Description

  The present invention relates to a tray packing of dumplings that are molded and delivered from a dumpling molding machine, and more particularly to an upright posture holding device for storing and packaging dumplings arranged in a tray in an individually packaged state.

  Conventionally, after dumplings that have been formed and dumped sequentially by a dumpling molding machine are placed on a conveyor for transportation such as a belt conveyor and transported raw to the tray packing process, or steamed or baked during transport by the conveyor Then, it is transported to a tray packing process, and a predetermined number of sheets are arranged and packed in a tray.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, when disturbance occurs in the alignment state or interval of the dumplings conveyed by the conveyor, the dumplings adhere to each other in the middle of conveyance, and support occurs in steaming, baking or tray packing. Separately from the conveyor for conveyance, an alignment / feed conveyor having alignment bars arranged at regular intervals is provided, and the dumplings are arranged at regular intervals by the alignment bar and conveyed to a tray packing process through a baking machine etc. There has been proposed an apparatus that sequentially drops the pieces onto the tray.

Further, in Patent Document 2, since the dumplings to be transported are sequentially dropped, adjacent dumplings are overlapped or excessively separated, and it is difficult to align them at equal intervals in the tray. In order to prevent, the front end side portion of the conveyor for transportation is supported by a transport plate having a charging roller so as to be able to advance and retreat, and the dumplings sent in an aligned state to the front end side portion on the transport plate are It has been proposed that the dumplings in an aligned state are dropped into a tray and packaged so as to be left in place by a relatively high-speed retreat of the transport plate and the front end portion of the conveyor.

  Each of the proposed dumpling tray packing devices stores dumplings transported by a transporting conveyor as they are dropped from the conveyor into the tray, and each dumpling is a conveyor. Even if it is sent from the front end by feeding, it falls after the upper part of the dumpling starts to tilt along with the turning feeding of the front end in order to turn in the reverse direction at the front end of the conveyor. Therefore, the dumplings are liable to tilt or fall during the fall, and it is difficult to maintain the standing posture. For this reason, when the trays are packed and packaged in a state in which the standing posture is maintained, the operator needs to modify the trays, and the tray packing operation is troublesome.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and when dumplings transported by a conveyor are sent out from the conveyor and dropped downward, the dumplings are not tilted while being held in an upright position. It is possible to provide an upright posture holding device for tray packing of dumplings that can be dropped into a lower tray and can easily be packed in a tray with the upright posture maintained.

  The standing posture holding device for tray packing of dumplings of the present invention that solves the above problems is to sequentially hold the dumplings fed from the dumpling molding machine in a standing posture and convey them at a predetermined interval from the front end. A dumpling feeding conveyor to be sent out, and a longitudinal feeding section that faces the front end of the dumpling feeding conveyor at a distance corresponding to the thickness of the dumpling and faces downward from a height position above the loading surface of the dumpling feeding conveyor. The dumplings fed from the front end portion of the dumpling feed conveyor by the longitudinal feeding section are sandwiched between the dumping feeding section for reversing the front end section and are sent down in a state where the standing posture is maintained. The dumping means and the tray for dumpling packaging to be supplied are intermittently fed by a length corresponding to the interval between the storage parts in the tray, and one storage is provided below the dumpling dropping part of the dumpling feeding conveyor. Part And a tray feed conveyer is temporarily stopped so as to location, characterized in that to be able to accommodated darken in said tray in a state where the dumplings conveyed and held in vertical position by the dumplings feed conveyor.

  According to the standing posture holding device for tray packing of dumplings, the dumplings conveyed at regular intervals by the dumpling feeding conveyor are sent from the front end of the dumpling feeding conveyor and dropped downward, When approximately half of the thickness direction of the dumpling reaches the turn transfer line portion for reversal, the dumpling gradually starts to tilt forward according to the radius of the turn transfer line portion, and dropping means disposed opposite to the front end portion At the same time, the dumpling is sandwiched between both by the feeding action of the downward feeding section of the longitudinal feeding section and the feeding action of the forward transfer section of the front end. It is sent down while maintaining the standing posture. On the other hand, a tray for dumpling packaging that is intermittently fed by a tray feed conveyor is stopped below the dropping position and is waiting, and the dumplings that are fed down in a standing posture as described above are stored in the tray. It is dropped and stored while maintaining the standing posture.

  When the dumping of the dumplings is completed once, the tray feeding conveyor performs intermittent feeding corresponding to the distance between the storage units inside the tray, and the next storage unit is located below the dropping position. Then stop. And when the dumplings on the dumpling feeding conveyor are sent out from the front end, similarly to the above, the dumplings sent out are the forward transfer section for reversing the front end of the conveyor and the vertical feeding section of the dropping means in front of it. And are dropped down while standing, and dropped and stored while standing in the storage section in the tray. In this way, the dumplings conveyed at intervals by the dumpling feed conveyor can be dropped into the tray and stored so as to keep the standing posture.

  In the above-described standing posture holding device for tray packing of dumplings, the dumpling feeding conveyor is an endlessly rotating belt conveyor, and a plurality of dumplings intermittently fed in parallel from a dumpling forming machine are duplicated. It is preferable to provide a width-shifting device that is transported in a row and gradually shifts at least one row of dumplings to another row of dumplings during the transportation. As a result, dumplings that are sent out in parallel at a certain interval from the dumpling molding machine can be transported while being brought closer to the interval according to the row interval of the storage unit in the tray in the middle of the transport, and from the front end portion The dumplings to be delivered can be held in a standing posture as described above in a double row and efficiently dropped into the tray for storage.

  In the standing posture holding apparatus for tray packing of the dumplings, the dropping means is a conveyor belt having a width corresponding to the dumpling feeding conveyor, and is sent from the front end portion of the dumpling feeding conveyor in the longitudinal feeding section. It is preferable that the dumpling is placed between the front transfer portion and the forward transfer line portion so as to be sent downward at the same speed as the forward transfer portion. Thereby, without applying an excessively strong pressure, the said dumpling can be pinched | interposed between the said round transfer line part and the said vertical feed part, and can be sent down below.

  In the standing posture holding apparatus for tray packing of the dumplings, the tray feeding conveyor is intermittently detected each time the dumplings on the dumpling feeding conveyor are detected by a sensor provided near the front end of the dumpling feeding conveyor. Suppose that feeding is performed by a length corresponding to the interval between the storage portions in the tray and then stopped. Thus, every time the dumplings conveyed by the dumpling feed conveyor are detected, the dumplings are intermittently sent by a length corresponding to the interval between the tray storage units, and an empty storage unit waits below the dropping unit. Therefore, the dumplings can be securely dropped and stored one by one in each storage section without overlapping.

  In the standing posture holding device for tray packing of dumplings, it is preferable that the dropping means for raising the dumplings is provided such that the interval between the longitudinal feeding portion and the front end portion of the dumpling feeding conveyor is adjustable. Thereby, the said space | interval can be adjusted according to the size of the dumpling shape | molded and conveyed from the dumpling molding machine.

  As described above, according to the standing posture holding device for tray packing of dumplings according to the present invention, the vertical feeding section by the dropping means is disposed opposite to the front end portion of the dumpling feeding conveyor, so that the dumpling feeding is performed. The vertical feeding section prevents the dumplings sequentially fed from the front end of the conveyor from falling, and the dumpling is sandwiched between the vertical feeding section and the forward transfer section for reversing the front end to stand upright. By dropping it in the held state, the dumplings can be dropped and stored in the tray while being held in an upright position, and the tray can be stuffed with the dumplings upright without the need for rework by the operator. Can improve efficiency.
