Description

本発明は、ソーセージ等を薫製する台車等へ搬送する搬送装置にソーセージ等が吊下された竿を移送するためのソーセージ等吊下竿の移送方法及びその装置に関する。   TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transferring sausage and other suspended baskets for transferring a basket in which sausages and the like are suspended to a transport apparatus that transports the sausages and the like to a cart that smokes the sausages and the like.

実公平6−21351号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No.6-22131 特開2003−180239号公報JP 2003-180239 A

ソーセージ等は、通常、肉類を天然腸又は人工腸等の包装材に充填し、この肉類が充填された包装材を捻ったリンク状のソーセージ等を竿に吊下し、この竿に吊下されたソーセージ等を薫製して製造される。   Sausages, etc. are usually filled in packaging materials such as natural intestines or artificial intestines, and link-shaped sausages, etc. twisted with packaging materials filled with meat are suspended in a cage and suspended in this cage. Smoked sausage etc. are manufactured.

斯かるソーセージ等の製造においては、通常、ソーセージ等が吊下された竿を搬送装置と台車を介して薫製工程に搬送するのであるが、斯かる竿を搬送装置に移送するために特許文献1に記載されているような竿の一端を挟着、保持して水平に移動させる移送装置と、特許文献2に記載されているような竿の二箇所を拘持して竿を水平方向と上下方向へ移動する装置が提案されている。   In the manufacture of such sausages and the like, usually, the basket in which the sausages and the like are suspended is transported to the smoking process via the transport device and the carriage. The transfer device that sandwiches and holds one end of the ridge as described in the above and horizontally moves the ridge as described in Patent Document 2 and holds the heel horizontally and vertically. Devices that move in the direction have been proposed.

特許文献1に記載されている移送装置では、挟着部材は竿の一端を挟着させる搬入位置からコンベア供給位置の間を往復移動する。1台のコンベアに複数台の挟着部材と降下手段を設けた場合は、竿が載せられていないコンベアの部分に竿を供給しなくてはならないために、挟着部材降下までの待機時間が長くなり、その分、搬入位置への挟着部材の戻りが遅れる。挟着部材が搬入位置に戻っていない間は、次の竿を挟着部材にセットできないので、生産性が低下するという問題がある。   In the transfer device described in Patent Document 1, the clamping member reciprocates between the carry-in position where the one end of the bag is clamped and the conveyor supply position. When a plurality of sandwiching members and lowering means are provided on one conveyor, the traps must be supplied to the part of the conveyor on which the traps are not placed. It becomes longer, and the return of the clamping member to the carry-in position is delayed accordingly. While the sandwiching member is not returned to the carry-in position, the next bag cannot be set on the sandwiching member, and there is a problem that productivity is lowered.

また、ソーセージが吊下された竿の一端を挟着、保持して水平に移動させるので、竿を片持ち支持しているために竿に撓みが生じ易く斯かる竿の撓みで竿の変形が生じる上に、同じく竿の片持ち支持のために挟着力に不足が生じると竿の落下を招来するという問題がある。   In addition, since one end of the bowl with the sausage suspended is sandwiched and held and moved horizontally, the bowl is easily deformed because the bowl is supported in a cantilevered manner, and the deformation of the bowl is caused by the bending of the bowl. In addition, there is a problem that if the pinching force is insufficient due to the cantilever support of the kite, the kite will fall.

更に特許文献1に記載されている移送装置は、自動的に供給される竿を搬送装置に移送するものではなく、人手を介して供給された竿を搬送装置に移送するものであるために、省力化に不向きである。   Furthermore, since the transfer device described in Patent Document 1 does not transfer the automatically-supplied kite to the transport device, but transfers the kite supplied via the manual to the transport device, Not suitable for labor saving.

特許文献2に記載されている移送装置は、フックから竿へのソーセージの受け渡しのための竿の移動と、竿載置台迄のソーセージを吊下した竿の移動とを同一の固定ハンド部41の移動によって行うので、生産性を下げないために、二つの水平回動アームが必要となり、加えて、二つの水平回動アームが回動するので、竿の移動に広いスペースが必要となるものである。更に、この移送装置は、拘持されずに位置規制されていない竿の他端部をフックから吊り下がって揺れ動くループの中に挿入するのでループを拡げる必要があり、そのためにフックはループを拡げる機構を備えている。   The transfer device described in Patent Document 2 uses the same fixed hand portion 41 for the movement of the basket for transferring the sausage from the hook to the basket and the movement of the basket with the sausage suspended up to the basket mounting table. Since it is performed by movement, two horizontal rotating arms are necessary to avoid reducing productivity, and in addition, since the two horizontal rotating arms rotate, a large space is required for the movement of the bag. is there. Furthermore, since this transfer device is inserted into a swinging loop that hangs from the hook and hangs the other end of the bag that is not restrained and is not restricted in position, the hook needs to be expanded. It has a mechanism.

本発明は、前記諸点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、装置の稼働率を上げて生産性を向上することができて簡潔な構造の装置であって、しかも竿の移送に大きなスペースを必要とせず、それに加えて、移送速度を高速にできる上に移送速度を高速にしても竿の落下の虞もない上に、自動化、省力化に適するソーセージ等吊下竿の移送方法及びその装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is an apparatus having a simple structure that can increase the operating rate of the apparatus and improve productivity, and In addition to this, there is no need for a large space for transporting, and in addition, the transfer speed can be increased, and even if the transfer speed is increased, there is no risk of dredging, and suspended sausages suitable for automation and labor saving.

移動手段34は、竿受け取り支持手段31及び32を支持する支持機構45と、支持機構45を往復動させる往復動手段46とを具備しており、支持機構45は、ロータリーアクチュエータ43が取り付けられた取り付け板42と、取り付け板42を橋絡した横棒47と、横棒47を吊下支持する棒部材48を有した吊下機構49とを具備している。往復動手段46は、吊下機構49を方向Xに移動させる往復動駆動手段50と往復動駆動手段50に設けられて吊下機構49を固着した可動台52を具備している。往復動駆動手段50は吊下機構49を方向Xに往復動させる手段であればその構成は特に限定されない。本実施例の往復動駆動手段50はシリンダチューブ51Aとシリンダチューブ51Aの内部に方向Xに往復動可能に嵌合していて、シリンダチューブ51Aの外周に往復動可能に嵌合したボディ51Bと作用的に締結されたピストン51Cを有した公知のエア式のロッドレスシリンダ51を備えている。   The moving means 34 includes a support mechanism 45 that supports the basket receiving support means 31 and 32, and a reciprocating means 46 that reciprocates the support mechanism 45. The support mechanism 45 has a rotary actuator 43 attached thereto. A mounting plate 42, a horizontal bar 47 bridging the mounting plate 42, and a suspension mechanism 49 having a bar member 48 for supporting the horizontal bar 47 in a suspended manner are provided. The reciprocating means 46 includes a reciprocating drive means 50 that moves the suspension mechanism 49 in the direction X, and a movable base 52 that is provided in the reciprocation drive means 50 and to which the suspension mechanism 49 is fixed. The configuration of the reciprocating drive means 50 is not particularly limited as long as it is a means for reciprocating the suspension mechanism 49 in the direction X. The reciprocating drive means 50 of this embodiment is fitted in the cylinder tube 51A and the cylinder tube 51A so as to be reciprocable in the direction X, and acts on the outer periphery of the cylinder tube 51A so as to be reciprocally movable. A well-known pneumatic rodless cylinder 51 having a piston 51C that is fastened is provided.

ボディ51Bは、図示せぬエア制御バルブからのシリンダチューブ51Aへのエア供給によって方向Xに往復動するピストン51Cに同期駆動されて方向Xに往復動するようになっており、ボディ51Bに固着した可動台52の方向Xの往復動により可動台52に支持機構45を介して吊下支持された一対の竿受け取り支持手段31及び32もまた、方向Xに往復動されるようになっており、而して、移動手段34は、竿中継支持手段8により両端部6及び7で予め支持されていた際の竿4の延びる方向、即ち方向Xと平行な方向を実質的に維持して竿受け取り支持手段31及び32により両端部6及び7が支持された竿4を搬送路33上に移動するようになっている。   The body 51B is synchronously driven by a piston 51C that reciprocates in the direction X by air supply from an air control valve (not shown) to the cylinder tube 51A, and reciprocates in the direction X, and is fixed to the body 51B. A pair of hook receiving support means 31 and 32 suspended from the movable table 52 via the support mechanism 45 by the reciprocating movement of the movable table 52 in the direction X are also reciprocated in the direction X. Thus, the moving means 34 receives the cocoon while substantially maintaining the direction in which the heel 4 extends, that is, the direction parallel to the direction X, when it is supported in advance by the heel relay support means 8 at both ends 6 and 7. The eaves 4 whose both ends 6 and 7 are supported by the support means 31 and 32 are moved onto the conveyance path 33.

本例の移送手段9は、図5A及び図5Bに示すような搬送手段10に近接して配設されて、搬送路33上に移送された竿4の両端部6及び7を下降させる下降手段53を更に具備している。この下降手段53は、フック35の下方に位置付けられた竿受け部55aを設けた一対の昇降回動アーム55と昇降回動アーム55を昇降させる回動手段54、ここでは公知のエア式のロータリーアクチュエータ56を具備し、ロータリーアクチュエータ56はフレーム61に設けられている。   The transfer means 9 of this example is disposed in the vicinity of the transfer means 10 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, and is a lowering means for lowering both ends 6 and 7 of the basket 4 transferred onto the transfer path 33. 53 is further provided. The lowering means 53 includes a pair of up-and-down turning arms 55 provided with a hook receiving portion 55a positioned below the hook 35, and a turning means 54 for raising and lowering the up-and-down turning arms 55, here a known pneumatic rotary An actuator 56 is provided, and the rotary actuator 56 is provided on the frame 61.

上述した下降手段53にかえて、図6に示す本例の下降手段57は、往復動手段46に設けられていて吊下機構49と可動台52との間に介在して吊下機構49を方向Zに昇降する往復動駆動手段58、ここでは公知のエア式のロッドレスシリンダ59を有した構成であっても良い。ロッドレスシリンダ59はシリンダチューブ59A、ボディ59B、ピストン59Cを有して、上述した下降手段53よりも方向Zに長い可動台52に取り付けられており、方向Zに往復動するボディ59Bには可動台60が固着している。本例の吊下機構49は、取り付け板42と横棒47と上述した下降手段53よりも方向Zに長い棒部材48を有しており、棒部材48は可動台60に固着されていて、ロッドレスシリンダ59の作動によって竿受け取り支持手段31及び32を方向Zに昇降するようになっている。   In place of the above-described lowering means 53, the lowering means 57 of this example shown in FIG. The structure may include a reciprocating drive means 58 that moves up and down in the direction Z, here, a known pneumatic rodless cylinder 59. The rodless cylinder 59 has a cylinder tube 59A, a body 59B, and a piston 59C, and is attached to a movable base 52 that is longer in the direction Z than the lowering means 53 described above, and is movable to the body 59B that reciprocates in the direction Z. The base 60 is fixed. The suspension mechanism 49 of this example includes a mounting member 42, a horizontal bar 47, and a bar member 48 that is longer in the direction Z than the above-described lowering means 53, and the bar member 48 is fixed to the movable base 60. By actuating the rodless cylinder 59, the rod receiving support means 31 and 32 are moved up and down in the direction Z.

搬送手段10は、並置されてY方向に走行する一対の無端チェーン62を具備しており、ソーセージ2が吊下された移送手段9からの竿4の両端部6及び7を一対の無端チェーン62で受け取り、竿4を一対の無端チェーン62の走行と共にY方向に搬送するようになっている。   The conveying means 10 includes a pair of endless chains 62 that are juxtaposed and run in the Y direction. The ends 6 and 7 of the basket 4 from the transfer means 9 from which the sausage 2 is suspended are connected to the pair of endless chains 62. And the bag 4 is conveyed in the Y direction along with the traveling of the pair of endless chains 62.

斯かる構成のソーセージ等吊下竿の移送装置1では、特に図3及び図4に示すように、搬送手段10から竿中継支持手段8上に復帰した竿受け取り支持手段31、32は、人手もしくは竿供給手段5によって竿中継支持手段8上に既に供給されている竿4を受け取るべく、ロータリーアクチュエータ43が作動されて各フック35がR2方向に回動され図7及び図8に示すように各フック35の受け取り凹面41が竿4の端部6及び7の直ぐ下方にもたらされると共に端部6及び7を若干掬い上げ、これにより各受け具25に支持されていた端部6及び7が各フック35の受け取り凹面41で支持される。この状態で、ロータリーアクチュエータ22が作動されてアーム24がR1方向に回動されて図9及び図10に示すように一方の受け具25が竿4並びにループ2Aの搬送手段10への移送径路から後退する。   In the transfer device 1 for the hanging rod such as sausage having such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 in particular, the rod receiving support means 31 and 32 returned from the conveying means 10 onto the rod relay supporting means 8 are manually or In order to receive the rod 4 already supplied on the rod relay support means 8 by the rod supply means 5, the rotary actuator 43 is operated and the hooks 35 are rotated in the R2 direction, as shown in FIGS. The receiving concave surface 41 of the hook 35 is brought just below the ends 6 and 7 of the flange 4 and the ends 6 and 7 are slightly raised so that the ends 6 and 7 supported by the respective receivers 25 are It is supported by the receiving concave surface 41 of the hook 35. In this state, the rotary actuator 22 is actuated to rotate the arm 24 in the R1 direction, so that one of the receivers 25 is moved from the transfer path to the conveying means 10 of the flange 4 and the loop 2A as shown in FIGS. fall back.

こうして一対の竿受け取り支持手段31及び32は、竿中継支持手段8からソーセージ2が吊下された竿4を両端部6及び7で受け取って支持する。その後、往復動駆動手段50が作動されると、可動台52が図11に示すように方向Xに走行されてこれと共に支持機構45及び竿受け取り支持手段31及び32を介してソーセージ2が吊下された竿4もまた方向Xに走行され搬送路33上の所定位置迄移送されて停止する。竿中継支持手段8は、ソーセージ2を吊下した竿4が移動手段34により方向Xに走行された後に、ロータリーアクチュエータ22を再び作動させてアーム24をR1方向に回動させて図3及び図4に示すように一方の受け具25を元の位置に復帰させて、人手もしくは竿供給手段5からの次の竿4の供給に備える。   Thus, the pair of scissors receiving support means 31 and 32 receives and supports the scissors 4 from which the sausage 2 is suspended from the scissors relay support means 8 at both ends 6 and 7. Thereafter, when the reciprocating drive means 50 is actuated, the movable base 52 travels in the direction X as shown in FIG. 11, and the sausage 2 is suspended along with the support mechanism 45 and the hook receiving support means 31 and 32. The fired 4 is also traveled in the direction X, transferred to a predetermined position on the transport path 33, and stopped. The saddle relay support means 8 operates the rotary actuator 22 again to rotate the arm 24 in the R1 direction after the saddle 4 that suspends the sausage 2 travels in the direction X by the moving means 34, and rotates the arm 24 in the R1 direction. As shown in FIG. 4, one receiving member 25 is returned to its original position to prepare for the next supply of the heel 4 from the hand or the heel supply means 5.

図5A及び図5Bを参照して、昇降回動アーム55の竿受け部55aは前記した所定位置へ向って移送されてゆくループ2Aの下方位置でループ2Aの通過を待機し、ループ2Aの通過後に昇降回動アーム55をR3方向に回動させてフック35上の竿4の直下位置へ向って上昇する。竿受け部55aの上昇が終わると、上記した搬送路33上の所定位置にて停止していた竿受け取り支持手段31、32はそのフック35を上方R2方向へ回動して、竿4の両端部6及び7の支持を解除する。竿受け部55aはその上昇端位置でフック35から落下した竿4の両端部6及び7を受け止めて竿4の両端部6及び7を支持する。   Referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, the hook receiving portion 55a of the lifting and lowering arm 55 waits for the passage of the loop 2A at the lower position of the loop 2A transferred toward the predetermined position, and the passage of the loop 2A. Later, the lifting / lowering turning arm 55 is turned in the R3 direction and raised toward the position directly below the hook 4 on the hook 35. When the eaves receiving portion 55a finishes rising, the eaves receiving support means 31 and 32 that have stopped at the predetermined position on the transport path 33 rotate their hooks 35 in the upward R2 direction, Release the support of parts 6 and 7. The hook receiving portion 55a supports both ends 6 and 7 of the hook 4 by receiving both ends 6 and 7 of the hook 4 dropped from the hook 35 at the rising end position.

竿受け取り支持手段31、32のフック35が上方へ回動して元の位置に復帰すると、往復動手段46が作動して竿受け取り支持手段31、32を方向Xへ移動させて、竿受け取り支持手段31、32は図3に示す竿中継支持手段8上の元の位置に復帰する。   When the hook 35 of the heel receiving support means 31 and 32 is rotated upward and returned to the original position, the reciprocating means 46 is operated to move the heel receiving support means 31 and 32 in the direction X, thereby supporting the heel receiving support. The means 31 and 32 return to their original positions on the saddle relay support means 8 shown in FIG.

下降手段53は、竿4を受け渡すに十分なスペースを持った無端チェーン62が到来すると、その昇降回動アーム55を下方R4方向へ回動させて、上昇端位置に停止していた竿受け部55aを無端チェーン62の下方位置迄降下させ、竿受け部55aに支持されていた竿4はY方向へ走行する無端チェーン62上に載置されて、無端チェーン62の走行によって竿受け部55aによる支持を解除されてY方向へ搬送されて行く。その後、昇降回動アーム55をR5方向へ回動させて、竿受け部55aを再びループ2Aの下方位置に待機させる。   When the endless chain 62 having a sufficient space for delivering the rod 4 arrives, the lowering means 53 rotates the lifting / lowering rotation arm 55 in the downward R4 direction and stops at the rising end position. The lower part 55a is lowered to a position below the endless chain 62, and the eaves 4 supported by the eaves receiving part 55a are placed on the endless chain 62 traveling in the Y direction, and the eaves receiving part 55a is moved by the endless chain 62 traveling. The support by is released, and it is conveyed in the Y direction. Thereafter, the up-and-down rotation arm 55 is rotated in the R5 direction, and the hook receiving portion 55a is again placed on standby at the position below the loop 2A.

次に、往復動手段46に別の態様の下降手段57を設けた装置1の作動について図6を参照して説明する。前記した搬送路33上の所定位置にて停止した下降手段57は、前例の下降手段53と同様に、竿4を受け渡すに十分なスペースを持った無端チェーン62が到来すると、そのロッドレスシリンダ59を作動させて吊下機構49を介して、受け取り支持手段31、32に支持された竿4の両端部6及び7を無端チェーン62の上部直近位置迄降下させる。竿4が無端チェーン62の上部直近位置に到達した時に、竿受け取り支持手段31、32のロータリーアクチュエータ43が作動して、フック35を上方へR2方向へ回動させる。フック35による支持を解除された竿4はY方向へ走行する無端チェーン62上に載置されて、Y方向へ搬送されて行く。このようにすると、竿4の搬送手段10への受け渡し時期を早められるので、後述する受け取り支持手段31、32の竿中継支持手段8への復帰を早められる。   Next, the operation of the apparatus 1 in which the reciprocating means 46 is provided with the lowering means 57 of another aspect will be described with reference to FIG. The lowering means 57 stopped at a predetermined position on the conveying path 33, when the endless chain 62 having a sufficient space for delivering the rod 4 arrives, like the lowering means 53 of the previous example, the rodless cylinder 59 is operated to lower both end portions 6 and 7 of the rod 4 supported by the receiving and supporting means 31 and 32 to the position closest to the upper portion of the endless chain 62 via the suspension mechanism 49. When the hook 4 reaches the position closest to the upper part of the endless chain 62, the rotary actuator 43 of the hook receiving support means 31 and 32 operates to rotate the hook 35 upward in the R2 direction. The cage 4 released from the support by the hook 35 is placed on an endless chain 62 that travels in the Y direction and is conveyed in the Y direction. In this way, since the delivery time of the basket 4 to the conveying means 10 can be advanced, the return of the receiving support means 31 and 32, which will be described later, to the saddle relay support means 8 can be accelerated.

フック35を回動させて竿4を無端チェーン62に受け渡すので、フック35が竿4に対して搬送方向Yの下流側にあっても無端チェーン62に受け渡された竿4の下流方向への搬送の邪魔にならない。尚、フック35が竿4に対して搬送方向Yの上流側にあるような構成の装置である場合には、フック35を回動させずに、無端チェーン62の走行によってフック35による竿4の支持を解除させても良い。   Since the hook 35 is rotated to pass the collar 4 to the endless chain 62, even if the hook 35 is on the downstream side of the conveying direction Y with respect to the collar 4, the hook 35 is transferred to the downstream direction of the collar 4 passed to the endless chain 62. Does not interfere with the transport of In the case where the hook 35 is an apparatus having an upstream side in the transport direction Y with respect to the hook 4, the hook 35 is not rotated and the hook 35 is moved by the endless chain 62. Support may be released.

竿受け取り支持手段31及び32による竿4の両端部6及び7の搬送手段10への受け渡し後、下降手段57は、そのロッドレスシリンダ59を作動させて吊下機構49を上昇させて元の位置に復帰させると共に、ロッドレスシリンダ51を作動させて可動台52を方向Xに走行させて竿受け取り支持手段31及び32を図3に示す元の位置に復帰させる。   After delivery of the opposite ends 6 and 7 of the kite 4 to the transport unit 10 by the kite receiving support means 31 and 32, the lowering unit 57 operates the rodless cylinder 59 to raise the suspension mechanism 49 to return to the original position. In addition, the rodless cylinder 51 is operated to move the movable base 52 in the direction X to return the rod receiving support means 31 and 32 to their original positions shown in FIG.

下降手段53を具備した移送手段9並びに下降手段57を具備した移送手段9のうちのいずれにおいても、竿受け取り支持手段31及び32が元の位置に復帰する毎に、上記動作が繰り返される。移送手段9の復帰が早まり、竿中継支持手段8に未だ竿4が供給されていない場合には、竿4の供給を待ち、供給されて一旦載置された竿4に対して、上記動作が繰り返される。   In any of the transfer means 9 having the lowering means 53 and the transfer means 9 having the lowering means 57, the above operation is repeated each time the basket receiving support means 31 and 32 return to their original positions. If the return of the transfer means 9 is accelerated and the hook 4 is not yet supplied to the hook relay support means 8, the supply of the hook 4 is waited, and the above operation is performed on the hook 4 once supplied and placed. Repeated.

搬送手段10は、各列の竿受け取り支持手段31及び32から受け取ったソーセージ2を吊下した竿4を方向Yに搬送して搬送路33の下流側に運搬する。   The conveying means 10 conveys the basket 4 in which the sausage 2 received from the basket receiving support means 31 and 32 in each row is suspended in the direction Y and conveys it downstream of the conveying path 33.

以上のソーセージ等吊下竿の移送装置1では、竿中継支持手段8が竿4を人手もしくは竿供給手段5から移送手段9に引き継ぐようにしたので、竿4の供給サイクルと移送手段9による竿4の移送サイクルとを同期させる必要がなく、竿4の移送サイクルに遅れが生じても、竿4の供給サイクルを遅れた竿4の移送サイクルに合わせて遅らせる必要がなく、而して、装置1の稼働率を上げて生産性を向上することができる。   In the above-described sanitary hanger transfer device 1, the eaves relay support means 8 takes over the eaves 4 manually or from the eaves supply means 5 to the transfer means 9. It is not necessary to synchronize the transfer cycle of No. 4, and even if a delay occurs in the transfer cycle of the kite 4, there is no need to delay the supply cycle of the kite 4 in accordance with the delayed transfer cycle of the kite 4, and thus the apparatus The productivity can be improved by increasing the operation rate of 1.

移送手段9では、ソーセージ2が吊下された竿4を両端部6及び7で竿受け取り支持手段31及び32により受け取って支持して斯かる竿4を、竿中継支持手段8により両端部6及び7で支持されていた際の竿4の延びる方向、即ち方向Xと平行な方向を維持して両端部6及び7を支持して搬送路33上に移動するために、竿4の片持ち支持と比較して竿4の撓みを少なくできて移送中にソーセージ2又は竿4の落下の虞をなくし得且つ竿の移送に大きなスペースを必要としない、しかも竿中継支持手段8により両端部6及び7で支持されている竿4を当該両端部6及び7で受け取って支持するために、ソーセージ吊下竿4を人手を介することなしに搬送路上33に移動でき、而して、自動化、省力化に適する。   In the transfer means 9, the basket 4 on which the sausage 2 is suspended is received and supported by the bowl receiving support means 31 and 32 at both ends 6 and 7, and the bowl 4 is supported by the bridge relay support means 8 at both ends 6 and 7. The cantilever 4 is cantilevered so as to support the both ends 6 and 7 and move on the conveying path 33 while maintaining the direction in which the trough 4 extends when supported by 7, that is, the direction parallel to the direction X. The sausage 2 or the casket 4 can be prevented from falling during the transfer, and a large space is not required for the transport of the casket. The sausage suspension rod 4 can be moved to the transport path 33 without manual operation in order to receive and support the rod 4 supported by the both ends 6 and 7, thus automating and saving labor. Suitable for.

移送装置1では、竿4の両端部6及び7の支持を維持してソーセージ吊下竿4を竿供給手段5から搬送手段10迄移送するので、竿4の位置を規定できるために、竿4の位置規定のための特別な機構を必要としない簡潔な構造となる。   In the transfer device 1, the sausage suspended rod 4 is transferred from the rod supply means 5 to the conveying device 10 while maintaining the support of both ends 6 and 7 of the rod 4, so that the position of the rod 4 can be defined. It becomes a simple structure which does not require a special mechanism for position definition.

上記の竿中継支持手段8では、竿4一本が載置されて支持するようにしたが、これに代えて、移送手段9による竿4の移送サイクルに対して人手もしくは竿供給手段5による竿4の供給サイクルが早い時に竿中継支持手段8上に複数本の竿4を供給・載置しておき、移送手段9がその内の1本の竿4のみを受け取って移送するようにしても良い。このようにすると竿4の移送サイクルに対して竿4の供給サイクルが遅くなるような事態が生じても、移送手段9による竿4の移送サイクルの遅れを回避できる。   In the kite relay support means 8 described above, one kite 4 is placed and supported, but instead of the kite 4 by the transport means 9, the kite is manually or by the kite supply means 5. When the supply cycle of 4 is early, a plurality of baskets 4 are supplied and placed on the bridge relay support means 8 so that the transfer means 9 receives and transfers only one of the poles 4. good. In this way, even if a situation occurs in which the supply cycle of the basket 4 is delayed with respect to the transfer cycle of the basket 4, the delay of the transfer cycle of the basket 4 by the transfer means 9 can be avoided.

竿中継支持手段8は竿4並びにループ2Aの搬送手段10への移送径路から後退するので、竿受け取り支持手段31及び32の動作が簡潔でコンパクトになる。更に、ソーセージ2を吊下した竿4の両端部6及び7が往復回動可能なフック35に載置してフック35に支持されるので、竿中継支持手段8からの竿4の受け取り、並びに下降手段53或は搬送手段10への竿4の受け渡しを簡潔な動作で達成できる。   Since the saddle relay support means 8 moves backward from the transfer path of the saddle 4 and the loop 2A to the conveying means 10, the operation of the saddle receiving support means 31 and 32 becomes simple and compact. Furthermore, since both ends 6 and 7 of the basket 4 that suspends the sausage 2 are placed on the hook 35 that can be reciprocated and supported by the hook 35, the reception of the basket 4 from the relay relay support means 8, and Delivery of the basket 4 to the lowering means 53 or the conveying means 10 can be achieved with a simple operation.

回動手段20、回動手段36、往復動駆動手段50、回動手段54、往復動駆動手段58はエアを駆動源としたものに限らず、電動モータ/電動アクチュエータや、油圧モータ/油圧アクチュエータなどを初めとしたその他公知の手段を用いても良い。   The rotation means 20, the rotation means 36, the reciprocation drive means 50, the rotation means 54, and the reciprocation drive means 58 are not limited to those using air as a drive source, but are an electric motor / electric actuator or a hydraulic motor / hydraulic actuator. Other known means such as the above may be used.

上記の移送手段9では、各フック35をR2方向に回動して竿4の両端部6及び7を各フック35により掬い上げるようにして竿4を当該両端部6及び7でフック35により受け取って支持するようにしたが、これに代えて、アーム24のR1方向の回動による一方の受け具25の後退に加えて、他方の受け具25も後退させるようにして、両受け具25に支持されていた端部6及び7を各フック35の受け取り凹面41に受け渡すようにしてもよい。   In the transfer means 9, the hooks 35 are rotated in the R 2 direction so that both ends 6 and 7 of the hook 4 are scooped up by the hooks 35, and the hook 4 is received by the hooks 35 at both ends 6 and 7. Instead of this, in addition to the retreat of one receiver 25 by the rotation of the arm 24 in the R1 direction, the other receiver 25 is also retracted. The supported end portions 6 and 7 may be transferred to the receiving concave surface 41 of each hook 35.
