Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a constant number accumulating device for laver bundles, which bends a fixed number of sheets of dried seaweed into a V-shape on the side to form seaweed bundles, and accumulates these seaweed bundles in a fixed number. It is.

Conventionally, the above-mentioned work has been carried out manually, as it has been difficult to mechanize the sheet nori because it is very light and moves easily even with the slightest vibration or wind.

This invention was devised in view of the current situation, and its purpose is to fold a fixed number of sheets of nori in half and stack them into a fixed number, while at the same time facilitating the next bundling process. The object of the present invention is to provide a constant accumulating device for nori bundles that can be arranged in a manner that allows the seaweed bundles to be neatly arranged.

Specific examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1, as is particularly clear in FIG. 3, a large number of slats each having a width narrower than the width of the bundle a' of seaweed are arranged at regular intervals, and the distance between the slats is indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, a pair of sprockets 11.11. It consists of a pair of endless chains 12, 12 wound around this, and the wing plate attached to this,
As illustrated in FIG. 2, a cam arm 15 is controlled by a cam (not shown) on a camshaft 14 rotated by a motor 13, and a ratchet mechanism 1 coaxial with a sprocket 11.
6, the train is operated intermittently as described above.

3 is a box with a bottom 31 formed with an elongated opening 32 with a substantially funnel-shaped cross section, and the central part of the sheet nori a is supplied into the box 3 in a fixed number by another means of transport that is not a national religion. , above the conveyor 1 in such a state that the opening 32 and the middle of two adjacent blade plates b', b' in the upper part of the conveyor 1 coincide with each other in substantially the same plane, preferably in the same vertical plane. It is installed in

The conveyor 1 and the seaweed receiver are an example part of the box 3, including the center of the sheet nori a placed in the box 3, the opening 32, and two adjacent pieces at the top of the conveyor 1. A guide rail 41 is provided along the same plane formed by the blade plates b' and the middle of b'.
The guide rail 41 receives the seaweed from above through the bottom opening 32 of the box 3, and then passes through the two blade plates b',
A seaweed push-down member 4 is installed in the seaweed receiver between b' and moves up and down alternately with the conveyor 1 so as to bend and push the sheet seaweed a in the box 3 into a V-shape.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the seaweed pushing down member 4 is connected to another cam arm 42 (not shown) which is provided on a cam shaft 14 rotated by a motor 13 and which is controlled by another cam (not shown), and an L-shaped arm linked to this. The conveyor 1 is moved up and down intermittently and alternately along the guide rail 41 by means of a lever 43. By connecting the L-shaped lever 43 with the push-down member 4 and the spring 44, the conveyor 1 can be moved up and down intermittently. It is desirable to configure the push-down member 4 to prevent damage to it when a person's hand or other equipment interferes with the lowering of the push-down member 4.

At the descending portion of the conveyor 1, a stand 5 is provided to receive the substantially horizontal seaweed bundle a' that is close to the tip of the vane plate. A detection device 6 is installed to detect the arrival of '.

In this embodiment, the detection device 6 is constituted by a limit switch provided so that the receiver for the seaweed bundle a' is at the same level as the table 5 and in contact with the end of the descending seaweed bundle a.

Reference numeral 7 indicates a laver bundle extrusion device in which a receiver for the seaweed bundle a' is activated by the detection device 6 and pushes out a fixed number of seaweed bundles a' descending on the conveyor 1 onto the stage 5 from the opposite side of the table 5. in,
A motor 73 that is activated by the detection device 6 and rotates once while the motor 13 is stopped, and an arm 7 that swings thereby.
4. A drive member 71 which operates so that the receiver is projected onto the table 5 by the arm 74. A drive member 71 of a certain length is attached at the tip of the member 71 so as to be pressed against the descending seaweed bundle a'. It is constituted by a rod-shaped or plate-shaped pressing member 72.

As shown in FIG. 3 in this embodiment, the driving member 71 and the pressing member 72 are arranged as a pair so that the pressing member 72 is pressed against both ends of the seaweed bundle a'. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 6, when the blades sandwiching the seaweed bundle a' are separated as a pair on both sides, the blades press against the seaweed bundle a' only in the middle part. It can also be implemented by configuring one pressing member 72 that is applied and one driving member 71 that drives this member.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an abutment plate provided on the table 5 so as to face the pressing member 72 of the seaweed bundle extrusion device 7, and the tray holds the seaweed bundle a pushed out onto the table 5 by the nori bundle extrusion device 7. ′ is used to organize the items.

The device in this embodiment operates as follows.

First, when the limit switch 33 installed on the side of the box 3 detects that a certain number of sheets of seaweed a are supplied into the box 3, the solenoid 34 opens and the spring 35 The flap plate 36 rotates as shown by the arrow in Fig. 1 due to the attraction of the seaweed sheet A, and when another limit switch 37 detects the operation of the flap plate 36, the motor 13 shown in Fig. 2 is activated. When activated, the nori pushing down member 4 descends and rises to between the vanes b' and b' of the conveyor 1 stopped below, bending a certain number of nori plates a in the box 3 into a V-shape while pushing the blades down. Push it between plates b' and b' to form a seaweed bundle a',
Subsequently, the conveyor 1 is rotated in the running direction by the distance between the vanes.

This operation is repeated, and when the detection device 6 detects that the leading seaweed bundle a' has reached the same level as the tray 5, the seaweed bundle extrusion device 7 is activated, and each blade plate of the conveyor 1 is A fixed number (10 pieces in this embodiment) of the nori bundle a' from the head of the nori bundle a' which is being held and descending is pushed out onto the tray 5, and the nori bundle a' is pushed out onto the pushing member 7 of the extrusion device 7.
2, they are pressed against the abutting plate 8 and arranged, and then transferred to the next process.

The pressing member 72 of the seaweed bundle extrusion device 7 is pivoted at its substantially central portion to the tip of the driving member 71 as shown in the figure, so that it can swing within at least a certain range in the direction of extrusion of the driving member 71. If the laver bundles a' are pressed by the pressing member 72 in an overlapping state as shown in FIG. No more turbulence during extrusion.

In this respect, for example, as shown in FIG.
It is more reliable if the upper part of 2 is configured to be tensioned rearward by a weak spring.

Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG.
A predetermined spring 81 is attached between the guide tube 83 and the rear end of the pin 84 to apply tension to the abutment plate 8 in the direction of the nori bundle extrusion device 7. is desirable.

In the embodiment described above, a limit switch was used in the detection device 6, and the receiver was installed at the same level as the table 5 so as to be in contact with the seaweed bundle a'. A counter (not shown) may be provided to count the numbers, and the nori bundle extrusion device 7 may be operated every time the counter counts a certain number.

The constant accumulation device for seaweed bundles according to the present invention bends a certain number of sheets of seaweed into a bundle in a V-shape between vanes connected to a conveyor. The shape of the sheet nori does not easily change its posture, and in the descending part of the conveyor, the nori bundles that are descending while being sandwiched between the blades are pressed against a certain number by a pressing member and placed on a table other than the conveyor. Since the material is pushed upward and hits the abutting plate at the same time, it is possible to accumulate constants and at the same time obtain products that are tidy enough to be mechanically processed in the next step, for example, in the binding process.
