Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change the orientation attitude of an object to be conveyed relative to an endless body without direct contact with the object to be conveyed by installing a placing body on the endless body in such a manner as to freely rotate round the shaft center for rotation along the vertical direction, and applying turning force to the placing body. SOLUTION: In a bucket conveyer 1, a chain 2 as an example of a wrapped endless body is of a plural-line conveyance type in which disc-like buckets 3 as a placing body are installed by fixed pitch. Brackets 4 are fitted to the chain 2 by fixed pitch in the conveying direction, and a bucket support 5 is connected to the bracket 4 in such a manner as to freely rotate round the axis (x) of a longitudinal shaft along the conveying direction. Further, the bucket 3 is connected to the bucket support 5 through a support shaft in such a manner as to freely rotate round the axis (y) of a vertical shaft. The lower surface of the bucket 3 is contact-supported on the bucket support 5, and moderate rotational frictional resistance such that the bucket 3 is kept from being rotated unpreparedly by vibration during the movement is given to the bucket.

[0004] Further, with the former method of simultaneously photographing the upper surface and the left and right lateral surfaces of the fruit with one camera, the front and rear sides of the fruit cannot be completely photographed, and the entire side surface of the fruit is photographed. To do this, place the fruits on the conveyor around the vertical axis
It is necessary to rotate it by 0 degrees and then take the picture again. But,
Since the size and shape of fruits are not always constant, it is extremely difficult to rotate them exactly 90 degrees. In addition, when rotating the fruit, the rotating operation member or the like is brought into direct contact with the fruit, so that the surface of the fruit may be damaged, which poses a practical problem.

[Other Embodiments] The apparatus for transporting agricultural products and the measuring apparatus using the same according to the present invention can be implemented in the following forms. (1) A belt may be used as the endless body 2 constituting the bucket conveyor 1 in addition to using a chain as described above. (2) In addition to the circular dish-shaped bucket, the placing object 3 may be a square dish-shaped bucket, a bucket having an opening through which dust can be dropped, or a basket-shaped bucket. What is necessary is just to set arbitrarily according to an object. (3) As shown in FIG. 10, when the gear 35 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bucket 3 is configured to mesh with a rack 36 fixedly arranged on the conveyor side as a means for rotating the bucket 3, a more secure constant An angular rotation operation can be performed. (4) When the mounting body 3 is not a circular dish-shaped bucket, a disk or a gear is attached to the lower extension of the support shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and the belt 11 and the rack 32 for rotating operation are actuated. It is good to make it. (5) If a ball-type or ratchet-type detent mechanism is provided on the rotation shaft support of the bucket 3, it is possible to more reliably prevent the bucket 3 from rotating and shifting during transport. (6) As shown in FIG. 11, a mark 37 is provided on the upper surface of the peripheral portion of the bucket 3 and a plurality of indications 38 indicating the quality, the grade, etc. are provided on the bucket support 5 and the bucket 3 is mounted on the bucket 3. The bucket 3 is rotated by operating the bucket 3 according to the quality of the placed object to be transported w, the grade, etc., so that the mark 37 is aligned with the corresponding display 38.
Thus, the present invention can be effectively used for a sorting type transport apparatus that sorts and collects the transport target object w directly and manually. In this case, it is desirable to hold the position of the bucket 3 by a detent mechanism. (7) As the measuring means 7 for measuring the transport target w, in addition to the mode of obtaining two-dimensional image data by one photographing, a line sensor is used to relatively move the transport target w with transport. It is also possible to adopt a form in which two-dimensional image data is obtained by scanning and photographing. (8) As shown in FIG. 12, while the bucket 3 is rotated around the vertical axis y by the driven and rotated belt 11, the shutter is released at a high speed by the camera 39 provided above the bucket 3 so that the transfer object w is By sequentially photographing the upper surface and the side surface, the entire periphery of the upper surface and the side surface of the transport target object w can be photographed and measured. (9) As the measuring means 7 for measuring the object to be conveyed w The dimension of the object w in the transport direction may be measured. According to this, the measurement is performed with the phases shifted by 90 degrees at two locations in the transport direction, so that the dimensions of the front, rear, left, and right of the transport object w can be measured. Can be measured. (10) When the bucket conveyor 1 is intermittently moved, the bucket 3 can be rotated around the vertical axis y while the bucket 3 is stopped at a predetermined measurement position in the transport direction to perform photographing measurement or the like. (11) The attitude of the bucket 3 measured from the information obtained by the measuring means 7 to determine the planar attitude of the transfer target object w on the bucket 3 so as to be a convenient attitude for the subsequent removal processing and the like. It is also possible to correct the rotational position based on the information. For example, when handling slender agricultural products such as cucumbers and eggplants, the bucket 3 is turned over by correcting the rotation position so that the longitudinal direction of the transported object w is parallel to the turning axis x of the bucket 3. When discharging the object to be transported, the object to be transported w can be smoothly rolled and discharged. In addition, the rotation of the bucket 3 can be used to correct the posture to a desired posture that can be easily taken out by the suction pad or the opening / closing claw.
