Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively separate shell with bean from harvested branch by action of a pair of blades installed inside of frame in rotation-free and a pair of conveyor parts. CONSTITUTION:A pair of blades A, A is placed side by side in rotation-free in side of a frame 1 having slits 2 and 3 at the side faces and upper conveyer part B and lower conveyer part C are respectively provided parallel to the slit 2. Besides, the blades A, A are set inclining to the frame 1 and elastic materials 8 are installed on the end parts of the blades contacting branch, etc. At first, trunk part with shell of bean is held in hand and a trunk part near root is inserted into the slits 2 and 3, then branch is rolled between the conveyer parts B and C and fed. Next, shell attached to branch is separated from branch and fallen to downward. As the blades A, A are set inclining to the frame 1, branch part is fed by the conveyer part and a part contacting the blades is gradually transferred to end part of trunk.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a pod separating device used to separate pods containing beans from cut legume branches.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, to remove the pods from the branches of edamame and other legumes, the method has been to manually remove the pods one by one.Also, there is also a mechanical method by partially modifying a threshing machine, but this method is not yet effective. No pod separation device is found that has a pair of rotating blades fitted with resilient material as shown in the invention.

[Problem to be solved by the invention 2n] The conventional method of manually tearing off each piece requires a great deal of effort, and the mechanical method described above Since the purpose of use is to thresh rice, it may damage the beans, so it is difficult to say that it is suitable for the purpose of use. The present invention was invented to solve the problems caused by the conventional methods described above, and was developed for the purpose of efficiently separating pods.

[Means to solve the problem]

(a) Frame (1) with slits (2) and (3) on the side
Inside, a pair of blades (^) (A) are rotatably installed, and an upper conveyor section (B) is installed parallel to the slit (2).
) A lower conveyor section (C) is provided respectively. (b) Blade (A) (A) is attached obliquely to the frame body (1), and the end of the blade that comes into contact with branches etc. is equipped with an elastic material (8).The present invention has the above configuration. This is a device for separating legumes from pods.

[For use]

The present invention is a device that separates pods containing beans from harvested branches using a pair of blades rotatably provided inside a frame and a pair of conveyors. Legumes are generally attached to branches protruding from the trunk, so if you hold the trunk in your hand and insert the part of the trunk closest to the roots into the slits (2) and (3), the conveyor section (B) A branch is caught between (B) and (C) and sent to the left. Inside the frame (1), a pair of blades (A) (^) are rotating synchronously, and this blade (A) (^) causes the pod attached to the branch to separate from the branch and fall downwards.Blade (A) (A) is attached diagonally to the frame (1), and the conveyor part (B) When the branch force (C) is applied, the part where the blade hits gradually moves to the tip of the branch and the pod is completely separated from the branch. Also, the part of the blade where the branch hits is made of elastic material (8). 1. The work can be carried out without damaging the beans.The blades (^) and conveyor sections (B) and (C) each consist of a pair and are driven by power supplied from an external power source. The branch from which the pod has detached falls to the outside through the left slit.The frame (1) and blade stay (4) are provided with slits (2), (3), and (5), respectively, to allow insertion of the branch. And work can be carried out continuously without hindering progress.

【Example】

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. (a) Slits (2) and (3) perpendicular to each other are provided on the upper side of the mouth-shaped frame (1), and an abbreviated blade stay (4) is provided on the inner surface of the frame (1). Install the slit (5) and the slits (2) and (3) so that they are at the same height. (b) A rectangular blade support (7) is fixed symmetrically around the shaft (6), and a plurality of fixing holes are drilled in the blade support, and an elastic material (8) made of a similarly rectangular rubber plate. Match the holes drilled in the stop plate (9) and the stop plate (9), and screw them in with bolts and nuts to attach the blade (
Configure A). (c) Conveyor stay (10) with a T-shaped cross section; pulleys (11) (11) are pivoted near both ends of the pulley (11);
(11) A belt (12) is stretched between them, one end of a spring coil (13) is fixed to the conveyor stay (10), a roller chain (14) is attached to the other end, and the rollers of the roller chain are attached to the belt. (12) The upper conveyor part (B) is formed by contacting the inner lower part. (d) A conveyor stay (15) with a top-shaped cross section, with pulleys (11°) (ll”) pivoted near both ends, and pulley m'
) (t+' ), stretch a belt (12°) between them, fix a roller chain (14°) to the conveyor stay (15), and attach the rollers of the roller chain to the belt (12°).
The lower conveyor section (C) is configured by contacting the upper inner surface. (e) A pair of blades (^) (^) are pivoted to the required locations of the blade stay (4) and frame body (1) with the slit (5) as the center, and between the blades (^) (A), Frame (1
) Gears (
16), the driving force is transmitted and a driving pulley (17) is fitted to the end of the shaft (6). (f) Frame (1) Provided at required locations, pulleys (11
) (11''), a support (19) (19°) that supports this shaft, and a pair provided between the supports (19) (19°). Bearing part (D) consisting of meshing drive gears (20) (20°) and a drive pulley (21) provided at the M (18') end
A two-part conveyor part (B) and a lower conveyor part (C
), conveyor stays (10) (15) with slits (2
) are installed inside the frame (1) in a symmetrical manner. The above is one embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a spring is used in the upper conveyor part (B) to apply a constant pressure between the conveyors (12) (12").
It has a structure that allows it to securely hold and feed branches. It is convenient to provide a blower or the like inside the frame (1) because it can separate leaves and other foreign matter from the pods containing beans. This device is effective for beans with pods, and is particularly effective for edamame, etc., which are cooked and eaten whole.

【Effect of the invention】

The present invention has the following effects. (a) Since a pair of blades and a conveyor are provided inside the frame, simply by inserting a branch with a pod attached through the slit, the pod is automatically separated from the branch. (b) Since the blade is made of elastic material, it can separate the pod without damaging it. (c) Since the blade is attached diagonally to the frame, the blade hits the branch from the root to the tip, allowing for efficient work. As described above, according to the present invention, pods can be efficiently separated from branches without damaging them.
