Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for automatically supplying fish (11) to a fish processing machine, comprising a cross-conveyor device (12) having carriers (13) forming receptacles for receiving and transporting individual fish (11), each having the abdomen or spine pointing forward in the transport direction T, to a device (15) for recognizing the respective abdominal/supinal position of said fish (11), and to a turning device (17) for timing incorrectly positioned fish (11) into a uniform abdominal/supinal position of all fish (11), characterized in that additionally a device (16) is provided for measuring the fish thickness and said timing device (17) comprises a first unit (18) for setting up said fish (11) and a second unit (19) for tilting said fish (11), wherein both units (18, 19) are effectively connected to said cross-conveyor device (12) and to said devices (15, 16) for recognizing the respective abdominal/supinal position and for measuring the fish thickness. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding method.
Claims (17)
1. Apparatus (10) for automatically supplying fish (11) to a fish processing machine, comprising a cross-conveyor device (12) having carriers (13) forming receptacles for receiving and transporting individual fish (11), each having the abdomen or spine pointing forwards in the transport direction T, a device (15) for detecting the respective ventral/dorsal position of the fish (11), and a turning device (17) for turning incorrectly positioned fish (11) into a uniform ventral/dorsal position of all fish (11), characterised in that in addition a device (16) for measuring the fish thickness is provided and in that the turning device (17) comprises a first unit (18) for erecting the fish (11) and a second unit (19) for tilting the fish (11), wherein the two units (18, 19) are operatively connected to the cross-conveyor device (12) as well as to the devices (15, 16) for detecting the respective ventral/dorsal position and for measuring the fish thickness.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterised in that the units (18, 19) for erecting and tilting the fish (11) are constructed separately from each other and located one behind the other in the direction of transport T.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the turning device (17) is arranged above the cross-conveyor device (12).
4. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the unit (18) for erecting the fish (11) is movable out of an upper standby position into a lower working position and vice versa.
5. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterised in that the unit (18) for erecting the fish (11) has a pivot device (22) on which at least one erecting element (25) is arranged pivotably.
6. Apparatus according to claim 5, characterised in that several, preferably three erecting elements (25) are spaced apart from each other transversely to the direction of transport T.
7. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterised in that the unit (19) for tilting the fish (11) is movable out of an upper standby position into a lower working position and vice versa.
8. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterised in that the unit (19) for tilting the fish (11) comprises a slide (30) or the like which is designed to be on the one hand pivotable and on the other hand linearly movable in the direction of transport T.
9. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterised in that the cross-conveyor device (12) is an ascending conveyor which is oriented to ascend obliquely in the direction of transport T.
10. Apparatus according to claim 9, characterised in that the inclination of the ascending conveyor is between 20° and 40°, preferably between 25°
and 35° and particularly preferably about 28°.
and 35° and particularly preferably about 28°.
11. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 10, characterised in that the unit (18) for erecting the fish (11) and/or the unit (19) for tilting the fish (11) is constructed and designed to be adjustable transversely to the direction of transport T.
12. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 11, characterised in that the device (16) for measuring the fish thickness has a sensing lever (28) and a rotational speed sensor (29).
13. Method for automatically supplying fish (11) to a fish processing machine, comprising the steps of:
- receiving and transporting the fish (11) in receptacles of a cross-conveyor device (12) formed by carriers (13), each having the abdomen or spine pointing forwards in the transport direction T, - detecting the respective ventral/dorsal position of the fish (11), - turning the incorrectly positioned fish (11) into a uniform ventral/dorsal position of all fish (11), characterised in that in addition the fish thickness is measured and the fish (11) are erected on the basis of the speed of transport V T of the cross-conveyor device (12) on the one hand and the fish thickness on the other hand in a first step by means of a unit (18) for erecting the fish (11), and tilted into the correct position in a subsequent second step by means of a unit (19) for tilting the fish (11).
- receiving and transporting the fish (11) in receptacles of a cross-conveyor device (12) formed by carriers (13), each having the abdomen or spine pointing forwards in the transport direction T, - detecting the respective ventral/dorsal position of the fish (11), - turning the incorrectly positioned fish (11) into a uniform ventral/dorsal position of all fish (11), characterised in that in addition the fish thickness is measured and the fish (11) are erected on the basis of the speed of transport V T of the cross-conveyor device (12) on the one hand and the fish thickness on the other hand in a first step by means of a unit (18) for erecting the fish (11), and tilted into the correct position in a subsequent second step by means of a unit (19) for tilting the fish (11).
14. Method according to claim 13, characterised in that each incorrectly positioned fish (11) for erection is transported and pushed by the carriers (13) of the cross-conveyor device (12) with the leading side against at least one erecting element (25) of the erecting unit (18) lowered out of the upper standby position into the lower working position, so that the fish (11) pushes up with the trailing side against the carrier (13).
15. Method according to claim 14, characterised in that the or each erecting element (25) is moved away from the fish and out of the working position into the standby position when the fish is vertical, dependent on the speed of transport V T and the thickness of the fish.
16. Method according to claim 15, characterised in that the fish standing on its abdomen or spine is transported further vertically, until the fish is tilted into the correct position by a slide of the tilting unit.
17. Method according to claim 16, characterised in that the slide (30) immediately behind the fish (11) to be tilted is moved downwardly into the working position and in the lower position in the direction of transport T at a speed V K which is greater than the speed of transport V T of the cross-conveyor (12).
