Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a tape binding device for seaweed bundles.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, the seaweed bundles folded by a double folding machine were unloaded by extruding 10 bundles into 10 bundles (Tokuko Sho).
No. 59-45341), bound with highly hygroscopic washi tape. However, extreme care must be taken when bundling the double-folded seaweed bundles, which are easily damaged, and the bundling is done exclusively by hand, making it difficult to tie the bundles mechanically. A device was devised to bond both ends of the tape with hot melt adhesive to mechanically bind it (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 116522/1983), but it was difficult to use it for high-quality nori bundles because the adhesive parts at both ends of the tape were difficult to unravel. be. There is a problem in that the above-mentioned binding tape for seaweed bundles must be able to easily untie the knots.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' In order to form an easy-to-untie tape knot using mechanical force, a binding tape and a tape end abutment piece folded at 90 degrees are pressed between the tape and the seaweed bundle. Conventionally, this was done by hand.

The object of the present invention is to mechanically perform the above-mentioned pushing operation without damaging the seaweed bundles and automatically form a knot.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention provides a seaweed bundle compression plate and a reciprocating sliding groove-shaped double plate in parallel on a seaweed bundle support plate provided on the machine frame, and on the outside of the double plate. A folding device is provided to fold the abutting pieces at both ends of the tape wrapped around the seaweed bundle in a right angle direction, and the folding device includes a 45-degree cutting knife-shaped abutting piece holding plate and a 45-degree cutting surface of the holding plate. The abutting piece is formed by a tongue piece for folding the abutting piece which can be slid back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the above, and an undulating plate that supports the tongue piece and the above-mentioned presser plate, and the abutment piece folded in the perpendicular direction is folded between the two plates. It is constituted by a seaweed bundle binding device in which a reciprocating sliding plate that is pushed into the groove is provided on the undulating plate.

"Operation" Therefore, the seaweed bundle 11 is placed on the seaweed bundle support plate 2, and the seaweed bundle 11 is compressed by the compression plate 3 in a direction perpendicular to the lamination. In this state, the abutting pieces 5 at both ends of the tape 22 wrapped around the compressed seaweed bundle 11 are held horizontally by the abutting piece pressing plate 17 on the outside of the groove-shaped double plate 4, which is stopped moving forward. In this state, the abutment piece folding tongue piece 20 slides toward the 45-degree blade surface of the presser plate 17, and the abutment piece 5 is folded back at right angles to the wrapping tape in the horizontal plane (11th
Furthermore, the folded portion is folded into an upright state toward the hanging tape 22 by the undulating plates 13 and 14 rising vertically from the horizontal direction (FIG. 12). In this state, the middle of the orthogonal folding abutment piece 7 is pushed into the groove 21 between the double plates 4 by the forward movement of the sliding plate 8 (Figs. 8 and 9). reference). Immediately thereafter, the sliding plate 8 moves back and comes off from the double plate 4, and the undulating plates 13 and 14 fall horizontally to come out of the knot, and then the double plate 4 moves back and comes off from the knot. When the folding piece 7 (Fig. 12) is removed from the pushing part (moved back from the imaginary line position in Fig. 1 to the solid line position), the folding piece 7 (Fig. 12)
As shown in the figure, the inside of the tape 22, that is, the seaweed bundle 11
The pressed state is maintained between the tape 22 and the knot 23. In this state, when the seaweed bundle compression plate 3 retreats and comes off the seaweed bundle 11, the seaweed bundle 11 expands due to its restoring force, and the tape 22
Tension the knot 2 shown in Figure 14 in that state.
A tied seaweed bundle with 3 is formed.

``Example'' Nori bundle support plates 2, 2 are provided on the machine frame 1 through the loop tape insertion groove 9', and nori bundle support plates 9, 9 are respectively erected on the plates 2, 2. Nori bundle compression plates 3, 3 are provided facing the plates 9, 9. Air cylinders 10,
10 and supported on support plates 2, 2
1 toward the receiving plates 9, 9 by the compression plates 3, 3, and can be compressed. Receiving plate 9,
In the tape passing gap t formed between 9 and 9, a reciprocating sliding grooved double plate 4 arranged parallel to the outside of the receiving plates 9 and 9 is attached to the air cylinder 12 at the position shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Therefore, it can move forward and stop, and then move back and stop at the position indicated by the solid line in the figure. I did it like this 2
A perpendicular folding device 6 for the end abutting pieces 5 of the seaweed bundle wrapping tape is provided on the outside of the heavy plate 4. In this device 6, at least one of the horizontal and vertical undulating plates 13 and 14 provided on both sides of the tape passage gap t can be moved toward and away from the receiving plate 9 by an air cylinder 15, and one of the undulating plates 14 is arranged such that it can be raised and lowered freely by a cylinder 16, and on one of the undulating plates 14,
It has a 45-degree cut-out knife-shaped abutment piece holding plate 17, and a reciprocating sliding plate 8 with an air cylinder 18 is provided on the holding plate 17 in parallel with the holding plate 17, and the undulating plate 14
When the sliding plate 8 is lowered and stands up, the sliding plate 8 is moved to the eighth position.
As shown in the figure, it faces the groove opening of the double plate 4. Moreover, this undulating plate 14 is moved to the receiving plate 9 by an air cylinder 19 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7.
The holding plate 17 provided on the undulating plate 14 can be slid back and forth along the undulating plate 14. The other undulating plate 13 is provided with an abutting piece folding tongue piece 20 that slides back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the 45-degree blade surface of the presser plate 17. The sliding plate 8 is adapted to push the right-angled folding abutment piece 7 into the groove 21 between the two plates. And after pushing, the same double plate board 4
moves back to the solid line position in Figure 1 to open the tape passing gap t, and when the seaweed bundle compression plates 3, 3 return to their original positions, the seaweed bundle 11 expands due to its restoring force, as shown in Figure 14. It is bound with tape 22 and knot 23. 24 in the figure is a chain for hanging the tape, 25 is a tape end suction cup provided on the chain 24, 26 is a hinge for undulating the undulating plates 13 and 14, and 27
28 is a reciprocating pivot rod for holding down the abutment piece 5 at both ends provided on the undulation plate 13; 28 is an abutment piece holder provided on the undulation plate 13;
In FIG. 16, 29 is a tape passing gap between the compression plates 3, 3, and 30 is a hook provided on the suction cup 25.

"Effect" Since the present invention is configured as described above, the seaweed bundle 11
Knot 2 of both end pieces 5 of tape 22 hung on
3 can be formed by a machine without touching the seaweed bundles 11, and the seaweed bundles can be tied together safely, and the above-mentioned knot 23 forms a knot that is easy to untie and is safe, no different from a knot made by hand. There is a potential effect.
