄子A…との接触部分に生じる面抵抗が各吸着パッド15…の吸着力よりも小さく、各吸着パット15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を並列に整列した状態のまま箱詰めできる。
【0026】
以下同様に、周回用コンベア2上に設定した吸着位置に後続の各整列用トレイT,Tを移動し、各整列用トレイT,Tに載置された18本の各茄子A…を各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持して段ボール箱B内の包装袋Pに順次収納して箱詰めする。一つの段ボール箱Bに対して適宜数の各茄子A…を箱詰めした後、箱開放機6の各開放板29…を閉回動させ、箱昇降機4の昇降台16を垂直降下させ、同昇降台16に載置された箱詰め済の段ボール箱Bを箱搬出用コンベア9に載置して封函工程(図示省略)に搬送供給する。同時に、箱搬入用コンベア8に載置された次の段ボール箱Bを箱昇降機4の昇降台16に移載して、上述した箱詰め作業を継続して行う。
【0027】
以上のように、液吹付け機5の各液噴射ノズル23,23から吐出される液体Rを段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内面全体又は各吸着パッド15…により保持した各茄子A…の外面全体に吹付け、箱詰め機3の各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内の包装袋Pに順次収納するので、段ボール箱B内に敷設した合成樹脂製の包装袋Pと各茄子A…との接触部分に生じる摩擦係数が小さくなり、相互の対接移動が滑らかとなるため、各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を箱詰めする作業が円滑に行える。且つ、箱詰め時に於いて、段ボール箱B内に敷設した合成樹脂製の包装袋Pと各茄子A…とが互いに接触しても、相互の接触部分に生じる面抵抗が各吸着パッド15…の吸着力よりも小さいので、従来例のように各吸着パッド15…から各茄子A…が脱落したり、各茄子A…の吸着姿勢が変位したりせず、各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を並列に整列した状態のまま箱詰めすることができ、箱詰め作業が確実且つ容易に行える。
【0028】
図6は合成樹脂により被覆した段ボール箱Bの内面全体に液体Rを均等に吹付ける第2実施例の液吹付け機5を示し、上面開放形態に製函された段ボール箱Bの内面全体を、例えば、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリエチレン、ナイロン、フッ素樹脂、シリコン樹脂等の合成樹脂膜Dにより被覆して、液吹付け機5の各液噴射ノズル23,23から吐出される液体Rを段ボール箱B内に被覆した合成樹脂膜Dの内面全体に対して均等に吹付け、各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内に一括収納するので、第1実施例と同様に、段ボール箱B内に被覆した合成樹脂膜Dと各茄子A…との接触部分に生じる面抵抗が小さくなり、各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を並列に整列した状態のまま箱詰めすることができる。
【0029】
図7は合成樹脂により一体成形した運搬用コンテナCの内面全体に液体Rを均等に吹付ける第3実施例の液吹付け機5を示し、例えば、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリエチレン等の合成樹脂により運搬用コンテナCを形成して、箱詰め機3の各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を運搬用ケースC内に一括収納する直前に於いて、液吹付け機5の各液噴射ノズル23,23から吐出される液体Rを運搬用コンテナCの内面全体に対して均等に吹付け、各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を運搬用コンテナC内に一括収納するので、第1実施例と同様に、運搬用コンテナCと各茄子A…との接触部分に生じる面抵抗が小さくなり、各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を並列に整列した状態のまま箱詰めすることができる。
【0030】
図8は合成樹脂製の包装袋Pを段ボール箱B内に敷設した直後、同段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内面全体に対して液体Rを均等に吹付ける第4実施例の液吹付け機5を示し、ロール状に巻回された包装フィルム(図示省略)を適宜大きさに分離形成又は予め適宜大きさに形成した包装袋Pの投入口Paを袋敷設機7の各袋保持爪7a…により保持し、各袋保持爪7a…により保持した状態のまま包装袋Pを段ボール箱B内に敷設すると共に、同各袋保持爪7a…で保持した包装袋Pの投入口Paをダブル折り又はシングル折りして段ボール箱Bの各フラップBa…に被覆する。この直後、液吹付け機5の各液噴射ノズル23,23から吐出される液体Rを段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pの内面全体に対して均等に吹付け、箱詰め機3の各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を段ボール箱B内の包装袋Pに順次収納して箱詰めするので、第1実施例と同様に、段ボール箱B内に敷設した包装袋Pと各茄子A…との接触部分に生じる面抵抗が小さくなり、各吸着パッド15…により吸着保持した18本の各茄子A…を並列に整列した状態のまま箱詰めすることができる。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a fruit and vegetable boxing device used for boxing fruits and vegetables such as eggplant, pepper, persimmon, tomato, apple and mandarin in a box formed of corrugated paper or synthetic resin.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a device for boxing the above-mentioned fruit vegetables, for example, by adhering each suction pad to an appropriate number of each vegetable selected by equal class, and by the negative pressure of the suction blower connected to each suction pad Hold by adsorption. Each vegetable vegetable adsorbed and held by each adsorption pad is moved above the cardboard box supplied to the boxing position, each vegetable vegetable adsorbed and held by each adsorption pad is collectively stored in a packaging bag laid in the cardboard box, and each There is a device that blocks or stops the negative pressure of the suction blower connected to the suction pad, and sequentially packs an appropriate number of each vegetable product in a cardboard box.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when boxing the pepper as in the above example, the surface of each pepper adsorbed and held by each adsorption pad has many protrusions and wrinkles, so each pepper adsorbed and held by each adsorption pad and the cardboard box Even if the packaging bags laid inside each other come into contact with each other, the surface resistance generated at the contact portion between the packaging bag and each pepper is small, and the work of packaging an appropriate number of each pepper can be easily carried out. When packing smooth insulators, due to the characteristics of the insulator itself, the packaging bag laid in the cardboard box and each insulator sucked and held by each suction pad are likely to be in close contact with each other at the contact portion between the packaging bag and each insulator. Since the generated sheet resistance is larger than the suction force of each suction pad, the boxing operation cannot be performed smoothly. In addition, if an attempt is made to forcibly pack an appropriate number of insulators against the contact resistance, some of the insulators may fall off from each suction pad, or the suction posture of each insulator may be displaced.
