Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a new noodle bundling device for dividing linear noodles in a loose state, particularly dry noodles, into bundles for bundling.

[Conventional technology]

This type of bundling device is provided with a shoot pocket having a bottom plate that can be opened and closed at the lower end adjacent to the end of the belt conveyor extending in the horizontal direction, and a shoot pocket is installed in the upper part of the bottom plate of the shoot pocket. A protruding partition member is attached to the inside of the shoe pocket so as to divide the bag into upper and lower parts, and noodles can be loaded into the shoot pocket by appropriate operation of a belt conveyor, and the partition member and the bottom plate can be separated by alternate operation of the partition member and the bottom plate. A device is known in which noodles are divided into bundles by supplying the noodles to a divided space between them and discharging the noodles received in the divided space (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1973-
(See Publication No. 15549).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In this known bundling device, the protrusion of the partition member into the chute pocket for sorting the noodles is particularly important for noodles that are tightly packed together due to gravity and are not perfectly aligned. Since it is done by forcing people inside, there is a problem that the noodles are easily damaged. Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a bundle sorting device that can sort noodles without cutting or damaging the noodles.

[Means for solving problems]

According to this invention, the above object is to provide an intermittent-operating vibrating conveyor for horizontally transporting noodles in a side-by-side parallel state, with at least the widthwise middle part of the terminal end being open to support the noodles in a cross-linked state. and,
A vertical guide part fixed to the end of the vibrating conveyor that extends above the vibrating conveyor so that the noodles transferred on the vibrating conveyor can be stopped and engaged, and the noodles can move by themselves in the extending direction of the vibrating conveyor from the upper end of the vertical guide part. A shoot block having a shoot part that extends at a slope, and a vertical guide part of the shoot block installed below the terminal end of the vibration conveyor immediately before the shoot block so as to be movable up and down through the open middle part of the vibration conveyor. At the front position of the vibrating conveyor, the vertical wall extending in the width direction of the vibrating conveyor and the vertical wall extend from the vertical wall toward the chute block at an incline that allows the noodles to run on their own, and when rising, the vertical wall and the vertical guide of the chute block a lift block having an inclined wall part which forms a pocket capable of supporting noodles in cooperation with the lift block; and a damming member that forms a pocket capable of supporting noodles in cooperation with the dam, and the damming member approaches the chute portion of the shoot block during each operation of the vibrating conveyor, and At each stop of operation, the lift block is moved away from and then close to the chute portion of the lift block, and the lift block is located below the vibratory conveyor during each operation of the vibrating conveyor, and the lift block is located below the vibrating conveyor at each stop of operation of the vibrating conveyor. A noodle bundling device in which, after a chute block approaches and separates from a chute part, the lower end of an inclined wall part rises until it reaches a height above the upper end of the chute block, and then descends to a position below a vibrating conveyor. Let's solve it.

[Effect]

In the noodles bundling device of this invention, the noodles are sequentially transferred to the upper part of the lift block adjacent to the shoot block in an aligned state due to vibration by the intermittent operation of the vibrating conveyor. During the intermittent transfer of noodles by this vibrating conveyor, the damming member is in a state close to the chute portion of the chute block. When the lift block is raised after each intermittent operation of the vibrating conveyor is stopped, the noodles transferred by the vibrating conveyor to the upper part of the inclined part of the lift block adjacent to the shoot block are transferred to the corresponding noodles part of the vertical wall part. After being partitioned and separated from the succeeding one by the pushing-in part, it is received and lifted into a pocket formed by the vertical guide part of the shoot block and the inclined part and vertical wall part of the lift block. As a result, by the time the lower end of the inclined part of the lift block rises above the height of the upper end of the shoot part of the shoot block, the lift block is sequentially moved to the shoot part of the shoot block and the damming member is placed on the shoot part. They are dammed up and thrown into a pool.

The noodles thus pooled on the chute section are then vibrated by the vibrations of the chute block during the next intermittent operation of the vibrating conveyor, and are substantially moved beyond the plane to which the upper end of the chute block belongs. A large amount of noodles overflows from the top of the chute and returns onto the vibrating conveyor. Therefore, if the amount of noodles transferred by the lift block onto the chute part of the chute block is always in a state where it can overflow due to the above-mentioned vibration, the amount of noodles transferred onto the chute part of the chute block by the lift block can be kept in a state where it can overflow by the time the operation of the vibrating conveyor is finished. At all times, a certain amount of noodles remains on the chute portion, corresponding to the space substantially surrounded by the chute portion, the dam member and the plane to which the upper end of the chute block belongs.

After this, after each operation of the vibrating conveyor stops and before the lift block moves up and down, the remaining dams leave the chute part by moving the dam member away from and approaching the chute part, and the top of the chute part is then moved on. It becomes ready to receive noodles transferred via the lift block.

Therefore, in this device, the amount of noodles accommodated in the space surrounded by the shoot portion of the shoot block, the damming member, and the plane to which the upper end of the shoot block belongs corresponds to the desired unit bundle amount of noodles; By setting the specifications so that the amount of noodles transferred by lifting the lift block after each intermittent operation of the vibrating conveyor stops exceeds the unit bundling amount above, the desired amount of noodles can be separated into bundles. It is something that can be done.

〔Example〕

For example, as illustrated in the drawings, this invention is applied to a mechanical, electrical, or pneumatic vibrating conveyor in which the intermediate part in the width direction of the terminal end is cut out so that the noodles A can be supported in a cross-linked state. At the upper part, there is a plate-shaped or comb-shaped noodle transfer amount adjusting member 13 that is movable up and down via an air cylinder 15.
On the other hand, the shoot block 21 is attached to the trough 11 of the vibrating conveyor, and a pair of right triangular plates having a vertical guide part 23 and a shoot part 25 extending obliquely from the upper end of the vertical guide part 23 are attached to the chute block 21.
The lift block 31 is formed by installing the noodles A facing each other at a supportable interval in the middle part of the notch in the width direction of the vertical wall part 33.
It is formed by assembling a plurality of plates, such as a plate forming the slope wall portion 35, a plate forming the pocket 37, and a plate forming the pocket 37, and is connected to the air cylinder 32, and at the front part of the shoot block 21, Vibratory conveyor trough 11
through the notch in the middle, allowing it to rise up and down,
Furthermore, a damming member 41 such as a plate shape or a comb shape
is attached to the swinging holder 43 at the upper part of the shoot block 21 so as to hang down from the swinging holder 43, and by swinging via the air cylinder 47,
The chute part 25 is moved toward and away from the chute part by swinging vertical movement, and the swinging holder 43 supports an adjusting screw 45 extending substantially parallel to the extending direction of the chute part 25. This can be implemented by engaging a nut 41a attached to the upper end of the dam member 41.

In this illustrated example, the distance between the noodle transfer amount adjusting member 13 and the noodle support surface is adjusted via the air cylinder 15, and each time the vibrating conveyor is intermittently operated, an amount of noodles A exceeding the unit bundling amount is transferred to the trough of the vibrating conveyor. At the same time, the damming member 41 is transferred to the terminal end of the shoot block 2.
The amount of noodles accommodated in the space surrounded by the chute portion 25 of 1, the damming member 41, and the plane to which the upper end of the chute block 21 belongs corresponds to the desired unit bundling amount. While the vibrating conveyor is operated intermittently with the position adjusted, after each operation of the vibrating conveyor is stopped,
After the damming member 41 is moved away from and close to the chute portion via the air cylinder 47, the lift block 31 is moved up and down via the air cylinder 32.

As a result, the amount of noodles exceeding the unit bundling amount, which is sequentially transferred above the inclined wall portion 35 of the lift block 31 adjacent to the shoot block 21, is
As the lift block 31 rises, the vertical wall portion 33 is first separated from the succeeding portion by pushing into the boundary with the succeeding portion, and then the vertical guide portion 23 of the lift block 21 is separated from the succeeding portion.
Then, the lift block 31 is received by the pocket formed by the sloped part 35 and the vertical wall part 33 and lifted, and the lower end of the sloped part 35 is at or above the height of the upper end of the shoot part 25 of the shoot block 21. By the time it goes up, it is sequentially transferred to the chute section 25 and the chute section 2 of the shoot block 21 is moved to the chute section 25.
5 and the dam member 41 are temporarily pooled.

Thereafter, the noodles A pooled on this chute part 25 are vibrated by the vibration of the chute block 21 during the next intermittent operation of the vibrating conveyor, and the flat surface to which the upper end of the chute block 21 belongs is vibrated. The noodles A that exceed the portion overflow from above the chute section 25 and return onto the vibrating conveyor, and when the operation of the vibrating conveyor is finished, there is an amount of noodles A on the chute section 25 that substantially corresponds to the unit bundle amount. remain.

The remaining dams A are then separated from the chute part 25 by the separation of the dam member 41 from the chute part 25 due to the swinging of the swing holder 43 via the air cylinder 47 after each operation of the vibrating conveyor is stopped.
5 and head towards the binding machine.

In addition, when operating this lift block 31,
The noodle part forming the next leading edge, i.e. the noodle part to be transferred above the inclined part 35 of the lift block 31 during the next actuation of the vibrating conveyor, is lifted by the pocket 37 and aligned. Preparations are made for sorting the noodles.

Other features of this idea include using a mechanical or electrical lifting mechanism to raise and lower the lift block.
It can be implemented in various forms.

[Effect of idea]

According to the noodles bundling device of this invention, since the noodles are transported by a vibrating conveyor, they are substantially lined up back and forth and can be moved back and forth, so that the noodles can be sorted (bundled). There is no risk that the noodles will break when the vertical wall of the lift block pushes into the noodles.

Furthermore, according to this device, the unit bundle amount of the noodles introduced into the pocket formed by the chute part of the chute block and the damming member through the lift block is generated by the vibration of the chute block integrated with the vibration conveyor. Since the excess amount exceeding the specified pocket capacity overflows, a uniform amount of bundled items can be obtained.
