DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention refers to a device for a machine for handling of sausage between a sausage feeder and a delivering device for sausage to packing, with a conveyor operating between the feeder and the delivering device.
Known machines that can transport and position sausage of longish type, for instance so called hot dogs of various kind, from a depository at a receiving location of a machine on a conveyor intended for this to be transferred to packing of the sausage has been complicated, staff demanding and not so effective. The sausage thereby also might be damaged and come into positions which has rendered the transport of the same more difficult.
Therefore, the main object of the present invention is at first hand to achieve a device, which solves said problem with simple and well operating means, and by this among other things make the handling of sausage more effective before packing of the same, such as for instance to arrange, count and put in order sausages with equal diameter in an appropriate compartment of a conveyor and at a package intended package of a packing machine, whereby among other things a large amount of personnel can be set free for other tasks.
Said object is accomplished by means of a device according to the present invention, which is mainly characterized therein, that a number flaps are located above the upwards inclined sorting conveyor by carriers divided into compartments, extending substantially in line with passing carriers and forming an extension of the same, arranged to actuate a sausage to be directed in said compartment before delivery of the sausage to packing and preferably that a carrier conveyor provided with transverse walls, which is divided into sausage receiving compartments and cooperative with a receiving part operating under the same, dividing into packing distances, which receiving part is movable for delivery of sausages received thereon to intended packing part, has the transverse sausage compartment dividing walls of the carrier conveyor extending to an active height below the diameter of a sausage so that said carrier wall draws a sausage dropped down lowest in the sausage depository, which ends in the area above said carrier conveyor.
The invention is described in the following as a preferred embodiment, whereby is referred to the appended drawings, on which
FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a machine for handling of sausage between a feeder and a delivering device for sausage to packing,
FIG. 2 shows a part of the machine, namely a haulage conveyor with cooperating sausage positioner,
FIG. 3 shows a further part of the machine, in particular an outputting sausage depository, and
FIG. 4 shows a sausage delivering device at a packing device.
A device 1 for a machine 2, which is intended for handling of elongated sausages 3, such as e.g. hot dogs or similar sausage which is transported between a sausage feeder 4 and a delivering device 5 for sausage 3 to be packed in a suitable package 6, is provided to be applicable to function at a conveyor 7, which operates between said sausage feeder 4 and sausage delivering device 5.
The sausage feeder 4 may be constituted by a trough 4A with a conveyor 4B at the bottom of the same in order to output sausage 3 after filling of sausage 3 therein further to packing and thereby owing to its volume operate as a buffer depository for sausage 3.
According to the invention a number of flaps 8 are located in a row after each other above said conveyor 7. Said flaps 8 are arranged to extend essentially in line 9 with carriers 10, which are situated on the up-conveyor 7, for dividing of this into a number of compartments 11, when the conveyor 7 with the carriers 10 pass in the transport direction 12. Said flaps 8 are provided to form an extension of carriers 10 when these pass the flaps 8, for instance as is shown in FIG. 2, with said flaps 8 provided resilient by the material in itself or journalled pivotable in direction 18 between said line extension 9 and folded-up position along the transport direction 12.
Said flaps 8,
