Description of the Related Art Specific examples of plastic bottles include polyethylene terephthalate bottles (hereinafter referred to as PET bottles) mainly containing beverages. The PET bottle is extremely lightweight when the contents are not stored. In order to smoothly transport extremely lightweight PET bottles in a content filling line or the like, a so-called air transport device is employed. This type of air transfer device is configured to support a flange formed at the mouth of the PET bottle between guide rails extending in parallel at a predetermined interval in the transfer direction and to raise the PET bottle in an upright posture. The PET bottle is conveyed by blowing air toward the conveying direction at the mouth of the PET bottle.

Providing an alignment transport device for aligning and charging ET bottles is performed. This type of aligning / conveying device includes a belt conveyor for placing and continuously conveying PET bottles toward an input portion of an air conveying device, and abutting PET bottles on the belt conveyor from both sides to change the alignment state of the PET bottles. And a pair of regulating plates to be maintained.

れない不都合がある。However, when a so-called square PET bottle whose outer shape is formed in a substantially quadrangular prism shape is conveyed by the aligning and conveying device, there is a disadvantage that smooth conveyance cannot be performed. That is, when viewed in a plan view, the square PET bottle has a diagonal dimension larger than a distance between opposed flat side surfaces. For this reason, when the pair of regulating plates are provided at an interval dimension that abuts on both flat sides of the square PET bottle, when the square PET bottle is inadvertently rotated on the belt conveyor with its vertical direction as an axis, The corners of the rectangular PET bottle abut the two restriction plates, so that the rectangular PET bottle cannot enter between the two restriction plates, and the rectangular PET bottle falls down or becomes clogged. In addition, if the distance between the pair of regulating plates is adjusted to the diagonal dimension of the rectangular PET bottle, the alignment state is not reliably regulated. Does not smoothly enter between the two rails.

特徴とする。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of forming a plurality of rectangular plastic bottles having no contents therein and having an outer shape substantially in the form of a square pole.
A first conveyor that is placed in an upright state and continuously transported, and is provided along one side of the first conveyor, and adsorbs one side of a rectangular plastic bottle on the first conveyor;
A second conveyor for conveying the rectangular plastic bottle in synchronization with the first conveyor, and a rectangular plastic bottle provided on the other side of the first conveyor so as to face the second conveyor; Air blowing means for blowing one side of the rectangular plastic bottle into contact with the second conveyor.

ックボトルは前記第２コンベアの方向に移動する。According to the present invention, air is blown from the side to the rectangular plastic bottle on the first conveyor by the air blowing means. Since the rectangular plastic bottle having no contents stored therein is extremely lightweight, the rectangular plastic bottle is moved in the direction of the second conveyor by the air blown from the air jetting means.

着させることができる。The second conveyor sucks one side of the rectangular plastic bottle moved by the air of the air blowing means. Since the second conveyor rotates in synchronization with the first conveyor, the square plastic bottle is rotated only when the square plastic bottle moved by the air of the air jetting means comes into contact with the second conveyor. Second
The bottle is rotated around the vertical direction of the bottle following the conveyor, and the one side surface in the most stable suction state is sucked by the second conveyor. Thus, for example, even if the square plastic bottle is inadvertently rotated and its corners are opposed to the second conveyor, the air ejecting means presses against the second conveyor by air, and the rotation of the second conveyor Thereby, one side surface of the rectangular plastic bottle can be reliably adsorbed to the second conveyor.

Provided. According to the present invention, the square plastic bottle conveyed to the second conveyor is at least at the position where the input unit of the other conveyor is facing, and the suction force is smaller than that of the other unit. It can be easily separated from the two conveyors. Thereby, when the rectangular plastic bottle on the first conveyor is transferred to the input section of the another conveyor, the suction by the second conveyor can be easily released while maintaining the rectangular plastic bottle in an upright state, The supply of the rectangular plastic bottle to other devices can be performed smoothly.

It is put in a state of being placed on the upstream side of the first conveyor 5. At this time, it is conceivable that the square PET bottle w is inadvertently rotated about its vertical direction as an axis, and the corners of the square PET bottle w face the second conveyor 6. In such a state, the square PET bottle w conveyed by the first conveyor 5 is first blown by the air jetting means 7 toward the second conveyor 6. As a result, the square PET bottle w rotates on the first conveyor 5, and then the flat surface on one side is pressed against the second conveyor 6. At this time, the second conveyor 6 is attached to the belt 12 of the second conveyor 6 by the first suction means 16 to form a square PE.
Since the flat surface of the T bottle w is adsorbed, the square PET bottle w is reliably aligned.
