Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a feeding device suitably used when feeding fruits to a shape sorter, a surface treatment machine, etc.

For example, in the case of mandarin oranges, especially floating-skinned mandarin oranges, in which the skin is floating, a bridging phenomenon occurs at the delivery section from the lobster hopper, resulting in uneven transfer.

The present invention aims to provide a feeding device that eliminates such drawbacks, and an example of implementing the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a hopper main body, the rear part of which is supported by legs 2a and 2b, and the front part connected to a conveyor main body 4 via a delivery section 3.

There are multiple cylinders in the delivery section of hopper 1 (four in the illustrated example).
delivery rollers 5a, 5b, 5c.

5d... are provided, and each delivery roller 5a
, 5b, 5c, 5d... are both side walls I of the hopper 1
a, 1b (1b is the opposite side of the page) lower end frame 6.6
'(6' is the opposite side of the page) bearing 7a,
7b, 7c, and 7d, and are arranged in parallel so as to be slightly inclined forward.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a grid frame provided below the rollers 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d so as to surround their peripheral edges, and the rear edge H is a bracket provided on the bottom wall of the hopper via a hinge 9. It is mounted so that it can swing freely.

On the other hand, there is a convex plate P projecting upward on the front edge of the cross frame 8, and the convex plate P is connected to the tip roller and the bridging plate 10.
It is provided so that it protrudes between the

The upper surface of the bridging board 10 is lined with rubber, and its tip T protrudes a little and hangs down, and 11.11'(11' is the opposite side of the paper) is a spring that connects the cross-link frame 8. This is to cause the rollers of the cam plate, which will be described later, to press it into a resilient state.

The bridging board 10 is the lower end frame 6 of the side wall boards 1a and 1b.
It is swingably mounted on the frame 6' using a hinge 12.12', and its inclination angle is determined by the height of the threaded bolt 14 screwed into the L-shaped bracket 13 provided on the front surface of the frame 6.6'. This is done by adjusting h.

The device of the present invention is driven as follows.

15a, 1sb1, 1sb2, 15c1.15c2
. 15d is a silver ring attached to each roller shaft, 16°1
6', 16'' is a chain formed by connecting the silver rings, 17
is a drive wheel attached to the outer end shaft of the roller 4c, and is connected to a motor 190 and a pulley 20 via a belt 18.

On the other hand, a cam plate 21 is attached to the inner end shaft of the roller 4c.

The forming plate is for swinging the parallel plate frame 8, and in the illustrated example, rollers 22a, 2 are placed at the four corners of the square plate 21.
2b, 22c, and 22d are mounted to rotate freely, and each roller 22a, 22d is rotated by rotation of the cam plate 210.
22b, 22c, and 22d are in contact with the surface of the parallel cross frame 8.

At this time, when the cam plate 21 forms a diamond shape, the parallel cross frame 8
At this time, the convex plate P is pressed down lower than the outer diameter of the roller 5a, and at other times, it is held at an upper position slightly higher than the outer diameter of the roller due to the elastic force of the spring. made to stand out.

The conveyor main body 4 is placed between a desired fixed angle of inclination by means of a stand 23, and both side walls 24.2
By running the chinos 27, 27' equipped with a large number of partition plates 26 on the belt band 25 between 4', the oranges rolling out from above the bridging plate 10 are kept at a constant rate while being stopped by the partition plates one after another. Raise it to a higher height and shoot 2
8 to a hopper (not shown) of a suitable processing machine, such as a shape-degrading machine, so that shape-degrading is performed quantitatively.

When oranges are put into the hopper main body 1 during this series of operations, the motor 20 is rotated via the driving stamen /L/) 18 and the driving wheel 17 to rotate the silver wheels 15c1 and 15c2, which causes the hopper to rotate. Other silver wheels 15b1, 15b2, 15a, 15d also rotate via 16°16', 16'', and each delivery roller 5a, 5b, 5c,
5d rotates in the direction of arrow A.

In this way, the mandarin oranges in the hopper are sent out in the direction of the arrow port.

During this operation, the drive wheel 17 simultaneously rotates the cam plate 21, and the rotation of the cam plate 21 causes the parallel cross frame 8, which is elastically repelled upward, to swing in the vertical direction.

As a result, the convex plate P at the tip of the parallel frame is moved to the feed roller 5.
The plates P protrude intermittently and protrude in and out between a and the bridging plate 10, and the plate P that protrudes intermittently stimulates the oranges at regular intervals so that the oranges are balanced and do not roll, or form a mountain. This can solve problems such as not collapsing.

In this embodiment, the convex plate P of the cross-frame frame is shown as being protruded between the most advanced feed-out roller 5a and the bridging plate 10, but between the feed-out rollers 5a and 5b or between 5b and 5c.
It may be provided at another location such as between the spaces, or both may be provided.

Moreover, although the protruding operation of the convex plate P is performed using a cam plate in conjunction with the rotation of the delivery roller, other arbitrary means may be adopted.

The present invention is configured as described above, and prevents the oranges in the hopper main body 1 from forming a bridge or stagnation resulting in stopping of feeding, and the average Therefore, the feed amount is guaranteed.

This greatly contributes to improving the workability of various processing machines in the next process.
