In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the invention provides a distribution actuation means in order to enable reciprocation of a required length in a substantially horizontal state of a guide chute whose lower and upper ends are open and an inclined guide wall is formed between both upper and lower openings. A pole is disposed below the reciprocating center of the guide chute, and the pole is arranged to move the lower reciprocating center of the guide chute from one end of the pole to the other end. It is an object of the present invention to provide a locking device for distributing stuffed sausages to a rod, which is provided with a rod transfer means for supporting and transporting the sausages.

[Effect]

Thus, by manually or using any other suitable device, the continuous intestine-filled sausages are dropped and fed into the guide chute from above the guide chute, so that the continuous intestine-filled sausages are alternately passed from one end of the pole to the other end on both sides. Wieners can be sorted and locked.

Note that the stuffed wieners that are retained on the pole are fed to the next baking step by an appropriate method.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the details of the device for distributing and locking the stuffed wieners to the pole according to the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a filling machine, which feeds a continuous line of stuffed wieners S over a substantially constant length to a receiving table 2 extending from the base of the device of the present invention.

This length is, for example, a length that can be secured to one pole, and is wound and laminated as shown as 3 in the figure.
After being fed for one stop, the stuffed wieners S are fed from the rear end side to the next process on the extended base, which also extends the base of the device of the present invention.

The next step, 4 in the figure, is a supply conveyor.

This supply conveyor 4 has two parts on the top surface of the base in plan view.
The rows of endless rotary belt conveyors 5, 5 are set at least slightly smaller than the outer diameter on the long diameter side of the stuffed wieners S between opposing surfaces, and the moving direction of each belt conveyor 5, 5 on the opposing surface side are the same and are rotatably arranged side by side with the transition speeds set to be substantially the same.

Furthermore, this supply conveyor 4 is capable of handling stuffed wieners S of any outer diameter by making one row of belt conveyors 5 movable in order to change the dimension between opposing surfaces.

In the figure, 6 and 6 are the support shafts of the supply conveyor,
Reference numerals 7 and 7 denote belt deformation prevention members provided inside the belt conveyors 5 and 5 between the support shafts 6 and 6.

The continuous stuffed wieners S fed from the supply conveyor 4 are then fed to the guide chute 8 of the device for distributing and locking stuffed wieners to the poles of the present invention.

That is, the guide chute 8 is capable of sequentially dropping and supplying continuous stuffed wieners S, and under this feeding operation, the guide chute 8 is reciprocated by reciprocating for a required length in a substantially horizontal state. It is required to perform a distribution operation toward both sides of the pole 9 placed below the center of motion.

The guide chute 8 in the illustrated embodiment is the third
As shown in detail in Figures 4 and 5, a tapered cylindrical body whose upper end has a larger outer diameter than its lower end is formed into a shape in which one side is opened up and down 10, and an upper end opening 11 and a lower end are formed. The opening 12 is the fifth
It is formed into a semicircular shape in plan view as shown in the figure, and between the upper and lower end openings 11 and 12 is an inclined guide wall 13 whose inner diameter is reduced on the lower end side.

Such a guide chute 8 is connected to a distribution actuation means 14 for distributing the guide chute 8 to both sides of the pole 9 positioned below the lower end opening 12 as shown by the dashed line in FIG.

The illustrated distribution actuation means 14 has a guide elongated hole 15 fixed to the outer surface of the inclined guide wall 13 of the guide chute 8, and is connected to an arm 17 and a motor 18, which are pivoted 16 on a base between the guide elongated hole 15 and the fixed guide hole 15. A rotating disk 19 that can be rotated by a rotary disk 19, a crank arm 20 whose one end is eccentrically pivotally connected to the rotating disk 19, and one end of which is pivotally connected to the other end of the crank arm 20, and a guide elongated hole 15 of the arm 17 at the other end. The sliding arm 22 has a protruding pin 21 to be inserted into the sliding arm 22. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide chute 8 reciprocates in an arcuate trajectory by the distributing actuating means 14, but at both end positions of the reciprocating movement, the guide chute 8 is guided as shown by the dashed line in FIG. Lower end opening 12 of chute 8
It is preferable to set the reciprocating range of the guide chute 8 so that almost the entire portion of the guide chute 8 can be located above the lateral side of the pole 9.

In order to lock the stuffed wieners S falling and supplied from this guide chute 8 from one end side of the tube 9 to the other end side, the lower part of the reciprocating center position of the guide chute 8 is moved at a constant speed from one end side of the tube 9 to the other end side. A rod transfer means 23 is provided in order to transfer the material.

This rod transfer means 23 is disposed below the guide chute 8, and is parallel to a straight line passing horizontally in the direction to transfer the rod 9, that is, the center position of the reciprocating movement of the guide chute 8. Two guide rods 24, 24 arranged in parallel on the same horizontal plane with respect to the base, offset from the lower part of the straight line passing through, the guide rod 2
4 and 24 are inserted into through-holes formed in the lower part of the guide rods 24 and 24 so that they can slide in the length direction, and the upper ends of the guide rods 24 and 24 are inserted into the lower end opening 12 on the side and downward when the guide chute 8 is located at the center of reciprocating movement. The holding member 25 is set to be positioned at the center of the reciprocating movement of the chute 8 and guides the pole holding part in relation to a cylinder 26 attached to the lower surface to cantilever and support one end side of the pole 9. a chuck 27 provided on the upper end side of the holding member 25 in a state directly below the position;
In order to enable the holding member 25 to slide along the guide rods 24, 24, one end is fixed to the lower end of the holding member 25 parallel to the guide rods 24, 24, and the other end is secured to one end side of the rod 9 with a chuck 27. Rack 28 positioned toward the other end of Sao 9 when cantilevered
and a pinion 30 that meshes with the rack 28 associated with a motor 29 mounted on the base.

Thus, the guide chute 8 is operated to alternately distribute to both sides of the tube 9, and a continuous stream of intestine stuffed wiener S is dropped and supplied from the guide chute 8 while the tube 9 is being transported at a constant speed. It becomes possible to distribute and lock the intestine-stuffed sausages S alternately on both sides from one end to the other end.

Here, a sensor 31 for counting the connecting part of the stuffed sausage S or the number of unit sausages, etc. is positioned at a suitable place near the supply conveyor 4, and the supply speed of the stuffed sausage S and the reciprocating movement of the guide chute 8 are adjusted according to the counted value. By adjusting the speed, it is possible to automatically adjust the number of entrapped sausages S for one locking on the rod 9 or the locking interval.

In addition, numeral 32 in the figure is a transport conveyor of the rod 9 on which the stuffed wieners S are locked.
