Description

本願発明は、各種果菜をサイズ別、形状別、糖度別など規格(等階級)別に選別するための自動選別装置に関するものであり、特にトマト、桃、梨、茄子、メロン、小玉西瓜などの果菜の選別に適したものである。   The present invention relates to an automatic sorting device for sorting various fruit vegetables according to standards (equal class) such as size, shape, sugar content, etc. Especially fruit vegetables such as tomatoes, peaches, pears, eggplants, melons, and Kodamanishi. It is suitable for sorting.

トマトなどの果菜を選別する装置として、図7に示すものがある。これはチェーン(無端搬送帯)1に多数の果菜キャリア2が連結されており、各キャリア2の上面が可倒式の受皿となり、果菜3をこの受皿の上においてキャリア2に供給すると、搬送途中に計測部で等階級が判別され、その判別信号に基づいて、所定の仕分け用の果菜引受け体(ベルトコンベアやテーブル)4のところで受皿が横転され、果菜3が転がりながら果菜引受け体4上にプールされ、仕分けされるというものである。   As an apparatus for selecting fruit vegetables such as tomatoes, there is an apparatus shown in FIG. This is because a large number of fruit vegetable carriers 2 are connected to a chain (endless conveyance belt) 1, and the upper surface of each carrier 2 becomes a collapsible saucer. In the measuring section, the equal class is discriminated, and on the basis of the discrimination signal, the tray is rolled over at a predetermined sorter fruit acceptor (belt conveyor or table) 4 and the fruit vegetables 3 roll on the fruit acceptor 4.
