PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laver separating method and laver separating mechanism, for improving reliability of separation supply of a laver sheet from a laver hopper and enabling a reduction or nonpressure of a pressure brought with sending out a bundle of laver sheets in a laver hopper so as to surely supply laver sheets one by one.SOLUTION: Adhesiveness of the laver sheets is detected by a laver sensor 21 arranged on the side surface of an opening 19 for taking out the laver sheets in the laver hopper 15 and the number of rotation of a motor 4 for conveying and supplying laver is changed to control slide amount of a pressing plate 17 so that the laver sheets have appropriate adhesiveness.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】海苔ホッパ内からの海苔シートの分離供給の信頼性を向上すると共に、海苔ホッパ内での海苔シート束の送り出しに伴う圧力の低減または無圧化を可能にすることで海苔シートを一枚ずつ確実に供給できるようにする。【解決手段】海苔ホッパ15の海苔シート取出用の開口部19側面に配した海苔センサ21で海苔シートの密着度を検知させ、当該海苔シートが適度な密着となるように海苔搬送供給用モータ4の回転数を変えて押板17のスライド量を制御する。【選択図】図5
