DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. An example of a sliced meat piece transfer device that receives sliced meat pieces from the slicer and sends them to the next process by a conveyor is shown in FIGS. The whole structure consists of a slicer S that cuts sliced meat pieces m from beef and pork partial meat M, a receiving device 1 for sliced meat pieces m, a transfer piece 2 that transports the sliced meat pieces m while folding them, and the following steps The pressing tool 4 according to the present invention is arranged at the start end of the conveyor 3.
[0008]
Although the detailed illustration of the slicer S is omitted, reference numeral 5 denotes a belt-like blade, which is wound around drums provided on the left and right sides of the machine body (not shown) and rotates at a high speed. The partial meat M is configured to move in the vertical direction indicated by the arrow A with respect to the belt-like blade 5, and is sent out by a sending device (not shown) at a downward movement position by a predetermined dimension, and is sent out during the upward movement. The portion is cut out by the strip-shaped blade 5 to become sliced meat pieces m.
[0009]
The sliced meat piece receiving apparatus 1 is configured by inserting and fixing a large number of disks 1a having a large number of protrusions 6 on the outer periphery to the rotating shaft 1b at appropriate intervals, with the protrusions 6 on the outer periphery of the disk 1a. The sliced meat piece m cut out from the slicer S is received. The rotary shaft 1b is appropriately supported on a machine frame (not shown), and one end is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 7. The receiving device 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow B and stopped at a predetermined position.
[0010]
The transfer piece 2 is arranged between the receiving device 1 and the conveyor 3, and is configured by planting a large number of comb rods 2 b on a horizontal bar 2 a having the same length as the horizontal width of the receiving device 1. The release side of the comb bar 2b is rotated from the standby position (virtual line display C) immersed in the gaps between the many disks 1a constituting the receiving device 1 to the start end where the sliced meat piece m of the conveyor 3 is placed. The motor 8 to be moved D is directly mounted on the extended end of the horizontal bar 2a. The motor 8 is mounted on the rod tip of the air cylinder 9 with guide fixed to the machine frame, and moves the transfer piece 2 together with the motor 8 from the placement position of the sliced meat piece m of the conveyor 3 to the E position. Can do.
[0011]
The conveyor 3 hangs the flat belt 3a between the pulleys 10 (partially omitted) and appropriately drives it, places the sliced meat piece m folded in two on the upper surface, and sends it out in the direction of the arrow. At the placement position of the sliced meat piece m of the flat belt 3a, the movable pulley 10a is brought into contact with the back side of the flat belt 3a, and when the sliced meat piece m is placed, the relative interval between the sliced piece m and the transfer piece 2 is set. In accordance with the number of stacked sheets, it can be automatically adjusted as shown by the phantom line in FIG.
[0012]
Next, the retractable pressing tool 4 that presses the sliced meat piece m placed on the conveyor 3 against the conveyor 3 will be described. When the transfer piece 2 places the sliced meat piece m on the conveyor 3, the pressing tool 4 that presses the vicinity of the fold line of the sliced meat piece m from above is a rod of the air cylinder 11 with a guide attached to one side of the machine frame. It consists of an angle member 4a that is attached to the tip and has a length that spans the full width of the sliced meat piece m, and the lower end surface that is a pressing surface with the sliced meat piece m is rounded so as not to damage the surface of the sliced meat piece m. It is configured so that it can be moved back and forth from the position where the sliced meat piece m is pressed (FIG. 4a) to the upper standby position (FIG. 1).
[0013]
Here, the structure of the restraining tool 12 which is the gist of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, an elastic wire 12a such as a hard steel wire having a diameter of about 1 to 2 mm is used, and one end is fixed to the angle member 4a of the pressing tool 4 with a bolt 12b and a nut 12c. The other end is in a free state, but is loosely fitted on a guide ring 4b provided on the angle member 4a so that the restraining device 12 does not deviate greatly from the position near the pressing device 4. This elastic wire 12a is located in the vicinity of the lower end surface of the angle member 4a, is substantially parallel, and the vertical distance from the lower end surface of the angle member 4a reaches the tip as shown in FIG. The shape is projected so as to gradually move away.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 3, the restraining device 12 is configured as a pair substantially symmetrically as viewed from the transfer direction of the sliced meat piece m.
[0015]
The operation of the slice meat piece transfer device configured as described above will be described. The sliced piece m cut out from the slicer S is placed on the protrusion 6 of the receiving device 1, is moved by operating the drive motor 7, and stops at a predetermined position (position in FIG. 1F).
[0016]
Next, the transfer piece 2 in the standby position immersed in the gap of the disk 1a of the receiving apparatus 1 is rotated B by the motor 8, and the sliced meat pieces m are projected on the surface of the receiving apparatus 1 by a number of combs 2b of the transfer piece 2. Lift from 6 and tear off. As the rotation B of the transfer piece 2 proceeds, the sliced meat m hangs down along the comb bar 2b and is transferred to the placement position of the sliced meat piece m of the conveyor 3 in a folded state. Placed on top.
[0017]
Here, when the pressing tool 4 is advanced by the air cylinder 11 with guide, the lowermost end (elastic wire 12a) of the stopper 12 comes into contact with the surface of the sliced meat piece m, and the stopper 12 sequentially resists its own elasticity. Pushed up. When the lower end surface of the pressing tool 4 reaches the position shown in FIG. 4A where the lower end surface of the pressing meat 4 reaches the surface of the sliced meat piece m and is in an appropriate pressing state, the pressing tool 4 is stopped. The restraining tool 12 (elastic wire 12a) at this time is in the state of the phantom line shown in FIG. 3, and presses the sliced meat piece m from above together with the pressing tool 4 (angle material 4a).
[0018]
Next, the transfer piece 2 is moved back to the E position by the air cylinder 9 with guide. Since the sliced meat piece m is pressed by the pressing tool 4 and the restraining tool 12, the sliced meat piece m is not pulled and moved by the comb bar 2b of the transfer piece 2. Next, the pressing tool 4 is retracted to the upper standby position by the air cylinder 11 with guide. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4B, the angle member 4a of the pressing tool 4 is first separated from the sliced meat piece m, but the restraining tool 12 (elastic wire 12a) is in a state of pressing the sliced meat piece m by its own elasticity. is there. As the pressing tool 4 moves away from the sliced meat piece m, the restraining tool 12 is released from the repressed state, and gradually moves away from the sliced meat piece m from the side fixed to the pressing tool 4. That is, since the restraining tool 12 moves behind the pressing tool 4, even if the sliced meat piece m, which is soft and sticky, adheres to the pressing tool 4 and tries to move, the restraining tool 12 moves the sliced meat piece m to the conveyor 3. Press to stop the movement of the sliced meat piece m.
[0019]
When the pressing tool 4 retreats to the upper standby position, the flat belt 3a of the conveyor 3 moves forward by a predetermined distance and feeds the sliced meat piece m. The transfer piece 4 returns to the standby position immersed in the gap of the disk 1a of the receiving device 1.
[0020]
Such a series of operations of the respective parts is continuously repeated in cooperation with each other based on a preset program.
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, in the slice meat piece transfer device equipped with a pressing tool that presses the sliced meat piece placed on the conveyor from above, the movement of the sliced meat piece attached to the pressing tool is moved. Since the restraining tool to be restrained is provided in a position close to the pressing tool so that it can be moved back and forth, the restraining tool is configured to be retracted later than the pressing tool, so that even a sliced meat piece that is soft and rich in adhesiveness can be used. There will be no disruption in subsequent work without disturbing.
[0021]
Further, the restraining tool is composed of an elastic wire having a shape in which one end is fixed to the pressing tool, the other end is in a free state, and the vertical distance from the lower end surface of the pressing tool is gradually extended toward the tip. For example, as the pressing tool is retracted, the restraining tool is released from the pressure state and gradually separated from the sliced meat piece m from the fixing side to the pressing tool, so that the sliced meat piece m does not adhere to the restraining tool and the posture of the sliced meat piece m is not disturbed. .
[0022]
Further, if the restraining device is configured as a pair symmetrically in the left-right direction when viewed from the transfer direction, the restraining device is gradually separated from the substantially central portion of the sliced meat piece m toward both ends as the pressing tool moves backward. Since it goes, the separation from the sliced meat piece m of the stop is good.
