Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a roll-over type cup used in a fruit sorting device or the like.

A large number of cups are attached to an endless belt that rotates in an endless manner, and fruits are placed one by one on the cups.One side of the bottom of the cup is fixed to the shaft, and the other side of the cup is fixed to the bottom of the cup. When the projecting body is provided in the lower position, the cup is moved downward by the sensing device, and the cup is overturned, allowing a certain weight of fruit to be transferred and sorting can be performed.

Although the above-mentioned device is known and has already been put into practice, one of its drawbacks is that the cup sometimes rolls incompletely and the fruit does not roll out.

In other words, even if the cup moves downward and is pushed up by the thrusting body, the cup may not overturn sufficiently, and in that case,
The fruit does not move out.

Figure 1 is a diagram of a known example, where A is a cup, B is a fixed part, and C
is the shaft, D is the projecting body, and E is the abutting surface. When the cup A moves downward together with the fixed part B, the projecting body D moves upward due to relative movement and pushes up the abutting surface E. , the cup A is overturned, but the defect in this case is that the cup A is not tilted sufficiently.

A method to eliminate this defect is to improve the shape of the contact surface E shown in FIG. 1.

Therefore, in the present invention, one side of the lower surface of the cup, whose upper surface is shaped into a shape on which fruits, etc. can be placed, is pivoted to a fixed part, and the lower part of the lower surface of the cup that is detached from the said pivot part is fixed to the fixing part. In a cup in which a projecting body is provided at a desired position of the part, and the cup is vertically moved down together with the fixed part and rolled over by the projecting body, the abutting surface on the lower surface side of the cup that the projecting body abuts is The shape is similar to that of a roll-over type cup formed by an inclined surface that descends as the distance from the shaft stop portion increases.

To explain with a diagram, in Fig. 2, 1 is a cup whose upper surface is shaped to be suitable for placing fruits;
A downward projection 3 is projected from one side of the lower surface 2 of the cup 1, and the projection 3 is fixed to a fixed frame 4 with a shaft 5.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a projecting body, which is provided at a position below a portion off the axis 5.

The shape of the abutment surface 7 on the lower surface 2 side of the cup 1, which the protruding body 6 abuts upon as it moves upward by relative motion, is shaped into an inclined surface 8 that descends as it gets farther from the shaft 5. .

FIG. 3 shows a specific embodiment in which the cup 1 is mounted, in which one end of each parallel link 10.10 is fixed by a shaft 11.11 to a mounting frame 9 which is fixed to an endless belt (not shown). A fixed frame 4 is pivotally fixed to the other end 12 of the parallel link 10.10.

Therefore, when the other end 12 moves up and down, the cup 1 attached to it also moves up and down.

The protruding body 6 is integrally fixed to the mounting frame 9, and when the cup 1 moves downward, the protruding body 6 relatively moves upward, causing the cup 1 to roll over.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, when the cup 1 moves downward together with the fixed frame 4, the abutting surface 7 of the lower surface 2 of the cup 1 is moved against the projecting body 6.
It collided with the machine, causing Cup 1 to overturn.

In this case, the shape of the abutting surface 7 with which the protruding body 6 collides is different from that of the known example, and is formed into an inclined surface 8 that descends as it moves away from the axis 5 with the axis 5 as a reference. No. 1 has a much greater inclination than the known example, and allows fruits etc. to be transferred smoothly.

The abutting surface E of the conventionally known one was shaped horizontally as shown in FIG.

Therefore, even if the projecting body D pushes up the abutment surface E, the abutment surface E tends to escape as it is pushed up, and the abutment surface E cannot be pushed up sufficiently.

However, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the inclined surface 8 is made to descend as it moves away from the axis 5, so even if the projecting body 6 pushes up, the abutment surface 7 does not escape. This has the effect that the fruit whose cup 1 has been sufficiently turned sideways can be smoothly transferred.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] One side of the bottom side of the cup, whose top surface is shaped to hold fruits, etc., is fixed to a fixing part, and the cup is placed at a desired position on the lower part of the bottom side of the cup, which is removed from the fixing part. In a cup that is provided with a protruding body, and the cup is vertically moved down together with the fixed part and rolled over by the protruding body, the shape of the abutment surface on the lower surface side of the cup that the protruding body abuts is adjusted to the shaft stop part. A rolling cup shaped like a slope that descends as it gets farther away.
