T 2'1224252 i PATENTS ACT 1977 P5699GB/ALM/mkf Description of Invention
"Conveying apparatus having L-shaped hanger" THIS INVENTION relates to a conveying apparatus having Lshaped hangers for use, for example, in an automotive assembly line.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a conventional suspension conveying apparatus which has Lshaped hangers and in which foreign matter, such as oil, worn particles, etc., may be prevented from falling upon the conveyed articles. An article carrying portion 3 of an L-shaped hanger 2 which is suspended from an overhead conveyor 1 is situated sidewardly of the conveyor 1 with a partition plate 4 arranged therebetween for preventing foreign matter from scattering onto the conveyed article, such as the illustrated automotive body A. A momental force due to the conveyed article A acts upon the Lshaped hanger 2 and is resisted by a roller 5 which is adapted to roll against a guide rail 8 and is mounted on a frame 6 attached to vertical portion 3' of the hanger 2 with a reinforcing bracket 7 therebetween.
In the above-mentioned prior art apparatus, the distance between the guide roller 5 and the centre of the tilting motion is relatively large, and consequently the momental force acting upon the frame 6 becomes significantly large due to the substantial weight of the conveyed article, such as an automotive body. Thus, a reinforcing structure, such as the bracket 7, is required, which increases the total weight of the hanger 2. Moreoverg since the reaction force between the guide roller 5 and the rail 8 acts vertically downwardly, the load acting upon the carrier rail of the overhead conveyor correspondingly substantially increases. Thus, the load acting upon the overhead conveyor increases correspondingly, which necessitiates an increase in the strength of the component parts of the overhead conveyor, which in turn requires a larger driving force for the conveyor.
Furthermore, although the partition plate 4 may be able to prevent foreign matter from falling ontothe automotive body A, it cannot prevent foreign matter from falling straight downwardly of the conveyor. Therefore, in cases where the automotive bodies are coated by electrodeposition, there is a drawback that oil, dust, etc., are likely to fall into and contaminate a processing bath in which the bodies are conveyed for pre treatment.
According to the present invention, there is provided a conveying apparatus comprising: an overhead conveyor movable along a path; an L-shaped hanger suspended from the overhead conveyor, the hanger having a load supporting portion projecting and located sidewardly of the conveyor; a guide roller provided on the load supporting portion; and a fixed guide rail for guiding the roller as the hanger moves along the path.
Owing to the above structure, the load acting upon the overhead conveyor may be reduced, thereby making it possible to simplify the whole.structure of the conveying apparatus as well as to reduce the total weight of the apparatus.
The L-shaped hanger may be suspended through a C- shaped fitting, the opening of said C shape facing toward the load supporting portion of said hanger; and a foreign matter shielding means may be provided having both a A horizontal plate member projecting into the opening of said C shape and an upright plate member. Such a shielding means can effectively prevent foreign matter, such as dust, oil, etc., caused by the overhead conveyor from entering the processing bath.
Alternatively, the guide roller may be provided immediately below the vertical portion of said hanger.
Furthermore, guide rollers may also be provided at substantially the same height as the point of suspension of said hanger.
The conveying apparatus of the present invention is particularly effective where it is necessary to separate the conveying apparatus from a severe atmosphere, such as when drying, coating,. flushing, etc. of automotive bodies.
In order that the invention may be more readily understood, embodiments thereof will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side view of a prior art conveying apparatus;
Figure 2 is a front view of a conveying apparatus according to one embodiment of this invention; Figure 3 is a side view of the figure 2 embodiment wherein an automotive body is conveyed in a processing bath; Figure 4 is a side view similar to Figure 3 showing another embodiment of the invention; Figure 5 is a side view showing the hanger of Figure 4 with no conveyed article thereon; Figure 6 is a front view similar to Figure 2 but showing a further embodiment; Figure 7 is a side view similar to Figure 3 but of the embodiment of Figure 6; Figure 8 is a side view of the hanger of Figure 7 where -there is no conveyed article thereon; Figure 9 is a side view similar to Figure 7 but of still a further embodiment; and Figure 10 is a side view partly in section illustrating the application of this invention tothe conveying of automotive bodies in a drying room after coating.
Figure 2 is a side view of one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 3 is a front view thereof depicting an automotive body being conveyed in a bath. A duplex overhead conveyor 10 comprises a power rail 11, a driving chain 12 adapted to be movably guided along the rail 11, a front-most front trolley 14, a rearmost front trolley 15, a front-most rear trolley 16 and a rearmost rear trolley 17 adapted to be driven by the driving chain pair of L-shaped trolleys 15, 16 respectively such that the hangers may swing both longitudinally and sidewardly relative to the conveying direction of the conveyor as explained later. The L shaped hangers 18, 18 are connected by an upper horizontal bar 19 and a lower horizontal bar 191. The load supporting portions 181, 18' of the hangers 18, 18 project generally horizontally and are located 12 and guided by a free rail 13. A hangers 18, 18 are mounted on the A sidewardly of the overhead conveyor 10 and support a conveyed article A, such as an automotive body. Since the L-shaped hangers 18, 18 may swing longitudinally, the conveying path may be inclined relative to the horizontal. And since the hangers may swing sidewardly, the hangers may be allowed to be tilted as shown in Figure 5 under their own weight, as when co nveyance of automotive bodies is not necessary, thus saving sideward space for carrying empty hangers.
A collector 20 is adapted to slide against a feeding rail 22 provided on a wall of a pre-treatment tank 21 when an automotive body A is submerged in the tank 21 as shown in Figure 3.
A guide roller 23 is provided on the respective load supporting portion 18, of each of the L-shaped hangers 18, the rollers 23 being guided by a guide rail 24 disposed along the conveying path of the article A to prevent the hangers from tilting. The guide rail 24 is required to restrain only the sideward movement of the guide rollers 23, and there is no need to restrain the vertical movement of the rollers 23.
Figure 4 shows another embodiment of this invention in a view similar to figure 3. The same reference numerals denote the same or similar component parts as before.
The L-shaped hanger 18 is suspended from the overhead conveyor 10 through 'a C-shaped fitting 25 such that it can swing both longitudinally and sidewardlY. A first (upper) hinge-type coupling 25a connects the trolley 15, 16 and the fitting 25 to permit longitudinal swinging of the hanger, and a second (lower) hinge-type coupling 25b connects the fitting 25 and the hanger to permit sideward swinging of the hanger. The fitting 25 opens sidewardly toward the load supporting portion 18, of the L-shaped hanger 18.
A foreign matter shielding means 26 comprises a horizontal plate member 26a and an upright plate member 26b. The opening of the fitting 25 accommodates the horizontal plate member 26a, whereas the up right plate 26a projects upwardly along the side of the conveyor.
Foreign matter, such as oil, worn particles, dust, etc., which may drop from the overhead conveyor may be deposited on the horizontal plate member 26a so that it will not enter the solution contained in the tank 21; and the possible sideward scattering of such foreign matter may be prevented by the upright plate member 26b so that it will likewise not contaminate the solution.
The guide roller 23 may be provided at any desired position on the load supporting portion 181; however, it goes without saying that the larger the distance between the guide roller and the centre of the pivotal motion of the hanger, the smaller is the load acting upon the roller due to the tilting moment.
The L-shaped hanger 18 is capable of swinging transversely as shown in Figure 5. Thus, in those sections where no conveyance of automotive bodies is necessary, by eliminating the rail 24, the hanger may be tilted so that the sideward space required for the conveyance of the empty hangers may be substantially minimized.
Figures 6 to 8 show a further embodiment of this invention. As before, the like numerals denote like component parts, and explanation of such parts will be abbreviated.
i i_ At the centre of the lower horizontal bar 191, and immediately below (that is, at the lower end of) the vertical portion 1811 of the L-shaped hangers 18, 18, a lower guide roller 231 is provided such that it can be guided by a lower guide rail 241.
Moreoverv at the lower side of the C-shaped fittings 25, 25, upper guide rollers 27, 27 are respectively provided at almost the same height as the hinge defining the second couplings 25b, 25b. These upper guide rollers 27, 27 at substantially the same level as the couplings 25b are adapted to contact the inner surface of an upper guide rail 28 to prevent the L shaped hangers 18, 18 from tilting clockwise about the contact point of the lower guide roller 231 with the lower guide rail 24?. The upper guide rail 28, which is U-shaped and upwardly opening, is connected to the wall 29. Said upper guide rail 28 also functions to receive dust which may be caused as the collector 20 slidingly moves along the feeding rail 22.
This embodiment facilitates transfer of the conveyed articles A to the hanger by means of a lifter, since the lower guide roller 23' is not provided at the load supporting portion 181 as was the case with the first embodiment.
Furthermore, the provision of a single lower guide roller 23' facilitates the change between the horizontal and tilting positions of the hanger when it enters into and leaves the tank 21, sin ce the path of the guide roller 231 will be simple.
In addition, the provision of the upper guide rollers 271 27 and the guide rail 28 serves to stabilize the position of the second coupling 25b, thereby rendering the movement of the hanger 18 within the tank 21 more stable.
In this case, two upper guide rollers 27, 27 and a single lower guide roller 23' make three-point contact with the upper guide rail 28 and lower guide rail 241, which ensures well stabilized conveyance.
The conventional L-shaped hanger of Figure 1 has been incapable of swinging transversely, thereby requiring the guide rail 8 even in an empty hanger return line. Thus, it has not been possible to branch out or converge lines. However, in'the described embodiments of this invention, the L-shaped hangers may swing transversely, which makes it possible to dispense with the guide rails in the empty hanger returning lines. Therefore, branching out and converging of lines can be easily carried out.
Figure 9 illustrates an embodiment in which the lower guide rail 24, as placed in the tank defines a zigzag line along the conveying direction. Thus, the Lshaped hanger 18 also swings sidewardly as it moves longitudinally through the tank 21, thereby enabling air entrapped under the roof of the conveyed automotive body to be expelled. Thus, the pretreatment electrodeposition may be more effectively carried out.
Moreover, Figure 9 shows a modification of the foreign matter shielding means, which comprises inclined roof members 30 and 31 covering the surface of the bath in the tank. The tip 30a of the roof member 30 projects into the opening of the C-shaped fitting 25; and the roof member 31 projects adjacent the back of the fitting 25. In this case, a collector 201 and a feeding rail 221 are provided above the roof member 20. This modified structure serves to simplify the structure above the roof members; and maintenance of the overhead conveyor becomes -1 31 easier.
Figure 10 depicts a possible application of the L shaped hanger of the present invention. A frame 40 of a drying room 41 for automotive bodies A after coating is arranged such that it substantially encloses automotive bodies A. Insulating material 42 is attached to the inner surfaces of the room 41. Hot air inlets 43 and outlets 44 are provided adjacent to the inner wall of the room 41. In a lower region of the room 41, a longitudinally elongated slit 45 is provided so that the proximal end of the load supporting portion 18f of the L shaped hanger 18 may pass therethrough. The slit 45 may preferably be sealed by means of a known air curtain means 46.
According to this particular embodiment, the driving portion of the conveying apparatus may be completely separated from the severe atmosphere within the drying room. Consequently, possible corrosion of various mechanical parts, or degradation of lubricating oil, etc., due to such severe atmosphere may be positively prevented, and the maintenance work of the conveyor will be easy.
Alternatively, the room may be for the coating or flushing of auotmotive bodies; then, the separation between the conveying apparatus and the room ensures that oil, dust etc., which may be caused by the conveyor will not be introduced into the room, which may affect the quality of such processing.
The room 41 as above mentioned may not necessarily be enclosed completely; a simple partition wall may be adequate so long as the atmosphere surrounding the conveyed articles and the conveying apparatus may be effectively separated.
