Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bulb or other adjusting device for adjusting a bulb having a leaf and a root.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, adjustment of the above-mentioned bulbs and the like has been performed manually, but it has been a complicated work.

Therefore, in recent years, for example, with respect to raccoons and the like, as shown in FIG. 9, a pair of cutting blades 102 and 103 are attached to a rotary shaft 101 driven by a motor 100, and the bulb main body R of the radish R is attached by both cutting blades 102 and 103. An adjusting machine such as a bulb has been developed which cuts the leaf R ₁ and the root R ₂ attached to both sides of ₀ .

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned adjusting device for bulbs and the like still has the following problems to be solved.

That is, in the above-mentioned adjusting device for bulbs and the like, it is necessary to manually cut the radish R one by one, but the leaf R ₂
Was difficult to cut, but it was difficult to cut root R ₁ accurately because root R ₂ was separated.

Further, the raker R is manually cut with the cutting blades 102, 103.
The work of hitting the ground was also extremely dangerous work.

The same applies to other leaves and bulbs with netsuke other than lacquer.

An object of the present invention is to provide an adjusting machine for bulbs and the like which can solve the above problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a bulb-holding side conveyor belt and a leaf-holding side conveyor belt, each of which is composed of an upper and lower endless conveyor belt, are arranged side by side, and both conveyor belts are fed from the feeding side ends. It is possible to convey leaves and rooted bulbs in a narrow pressure state toward the discharge side end, and a leaf cutting blade and a root cutting blade are arranged between both conveyor belts and along the root side of the bulb holding side conveyor belt, respectively. Further, the present invention relates to an adjusting device for a bulb or the like, characterized in that a sufficient gap is formed between the upper and lower endless conveying belts of the bulb pressing side conveying belt.

According to the present invention, the discharge end of the leaf-holding-side conveying belt is extended rearward from the discharge end of the bulb-holding-side conveying belt to provide a difference between the discharge-end positions, and the bulb-holding-side conveying belt. It is also characterized in that a pair of root-coring spirals are arranged side by side on the root side of the belt.
