Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To install a grain bag transport device in a restricted area. SOLUTION: A grain bag transport device is formed so that a grain tank 1 is set at a specified height by columns 2, a space of a specified height is formed under the grain tank 1, and a bag holding device 10 capable of holding grain bags 5 is supported on the columns 2 movably in vertical direction and swingably by a first rotating arm 7, a second rotating arm 8, and a chain 8. Because the bag holding device 10 is installed at the top of the columns 2, a big space can be formed around the grain tank 1, and thus packaging of grain into bags and transport of the bags can be performed easily even in an restricted area.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grain bag conveying device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is heavy labor to pack brown rice that has been hulled by a hulling sorter and stack it on a pallet. Devices for stacking brown rice bags on pallets have been developed.

[0003]

However, the conventional apparatus is a large-sized apparatus requiring a large installation area, requires a large work space, and cannot be installed in a small work place. . Therefore, the present invention is to solve such a disadvantage.

[0004]

The present invention has taken the following technical measures in order to solve the drawbacks of the prior art. According to the present invention, the grain tank 1 is installed at a predetermined height with the support 2, a space of a predetermined height is formed below the grain tank 1, and the space is supported by the support 2 so as to be pivotable about the vertical axis. A grain bag carrying device characterized by supporting a bag holding device 10 that can freely rotate and move up and down via a first rotating arm 7 that is provided.

[0005]

[Function] When the grains are packed in the grain bag 5 and sealed, the support 2
The first rotating arm 7 attached to the
The bag holding device 10 is turned around the vertical axis or moved up and down, and the left and right hands 10c, 10c of the bag holding device 10 hold the grain bag 5, and the first rotating arm 7 and Bag holding device 10
Is moved to a predetermined place in the same manner, and the grain bags 5 are stacked.

[0006]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the bag holding device 10 is controlled by the first rotating arm 7 using the column 2 for installing the grain tank 1 at a high position. And the installation area is not required, so that the bag holding device 10 can be installed even in a small place, and the grain tank 1
In addition, a wide space can be formed around the column 2, and the bagging and transport of the grain tank 1 can be facilitated.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below. The four pillars 2, 2, ... support the periphery of the grain tank 1 for storing grains such as brown rice to a predetermined height, and a space of a predetermined height is formed below the grain tank 1. ing. In this grain tank 1, for example, brown rice that has been hulled by a hulling sorter (not shown) is fried by a hulling machine 3 and stored. A grain measuring device 4 is arranged below the outlet of the grain tank 1, and is configured to take out the stored brown rice into the grain bag 5 while measuring a predetermined amount at a time.

Next, a grain transport device attached to one column 2 will be described. At the upper part of the column 2 and on the side of the grain tank 1, a support 6 is attached.
The first turning arm 7 is pivotally supported so as to be able to turn about 270 degrees around the vertical axis, and the first turning arm is provided by a motor (not shown) provided in the support 6. The system 7 can be turned. A second rotating arm 8 capable of turning around the vertical axis is pivotally supported on the tip of the first rotating arm 7, and the first rotating arm 8 is firstly rotated by a motor (not shown) provided on the pivoting portion. The second rotating arm 8 can be turned about 360 degrees with respect to the moving arm 7.

A chain 9 which can be expanded and contracted by a drive unit (not shown) is provided at the tip of the second rotating arm 8, and a bag gripping device 10 is suspended from the tip of the chain 9. The bag holding device 10 includes a pair of left and right support frames 10a, 10a.
a, the upper and lower ends of which are pivotally supported by the supporting frames 10a, 10a, and open and closed in the left-right direction, and the lower holding portions 10b,
The left and right hands 10c, 10c capable of gripping the grain bag 5 with 10b, and a motor (not shown) for opening and closing the left and right hands 10c, 10c. An operation box 11 is attached to the support frame 10a.

The operation box 11 is provided with various switches and displays. By operating these switches, the first rotating arm 7 is turned and stopped, and the second rotating arm 7 is turned. Arm 8 turning and stopping, left and right hand 1
The opening and closing operation of Oc and 10c is possible. Reference numeral 12 denotes a pallet for stacking the grain bags 5, 5,. Next, a modified example of the grain transport device will be described.

Instead of a structure in which the first rotating arm 7 and the second rotating arm 8 are rotated by a motor (not shown), the first rotating arm 7 and the second rotating arm 8 are simply pivotally supported, and are rotated by manual operation of an operator. It may be configured to operate. In supporting the first rotating arm 7 to pivot, the first pivot arm 7 may be supported so as to be able to pivot 360 degrees below the grain tank 1 on the column 2. Further, an arm that rotates in the vertical direction may be provided at the tip of the first rotating arm 7, and the bag gripping device 10 may be supported by the arm.
Further, instead of the chain 9 that expands and contracts, the bag gripping device 10 may be moved up and down by a cylinder that expands and contracts by air or hydraulic pressure. Further, a hulling sorter (not shown) may be arranged below the grain tank 1, the brown rice taken out of the hulling sorter may be packed in the grain bag 5, and transported by the bag holding device 10.

Next, the operation of the above configuration example will be described. The brown rice stored in the grain tank 1 is measured by a grain measuring device 4.
Then, the sample is weighed by a predetermined amount and packed into the grain bag 5, and the opening of the grain bag 5 is closed. Next, the operator lays down the grain bag 5 and then operates the switch section of the operation box 11 to extend the chain 9 and lower the bag gripping device 10 to the grain bag 5, and then switch Operate the left and right hand 1
The grain bags 5 are gripped by rotating the insides 0c and 10c inward.

Next, the first rotating arm 7 and the second rotating arm 8 are turned by operating the switch section, and are turned to the position indicated by the imaginary line in the drawing to the position above the pallet 12. The operator operates the grain bag 5 while moving the chain 9 while extending the chain 9, and stacks the bag on the pallet 12.
With the above structure, the bag 2 is gripped by the first rotating arm 7, the second rotating arm 8 and the chain 9 by using the column 2 for setting the grain tank 1 at a high position. Since the holding device 10 is installed, an installation area is not required, and a wide space can be formed around the grain tank 1 and the columns 2, 2,. The degree of freedom can be secured, and the grain bag 5 can be transported smoothly and smoothly even in a narrow place.
