Description

本発明は、サラミ、ソーセージ等の棒状物品の整列投入装置に係り、特に、棒状物品を詰まりを生じさせることなく複数本ずつ確実に整列させてトレー等に落とし込むことができるようにされたホッパー型の棒状物品整列投入装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an apparatus for aligning and feeding bar-shaped articles such as salami and sausage, and in particular, a hopper type in which a plurality of bar-shaped articles can be reliably aligned and dropped into a tray or the like without causing clogging. The present invention relates to a rod-shaped article alignment input device.

サラミ、ソーセージ等の棒状食品は、通常、包装機において一度に規定本数分（例えば１ダース分）ずつ包装するようにされているため、包装機に規定本数分の棒状食品を整列させて供給する必要があり、そのため、従来においては、例えば下記特許文献１に所載の如くの棒状物品整列供給装置が提案されている。
実公昭５７−２４７４８号公報 Salami, sausage and other stick-shaped foods are usually packed in a specified number (for example, one dozen) at a time in a packaging machine. Therefore, conventionally, for example, a rod-shaped article alignment and supply apparatus as described in Patent Document 1 below has been proposed.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No.57-24748

しかしながら、前記特許文献１に所載の棒状物品整列供給装置は、全自動化を図っているため、装置が大掛かりで複雑となって装置コストが非常に高くなる嫌いがある。また、棒状物品の詰まり、整列不良等が生じた場合には、装置全体を停止させる必要があり、さらに、品質検査、不良品の選別（大きさ、形が規定内かどうか、脂の溶出度合い等の検査、選別）等を行うことは実質的に不可能であり、不良品がそのまま包装機に搬送されてしまうといった問題が生じるおそれもある。   However, since the rod-shaped article alignment and supply apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is fully automated, there is a discomfort that the apparatus is large and complicated and the apparatus cost is very high. In addition, if the rod-shaped article is clogged or misaligned, it is necessary to stop the entire device. Further, quality inspection, selection of defective products (whether the size and shape are within the specified range, the degree of fat elution) It is practically impossible to perform inspection, sorting, etc.), and there is a possibility that a defective product is conveyed to the packaging machine as it is.

そのため、現状は、棒状物品が落とし込まれる細長形状のトレーが幅方向に所定間隔をあけて複数列（例えば１２列）並設されてなる並設トレー部を１ピッチずつ間欠的に前進させるコンベアを設け、このコンベアの両側に２〜３名の作業者が立って、手先で棒状物品を整列させながら各トレーに落とし込み、かつ、品質検査、不良品の選別等も行うようにしていた。   Therefore, under the present circumstances, a conveyor that intermittently advances a parallel tray portion in which a plurality of (e.g., 12) rows of elongated trays into which rod-shaped articles are dropped are arranged in parallel in the width direction at predetermined intervals. 2 to 3 workers stood on both sides of the conveyor and dropped the bars into each tray while aligning the bars with their hands, and also performed quality inspections, defective product sorting, and the like.

この場合、作業者は、ケースから棒状物品を取り出してトレーに投入するという作業を繰り返し行うことになるが、一人の作業者が行える作業量は限られているのに対し、コンベアによる搬送は待ってくれないため、作業者の労力負担は相当大きいものであった。   In this case, the worker repeats the work of taking out the rod-shaped article from the case and putting it into the tray. However, the amount of work that can be performed by one worker is limited, but waiting for conveyance by the conveyor. The labor burden on the workers was considerable.

本発明は、前記した如くの事情に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的とするところは、比較的簡素な構成のもとで、棒状物品を詰まりを生じさせることなく複数本ずつ確実に整列させてトレー等に落とし込むことができるようにされ、もって、装置コストを低く抑えたもとで効果的に省力化を図ることができるようにされた棒状物品整列投入装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above. The object of the present invention is to reliably align a plurality of rod-shaped articles without causing clogging under a relatively simple configuration. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rod-like article aligning and feeding device that can be dropped into a tray or the like, and can effectively save labor while keeping the device cost low.

前記目的を達成すべく、本発明に係る棒状物品整列投入装置は、基本的には、底部に断面山形状の隔壁部材が幅方向に前記棒状物品の直径より若干大きな間隔をあけて並設され、多数の前記棒状物品を段積み可能とされた角箱状容器と、該角箱状容器を浮かせた状態で支持する、少なくとも１本のばね部材を含む複数本の支柱部材と、前記棒状物品の詰まりを防止すべく前記角箱状容器に取り付けられ、該角箱状容器に振動を発生させる振動発生機構と、を備える。   In order to achieve the above object, the rod-shaped article aligning and feeding device according to the present invention basically has a partition wall member having a mountain-shaped cross section at the bottom and arranged in parallel in the width direction at a distance slightly larger than the diameter of the rod-shaped article. A rectangular box-shaped container in which a large number of the rod-shaped articles can be stacked, a plurality of support members including at least one spring member that supports the rectangular box-shaped container in a floating state, and the rod-shaped articles And a vibration generating mechanism that is attached to the rectangular box-like container and generates vibrations in the rectangular box-like container.

より具体的な構成では、棒状物品が落とし込まれる細長形状のトレーが幅方向に所定間隔をあけて複数列並設されるとともに、該並設トレー部を１ピッチずつ間欠的に前進させるコンベア上に設置されるものとされ、一旦停止中の前記並設トレー部上に配在され、底部に断面山形状の隔壁部材が幅方向に前記棒状物品の直径より若干大きな間隔をあけて、前記並設トレー部のトレー数に対応した個数分並設され、多数の前記棒状物品を前記トレーの概略長手方向に沿わせて段積み可能とされた角箱状容器と、該角箱状容器を前記並設トレー部の上面から所定の間隙をあけて浮かせた状態で支持する、少なくとも１本のばね部材を含む複数本の支柱部材と、前記棒状物品の詰まりを防止すべく前記角箱状容器に取り付けられ、該角箱状容器に振動を発生させる振動発生機構と、を備えていることを特徴としている。   In a more specific configuration, the elongated trays into which the bar-shaped articles are dropped are arranged in parallel in a plurality of rows at predetermined intervals in the width direction, and on the conveyor that intermittently advances the juxtaposed tray portion by one pitch. The partition wall member having a mountain-shaped cross section at the bottom is spaced a little larger than the diameter of the rod-shaped article in the width direction. A rectangular box-shaped container that is arranged side by side corresponding to the number of trays in the installed tray section and that can stack a large number of the rod-shaped articles along the substantially longitudinal direction of the tray, and the rectangular box-shaped container A plurality of strut members including at least one spring member, which are supported in a state of being floated with a predetermined gap from the upper surface of the side-by-side tray portion, and the square box-like container to prevent clogging of the rod-shaped article Attached and shaken into the box It is characterized by comprising a vibration generating mechanism to generate.

前記振動発生機構は、好ましくは、前記角箱状容器の一側面部に、その回転軸を略鉛直に立てた姿勢で取り付けられモータと、前記回転軸に対して水平面内で偏心した状態で取り付けられた偏心重りと、を備える。   Preferably, the vibration generating mechanism is attached to one side portion of the rectangular box-like container in a posture in which a rotation axis thereof is set up substantially vertically and is eccentric with respect to the rotation axis in a horizontal plane.

For this reason, the specified number of bars without causing clogging of the rod-like article under a relatively simple configuration. It can be surely aligned and dropped onto a tray or the like. As a result, it is possible to effectively save labor while keeping the apparatus cost low.

以下、本発明の棒状物品整列投入装置の実施形態を図面を参照しながら説明する。
図１、図２、図３は、それぞれ本発明に係る棒状物品整列投入装置の一実施形態の平面図、部分切欠正面図、部分切欠側面図である。 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a rod-shaped article alignment and input device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The parallel tray section 5 is provided with an endless annular conveying member (flexible synthetic resin film) 4 formed by a predetermined number of deep drawing processes at intervals of one pitch, and the parallel tray section 5 is intermittently advanced one pitch at a time, and the conveying member 4 is rotated so as to convey the rod-shaped article 1 placed therein to the packaging machine. The tray (concave portion) 6 has a semicircular or elliptical cross section corresponding to the rod-shaped article 1, and its depth D is slightly smaller than the diameter d of the rod-shaped article 1 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. In addition, the upper surface opening width Sb is slightly larger than the diameter d of the rod-shaped article 1, and the length Lb is slightly longer than the length Ls of the rod-shaped article 1.

前記角箱状容器２０は、一旦停止中の前記並設トレー部５上に配在されるもので、弾性撓曲可能な金属板を素材として上面が開口した角箱状に製作されており、底部には、合成樹脂製の断面山形状（断面二等辺三角形ないし半楕円状）の隔壁部材２２が横幅方向（Ｘ方向）に前記棒状物品１の直径ｄ（図２、図５参照）より若干大きな間隔Ｓａをあけて、前記並設トレー部５のトレー６の数（ここでは１２個）に対応した個数分（両端は半分ずつ）並設されており、図４に示される如くに、多数の前記棒状物品１を前記トレー６の概略長手方向に沿わせて段積み可能とされている。なお、角箱状容器２０の縦幅（Ｙ方向の幅）は、棒状物品１の長さＬｓより若干長いＬａとなっている（図１参照）。   The rectangular box-shaped container 20 is disposed on the side-by-side tray unit 5 that has been temporarily stopped, and is manufactured in a rectangular box shape with an upper surface opened using an elastically bendable metal plate, On the bottom, a partition member 22 having a cross-sectional mountain shape (isosceles triangle or semi-elliptical cross section) made of synthetic resin is slightly larger than the diameter d (see FIGS. 2 and 5) of the rod-shaped article 1 in the lateral width direction (X direction). As shown in FIG. 4, a large number Sa is provided in parallel with the number corresponding to the number of trays 6 (here, twelve) in the side-by-side tray section 5 with a large interval Sa. The rod-shaped articles 1 can be stacked along the substantially longitudinal direction of the tray 6. In addition, the vertical width (width in the Y direction) of the rectangular box-shaped container 20 is La that is slightly longer than the length Ls of the rod-shaped article 1 (see FIG. 1).

前記支柱部材（３０、４０）は、前記搬送部材左右角箱状容器２０を前記並設トレー部５の上面から所定の間隙α（図５参照）をあけて浮かせた状態で支持するためのもので、角箱状容器２０の第１対角線沿いに略鉛直に立てた姿勢で配在された一対のコイルばね３０、３０と、角箱状容器２０の第２対角線沿いに配在された一対の円柱状の合成樹脂製柱状体４０、４０と、を備えている。   The support members (30, 40) are for supporting the conveying member left and right rectangular box-shaped containers 20 in a state where they are floated with a predetermined gap α (see FIG. 5) from the upper surface of the side-by-side tray section 5. Thus, a pair of coil springs 30 and 30 disposed in a substantially vertical position along the first diagonal line of the rectangular box-shaped container 20 and a pair of coil springs 30 and 30 distributed along the second diagonal line of the rectangular box-shaped container 20 Columnar synthetic resin columnar bodies 40 and 40 are provided.

支柱部材を構成するコイルばね３０、３０及び柱状体４０、４０は、その下部が、搬送部材４（の並設トレー部５）の左右に配在されたの台座１１、１２に固定設置された有底短円筒状の下側受け部材３１、４１に嵌合固定され、その上部が、角箱状容器２０の両側面部上端から水平方向に張り出しているブラケット２４の下面に固着された円筒状の上側受け部材３２、４２に摺動自在に嵌挿されている。   The lower portions of the coil springs 30 and 30 and the columnar bodies 40 and 40 constituting the support member are fixedly installed on the pedestals 11 and 12 disposed on the left and right of the transport member 4 (the parallel tray portion 5 thereof). It is fitted and fixed to the bottom receiving members 31 and 41 having a bottomed short cylindrical shape, and its upper part is fixed to the lower surface of the bracket 24 projecting horizontally from the upper ends of both side surfaces of the rectangular box-shaped container 20. The upper receiving members 32 and 42 are slidably fitted.

また、コイルばね３０、３０及び柱状体４０、４０の上側には、角箱状容器２０の高さ位置、つまり、前記並設トレー部５の上面からの間隙α（図５参照）を調整するための高さ調節機構６０が設けられている。なお、前記間隙αは、棒状物品１の直径ｄの１／２より小さくなるようにされる。   Further, on the upper side of the coil springs 30, 30 and the columnar bodies 40, 40, the height position of the rectangular box-shaped container 20, that is, the gap α (see FIG. 5) from the upper surface of the parallel tray section 5 is adjusted. A height adjusting mechanism 60 is provided. The gap α is set to be smaller than ½ of the diameter d of the rod-shaped article 1.

高さ調節機構６０は、ブラケット２４の上面に固着されたナット部材６３と、このナット部材６３に螺合せしめられた蝶ボルト６１と、この蝶ボルト６１の下端に固着されてコイルばね３０、３０及び柱状体４０、４０の上面に押し当てられた押し当て板６２と、からなっており、一つの蝶ボルト６１を回すことにより一つのブラケット２４、すなわち、角箱状容器２０の四隅のうちの一つが上下方向に移動せしめられる。   The height adjusting mechanism 60 includes a nut member 63 fixed to the upper surface of the bracket 24, a butterfly bolt 61 screwed into the nut member 63, and a coil spring 30, 30 fixed to the lower end of the butterfly bolt 61. And a pressing plate 62 pressed against the upper surface of the columnar bodies 40, 40. By rotating one butterfly bolt 61, one bracket 24, that is, one of the four corners of the rectangular box-shaped container 20. One is moved up and down.

前記振動発生機構５０は、棒状物品１の詰まりを防止すべく角箱状容器２０に振動を発生させるためのもので、右側のコイルばね３０と柱状体４０との間に配在されており、角箱状容器２０の右側面部から上方に延設された上方突出板部２５に溶接あるいはボルト類で取付固定されたケース５１と、このケース５１の底部下面側に、その回転軸５３を略鉛直に立てた姿勢で前記ケース５１内に臨ませた状態で取付固定されたモータ５２と、前記回転軸５３に対して水平面内で偏心した状態でアーム５４を介して取り付けられた偏心重り５５と、を備えている。   The vibration generating mechanism 50 is for generating vibration in the rectangular box-shaped container 20 to prevent clogging of the rod-shaped article 1, and is disposed between the right coil spring 30 and the columnar body 40, A case 51 welded or fixed to the upper projecting plate portion 25 extending upward from the right side surface portion of the rectangular box-shaped container 20 by means of welding or bolts, and the rotating shaft 53 on the bottom lower surface side of the case 51 is substantially vertical. A motor 52 mounted and fixed in a state of being faced in the case 51 in an upright position, an eccentric weight 55 mounted via an arm 54 in an eccentric state in a horizontal plane with respect to the rotating shaft 53, It has.

かかる振動発生機構５０では、モータ５２（の回転軸５３）が回転すると、偏心重り５５が回転軸線Ｏを中心として水平面内で回転し、この偏心重り５５の回転により角箱状容器２０の前後左右に作用する荷重のバランスが崩れ、角箱状容器２０が若干弾性撓曲する等して上下に揺れ、これにより、コイルばね３０、３０が伸縮し、角箱状容器２０が偏心重りの回転に合わせて振動する。   In the vibration generating mechanism 50, when the motor 52 (the rotation shaft 53) rotates, the eccentric weight 55 rotates in the horizontal plane around the rotation axis O, and the rotation of the eccentric weight 55 causes the square box-shaped container 20 to be front, rear, left and right. The balance of the load acting on the container is lost, and the rectangular box-shaped container 20 is elastically bent and swings up and down. As a result, the coil springs 30 and 30 are expanded and contracted, and the rectangular box-shaped container 20 is rotated by the eccentric weight. It vibrates together.

この振動により、該角箱状容器２０は自動ふるい機のように働き、このため、図４に示される如くに、角箱状容器２０内に投入された多数の棒状物品１は断面山形状の隔壁部材２２−２２間に順次落とし込まれ、この過程において前記トレー６の概略長手方向に沿うように整列されつつ段積みされていく。   Due to this vibration, the rectangular box-shaped container 20 works like an automatic sieving machine. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a large number of rod-shaped articles 1 put into the rectangular box-shaped container 20 have a mountain-shaped cross section. The material is sequentially dropped between the partition members 22-22, and in this process, the trays 6 are stacked while being aligned along the substantially longitudinal direction.

そして、隔壁部材２２−２２間に落とし込まれた最下段の棒状物品１は、その真下に来て一旦停止せしめられる並設トレー部５の各トレー６に落とし込まれる。この場合、図６、図７に示される如くに、トレー６の深さＤより棒状物品１の直径ｄの方が若干大きくされているので、棒状物品１の上端部がトレー６の上面からはみ出た状態となり、このはみ出た上端部に次段の棒状物品１が乗ることになる。この状態では、次段の棒状物品１は、並設トレー部５の上面と角箱状容器２０の底面との間隙α（図５参照）が、棒状物品１の直径ｄの１／２より小さくされているので、抜け出ることはない。   Then, the lowermost bar-like article 1 dropped between the partition members 22-22 is dropped into the respective trays 6 of the side-by-side tray unit 5 that comes directly below and temporarily stops. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the diameter d of the bar-shaped article 1 is slightly larger than the depth D of the tray 6, so that the upper end of the bar-shaped article 1 protrudes from the upper surface of the tray 6. The next-stage rod-shaped article 1 is placed on the protruding upper end. In this state, in the next-stage bar-shaped article 1, the gap α (see FIG. 5) between the upper surface of the side-by-side tray unit 5 and the bottom surface of the rectangular box-shaped container 20 is smaller than ½ of the diameter d of the bar-shaped article 1. Because it is, you will not get out.

続いて、搬送部材４（並設トレー部５）がＹ方向に１ピッチ前進せしめられると、それに伴い各トレー６に落とし込まれた棒状物品１も前方に送られるが、次段の棒状物品１は角箱状容器２０の前側面下端部２０ａ（図７参照）に係止されるので、そのまま残り、次の並設トレー部５が角箱状容器２０の真下に来たとき、そのトレー６内に落とし込まれることになる。   Subsequently, when the conveying member 4 (the side-by-side tray unit 5) is moved forward by one pitch in the Y direction, the bar-shaped article 1 dropped into each tray 6 is also sent forward. Is locked to the front side lower end 20a (see FIG. 7) of the rectangular box-shaped container 20, so that it remains as it is, and when the next side-by-side tray section 5 comes directly below the rectangular box-shaped container 20, the tray 6 Will be dropped into.

このように、本実施形態の棒状物品整列投入装置１０では、角箱状容器２０が対角配置された一対のコイルばね３０、３０及び柱状体４０、４０からなる支柱部材で浮遊支持されるとともに、角箱状容器２０に振動発生機構５０が取り付けられているので、角箱状容器２０は振動発生機構５０により振動（縦揺れ）して自動ふるい機のように働き、このため、比較的簡素な構成のもとで、棒状物品１を詰まりを生じさせることなく規定本数ずつ確実に整列させて各トレー６に落とし込むことができる。   As described above, in the rod-shaped article aligning and feeding device 10 according to the present embodiment, the rectangular box-shaped container 20 is floated and supported by the strut members including the pair of coil springs 30 and 30 and the columnar bodies 40 and 40 arranged diagonally. Since the vibration generating mechanism 50 is attached to the rectangular box-shaped container 20, the rectangular box-shaped container 20 is vibrated (pitched) by the vibration generating mechanism 50 and works like an automatic sieving machine. With a simple configuration, the rod-shaped article 1 can be reliably aligned by the specified number without being clogged and dropped into each tray 6.

この場合、作業者は一人で済み、この作業者が一度に多数の棒状物品１を角箱状容器２０に投入しておけば、トレー６への棒状物品１の投入は、棒状物品整列投入装置１０がやってくれるので、後は品質検査、不良品の選別等を行うだけでよくなる。そのため、包装機へ品質不良品が送られたり、あるいは、棒状物品１が入っていない空のトレーまま送ってしまうような事態が生じがたくなり、その結果、装置コストを低く抑えたもとで効果的に省力化を図ることができる。   In this case, only one worker is required, and if this worker puts a large number of rod-shaped articles 1 into the rectangular box-shaped container 20 at a time, the rod-shaped articles 1 are loaded into the tray 6 by the rod-shaped article aligning and feeding device. 10 will do it for you, and after that you only need to do quality inspection, sorting out defective products, etc. For this reason, it is difficult for a defective product to be sent to the packaging machine or to be sent as an empty tray that does not contain the rod-shaped article 1, and as a result, it is effective in keeping the device cost low. It is possible to save labor.

なお、上記実施形態では、支柱部材として一対のコイルばね３０、３０及び柱状体４０、４０を対角配置しているが、必ずしもかかる構成とする必要はなく、コイルばね３０を１本３本、あるいは４本用いる等してもよい。しかしながら、振動が最も安定して最良の整列効果が得られるのは、上記のように一対のコイルばね３０、３０及び柱状体４０、４０を対角配置した場合である。   In the above-described embodiment, the pair of coil springs 30 and 30 and the columnar bodies 40 and 40 are diagonally arranged as support members, but it is not always necessary to have such a configuration. Or you may use four. However, the vibration is most stable and the best alignment effect is obtained when the pair of coil springs 30 and 30 and the columnar bodies 40 and 40 are diagonally arranged as described above.
