In this embodiment, the conveyor elevating / lowering unit 32 is composed of four hydraulic cylinder mechanisms, like the transport turning device 10, and these four hydraulic cylinder mechanisms are attached to the legs of the transport device 30, It supports the conveyor section 31.

The operation of the transfer / swivel processing apparatus 1 having the above-described structure will be described with a focus on the operation of the transfer / swivel apparatus 10.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the conveyance turning device 10 provided on one side (left side in the drawing) of the processing device 20.
The conveyor section 11 of the above is adjusted to the height of the processing section 21 of the processing apparatus 20 by the conveyor elevating / lowering section 12 and placed on the conveyor section 11 (here, building wood).
W is carried out to the processing section 21.

In the processing section 21 of the processing apparatus 20, the workpiece W carried in is moved from one side (left side in the drawing) to the other side (right side in the drawing) while performing a predetermined processing ( For example, a finishing sticker is attached to one side surface of the work W). At this time, before the front end of the work W is carried out from the other side of the processing device 20, the conveyor unit 31 of the transfer device 30 provided on the other side of the processing device 20 is moved to the height of the processing unit 21 by the conveyor elevating unit 32. To suit.

Then, the processed work W is carried in from the other side of the processing device 20 to the conveyor section 31 of the transfer device 30, and the work W is completely transferred from the processing device 20 to the transfer device 30.
When it is carried in, the conveyor elevating part 32 raises the conveyor part 31 to adjust the conveyor part 31 to the height of the moving part 22 of the processing apparatus 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the work W placed on the conveyor unit 31 is carried out to the moving unit 22.

In the moving section 22 of the processing apparatus 20, the loaded work W is moved from the other side to the one side. At this time,
Before the tip of the work W is unloaded from the one side of the processing device 20, the transfer and swivel device 10 provided on the one side of the processing device 20.
The conveyor section 11 is raised to the height of the moving section 22 by the conveyor lifting section 12.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the work W is completely carried in from one side of the processing apparatus 20 to the conveyor section 11 of the conveying and turning apparatus 10, the conveyor elevating section 12
The conveyor unit 11 is lowered by. Here, in FIG.
As shown in, the conveyor unit 11 is lowered to the height of the processing unit 21 of the processing device 20. After the conveyor unit 11 is lowered to the height, the turntable 15 is raised by the table elevating unit 16, and as shown in FIG. To raise. In addition, here, after lowering the conveyor section 11, the turntable 1 is
5 is raised, but not limited to this, the conveyor unit 11
And the turntable 15 may be raised at the same time.

When the work W is completely placed on the turntable 15, the turntable 15
The drive unit 15b of the turntable 15 is operated to rotate the table 15a of the turntable 15 by 180 degrees in order to rotate the work W in the opposite direction. After that, in the same manner as the above-mentioned procedure, the work W is moved while the other side surface of the work W is processed.

As described above, according to the transport / swing device 10 of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. Since the conveyor unit 11 is provided with the turntable 15 for turning the work W carried in from another device by a predetermined angle, and the table elevating unit 16 for moving the turntable 15 up and down,
The turntable 15 can easily change the direction of the work W (turn it), which improves the work efficiency and reduces the burden on the worker.

Further, since the turntable 15 is substantially at the center of the conveyor section 11 in plan view, the work W can be swung in a stable state.

Further, since the work placing portion 15a of the turntable 15 has the elastic member 15d, it is possible to prevent the work W from being displaced when the work W is rotated, and at the same time, to turn the worktable W. It is possible to absorb the impact generated when 15 is brought into contact with the work W so that the work W is not scratched.

The conveyor section 11 is composed of a plurality of conveyors 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d,
At least two of them 11c and 11d are provided on the same straight line that sandwiches the substantially center of the turntable 15 in plan view, and thus are provided on the same straight line that sandwiches the substantially center of the turntable 15 in plan view. Even a work W made of an elongated member that is placed only on the conveyor unit 11 can be turned by the turntable 15, and the transport turning device 10 can be adapted to work W of various sizes.

Further, since the transfer and swivel processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is a processing apparatus (transfer and swivel processing apparatus) including the transfer and swivel apparatus 10, the work W is once transferred and processed. When carrying out a series of processing that needs to be swung and transported and processed again, it is possible to easily advance the process and improve the work efficiency.
The burden on the operator can be significantly reduced.

In this embodiment, the processing device is
Although an example in which both sides of the work are painted or a sticker for finishing is attached has been described, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to various processing. Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the work is turned 180 degrees has been described, but it may be turned at another angle, for example, 90 degrees, depending on the type of processing, the shape of the work, and the like.
