する。 Next, the second hydraulic cylinder 32 is operated to lower the suction unit 8, and after storing each of the adsorbed fruits and vegetables 3 in the box 10, the suction of each suction element 9 is stopped.
Automatically switch to OFF, and each suction element 9...
Packing is completed by separating the fruits and vegetables 3 further apart.
この後、各果菜物３……を収納した箱１０は搬

ユニツト８は果菜物吸着位置の上部に復帰し、
再び、箱詰スイツチ３３を押すと箱詰動作が連続
的に繰り返される。 After that, the box 10 containing each fruit and vegetable 3 is conveyed to the next processing by the conveyor belt 34, and at the same time, the suction unit 8 returns to the upper part of the fruit and vegetable suction position,
When the boxing switch 33 is pressed again, the boxing operation is continuously repeated.
このように向き修正後の果菜物３を吸着子９で
吸着した状態のまま所定の箱詰間隔に可変するの
で、吸着ユニツト８の移動中に果菜物３の向きが
変わるようなことがなく、所定の整列状態で箱詰
することができる。 In this way, since the fruit and vegetables 3 whose orientation has been corrected are changed to the predetermined packing interval while being sucked by the suction element 9, the orientation of the fruit and vegetables 3 does not change while the suction unit 8 is moving. It can be packed in a predetermined alignment.

子９との吸着位置がずれを防止でき、果菜物３を
確実に吸着することができ円滑な箱詰作業が行
え、同時に、駆動時の騒音を低減できる。 Moreover, since the spacing between the fruits and vegetables 3 is varied on the side of the suction unit 8, the cups 7 are stretched in advance at a distance from front to back and left and right over the entire length of the conveyance belt 6 for suction. The suction position of the fruit and vegetables 3 and the suction element 9 can be prevented from shifting at the front stage, the fruits and vegetables 3 can be reliably adsorbed, smooth packaging work can be performed, and at the same time noise during driving can be reduced.
加えて、果菜物搬送帯６の果菜物載置位置か

幅方向と搬送方向へ等間隔に離間されているの
で、搬送途中での果菜物３の向き修正作業が容易
となり、箱詰作業の能率を向上させることができ
る。 In addition, since the cups 7 are spaced at equal intervals in the width direction and the transport direction over the entire length of the fruit and vegetable transport belt 6 from the fruit and vegetable placement position to the fruit and vegetable suction position, the fruit and vegetable 3 This makes it easier to correct the orientation of the container, and improves the efficiency of packaging work.
また、果菜物吸着位置で果菜物搬送帯６の各

を箱詰するもよい。 In addition, when each cup 7 of the fruit and vegetable conveying belt 6 is focused at the fruit and vegetable suction position and each fruit and vegetable 3 is brought close to each other, each suction element 9 of the suction unit 8 is moved forward and backward into a predetermined box. Separate each fruit and vegetable 3 at regular intervals...
You can also box it.
