Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bent wire rod for constructing a wire conveyor free from the risk that trouble occurs because hooks disposed on both ends of the bent wire rod constructing one wire conveyor are caught on another wire conveyor when a wire conveyor is used with an auxiliary wire conveyor disposed at an upper side to press the wire conveyor or when a plurality of wire conveyors are connected in series for use and to provide a wire conveyor constructed using the same.SOLUTION: Each of the bent wire rods 1, 2 for constructing a wire conveyor is fabricated by bending a metal wire rod such as a stainless steel wire rod downward in vertical and horizontal directions and then bending it upward in vertical and horizontal directions to construct a suitable number of recesses 8 expanded a little in a bottom end direction one after another, forming a pair of hooks 9 on both ends of the bent wire rod, and curving both ends thereof a little upward to form a pair of curved sections 10. The bent wire rod can be connected to another bent wire rod by fitting the recesses 8 to the recesses 8 of another bent wire rod.

Description

  The present invention relates to a folding material for constituting a wire conveyor and a wire conveyor constituted using the same, and more specifically for the construction of a conveying line in various food and machine production lines, processing lines, washing lines, etc. The present invention relates to a folding line material for configuring a wire conveyor to be used, and a wire conveyor configured using the same.

  The said wire conveyor is comprised by connecting the bent material which bent the wire rod made from stainless steel generally. The bent line material is formed by bending several wires in a slightly hem-spreaded part, and hooks are formed at both ends, which are formed by bending the wire material in the order of downward vertical direction, horizontal direction, upward vertical direction, and horizontal direction. Is. A large number of the bent portions are connected by fitting the recessed portions into the recessed portions of another bent portion, thereby forming a wire conveyor. In general, the wire conveyor is driven by circulating each folding material directly on a drive sprocket, and each folding material has a relationship of pulling a subsequent folding material connected thereto.

  This wire conveyor is widely used in production, processing, cleaning and other lines in various factories. And it goes without saying that the general usage form is to carry the processed product on top, for example, in the case of blowing air from the vertical direction or the lateral direction to the processed product for water removal, for example. An auxiliary wire conveyor 22 for holding down the workpiece 20 is provided on the upper side of the main wire conveyor 21 as a conveying means (see FIG. 4). Similarly, a presser wire conveyor 22 for suppressing the movement of the fried food is disposed on the upper side of the main wire conveyor 21 for conveying the fried food while conveying the fried food in the fryer 23. (See FIG. 5).

  In these cases, the upper auxiliary wire conveyor 22 is stretched loosely so as not to damage the processed product, and is brought into a state of lightly contacting the lower main wire conveyor 21. There is a speed difference between them. Therefore, there is a problem that a failure is likely to occur due to hooks at both ends of the upper auxiliary wire conveyor 22 being hooked on the lower main wire conveyor 21. This hook catching is particularly likely to occur at the time of separation 24 from the lower wire conveyor 21 of the upper auxiliary wire conveyor 22.

  Further, in order to increase the length of the workpiece conveyance path, a plurality of wire conveyors 25 and 26 are connected in series so that the workpiece 20 can be transferred from the downstream wire conveyor 25 to the upstream wire conveyor 26 ( (See FIG. 6). However, the wire conveyors 25 and 26 are in a flat state in the transport path, but when they circulate along the end roller 27, the flatness tends to be lost due to the loss of the flatness. There is a risk that the hook of the wire conveyor may be caught by the wire conveyor on the other side. In particular, in order to prevent the processed product 20 from falling into the gap 28 between the wire conveyors 25, 26, the risk increases when the end roller is made to have a small diameter in order to reduce the gap 28. It becomes easy to be done.

  As described above, in the conventional wire conveyor, when the auxiliary wire conveyor for holding is arranged on the upper side and used, or when a plurality of wire conveyors are used in series, the hook of one of the wire conveyors is It often caught on the other wire conveyor and caused failure.

  Therefore, the present invention does not have such a problem, that is, when an auxiliary wire conveyor for holding is arranged on the upper side, or when a plurality of wire conveyors are used in series, It is an object of the present invention to provide a foldable material for configuring a wire conveyor and a wire conveyor configured using the same, in which the hooks at both ends of the wire are not caught on the other wire conveyor and a failure is not induced.

  The invention according to claim 1 for solving the above-described problem is a folding line material for constituting a wire conveyor, and a metal wire material such as stainless steel is used in a downward vertical direction, a horizontal direction, an upward vertical direction, and a horizontal direction. Folded in order to form a few dents that are slightly wider at the bottom and to form hooks at both ends, and further, both ends are slightly bent upwards, and the recesses are the same as those of the other folding materials. It is a foldable material for a wire conveyor structure which can be connected to the other foldable material by fitting into a recessed portion. Usually, the bay bending angle of the said both ends is made into the range of 5-30 degrees.

  The invention which concerns on Claim 3 for solving the said subject is comprised using the folding material for wire conveyor structure of the said structure, It is a wire conveyor characterized by the above-mentioned.

  As described above, the folding material for wire conveyor configuration according to the present invention has its both ends bent slightly upward, so that the wire conveyor configured using this folding material has both edges in the traveling direction. Will go up or down.

  Therefore, for example, an auxiliary wire conveyor for pressing a workpiece disposed on the upper side of the main wire conveyor having a flat conveying surface is made of a main folding curve material, and both edges of the traveling direction are at the time of lower circulation. If it is configured to be raised, both edges thereof will be separated from the flat conveying surface of the lower main wire conveyor, and when the auxiliary wire conveyor is separated from the main wire conveyor, the hooks on both sides thereof are the main wire conveyor. There is no possibility of being caught by the hook, and therefore, there is an effect that the occurrence of a failure due to the hook catching is reliably prevented.

  In addition, when a wire conveyor is provided continuously for the purpose of lengthening the conveyance path, at least one of the upstream and downstream wire conveyors is formed by using the main folding curve material and both edges of the conveyance surface are If it is configured to be lowered, the edges of the wire conveyor on the upstream side and the wire conveyor on the downstream side are separated from each other and do not interfere with each other. There is an effect that the occurrence of a failure due to being caught on the conveyor is surely prevented.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 are bent materials according to the present invention, which are formed by bending linear raw materials such as stainless steel and iron. The wire diameter is usually selected in the range of 0.9 to 6 mm according to the weight and size of the conveyed product.

  The bending of the linear raw material is basically performed in the same manner as in the case of a conventional bent material. That is, first, the linear raw material is bent in the vertical direction (downward in FIG. 3) to form the short vertical side 4, and then bent in the horizontal direction to form the long horizontal side 5, followed by the vertical direction. By bending upward (in FIG. 1) to form the short vertical side 6 and further bending in the horizontal direction to form the long horizontal side 7, the short vertical sides 4 and 6 and the long horizontal side 5 are formed. Then, the recessed portions 8 are formed, and thereafter, the plurality of recessed portions 8 are arranged in parallel. Then, hooks 9 are formed at both ends to complete.

  However, in the bent materials 1 and 2 according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described processing steps, a step of bending the both ends slightly upward to provide the bay bent portion 10 is added. The bay bending angle is arbitrary, but is usually in the range of 10 to 45 degrees. FIG. 2 shows the bent portion 10 formed by bending, but it may be formed by bending. In addition, the above description does not necessarily show the order of the bending process, and it goes without saying that the bending can be performed in an arbitrary order, for example, the hook 9 is formed first.

  The configuration of the wire conveyor using the bent materials 1 and 2 is performed by fitting the recessed portion 8 of the bent material 1 into the recessed portion 8 of another bent material 2 as in the conventional case. In the case of a wire conveyor constructed using the bent materials 1 and 2, both edges in the traveling direction are raised or lowered by an angle α (see FIG. 2).

  Therefore, for example, an auxiliary wire conveyor (see FIGS. 4 and 5) for holding a processed product disposed on the upper side of the main wire conveyor having a flat conveyance surface is configured using the main folding curve materials 1 and 2. By configuring it so that both edges of the advancing direction are raised at the time of the lower circulation that is in contact with or close to the lower main wire conveyor, both edges of the lower main wire conveyor The angle α is separated from the flat conveyance surface (see FIG. 2). Therefore, the hook of the auxiliary wire conveyor is not caught on the main wire conveyor.

  Moreover, when connecting a wire conveyor for the lengthening of a conveyance path (refer FIG. 6), it comprises at least one of the upstream and downstream wire conveyors using the main folding curve materials 1 and 2, If the both edges of the conveying surface are configured to be lowered, the edges of the upstream side and the downstream side of the wire conveyor are separated from each other. Is unlikely to be caught on the other wire conveyor, and the occurrence of a failure due to the hook 9 being caught is reliably prevented.

  Although the invention has been described in some detail with its most preferred embodiments, it is evident that a wide variety of embodiments can be constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not limited to that particular embodiment, except as limited in the claims.
