Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、ほうれん草や春菊等の野菜類をビニール袋等に挿入して袋詰めを行う野菜類の袋詰め装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
野菜類の袋詰め装置としては、例えば特開平６−１９１５０８号公報に記載された構成のものがある。その構成は、保持部を有する空袋を該保持部で多数枚吊り下げておき、ブロワーからの吹出空気で袋口を開口し、この開口部から野菜を袋中に挿入して、保持部を残して袋を切り離し袋詰めを行なうようになっている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記の野菜類の袋詰め装置は、保持部付の袋を使用しているため袋が高価なものとなり、袋詰めした野菜類の生産コストが高くなる。
このため、本発明では、保持部のない普通の袋を用いて袋詰め作業を容易に行なえる野菜類の袋詰め装置を具現することを課題とする。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
空袋２を多数枚重ねて収納し、上方が開口した袋容器１から最上部の空袋２を１枚ずつ取り出す袋取出機構３と該袋取出機構３で取り出した空袋２の袋口を開口する袋開口機構４を備えた野菜類の袋詰め装置において、先端部に空袋２外側面の左右両端に接着する一対の外側接着指７，７とこの外側接着指７，７間の内側で、該外側接着指７，７よりも接着力の強い一対の内側接着指８，８とを有する取出アーム９の下端部を回動可能に支持した袋取出機構３を設け、該取出アーム９を袋容器１上方から回動させ空袋２を外側接着指７，７及び内側接着指８，８で接着後、取出アーム９を回動起立させて空袋２を取り出す構成とし、前記起立した取出アーム９の内側接着指８，８にのみ対向する接着指１０，１０を有する開口アーム１１を取出アーム９側へ向け水平移動させ、接着指１０，１０で空袋２を接着後、開口アーム１１を取出アーム９から離間する方向へ水平移動させて空袋２を開口可能の袋開口機構４を設けるとともに、前記空袋２を開口させる開口アーム１１の水平移動は、取出アーム９の外側接着指７，７から空袋２が外れた状態になる位置まで移動させ、取出アーム９の内側接着指８，８と開口アーム１１の接着指１０，１０とで空袋２を開口状態に保持すべく構成した。
【０００５】
【発明の作用及び効果】
【０００６】
袋容器１から空袋２を１枚ずつ取り出す際に外側接着指７と内側接着指８とで空袋２の袋口外側面をたるみ無く接着して取り出し、開口時には外側接着指７が外れて内側接着指８と開口アーム１１の接着指１０で広く開口状態に保持することができる。
【０００７】
【実施例】
次に、本発明を実施した野菜類の袋詰め装置を図面を参照しながら説明する。
四角ボックス状の機枠１５の上部中央に袋保持機構５を設け、内部には空袋２を多数枚重ねて収納する袋容器１とこの袋容器１中の最上部の空袋２を接着して１枚宛取り出す袋取出機構３とこの袋取出機構３で取り出した空袋２の袋口を開口する袋開口機構４を設け、袋保持機構５の下方から機枠１５の外部へ向けて搬出コンベア１６を設けている。袋保持機構５の上側側部には開口状態の空袋２中へ水を霧状にして吹き込む噴霧機構１７を設けている。
【０００８】
まず、機枠１５の内部から説明すると、袋容器１は、図３と図４に示す如く、四角形あるいは台形のビニール袋からなる空袋２を多数枚重ねて収納する上方が開口した容器で、底部中央に凸部１２を形成し、重ね置いた空袋２の底部側左右中央を上方へ屈曲させて袋容器１の傾斜下方へずり落ちないようにしている。１８は袋容器１の開口部の略半分を覆うカバー板で袋容器１にヒンジ１９で取り付け、上端を空袋２上に載せるようにしている。このカバー板１８の内側には重り２０を帯状体２１で左右に取り付け、空袋２を１枚宛取り出す際に抵抗となって２枚が付いて出ないようにしている。
【０００９】
この袋容器１はばね２２と枢支軸２３で支持台２４へ傾斜状に支持し、袋供給時には支持台２４が取出アーム９の回動範囲である中央側へ移動するようにしている。
袋容器１の下方には搬出コンベア１６へ向けて傾斜したシュート２５を設けているが、袋容器１の傾斜下部側からシュート２５へ向けて補助シュート２６を設け、袋詰めの終わった袋２が袋保持機５から落下するとのを案内し確実に搬出コンベア１６上へ乗って機枠１５の外部へ搬出されるようにしている。
【００１０】
袋取出機構３は、機枠１５の回動軸２７に固定した取出アーム９が袋容器１と上部の袋保持機構５との間を回動するようにしている。取出アーム９の先端には空袋２の袋口外側の左右両端に接着する外側接着指７と内側２箇所に接着する内側接着指８とを設けた横枠２８を取り付け、袋容器１中の最上側の空袋２を各接着指７，８の先端に設ける接着剤で接着して１枚宛引き出すようにしている。
外側接着指７は内側接着指８よりも僅かに長く突出し袋容器１中の空袋２に外側接着指７が強く押圧して接着するようにして、空袋２に両接着指７，８が確実に接着するようにしている。
【００１１】
また、外側接着指７と内側接着指８は、接着剤の種類を変えたり接着面積を変えることで内側接着指８の方が外側接着指７よりも強く接着するようにしている。
袋開口機構４は、前記袋取出機構３の内側接着指８に対向する接着指１０を設けた開口アーム１１が水平移動して、取出アーム９で取り出した空袋２の外側に接着指１０が接着して図５と図６に示す如く空袋２を開口するようにしている。
【００１２】
袋開口保持機構５は、図２に示す如く、機枠１５内の上部に設ける水平の支持台２９に設けた丸孔３０の上側にこの丸孔３０と略同径の丸孔３１を有する作動盤３２を丸孔３１の周囲四等配位置に設ける支持杆３３とばね３４で上方へ弾発支持している。この作動盤３２の下面側に保持杆６を丸孔の中心に向けて突出する状態に支軸３５で支持している。
保持杆６は、側面視で「く」の字状に先がやや下方に屈曲していて、丸孔３１の周囲６等配位置に設け、ばね３７で略水平に保持していて、作動盤３２を支持台２９に向けて降下すると、ばね３７の端部が支持台２９に設ける突起３８に当接して保持杆６が下方から斜め外方に向けて回動し、開口した袋口の内側に保持杆６の先端が係合して空袋２を開口状態で保持する。
【００１３】
噴霧機構１７は、液体噴出口３９と空気噴出口４０を有するパイプ４１が電動シリンダ４２で作動盤３２の側部から丸孔３１の中央へ向けて往復移動し、中央位置で水を霧状にして袋保持機構５で保持した空袋２中へ吹き込み空袋２を膨らませながら袋内面に水を付着させる。
４３は空気の圧縮機、４４は定量吐ポンプ、４５は液体タンクである。
機枠１５の上側面に袋取りスイッチ４６を設け、この袋取りスイッチ４６を押すと、袋取出機構３と袋開口機構４と袋保持機構５が順次作動して袋容器１中の空袋２を袋開口機構５に開口状態で保持し、噴霧機構１７で空袋２中へ水が噴霧される。その後、作業者が野菜類を手で持って空袋２中へ挿入し、再び袋取りスイッチ４６を押すと、袋保持機構５が野菜類を詰めた袋を落下させ、搬出コンベア１６で機枠１５外のコンテナ４７中へ搬出して収納する。一方機枠１５内では、再び袋容器１中の空袋２を取り出して袋保持機構５に保持し噴霧機構１７で水を袋内部に噴霧して野菜類を挿入可能な状態となって待機する。
