However, in the apparatus of Patent Document 1, a guard is disposed on the side of the inverted cardboard box to prevent the laver bundle from collapsing after the cardboard is extracted. When the nori is taken out from the space surrounded by the guard with the guard protruding, there is a problem that the laver bundle must be taken out from a position higher than the work table and on the guard, resulting in poor workability.
Further, the seaweed bundle that has been inverted by the apparatus of Patent Document 2 to remove the cardboard box falls down on the table, and there is a problem that a new scratch is generated on the seaweed.

  In the reversing devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the reversing shaft is connected to the motor via a chain. In such a reversing mechanism using a motor, since the driving force is too strong, if the reversing operation is performed without the cardboard box being positioned at the correct position, the cardboard box will be crushed, the cardboard box will be caught and the device will stop. The seaweed will be damaged. The recovery work for taking out the crushed cardboard box has been a complicated task. In addition, when the reversing mechanism by the motor is operated for a long time, the stop position of the support member of the cardboard box is shifted due to the looseness of the chain, and it is necessary to reset the position adjustment.

  The apparatuses disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 lift a corrugated cardboard box that is inverted on a table, extract nori, and swivel the empty corrugated cardboard box horizontally to a side belt conveyor. Therefore, a space for turning the cardboard box around the table must be made, and the work of placing the laver on the table on the rear conveyor cannot be performed by a plurality of workers, resulting in poor workability. Moreover, when the cardboard box inverted by the apparatus disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 has its bottom surface and upper lid reversed and the nori boxing is performed again, the cardboard box has to be turned upside down and the workability is poor. There was a problem.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a laver extraction facility that can take out laver from a laver box without scratching to improve the work efficiency in order to solve the above-described problems of the prior art.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the seaweed sampling equipment of the present invention is a movable table in which a corrugated cardboard box in which a seaweed is packed is inverted and an upper lid and the seaweed are placed on a placement surface of the movable table. And elevating means for adjusting at least a part of the seaweed to a position protruding from the placement surface.

  The laver extraction equipment of the present invention comprises a reversing means for vertically flipping the top lid and bottom of the cardboard box packed with nori, a moving means for moving the cardboard box to a movable table and lifting the cardboard box from the movable table, The movable table includes elevating means for adjusting at least a part of the seaweed to a position protruding from the placement surface, and a payout means for paying out the empty cardboard box to the outside. .

In this case, the elevating means may be provided with a convex portion and a concave portion on a side surface that intersects the moving direction of the laver.
With the above configuration, nori is not caught in the gap between the movable table and the main casing. For this reason, a laver bundle is caught and the apparatus does not stop, and there is no possibility of damaging the laver.

The elevating means preferably includes a first cylinder mechanism and a second cylinder mechanism.
With the above configuration, the height of the casing body of the elevating means can be set low.

The payout means may be provided with a stopper on the movable table.
With the above configuration, the stopper can be placed on the lower conveyor so that the tip of the stopper becomes a fulcrum of rotation of the cardboard box and the upper lid of the empty cardboard box becomes the upper surface.

The moving means may include an arm that sandwiches at least an upper lid of the cardboard box.
With the above configuration, when the cardboard box is moved, there is no risk that the seaweed will come into contact with the bent portion of the upper lid and be damaged.

Moreover, the said inversion means is good to provide the extrusion bar which suppresses the said upper cover of the said corrugated cardboard box inverted.
When the cardboard box is moved with the above configuration, there is no possibility that the seaweed will come into contact with the bent portion of the upper lid and be damaged.

  The reversing means includes a reversing cage on which the cardboard box is placed, a pinion provided on a rotating shaft of the reversing cage, a rack that meshes with the pinion, and an actuator that moves the rack back and forth. Good.

  Due to the above configuration, the driving force of the reversing operation is weaker than that of the conventional motor, so when the cardboard box shifts to the reversing operation without being positioned at the correct position, the reversing cage stops in contact with the cardboard box, and the cardboard box There is no risk of crushing.

According to the laver extraction facility of the present invention having the above-described configuration, it can be extracted from the cardboard box without damaging the laver.
Since the inverted empty cardboard box is turned upside down so that the opening faces upward, the boxing workability is improved.

As shown in FIG. 3, the reversing means 20 includes a casing body 21, a reversing part 22, and an extrusion part 30. In the present embodiment, two conveying means 12 are attached to the sides of the reversing means 20. The conveying means 12 is a belt conveyor that conveys the cardboard box 14 from the outside to the laver extraction facility 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the cardboard box 14 is transported from the transport means 12 toward the center reversing means 20 (± X direction). In addition to the structure which arrange | positions two conveyance means 12 like this embodiment, the structure attached to any one side of the inversion means 20 may be sufficient.

  The reversing unit 22 includes a reversing cage 24, an actuator 26, and a rotating unit 28. The reverse cage 24 includes an upper surface support member 24a, a side surface support member 24b, and a lower surface support member 24c. An upper surface support member 24a is connected to the upper end of the side surface support member 24b at a right angle, and a lower surface support member 24c is connected to the lower end at a right angle. As a result, the reversing cage 24 becomes a frame having a U-shaped cross section when viewed from the side. The reversing cage 24 is a cage that receives the cardboard box 14 transported from the transport means 12 disposed on the side, and has a width shorter than the longitudinal side of the cardboard box 14. An upper surface cover 25 having an L-shaped cross section is formed on the upper portion of the side surface support member 24b and the upper surface support member 24a. The top cover 25 is a plate that supports the seaweed bundle exposed on the opening surface of the inverted cardboard box 14, and has a width longer than the side in the longitudinal direction of the cardboard box 14.

  The rotating unit 28 includes a shaft 28a, a bearing 28b, and a pinion 28c. The shaft 28a is formed in a crank shape and is disposed at a position that serves as a fulcrum for the reversing cage 24 to rotate. Both ends of the shaft 28a are rotatably fixed to the casing body 21 via a pair of bearings 28b. As shown in FIG. 4, a pinion 28c is formed on the left bearing 28b of the pair of bearings 28b. The pinion 28c can mesh with a rack 27 described later to reverse the reversing cage 24.

  The actuator 26 is a drive source for the rotating unit 28 that serves as a fulcrum for reversing the reversing cage 24. For example, a cylinder 26a and a rod 26b can be used. A rack 27 is attached to the tip of the rod 26b. The rack 27 has a gear surface disposed on the pinion 28c side along the protruding direction of the rod 26b. As shown in FIG. 4A, when the reversing cage 24 is in the cardboard box receiving position, the rod 26b of the actuator 26 protrudes from the cylinder 26a. When the rod 26b of the actuator 26 is retracted as shown in FIG. 4 (2), the rack 27 moves downward from above, and the pinion 28c rotates clockwise in the figure. With the axis of the shaft 28a as the center of reversal, the reversing gauge 24 is reversed 180 degrees from the conveying means side to the lifting means side.

  The pushing portion 30 includes a pushing arm 32 and an actuator 36. In the push-out arm 32, upper and lower support members 34a and 34b are attached to the tips of a pair of shafts 33, respectively. The upper and lower support members 34a and 34b are formed by bending from the tip of the shaft 33 toward the reversing cage 24 at a position that does not interfere with the reversing operation of the reversing cage 24, and are in contact with the upper lid 15 and the back surface of the reversed cardboard box 14. is there. The actuator 36 is a drive source that drives the push arm 32 so as to move forward and backward from the conveying means 12 side to the lifting means 60 side direction (± Y-axis direction in FIG. 3 (3)). The actuator 36 is attached to the upper surface of the casing body 21. For example, a rodless cylinder can be used as the actuator 36, and a pair of slide bearings and a shaft 36b are formed in parallel around the rodless cylinder 36a.

  FIG. 5 (1) shows a side view of the moving means and the lifting / lowering means, and (2) shows a plan view of the moving means. FIG. 6A shows a front view of the moving means and the lifting means, and FIG. 6B shows a side view of the arm of the moving means. As shown in the figure, the moving means 40 includes an arm part 42 and a drive part 50.

  The arm portion 42 includes a pair of arms 43 that sandwich the front and back surfaces of the cardboard box 14 and an actuator 44. The arm 43 includes a pad 43 a that contacts the bottom surface side and the upper lid side of the front and rear surfaces of the cardboard box 14. The actuator 44 is a drive source that adjusts the separation distance between the pair of arms 43, and is set in advance so that the separation distance is slightly shorter than the length of the side surface 14b of the cardboard box 14 when the cardboard box 14 is sandwiched. .

  The drive unit 50 includes a first actuator 52 and a second actuator 54. As shown in FIG. 5A, the first actuator 52 serves as a drive source for moving the arm portion 42 back and forth in the ± Z-axis direction. The first actuator 52 includes an air cylinder 52a disposed at the center of the arm portion 42 in plan view, and slide bearings and shafts 52b disposed at four corners. With such a configuration, the first actuator 52 raises the cardboard box 14 on the lifting means 60 from the position B to the position C as shown in FIG. Further, the arm 43 is lowered from the position D to the origin position A (the position of the cardboard box 14 pushed out by the pushing portion 30 of the reversing means 20).

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the second actuator 54 serves as a drive source for moving the arm portion 42 back and forth in the ± Y-axis direction. For example, a rodless cylinder can be used as the second actuator 54, and a pair of slide bearings and a shaft 54b are formed in parallel with the rodless cylinder 54a interposed therebetween. With this configuration, the second actuator 54 moves forward to B while holding the cardboard box 14 at the origin position A by the arm portion 42 as shown in FIG. Further, the empty cardboard box 14 is moved backward while being held by the arm portion 42 from the position C to the position D.

  The elevating means 60 includes a casing body 62, a movable table 64, and an actuator 70. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the movable table. The movable table 64 is a table that receives the laver 16 on the upper lid 15 side of the inverted cardboard box 14 and is connected to the actuator 70 so that the height position of the horizontal table surface is variable.

  The actuator 70 includes a first cylinder mechanism 72 and a second cylinder mechanism 76. As shown in FIG. 7, a pair of first cylinder mechanisms 72 are formed on the back surface of the operation table 64 so as to sandwich a second cylinder mechanism 76 described later. The first cylinder mechanism 72 includes a cylinder 73 and a rod 74, and the protruding amount of the rod 74 can be arbitrarily changed. A support member 75 is attached to the tip of the rod 74 of the first cylinder mechanism 72. The support member 75 is connected to the tips of the pair of rods 74. A second cylinder mechanism 76 is formed near the center of the support member 75. The second cylinder mechanism 76 includes a cylinder 77 and a rod 78. The rod 78 of the second cylinder mechanism 76 is configured to move to a two-stage position of expansion and contraction. A movable table 64 is attached to the tip of the rod 78 of the second cylinder mechanism 76. With such a configuration, the actuator 70 can move the table surface of the movable table 64 downward to an arbitrary position with the upper surface of the casing body 62 as the upper limit. Further, the height of the casing main body 62 of the lifting / lowering means 60 can be set low by the configuration in which the actuator for disposing the movable table 64 below the upper surface of the main body casing 62 is moved forward and backward by two types of cylinder mechanisms.

  The elevating means 60 is provided with a convex portion 65 a on the side surface of the casing main body 62 that intersects the moving direction of the cardboard box 14 by the moving means 40 (the advancing and retreating direction by the second actuator 54). A concave portion 65b is provided on a side surface of the movable table 64 and corresponding to the convex portion 65a. The concave portions 65 a and the convex portions 65 b are concave and convex portions that are formed along the advancing and retreating direction of the movable table 64 and prevent the laver bundle from being sandwiched between the movable table 64 and the casing body 62.

  A pair of cardboard box detection sensors 65 c are attached to the side surface of the cardboard box mounting surface of the main body casing 62. The cardboard box detection sensor 65c is a sensor for confirming that the cardboard box has been carried onto the movable table 64 by the moving means 40 between the pair of sensors.

  A pair of seaweed detection sensors 65d are attached to the inside of the casing main body 62 where the movable table 64 moves up and down, and above and below the side surface between the convex portions 65b. The seaweed detection sensor 65d is a sensor that detects a laver bundle on the movable table 64 that is lowered between the pair of sensors.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the dispensing means, (1) is a side view, and (2) is a sectional view of the slide mechanism. As shown in the figure, the payout means 80 includes a table 82, a stopper 83, a slide mechanism 84, a rotating portion 90, and an actuator 98. The table 82 is a table for receiving the inverted cardboard box 14 opened by the moving means 40. The table 82 is moved by the slide mechanism 84 between a position A where the cardboard box 14 where the arm portion 42 of the moving means 40 is opened and a position B (origin position) where the cardboard box 14 is discharged. The table 82 is inclined from the horizontal direction to a predetermined angle by the rotating unit 90 and the actuator 98.

  The slide mechanism 84 moves the table 82 forward and backward between the origin position B and the position A where the cardboard box 14 where the arm portion 42 of the moving means 40 is opened. As an example, the rodless cylinder 84a is The pair of slide bearings 84b and the shaft are formed in parallel with the rodless cylinder 84a interposed therebetween.

  The stopper 83 is a member that supports the side surface of the cardboard box 14 on the inclined table 82, and protrudes in the orthogonal direction (+ Z-axis direction) from the table 82 surface. The length of the stopper (the amount of protrusion from the table surface) is set such that the opening surface of the cardboard box 14 that falls downward while rotating from the table 82 faces the upper surface.

  The rotary shaft 90 serves as a fulcrum for tilting the table 82 from the horizontal direction to a predetermined angle in order to pay out the cardboard box 14 from the payout position B of the table 82 in the payout direction (+ X axis direction). The rotating shaft 90 includes a shaft 92 and a bearing 94.

  The actuator 98 includes a cylinder 99 and a rod 100. The tip of the rod 100 is connected to the lower surface of the table 82. By moving the actuator 98 back and forth, the table 82 can be tilted from the horizontal direction to a predetermined angle with the rotating portion 90 as a fulcrum.

Next, the operation of the seaweed sampling facility according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described below. FIG. 9 is an operation flowchart of the seaweed sampling equipment of the present invention.
The upper cover 15 of the cardboard box 14 in which a plurality of seaweed bundles are packed in multiple stages (two stages) is opened, and the cardboard box 14 is carried into the reversing means 20 by the conveying means 12 (step 100).

  The cardboard box 14 is turned upside down by the reversing means 20, that is, the upper lid 15 and the bottom surface are reversed (step 120). FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of the inverting means. As shown in FIG. 10A, the cardboard box 14 with the upper lid 15 opened is carried into the lower surface support member 24c of the reversing cage 24 arranged at the origin position C and stopped. As shown in FIG. 10 (2), the actuator 26 is driven, and the reversing cage 24 is reversed 180 degrees with the rotating portion 28 as a fulcrum. Specifically, when the rod 26b of the actuator 26 is reduced, the rack 27 connected to the tip also moves in the reduction direction (−Z axis direction) of the rod 26b. The pinion 28c meshing with the rack 27 rotates clockwise in the figure. As the pinion 28c rotates, the shaft 28a also rotates clockwise, and the reversing cage 24 reverses 180 degrees in the direction of arrow A (from the conveying means side to the moving means side). When the cardboard box 14 placed on the reversing cage 24 is reversed, the upper surface cover 25 of the upper surface support member 24a, the upper lid 15 and the laver bundle come into contact with each other. After inversion, the inverted cardboard box 14 is placed on the upper surface support member 24a as shown in FIG. 10 (3). Next, the inverted cardboard box 14 is moved forward to an arm portion of a moving means (not shown). The actuator 36 of the pushing part 30 of the reversing means 20 is driven to move the pushing arm 32 forward from the origin position D. The upper cover 15 of the cardboard box 14 is pushed out to the arm portion of the moving means (not shown) outside the casing main body 21 in a state where it is in contact with the support members 34a and 34b of the push-out arm 32. Thereafter, the push-out unit 30 reverses the actuator 36 to retract to the origin position D as shown in FIG. Further, the reversing cage 24 is reversed and returned to the origin position C. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10 (5), when the rod 26b of the actuator 26 is extended, the rack 27 connected to the tip also moves in the extension direction (+ Z-axis direction) of the rod 26b. The pinion 28c engaged with the rack 27 rotates counterclockwise. As the pinion 28c rotates, the shaft 28a also rotates counterclockwise, and the reversing cage 24 reverses 180 degrees in the direction of arrow B.

  Next, the inverted cardboard box is moved to the lifting means (step 140). 11 and 12 are explanatory views of the moving means. As shown in FIG. 11 (1), the arm portion 42 of the moving means 40 stands by at the origin position E. When the cardboard box 14 is carried below the arm portion 42, the first actuator 52 is advanced in the −Z-axis direction to lower the arm portion 42. After descending, the actuator 44 of the arm portion 42 is driven to narrow the separation distance between the pair of arms 43 and sandwich the cardboard box 14.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (2), in a state where the cardboard box 14 is sandwiched between the pair of arms 43, the second actuator 54 is driven to advance the arm portion 42 onto the movable table 64 of the elevating means 60 (+ Y Axially). At this time, the pad 43a of the arm 43 is moved while being in contact with the bottom surface side of the cardboard box 14 and the bottom surface side of the cardboard box 14 and the upper lid side, so there is no possibility that the seaweed is in contact with the bent portion of the upper lid and damaged.

The empty cardboard box is moved to the dispensing means and the seaweed is extracted (step 160).
First, when a pair of nori detection sensors 65d attached to the upper and lower sides of the convex portion 65b inside the casing body 62 where the movable table 64 moves up and down detects the nori 16, a detection signal is sent to the moving means 40. On the other hand, when the seaweed 16 is not detected, the corrugated cardboard box 14 is clogged with seaweed, and therefore the cardboard box 14 is vibrated by the arm portion 42 of the moving means 40 to drop the seaweed to the lifting means 60 side.

Based on the detection signal, the first actuator 52 of the moving means 40 is retracted in the + Z-axis direction as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12A, the second actuator 54 is further driven to retract the arm portion 42 to the origin position E (−Y axis direction). After the arm portion 42 moves forward, the table 82 of the payout means 80 slides and is arranged below the origin position E of the arm portion 42.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12 (2), the actuator 44 of the arm portion 42 is driven to increase the distance between the pair of arms 43, thereby opening the cardboard box 14. The opened cardboard box 14 is placed on the table 82 of the payout means 80.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of the sampling means. When the cardboard box 14 is placed on the movable table 64 by the moving means 40, a pair of cardboard box detection sensors 65c provided on the side surface of the cardboard box placement surface of the main body casing 62 detect the cardboard box 14 and detect it. A signal is sent to the lifting means 60. Based on the detection signal, the rods 74 and 78 of the first and second cylinder mechanisms 72 and 76 of the elevating means 60 are moved backward. As a result, the movable table 64 descends from the upper surface of the casing body 62 (FIG. 13 (1)) to the lowest layer (FIG. 13 (2)). The nori 16 on the movable table 64 is arranged at a position where the tip of the upper nori bundle of the two-stage stack protrudes from the upper surface of the casing body 62. Next, the amount of protrusion of the seaweed 16 is adjusted in consideration of the state of the seaweed.

  When the hardness is high, the seaweed is not easily collapsed when it is pulled out of the cardboard box, and the seaweed bundle stands upright without support. On the other hand, when the seaweed is soft, it tends to collapse after being pulled out of the cardboard box, and the seaweed bundle cannot stand upright without support.

  First, in the state where the hardness of the seaweed 16 is soft and the bundle is easy to collapse unless supported, only the first cylinder mechanism 72 is driven as shown in FIG. Specifically, the protruding amount of the rod 74 is adjusted so that the lower part of the upper laver bundle is positioned within the casing body 62. As a result, the upper laver bundle is supported by the casing main body 62 and does not collapse. Therefore, the operator can easily extract the upper laver bundle. After the upper nori bundle is extracted, the rod 78 of the second cylinder mechanism 76 is advanced as shown in FIG. 13 (4) to stop the lower nori bundle below the casing body 62. After extracting the latter laver bundle, as shown in FIG. 13 (5), the rod 74 of the first cylinder mechanism 72 is advanced to the maximum protruding amount, and the movable table 64 is raised to the upper surface of the casing body 62.

  Next, when there is no possibility of collapsing in a state where the hardness of the seaweed is high, only the rod 74 of the first cylinder mechanism 72 is advanced to the maximum protruding amount as shown in FIG. The position of the movable table 64 in which the rod 74 is advanced to the maximum protruding amount is adjusted in advance to a position where the lower surface of the upper laver bundle is arranged at the same height as the upper surface of the casing body 62. Thus, the operator can easily extract the upper laver bundle. 13 (5), when the rod 78 of the second cylinder mechanism 76 is advanced, the movable table 64 is disposed on the upper surface of the casing body 62, and the lower surface of the latter laver bundle is the same as the upper surface of the casing body 62. Placed at height.

Dispose of the empty cardboard box upside down. (Step 180).
FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of the payout means. As shown in FIG. 14A, the table 82 that has received the empty cardboard box 14 below the arm portion 42 of the moving means 40 is moved to the payout position G by the slider mechanism.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14 (2), the actuator 98 is driven to advance the rod 100. As the rod 100 moves forward, the table 82 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. The cardboard box 14 on the table 82 moves downward on the table 82, and the side surface is supported by the stopper 83.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (3), the table 82 rotates from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction and stops. The cardboard box 14 on the table 82 is reversed with the tip of the stopper 83 as a fulcrum.
As shown in FIG. 14 (4), the cardboard box 14 is placed on the lower conveyor 101 so that the upper lid 15 is on the upper surface.

According to such a laver extraction facility of the present invention, the amount of protrusion of the seaweed from the mounting surface is adjusted by the lifting means according to the state of the seaweed, so that it can be extracted from the cardboard box without damaging the seaweed.
