Abstract

PURPOSE: A device for transferring and pouring fruit baskets is provided to successively transfer the piled fruit baskets for pouring to a storehouse of a fruit distinguishing machine in mechanical method. CONSTITUTION: A fifth vertical roller is receded along a vertical cam(3) for being returned at an uppermost location of fruit baskets(2) along the vertical cam. Thus, the roller holds the basket. Moreover, a chain progresses for a handle iron bar widening rod to widen handle iron bars of the basket. Then, the chain continues movement for transferring the fruit basket. In transfer of the fruit baskets, center of gravity is located at a lower portion to maintain horizontal state. A vertical guide is hung to a fixing pin(7) for being slid along the fixing pin. Then, hangers(1,8) and the fruit basket are rotated for 180deg. to pour fruits. The chain is progressed for the horizontal guide to be located on a guide plate(6). Moreover, a horizontal cam(4) is located on the horizontal roller to drop the basket. In case of detecting a lowest basket in a location detector(14), the chain is stopped.

Description

A device for transporting and pouring fruit baskets {The Translation and Tilting Equipment of a Fruit Basket}

The present invention is a device for supplying fruit baskets transported from fruit farms to the fruit sorter, since five fruit baskets are stacked and transported in a truck, the height of the bottom of the truck loading box and the conveyor on the inlet side of the apparatus are the same, so that they are stacked five by one. The fruit baskets are transported sequentially from the top and poured into the storage of the fruit sorter. The sequential function is purely mechanical by means of cams and links.

Conventionally, the electronically controlled machine using a pneumatic cylinder and a direct-current motor is coming out, but the operation is made of complicated steps, which requires a lot of manufacturing costs and frequent operation errors. The error rarely occurs.

The present invention connects the chains (11) symmetrically to both sides of the fret (12), which is a steel structure, and welds the chain holders (23) on both sides of the hooks (1, 8) on the chains (11) by welding. Since the operation of the conveyor 9 and the chain 11 should be interlocked with each other, the position detector 14 is attached to perform the correlated operation. The fruit basket (2), which has reached the position detector (14), is mounted on the hooks (1, 8) and transported along the chain (11) to rotate 180 ° to pour fruit and unwind from the hooks (1,8). Falling into the empty fruit basket (2) will be stacked. This series of sequential controls are all mechanical.

The configuration of the present invention for supplying the fruit basket to the fruit sorter is largely as shown in Fig. 1, the frit 12, the chain 11, the hook device (1, 8), vertical cam (3), horizontal cam (4), vertical It consists of a guide plate (5), a horizontal guide plate (6), a fixing pin (7), a conveyor (9), a position sensor (14), and the like. 1, 8) is shown in Figure 4, the fruit basket (2) used in the present invention is shown in Figure 2. 2 is composed of a body portion 2 and fruit basket handle iron bar 37, fruit basket front protrusion 38, fruit basket side hole 39, fruit basket border protrusion 40, fruit basket handle iron bar (37) ) Can act as a handle for work and open outward. 3 shows the horizontal guide 21, the rotary device 22, the chain holder 23, the vertical guide 25, the horizontal roller 26, the vertical roller support 27, the intermediate link 28, fruit basket Fixed link (29), fruit basket handle bar lifter (30), fruit basket handle bar lifter (31), spring 1 (32), fruit basket handle bar handle lifter lever (33), vertical roller 1,2,3, 4,5 (34-1, 34-2, 34-3, 34-4, 34-5), fruit basket fixing stopper 35, and spring 2 (36).

4 shows a state of holding the fruit basket 2 as the chain 24 proceeds, and the fruit baskets 5 are stacked by the vertical roller 5 (34-5) by retreating backwards along the vertical cam 3 at a predetermined interval. (2) to avoid interference and to be unwinded to its original position along the vertical cam (3) at the top position to hold the fruit basket (2) and at the same time to advance the chain (24) to the fruit basket handle iron bar opener (31) By opening the fruit basket handle iron bar 37 of FIG. 2, the fruit basket 2 is transported by the continuous advance of the chain 24. This series of operations is performed by the vertical cam 3 and the vertical roller 4 (34-). 4), vertical roller 3 (34-3), vertical roller 2 (34-2), and vertical roller 1 (34-1). Here, the reason why the fruit basket handle iron bar 37 is opened is to pile up while falling as shown in Figure 1 because the empty fruit basket (2) is turned upside down at the moment when separated from the predetermined position. As the chain 24 proceeds, the fruit baskets 2 fixed to the hook devices 1 and 8 are transferred. In this process, the fruit baskets 2 are always horizontal because the center of gravity of the fruit baskets 2 is present at the bottom. 3 does not spill, while the vertical guide 25 of FIG. 3 is caught by the fixing pin 7 of FIG. 1 and slides around the fixing pin 7, the hook device 1 and 8 and the fruit basket 2 are 180. ° Rotate to pour fruit. Inverted fruit basket (2) is a horizontal guide 21 of Figure 3 rides the horizontal guide plate 6 of Figure 1 in accordance with the progress of the chain 24 in succession to the horizontal cam (4) while maintaining the current posture As the horizontal roller 26 of 3 burns, the opposite principle of FIG. 4 acts to release the fruit basket 2 so that the fruit basket 2 falls. This series of sequential operations is applied to the stacked fruit baskets (5), and the initial operation is performed when the lowest fruit basket (2) entering the conveyor (9) is detected by the position sensor (14) of FIG. After five sequential processes, the chain 24 is stopped to complete the work.

As described in the above description, the present invention is a device for pouring fruit baskets transported from fruit trees to fruit supply containers of fruit sorters, as a device for automating hard work by manpower. This can be applied to apples, pears, etc., because it can avoid damage caused by collision between fruits, and it is developed mechanically using cams and links. There is an inexpensive advantage over other methods.
