Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an egg processing method and apparatus for packaging an egg supplied from an egg producer by performing a predetermined process.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the ordering form of eggs from supermarkets, retail stores, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “ordering party”) has been diversified. In addition, a form of placing a predetermined quantity of packed eggs of a specific size has been increasing, and the contractor is required to promptly supply desired products to the orderer.
[0003]
By the way, the size of the egg supplied from the egg producer to the contractor varies depending on conditions such as the breed of chicken, the age of the chicken, the season of egg laying, the individual difference of the chicken, etc. It is difficult to supply only the eggs to the contractor.
[0004]
In addition, after sorting the collected eggs, they are temporarily stocked in the storage warehouse for each size of the eggs, and only the eggs with high demand are taken out, washed and dried, and commercialized (packaging / packaging) It may be possible to ship in the storage warehouse in the state of raw eggs, however, hygienic conditions such as propagation of germs on the surface and inside of eggs and propagation of germs in the warehouse. Has administrative problems.
[0005]
Therefore, the collected raw eggs are immediately washed and dried, sorted according to size, then temporarily stocked in a storage warehouse that is kept cooled at a predetermined temperature, and the required number when there is demand from the orderer. It is said that it is an ideal egg processing system to take out the eggs from a storage warehouse maintained at a predetermined temperature and package them in a shipping container.
[0006]
Therefore, as an example of the egg processing system, as shown in FIG. 5, when there is a demand from the orderer, a required number of eggs are taken out from the storage warehouse and packaged in a shipping container (hereinafter, precedent). Is referred to in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-335515.
[0007]
The prior art generally includes a first processing unit (not shown) for cleaning and drying while transporting a large number of eggs supplied from a poultry house along a transport path, and a chicken egg that has passed through the first processing section as a transport path. A second processing unit P that performs egg inspection / weighing while transporting along the lines, and performs automatic sorting by grade based on the measurement result, and is arranged on the graded transport lines 201-206 and the transport lines 201-206. A second processing unit P including a large number of temporary containers 200 for storing movable eggs, a storage warehouse S for storing eggs stored in the temporary containers 200 on the transport lines 201 to 206, and Repacking processing unit R having repackers 300 to 302 for refilling the eggs stored in the temporary container 200 into the shipping container 304 at the gate position provided on the downstream side of the transfer lines 201 to 206 It is constructed from.
[0008]
Therefore, according to the above-described configuration, the prior art shifts from the container to the shipping container when an ordering request is actually made from the orderer, so that it can meet the demands from various orderers without generating wasteful inventory. Will be able to. Moreover, it is possible to set the starting point of the substantial expiration date to the time when the container is transferred from the storage container to the shipping container, so that the expiration date can be effectively utilized.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to the prior art, each of the transport lines 201 to 206 classified by grade passes through the storage warehouse S, and the repackers 300 to 302 move to the exits of the transport lines 201 to 206 to take out the eggs. For example, assuming the case of moving from an outlet for L size to an outlet for MS size, the packing operator who packs the product every time it moves must move accordingly. Is very complicated and has a problem that it cannot be commercialized (packed / shipped) in a short time.
[0010]
In addition, since it is a configuration in which which size of egg is accepted in which transport line, a certain transport line is made different while avoiding mixing of different sizes of eggs on the same transport line as much as possible. In order to be diverted to the size conveying line, all the eggs stored in the storage warehouse S must be discharged once, and there is a problem that the eggs will be commercialized even though there is no ordering request.
[0011]
Furthermore, in order to avoid mixing eggs of different sizes on the same transfer line as much as possible, it is necessary to arrange multiple transfer lines for eggs with a high frequency of occurrence, and the frequency of occurrence is extremely low Installation area, for example, it is necessary to prepare a transportation line for eggs of size of It has the problem of inviting an increase.
[0012]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art described above, and the object of the present invention is to enable ideal hygiene management of eggs and the required number when there is demand from the orderer. A chicken egg processing method and apparatus capable of commercializing (packaging / shipping) chicken eggs in a short period of time and effectively utilizing the limited space to suppress an increase in installation area It is in.

[0043]
In order to effectively utilize the limited space and suppress an increase in the installation area, the number n of transport lines in the collection section 25 is smaller than the number m of transport lines in the storage section 41, and the collection It is desirable to employ a configuration in which the aggregate partition allocation of the partition 25 and the storage partition allocation of the storage partition 41 are updated, and more preferably, the number of transport lines n of the collective partition 25 and the number of transport lines m of the storage partition 41 And “n ≦ m”.
[0044]
Next, an example of the allocation update will be described.
[0045]
For example, a predetermined number of eggs of LL size and L size are stored in the transfer lines m1 to m4 of the storage section 41, a predetermined amount of S size eggs are stored in the transfer line m5, and M is stored in the transfer line m6. Assuming that the eggs gathered in the gathering section 25 are concentrated in the M size and the MS size in a state where the eggs of the size are accommodated in a full state, the gathering information of the eggs in the sorting and gathering unit 20 And yield The accommodation information of the container 40 is transmitted to the calculation means, and the control means stores a predetermined amount of LL size and L size eggs in the transfer lines m1 to m4 of the storage section 41, and the transfer line m6 has an M size.

After that, for example, it is assumed that there is a request for ordering L size eggs from the orderer, and all L size eggs stored in the transport lines m1 and m2 are discharged. So And yield Based on the accommodation information of the container 40, the calculation means recognizes that the transfer lines m1 and m2 are empty and cannot be accommodated in the transfer line m5. And a control means transmits the signal which updates the allocation to the M size and the MS size about the conveyance lines m1 and m2 which were initially allocated for L size eggs to the 1st transfer means 30, The said 1st transfer means 30 accommodates M-sized and MS-sized eggs in the accommodating section 41 transport lines m1 and m2 based on the allocation update command.
[0046]
FIG. 3 is a view showing a second embodiment of the egg processing apparatus T adopting the egg processing method according to the present invention.
[0047]
As shown in the figure, the configuration other than the first transition means 30 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. The first transfer means 30 transfers each egg in the storage compartment 41 when transferring the substantially U-shaped transfer conveyor 31 and the eggs filled in the multiple storage containers 70 moving on the transfer conveyor 31 to the next process. The transfer means 32a-32h which selects the conveyance line which transfers from line m1-m8 arbitrarily, and transfers the said egg to this selected conveyance line is comprised.
[0048]
From the above configuration, the eggs filled in a large number of storage containers 70 from the collective section 25 are collectively transferred to the transport conveyor 31, and the transport lines m1 to m8 of the storage section 41 are distributed by the distribution means 32a to 32h. A transfer line to be transferred is selected, and the eggs stored in the storage container 70 are transferred to the selected predetermined transfer line together with the storage container 70.
[0049]
In addition, the processing method and apparatus of the egg concerning this invention are not limited to a present Example, You may form the distribution conveyors 24a and 24b in 1 row.
[0050]

[0051]
Further, in this embodiment, the packaging container 70 is the sorting assembly unit 20. And yield Although the example shared with the container 40 was described, it is not limited to a present Example, The selection gathering part 20 And yield The container used for the container 40 may be separated, and the eggs may be transferred using a transfer means such as a known adsorption robot when transferring the eggs.
[0052]
As apparent from the above explanation To The required number of eggs is removed from the storage warehouse when demand is received from the buyer, so it can be quickly processed from ordering to commercialization (packaging / shipping), and can respond quickly to large orders.
[0053]
Since each process is divided from the first process to the fifth process, it is only necessary to operate only the necessary processes and commercialize the eggs for the small ordering. . Furthermore, based on the physical property detection results, non-standard eggs trading eggs such as cracked eggs, dirty eggs, blood eggs or spoiled eggs are processed in a separate process without being supplied to the next process, improving work efficiency. At the same time, it is possible to prevent contamination of equipment in the next process (packaging process).
[0054]
Claim 2 According to the invention, the transfer of the eggs from the sorted assembly portion to the next process by the first transfer means, or the second transfer means Earn When transferring the eggs from the container to the next process, Earn Based on the accommodation information of the container, select a transport line for transferring the egg to the next process from the transport lines n1 to n4 of the assembly section.
The structure is such that the transfer line to be stored is determined from among the transfer lines m1 to m6 of the storage section which is the next process, and the transfer lines m1 to m6 of the storage section are selected. Since it is the structure which selects the conveyance line which transfers an egg from the inside to the next process, and moves the egg of the selected conveyance line to the packaging part which is the next process, that is, it is selective according to the occurrence frequency of an egg. Thus, it is not necessary to arrange a plurality of high-occurrence chicken egg transport lines, and the limited space can be effectively used to suppress an increase in the installation area. In addition, since the packaging unit does not move, the packing operator who packs the product does not need to move with it, and the work is not complicated.
[0055]
Claim 3 And claims 4 According to the invention, the number of transport lines n of the collective section is less than the number of transport lines m of the storage section, and the collective section assignment of the collective section and the storage section assignment of the storage section are updated. As a result, the limited space can be effectively used to prevent an increase in the installation area, and it is possible to avoid mixing eggs of different sizes on the same transport line. Can be prevented from being commercialized.
