Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a long object arranging device for arranging vertically long objects (hereinafter referred to as long objects), such as green beans such as fava beans, Japanese peas, and green beans, in a fixed direction. .

The work of arranging the long objects is necessary, for example, as a pre-work of the sorting work of sorting the green pod beans.

In this kind of sorting work, a worker standing on the side of the conveyor visually selects the rotten items from among the long items such as green beans being transferred on the sorting conveyor. If the long objects are oriented unevenly,
It is difficult and inefficient to sort long items while turning them inside out. Or, it has drawbacks such as eye strain.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a long article alignment device that reliably, quickly and efficiently aligns and supplies long articles, which are supplied with uneven longitudinal directions, in a constant direction on a supply conveyor. , which aims to solve the above problems.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral (1) is a supply conveyor, on the transfer start end side (right side in FIG. 1), on which the supplied long objects (2), such as green pod beans, are placed and transferred.

This supply conveyor (1) is provided with a plurality of belt conveyors (3) of the same width and length arranged in parallel so that the conveyance surfaces are flush with each other, and each belt conveyor (3)... It is configured to be able to operate independently.

The transfer surface at the end of the supply conveyor (1) is formed with an inclined portion (4) that slopes downward toward the end.

(5) is an alignment belt, and the supply conveyor (1)
A single belt is stretched over the entire width of the supply conveyor (1) in a direction (lateral direction) almost orthogonal to the transport direction of the supply conveyor (1) at a position at an appropriate interval (6) in front of the end of the supply conveyor (1). , and is configured to be rotated by a drive motor (7).

In addition, the belt surface of the alignment belt (5) is connected to the supply conveyor (
an inclined surface (1) that receives the long object (2) sent out from the end of the object (2) and guides it to fall downward from the space (6);
8).

In this embodiment, the inclined surface (8) is approximately perpendicular (approximately 60 degrees) to the inclined surface of the inclined portion (4) of the supply conveyor (1).

Further, the alignment belt (5) is attached with a membrane so as to be movable back and forth and up and down, and the width of the interval (6) is adjustable.

Moreover, the inclination angle of the inclined surface (8) can also be adjusted.

The distance between the end of the supply conveyor (1) and the alignment bench (5) is determined by the length of the long article (#) transferred on the supply conveyor (1).
2) In the case where the longitudinal direction is vertical or diagonal, the width is set so that the leading end can come into contact with the alignment belt (5) when it falls from the end of the supply conveyor (1). ing.

At this time, the distance (6) is preferably such that when the long object (2) whose longitudinal direction is substantially horizontal falls, it falls directly downward without contacting the alignment belt (5). There is no practical problem even if it comes into contact with (5) to some extent.

Reference numeral (9) denotes a guide chute, which is provided below the alignment belt (5) and close to the inclined surface (8) over its entire length so that the shoe 1 surface is connected to the inclined surface (8). The inclination angle of the guide sheets (9) is gentler than the inclination angle of the alignment belt (5).

This guide sheet (9) may not be necessary for practical use in some cases.

00 is provided below the interval (6), and this interval (
6) This is a sorting conveyor that receives the long objects (2) falling from the section and transports them in a certain direction. are arranged so that they are equally transported in the same direction.

This alignment conveyor 00 is provided with a plurality of belt conveyors aυ... having the same width and the same length arranged in parallel so that the conveying surface becomes the same, and each belt conveyor 01)... It is configured to be linked to the operation of the belt conveyor (3) and can be operated independently.

The alignment conveyors Q1 are arranged one after the other with their end portions in the transport direction overlapping each other to form a low step (6).

This step (2) is used to freeze long objects (2) that are transferred on the alignment conveyor 01 with their longitudinal direction facing sideways, and to turn them upside down when they fall down this step (2). When the long objects (2) are fed onto the supply conveyor (1), the long objects (2) remain uneven in their longitudinal direction.
be transported.

Among the long objects (2) transferred on the supply conveyor (1),
If the mounting position is such that the longitudinal direction is almost horizontal, it will slide on the slope of the slope part (4), or depending on the setting of the width of the interval (6) between the rollers, the long object (2) can be placed horizontally.
The alignment belt (5) and the guide chute (9) or guided only by the guide chute (9), the alignment con u6) falls onto the bare shaft, but since it is horizontal, the alignment belt (5) and the guide chute Simply rolling down the slope shown in (9) causes the object to fall without changing direction.

Moreover, among the long articles (2), those whose longitudinal direction is vertical slide on the inclined surface of the inclined part (4) and try to fall off from the terminal end of the supply conveyor (1) with the center of gravity on the front side. , it does not fall as it is, but its tip comes into contact with the /L/ ) surface of the alignment belt (5), and this alignment belt (5)
) is oriented laterally by the conveying force of the vertically oriented object (2), so that this longitudinally oriented elongate (2) is turned laterally and is guided by the slope of the belt surface and guided into the guide chute (9) so that the distance From the (6) section, it turns sideways at %+03 and falls onto the alignment conveyor.

A long article (2) that is transported on the supply conveyor (1) with its longitudinal direction oblique to the transport direction is a vertically oriented long article (2).
), the sheets fall off from the end of the supply conveyor (1) while rolling or sliding on the slope (4),
It is guided by the inclined surface of the alignment belt (5), changes its direction sideways, is guided to the guide chute (9), and falls onto the alignment conveyor through the gaps (10) and (6).

A part of the diagonally oriented long object (2) is connected to the supply conveyor (1).
) The terminal end directly contacts the guide chute (9), is aligned horizontally by the inclined surface of the guide chute (9), and falls onto the alignment conveyor.

Therefore, long objects (2) that are placed on the supply conveyor (1) in uneven positions are placed sideways if their longitudinal directions are horizontal, and long objects (2) that are oriented vertically or diagonally are aligned. Belt (5) and guide chute (9
), when the long objects (1) fall from the end of the supply conveyor (1), they are reliably and quickly changed sideways and are aligned. Then, they are transported in a fixed direction on the alignment conveyor shaft. .

In addition, if the alignment belt (5) is stretched as a single belt over the entire width of the front end of the supply conveyor (1) that is arranged in parallel, each supply conveyor (1) can be stretched by this single belt. It is efficient because a large amount of long objects (2) fed by step 1) can be lined up at the same time.In addition, when the long objects (2) are fed falling in a certain direction on the sorting conveyor, the long objects (2) In the case of green pod beans, the worker standing on the side of the lined-up bear visually inspects the lined-up long items (2) on the bear to detect defective items such as rotten ones on the surface. Since the long objects (2) are oriented in the same direction, the task of selecting defective products is easier to see and less tiring.

(It) In particular, when the alignment conveyor is aligned with the supply conveyor (1) and stretched in the same direction, the long items (2) are placed on the alignment conveyor shaft with their longitudinal direction facing sideways. Therefore, if a step (2) is provided in front of the alignment conveyor in the transfer direction as in this example, it is possible to easily turn over the long items (2) to see the back side during transfer, and the worker can There is no need to turn the paper over by hand, making the sorting work more efficient.

If each belt conveyor (3) forming the supply carp conveyor (1) and the corresponding belt conveyor 0υ forming the alignment conveyor 01 are configured to be able to operate independently, each belt conveyor ( 9) Transfer amount can be controlled by selecting and operating θυ.

(10) By arranging a plurality of aligning conveyor shafts in parallel, it is possible to spread out the long objects (2) and transport them in large quantities without overlapping them.

In addition, if the alignment belt (5) is provided so that it can be moved back and forth, or if the inclination angle of the belt surface is adjustable,
Alignment belts (5
) can adjust the alignment effect.

That is, the tip of the fabric (2) whose longitudinal direction is vertical, which is about to be dropped from the end of the supply conveyor (1), is placed on the alignment belt (5).
) The alignment action can be performed efficiently by adjusting the length of the long object (2) so that it can be reliably received by the belt surface of the object (2).

At this time, it is even better if the guide chute (9) is also adjustable along with the alignment belt (5).

゛Mata, in this embodiment, the alignment conveyor (Ill.
Although we have explained the case of sorting long items (2) in 1-, even when packaging these long items (2), since the long items (2) are directionally aligned on the alignment conveyor (II-h), , it can be dropped into boxes as is, and can be applied to efficient boxing work.

In this invention, the long objects (2) are sent out from the end of the supply ice conveyor (1) and are placed at an appropriate interval (6) in front of the end of the supply conveyor (1) on which the long objects (2) are carried and transported. Since the long object arranging device is constituted by horizontally stretching and rotating the arranging belt (5) having a tilting belt (8) so as to fall downward from the interval (6), the supply conveyor (1) Even if the long objects (2) to be fed are not aligned in the same direction, the horizontal long objects (2) sent out from the end of the supply conveyor (2) will remain spaced in the same direction. (6) The long objects (2) that are oriented vertically or vertically are received by the belt surface of the alignment belt (5), and are aligned horizontally at intervals of (6).
) The long objects (2) that are irregular because they fall from the supply conveyor (1) can be reliably aligned in a constant force direction by the alignment belt (5) when they fall from the supply conveyor (1).

The distance (6) between the end of the supply conveyor (1) and the alignment belt (5) is such that the long object (2) to be transferred on the supply conveyor (1) 1- is placed in a position in which the longitudinal direction is vertical. If the long objects (2) that are vertically transported on the supply conveyor (1) are placed on the alignment belt (5) and set to the width of the drying rack, the long objects (2) that are transported vertically on the supply conveyor (1) will fall from the end of the supply conveyor (1). Sometimes,
The distal end of the alignment belt (5) is reliably received by the alignment belt (5), and the conveying force of the alignment belt (5) can reliably turn the alignment sideways.

A plurality of the supply conveyors (1) are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction, and the alignment belt (5) is stretched as a single belt to rotate over the entire width of the front end of each supply conveyor (1). When installed, a large amount of long objects (2) transported by multiple feed conveyors (1) can be transferred to a single alignment belt (5).
It is efficient because it can be quickly aligned when falling F.

Note that if an alignment conveyor a1 is provided below the gap (6) to receive the long objects (2) falling from the gap (6) and transfer them in a certain direction, the aligned long objects (2) will be aligned. The conveyor 00 allows transportation in a fixed direction, making sorting and packaging operations easier.

In addition, if the alignment conveyor 01 is made to correspond to the supply conveyor (1) and a plurality of strips are stretched in parallel in the same direction, the supply conveyor (
The long items (2) that are dropped from 1) are placed on the alignment conveyor OQ.
F] can be transported in a state in which they are spread in the width direction without being superimposed on each other, and the longitudinal direction is oriented horizontally.

In addition, move the alignment belt (5) back and forth or downward 1
If the function or the inclination angle of the belt surface is adjustable, the alignment action of the alignment belt (5) can be adjusted even if the long objects (2) fed to the supply bell (1) have different degrees of penetration! 4 things (
2) can be reliably aligned.
