Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION When meat, vegetables, and other food materials are skewered in series for cooking, the present invention is capable of inserting a large number of skewered persimmons into predetermined positions of a skewered persimmon extrusion device that extrudes and inserts skewered persimmons into these food materials. This invention relates to an automatic persimmon feeding device for feeding persimmons in parallel.

Traditionally, the work of skewering food materials has relied exclusively on manual labor, and the reality is that it is difficult to process large quantities at once.

In particular, it requires considerable skill to accurately and quickly insert persimmon skewers into the appropriate positions of individual food ingredients, and productivity is extremely low.

Therefore, recently there have been attempts to automate this series of skewering operations and perform them without relying on humans.

For example, as seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-20542, an appropriate number of rows of skewered persimmon extrusion mechanisms are installed, and the skewered persimmons are appropriately dropped and fed from above the front part of the mechanism, and the skewered persimmons are inserted into food materials placed separately. There is something.

However, in these cases, a mechanism for feeding skewered persimmons must be attached to each of the skewered persimmon extrusion mechanisms that push out one skewered persimmon, so in order to skewer a large number of skewered persimmons at once, the skewered persimmons need to be fed accordingly. This method requires a mechanism, increases the size of the entire device, and has the disadvantage that the equipment cost is also enormous.

The present invention was created in view of the above points, and its purpose is to feed a large number of skewered persimmons in parallel at once using a single skewered persimmon feeding mechanism with a simple structure, and to To provide an automatic persimmon feeding device capable of rapidly performing a series of skewering operations in large quantities in conjunction with the operation of a skewered persimmon extrusion device.

In other words, the gist is that a plurality of rollers with friction bodies formed on their circumferential surfaces for rolling in persimmons are arranged in rows with their axes parallel to each other, and equipped with a roller drive device that simultaneously rotates all the rollers in the same direction. A loading plate is formed slightly below the lower end of the circumferential surface of the roller, and has a plurality of parallel rows of loading slits that allow the loading and passing of - skewered persimmons. A sliding device is provided that overlaps passing plates each having a plurality of rows of passing slits that enable passage, and slides and reciprocates one of the loading plate and the passing plate so that the loading slit and the passing slit match. On one side of the roller circumference,
A large number of skewered persimmons are arranged parallel to the axis of the roller so as to touch the circumferential surface of the roller, and a shield is placed on the other circumferential surface in contact with the circumferential surface to prevent the skewered persimmons from coming off as the roller rotates. forming a body, rotating the roller by the roller 1 driving device, and loading skewered persimmons into the rows of loading slits;
The present invention consists in that a large number of skewers of persimmons are dropped and fed by sliding a loading plate or a passing plate using a sliding device and aligning the loading slit with the passing slit.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, a strip-shaped loading plate 1 has a short side longer than a kushigaki S, and two side plates 2 and 3 with cross-sections facing each other are erected on the long sides. be.

This loading plate 1 is provided with a large number of loading slits 4 arranged at equal intervals and parallel to the short side of the loading plate 1, allowing the loading and passing of the hanging rod S-rate.

Furthermore, grooves 5 are provided perpendicularly to the loading slit 4 at approximately both ends and at the center in the length direction thereof, allowing a contact portion 20 of a passage plate 14 (described later) to slide therein.

Above the loading slit 4, the side plates 2 that stand and face each other,
There is a roller 6 pivotally supported between the rollers 3 and 3.

A friction body 8 made of a material such as sponge or rubber is appropriately disposed on the roller shaft 7 of the roller 6, and the distance between the lower end of the circumferential surface of this friction body 8 and the loading slit 4 is larger than the diameter of the hanging rod S-ratio. Keep it short.

There is a strip-shaped shield 9 which is bent and extended above the loading plate 1 and is in contact with one side circumferential surface of the roller shafts 70 arranged in a row.

The shielding body 9 is connected to the loading plate 1 in the vicinity of the roller shaft 7. The approximately triangular space formed by the shielding body 9, the loading plate 1, and the friction body 8 is slightly rate kushigaki S
This makes it possible to charge.

The upper end of the shielding body 9 is supported by a clamping body 10 suspended between the side plates 2 and 3.

The clamping body 10 and the shielding body 9 are provided corresponding to each roller 6, and each roller 6 may be partitioned by this.
It is used to store a large number of skewered persimmons.

A gear 11 is attached to the roller shaft 7 projecting to the outside of the side plate 2, and together with a rack 12, a motor 13, etc., forms a roller drive device M, which rotates the roller 6 in the forward and reverse directions by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 13. be.

There is a passage plate 14 superimposed on the loading plate 1 and having approximately the same size as the loading plate 1.

The passage plate 14 has a loading slit 4 bored in the loading plate 1.
It has a plurality of passing slits 15 that fit the loading plate 1, and is supported together with the loading plate 1 by groove-shaped supports 16 arranged on both edges in the long side direction of the loading plate 1, so that it can freely slide and reciprocate in the long side direction. It becomes.

The end of the passage plate 14 is connected to the connecting piece 17 and the crankshaft 1.
8, is connected to a sliding device N consisting of a motor 19 and the like.

On the longitudinal side edge of the passage slit 15 of the passage plate 14,
A claw-shaped contact portion 2 for scraping off the skewered persimmon S in the loading slit 4 is provided at a position that fits the groove portion 5 provided in the loading plate 1.
There is 0.

The corresponding contact portion 20 has a substantially inverted triangular shape from the front, and the surface forming the oblique side of the contact portion 20 contacts the loading slit 4 as the passage plate 14 slides.
It is formed so as to come into contact with the circumferential surface of the inner skewer S from above.

Next, its operation will be explained.

First, a large number of skewered persimmons S are stored between the rollers 6, that is, in the space partitioned by the clamping body 10 and the shielding body 9, with their axes parallel to the axis of the rollers 6.

At this time, make sure that the tips of the skewered persimmons S all face in the same direction.

Now, it is assumed that the passage plate 14 is slightly shifted from the loading plate 1, and the loading slits 4 and the passage slits 15 do not match.

In this state, if the roller drive device M is driven and each roller 6 is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG.
One of them is loaded into the loading slit 4.

At this time, the friction body 8 feeds the young persimmon S into the approximately triangular space formed by the shielding body 9 on the left side of the roller 6.

Next, when the roller drive device M is driven and each roller 6 is rotated counterclockwise, the skewered persimmon S fed to the left side of the roller 6 is wound up again by the friction body 8, as described above.
It passes over the loading slit 4 loaded with the skewered persimmons S and is discharged to the right side of the roller 6 (see Figure 3).

Therefore, the approximately triangular space formed by the shielding body 9, the loading plate 1, and the friction body 8 is made small, and all of the skewered persimmons S stored therein come into contact with the friction body 8. It is essential that it is possible.

This reverse rotation of the roller 6 is necessary because, due to the bending of the skewered persimmons S or differences in their thickness, loading into the loading slit 4 may not be ensured by only forward rotation of the roller 6.
The persimmon S is passed through the loading slit 4 to ensure loading.

After the persimmons S are loaded one by one into the rows of loading slits 4 in this manner, the sliding device N is activated to slide the passage plate 14.

As a result, the loading slit 4 containing the skewered persimmons S and the passage slits 15 arranged in a row on the passage plate 14 match, and the skewered persimmon S
fall in parallel (see Figure 3, c).

At this time, as the contact portion 20 attached to the passage slit of the passage plate 140 slides, its printing surface contacts the circumferential surface of the skewered persimmon S from above, so that the skewered persimmon S is reliably scraped off. becomes.

There is a skewered persimmon extrusion device P below the automatic skewered persimmon feeding device, and the extrusion mechanism, which reciprocates by an appropriate means, simultaneously extrudes a large number of skewered persimmons that are dropped and fed in parallel, and is arranged in a series. It is inserted into food materials such as meat and vegetables.

In the embodiment, the passage plate 14 is slidable, but it goes without saying that the loading plate 1 may be slidable. However, the rack 12 may be reciprocated by a crankshaft, or the passage plate 14 may be made slidable by a combination of a motor, a rack, a pinion gear, etc.

In this way, the loading of the skewered persimmons S by normal rotation of the roller 6,
Discharging surplus persimmon S by reversing the roller 6, passing plate 14
By repeating the sliding back and forth sequentially, a large number of skewered persimmons S are supplied periodically, and in conjunction with the operation of the skewered persimmon extrusion device P, a series of skewering operations progresses.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when skewering food materials,
By mechanizing the feeding of skewered persimmons, which was previously done manually, labor is saved, and compared to the conventionally provided skewered persimmon feeding mechanisms, a large number of skewered persimmons can be fed accurately at once with a single mechanism. Therefore, there is no need to provide a feeding mechanism for each mechanism that extrudes a single skewered persimmon S, which contributes to the simplification of the equipment required for a series of skewering operations, and also reduces the power source, transmission mechanism, etc. for feeding the skewered persimmon S. Only a single unit is required, making it extremely economical.

In addition, due to the sliding of the passing plate 14, a large number of skewered persimmons S fall simultaneously without any time delay, and the subsequent skewered persimmon extrusion device P
By one operation of the skewered persimmon extrusion device P,
It has the advantage of being able to reliably process large amounts of food materials.

In addition, since the shielding body 9 is provided to prevent hanging rods S from being mixed in the direction of adjacent rollers 6 even when the rollers 6 rotate, if the same number of skewered persimmons S are supplied to each roller 6 in advance, When the skewered persimmons S are supplied one after another, the supply ends at the same time, so creating a work plan is extremely convenient in terms of work management.

Furthermore, as described in the example, a certain space was formed by the shielding body 9, the loading plate 1, and the friction body 8, and a certain percentage of skewered persimmons S was fed into this space by normal rotation of the roller 6. Above, if the roller 6 is reversed and these surplus skewered persimmons S are moved onto the loading slit 4 again, if the skewered persimmons S are not loaded during normal rotation of the roller 6 due to bending or difference in thickness, etc. The reel will also be reliably loaded by rewinding it again.

In addition, by attaching a contact part 20 to the passage plate 14 that moves orthogonally to the loading slit 4, as the passage plate 14 slides, the contact part 20 moves against the hanging rod S in the loading slit 4.
Since the persimmons S are brought into contact with the upper circumferential surface and scraped off, the supply of the skewered persimmons S becomes even more reliable.

As described above, the present invention has a simple structure, can drop-feed a large number of skewered persimmons in parallel at once, and, in conjunction with a skewered persimmon extrusion device, can quickly skewer a large amount of food materials. In addition, it has various excellent effects, such as eliminating mistakes in feeding skewered persimmons and contributing to improving the efficiency of a series of skewering operations.
