Description

Food separation and discharge device

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food material separating and discharging device, and more particularly, to a food material separating and discharging device which facilitates the discharge of food materials to be carried in a transportation box and minimizes the damage of food ingredients.

Generally, fruits and vegetables are harvested and stored in a storage box or transported to a factory. The foodstuffs transported to the factory in the transport box are either sorted by size or discharged from the transport box before being subjected to a multi-stage manufacturing process.

Conventionally, in order to carry out the work of separating the food material from the transportation box, the worker repeatedly carried out the work of manually feeding the food material into the machine. However, in such a case, there has been a problem that the worker repeatedly carries out the work process of unloading the carrying box containing the food material, resulting in a severe physical labor intensity and an increase in the working time.

In order to solve this problem, a machine for discharging foodstuffs from a conveying box has been developed. However, there has been a problem that the conveying box is discharged while the foodstuffs trapped in the conveying box can not be discharged during the dynamic process. In addition, there has been a problem that the quality of the food is deteriorated due to damage to the food during the discharge of the food from the box.

The pallet P is transported to the end of the pallet transporting conveyor 70 and six transport boxes 10 are moved upward by the robot arm 71 after being transported. Six conveyance boxes 10 are placed on the first conveying roller 201a of the first section A1 and empty pallets P are conveyed to the pallet discharge conveyor 70. [ The transport box 10 placed at one end of the first transport roller 201a is transported in the -x axis direction in turn by the rotation of the first transport roller 201a. When the transport box 10 is positioned at the end of the first section A1, it is transported by the transport chain 202 to the first section A1. The transport box 10 transported to the other end of the first section A1 is transported along the curved path of the centrifugal acceleration unit 30 to drop the food F. [ The food material F drops into the second discharge unit 50 and the damage of the food F by the guide plate 51 provided in the second discharge unit 50 can be minimized. The food material F discharged to the second discharge unit 50 is transferred to the alignment transfer unit 60 disposed at the other end of the second discharge unit 50.

[ The alignment conveying unit 60 may be arranged in a diagonal line so that the pair of conveyors are symmetrical so that the cross section may show a V shape. The alignment conveying unit 60 thus formed can be aligned And there is an advantage of facilitating the cutting of the food material F at a later time. The transport box 10 discharges the food material F which has not been discharged while being transferred from the other end of the centrifugal acceleration unit 30 to the first discharge unit 40 to the lower portion of the first discharge unit 40, F can be discharged through a bellows conveyor 72 whose length and direction can be adjusted and can be arranged by an operator.

The process of automatically dropping the foodstuff F from the transportation box 10 using the centrifugal force is carried out by automatically putting the transportation box 10 containing the food material F into the centrifugal acceleration unit 30 It can be repeated. By repeating such a work process through the food material separating and discharging device 1, it is possible to reduce the physical labor that occurs in the process of manually unloading the carrying box 10 by the operator, and unnecessary work is reduced, And the like can be efficiently performed.
