Problems to be Solved by the Invention Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1987-77412, which is a prior art, relates to an egg tray transfer device.
The eggs arranged in the horizontal direction are suctioned and held by a vacuum cup, and the horizontal ends of the egg tray are held and supported from the left and right outside by gripper arms of a lifting head assembly, and the egg tray and eggs are lifted and moved. In this device, the actuation device that sucks and holds the eggs and the actuation device of the gripper arm that holds the egg tray are configured separately, so the holding device has a complicated structure, which increases the cost. The drawback was that the gripper arm located on the outside got in the way when putting it in.

The fruits 64 that are sorted by size while being transferred on the receivers 6 of the sorting device 8 are taken out by overturning each row of receivers 6 onto the drawer conveyor 7 of the relevant size class, and the drawer conveyor 7 is placed on one side. Transfer and alignment device 9
When the vibrating conveyor section 15 vibrates and transfers the particles, the particles are spread in the entire width direction and are evenly supplied to the three transfer paths 17 of the alignment conveyor section 18. When the vibrating conveyor section 15 vibrates and transfers the particles, they are aligned and transferred one by one to the three transfer paths 17 of the alignment conveyor section 18. fruit 64
When the sensor 25 detects a persimmon fruit 64 with the calyx facing upward, the air cylinder 22 of the reversing device 24 is controlled and extended, causing the rotating roll 20 to protrude upward, and the persimmon fruit 64 is When the upper side of the persimmon fruit 64 is rotated in the counter-transfer direction C by the rotation of the roll 2 and the transfer action of the belt of the alignment conveyor section 18 in the transfer direction C and turned over with the stem side facing down, the roll 20 is an air cylinder 22
A fruit 64 whose lower calyx is turned downward due to the contraction of
Transfer to the downstream side. For this reason, the fruits 64 are aligned with their stems facing down and are aligned one by one at the end of the conveyor section 18 in the transfer direction. From there, each piece is sucked and held and transferred.
As shown in FIG. 8a, the sheet 2 is fed out one by one by the feeder 33 and is shifted to the left and right in each horizontal row on the sheet 2 which is conveyed at fixed intervals by the sheet conveyor 12 located below the alignment device 9. The sheets 2 on which the fruits 64 are arranged in five rows in a staggered manner are transferred to a predetermined position A on which the fruits 64 are placed. On the other hand, the case conveyor 14 that has been supplied by sliding the cardboard case 5 on the chute 13 takes over and transfers it, and when the leading cardboard case 5 reaches a predetermined position B, the controlled lift device 57 moves the chain 52 of the case conveyor 14. The receiving surface 53 rises from a position lower than the receiving surface 53.
At the same time as the cardboard case 5 is floated to a slightly higher position, the stopper device 58 raises the stop plate 60 by the extension of the air cylinder 59, thereby stopping the transfer of the following boxes. As the chain 52 continues to rotate and transfer, the cases 5 that are being transferred one after another are closely aligned behind the cardboard cases 5 that have come into contact with the stop plate 6, and the chain 52 has its receiving surface 53 aligned with the cases 5. It rotates while sliding between it and the bottom surface.

When the fruit 64 is placed in the predetermined position A and the cardboard case 5 is placed in the predetermined position B, the air cylinder 48 of the packaging device is retracted, and the carrier 1 in the standby position above the predetermined position A extends the air cylinder 40. Each fruit suction body 3 presses the fruit 64 from above, and the sheet suction body 4 presses the sheet 2, and each electromagnetic valve is controlled and the suction negative of the vacuum pump 42 is lowered. Apply pressure to adsorb it, retract the air cylinder 40 and float to a predetermined height,
When the air cylinder 48 is extended and moved to a predetermined position B and stopped, the lift device 57 holding the cardboard case 5 on the receiver 56 moves to the highest position of 5 levels by the extension of the air cylinder 54. At the same time as the carrier 1 rises and stops, the air cylinder 40 of the carrier 1 extends and lowers the suction box 44, and the suction-moved sheet 2 lands on the inner bottom surface of the cardboard case 5, and the suction body 3 and the suction box body 44 are lowered. 4 and operate the solenoid valve to release the suction and release the air cylinder 4.
At the same time, the lift device retracts the air cylinder 54 and lowers the cardboard case 5, and while the adsorbents 3 and 4 of the carrier 1 move laterally, the cardboard case 5 When the chain 52 which does not collide with the upper end of the flap portion 51 descends to a position slightly higher than the receiving surface 53 and stops, the carrier 1 retracts the air cylinder 48 and returns to the predetermined position A to adsorb the next sheet 2 and the fruit 64. , when floating, moving laterally and stopping at a predetermined position B, the lift device 57
The lift device 57 moves up to the position where the sheet 2 and the fruit 64 should be loaded into the second stage in the case 5 (as shown in the fifth figure) and loads the sheets 2 and fruits 64 into the carrier 1. Similarly, for the third time, the lift device 57 When it rises to the height where it is to be stuffed into the top three-tier stack and finishes packing, the next step is to descend to the lowest of the five levels, so the bottom of the packed cardboard cases 5 is placed on the case conveyor. 1
At the same time that the stop plate 60 of the stopper device 58 descends to send the next cardboard case 5 onto the lift device 57, the stopper device 58 receives the receiving surface 53 of the chain 52 of No. 5
8 is for feeding intermittently every case. After filling the fruit, the cardboard case 5 has a grade name printed on it by a horizontal printing device 61 and a front printing device 62, and is transported by a conveyor 63 in an orthogonal direction. The cardboard cases 5 packed by the packing equipment provided for each class are transported by the conveyor 63, and then folded inside the flap part 51 by the sealing equipment, stapled or glued, and shipped. It is something that
