The present invention relates to a bag packing apparatus for leaf vegetables that allows a certain amount of leaf vegetable bundles to be accurately inserted into a bag that is supported by the machine body in a state in which it faces upward.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, leaf vegetable bagging apparatuses are known that perform operations of packing harvested spinach and komatsuna and other leaf vegetables into a bag and packing them into a bag.
[0003]
This conventional leaf vegetable bagging apparatus has a foldable bag made of a synthetic resin film or sheet, and its opening is expanded by an opening device or an expansion frame, and the expanded opening. The leafy vegetables weighed into a bundle of a predetermined weight by a separate weighing device are inserted into a bag that is supported by the aircraft while being bundled by hand. When the operation is completed, the expansion by the opening device or the expansion frame is released, the bag is removed from the machine body, the bag is replaced with a new bag, and the next leaf vegetable bundle is inserted.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above-mentioned conventional leaf vegetable bagging apparatus collects a bundle of leaf vegetables weighed to a predetermined weight into a bundle that can be inserted into a bag by an operator's palm, and combines them into a bundle. Since the palm of the hand is inserted into the bag through the opening of the bag and the insertion is completed, the hand is released and only the hand is extracted from the bag, so that there is a problem that workability is poor.
[0005]
For this purpose, a sheet-shaped sheet that is weighed with a weighing device or weighed with a skillful hand sensation is bent and deformed into a bowl shape that is bundled into a bundle instead of the palm of the hand. Place it on a support base or a flexible bowl-shaped base, move the base toward the bag that is supported by the aircraft, and insert the bowl-like base in the bag together. If the held vegetable vegetables are dropped into the bag, the work table can be replaced with the palm of the hand so as to wrap the leaf vegetables, so that workability can be improved.
[0006]
However, the support stand that holds leaf vegetables together in a bundle instead of the palm of the hand can be placed horizontally because the leaf vegetables are placed from above and moved with the leaf vegetables placed. Therefore, since the moving direction of the bag becomes a horizontal direction, there is a restriction that the bag must be supported by the airframe in a posture in which the opening of the bag faces in the horizontal direction. Then, when the support stand holding the leaf vegetables is inserted into the bag and the held leaf vegetables are pushed into the bag, the support stand is moved laterally and removed from the bag. In addition, there is a problem that the leaf vegetables packed in by the operation are drawn out and the packing operation is uncertain, and the bag after the leaf vegetables are packed is removed by the restoration operation of the opening device or the expansion frame. When the bag is removed from the bag support device, there arises a problem that separation of the bag after the bag packing from the bag support device becomes worse.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the conventional means, and is provided with a support base on which leaf vegetables are placed in a posture in which the leaf vegetables can be placed from above, and As a result, the supply of leafy vegetables is performed accurately with respect to the bag supported by the bag support device of the fuselage with the opening facing upward. It aims to provide a simple means.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, as means for achieving this object, a bag support device for supporting the bag in a posture in which the opening of the bag is directed upward is mounted on the body, and a predetermined amount of leaf vegetables is held. The bag support device includes a frame on which a supporting base is moved so as to be moved laterally by a moving device so that the moving device is erected and rotated, and the pedestal holding the leaf vegetables by the erected rotation of the frame. The lower end side of the support base is inserted into the bag by the operation of the moving device, and the leaf vegetables held by the support base are pushed into the bag by hand or a pushing device. it is intended to raise the bagging equipment of leafy vegetables to be.
