Conventionally, in order to sort spherical fruit vegetables such as onions and the like, those that fall from those gaps by placing and transporting the items to be sorted on the transport upper surface formed by using a plurality of V-belt intervals. The configuration that can be separated and sorted into those that do not.

又、このような選別方法で複数階級に選別するとき

設定する必要がある。
Further, when sorting into a plurality of classes by such a sorting method, it is necessary to set the sorting device as described above in series with the corresponding class.

ところで、作柄や対象選別物の種類等よっては上記の

By the way, depending on the design, the type of the target selection, etc., the class division set as described above may not be necessary, and only some of them may be used partially. In this case, the unnecessary class sorting device is rather obstructive, and requires time and effort to mix and sort the sorted objects dropped from the class with those of the class nearby.

For this reason, conventionally, as shown in FIGS.
The pulleys b, b,... That wind and support the belts a, a,... Are also movable in the longitudinal direction of the support shaft c. …
Is moved to the left and right along the handle shaft e, and the pulley spacing can be changed in conjunction with this.
It corresponded to each function of conveyance.

In order to move the pulley group by the holders d, d... Collectively, a plurality of screw shafts f, f. Of the pulleys, those that can be divided to the left and right with the center fixed pulley as the boundary, while the right side is configured as the right thread and the left side as the left thread, while the screw pitch is set larger as the distance from the center pulley increases, the forward rotation of the handle shaft e causes The structure of the pulley group is still complicated even if it is improved so that the interval between the adjacent pulleys becomes narrower at once at the same pitch, and when the pulley group is rotated, the interval becomes wider at once at the same pitch.

The present invention seeks to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, in which a plurality of V-belts 2, 2 which are arranged side by side, have different heights of adjacent belts, and a gap between these adjacent V-belts 2, 2 allows the sorting of the objects to be sorted. In a sorting conveyor that sorts the shape into large and small according to the possibility of dropping, the height of these V-belts 2, 2 is provided so that it can be adjusted up and down, and the configuration of a shape sorting device such as onions that is provided so that it can be set to almost the same height I do.

〔発明の作用及び効果〕[Functions and Effects of the Invention]

Vベルト間隙からの落下によって形状選別を行なうと

いものはそのまま移送されて両者選別分離される。
When shape selection is performed by dropping from the V-belt gap, one of these V-belts, which are alternately positioned, is moved upward or downward, and in this state, the objects to be sorted are supplied. Small ones fall down from between adjacent V-belts with wide gaps, while large ones are transported as they are and separated from each other.

又、選別分離の必要のないときは、上記のVベルトを

である。
When it is not necessary to separate and sort, the V-belt is moved up and down so that the entire surface is set to have a substantially uniform height. By doing so, the gap between the adjacent V-belts is narrowed, and all the sorted materials to be supplied are supplied to the next conveyor or the like.

このように、Vベルトの上下切換によって容易に選別
状態と、非選別状態で移送状態に切換ることができるも
のであるから、階級設定の変更等に容易に対応できる効
果がある。
As described above, since it is possible to easily switch between the sorting state and the transfer state in the non-sorting state by vertically switching the V-belt, there is an effect that it is possible to easily cope with a change in class setting and the like.
