Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the sure removal of the covering paper bag from a fruit, by placing a receiving member to be contacted with the paper bag clamped with a pair of holding arms of a clamp near the position to release the paper bag. CONSTITUTION:The neck part of the paper bag 3 covering the fruit 2 is cut off in the course of transfer of the fruit placed on the transfer plate 12, and the bag is preliminarily released by blowing compressed air from below by the blower (d). The paper bag bulged upward is clamped with the clamp (e) having a pair of holding arms. The clamp (e) is separated gradually from the transfer plate in the course of traveling along an orbit to pull up the paper bag from the fruit 2. The paper bag is clamped with the clamp (e), and transferred along the guide rail 85 to the releasing position. At the releasing position, the holding arm pair 82 are passed both sides of the receiving member (g) fixed to the machine frame 1, and the bag 3 clamped with the arms 82 is made to collide with the receiving member (g) and released without fail. Accordingly, the snatching of the paper bag can be carried out smoothly and surely.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention places a bag that covers the outer periphery of a fruit on the top side of a conveyor that conveys the fruit with the bag, while being spaced 0 degrees above the top side G of the conveyor. This invention relates to an improvement in a bag removing device for fruits, which is gripped and removed from fruits by a clamp consisting of a pair of self-filmed clamping members that can be opened and closed so as to rotate along the conveyance direction of a conveyor.

In the above-mentioned fruit unbagging device, a clamp disposed on the upper side of the conveying path of the conveyor grabs the paper bag on the outer surface of the fruit and removes the fruit with a bag. When removing the paper bag from the fruit by rotating it away from the clamp, if the paper bag removed from the fruit in the previous step is tangled, the clamp grasps the paper bag covering the fruit. There is a malfunction in the operation of the condyle, making it impossible to remove the paper bag from the fruit.

An objective of the present invention is to propose a new means for solving this problem.

In order to achieve this goal, the fruit unbagging device according to the present invention has a clamp on the top side of the container that conveys the bagged fruit, which grips the paper bag that covers the fruit using a pair of clamping bodies that open and close. , is disposed on a rotary support that rotates 7F) in the conveying direction of the conveyor while being separated from -1 to one side at -1 of the conveyor, and a pair of clamps thereof A position G within the gap between the pair of opened clamping bodies in the vicinity of the position where the clamping bodies operate to open.
This is characterized in that the receiver members that meet the paper bag held by the pair of clamping members are fixedly disposed on the machine frame G.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in which an embodiment of the present invention is combined with a fruit stem cutting device for cutting the fruit stem into a fruit stem cutting device.

The pipe (60) communicates with a pressure air source or compressor (61) through a pipe (60) with a nozzle that blows pressure air so as to separate the paper bag (3) from the outer surface of the fruit (2) before removing it from the fruit (2). The pipe (6o) is provided with a valve mechanism (62) that opens when the fruit receiving seat (13) of the conveying plate (I2) that supports the fruit (2) is positioned above the nozzle d.

e is a paper bag (3
) R is a clamp that holds the conveyor a, and is supported by a rotating support f provided on the upper surface side of the conveyor a so that it rotates in the conveyance direction of the conveyor a while moving upward from the upper surface of the conveyor a. . The rotating support f has three rotating shafts (70), (71), (72) on the top side of the conveyor a. , 3rd
As shown in the figure (two rotating shafts (70) and (71)
are arranged vertically on the front side of the conveyor a in the conveying direction, and one rotational axis σ is located at a distance from the lower rotational axis (71) of the two rotational axes (70/(7+)) at the front in the conveyance direction. The rotating shafts (70), (71), and ff2) are horizontally supported on the machine frame (1), with the rotating shafts (70), (71), and ff2)
As shown in Fig. 3, sprockets 63)... are mounted on the shafts of the sprockets (73)..., and as shown in Fig. 3, the bottom side facing the top surface of the conveyor a is The three rotating shafts (7) are stretched in a triangular shape that gradually moves away upward in the conveying direction of the conveyor a, and the base side thereof rotates in the conveying direction.
[・σD・(7) It is constructed by driving one of the rotating shafts.The clamp e supported by the rotating support f is attached to the aforementioned chino (74). ,

82) are closed together and grip the paper bag (3), and while the paper bag (3) is held in the gripped state due to the regulations of the kite rails (85) and (85), the conveyor a is moved by the rotation of the chino (74). While rotating along the conveyance direction, it moves upward away from the fruit (2), picks up the paper bag (3) from the fruit (2), carries it out, and moves the roller (84)
- (84) comes off from the end portions (85a) and (85a) of the chi and trail (85) and the clamping arm (
80) and (80) act to release the paper bag (3) at the opening position.

g indicates that the clamp e has a pair of clamping bodies (clamping arms (80), (80) and clamping parts (82), (821)).
It is fixed to the machine frame (1) so that when Y is opened and the clamped paper bag (3) is released, the paper bag (3) is surely knocked off from the clamp e. The receiver is a member, and as shown in FIG. 3, in a side view, the clamp e is supported by the chino (74) of the rotating support f and rotates in a circular path, and the roller +84 of the clamp e )su84) is a kite L/-JL (85)
At the terminal end (85a) of the guide rail (85), the clamp e is arranged so as to wrap around and face the part where the pair of clamping members of the clamp e is opened. The member g is the fifth member when viewed from the front.
As shown in the figure, the pair of clamping arms (clamping arms (8)
0), (80) and the clamping parts (82), (82)), and the pair of clamps e, which are rotated by the chino (74) of the rotary support f, The receiver passes through both the left and right sides of member g.The member g also has a pair of clamping portions of clamps e that are open left and right in front view, as shown in FIG. (82)・(
82), and as shown in FIG. 〇It is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the outer position of the rotation locus, and the downwardly inclined end is the paper bag (3)? The paper bag (3) covering the fruit (2) is connected to the guide gutter guiding to the side of the conveyor a and is fixedly supported on the machine frame (1) through the guide gutter hv. Paper bag (3) that is separated from the fruit (2) and blown up by the pressure of the nozzle d that blows it up? This is a guide gutter that guides the conveyor a to the side, and is located in front of the guide gutter in the transport direction of the conveyor a and is formed to be parallel to the guide gutter.

In addition, while the fruit (2) placed on the conveyance plate (12) and conveyed is being subjected to the action of the paper bag cutting device,
A pressing conveyor is disposed on the upper surface of the conveyor a so as to press the fruit (2) against the upper surface of the conveyor plate (12). The fruit (2) is a suppressing drum provided on the upper surface of the conveyor a so as to press against the upper surface of the conveying plate (12).

Next, to explain the function and effect, the fruit removing bag according to the present invention configured as described above acts on the fruit being conveyed by the conveyor, grasps the paper bag covering the outer surface of the fruit, and pulls it out from the outer surface of the fruit. When the raised clamp opens the clamping body facing the pair of clamps, releases the paper bag it has grabbed, and acts on the next fruit again, the opened pair of clamping bodies are fixed to the machine frame. The receivers provided as follows pass on both sides of the member, and at that time, the paper bag that was being held is left there, so that it covers the outer periphery of the next fruit. Before acting to grab the paper bag, the grabbed paper bag is surely released from the fruit at the front, and the grabbing action of the paper bag is made smooth and reliable.
