According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fruit and vegetable sorting apparatus according to the first or second aspect, wherein the collision surface of the wing has a conveying means on which the fruits and vegetables are placed when the wings collide with the conveyed fruits and vegetables. Is an inclined surface such that the outer peripheral portion is located forward of the inner peripheral portion in the rotation direction with respect to the upper surface of. When the fruits and vegetables are transported by a conveying means, for example, a belt conveyor, the fruits and vegetables are not always placed in the center of the belt conveyor. Therefore, if the collision surface is not inclined with respect to the upper surface of the transporting means when colliding with the fruits and vegetables, the fruits and vegetables may be colliding with the upper surface of the transporting means depending on the placement position of the fruits and vegetables on the transporting means. The fruits and vegetables or wings may be damaged.

Here, when the collision surface collides with the fruits and vegetables, the outer peripheral portion is inclined with respect to the upper surface of the transport means on which the fruits and vegetables are placed, so that the outer peripheral portion is located ahead of the inner peripheral portion in the rotation direction. Therefore, when the fruits and vegetables are located behind the center of the upper surface of the conveying means in the rotation direction of the repelling means, the collision surface repels the fruits and vegetables in a state substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the conveying means, and the fruits and vegetables are further forward in the rotation direction of the repelling means. When located on the side, the collision surface repels the fruits and vegetables by scooping the fruits and vegetables from the upper surface of the transporting means. Thereby, the phenomenon that the fruits and vegetables are caught between the collision surface and the upper surface of the transporting means is suppressed, and damage to the fruits and vegetables or the wings can be reduced.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for sorting fruits and vegetables according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein:
It has a metal central part and a metal mounting part. The mounting portion is to which the wing is fixed, and extends from the center to the outer peripheral side. Assuming that the fruits and vegetables are sandwiched between the collision surface of the wings and the upper surface of the conveyance means, the wings are made of a material having a small rigidity and a cushioning effect in order not to damage the fruits and vegetables, and also from the viewpoint of ease of processing and cost. It is desirable to manufacture by. In such a case, what is damaged when the fruits and vegetables are caught between the collision surface of the wings and the transport means are the wings, not the fruits and vegetables. When the wing collides with the fruits and vegetables, a force in the reverse rotation direction acts on the collision surface of the wing, and a large bending stress is generated mainly in a portion fixed to the rotation axis.

Here, a mounting portion is provided on the rotating shaft to shorten the length of the blade extending in the radially outward direction. Therefore, since the lever becomes smaller, the bending stress generated in the radially inner portion of the blade, which is a fixed portion to the rotation shaft, becomes smaller. This extends the life of the wing. A large bending moment acts on the connection between the center of the rotating shaft and the mounting part due to the force acting on the collision surface of the wing, but this part is metal and has sufficient strength. There is almost no risk of damage.

When the wing is damaged, the wing can be removed from the mounting portion of the rotating shaft and replaced with a spare part. The fruit and vegetable sorting apparatus according to claim 5 is characterized in that:
In the apparatus according to any one of the above, a shock-absorbing member is mounted on the collision surface of the wing. Here, since the cushioning member is attached to the collision surface of the wing, the shock is absorbed when the fruits and vegetables are caught between the collision surface of the wing and the upper surface of the transportation means, and damage to the fruits and vegetables or damage to the wing is reduced. Can be suppressed.

Next, the operation of the vegetable sorting apparatus 1 will be described. The potatoes sent from the previous process are successively placed at the end of the belt conveyor 20 on the upstream side in the transport direction. These potatoes are transported on the belt conveyor 20 to the right side in FIGS. When the potatoes begin to pass through the sorting machine (see FIG. 3), the light from the light-emitting side sensors 31a to 31i is partially blocked by the potatoes. For example, in the case of the potatoes represented by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The side sensors 32e to 32i stop receiving light. This information is sent to the determination circuit 33, and the determination circuit 33 determines the height, that is, the size of the potato from this information. The information on the determined potato size is sent to the control unit 73. The control unit 73 sets the determination circuit 3 in the range of the potato size input from the control panel 74.
It is determined whether or not the size of the potato input from 3 is included, and if so, a rotation command is sent to the motor 41. This rotation command is issued at a time determined from the speed of the belt conveyor 20 and the distance between the optical sensor and the rotary blade 42 in the transport direction. When the motor 41 rotates 72 degrees, the rotation angle judging projection 71a approaches the proximity switch 72, and the proximity switch 72 notifies the control unit 73 of the rotation angle determination projection 71a. The control unit 73 issues a rotation stop command to the brake motor 41 as soon as a signal is input from the proximity switch 72.

The rotation of the motor 41 causes the rotating blades 42
When rotates, the tip of the wing 46 collides with the side of the potato and applies a force to the potato (see FIG. 9). This force F
1 is a force F1a of a component in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction because the collision surface of the wing 46 is inclined such that the upstream side in the transport direction is further away from the potato with respect to a plane parallel to the transport direction.
And a component force F1b directed upstream in the transport direction. Therefore, the inertia force F of the transported potato, which is indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG.
2 and the force F1b applied from the rotating blades 42 in the upstream direction in the transport direction are offset, and the potato is repelled in a direction substantially perpendicular to the transport direction (the direction of the force F1a). The flipped potatoes are put on the small conveyor 52 by the stop plate 51 and are carried to the cardboard 53. When the cardboard 53 becomes full, the operator temporarily stops the small conveyor 52 and replaces it with a new cardboard 53.

First, since five blades 46 are mounted on the rotating shaft, the rotating angle of the rotating shaft required to repel one potato is only 72 degrees. As a result, it is possible to repel the potatoes that are conveyed one after another at high speed. Although the number of blades is five here, it is desirable that the number of blades be an appropriate number depending on parameters such as the diameter of the rotating blades and the size of fruits and vegetables.

Second, the collision surface of the wing 46 has an inclination so that the outer peripheral portion is located ahead of the inner peripheral portion in the rotation direction with respect to the upper surface of the belt 21 when colliding with the potato. Therefore, even when the potato is not placed at the center of the belt 21, when the potato is located behind the center of the upper surface of the belt 21 in the rotation direction, the impact surface is placed almost perpendicular to the upper surface of the belt 21. When the potato repels and the potato is located on the forward side in the rotation direction, the collision surface repels the potato so as to scoop the potato from the upper surface of the belt 21. Thereby, the phenomenon that the potato is caught between the collision surface and the upper surface of the belt 21 is suppressed, so that damage to the potato or the wing 46 is reduced.

Third, since the mounting plate 44 is provided on the rotating shaft, the radial length of the blade 46 is shortened accordingly. Therefore, the stress generated in the radially inner portion (root portion) of the wing 46, which is a fixed portion to the rotating shaft, is small.
This extends the life of the wing 46. The wing 46
A large bending moment acts on the vicinity of the welded portion between the center body 43 of the rotating shaft and the mounting plate 44 due to the impact force generated when the potato collides with the collision surface, but since this portion is made of steel, it has sufficient strength. And is reinforced by the circular rib 45, so that there is almost no risk of damage. The wing 46 is made of vinyl chloride in consideration of ease of processing such as twisting, shock absorption, cost, and the like.

Fourth, since the rotating blades 42 are structured so that the rotating shaft and the blades 46 are connected by screws 47, when the blades 46 are damaged, the blades 46 can be removed from the mounting plate 44 and replaced with spare parts. it can. For this reason, it is not necessary to replace the entire rotary blade 42, the replacement time is shortened, and the cost is advantageous. [Other Embodiments] In the above embodiment, the wings 46 which are not provided with a cushioning member such as a sponge or rubber for protecting fruits and vegetables from impact are employed, but a sponge 48b as shown in FIG. Wings 48 may be employed. A detachable expansion plate 49 is attached to the tip of the wing 48.
(See FIGS. 6 and 7). The expansion plate 49 is formed by attaching sponges 49b to both sides of one side of a main body 49a made of vinyl chloride. When this expansion plate 49 is attached to the wing 48, it is easy to repel long fruits and vegetables such as ginseng. The main body 48a of the wing 48 is made of vinyl chloride.

Further, although the wing 48 and the expansion plate 49 are united, the collision surface between the fruits and vegetables is flat in FIG. 6, but this is cut to correspond to the shape of the fruits and vegetables or the belt 21 is cut. Or the inclination with respect to the upper surface can be increased. Thereby, the direction of the fruits and vegetables to be repelled can be stabilized, and damage to the fruits and vegetables can be suppressed.
