(d) Means for Solving the Problem This invention equips the tilted alignment plate with a vibration generator, and uses the inclined lower edge of the alignment plate as the front edge, and vibrates in the width direction and both sides of the front edge. A position regulating plate is provided upright on each of the edges, and the inclined upper edge of the arranging plate is set as a fruit supply section, and a lateral direction intersecting with the direction of fruit supply to the arranging plate is placed in front of the feeding section. Two conveyor belts that convey in opposite directions are disposed in front and back positions, and guide plates are provided at both ends of these conveyor belts to guide the fruit from one conveyor belt to the other conveyor belt. The fruits are fed to the fruit supply section of the arranging plate while being circulated by the two conveyor belts, and the fruits are arranged while moving toward the front edge side by the inclination and vibration of the arranging plate. The device is characterized in that an uneven zigzag alignment guide surface is formed on the inner surfaces of the pair of opposing position regulating plates on both side edges, and the difference in unevenness is approximately half the length of the aligned fruits, It is a fruit boxing and arranging device in which position regulating plates on both side edges are arranged such that opposing concave portions and convex portions of the guide surface face each other with respect to a position regulating plate on the front edge of the arranging plate. Features.

(e) Function of the invention According to this invention, the fruit is pushed out while moving laterally in a circulating state with two conveyor belts, and is uniformly distributed in the width direction to the feeding section at the inclined upper edge of the alignment plate. When the fruits that have been fed and transferred onto the alignment plate move to the width direction position regulation plate placed at the end of the transfer, they are sequentially arranged in a line along the width direction position regulation plate and are filled in the width direction. Then, the fruits of the second row are arranged in the next row in an orderly manner.

At this time, the concave portions of the pair of opposing position regulating plates on both sides alternately face the convex portions, and the convex portions alternately oppose the concave portions, so that the fruit rows arranged in a straight line in the width direction alternately have convex portions. The parts are aligned on the alignment plate while shifting their positions by the amount by which the parts protrude.

即ち、平面形状の略円形の果実は、交互に半個

Furthermore, due to the inclination and vibration of the alignment plate and the position regulating plates on both side edges, the fruits can be naturally aligned in a staggered manner on the alignment plate, and furthermore, the difference in unevenness is approximately half the length of the fruit. Therefore, the position of the fruit is reliably regulated and the staggered alignment is ensured.Moreover, simply forming a staggered alignment guide surface does not require any special driving means for making the fruit into a staggered pattern. There is no dead space, and the space on the alignment plate can be effectively used to downsize the device.
