[0003] In this case, as an automatic sorting device, the fruits and vegetables to be fed out to one destination are simply placed on a narrow belt conveyor, and the nozzles of discharge means (air blowing nozzle device) provided on one side of the conveyor. Conveyor chains are used to blow down fruits and vegetables on the belt that have moved synchronously from the measurement position with high-pressure air (air jet) that blows from the conveyor. A holder (attachment) that supports a plurality of narrow slat-like receiving plates in a tiltable manner in units of one unit is sequentially arranged on one side of the slat-like receiving plate. When the number of slats is reached, the sorting conveyor conveys fruits and vegetables downward by inclining only the number of slat-shaped trays received due to the sorting signal input synchronously.

However, in the discharge mechanism of the conventional automatic sorting apparatus as described above, for example, in the former type in which fruits and vegetables are blown off from one side of a belt conveyor by an air jet, the peel of the pericarp such as tangerine is soft. With fresh fruits and vegetables, the epidermis was easily damaged, and the noise associated with air blowing was so intense that it was not an optimal device.

In the latter type, in which the fruits and vegetables placed on a plurality of slat-shaped receiving plates attached to a plurality of holders connected to one side of the traveling chain are tilted and dropped, the slat-shaped receiving plate is placed on the holder. Due to the single support, the stability of the fruits and vegetables transferred from the feeding side to the slat-shaped receiving plate is poor. Even if the center part is slightly depressed, the machine is stable on long transport paths due to mechanical vibrations, etc.
It is difficult to move, and there is a possibility that it will jump out and fall on the way. In addition, the discharging operation of the slat-shaped receiving plate is also configured such that the stopper is simply disengaged from the horizontal position to the vertical position and is rotated by about 90 ° at a stroke, so that the discharging conveyor arranged below has at least the length of the slat-shaped receiving plate. It must be located below and separated by a distance, and the head is large. Therefore, the fruits and vegetables on the slat-shaped receiving plate are subjected to a rotating movement and a falling movement, and a large drop impact is exerted on the lower discharge conveyor, so that a discharge mechanism suitable for high-speed operation has not yet been achieved.

As described above, each sliding piece, in which the means for directly transporting the fruits and vegetables fed to one piece, is slidable on both sides of the holding support shaft which is provided at a fixed interval between the left and right running chains. A clamping arm rod protrudes from the body, and both sliding pieces are laid out on both sides of the carrier part from the front position toward the carrier part. The sliding piece itself is provided with a stopper mechanism for restricting sliding and is used as a detent. The stopper is released from the stopper to release the stopper. Is carried out by the stopper release means installed at a predetermined position, so that fruits and vegetables addressed to one piece whose appearance (color, scratches, dirt, etc.) and shape, dimensions, etc. are measured by a separate measuring device in the previous process are conveyed by the feeding conveyor. Medium, the feed con A pair of sliding piece of the mounting of the clamping supporting shaft passed plugged between the running chain upper position of ya is,
Since the outside is regulated by the guide rail for sandwiching the portion from the return portion side to the carrier portion with a wide interval and faces the upper portion of the feed conveyor in parallel while gradually narrowing the interval, the clamping arm bar of the sliding piece body The fruits and vegetables are clamped so as to hold the fruits and vegetables in the arc-shaped holding portion, so that the fruits and vegetables are gripped while being slightly lifted from the feeding conveyor surface. That is, the fruits and vegetables on the feeding conveyor are separated from the feeding surface by a pair of holding arm bars and switched to the running of the running chain, and while maintaining this state, they are transported by an appropriate distance (discharge position).

When the sliding piece of the pair of holding arm rods holding the fruits and vegetables reaches a predetermined discharge position by traveling of the traveling chain, the sorting information obtained by the measuring device is synchronized with the conveyance to the stopper releasing means. When the stopper is released and the stopper releasing means is actuated to push down the tip of the rocking body disposed on the upper part of the sliding piece with the actuator that can be lowered, the rotation of the rocking body raises the locking pin at the rear end. Since the engagement with the operating cam is released and the prevention of the check of the sliding piece is released, the sliding piece and the spring interposed on the holding shaft side are pushed outward at once by the resilience of a spring interposed therebetween.
Therefore, the fruits and vegetables grasped by the holding arm rods of both sliding pieces are released and fall, and are automatically guided to a separate discharge conveyor installed below. A single fruit and vegetable is gripped by several clamping arms because the holding arm itself is narrow and has a narrow space and is tightly protruded. For this reason, long fruits and vegetables such as ginseng can be gripped not only by gripping spherical fruits and vegetables such as tangerines but only by increasing the number of supports.

In the sliding piece projecting the holding arm rod, there is no laying guide rail at the transition point to the return portion side of the traveling chain, and conversely, a standby for increasing the interval between the sliding pieces. The guide rail is laid and switched, and the interval between the holding arm rods is widened until the guide rail comes again to the position of the carrier portion.
