Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、水産練り原料やその他の練り原料の中にゴボウやその他の芯材を埋め込んだ巻きぐるみ練り製品の製造に際し、移送コンベアで搬送される成型練り原料上に芯材を供給するための芯材供給装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、成型練り原料上に芯材を供給するための芯材供給装置としては、例えば、特開平８−１１６９２９号公報や特開平８−１４０６３５号公報に記載されたものが知られている。
これら従来の芯材供給装置には、成型練り原料を一定の載置ピッチで載置して搬送する移送コンベアの上方に受け板（又はシャッタ）が設けられ、そして、この受け板上に順次に送られてくる芯材をシリンダ（又は押し下げハンマ）によって次々に成型練り原料上に落下させるようにしたものであった。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の芯材供給装置では、移送コンベア上の成型練り原料が受け板の下方を通過するタイミングを見計らってシリンダにより芯材を受け板から落下させる必要がある。
このように、搬送中の成型練り原料に対して芯材を受け板から落下させる方式では、芯材を受け板から落下させるタイミング設定が難しく、特に、作業能率を向上させるために移送コンベアによる成型練り原料の搬送速度を高速にした場合には、成型練り原料に対する芯材の落下位置にズレが生じたり、着地後に転がって位置がズレたり、成型練り原料上に落下せずに芯材抜けが発生するなどの問題が生じる。
【０００４】
本発明では、上記した従来の問題点を解決するためになされたもので、移送コンベアによる搬送中の成型練り原料に対して確実に芯材を落下供給することができるようにした巻きぐるみ練り製品の芯材供給装置を提供することを課題としている。
【０００５】
又、この芯材供給装置に対する芯材の渡し作業を確実にしながら、熟練を要することなく手作業で余裕を持って確実に芯材を載せ入れることができるようにした芯材供給装置を提供することを課題としている。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、本発明（請求項１）の巻きぐるみ練り製品の芯材供給装置は、
移送コンベアの上面移行部に一定の載置ピッチで載置されて搬送される成型練り原料上に芯材を供給するための芯材供給部と、この芯材供給部に芯材を渡すための芯材渡し部を備え、
前記芯材供給部は、前記移送コンベアと同一あるいは近似の速度で移行し、移送コンベアの上面移行部に対向する下側移行部が移送コンベアの上面移行部と同一方向に移行するように移送コンベアの上方に設けられた芯材供給コンベアと、
この芯材供給コンベアとの間に芯材ガイド空間を保持して芯材供給コンベアの下向き回行部から下側移行部に沿って延在するように設けられた芯材供給ガイドを備え、
前記芯材供給コンベアに、前記芯材ガイド空間内に突出する芯材供給片が、前記成型練り原料の載置ピッチと同一あるいは近似の配設ピッチで突設され、
前記芯材渡し部は、前記芯材供給コンベアの上側移行部に対向する下側移行部が芯材供給コンベアの上側移行部と同一方向に移行するように芯材供給コンベアの上方に設けられた芯材渡しコンベアと、
この芯材渡しコンベアとの間に芯材ガイド空間を保持して芯材渡しコンベアの下向き回行部から下側移行部に沿って延在するように設けられた芯材渡しガイドを備え、
前記芯材渡しコンベアに前記芯材ガイド空間内に突出する多数の芯材渡し片が芯材供給片の配設ピッチよりも短い配設ピッチで突設され、
前記芯材供給コンベアが芯材供給片の１配設ピッチを移行する間に、芯材渡しコンベアが芯材渡し片の１配設ピッチを移行するようにタイミング設定されている構成とした。
【０００７】
この場合、芯材供給コンベアに、芯材供給片の前方に芯材保持間隔を保持して芯材保持片が突設されている態様（請求項２）があるし、又、芯材供給コンベアの下向き回行部を形成するコンベア軸に、芯材供給片の前方に芯材保持間隔を保持する状態で芯材ガイド空間を回動する芯材保持片が突設されている態様（請求項３）がある。
【０００８】
この芯材供給装置（請求項１）の芯材供給部は、芯材を芯材供給コンベア上の芯材供給片間に渡すもので、その渡された芯材は、芯材供給片により押されて芯材供給コンベアの下向き回行部へと移送され、ここで芯材供給ガイド上に乗せ替えられる。
この芯材供給ガイドは、芯材供給コンベアの下向き回行部から下側移行部に沿って延在するように設けられているため、芯材は芯材供給片により押されながら芯材供給ガイド上を摺動する状態で芯材ガイド空間を芯材供給ガイドの終端まで移行し、ここで自然落下して移送コンベア上の成型練り原料上に落下する。
この場合、芯材供給ガイド上の芯材の移行速度は芯材供給片の移動速度、即ち芯材供給コンベアの移行速度であり、この芯材供給コンベアの移行速度が移送コンベアの移行速度と同一あるいは近似の速度であるため、成型練り原料と芯材とは同一速度あるいは近似の速度で同一方向に移行することになる。
このように、芯材を成型練り原料と同一速度あるいは近似の速度で移行させながら落下させるため、芯材を落下させるタイミングの設定に際し、成型練り原料と芯材の位置関係を調整するだけでよく、そのタイミング設定を簡単にしながら高速運転でも確実に芯材を成型練り原料上に落下供給させることができる。
【０００９】
尚、芯材保持片を設けると（請求項２及び請求項３）、芯材を芯材保持間隔内に保持することができ、芯材の姿勢を安定させることができるし、芯材が芯材供給コンベアの下向き回行部を移行する際に芯材供給ガイド上を勢いよく滑って、芯材供給片で押されるよりも先に落下してしまうといったトラブルを防止できる。
【００１０】
この芯材供給装置（請求項１）の芯材渡し部は、芯材を芯材渡しコンベア上の芯材渡し片間に載せ入れるもので、その載せ入れられた芯材は、芯材渡し片により押されて芯材渡しコンベアの下向き回行部へと移送され、ここで芯材渡しガイド上に乗せ替えられる。
この芯材渡しガイドは、芯材渡しコンベアの下向き回行部から下側移行部に沿って延在するように設けられているため、芯材は芯材渡し片により押されながら芯材渡しガイド上を摺動する状態で芯材ガイド空間を芯材渡しガイドの終端まで移行し、ここで自然落下して芯材供給コンベア上に落下する。
この場合、芯材供給コンベアが芯材供給片の１配設ピッチを移行する間に、芯材渡しコンベアが芯材渡し片の１配設ピッチを移行すればよいため、芯材渡しコンベアの移行速度を芯材供給コンベアの移行速度よりも遅くすることができる。
【００１１】
高速運転で芯材を供給するには、芯材供給コンベアを高速で移行させる必要があり、これに伴い手作業により芯材供給コンベア上に直接に芯材を渡す場合には、その渡し作業を手早くする必要が生じ、その作業に熟練を要することになる。
そこで、この芯材渡し部を使用すると、上述のように、芯材渡しコンベアの移行速度を遅くできるため、この芯材渡しコンベア上への芯材の載せ入れに時間的な余裕が生じ、熟練を要することなく、手作業で確実に芯材の載せ入れができる。
又、芯材渡し部から芯材供給部への芯材の渡しについても、芯材供給コンベアが芯材供給片の１配設ピッチを移行する間に、芯材渡しコンベアが芯材渡し片の１配設ピッチを移行すればよいため、受渡しのタイミングに時間的な余裕が生じ、芯材渡し部から芯材供給部に芯材を確実に渡すことができる。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面により説明する。図１は本発明の実施の第１形態に係る芯材供給装置を示す側面図、図２は図１のＡ−Ａ断面図である。
【００１３】
図において、１は移送コンベアで、図外の練り原料成型装置から巻き付け装置に至るように延在して設けられ、その途中の上方に芯材供給部２及び芯材渡し部６を備えた芯材供給装置が設けられている。
従って、練り原料成型装置で扁平な方形状に成型された成型練り原料Ｂ（例えば魚肉摺り身）は、移送コンベア１の上面移行部１０に一定の載置ピッチＰで載置されて搬送され、その搬送途中で成型練り原料Ｂ上に芯材供給部２及び芯材渡し部６によって芯材Ｃ（例えばゴボウ）が供給され、その後、巻き付け装置に搬送されて棒状に丸められ、内部に芯材Ｃが埋設された巻きぐるみ練り製品（例えばゴボウ天）に成型される。尚、図中Ｄは押えローラであって、芯材供給部２により成型練り原料Ｂ上に載置された芯材Ｃを押さえて成型練り原料Ｂの表面に食い込ませるもので、芯材供給部２よりも先方において移送コンベア１の上方に設けられている。
【００１４】
前記芯材供給部２は、芯材供給コンベア３と芯材供給ガイド４を主たる構成として備えている。
芯材供給コンベア３は、移送コンベア１の上方に軸支されたコンベア軸３０，３０間にベルト３１が掛け回されて、その下側移行部３２が移送コンベア１の上面移行部１０に対向して同一方向に同一速度あるいは近似の速度で移行するように形成されている。
又、この芯材供給コンベア３には、成型練り原料Ｂの載置ピッチＰと同一あるいは近似の配設ピッチＰ１で２個の芯材供給片３３，３３が突設されている。
【００１５】
又、前記芯材供給ガイド４は、芯材供給コンベア３の下向き回行部３４に対向する湾曲ガイド部４１と、芯材供給コンベア３の下側移行部３２に対向する直線ガイド部４２を備え、芯材供給コンベア３との間に芯材ガイド空間４３を保持して芯材供給コンベア３の下向き回行部３４から下側移行部３２に沿って延在するように設けられている。
【００１６】
又、前記芯材供給コンベア３の上方に、この芯材供給コンベア３の上側移行部３５に対向して芯材受けガイド５０が設けられ、又、芯材供給コンベア３の上側移行部３５の両側部及び芯材ガイド空間４３の両側部にそれぞれサイドガイド５１，５２が設けられている。
【００１７】
尚、前記した芯材供給片３３は、芯材受けガイド５０よりも上方に突出すると共に、芯材ガイド空間４３を横断して突出するように芯材供給コンベア３に突設されている。
【００１８】
又、この芯材供給片３３の前方には、芯材保持間隔３６を保持して芯材保持片３７が芯材供給コンベア３に突設され、この芯材保持片３７は芯材供給片３３よりもその突出高さが低く形成されている。
【００１９】
前記芯材渡し部６は、芯材渡しコンベア７と芯材渡しガイド８を主たる構成として備えている。
芯材渡しコンベア７は、前記した芯材供給コンベア３の上方に軸支されたコンベア軸７０，７０間にベルト７１が掛け回されて、その下側移行部７２が芯材供給コンベア３の上側移行部３５に対向して同一方向に移行するように形成されている。
又、この芯材渡しコンベア７には、前記芯材供給片３３の配設ピッチＰ１よりも短い配設ピッチＰ２（Ｐ１＝１５×Ｐ２）で多数の芯材渡し片７３が突設され、そして、前記芯材供給コンベア３が芯材供給片３３の１配設ピッチＰ１を移行する間に、芯材渡しコンベア７が芯材渡し片７３の１配設ピッチＰ２を移行するようにタイミング設定されている。
【００２０】
又、前記芯材渡しガイド８は、芯材渡しコンベア７の下向き回行部７４に対向する湾曲ガイド部８１と、芯材渡しコンベア７の下側移行部７２に対向する直線ガイド部８２を備え、芯材渡しコンベア７との間に芯材ガイド空間８３を保持して芯材渡しコンベア７の下向き回行部７４から下側移行部７２に沿って延在するように設けられている。
【００２１】
又、前記芯材渡しコンベア７の上方に、この芯材渡しコンベア７の上側移行部７５に対向して芯材受けガイド５５が設けられ、又、芯材渡しコンベア７の上側移行部７５の両側部及び芯材ガイド空間８３の両側部にそれぞれサイドガイド５６，５７が設けられている。
【００２２】
尚、前記した芯材渡し片７３は、芯材受けガイド５５よりも上方に突出すると共に、芯材ガイド空間８３を横断して突出するように芯材渡しコンベア７に突設されている。
【００２３】
又、芯材渡しガイド８の終端には、芯材受け金具９が取り付けられ、この芯材受け金具９には、芯材渡しガイド８の終端から落下した芯材Ｃを前記芯材保持片３７よりも低い位置で受け止める下側受け部９１と、この下側受け部９１よりも前方で芯材保持片３７よりもやや高く、芯材供給片３３よりも低い位置で芯材Ｃを支持する上側支持部９２が設けられている。
ここで、下側受け部９１を上側支持部９２よりも低く位置させることにより、芯材渡しガイド８の終端から落下した芯材Ｃを確実に受け止め、落下による芯材Ｃの芯材受け金具９からの逸脱を避けることができる。
【００２４】
この芯材渡し部６及び芯材供給部２を用いて芯材Ｃを移送コンベア１上の成型練り原料Ｂ上に落下供給させるには、まず、芯材Ｃを芯材渡しコンベア７の上側移行部７５において、芯材渡し片７３，７３間に載せ入れることになる。
この芯材渡し片７３，７３間に載せ入れられた芯材Ｃは、芯材受けガイド５５上で芯材渡し片７３により押されて芯材渡しコンベア７の下向き回行部７４へと移送され、ここで芯材渡しガイド８上に乗せ替えられる。
そして、引き続き芯材渡し片７３により押されながら芯材渡しガイド８上を摺動する状態で芯材ガイド空間８３を芯材渡しガイド８の終端まで移行し、ここで芯材受け金具９の下側受け部９１に落下する。
【００２５】
この場合、芯材渡しコンベア７は、芯材供給コンベア３が芯材供給片３３の１配設ピッチＰ１を移行する間に、芯材渡し片７３の１配設ピッチＰ２（Ｐ１／１５）を移行すればよいため、芯材渡しコンベア７の移行速度を芯材供給コンベア３の移行速度よりも大幅に遅くすることができる。
従って、この芯材渡し部６を使用すると、上述のように芯材渡しコンベア７の移行速度を遅くできるため、この芯材渡しコンベア７上への芯材Ｃの載せ入れに時間的な余裕が生じ、熟練を要することなく、手作業で確実に芯材Ｃの載せ入れができる。
又、芯材渡し部６から芯材供給部２への芯材Ｃの渡しについても同様に、芯材供給コンベア３が芯材供給片３３の１配設ピッチＰ１を移行する間に、芯材渡しコンベア７が芯材渡し片７３の１配設ピッチＰ２を移行すればよいため、受渡しのタイミングに時間的な余裕が生じ、芯材渡し部６から芯材供給部２に芯材Ｃを確実に渡すことができる。
【００２６】
尚、芯材渡し部６から芯材供給部２への芯材Ｃの渡しは、前記芯材受け金具９を介して行なわれる。
即ち、上述のようにして芯材受け金具９の下側受け部９１に落下した芯材Ｃは、芯材供給コンベア３の移行に伴い、芯材供給片３３によって押され、芯材供給コンベア３の上側移行部３５において芯材保持間隔３６内に保持された状態で芯材受けガイド５０上に落下する。
【００２７】
このようにして芯材渡し部６から芯材供給部２に渡された芯材Ｃは、芯材保持間隔３６内に保持されたまま芯材受けガイド５０上を芯材供給片３３により押されて芯材供給コンベア３の下向き回行部３４へと移送され、ここで芯材供給ガイド４上に乗せ替えられる。
そして、引き続き芯材供給片３３により押されながら芯材供給ガイド４上を摺動する状態で芯材ガイド空間４３を芯材供給ガイド４の終端まで移行し、ここで自然落下して移送コンベア１上の成型練り原料Ｂ上に落下する。
【００２８】
この場合、芯材供給ガイド４上の芯材Ｃの移行速度は芯材供給片３３の移動速度、即ち芯材供給コンベア３の移行速度であり、この芯材供給コンベア３の移行速度が移送コンベア１の移行速度と同一あるいは近似の速度であるため、成型練り原料Ｂと芯材Ｃとは同一速度あるいは近似の速度で同一方向に移行することになる。
このように、芯材Ｃを成型練り原料Ｂと同一速度あるいは近似の速度で移行させながら落下させるため、芯材Ｃを落下させるタイミングの設定に際し、成型練り原料Ｂと芯材Ｃの位置関係を調整するだけでよく、そのタイミング設定を簡単にしながら高速運転でも確実に芯材Ｃを成型練り原料Ｂ上に落下供給させることができる。
尚、巻きぐるみ練り製品の製造に際し、成型練り原料Ｂが移送コンベア１０上を搬送されるタイミングと、芯材供給部２が芯材Ｃを落下させるタイミングは、機械的あるいは電気的な手段を用いて、完全に合致するように構成されており、一旦、位置関係の調整を行なえば、落下した芯材Ｃと、移送コンベア１０上を搬送されてくる成型練り原料Ｂとの位置ズレが運転中に生じることはない。
【００２９】
又、芯材Ｃを芯材保持間隔３６内に保持したまま移行させると、芯材Ｃの姿勢を安定させることができるし、芯材Ｃが芯材供給コンベア３の下向き回行部３４を移行する際に芯材供給ガイド４上を勢いよく滑って、芯材供給片３３で押されるよりも先に芯材供給ガイド４から落下してしまうといったトラブルを防止できる。
【００３０】
次に、図３は本発明の実施の第２形態に係る芯材供給装置を示す側面図である。
この場合の芯材供給部２は、芯材供給コンベア３の下向き回行部３４を形成するコンベア軸３０に、芯材供給片３３の前方に芯材保持間隔３６を保持する状態で芯材ガイド空間４３を回動する芯材保持片３８が突設されている。
【００３１】
従って、芯材Ｃを芯材ガイド空間４３に保持した状態で、芯材供給コンベア３の下向き回行部３４を移行させることができるため、芯材Ｃが芯材供給ガイド４上を勢いよく滑るのを防止することができる。尚、その他の構成及び作用は実施の第１形態と同様であるため、図面の符号を同一にして説明を省略する。
【００３２】
以上、本発明の実施の形態を図面により説明したが、具体的な構成はこれに限定されることはない。
又、移送コンベア上には、処理量を多くするために成型練り原料を複数列で載置させるのが一般的であり、この場合には、成型練り原料の列数に対応した列数で芯材を供給することになる。尚、成型練り原料及び芯材を１列にすることを制限するものではない。
又、成型練り原料としては、魚肉摺り身等の水産練り原料のほか、畜肉練り原料や乳練り原料、菓子用練り原料を用いることができるし、芯材についても、ゴボウやニンジン等の野菜の他、果物、イカやタコ等の水産物、卵等を用いることができる。
【００３３】
【発明の効果】
以上説明してきたように、本発明（請求項１）の芯材供給装置にあっては、芯材供給部を上記のように構成したので、芯材を成型練り原料と同一速度あるいは近似の速度で移行させながら落下させることができる。
従って、芯材を落下させるタイミングの設定を簡単にしながら高速運転でも確実に芯材を成型練り原料上に落下供給させることができるという効果が得られる。
また、芯材渡し部を上記のように構成したので、芯材渡しコンベアの移行速度を芯材供給コンベアの移行速度よりも遅くすることができる。
従って、この芯材渡しコンベア上への芯材の載せ入れに時間的な余裕が生じ、熟練を要することなく、手作業で確実に芯材の載せ入れができる。
又、芯材渡し装置から芯材供給装置への芯材の渡しについても、受渡しのタイミングに時間的な余裕が生じ、芯材渡し装置から芯材供給装置に芯材を確実に渡すことができるという効果が得られる。
【００３４】
尚、芯材保持片を設けると（請求項２及び請求項３）、芯材を芯材保持間隔内に保持することができるため、芯材の姿勢を安定させることができるし、芯材が芯材供給コンベアの下向き回行部を移行する際に芯材供給ガイド上を滑るのを防止することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention, upon winding overstuffed production of paste products with embedded burdock and other core in a marine kneading raw materials and other kneading raw materials, wick for supplying core on molding kneading material conveyed by the transfer conveyor The present invention relates to a material supply device .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a core material supply device for supplying a core material onto a molding kneading raw material, for example, those described in JP-A-8-116929 and JP-A-8-140635 are known.
In these conventional core material supply devices, a receiving plate (or shutter) is provided above a transfer conveyor that places and conveys the molded kneaded raw material at a fixed mounting pitch, and the receiving plate is sequentially placed on the receiving plate. The sent core material was dropped onto the molding and kneading material one after another by a cylinder (or a push-down hammer).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional core material supply device, it is necessary to drop the core material from the receiving plate by the cylinder in anticipation of the timing when the molding kneaded material on the transfer conveyor passes below the receiving plate.
Thus, in the method of dropping the core material from the receiving plate with respect to the molding kneaded material being conveyed, it is difficult to set the timing for dropping the core material from the receiving plate, and in particular, molding by a transfer conveyor to improve work efficiency If the conveying speed of the kneaded material is increased, the core material will be displaced relative to the molded kneaded material, or the position may be shifted after landing, or the core material may be removed without falling onto the molded kneaded material. Problems occur.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described conventional problems, and is a rolled kneaded product that can reliably supply the core material to the molded kneaded material being conveyed by the transfer conveyor. It is an object to provide a core material supply device.
[0005]
Further, there is provided a core material supply device that can securely insert a core material with a margin by hand without requiring skill, while ensuring the operation of transferring the core material to the core material supply device. It is an issue.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem , a core material supply device for a wound and kneaded product of the present invention (Claim 1) is:
A core material supply unit for supplying the core material onto the molding kneaded raw material that is placed and conveyed at a constant mounting pitch on the upper surface transition portion of the transfer conveyor, and for passing the core material to the core material supply unit With a core passing part,
The core material supply section moves at the same or approximate speed as the transfer conveyor, and the lower transfer section facing the upper transfer section of the transfer conveyor moves in the same direction as the upper transfer section of the transfer conveyor. A core material supply conveyor provided above,
A core material supply guide provided to extend along the lower transition part from the downward circulation part of the core material supply conveyor while holding the core material guide space between the core material supply conveyor,
In the core material supply conveyor, a core material supply piece protruding into the core material guide space is protruded with an arrangement pitch that is the same as or approximate to the placement pitch of the molding kneaded raw material,
The core material transfer portion is provided above the core material supply conveyor so that a lower transition portion facing the upper transition portion of the core material supply conveyor moves in the same direction as the upper transition portion of the core material supply conveyor. A core material transfer conveyor;
A core material transfer guide provided to extend along the lower transition part from the downward circulation part of the core material transfer conveyor while holding the core material guide space between the core material transfer conveyor,
A large number of core material transfer pieces projecting into the core material guide space are protruded from the core material transfer conveyor at an arrangement pitch shorter than the arrangement pitch of the core material supply pieces,
While the core material supply conveyor shifts one arrangement pitch of the core material supply pieces, the timing is set so that the core material transfer conveyor moves one arrangement pitch of the core material supply pieces .
[0007]
In this case, the core material supply conveyor has a mode in which the core material holding piece projects from the core material supply piece in front of the core material supply piece (Claim 2), and the core material supply conveyor. A core material holding piece that rotates the core material guide space in a state in which the core material holding interval is held in front of the core material supply piece is projected on the conveyor shaft that forms the downward turning portion (claim). 3).
[0008]
Press the core supply portion of the core supply apparatus (claim 1) is intended to pass the core material to the core material supply pieces on the core supply conveyor, that passed core material, the core material feed piece Then, it is transferred to the downward turning section of the core material supply conveyor, where it is transferred onto the core material supply guide.
Since the core material supply guide is provided so as to extend along the lower transition portion from the downward circulation portion of the core material supply conveyor, the core material supply guide is pressed while being pressed by the core material supply piece. The core material guide space moves to the end of the core material supply guide in a state of sliding on the top, where it naturally falls and falls onto the molding material on the transfer conveyor.
In this case, the transition speed of the core material on the core material supply guide is the movement speed of the core material supply piece, that is, the transition speed of the core material supply conveyor, and the transition speed of the core material supply conveyor is the same as the transition speed of the transfer conveyor. Or since it is an approximate speed | rate, a shaping | molding kneading raw material and a core material will transfer to the same direction at the same speed or an approximate speed.
In this way, the core material is dropped while shifting at the same speed as the molding kneading raw material or an approximate speed, so it is only necessary to adjust the positional relationship between the molding kneading raw material and the core material when setting the timing for dropping the core material. The core material can be surely dropped and supplied onto the kneaded material even at high speed operation while simplifying the timing setting.
[0009]
If a core material holding piece is provided (claims 2 and 3), the core material can be held within the core material holding interval, the posture of the core material can be stabilized, and the core material can be a core. It is possible to prevent a trouble that the core supply guide slides vigorously when the material supply conveyor moves downward, and falls before being pushed by the core material supply piece.
[0010]
The core material delivery section of the core material supply device (Claim 1) is for placing the core material between the core material delivery pieces on the core material delivery conveyor, and the core material placed thereon is the core material delivery piece. And is transferred to the downward turning portion of the core material transfer conveyor, where it is transferred onto the core material transfer guide.
Since this core material delivery guide is provided so as to extend from the downward turning portion of the core material delivery conveyor along the lower transition portion, the core material delivery guide is pushed while being pushed by the core material delivery piece. The core material guide space is moved to the end of the core material transfer guide in a state of sliding on the top, where it naturally falls and falls onto the core material supply conveyor.
In this case, while the core material supply conveyor moves one arrangement pitch of the core material supply pieces, the core material transfer conveyor only needs to move one arrangement pitch of the core material supply pieces. The speed can be made slower than the transition speed of the core material supply conveyor.
[0011]
In order to supply the core material at high speed, it is necessary to move the core material supply conveyor at a high speed. When handing the core material directly onto the core material supply conveyor by hand, the transfer operation is required. It becomes necessary to be quick, and the work requires skill.
Therefore, if this core material transfer section is used, the transition speed of the core material transfer conveyor can be slowed as described above, so that there is a time margin for placing the core material on the core material transfer conveyor, and skilled The core material can be securely loaded by hand without the need for it.
Also, with respect to the transfer of the core material from the core material transfer section to the core material supply section , the core material transfer conveyor is moved to the position of the core material transfer piece while the core material supply conveyor shifts one arrangement pitch of the core material supply pieces. Since it is only necessary to shift one arrangement pitch, a time margin is generated in the delivery timing, and the core material can be reliably delivered from the core material delivery part to the core material supply part .
[0012]

Side guides 51 and 52 are provided on both sides of the core part and the core material guide space 43, respectively.
[0017]
The core material supply piece 33 protrudes above the core material receiving guide 50 and projects from the core material supply conveyor 3 so as to protrude across the core material guide space 43.
[0018]
Further, in front of the core material supply piece 33, a core material holding piece 37 is protruded from the core material supply conveyor 3 while holding the core material holding interval 36. The protrusion height is formed lower than that.
[0019]
The core material transfer section 6 includes a core material transfer conveyor 7 and a core material transfer guide 8 as main components.
In the core material transfer conveyor 7, a belt 71 is wound around the conveyor shafts 70, 70 supported on the upper side of the above-described core material supply conveyor 3, and a lower transition portion 72 is an upper side of the core material supply conveyor 3. It is formed so as to face the transition part 35 and to move in the same direction.
The core material transfer conveyor 7 has a large number of core material transfer pieces 73 projecting at an arrangement pitch P2 (P1 = 15 × P2) shorter than the arrangement pitch P1 of the core material supply pieces 33, and The timing is set so that the core material transfer conveyor 7 shifts one arrangement pitch P2 of the core material transfer piece 73 while the core material supply conveyor 3 shifts one arrangement pitch P1 of the core material supply piece 33. ing.
[0020]
The core material passing guide 8 includes a curved guide portion 81 facing the downward turning portion 74 of the core material passing conveyor 7 and a linear guide portion 82 facing the lower transition portion 72 of the core material passing conveyor 7. Further, the core material guide space 83 is held between the core material transfer conveyor 7 and the core material transfer conveyor 7 is provided so as to extend from the downward circulation portion 74 along the lower transition portion 72.
[0021]
Further, a core material receiving guide 55 is provided above the core material transfer conveyor 7 so as to face the upper transition portion 75 of the core material transfer conveyor 7, and both sides of the upper transition portion 75 of the core material transfer conveyor 7. Side guides 56 and 57 are provided on both sides of the core part and the core material guide space 83, respectively.
[0022]
The core material transfer piece 73 protrudes above the core material receiving guide 55 and protrudes from the core material transfer conveyor 7 so as to protrude across the core material guide space 83.
[0023]
A core material receiving bracket 9 is attached to the end of the core material passing guide 8, and the core material C dropped from the end of the core material passing guide 8 is attached to the core material receiving bracket 9. A lower receiving portion 91 that is received at a lower position, and an upper side that supports the core material C at a position slightly higher than the core material holding piece 37 and lower than the core material supply piece 33 in front of the lower receiving portion 91. A support portion 92 is provided.
Here, by positioning the lower receiving portion 91 lower than the upper support portion 92, the core material C dropped from the end of the core material transfer guide 8 is reliably received, and the core material receiving metal 9 of the core material C due to dropping is received. Deviations from can be avoided.
[0024]
In order to drop and supply the core material C onto the molding material B on the transfer conveyor 1 using the core material transfer section 6 and the core material supply section 2 , first, the core material C is shifted to the upper side of the core material transfer conveyor 7. In the part 75, it is placed between the core material transfer pieces 73 and 73.
The core material C placed between the core material transfer pieces 73 and 73 is pushed by the core material transfer piece 73 on the core material receiving guide 55 and transferred to the downward turning portion 74 of the core material transfer conveyor 7. Here, it is transferred onto the core material transfer guide 8.
Then, the core material guide space 83 is moved to the end of the core material delivery guide 8 while being slid on the core material delivery guide 8 while being pressed by the core material delivery piece 73. It falls to the side receiving part 91.
[0025]
In this case, the core material transfer conveyor 7 sets the one arrangement pitch P2 (P1 / 15) of the core material transfer piece 73 while the core material supply conveyor 3 shifts the one arrangement pitch P1 of the core material supply piece 33. Since it is only necessary to shift, the transition speed of the core material transfer conveyor 7 can be significantly slower than the transition speed of the core material supply conveyor 3.
Accordingly, when the core material transfer section 6 is used, the transition speed of the core material transfer conveyor 7 can be slowed as described above, so that there is a time margin for placing the core material C on the core material transfer conveyor 7. Thus, the core material C can be surely loaded manually without requiring skill.
Similarly, for the delivery of the core material C from the core material delivery unit 6 to the core material supply unit 2 , the core material supply conveyor 3 moves while the core material supply piece 33 shifts one arrangement pitch P <b> 1. Since the transfer conveyor 7 only needs to shift one arrangement pitch P2 of the core material transfer piece 73, a time margin is generated in the delivery timing, and the core material C is reliably transferred from the core material transfer unit 6 to the core material supply unit 2. Can be passed to.
[0026]
The core material C is transferred from the core material transfer section 6 to the core material supply section 2 through the core material receiving bracket 9.
That is, the core material C dropped on the lower receiving portion 91 of the core material receiving bracket 9 as described above is pushed by the core material supply piece 33 along with the transition of the core material supply conveyor 3, and the core material supply conveyor 3. The upper transition part 35 falls onto the core material receiving guide 50 while being held in the core material holding interval 36.
[0027]
Thus, the core material C delivered from the core material transfer section 6 to the core material supply section 2 is pushed by the core material supply piece 33 on the core material receiving guide 50 while being held in the core material holding interval 36. Then, it is transferred to the downward turning section 34 of the core material supply conveyor 3 where it is transferred onto the core material supply guide 4.
Then, the core material guide space 43 is moved to the end of the core material supply guide 4 while being slid on the core material supply guide 4 while being pushed by the core material supply piece 33, where it naturally falls and the transfer conveyor 1 It falls on the upper molding material B.
[0028]
In this case, the transition speed of the core material C on the core material supply guide 4 is the movement speed of the core material supply piece 33, that is, the transition speed of the core material supply conveyor 3, and the transition speed of the core material supply conveyor 3 is the transfer conveyor. Since the speed is the same as or approximate to the transition speed of 1, the forming and kneading raw material B and the core material C shift in the same direction at the same speed or an approximate speed.
As described above, the core material C is dropped while being transferred at the same speed or approximate speed as the molding kneading raw material B. Therefore, when setting the timing for dropping the core material C, the positional relationship between the molding kneading raw material B and the core material C is determined. It is only necessary to adjust the timing, and the core material C can be reliably dropped and supplied onto the molding material B even during high-speed operation while simplifying the timing setting.
Note that the timing at which the molded kneaded raw material B is transported on the transfer conveyor 10 and the timing at which the core material supply unit 2 drops the core material C in the manufacture of the rolled kneaded product is by mechanical or electrical means. It is configured to completely match, and once the positional relationship is adjusted, the positional deviation between the dropped core material C and the molding kneaded material B conveyed on the transfer conveyor 10 is in operation. It does not occur.
[0029]
Further, if the core material C is transferred while being held in the core material holding interval 36, the posture of the core material C can be stabilized, and the core material C moves to the downward turning portion 34 of the core material supply conveyor 3. In doing so, it is possible to prevent a trouble that the core material supply guide 4 slides vigorously and falls from the core material supply guide 4 before being pressed by the core material supply piece 33.
[0030]
Next, FIG. 3 is a side view showing a core material supply apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
In this case, the core material supply unit 2 has a core material guide in a state in which the core material holding interval 36 is held in front of the core material supply piece 33 on the conveyor shaft 30 that forms the downward circulation portion 34 of the core material supply conveyor 3. A core material holding piece 38 that rotates in the space 43 is provided in a projecting manner.
[0031]
Therefore, since the downward rotation part 34 of the core material supply conveyor 3 can be moved while the core material C is held in the core material guide space 43, the core material C slides on the core material supply guide 4 vigorously. Can be prevented. In addition, since the other structure and effect | action are the same as that of 1st Embodiment, the code | symbol of drawing is made the same and description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0032]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described with drawing, a specific structure is not limited to this.
In addition, in order to increase the amount of processing, it is common to place molding kneaded materials in a plurality of rows on the transfer conveyor. In this case, the number of rows corresponding to the number of rows of the molding kneaded materials is cored. The material will be supplied. In addition, it does not restrict | limit the shaping | molding kneading raw material and core material to 1 row.
In addition to fish kneaded raw materials such as fish meat paste, livestock kneading raw materials, milk kneading raw materials, kneading raw materials for confectionery can be used as molded kneading raw materials, and as for core materials, vegetables such as burdock and carrot In addition, fruits, marine products such as squid and octopus, eggs and the like can be used.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the rate of In the core material supply apparatus, since the core material supply unit configured as described above, the same speed or approximate the molding kneading raw core material of the present invention (claim 1) Can be dropped while moving.
Therefore, it is possible to obtain the effect that the core material can be reliably dropped and supplied onto the kneaded material even at high speed operation while simplifying the setting of the timing for dropping the core material.
Moreover, since the core material transfer unit is configured as described above, the transition speed of the core material transfer conveyor can be made slower than the transition speed of the core material supply conveyor.
Therefore, there is a time allowance for placing the core material on the core material transfer conveyor, and the core material can be reliably loaded manually without requiring skill.
Also, with regard to the delivery of the core material from the core material delivery device to the core material supply device, there is a time margin in the delivery timing, and the core material can be reliably delivered from the core material delivery device to the core material supply device. The effect is obtained.
[0034]
In addition, when the core material holding piece is provided (claims 2 and 3), the core material can be held within the core material holding interval, so that the posture of the core material can be stabilized, It is possible to prevent the core material supply guide from sliding on the core material supply conveyer when the core material supply conveyor moves downward.
