Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for efficiently loading articles. In the preferred embodiment, the invention is useful for processing fruit and loading individual pieces of fruit into bags to contain a predetermined weight of the fruit. The apparatus includes a conveyor having cleats which are angled with respect to the direction of movement of the conveyor. This causes the fruit, or other articles, to be aligned along each cleat. As the cleat passes over an upper end of the conveyor, the fruit is individually discharged into a collecting device, such as a bag. The bag is preferably resting on a scale for indicating the weight of added fruit. In accordance with the disclosed method, a conveyor is operated for a predetermined period of time which automatically loads fruit into the bag to a total weight equal to or less than the desired weight for the bag. A timer then terminates operation of the conveyor, and an operator manually activates the conveyor to add single pieces of fruit until the minimum weight is reached.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for high-speed processing of fruit or the like wherein the fruit is initially accumulated and aligned at a pick-up point for capture in spaced-apart pockets of a singulation conveyor at the pick-up point to maintain the fruit in predetermined linear spacing and to accelerate the fruit to a predetermined processing speed, a processing conveyor being operated at a synchronized speed relative to the singulation conveyor for receiving the individual units of fruit, the fruit being carried in trays past a sensor station after which the fruit is discharged from the trays into one of a plurality of discharge passages according to the individual characteristics of the fruit units. A preferred construction for accumulating and aligning the fruit at the pick-up point comprises multiple interconnecting ramps of different inclinations to further assure a continuous supply of fruit at the pick-up point. The singulation conveyor preferably includes an endless belt having spaced-apart pockets for receiving individual units of fruit and being adapted for passing the pick-up point along an upward incline, each of the pockets being adapted for capturing a first unit of fruit and rejecting subsequent units of fruit, the fruit being projected from the pockets along a short arc for reception by respective trays of the processing conveyor. The trays in the processing conveyor preferably provide three-point support for the fruit to assure proper exposure of random-sized fruit to an optical sensor. Furthermore, the trays are also adapted to facilitate interchangeable connection with the processing conveyor and to facilitate discharge of the fruit into one of the plurality of discharge passages.

Abstract: A fruit storage bin apparatus for temporary storage of fruit has a frame wall, a floor and a ceiling forming an enclosure. An inlet is provided in the upper part of the enclosure and an outlet is provided through the walls in the lower part of the enclosure, while the floor is at a raised position relative to ground level. A center column member is mounted between the floor and the ceiling and has a plurality of support arms attached thereto in predetermined positions to support a fiberglass reinforced polymer chute. The chute is made up of sections connected together and to the support arms for lowering the fruit to the floor level, where it is temporarily stored. The method of making a fruit storage bin for the temporary storage of fruit provides for building a framework, attaching a floor and ceiling to the framework, and then attaching a center column between the floor and ceiling. The support arms are of a predetermined shape and attached in predetermined positions along the center column. Chute sections are attached to the support arms as the support arms are being put on to assure proper positioning of the support arms around the center column.

Abstract: A pair of spaced parallel continuous conveyor chains, provided with equally spaced transverse tow bars, move along a continuous path so as to move the bars through a loading zone, then over a weighing platform of a scale and, then, successively over discharge zones in which receptacles are disposed. Each bar pulls a loosely pivoted article carrying cup having a support pin riding on a rail to hold the cup in a horizontal position. The cup has a central cavity, within which an article is deposited when the cup is in the loading zone, from which the article is discharged when the pin is released and the cup hangs suspended from its bar. Skids carried by the weighing scale receive and totally support the cup on the weighing scale. Movable bridge struts extend between segments of the rail and are movable to drop pin to pivot the cup in one of successive dump zones. A sensor, in combination with a microcomputer, dictates when each bridge strut is opened for dropping the article in a selected dump zone.The process includes moving the articles successively along a path averaging the weight of each article, selecting a dump zone for depositing the article in, totalizing the weight for each zone and then selecting according to optimum weight, the last article for each zone so as to provide at least a predescribed weight of articles while minimize weight overloading for each zone.
