Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a device for arranging fish, strings, etc.

In general, natural foods vary in shape and size, making it difficult to standardize their handling during processing and treatment steps.

The same goes for fish; for example, there is a process of aligning the heads before the ζ-dialing process, but conventionally the aligning machine shown in Figure 1 has been used.

The device shown in Figure 1 is intended for lining up large fish such as mackerel.A wire mesh (b) is fixed to the bottom of a pedestal (α), and sliders (C) are fixed at both ends. C) is inserted into the guide rod (d), and the cradle (α) is moved through the guide rod @) by appropriate driving.
This is an alignment machine that reciprocates left and right along the

While moving the pedestal (α), when a fish is dropped onto the center surface using a gutter (C), etc., the head of the fish is roughly shaped like a cannonball and has scales and fins. The fish moves forward in the direction it points its head without resistance, and its scales and gills get caught in the mesh and do not move forward in the direction its tail points, so it moves forward in the direction its head points.

Therefore, guide gutters (not shown) are placed on both ends to guide the fish as shown by the dashed line.

With this conventional sorting machine, when a large number of fish are dropped onto the pedestal, the pedestal simply slides left and right. Because the guide gutter is bent, the fish collide with each other, causing them to bounce off each other and end up in opposite directions, making it impossible to line up all the fish in the same direction during processing, making it difficult to handle by hand. Due to the work, it was necessary to correct the orientation of the fish.

In addition, this sorting machine could not line up small fish such as sardines well, and furthermore, it was not possible to line up small fish such as sardines for the following reasons: If the fish were not fresh enough, they would become slimy.

From this point of view, the present invention aims to accurately line up and send out fish and the like from one location regardless of their size or freshness.

In order to solve this technical problem, the present invention connects the rear part of the receiving frame to the machine base via a crank or eccentric mechanism,
The technical means is that the front part is pivotally connected to a support whose one end is pivoted to the machine base, and a punched wire mesh is fixed to the receiving frame.

According to this technical means, the rear part of the receiving frame performs a circular motion with the axis perpendicular to the direction of fish movement as the axis of rotation, and in synchronization with this, the front part of the receiving frame reciprocates both downward and forward at the same time as -L. Do exercise. Then, when a fish is dropped onto a punched wire mesh fixed to a receiving frame, the fish will move from side to side on the wire mesh due to the circular motion of the rear part. When moving to the fish's side, the rear side edges of the punched holes in the wire mesh catch scales and fins, and the bullet-shaped head of the fish and the slimy surface combine to cause the fish to move forward. The wire mesh is advanced intermittently towards the area, and the fish are sent out from the front of the wire mesh with their heads aligned.

Fish that turn sideways or backwards are gradually removed by the front opening edge of the hole providing resistance to the scales and fins as the wire mesh moves toward the rear, and by the continuous rotational movement of the wire mesh. The animal is sent forward through the wire mesh in the manner described above, with its head facing forward.

It should be noted that even if a fish lands on a fish that has fallen onto the wire mesh, this is a temporary phenomenon and will be resolved in a short time because the wire mesh rotates.

In explaining the action and effect mentioned above, I used fish as an example, but in some cases, such as stribeans and double-cut butterbur, resistance is not given to the middle part, but resistance is given to the end part. Food products in the form of hooking on the edge of a punching opening, which carries out a rotational movement, can also be aligned in the longitudinal direction by the above-mentioned technical means.

Examples of embodiments of the support that supports the rotational movement of the receiving frame include the following.

The first embodiment is a technical means in which the length of the support and the mounting position between the receiving frame and the machine stand are fixed,
The motion of the receiving frame is always kept constant, and this is sufficient if the same product, for example, sardines, is to be continuously lined up.

The second embodiment is a technical means that can change the mounting position of the support frame and/or the support body on the machine stand.The more the support point of the support frame is moved to the front, the more can be made smaller.

In the third embodiment, the technical means is that the mounting position of the support frame and/or the machine base can be changed, and in the fourth embodiment, the technical means is that the length of the support itself can be adjusted. In both cases, the height of the front part of the receiving frame can be adjusted.

The embodiments 1 to 4 above may be selected and determined by taking into consideration the nature and type of the objects to be aligned, the desired alignment speed, etc.

Next, an embodiment of the above technical means shown in the drawings will be described.

The machine stand (1) is formed by combining appropriate frames (2), and above it a receiving frame (11) is arranged in a slightly forward-looking state.

The rotating shaft (4), which is supported by a bearing (31 (3)) fixed to the rear upper surface of the machine base (1), is an eccentric ring (4) that is supported by a metal fitting (14) at the bottom of the outer ring side (old receiving frame). 121 (12) and is fixed thereto, the rotation of the motor (6) is received by the boo IJ-(5) fixed to the rotating shaft (3), and the receiving frame (
The rear part of the mark causes rotational movement.

A pair of left and right supports (15) are provided at the front lower part of the receiving frame (11).
), and the upper end is pinned to the bottom of the receiving frame, and the lower end is pinned to the machine frame (2).

Side walls (16) 16) are attached to the left and right side edges of the receiving frame (11), and the punched wire mesh (17) shown in Fig. 5 is attached to the receiving frame (I I) J: (arrows indicate the direction of movement). is fixed so that the fish is guided by a guide plate (20) and falls onto the wire mesh αη.

As shown in Figure 6, a flow rate adjustment plate (221) is attached to the front part of the receiving frame 01), which can be rotated with a wire mesh αη'2.
The amount of fish supplied is adjusted according to two post-processes with different processing capacities (if there is only one post-process, it goes without saying that this flow rate adjustment plate is unnecessary). .

The size, shape, and density of the punched holes 08) in the wire mesh αη must be changed depending on the type, size, shape, etc. of the objects to be aligned. This is because the rotational movement of the wire mesh αn makes the hole 0
The purpose of the hook on the rear opening edge of the barrel is to encourage the objects to be lined up to move forward, and while small circular holes are good for Ingen beans, they cannot encourage forward movement for fish, so the holes shown in Figure 5 are used. It is better to have a hole with an opening edge perpendicular to the direction of travel, as shown in the figure.

It goes without saying that the size of the holes must also be considered so that the objects to be aligned do not fall through the punched holes.

In the above embodiment, an eccentric mechanism was used, but as shown in FIG.
It may also be pivoted on.

Next, examples of technical means in the embodiment will be described.

In the case of the second embodiment, the front part of the receiving frame 01) and the frame (2) are provided with a plate protruding from the plate with a large number of pin holes, and a pin C34) 434) is provided protruding from the lower end of the receiving frame 01). Support c3: You may use J to select the pin insertion hole (see Figure 8), attach the rail C39C%A to the front part of the receiving frame (++) and the frame (2), and support it. body 0
The pins (to) (to) protruding from the upper and lower ends of 7) may be configured to slide, and the position of the appropriate stopper 091 (pin C38 using 4@) may be fixed (9th (see figure), or other known configurations may be adopted.

In the case of the third embodiment, although not shown, a known position change structure may be used, such as protruding the receiving frame and pin, drilling a number of holes in the support, and selecting the insertion hole for the pin. Become.

Although not shown in the fourth embodiment, the support body is composed of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, and the length can be selected by inserting pins or bolts into the inner and outer cylinders at desired positions. Adopt the following configuration.

Although explanations have been omitted in any of the above embodiments, the rotating shaft and bearing, the eccentric ring and outer ring, the pin and pin receiver or pin hole, etc.
Needless to say, a sliding means such as a bearing or oil is interposed between the two.
