傾動手段２０は、図２に示すように、収容箱搬入部Ａから移動された収容箱１２を載置する傾動板３６と、傾動板３６を回転軸３８のまわりに回転させて収容箱１２を回転させるシリンダ４０と、回転した収容箱１２を支持する支持部材４２とから構成されている。傾動板３６は、傾斜角度θが０°の状態から、シリンダ４０のピストン４４を押し出した時に、傾斜角度θが４５°となるように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the tilting means 20 includes a tilting plate 36 on which the storage box 12 moved from the storage box carrying-in part A is placed, and the tilting plate 36 is rotated around a rotation shaft 38 to move the storage box 12. It is comprised from the cylinder 40 to rotate and the supporting member 42 which supports the rotated storage box 12. As shown in FIG. The tilting plate 36 is configured such that when the piston 44 of the cylinder 40 is pushed out from a state where the tilt angle θ is 0 °, the tilt angle θ is 45 °.

第二移動手段２２は、図１及び図２に示すように、収容箱１２を押圧する押圧部材４６と、押圧部材４６をＸ軸方向に往復運動させるロッドレスシリンダ４８とから構成され、傾動部Ｂにおいて傾斜角度４５°に傾斜させた収容箱１２を、４５°に傾斜した状態で、第一投入部Ｃに設けた第一載置台５０上へ移動して載置することができる。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second moving means 22 includes a pressing member 46 that presses the storage box 12 and a rodless cylinder 48 that reciprocates the pressing member 46 in the X-axis direction. The storage box 12 inclined at an inclination angle of 45 ° in B can be moved and placed on the first placement table 50 provided in the first input portion C in a state of being inclined at 45 °.

第一角度調節手段２４は、図３に示すように、基台５２上に第一計量器５４を介して設けたフレーム５６の一端にリンク５８の下端及びシリンダ６０の下端を自由回転可能にピン結合し、フレーム５６の他端にシリンダ６２の下端を自由回転可能にピン結合し、収容箱１２を載置するＬ字形の第一載置台５０にリンク５８の上端及びシリンダ６０のピストン６１を自由回転可能にピン結合して第一載置台５０を支持し、リンク５８の上端付近にシリンダ６２のピストン６３を自由回転可能にピン結合することにより構成されている。第一載置台５０に載置した収容箱１２の傾斜角度θは、シリンダ６０を作動させることによっても、シリンダ６２を作動させることによっても、又は、シリンダ６０及び６２を作動させることによっても、４５°〜９０°の範囲で調節できる。また、フレーム５６、リンク５８、シリンダ６０及び第一載置台５０は４節限定連鎖を構成するが、リンク５８のフレーム５６に対する回転軸及びシリンダ６０のフレーム５６に対する回転軸は回転軸６６として一致することにより、シリンダ６２を作動させた時に回転軸６６を回転中心として第一載置台５０に載置した収容箱１２を確実に回転させることができる。また、第一計量器５４は、その中心線ＣＬ１上に収容箱１２内の複数の青果物１４の重心が位置する又は近接するように設けられており、正確な計量を行うことができる。   As shown in FIG. 3, the first angle adjusting means 24 is a pin that allows the lower end of the link 58 and the lower end of the cylinder 60 to freely rotate at one end of a frame 56 provided on the base 52 via a first measuring instrument 54. The lower end of the cylinder 62 is connected to the other end of the frame 56 so as to be freely rotatable, and the upper end of the link 58 and the piston 61 of the cylinder 60 are freely attached to the L-shaped first mounting table 50 on which the storage box 12 is mounted. The first mounting base 50 is supported by being rotatably connected to a pin, and the piston 63 of the cylinder 62 is connected to the vicinity of the upper end of the link 58 so as to be freely rotatable. The inclination angle θ of the storage box 12 mounted on the first mounting table 50 is 45 by operating the cylinder 60, operating the cylinder 62, or operating the cylinders 60 and 62. It can be adjusted in the range of ° to 90 °. The frame 56, the link 58, the cylinder 60, and the first mounting table 50 constitute a four-node limited chain, but the rotation axis of the link 58 with respect to the frame 56 and the rotation axis of the cylinder 60 with respect to the frame 56 coincide with each other as the rotation axis 66. Thus, when the cylinder 62 is operated, the storage box 12 placed on the first placement table 50 can be reliably rotated with the rotation shaft 66 as the rotation center. Moreover, the 1st weighing | measuring device 54 is provided so that the gravity center of the some fruit and vegetables 14 in the storage box 12 may be located in the centerline CL1, or it adjoins, and can perform exact measurement.

第一投入手段２６は、図１及び図３に示すように、青果物１４をＹ軸負方向に搬送し、搬送方向先端が第一投入部Ｃ上に位置するベルトコンベア６８から構成されている。ベルトコンベア６８上への青果物１４の供給は、青果物１４をＸ軸正方向に搬送する第一供給コンベア７０によって行われる。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first input unit 26 includes a belt conveyor 68 that conveys the fruits and vegetables 14 in the negative Y-axis direction and has a conveyance direction front end positioned on the first input unit C. The supply of the fruits and vegetables 14 onto the belt conveyor 68 is performed by a first supply conveyor 70 that conveys the fruits and vegetables 14 in the positive X-axis direction.

第二角度調節手段２８は、図４に示すように、基台７２上に固定された第二計量器７４の一端にシリンダ７５の上端を自由回転可能にピン結合し、第二計量器７４の他端及びシリンダ７５のピストン７７に、収容箱１２を載置するＬ字形の第二載置台７６を自由回転可能にピン結合することにより構成されている。第二載置台７６に載置した収容箱１２の傾斜角度θは、シリンダ７５を作動させることにより、４５°〜９０°の範囲で調節できる。第二計量器７４の一端にシリンダ７５の上端を自由回転可能にピン結合することにより、第二載置台７６に載置した収容箱１２を極力第二計量器７４に接近させることができ、計量対象と第二計量器７４とを極力接近させて第二計量器７４の測定精度を向上させることができる。第二計量器７４は第一計量器５４よりも高い計量精度を要求されるため、第二角度調節手段２８を第一角度調節手段２４よりもコンパクトに構成して、第二載置台７６に載置した収容箱１２を極力第二計量器７４に接近させている。また、第二計量器７２は、その中心線ＣＬ２上に収容箱１２内の複数の青果物１４の重心が位置する又は近接するように設けられており、正確な計量を行うことができる。   As shown in FIG. 4, the second angle adjusting means 28 is connected to one end of the second measuring instrument 74 fixed on the base 72 so that the upper end of the cylinder 75 can be freely rotated. An L-shaped second mounting table 76 for mounting the storage box 12 is pin-coupled to the other end and the piston 77 of the cylinder 75 so as to be freely rotatable. The inclination angle θ of the storage box 12 mounted on the second mounting table 76 can be adjusted in the range of 45 ° to 90 ° by operating the cylinder 75. By connecting the upper end of the cylinder 75 to one end of the second measuring instrument 74 so as to be freely rotatable, the storage box 12 mounted on the second mounting table 76 can be brought closer to the second measuring instrument 74 as much as possible. The measurement accuracy of the second measuring instrument 74 can be improved by bringing the object and the second measuring instrument 74 as close as possible. Since the second weighing device 74 is required to have higher weighing accuracy than the first weighing device 54, the second angle adjusting means 28 is configured more compactly than the first angle adjusting means 24 and is mounted on the second mounting table 76. The placed storage box 12 is brought as close to the second measuring instrument 74 as possible. Moreover, the 2nd measuring device 72 is provided so that the gravity center of the some fruits and vegetables 14 in the storage box 12 may be located on or close to the center line CL2, and can perform accurate measurement.

第二投入手段３０は、図１及び図４に示すように、青果物１４をＹ軸負方向に搬送し、搬送方向先端が第二投入部Ｄ上に位置するローラーコンベア７８から構成されている。ローラーコンベア７８が有する複数のローラー８０は、図１に示す中心線ＣＬ３へいくに従って低くなるように傾斜して設けられており、ローラーコンベア７８によって搬送する青果物１４が中心線ＣＬ３上へ集中するように構成されている。ローラーコンベア７８上への青果物１４の供給は、青果物１４をＸ軸正方向に搬送する第二供給コンベア８２によって行われる。第一供給コンベア７０及び第二供給コンベア８２は、図１において平面視平行に配置されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the second input unit 30 includes a roller conveyor 78 that conveys the fruits and vegetables 14 in the negative Y-axis direction and whose front end in the conveyance direction is positioned on the second input unit D. The plurality of rollers 80 included in the roller conveyor 78 are provided so as to be lowered toward the center line CL3 shown in FIG. 1 so that the fruits and vegetables 14 conveyed by the roller conveyor 78 are concentrated on the center line CL3. It is configured. The supply of the fruits and vegetables 14 onto the roller conveyor 78 is performed by a second supply conveyor 82 that conveys the fruits and vegetables 14 in the positive X-axis direction. The first supply conveyor 70 and the second supply conveyor 82 are arranged in parallel in plan view in FIG.

このような構成の自動計量箱詰装置１０の作用を以下に図面に基づいて説明することにより、自動計量箱詰装置１０を用いた本発明の自動計量箱詰方法についても説明する。   The operation of the automatic weighing boxing apparatus 10 having such a configuration will be described below with reference to the drawings, and the automatic weighing boxing method of the present invention using the automatic weighing boxing apparatus 10 will also be described.

まず、図１に示すように、馬鈴薯等の青果物１４が、第一供給コンベア７０及び第二供給コンベア８２に載置され、Ｘ軸正方向に搬送される。第一供給コンベア７０上の青果物１４は、第一投入部Ｃにおいて第一投入手段２６により収容箱１２に大量投入されるため、第一供給コンベア７０には、第二供給コンベア８２よりも多量の青果物１４が載置される。第二供給コンベア８２上の青果物１４は、第一投入部Ｄにおいて収容箱１２の箱詰重量調整のために第二投入手段３０により収容箱１２に少量投入されるため、第二供給コンベア８２には、第一供給コンベア７０よりも少量の青果物１４が載置される。   First, as shown in FIG. 1, the fruits and vegetables 14 such as potatoes are placed on the first supply conveyor 70 and the second supply conveyor 82, and are conveyed in the positive direction of the X axis. Since the fruits and vegetables 14 on the first supply conveyor 70 are charged in a large amount into the storage box 12 by the first input means 26 in the first input part C, the first supply conveyor 70 has a larger amount than the second supply conveyor 82. The fruits and vegetables 14 are placed. The fruits and vegetables 14 on the second supply conveyor 82 are introduced into the storage box 12 in a small amount by the second input means 30 in order to adjust the packing weight of the storage box 12 in the first input part D. A smaller amount of fruits and vegetables 14 is placed than the first supply conveyor 70.

一方、空の収容箱１２が、空箱搬送ライン８４から収容箱搬入部Ａへ搬入され、第一移動手段１８によってＸ軸正方向に傾動部Ｂまで移動させられる。傾動部Ｂにおいては、シリンダ４０が作動させられてピストン４４が傾動板３６を４５°だけ傾動させる。これにより、図２（ｂ）に示すように、傾動板３６に載置された空の収容箱１２の傾斜角度θは４５°となる。   On the other hand, the empty storage box 12 is carried into the storage box carrying-in part A from the empty box transport line 84 and is moved to the tilting part B in the X-axis positive direction by the first moving means 18. In the tilting part B, the cylinder 40 is operated and the piston 44 tilts the tilting plate 36 by 45 °. Thereby, as shown in FIG.2 (b), the inclination | tilt angle (theta) of the empty storage box 12 mounted in the inclination board 36 will be 45 degrees.

次に、第二移動手段２２のロッドレスシリンダ４８が作動させられ、押圧部材４６が、空の収容箱１２を、４５°に傾斜した状態で、Ｘ軸正方向に傾動部Ｂから第一投入部Ｃまで移動させる。   Next, the rodless cylinder 48 of the second moving means 22 is actuated, and the pressing member 46 makes the first insertion from the tilting part B in the positive direction of the X-axis in a state where the empty storage box 12 is inclined at 45 °. Move to part C.

第一投入部Ｃにおいては、Ｌ字形の第一載置台５０が、空の収容箱１２を、４５°に傾斜した状態で受け取る。図５（ａ）は、空の収容箱１２を受け取り、空の収容箱１２の傾斜角度θが４５°の状態を示す。次に、図５（ａ）の状態から、シリンダ６０及びシリンダ６２を作動させて空の収容箱１２を載置した第一載置台５０をＸ軸正方向視において反時計まわりに回転させ、ベルトコンベア６８の先端が、空の収容箱１２の蓋部９０内の下部付近に入り込み、蓋部９０の下部内面９２に接近した状態で止める。その状態で、ベルトコンベア６８から青果物１４を収容箱１２内に投入する。ベルトコンベア６８の先端が、蓋部９０の下部内面９２に接近しているため、青果部１４の落下距離が短くなり、青果物１４の損傷を防止できる。このようにして青果物１４を投入した時の状態を図５（ｂ）に示す。図５（ｂ）において、傾斜角度θは、例えば７６．７°である。   In the first insertion part C, the L-shaped first mounting table 50 receives the empty storage box 12 in a state inclined at 45 °. FIG. 5A shows a state in which the empty storage box 12 is received and the inclination angle θ of the empty storage box 12 is 45 °. Next, from the state of FIG. 5A, the cylinder 60 and the cylinder 62 are actuated to rotate the first mounting table 50 on which the empty storage box 12 is mounted in a counterclockwise direction when viewed in the positive direction of the X-axis. The front end of the conveyor 68 enters the vicinity of the lower part in the lid part 90 of the empty storage box 12 and stops in a state where it approaches the lower inner surface 92 of the lid part 90. In this state, the fruits and vegetables 14 are put into the storage box 12 from the belt conveyor 68. Since the front end of the belt conveyor 68 is close to the lower inner surface 92 of the lid 90, the fall distance of the fruit and vegetable part 14 is shortened, and the fruit and fruit 14 can be prevented from being damaged. FIG. 5 (b) shows the state when the fruits and vegetables 14 are charged in this way. In FIG.5 (b), inclination | tilt angle (theta) is 76.7 degrees, for example.

次に、シリンダ６０及びシリンダ６２を作動させて収容箱１２を載置した第一載置台５０をＸ軸正方向視において時計まわりに回転させ、ベルトコンベア６８の先端が、収容箱１２の蓋部９０内の中心部付近に入り込み、既に投入している青果物１４に接近した状態で止める。その状態で、ベルトコンベア６８から青果物１４を収容箱１２内に更に投入することにより、投入した青果物１４が既に投入している青果物１４上に積み上げられていく。ベルトコンベア６８の先端が、既に投入している青果物１４に接近しているため、青果部１４の落下距離が短くなり、青果物１４の損傷を防止できる。このようにして青果物１４を更に投入した時の状態を図５（ｃ）に示す。図５（ｃ）において、傾斜角度θは、例えば６７°である。   Next, the cylinder 60 and the cylinder 62 are operated to rotate the first mounting table 50 on which the storage box 12 is mounted in the clockwise direction when viewed in the X-axis positive direction, and the front end of the belt conveyor 68 is moved to the lid portion of the storage box 12. Enter the vicinity of the center in 90, and stop in the state of approaching the already-entered fruits and vegetables 14. In this state, when the fruits and vegetables 14 are further thrown into the storage box 12 from the belt conveyor 68, the thrown fruits and vegetables 14 are stacked on the fruits and vegetables 14 that have already been thrown. Since the tip of the belt conveyor 68 is close to the already-entered fruit and vegetable 14, the fall distance of the fruit and vegetable part 14 is shortened and damage to the fruit and vegetable 14 can be prevented. FIG. 5C shows the state when the fruits and vegetables 14 are further added in this way. In FIG.5 (c), inclination | tilt angle (theta) is 67 degrees, for example.

次に、シリンダ６０及びシリンダ６２を作動させて収容箱１２を載置した第一載置台５０を再びＸ軸正方向視において時計まわりに回転させ、ベルトコンベア６８の先端が、収容箱１２の蓋部９０内の中心部より上方付近に入り込み、既に積み上げている青果物１４に接近した状態で止める。その状態で、ベルトコンベア６８から青果物１４を収容箱１２内に更に投入することにより、投入した青果物１４が既に積み上げている青果物１４上に積み上げられていく。ベルトコンベア６８の先端が、既に積み上げている青果物１４に接近しているため、青果部１４の落下距離が短くなり、青果物１４の損傷を防止できる。このようにして青果物１４を更に投入した時の状態を図５（ｄ）に示す。図５（ｄ）において、傾斜角度θは、例えば６０°である。   Next, the cylinder 60 and the cylinder 62 are operated to rotate the first mounting table 50 on which the storage box 12 is mounted again in the clockwise direction in the X-axis positive view, and the front end of the belt conveyor 68 is moved to the cover of the storage box 12. It enters near the upper part from the center part in the part 90, and stops in the state which approached the fruit and vegetables 14 already piled up. In this state, when the fruits and vegetables 14 are further thrown into the storage box 12 from the belt conveyor 68, the thrown fruits and vegetables 14 are stacked on the fruits and vegetables 14 that have already been stacked. Since the tip of the belt conveyor 68 is close to the already stacked fruits and vegetables 14, the fall distance of the fruits and vegetables part 14 is shortened, and damage to the fruits and vegetables 14 can be prevented. FIG. 5D shows the state when the fruits and vegetables 14 are further added in this way. In FIG.5 (d), inclination | tilt angle (theta) is 60 degrees, for example.

このようにして、４５°に傾斜した収容箱１２をＸ軸正方向視において反時計まわりに回転させて傾斜角度θを７６．７°とした後、時計まわりに断続的に回転させながら青果物１４を収容箱１２に投入していく。次に、シリンダ６０及びシリンダ６２を作動させて収容箱１２を載置した第一載置台５０を再び時計まわりに回転させ、傾斜角度θが４５°となった状態で止める。この時、第一計量器７４が収容箱１２内の青果物１４の重量を計量し図示しない制御装置へデータ送信する。収容箱１２は、傾斜角度θが４５°の状態で、第二移動手段２２により第二投入部Ｄに移動させられる。   In this way, after the storage box 12 inclined at 45 ° is rotated counterclockwise in the X-axis positive direction to set the inclination angle θ to 76.7 °, the fruits and vegetables 14 are rotated intermittently clockwise. Is put into the storage box 12. Next, the cylinder 60 and the cylinder 62 are operated to rotate the first mounting table 50 on which the storage box 12 is mounted again in the clockwise direction, and is stopped in a state where the inclination angle θ is 45 °. At this time, the first measuring instrument 74 measures the weight of the fruits and vegetables 14 in the storage box 12 and transmits the data to a control device (not shown). The storage box 12 is moved to the second input part D by the second moving means 22 in a state where the inclination angle θ is 45 °.

第二投入部Ｄにおいては、Ｌ字形の第二載置台７６が、青果物１４が投入された収容箱１２を、４５°に傾斜した状態で受け取る。図６（ａ）は、青果物１４が投入された収容箱１２を受け取り，青果物１４が投入された収容箱１２の傾斜角度θが４５°の状態を示す。次に、図６（ａ）の状態から、シリンダ７５を作動させて収容箱１２を載置した第二載置台７６をＸ軸正方向視において時計まわりに回転させ、例えば図６（ｂ）の状態で止め、第二投入手段３０のローラーコンベア７８から青果物１４を、収容箱１２内の青果物１４の重量が既定の一定重量に達するまで投入する。収容箱１２内の青果物１４の重量を既定の一定重量にするための方法は、第一計量器５４によって計量した重量を既定の一定重量から差し引いて、その差の重量分の青果物１４を第二投入手段３０によって投入し、第二計量器７２によって確認する方法、第一計量器５４が略一定の重量を計量するまで青果物１４を第二投入手段３０によって投入した後、第二計量器７２が既定の一定重量を計量するまで青果物１４を第二投入手段３０によって投入する方法等、特に限定されない。   In the second loading part D, the L-shaped second mounting table 76 receives the storage box 12 loaded with the fruits and vegetables 14 in a state inclined at 45 °. FIG. 6A shows a state in which the storage box 12 into which the fruits and vegetables 14 are put is received and the inclination angle θ of the storage box 12 into which the fruits and vegetables 14 are put is 45 °. Next, from the state of FIG. 6 (a), the cylinder 75 is operated to rotate the second mounting table 76 on which the storage box 12 is mounted in the clockwise direction when viewed in the positive direction of the X axis, for example, as shown in FIG. 6 (b). The state is stopped, and the fruits and vegetables 14 are charged from the roller conveyor 78 of the second charging means 30 until the weight of the fruits and vegetables 14 in the storage box 12 reaches a predetermined constant weight. A method for setting the weight of the fruits and vegetables 14 in the storage box 12 to a predetermined constant weight is obtained by subtracting the weight measured by the first weighing unit 54 from the predetermined constant weight, and the fruits and vegetables 14 corresponding to the difference weight are secondly subtracted. A method of feeding by the feeding means 30 and confirming by the second weighing instrument 72, after the fruit and vegetables 14 are thrown by the second feeding means 30 until the first weighing instrument 54 weighs a substantially constant weight, the second weighing instrument 72 There is no particular limitation such as a method of feeding the fruits and vegetables 14 by the second feeding means 30 until a predetermined constant weight is weighed.

次に、第二投入部Ｄにおいて、シリンダ７５を作動させて第二載置台７６をＸ軸正方向視において時計まわりに回転させ、図６（ｃ）に示すように、収容箱１２の傾斜角度θが０°の状態にする。この時、収容箱１２は、図１に示すように、搬出コンベア８６上に位置し、その後、搬出コンベア８６からメインライン８８へ搬送される。このようにして、収容箱１２への青果物１４の箱詰めが終了する。   Next, in the second input part D, the cylinder 75 is operated to rotate the second mounting table 76 clockwise in the X-axis positive direction view, and as shown in FIG. Let θ be 0 °. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage box 12 is positioned on the carry-out conveyor 86 and then conveyed from the carry-out conveyor 86 to the main line 88. In this way, boxing of the fruits and vegetables 14 into the storage box 12 is completed.

このような自動計量箱詰装置１０及び自動計量箱詰方法によれば、第一投入部Ｃ及び第二投入部Ｄの両方の投入部における青果物１４の収容箱１２への投入時に、収容箱１２の傾斜角度θを調節することにより、収容箱１２に投入する青果物１４の落下距離を極力短くして、青果物１４の損傷を無くすことができる。また、傾動部Ｂから第一投入部Ｃへ、及び第一投入部Ｃから第二投入部Ｄへ、収容箱１２を、傾動板３６、第一載置台５０及び第二載置台７６により４５°に傾斜させた状態で支持して移動させるため、支持用の位置決め装置を設けなくとも複数寸法の収容箱１２に対応できる。また、収容箱１２を４５°に傾斜させた状態から傾斜角度θを調節していくため、無駄な傾動動作を極力少なくできる。また、計量器４８及び５４の２個の計量器を、例えば上述のように用いることにより、計量精度を、従来よりも向上させることができる。   According to such an automatic weighing boxing device 10 and an automatic weighing boxing method, when the fruits and vegetables 14 are put into the storage box 12 in the input parts of both the first input part C and the second input part D, the storage box 12 is stored. By adjusting the inclination angle θ, the fall distance of the fruits and vegetables 14 put into the storage box 12 can be shortened as much as possible, and damage to the fruits and vegetables 14 can be eliminated. Further, the storage box 12 is moved from the tilting part B to the first charging part C and from the first charging part C to the second charging part D by 45 ° by the tilting plate 36, the first mounting table 50 and the second mounting table 76. Therefore, it is possible to cope with the storage box 12 having a plurality of dimensions without providing a support positioning device. Further, since the inclination angle θ is adjusted from the state where the storage box 12 is inclined at 45 °, unnecessary tilting operation can be reduced as much as possible. Further, by using the two measuring instruments 48 and 54 as described above, for example, the measuring accuracy can be improved as compared with the conventional measuring instrument.

エアシリンダー１２６，１３２が、ピストンロッド１２４，１３０をそれぞれのシリンダーケースから突出するよう前進させると、垂下部材１２８及びフレーム５６は基台５２に対してＹ軸正方向に移動する。エアシリンダー１２６，１３２が、ピストンロッド１２４，１３０をそれぞれのシリンダーケースに進入するよう後退させると、垂下部材１２８及びフレーム５６は基台５２に対してＹ軸負方向に移動する。エアシリンダー１２６，１３２が、ピストンロッド１２４，１３０をそれぞれ進退させる行程の総和がフレーム５６の移動できる距離に相当する。   When the air cylinders 126 and 132 advance the piston rods 124 and 130 so as to protrude from the respective cylinder cases, the drooping member 128 and the frame 56 move in the Y axis positive direction with respect to the base 52. When the air cylinders 126 and 132 retract the piston rods 124 and 130 so as to enter the respective cylinder cases, the drooping member 128 and the frame 56 move in the Y-axis negative direction with respect to the base 52. The sum of the strokes in which the air cylinders 126 and 132 cause the piston rods 124 and 130 to advance and retreat corresponds to the distance that the frame 56 can move.

この場合、第二移動手段２２が収容箱１２を収容箱傾動部Ｂから第一投入部Ｃへ移動させる時、又は第二移動手段２２が収容箱１２を第一投入部Ｃから第二投入部Ｄへ移動させる時、図７に示すように、第一角度調節手段２４が収容箱１２を、４５°に傾斜させ、第一投入手段２６が青果物１４を収容箱１２に投入する時、図８に示すように、シリンダ６０及びシリンダ６２を作動させて収容箱１２を載置した第一載置台５０をＸ軸正方向視において時計まわりに回転させるとともに、往復運動機構１００がフレーム５６を基台５２に対してＹ軸正方向に往動させて、第一角度調節手段２４を第一投入手段２６に接近させる。このため、ベルトコンベア６８の先端部６９から青果物１４を収容箱１２に確実に投入できる位置まで、収容箱１２をＹ軸正方向に移動させることができ、青果物１４が収容箱１２の外へ落下するのを防止できる。   In this case, when the second moving means 22 moves the storage box 12 from the storage box tilting part B to the first charging part C, or when the second moving means 22 moves the storage box 12 from the first charging part C to the second charging part. When moving to D, as shown in FIG. 7, when the first angle adjusting means 24 tilts the storage box 12 to 45 ° and the first input means 26 inputs the fruits and vegetables 14 into the storage box 12, FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the cylinder 60 and the cylinder 62 are operated to rotate the first mounting table 50 on which the storage box 12 is mounted in the clockwise direction when viewed in the positive direction of the X axis, and the reciprocating mechanism 100 uses the frame 56 as a base. 52, the first angle adjusting means 24 is moved closer to the first throwing means 26. For this reason, the storage box 12 can be moved in the positive direction of the Y-axis from the front end 69 of the belt conveyor 68 to a position where the fruit and vegetables 14 can be reliably put into the storage box 12, and the fruits and vegetables 14 fall out of the storage box 12. Can be prevented.

往復運動機構１００によるフレーム５６のＹ軸方向における往復運動ストロークＳは、作動させるエアシリンダーとして、エアシリンダー１２６，１３２の両方又はいずれか一方を選択できるように構成することにより、変更可能である。また、往復運動ストロークＳは、エアシリンダー１２６，１３２として、ピストンロッドの進退ストロークの調節可能なエアシリンダー１２６，１３２を使用することによっても、変更可能である。これにより、往復運動ストロークＳを、収容箱１４の寸法に応じて変更できる。収容箱１２の寸法が小さい場合には、往復運動ストロークＳを大きくし、収容箱１２の寸法が大きい場合には、往復運動ストロークＳを小さくすることにより、ベルトコンベア６８の先端部６９から青果物１４を収容箱１２に確実に投入できるように往復運動ストロークを調節して、青果物１４が収容箱１２の外へ落下するのを防止できる。このため、往復運動ストロークＳを調節することにより、複数寸法の収容箱１２に対応できる。   The reciprocating stroke S in the Y-axis direction of the frame 56 by the reciprocating mechanism 100 can be changed by configuring so that either or either of the air cylinders 126 and 132 can be selected as the operating air cylinder. The reciprocating stroke S can also be changed by using the air cylinders 126 and 132 that can adjust the piston rod advance and retreat strokes. Thereby, the reciprocating motion stroke S can be changed according to the dimension of the storage box 14. When the size of the storage box 12 is small, the reciprocating motion stroke S is increased, and when the size of the storage box 12 is large, the reciprocating motion stroke S is decreased, so that the fruits and vegetables 14 are removed from the front end 69 of the belt conveyor 68. Can be prevented from falling out of the storage box 12 by adjusting the reciprocating stroke so that the fruit can be reliably put into the storage box 12. For this reason, by adjusting the reciprocating stroke S, it is possible to deal with the storage box 12 having a plurality of dimensions.

また、往復運動機構１００を、図１０及び図１１に示すように、第一計量器５４に固定された往復運動部材１０１と、往復運動部材１０１に螺入され回動中心軸の周りに回動させられることにより往復運動部材１０１を基台５２に対してＹ軸方向に往復運動させる螺子棒１０３と、を備えて構成してもよい。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the reciprocating mechanism 100 is reciprocated with a reciprocating member 101 fixed to the first measuring instrument 54, and is rotated around the rotation center axis by being screwed into the reciprocating member 101. A screw rod 103 that reciprocates the reciprocating member 101 in the Y-axis direction with respect to the base 52 by being operated may be provided.

この場合においても、収容箱１２をＹ軸正方向に移動させることができ、青果物１４が収容箱１２の外へ落下するのを防止できる。また、往復運動機構１００によるフレーム５６のＹ軸方向における往復運動ストロークＳは、螺子棒１０３を回動させる回数を調節することにより、往復運動部材１０１の往復運動距離を調節して、変更可能である。これにより、往復運動ストロークＳを、収容箱１４の寸法に応じて変更することにより、複数寸法の収容箱１２に対応できる。   Even in this case, the storage box 12 can be moved in the positive direction of the Y axis, and the fruits and vegetables 14 can be prevented from falling out of the storage box 12. The reciprocating stroke S in the Y-axis direction of the frame 56 by the reciprocating mechanism 100 can be changed by adjusting the reciprocating distance of the reciprocating member 101 by adjusting the number of times the screw rod 103 is rotated. is there. Thereby, by changing the reciprocating stroke S according to the dimension of the storage box 14, it can respond to the storage box 12 of multiple dimensions.
