Of course, if the nipple 2a of the garlic 2 is positioned in the 'reference direction' through the recognition means 20, the amount of the garlic 2 in the 'reference direction' It is not necessary to perform the alignment process.

Thus, when the sorting process of the garlic 2 is completed, it is conveyed along the conveyor means 50 to the cutting means 40.

8A, the garlic 2 transferred to the cutting means 40 along the conveyor means 50 is picked up by the second camera 422 constituted at the first carry-out portion 42 11, when the faucet 2a having a color thinner than the body of the garlic 2 is recognized as an error range in the photographed image, as shown in Fig. 8B, the first take-out switch 424 And is conveyed to the extrusion portion 44 without interference.

8A, when the nip 2a of the garlic 2 photographed by the second camera 422 is out of the error range or the nip 2a is not recognized, Out switch 424 of the switch 42 is operated.

8B, when the pushing guide 444 formed at the end of the piston rod pushes the garlic 2 by the reciprocating sliding force acting on the cylinder 442, The garlic 2 being pushed by the pushing-out guide 444 is pushed to the reference plate 446 provided at the position corresponding to the pushing-out guide 444.

Thus, the garlic (2) located at the conveyor means (50) is aligned by the reference plate (446) to the cutting position.

The garlic (2) aligned through the conveyor means (50) is then placed in the cut section (46).

9 and 10, the garlic 2 positioned at the cut portion 46 enters the cutter 462 rotating with its upper end being supported by the support member 464, The faucet 2a of the garlic 2 is cut.

The cutter 462 can maintain the state where the cut tip 2 a is attached to one side by cutting the garlic tip 2 a but the cutter 462 has one side of the cutter 462 The foreign material is removed by the foreign material removing member 466 and the water absorbed by the foreign material removing member 466 is buried in the cutter 462 so that the cut surface of the garlic 2 is guided to have a clean cut surface at a later time.

When the cutting of the garlic 2 is completed, the garlic 2 is conveyed along the conveyor means 50 to the second carry-out portion 48. At this time, the third camera 482 of the second carry- When the cut surface is located within the error range after the image of the garlic 2 is shot, it is considered that the normal cut has been made and the second take-out switch 484 is not operated and is passed.

If the photographed image of the third camera 482 is out of the error range or a part of the nip 2a is recognized, the second unloading switch 484 is operated and carried out to a defective position. The operation relationship of the second carry-out section 48 has an operating relationship similar to that shown in FIG. 8 showing the operation relationship of the first carry-out section 42, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
