Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a conveyor device suitable for conveying foods such as dumplings and dumplings (hereinafter referred to as dumplings in this specification).
The present invention relates to a transfer device suitable for transfer from a dumpling manufacturing machine to a box packing process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Dumplings made by a molding machine are steamed or baked, or placed on a conveyor belt of a belt conveyor and conveyed as they are, and a predetermined number of them are supplied as a unit onto a tray and packed in a box. A dumpling box packing device is known (for example, JP-A-6-46805). There
It is disclosed that a tray is arranged near the end of an endless belt to be conveyed, and dumplings conveyed by the endless belt are dropped onto the tray to align a predetermined number.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional dumpling box packing device, the dumplings conveyed by the endless belt are dropped on the tray one after another, but the dumplings are packed in the tray. It is difficult to drop at an equal distance, and even if the dumplings are arranged equidistantly on the conveyor belt, if they are dropped on the tray, the distance between adjacent dumplings will increase, and conversely the dumplings will move up and down. There was a problem that they overlapped with each other, so I had to manually correct the alignment after packing the box.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a front roller 2 provided in front of an upper portion of a base 11.
1, a rear roller 22 provided at a position slightly higher than the rear of the upper part, and a drive roller 24 provided below, and a conveyor belt 23 is wound around the upper part of the base 11 in the horizontal direction. A carrier plate 30 slidably supported is provided,
A front guide 31 and a rear guide 32 are provided on the front end surface and the rear end lower surface of the conveying plate 30, and the front guide 31 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the conveying belt 23 and the outer surface is folded back by the rear guide.

Further, specifically, a feeding means 40 for individually feeding dumplings or the like onto the transport belt 23 is provided on the rear roller 22 side of the transport belt 23. Also, the drive roller 2
4 is provided with an auxiliary roller 25 for increasing the winding angle of the conveyor belt 23. Further, the front end portion of the transport plate is formed so as to taper off toward the tip, and a feeding roller 31 having a diameter substantially the same as the plate thickness is provided at the tip edge thereof.

[0006]

Operation: First, the feeding belt and the feeding plate are advanced at the same speed from the state where the feeding plate is retracted to the rear position.
Place the dumplings on it by aligning with 0. When only the transport plate is retracted when the transport plate and the transport belt reach above the tray, dumplings and the like fall into the tray at the same intervals as when they were placed on the transport belt. During this time, the drive roller blocks the idling of the conveyor belt by a strong frictional force.

When the carrier plate 30 moves, the carrier belt 23 moves backward or forward by the rear guide 32 by the same distance as the front guide 31 at the front end of the carrier plate 30 moves forward or backward. Since the movement amount is offset, the circumferential length of the conveyor belt 23 is kept constant. further,
Since the front end of the carrier plate 30 is tapered toward the tip, when the carrier plate 30 moves rearward from the forward end, the front end quickly passes below G such as dumplings, and the dumplings are curved. It falls on the tray without changing its posture significantly. That is, they are aligned on the tray while being placed on the transport surface.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. 1 to 4, a transfer device 10 such as dumplings has a transfer conveyor 20 supported by a base 11 and a transfer plate 30.

The base 11 is assembled by welding a steel plate, and casters 13 are attached to the lower surface of the legs 12 that form the lower end of the base 11. A pair of left and right upper frames 14 made of an angle member are welded on the base 11, and a horizontal frame 15 made of a pair of channel members mounted so as to face each other is further provided on the upper frame 14. 15 is welded. Reference numeral 16 is a guide member bolted onto the horizontal frame 15. Thus, the transport plate 30 is placed between the horizontal frames 15, 15 and guided by the guide member 16 so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction.

The transport conveyor 20 includes two guide rollers, a front roller 21 and a rear roller 22, which are supported between the pair of left and right upper frames 14 and 14, and a transport belt wound between them. And a drive roller 24 for driving 23. The drive roller 24 is an auxiliary roller 25 for increasing the winding angle of the conveyor belt 23.
It has. The conveyor belt 23 is made of a heat-resistant fiber such as Teflon net or a fine wire mesh so that it can withstand the heat of baked gyoza, and its upper surface is a conveyor surface F. T is a tray for packing the transported G such as dumplings.

Here, the rear roller 22 is provided at a position slightly higher than the front roller 21, and the carrier plate 30 is arranged between them. The transport plate 30 is made of stainless steel, aluminum, or the like, and its front end side is tapered so that the plate thickness decreases as it goes to the front end, and its front end portion forms a front guide 31. Specifically, the front guide 31 is composed of an idle roller, which is rotatably supported on the front edge of the transport plate 30 and has a diameter substantially the same as the plate thickness, that is, an input roller. In this embodiment, the feeding roller 31 is made of a stainless steel rod having a diameter of about 10 mm and is gloss-polished. Further, a rear guide 32 is provided on the lower surface of the rear end of the transport plate 30, and specifically, an idle roller having substantially the same diameter as the guide roller, that is, a delivery roller 32 is rotatably supported.

The transport plate 30 is a loading roller 3 supported at the front end.
1 is supported on the horizontal frame 15 in a form of being pressed against the back surface of the conveyor belt 23, and its moving stroke is
At a minimum, the length is set to correspond to the interval from G, which is the first dumpling, etc., which is placed on the conveyor belt 23, to G, which is the last dumpling. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the conveyor belt 23 extends forward from the rear roller 22, is folded back by the input roller 31, and is further folded back by the delivery roller 32 to reach the drive roller 24. The drive roller 24 can drive and stop the conveyor belt 23 in the clockwise direction in the figure at the same speed as the conveyor belt 23 is fed by the electric motor (not shown) and at the same speed. There is.

Numeral 40 is an intermittent charging means for charging and aligning G and the like on the conveyor belt 23, and the dumplings and the like that are conveyed from the G manufacturing machine (not shown) at regular intervals. Align on the conveyor belt 23. That is,
The charging means 40 is composed of a rotary shaft 41 that rotates counterclockwise at a constant speed, and a feed plate 42 supported by the rotary shaft. The rotation speed is set in association with the rotation speed of the drive roller 24 so that the G and the like are lined up on the conveyor belt 23 at desired intervals, but can be stopped independently of the conveyor belt 23. .

Thus, the charging means 40 is the conveyor 4 of the preceding stage.
G and the like, which are sent from the device 3 at irregular intervals, are temporarily stopped by the feed plate 42 and are rotated at a predetermined time interval to be sent out one by one or in rows on the conveyor belt.

Next, the operation of the carrier device 10 will be described. First, G and the like such as dumplings are supplied in an aligned state near the upstream end of the transport surface F. The rotating plate 40 is rotated counterclockwise to dispense G or the like G one by one or one by one row, and the gyoza are aligned and placed on the transport surface F in the same posture and at predetermined intervals. The rotating plate 40 stops after paying out a predetermined number of dumplings such as G. At this time, the transport plate 30 is located at the rear position (position in FIG. 5).

Next, the transport plate 30 is moved forward at the same speed as the transport belt 23. At the front position (position in FIG. 6), which is the forward end, the transport plate 30 is located immediately above the tray T, and after reaching that position, it retreats at a relatively high speed regardless of the movement of the transport belt 23. Therefore, the dumplings G and the like on the transport surface F drop into the tray T while maintaining their mutual positional relationship. That is, when the feeding plate 31 passes below the dumplings G when the transport plate 30 returns to the initial position in the rear, the dumplings G on the transport surface F are left in place and are aligned on the tray T. To fall.

Since the front end of the transport plate 30 is tapered toward the tip, and the thickness of the leading edge and the diameter of the feeding roller 31 are made substantially the same small diameter, the transport plate 30 moves from the front position to the rear. When moving to the position, the curved surface of the charging roller 31 instantaneously passes below the G and the like such as dumplings, and the G and the like G falls downward without greatly changing its posture due to the curved surface. Therefore, the dumplings G and the like do not fall sideways on the way from the transport surface F onto the tray T, and fall and are aligned on the tray T in the original aligned posture.

Here, when the transport plate 30 advances to the front, the transport belt 23 offsets the amount pulled by the input roller 31 and the amount returned by the delivery roller 32,
On the contrary, when the transport plate 30 moves backward, the surplus generated by the feeding roller 31 is pulled by the sending roller 32 to be offset, so that a special device for keeping the circumferential length constant without changing the circumferential length is provided. do not need.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the G or the like, which is conveyed by the conveyor belt, drops into the tray while maintaining the relative position where the G has been conveyed by the conveyor belt. The G intervals are accurately maintained, and there are no problems such as dumplings where several Gs overlap or are too far apart. Further, it is possible to improve the productivity of box packing without the trouble of rearranging the dropped dumplings G and the like again in the box.
