Title:
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CENTERING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3880646
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct the positional deviation of fruits and vegetables without decreasing the traveling speed of a placing part, so as to prevent the erroneous processing in the next stage side, by correcting the positions of the fruit vegetables on the placing parts transferred to the placing parts for the fruits and vegetables in the center parts of the placing part during traveling of the placing parts.
SOLUTION: Fruits and vegetables K are sequentially transferred from an aligning conveyor onto many cups 11 linearly arranged on a selecting conveyor 2 one by one. When the fruit and vegetable K on the cup 11 whose position is deviated is conveyed to the position facing a centering conveyor 4 by the selecting conveyor 2, the position of deviated fruit and vegetable K is corrected to the center part of the cup 11 by the opening-to-closing operation of four opening and closing pawls 35 of a centering unit 30 in the centering position P, and centering is performed. Accordingly, even if the fruit and vegetables K are transferred to the cups 11 in a deviated state, the positional deviation of the fruit vegetables K can be completely corrected without decreasing the traveling speed of the cups 11, and the erroneous processing on the next stage side can be prevented.
