 図8に、図1に示した苺のヘタ取り装置の作動を説明する図を示した。
 図3、図4、図7および図8を参照し、本実施形態の苺のヘタ取り装置100の作動について説明する。
 苺のヘタ取り装置100に投入される苺の果実Iは、ヘタHの付いた状態で収穫される。ここで、投入される苺の果実Iには、茎がついたものが含まれていてもよい。
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the scissor removal device shown in FIG.
With reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the operation of the scissor removing device 100 of the present embodiment will be described.
The fruit I of the persimmon that is put into the persimmon sticking device 100 is harvested in a state with a sticker H. Here, the strawberry fruit I to be introduced may include those with stems.
 苺のヘタ取り装置100を用いて苺の果実IのヘタHを取り除く作業を行う際には、従動スプロケット32A,32Bの下流側で、従動スプロケット52の上流側の領域Vで、例えば、手作業で苺の果実IのヘタHを下にして、第1の搬送手段30によって搬送方向Cに移動している受け皿20に苺の果実Iを載せる。ここで、茎がついた苺の果実Iの場合は、受け皿20の一対の部材20A,20Bの間に茎を通して受け皿20に載せる。従動スプロケット32A,32Bと駆動スプロケット33A,33Bは、図8中の実線矢印で示した方向に回転しているので、受け皿20に載った苺の果実Iは、搬送方向Cへ移動する。 When performing the work of removing the sticker H of the fruit I of the strawberries using the sticker removing apparatus 100, for example, in the region V downstream of the driven sprockets 32A and 32B and upstream of the driven sprocket 52, for example, manual work. Then, the fruit H of the persimmon fruit I is placed downward, and the persimmon fruit I is placed on the saucer 20 that is moving in the transport direction C by the first transport means 30. Here, in the case of strawberry fruit I with a stem, it is placed on the saucer 20 through a stem between a pair of members 20A, 20B of the saucer 20. Since the driven sprockets 32A and 32B and the drive sprockets 33A and 33B rotate in the direction indicated by the solid line arrow in FIG. 8, the fruit I on the saucer 20 moves in the transport direction C.
 一方、従動スプロケット52から従動スプロケット62の間の領域Wで、従動スプロケット52と駆動スプロケット53の上側のチェーン51で針先が上を向いていた針部40の針41は、第2の搬送手段50の上流側の従動スプロケット52で針先の向きを下へ変える。ここで、受け皿20と針41とが対応するように、第1の駆動手段30と第2の駆動手段とは、同期して動いている。したがって、針先の向きを下へ変えた針41は、受け皿20に載った苺の果実Iを上方向から刺す。本実施形態では、針41は、搬送方向Cに進むにしたがい下に下がっていく。したがって、苺の果実Iの大きさが小さい場合でも針41が、苺の果実Iに確実に刺さる。また、搬送方向Cに進むにつれ深く刺さっていく。針41が刺さった苺の果実Iは、受け皿20に載った状態で搬送方向Cに進む。 On the other hand, in the region W between the driven sprocket 52 and the driven sprocket 62, the needle 41 of the needle portion 40 with the needle tip facing upward in the chain 51 on the upper side of the driven sprocket 52 and the driving sprocket 53 is the second conveying means. The direction of the needle tip is changed downward by the follower sprocket 52 upstream of 50. Here, the first driving means 30 and the second driving means are moving in synchronization so that the tray 20 and the needle 41 correspond. Therefore, the needle 41 whose needle point has been changed downwardly pierces the fruit I on the saucer 20 from above. In the present embodiment, the needle 41 is lowered as it advances in the conveyance direction C. Therefore, even when the size of the strawberry fruit I is small, the needle 41 surely pierces the strawberry fruit I. Further, as it advances in the conveyance direction C, it pierces deeply. The fruit I of the persimmon stuck with the needle 41 proceeds in the transport direction C while being placed on the tray 20.
 次に、受け皿20は、領域Xの駆動スプロケット33A,33Bまで来ると、チェーン30A,30Bとともに、下に移動し、苺の果実Iから離れていく。
 ここで、第1の搬送手段30の駆動スプロケット33A,33Bの上流側には、第3の搬送手段60の従動スプロケット62が、下流側には駆動スプロケット63が配置され、従動スプロケット62および駆動スプロケット63の上のチェーン61は、図1、図3および図4に示した受け皿20の一対の部材20A,20Bの間を通って、上流側から下流側に移動している。
Next, when the tray 20 reaches the drive sprockets 33A and 33B in the region X, the tray 20 moves downward together with the chains 30A and 30B and moves away from the fruit I of the strawberries.
Here, the driven sprocket 62 of the third conveying means 60 is arranged on the upstream side of the driving sprockets 33A and 33B of the first conveying means 30, and the driving sprocket 63 is arranged on the downstream side. The chain 61 above 63 moves from the upstream side to the downstream side through between the pair of members 20A and 20B of the tray 20 shown in FIGS.
 従動スプロケット62および駆動スプロケット63の上側のチェーン61の位置は、受け皿20から離れた苺の果実Iが、針部40の針41とチェーン61とで保持される位置であれば特に限定されないが、受け皿20の一対の部材20A,20Bの間で、図4に示した受け皿20の底部26付近を通るのが好ましい。 The position of the chain 61 on the upper side of the driven sprocket 62 and the drive sprocket 63 is not particularly limited as long as the fruit I separated from the tray 20 is held by the needle 41 of the needle portion 40 and the chain 61. It is preferable to pass near the bottom portion 26 of the tray 20 shown in FIG. 4 between the pair of members 20A and 20B of the tray 20.
 受け皿20から離れた苺の果実Iは、受け皿20の壁21A,21B,22A,22B,23A,23Bが傾いているので、その大きさにより受け皿20の底部26まで苺の果実IのヘタH方向の部分が達していないものもある。そのため、第3の搬送手段60が受け皿20から苺の果実Iを受け取る際に、苺の果実Iが下方に若干下がった状態で、チェーン61に載る。
 受け皿20から離れた苺の果実Iは、針部40とチェーン61とで保持されて搬送方向Cの領域Yに向かう。
Since the walls 21A, 21B, 22A, 22B, 23A, and 23B of the saucer 20 are inclined, the fruit I of the persimmon that is away from the saucer 20 is inclined to the bottom 26 of the saucer 20 depending on the size thereof. There are things that are not reached. Therefore, when the 3rd conveyance means 60 receives the fruit I of persimmon from the saucer 20, it rests on the chain 61 in the state which the fruit I of persimmon fell a little below.
The fruit I of the cocoon away from the receiving tray 20 is held by the needle portion 40 and the chain 61 and travels toward the region Y in the conveyance direction C.
 領域Yにおいて、第3の搬送手段60の両側には、切断手段70が配置されている。図7に示したように、苺の果実IのヘタH付近には、一対の回転刃73,74が接近して配置されている。
 これにより、苺の果実Iは両側からヘタHとともに三角溝状に切断され、ヘタHが取り除かれる。ヘタHは、ヘタHを受ける容器80に向けて落下する。
In the region Y, cutting means 70 are arranged on both sides of the third transport means 60. As shown in FIG. 7, a pair of rotary blades 73 and 74 are arranged close to each other in the vicinity of the head H of the fruit I of the persimmon.
Thereby, the fruit I of a persimmon is cut | judged in triangular groove shape with both sides with the Heta from both sides, and the Heta H is removed. The spatula H falls toward the container 80 that receives the spatula H.
 領域Zにおいて、ヘタHが取り除かれた苺の果実Iは、搬送方向Cに進むと、搬送方向Cの下流側に設けられた板90に当たる。板90は、搬送方向の上流側から下流側に向かって下方に下がるように設けられている。したがって、板90に当たったヘタHが取り除かれた苺の果実Iは、搬送方向Cに進むにつれて、下方に押しやられ落下する。
 板90は、搬送方向Cに対して針部40の片側に設けられていてもよいし、両側に設けられていてもよい。
In the region Z, the fruit I from which the sticker H has been removed hits a plate 90 provided on the downstream side in the transport direction C when proceeding in the transport direction C. The plate 90 is provided so as to descend downward from the upstream side in the transport direction toward the downstream side. Therefore, the fruit I of the cocoon from which the sticker H hitting the plate 90 has been removed is pushed down and falls as it proceeds in the conveyance direction C.
The plate 90 may be provided on one side of the needle portion 40 with respect to the conveyance direction C, or may be provided on both sides.
 また、落下した苺の果実Iの下方に、水が流れる樋(図示せず)を設けることも可能である。これにより、苺のヘタHの破片とともに落下した苺の果実Iは、この樋の内部の水面に受け止められて流下した後、シャワー洗浄によってヘタHの破片から分離される。 It is also possible to provide a jar (not shown) through which water flows below the fallen strawberry fruit I. Thereby, the fruit I of the camellia that has fallen together with the broken pieces of the spear H is received by the water surface inside the persimmon and flows down, and then separated from the spatter H pieces by shower cleaning.
 以上述べた実施形態によれば、以下の効果がある。
(1)茎のあるなしにかかわらず収穫された、大小様々な大きさの苺の果実IのヘタHを確実にかつ効率よく取り除くことができる苺のヘタ取り装置100を得ることができる。したがって、苺の果実Iの大きさに関わらず、果実IとヘタHを確実に分離することができるから、果実Iの大きさが様々に異なる苺をジャムの原材料として無駄なく活用することができる。
The embodiment described above has the following effects.
(1) It is possible to obtain the spider removing device 100 that can reliably and efficiently remove the spatter H of fruits I of various sizes, which have been harvested regardless of whether or not they have stems. Therefore, regardless of the size of the fruit I of the persimmon, it is possible to reliably separate the fruit I and the cutout H, so that persimmons having different sizes of the fruit I can be utilized as a raw material for jam without waste. .
(2)受け皿20は、搬送方向Cに対して両側に分かれた一対の部材20A,20Bを有し、第3の搬送手段60は、一対の部材20A,20Bの間を通る。したがって、受け皿20に載った苺の果実Iを第3の搬送手段60が確実に受け取ることができる。 (2) The tray 20 has a pair of members 20A and 20B divided on both sides with respect to the transport direction C, and the third transport means 60 passes between the pair of members 20A and 20B. Therefore, the third conveying means 60 can reliably receive the fruit I on the saucer 20.
(3)切断手段70は、両側から同時に苺の果実Iを切断するので、苺の果実Iの両側から同時に力が加わり、苺の果実Iが片側にずれるのを低減でき、安定して苺の果実Iが切断できる。 (3) Since the cutting means 70 simultaneously cuts the fruit I of the persimmon from both sides, force can be applied from both sides of the persimmon fruit I at the same time, and the shift of the persimmon fruit I to one side can be reduced. Fruit I can be cut.
(4)受け皿20の壁21A,21B,22A,22B,23A,23Bが、苺の果実Iが載せられる方向Pに向かって外側に傾斜している。したがって、種々の大きさ、形状の苺の果実Iを受け皿20に載せる際に、苺の果実Iは、壁21A,21B,22A,22B,23A,23Bにガイドされ、受け皿20にヘタHが、受け皿20の底部26の略同じ位置に収まる。 (4) The walls 21A, 21B, 22A, 22B, 23A, and 23B of the tray 20 are inclined outward in the direction P in which the fruit I of the persimmon is placed. Therefore, when placing the fruit I of various sizes and shapes on the receiving tray 20, the fruit I of the straw is guided by the walls 21A, 21B, 22A, 22B, 23A, 23B, It fits in the substantially same position of the bottom part 26 of the tray 20.

In FIG. 9, the scissor removing device 300 is obtained by connecting the scissor removing device 100 of the first embodiment horizontally to form two stations.
 以上述べた実施形態によれば、以下の効果がある。
(5)苺のヘタ取り装置300は、第1実施形態の苺のヘタ取り装置100を横に連結したので、ヘタHをとる単位時間当たりの苺の果実Iの個数が増え、作業効率が向上しコストを低減できる。
The embodiment described above has the following effects.
(5) Since the tack removing apparatus 300 of the first embodiment is connected horizontally to the tack removing apparatus 100 of the first embodiment, the number of fruit I per unit time for taking the tack H increases, and the work efficiency is improved. The cost can be reduced.
