It is provided with a seaweed winding mechanism M3 for winding and a payout mechanism M4 for paying out the nori R wound with seaweed L to the next step by the seaweed winding mechanism M3. Further, an input unit 1 is provided in which the operator sets the operation of the seaweed supply device.

The seaweed supply mechanism M1 and the rice ball supply mechanism M2 constitute the seaweed supply device of the present embodiment. However, the seaweed supply device does not have to be composed of these two mechanisms M1 and M2, and may be provided with at least the seaweed supply mechanism M1.

In FIG. 2, the seaweed winding mechanism M3 includes a circular table 30 that rotates intermittently, and a folding type 31 that performs a predetermined operation according to the rotation of the table 30 and winds the seaweed L stepwise around the rice ball R. .. Further, the payout mechanism M4 includes a take-out unit 40 for taking out the rice ball R around which the seaweed L is wound from the table 30, and a transport unit 41 for transporting the rice ball R taken out by the take-out unit 40 to the next process.

A rice ball forming mechanism (not shown) for forming rice balls into a rice ball R having a predetermined shape and sending the rice balls to the rice ball supply mechanism M2 is connected to the seaweed-wrapped rice ball manufacturing apparatus provided with the seaweed supply device. However, when the worker brings the rice ball R directly to the rice ball supply mechanism M2, the cooked rice molding mechanism is not connected.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the seaweed supply mechanism M1 includes a seaweed hopper (seaweed accommodating portion) 10 for accommodating a seaweed laminated body LG composed of a plurality of laminated seaweed L in the form of rectangular sheets. , A suction pad (removal means) 11 that can raise and lower the seaweed L located at the bottom of the seaweed laminate LG by the suction hole 11a and take it out downward, and a transport unit that conveys the seaweed L taken out by the suction pad 11. (Transporting means) 12 and a pad (lifting means) 13 with seaweed that can be raised and lowered to adsorb the lower surface of the seaweed L transported by the transporting unit 12 and lift it to a predetermined height (height attached to the Omusubi R). It is equipped with. Further, the lower part of the seaweed hopper 10 can be moved to a horizontal support position for supporting the lower part of the seaweed laminate LG and a release position for releasing the support of the seaweed laminate LG by rotating downward from the support position. Nori seaweed support plate (support member) 14 is provided, and the above-mentioned suction pad 11 takes out the seaweed L located at the lowermost part of the seaweed laminated body LG when the seaweed support plate 14 is in the release position.

The shape of the seaweed L housed in the seaweed hopper 10 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be various shapes other than the rectangular shape as long as it is a sheet shape. Further, the seaweed accommodating shape of the seaweed hopper 10 may be made flexible so as to correspond to various shapes of seaweed L.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a chuck (grasping means) 20 for gripping the rice ball R of the rice ball supply mechanism M2 is provided in order to attach the seaweed L lifted by the pad 13 with seaweed to the rice ball R.

As shown in detail in FIG. 5, the transport unit 12 is provided between the suction pad 11 and the pad 13 with seaweed, and the pair of rails 12a on which the seaweed L travels and the seaweed L placed on the rail 12a are placed. It is provided with a slider (transfer portion) 12b that is pushed and sent from the suction pad 11 to the pad 13 with seaweed.

The rail 12a is set in a positional relationship in which the suction pad 11 and the pad 13 with seaweed are positioned upward when they are lowered, and are positioned downward when the suction pad 11 and the pad 13 with seaweed are lowered. Further, the slider 12b is attached to the cylinder 12ba arranged in parallel with the rail 12a, the rod 12bb that appears and disappears from the cylinder 12ba, and the seaweed L attached to the tip of the rod 12bb, and pushes the seaweed L from the suction pad 11 toward the seaweed pad 13. It is composed of a transport arm member 12bc.

Then, the transport arm member 12bc moves by the action of the extended rod 12bb being immersed in the cylinder 12ba, so that the seaweed L taken out from the seaweed hopper 10 is railed from the suction pad 11 while the free movement on both sides is restricted. It travels on 12a and is accurately transported directly above the pad 13 with seaweed.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the seaweed support plate 14 is arranged on the short side side of the seaweed L in the seaweed hopper 10 and rotates to the above-mentioned support position and release position. Further, the suction pad 11 is configured in a shape having a predetermined thickness arranged in parallel along the transport direction of the seaweed L, avoids interference with the rotating seaweed support plate 14 as described above, and further comprises the seaweed L. It is formed in a trapezoidal shape in which an inclined portion 11b for adsorbing by bending the long side side diagonally downward is formed.

Therefore, when the seaweed support plate 14 rotates to the release position and the suction pad 11 adsorbs the seaweed L at the bottom of the seaweed laminate LG, only the seaweed L at the bottom is bent diagonally downward on the long side. After that, when the seaweed support plate 14 returns to the support position, the seaweed support plate 14 supports the seaweed laminate LG excluding the seaweed L at the bottom, so that the adsorption pad 11 is only the seaweed L at the bottom. Can be reliably taken out, and an taking-out error (an error of taking out a plurality of Nori seaweed L at the same time) can be reduced.

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the suction holes 13a are also formed in the pad 13 with seaweed. Then, the lower surface of the seaweed L is attracted to the pad 13 with seaweed, lifted to a predetermined height, and is grasped by the chuck 20 and attached to the waiting rice ball R.

The pad 13 with seaweed maintains the suction state by the suction hole 13a even when the seaweed L is transported from the suction pad 11 to the pad 13 with seaweed, and its suction force is weaker than when the seaweed L is sucked. It is set to be. As a result, the seaweed L traveling on the rail 12a continues to be subjected to a weak downward force, so that the seaweed L traveling on the rail 12a is prevented from rising from the rail 12a, and stable traveling becomes possible.

The pad 13 with seaweed is formed with a plurality of groove portions 13b that are open upward. The groove portion 13b is for inserting the comb-shaped moving table 22a (FIGS. 3, 13 to 16), and the details will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 3, a dust collector (dust collecting means) 15 for collecting and removing dust (for example, seaweed residue) in the device is provided in the lower part of the seaweed supply mechanism M1. As shown in FIG. 8, the dust collector 15 stores the dust collecting unit 15a that captures the dust by the filter 15aa and the dust collected by the dust collecting unit 15a by discharging the air in the apparatus by an exhaust fan (not shown). It consists of a dust collection box.

Then, the exhaust fan of the dust collector 15 forms an air flow below the lead wire for transporting the seaweed L, so that the seaweed residue generated during the transportation of the seaweed L is collected. Further, since the seaweed residue and the like are also sucked into the suction holes 11a of the suction pad 11 and the suction holes 13a of the pad 13 with seaweed, the inside of the seaweed supply mechanism M1 is kept in a clean state.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the rice ball supply mechanism M2 includes the above-mentioned chuck 20 and a take-in conveyor 21 for taking in rice balls R from a cooked rice molding mechanism (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the chuck 20 is provided with a pair of chuck bodies 20a that are provided so as to be mutually openable and grip the side surfaces of the rice ball R, and an elevating and rotating portion that elevates and rotates the chuck body 20a in the horizontal direction. It is provided with a drive unit (not shown) for reciprocating between the 20b, the catching conveyor 21 of the chuck body 20a, and the seaweed L lifted by the pad 13 with seaweed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the chuck body 20a is moved by the drive unit to the intake position of the rice ball R on the intake conveyor 21, and then lowered by the elevating rotation unit 20b as shown in FIG. 10 to lower the rice ball R. To grasp. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the chuck body 20a capable of rotating in the horizontal direction is horizontally conveyed and rotated in the horizontal direction while moving in the direction of the pad 13 with seaweed, and the direction of the rice ball R is set to the next step. The direction is changed to be suitable for (the step of winding the seaweed L around the rice ball R by the seaweed winding mechanism M3), and the product stands by directly above the pad 13 with seaweed. That is, the pad 13 with seaweed rises and waits for the seaweed L to be attached.

Depending on the direction of acceptance of the rice ball R in the next step, it may not be necessary to change the direction of the rice ball R. At this time, it goes without saying that the rice ball R is not rotated by the chuck body 20a. Further, assuming such a case, the chuck main body 20a may not be provided with the rotation function of the rice ball R.

Since the rice ball R is molded (preliminary molding) by the gripping operation of the chuck body 20a, the shape of the rice ball R can be prevented from being deformed when the rice ball R is handled, and the quality of the product can be improved.

Further, since the horizontal orientation of the rice ball R is changed, it is not necessary to match the orientation of the rice ball R when it is conveyed by the take-in conveyor with the orientation of the rice ball R when it is sent to the next process. That is, when handling the triangular rice ball R as in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to set the tip of the rice ball R in the transport direction to be the top, for example. Therefore, the orientation of the rice ball R when it is taken into the take-in conveyor 21 from the cooked rice forming mechanism, which is an upstream connecting machine, is not limited to a specific direction. It becomes possible and versatility is improved.

Next, the operation of supplying seaweed by the seaweed supply device will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 12, the chuck 20 holding the rice ball R is not shown.

First, as shown in FIG. 12A, the suction pad 11 in the suction state is raised to lift the seaweed laminated body LG by the suction pad 11, and the seaweed support plate supporting the seaweed laminated body LG is supported. 14 is rotated from the support position to the release position.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12B, only the seaweed L located at the lowermost part of the seaweed laminate LG housed in the seaweed hopper 10 is adsorbed on the adsorption pad 11, and the long side thereof is bent downward. Become. With the seaweed L adsorbed in such a shape, the adsorption pad 11 is lowered, and the seaweed support plate 14 is rotated from the release position to the support position.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), the suction state is released while the suction pad 11 is descending. As a result, the seaweed L taken out by the suction pad 11 is placed on the rail 12a. Further, prior to transporting the seaweed L to the seaweed pad 13, the seaweed pad 13 has a weak suction force.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), the seaweed L on the rail 12a is transported from the suction pad 11 to the pad 13 with seaweed by the transport arm member 12bc of the slider 12b. At this time, since the pad 13 with seaweed has a weak suction force, the seaweed L can travel on the rail 12a in a state where the seaweed L is prevented from floating, and is accurately transported directly above the pad 13 with seaweed. Will be done.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 12 (e), the pad 13 with seaweed is raised with a strong suction force, and the lower surface of the seaweed L is adsorbed by the pad 13 with seaweed and attached to a predetermined height (pasted on rice ball R). Lift up to the desired height). As a result, the seaweed L is attached to the rice ball R that is held by the chuck 20 (FIG. 4) and is waiting. Further, the transport arm member 12bc returns to the suction pad 11 side.

If the seaweed L is attached, the chuck 20 releases the rice ball R and rises, and returns to the taking-in position of the rice ball R of the taking-in conveyor 21 again. Therefore, the seaweed L and the rice ball R are placed on the pad 13 with seaweed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the sheet-shaped seaweed L at the bottom of the seaweed laminate LG housed in the seaweed hopper 10 is taken out by the adsorption pad 11 and transported to the seaweed pad 13 with the seaweed. The lower surface of the seaweed L is attracted and lifted by the pad 13 so as to be attached to the rice ball R. Therefore, since the seaweed L is adsorbed on the pad 13 with seaweed and can be lifted without causing misalignment, twisting and misalignment when the seaweed L is attached to the rice ball R is suppressed, and the sheet-shaped seaweed L can be accurately obtained. It becomes possible to align with the rice ball R.

As shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, the rice ball R to which the seaweed L is attached is transferred to the seaweed winding mechanism M3, which is the next step, by the transfer unit (transfer means) 22.

In these drawings, the transfer unit 22 includes a comb-shaped moving table 22a and a moving type 22b interlocking with the moving table 22a. The moving table 22a enters the groove portion 13b formed in the above-mentioned pad 13 with seaweed, receives the rice ball R to which the seaweed L is attached from the pad 13 with seaweed, and moves to the next step. Further, the mobile type 22b moves to the next process while pressing the rice ball R.

That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the moving table 22a is inserted into the groove portion 13b of the pad 13 with seaweed, and as shown in FIG. 14, the moving type 22b is lowered to the rear part of the rice ball R. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the rice ball R to which the seaweed L is attached is pressed by the mobile type 22b and transferred to the moving table 22a. After that, as shown in FIG. 16, the moving table 22a and the moving type 22b move at the same time and are transferred to the next step (specifically, the circular table 30 for winding the seaweed L around the rice ball R).
