Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing a long object such as a long object such as a railroad rail.

  In general, in various industrial fields, in order to perform various treatments on a long object in a factory, a lifting machine such as an overhead crane is often required as a means for transporting the long object to a predetermined processing facility. .

  However, in order to provide an overhead crane or the like, it is necessary to provide a factory building with a sufficient mechanical structure capable of withstanding the weight of a lifting machine such as an overhead crane, resulting in an increase in equipment cost. Moreover, if various work is performed by the worker directly under the overhead crane traveling overhead, there is a concern about a safety problem. Also, since the distance between the operator who operates the overhead crane and the actual long object lifted by the crane is generally long, the overhead crane operator moves up and down and traverses the long object that is being transported. At this time, it is often difficult to adjust the delicate distance, and the working efficiency tends to be low.

  In addition, this invention was made | formed by the inventor's original idea, Comprising: There is nothing which should be described as a prior art document.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to process long objects efficiently with simple equipment, low cost, and no safety problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a long object processing apparatus capable of performing the above.

It has the 2nd table which mounts and fixes, and the processing apparatus which processes the elongate object distribute | arranged to the vicinity of the 1st table and the 2nd table, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  The second table is rotatably supported in the vicinity of one end on the first table, and the one end on the first table and the second table are used for rotating the second table. It is preferable to be connected by an expansion / contraction device. For example, a hydraulic cylinder can be used as the telescopic device.

  It is preferable to install a plurality of long object fixing bolts on the second table because the long object to be processed can be reliably fixed by using the fixing bolts.

  If the processing apparatus is an ultrasonic cleaning apparatus, a long object can be easily and reliably cleaned, which is preferable.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, when processing a long object, the long object to be processed is placed and fixed on the second table, and the lifting device is extended to raise the first table. Then, when the second table is rotated about 90 °, the long object to be processed is rotated together with the second table to be in an inverted state. Next, when the lifting device is contracted to lower the first table, the long object to be processed on the second table is lowered together with the first table, and a part of the long object to be processed enters the processing apparatus. And a predetermined process can be performed to the to-be-processed long thing in a processing apparatus.
