Next, reference numeral 5 in the figure shows a rod 6 for locking the continuous intestinal stuffed sausages S fed from the supply conveyor 3.
It is a sorting locking device that guides to both sides.

That is, the distributing locking device 5 is required to be able to sequentially drop and supply the continuous stuffed wieners S, and to perform a distributing operation toward both sides of the pole 6 under this supplying operation.

The illustrated distribution locking device 5 comprises a guide chute shown as 7 in the figure and a distribution actuation device 8 for distributing and operating the guide chute 7.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the guide chute 7 has one side open 9 vertically, has an upper end opening 10 in a semicircular shape, and a lower end opening 11 also in a semicircular shape. In the shape, an inclined guide wall 12 is formed between the openings at both upper and lower ends.

Such a guide chute 7 is connected to a distribution actuating device 8 in order to distribute the guide chute 7 to both sides of the pole 6 positioned below the lower end opening 11 as shown by the dashed line in FIG.

The illustrated distribution actuating device 8 has a guide elongated hole 13 fixed to the outer surface of the inclined guide wall 12 of the guide chute 7, and is connected to an arm 15 and a motor 16 which are pivoted to the base 14 between the guide elongated hole 13 and the fixed guide hole 13. A rotating disk 17 that can be rotated by a rotary disk 17, a crank arm 18 whose one end is eccentrically pivotally connected to the rotating disk 17, and one end of which is pivotally connected to the other end of the crank arm 18, and a guide elongated hole 13 of the arm 15 at the other end. It consists of a sliding arm 20 having a protruding pin 19 to be inserted into the sliding arm 20.

In order to lock the stuffed wieners S falling and supplied from this guide chute 7 from one end side of the tube 6 to the other end side, the lower part of the center line of the distribution operation of the guide chute 7 is moved from one end side of the tube 6 to the other end side, etc. A rod transfer device 21 is provided for fast transfer.

This rod transfer device 21 is arranged in a direction parallel to the center line of the distribution operation of the guide chute 7 in order to transfer the rod 6 below the guide chute 7, and is deviated from below the center line and 2 Guide rods 22, 22 arranged in parallel on the same horizontal plane, the guide rod 2
2 and 22 are inserted into the through holes formed in the lower part so that the guide rods 22 and 22 can slide in the length direction, and the upper end is inserted downward to the side of the lower end opening 11 when the guide chute 7 is located at the center of the distribution operation. The chute 7 guides the pole holding part in relation to the holding member 23 set and installed in the position, and the cylinder 24 attached to the lower surface to cantilever one end side of the pole 6.
A chuck 25 is provided on the side of the upper end of the holding member 23 with the chuck 25 positioned directly below the center line of the distribution operation, and a chuck 25 is provided at the lower end of the holding member 23 so that the holding member 23 can be slid along the guide rods 22, 22.
