[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an article in a rotary type article processing apparatus that grips an article on a rotary table when the article conveyed from the previous step is placed on the rotary table of the rotary type article processing apparatus and conveyed. The present invention relates to a gripping device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as an article processing apparatus installed in a container such as a PET bottle or a carrying line for carrying various articles such as a cap, a plurality of article receiving portions are arranged side by side along the circumferential direction. A rotary type article processing apparatus having a rotary table for receiving articles is widely used. In this rotary type article processing apparatus, a feeding section for feeding the article conveyed from the previous step to the article receiving section of the turntable, an article processing section for performing necessary processing on the article, and a treated article from the turntable. A feeding unit for feeding to a subsequent process is sequentially arranged around the rotary table, and the articles conveyed to the article processing unit are continuously processed as the rotary table rotates.

Further, as an example of this type of rotary type article processing apparatus, there is an inspection apparatus for inspecting, for example, foreign substances mixed in a bottle container. This inspection apparatus is provided with a container receiving rotary table in which a plurality of pedestals (container receiving portions) formed of a mirror-like reflecting member are arranged in parallel along the circumferential direction.

Furthermore, a bottle container inspecting section for inspecting the inside of the bottle container by irradiating inspection light toward the bottom surface of the bottle container and the feeding section for introducing the bottle container conveyed from the previous step into the base of the rotary table. And a feeding unit for feeding the inspected bottle container from the rotary table to the subsequent process are sequentially arranged around the rotary table. Further, in the bottle container inspection unit, an inspection light irradiation unit that irradiates inspection light toward the bottom surface of the bottle container from the top of the base unit, and a foreign substance mixed in the bottle container arranged in the vicinity of the inspection light irradiation unit. An inspection camera for inspecting the above is provided.

The bottle containers are successively inspected at the time when the bottle containers are conveyed to the container inspection unit according to the rotation of the rotary table. At the time of inspecting the bottle container, the illumination light emitted from the inspection light irradiating unit is reflected by the reflective pedestal in the container inspecting unit and is irradiated into the bottle container. At the same time, the inspection camera is driven to continuously inspect foreign substances and the like mixed in the bottle container.

[0006]

By the way, in order to inspect foreign matters and the like mixed in the bottle container with high accuracy, it is necessary to bring the entire bottom surface of the bottle container into close contact with the base of the rotary table. However, in general, the molding accuracy of the bottle container is relatively poor, and as shown in FIG. 6 (A), most of the bottle containers a are in a self-standing state and the center line O1 of the bottle container a.
Under the present circumstances, the direction of is greatly inclined with respect to the vertical direction (direction orthogonal to the plane b of the base of the rotary table) PL. It is a preferable method to inspect the bottle container a while the bottle container a is self-supporting as described above. However, if the inspection of the bottle container a is performed at a high speed, the bottle container a is rotated by the centrifugal table. There is a problem of jumping out of the base.

Therefore, it has been conventionally practiced to provide a bottle gripping device for gripping the body of the bottle container on the base of the rotary table, and to grip the body of the bottle container to fix the container. In this conventional conventional bottle gripping method, as shown in FIG. 6B, a bottle gripper c for gripping the bottle container a while sandwiching it from both sides, an inner / outer guide not shown, and the like are used. It is like this. Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), when the direction of the center line O1 of the bottle container a is tilted with respect to the vertical direction (direction orthogonal to the plane b of the base of the rotary table) PL in the self-standing state. By gripping the bottle container a with the bottle gripper c, there is an effect that the direction of the center line O1 of the bottle container a is directed to the vertical direction (direction orthogonal to the plane b of the base of the rotary table) PL.

However, when the bottle container a on the base of the rotary table is held by the bottle gripper c and the direction of the center line O1 of the bottle container a is directed to the vertical direction PL, it is shown in FIG. 6 (B). As described above, a part of the bottom surface a1 of the bottle container a floats obliquely and is separated from the flat surface b of the table base. Therefore, in this case, the bottom surface a1 of the bottle container a cannot be held in the correct posture in which the bottom surface a1 of the bottle container a is brought into close contact with the flat surface b of the base of the table. Therefore, foreign substances mixed in the bottle container a should be inspected with high accuracy. However, there is a problem that an accurate inspection cannot be performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to reliably prevent articles from jumping out from an article receiving portion of a rotary table in a rotary article processing apparatus due to centrifugal force. An object of the present invention is to provide an article gripping device in a rotary type article processing apparatus capable of reliably holding a gripped article in a correct posture.
