In FIG. 3, reference numeral 30 denotes a chopped laver, which is cut in a strip shape. When wrapping the chopped laver 30 in the bag 31 one serving at a time, first put a large amount of chopped laver 30 into one.
It must be weighed in servings. However, when the chopped laver 30 is cut in a strip shape and the chopped laver is engaged with each other, the machine cannot release the engagement between the chopped laver even if the predetermined amount is to be dispensed. For this reason, the work of dispensing was performed manually.

[0003]

The time required for packaging was long because manual chopping of the chopped laver was only possible by hand, and the amount of package chopped laver was large, resulting in a high yield. Was bad.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to release the engagement of the chopped laver engaged with each other and to evenly equalize it.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for packaging chopped laver, which can be easily packaged by a predetermined amount.

[0005]

The present invention has the following arrangement to achieve the above object. That is, according to the chopped laver packaging method according to the present invention, the central portion is raised, the inner bottom surface is formed so as to become lower toward the periphery, the cylindrical inner wall surface is provided, and the upper portion is opened.

Can be. For this reason, it is easy to dispense by a predetermined amount, and a fixed amount of chopped laver can always be packaged. In addition, by using the cut seaweed that is cut in a square shape, the engagement between the seaweed seaweeds can be more smoothly released, and the seaweed seaweed can be evenly distributed in some places so that the amount of seaweed is not uneven. It is even easier to do. Also, the chopped seaweed chopped in a square,
When dropping from the tip of the transport path, since it falls more stably than the strip-shaped chopped seaweed, when putting it in a bag, the chopped seaweed still falling is still sandwiched in the opening of the bag, and the opening of the bag Will not be closed.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, FIG. 1 shows an explanatory diagram of a chopped laver supply device. In FIG. 1, a main body 21 of a chopped laver supply device 20 includes an inner bottom surface 22 and a cylindrical inner wall surface 2.
Three. The inner bottom surface 22 is formed so that the central portion rises and becomes lower toward the inner wall surface 23 provided on the peripheral edge. In FIG. 1, the inner bottom surface 22
Shows a conical shape, but the inner bottom surface 22 is not limited to a conical shape, and may be a truncated cone or the like. The upper part of the main body 21 is opened to form an opening 25. The transport path 24 projects inward from the inner wall surface 23,
A spiral is formed from the inner bottom surface 22 to the opening 25. The leading end 26 on the opening side of the transport path 24 is
It protrudes outward from the opening 25. An unillustrated chopped laver packaging device (not shown) is disposed below the tip section 26, and the chopped nori, which has fallen from the tip section 26 and is evenly leveled, is packaged by a predetermined amount. In addition, the transport path 24 is formed in a V-shape from the opening 25 to the tip end portion 26 to prevent the cut seaweed from falling out of the seaweed supply device 20. Further, a vibration generating device (not shown) is provided in the chopped laver supply device 20, and supplies vibration to the inner bottom surface 22 and the transport path 24.

Next, a description will be given of a method of using the above-mentioned chopped laver supply device to measure the chopped laver by a predetermined amount. FIG. 2 shows a top view of the inner bottom surface. First, the cut seaweed 30 cut by a seaweed cutting device (not shown) is continuously dropped on the portion A of the inner bottom surface 22 in the seaweed supply device. In this part A, as shown in FIG. 3, the chopped laver is often engaged with each other. However, the engagement is gradually released by the vibration generated by a vibration generator (not shown). In addition, this vibration is supplied in such a manner that the nori seaweed 30 moves in a circular motion in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 and, at the same time, a slope is formed on the inner bottom surface 22 toward the peripheral direction. As shown by the dotted arrow 2, it moves toward the inner wall surface while making a circular motion. In this manner, the chopped laver 30 released from the engaged state is
It receives a rotating force that makes a circular motion due to vibration and a force that slides down a slope at the same time, and is evenly distributed so that the amount does not vary depending on the location. Furthermore, the chopped laver 30 evenly leveled is transferred to the transport path 2 by receiving the rotational force.
4 to the opening 25. The chopped nori 30 transported to the opening 25 falls from the tip 26. At this time, the chopped laver 30 during falling is evenly leveled, so that the chopped laver packaging device separates the chopped laver 30 during falling by predetermined intervals, so that the laver 30 can be easily measured by a predetermined amount. The dispensed chopped laver 30 is put in a bag 31 shown in FIG. 3, and the opening of the bag 31 is closed.

[0008] When chopped laver is chopped into a square, it can be more easily dispensed by a predetermined amount. In the present invention, a square means that the ratio of the length of the short side to the length of the long side is 1: 2 to 1:
1 square. In particular, a remarkable effect appears as the ratio of the length of the short side to the long side approaches 1: 1 (square). FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of chopped laver cut into a square. 40 is chopped laver, which is carved into a square. As described above, by cutting the cut seaweed into a square shape, the engagement between the seaweed seaweeds can be smoothly released, and the seaweed can be easily evenly distributed so that the amount is not uneven depending on the place. Further, when the chopped nori is dropped from the tip end portion 26 of the transport path 24, some of the strip-shaped chopped nori 30 fall while rotating around the longitudinal direction. Since the chopped laver 30 that falls while rotating is longer than the chopped laver 30 that falls without rotating,
In some cases, the opening of the bag 31 was closed with the chopped laver 30 still falling. However, by making the chopped laver into a square, the chopped laver 40 falls stably without rotating during falling, so that the chopped laver is caught in the opening of the bag 31 and closes the opening of the bag 31 as it is. Defects can be eliminated.

Although various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Of course.

[0010]

According to the method for packaging chopped laver according to the present invention, even if the chopped laver is engaged with each other, the engagement is easily released, and the amount of the laver is not uneven depending on the place. So that it can be transported to the bag. For this reason, it is easy to dispense by a predetermined amount, and a fixed amount of chopped laver can always be packaged.
In addition, by using the cut seaweed that is cut in a square shape, the engagement between the seaweed seaweeds can be more smoothly released, and the seaweed seaweed can be evenly distributed in some places so that the amount of seaweed is not uneven. It is even easier to do. In addition, when the chopped laver cut into a square is dropped from the front end of the transport path, it falls more stably than the strip-shaped chopped laver, so when it is put in a bag, the opening of the bag is still falling. It will not be closed with chopped seaweed sandwiched. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the problem that the opening of the bag is closed while the chopped laver is sandwiched.
