Definitions

  • the invention relates to the treatment of green fruits, in particular plums, to which it is conventional to undergo cooking in order to transform them into prunes.
  • the present invention provides a solution to this problem.
  • the grader comprises a series of strings movable side by side in a closed circuit, the spacing between the strings increasing along the path of the green fruits from the entrance of this grader.
  • the lifting belt is provided with rinsing means.
  • the drive of the racks is ensured by a first and a second endless roller chain, respectively located in the first and second drive means, and driven from the same motor at different linear speeds. It is interesting that this motor is located on the downstream side of the second drive means.
  • the transfer means which are part of the second drive means comprise a pusher member for ensuring the transfer of the rack on the carriage, at the same time as a good stacking of the racks on one another on this same carriage .
  • the second drive means comprise a third chain, the useful part of which scrolls above that of the second chain, and this third chain is driven by a separate motor, which also actuates two push rollers placed each at the end of an arm.
  • first and second drive means comprise rollers and / or rollers aligned, suitable for continuous support of the racks by their lateral uprights.
  • the installation according to the invention begins in the lower left corner with a receptacle for loose green plums, referenced 1.
  • This receptacle 1 is provided with a water supply, as well as an overflow full, so that plums can be washed.
  • a lifting belt 2 leaves from the interior of this tank 1 to raise the green plums and deliver them to a inclined plane 29. Slats are naturally attached to this carpet to raise the plums.
  • a ramp 28 equipped with sprayers rinses the plums.
  • the inclined plane 29 delivers the green plums to a grading machine designated as a whole by 3.
  • This grading machine has strings 30 mounted in a closed circuit, and arranged in such a way that their spacing increases along the path of the plums. Under the grader are provided two plum outlet stations 38A and 38B, forming respectively converging above transport chains 5A and 58. The spacing of the strings 30 increases as the plums advance towards the upper end grader 3. It is thus ensured, in a very simple and effective manner, that plums of size less than a threshold are distributed at the exit station 38A, while the others are distributed at the exit station 38B .
  • Each of the chains 5A and 5B comprises first drive means 50, followed by second drive means 60, the latter ensuring the transfer of a rack to one of the platform elevators 8A and 8B, as will be seen more far.
  • Trolleys 8 are placed on carriages (not shown for simplicity). When a trolley is full, the tray 85 which supports it is returned to the low position, and a rail system 90, 91 allows the transfer of this trolley to the baking oven 9.
  • the rail system 90, 91 is controlled by two different feeds (not shown), one being suitable for cooking small plums and the other being suitable for cooking large plums.
  • each platform elevator 8 has a base in the general shape of a U, with a bottom 81 F, a left edge 81 G and a right edge 81 D.
  • the bottom 81 F supports the upright 82 on which the platform moves 85.
  • a table is defined by legs 51-1, etc., connected at the bottom by bars 52-1, etc. These feet support a structure of which one sees one of the lateral flanges 54, and which supports the end rollers 532 and 533, on which is wound an endless chain 53.
  • This chain 53 is for example a "Sedis” chain agricultural type, reference S45.
  • the upper part of the chain, between the rollers 532 and 533, runs on a straight guide, at least in the area where the racks will be driven.
  • a screen is illustrated schematically in Figure 2D.
  • It comprises a conventional flat support 70, the edges of which are clamped between pairs of lateral uprights 71 and pairs of end uprights 72.
  • the plane 70 is supported by a lower cross-member 73 , mounted between the lower parts of the lateral parts 71, perpendicular to the latter.
  • the lower parts of the lateral supports 71 rest on rollers suitably arranged along the path of movement of the racks C1, C2, C3.
  • the chain tensioner already mentioned is arranged in such a way that the chain rollers come into a soft grip on the lower parts of the end posts 72, as well as of the intermediate cross-member 73.
  • the rack C2 is located in line with an oblique chute 39, terminating one of the converging or hoppers 38 of FIG. 1.
  • One of the rollers supporting the lateral parts 71 of the racks appears at 59, at the right end of the first drive means 50.
  • a pinion 534 cooperating via an endless chain 535 with a smaller pinion 634 of the second drive means 60.
  • This same pinion 634 is mounted on the same shaft as a roller 633, on which is wound a second rack drive chain, denoted 63, and of the same nature as the chain 53.
  • This chain 63 in turn comes on another roller 632 , mounted on the same shaft as a pulley 636 driven by a belt 637 arriving on the pulley 638 of a motor 639 mounted on a support 640.
  • This support 640 is integral with one 61-2 of the feet 61 of the second means drive 60, where there is also a lower cross 62-1.
  • the second rack drive chain 63 also has its tensioner 631, as well as a guide in the upper part, to bring it substantially in alignment at this level on the upper part of the chain 53.
  • the second drive means 60 also include lateral flanges 74.
  • the support of the racks can be provided by rollers as before.
  • the bottoms of the lateral uprights 71 of the racks are no longer supported by rollers, but by rollers, as illustrated at 69 in the figures 2, 2A and 2C.
  • FIG. 2B again shows the plate 85 which supports the CT bottom of a transport cart (the rest of the cart is not shown for simplicity).
  • a C8 rack has just been placed on this carriage, by joint actuation of the chains 63 and 73.
  • a transport trolley generally comprises lateral supports 86 which hinder the good alignment of the new racks on the plate 85.
  • two push rollers 79 each placed at the end of an arm 78 ensure by a circular movement a good alignment of each new rack placed on the carriage.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B for the description of the platform elevator.
  • the base 81 of the latter therefore supports an upright 82, which can simply be a beam of square section, provided in the lower part with a roller 832 and in the upper part with a roller 834 associated with a motor not shown. Between these two rollers runs a chain 83.
  • This chain 83 is integral with a slide 84, provided with four rollers regularly distributed at right angles, and denoted 841. These rollers, which have a V-shaped groove at right angles, allow precise guidance of the slide 84 on the beam 83.
  • Organs 840 serve to support the plate 85. These organs 840 can for example be smooth rollers.
  • the slide 84 supports the actual plate 85, formed of a transverse beam 851 supporting the upper plane 850, in which are provided angles 854 and 856 serving as reinforcements in line with the passage of the wheels of the rack carrier.
  • the correct positioning of the carriage is ensured by a central angle 855, turned upwards, and of U-shaped section, flared at the ends.
  • angles 854 and 856 come into alignment with the guide rails 90 and 91 of FIG. 1.
  • the present invention allows operation in advanced automation of plum processing facilities, in particular for making them by cooking prunes, and this while preserving the investments acquired, in particular at the level of racks, transport trolleys and oven. (if applicable).
