Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an apparatus for expanding an object to be conveyed such as foods, which is carried in one row or a plurality of rows by a carry-in conveyor and is carried in at a constant pitch, to a number larger than the number of rows.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 For example, in a bamboo ring manufacturing machine, when high temperature bamboo rings baked by a baking machine are continuously sent from the baking machine to a cooler by a conveyor to cool, the baking machine has a space limitation and the width of the conveyor is limited. It cannot be widely used, and therefore fired bamboo rings are usually carried out from the firing machine in one or two rows. However, although the cooling machine can take a sufficiently wide width, if the bamboo rings are conveyed from the firing machine to the cooling machine in one or two rows as they are, the cooling efficiency is poor and the work efficiency is also reduced. Therefore, the conveyor on the cooler side should be sufficiently wider than the conveyor on the baking machine side, and the baked bamboo rings should be passed through the cooling machine in multiple rows such as 4 to 6 rows. However, for that purpose, it is necessary to expand the 1 to 2 rows of conveyor rows conveyed by the conveyor on the baking machine side to the above-mentioned multiple rows. In the past, there was no such expansion device, so the expansion work had to be done manually.

In view of the above situation, the present invention expands the number of rows to be conveyed such as foodstuffs, which are carried in at a constant pitch in one row or a plurality of rows by a conveyor. It is intended to provide a device capable of performing work mechanically.

In the use of the above-mentioned spreading device 2, first, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), the bamboo rings T fired by the firing machine are conveyed in two rows by the carry-in conveyor 1 at a constant pitch. Two bamboo rings T for two rows and one pitch are dropped and supplied to, for example, the fixed bucket 11a of the first group of the spreading conveyor 3 at the receiving position P immediately below the sending end of the loading conveyor 1. This fixed bucket 11a receives two bamboo wheels T of two rows and one pitch, and pivots clockwise in FIG. 1 and then moves to the first movable bucket 11b that has arrived at the receiving position P. The following two bamboo rings T for two rows and one pitch are dropped and supplied. After the first movable bucket 11b receives two bamboo wheels T and pivotally moves, the second movable bucket 11c, which has also reached the receiving position P, is moved to the subsequent second row and one pitch from the carry-in conveyor 1. Two bamboo rings T are dropped and supplied.

The fixed bucket 11a receives two bamboo rings T of two rows and one pitch at the receiving position P, and then pivotally moves about 180 degrees to directly receive the two bamboo rings T at the supplying position S. It is dropped and supplied between the pair of partition plates 31, 31 facing each other of the upwardly inclined transport section 4a of the unloading conveyor 4 through 32. As shown in FIG. 2B or FIG. 5, the first movable bucket 11b receives the two bamboo rings T for two rows and one pitch at the receiving position P and then moves to the supplying position S until the first movable bucket 11b turns. From the central position (reception position) in the width direction of the line-up conveyor 3 to the left, it moves by approximately the length of the bucket, and then stops. Drop supply between the plates 31 and 31. In addition, the second movable bucket 11c, as shown in FIG. 2 (B) or FIG. Then, it moves from the central position (receiving position) in the width direction of the row-advancing conveyor 3 to the right for approximately the length of the bucket and then stops. Drop supply between 31 and 31.

In this case, the first group of fixed buckets 11a, the first movable buckets 11b, and the second movable buckets 11c each have two rows and one pitch of two bamboo rings T each having a predetermined time difference, and the upward slanted conveyance unit is provided. In order to feed between the same partition plates 31 and 31 of 4a, the carry-out conveyor 4 supplies the bamboo ring T by the first fixed bucket 11a of the first group to the space between the same partition plates 31 and 31. Subsequently, the first movable bucket 11b can supply the bamboo ring T, and the last second movable bucket 11c can finish supplying the bamboo ring T, so that the rotation speed of the conveyor 4 is very slow. The transport speed is set. In this case, the carry-out conveyor 4 is moved by one pitch after being stopped until a group of buckets from the fixed bucket 11a to the second movable bucket 11c have finished supplying six bamboo rings T in total. You may drive intermittently like this.

After the first group of buckets 11a to 11c have finished supplying the bamboo rings T between the pair of partition plates 31 and 31 as described above, the second group of buckets, that is, the fixed bucket 11a. ', The first movable bucket 11b', and the second movable bucket 11c 'perform the same operation as the first group of buckets 11a to 11c, and the three buckets 11a are placed between the next pair of partition plates 31, 31. A total of 6 bamboo rings T from '~ 11c' are supplied. Further, when the supply of bamboo rings T by the buckets 11a 'to 11c' of the second group is finished, the supply of bamboo rings T to the space between the next pair of partition plates 31 and 31 is again performed by the buckets 11a to 11c of the first group. Is performed, and thereafter such an operation is repeated.

As described above, the carry-out conveyer 4 is provided between the pair of partition plates 31 and 31 of the ascending slope conveying unit 4a, and two bamboo rings T2 for two rows and one pitch are respectively provided from the three buckets of each group. By receiving the above, six bamboo rings T are supplied between the partition plates 31 and 31 on the carry-out conveyor 4, and the two rows of bamboo rings T from the carry-in conveyor 1 are expanded into six rows. It becomes a lined up state. Further, in this case, there is a time lag in the supply of the bamboo rings T from the buckets 11a to 11c and 11a 'to 11c' of each group between the pair of partition plates 31 and 31, and the unloading conveyor 4 is temporarily horizontal. In the case of only the transport section, the two bamboo rings T supplied from each bucket are displaced from each other in the transport direction, but are supplied from the buckets of each group to the upslope-shaped transport section 4a. Therefore, even if there is a time lag as described above, the six bamboo rings T between the same partition plates 31, 31 are arranged in a single horizontal row in the ascending slanted conveyance section 4a as shown in FIG. 2 (C). To be done. That is, the bamboo rings T supplied from each of the three buckets 11a to 11c and 11a 'to 11c' between the pair of partition plates 31, 31 of the carry-out conveyor 4 with a time difference for each bucket rises. When transported through the inclined transport unit 4a, the bamboo rings T slide down between the pair of partition plates 31 and 31 due to the weight of each bamboo ring T, and are locked by the partition plate 31 on the lower side. The rows of bamboo wheels T on the conveyor 4 are arranged in a horizontal line.

In the spreading device of the embodiment described above, the buckets of each group arranged around the horizontal rotation spindle of the spreading conveyor are composed of one fixed bucket and a plurality of movable buckets. However, the buckets of each group may be composed of only a plurality of movable buckets. In this case, the movable buckets are different from each other in parallel with the horizontal rotation spindle from the receiving position until the conveyed object is received from the carry-in conveyor at a predetermined receiving position and is then supplied to the carry-out conveyor. The structure may be such that it can be moved by a predetermined stroke in the direction and returned to the receiving position after being supplied to the carry-out conveyor, and its operation is the same as that of the embodiment, but in particular, in this way, a plurality of movable parts are provided. With an apparatus that is configured with only buckets, the receiving position of each movable bucket that receives the objects to be conveyed from the carry-in conveyor can be easily adjusted according to the installation position of the carry-in conveyor without moving the carry-in conveyor. It has the advantage that it can be changed.

In the embodiment, in the spreading conveyor having the fixed buckets and the movable buckets, the movable buckets are two buckets that move in the opposite directions with respect to the object receiving position. This movable bucket may be one bucket that moves in only one direction from the receiving position, or may be a plurality of types of buckets that move to three or more different positions around the receiving position. Further, in the embodiment, the fluid pressure cylinder is used as the means for driving the movable bucket, but an appropriate driving means other than the fluid pressure cylinder, such as a ball screw mechanism driven by a motor, can be adopted.
