DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side explanatory view of a boxing part for packing harvested cabbage and other headed vegetables, and FIG. 2 is a plane explanatory view thereof. A head part where unnecessary roots and outer leaves of cabbage A are cut by a preparation part is necessary. Only the tray 2 of the finishing conveyor 1 is conveyed to the boxing unit 3.
[0010]
The boxing portion 3 includes a bellows chute 5 that receives the cabbage A discharged from the feed end portion of the conveyor 1 and a hydraulic or electric cylinder that moves the cabbage insertion port 6 at the lower end of the chute 5 in the front-rear direction. 7, a worm wheel 9 that supports the central portion of the main body of the cylinder 7 so as to be horizontally rotatable via a rotation shaft 8, a worm gear 10 that is coupled to the worm wheel 9, and a hydraulic or electric type that is coupled to the worm gear 10. A boxing mechanism 12 including a motor 11 is provided, and after moving in advance to the input position of the product box 13 that stores the input port 6 by the drive control of the cylinder 7 and the motor 11, the cabbage A is received from the conveyor 1 in the receptacle 4. The product box 13 is sequentially filled with the cabbage A in a filling box.
[0011]
That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the insertion port 6 is moved freely through the bellows chute 5 with respect to the receiving rod 4 that holds a fixed position, and the insertion port 6 of the chute 5 is positioned by driving the cylinder 7 and the motor 11. In this way, the cabbage A is sequentially and accurately filled in the empty space of the product box 12.
[0012]
As shown by the phantom line in FIG. 1, the opening 6 is provided with an opening / closing shutter 6a , and when the predetermined position in the box 13 is reached, the shutter 6a is opened and the cabbage A stored in the chute 5 is discharged. May be possible.
[0013]
As described above, the conveyor 1 that is a threshing member that conveys the cabbage A, which is a crop after sorting, to the boxing unit 3, and the boxing mechanism that moves and guides the cabbage A that has been conveyed to the boxing unit 3 to each predetermined position in the box 13. 12, and using the bellows-like chute 5 to the boxing mechanism 12, the cabbage A from the conveying member 1 is sequentially and accurately packed into the box 13 by the guidance of the bellows-like chute 5 without relying on manpower. Efficiency can be improved.
[0014]
4 and 5 use a hopper type boxing container 14 that moves horizontally and vertically on a horizontal plane in the boxing mechanism 12, and includes a left and right frame on the screw shaft 15 and the guide shaft 16 in the front-rear direction. The body 17 is supported movably back and forth, and the container 14 is supported by the left and right screw shafts 18 and guide shafts 19 attached to the left and right frame members 17 via holders 18a and 19a so as to be movable left and right. A hydraulic or electric motor 20 or 21 is connected to one end of the container 18, and the container 14 is moved back and forth and left and right by driving the motor 20 or 21.
[0015]
In addition, an opening / closing shutter 22 is provided at the lower end opening of the container 14, and when the container 14 reaches a predetermined charging position by position control of the motors 20, 21, the shutter 22 is opened and stored in the container 14. A is configured to be discharged to a predetermined position in the box 13. In addition, what formed in the structure which opens and closes container 14 itself may be used.
[0016]
As described above, the boxing container 14 moved in the vertical (front-rear) and horizontal (left-right) directions is used for the boxing mechanism 12, and the cabbage A from the conveying member 1 is sequentially and accurately packed into the box 13 by the guide of the boxing container 14. This can improve the efficiency of boxing work.
[0017]
The one shown in FIG. 6 is used for the boxing mechanism 12 by making the box base 24 on which the lower product box 13 is placed movable forward and backward and left and right with respect to the charging guide 23 fixedly arranged at the feed end of the finishing conveyor 1. The inner frame 28 is supported by the screw shaft 26 and the guide shaft 27 in the front-rear direction attached to the outer frame 25 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and the box base is attached to the screw shaft 29 and the guide shaft 30 in the left-right direction attached to the inner frame 28. 24 is movably supported in the left-right direction, and hydraulic or electric motors 31 and 32 are connected to one ends of the screw shafts 26 and 29, respectively, and the position control of the product box 13 in the front-rear and left-right directions is driven by the motors 31 and 32. Then, the insertion portion of the box 13 is made to face the lower side of the input guide 23 that keeps a fixed position, and the cabbage A is sequentially input into the box 13.
[0018]
As described above, the box base 24 that horizontally moves the box 13 in the vertical and horizontal directions is used for the boxing mechanism 12 so that the proper boxing operation of the cabbage A can be easily performed by driving the box 13 via the box base 24. Can improve the efficiency of boxing work.
[0019]
7 shows that the turntable 33 is rotatably disposed below the finishing end of the finishing conveyor 1 and a plurality of receptacles 34 for storing the cabbage A from the conveyor 1 are arranged on the same circumference on the upper surface of the turntable 33. The upper end of each chute 35 (the chute 35 is provided according to the number of storage parts of the product box 13) is arranged at equal intervals, and the lower end discharge port 35b faces each cabbage storage part of the product box 13 When the mouth 35a is made to face the container 34 outlet 34a of the table 33, and the cabbage A sequentially received by the receiver 34 is moved to the predetermined chute 35 inlet 35a position by the rotation of the table 33, the container 34 The open / close shutter 36 to be provided is opened, and the cabbage A is sequentially packed in the product box 13.
[0020]
As described above, the turntable 33 that rotates horizontally can be used in the boxing mechanism 12 to facilitate the boxing operation of the cabbage A by the smooth rotation operation of the turntable 33, thereby improving the efficiency of the boxing operation. .
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention As is clear from the above examples, the conveying member 1 for conveying crop after sorting A (cabbage) to box packing part 3 (conveyor), the box and the transported crop A (cabbage) to boxing section 3 13 is provided with a boxing mechanism 5 (chute) that moves and guides each predetermined position in the box 13 and uses the chute 5 as the boxing mechanism , and the boxing part 3 is discharged from the feed end part of the conveying member 1 (conveyor). Receiving tray 4 for receiving the crop A (cabbage) to be moved, and a slot 6 for moving in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. An opening / closing shutter 6 a is provided at the slot 6 and the slot 4 is inserted into the socket 4 via the chute 5. 6 is connected, and when the insertion port 6 reaches the empty part of the product box 13, the shutter 6a is opened, and the crop A (cabbage) introduced from the conveying member 1 (conveyor) into the receptacle 4 is the product. Box 13 Since it is made to discharge to the empty part and to fill the empty part of the product box 13 with the crop A (cabbage), the insertion port 6 can be moved freely with respect to the receptacle 4 that holds the fixed position.
