Description

  The present invention relates to a member reversing device used in a reversing operation of members having different shapes.

As a conventional reversing device, for example, with the upper opening of a box-shaped container covered with a belt conveyor, the whole belt conveyor is reversed, and then the container is opened and the belt conveyor is operated to reverse the member. There are some which are taken out in a heated state (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-42112

  However, the above-described conventional apparatus needs to use driving means represented by an air cylinder in order to reverse the container together with the belt conveyor. For this reason, there is room for improvement when trying to effectively use energy resources represented by electric power.

  In addition, the conventional reversing apparatus has a complicated process for reversing and returning the container, so there is room for improvement in work time, and the structure becomes complicated, so that the cost can be reduced. There is room.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in the conventional apparatus, when the member is reversed, a driving means accompanied by consumption of energy resources is separately required, and there is room for improvement in terms of work efficiency and cost. Is that there is
An object of the present invention is to provide a member reversing device with improved work efficiency while effectively using energy resources and reducing costs.

  The member reversing device according to the present invention is capable of moving along the track while rotating on the fixed track and a fixed track that forms a rising gradient with respect to the conveying direction of the member. A rolling element and a container connected to the rolling element and rotatable with the rolling element are provided. When the container holds a member, the container rotates and is fixed due to a shift in the balance of the center of gravity due to holding the member. When the member is removed from the container by climbing the track, the container returns to the initial state by descending the fixed track while rotating by its own weight.

  The rotation that occurs when the container according to the present invention holds the member is caused by a change in the balance of the center of gravity that occurs in the container before and after holding the member.

  In other words, the center of gravity position of the container when holding the member is higher than the center of gravity position of only the container before holding the member, and is located far from the conveyance path across the center of gravity position of only the container. By doing so, the container automatically rotates while climbing the fixed track due to the shift of the center of gravity balance caused by holding the member. Specifically, the container is rotated by appropriately setting the arrangement of the rolling elements and the container according to the shape of the member or the container.

  Further, in the present invention, the conveying path can be various types such as a belt conveyor and a roller conveyor, but forms a descending gradient toward the traveling direction of the member, and conveys the member by its own weight, As a specific example, it is preferable to arrange the roller conveyors obliquely.

  In addition, according to the present invention, the container is provided with a rod member that is reversed and returned together with the container, and the conveyance prevention of the member is released by depressing the rod member accompanying the return of the container in the conveyance path. It is preferable to provide a member stopper.

  Similarly, according to the present invention, the container is provided with a rod member that is reversed and returned together with the container, while another conveyance path for conveying a member taken out from the container is provided at the reversal position of the container. It is preferable to provide a lock mechanism for detachably holding the rod member in the other transport path.

  In the present invention, the two rod members described above can be separated from each other. However, it is preferable that the two rod members be used in common as one rod member.

  Moreover, according to this invention, it is preferable to provide the auxiliary member which hold | maintains the said rolling element rotatably, and to hold | maintain this auxiliary member so that a movement parallel to the said fixed track | orbit is possible by a guide mechanism.

  As such an auxiliary member, a thin plate-like member is preferable. Further, examples of the guide mechanism include an existing so-called linear motion mechanism composed of a combination of a roller and a rail. However, the guide mechanism is not limited to this as long as it ensures a smooth movement of the auxiliary member.

  In the present invention, when the above-described auxiliary member is provided, it is preferable to provide an adjusting means that can adjust at least one of the inversion amount and the return amount of the container by adjusting the movement amount of the auxiliary member.

  Examples of the advance / retreat member include a screw-like member that can advance / retreat by its own rotation. In particular, in the case of a screw-shaped member, the contact distance with the auxiliary member can be finely adjusted simply by rotating the member.

  In addition, the container according to the present invention can use various structures as long as the member can be detachably held, but at least the holding part preferably has a frame structure, and more preferably the container. The whole is a frame structure.

  Further, according to the present invention, it is preferable that the fixed track and the rolling element are constituted by a rack and pinion mechanism, but the dynamic friction coefficient that allows the rolling element to move along the track while rotating on the fixed track, As long as it has a static friction coefficient that can remain at a predetermined position on the fixed track, various configurations such as a roller and a friction surface can be used.

  According to the present invention, when the container holds the member, the container rotates and climbs on the fixed track due to the deviation of the balance of the center of gravity caused by holding the member, so that the container is reversed. As a result, the container is automatically reversed from the initial state in which the member sent from the transport path can be held without consuming energy resources represented by electric power. The formed member can also be taken out in an inverted state.

  According to the present invention, when the member is removed from the container, the container returns to the initial state by falling while rotating along the gradient of the fixed track by its own weight. As a result, the container automatically reverses the new member sent from the conveyance path by automatically returning from the inverted state to the initial state without consuming energy resources represented by electric power. Can be taken out in a state.

  Further, according to the present invention, since the inversion and return can be realized by a simple process in which the container is rotated by its own weight, the work efficiency is also improved. Moreover, according to the present invention, since the structure is simplified, the cost can be suppressed.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a member reversing device with improved work efficiency while achieving effective use of energy resources and cost reduction.

  In addition, if the conveyance path according to the present invention forms a descending gradient in the traveling direction of the member and conveys the member by its own weight, the conveyance up to the container is also an energy resource represented by electric power. Can be done automatically without consuming energy, which is effective for effective use of energy resources.

  In addition, while the container according to the present invention is provided with a rod member that is reversed and returned together with the container, the conveyance of the member is released to the conveyance path for sending the member to the container by pushing down the rod member accompanying the return of the container. If a member stopper is provided, the member stopper that functions as a blocker for conveying the member can be automatically operated without consuming energy resources represented by electric power. Too much can be prevented.

  Similarly, the container according to the present invention is provided with a rod member that is reversed and returned together with the container, and another conveyance path that conveys a member taken out from the container is provided at the reversal position of the container. If a lock mechanism for detachably holding the rod member is provided on the road, the lock mechanism can be automatically operated without consuming energy resources represented by electric power, so that energy resources can be used effectively. The container can be prevented from returning unexpectedly.

  In particular, if one rod member is formed by sharing the two rod members described above, the space can be saved and the cost can be reduced.

  In the present invention, if an auxiliary member that rotatably holds the rolling element is provided, and the auxiliary member is held movably in parallel with the fixed track by the guide mechanism, a load applied between the fixed track and the rolling element. Is distributed, it is possible to realize smooth inversion and return of the container, which is effective in improving work efficiency.

  Further, in the present invention, when providing the above-mentioned auxiliary member, if the adjustment means capable of adjusting at least one of the reversal amount and the return amount of the container by adjusting the movement amount of the auxiliary member, the reversal amount of the container and Since at least one of the return amounts can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the member, it is effective for improving work efficiency.

  Further, if at least the holding portion of the container according to the present invention has a frame structure, more preferably, the container as a whole has a frame structure, the container can be reduced in weight, so that the container can be smoothly reversed and restored. Effective for improving efficiency.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, if the fixed track and the rolling element are constituted by a rack and pinion mechanism, it is effective to reduce costs by using existing machine elements.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams showing a reversing device (hereinafter referred to as “this device”) of an output shaft (hereinafter referred to as “member”) 1 of an automatic transmission, which is an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a perspective view showing a first transport path 2 for transporting the member 1 to the container 5 described later together with the member 1, and FIG. 2 shows the container 5 together with the first transport path 2. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the rotation mechanism, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the second conveyance path 10 for taking out the member 1 from the container 5 and conveying it together with the member 1 in an inverted state.

  FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the overall configuration of the apparatus from above. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the main part showing the configuration of the rotating mechanism for reversing and returning the container 5 in FIG. 4 with the container 5 side removed, and FIGS. 6 and 7 respectively show FIG. It is the side view and front view which are typically shown from the direction shown by the arrows A and B.

  Further, FIGS. 8 to 10 are side views showing the operation of the present apparatus in an initial state, a reverse transient state, and a reverse complete state, respectively.

  The member 1 has a bottomed cylindrical portion 1a and a shaft portion 1b that is integrally connected to the outer surface of the bottom of the cylindrical portion 1a. The bottom surface of the bottomed cylindrical portion 1b has an annular shape around the trunk. A groove 1c is formed. The member 1 is supplied to the 1st conveyance path 2 in the state shown in FIG.

  The 1st conveyance path 2 is a roller conveyor which can move the member 1 in the state which turned the shaft part 1b downward. The 1st conveyance path 2 has the several roller 2a which can rotate, and supports the member 1 by this roller 2a so that a movement is possible with the shaft part 1b facing down.

  The first transport path 2 forms a descending gradient θ1 in the traveling direction of the member 1 (left direction in the drawing). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the first transport path 2 of the present embodiment is disposed downward in the traveling direction of the member 1 at an angle θ1 with respect to the plane Fx including the horizontal axis X. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the member 1 can be automatically moved toward the container 5 by its own weight only by being placed on the member supply side (right side of the drawing) of the first transport path 2.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a rack as a fixed track fixed to the casing C as shown in FIG. The rack 3 forms an ascending gradient θ2 in a direction away from the carry-out side (left side in the drawing) of the first conveyance path 2. In this embodiment, the rack 3 is unitized with the housing C as shown in FIG. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the rack 3 is positioned at an angle θ2 with respect to the plane Fx including the horizontal axis X from the carry-out side of the first conveyance path 2 as a base point. The rising gradient θ2 in the direction away from the first transport path 2 can be positioned.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a pinion as a rolling element that meshes with the rack 3 and can move along the rack 3 while rotating on the rack 3 as shown in FIG.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a container that holds the member 1. The container 5 is a frame structure composed of a bar 5a, and the bar 5a is hooked on the annular groove 1c of the member 1 sent from the first transport path 2, as shown in FIG. The member 1 is detachably held.

  Further, a rod member 5c that is reversed and returned together with the container 5 is integrally provided at the lower end of the bar 5a. Further, the rod member 5c is provided with an extension portion 5d that can be exchanged by attaching and detaching. Moreover, the side plate 5b which comprises one side surface of the container 5 is integrally connected with the rod member 5c.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the pinion 4 is integrally connected to the side plate 5b via a connecting shaft 6. Thereby, the pinion 4 can rotate integrally with the container 5. Reference numeral 6 a shown in FIG. 4 and the like is a connecting portion that is provided integrally with the connecting shaft 6 and connects the connecting shaft 6 to the side plate 5 b of the container 5.

  Here, the container 5 according to the present apparatus is configured such that when the member 1 is held, the rack 5 is rotated while climbing along the inclination θ 2 of the rack 3. This rotation is caused by a change in the center of gravity balance before and after holding the member 1.

  That is, the center of gravity of the container 5 when holding the member 1 is above the center of gravity of only the container 5 before holding the member 1, and the first transport path 2 sandwiches the center of gravity of only the container 5. The container 5 is rotated while climbing the rack 3 automatically due to a shift in the center of gravity balance caused by holding the member 1. Specifically, the container 5 is rotated by appropriately setting the arrangement between the pinion 4 and the container 5 according to the shape of the member 1 or the container 5.

  Thus, if the member 1 transported from the first transport path 2 is held by the container 5, the container 5 rotates together with the rod member 5c and automatically racks due to the deviation of the center of gravity balance due to the holding of the member 1. After inverting 3 and removing member 1, it can return to the initial position while automatically rolling down due to its own weight.

  Reference numeral 7 denotes an auxiliary member that rotatably holds the container 5 together with the pinion 4. As shown in FIG. 6 and the like, the auxiliary member 7 is a flat member, and is held by the guide mechanism 8 so as to be movable in parallel with the rack 3 with respect to the side wall Cs of the housing C. Further, the auxiliary member 7 is provided with an upper end portion 7a that climbs over the upper end of the housing side wall Cs.

  The guide mechanism 8 is an existing so-called linear motion mechanism composed of a combination of a slider 8a having a roller and a rail 8b. Thereby, the reversal and return of the container 5 are smooth.

  Further, an adjustment means Aj capable of adjusting the amount of reversal and return of the container 5 with an interval along the traveling direction of the member 1 is provided on the upper part of the housing side wall Cs. The adjusting means Aj has an advancing / retracting member 9 penetrating a base Ct provided at an interval above the housing side wall Cs.

  The advance / retreat member 9 is a screw-like member that can be advanced / retracted by its own rotation with respect to the base Ct. When the auxiliary member 7 moves along the guide mechanism 8, the tip of the advance / retreat member 9 is in contact with the upper end portion 7 a of the auxiliary member 7, thereby restricting the movement amount of the auxiliary member 7. Thereby, the reversal amount and the return amount of the container 5 can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the member 1 only by rotating the advance / retreat member 9 and changing its tip position.

  Moreover, the code | symbol 10 is a 2nd conveyance path which is provided in the inversion position of the container 5 and conveys the member 1 taken out from this container 5, as shown in FIG. Similar to the first transport path 2, the second transport path 10 is a roller conveyor having a plurality of rollers 10a, and is a lock that detachably holds the extension part 5d when the extension part 5d is pushed down when the container 5 is reversed. A mechanism 11 is provided.

  The lock mechanism 11 is an existing lock mechanism, and is brought into contact with the lock main body portion 11a that is pushed down by the extension portion 5d and fitted with the extension portion 5d, and the member 1 on the second conveyance path 10, and is locked by this contact. It consists of an unlocking part 11b that releases. Accordingly, the lock mechanism 11 can be automatically operated while being synchronized with the reversal of the container 5 and the removal of the member 1.

  Reference numeral 12 shown in FIG. 1 and the like is a member stopper that prevents the conveyance of the member 1 on the first conveyance path 2.

  The member stopper 12 is substantially L-shaped as shown in FIG. 1, and is a long piece 12a as an operation piece that can be contacted by pushing down the extension portion 5d when the container 5 is returned. As shown in FIG. A short piece 12b as a blocking piece for contacting the shaft portion 1b of the member 1 conveyed on the one conveyance path 2 and preventing conveyance of the member 1 is integrally formed through a bent portion 12c.

  The member stopper 12 has a bent portion 12c that is perpendicular to the plane Fx including the horizontal axis O and swings around the axis O extending along the advancing / retreating direction of the first transport path 2, for example, , And is held by the first conveyance path 2.

  For this reason, for example, if the short piece 12b is in contact with the shaft portion 1b in a normal state by the balance between the long piece 12a and the short piece 12b of the member stopper 12, the container 1 can be prevented from being conveyed. When the extension 5d rotated together with the container 5 pushes down the long piece 12a with the return of 5, the member stopper 12 swings around the axis O and the short piece 12b that has prevented the conveyance of the member 1 becomes the member 1. The member 1 can be transported by releasing the short piece 12b in parallel with the shaft portion 1b. Thereby, the member stopper 12 that functions to prevent excessive supply of the member 1 can be automatically operated.

  According to this apparatus, as shown in FIG. 1, when the member 1 is supplied to the first transport path 2, the member 1 sliding down the first transport path 2 is blocked by the stopper 12. The When the member stopper 12 is released, the container 5 holds the member 1 sent from the first transport path 2 as shown in FIG.

  Then, the container 5 automatically rotates in the order of FIGS. 8, 9, and 10 by the shift of the center of gravity balance that occurs when the container 5 holds the member 1, and climbs up the rack 3 to be reversed.

  In addition, at this time, the extension 5d is also reversed together with the container 5 and is held by the lock main body 11a of the lock mechanism 11 as shown in FIG. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 3, even if an operator tries to remove the member 1 manually, the container 5 does not return unexpectedly.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the member unloads the member 1 along the second transport path 10, if the member 1 comes in contact with the unlocking portion 11 b and is pushed away, The fitting at 11a is released. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9, the container 5 in the position of FIG. 10 returns to the initial state shown in FIG. 8 (FIG. 1) by descending the fixed rack 3 while rotating by its own weight.

  In addition, at this time, the extension 5d also rotates together with the container 5 to push down the short piece 12a of the member stopper 12. As a result, the new member 1 that has been prevented from being transported in the first transport path 2 is supplied to the container 5 that has returned to the initial position.

  That is, according to the present invention, when the container 5 holds the member 1, the container 5 automatically rotates and climbs up the rack 3 in the inverted state due to the deviation of the center of gravity balance caused by holding the member 1. It becomes. As a result, the container 5 automatically switches from the initial state shown in FIG. 2 or 8 to the inverted state shown in FIG. 3 or 10 without consuming energy resources represented by electric power. 1 can be taken out from the state shown in FIG. 1 in the inverted state shown in FIG.

  Further, according to the present invention, when the member 1 is removed from the container 5, the container 5 returns to the initial state shown in FIG. 1 and the like by falling while rotating along the gradient θ2 of the rack 3 by its own weight. As a result, the container 5 automatically returns from the inverted state shown in FIG. 10 and the like to the initial state shown in FIG. 8 and the like without consuming energy resources represented by electric power. The new member 1 sent in the state shown in FIG. 1 can be taken out again in the inverted state shown in FIG.

  Further, according to the present invention, since the inversion and return can be realized by a simple process in which the container 5 is rotated by its own weight, work efficiency is also improved. Moreover, according to the present invention, since the structure is simplified, the cost can be suppressed.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a reversing device for the member 1 with improved work efficiency while achieving effective use of energy resources and cost reduction.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, if the first transport path 2 forms a downward gradient θ1 in the traveling direction of the member 1 and the member 1 is transported by its own weight, transport to the container 5 is also possible. Since it can be performed automatically without consuming energy resources represented by electric power, it is effective for effective use of energy resources.

  In addition, as in this embodiment, the container 5 is provided with a rod member 5c that reverses and returns together with the container 5 and its extension 5d, while the first transport path 2 is pushed down by the extension 5d as the container 5 returns. By providing the member stopper 12 for releasing the conveyance prevention of the member 1, the member stopper functioning as the conveyance prevention of the member 1 can be automatically operated without consuming energy resources represented by electric power. It is possible to prevent excessive supply of the member 1 while effectively utilizing energy resources.

  Similarly, as in this embodiment, the container 5 is provided with a rod member 5c that reverses and returns together with the container 5 and its extension 5d, while the member 1 taken out from the container 5 is transported to the reverse position of the container 5 If the second transport path 10 is provided and the lock mechanism 11 is provided on the second transport path 10 so as to detachably hold the extension part 5d by the depression of the extension part 5d accompanying the reversal of the container 5, the power is representative. Since the lock mechanism 11 can be automatically operated without consuming energy resources, the container 5 can be prevented from being returned unexpectedly by the operator while effectively utilizing the energy resources.

  In particular, if the extension part of the rod member having two functions is made common as the extension part 5d of one rod member 5c as in this embodiment, space can be saved and the cost can be reduced. Further, as in this embodiment, the extension portion 5d acts on the lock mechanism 11 and the member stopper 12 and is consumed due to repeated use. Therefore, if the extension portion 5d is detachable from the rod member 5c, the replacement part Also works. In the operation of the lock mechanism 11 and the member stopper 12, the rod member 5c may be directly operated.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, an auxiliary member 7 that rotatably holds the pinion 4 is provided, and if this auxiliary member 7 is held movably in parallel with the rack 3 by the guide mechanism 8, the space between the rack 3 and the pinion 4 is provided. Since the load applied to the container 5 is dispersed, the container 5 can be smoothly reversed and returned, which is effective in improving work efficiency.

  Further, as in this embodiment, if the adjusting means Aj having the advancing / retreating member 9 capable of contacting the auxiliary member 7 and adjusting the inversion amount and the return amount of the container 5 is provided, the inversion amount and the return of the container 5 Since the amount can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the member 1, it is effective in improving the working efficiency.

  Further, if the container 5 as a whole has a frame structure as in this embodiment, the container 5 can be reduced in weight, so that the container 5 can be smoothly reversed and returned, which is effective in improving work efficiency.

  Furthermore, if the fixed track and the rolling element constitute a rack and pinion mechanism including a rack 3 and a pinion 4 as in the present embodiment, the use of existing mechanical elements is effective for cost reduction.

  The above description exemplifies a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the claims. For example, a roller conveyor is suitable for the conveyance path according to the present invention. However, since the present invention focuses on at least a member reversal operation, a belt conveyor may be employed as the conveyance path. The housing C is provided independently of the first transport path 2 and the second transport path 10, but may be provided integrally with the first transport path 2 or the second transport path 10.
