Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for packing fish, particularly small fish such as sardines and saury, in a fish box for transportation so that the fish can be efficiently thrown into the box with their directions aligned. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When storing harvested fish in a fish box for transportation, if the fish are packed in a box with the fish in different directions, not only will the storage rate decrease, but it will also take time and effort to remove the fish from the box. Therefore, it is necessary to store the fish bodies aligned in the length direction. For this reason, conventionally, the fish carried on the belt are manually packed in the box, but not only the efficiency is low, but also the environment of the boxing work such as the smell and water of the fish is bad, and automation is demanded.

As a device for aligning the direction of such a fish body, one that makes use of the friction between the scale of the fish and the texture of the slanted belt so that the head of the fish body comes first while sliding down on the belt (for example, (JP-A-59-82042)
Or, aligning plates are provided in parallel in the alignment duct at intervals according to the size of the fish, the fish is poured with water toward the end face of the aligning plate, the fish are inserted into the gaps between the aligning plates, and aligned in the length direction. To be discharged (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-545
No. 51) is proposed.

[0004]

However, the belts and the alignment ducts in these fish aligning devices not only transport the fish but also change the direction of the fish while feeding the fish on it, so that the fish can rotate. It has a drawback that it requires a feed length for movement, the entire device is large and the installation space is large. In addition, when packing in a fish box for transportation, the fish bodies may be aligned in the length direction, and the head-to-tail directions may not necessarily be aligned. The present invention ensures that the fish bodies are aligned in the longitudinal direction with a small device.

[0005]

Therefore, according to the present invention, there is provided a fish body aligner provided with an alignment roller having an axial fin at a lower portion of a loading port for feeding a fish body, and a fish body discharged from the fish body aligner. It is provided with a connecting conveyor for receiving and an impeller having axial fins, in which the fish from the connecting conveyor are sequentially inserted between the fins to hold them in the same direction and to discharge the fish in accordance with the rotation. At the same time, a receiving plate for receiving the fish discharged from the communication conveyor and a supporting side edge are rotatably attached to the discharging side of the receiving plate, and the free edge on the impeller side moves up and down according to the rotation of the impeller. With the rotating plate, the fish discharged from the connecting conveyor are supplied to the impeller via the receiving plate and the rotating plate, and the fish discharged from the impeller in the same direction are discharged by the sending conveyor. Supply to fish box Unishi to have.

[0006]

Therefore, the fish loaded into the fish aligner from the loading port is discharged along the fins of the aligning roller with the longitudinal direction of the fish aligned with the axial direction of the aligning roller to the connecting conveyor. However, since the directions may not match with each other, they are further discharged from the connecting conveyor onto the receiving plate, and are sequentially supplied between the fins of the impeller via the rotating plate, and the receiving plate is rotated by rotating the rotating plate up and down. It is possible to supply fish from the impeller to the impeller and adjust the flow of the fish so that the fish can be surely aligned in the direction to be discharged from the impeller and the connecting conveyor can be shortened.

[0007]

EXAMPLE An example shown in the drawings will be specifically described. Reference numeral 1 is a base on which a fish aligner 2 is provided. Reference numeral 3 denotes an input port, and 4 and 4 are alignment rollers provided in parallel in a lower portion of the input port 3. In this embodiment, two alignment rollers are arranged side by side, and between the end plates 42 on both sides provided on the rotary shaft 41. A plurality of axial fins 43, for example, six radial fins 43 are radially attached and mutually rotated outward as indicated by arrows. Reference numeral 5 is a short connecting conveyor provided below the discharging portion of the fish aligner 2 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the aligning rollers, and 6 is an impeller provided on the discharging end side of the connecting conveyor 5, which is a rotary shaft 6
A radial number of axial fins 63 are provided between the side plates 62 provided on both sides of 1 in accordance with the number of rotations (in the illustrated embodiment, four are shown, but about 4 to 8 may be used). It is attached to and is rotated outward as indicated by the arrow.

Reference numeral 7 is a receiving plate, which is slightly inclined so as to receive the fish discharged from the discharge side of the connecting conveyor 5 and slide it toward the impeller 6 side. Reference numeral 8 denotes a rotating plate, one supporting side edge of which is attached to the discharge side edge of the receiving plate 7 so as to be rotatable in a hinge manner, for example, and the other free edge of which is the fin 6 of the impeller 6.
It is arranged to face the edge of No. 3 with a slight gap. Reference numeral 9 denotes engaging claws attached to the rear surfaces of both ends of the rotating plate 8, which is the impeller 6
The fin 63 is extended to a position where it can be engaged.
Reference numeral 10 is a stopper of the rotating plate 8, 11 is a delivery conveyor provided below the impeller 6, and receives the fish discharged from the impeller 6. This delivery conveyor may be configured integrally with the present device. The existing conveyor may be placed under the impeller. Reference numeral 12 is an impeller drive motor, and 13 is a fish box.

When the aligning rollers 4 and 4 of the fish aligner 2 are rotated in the direction of the arrow and the fish F is thrown in through the throwing port 3 in a random direction, the fish takes an axial posture along the fins 43 of the aligning roller 4. It falls and is discharged onto the connecting conveyor 5 at right angles to the conveyor feeding direction. The fish that has fallen laterally on the fins 43 of the aligning rollers 4 is dropped between the fins 43 by the rotation of the aligning rollers 4 and is aligned in the axial direction, and is thrown onto the fish body held between the fins 43. The formed fish bodies slide on the other fish bodies, are aligned in the axial direction, and are discharged by the rotation of the alignment roller 4.

However, from the fish body aligner 2 to the connecting conveyor 5
When the fish are discharged at a certain interval, the fish overlap each other, or when a large amount of fish is loaded from the loading port 3 at a time, slide on the fish held by the alignment roller 4 and the connecting conveyor. 5 may be slanted or fall in the feed direction. For this reason, the impeller 6 having the fins 63 is provided at the discharge end of the communication conveyor 5, the fish body sent by the communication conveyor 5 is received by the receiving plate 7, and the rotation attached to the discharging side of the receiving plate 7 is performed. The board 8 is slid on, sequentially inserted into the fins 63 of the impeller 6, aligned in the axial direction, and discharged onto the delivery conveyor 11.

Depending on the rotational position of the impeller 6, when the free edge of the rotating plate 8 is in the lowered position as shown by the solid line in the figure,
The fish on the receiving plate 7 slides on the rotating plate 8 and is supplied onto the fins 63 of the impeller 6. When the rotating plate 8 is pushed up by the engaging claws 9 with the rotation of the impeller 6 and the free edge rises, the rotating plate 8 prevents the supply of the next fish and is stopped as shown by the dotted line. The fish body is held in the direction along the rotating plate surface. Rotation of the impeller causes the engaging claw 9 to move to the fin 63.
When the rotating plate 8 falls off to the stopper 10 and returns to the solid line position, the next fin 63 of the rotating impeller 6 approaches this position, and the fish on the receiving plate 7 moves to the rotating plate 8.
It slides up and is fed onto the fin 63. In this way, the fish bodies on the receiving plate 7 are smoothly sent to the impeller 6 because they are axially held by the rotating plate 8, and one by one between the fins 63 via the rotating plate 8. The fish body is inserted between the fins 63 and held in the axial direction, discharged by the rotation of the impeller 6 onto the delivery conveyor 11, and sent to the fish box 13.

The rotating plate 8 may be rotatably attached to the base 1 separately from the receiving plate 7, and other driving devices may be provided without providing the engaging claws with the impeller. With this, it is possible to rotate in synchronization with the rotation of the impeller.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the fish aligner 2 having the aligning rollers aligns the fish in the axial direction and discharges the fish to the connecting conveyor, and further, from the connecting conveyor 5 to the impeller 6 having the fins in the axial direction. A feeding plate 7 is provided so as to surely align the directions, and a receiving plate 7 and a rotating plate 8 rotatably attached to the discharge side of the receiving plate are provided between the communication conveyor and the impeller. For this reason, by randomly inserting a large amount of fish at one time from the input port, even if the fish aligner alone causes uneven spacing between fish or even if some fish are discharged on the connecting conveyor without being aligned in the axial direction. The blade is inserted into the impeller through the receiving plate and the rotating plate, and the rotating plate stops the fish on the receiving plate to adjust the flow, and the direction of the fish is aligned along the surface of the rotating plate to move the blade. There is an effect that the supply to the vehicle becomes smooth, the directions can be surely aligned, the fish discharged on the sending conveyor are in a good alignment, the uneven sending is eliminated, and the work efficiency can be improved. Also,
The connecting conveyor has a merit that the fish can be short and the whole structure can be made small because it only sends the fish from the fish aligner to the receiving plate and does not change the direction of the fish on the conveyor.
