Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an Enoki mushroom bagging device that can reliably and efficiently bag Enoki mushrooms or similar substances in fixed quantities.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of Enoki mushroom bagging apparatus is known, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-5524.

In this conventional structure, a semi-arc-shaped Enoki mushroom mounting plate is placed horizontally below the input opening, and the Enoki mushrooms are placed in this Enoki mushroom mounting plate with their lengths facing sideways, and in this state, the Enoki mushrooms are opened. The Enoki mushroom mounting board and Enoki mushrooms are fed horizontally into the bag.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the Enoki mushrooms are only placed on the Enoki mushroom mounting plate, and the soft Enoki mushrooms lose their shape due to the horizontal movement of the Enoki mushroom mounting plate during the operation of a series of packaging devices. As a result, there remains a problem that variations tend to occur in the packaging of Enoki mushrooms.

This invention was made for the purpose of solving such problems of the conventionally known Enoki mushroom bagging apparatus.

[Means for solving problems]

The structure of the present invention to achieve the above purpose is as follows:
To explain using FIGS. 1 to 8 corresponding to the embodiment, a bag supporting section 2 supports a flexible bag 1 in an open state with the bag opening facing upward, and a bag opening of the bag 1. A certain amount of Enoki mushrooms placed above the
An Enoki mushroom insertion board 3 which holds the Enoki mushroom a with its length direction facing up and down and inserts and stuffs the Enoki mushroom a into the bag 1 through the bag opening; and an Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate 4 for positioning the lower end of the Enoki mushroom a in a predetermined position when inserting the Enoki mushroom a, and for retracting the Enoki mushroom insertion plate 3 when inserting the Enoki mushroom and holding the bag opening open. The Enoki mushroom bagging device consists of:

The bag is opened and supported with the opening facing upward as shown in FIG. 6.

In addition, a certain amount of Enoki mushroom a is put into the Enoki mushroom insertion plate 3 with its length direction in the vertical direction, and the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate 4
Place the Enoki mushroom a on the mounting door plate 60 with the lower end portion adjusted to a predetermined position, and place the Enoki mushroom a on the holding cylinder 38.
The Enoki mushroom holding plate 39 is moved forward to open the Enoki mushroom holding tube 35 against the opening plate spring 36, and the Enoki mushroom a is held between the Enoki mushroom holding tube 33 and the Enoki mushroom holding tube 35. 3
Hold it as shown.

The cylinder rod of the guide cylinder 45 is lowered to lower the elevating plate 43 via the pressing spring 58, and the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate 4 is lowered by the lowering operation of the elevating plate.
The guide plate 62 is inserted into the bag 1, and the lifting plate 43
comes into contact with the lower limit stopper 57 and the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate 4 stops descending, and the cylinder rod of the guide cylinder 45 further descends, compressing the pressing spring 58 and lowering the connecting rod 52. As a result, the left and right slide plates 51 mutually slide outward on the slide shaft 50 via the connecting link 53, and as a result, the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate 4 moves laterally, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Ensure that the bag opening is opened.

Then, the slide plate 51 comes into contact with the side opening stopper 56, and the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate 4 stops moving.

In this state, the Enoki mushroom insertion plate 3 is lowered by the Enoki mushroom insertion cylinder 27, the Enoki mushroom a is inserted deep into the bag 1, and at the lower limit, the Enoki mushroom insertion arm 67 is swung closed by the Enoki mushroom insertion cylinder 24, and the Enoki mushroom insertion plate 3 is lowered. The Enoki mushroom a inserted into the bag 1 from both outside sides of the Enoki mushroom a is clamped as shown in FIG. remains in bag 1.

Then, at the upper limit of the Enoki mushroom insertion plate 3, the Enoki mushroom insertion plate 3 moves laterally to close, and then rises, and the whole returns to the original position.

By repeating this operation, Enoki mushrooms can be sequentially packed into bags.

In addition, this series of operations is performed using electricity and
This will be done automatically using a pneumatic sequence control device or the like.

Therefore, the opening of the bag 1 is supported by the bag supporting part 2 with the opening facing upward, and the Enoki mushroom a is placed in the bag 1 with its length direction facing up and down, and the Enoki mushroom insertion plate 3 is used to properly insert the Enoki mushroom a. It is possible to provide an Enoki mushroom bagging device that can bag Enoki mushrooms in a good packaging form and improve workability.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention includes a bag support part that supports a flexible bag in an open state with the bag mouth facing upward; an Enoki mushroom insertion board for holding the Enoki mushroom with its length direction facing up and down and inserting and filling the Enoki mushroom into the bag through the bag opening; By positioning the lower end of the Enoki mushroom in a predetermined position when inserting the Enoki mushroom, retracting the Enoki mushroom insertion plate when inserting the Enoki mushroom, and holding the bag opening open,
In particular, a fixed amount of Enoki mushrooms placed on the bag opening side of the Enoki mushroom insertion plate is positioned so that the length direction of the Enoki mushrooms is in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the Enoki mushrooms is positioned at a predetermined position. Since the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate is provided to retract when inserting Enoki mushrooms and to hold the bag mouth open, the bag support part supports the bag mouth upwards and in an open state. When the Enoki mushrooms are inserted into the bag with the Enoki mushroom insertion plate, they are always held at a predetermined position relative to the Enoki mushroom insertion plate. This allows for better posture and secure bagging, and furthermore,
When the Enoki mushroom is held in the Enoki mushroom insertion plate, the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate is retracted to a position where it does not interfere with the Enoki mushroom insertion operation of the Enoki mushroom insertion plate, and at the same time, the Enoki mushroom insertion guide plate opens the bag opening. Since the forced opening is maintained, it is even better.
Since it can be packaged reliably and has a simple structure, it also has the advantage of being easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

Therefore, it is possible to provide an Enoki mushroom bagging device that can bag Enoki mushrooms or their analogues in fixed amounts reliably and efficiently, and has excellent practical effects.
