Is configured.

The drive shafts 83 of the adjacent feeders 81 are linked to each other by a link shaft 95, and the link shaft 95 is linked to the other side of the clutch means 93. Therefore, the clutch means 93 is interposed in the rotation transmission path from the interlocking shaft 95 to the feed roller 91.

Can be given a moving force. In addition, a plurality of frictional feeding means 80 including a group of feeding devices 81 and an induction motor 96 are set in the direction of the fixed path 5, but this is a type in which a single is set depending on the length of the predetermined path portion. It may be.

The operation of the above embodiment will be described below. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, and 6, the moving body 20 is pitch-fed by the friction-type feeding means 80 in a predetermined path portion of the fixed path 5 excluding the drying furnace 55. That is, the interlocking shaft 95 is constantly rotated by the driving of the induction motor 96. Then, based on detection by an appropriate detecting means or the like, clutch means 93 is provided so that intermittent feeding (pitch feeding) is automatically performed when the lower feeding device 81 is empty.
Is connected.

By this connection, the rotation of the interlocking shaft 95 is transmitted to the driving shaft 83 via the clutch means 93, and transmitted to the passive shaft 87 via the driving wheel 89, the endless rotating body 90, and the passive wheel 88. Thus, the feed roller 91 that is in contact with the passive surface 25 is driven and rotated. As a result, the moving force is applied to the moving body 20 by the feeding device 81, and the moving body 20 is fed and moved.

That is, the moving body 20 by the feeding device 81
The feed roller 91 is moved by the front frame body 22
From the passive surface 25 of the intermediate frame body 23 to the passive surface 25,
This is performed by sequentially acting on the passive surface 25 of the rear frame body 24.

At this time, when the feed roller 91 is acting on the front frame body 22, the intermediate frame body 23 and the rear frame body 24 are pulled and moved via the connecting device 27. When the front frame body 22 is acting on the passive surface 25, the front frame body 22 is pushed through the connecting device 27, and the rear frame body 24 is pulled through the connecting device 27. When acting on the surface 25, the intermediate frame body 23 and the front frame body 22 will be pushed and moved via the coupling device 27.

As described above, the movement of the moving body 20 is intermittently performed at the arrangement pitch P of the feeder 81. At the position of the feed device 81, the moving body 20 is stopped by the non-rotation of the feed roller 82 due to the disconnection of the clutch 93, and the worker or the body 21 on the floor 1 is positioned with appropriate positioning means. The worker who has moved to the step performs various operations on the transferred object W supported by the support portion 45.

In such a movement (running), each guided device 30 is supported and guided by both rails 12 of the rail device 11 via each supported roller 33, and each guided roller 35 is guided. It is guided in contact with the portion 12a. Thereby, the movement of the moving body 20 is performed stably without rattling or falling down.
And the loading / unloading of the transferred object W can always be performed accurately.

The movement of the moving body 20 is controlled by the
The same applies to b. At that time, the curve path section 5b
Then, as shown in FIG.
3 and 24 are moved in a relatively bent posture via the longitudinal axis 28 of the connecting device 27 in a plan view.

The moving body 20 having moved along the curved path section 5b in this way reaches the entrance of the drying furnace 55, enters the passive body 40 into the working path of the endless rotary feeder 60, and is stopped. Here, in the drying furnace 55, the endless rotary feeder 60 is operated.

That is, the driving device 63 controls the two tooth rings 6.
The chain 64 has been moved via 1 and 62. Then, the transmission body 72 integrally moved with the chain 64 is moved from the start end of the action path toward the passive body 40 and first abuts against the cam surface 42 d of the coasting prevention body 42, so that the coasting prevention body 42 Is swung upward around the horizontal pin 43 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
Is passed through the part. Then, the transmission body 72 abuts on the passive surface 40a of the passive body 40 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, whereby the moving body 20 is moved integrally.

As described above, while moving the movable body 20 in the drying furnace 55, the drying operation (not shown) is performed on the transported object W supported by the support portion 40 by the drying means (not shown). You. At that time, since only the chain 64 moves in the drying furnace 55, the endless rotation type feeding device 60 can be configured to have a feeding configuration resistant to heat and the like, and thus stable operation over a long period of time can be expected.

The transmission 72 is connected to the passive surface 4 of the passive body 40.
When the moving body 20 tries to coast (runaway) during the movement of the moving body 20 in contact with the moving object 0a, the coasting prevention body 42
The coasting prevention surface 42a of the above abuts on the transmission 72 to prevent the coasting.

When the moving body 20 reaches the outlet of the drying furnace 55, the transmission body 72 is moved down with respect to the passive body 40 by, for example, forming the rail 15 of the chain guide device 14 in a downwardly inclined shape. As a result, the transmission body 72 is disengaged from the passive body 40. As a result, the feed force of the endless rotary feed device 60 is released, and thereafter, the moving force is applied by the above-described friction feed device 80.

At the appropriate place after exiting from the drying furnace 55, the work to be transported W is lowered from the support portion 40, and a new transported product W is placed on the support portion 40.
Is loaded. In this way, the moving body 20 is circulated on the fixed path 5.

In the case where an upward (or downward) curved path portion is formed in the fixed path 5 in a side view,
When the guided device 30 is relatively rotated around the horizontal pins 38 and 39 with respect to the vertical shafts 28 and 29, the rail 1
It is smoothly moved while automatically changing its direction along the vertical curve of No. 2.

In the above-described configuration, the interlocking shaft 95 is constantly rotated by the driving of the induction motor 96 in the friction type feeding means 80, and the clutch means 93 is connected based on detection by an appropriate detecting means or the like. The rotation of the interlocking shaft 95 can be transmitted to the drive shaft 83, and the feed roller 91 abutted on the passive surface 25 can be driven to rotate. Thus, a moving force is applied to the moving body 20 by the feeding device 81, and the moving body 20 can be fed and moved. The moving body 20 can be stopped at the position of the feeding device 81 by the non-rotation of the feeding roller 91 due to the separation of the clutch means 93.

In this way, in the predetermined path portion of the fixed path 5, the moving body 20 can be intermittently moved by the friction type feeding means 80 at the arrangement pitch of the feeding device 81, thereby simplifying the structure. In addition, the moving body 20 can be pitch-fed at low cost.

Further, while the main body 21 can be configured to be long by the group of the frame bodies 22, 23, and 24, the frame bodies 22, 23, and 24 are relatively rotated via the connecting device 27 in the curved path portion 5b. In this manner, the moving body 20 can smoothly travel on the curved path section 5b. In addition, the passive surface 25 can be easily formed using each of the frame bodies 22, 23, 24.

By the elastic contact urging action, regardless of the deflection of the main body 21 of the moving body 20 and the design error,
The feed roller 91 can always suitably contact the passive surface 25, and thus the pitch feed of the moving body 20 can be performed more reliably.

In the above-described embodiment, the clutch means 93 is provided in the rotation transmission path from the interlocking shaft 95 to the feed roller 91.
However, this may be a type in which the clutch means 93 is omitted. In this case, the friction type feeding means 8
With 0, the moving body 20 can be continuously pitch-fed at predetermined intervals.

In the above embodiment, the feed roller 91 is elastically abutted against the passive surface 25 by the elastic repulsive force of the compression spring 92.
1 may be stationary.
