Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out a secure distribution work in a compact size and a simple way, by moving a conveyer at a constant speed in the lateral direction, and furthermore, sliding the front end in the longitudinal direction. CONSTITUTION:A conveyer carries out an adequate amount of continuous reciprocating lateral movement at a constant speed, interlocking to the rotation transmission of a pulley 7 by a driving main spindle 16. And when the conveyer comes to the reversing parts at both ends of the reciprocating lateral width b, a slide 2 slides rearward adequately and rapidly, and it repeats continuously the operation to restore the above rearward movement amount while advancing gradually up to the even speed lateral movement to the next opposite reversing positions after finishing the former reversing. And when a workpiece is thrown in to a specific point from the upstream side of the conveyer, the times necessary to pass its conveying amount a, and to pass the lateral width b of the conveyer, are made equal, and at the same time, the front end of the conveyer is slid rearward rapidly at the lateral reversing points, and the sliding amount is restored gradually in the movement to the next reversing point, so as to prevent the conveying superposition of the workpieces.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to an apparatus for continuously feeding processed foods such as croquettes and frozen white fish into an automatic fryer, a refrigerator or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When continuously processing and processing frozen foods such as croquettes and fish at the food processing site and automatically frying and frying, the processed foods must be distributed according to the machine width. I can see some.

At that time, in the past, such a method has been employed in which the work is relied on manually or as shown in FIG. 1 in which a workpiece is distributed and loaded by a swinging device whose tip is circularly swung.

[0004]

However, the method of relying on human labor is inefficient, and there is a problem in that the work of putting it into the flyer involves many risks such as splashing of oil. Next, as shown in FIG. In the swinging device 34, a crank motion is often used for its swinging mechanism, and therefore, in the vicinity of f, which is a dead point in the reciprocating motion, there is a concern that the workpiece may polymerize in addition to the mere reversing motion. Arm length, i.e. conveyor
The captain also needed a considerable length.

In view of the above points, the present invention achieves a small, simple and reliable sorting operation by moving the conveyor at a constant speed left and right and sliding the tip part back and forth.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the apparatus according to the present invention, the conveyor-1 comprises both a main body portion 3 and a slide portion 2 capable of sliding an arbitrary amount in the traveling direction of the conveyor-1. It is built by dividing the

The conveyor-1 is driven by the rotation transmission of the pulley 7 by the driving main shaft 16, and at the same time, the body of the conveyor-1 is orthogonal to the traveling direction of the conveyor-1. At a constant speed, an appropriate amount of continuous reciprocating transverse movement is performed.

As for the correlation between the traveling speed of the conveyor-1 and the transverse width b, the time required for the transfer amount a of the workpiece 35 on the conveyor-1 from the upstream side to the downstream side and the one-way passage of the transverse width b are described. Make the time required roughly equal.

Next, when the conveyor-1 approaches the reversing part of both ends of the reciprocating traverse width b, the slide part 2 quickly and appropriately slides backward, and after the reversing is completed, a constant speed traverse to the next opposite reversing point is performed. In the meantime, the structure is such that it gradually advances and recovers the amount of backward movement, and thereafter, the above operation is repeated continuously.

A conveyor 30 having a machine width e is provided at the tip of the conveyor-1 so that the mounting angle is variable and the conveyor is detachable.

[0011]

When the work piece 35 is placed at a fixed point from the upstream side of the conveyor-1 as shown in FIG.
As described above, the transport amount a and the traverse width b of the conveyor-1
Since the time required for
As can be seen from the movement transition from D to D, the distribution space area c of the workpiece 35 can be efficiently realized as approximately double the transverse width b.

Further, at the transverse reversal section of the conveyor-1, the tip of the conveyor-1 is swiftly slid backward to avoid the superposition of the work piece 35 as shown in FIG. Since the slide portion is gradually recovered during the transition to the part, the workpiece 35 in the device of the present invention is
The distribution locus of 1 can avoid the polymerization as described above as seen in FIG.

Since the reciprocating motion of the traverse width b is a constant velocity movement, for example, the variation in the interval between the workpieces 35 at the central portion and the end portion of the distribution as seen in the crank swing drive of FIG. You can almost eliminate it. Here, the transverse width b is variable depending on the situation, and of course, the same operation does not change the equality of the transverse width b and the time required for the conveyance amount a of the workpiece 35.

Further, an independent variable and detachable loading conveyor 30 is provided at the leading end loading portion of the conveyor-1. By changing the machine width e, for example, the fryer-32 oil tank width in FIG. 5 is changed. Moreover, it is possible to flexibly cope with the traverse of the conveyor-1 without disturbing it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the frame forming the net conveyor-1 is divided into a main body portion 3 and a slide portion 2. A plurality of guide rollers 5 are axially attached to the slide portion 2, and a part of the guide roller 5 is fitted as a slide guide of the roller 5 into the hollowed sides of both sides of the main body portion 3 to form a slide portion. 2 can be slid smoothly back and forth in the traveling direction of the conveyor-1.

The return roller 4 is rotatably arranged on the slide portion 2 in order to prevent the slack of the conveyor 1 when the slide portion 2 retracts, and has a diameter h. Since the folding-back dimension h'of the conveyor-1 is made equal, even when the above-mentioned slide transfer is carried out, the conveyor-1 as shown in FIG.
It does not hinder the running of the car. The intermediate roller 8 is axially provided on the main body 3.

A pulley 7 having a hexagonal shaft is used for driving the conveyor-1. The drive shaft 16 has the pulley 7
Using a hexagonal member loosely fitted with the shaft center hole of
The drive shaft 16 is slidable while transmitting the drive torque to the reel 7, so that the pulley 7, that is, the conveyor 1 can be moved laterally.

In front of the main body 3, a rolling motion is provided along a stadium 15 which is erected on a pedestal 15 and is fixed to a frame 31 which indirectly supports the conveyor 1 via a drive shaft 16. The roller 9 supports the smooth transverse reciprocating motion of the conveyor 1 via the roller 9.

The drive shaft 16 is driven by the variable speed motor 14 and the pulley 18, and at the same time, the bevel gears 19, 20 and the intermediate gears 20'21, 21 'are interposed between the drive shaft 16 and the main shaft shown in FIGS. A traveling mechanism 29 of the chain 24 by the sub pulleys 22 and 23 is arranged in parallel with the drive shaft 16 and arranged in the frame 31.

A transverse roller 13 is pivotally mounted on the chain 24. Then, a traverse bracket 28 having a guide block 12 in which a guide groove into which the traverse roller 13 is fitted is cut so as to be orthogonal to the traverse of the chain 24 is screwed to the lower side of the main body 3 of the conveyor-1. There is.

That is, the rotation of the chain 24 indirectly fixed to the pedestal 15 is transmitted to the conveyor-1 by the interposition of the traverse roller 13 and the guide block 12, and the drive shaft 16 is used as a sliding shaft to convey the conveyor. 1 is traversed orthogonally to the traveling direction of 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the transverse width b, in other words, the outer dimensions of the main and the sub pulleys 22 and 23 are set by attaching the sub pulley 23 and the tension pulley 25 as long holes. -The tension and slack of the ring 24 can be adjusted and changed.

The time required for one-way running of the traverse width b of the chain 24 is equal to the time required for the conveyor-1 to be its movement a, and the cam 6 in FIGS. 5 and 6 rotates the drive pulley 7. It rotates in conjunction with, but the rotation ratio is
The cams 6 and 27 are set so that the cam 6 rotates exactly once while the conveyor -1 makes the movement a.

A slide part 2 is attached to the front part of the main body part 3 by a pressure adjustable spring 11 so that the slide part 2 is brought into pressure contact with the rear part thereof, that is, the cam 6, whereby the rear end bent part 17 of the slide part 2 is attached. With the contact surface as the contact surface of the cam 6
Is structured to move back and forth.

To describe the shape of the cam 6, the rotation of the cam 6 causes the slide portion 2 to quickly move backward by the slide amount d, and then gradually return to the front. The start time is set at the time when the traverse roller 13 attached to the chain 24 approaches both ends of the traverse width b.

Further, at the tip of the slide portion 2 forming the downstream portion of the conveyor-1, the frame of a flyer device such as 32 shown in FIG.
In order to make it easy to load 5, it is possible to attach / detach a variable-angle input conveyor 30 constructed by a free-roller so as to make a gentle downward inclination, and replace it with an appropriate machine width e. It is possible to flexibly cope with the case of reducing the effective width g of the 6th stage device. The input conveyor 30 is free
Although described with the roller configuration, it is a matter of course that a net-shaped conveyor interlocking with the net conveyor-1 or the like may be used.

[0026]

The present invention is configured as described above and has the effects described below.

Since the transverse width b of the conveyor -1 is 1/2 as compared with the distribution width c, the whole movement is simple,
The machine can be compacted, including the captain.

Since the traverse speed at the time of distribution is constant, the workpiece 35 can be evenly distributed, and the traverse width b can be easily changed while maintaining constant speed traveling.

By adding a slight sliding motion at the time of reversing the traverse, as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to completely avoid the polymerization of the work piece 35, and it is possible to perform high-quality distribution distribution.

By making the input conveyor 30 replaceable, it is possible to flexibly deal with a change in the effective width of the next stage device.
