Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is capable of sorting spherical objects such as fruits (mandarin oranges and plums) and elongated objects such as captured small fish (sardines, horse mackerels, mackerels, shirasu, lizards, shrimps, saury) by size. In particular, the present invention relates to a sorting machine for oscillating and vibrating non-sorted objects.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A conventional sorting machine is a sorting machine for fruits or the like that moves a round belt (Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-35093), or a capsule sorting machine with an inclined grid and many rails (Japanese Patent Publication No. 41-15919). As a fish sorter, an endless strip stretched fish catching device (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 52-78693) and an automatic fresh fish sorter having two-stage rotary rollers arranged (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 53-22097). ), And a rotary type fish sorting device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-117685) which also uses a rotary roller.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional sorter, when a large amount of non-sorted material is placed on the sorting member, the non-sorted material forms a layer, and the large non-sorted material on the lower side of the layer fills the space, making it impossible to sort. Therefore, when a large amount of non-sorted items are placed on the sorting member, it is necessary to manually sort the layers and sort, or unless elongated objects such as fish are arranged in parallel with the sorting member. It is transferred to the outlet side without being sorted. Therefore, sorting is labor-intensive, and is a device that reliably and efficiently sorts a large amount in a short time. Also, when sorting by a certain size suitable for each, the spacing between sorting members can be easily and immediately adjusted. The sorter was not in practical use.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the conventional technique, and an object thereof is to manually select a large amount of non-sorted objects on the sorting member. Therefore, it is not necessary to even out the layers, and it is possible to reliably and efficiently select a large number of elongated objects such as fish in a short time, and to sort by a certain size suitable for each. In the case of doing so, it is intended to provide a sorting machine in which the distance between the sorting members can be adjusted immediately and the entire apparatus can be downsized.

[0005]

[Means for solving the problem]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the sorting machine according to the present invention is formed by mountain-shaped partition plates, and a plurality of the sorting machines are arranged and mounted in parallel with each other or in such a manner that the intervals gradually widen toward the outlet. It is composed of a sorting member, a swinging device for swinging and vibrating the sorting member, and a driving device attached to a driving motor as driving means.

Further, it is preferable that a plurality of sorting members formed of rods and arranged in parallel with each other and attached are provided in the upper stage.

In addition, it is preferable to install a space adjusting device that changes the angle of the partition plate and adjusts the space between the sorting members.

[0008]

[Action]

 The operation of the sorting machine having the above structure will be described below. Now, using the non-sorted product as a supply means to the supply unit of the above sorter, the non-sorted product placed in a basket such as a belt conveyor or a container is put, and small fish etc. are directly supplied to the supply unit by a fish transfer pump. It is discharged together with water and sent to the sorting member.

The non-sorted material supplied onto the sorting member is parallel to the sorting member while entering the sorting member along the slope of the sorting member even if it is an elongated body such as a small fish because the sorting member has a mountain shape. Immediately aligned in the (vertical) direction.

The elongated members oriented in the direction (horizontal) orthogonal to the sorting member are aligned in the parallel (longitudinal) direction by the swinging motion of the sorting member while sliding down the sorting member, As it moves along the distance, objects larger than the spacing between the sorting members are led out from the lead-out section, and objects smaller than the spacing between the sorting members fall between the sorting members and are sorted by size.

When selecting small fish, it is effective to sprinkle water on the selecting member in order to prevent damage to the small fish and improve slippage on the selecting member.

Further, in order to swing and vibrate the sorting member by the swinging device and the driving device attached to the driving motor as the driving means, a small elongated body that can pass between the sorting members is orthogonal to the sorting member. It is possible to reduce the amount of non-sorted objects that are sent out without falling between the sorting members in the posture in which they are oriented in the direction (sideways). The large non-sorted material on the lower side of the layer does not close the gap, and the large non-sorted material is led out from the lead-out section to reliably sort it into large and small.

When a relatively large non-sorted product is mixed, for example, when sorting sardines, a bar material (mixed with the sardines to remove relatively large other fish (horse mackerel, mackerel, etc.)) The sorting member formed in 8) is provided in the upper stage and is connected to the lower stage by the connecting arm (11), and the bar (8) is also swung and vibrated by the lower swing device (5) and the drive device (4). Then, a relatively large non-sorted material is led out from the upper lead-out portion (10), and a small non-sorted material that can pass between the rods (8) is sorted by the lower sorting member (1).

In addition, when the sorting machine of the present invention sorts by a certain size suitable for each in order to increase the added value of the sorted products, by turning the handle (13) to the right or left, the space adjusting device ( By increasing or decreasing the angle of the partition plate in 12), it is possible to easily and immediately deal with widening or narrowing the spacing between the sorting members.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be exemplarily described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, unless otherwise specified, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative positions, etc. of the constituent parts described in this embodiment are intended to limit the scope of the present invention to only those parts. Not just an example. This sorter can be modified in various ways within the scope of the utility model registration request.

FIGS. 1 to 4 are views showing an example of a sorting machine of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the sorting member (1) is installed in a downward slope from the supply side to the outlet side or horizontally. In addition, a plurality of sorting members (1) arranged in parallel with each other or arranged such that the intervals gradually widen in the direction of the lead-out portion (7) and the sorting member (1) itself have a cross section. The shape is formed by a mountain-shaped partition plate.

As the partition plate, two flat plates are formed into a mountain shape, and a hinge is attached to the upper part thereof. The attachment points are usually attached to the supply section side and the lead-out section side, but they may be attached to the central portion or other plural points. In addition, the mountain-shaped upper part to which the hinge is attached is made of a different material, usually metal, but synthetic resin, rubber or the like may be bent and crowned. For the partition plate, a thin flat plate may be bent into a mountain shape, or a flexible material such as rubber may be used instead of the hinge. The top of the crowned mountain shape is usually round (inverted U-shape) to prevent damage to the selection, but if the selection is not damaged (inverse V-shape) or trapezoidal, Good. The partition plate is usually made of metal, but synthetic resin can also be used, and the supply part (6) and the discharge part (7) are formed with a downward slope toward the transfer of the non-sorted material. These chutes are arranged at both ends of the sorting member (1).

As a drive means for swinging and vibrating the sorting member (1), a drive motor (3) mounted on a base (2) is attached with a crank of a drive device (4), and a rocker arm ( 17) is axially attached to the lower center of the supply section. The rubber springs of the rocking device (5) are attached to the left and right sides of the supply side and the outlet side of the base (2), respectively.

Similarly, the rubber springs of the rocking device (5) are attached to the left and right side frame parts (18) of the supply part (6) and the left and right side frame parts (18) of the lead-out part (7), respectively. The rubber spring on the side of (2) and the rubber spring on the side of the side frame (18) are connected by a lever arm (16) to support the selection member (1). The rotation of the drive motor (3) drives the crank to swing and vibrate the sorting member (1).

The rubber spring of the oscillating device (5) is a vibration-damping slow-moving device having a bearing function, in which cylindrical rubber is press-fitted into the metal inner and outer shells of the vibration-proof slow-moving device. Therefore, it also has the functions of a spring, a damper, and a bearing. Further, vibration is applied by a vibration motor without using a crank as a driving means. Furthermore, it is also possible to use a coil spring as the rocking device. Although not shown, it is a suitable mode to provide a sprinkler for sprinkling water on the sorting member when sorting small fish.

In FIG. 2, the upper-stage sorting members are installed from the upper-stage supply section (9) side toward the upper-stage discharge section (10) side at a downward slope or horizontally and are arranged in parallel with each other. Although it is formed of a pipe having a cross section of (O-shaped) with a few rods (8), it may be a pipe of (△) or (□), a solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder. It is also possible to use a triangular prism or a square prism. It is also a preferable mode to use the sorting member (1).

The rod material (8) is made of metal, and synthetic resin can also be used. Then, the upper supply unit (9) and the upper discharge unit (10) are arranged at both ends of the bar (8) by chutes which are formed in a downward slope toward the transfer direction of the non-sorted material. The left and right side frames (18) of the selection member (1) and the left and right upper side frames (19) of the bar (8) are connected by a connecting arm (11) to support the bar (8). Therefore, the rod (8) also swings and vibrates in conjunction with the swing and vibration of the sorting member (1).

It should be noted that depending on the type of the sorted material, the sorting members (1) are provided in multiple stages (two to five stages), the spacing between the sorting members is narrowed in order from the uppermost sorting member, and the lowermost side frame (18). It is also preferable that the upper and lower sorting members are connected to each other by a connecting arm (11), and the upper sorting members also swing and vibrate in association with the lowering and lowering of the sorting members. It looks like that.

3 and 4, the space adjusting device (12) includes a hollow bolt (20) formed by screwing a right screw on one side and a left screw on the other side, and a right bolt of the hollow bolt (20). Insert a nut (21) with a right-hand thread into the shaft part, and insert a bolt (20) with a nut (21) with a left-hand thread into the left-hand bolt part into the shaft (14) as many as the selection members. The sorting members (1) are arranged at positions where the intervals between the sorting members are determined, and the hollow bolts (20) are fixed to the shaft (14) at the inner central portion of each sorting member (1). Then, the partition plate retainer (22) is sandwiched between the inside of the partition plate of the selection member (1) and the side surfaces of the nuts (21) of the right and left screws screwed into the hollow bolts (20). Since the diaphragm retainer (22) is usually a component which is pivotally attached to the diaphragm side portion and the nut side portion, the sorting member (1) is supported by the nuts (21) of the right and left screws.

Then, the shaft (14) is rotatably supported by the bearings (15) attached to the left and right side frames (18), and the handle (13) attached to the shaft (14) is rotated to the right or left, whereby the shaft (14) is rotated. The hollow bolt (20) fixed to (14) rotates, and the nuts (21) of the right and left screws move left and right. Therefore, the mountain-shaped partition plate, which is sandwiched with the partition plate retainer (22) and is integrated with the nuts (21) of the right and left screws, changes the angle and adjusts the spacing between the sorting members.

A hollow bolt having only a right or left screw is screwed with a nut (21) having a right screw or a left screw, and either one of the partition plates is fixed, and the angle is changed by only one of them, and the interval between the sorting members is changed. An interval adjusting device that adjusts is also one preferable mode. The gap adjusting device (12) is usually arranged on the supply unit side and the lead-out unit side, but it may also be arranged on the center portion of the separation member (1) in the radial direction.

[0027]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

In the sorting machine according to the first aspect, since the sorting member has a mountain shape, even an elongated body such as a small fish enters the sorting member along the slope of the sorting member and is parallel to the sorting member (longitudinal direction). ), The small elongated members that can pass between the sorting members in order to swing and vibrate the sorting members are kept in the orientation (horizontal direction) orthogonal to the sorting members. It is possible to reduce the amount of unsorted material that is sent out without falling, and when a large amount of unsorted material is placed on the sorting member, the unsorted material forms a layer and the large unsorted material below the layer closes the gap. However, a large unsorted product is derived from the derivation unit. Therefore, it can be selected efficiently and efficiently in a short time and in large and small quantities without labor.

In addition, since the sorting member is swung and vibrated, it is not necessary to lengthen the sorting member, so that the entire apparatus can be downsized.

In the sorting machine according to claim 2, when a sorting member is provided in the upper stage, a relatively large non-sorted product is led out from the upper-stage lead-out part, so that a small non-sorted product that can pass between the upper-stage sorting members is in the lower stage. The sorting members are surely sorted.

In the sorting machine of claim 3, by providing the spacing adjusting device, it is possible to easily and immediately deal with widening or narrowing the spacing between the sorting members. Therefore, sorting is performed according to a certain size suitable for each. Increase the added value of the selection.
