TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a legume pod separating device.

[Problems to be Solved by Prior Art and Invention]

An automatic bean shredding machine, which employs a structure in which a shredding roller is obliquely installed not parallel to a transfer chain, is known as Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 61-29245. This slanted threshing roller is slanted on a wide endless belt conveyor, and sheds the pods from the stalks transferred between the endless belt conveyor and the shattering roller. The grain is shredded from the tip side of the stem, which is common knowledge. Therefore, the end of the shredding roller on the stem insertion side is far from the transfer chain, and the end of the shredder roller on the discharge side is close to the transfer chain. Then, in the same way as the threshing of rice, the pods are shredded in order from the tip side toward the root side.

The Applicant has begun to develop an edamame mopping machine that can perform large-scale processing with the automatic shredding type when cultivating a large amount of soybeans in Hokkaido, and also shreds (sheath) without damaging the edamame, and tested various methods. saw. As a result, two or three edamame beans that are large ripe are good products, and because these good products are heavy, they are attached to the stem with the tip of the edamame hanging downward. In this state, if you feed it from the tip side of the stem to the stripping mechanism, the hanging soybeans will be pushed in the hanging direction as it is, or it will be pushed as it is to the stem and you will notice that it is very difficult to strip the soybeans. It was. Therefore, it became clear that if the mopping force is increased, the soybeans will be damaged and the mochi will be taken off.

In this regard, the Applicant has noticed that ironing the soybeans that is hanging in the opposite direction toward the tip makes it easier to pick up the soybeans, so that the root side of the stem is fixed and the soybeans are attached to a plate-shaped rotating body. It is configured so that the root side of the stem is fed first to the stripping mechanism equipped with this plate-shaped rotating body and the stripping mechanism moves to the tip side of the stem, and the stripping operation is performed even if the stem is held. When at least one of the pair of shaving removal rotators is a plate-shaped slewing member and a squeezing action is performed to squeeze the pods from the root side to the tip side of the stalks, the roots of the pods on the stalks are rotated 180 ° downward The present invention has been completed based on the idea of a new mopping method that can be easily torn without damaging the pods because the roots of the pods can be folded up close to each other and the present invention has been completed.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

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

The stalk introducing section 2S for introducing the stalk 1 and the stalk discharging section 2E for discharging the stalk 1 are provided inside the machine body a, and the stalk removing mechanism 4 for removing the pods 3 from the stalk 1 is arranged. A stem transfer mechanism 5 for fixing and transferring the root-side portion 1'of the stem body 1 introduced from 2S is arranged in the machine body a, and the stripping mechanism 4 is set to a predetermined length so as to correspond to the length of the stem transfer mechanism 5. The distance between the stripping mechanism 4 and the stem transfer mechanism 5 is set to be close to each other on the stem introduction side and to the tip end portion 1 ″ of the stem body 1 transferred on the stem discharge side or near the tip end. A pair of stripping rotary bodies for holding the stalk 1 in the stripping mechanism 4 by setting the stripped state in a length slightly separated from the portion 1 ″.
The present invention relates to a legume pod separating device, wherein 20 is provided and at least one of the stripping rotary members 20 is formed into a plate-shaped rotary member 20P.

[Work]

When the stem body 1 is introduced from the stem introducing portion 2S and the root shifting portion 1 ′ of the green soybean stem body 1 is held by the stem transferring mechanism 5 and automatically fed, the stem introducing side of the mopping mechanism 4 comes close to the stem transferring mechanism 5. Moreover, since the stem discharge side is obliquely installed in a separated state, the stem body 1 is moved from the root portion 1'to the tip end portion 1 "of the tip of the stem 1 so that the pod removing operation of the pods 3 sequentially moves.
Moreover, since the pods 3 are attached to the stem body 1 in a hanging state, the pods 3 are raised even on the plate-shaped rotating body 20P and pushed further toward the ears side to bend the pods 3 against the normal state, and the squeezing operation is performed to squeeze it against the normal state. The pods 3 can be stripped very easily and efficiently without damaging the pods 3.

〔Example〕

The drawing shows a preferred embodiment in which the present invention is used in an edamame mopping machine, and a stem introducing portion 2S for introducing the stem body 1 is shown.
And a stem discharging section 2E for discharging the stem body 1 is provided inside the machine body a, which is provided with a mopping mechanism 4 for stripping the pods 3 from the stem body 1, and the stem body 1 introduced from the stem introducing section 2S is closer to the root A stalk transfer mechanism 5 for fixing and transferring the portion 1'is disposed on the machine body a, and the stripping mechanism 4 is formed to have a predetermined length so as to correspond to the length of the stalk transport mechanism 5, and the stripping mechanism 4 and the stalk transporting unit 4 are transferred. On the stalk introduction side, the facing distance of the mechanism 5 is close to the stalk introduction side, and on the stalk discharge side, the length is up to the tip end portion 1 ″ of the stalk 1 to be transferred or a little distance from the tip end portion 1 ″. A pair of mopping rotary members 20 for holding the stem 1 in the mopping mechanism 4 are provided in the separated state, and at least one of the mopping rotary members 20 is formed as a plate-shaped rotary member 20P.

Although the drawing shows the case where the stem introducing section 2S is provided on the upper side wall of the machine body a, the front wall stem introducing section 2'is provided on the upper front wall, and the stripping mechanism 4 and the stem transfer mechanism 5 are arranged on the same horizontal plane. The configuration is not limited to the horizontal plane as long as the stem removing mechanism 4 has a configuration in which the stripping mechanism 4 is installed obliquely.

In the illustrated stripping mechanism 4, two blade-plate-shaped stripping rotary bodies 20 having a shaft body 20 'arranged in the middle thereof are placed opposite to each other with a gap 22 sandwiching the soybean stalk body 1 interposed therebetween, and a rotary drive device. twenty one
Are provided so that they rotate in opposite directions in synchronization with each other. The vane plate-shaped stripping rotary member 20 is formed of a flexible material, or the flexible edge members 23, 23 are attached to the side edges, but at least one of the pair of stripping rotary members 20 is rotated by a plate. Body 20P.

The stalk transfer mechanism 5 includes a belt 26 stretched between pulleys 25, which are axially attached to both ends of the conveyor stay 24, and a roller chain 27 arranged between the conveyor stay 24 and the lower side of the belt 26. And an upper conveyor part 29 configured by a spring coil 28, a belt 32 stretched between pulleys 31 and 31 axially attached to both ends of the conveyor stay 30, and the conveyor stay 30 and the upper side of the belt 32. The figure shows a case where a lower conveyor section 34 constituted by roller chains 33 arranged between them is vertically opposed to each other.

In the figure, reference numeral 35 is a conveyor drive mechanism, and 36 is a leaf.
