Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is characterized in that two alternating disposable chopsticks cut out from a flat plate material by a disposable chopstick cutting section are sequentially sent out in the same direction. The present invention relates to a delivery mechanism in a disposable chopstick manufacturing device.

[Conventional technology]

Disposable chopsticks are manufactured by using a flat plate cut from logs and having the front and back sides cut according to the length and thickness of the disposable chopsticks to be manufactured. Make cuts b, b... to cut into the shape of disposable chopsticks, and make dividing cuts c, c... in the center, leaving the required area of the top side edge, and further cut in the center as necessary. A groove for chamfering is cut to produce disposable chopsticks a as shown in Fig. 9, which are then finished by chamfering, etc.

Conventionally, in manufacturing disposable chopsticks as described above, a cutter stand equipped with a cutter for cutting a flat plate material and a cutter for cutting in the center for making dividing cuts c, c, etc. is used as a guide for abutting the flat plate material. The chopsticks were moved back and forth along the same line, and one disposable chopstick (one set) was cut out each time the cutter table was moved back and forth. However, it is extremely inefficient, low productivity, and extremely troublesome to cut out and manufacture one piece for each cutting operation by reciprocating the cutter table in this way. Therefore, the present applicant has developed a disposable chopstick manufacturing device in which two disposable chopsticks are cut out in alternating directions for each cutting action in the disposable chopstick cutting section, which was published in Japanese Patent Application No. 59-220995 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 220-995). No. 61-98505).

This disposable chopstick manufacturing device includes a guide member having a guide side surface that can abut the cut-out side end surface of disposable chopsticks of a flat plate material from the side, and a locking part for positioning the flat plate material;
A cutter base is provided that reciprocates in the longitudinal direction along the guide member, and the cutter base is provided with two blades in alternating directions at the end of the flat plate material that contacts the guide member.
It is equipped with first and second cutting cutters for cutting into the disposable chopstick portions of books, and first and second center cutting cutters for making dividing cuts in the centers of the two disposable chopstick portions, and further includes a cutter stand. A feeding means that pinches two disposable chopsticks cut out in alternating directions from above and below by the running action of the cutter base in one direction, and sends them out along the guide member by the running action of the cutter stand in substantially the opposite direction. is provided.

In the above-mentioned device, the flat plate material is brought into contact with the guide side surface of the guide member in a state where the cutter base, which reciprocates along the guide member, is at a position opposite to the locking part from the abutting set position of the flat plate material. When the first and second cutting cutters and each other are connected to each other and set in position by locking one end of the cutter base to the locking portion, the cutter base moves toward the front side of the device where the locking portion is located. Then, perform a diagonal cutting action to the opposite side to cut the end of the flat plate material that contacts the guide member into two disposable chopstick parts in alternating directions, and at the same time, cut the cutter base. The first and second center-splitting cutters equipped with the cutters leave a required range of the top side end portions of the chopsticks in the alternating directions to be cut as described above. The cutting action is performed on the center of each disposable chopstick portion.

Furthermore, 2
The book disposable chopsticks are clamped from above and below by the feeding and holding means provided on the cutter stand, and then fed out from the set point of the flat plate material by the return action of the cutter stand in the opposite direction, and further, at the feeding stop position, two chopsticks are After the chopsticks on one side of the disposable chopstick case are temporarily held by the holding means, they fall down in a downward chute, and on this chute, they descend from one end first, and are transported from the one end side by a conveying means such as a belt. Immediately, the disposable chopsticks are conveyed toward the other end, and as a result, the disposable chopsticks are reversed and conveyed,
When the cutter stand moves again, the other disposable chopsticks that separate from the clamping means and fall are collected in the same direction.
In other words, two disposable chopsticks cut out in alternating directions are collected in the same direction.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the above-mentioned disposable chopsticks manufacturing device, it is possible to collect two disposable chopsticks cut out in alternating directions with the directions aligned, but as a disposable chopsticks manufacturing device, it is necessary to perform chamfering and finishing processing after cutting and manufacturing. It has been impossible to continuously supply disposable chopsticks to other processing machines.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and after cutting out the disposable chopsticks, it is possible to sequentially send out two disposable chopsticks cut out in alternating directions separately and in the same direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a feeding mechanism in a disposable chopstick manufacturing apparatus that is continuously equipped with a processing device for chamfering, etc., and can sequentially supply disposable chopsticks to the processing device in the same direction.

[Means to solve the problem]

At the same time, the other disposable chopstick a1, which is oriented in the opposite direction to the one disposable chopstick a2,
It is pressed between the guide section 24 and roller section 25 of the reversing section 26 . Then, by driving the intermittent rotation means 28, the shaft portion 27 is reversed and the shaft portion 27 is rotated.
As the inverting section 26 is inverted, the inverting section 26 supported thereby is inverted, and at the same time, the moving means 29
The reversing part 26 is moved forward in the axial direction by
With this inverted part 26 inverted, the other disposable chopstick a
1 is placed at the disposable chopstick feeding position relative to the feeding section 23, and the other disposable chopstick a1 is transferred from the reversing section 26 to the feeding section 23 in the same direction as the one disposable chopstick a2, and is sent out by the feeding section 23. . Thereafter, the reversing section 26 is reversely reversed by the driving of the intermittent rotation means 28, and is moved backward by the moving means 29 to return to the initial state, and the above-described feeding operation is successively performed.

In this way, the two disposable chopsticks cut out by the disposable chopstick cutout part in alternating directions can be sent out one after another in the same direction, and the disposable chopsticks can be sent to the machine for the next process such as the next chamfering finishing process. can be supplied in the same direction.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, one of the two disposable chopsticks cut out by the disposable chopstick cutout part in the alternating direction is sent out in the same direction, and the other disposable chopstick in the opposite direction is sent out with respect to the one disposable chopstick. By inverting the disposable chopsticks so that they face the same direction as the other disposable chopsticks, it is possible to send out the two disposable chopsticks individually in the same direction, and therefore, the disposable chopsticks facing the same direction can be continuously sent to a mechanical device for post-processing such as chamfering. can be supplied sequentially. Therefore, it is possible to continuously equip a post-processing machine to construct a manufacturing machine that continuously and consistently processes from cutting out disposable chopsticks to finishing them, and it is possible to improve the manufacturing efficiency of this type of disposable chopsticks.
