It is inclined 22.5 degrees downward with respect to the horizontal.

[Structure of the transverse section 85] (See FIGS. 5, 8, and 10)
In the cutter support plate 5, four crossing portions 85 are disposed between the vertical cutting cutters 81. The crossing portion 85 has the following structure. A support shaft 88 is rotatably supported by a support frame 87 having a U-shaped cross section, and a cylinder support plate 89 is fixed to the support shaft 88. A crossing cutter operating cylinder 90 is fixed to the cylinder support plate 89, and a crossing cutter 92 is fixed to an operating rod of the crossing cutter operating cylinder 90 via an L-shaped cutter support plate 91. Here, the crossing cutter 92 has a V shape with a sharp tip, and is formed in this V shape. A transverse cutter swing cylinder 93 is fixed to the side of the support frame 87, and a swing lever 94 is rotatably supported on the operating rod of the transverse cutter swing cylinder 93. The swing lever 94 is fixed to the support shaft 88.

  The four crossing sections 85 configured in this way are arranged between the two vertical cutting cutters 81 so that the tip of the cutting edge of the horizontal cutting cutter 92 faces the inner center of the horizontal blade receiving plate 84 cutter grooves 84a and 84b. It is arranged. In this case, in a state in which the transverse cutter swinging cylinder 93 is not operated, the blade portion on one side from the center of the transverse cutter 92 corresponds to the cutter groove 84a of the transverse blade receiving plate 84 corresponding to the blade portion, and the blade on the other side. The portion corresponds to the cutter groove 84b of the horizontal blade receiving plate 84 corresponding to the blade portion. When the operating rod of the crossing cutter swinging cylinder 93 is activated and protrudes, the crossing cutter operating cylinder 90 and the cylinder support plate 89 swing 45 degrees about the support shaft 88 via the swinging lever 94. Thereby, from the center of the horizontal cutter 92, one blade portion corresponds to the cutter groove 84b of the horizontal blade receiving plate 84 corresponding to the blade portion, and the other blade portion corresponds to the horizontal blade receiving plate 84 corresponding to the blade portion. Corresponds to the cutter groove 84a.

  Next, the operation will be described. Before starting, as shown in FIG. 2, the roller 31 of the first positioning unit 30 is open, the roller 41 of the outer diameter detection unit 40 is closed by the biasing force of the spring 50, and the crossing cutter of the crossing unit 85 92 is in a retracted state. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the carrot 1 is inserted into the root vegetable insertion cylinder 11 of the root vegetable support 10 with the tip of the carrot 1 downward. Thereby, the tip of the carrot 1 is supported by the four root vegetables support plates 14. When the start switch is pressed, the root vegetables positioning cylinder 38 of the first positioning unit 30 shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 is operated, and the operating rod of the root vegetables positioning cylinder 38 is projected. As a result, the operation lever 37 rotates about the support shaft 34, and one roller 31 is operated inward via the one roller support lever 33. Further, the other roller support lever 33 rotates about the support shaft 34 via the gear 36, and the other roller 31 operates inward. That is, the two rollers 31 are closed, and the carrot 1 inserted into the root vegetable support 10 is sandwiched and positioned by the V-shaped groove of the roller 31.

  Next, when the root vegetable pressing cylinder 21 of the root vegetable pressing portion 20 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is operated and the operating rod of the root vegetable pressing cylinder 21 is retracted, the pressing rod 23 is lowered via the operating lever 22. And push down the carrot 1 downward. As a result, the push-down bar 23 pushes down the carrot 1 against the urging force of the root vegetables positioning cylinder 38 that urges the roller 31. The tip of the carrot 1 is pushed down to a certain position below the vertical cut portion 80 through the roller 41 and the second positioning portion 60 of the outer diameter detecting portion 40 shown in FIGS. The fixed position where the carrot 1 is pushed down will be described later. In this case, the root vegetable support plate 14 of the root vegetable support 10 is opened and closed following the outer diameter of the carrot 1 by the elastic force (biasing force) of the spring 15.

  When the carrot 1 reaches the roller 41 of the outer diameter detection unit 40, the roller 41 is opened against the urging force of the spring 50 by the downward pressing force of the carrot 1. When the roller 41 is opened, the roller support lever 43 and the detection plate 47 rotate about the support shaft 42, and the rotation amount of the detection plate 47 is detected by the outer diameter detection sensor 51. In this case, the time when the outer diameter detection sensor 51 detects the movement of the detection plate 47 when the roller 41 starts to open is stored in the end storage memory (not shown) as the lower end of the carrot 1. Further, the degree of opening of the roller 41 varies depending on the outer diameter of the carrot 1, and this degree of opening is detected by the outer diameter detecting sensor 51. Therefore, the outer diameter of the carrot 1 is continuously detected. That is, when the carrot 1 passes between the rollers 41, the outer diameter of the carrot 1 is detected, and the detected value is stored in an outer diameter storage memory (not shown).

  Since the vertical length from the roller 41 to the center of the crossing cutter 92 is known, when the lower end portion of the carrot 1 is detected as described above, the push-down bar 23 moves from the roller 41 to the center of the crossing cutter 92. Is lowered to the length of Thereby, the lower end part of the carrot 1 is located in the center part of the crossing cutter 92, that is, the inner part of the cutter grooves 84a and 84b. When the carrot 1 passes between the rollers 41, the upper end portion of the vertical cutting cutter 81 of the carrot 1 is positioned on the root vegetables positioning plate 65 of the second positioning portion 60 by the elastic force (biasing force) of a spring (not shown). When the carrot 1 passes through the root vegetables positioning plate 65, the carrot 1 is divided into four by the vertical cutting cutter 81.

  As described above, when the lower end portion of the carrot 1 is positioned at the center of the crossing cutter 92, the crossing cutter operating cylinder 90 of the crossing portion 85 operates. Thereby, the crossing cutter 92 moves forward through the cutter support plate 91, and the lower end portion of the carrot 1 divided into four is cut obliquely. Here, whether the first cut product is processed as a non-defective product or a defective product can be selected by the user. The weight of the cut product is calculated by the calculation unit based on the outer diameter of the part to be cut, the amount by which the carrot 1 is pushed down, the inclination angle of the transverse cutter 92, and the like. Therefore, the first cut product can be processed as a non-defective product. However, since the first cut product has a shape different from that of a non-defective cut product to be described later, it may be processed as a defective product for users who place importance on quality and shape. When processing as a defective product, it is processed by the method described later.

  Next, the root vegetable pressing cylinder 21 of the root vegetable pressing portion 20 is actuated to press down the pressing bar 23 by a certain amount. This amount of push-down is a calculation (not shown) due to the relationship between the outer diameter data of the carrot 1 detected by the outer diameter detection sensor 51 and stored in the outer diameter storage memory, and the cut weight (weight). Part. That is, the amount by which the carrot 1 is pushed down by the push-down rod 23 is controlled according to the size of the outer diameter of the carrot 1. At the same time, the crossing cutter swinging cylinder 93 is operated, and the swinging lever 94, the crossing cutter operating cylinder 90, the cutter support plate 91, and the crossing cutter 92 are rotated 45 degrees around the support shaft 88. As a result, the crossing cutter 92 is inclined 22.5 degrees in the reverse direction.

  After the carrot 1 is pushed down by a certain amount and the crossing cutter 92 is rotated 45 degrees, the crossing cutter operating cylinder 90 of the crossing part 85 is operated as described above. Thereby, the crossing cutter 92 moves forward via the cutter support plate 91, and the lower end portion of the carrot 1 divided into four is cut in a direction opposite to the above. As described above, the operation of pushing down the carrot 1 by the push-down rod 23 according to the outer diameter of the carrot 1 to be cut and the operation of rotating the crossing cutter 92 by 45 degrees after the crossing cutter 92 moves forward and cuts the carrot 1 are repeated. Cut the carrot 1 in half. Thereby, a cut product turns into a cut product of the combined shape of a triangular surface and a trapezoid surface, for example.

  By the way, when the push-down rod 23 of the root vegetable push-down unit 20 pushes down the upper end of the carrot 1 to the upper end of the longitudinal cutter 81, the upper end of the carrot 1 is separated from the root vegetable positioning plate 65 of the second positioning unit 60. The uncut carrot 1 left away from the root vegetables positioning plate 65 is significantly different from the non-defective product in weight, shape, etc., and therefore needs to be treated as a defective product. If there is no root vegetable end part holding part 70, this cut remaining product will fall as it is and will be mixed with good products. In the present embodiment, the uncut product is held by the root vegetables holding plate 73 of the root vegetables end holding part 70 extending above the crossing cutter 92 of the crossing part 85, and is prevented from being mixed into non-defective products. . As described above, since the vertical groove 23 a is formed in the push-down bar 23 so as not to interfere with the vertical cutting cutter 81, the push-down bar 23 is necessary to push down the cut residue held on the root vegetables holding plate 73. Can be lowered by an appropriate amount. As a result, the uncut product is dropped downward and distributed to the defective product storage portion by a distribution chute (not shown).

  Although not shown, a sorting chute is provided below the cutter support plate 5 to sort the non-defective and non-defective carrots 1 as in Patent Document 1. Therefore, when the first cut product is processed as a defective product, and when the last cut remaining product is processed as a defective product, the sorting chute is distributed to the defective product storage.

  In the present embodiment, after the carrot 1 is inserted into the root vegetable support part 10, the carrot 1 is positioned by the first positioning part 30. Thereafter, the carrot 1 is roughly cut by the action of pushing down the push-down rod 23 and the action of crossing the carrot 1 with the crossing cutter 92. Thus, since very few processes are sufficient, productivity improves remarkably. In addition, it is only necessary to insert the carrot 1 into the root vegetable support 10 and it is not necessary to have the upper end of the carrot 1 chucked by the chuck portion.

  Further, a root vegetable support 10 for inserting the carrot 1, a first positioning part 30 for opening and closing and positioning and holding the carrot 1, a root vegetable pressing part 20 for pressing the carrot 1, and an outside for detecting the outer diameter of the carrot 1. Diameter detection unit 40, second positioning unit 60 that elastically holds and positions ginseng 1, vertical cutting cutter 81 that is vertically disposed to vertically cut ginseng 1, and cross-cutting cutter that crosses ginseng 1 92. Since these structures are simple, the number of devices can be reduced. The outer diameter detection unit 40 is configured to detect the amount of movement of the roller that moves according to the outer diameter of the carrot 1, so that the outer diameter is automatically detected simply by pushing down the carrot 1. That is, since the outer diameter of the carrot 1 is detected immediately and continuously, the detection accuracy is improved, the accuracy of the cut quality (weight) is improved, and the detection time is greatly shortened.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the carrot 1 is divided into four by the four vertical cutting cutters 81 of the vertical cutting unit 80 has been described. However, the number of divisions is not limited. It can also be applied when dividing. Moreover, although the crossing cutter 92 demonstrated the case where the divided carrot 1 was cut | disconnected by 22.5 degree | times with respect to the horizontal, it does not specifically limit about the inclination angle to cut, For example, it is 30 with respect to the horizontal. At this time, the crossing cutter operating cylinder 90 may be cut by swinging 60 degrees. Moreover, although the case where the carrot 1 was manually inserted in the root vegetables support part 10 was demonstrated, it cannot be overemphasized that you may make it insert automatically. Moreover, although the case where it adapted to the carrot 1 was demonstrated, it is applicable also to root vegetables, such as a radish and a burdock.
