Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately eliminate and sort a grain of green soybean by setting the sorting gaps in the length wherein a grain of green soybean can not transfer to a sorting body side and arranging both the carrier of green soybeans and the sorting body side by side while holding the sorting gaps and erecting the partition guide bodies for controlling the carrier attitudes of a plurality of grains of green soybeans on the sorting gaps at every carrier guide in such a state that the classification guide bodies are parallel arranged side by side. CONSTITUTION:The carrier 2 of green soybeans and a sorting body 3 described below are arranged side by side while holding the prescribed sorting gaps. In the carrier 2 of green soybeans, carrier guides 1 for carrying green soybeans in the lengthwise direction are arranged side by side. The sorting body sorts and carries both a grain of green soybeans being a defective and a plurality of grains of green soybeans being an indefective. The width of the sorting gaps is set in the length wherein a plurality of grains of green soybeans transfer to the sorting body 3 side in such a state that these are stretched across it and a grain of green soybean can not transfer thereto. Further the classification guide bodies 22 for controlling the carrier attitudes of a plurality of grains of green soybeans in the right lengthwise direction are erected on the sorting gaps at every carrier guide in a state wherein the classification guide bodies 22 are parallel arranged side by side. Thereby both are surely sorted. In this case, sorting work is surely performed because a plurality of grains of green soybeans are always and rightly put in order and carried in the lengthwise direction.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an edamame sorting apparatus capable of sorting defective one-grain edamame and non-defective one-grain edamame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Applicants send edamame onto a sorting table having a large number of sorting bodies arranged side by side and swing the sorting table in the front-back direction to drop and sort defective green soybeans from between the sorting bodies. Sho 59
Although the edamame sorting apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 184981 was devised, even if the beans were ripe, there was a single grain that was a defective product, so that this sorting method could not yet exhibit excellent practicability.

[0003] A selection method is also known in which a single grain soybean is simply dropped and one grain soybean is dropped, as in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-1478, but such a method is correct when a multiple grain soybean crosses the selection gap. Even if compound edamame is dropped at an angle to the conveying direction in the longitudinal direction, even single edamame may be mistakenly transferred if the selection gap is narrowed to prevent this erroneous drop action. There is a drawback that sorting is not performed.

[0004]

The one edamame, which is treated as a defective product, is not constant in size or length, and is transported in various states. The applicant has developed various sorters, but after further improvement, he completed the present invention for accurately eliminating and sorting one edamame.

[0005]

The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A transport guide 1 for transporting green soybeans in the longitudinal direction.
And a sorting body 3 for sorting and transporting the green soybeans-carrying beans a, which is a defective product, and the good-grained soybeans-beans b, which are defective products, are provided side by side with a predetermined screening gap L. The width of the selection gap L is set so that the compound edamame b is transferred to the side of the selection body 3 while the one edamame a is not transferred, and the conveying position of the compound edamame is placed on the selection gap L. The present invention relates to an edamame sorting device, characterized in that partition guide bodies 22 for controlling the correct lengthwise direction are erected in parallel with each other for each conveyance guide 1.

[0007]

The green soybeans, which are finely moved by the swinging movement of the green soybean carrier 2 and are aligned between the transport guides 1 and transported, are aligned in the longitudinal direction, so that the center of gravity of the green soybeans is at the end portion of the green soybean carrier 2. When protruding to a position away from 2 ', it becomes the reason that the weight of the green soybean itself causes the green soybeans to drop downward from the terminal end 2'of the green soybean carrier 2.

However, when the sorting body 3 is provided side by side with the predetermined sorting gap L at the end portion 2'of the soybean carrier 2, the tall compound grain soybean b has its center of gravity at the end portion 2 of the soybean carrier 2. '
Before it comes off, the tip of the soybean reaches the first end edge 4'of the sorting body 3 and goes over the sorting body 3 from the terminal end 2'of the soybean carrier 2 to get over the sorting gap L and sort. Transferred to the body 3 side.

On the other hand, one grain green soybean a, which is short,
Since the center of gravity of the edamame carrier 2 deviates from the terminal end 2'of the edamame carrier 2 before the tip reaches the end of the edamame carrier 2, the edible soybean carrier 2 cannot be moved over the selection gap L and moved to the side of the sorter 3. It is directly dropped from the section 2'and selected.

At this time, since the partition guide bodies 22 provided upright for each of the transport guides 1 are arranged in parallel so as to correctly control the transporting posture of the compound grain edamame b in the longitudinal direction, the compound grain edamame b is divided into left and right partitions. It is sandwiched between the guide members 22 and 22 and is always conveyed in the correct longitudinal transporting posture, and when it goes over the sorting gap L, it does not have an obliquely bad transporting posture. Transferring to the sorting body 3 side is surely protected, and sorting of the defective one-grain edamame a and the non-defective compounded edamame b is ensured by overcoming the sorting gap L described above.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The illustrated embodiment will be described in detail.

A belt conveyor 6 is provided at the bottom of the hopper 5 into which edamame is put. A rotary impeller 7 is provided diagonally above the end of the belt conveyor 6 to prevent the green soybeans from overlapping and dropping at one time. The average drop is improved.

The belt conveyor 6 is driven by a motor 8 which is intermittently moved through a ratchet mechanism 9, and the impeller 7 is also rotated by the motor 8. Reference numeral 10 in the drawing is a belt tension adjusting mechanism. The green soybeans dropped from the belt conveyor 6 on average are distributed by the lower guide swash plate 11 to the distribution plate 12 placed in the superposed state on the initial end side of the green soybean carrier 2.
Introduced on.

The distribution plate 12 and the edamame carrier 2 are supported by a link mechanism 13 and a spring mechanism 14, and are swung back and forth by an eccentric mechanism 15 and a rod 16 thereof, and at the same time, they are slightly moved up and down. The green soybeans slide on the distribution plate 12 and the green soybean carrier 2 and gradually move forward. Since the bar-shaped guides 31 project in a zigzag manner at the end of the distribution plate 12, when edamame hits the bar-shaped guides 31 in a landscape orientation, the edamame is inclined either to the left or right so that the edamame is always conveyed in the longitudinal direction. Correct the orientation and send it to the edamame carrier 2. Since the edamame transfer body 2 is provided with the ridge-shaped transfer guides 1 in parallel, the edamame is fitted between the transfer guides 1 in the longitudinal direction, and the edamame is conveyed while sliding forward.

In the figure, reference numeral 17 is a drive motor for the edamame carrier 2, 18 is a support pillar for the carrier guide 1, 19 is a guide mounting portion, 20
Is a guide mounting frame.

A sorting body 3 is provided with a predetermined sorting gap L from the edamame carrier 2 and the sorting body 3 shown in the drawing forms an introduction side guide plate 3 "forming a edamame receiving portion 4 and an edamame leading portion. The guide-side guide plate 3 ′ is arranged in a mountain shape and the guide-side guide plate 3 ″ and the guide-side guide plate 3 ′ are formed in a mountain shape to form an initial end edge 4 ′ of the soybean-bean receiving portion 4. The drawing shows a case where the sorting gap L is arranged so as to cross the transport direction, and the sorting gap L has a length from the first end edge 4 ′ forming the top of the edamame receiving portion 4 to the end portion 2 ′ of the edamame carrier 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 21 is a sorting box for one edamame a which is installed below the end portion 2'of the soybean carrier 2, 23 is a mounting portion whose mounting height can be adjusted, 24 is a support plate, and 25 is a sorting gap. A long window for adjusting L, and 26 is an adjusting bolt for adjusting the width of the selection gap L so that one grain soybean a does not get over the selection gap L.

In the drawing, a gap S is also provided between the transport guides 1 of the green soybean carrier 2 so that the thin unripe green soybeans c may fall.
A selection box 27 for the immature edamame c is provided below the edamame carrier 2.
At this time, the gap S is formed to be gradually wider toward the end, and the pod portion a ′ of the one grain soybean a hangs down from the gap S, but the gap S is formed in a width such that the ripe one grain soybean or the multiple grain soybean b does not fall. Set.

Further, a downflow gutter 28 is provided on the side of the sorting body 3,
A selection box 29 for compound grain edamame b is provided below it. In the present invention, the sorting body 3 may be attached to the edamame carrier 2 attached to the edamame scraping machine 30 as shown in FIG.

[0020]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is configured as described above, one grain edamame can not get over the sorting gap between the edamame carrier and the sorting body, and therefore falls from the sorting gap, and the multiple grain edamame gets over the gap. Both are surely selected because they are guided to the selection body. At this time, since a partition guide body for controlling the conveying direction of the soybeans in the correct longitudinal direction is arranged in parallel on the sorting gap in parallel with the conveying direction of the soybeans for each conveying guide, the soybeans are always sandwiched between the left and right guide bodies and are always correct. It is transported with the posture controlled in the longitudinal direction, and the compound edamame is skewed on the selection gap. It does not have a bad conveyance posture, so the above-mentioned selection action overcoming the compound edamame selection gap is surely achieved. It becomes a superior green soybean sorter.
