Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically separate and feed a freezing vessel, by constituting a device such that separating members turning on a circular track are wedged between edges of the freezing vessels for the commuercial material such as fish meat or the like fitted to each other, and the vessel is unfitted and dropped downward. CONSTITUTION:Piled freezing vessels 1 are placed between stopped rotary members 5, 5. In this way, an edge 2 of the vessel 1 in the lowermost stage is engaged to separating members 3, 3. Then if the members 5, 5 are synchronously rotated by an interlocking member 8, the separating member 3 is turned and the members 3, 3 supporting the edge 2 of the vessel 1 in the lowermost stage are gradually detached. On the contrary, the separating members 3, 3 corresponding to a space (a) between the edges 2, 2 of the vessels in the lowermost and the next stages are gradually approximated, and the members 3, 3 are wedged into the space (a) in a position aligned to a horizontal center line X of the rotary members 5, 5 to apply wedge action. In this way, the vessel is unfitted and successively dropped to a supply conveyer 7 from the vessel 1 in the lowermost stage. In such way, the vessel can be automatically separated and supplied.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a device for separating containers, etc. from one rotational movement of a separating member and sending them downward one by one.

Conventionally, in order to freeze commercial raw materials such as surimi and okami, these commercial raw materials are first placed into a synthetic resin film bag or a continuously sealed cylindrical packaging tube using a quantitative filling machine. Constant! (for example, 10 kg), and if the packaging container is a bag, manually fold the opening of the packaging after filling and place it in an empty freezing container. In the case of an automatic packaging machine that produces bags, the extrusion of the material is temporarily stopped to create a space in which no material is accommodated in the packaging cylinder, and at the same time, the packaging cylinder is rolled in this space. The packaging tube is cut and separated from the subsequent packaging materials, and the commercial raw materials that have been automatically filled and sealed in fM bags are continuously slid into empty freezing containers that are supplied from a conveyor or the like. It is used to store and send to the freezing process, and is for empty freezing!
The containers were fed one by one by hand, both when filling them manually and when automatically filling them using an automatic bag-forming-fill-sealing machine. However, these freezing containers are generally made of a metal with good thermal conductivity, weigh more than q kilograms, and are made in a shape that does not add bulk when stacked. When several 70 of these containers are stacked together, the bottom ones fit tightly together and are difficult to remove, and the height of the stack reaches up to 1,000 g meters, so remove the stacked containers one by one from the top. Loading the equipment onto the supply conveyor requires a full-time worker of /
In addition, if the height of the stacked containers becomes about 0.S meters F, replenishment personnel are required to replenish the stacked containers until the height reaches the original height, so the supply of containers is reduced by one more. Not only does it require manpower, but it is also a difficult task to remove the tightly fitted containers and feed the packaged materials at the same time, which causes significant worker fatigue. There was a desire for a machine that could separate tightly fitted containers and feed them one by one, but there was no machine that could meet this demand.

The present invention has been made to satisfy the above-mentioned needs.
The separating member is rotated by one rotating body, inserted into the gap between the edges of the freezing containers, etc., and the containers are unfitted and dropped downward, thereby removing the stacked containers one by one from below. The purpose of this device is to provide a device in which the operation of picking up and feeding it to a supply conveyor is automatically carried out.6.
1.1. Next, the apparatus related to the present invention 1 will be explained based on the drawings as follows.

In Figure 1, a partial diagram showing the basic configuration, ■
is a stack of freezing containers that fit together, with the upper end 1
The can edges 2 are in close contact with each other, or they are slightly apart, with a gap a between the can edges 2 in either case. 3 is the container 1
A separating member, such as a row, which has a width larger than the gap a between the edges 2 of the stacked containers 1, and is a disc-shaped container that is rotated about the shaft 4t with a pitch matching the gap a between the edges 2 of the stacked containers 1. It is attached to the rotating body 5 with the shaft 6, and the rotation of the rotating body 5 causes the circular orbit to turn, and it enters the gap a of the edge 2 slightly above the horizontal center line The container 1 is inserted into the gap a of the edge 2, and the container 1 is disengaged from the container 1 at this time, and the lower container 1 is dropped onto the supply conveyor 7 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 7. Second
The figure is a modification of FIG. 1, in which a stopper 2' is provided below the edge 2 of the container 11 to limit the fitting of the container l.
A gap a is formed between the edge 2 and the edge 2. In this case, a separating member 3 such as a roller having a width larger than the gap a is moved around the shaft 4t by matching the pitch of each gap at. It is attached to a rotary body 5 to be rotated by a shaft 6 and operated in the same manner as in FIG. Drawing number 3 is number 1
The apparatus shown in FIG. 10 is shown in its entirety, with the rotating bodies 5, 5 rotating the separation member 3.3 synchronously rotated by an interlocking member 8, such as a bevel gear. FIG. 1 shows a modification of the device shown in FIG. The separating member 3 is attached in accordance with the pitch of the gap, and the rotating body 10 acts to push the separation member 3 into the gap a, similar to the rotating bodies 5, 5 in the previous embodiment, and the rotating bodies 10, 10 are used as umbrellas. It is designed so that it can be rotated synchronously by an interlocking member 12 such as a gear. Drawings S, O, and 7 show an example of an apparatus for storing packaging material +3 in the freezing container 1 described above and sending it to the freezing process.
The raw material is extruded through a nozzle 15 into a packaging tube 14 made of a sheet, and when the material 10 reaches a certain amount, for example, 70 kg, the material is quantified by draining the material juice without cutting the packaging tube 14. A quantitative filling machine (the drawing is omitted because it is a well-known machine) temporarily stops the extrusion of the material to create a void in the packaging tube 14, and a fixed amount filling machine (the drawing is omitted because it is a well-known machine) receives and transfers the packed material and seals it. Member 16”; 16
and cutters 17, 17 are moved together to seal the front of the space of the packaging tube 14 in the traveling direction, and the belt conveyor 18 separates the individual packaging materials 13 by cutting the adjacent area; A roller conveyor 9 is provided in an inclined manner at the front to slide the packaging material 13 into the freezing container 1, and a roller conveyor 9 is provided between the belt conveyor 18 and the roller conveyor 9 to slide the packaging material 13 into the freezing container 1.
The opening C of 4 is pressed downward as shown in Figure A, and when the packaging material 13 is transferred to the roller conveyor 9, the opening C is laid downward as shown by the chain line in the same figure. ,
The feed conveyor 7 is provided between an air pipe 20 for sealing the opening and the rollers below the roller conveyor 9, and when the container 1 is fed through the transfer piece 21) of the feed conveyor 7, It is installed between a roller conveyor 22 that sends the container 1 to the sliding position of the packaging material + 3 and the roller conveyor 22 corresponding to the tip of the roller conveyor 9 until the packaging material 13 reaches the tip of the roller conveyor 9. protrudes onto the conveyor 22 to prevent the conveyor 22 from transporting the container 1, and the packaging material 13 is transferred to the roller conveyor 1.
When the detector 23 provided at the tip of the roller 9 is activated, a stopper 24 is pulled in from the roller conveyor 22 to advance the container 1, and a stopper 24 is used to receive the packaging material 13 sent by the roller conveyor 22 and proceed to the freezing process. a conveyor 25 for transporting containers 1; a limit switch 26 that is activated when a container 1 falls onto the supply conveyor 7 and transports the supply conveyor 7 below the roller conveyor 19;
The supply conveyor 7 is actuated by the transfer piece 211 that sent the
a limit switch 27 for reversing the movement of the transfer piece 21; a limit switch 28 for stopping the supply conveyor 7 and rotating the rotating body 5 when the transfer piece 21 returns to its normal position; A limit switch 29 is activated by the separating member 3 to stop the rotating body 5 when the rotating body 5 is rotated by a certain amount.

In the apparatus of the present invention constructed as described above, the rotating bodies 5, 5 are stopped, and the rotating bodies 5, 5 are moved between the rotating bodies 5, 5.
When a large number of freezing containers 1 are stacked as shown in Fig. The stack is supported by the separating member 3.3f.

However, when the rotating bodies 5, 5 are rotated synchronously by the interlocking member 8, the separating member 3 such as a roller supported thereon rotates on a circular orbit, and approaches the edge of the container 1 at the lowest stage. 2
The separating member 3.3 supporting the container is gradually separated by e as shown in FIG. The corresponding heel members 3, 3 gradually approach each other by 1, and when they coincide with the horizontal center line X of the rotary body 5.5, they approach the closest, and a width larger than the gap a is inserted between the edges 2, 2. Therefore, even if the containers 1 are tightly fitted together between multiple stacks of containers 1, the operation 1 will be easily unfitted, and in this case, the preceding separating members 3, 3 will not be able to hold the edges 2 of the containers 1. Since there is no gap t, the containers 1 at the bottom fall onto the supply conveyor 7. At this time, the container 1 in the next stage is supported by the separating members 3, 3t which are in the approaching state, and as the rotation progresses further, the separating member 3, which supports the edge 2 of the container 1 at the lowest stage, 3
As the gap opens, the following separation members 3, 3 narrow the gap and cut into the gap between the edges 2, 2 of the bottom and next containers 1, 1, supporting the next container 1. Then, the operation of separating the containers 1 at the bottom and dropping them onto the supply conveyor 7 is repeated, so that the operation of separating a large number of stacked containers 1 one by one from the bottom and sending them out can be performed automatically and reliably. As shown in Figure 2 of the drawings, this operation also applies to the case of the container 1 provided with a stopper 2° for regulating the fitting of the containers 1 to 1, as shown in Figure q of the drawings. When the members 3, 3 are attached to the chains 711, 11 and rotated, the process is performed in exactly the same manner as in the case of FIG. 1.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. S and 7 of the drawings, this device is used to transport the packaging material 13, which is filled with commercial raw materials such as surimi and oyster meat into the packaging tube 14, into the freezing container 1 and sent to the freezing process. When used in a device as shown in FIG. , 19, the packaging material 13 that has been wrapped during the progress of the conveyor I8 slides on the roller conveyor 19 and reaches the position of the detector 23, which detects this. Then, the stopper 24 that was preventing the container l from being transferred by the roller conveyor 22t is removed.

Therefore, the container 1 is transferred to the packaging material 1 by the roller conveyor 22.
At this time, the packaging material 13 on the roller conveyor 19 slides into the container 1, is stored in the container 1, and is sent to the freezing process by the conveyor 25. The operation of separating the tightly fitted containers 1 from the one below and supplying them one by one can be carried out automatically and reliably.

As mentioned above, in the apparatus according to the present invention, when the edge of the lowest stage of a large number of stacked freezing containers is supported by a separating member, and the separating member is rotated by the rotating body t, the lowest stage is rotated. The separating member supporting the edge of the container gradually moves away from the edge by t, but the separating member corresponding to the gap between the edge of the lowest container and the next container causes a larger spread than the gap to cut into the gap, This operation is performed reliably at regular intervals to separate the bottom container while supporting the containers in the next and higher stages, and to send the V from between the preceding separating members away from the edge to the supply conveyor, etc. below. If this device is used, for example, to supply containers to a device that fills 70 kilograms of commercial raw materials into packaging tubes and sends them to the freezing process, it will be possible to timely send out the packaging materials. In addition, this device automatically sends seven containers at a time to the delivery position, making the work completely unmanned. The device is simple because seven pieces perform the functions of separating the bottom container and supporting the next and higher containers.

In addition, it is manufactured at a low cost and is economical, and its operation is reliable and there is no risk of failure. Furthermore, the above-mentioned separation member is given a larger spread than the gap between the edges of one stacked container, etc., and acts as a wedge by being pushed into the gap, so that it can be used for heavy metal freezing, containers, etc. stacked together in large numbers. (even if they are mated, the mating can be easily and quickly separated,
It has the unique effect of being able to fully respond to high-speed container supply.

Note that the apparatus of the present invention is not only used for freezing containers as described above (as long as it has a rim like the freezing container 1 in Fig. 3, it can be used for stacked focal surfaces or transportation It is also widely used for containers and other purposes.
