Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an endless rotating conveyor as seen in a food freezing device, a food drying device, etc.
From the feed conveyor 1
Wide and endless rotating conveyor net 2
The present invention relates to an improvement of a carrier device equipped with a supply diffusion chute for diffusing and supplying an object to be treated and treating the same with a freezer or a dryer.

2. Description of the Related Art A supply diffusion chute equipped in a conventional transfer device is composed of a fan-shaped flat plate, and is inclined at the end of the transfer supply conveyor with the narrow side as the upper side and the wide side as the transfer conveyor net. Position it on top and equip it,
Only by this inclination or by the inclination and vibration, the object to be processed, which is supplied from the conveyer / feeder conveyor and has a flat shape as a whole, is slid down onto the conveyer net in a diffused state.

As a device for uniformly diffusing articles, for example, spherical elliptical fruits and vegetables discharged from various fruit sorters are pooled as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-17255. Attach a spherical dispersion mechanism to the part where fruits and vegetables fall from the chute in the receiving box for
There is known a container for spherical fruits and vegetables, characterized in that corrugations and other various shapes of irregularities are formed on the upper surface of the dispersing mechanism so that falling fruits and vegetables can be rolled and dispersed in each direction within a storage area. .

Further, as a conventional device for uniformly diffusing articles, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 33-13629, a diffuser having a curved upper surface on the bottom plate of the divergent type inclined chute 3. There is known a structure of a chute uniform diffusing device in which 6 is inserted and retracted freely.

[0005]

In the first one described in the prior art, since the object to be treated has a flat plate shape as a whole, it is necessary to incline a fan-shaped flat plate. Since the sliding resistance is large and the component force in the left-right direction is not generated in the descending force along the inclined surface, it is not possible to expect a smooth descending of the diffusion state. Therefore, there is a fan-shaped supply / diffusion chute with vibration, but even if vibration is applied, it is not possible to ensure a sufficiently smooth descending or diffusing state. There is a problem to be solved in that the device is concentrated in the central portion, and a device for imparting vibration is required to be provided, which increases the device cost.

In the second of the conventional techniques, spherical fruits can be rolled and dispersed in each direction within the receiving area of the receiving box by the spherical dispersing mechanism, but they do not roll. It can not be used for non-spherical processing objects, and even if the processing object is a rolling spherical object, it can not be diffused and supplied to the transport conveyor net that is not the receiving box on average. There was a problem to be solved.

The third of the above-mentioned prior arts is capable of uniformly supplying a processed product from a narrow processing machine such as a conveyor to a wide processing machine. However, the diffuser for doing this is inserted into and retractable from the diffuser insertion hole provided in the center of the bottom plate of the divergent type inclined chute, and is provided over the entire surface of the divergent type inclined chute. Therefore, there is a problem to be solved in that the product to be processed cannot be uniformly diffused and supplied as expected.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned various inconveniences, reduces frictional resistance when descending, is smooth, and has a spherical shape in which the diffusion component force forcing the spread to the left and right on the supply diffusion chute does not roll. An object of the present invention is to provide a carrier device equipped with a supply diffusion chute in which the entire shape acts on a processing object having a flat plate shape, is diffused evenly, and is distributed and supplied onto a carrier conveyor net.

And it formed, and if necessary, from forming a stage intermediate portion width direction of the supply diffusion chute, to the plate-shaped object to be processed overall shape that is ERROR on the supply diffusion chute inclined from the conveying feed conveyor is Due to the gravity, the descending force acts only in the transfer extension direction in the central portion, and the component force in the spreading direction according to the bending inclination acts on the left and right sides of the central portion, so that the above-mentioned processing target object spreads in a fan shape of the supply diffusion chute. It spreads evenly along and descends, and spreads evenly over the width of the transfer conveyor net wider than the transfer supply conveyor, and transfers. Moreover, since the supply diffusion chute is formed by the entanglement of the metal wire rods, the contact area with the object to be treated having a flat shape as a whole is small, the friction resistance at the time of descending is small, and the smooth descending is achieved. Guaranteed.

Next, when forming a step in the intermediate portion of the supply diffusion chute, after the transfer operation is completed, the supply diffusion chute formed of the metal wire rod forming the supply diffusion chute and the support plate located on the lower surface of the supply diffusion chute are attached. When cleaning the dirt and germs, the supply diffusion chute formed from the metal wire from the supporting plate can be easily separated by dividing it into the upper side and the lower side of the step portion, and thus the above cleaning can be performed. The number and pitch of the metal wire rods may be changed in order to facilitate the supply and diffusion of the metal wires, but at this time, if there is the step, it is divided into the upper step side and the lower step side. Can be easily detached and replaced with a supply diffusion chute formed from another metal wire rod, and further, when the object to be treated, which has a flat plate shape as a whole, falls off the step, diffusion is promoted. To improve the diffusion of the stage and the processing object.

When cleaning the dirt and germs, the supply diffusion chute formed from the metal wire from the supporting plate can be easily separated by dividing it into the upper side and the lower side of the step portion, and thus the above cleaning can be performed. The number and pitch of the metal wire rods may be changed in order to facilitate the supply and diffusion of the metal wires, but at this time, if there is the step, it is divided into the upper step side and the lower step side. Can be easily detached and replaced with a supply diffusion chute formed from another metal wire rod, and further, diffusion is promoted when the object to be treated, which has a flat plate shape as a whole, falls down the step.
