Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently perform the storage work and the pick-up work of a canister bagged in a tea factory, by driving the loop of an endless chain, mounting many canister-loading buckets in a predetermined pitch, to be intermittently moved and stopped. CONSTITUTION:Two rows of endless chains 5, being tensely provided between a set of left and right and upper and bottom sprockets 2 secured to many axes 1, turnably support buckets 10. A reduction motor 20, actuating a set of the axies 1 serving as a vertical axis 1', normally and reversely rotates or stops a loop A of the chain 5. The motor 20 is stopped by engaging an engaging piece 14 of the bucket 10 with a limit switch 30, and a supply device 32 intermittently drops a canister one by one to be supplied to the bucket 10 stopped in a stop position. The device 32, confirming the canister for whether or not it exists on the bucket 10 by a sensor 34, prevents the next canister from being supplied if the canister is loaded. The bucket 10, being inverted by engaging an inverting lever 41 in a pick-up device 40 with a guide roller 15 of the bucket 10, drops down the loaded canister.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention This invention relates to a T ocean storage device that automatically accommodates, stores, and takes out a large number of cylindrical "oceans" filled with tea.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

At the tea factory, the "tea" that has completed the #tea process is 30K
Pack 40kg or 40kg each into a moisture-proof bag called ``Oumi''. This ``ocean'' is manually piled up one by one in a corner of the factory until it is shipped, and then it is broken down and loaded onto a truck before shipping.
- At the Sana Tea Factory, 100 to 2 (1) bottles of "Okai" are shipped out early in the morning, so piling them up and shipping them out is a lot of work, so the tea making process has been automated and the number of workers has been reduced. However, many gourd vendors are needed for this work. In addition, the stacking height of ``Wataru 1'' by hand is 2.
However, there are limits to the amount of water available, so a large floor area is required to temporarily pile up the ``ocean'', which is a heavy burden, especially for tea factories in mountainous areas with small site areas.

[Purpose of the invention]

First, in consideration of the above facts, the purpose of this invention is to store a large number of "oceans" in a three-dimensional manner by sequentially accommodating one "ocean" packed in a bag, and to sequentially take out "oceans" at the time of shipping. The purpose of this project is to provide an automatic storage device for the "ocean" that can be used to reduce the burden on workers and reduce the floor space required for tea factories. When storing a large ocean of stored tea for a long period of time, it is possible to identify the large ocean during storage and at the time of removal (based on the type of stored tea, date of production, etc.), and the desired The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic storage device for "oceans" that can easily take out "oceans" and to streamline storage and retrieval operations of "oceans".

[Structure of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object No. 1.2, the ocean storage device according to the present invention includes an endless chain loop, and a chain that is attached to the loop at a predetermined pitch by being pivotally supported on the endless chain. A large number of buckets for placing "Oumi", a drive device that intermittently moves and stops the endless chain, a supply device for "Oumi" arranged on one side of the loop, and "Oumi" arranged on the other side. and a take-out device.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show embodiments of the invention.

A large number of mutually parallel shafts 2 are sprockets in which the stave ends ζ of each shaft 1 are aligned and fixed. 51, each axis 1
It is an endless chain of 2 tlJ stretched between the two sprockets at the end of the chain. Since the shaft 1 at the end is on the upper side, the endless chain 5, which is sequentially stretched between the sprockets 2 of each shaft 1, has a loop (forming a Q-ring shape) whose upper part goes up and down a number of sieves and bends and detours. A is already formed.

The bucket 10 has support shafts 1) at the top of both ends, and a bottom surface 12 having a T-shaped shape, for example, a concave curved surface, on which the "Oumi" can be placed.
and a side wall 13 that integrally connects the bottom surface 12 and the supporting shafts 1) and 1) on both ends thereof, and is rotatably supported between the two rows of endless chains 5, 5. . Also,
Similarly, a large number of buckets 10 are arranged at a predetermined pitch m within the loop A of the endless chain 5 [to be described later, buckets 10
Even when the bucket 10 is reversed, the bucket 10 is pivoted so that it does not come into contact with the buckets 10 before and after it. Each bucket 10 has its center of gravity below the spindle 1) regardless of whether or not there is an "ocean" on which it is placed, so whether the endless chain 5 rises or descends, it will always center around the spindle 1). Move while suspended.

Further, the deceleration motor is applied in detail as shown in FIG. 4, by using the backs of the plurality of sleeves 1 as driven shafts 1', so that the loop A of the endless chain 5 is reversed in the forward direction or stopped.

At the bottom of the left and right ends of the endless chain 5 to the loop, a supply device 30 and a take-out device 40 of the "Okai" are installed adjacent to each other.

At the bottom of the left end to the loop, there is a T shown in detail in FIG.
Limit switch for setting the stop position of bucket 10 (
9), and when the engagement piece 14 fixed to one side end of each bucket 10 engages the limit switch I, the deceleration motor is stopped, if necessary, and each bucket 10 is activated. Stop at the stop position.

The "Oumi" supply device (9) includes an "Oumi" supply conveyor 31 that intermittently drops a large number of "Oumi" stacked side by side one by one toward the bucket 10 stopped at the stop position; The supply conveyor 31 and the bucket 10 are connected to each other and the roller conveyor 32 is inclined downward. Guide rollers 15+'15 are pivoted on both sides of the left end of each bucket 10, and guide rollers 331'33 are provided at the stop position □ of the bucket 10, / I'll stop the swinging of Kokeshito 10, so I'll roll the 40Kg "Oumi" and cough! Even when feeding into the bucket 10, the bucket 10 does not shake much, and of course, the shock at the time of feeding does not spread to other buckets 10. The engagement piece 14 of 10 is connected to the limit switch 3o [this is sure to engage the limit switch 3o]. Also, the above-mentioned stop position ff1l for supplying the "ocean" confirms whether or not there is an "ocean" on the bucket 10 to be stopped. ↑Sensor 34 (reflective photoelectric switch etc. is suitable) is 8
However, even if each bucket 10 stops, if an "ocean" is placed on the bucket, it will not supply the next "ocean".

The "Oumi" take-out device 40 is shown in detail in FIG. 3, but at the lower right end of the loop A of the endless chain 5, the guide roller 15 of the bucket 10, which is rotating in the normal direction (indicated by the solid arrow), When the reversing lever 41, which can be freely engaged and detached, is engaged, the reversing lever 41 holds the guide plate 15, so as the bucket 10 descends, the bucket 10 is reversed, and the bottom surface 12 of the bucket 10 becomes steeply sloped. When the bucket 10 is lowered further, the Gaitoco P15 is disengaged from the reversing lever 41, and the bucket 10 returns to its original suspended state, allowing the bucket 10 to fall down. The extraction is complete. The reversing lever 41 is fixed to a rotating shaft 431 rotated by an air cylinder 42.

With the above configuration, the "ocean" filled with tea and packed into a cylindrical shape is sequentially accommodated, stored, and taken out as follows (1) to the supply conveyor 31. The "ocean" that is placed one after another is a bucket that stops at the stop position for supply! - If "Oumi" is not placed on No. 10 (as confirmed by the sensor 34), the supply conveyor 31 will operate slightly and the first one will be dropped. The "ocean" rolls on the surface of the roller conveyor 32 and is fed and deposited onto the bottom surface 12 of the bucket 10.

(2) When the placed "Oumi" is confirmed by the sensor 34, loop 8 of the endless chain 5 (to the next bucket) reaches the stop position (confirmed by limit switch I). Move forward to 2.

(31 After (1) above, add a knife to bucket 10.
If the "Oumi" is placed at ilL, the loop A of the endless chain 5 is moved in the normal direction to welcome the next bucket 10 (4) When the next bucket 10 stops, the above lit
+ t2) In the same manner as r fal, if "Oumi" is not placed, "Oumi" is supplied and the next bucket 10 is received again, and if it is placed in the bucket, it is continued to the next bucket. Welcome to Bucket 10.

151-] Just like a steamed bun, if you go to the empty buckets 10 with "Oumi" - the butler, "Oumi" will be placed in the bucket 1o of Chobe τ.

(6) At the Aracha tea factory, the process is carried out overnight or for several days.
1 will be temporarily saved as is. In addition, when storing for a long period of several months, such as in a finishing factory, it is necessary to keep each "ocean" at a cool temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius by using a cooling device.

(7) When the "ocean" is taken down, the endless chain 5 is moved in normal rotation and the air cylinder jt 42 is operated.
is rotated so that the idle rollers 15 of each bucket 10 are brought into engagement with the reversing lever 41.

(8) While the air cylinder conversion was being activated [while taking out the “Oumi”], the bucket 10 passed through the reversing lever 41
``Ocean'' can be extracted from the awn. When the extraction of the "ocean" is completed, the air cylinder 42 is OFFPed to reverse the rotary shaft rotation and the reversing lever 41 is disengaged.

(9) The “ocean” taken out is transferred to the takeout conveyor 45.
The tea leaves fall to the top and are transported directly to a truck for transportation or to a tea machine for finishing.

In 2S filters, #In tea factories and finishing factories, a lot of tea powder accumulates in floating slag, so cover the entire loop of the endless chain 5 with a wall ω such as an iron plate as necessary. In this case, if a part or the whole of the wall ω is made transparent, it is easy to see the type and number of oceans [such as the type of tea sealed and the type of destination to be shipped].

However, if the path of the endless chain 5 on the front side wall (2) is formed from a transparent plate 61, and the side wall (13) of the bucket (10) is simply a framework, the side surface (S) of the "ocean" on which it is placed can be seen. The ``ocean j'' placed thereon can be easily seen, and the type of ``ocean'' can be easily known from the marks added to the side surface S. When the loop A of the endless chain 5 is turned forward or backward, the operator can guide it to the take-out part and quickly take out the "ocean" that he wants to take out.

[1. Effects of the Invention] As described above, the ocean storage all according to this invention 12 has a loop of an endless chain, and a large number of ``ocean storage all'' attached to the M loop at a predetermined pitch by supporting the endless chain with a pivot T. '' loading bucket, a drive device that can intermittently move and stop the endless chain, and a ``
The system consists of a supply device for the "Oumi" and a take-out device for the "Oumi" disposed on the other side. Since it is possible to sequentially accommodate the ``ocean'', store it, and extract it as needed, the IJJI tea factory can automate the work from night to morning, when it is difficult for workers to gather, and it saves workers time. This greatly reduces the burden on the user.Secondly, since the ``Oumi J'' can be placed three-dimensionally (top and bottom, left and right), a large number of ``Oumi'' can be accommodated and stored even in a narrow installation space. It can be easily introduced into tea factories, and it promotes the automatic production, storage, and extraction of the ``ocean''.

Thirdly, the number of stored "oceans" is the number of times the endless chain 5 is bent and detoured in the vertical direction [proportional to the total length of loop A]
is determined by the vertical height I, but since each bucket 10 in the rising state and each bucket 10 in the descending state cancel out their weight, the endless chain 5 and the glaze that drives it A large load is not applied to the 1st class, and it is possible to increase the height in the vertical direction to accommodate a larger number of "Okai", and the Okai storage 7i1. The # position can be easily adapted to either the peak or the side, depending on the location. In addition, the endless chains 5, 5, the sprocket 2 shafts P that drive them, the machine frame (not shown in the drawings), etc. can be constructed from lighter materials, and the deceleration motor only requires a small output. The cost is low.

Fourth, the bucket 10 that is mounted on the endless chain 5 is
Because the "Oumi" is placed on the rack, the "Oumi" is always suspended and stable even if the endless chain 5 is twisted and detoured. Also, when taking out bucket 10, turn it over slightly and put bucket 1
The "Okai" placed on the table is easily discharged by simply tilting the folding surface of the "0", so the take-out device 40 is small, simple and inexpensive.Fifth, the Okai storage R device according to the present invention , Conveyor, "Oumi" weighing/bagging machine, packing machine [
[not shown in the illustration]], etc., and by continuing the loading truck bed of [Okai], it is possible to completely automate the shipping work of ``tea'' at a tea factory.
