Description

本発明は、搬入された物品を効率よくほぼ所定の割合で分けて排出するための技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a technique for efficiently separating and discharging carried-in articles at a substantially predetermined ratio.

一般的に、食品の製造ラインでは、計量装置等によって規定重量にまとめられた物品を、販売用の容器（トレーなど）に収容し、これを包装して出荷している。   Generally, in a food production line, articles gathered to a specified weight by a weighing device or the like are stored in a container (such as a tray) for sale, and packaged for shipment.

この物品としては、個々に重量のバラツキのある物品が規定重量分ひとまとめにされたものがあり、これを組合せ計量装置でひとまとめにしている場合が多い。   As this article, there is an article in which individual weight variations are grouped together by a specified weight, and these are often grouped together by a combination weighing device.

ところが近年では、総重量が規定された１つの製品の容器として、切り離し可能な複数の物品収容部が近接して設けられ、それらの物品収容部にほぼ均等に物品を分けて収容させることが必要なものが出てきている。   However, in recent years, as a single product container with a defined total weight, it is necessary to provide a plurality of detachable article storage portions close to each other, and to divide and store the articles almost equally in those article storage portions. Something is coming out.

このような一つの製品の容器に設けられた複数（Ｍとする）の物品収容部に、規定重量のほぼ１／Ｍの物品を供給する方法としては、Ｍ台の組合せ計量装置でそれぞれ規定重量の１／Ｍの物品をひとまとめにして、それぞれを一つの製品容器のＭ個の物品収容部へ供給する方法や、単一の組合せ計量装置で規定重量の１／Ｍの物品をひとまとめにして、製品容器の一つの物品収容部へ供給するという動作をＭ回繰り返して、物品収容部の全てに供給する方法が考えられる。   As a method of supplying an article having a weight of approximately 1 / M to a plurality (M) of article storage portions provided in such a single product container, each of the M combination weighing devices is provided with a specified weight. 1 / M items together and supply each of them to M article storage parts of one product container, or a single combination weighing device collectively 1 / M items of a specified weight, A method is conceivable in which the operation of supplying one product container of the product container is repeated M times to supply all the product containers.

なお、規定量の物品をひとまとめにして排出する組合せ計量装置の構成例は、次の特許文献１に開示されている。   A configuration example of a combination weighing device that discharges a predetermined amount of articles collectively is disclosed in the following Patent Document 1.

特開２００２−１０７２１０号公報JP 2002-107210 A

しかしながら、前者の方法では、高価な組合せ計量装置を複数台設置する必要があり、しかも組合せ計量装置は、複数の計量器に収容された物品を計量し、組合せ重量が所望範囲と組合せの物品を排出集合する構造であるから、組合せ精度が要求される場合には、計量器の数も減らすことができないので、機構的に小型化に限界があり、これを複数台設置し、それぞれの組合せ計量装置から一つの容器の各物品収容部へ物品を供給するためには、排出物品を容器の物品収容部まで案内するための経路が長くなり、その分、充填に要する時間がかかり、複数台設けた効果が十分得られない。   However, in the former method, it is necessary to install a plurality of expensive combination weighing devices, and the combination weighing device weighs articles accommodated in a plurality of weighing instruments, and the combination weight is within a desired range and combination. Because it is a structure that collects and collects, the number of measuring instruments cannot be reduced when combination accuracy is required, so there is a limit to downsizing in terms of mechanism. In order to supply articles from the device to each article storage section of one container, the route for guiding discharged articles to the article storage section of the container becomes longer, and it takes time to fill, and multiple units are provided. The effect is not sufficiently obtained.

また、後者の方法でも、複数回の組合せ計量処理を行わないと１つの容器分の物品の充填が完了しないので非効率的である。   The latter method is also inefficient because the filling of articles for one container is not completed unless a combination weighing process is performed a plurality of times.

なお、上記の両方法の組合せも考えられる。例えばＭ＝４の場合、２台の組合せ計量装置で規定重量の１／４の物品をそれぞれ生成して２つの物品収容部に充填するという動作を２回行う方法であるが、この場合であっても充填のための経路が長くなることと、組合せ計量処理を２回行うための時間が必要となり、効率的な充填ができない。   A combination of the above two methods is also conceivable. For example, when M = 4, this is a method of performing twice the operation of generating articles each having a quarter of the specified weight with two combination weighing devices and filling the two article storage units. However, a long path for filling and a time for performing the combination weighing process twice are required, and efficient filling is not possible.

本発明は、上記問題を解決して、１つの製品容器内に複数設けられた物品収容部に、計量済みの物品を効率よく所定の割合に分割して充填できる物品分割充填装置を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention solves the above-described problems and provides an article division and filling device that can efficiently divide and fill a weighed article into a predetermined ratio in a plurality of article storage units provided in one product container. It is an object.

以下、図面に基づいて本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
図１は本発明を適用した物品分割充填装置２０の要部の構成図、図２は、その分解斜視図、図３は図１をＡからみた断面図である。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a main part of an article division filling apparatus 20 to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of FIG.

これらの図において、物品分割充填装置２０は、組合せ計量装置（図示せず）の集合装置（集合シュートや集合コンベア）から排出された規定量の物品を受け、それを所定の割合（ここでは４等分とする）に分割して、下方を例えば矢印Ｂ方向にステップ搬送されるトレー（製品容器）１の４つの物品収容部１ａ〜１ｄにそれぞれ排出充填するものである。   In these drawings, the article dividing and filling apparatus 20 receives a prescribed amount of articles discharged from a collecting apparatus (collecting chute or collecting conveyor) of a combination weighing apparatus (not shown), and supplies it to a predetermined ratio (here 4). The four article storage portions 1a to 1d of the tray (product container) 1 that is step-conveyed in the direction of arrow B, for example, are discharged and filled.

物品分割充填装置２０は、例えば図３に示す支持体２１によって、トレー１の搬送ラインの上方に主要の機構部を支持する。この支持体２１の構造は任意であるが、少なくともこの物品分割充填装置２０を床面から所定の高さの位置に支持するための脚部２１ａ、筒体支持部２１ｂ、均し可動体支持部２１ｃ、モータ支持部２１ｄ、シャッタ支持部２１ｅおよび分割シュート支持部２１ｆを有している。   The article dividing and filling apparatus 20 supports a main mechanism portion above the conveyance line of the tray 1 by, for example, a support body 21 shown in FIG. The structure of the support 21 is arbitrary, but at least a leg 21a, a cylindrical support 21b, and a leveling movable support for supporting the article split filling device 20 at a predetermined height from the floor. 21c, a motor support portion 21d, a shutter support portion 21e, and a divided chute support portion 21f.

物品分割充填装置２０には、組合せ計量装置から排出された物品を受けるための筒体３０が設けられている。   The article division filling device 20 is provided with a cylinder 30 for receiving the articles discharged from the combination weighing device.

筒体３０は、上下が開口された円筒状に形成され、その外周部が前記した筒体支持部２１ａに支持されている。   The cylindrical body 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose upper and lower sides are opened, and an outer peripheral portion thereof is supported by the cylindrical body supporting portion 21a.

この筒体２０の下部には、シャッタ装置３５が形成されている。
シャッタ装置３５は、二つの矩形のシャッタ板３６、３７と、それを水平移動させるエアシリンダのような駆動装置３８、３９とからなり、二つのシャッタ板３６、３７の前端同士が筒体３０の下部開口の中心を通る線と重なる位置で当接するまで駆動装置３８、３９に押され水平移動して筒体３０の下部開口を閉じ、筒体３０の上部開口から搬入された物品を筒体３０内に停留させる。 A shutter device 35 is formed below the cylindrical body 20.
The shutter device 35 includes two rectangular shutter plates 36 and 37 and driving devices 38 and 39 such as air cylinders that horizontally move the shutter plates 36 and 37, and the front ends of the two shutter plates 36 and 37 are formed of the cylindrical body 30. It is pushed by the drive devices 38 and 39 until it comes into contact with a line that passes through the line passing through the center of the lower opening, horizontally moves to close the lower opening of the cylinder 30, and articles carried in from the upper opening of the cylinder 30 are loaded into the cylinder 30. Stop inside.

また、駆動装置３８、３９によって互いに離間する方向に引かれ水平移動して筒体３０の下部開口を開き、筒体３０の内部に停留している物品を下部開口から落下排出させる。   Moreover, it pulls in the direction which mutually spaces apart by the drive devices 38 and 39, moves horizontally, opens the lower opening of the cylinder 30, and the articles | goods which hold | maintained inside the cylinder 30 fall and discharge from the lower opening.

前記したシャッタ支持部２１ｅは、二つのシャッタ板３６、３７の水平方向の移動をガイドするとともに、二つの駆動装置３８、３９を支持している。   The shutter support portion 21e described above guides the movement of the two shutter plates 36 and 37 in the horizontal direction and supports the two driving devices 38 and 39.

筒体３０の上方には、筒体３０に搬入して停留している物品が排出されるまでの間に、その物品を平坦化する均し装置４０が設けられている。   Above the cylinder 30, a leveling device 40 is provided for flattening the article that has been loaded into the cylinder 30 and discharged.

均し装置４０は、均し可動体４１と駆動装置４７とにより構成されている。均し可動体４１は、筒体３０と同心の従動リング４２と、外径が筒体３０の内径より僅かに小さい円筒形に形成され、その上縁から側方へ延びたフランジ４３ａが従動リング４２に固定された均し板体支持体４３と、この均し板支持体４３の内壁の所定高さ位置に取り付けられ中心方向に延びた複数の均し板４５とによって構成されている。   The leveling device 40 includes a leveling movable body 41 and a drive device 47. The leveling movable body 41 has a driven ring 42 concentric with the cylindrical body 30, a cylindrical shape whose outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 30, and a flange 43a extending laterally from the upper edge thereof. A leveling plate support 43 fixed to 42 and a plurality of leveling plates 45 attached to a predetermined height position of the inner wall of the leveling plate support 43 and extending in the center direction.

従動リング４２は、前記した均し可動体支持部２１ｃによって筒体３０の中心軸を中心に回転できるように支持されており、その従動リング４２の外周は、モータ支持部２１ｄに支持された駆動装置４７のモータ４８に取り付けられた駆動プーリ４９の外周と接しており、モータ４８が駆動されると、その回転力が駆動プーリ４９から従動リング４２に伝達されて、均し可動体４１全体が筒体３０の中心軸を中心にして回転する。   The driven ring 42 is supported by the above-described leveling movable body support portion 21c so as to be rotatable about the central axis of the cylindrical body 30, and the outer periphery of the driven ring 42 is driven by the motor support portion 21d. When the motor 48 is driven, the rotational force is transmitted from the drive pulley 49 to the driven ring 42, and the entire leveling movable body 41 is in contact with the outer periphery of the drive pulley 49 attached to the motor 48 of the device 47. It rotates around the central axis of the cylinder 30.

この回転に伴い、複数の均し板４５が所定の高さ位置で回転して筒体３０内に収容された物品と接触して移動させて物品の表層側の凹凸を無くして平坦にする。   Along with this rotation, the plurality of leveling plates 45 are rotated at a predetermined height and moved in contact with the article accommodated in the cylindrical body 30 so as to eliminate the irregularities on the surface layer side of the article and make it flat.

なお、均し板４５は、下方に延びた複数の歯４５ａが所定間隔で設けられた櫛歯型としているが、その形状は任意であり、例えばブラシ型等であってもよい。また、その高さ位置（シャッタからの下縁の高さ）は、収容される物品の容量（体積）を筒体３０の下部開口の面積で除算して得られる平均高さに合わせて可変できるようになっている。   The leveling plate 45 has a comb-teeth shape in which a plurality of downwardly extending teeth 45a are provided at predetermined intervals. However, the shape is arbitrary, and may be, for example, a brush shape. Further, the height position (the height of the lower edge from the shutter) can be varied in accordance with the average height obtained by dividing the capacity (volume) of the accommodated article by the area of the lower opening of the cylindrical body 30. It is like that.

シャッタ装置３５の下方には、分割シュート５０が配置されている。分割シュート５０は、均し装置４０によって平坦化されて筒体３０の下部開口から落下排出される物品を、筒体３０の下部開口を所定の割合で複数（この場合４等分）に分割する線（この場合開口中心で十字に直交する線）に沿った上縁で分離させる分離板５１〜５４を含み、それらの分離板５１〜５４の上縁で分離された各物品を、分離板５１〜５４で仕切られた複数の排出経路に案内し、それぞれ異なる排出口５０ａ〜５０ｄから排出させる。各排出口５０ａ〜５０ｄは、トレー１の各物品収容部１ａ〜１ｄにそれぞれ対応した位置に設けられている。   A division chute 50 is disposed below the shutter device 35. The division chute 50 divides the article flattened by the leveling device 40 and dropped and discharged from the lower opening of the cylinder 30 into a plurality (in this case, four equal parts) of the lower opening of the cylinder 30 at a predetermined ratio. Separation plates 51 to 54 that are separated at the upper edge along a line (in this case, a line orthogonal to the cross at the center of the opening), and each article separated at the upper edge of the separation plates 51 to 54 is separated into the separation plate 51. Are guided to a plurality of discharge paths partitioned by ~ 54, and discharged from different discharge ports 50a to 50d, respectively. The discharge ports 50a to 50d are provided at positions corresponding to the article storage portions 1a to 1d of the tray 1, respectively.

この分割シュート５０の上縁には側方に延びたフランジ５９が設けられており、このフランジ５９部分が前記した分割シュート支持部２１ｆに支持されている。   A flange 59 extending laterally is provided on the upper edge of the divided chute 50, and this flange 59 portion is supported by the divided chute support portion 21f described above.

以上の構成を有する物品分割充填装置２０に対して、図４のように上方から規定重量の物品Ｗが投入されると、図示しない制御装置の制御によって回転駆動されるモータ４８に従動して均し板４５が回転し、その均し板４５の作用により、投入された物品Ｗの上層の凹凸がなくなり、図５のように平坦化される。   When an article W having a specified weight is inserted from above into the article split and filling apparatus 20 having the above configuration as shown in FIG. 4, it is driven by a motor 48 that is rotationally driven by the control of a control apparatus (not shown). The upper plate 45 rotates, and the smoothing plate 45 causes the upper layer of the loaded article W to have no irregularities and is flattened as shown in FIG.

そして、この平坦化が終わると、シャッタ装置３５の駆動装置３８、３９が、前記制御装置により引っ張り方向に駆動され、図６のようにシャッタ板３６、３７が開いて、平坦化された物品Ｗ′が下方へ落下する。   When this flattening is completed, the driving devices 38 and 39 of the shutter device 35 are driven in the pulling direction by the control device, and the shutter plates 36 and 37 are opened as shown in FIG. 'Falls down.

このとき、シャッタ板３６、３７が開く直前の物品Ｗ′は図７の（ａ）のように、筒体の下側開口をほぼ均等に覆うように収容されており、シャッタ３６、３７が開いて、下方に落下して分割シュート５０の４つの分離板５１〜５４の上縁に達すると、そのエッジと物品の自重によって図７の（ｂ）のように、分離板５１〜５４の上縁で切断されるようにしてほぼ等しい量の物品Ｗ１〜Ｗ４に分離され、その分離された各物品Ｗ１〜Ｗ４が、分離板５１〜５４で仕切られた各排出経路に案内されてそれぞれ異なる排出口５０ａ〜５０ｄから排出される。   At this time, as shown in FIG. 7A, the article W ′ immediately before the shutter plates 36 and 37 are opened is accommodated so as to almost uniformly cover the lower openings of the cylinders, and the shutters 36 and 37 are opened. Then, when falling and reaching the upper edges of the four separation plates 51 to 54 of the divided chute 50, the upper edges of the separation plates 51 to 54 are caused by the weight of the edges and the articles as shown in FIG. Are separated into substantially equal amounts of articles W1 to W4, and the separated articles W1 to W4 are guided to the respective discharge paths partitioned by the separation plates 51 to 54, and are different from each other. It is discharged from 50a to 50d.

分割シュート５０の下方には、その排出口５０ａ〜５０ｄと各物品収容部１ａ〜１ｄの位置が一致する状態でトレー１が停止しており、各排出口５０ａ〜５０ｄから排出された物品Ｗ１〜Ｗ４が、図８のように、各物品収容部１ａ〜１ｄ内に収容される。   Below the split chute 50, the tray 1 is stopped in a state where the outlets 50a to 50d and the positions of the article storage portions 1a to 1d coincide with each other, and the articles W1 to W1 discharged from the outlets 50a to 50d. W4 is accommodated in each article accommodating part 1a-1d like FIG.

なお、この間にもシャッタ板３６、３７は閉じて、次の物品の受け入れを可能にしている。   During this time, the shutter plates 36 and 37 are closed so that the next article can be received.

以下、同様の動作が繰り返されて、組合せ計量装置等で規定量ひとまとめにされた物品が投入されると、それが４等分されてトレー１の各物品収容部１ａ〜１ｄ内に収容される。   Thereafter, the same operation is repeated, and when articles of a predetermined amount are put together by a combination weighing device or the like, it is divided into four equal parts and accommodated in the article accommodating portions 1a to 1d of the tray 1. .

このように実施形態の物品分割充填装置２０では、シャッタ板３６、３７で下部開口が閉じられた筒体３０内の物品を均し装置４０で平坦化してからシャッタ板３６、３７を開いて筒体３０の下部開口から落下排出させるとともに、その排出物品を、筒体３０の下部開口を所定の割合で複数に分割する線に沿った上縁の分離板５１〜５４により分離し、その分離板５１〜５４で仕切られた排出経路に案内し、それぞれ異なる排出口５０ａ〜５０ｄから排出させるようにしている。   As described above, in the article split and filling device 20 according to the embodiment, the articles in the cylinder 30 whose lower opening is closed by the shutter plates 36 and 37 are leveled by the leveling device 40, and then the shutter plates 36 and 37 are opened and the cylinder is opened. While dropping and discharging from the lower opening of the body 30, the discharged article is separated by upper edge separation plates 51 to 54 along a line dividing the lower opening of the cylindrical body 30 into a plurality at a predetermined ratio, and the separation plate They are guided to the discharge paths partitioned by 51 to 54 and discharged from different discharge ports 50a to 50d.

このため、搬入された物品をほぼ所定の割合で分割してそれぞれの排出口から排出させることができ、前記したような一つのトレー１（製品容器）に複数の物品収容部１ａ〜１ｄが設けられたものに対して、低コストに且つ効率的に物品の分割充填を行うことができる。   For this reason, the articles | goods carried in can be divided | segmented by the substantially predetermined | prescribed ratio, and can be discharged | emitted from each discharge port, and several articles | goods accommodating parts 1a-1d are provided in one tray 1 (product container) as mentioned above. The product can be divided and filled at low cost and efficiently.

前記実施形態では、分割シュート５０の分離板５１〜５４の上縁が、シャッタ板３６、３７の下方にあったが、例えば物品Ｗがからみやすい場合には、均し装置４０の均し板４５によって物品の凸部を移動させようとしたときにその下部も引っ張られて移動してしまい、十分な平坦化ができない場合がある。   In the above embodiment, the upper edges of the separation plates 51 to 54 of the division chute 50 are below the shutter plates 36 and 37. For example, when the article W is easily entangled, the leveling plate 45 of the leveling device 40 is used. Therefore, when the convex portion of the article is moved, the lower portion thereof is also pulled and moved, and sufficient flattening may not be achieved.

このような場合には、図９の（ａ）に示す分離板５１〜５４のようにその上縁を高くして、図９の（ｂ）のようにシャッタ板３６、３７が閉じた状態で、その上面から突出させることで解消できる。   In such a case, the upper edges of the separation plates 51 to 54 shown in FIG. 9A are raised, and the shutter plates 36 and 37 are closed as shown in FIG. 9B. It can be solved by protruding from the upper surface.

即ち、図１０の（ａ）のように、均し板４５に押された物品Ｗａが分離板５１の上縁を通過するときに、その下層の物品Ｗｂも引っ張られて移動しようとするが、その移動は突出した分離板５１により規制されて、引き離され上層の物品Ｗａのみが分離板５１の上縁を通過して凹部を埋める。このため、図１０の（ｂ）のように物品を平坦にすることができる。なお、他の分離板５２〜５４の位置でも同様の作用がある。   That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the article Wa pushed by the leveling plate 45 passes through the upper edge of the separation plate 51, the article Wb in the lower layer is also pulled to move. The movement is regulated by the protruding separation plate 51, and only the upper article Wa is pulled away and passes through the upper edge of the separation plate 51 to fill the recess. For this reason, the article can be flattened as shown in FIG. It should be noted that the same effect is obtained at the positions of the other separation plates 52 to 54.

また、この状態で物品に対して下方から各分離板５１〜５４が食い込んでいるので、図１０の（ｃ）のように、シャッタ板３６、３７が開いたときに、物品がこの各分離板５１の位置で容易に分離し、物品の分割排出を確実に行うことができる。なお、この場合で、前記同様に２枚のシャッタ板３６、３７で開閉するためには、図示しているように、シャッタ板３６、３７の移動方向に延びた分離板５２、５４を突出させるためのスリット３６ａ、３７ａを設ければよい。   Further, in this state, since each separation plate 51 to 54 bites into the article from below, when the shutter plates 36 and 37 are opened as shown in FIG. It can be easily separated at position 51 and the articles can be divided and discharged reliably. In this case, in order to open and close with the two shutter plates 36 and 37 as described above, the separation plates 52 and 54 extending in the moving direction of the shutter plates 36 and 37 are projected as shown in the figure. Slits 36a and 37a may be provided.

また、このスリット３６ａ、３７ａの位置でシャッタ板３６、３７を２分割して、４枚のシャッタ板で開閉することもできる。   Further, the shutter plates 36 and 37 can be divided into two at the positions of the slits 36a and 37a and can be opened and closed by four shutter plates.

上記した物品分割充填装置２０は、投入された物品を４等分していたが、図１１に示すように、内部を一枚の分離板５１で仕切り、上方から投入された物品をこの分離板５１で２等分して排出口５０ａ、５０ｂから排出する構造であってもよい。   The above-described article dividing and filling apparatus 20 divides the inputted article into four equal parts, but as shown in FIG. 11, the inside is partitioned by a single separating plate 51 and the article introduced from above is separated into the separating plate. 51 may be divided into two equal parts and discharged from the discharge ports 50a and 50b.

また、例えば図１２に開いた状態、図１３に閉じた状態を示しているように、筒体３０の下側開口を６等分する放射状の線に沿った上縁を有する６枚の分離板６１〜６６を持ち、これらの分離板６１〜６６で６分割した物品を、分離板６１〜６６で仕切られた排出経路を経てぞれぞれの排出口（図示せず）から排出させる分割シュート６０も実現できる。なお、ここでは、先端が１２０度の角度をもつ３枚のシャッタ板７１〜７３を図示しない駆動装置によって水平方向にスライドさせて筒体３０の下側開口を開閉しており、前記同様に、シャッタ板の上面より高い位置に分離板６１〜６６の上縁が突出するように、各シャッタ板７１〜７３にはスリット７１ａ〜７３ａが設けられている。   Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 12 in the opened state and in the closed state in FIG. 13, six separation plates having upper edges along radial lines that divide the lower opening of the cylindrical body 30 into six equal parts. Divided chutes that have 61 to 66 and are divided into six parts by these separation plates 61 to 66 are discharged from respective discharge ports (not shown) through discharge paths partitioned by the separation plates 61 to 66. 60 can also be realized. Here, the lower opening of the cylindrical body 30 is opened and closed by sliding three shutter plates 71 to 73 having an angle of 120 degrees at the front end in a horizontal direction by a driving device (not shown). The shutter plates 71 to 73 are provided with slits 71 a to 73 a so that the upper edges of the separation plates 61 to 66 protrude above the upper surface of the shutter plate.

ただし、分離板６１〜６６をシャッタ板の下に位置させる場合には、前記実施形態のように２枚のシャッタ板で開閉することも可能であり、一枚の大きなシャッタ板で筒体３０の下側開口を開閉してもよい。   However, when the separation plates 61 to 66 are positioned below the shutter plate, it can be opened and closed by two shutter plates as in the above-described embodiment, and the cylindrical body 30 is formed by one large shutter plate. The lower opening may be opened and closed.

また、いずれの場合でも、シャッタ板を水平方向に移動して筒体３０の下部開口を開閉するようにしているものでは、筒体３０と分割シュート５０、６０との間隔を狭めることができ、分解、組立も容易で清掃しやすくなる。   In any case, in the case where the shutter plate is moved in the horizontal direction to open and close the lower opening of the cylindrical body 30, the interval between the cylindrical body 30 and the divided chutes 50 and 60 can be reduced. Disassembly and assembly are easy and easy to clean.

なお、上記実施例では、水平移動型のシャッタを用いていたが、一端側を軸にして回動するシャッタを用いてもよい。また、均し装置の構造も上記実施例に限定されず、他の方式も採用できる。例えば振動器で筒体を振動させて物品を均してもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the horizontal movement type shutter is used. However, a shutter that rotates around one end side may be used. Further, the structure of the leveling device is not limited to the above embodiment, and other methods can be adopted. For example, the cylinder may be vibrated with a vibrator to level the article.

また、上記した物品分割充填装置２０は、単体での使用だけでなく、組合せ計量装置の集合装置の下部に着脱自在に取け付けられる構造としてもよい。   Moreover, the above-described article dividing and filling apparatus 20 may be configured not only to be used alone but also to be detachably attached to the lower part of the assembly apparatus of the combination weighing apparatus.
