Abstract

PURPOSE: To automatically remove a hanging bar for hanging a string-shaped object from the string-shaped object by conveying a mobile body while sliding it in the lengthwise direction of the hanging bar and while holding one terminal part of the hanging bar, by locking both the ends of the hanging bar with the lock part of the mobile object. CONSTITUTION: A mobile object 4 is provided with lock parts 41a and 42a for locking both the terminal parts of a hanging bar 1, on which a string-shaped object 2 is hung, and a stopper wall 42b is provided for suppressing the move of the string-shaped object 2 when removing the hanging bar 1 from the string- shaped object 2. Besides, along a slide rail 7, the mobile object 4 is attached so as to freely slide in the almost lengthwise direction of the hanging bar 1. Further, a conveying member 8 conveys the slide rail 7 almost perpendicularly to the lengthwise direction of the hanging bar 1. Besides, since the mobile object 4 is conveyed while being abutted, an abutting member 14 makes the mobile object 4 slide in the lengthwise direction of the hanging bar 1. Further, terminal part holding members 15 and 17 move the terminal part of the hanging bar 1 on the side of a guide member 14 in the almost same direction as the moving direction of the slide rail 7 while holding its terminal part.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a hanger for pulling out a string-like object from a hanger, such as a hanger on which a string-like object such as raw noodles is hung.

(Prior Art) String-like items such as raw noodles are sometimes handled by being hung on a hanging bar, which is a long and thin bar.

Taking fresh udon as an example, raw udon is first rolled into a thin plate by rolling it several times with a roller that contains 30-35% moisture, then the plate-shaped dough is rolled through multiple grooves. After cutting into a thin line with the attached roller, it is cut to an appropriate length.

The cut raw udon noodles are hung on a long and thin hanging rod in order to separate them into l* pieces, and the noodles are sent to the next process, such as drying or packaging, while being hung on the hanging rod.

The hanging rods are removed in the next process, but currently this work relies on manual labor. This is because there was no mechanical way to hold down the whole string-like object like raw udon when removing the hanging stick, and furthermore, simply pulling the hanging stick and pulling it out would not work because the noodles would shift to one side. This is because mechanical treatment was not possible due to such reasons. It was particularly difficult to mechanically remove the hanging stick when the noodles were wet, such as when raw noodles were being made.

On the other hand, in order to make it easier for general consumers to use, it has recently been considered to package fresh noodles into individual servings of one or two servings, but in order to do this mechanically, it is necessary to automatically attach the hanging bar. You will need a device to extract it.

(Object and Structure of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to automatically pull out a hanging rod on which a string-like object such as raw noodles is hung from the string-like object. do.

To achieve this objective, in the present invention.

A movable body having a locking part that locks both ends of a hanging bar on which a string-like object is hung, and a restraining wall that suppresses movement of the string-like object when the hanging bar is pulled out from the string-like object; A slide rail that is slidably attached in the length direction, a conveyance member that conveys the slide rail in a direction approximately perpendicular to the length direction of the hanging bar, and a moving body that is conveyed while coming into contact with each other. a guide member that slides the hanging rod in the length direction of the hanging rod, and an end holding member that holds the end of the hanging rod on the side of this guide member and moves it in substantially the same direction as the moving direction of the slide rail at the end. It was configured to have the following.

(Example) The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

The drawings show an example in which the hanging stick removing device according to the present invention is applied to a packaging process for raw udon noodles, and FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of the hanging stick removing device, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof.

In the figure, l is a hanging bar on which raw udon noodles 2 are hung, 3 is a conveyor belt that carries the hanging bar 1 with both ends of the hanging bar l placed on it, and 4
5.6 is a guide plate that guides the hanging rod 1 to the packet 4, 7 is a slide rail attached to the packet 4, and 8 is a packet for holding both ends of the slide rail 7. A supporting chain conveyor, 9 a pulley on which the chain conveyor 8 is stretched, 10 a rotating shaft to which the pulley 9 is fixed and rotates together with the pulley 9;
11 is a frame that supports the rotating shaft lO; 12 is a drive motor that rotates the rotating shaft lO via a chain 13; 14
is a packet guide plate that regulates the traveling direction of the packet 4.

A plurality of packets 4 and slide rails 7 are provided on a chain conveyor 8 at regular intervals. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the packet 4 consists of left and right side plates 41, 42, a rear plate 43, and a bottom plate 43, and the side plates 41, 42 are formed with notches 41a, 42a for locking the hanging rod l. There is. Furthermore, a resin block plate 42b is bonded to the inside of the side plate 42a to prevent the raw udon noodles 2 from moving together when the hanger l is pulled out. The packet 4 is attached to the slide rail 7 so as to be freely 118 times in the length direction of the slide rail 7 and not to be detached from the slide rail 7. The slide rail 7 is conveyed by the chain conveyor 8 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3, or the packet 4 is regulated in its traveling direction by the packet guide plate 14, so it is ultimately conveyed in the diagonal direction shown by arrow B in FIG. will be done.

15 is a conveyor belt driven by a drive motor (not shown) at the same speed and in the same rotational direction as the chain conveyor 8; 16 is a presser plate urged downward by a spring 17; The gap is set to be smaller than the diameter of the hanging rod l. 18 is a conveyor belt that conveys the hanging rod 1 that has been pulled out, and 19 is a drive motor that drives the conveyor belt 18. In FIG. 2, 20 is a chute into which the raw udon noodles 2 in the packet 4 are dropped, and the raw udon noodles 2 slide down the chute 20 and are stored in the container 21. 22 is a conveyor belt that conveys the container 21.

Now, when the raw udon noodles 2 are hung on the hanging rod l in the previous process and placed on the conveyor belt 3, the hanging rod l is guided by the guide plates 5 and 6 from the final end of the conveyor belt 3 and falls. stick l
Both ends of the packet 4 are stopped by the notches 41a and 42a of the packet 4, which is waiting at the vertical rising edge of the frame 11. After that, the bucket 4 is conveyed by the chain conveyor 8, and when the packet 4 moves to the horizontal part of the frame 11, the side plate 42 of the packet 4 comes into contact with the packet guide plate 14, so the packet 4 is pushed in the length direction of the slide rail 7. and moves in the diagonal direction shown by arrow B in FIG. on the other hand,
The end of the hanging rod l on the side plate 42 side is connected to the conveyor belt 15 and the presser plate 1.
6 and moves on the conveyor belt 15 while being pressed by the holding plate 16, the hanging rod l cannot slide laterally together with the packet 4 due to the frictional force between the two; It is gradually pulled out from packet 4. At this time, the raw udon noodles 2 try to move together with the hanging rod l, but are stopped by the block plate 42b and remain on the bottom plate 44. Further, since the conveyor belt 15 rotates in the same direction as the chain conveyor 8, the hanging rod l moves while rotating, and therefore the hanging rod l can be smoothly removed from the raw udon noodles 2. After the hanging rod 1 is completely extracted from the packet 4, it is placed on a conveyor belt 18, conveyed, and stored in a storage box (not shown).

Packet 4 is turned over at the rightmost end of chain conveyor 8 (see Figure 2), and is turned upside down into frame 1.
Move toward the vertical rising part on the left side of 1. At this time, the raw udon noodles 2 in the packet 4 are dropped into the chute 20.

The raw udon noodles 2 slide down the chute 20 and are stored in a container 21, and the container 21 is conveyed by a conveyor belt 22. Note that when the packet 4 is turned upside down and moved, it comes into contact with a guide plate 23 (indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1) provided on the back side, and moves laterally by the guide plate 14. It is pushed in the opposite direction and returned to its original position,
It waits again at the vertically rising portion of the frame 11.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically remove the hanging rod, which previously had to be done manually. In the above description, the present invention has been explained by taking the packaging process of fresh udon noodles as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be applied to other processes as long as a string-like material is hung on a hanging rod. Further, in the embodiment, the packet guide plate 14 is formed in a straight line, but it may be formed in a curved shape.For example, the angle of the guide plate with respect to the traveling direction of the packet 4 is initially made small, and the hanging rod is pulled out little by little. In the second half, the angle may be increased so that the hanging bar can be pulled out quickly. Furthermore, the shape of the guide plate may be made into a wave shape so that the hanging rod can be pulled out in stages.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, in the present invention, both ends of the hanging rod for hanging a string-like object are locked by the locking portion of the moving body, and the moving body is held while holding one end of the hanging rod. Since the hanging rod is configured to be conveyed while being slid in the length direction of the hanging rod, the hanging rod can be automatically pulled out from the string-like object.
