本発明は、製品を集積し、集積製品として搬送する製品の集積搬送装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a product stacking and transporting apparatus that stacks products and transports them as a stacked product.

供給コンベアから間欠的に供給される製品を多数列に集積するにあたり、例えば櫛歯状の整列ガイド、即ち、集積溝列を有する整列ガイドを備えた集積装置が知られている(特許第3445673号明細書)。この公知の集積装置の整列ガイドはその集積溝列の各溝が供給コンベアの終端に順次合致すべく移動され、各溝内に供給コンベアから供給される製品を所定の個数ずつ受入れて、集積製品を形成する。
特許第3445673号明細書
In order to accumulate products supplied intermittently from a supply conveyor in a large number of rows, for example, a stacking device having a comb-shaped alignment guide, that is, an alignment guide having a stacking groove row is known (Japanese Patent No. 3456773). Specification). The alignment guide of this known stacking device is moved so that each groove of the stacking groove row sequentially matches the end of the supply conveyor, and a predetermined number of products supplied from the supply conveyor are received in each groove, and the integrated product Form.
Japanese Patent No. 3456673

上述した公知の集積装置は、整列ガイドが往動側及び復動側のそれぞれにて間欠移動する過程にて、整列ガイド内への製品の集積を実施するため、集積製品の取出し位置もまた集積ガイドの往動側及び復動側の2カ所に存在する。このため、各取出し位置から後段の箱詰め装置等に集積製品を移送するには、2カ所の取出し位置に箱詰め装置をそれぞれ配置するか、又は、一方の取出し位置側に箱詰め装置が配置されている場合には、他方の取出し位置から箱詰め装置に向け、集積製品を余分な軌跡を経て移送するロボット等の移載装置が更に必要となり、取出し位置から後段の箱詰め装置等に移送する集積製品の後処理が複雑になる。   The above-described known stacking apparatus performs product stacking in the alignment guide in the process in which the alignment guide is intermittently moved on each of the forward movement side and the backward movement side. There are two locations on the forward and backward sides of the guide. For this reason, in order to transfer the accumulated product from each take-out position to a subsequent box-packing device or the like, the box-packing device is arranged at two pick-up positions, or the box-packing device is arranged at one of the pick-up positions. In this case, a transfer device such as a robot for transferring the accumulated product from the other take-out position to the boxing device via an extra trajectory is further required. Processing becomes complicated.

本発明は上述の事情に基づいてなされたもので、その目的とするところは後処理を容易して製品を多数列に集積することができる製品の集積搬送装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made based on the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a product stacking and transporting device that can easily perform post-processing and stack products in multiple rows.

上記の目的を達成するため、本発明の製品の集積搬送装置は、製品を間欠的に供給する供給コンベアの出口近傍から前記供給コンベアの供給方向と交差する水平方向に延び、その上面にて製品を支持する搬送テーブルと、この搬送テーブルの上方に配置された複数の整列ガイドであって、個々に複数列の集積溝を有し、これら集積溝が前記供給方向に延びるともに前記水平方向に並んで配置され、前記供給コンベアの前記出口に1つの整列ガイドの集積溝が合致されたとき、この集積溝内に前記出口に到達した製品を順次受入れ可能とした複数の整列ガイドと、各整列ガイドに独立のボックスモーションを実施させる移動手段とを備えており、個々のボックスモーションは、対応する側の整列ガイドの各集積溝内に製品を受入れて集積製品を形成するために、前記出口に前記対応整列ガイドの各集積溝を順次合致させるべく、前記対応整列ガイドを前記水平方向に間欠移動させる集積行程と、他の整列ガイドが先行して集積行程にあるとき、この先行の集積行程に引き続いて前記対応整列ガイドの集積行程を実施可能とすべく、対応整列ガイドを待機させる待機モードとを含んでいる(請求項1)。   In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the product transporting apparatus according to the present invention extends in the horizontal direction intersecting the supply direction of the supply conveyor from the vicinity of the outlet of the supply conveyor for intermittently supplying the product, and the product on the upper surface thereof. And a plurality of alignment guides arranged above the transfer table, each having a plurality of rows of accumulation grooves, the accumulation grooves extending in the supply direction and aligned in the horizontal direction. A plurality of alignment guides that can sequentially receive the products that have reached the outlet in the integrated groove when the integrated grooves of one alignment guide are aligned with the outlet of the supply conveyor. Each of the box motions receiving an integrated product in each collecting groove of the alignment guide on the corresponding side. In order to achieve this, the stacking process in which the corresponding alignment guide is intermittently moved in the horizontal direction and the other alignment guide are preceded in the stacking process in order to sequentially match the stacking grooves of the corresponding alignment guide to the outlet. And a standby mode for waiting the corresponding alignment guide in order to enable the corresponding alignment guide to be integrated following the preceding integration process.

上述の集積搬送装置によれば、1つの整列ガイドに対して集積行程が実施されているとき、製品の受入れ過程にある集積溝内の製品は供給コンベアの出口を規定する供給コンベアの上面又は搬送テーブルの上面に支持された状態にある。この後、その集積溝内への製品の受入れが完了して1つの整列ガイドが間欠移動されると、集積溝内の製品は供給コンベアから搬送テーブルに乗り移るか、又は、搬送テーブル上を搬送される。   According to the above-described stacking and conveying apparatus, when the stacking process is performed on one alignment guide, the product in the stacking groove in the process of receiving the product is the upper surface of the supply conveyor or the transfer that defines the outlet of the supply conveyor. It is supported on the upper surface of the table. Thereafter, when the acceptance of the product into the accumulation groove is completed and one alignment guide is intermittently moved, the product in the accumulation groove is transferred from the supply conveyor to the conveyance table or is conveyed on the conveyance table. The

1つの整列ガイドに対する集積行程が完了し、この整列ガイド内に集積製品が形成されても、本発明の集積搬送装置は複数の整列ガイドを備えているので、この後は、他の整列ガイドに対する集積行程が連続して実施され、そして、集積製品は他の整列ガイドとは無関係にして、搬送テーブル上での搬送が1つの整列ガイドにより可能である。それ故、本発明の集積搬送装置は、上述の集積行程を連続して実施可能にしつつ、集積製品の取出し位置を一カ所にする。   Even if the stacking process for one alignment guide is completed and an integrated product is formed in the alignment guide, the stacking and conveying apparatus of the present invention includes a plurality of alignment guides. The stacking process is carried out continuously, and the stacked product can be transported on the transport table with one aligning guide independently of the other aligning guides. Therefore, the stacking / conveying apparatus of the present invention makes it possible to carry out the above-described stacking process continuously, and makes the stacking position of the stacked product one.

好ましくは、複数の整列ガイドは、搬送テーブルと平行で且つ搬送テーブルからの高さが互いに異なる水平面内にてボックスモーションを実施し、前記待機モード中の前記対応整列ガイドは、先行の集積行程にある他の整列ガイドに対して上下方向に部分的に重なり合い、且つ、その集積溝のうちで端に位置した集積溝が前記出口に隣接した待機位置に位置付けられている(請求項2)。   Preferably, the plurality of alignment guides perform box motion in horizontal planes that are parallel to the conveyance table and have different heights from the conveyance table, and the corresponding alignment guides in the standby mode are in the preceding accumulation process. An accumulation groove that partially overlaps with another alignment guide in the vertical direction and that is located at the end of the accumulation groove is positioned at a standby position adjacent to the outlet (claim 2).

このように個々の整列ガイドのボックスモーションが互いに上下に異なる水平面にて実施されれば、複数の整列ガイドの移動軌跡は上下方向でのオーパラップが許容される。つまり、集積行程中の整列ガイドと待機モード中の整列ガイドとの上下方向の重なり合いや、待機モード中にある整列ガイド同士の上下方向の重なり合いが許容される。それ故、1つの整列ガイドの集積行程が完了すると同時に、待機モード中の整列ガイドにその集積行程を開始させることも可能となる。   In this way, if the box motions of the individual alignment guides are performed on different horizontal planes, the plurality of alignment guides can be overlapped in the vertical direction. That is, the vertical overlap of the alignment guide during the accumulation process and the alignment guide during the standby mode, and the vertical overlap of the alignment guides during the standby mode are allowed. Therefore, at the same time as the stacking process of one alignment guide is completed, the stacking process can be started by the alignment guide in the standby mode.

一方、ボックスモーションは、集積行程の終了後、供給コンベアの出口から水平方向に離れた搬送テーブル上の離間位置に対応整列ガイド内の集積製品を位置付けるべく、対応整列ガイドを搬送する搬送行程を更に含むことができる(請求項3)。この場合、集積製品が次の整列ガイドでの製品の集積を阻害することはなく、また、供給コンベアの出口から離れた離間位置にて、整列ガイドはそのボックスモーションにより集積製品を解放可能となる。   On the other hand, the box motion further performs a transport process for transporting the corresponding alignment guide in order to position the stacked product in the corresponding alignment guide at a separation position on the transport table that is horizontally separated from the outlet of the supply conveyor after the completion of the stacking process. (Claim 3). In this case, the accumulated product does not hinder the accumulation of the product in the next alignment guide, and the alignment guide can release the accumulated product by its box motion at a separated position away from the outlet of the supply conveyor. .

また、ボックスモーションは、搬送行程に引き続いて整列ガイドをその集積溝に沿う溝方向に退避させ、搬送テーブル上の離間位置に集積製品を残す退避行程を更に含み、そして、集積搬送装置は、離間位置にある集積製品を搬送テーブル上の取出し位置に搬送する排出手段を更に備えることができ、この排出手段は、前記溝方向とは直交する方向に集積製品を離間位置から前記取出し位置まで押し出す排出プッシャを含んでいる(請求項4)。   The box motion further includes a retreating process in which the alignment guide is retreated in the groove direction along the accumulation groove following the conveyance process, and the accumulated product is left at a separation position on the conveyance table. The discharging unit may further include a discharging unit that transports the accumulated product at a position to a take-out position on the carrying table, and the discharging unit pushes the accumulated product from the separation position to the take-out position in a direction perpendicular to the groove direction. A pusher is included (claim 4).

ここでの退避行程は、整列ガイドからの前述した集積製品の解放を達成し、そして、排出プッシャは集積製品を押し出すことで、集積製品の隣接する製品列を互いに密着させる。   The evacuation process here achieves the release of the above-mentioned integrated product from the alignment guide, and the discharge pusher pushes out the integrated product to bring adjacent product rows of the integrated product into close contact with each other.

請求項1の製品の集積搬送装置は複数の整列ガイドを備えているので、製品の集積行程を連続して実施でき、また、集積行程にて形成した集積製品を1カ所の取出し位置から取出すことができるので、後段の箱詰め装置等への集積製品を移送する後処理が頗る容易になる。
請求項2の集積搬送装置は、整列ガイドの相互の上下方向に重なり合いを許容しているので、複数の整列ガイドを備えていても、これらのボックスモーションが要求する占有領域を小さくでき、装置全体の省スペース化に大きく寄与する。
Since the product stacking and conveying apparatus according to the first aspect includes a plurality of alignment guides, the product stacking process can be continuously performed, and the stacked product formed in the stacking process is taken out from one take-out position. Therefore, post-processing for transferring the integrated product to a subsequent boxing device or the like becomes easier.
Since the stacking and conveying apparatus according to the second aspect allows the alignment guides to overlap each other in the vertical direction, the area occupied by these box motions can be reduced even if a plurality of alignment guides are provided. This greatly contributes to space saving.

請求項3の集積搬送装置は、1つの整列ガイドに対する集積行程の完了後、集積製品を供給コンベアの出口から離間した離間位置に搬送するので、集積製品自体が次の整列ガイドに対する製品の集積を阻害することはない。
請求項4の集積搬送装置は、離間位置にて集積製品を整列ガイドから解放し、解放した
集積製品を取出し位置に搬送する過程にて、その隣接する製品列を互いに密着させることができ、この後の集積製品の箱詰めが容易になる。
The integrated conveying device according to claim 3 conveys the accumulated product to a spaced position separated from the outlet of the supply conveyor after completion of the accumulation process for one alignment guide, so that the accumulated product itself accumulates the product with respect to the next alignment guide. There is no inhibition.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the process of releasing the accumulated product from the alignment guide at the separated position and conveying the released accumulated product to the take-out position, the adjacent product rows can be brought into close contact with each other. Later packaging of the integrated product is facilitated.

図1は一実施例の製品の集積搬送装置を概略的に示す。
集積搬送装置は供給コンベア2に接続されており、この供給コンベア2はその出口4に向けて円筒状の製品Aを移送し、出口4に製品Aを間欠的に到達させる。ここで、出口4は本実施例の場合、供給コンベア2の終端域にて規定されている。
集積搬送装置は出口4の近傍に搬送テーブル6を備え、この搬送テーブル6は出口4から供給コンベア2の側方、即ち、供給コンベア2の製品Aの供給方向と交差する方向、具体的には直交する方向に水平方向に延びている。即ち、搬送テーブル6は出口4に隣接した一端と、出口4から離れた他端とを有し、その上面は供給コンベア2の出口4と同一の高さ位置に位置付けられている。
FIG. 1 schematically shows a product stacking and conveying apparatus according to an embodiment.
The stacking and conveying apparatus is connected to the supply conveyor 2, which feeds the cylindrical product A toward the outlet 4, and causes the product A to reach the outlet 4 intermittently. Here, the outlet 4 is defined in the terminal area of the supply conveyor 2 in this embodiment.
The stacking and conveying apparatus includes a conveying table 6 in the vicinity of the outlet 4, and this conveying table 6 is located on the side of the supply conveyor 2 from the outlet 4, that is, in a direction intersecting the supply direction of the product A on the supply conveyor 2, specifically It extends in the horizontal direction in the orthogonal direction. That is, the transfer table 6 has one end adjacent to the outlet 4 and the other end away from the outlet 4, and the upper surface thereof is positioned at the same height as the outlet 4 of the supply conveyor 2.

搬送テーブル6の上方には複数の整列ガイド8が配置され、本実施例の場合、整列ガイド8は8a,8bの2つ備えられている。これら整列ガイド8は水平な櫛状をなし、供給コンベア2側を向いた櫛歯を有する。具体的には、整列ガイド8はその櫛歯を形成する集積溝列10を有し、この集積溝列10の集積溝12は供給コンベア2における製品Aの供給方向に延び、そして、搬送テーブル6の長手方向(水平方向)に一定の配列ピッチで複数配置されている。集積溝12は製品Aを一列にして受入可能な溝幅を有し、また、製品Aを複数個収容可能な長さを有する。   A plurality of alignment guides 8 are arranged above the transport table 6. In the present embodiment, two alignment guides 8a and 8b are provided. These alignment guides 8 form a horizontal comb shape and have comb teeth facing the supply conveyor 2 side. Specifically, the alignment guide 8 has an accumulation groove row 10 that forms the comb teeth. The accumulation groove 12 of the accumulation groove row 10 extends in the supply direction of the product A in the supply conveyor 2, and the conveyance table 6. Are arranged at a constant arrangement pitch in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction). The accumulation groove 12 has a groove width capable of receiving the products A in a row, and has a length capable of accommodating a plurality of products A.

本実施例の場合、集積溝列10は5列の集積溝12からなり、各集積溝12は5個の製品Aを収容可能な長さを有する。従って、集積溝列10の各集積溝12内が製品Aで満たされたとき、集積溝列10は5×5の製品Aからなる集積製品Bを形成する。
図2から明らかなように、搬送テーブル6からの整列ガイド8a,8bの高さ位置は互いに異なり、そして、整列ガイド8a,8bは独立したボックスモーションをその高さ位置の水平面内にて実施可能となっている。
In the case of the present embodiment, the integrated groove row 10 includes five rows of integrated grooves 12, and each integrated groove 12 has a length capable of accommodating five products A. Accordingly, when each of the integrated grooves 12 of the integrated groove array 10 is filled with the product A, the integrated groove array 10 forms an integrated product B made up of 5 × 5 products A.
As is apparent from FIG. 2, the height positions of the alignment guides 8a and 8b from the transport table 6 are different from each other, and the alignment guides 8a and 8b can perform independent box motions in the horizontal plane at the height position. It has become.

次に、整列ガイド8a,8bのボックスモーションを実施する駆動系(移動手段)について説明する。
前述したように櫛状の整列ガイド8a,8bはその背部に支持ブラケット14をそれぞれ備え、これら支持ブラケット14を介して進退シリンダ16a,16b、即ち、これらの進退シリンダ16a,16bのピストンロッド18にそれぞれ支持されている。各進退シリンダ16は、供給コンベア2に対して反対側となる搬送テーブル6の側方に上下に配置され、それらのピストンロッド18は搬送テーブル6に対して接離する方向に延びている。
Next, a drive system (moving means) that performs the box motion of the alignment guides 8a and 8b will be described.
As described above, the comb-shaped alignment guides 8a and 8b are each provided with the support bracket 14 on the back thereof, and the advance / retreat cylinders 16a and 16b, that is, the piston rods 18 of the advance / retreat cylinders 16a and 16b are interposed through the support brackets 14 respectively. Each is supported. Each advancing / retreating cylinder 16 is arranged vertically on the side of the conveyance table 6 on the opposite side to the supply conveyor 2, and the piston rods 18 extend in a direction in which the piston rod 18 contacts and separates from the conveyance table 6.

上側の進退シリンダ16aはホルダ20aを介して上側のリニアアクチュエータ22aに保持されている。このリニアアクチュエータ22aは図1から明らかなように、搬送テーブル6の長手方向に沿って水平に延び、その内部にフィードスクリュー(図示しない)を収容している。このフィードスクリューにはその往復回転に伴い、搬送テーブル6の長手方向に沿って往復動する可動体24aが取付けられており、この可動体24aに前述のホルダ20a、即ち、進退シリンダ16aが連結されている。   The upper advance / retreat cylinder 16a is held by the upper linear actuator 22a via the holder 20a. As is apparent from FIG. 1, the linear actuator 22a extends horizontally along the longitudinal direction of the transport table 6 and accommodates a feed screw (not shown) therein. A movable body 24a that reciprocates along the longitudinal direction of the transport table 6 is attached to the feed screw along with its reciprocating rotation, and the holder 20a, that is, the advance / retreat cylinder 16a is connected to the movable body 24a. ing.

下側の進退シリンダ16bはホルダ20bを介して下側のリニアアクチュエータ22bに保持されており、このリニアアクチュエータ22bは図2に加えて図3からも明らかなようにリニアアクチュエータ22aと上下方向でみて互い重なり合うように配置され、リニアアクチュエータ22aと平行に延びている。リニアアクチュエータ22bは、リニアアクチュエータ22aに対してその上下の向きが異なるものの同一の構造を有し、その可動体24bがホルダ20b、即ち、進退シリンダ16bに連結されている。   The lower advancing / retracting cylinder 16b is held by the lower linear actuator 22b via the holder 20b. This linear actuator 22b is viewed in the vertical direction with respect to the linear actuator 22a as is apparent from FIG. 3 in addition to FIG. It arrange | positions so that it may mutually overlap, and is extended in parallel with the linear actuator 22a. The linear actuator 22b has the same structure although the vertical direction is different from that of the linear actuator 22a, and the movable body 24b is connected to the holder 20b, that is, the advance / retreat cylinder 16b.

一方、図1に示されているように、搬送テーブル6上には一対のサイドガイド26が備えられており、これらサイドガイド26は前述した整列ガイド8a,8bのボックスモーションが実施される水平面よりも下側に配置されている。具体的には、一対のサイドガイド26は搬送テーブル6の幅方向に互いに離間し、搬送テーブル6の一端から他端に向けて平行に延びている。なお、一対のサイドガイド26の間隔は前述した集積溝列10の集積溝12に沿った集積製品Bの集積長さにほぼ等しく設定されている。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of side guides 26 are provided on the transport table 6, and these side guides 26 are from a horizontal plane where the box motion of the alignment guides 8 a and 8 b described above is performed. Is also arranged on the lower side. Specifically, the pair of side guides 26 are separated from each other in the width direction of the transport table 6 and extend in parallel from one end of the transport table 6 to the other end. The distance between the pair of side guides 26 is set to be approximately equal to the integrated length of the integrated product B along the integrated grooves 12 of the integrated groove array 10 described above.

更に、供給コンベア2側には、前述した上下のリニアアクチュエータ22a,22bとの間にて搬送テーブル6を挟むようにして排出機構28が配置されている。この排出機構28はリニアアクチュエータ22と同様なリニアアクチュエータ30を備え、このリニアアクチュエータ30は搬送テーブル6の上方を搬送テーブル6の長手方向に沿って延びている。   Further, on the supply conveyor 2 side, a discharge mechanism 28 is disposed so as to sandwich the transport table 6 between the above-described upper and lower linear actuators 22a and 22b. The discharge mechanism 28 includes a linear actuator 30 similar to the linear actuator 22, and the linear actuator 30 extends above the transport table 6 along the longitudinal direction of the transport table 6.

リニアアクチュエータ30はその下面に可動体32を備え、この可動体32にホルダを介して進退シリンダ34が取付けられている。この進退シリンダ34は搬送テーブル6に対して接離するピストンロッド36を有し、このピストンロッド36には搬送テーブル6側の端部に排出プッシャ38が支持されている。この排出プッシャ38はL字形状の板材からなり、搬送テーブル6の幅方向に延びるプッシャ面を有する。なお、排出プッシャ38は前述したサイドガイド26より高い位置に配置されている。   The linear actuator 30 includes a movable body 32 on its lower surface, and an advance / retreat cylinder 34 is attached to the movable body 32 via a holder. The advancing / retreating cylinder 34 has a piston rod 36 that contacts and separates from the transport table 6, and a discharge pusher 38 is supported on the piston rod 36 at the end on the transport table 6 side. The discharge pusher 38 is made of an L-shaped plate material and has a pusher surface extending in the width direction of the transport table 6. The discharge pusher 38 is arranged at a position higher than the side guide 26 described above.

次に、図4〜図11を参照しながら集積搬送装置の動作について説明する。
先ず、図4(a),(b)は、集積搬送装置の初期状態を示す。この初期状態では、例えば、下側の整列ガイド8bが供給コンベア2の出口4に到達した製品Aをその集積溝列10の1つの集積溝12内に受入れる受入開始位置P1に位置付けられている。即ち、このとき、整列ガイド8bは搬送テーブル6の上方にあって、図4(a)でみたとき、集積溝列10の右端に位置する集積溝12が供給コンベア2の出口4と合致した状態、つまり、出口4の直上に位置すべく配置されている。それ故、供給コンベア2の出口4に順次到達する製品Aは、出口4と合致した集積溝12内に順次受入れられ、その先頭の製品Aが集積溝12の閉塞端に当接した状態で、集積溝12内にて一列に並ぶ。
Next, the operation of the stacking and conveying apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.
4A and 4B show an initial state of the stacking and conveying apparatus. In this initial state, for example, the lower alignment guide 8b is positioned at the reception start position P1 where the product A that has reached the outlet 4 of the supply conveyor 2 is received in one accumulation groove 12 of the accumulation groove row 10. That is, at this time, the alignment guide 8b is above the transport table 6, and the stacking groove 12 positioned at the right end of the stacking groove row 10 matches the outlet 4 of the supply conveyor 2 when viewed in FIG. That is, it is arranged so as to be located immediately above the outlet 4. Therefore, the products A that sequentially reach the outlet 4 of the supply conveyor 2 are sequentially received in the accumulation groove 12 that matches the outlet 4, and the leading product A is in contact with the closed end of the accumulation groove 12, They are arranged in a row in the accumulation groove 12.

一方、このとき、上側の整列ガイド8aは待機モード中、つまり、待機位置P2にて待機した状態にある。詳しくは、待機位置P2では、整列ガイド8aは整列ガイド8bと上下に部分的に重なり合い、その集積溝列10の右端の集積溝12が出口4に対して左側に隣接した位置、即ち、集積溝12の配列ピッチ分だけ出口4から左側にずれた位置にある。この場合、整列ガイド8aの右端の集積溝12は、整列ガイド8bの右端の集積溝12に対して左隣の集積溝12と上下方向に合致した状態にある。   On the other hand, at this time, the upper alignment guide 8a is in the standby mode, that is, in the standby state at the standby position P2. Specifically, at the standby position P2, the alignment guide 8a partially overlaps the alignment guide 8b vertically, and the rightmost accumulation groove 12 of the accumulation groove row 10 is adjacent to the left side with respect to the outlet 4, that is, the accumulation groove. The position is shifted to the left side from the outlet 4 by 12 arrangement pitches. In this case, the accumulation groove 12 on the right end of the alignment guide 8a is in a state of being vertically aligned with the accumulation groove 12 on the left side with respect to the accumulation groove 12 on the right end of the alignment guide 8b.

なお、図4〜図11において、供給コンベア2の出口4は、この出口4に合致する集積溝12を明瞭に表すために、その合致する集積溝12の開口端と隣接した位置にて、製品Aと同様な円で示されており、また、整列ガイド8a,8bの識別を容易にするため、整列ガイド8bはその表面にドットを分布して示されている。
また、初期状態では、前述した排出プッシャ38もまた搬送テーブル6の上方から退避した待機位置P3にある。この待機位置P3は図4でみて出口4から右側に所定の距離だけ離れている。
4 to 11, the outlet 4 of the supply conveyor 2 is a product at a position adjacent to the opening end of the corresponding integrated groove 12 in order to clearly represent the integrated groove 12 that matches the outlet 4. A circle similar to A is shown, and in order to facilitate the identification of the alignment guides 8a and 8b, the alignment guide 8b is shown with dots distributed on the surface thereof.
Further, in the initial state, the above-described discharge pusher 38 is also in the standby position P3 retracted from above the transport table 6. This standby position P3 is separated from the outlet 4 on the right side by a predetermined distance as seen in FIG.

整列ガイド8bの右端の集積溝12内が製品Aで満杯になったとき、即ち、この集積溝12内に5個の製品Aが受入られたとき、整列ガイド8bはリニアアクチュエータ22bの働きにより、集積溝12の配列ピッチだけ右方、つまり、搬送テーブル6の他端側に間欠移動され、次の集積溝12が出口4と合致する。それ故、この後にあっては次の集積溝12内に出口4に到達した製品Aが受入られる一方、右端の集積溝12は出口4から搬送テーブル6上に乗り移り、この集積溝12内の製品Aは搬送テーブル6の上面に支持される。   When the accumulation groove 12 at the right end of the alignment guide 8b is filled with the product A, that is, when five products A are received in the accumulation groove 12, the alignment guide 8b is operated by the linear actuator 22b. The stacking groove 12 is intermittently moved to the right by the arrangement pitch of the stacking grooves 12, that is, the other end side of the transport table 6, and the next stacking groove 12 matches the outlet 4. Therefore, after this, the product A that has reached the outlet 4 is received in the next accumulation groove 12, while the rightmost accumulation groove 12 is transferred from the outlet 4 onto the conveying table 6, and the product in the accumulation groove 12 is obtained. A is supported on the upper surface of the transfer table 6.

なお、整列ガイド8bの間欠移動は例えば、供給コンベア2の出口4手前に配置されたセンサ(図示しない)により、出口4に到達した製品A、即ち、集積溝12内に受入れられた製品Aの個数をカウントすることで制御され、また、ここでの間欠移動は出口4への製品Aの到達間隔内にて完了する。
図5中の矢印Cで示す整列ガイド8bの間欠移動の繰り返し、即ち、整列ガイド8bの集積行程が実施されることで、整列ガイド8bの各集積溝12は順次製品Aで満たされ、その集積溝列10内に製品Aが集積される。
The intermittent movement of the alignment guide 8b is performed by, for example, a sensor A (not shown) arranged before the outlet 4 of the supply conveyor 2, that is, the product A that has reached the outlet 4, that is, the product A received in the accumulation groove 12. It is controlled by counting the number, and the intermittent movement here is completed within the arrival interval of the product A to the outlet 4.
By repeating the intermittent movement of the alignment guide 8b indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 5, that is, the accumulation process of the alignment guide 8b, each accumulation groove 12 of the alignment guide 8b is sequentially filled with the product A, and the accumulation is performed. Product A is accumulated in the groove array 10.

整列ガイド8bに対する製品Aの集積が完了し、その集積溝列10内に集積製品Bが形成された時点で、整列ガイド8bはリニアアクチュエータ22bの働きにより、図6中の矢印Dで示す右方、即ち、搬送テーブル6の他端側に向けて大きく移動され、搬送テーブル6の長手方向でみて、前述した排出プッシャ36の待機位置P3を越えた離間位置P4に位置付けられる。ここでの整列ガイド8bの移動はその集積溝列10内に集積した集積製品Bを出口4側から離間位置P4まで搬送する搬送行程となる。   When the integration of the product A with respect to the alignment guide 8b is completed and the integrated product B is formed in the integration groove row 10, the alignment guide 8b is moved to the right as indicated by an arrow D in FIG. 6 by the action of the linear actuator 22b. That is, it is moved largely toward the other end side of the transfer table 6 and is positioned at the separation position P4 beyond the standby position P3 of the discharge pusher 36 as seen in the longitudinal direction of the transfer table 6. The movement of the alignment guide 8b here is a transporting process for transporting the integrated product B accumulated in the accumulation groove row 10 from the outlet 4 side to the separation position P4.

一方、整列ガイド8bの搬送行程と同時に、待機位置P2にあった上側の整列ガイド8aはそのリニアアクチュエータ22aの働きにより、整列ガイド8bでの集積行程と同様な集積行程を開始し、その集積溝列10の右端の集積溝12が出口4に合致した受入開始位置P1に位置付けられる。それ故、整列ガイド8bに対する製品Aの集積に引き続き同様にして、整列ガイド8aに対する製品Aの集積が連続して実施される。   On the other hand, simultaneously with the conveying process of the alignment guide 8b, the upper alignment guide 8a located at the standby position P2 starts the accumulation process similar to the accumulation process in the alignment guide 8b by the action of the linear actuator 22a, and the accumulation groove The accumulation groove 12 at the right end of the row 10 is positioned at the reception start position P 1 that matches the outlet 4. Therefore, the product A is continuously accumulated on the alignment guide 8a in the same manner as the product A is accumulated on the alignment guide 8b.

なお、集積製品Bの搬送行程が実施される際、搬送テーブル6の長手方向でみて集積製品Bの両側は前述した一対のサイドガイド26により案内され、集積製品Bはその一部の製品Aが整列ガイド8bの集積溝列10から飛び出すこともなく、離間位置P4まで安定して搬送される。また、一対のサイドガイド26は集積製品Bの搬送を案内するのみならず、前述した集積行程中、各集積溝12内に形成された製品列の間欠移動をも案内する。   When the transporting process of the integrated product B is performed, both sides of the integrated product B are guided by the pair of side guides 26 as seen in the longitudinal direction of the transport table 6, and the integrated product B includes a part of the products A. The alignment guide 8b is stably transported to the separation position P4 without jumping out from the accumulation groove row 10. The pair of side guides 26 not only guide the conveyance of the accumulated product B but also guide the intermittent movement of the product rows formed in each accumulation groove 12 during the above-described accumulation process.

整列ガイド8aでの集積行程の実施中、図7中の矢印Eで示すように排出プッシャ38はその進退シリンダ34の働きにより待機位置P3から搬送テーブル6に向けて前進され、そして、搬送テーブル6の上方に規定された前進位置、即ち、離間位置P4にある集積製品Bの左方に位置付けられる。
一方、排出プッシャ38の前進と同時に、整列ガイド8bはその進退シリンダ16bの働きにより、矢印Fで示すように離間位置P4から搬送テーブル6の外側、つまり、排出プッシャ38の待機位置P3とは反対側に向けて、その集積溝12の溝方向に退避する。このような整列ガイド8bの退避行程は、整列ガイド8bから集積製品Bを解放し、搬送テーブル6上に残す。ここで、図7から明らかなように搬送テーブル6上に残された集積製品Bはその各製品列間に、整列ガイド8bによる間隔(隣接する集積溝12の離間間隔)を有している。
During the accumulation process in the alignment guide 8a, the discharge pusher 38 is advanced from the standby position P3 toward the conveyance table 6 by the action of the advance / retreat cylinder 34 as shown by the arrow E in FIG. Is positioned to the left of the integrated product B in the forward position defined above, that is, the separation position P4.
On the other hand, simultaneously with the advancement of the discharge pusher 38, the alignment guide 8b is moved from the separation position P4 to the outside of the transport table 6, that is, opposite to the standby position P3 of the discharge pusher 38, as indicated by an arrow F, by the action of the advance / retreat cylinder 16b. Retreats toward the groove in the groove direction of the accumulation groove 12. In such a retracting process of the alignment guide 8b, the integrated product B is released from the alignment guide 8b and is left on the transport table 6. Here, as is apparent from FIG. 7, the accumulated product B remaining on the transfer table 6 has an interval between the product rows by the alignment guide 8 b (a spacing interval between the adjacent accumulation grooves 12).

整列ガイド8bの退避行程が実施された後、排出プッシャ38はそのリニアアクチュエータ30の働きにより離間位置P4にある集積製品Bに向けて移動し、集積製品Bを搬送テーブル6の他端側に規定された取出し位置P5まで搬送する(図8中の矢印G方向)。ここでの排出プッシャ38による集積製品Bの搬送は、排出プッシャ38が集積製品Bの各製品列を順次、取出し位置P5に向けて押し出していくことから、図8から明らかなように集積製品Bは取出し位置P5に搬送される過程にて、その製品列間の間隔が解消され、これら製品列が互いに密着した集積製品B’となる。   After the retracting process of the alignment guide 8b is performed, the discharge pusher 38 is moved toward the integrated product B at the separation position P4 by the action of the linear actuator 30, and the integrated product B is defined on the other end side of the transport table 6. It is transported to the taken out position P5 (in the direction of arrow G in FIG. 8). The transport of the integrated product B by the discharge pusher 38 here is because the discharge pusher 38 sequentially pushes each product row of the integrated product B toward the take-out position P5, and as is apparent from FIG. In the process of being conveyed to the take-out position P5, the interval between the product rows is eliminated, and these product rows become an integrated product B ′ in close contact with each other.

一方、上述の退避行程の後、整列ガイド8bはそのリニアアクチュエータ22bの働きにより、図8中の矢印Hで示すように搬送テーブル6の一端側、即ち、供給コンベア2の終端4側に向けて回帰し、この回帰行程は上述した集積製品Bの搬送と並行して実施される。ここでの整列ガイド8bの回帰行程において、整列ガイド8bは集積行程中にある整列ガイド8aに対して上下方向に部分的に重なり合う回帰ラインを辿り、そして、搬送テーブル6の長手方向でみて、前述した待機位置P2と対応した回帰位置に位置付けられる。   On the other hand, after the above-described retraction process, the alignment guide 8b is moved toward one end side of the transport table 6, that is, toward the end 4 side of the supply conveyor 2, as indicated by an arrow H in FIG. It returns and this regression process is implemented in parallel with conveyance of the integrated product B mentioned above. In the return stroke of the alignment guide 8b here, the alignment guide 8b follows a return line that partially overlaps with the alignment guide 8a in the stacking process in the vertical direction, and when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the transport table 6, It is positioned at the return position corresponding to the standby position P2.

このように整列ガイド8bが回帰行程を実施する際、また、前述した待機位置P2にて整列ガイド8aが待機するとき、整列ガイド8a,8b相互の上下の重なり合いが許容されていることから、これら整列ガイド8のボックスモーションが要求する占有領域を小さく抑えることができ、このことは集積搬送装置の省スペース化に大きく寄与する。
この後、図9中の矢印Iで示すように整列ガイド8bはその進退シリンダ16bの働きにより回帰位置から待機位置P2に向けて前進する準備行程を実施し、待機位置P2に位置付けられる。一方、排出プッシャ38もまたその進退シリンダ34の働きにより、矢印Jで示すように取出し位置P5から搬送テーブル6の外側に向けて退避し、この後、更に、図10中の矢印Kで示すように、そのリニアアクチュエータ30の働きにより待機位置P3に向けて回帰し、この待機位置P3に位置付けられる。
As described above, when the alignment guide 8b performs the return stroke, and when the alignment guide 8a waits at the standby position P2, the alignment guides 8a and 8b are allowed to overlap each other. The area occupied by the box motion of the alignment guide 8 can be kept small, which greatly contributes to space saving of the stacking and conveying apparatus.
Thereafter, as shown by an arrow I in FIG. 9, the alignment guide 8b performs a preparatory process of moving forward from the return position toward the standby position P2 by the action of the advance / retreat cylinder 16b, and is positioned at the standby position P2. On the other hand, the discharge pusher 38 also retreats from the take-out position P5 toward the outside of the transfer table 6 as indicated by an arrow J by the action of the advance / retreat cylinder 34, and thereafter, as indicated by an arrow K in FIG. Then, the linear actuator 30 returns to the standby position P3 by the action of the linear actuator 30, and is positioned at this standby position P3.

なお、取出し位置P5の集積製品B’は搬送テーブル6から取出され、図示しない箱詰め装置により箱詰めされる。
この後、図10から明らかなように整列ガイド8aでの製品Aの集積が完了すると、前述した整列ガイド8bでの場合と同様に図11に示される如く、整列ガイド8aはそのリニアアクチュエータ22aの働きによって離間位置P4に集積製品Bとともに移動され、この移動と同時に、待機位置P2の整列ガイド8bが再び受入開始位置P1に位置付けられ、この整列ガイド8bに対する製品Aの集積が繰り返される。それ故、図11の状態は図6中の整列ガイド8a,8bの位置を互いに入れ替えた状態に相当する。
The accumulated product B ′ at the take-out position P5 is taken out from the transfer table 6 and boxed by a boxing device (not shown).
Thereafter, as is apparent from FIG. 10, when the integration of the product A by the alignment guide 8a is completed, the alignment guide 8a is connected to the linear actuator 22a as shown in FIG. 11 as in the case of the alignment guide 8b. As a result, the product is moved together with the accumulated product B to the separation position P4. Simultaneously with this movement, the alignment guide 8b at the standby position P2 is positioned again at the reception start position P1, and the accumulation of the product A with respect to the alignment guide 8b is repeated. Therefore, the state of FIG. 11 corresponds to a state in which the positions of the alignment guides 8a and 8b in FIG.

そして、整列ガイド8aは、前述した整列ガイド8bのボックスモーション(C→D→F→H→I)と同様なボックスモーションを実施する一方、排出プッシャ38の排出動作が繰り返され、整列ガイド8aにより離間位置P4まで搬送された集積製品Bは集積製品B’として取出し位置P5まで搬送される。
従って、図6〜図10に示した整列ガイド8a,8bのボックスモーションが交互に繰り返して実施されることで、製品Aの連続した集積が可能となり、そして、集積製品B’の取出し位置P5が一カ所であるから、前述した集積製品B’の後処理が容易となる。
The alignment guide 8a performs the box motion similar to the box motion (C → D → F → H → I) of the alignment guide 8b described above, while the discharge operation of the discharge pusher 38 is repeated, and the alignment guide 8a The accumulated product B conveyed to the separation position P4 is conveyed to the take-out position P5 as the accumulated product B ′.
Accordingly, the box motions of the alignment guides 8a and 8b shown in FIGS. 6 to 10 are alternately and repeatedly performed, so that the product A can be continuously accumulated, and the take-out position P5 of the accumulated product B ′ is determined. Since it is one place, the post-processing of the integrated product B ′ described above becomes easy.

本発明は上述の一実施例に制約されるものではなく、種々の変形が可能である。
例えば、待機モード中の整列ガイド8は、製品Aの集積が実施されている他の整列ガイド8の集積行程と連動して受入開始位置P1に向けて間欠移動するものであってもよい。
また、集積搬送装置は3個以上の整列ガイド8を使用して製品Aの集積を連続して実施するものであってよい。
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
For example, the alignment guide 8 in the standby mode may be intermittently moved toward the reception start position P1 in conjunction with the accumulation process of the other alignment guide 8 on which the product A is being accumulated.
Further, the stacking / conveying apparatus may continuously stack the products A using three or more alignment guides 8.
