Description

本発明は、搬送部へ食品片を載置する方法およびこの方法を用いた食品切断搬送装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method of placing a food piece on a transport unit and a food cutting and transporting device using this method.

従来の搬送部への食品片載置方法を用いた食品切断搬送装置として、特許文献1に開示された塊状肉の切断搬送装置が知られている。
この装置は、塊状肉を搬送する上下揺動自在な供給部と、この供給部の搬送終端部から突出した塊状肉の端部を切断する切断部と、この切断部によって切断された肉片を引き継いで移送する引継回転体と、この引継回転体から肉片を引き継いで下方揺動し、搬送部の搬送始端部に載置する揺動部材を備えている。

特許2019-156423号公報Japanese Patent No. 2019-156423

上述の従来の技術では、揺動部材の下方揺動のみによって肉片を搬送始端部に放出して載置するため、揺動部材が高速で下方揺動すると搬送部の搬送方向への放擲効果が生じ、片が搬送始端部上に載置される位置がずれたり、この載置時に肉片の姿勢の乱れや変形を生じる問題がある。
また、このように、搬送始端部への肉片の載置位置がずれた場合、例えば搬送終端部に配置されたトレーへの供給タイミングもずれることになり、トレー内への盛り付けを円滑に行なうことができなくなる問題が生じうる。
In the above-mentioned conventional technique, the meat piece is discharged and placed on the transport start end only by the downward swing of the swing member. Therefore, when the swing member swings downward at high speed, the effect of releasing the meat piece in the transport direction of the transport portion is achieved. There is a problem that the position where the piece is placed on the transfer start end is displaced, and the posture of the meat piece is disturbed or deformed at the time of this placement.
In addition, if the placement position of the meat pieces on the transport start end is shifted in this way, the supply timing to the tray placed at the transport end, for example, is also shifted, and the tray can be smoothly arranged. There may be a problem that you cannot do it.

この問題を解決するために、揺動部材の下方揺動時に搬送始端部を上昇させ、両者を接近させて肉片を受け渡す方法が考えられる。
しかしながら、揺動部材が下方揺動し、搬送始端部が上昇して両者が接近したときに、例えば肉片が厚い場合にはこの肉片を揺動部材で搬送始端部側へ押し付けることとなる。
これによって、肉片に揺動部材で押し付けられた跡が残り、商品価値が低下する問題が生じる。
In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to raise the transport start end portion when the swing member swings downward and bring the two closer to each other to deliver the meat pieces.
However, when the rocking member swings downward and the transport start end portion rises and the two approach each other, for example, when the meat piece is thick, the meat piece is pressed toward the transport start end portion by the swing member.
This leaves a mark of being pressed by the rocking member on the piece of meat, which causes a problem that the commercial value is lowered.

本発明は、上述のような従来技術の課題を解決し、肉片等の食品片を、その商品価値の低下を少なくしながら、姿勢の乱れや変形を少なくし、搬送始端部に位置ずれの少ない状態で載置することのできる食品片載置方法およびこの方法を用いた食品切断搬送装置を実現することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, reduces the deterioration of the commercial value of food pieces such as meat pieces, reduces the posture disorder and deformation, and has less misalignment at the transport start end. It is an object of the present invention to realize a food piece placing method that can be placed in a state and a food cutting and transporting device using this method.

無端状帯刃49を駆動プーリー46と従動プーリー48に巻き掛けた状態で切断用電動モーター44を起動すると、出力軸45における軸心の前上方延長線方向から見て、駆動プーリー46が反時計回りに駆動回転する。
また、無端状帯刃49を介して従動プーリー48も反時計方向に従動回転する。
これによって、無端状帯刃49の下側巻回域では、無端状帯刃49が従動プーリー48側から駆動プーリー46側へ(右から左へ)周回移動する。
したがって、この下側巻回域では、無端状帯刃49は緊張状態で周回移動することとなり、この無端状帯刃49の下側巻回域を塊状肉の切断作用域として使用する。
When the electric motor 44 for cutting is started with the endless band blade 49 wound around the drive pulley 46 and the driven pulley 48, the drive pulley 46 is counterclockwise when viewed from the front upper extension line direction of the axis center of the output shaft 45. Drive and rotate around.
Further, the driven pulley 48 also rotates in a counterclockwise direction via the endless band blade 49.
As a result, in the lower winding region of the endless band blade 49, the endless band blade 49 orbits from the driven pulley 48 side to the drive pulley 46 side (from right to left).
Therefore, in this lower winding area, the endless band blade 49 orbits in a tense state, and the lower winding area of the endless band blade 49 is used as a cutting action area for the lump meat.

また、このように周回移動する無端状帯刃49に塊状肉の切断抵抗等によって過負荷が掛かった場合には、従動軸47に出力軸45側へ向かう方向の力が掛かるが、この従動軸47を移動調節するエアシリンダー内の空気が圧縮されることによって、過負荷による破損を防止することができる。
なお、無端状帯刃49の一側縁を鋭利な刃縁に形成する。
Further, when an overload is applied to the endless band blade 49 that orbits in this way due to the cutting resistance of the lump meat or the like, a force is applied to the driven shaft 47 in the direction toward the output shaft 45, but this driven shaft By compressing the air in the air cylinder that moves and adjusts 47, damage due to overload can be prevented.
One side edge of the endless band blade 49 is formed into a sharp blade edge.

図10に示すように、無端状帯刃49を案内する案内部材51を、駆動プーリー46と従動プーリー48の間における受板43の上方に配置する。
この案内部材51は、左右方向に長尺の板体の下縁部に、下向きに開口した左右方向の溝を形成し、この溝に、無端状帯刃49の刃縁のない側縁部分を左右方向へ摺動自在に嵌入させるものである。
そして、この案内部材51の姿勢を固定することで、無端状帯刃49の巻き掛け面が後下がり傾斜した設定姿勢に保持され、この無端状帯刃49の刃縁と受板43の上端との間に間隔部Tが形成される。
なお、案内部材51によって無端状帯刃49の内面と外面が摺接支持されるため、周回移動時の傾斜姿勢が安定する。
As shown in FIG. 10, the guide member 51 for guiding the endless band blade 49 is arranged above the receiving plate 43 between the drive pulley 46 and the driven pulley 48.
The guide member 51 forms a groove in the left-right direction that opens downward in the lower edge portion of a plate body that is long in the left-right direction, and a side edge portion of the endless band blade 49 without a blade edge is formed in this groove. It is slidably fitted in the left-right direction.
Then, by fixing the posture of the guide member 51, the winding surface of the endless band blade 49 is held in the set posture in which the winding surface of the endless band blade 49 is tilted backward, and the blade edge of the endless band blade 49 and the upper end of the receiving plate 43 are formed. An interval portion T is formed between the two.
Since the inner surface and the outer surface of the endless band blade 49 are slidably supported by the guide member 51, the inclined posture during the circumferential movement is stable.

The 56, 56 are configured to rotate integrally around the lower shafts 58, 58.

また、これら4つの上部リンクアーム56の下端部には、下部リンクアーム59の上端部を連結固定する。これにより、下部リンクアーム59と上部リンクアーム56は、左側面視で逆「く」字形状を呈する。
また、前後の下部リンクアーム59,59の下端部に設けた左右方向の軸59P,59Pと第3支持部材53前部と後部に設けた軸53P,53Pの間を、前後の引張スプリング60,60で夫々連結し、この引張スプリング60,60の収縮方向への弾発力で第1支持部材55を上昇方向へ付勢する。
Further, the upper end portion of the lower link arm 59 is connected and fixed to the lower end portions of these four upper link arms 56. As a result, the lower link arm 59 and the upper link arm 56 have an inverted "dogleg" shape when viewed from the left side.
Further, between the front and rear shafts 59P and 59P provided at the lower ends of the front and rear lower link arms 59 and 59 and the shafts 53P and 53P provided at the front and rear of the third support member 53, the front and rear tension springs 60, The tension springs 60 and 60 are connected to each other at 60, and the elastic force of the tension springs 60 and 60 in the contraction direction urges the first support member 55 in the ascending direction.

そして、第3支持部材53に、電動モーター61の基部を左右方向の軸心回りに軸支し、この電動モーター61によって回転駆動される螺子軸63に雌螺子部材64を螺合し、この雌螺子部材64と共に移動する中間部材64aの先端部を、第1支持部材55の前後方向中間部に備えた左右方向のフレーム55a側のステー55bに、左右方向の軸65で回動自在に軸着する。
この電動モーター61の駆動によって螺子軸63が回転すると、これに螺合する雌螺子部材64が螺子軸63の軸心方向に移動し、中間部材64aを介して第1支持部材55のフレーム55aを押し引きし、第1支持部材55が第3支持部材53に対して移動する。
この第1支持部材55の移動軌跡は、前後の上部リンクアーム56の上端部の揺動軌跡の設定によって決定される。
Then, the base of the electric motor 61 is pivotally supported on the third support member 53 around the axis in the left-right direction, and the female screw member 64 is screwed into the screw shaft 63 rotationally driven by the electric motor 61, and the female is screwed.

By pushing and pulling, the first support member 55 moves with respect to the third support member 53.
The movement locus of the first support member 55 is determined by setting the swing locus of the upper end portion of the front and rear upper link arms 56.

すなわち、4つの上部リンクアーム56の長さは全て同じ長さに形成し、第3支持部材53に対する前側の下部軸58の軸受位置を、第3支持部材53に対する後側の下部軸58の軸受位置よりも高く設定する。
そして、前側の左右の上部リンクアーム56,56の後下がり傾斜を、後側の左右の上部リンクアーム56,56の後下がり傾斜よりも緩く設定する。
これによって、第1支持部材55が第3支持部材53に対して接近するほど(下降するほど)、この第1支持部材55の前部側が後部側よりも大きく下降し、第1支持部材55が前下がりに傾斜していく。
That is, the lengths of the four upper link arms 56 are all formed to be the same length, and the bearing position of the front lower shaft 58 with respect to the third support member 53 is set to the bearing position of the rear lower shaft 58 with respect to the third support member 53. Set higher than the position.
Then, the rear-down inclination of the left and right upper link arms 56, 56 on the front side is set looser than the rear-down inclination of the left and right upper link arms 56, 56 on the rear side.
As a result, as the first support member 55 approaches (descends) the third support member 53, the front side of the first support member 55 descends more than the rear side, and the first support member 55 moves. It tilts forward.

しかして、第1支持部材55の後部には、左右の側板66,66を有した後部支持台67の下端部をボルト締結によって固定する。
また、この左右の側板66,66の下部間は、左右方向の丸棒状のフレーム68,68で連結して補強する。
Then, at the rear portion of the first support member 55, the lower end portion of the rear support base 67 having the left and right side plates 66, 66 is fixed by bolting.
Further, the lower portions of the left and right side plates 66, 66 are connected and reinforced by round bar-shaped frames 68, 68 in the left-right direction.

図11に示すように、左右の側板66,66の上方延出部の間は、左右方向のフレーム69で連結する。
図4に示すように、左右の側板66,66の上部後側の部位に、前上がり傾斜した斜辺部を形成し、この斜辺部に、上述の受板43の前面における左右両端部から前方へ突設したステー70,70をナット71で締結して固定する。
これによって、受板43が第1支持部材55上の定位置に固定される。

なお、第3支持部材53を機台2に対して前方へ移動させると、受板43が開口部35から離間し、この受板43と開口部35の間にメンテナンス用の空間が形成され、この空間を利用して切断部4および後述する搬送部5等のメンテナンスを行なうことができる。 When the third support member 53 is moved forward with respect to the machine base 2, the receiving plate 43 is separated from the opening 35, and a space for maintenance is formed between the receiving plate 43 and the opening 35. This space can be used for maintenance of the cutting section 4 and the transport section 5 described later.

(切断される肉片の厚さ調節)
電動モーター61を駆動すると、第1支持部材55およびこれに一体的に支持された受板43が、上部リンクアーム56,56の揺動軌跡に拘束される方向に移動する。
すなわち、切断される肉片の厚さを厚くする場合には、第1支持部材55を前方へ移動させることになるが、このとき、第1支持部材55が前下がりに傾斜しながら前側下方へ移動する。
このとき、第1支持部材55に支持された受板43の後面は、前方へ傾倒するように姿勢変化する。
(Adjusting the thickness of the piece of meat to be cut)
When the electric motor 61 is driven, the first support member 55 and the receiving plate 43 integrally supported by the first support member 55 move in a direction constrained by the swing loci of the upper link arms 56 and 56.
That is, when increasing the thickness of the meat piece to be cut, the first support member 55 is moved forward, but at this time, the first support member 55 moves downward on the front side while tilting forward. do.
At this time, the rear surface of the receiving plate 43 supported by the first support member 55 changes its posture so as to tilt forward.

この結果、摺接縁部40,40の前面と受板43の後面との間隔変化に拘らず、側面視において、受板43の後面が、摺接縁部40,40の揺動中心である支点軸11を中心とする円弧(仮想上の円弧)上に位置する状態が維持される。
すなわち、支点軸11から受板43の後面の上端までの距離と、支点軸11から受板43の後面の下端までの距離が等しい状態を維持しながら、摺接縁部40,40の前面と受板43の後面との間隔が調節される。
これによって、切断される肉片の厚さが全面にわたって略均一な厚さで調節される。
As a result, the rear surface of the receiving plate 43 is the swing center of the sliding contact edges 40, 40 in the side view, regardless of the change in the distance between the front surface of the sliding contact edges 40, 40 and the rear surface of the receiving plate 43. The state of being located on an arc (virtual arc) centered on the fulcrum axis 11 is maintained.
That is, while maintaining a state in which the distance from the fulcrum shaft 11 to the upper end of the rear surface of the receiving plate 43 and the distance from the fulcrum shaft 11 to the lower end of the rear surface of the receiving plate 43 are equal, the front surfaces of the sliding contact edges 40, 40. The distance from the rear surface of the receiving plate 43 is adjusted.
Thereby, the thickness of the meat pieces to be cut is adjusted to a substantially uniform thickness over the entire surface.

なお、側面視における摺接縁部40,40の前面の曲率と、受板43の後面の曲率を略等しくしている。
このため、厳密には、上述の厚さ調節を行なうと、支点軸11から受板43の後面の上端および下端までの各距離と、支点軸11から受板43の後面の上下方向中間部までの距離とが僅かに相違したものとなる。
しかしながら、この僅かな相違は、切断された肉片の商品価値に影響するほどのものとはならない。
The curvature of the front surface of the sliding contact edges 40, 40 in the side view is substantially equal to the curvature of the rear surface of the receiving plate 43.
Therefore, strictly speaking, when the above-mentioned thickness adjustment is performed, each distance from the fulcrum shaft 11 to the upper and lower ends of the rear surface of the receiving plate 43 and from the fulcrum shaft 11 to the vertical intermediate portion of the rear surface of the receiving plate 43. The distance is slightly different.
However, this slight difference does not affect the commercial value of the cut pieces of meat.

また、このように受板43を前方へ傾倒させながら前側下方へ移動させる構成は、この実施例におけるスライサーのように、支点軸11を中心とする摺接縁部40,40の円弧軌跡の下側領域で塊状肉を切断する構成の場合に適用される。 Further, the configuration in which the receiving plate 43 is tilted forward and moved downward on the front side in this way is below the arc locus of the sliding contact edges 40, 40 centered on the fulcrum shaft 11 as in the slicer in this embodiment. Applicable for configurations that cut chunks of meat in the lateral region.

(切断作動)
切断する塊状肉の種類や状態等に応じて作動条件を設定し、各部の設定条件等を変更し、後述する起動スイッチ401を操作する。
これによって、切断部4の無端状帯刃49の周回移動と、搬送部5の搬送駆動が開始される。
(Cut operation)
The operating conditions are set according to the type and state of the chunk meat to be cut, the setting conditions of each part are changed, and the start switch 401 described later is operated.
As a result, the circumferential movement of the endless strip blade 49 of the cutting portion 4 and the transport drive of the transport portion 5 are started.

この初期状態において、供給部3は揺動範囲の下限に位置しており、この状態で供給部3に塊状肉を投入し、フィードスイッチをON操作すると、塊状肉搬送装置9が駆動を開始する。
これによって、投入された塊状肉は塊状肉搬送装置9の搬送作用を受けて前方へ搬送され、この塊状肉の前端部が受板43の後面に当接し、塊状肉の前端部の位置が規制される。
In this initial state, the supply unit 3 is located at the lower limit of the swing range, and when the chunk meat is charged into the supply unit 3 and the feed switch is turned ON in this state, the chunk meat transfer device 9 starts driving. ..
As a result, the introduced lump meat is conveyed forward by the transport action of the lump meat transport device 9, the front end portion of the lump meat comes into contact with the rear surface of the receiving plate 43, and the position of the front end portion of the lump meat is restricted. Will be done.

そして、この状態から供給部3が上昇揺動するにつれて、塊状肉における左右の開口部35から突出した前端部に、右側から左側へ周回移動する無端状帯刃49の刃縁が上側から切り込んでいく。
このとき、塊状肉の前端部が受板43によって位置規制されているので、無端状帯刃49によって塊状肉の前端部が均一な厚みに切断される。
Then, as the supply portion 3 rises and swings from this state, the blade edge of the endless band blade 49 that orbits from the right side to the left side cuts from the upper side into the front end portion protruding from the left and right openings 35 in the chunk meat. go.
At this time, since the position of the front end portion of the lump meat is restricted by the receiving plate 43, the front end portion of the lump meat is cut to a uniform thickness by the endless band blade 49.

供給部3が揺動範囲の上限近くの位置まで上昇揺動すると、塊状肉の前端部が無端状帯刃49によって切り離される。
そして、この所定の厚さに切断された肉片mが、受板43の上端と無端状帯刃49の下端との間に形成された間隔部Tを通過して、受板43の前側に配置された左右の引継回転体72,72の環状板74,74の上側周面に引き継がれる。
また、供給部3は揺動範囲の下限位置まで下降揺動し、初期状態に復帰し、この後、供給部3は再び上昇揺動し、上述の塊状肉の切断が繰り返される。
When the supply portion 3 rises and swings to a position near the upper limit of the swing range, the front end portion of the lump meat is separated by the endless band blade 49.

しかし、搬送方向下手側の搬送作用部5Rを支持する前部支持台116は、機台2側の第3支持部材53に一体的に取り付けられているため、受板43の位置調節の影響を受けて前後方向に移動することはない。
このため、切断する肉片mの厚さを調節しても、搬送部5における搬送方向下手側の搬送作用部5Rの位置が変化しないので、この搬送作用部5Rの搬送終端部から収容部6への肉片mないし肉片mの集合体Mの引き継ぎ位置が安定する。

However, since the front support base 116 that supports the transport working portion 5R on the lower side in the transport direction is integrally attached to the third support member 53 on the machine base 2 side, the influence of the position adjustment of the receiving plate 43 is exerted. It does not move back and forth after receiving it.
Therefore, even if the thickness of the meat piece m to be cut is adjusted, the position of the transporting action section 5R on the lower side in the transporting direction in the transporting section 5 does not change. The takeover position of the meat piece m or the aggregate M of the meat pieces m is stable.

すなわち、収容部6に設けた物品移動装置200の受面201に対する肉片mないし集合体Mの搬出位置が変化しにくくなり、以後の収容作動を円滑に行なえる。
また、受板43と搬送部5における搬送方向上手側の搬送作用部5Fとの位置関係が変化しないので、切断されて折り畳まれた肉片mは、搬送作用部5Fに円滑に引き継がれて搬送される。
That is, the carrying-out position of the meat piece m or the aggregate M with respect to the receiving surface 201 of the article moving device 200 provided in the accommodating portion 6 is less likely to change, and the subsequent accommodating operation can be smoothly performed.
Further, since the positional relationship between the receiving plate 43 and the transporting action section 5F on the upper side in the transporting direction in the transporting section 5 does not change, the cut and folded meat piece m is smoothly taken over by the transporting action section 5F and transported. To.

(食品片の載置制御)
しかして、図17に示すフローチャートと図18に示す説明図に沿い、肉片mの載置制御について説明する。
なお、左右の引継回転体72の回転位相はずれることがあるが、この実施例では左右の引継回転体72の回転位相が等しい場合について説明する。また、各設定値は、特に算出方法を説明するものを除き、予めコントローラー400に記憶されている。
(Control of food piece placement)
Then, the placement control of the meat piece m will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 17 and the explanatory diagram shown in FIG.
The rotation phases of the left and right takeover rotating bodies 72 may be out of phase, but in this embodiment, the case where the left and right takeover rotating bodies 72 have the same rotation phase will be described. Further, each set value is stored in the controller 400 in advance, except for those for explaining the calculation method.

まず、折り畳み可否選択スイッチBSを、折り畳みを禁止する側へ切り替え、起動スイッチ401を入り操作すると、コントローラー400の出力側から、切断用モータードライバ424と、揺動用モータードライバ425と、搬送用モータードライバ426へ作動指令信号が出力され、切断部4の駆動と供給部3の揺動と搬送部5の駆動が開始される。(STEP1) First, when the folding enable / disable selection switch BS is switched to the side that prohibits folding and the start switch 401 is turned on and operated, the cutting motor driver 424, the swing motor driver 425, and the transport motor driver are operated from the output side of the controller 400. An operation command signal is output to 426, and the drive of the cutting unit 4, the swing of the supply unit 3, and the drive of the transport unit 5 are started. (STEP1)

ここで、供給部3の揺動現在角度をPY1とし、1分間あたりの供給部3の往復揺動回数である作業能力設定値をSとし、調整係数をPL1とし、搬送始端部5aの上昇開始条件となる供給部3の設定揺動角度をPL2とする。
搬送始端部5aの上昇実開始条件となる供給部3の設定揺動角度をPL3とすると、このPL3は以下の演算式で求まる。
PL3=PL2+(Max(S)×PL1)
「Max(S)」は作業能力の最大設定値である。
Here, the current swing angle of the supply unit 3 is set to PY1, the work capacity setting value which is the number of reciprocating swings of the supply unit 3 per minute is set to S, the adjustment coefficient is set to PL1, and the ascending start end portion 5a starts to rise. The set swing angle of the supply unit 3 which is a condition is set to PL2.
Assuming that the set swing angle of the supply unit 3, which is the condition for actually starting the ascent of the transfer start end portion 5a, is PL3, this PL3 can be obtained by the following calculation formula.
PL3 = PL2 + (Max (S) x PL1)
"Max (S)" is the maximum setting value of the work capacity.

更に、搬送始端部5aの上限位置までの上昇時間をTL1とし、引継回転体72の回転現在位相をPd1とし、引継回転体72の回転停止条件となる引継回転体72の設定回転位相をPd2とし、引継回転体72の回転開始条件となる供給部3の設定揺動角度をPd3とする。
また、細杆82の上方揺動開始条件となる供給部3の設定揺動角度(請求項の「第1設定揺動角度」)をPH1とし、細杆82の下方揺動開始条件となる引継回転体72の設定回転位相をPH2とする。(以上、STEP2)
Further, the rise time to the upper limit position of the transfer start end portion 5a is set to TL1, the rotation current phase of the takeover rotating body 72 is set to Pd1, and the set rotation phase of the takeover rotating body 72 which is a rotation stop condition of the taking over rotating body 72 is set to Pd2. The set swing angle of the supply unit 3, which is a condition for starting the rotation of the takeover rotating body 72, is set to Pd3.
Further, the set swing angle of the supply unit 3 (“first set swing angle” in the claim) which is the condition for starting the upward swing of the fine rod 82 is set to PH1, and the takeover which is the condition for starting the downward swing of the fine rod 82. The set rotation phase of the rotating body 72 is set to PH2. (End, STEP2)

供給部3の上下揺動(STEP3)によって、この供給部3の揺動現在角度PY1が供給部3の設定揺動角度Pd3と一致するか否かが判定される。(STEP4) By the vertical swing (STEP 3) of the supply unit 3, it is determined whether or not the swing current angle PY1 of the supply unit 3 matches the set swing angle Pd3 of the supply unit 3. (STEP4)

そして、これが一致した時点で、コントローラー400から引継用モータードライバ427,428へ出力が開始され、引継回転体72が回転を開始する。(STEP5) Then, when this coincides, the output from the controller 400 to the takeover motor drivers 427 and 428 is started, and the takeover rotating body 72 starts rotating. (STEP5)

そして、引継回転体72の回転現在位相Pd1が、この引継回転体72の回転停止条件となる設定回転位相Pd2に一致するか否かが判定され(STEP6)、この一致が判定された時点でコントローラー400から引継用モータードライバ427,428への出力が停止し、引継回転体72の回転が停止する。(STEP7) Then, it is determined whether or not the rotation current phase Pd1 of the takeover rotating body 72 matches the set rotation phase Pd2 which is the rotation stop condition of the takeover rotating body 72 (STEP6), and when this matching is determined, the controller The output from the 400 to the takeover motor drivers 427 and 428 is stopped, and the rotation of the takeover rotating body 72 is stopped. (STEP7)

一方、供給部3が上下揺動し(STEP8)、引継回転体72が回転している状態(STEP9)で、供給部3の揺動現在角度PY1が、細杆82の上方揺動開始条件となる供給部3の設定揺動角度PH1に一致するか否かが判定される。(STEP10) On the other hand, in a state where the supply unit 3 swings up and down (STEP 8) and the takeover rotating body 72 is rotating (STEP 9), the swing current angle PY1 of the supply unit 3 is the condition for starting the upward swing of the narrow rod 82. It is determined whether or not the set swing angle PH1 of the supply unit 3 is matched. (STEP10)

そして、これが一致した時点で、コントローラー400から左右の揺動用モータードライバ429,430へ出力が開始され、細杆82が上方揺動を開始する。(STEP11) Then, when this coincides, the output is started from the controller 400 to the left and right swing motor drivers 429 and 430, and the fine rod 82 starts swinging upward. (STEP11)

そして、モード選択スイッチMSがモードAを選択する側に切り替えられているか否かが判定され(STEP12)、モードAが選択されている場合に、作業能力に応じた搬送始端部5aの上昇開始条件となる供給部3の揺動角度(請求項の「第2設定揺動角度」)PL4が次式で算出される。(STEP13)
PL4=PL3-(S×PL1)
Then, it is determined whether or not the mode selection switch MS is switched to the side that selects the mode A (STEP 12), and when the mode A is selected, the ascending start condition of the transport start end portion 5a according to the working ability is determined. The swing angle of the supply unit 3 (“second set swing angle” in claim) PL4 is calculated by the following equation. (STEP13)
PL4 = PL3- (S × PL1)

そして、供給部3の揺動現在角度PY1が、この算出された揺動角度PL4に一致するか否かが判定され(STEP14。請求項の「設定された条件」に相当。)、一致した時点で、コントローラー400から上下動用モータードライバ435へ出力が開始され、無端ベルト96の搬送始端部5aが上昇を開始する。(図18-(a)参照)これと同時に、搬送始端部5aの上昇経過時間TL2のカウントが開始される。(STEP15) Then, it is determined whether or not the swing current angle PY1 of the supply unit 3 matches the calculated swing angle PL4 (STEP 14. Corresponds to the "set condition" of the claim), and when they match. Then, the output is started from the controller 400 to the vertical movement motor driver 435, and the transport start end portion 5a of the endless belt 96 starts to rise. (See FIG. 18- (a)) At the same time, the counting of the ascending elapsed time TL2 of the transport starting end portion 5a is started. (STEP15)

そして、この上昇経過時間TL2が、搬送始端部5aの上限位置までの上昇に必要な時間TL1に一致するか否かが判定される。(STEP16) Then, it is determined whether or not this ascending elapsed time TL2 coincides with the time TL1 required for ascending to the upper limit position of the transport start end portion 5a. (STEP16)

これが一致した時点で、搬送始端部5aはその昇降範囲の上限位置に到達し(出願時の請求項9に対応)、この時点から、コントローラー400から上下動用モータードライバ435へ逆方向の出力が開始され、搬送始端部5aが下限位置に到達するまでの下降を開始する。この搬送始端部5aの下降開始のタイミング(時刻相当)をTM1とする。(STEP17) When this coincides, the transport start end portion 5a reaches the upper limit position of the elevating range (corresponding to claim 9 at the time of filing), and from this point, the output in the reverse direction from the controller 400 to the vertical movement motor driver 435 starts. Then, the descent until the transport start end portion 5a reaches the lower limit position is started. The timing (corresponding to the time) of the start of descent of the transfer start end portion 5a is set to TM1. (STEP17)

そして、引継回転体72の回転現在位相Pd1が、細杆82の下方揺動開始条件となる引継回転体72の設定回転位相PH2に一致するか否かが判定される。(STEP18) Then, it is determined whether or not the rotation current phase Pd1 of the takeover rotating body 72 matches the set rotation phase PH2 of the takingover rotating body 72, which is a condition for starting the downward swing of the fine rod 82. (STEP18)

これが一致した時点で、コントローラー400から左右の揺動用モータードライバ429,430へ出力が開始され、細杆82が下限位置に到達するまでの下方揺動を開始する。(STEP19) When this coincides, the output from the controller 400 to the left and right swing motor drivers 429 and 430 is started, and the downward swing until the fine rod 82 reaches the lower limit position is started. (STEP19)

このとき、細杆82が下限位置に到達するタイミング(時刻相当)をTM2とし、細杆82が下限位置まで揺動する角度をθとし、細杆82の揺動角速度をωとすると、TM2は次式で求まる。
TM2=θ/ω
At this time, if the timing (corresponding to the time) when the fine rod 82 reaches the lower limit position is TM2, the angle at which the fine rod 82 swings to the lower limit position is θ, and the swing angular velocity of the fine rod 82 is ω, TM2 is It can be calculated by the following formula.
TM2 = θ / ω

そして、上述のTM1とTM2の関係は次式で表される。
TM2≧TM1
これにより、搬送始端部5aが下降を開始するタイミングは、細杆82が下限位置に到達するタイミングと同じか又は僅かに先行したものとなる。(以上、STEP19)
The relationship between TM1 and TM2 described above is expressed by the following equation.
TM2 ≧ TM1
As a result, the timing at which the transfer start end portion 5a starts descending is the same as or slightly ahead of the timing at which the fine rod 82 reaches the lower limit position. (End, STEP19)

この結果、細杆82の下方揺動によって、この細杆82に支持された肉片mまたは細杆82自体が搬送始端部5aに接触するタイミングと同時か、またはこのタイミングよりも僅かに先行したタイミングで搬送始端部5aの下降が開始され、細杆82に支持された肉片mが、表裏反転されて搬送始端部5aに載置される。(図18-(b)参照)(出願時の請求項1,2,6,8,12,13,14に対応) As a result, due to the downward swing of the fine rod 82, the timing at which the meat piece m supported by the fine rod 82 or the fine rod 82 itself comes into contact with the transport start end portion 5a is at the same time or slightly ahead of this timing. The lowering of the transport start end portion 5a is started, and the meat piece m supported by the fine rod 82 is turned upside down and placed on the transport start end portion 5a. (See FIG. 18- (b)) (corresponding to claims 1, 2, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14 at the time of filing)

また、このとき、搬送始端部5aは、細杆82の揺動範囲の下限位置よりも低い位置まで下降するように設定されている。(図18-(c)参照)(出願時の請求項4に対応) Further, at this time, the transport start end portion 5a is set to descend to a position lower than the lower limit position of the swing range of the fine rod 82. (See FIG. 18- (c)) (corresponding to claim 4 at the time of filing)

一方、モード選択スイッチMSがモードAを選択する側に切り替えられていない場合には(STEP12)、引継回転体72の回転現在位相Pd1が、細杆82の下方揺動の開始条件となる引継回転体72の設定回転位相PH2と一致するか否かが判定される。(STEP20) On the other hand, when the mode selection switch MS is not switched to the side that selects the mode A (STEP 12), the rotation current phase Pd1 of the takeover rotating body 72 is the takeover rotation that is a condition for starting the downward swing of the fine rod 82. It is determined whether or not the set rotation phase PH2 of the body 72 matches. (STEP20)

これが一致した時点で、コントローラー400から左右の揺動用モータードライバ429,430へ出力が開始され、細杆82が下限位置に到達するまでの下方揺動を開始する。(STEP21) When this coincides, the output from the controller 400 to the left and right swing motor drivers 429 and 430 is started, and the downward swing until the fine rod 82 reaches the lower limit position is started. (STEP21)

このとき、細杆82が下限位置に到達するタイミング(時刻相当)をTM2とし、細杆82が下限位置まで揺動する角度をθとし、細杆82の揺動角速度をωとすると、TM2は次式で求まる。
TM2=θ/ω
At this time, if the timing (corresponding to the time) when the fine rod 82 reaches the lower limit position is TM2, the angle at which the fine rod 82 swings to the lower limit position is θ, and the swing angular velocity of the fine rod 82 is ω, TM2 is It can be calculated by the following formula.
TM2 = θ / ω

そして、作業能力に応じた搬送始端部5aの上昇開始条件となる供給部3の揺動角度PL4が次式で算出される。(STEP22)
PL4=PL3-(S×PL1)
Then, the swing angle PL4 of the supply unit 3, which is a condition for starting the ascent of the transfer start end portion 5a according to the working capacity, is calculated by the following equation. (STEP22)
PL4 = PL3- (S × PL1)

そして、供給部3の揺動現在角度PY1が、この算出された揺動角度PL4に一致するか否かが判定され(STEP23。請求項の「設定された条件」に相当。)、これが一致した時点で、コントローラー400から上下動用モータードライバ435へ出力が開始され、無端ベルト96の搬送始端部5aが上昇を開始する。これと同時に、搬送始端部5aの上昇経過時間TL2のカウントが開始される。(STEP24) Then, it is determined whether or not the swing current angle PY1 of the supply unit 3 matches the calculated swing angle PL4 (STEP 23, which corresponds to the "set condition" of the claim), and this matches. At this point, the output from the controller 400 to the vertical movement motor driver 435 is started, and the transport start end portion 5a of the endless belt 96 starts to rise. At the same time, the counting of the ascending elapsed time TL2 of the transport starting end portion 5a is started. (STEP24)

そして、この上昇経過時間TL2が、搬送始端部5aの上限位置までの上昇に必要な時間TL1に一致するか否かが判定される。(STEP25) Then, it is determined whether or not this ascending elapsed time TL2 coincides with the time TL1 required for ascending to the upper limit position of the transport start end portion 5a. (STEP25)

これが一致した時点で、コントローラー400から上下動用モータードライバ435へ逆方向の出力が開始され、搬送始端部5aが下限位置に到達するまでの下降を開始する。 When this coincides, the output from the controller 400 to the vertical movement motor driver 435 in the reverse direction is started, and the descent until the transport start end portion 5a reaches the lower limit position is started.

この搬送始端部5aの下降開始のタイミング(時刻相当)をTM1とすると、上述のTM1とTM2の関係は次式で表される。
TM1≧TM2
Assuming that the timing (corresponding to the time) of the descent start of the transport start end portion 5a is TM1, the above-mentioned relationship between TM1 and TM2 is expressed by the following equation.
TM1 ≧ TM2

これにより、搬送始端部5aが下降を開始するタイミングは、細杆82が下限位置に到達するタイミングと同じか又は僅かに遅れたものとなる。(STEP26) As a result, the timing at which the transfer start end portion 5a starts descending is the same as or slightly delayed from the timing at which the fine rod 82 reaches the lower limit position. (STEP26)

この結果、細杆82の下方揺動によって、この細杆82に支持された肉片mまたは細杆82自体が搬送始端部5aに接触するタイミングと同時か、またはこのタイミングよりも僅かに遅れたタイミングで搬送始端部5aの下降が開始され、細杆82に支持された肉片mが、表裏反転されて搬送始端部5aに載置される。(図18-(b)参照)(出願時の請求項1,3,6,7,12,13,15に対応) As a result, due to the downward swing of the fine rod 82, the timing at which the meat piece m supported by the fine rod 82 or the fine rod 82 itself comes into contact with the transport start end portion 5a is at the same time or slightly later than this timing. The lowering of the transport start end portion 5a is started, and the meat piece m supported by the fine rod 82 is turned upside down and placed on the transport start end portion 5a. (See FIG. 18- (b)) (corresponding to claims 1, 3, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15 at the time of filing)

この場合、搬送始端部5aが細杆82の下方揺動速度よりも高速で下降するように、搬送始端部5aの下降速度と細杆82の下方揺動速度の関係を設定しているため、細杆82によって肉片mを搬送始端部5a上に押し付けるようなことはない。(出願時の請求項5,11,17に対応) In this case, since the relationship between the descending speed of the transport starting end portion 5a and the downward swinging speed of the fine rod 82 is set so that the transport starting end portion 5a descends at a speed higher than the downward swing speed of the fine rod 82. The fine rod 82 does not press the meat piece m onto the transport start end portion 5a. (Corresponding to claims 5, 11 and 17 at the time of filing)

しかして、上述のようにして、モード選択スイッチMSによって、細杆82を揺動範囲の下限位置に到達させるタイミングTM2が変更される。(出願時の請求項10,16に対応) Then, as described above, the mode selection switch MS changes the timing TM2 for causing the fine rod 82 to reach the lower limit position of the swing range. (Corresponding to claims 10 and 16 at the time of filing)
