Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanism for automatically filling fluidized rice cake in a packaging container.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present inventor has proposed Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-27760 as an apparatus for injecting and filling freshly-brewed liquid rice cake into a synthetic resin packaging container formed into a mirror rice cake shape.

In addition, as a method for modifying the filling shape of rice cake and preventing the formation of voids inside, by rotating the packaging container around the vertical axis when filling using the above-mentioned filling and filling apparatus, Proposed Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-5266 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-35579 corresponding to its improvement,
Further, as a shape modification device useful for carrying out the method, Jitsukai Sho 59-30801 is also proposed.

[0004]

However, first, in the injection and filling device of the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-27760, while the operator holds the packaging container (a) with one hand, the tip diameter expansion port of the tubular body (15). It is necessary to insert it deeply from below into (15 ') and gradually lower it. In addition, in consideration of the end of filling, the liquid rice cake is in a continuous state of hanging down from the pipe body (15) to the packaging container (a). Since it is necessary to artificially cut (c) with scissors or the like that is held in the remaining one hand, it is not only complicated for the filling work, but it is also extremely difficult to always ensure a uniform filling amount. .

On the other hand, the shape modifying device of the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-30801 is independent of the injecting and filling device of the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-27760, so that the packaging container (a) after the rice cake filling is shaped. It is necessary to move it into the receiving box (7) of the retouching device, fit it, and rotate the packaging container (a) based on the fitted state, which also causes a reduction in work efficiency.

Further, Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-52 which requires the two steps.
Instead of the shaping method of No. 66, the packaging container is rotated, and liquid rice cake is injected and filled into the container.
Even if the method of No. 9 is adopted, since there is always a gap in the fitting surface between the packaging container (1) and the receiving box (3), the packaging container ( 1) slips,
Furthermore, there is a fear of rising.

[0007]

Therefore, the pair of left and right cutters (90) are moved forward and backward along the slide guide bar (87) by the forward and backward movement operation source (91).
The fluidized rice cake (M) continuously hanging down from the rice cake filling nozzle (42) to the packaging container (55) can be quickly cut, and the amount of rice cake filled in the packaging container (55) can be kept constant. .

A hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder, which replaces the illustrated air cylinder, may be used as the cutter forward / backward movement source (91). Also, as the cutter (90), one of the rotary cutters by a rotary drive source such as a motor can be adopted instead of the pair of left and right which are linearly moved forward and backward.

In filling the packed container (55) with freshly-dried fluidized rice cake (M) using the present invention as described above, one of the workers should fill the packed container (55). ) Is fitted into the container receiving bowl (54) in an inverted posture in which the bottom surface thereof is directed upward, and is set, and then the foot switch (93) placed on the work floor is stepped on.

Then, the foot switch (93)

0), a forward / backward actuation source (91) for cutter and an actuator such as an electromagnetic valve for opening / closing the air suction path are shown in FIG.
By being instructed to perform the predetermined operation of 5 to 17, the filling action of the fluidized rice cake (M) into the packaging container (55) can be automatically performed. The control means can be realized by a programmed micro computer or the like.

That is, referring to FIGS. 15 to 17, the operation of the present invention will be described. At first, the electromagnetic valve is in the closed state,
Since the air suction force is not imparted to the packaging container (55), the air suction force is manually applied to the container receiving bowl (54).
When the foot switch (93) is turned on, the packaging container (55) receives an air suction force due to the opening of the electromagnetic valve.
As suggested in FIG. 8 (A), it is fixedly held in the container receiving bowl (54) in a stable adsorption state.

When the foot switch (93) is turned on, the rotary drive source (70) for the hollow vertical shaft also rotates,
Along with the container receiving bowl (54) attached to the upper end of the hollow vertical shaft (45), the packaging container (55) rotates, while aiming at the packaging container (55) that is rotating. The rice cake filling nozzle (42) is lowered and advanced by the rice cake extruding housing elevating operation source (11), and the rice cake extruding rotary shaft drive source (21) is used to move the liquid rice cake ( M) will be filled into the packaging container (55).

At this time, the rice cake filling nozzle (42) passes through the rice cake filling port (58) opened on the bottom surface of the packaging container (55),
As shown in FIG. 18 (B), the packaging container (55) is initially deeply inserted into the lower point position and gradually retracted from the lower point position to the upper point position.

As soon as the rice cake filling nozzle (42) is moved up and returned from the rice cake filling port (58) of the packaging container (55) to the retracted state by the rice cake extrusion housing lifting operation source (11), the Alternately to the return, this time, the rice cake cutting cutter (90) is advanced by the advance / retreat operation source (91) as shown in FIG. 18 (C), and the rice cake filling nozzle (42) moves the packaging container (42). As a result, the liquid rice cake (M) in a continuous state of hanging down to 55) is cut by itself and filled in quantitatively.

During the filling operation, since the packaging container (55) rotates integrally with the container receiving bowl (54), the fluidized rice cake (M) receives the centrifugal force of rotation, and the packaging container (5)
5) Every corner of the interior is filled in a beautifully shaped condition, and there is no risk of air being filled.

After the liquid rice cake (M) is filled, the rice cake filling port (58) of the packaging container (55) is completely sealed by heat sealing the sealing piece (94) as shown in FIG. 18 (D). Needless to say keep on. If the foot switch (93) is turned off after the filling, the electromagnetic valve is opened and the air suction force does not act on the packaging container (55). Therefore, it can be manually removed from the container receiving bowl (54). it can.

It should be noted that a sensor for detecting the top dead center, bottom dead center and intermediate point of the rice cake extruding housing raising / lowering operation source (11), and the advance point of the cutter advancing / retreating operation source (91). A sensor for detecting the position of the withdrawal point and the like are omitted in the drawing. Manual switch (9)
It is convenient to adopt 3), but it is possible to install and use the hand switch on the operation panel at a constant height instead.
