[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A typical example of a conventional bowl reversing machine 1 is shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a side view of a conventional bowl reversing machine 1. The bowl reversing machine 1 has a stand 2, a moving roller 3, a mast 4, a fixed frame 5, and a hopper stand. 6 can be opposed to the hopper 7 attached to the hopper 6.

The fixed frame 5 is provided with a manual worm speed reducer 8 as a reversing shaft and a pair of left and right bowl fixing handles 9, and the fixed bowl B is turned around the manual worm speed reducer 8 as an axis. The contents are opened to the user.

In such a bowl reversing machine 1, the movement to the hopper 7 or the like requires rolling the moving roller 3 by hand and moving the heavy bowl reversing machine 1 as a whole, making it difficult to perform fine position adjustment. There is a problem. Furthermore, it is almost impossible to move the spout while the contents are being poured from the bowl B into the hopper 7, that the stand 2 may interfere with the hopper stand 6, and that the mast 4 Hopper 7
, There is a problem that the position of the spout of the bowl B into the hopper 7 is restricted. In addition, since the left and right bowl fixing handles 9 must be operated and fixed in order to grip the bowl B, it is not possible to easily attach and detach the bowl B with one touch. There's a problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a bowl reversing machine 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. However, the same parts as those in FIG. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description thereof is omitted. FIG. 1 is an overall side view of a bowl reversing machine 10, and FIG.
The bowl reversing machine 10 includes a cargo handling balancer 11 (a simple cargo handling machine) and a bowl reversing attachment 12. The load balancer 11 includes a balancer body 13 and
And a balancer arm 14. The load balancer 11 can employ any drive method such as electric drive, pneumatic drive or hydraulic drive, has a parallel link type or scalar type configuration, and can freely attach the bowl reversing attachment 12 in a predetermined work space. At the height and position.

FIG. 3 shows a bowl reversal attachment 12.
FIG. 4 is a side view (right side view) of FIG.
Is a front view of the same, attachment 1 for bowl inversion
2 has a fixed frame 15, a reversing frame 16, a reversing mechanism 17, and a stopper mechanism 18.

The fixed frame 15 is attached to the tip of the balancer arm 14 and is a flat U-shaped frame. The fixed frame 15 is provided with a central grip 19 and side grips 20, a switch 21 for lifting and lowering, and a fine adjustment switch 22 for lifting and lowering. The center grip 19 and the side grips 20 are gripped by the worker S (FIG. 2) to change or hold the orientation of the bowl reversing attachment 12 when the balancer arm 14 is moved up and down and horizontally moved.
The elevating switch 21 raises and lowers the balancer arm section 14 by operating this switch, and the elevating fine adjustment switch 22 is for fine adjustment thereof.

The reversing frame 16 is a small, substantially U-shaped frame that is substantially similar to the fixed frame 15 and is rotatably attached to the fixed frame 15 by a reversing mechanism 17.

The reversing mechanism 17 has a manual worm speed reducer 23 (manual speed reducer) and a bearing unit 24 as a reversing shaft. The manual worm speed reducer 23 has a manual reversing handle 25 and a handle knob 26 thereof. Is attached.

FIG. 6 shows a bowl reversal attachment 12.
5 is an enlarged side view of a main part of the stopper mechanism 18 in FIG. 5. The stopper mechanism 18 includes a pair of left and right one-way stoppers 27 and a pair of left and right fixed stoppers 2 in FIG.
8 and a pair of left and right tension coil springs 29 (biasing members).

The one-way stopper 27 is connected to the first fixed rotating shaft 3 at a pair of left and right ends of the reversing frame 16.
This is attached to the lower part 0 so as to be able to turn up and down, and is opposed to the fixed stopper 28 on the upper side. One-way stopper 27
Can be operated by a release lever 32 (FIGS. 3 and 4) via a link mechanism 31. That is, the link mechanism 31 includes a first movable shaft 33 at the lower end of the one-way stopper 27, a horizontal link 34 coupled to the first movable shaft 33, and a second movable shaft 35 at the other end of the horizontal link 34. And The lower portion of the release lever 32 is coupled to the horizontal link 34 at the second movable shaft 35 portion, and the release lever 32 is rotatably supported at the second fixed rotation shaft 36 attached to the reversing frame 16.

The tension coil spring 29 is attached to the lower part of the one-way stopper 27 so that the one-way stopper 27 can be constantly urged counterclockwise around the first fixed rotation shaft 30 in FIG.
8 is a stopper for the counterclockwise rotation.

A bowl 3 corresponding to the bowl B (FIG. 7)
In FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 6, flanges 38 are formed on the left and right side surfaces, and the front end of the flange 38 serves as a stopper contact portion 39, and the front end of the one-way stopper 27 comes into contact.

In the bowl reversing machine 10 having such a configuration, the level of the bowl reversing attachment 12 (one-way stopper 27) is adjusted to the flange 38 of the bowl 37 by operating the elevation switch 21. If necessary,
The fine adjustment switch 22 for raising and lowering is operated to advance in the direction of the bowl 37 while adjusting the level.

While the flange 38 of the bowl 37 is guided by the fixed stopper 28, the one-way stopper 27
6 passes from left to right in FIG.
The one-way stopper 27 escapes in the clockwise direction against the urging force, and finally the one-way stopper 27 is returned and engaged with the stopper abutting portion 39, and the grip of the bowl 37 is completed with one touch.

The balancer arm 14 of the bowl reversing machine 10 is raised by operating the lifting / lowering switch 21, and is further moved horizontally to be brought to the hopper 7 (or to an upper portion of a tray or the like (not shown)).

In order to put the contents in the bowl 37 into the hopper 7, the bowl 37 is turned over. As the reversing operation, for example, the side grip 20 is gripped with the right hand,
When the handle knob 26 of the reversing handle 25 is turned with the left hand, the bowl 37 together with the reversing frame 16 is rotated and inclined at a predetermined reversing angle about the manual worm speed reducer 23 and the bearing unit 24 as pivots. In addition, even if you release your hand from the reversing handle 25 or the handle knob 26,
Since the manual worm speed reducer 23 is used to support the bowl 37, the reversal angle at that time can be maintained.
Operability is good.

The charging of the contents into the hopper 7 is completed while appropriately adjusting the reversing angle, the vertical position, and the horizontal position of the bowl 37. Reverse the reversing handle 25,
The bowl 37 is returned to the original horizontal position.

When the bowl 37 is removed from the bowl reversing attachment 12, the release lever 32 is tilted clockwise in FIG. 4, and the one-way stopper 27 is rotated clockwise in FIG.
Is disengaged from the stopper abutting portion 39, and by pulling down the release lever 32, the attachment 12 for reversing the bowl can be retracted to release the engagement with the bowl 37 and be pulled out.

[0030]

As described above, according to the present invention, the flange of the bowl is engaged / disengaged with the reversing frame, and the bowl reversing attachment is attached to various simple cargo handling machines such as a cargo balancer or a simple crane. By attaching the, the operation can be performed with a light operation force without being restricted by the position of the hopper or the like, so that the reversing operation of the bowl can be efficiently performed by a simple operation.
