[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a supply device for supplying cultured scallops to a punching machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Ear ridges (two pieces) of the scallop are used to suspend the cultivated scallop via a rope with a rope.
It is necessary to make a hole for inserting the shoe at the foot part of the foot system bay (one piece part).

When the above-described processing is performed on a tabletop pole machine, a scallop taken out from a box or basket by an operator is placed on a shell cradle of a tabletop drilling machine, and the scallop is held until it is returned to the box or basket after completion of drilling. Therefore, the efficiency is significantly reduced,
Moreover, there was a problem that the worker got tired.

Therefore, as in Japanese Patent Application No. 2-80283, there is a scallop shell that is manually grasped by the forward side tail portion of the belt conveyor so that both ear-like projections are on the lower side and face the running direction of the belt conveyor. Supply in sequence.

The supplied scallop is conveyed while maintaining the standing state by the guide plate so that it does not fall, and when it reaches a little before the head of the belt conveyor, the arrival of the scallop is detected by the first detecting device. The operation of the belt conveyor is stopped.

Further, since the feed screw is stopped once for one rotation, the operation of the belt conveyor is restarted by the second detecting device which operates each time, so that the head of the belt conveyor is passed between the spiral guides in the front and rear, and between the mountains before and after the feed screw. The scallops are dropped and supplied with both ears protruding.

In the scallop supplied by dropping, the upper protrusion of the preceding binaural protrusions drops from the head of the belt conveyor in advance, and the guide member is provided with the edge of the binaural protrusions. The portion near the lower ear-shaped projection collides and rotates, and the preceding ear-shaped projection drops into contact with the bottom of the feed screw.

The belt conveyor detects and stops when the succeeding scallop reaches the first detecting device.

The above-mentioned feed screw for feeding the scallop is
It will rotate once after the set time, so move the scallop forward and
Empty the feed screw start end to accept the next scallop.

Also, the scallop to be transferred has a stable attitude only when the size is large, because the peripheral portion of the left shell or the right shell protruding from the mountain of the feed screw contacts the spiral guide rotating with the feed screw.

When the scallop arrives at the end of the feed screw, it is drilled.

[0012]

According to the above-mentioned feeding method, the scallop must be fed to the belt conveyor so that the two ear projections are on the lower side and face the running direction of the belt conveyor. , You must check the feeding posture of the scallops you have caught and place them on the belt conveyor.

For this reason, there are problems that it is extremely troublesome and that stable supply cannot be maintained for a long time.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to automatically set a predetermined posture, that is, to make a hole in the ear-like protrusion while reaching the head of the belt conveyor, regardless of the orientation of the both ear-like protrusions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a scallop feeding device which is in a posture for processing.

[0015]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is provided with a belt conveyor and a portion slightly above the center of a scallop leaning on the entire length outside the upper one side edge of the belt conveyor. The scallop supply device is composed of an endless traveling body having a speed slightly higher than the traveling speed of the belt conveyor, and a guide member provided along the other side above and above the belt conveyor.

[0016]

[Operation] Scallops grabbed by hand are sequentially placed on the tail portion of the belt conveyor.

While the scallop placed above is conveyed by the belt conveyor, it leans and leans against the endless running body, and a portion slightly above the center of the scallop is received by the endless running body.

The scallop leaning against the endless traveling body is given a rotational force by the endless traveling body traveling at a speed slightly higher than the traveling speed of the belt conveyor, and rotates on the belt conveyor.

The rotation of the scallop is such that, when the binaural projections are oriented in the carrying direction, the lower aural projections come into contact with the outward surface of the belt conveyor, and the binaural projections are carried. When facing the opposite direction or upward, it is performed until the lower ear protrusions of the both ear protrusions facing the conveying direction due to rotation come into contact with the outward surface of the belt conveyor, and after the contact. In particular, the rotation of the scallops is stopped by the tension of the lower ear-shaped protrusions that are in contact with the outward surface of the belt conveyor, and the endless traveling body slips against the stopped scallops so as not to rotate.

[0020]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a belt conveyor, 2 is a belt conveyor 1 which receives a little above the center of a scallop A leaning on the entire length of one upper side edge of the belt conveyor 1 and runs the belt conveyor 1. It is an endless running body that runs at a speed slightly higher than the speed.

In order to lean either the left shell or the right shell of the scallop A standing upright on the forward side of the endless traveling body 2, as shown in FIG. When the scallop A is forcibly tilted toward the endless traveling body 2 side by the inclined guide member 3 along the entire length of the upper and other side edge of the belt conveyor 1, as shown in FIG. Inclining the forward side of the conveyor 1 toward the endless traveling body 2 (obviously, the endless traveling body 2
There is a case where the guide member 3 is provided on the opposite side to prevent the scallop A from dropping from the belt conveyor 1).

In the illustrated case, a flat belt is used for the endless traveling body 2, and the upper edge of the scallop A is brought into contact with the lower edge on the outward side of the flat belt so that the scallop A leans against the edge. You may make it run a round belt etc. in the contact position of a scallop.

With the above construction, the scallop A grasped by hand is sequentially placed on the tail portion of the belt conveyor 1.

The scallop A placed above is conveyed by the belt conveyor 1 and is tilted so that either the left shell or the right shell leans against the endless traveling body 2, and the scallop A
The endless traveling body 2 receives the portion slightly above the center of the.

The scallop A leaning against the endless traveling body 2 is
Since the traveling speed of the endless traveling body 2 is set to be slightly higher than the traveling speed of the belt conveyor 1, a rotational force is applied and the endless traveling body 2 tries to rotate on the belt conveyor 1.

The rotation of the scallop A is carried out until the lower ear-shaped protrusion a contacts the forward surface of the belt conveyor 1 and the both-ear-shaped protrusion a is oriented in the conveying direction. When the protrusion a is facing the opposite direction of the transport direction or upward,
This is performed until the lower ear protrusions a of the both ear protrusions a facing the conveying direction due to the rotation come into contact with the surface of the belt conveyor 1 on the forward side, and after the contact, the belt conveyor 1
The rotation of the scallop A is stopped by the bulging of the lower ear-shaped protrusion a which is in contact with the surface of the scallop A, and the endless traveling body 2 slips with respect to the scallop A that has stopped so as not to rotate.

As a result, the scallop A having the optimum posture for the drilling posture reaches the head of the belt conveyor 1.

The scallops that have reached the head of the belt conveyor 1 are received by the feed screw (see Japanese Patent Application No. 2-80283), and then the ear projections are perforated.

[0030]

[Effect] As described above, according to the scallop feeding device of the present invention, the scallop feeding on the belt conveyor automatically moves while it reaches the head of the belt conveyor regardless of the direction of the ears. Therefore, the optimum posture for the drilling can be achieved. Therefore, the drilling efficiency can be significantly improved.

Since the endless running body is brought into contact with the scallop a little above the center, the endless running body is brought into contact with a position deviated from the center of gravity of the scallop to rotate the scallop.

For this reason, if the ear-like protrusions are stretched on the outward surface of the belt conveyor, the scallop will not be further rotated.
