Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel shiitake mushroom reversal device that is incorporated into a shiitake mushroom sorting machine.

Conventionally, the sorting (sorting) of shiitake mushrooms was generally carried out by a large number of hands, but the present inventor developed a new sieve to enable automatic sorting (Japanese Patent Application No. 131950/1983).

This sieve, including the entire automatic sorting machine, will be explained using FIG. 1 (side view) and FIG. 2 (plan view) of the present invention. 1 is a lift-type shiitake mushroom supply table, 2 is a feeding belt conveyor, 3a
, 3b, and 3c are three-stage sieves for gunpowder, medium leaves, and small leaves.

These sieves have a sieve hole 4 of a predetermined size formed on the entire surface of the plate, and this hole extends toward the lower side of the slant of the sieve, and the extension part a has a receiving plate 5 below. is connected at the tip of the extension part a, and the hole 4 side is sloped downward, so that the shiitake mushrooms that partially entered the hole but did not fall out are pushed up using the vibration of the sieve, and moved on the sieve. .

Reference numeral 6 denotes a frame for supporting the sieve, and this frame is supported by a support 8 via a spring 7, and is vibrated by a vibrator 9.

10 is a receiving chute, and 11 is a parts feeder.

12 is a sieve lower tray (waste tray) placed below the sieve 3c;
The shiitake mushroom waste received in this sieve tray is fed into a container 13 through a chute 10a.

The shiitake mushrooms that have been sieved into gunpowder, middle leaves, and small leaves by the sieve are sent to a sorting device 14 that separates them into good ones with large bulk and thin ones, but when using this sorting device, all the shiitake mushrooms are turned over (turned inside out). Thin objects that pass through gaps with a certain height are allowed to fall after passing through, while thick objects that do not pass are sent to another path.

This invention is disposed upstream of the shiitake mushroom bulk thickness sorting device 14.

To provide a device capable of reliably inverting (turning over) shiitake mushrooms with a simple structure. In the figure, A-1, A-
2, A-3 is the shiitake mushroom inversion device of the present invention, and sieves 3a, 3
Inclined passages 1 are located following the parts feeders 11 of parts b and 3c, respectively, and as shown in FIGS.
7, and a plurality of stepped portions 18 having a height equal to or slightly larger than the radius of the shiitake mushroom cap are formed in this passage toward the lower side of the slope.

Since this invention has the above-described structure, as shown in FIG. 5, the shiitake mushrooms 19 sent to the inclined passage 17 are sequentially moved to the lower side of the inclination due to vibration, and the caps b are placed first as shown in FIG. , the stem c later reaches the stepped part 18 and falls onto the stepped part as shown in the figure's mouth, but the stem c is caught in the state shown in figure c, and as shown in figure 2, when it falls. It will be reversed (turned inside out), and if it is not reversed at the first step, it will be reliably reversed at the second and third step. Incidentally, shiitake mushrooms that are originally turned upside down when supplied to the inclined passage 17 will remain turned inside out even if they fall onto the stepped portion 18, as shown in FIG. Also, the upper floor at the step part is designated by code 2.
As shown by 0, if a part of the plate protrudes toward the step side, the reversal operation becomes more reliable. As described above, the present invention has an extremely simple structure in which a plurality of steps with a height equal to or slightly larger than the radius of the shiitake mushroom cap are formed in the vibrating inclined passage toward the lower side of the slope. However, it has the effect of reliably turning the shiitake mushrooms over, and it greatly contributes to improving the efficiency of the shiitake mushroom sorting device, which has a large bulk in the next process.

The sieving efficiency can be improved by disposing this reversing device also before the sieving device.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 1 is a side view of the entire shiitake mushroom sorting machine, Fig. 2 is a partially cutaway plan view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a diagram showing only the shiitake mushroom reversing device of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a side view of the same, and FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are enlarged partially cutaway vertical sectional side views showing the shiitake mushroom in an inverted state in which the essential parts of the same are further enlarged.

Claims (1)
