Description

本発明は、果実、野菜等の農産物を複数列に整列させて下流側の選別装置へ供給する整列供給装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an alignment supply device for arranging agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables in a plurality of rows and supplying them to a sorting device on the downstream side.

果実、野菜等の農産物は、複数の選別装置において大きさ別に仕分けされ、さらに不良品を除いた後、大きさごとに箱詰めするのが一般的なので、各選別装置へ均等に農産物を送り込むことが望ましい。
そこで、従来、供給コンベアの下流側に分配コンベアを接続し、分配コンベアの下流側に分散コンベアを接続し、さらにその末端部に複数列の速度可変コンベア及び整列コンベアを順次接続し、分配コンベアをその上流側端部を支点として幅方向に揺動可能とし、可変コンベアの搬送速度を可変とし、分散コンベア上の果実の偏りに応じて、分配コンベアを揺動させて分散コンベア上の果実の偏在を修正し、整列コンベアの果実の搬送量に応じて、速度可変コンベアの搬送速度を変更して各整列コンベアの搬送量を均等化する整列供給装置が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。 Agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables are sorted by size in multiple sorting devices, and after removing defective products, they are generally packed in boxes according to size. desirable.
Therefore, conventionally, a distribution conveyor is connected to the downstream side of the supply conveyor, a distribution conveyor is connected to the downstream side of the distribution conveyor, and a plurality of rows of variable speed conveyors and an alignment conveyor are sequentially connected to the end of the distribution conveyor. The upstream end is used as a fulcrum to swing in the width direction, the transport speed of the variable conveyor is variable, and the distribution conveyor is swung according to the bias of the fruits on the distributed conveyor to unevenly distribute the fruits on the distributed conveyor. (See Patent Document 1), which modifies the above and changes the transport speed of the variable speed conveyor according to the transport amount of fruits on the align conveyor to equalize the transport amount of each align conveyor (see Patent Document 1).

しかし、上記従来の整列供給装置は、分配コンベアそのものを揺動させると共に、全ての整列コンベアの上流側に速度可変コンベアを接続するので、装置全体の構造が複雑で大型化し、価格が高くつくばかりか、運転に必要なエネルギーも大きくなる。
また、全ての整列コンベアの搬送量を均等化するために、速度可変コンベアの搬送速度を遅くすると、下流側での作業効率が低下する心配もある。
さらに、不定形な農産物の場合は、整列供給装置に農産物が供給された時に積み重なっているとそのまま搬送されることになり、これを平らに均すためにコンベアに衝撃を加えると、農産物が傷つく恐れがある。 However, in the above-mentioned conventional alignment and feeding device, the distribution conveyor itself is swung and the speed variable conveyor is connected to the upstream side of all the alignment conveyors, so that the structure of the entire device is complicated and large, and the price is high. Or, the energy required for operation also increases.
Further, if the transfer speed of the variable speed conveyor is reduced in order to equalize the transfer amount of all the aligned conveyors, there is a concern that the work efficiency on the downstream side may decrease.
Furthermore, in the case of amorphous agricultural products, when the agricultural products are supplied to the alignment supply device, they will be transported as they are if they are stacked, and if an impact is applied to the conveyor to level them, the agricultural products will be damaged. There is a fear.

To provide.

本発明は、供給コンベアから供給される農産物を複数列に整列させて下流側へ供給する整列供給装置に関し、前記供給コンベアの下流側に接続される傾斜コンベアと、前記傾斜コンベアの下流側に設置され、前記傾斜コンベアで搬送された農産物を一列ずつ区分けして搬送する複数列の整列コンベアとを備え、前記傾斜コンベアは搬送方向下流側に向かって次第に高くなるよう傾斜し、傾斜コンベア上の農産物を幅方向に振り分ける複数の振り分け板がそれぞれ幅方向に移動可能に設置され、前記振り分け板より下流側に、前記傾斜コンベアで搬送される農産物の幅方向における偏りを測定する偏り監視装置が設置され、前記偏り監視装置が測定した農産物の偏りに応じて前記振り分け板が移動する。 The present invention relates to an aligned supply device that arranges agricultural products supplied from a supply conveyor in a plurality of rows and supplies them to the downstream side, and is installed on an inclined conveyor connected to the downstream side of the supply conveyor and on the downstream side of the inclined conveyor. Agricultural products conveyed by the inclined conveyor are divided into rows and conveyed, and the inclined conveyor is provided with a plurality of rows of aligned conveyors. A plurality of distribution plates for distributing in the width direction are installed so as to be movable in the width direction, and a bias monitoring device for measuring the deviation in the width direction of the agricultural products conveyed by the inclined conveyor is installed on the downstream side of the distribution plate. , The sorting plate moves according to the bias of the agricultural product measured by the bias monitoring device.

前記振り分け板は、平面視で、搬送方向上流側の頂部から搬送方向下流側に向かって次第に幅が広がる三角形をなすことがある。
前記振り分け板は、前記傾斜コンベアの幅方向中央領域、幅方向一側領域、及び、幅方向他側領域にそれぞれ設けられることが望ましい。
この場合、前記振り分け板は、前記傾斜コンベアの搬送方向の前段、中段及び後段にそれぞれ設置されてもよい。
前記傾斜コンベアの下流側に分散コンベアが接続され、該分散コンベアの末端部に複数列の前記整列コンベアが接続され、前記整列コンベア間の区画部の上流側端部から分散コンベアに向かって分配アームが幅方向に揺動可能に張り出され、前記整列コンベアで搬送される農産物の流量を測定する流量監視装置が設置され、前記流量監視装置が測定した前記整列コンベアの農産物の流量に応じて、前記分配アームを揺動させることがある。 In a plan view, the distribution plate may form a triangle whose width gradually widens from the top on the upstream side in the transport direction toward the downstream side in the transport direction.
It is desirable that the distribution plate is provided in the central region in the width direction, the one side region in the width direction, and the other side region in the width direction of the inclined conveyor, respectively.
In this case, the distribution plate may be installed in the front stage, the middle stage, and the rear stage in the transport direction of the inclined conveyor, respectively.
A distribution conveyor is connected to the downstream side of the inclined conveyor, a plurality of rows of the alignment conveyors are connected to the end of the distribution conveyor, and a distribution arm is connected from the upstream end of the section between the alignment conveyors toward the distribution conveyor.

本発明によれば、供給コンベアから農産物が積み重なった状態で供給されても、傾斜コンベアで搬送される間に上流側へ崩れて平らに均され、この時に農産物が受ける負荷も少なく、平らに均された農産物は振り分け板によって密度が偏らないよう幅方向に振り分けられるので、整列コンベアによって均等化された複数の列に整列されて搬送され、この結果、下流側における作業を効率よく行うことができる。
また、コンベア自体を揺動させたり、各列ごとに搬送速度を変えるものに比べて構造が簡単なので、装置がコンパクトで故障も少なく、イニシャルコスト及びランニングコストが低廉で済み、しかも、コンベアによる搬送速度が一定なので、下流側での作業効率が低下する心配もない。 According to the present invention, even if agricultural products are supplied in a stacked state from a supply conveyor, they collapse to the upstream side and are leveled flat while being conveyed by the inclined conveyor, and the load received by the agricultural products at this time is small and leveled flat. Since the produced agricultural products are distributed in the width direction by the distribution plate so that the density is not biased, they are arranged and transported in a plurality of rows equalized by the alignment conveyor, and as a result, the work on the downstream side can be efficiently performed. ..
In addition, since the structure is simpler than the one that swings the conveyor itself or changes the transfer speed for each row, the equipment is compact, there are few failures, the initial cost and running cost are low, and the transfer is performed by the conveyor. Since the speed is constant, there is no concern that the work efficiency on the downstream side will decrease.

以下、本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図１及び図２に示すように、本実施例の整列供給装置１は、図示しない洗浄装置を通過した後、供給コンベア２から供給される馬鈴薯（農産物）を複数列に整列させて下流側の選別装置へ供給するものであって、傾斜コンベア３と、分散コンベア４と、整列コンベア５とを備える。
選別装置は、各列ごとに馬鈴薯の大きさを判定する画像処理装置を備え、馬齢者は大きさによって異なるレーンに送られ、人手により不良品が除去された後、大きさごとに箱詰めされる。 Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the alignment supply device 1 of the present embodiment, after passing through a cleaning device (not shown), potatoes (agricultural products) supplied from the supply conveyor 2 are arranged in a plurality of rows on the downstream side. It is supplied to the sorting device and includes an inclined conveyor 3, a distributed conveyor 4, and an alignment conveyor 5.
The sorting device is equipped with an image processing device that determines the size of potatoes in each row, and the aged horses are sent to different lanes according to their size, and after the defective products are manually removed, they are boxed by size. ..

傾斜コンベア３は、ローラコンベアであり、供給コンベア２の下流側に接続される。本実施例では、平行な２列の傾斜コンベア３が供給コンベア２の末端部両側にベルトコンベア６を介して接続される。
ベルトコンベア６の搬送方向は、供給コンベア２及び傾斜コンベア３の搬送方向と直交しており、供給コンベア２の末端部両側に、それぞれ長いベルトコンベア６と短いベルトコンベア６が接続される。そして、２本のベルトコンベア６から傾斜コンベア３の幅方向両側にそれぞれ馬鈴薯が供給される。
また、傾斜コンベア３は搬送方向下流側に向かって次第に高くなるよう傾斜している。傾斜コンベア３の傾斜角度は５°程度とする。
従って、洗浄済みの馬鈴薯が供給コンベア２及びベルトコンベア６を通して傾斜コンベア３上に積み重なった状態で供給されても、傾斜コンベア３で搬送される間に上流側へ崩れ、平らに均される。 The inclined conveyor 3 is a roller conveyor and is connected to the downstream side of the supply conveyor 2. In this embodiment, two parallel rows of inclined conveyors 3 are connected to both ends of the supply conveyor 2 via a belt conveyor 6.
The transport direction of the belt conveyor 6 is orthogonal to the transport direction of the supply conveyor 2 and the inclined conveyor 3, and a long belt conveyor 6 and a short belt conveyor 6 are connected to both sides of the end portion of the supply conveyor 2, respectively. Then, potatoes are supplied from the two belt conveyors 6 to both sides of the inclined conveyor 3 in the width direction.
Further, the inclined conveyor 3 is inclined so as to gradually increase toward the downstream side in the transport direction. The tilt angle of the tilt conveyor 3 is about 5 °.
Therefore, even if the washed potatoes are supplied in a state of being stacked on the inclined conveyor 3 through the supply conveyor 2 and the belt conveyor 6, they collapse to the upstream side and are leveled flat while being conveyed by the inclined conveyor 3.

図３及び図４に示すように、傾斜コンベア３の搬送方向の前段、中段及び後段には、傾斜コンベア３の上面に接近して、傾斜コンベア３上の馬鈴薯を幅方向に振り分ける振り分け板７がそれぞれ設置される。
振り分け板７は、平面視で、搬送方向上流側の頂部から搬送方向下流側に向かって次第に幅が広がる三角形となっている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the front, middle, and rear stages of the inclined conveyor 3 in the transport direction, a distribution plate 7 that approaches the upper surface of the inclined conveyor 3 and distributes potatoes on the inclined conveyor 3 in the width direction is provided. Each is installed.
The distribution plate 7 has a triangular shape that gradually widens from the top on the upstream side in the transport direction toward the downstream side in the transport direction in a plan view.

図５及び図６に示すように、振り分け板７を支持する支持フレーム８は、傾斜コンベア３の両側に配設された側枠９の間に幅方向に沿って架設される。また、振り分け板７の上面に設けられた電動シリンダー１１が支持フレーム８に取り付けられ、電動シリンダー１１を駆動すると、振り分け板７が傾斜コンベア３の幅方向に移動するようになっている。
なお、電動シリンダー１１のガイド１０は、前段の支持フレーム８では、傾斜コンベア３の幅方向中央領域に設けられ、中段の支持フレーム８では幅方向一側領域に設けられ、後段の支持フレーム８では幅方向他側領域に設けられる。即ち、前段の振り分け板７は傾斜コンベア３の幅方向中央領域を移動し、中段の振り分け板７は幅方向一側領域を移動し、後段の振り分け板７は幅方向他側領域を移動する。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the support frame 8 that supports the distribution plate 7 is erected along the width direction between the side frames 9 arranged on both sides of the inclined conveyor 3. Further, an electric cylinder 11 provided on the upper surface of the distribution plate 7 is attached to the support frame 8, and when the electric cylinder 11 is driven, the distribution plate 7 moves in the width direction of the inclined conveyor 3.
The guide 10 of the electric cylinder 11 is provided in the center region in the width direction of the inclined conveyor 3 in the support frame 8 in the front stage, is provided in the one side region in the width direction in the support frame 8 in the middle stage, and is provided in the support frame 8 in the rear stage. It is provided in the other side area in the width direction. That is, the distribution plate 7 in the front stage moves in the central region in the width direction of the inclined conveyor 3, the distribution plate 7 in the middle stage moves in one side region in the width direction, and the distribution plate 7 in the rear stage moves in the other side region in the width direction.

図１及び図２に示すように、振り分け板７より下流側において、傾斜コンベア３の上方に、傾斜コンベア３で搬送される馬鈴薯の幅方向における偏りを測定する偏り監視装置１３が設置される。
偏り監視装置１３は、ＣＣＤカメラ等より成り、振り分け板７に取り付けた電動シリンダー１１の動きを制御する制御装置に接続される。
そして、この制御装置は、偏り監視装置１３で得た画像データにより、傾斜コンベア３の幅方向における馬鈴薯の密度を判定し、傾斜コンベア３上の馬鈴薯の密度ができるだけ均等になるよう、振り分け板７を移動させて馬鈴薯を密度の低い部分に集める。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a bias monitoring device 13 for measuring the bias in the width direction of the potatoes conveyed by the tilt conveyor 3 is installed above the tilt conveyor 3 on the downstream side of the distribution plate 7.
The bias monitoring device 13 is composed of a CCD camera or the like, and is connected to a control device that controls the movement of the electric cylinder 11 attached to the distribution plate 7.
Then, this control device determines the density of potatoes in the width direction of the inclined conveyor 3 from the image data obtained by the bias monitoring device 13, and the distribution plate 7 so that the density of potatoes on the inclined conveyor 3 is as uniform as possible. Move the potatoes to collect the potatoes in the less dense area.

分散コンベア４は、水平なベルトコンベアであり、各傾斜コンベア３の下流側に２列ずつ互いに平行に隣接して接続される。
また、分散コンベア４の末端部には複数列（本実施例では３列）の整列コンベア５が、互いに平行に隣接して接続される。整列コンベア５は、直列に接続した複数連のフィーダ、ベルトコンベア等である。
図７及び図８に示すように、整列コンベア５間の区画部の上流側端部から分散コンベア４に向かって分配アーム１４が張り出される。分配アーム１４は分散コンベア４の上面から立設され、分配アーム１４の下流側端部は、整列コンベア５間の隔壁１５の上流側端部に幅方向へ揺動可能に軸着されている。 The distribution conveyor 4 is a horizontal belt conveyor, and two rows are connected to each other on the downstream side of the inclined conveyor 3 in parallel and adjacent to each other.
Further, a plurality of rows (three rows in this embodiment) of alignment conveyors 5 are connected to the end of the distribution conveyor 4 in parallel and adjacent to each other. The alignment conveyor 5 is a plurality of feeders, belt conveyors, etc. connected in series.
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the distribution arm 14 projects from the upstream end of the section between the alignment conveyors 5 toward the distribution conveyor 4. The distribution arm 14 is erected from the upper surface of the distribution conveyor 4, and the downstream end of the distribution arm 14 is pivotally attached to the upstream end of the partition wall 15 between the alignment conveyors 5 so as to be swingable in the width direction.

また、図８及び図９に示すように、分配アーム１４の長さ方向中間部の上面にはそれぞれ電動シリンダー１６が設けられ、分散コンベア４の上方に幅方向に沿って架設されたフレーム１７に電動シリンダー１６のガイド１８が平行に取り付けられている。
従って、電動シリンダー１６を駆動すると、分配アーム１４の中間部が分散コンベア４の幅方向に移動し、分配アーム１４は下流側端部を中心に幅方向へ揺動する。なお、分配アーム１４の可動範囲は２０°〜２５°程度とする。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, electric cylinders 16 are provided on the upper surfaces of the intermediate portions in the length direction of the distribution arm 14, respectively, on a frame 17 erected above the distribution conveyor 4 along the width direction. The guides 18 of the electric cylinder 16 are attached in parallel.
Therefore, when the electric cylinder 16 is driven, the intermediate portion of the distribution arm 14 moves in the width direction of the distribution conveyor 4, and the distribution arm 14 swings in the width direction around the downstream end portion. The movable range of the distribution arm 14 is about 20 ° to 25 °.

図１及び図２に示すように、整列コンベア５の上方には、整列コンベア５で搬送される馬鈴薯の流量を測定する流量監視装置１９が設置される。流量監視装置１９は、ＣＣＤカメラ等より成り、分配アーム１４に取り付けた電動シリンダー１６の動きを制御する制御装置に接続される。
この制御装置は、流量監視装置１９で得た画像データにより、整列コンベア５の馬鈴薯の流量を判定し、全ての整列コンベア５の流量ができるだけ均等になるよう分配アーム１４を揺動させ、流量が少ない整列コンベア５の入口部分が広がるようにする。
従って、整列コンベア５を通過した馬鈴薯は、均等な流量の複数の列に整列されて選別装置へ送られ、各列ごとに設置された画像処理装置がほぼ同じスピードで馬鈴薯の大きさを判定し、効率よく箱詰めすることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a flow rate monitoring device 19 for measuring the flow rate of potatoes conveyed by the alignment conveyor 5 is installed above the alignment conveyor 5. The flow rate monitoring device 19 is composed of a CCD camera or the like, and is connected to a control device that controls the movement of the electric cylinder 16 attached to the distribution arm 14.
This control device determines the flow rate of the horse bells of the alignment conveyor 5 from the image data obtained by the flow rate monitoring device 19, and swings the distribution arm 14 so that the flow rates of all the alignment conveyors 5 are as uniform as possible, and the flow rate is increased. The entrance portion of the small number of alignment conveyors 5 is widened.
Therefore, the potatoes that have passed through the alignment conveyor 5 are aligned in a plurality of rows with an equal flow rate and sent to the sorting device, and the image processing device installed in each row determines the size of the potatoes at almost the same speed. , Can be packed efficiently.

また、振り分け板７及び分配アーム１４は、電動シリンダー以外の周知の装置によって駆動することもできる。
勿論、本発明の整列供給装置は、馬鈴薯ではない農産物にも適用できる。 The specific structure of the present invention is not limited to the above examples.
