Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application] The present invention is a box body (corrugated box, etc.)
The present invention relates to a vibrating device for aligning and packing long bodies such as carrots, radishes, and eggplants packed in a space without any gaps.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to pack a long body such as carrots in a box, the long objects must be arranged side by side so that they are in a predetermined direction. An undesired gap is generated between the side walls of the box body, and it becomes impossible to pack the box body to a predetermined amount.

Therefore, it is general that the long body as described above is manually packed in a box.
Since it requires a lot of manpower and is inefficient, an automatic cartoning machine for efficiently cartoning long objects has already been proposed.

According to this automatic boxing machine, a long conveyor is conveyed in a recumbent state in a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction by a supply conveyor using a crosspiece belt which conveys one long piece. From the end of the supply conveyor, they are sequentially dropped into the box and packed sideways.

However, when the automatic boxing machine as described above is used, the long object jumps up by hitting the bottom surface of the box or other long objects when it falls into the box, and as a result, Since the elongated body may change its posture such as becoming slanted or standing up, the fit inside the box may worsen, and more than necessary gaps may be created. It may not be possible.

Therefore, there is also proposed a box packing device in which a partition plate inserted into the box body is rocked together with the box body so that the long objects supplied from above can be packed in an aligned state. (See Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-183412).

[0007]

However, this type of device is only for vertically vibrating the box body by a vibrating device, or the partition plate and the box body are provided with a predetermined direction. Since only a horizontal rocking is applied to the elongated bodies, the gap between the elongated bodies is only slightly reduced, and a satisfactory filling effect cannot be achieved.

In view of the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention not only moves the box body back and forth by reciprocating the box mounting table in the front-rear direction, but at this time, the box concerned. By configuring the body to sway like a seesaw around the fulcrum that gives its bottom, the movement of the long object such as vegetables in the longitudinal direction and the movement based on the weight of the long object cause a gap. Its purpose is to enable unaligned packing.

Further, in claim 2, by placing a weight on the long object stored in the box body, it is possible to suppress the unintentional dance of the long object being exposed, and It is an object of the invention to obtain a uniform aligned packing state without the unevenness of the long objects at the protruding portion.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides, in claim 1, a box mounting table having a bottom wall, a front wall and a rear wall, and a box mounting table horizontally in a predetermined direction. The box body mounting table is configured such that the inner width in the reciprocating direction is set to a size that allows the box body mounted on the bottom wall to move freely. By the reciprocating motion of the body placing table, both upper side portions of the box body swing upward in a seesaw shape until they hit the front wall and the rear wall of the box body placing table. An attempt is made to provide a vibrating device for aligning and packing long objects such as carrots in a box body formed by projecting.

Further, according to a second aspect of the present invention, the box mounting table has a bottom wall, a front wall and a rear wall, and a reciprocating drive mechanism for horizontally reciprocating the box mounting table in a predetermined direction. ,
The inner width in the reciprocating direction is set to a size that allows the box body placed on the bottom wall to move freely, and both upper side portions of the box body are reciprocated by the same reciprocating movement of the box body mounting table. ,
A fulcrum part projects upward from the bottom wall so that it can swing in a seesaw shape until it hits the front and rear walls of the box mounting table, and on the upper surface of the long object exposed in the box. An object of the present invention is to provide a vibrating device for aligning and packing long objects such as carrots in a box provided with a weight formed so as to be freely placed.

[0012]

[Function] Long items such as vegetables are packed by the automatic cartoning machine in the box body in a predetermined direction so as to be aligned. The box body is placed on the box body mounting table so that the longitudinal direction of the long object matches the reciprocating direction of the box body mounting table.

Next, when the reciprocating drive mechanism is operated to reciprocate the box mounting table in the front-back direction, the box not only reciprocates back and forth together with the box mounting table, but also a fulcrum on the bottom wall. The box body swings like a seesaw around the part, and as a result, the upper end side of the box body alternately turns greatly in the front-back direction,
Vibration is applied to the box.

With the swinging of the box body in both the front and rear directions, the front side portion and the rear side portion of the upper portion of the box body hit the front wall and the rear wall of the box mounting table, respectively. so,
As the impact force is applied to the box and the long object, and this impact force is directed in the longitudinal direction of the long object, the long object can be driven by the synergistic effect of the impact force and the reciprocating motion. Sliding in the longitudinal direction, the sliding and the weight of the long object from above cause the long object to spread symmetrically in the longitudinal direction, which is the longitudinal direction, so that the long objects can mesh with each other. It will be able to fit in the box without any gap.

Further, according to a second aspect, the weight placed on the front surface of the long object prevents the long object on the front surface from jumping up, and the weight of the long object is used for the box. Since it is pressed into the body, the long objects can be packed in a more desirable alignment state without further space.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, it comprises a box mounting table 1 and a reciprocating drive mechanism 2 for reciprocating the box mounting table 1 in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in the drawing).

The box mounting table 1 shown in the figure has a bottom wall 1a, a front wall 1b and a rear wall 1c, and openings 3, 4, 4 on the upper surface side and the left and right side surfaces, respectively. It is formed in an upward U-shape, and the front and rear parts of the box body 5 can be installed in the front-rear direction so that the front part and the rear part thereof can be separated from the front wall 1b and the rear wall 1c by a predetermined gap a, b. Inner width L is box 5
The width is set to be larger than the horizontal width 1 by a required dimension.

Further, in the present invention, a fulcrum portion 6 on the bottom wall 1a of the box mounting base 1 on which the center of the bottom surface of the box 5 is mounted is formed in the center of the inner surface of the bottom wall 1a. , A triangular shape or the like is provided so as to project long in parallel with the front wall 1b and the rear wall 1c, whereby the box body 5 has an arrow c in FIG.
As indicated by c ', it is slidable in the front-back direction in a seesaw shape.

The box body mounting table 1 thus constructed can be smoothly horizontally reciprocated in the front-rear direction on the flat plate-shaped substrate 7 through the guide means 8 such as rails and rollers. It has been placed.

The reciprocating drive mechanism 2 includes a motor 9
A rotary plate 10 fixed to the rotary shaft 9a of the above, a crank shaft 11 projecting therefrom, and a link 13 linking a bracket 12 projecting from the rear wall 1c of the box mounting table 1. .

Further, in the box body 5, according to claim 2, carrots and other long objects 1 packed in the box body 5.
The weight 15 is placed on the exposed upper surface of No. 4.

The weight 15 is formed into a plate having a predetermined thickness so that the weight of the weight 15 is evenly applied to the exposed surface of the elongated member 14 in the box 5, and the weight 15 is biaxial. Is set so that it is just fitted into the box body 5, and a handle 16 is provided on the upper surface thereof.

Therefore, when the above-mentioned vibrating device for aligning and packing is used, if the box body 5 in which the long objects 14 are packed is placed on the bottom surface 1a of the box body mounting table 1, the reciprocating drive mechanism 2
Is operated to reciprocate the box mounting table 1 in the front-rear direction.

Here, the long objects 14 are packed by the above-mentioned automatic boxing device or the like so that the longitudinal direction thereof is oriented in the front-rear direction with respect to the box body 5. In the case of stuffing by dropping in, as shown in FIG. 3, a considerable gap d remains between the long objects 14 and between the box body 5 and the long objects 14, and The aligned state is not uniform and the filling state is not satisfactory.

The box body 5 in which the long objects 14 are packed in this way is placed on the box body mounting table 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the reciprocating drive mechanism 2 operates to make the arrow mark in FIG. By horizontally reciprocating in the front-back direction indicated by e and e ′,
The box 5 also reciprocates back and forth together, and at this time,
The upper side of the box body 5 around the fulcrum portion 6 is indicated by an arrow e in FIG.
As shown by e ', it is swung greatly like a seesaw.

As described above, when the upper side of the box body 5 is repeatedly rotated in a large arc shape, the upper front side portion and the upper rear side portion of the box body 5 become the front wall 1b and the rear side of the box body mounting table 1, respectively. Wall 1c
The front edge 1d and the rear edge 1e collide with each other, and vibration due to the impact force is applied to the long object 14 in the front-rear direction (longitudinal direction) via the box body 5.

Therefore, the long objects 14 slide in the longitudinal direction thereof, and as a result of the load due to the weight of the long objects 14, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the front-back direction (the left-right direction in the drawings). To be aligned along the inner surfaces of the front wall 5a and the rear wall 5b of the box body 5 without any gap.

Further, in the second aspect, the elongated member 14
Since the long object 14 is pressed downward by the weight 15 placed on the surface of the, the long object 14 is not loaded unintentionally by this, and the weight 15 is also loaded. As a result, the desired alignment packing is completed within a short time.

[0029]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, according to the first aspect, the box body is not merely reciprocated in the lateral direction but is oscillated in a seesaw shape by the box mounting table. Since the impact force is applied, the long vegetables packaged in a box are subjected to sufficient vibration in the longitudinal direction of the vegetables, so that the long objects slide and are symmetrically spread in the longitudinal direction. The gaps existing between the bodies and the like are filled, and the desired aligned box packing state can be efficiently completed.

Further, according to the second aspect, the long object is pressed into the box body by the weight, and the vibration is efficiently applied in the longitudinal direction. Since it can be performed efficiently and the long object on the upper surface of the exposed surface can be prevented from jumping up, the long object on the upper surface of the exposed area does not deviate.
