(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the device according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a front view of the same, and in both figures, numeral 11 is the main body of the device. A conveyor 1 is provided on the entrance side of this device main body 11.
A roller path 13 having a plurality of rollers for guiding the freezing frame 1 from 1 to the main body 11 of the apparatus is provided. This roller path 13 and the device body 1
A feed roller 14 rotationally driven by a motor (not shown) is disposed between the table 15 on the top of the frame 1, and a stopper 16 for stopping the following freezing frame 1 is disposed on the entrance side of the feed roller 14. This stopper 16 is operated by an air cylinder 17.

The table 15 is provided with a stopper 18 for stopping the refrigerating frame 1 conveyed onto the table 15, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and this stopper 18 is provided with an air It is operated by a cylinder 19. This stopper 18 and the stopper 16 are activated simultaneously when the refrigerating frame 1 that has been conveyed onto the table 15 comes into contact with a limit switch 20 on the table 15, as shown in FIG.

The freezing frame 1 that has come into contact with this stopper 18 and stopped on the table 15 is moved by a claw 22 operated by an air cylinder 21, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5.
The main body 2 is fixed by the claws 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d.
a, 22b, 22c, and 22d are limit switches 2 provided on the table 15 as shown in FIG.
It is activated when the freezing frame 1 comes into contact with the freezing frame 3. Further, the bottom plate 3 of the freezing frame 1 is connected to the hole 1 of the table 15 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6.
Air cylinder (lifter) corresponding to 5a and 15b
The punching plates 25a, 2 move up and down by the expansion and contraction movement of 24.
5b, the main body 2 is pushed upward after being fixed, so that the frozen object 5 is extracted upward from the main body 2 together with the bottom plate 3 and the partition plate 4.

As shown in FIG. 6, a hammer 27 operated by an air cylinder 26 is disposed above the frozen object 5 extracted from the main body 2, and the frozen object 5 extracted from the main body 2 is The partition plate 4 at the center of the left side in FIG. 6 is struck by the hammer 27. And with this,
An impact is applied to the frozen and fixed surfaces of the frozen object 5 with the partition plate 4 and the bottom plate 3, so that the object is easily separated.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3, 6, and 7, a rod 28a extends on one side of the frozen object 5 extracted from the main body 2, and presses the side surface of the frozen object 5 toward the opposite side. An air cylinder (pushing body) 28 is installed, and on the other side of the frozen object 5 facing the air cylinder 28, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 6, and 7, A bottom plate peeling claw 29 is provided that rotates downward by about 20 to 25 degrees from a horizontal position. Then, the bottom plate 3 pushed out together with the frozen object 5 by the rod 28a is engaged with the bottom plate peeling claw 29 as shown in FIG. It is becoming more and more common.

This bottom plate 3 is accommodated in the main body 2 by the contraction operation of the air cylinder 24, and on the other hand, after the bottom plate 3 is peeled off, the frozen product 5 is
As shown in FIG. 6, it passes over the upper surface of the bottom plate peeling claw 29, is further guided by a guide member 30 on the exit side, and falls onto a dividing conveyor 31.

As shown in FIG. 3, this dividing conveyor 31 is composed of a conveyor 31a corresponding to one half of the frozen products 5 divided by the partition plate 4, and a conveyor 31b corresponding to the other half of the frozen products 5. The rotation speed of the conveyor 31a is lower than that of the conveyor 31b, and both conveyors 31a, 3
1b, a gap G is formed for a required length in the conveyance direction. Then, along with the frozen food 5, the dividing conveyor 3
During this time, the partition plate 4 that has fallen onto the container 1 falls downward through G, and only the frozen products 5 are carried out from the dividing conveyor 31.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, 32 is a conveyor that is disposed on the exit side of the apparatus main body 11 and conveys the main body 2 and the bottom plate 3 from which the frozen material 5 has been taken out to the next process.

Next, the effect will be explained.

Freezer frame 1 containing frozen food 5 is conveyor 12
The table 15 of the apparatus main body 11 is conveyed upward and guided to the roller path 13, and is further driven by a feed roller 14 which is rotationally driven by a motor (not shown).
You will be guided upwards.

When the freezing frame 1 slides on the table 15, the freezing frame 1 contacts the limit switch 20 and the stoppers 16 and 18 are activated, and the following freezing frame 1 contacts the stopper 16 and waits on the roller path 13, and also slides on the table 15. Refrigeration frame 1 on 15 is stopper 18
This prevents them from being carried out to the conveyor 32 side. However, in this state, the freezing frame 1 on the table 15 is not yet in contact with the stopper 18.

When the freezing frame 1 further slides on the conveyor 15 and comes into contact with the stopper 18, at the same time, the freezing frame 1
comes into contact with the limit switch 23, the air cylinder 21 is operated to extend, and the freezing frame 1 is opened as shown in FIG.
The main body 2 is gripped and fixed by claws 22a, 22b, 22c, and 22d.

When the main body 2 is fixed on the table 15, the air cylinder 24 is operated to extend, and the punching plates 25a, 25
b pushes the bottom plate 3 upward from the lower surface side. As a result, as shown by the chain line in FIG.
extracted from.

When the frozen object 5 and the like are extracted from the main body 2, the air cylinder 26 expands and contracts, and the hammer 27 interlocked with the air cylinder 26 strikes the end surface of the partition plate 4 at the center of one side of the frozen object 5. As a result, an impact is applied to the frozen and fixed surfaces of the frozen object 5, the partition plate 4, and the bottom plate 3, making them easy to separate.

Next, the air cylinder 28 is operated to extend, and the seventh
As shown in the figure, the frozen object 5, the partition plate 4, and the bottom plate 3 are pushed out toward the bottom plate peeling claw 29 side. When the bottom plate 3 is locked with the bottom plate peeling claw 29, the bottom plate peeling claw 29 moves downward from the horizontal position by 20 degrees as shown in FIG.
or 25 degrees to curve the bottom plate 3 downward.
Thereby, the bottom plate 3 is separated from the frozen object 5. The frozen object 5 is further extruded together with the partition plate 4 from the state shown in FIG. It slips and falls onto the dividing conveyor 31. Then,
One half of the frozen food 5 divided into two by the middle partition plate 4 falls onto the conveyor 31a, and the other half falls onto the conveyor 31b, and the middle partition plate 4 falls on both conveyors 31.
It falls downward through G between a and 31b. As a result, only the frozen products 5 are carried out from the dividing conveyor 31. At this time, the rotation speed of the conveyor 31a is set lower than that of the conveyor 31b. Therefore, even if the two halves of the frozen object 5 fall onto the dividing conveyor 31 through the partition plate 4 in a state in which they are in close contact with each other, a force is applied to the two halves to separate them. The plate 4 is reliably separated from the frozen object 5 and falls through the gap G, so that it is not erroneously carried out from the dividing conveyor 31 together with the frozen object 5.

The conveyor 31 divides the frozen goods 5 and the partition plate 4
After being pushed out to the side, the air cylinder 28 moves backward and returns to the contracted state, and the air cylinder 24 also operates to contract, so that the bottom plate 3 on the punching plates 25a and 25b is accommodated in the empty main body 2. After that, air cylinder 2
1 moves backward and the claws 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d
The fixation of the main body 2 is released, and finally the stoppers 16 and 18 are released. Then, roller pass 1
The freezing frame 1 that was waiting on the table 15 is guided onto the table 15, and the main body 2 and the bottom plate 3 are placed on the table 15.
is pushed out by this freezing frame 1 onto a conveyor 32 and transported to the next process.

Thereafter, the above-described operations are repeated, and the frozen object 5 is automatically taken out from the freezing frame 1.

Therefore, it is possible to take out the frozen object 5 from the freezing frame 1 very easily and reliably, and in particular, it is possible to reliably separate the partition plate 4 from the frozen object 5, which has been difficult in the past. Furthermore, there is no risk of damaging the frozen object 5 when taking it out from the freezing frame 1.

Moreover, since the bottom plate 3 is automatically accommodated in the empty main body 2 after taking out the frozen object 5, processing in the next step is extremely easy.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention raises the bottom plate together with the frozen goods from the main body of the freezing frame by the lifter provided below the table, and pushes the bottom plate together with the frozen goods by the pushing body, and at this time, the end of the bottom plate Since the bottom plate peeling claw is engaged and rotated to separate the bottom plate from the frozen product, the frozen product and the bottom plate of the freezing frame can be separated very well.
