Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automatic paper wrapping device for automatically wrapping a fan-shaped paper around the mouth of an enoki mushroom cultivation container according to the growth of the fruiting body of enoki mushrooms. In particular, the present invention relates to an automatic paper rolling device capable of automatically transferring cultivation containers.

[Conventional technology] As conventional equipment of this type, it is carried in and transported.

A device constructed to continuously perform a series of paper rolling operations consisting of paper rolling and unloading was published in 1986-42801.
It is proposed in the publication.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional technology is configured to continuously perform a series of paper rolling operations, so the cultivation container may not be supplied to a predetermined location, or the paper rolling operation may malfunction. However, there are cases where the system continues to operate even when there is a problem, which causes inconvenience.

In order to solve this problem, the applicant has proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 180522/1983 an automatic paper winding device configured to perform a series of paper winding operations in one cycle when a cultivation container is brought in. By the way, if the configuration is such that a series of paper roll operations are started when the cultivation container is brought in as described above, there is not much problem if the cultivation container is brought in automatically, but when manually raking, the hands are removed from the cultivation container. It is predicted that the cultivation container will be transferred before being separated and that the cultivation container will fall over.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic paper winding device for an enoki mushroom cultivation container, which allows the cultivation container to be reliably transferred after the cultivation container is removed from the cultivation container.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a start switch for an automatic paper rolling device configured to carry out a series of paper rolling operations in one cycle starting from transporting a cultivation container from a carry-in location to a paper rolling location; A delay means for transferring the cultivation container after a set time has elapsed after the start switch is operated, and the set time of the delay means can be adjusted from 0 to 1 second by an adjustment section.

[Example] First, enoki mushrooms! A first embodiment of an automatic paper winding device for cultivation containers is shown below.
This will be explained with reference to the drawings and FIG.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a paper storage section in which a large number of fan-shaped papers 2 are stacked vertically and stored in reverse, and is provided so as to be movable forward and backward by cam control a#I or the like.

In addition, in the paper storage section 1, the central part of the stacked papers 2 is shaped to protrude into a mountain shape, and is pressed and held by the elastic force of the spring 3 according to the amount of the paper bracket 2. tL
``cLI&kkL@:1 The laminated paper 2 is held between the press plate 4 and the presser member 5 provided in the paper storage section 1.The paper 2 is held in a mountain shape. It may be stored as a flat bundle of paper without protruding, or it may be stacked horizontally in large numbers.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a pair of left and right arms that are arranged to face the paper 2 stored in the paper storage section 1, and a suction cup 7 is pivoted to the tip of each arm 6 by a support shaft 8 so as to be able to swing freely in the left and right directions. At the same time, the suction PA 7 is given an elastic force by a spring 9 so as to swing inward at all times, and is held by a stopper (not shown) in a state inclined inward at approximately 45 degrees. With the suction cup 7 tilted inward at approximately 45 degrees, the suction cup 7 is tilted toward the paper 2. An actuating pin 10 arranged to protrude further is provided on the base side of the suction cup 7, and a tip 10a of the actuating pin 10 is bent outward. Further, a pressure relief generator (not shown) such as a vacuum pump is connected to the suction cup 7. Reference numeral 11 denotes an inversion shaft to which the base of the arm 6 to which the suction cup 7 is attached is fixed, and is pivoted on a pair of left and right receiving plates 12. The reversing shaft 11 is provided with an appropriate reversing mechanism 13 operated by a cam control mechanism or the like. In that case, in the drawing, the rack 13b is arranged to mesh with the binion 13a provided on the reversing shaft 11, and the rack 1
Formed so that the arm 6 is reversed by the lifting and lowering movement of 3b,
However, a rotary actuator (not shown) or the like may be used instead of the binion rack.

14 is the mouth part 1 of the cultivation container 16 supplied to the paper wrapping part 15
It is a curved paper presser that follows the shape of 6a, and is arranged so that it can move forward and backward using a cam control mechanism or the like. Although not shown, the pressure relief generating device of the suction cup 7 is turned off when the paper presser 14 moves forward, and turned on when it moves backward. Reference numeral 17 denotes a retaining member that can hold the cultivation container 16 at the paper wrapping location 15.

A pair of rotating shafts 18 are arranged in m stages on both sides of the filter paper feeding area 15 in which the cultivation container 16 is held, and are rotated back and forth at an appropriate angle by a cam control mechanism, etc., and an operating rod 19 is installed above each of the rotating shafts 18. At the same time, one operating rod 1
An elastic, curved lower-winding arm 21 is pivotally connected to the lower-winding arm 9 via a link 20 on a support shaft 22, and the link 20 and the lower-winding arm 21 are each provided with a spring 23 when the lower winding arm is in a high position. A force is applied toward the cultivation container 16 side. An upper winding arm 24 is pivotally attached to the other operating rod 19 by a support shaft 22a via a spring 25, and a substantially C-shaped clip 26 made of an elastic material such as plastic is attached to this upper winding arm 24. When the upper winding arm 24 is in a standby state, one clip 26 falls under its own weight and is stored in the groove 27. When the upper winding arm 24 is in operation, the clip 26 is stored in the groove 27. A clip storage section 29 is disposed above the upper winding arm 24 so that the shutter 28 works in conjunction with the upper winding arm 24 to prevent the clip 26 from falling under its own weight.

Further, a paper receiving member 30 that contacts the lower end of the paper 2 and prevents the paper 2 from sliding down from a predetermined position is pivotally attached to each operating rod 19, and a spring (not shown) is attached to the paper receiving member 30. A force is always applied toward the cultivation container 16 side.

Therefore, when the paper storage section 1 moves forward by a cam control mechanism or the like, the tip end 10a of the operating pin 10 first contacts the outermost paper 2 among the multiple stacked sheets of paper 2, and the paper storage section 1 As the actuating pin 10 moves toward the outside as the actuating pin 10 moves forward, the suction cup 7 integrated with the actuating pin 10 rotates outward, that is, toward the plane of the paper against the elastic force of the spring 9, and the suction cup 7 follows the plane of the paper. It becomes almost horizontal and is attracted to the paper 2.

After that, when the paper storage section 1 is moved back by a control mechanism or the like, one sheet of paper 2 remains attached to the suction cup 7, and the other sheets of paper 2 are moved back as the paper storage section 1 moves. As the suction cup 7 retreats, the suction cup 7 returns to its oscillating state at approximately 45 degrees inward due to the elastic force of the spring 9, so that the paper attracted to the suction cup 7 is shaped into a roughly U-shaped curve.

In this case, the suction cup 7 is held swinging at approximately 45 degrees, but it suffices that the suction cup 7 be tilted inward at an appropriate angle and the angle may be changed as appropriate. Although a flat press plate 4 is provided to facilitate suction, a flat press plate 4 may also be used. Also, the suction cup 7 is not on the paper storage section 1 side. The arm 6 side may be moved back and forth, and although the disc-shaped suction cup 7 is shown in the figure, its shape and structure may be changed as appropriate.

Next, as described above, after taking out a piece of paper 2 from the paper V handle 1, the arm 6 is moved to approximately 18 mm by the operation of the reversal f11m13.
Mouth part 1 of the cultivation container 16 where the direction has been changed by 0 degrees so that the upside down paper 2 is now facing forward and has already been supplied to the paper wrapping area 15
6a is supplied with paper 2, and the curved portion 2a of the paper 2 is arranged so as to correspond to the mouth portion 16a. Then, when the paper presser 14 is advanced by cam control am or the like, the curved portion 2a of the paper 2 is The paper 2 is pressed onto the circumferential surface of the opening 16a of the container 16 and held along the outer circumferential surface of the opening 16a of the cultivation container 16 in a substantially U-shape. Furthermore, in the above explanation, the arm 6 of the suction cup 7 is reversed and supplied to the opening 16a of the cultivation container 16, but the arm 6 of the suction cup 7 is The sheet of paper 2 is arranged to move forward and backward, and after shaping a sheet of paper 2 into a curved shape by forward and backward movement of the arm 6, the arm 6 is further advanced without being reversed and fed to the opening 16a of the cultivation container 16. Alternatively, the paper 2 may be fed flatly without being shaped into a curved shape, and the feeding configuration may be changed as appropriate.

Next, after the paper 2 is transferred and held up to the opening 16a of the cultivation container 16, the lower rotation shaft 18 is rotated by the control mechanism and the operating rod 19. The link 20 and the lower arm 21 move toward the cultivation container 16, and the tip of the curved lower arm 21 comes into contact with the paper 2, and then, by the force of the spring 23 and the action of the link 20, one side of the paper 2 is moved toward the cultivation container 16. 16 and gradually wrap it so as to smooth out wrinkles or looseness, and then the upper winding side rotating shaft 18 rotates, the operating rod 19 and the upper winding arm 24 move toward the cultivation container 16, and the clip 26 The end of the paper 2 contacts the other side of the paper 2, and then, by the force of the spring 25, the other side of the paper 2 is wrapped so as to extend along the opening 16a of the cultivation container 16, and both ends of the paper 2 are stacked vertically. As soon as the winding is completed, the clip 26 separates from the groove 27 and automatically fits into the opening 16a to wrap and fix the paper 2. In this case, the paper receiving section 30 supports the lower end and upper side of the paper 2 in conjunction with the lower winding arm 21 and the upper winding arm 24.

After that, the upper winding arm 24 and the lower winding arm 21 are fx
1m long. In that case, the lower arm 21 returns to its original position along the circumference of the opening 16a of the cultivation container 16 by the link action. The above description shows an example of a mechanism for winding and fixing both sides of the paper 2 with the clip 26. In the above explanation, the clip 26 was formed so as to press directly onto the paper 2 and wrap it, but the upper winding arm 24 may be formed so as to be pressed directly onto the paper 2 and wound thereon, or the clip 26 and the upper winding arm 24 may be formed so as to be pressed onto the paper 2 and wound thereon at the same time. In addition, when winding paper, after winding it with the arm for upper winding, the clip storage part arrange|positioned individually may be operated and it may fit in the mouth part of a clip cultivation container. Alternatively, instead of using a clip, you can provide a zipper or the like on both ends of the paper so that when the paper is wrapped around the mouth of the cultivation container, the two ends of the paper will be overlapped and fixed by the zipper or the like. good.

Next, a description will be given of a starting switch and a cultivation container transfer mechanism for performing a series of paper-rolling operations in one cycle by the user of the cultivation container.
