  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1A is a schematic perspective view showing a first embodiment of a flat seaweed bundle unveiling device of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a schematic side view thereof.

  The flat seaweed bundling device according to the present embodiment includes a flat seaweed transport device 1 that transports flat seaweed, a reversing device 2 that receives and reverses the transported flat seaweed, a predetermined number of flat seaweeds that are not reversed It consists of an aligning device 3 for stacking and aligning the number of flat seaweeds back to back and an unloading device 5 for unloading the flat seaweed bundles aligned by the aligning device. Between the flat seaweed conveying device 1 and the reversing device 2, a feed direction switching shutter 4 that rotates in the up and down direction for switching between feeding the flat seaweed to the reversing device 2 and feeding to the alignment device 3 is arranged.

  The reversing device 2 is composed of a belt 2b that is in contact with substantially half the circumference of the reversing drum 2a and the reversing drum 2a, and that presses flat seaweed between the reversing drum 2a and moves at the same speed as the reversing drum 2a. The flat laver which is sandwiched between 2b and rotated almost half-way is reversed and falls to the alignment device 3. In the aligning device 3, the aligning plate 3a is vibrated to align the flat seaweed bundles. The aligned flat seaweed bundles are carried out by the carry-out conveyor 5.

  Next, the operation of the flat seaweed bundling device of the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation of the flat seaweed bundling device of the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the upper laver L that has been transported by the transport conveyor 1 is placed between the reversing drum 2a and the holding belt 2b with the flat laver L on the front facing the reversing drum 4 in the horizontal direction. The sheet is fed, reversed by the rotation of the reversing drum 2a and the pressing belt 2b so that the lower side of the flat laver L is turned upside down, and dropped on the aligning device 3.

  By repeating this operation, the required number (50) of flat laver L is inverted and dropped onto the aligning device 3, and then the aligning plate 3a is vibrated and aligned as shown in FIG. 2 (b).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the plain laver L that is conveyed is left as it is in the alignment device 3 without being fed into the reversing drum 2a with the feeding direction switching shutter 4 at the tip of the conveyor 1 facing downward. Drop and place the lower side on the flat laver bundle L2. After repeating this operation and stacking a predetermined number (50 sheets), as shown in FIG. 2 (d), the flat plate laver bundle L2 (50 sheets) and the flat plate laver bundle L1 (upper) are aligned by the vibration of the alignment plate 3a. A flat seaweed bundle consisting of 50 sheets is obtained. Thereafter, the aligning plate 3a is lowered and carried out by the carry-out conveyor 5.

  FIG. 3 (a) is a schematic perspective view showing a second embodiment of the flat seaweed bundle displaying device of the present invention, and FIG. 3 (b) is a schematic side view thereof.

  This embodiment is different only in that a curved reversing shooter 6 is provided in place of the reversing drum of the first embodiment, and the same members as those in FIG. The reversing chute 6 has a curved cylindrical shape, and the flat seaweed fed from the feeding direction switching shutter 4 is reversed by passing through the reversing shooter 6 and falls to the alignment device 3.

The operation of the flat seaweed bundling device of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. When the upper side is flat nori, the flat seaweed is fed into the reversing shooter 6 with the feed direction switching shutter 4 on the reversing shooter 6 side. The flat seaweed is reversed so that the lower side becomes the front while passing through the reversing shooter 6 and falls to the aligning device 3. After the necessary number of flat seaweed bundles are inverted and dropped onto the alignment device 3, the alignment plate 3 a is vibrated and aligned by the alignment device 3.

  Next, the plain laver that is conveyed is dropped onto the alignment device 3 without passing through the reversing shooter 6 with the feed direction switching shutter 4 facing downward, and the lower side is superimposed on the flat laver bundle on the front. After a predetermined number of sheets are stacked, they are aligned by vibration of the aligning plate 3a. Then, it carries out with the carrying-out conveyor 5.
