DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a conveyor bracket which is fixed to a conveyor frame of a conveyor and to which guides, sensors and the like can be attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A guide for adjusting the posture of an article is provided on the side of an article conveying path of a conveyor such as a roller conveyor.
A sensor for detecting passage of an article, a bar code reader for reading a bar code provided on a side surface of the article, and the like are attached. These guides and sensors are mounted on a conveyor bracket fixed to a conveyor frame provided on both sides of the conveyor. A plurality of mounting grooves are formed along the longitudinal direction on the side surface of the conveyor frame so that the bracket can be fixed at an arbitrary position.

[0003]

[0006] Such a conveyor bracket is fixed to two or more of the plurality of mounting grooves of the conveyor frame by being mounted at one or more locations. Normally, mounting is performed using bolts and nuts, but there is a possibility that the bracket may rotate or shift in the left-right direction during the bolting operation. In the case of tightening bolts at multiple locations, it takes time and effort to fix the bracket, and while tightening the bolts, the bolts that have already been tightened may be loosened, displaced, or come off due to impact. There was a probability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a conveyor bracket which can be fixed easily and in a short time, does not rotate or shift during the operation, and can be fixed accurately and robustly. It is in.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a conveyor bracket including a conveyor frame having a plurality of mounting grooves formed on a side surface along a longitudinal direction. Plate shape for one mounting groove
One attachment means that can attach the bracket body of
At a position separated from the position where the mounting means is provided by substantially the same distance as the distance between the one mounting groove and the other mounting groove ,
Near the lower end of the bracket body to the side of the bracket body
And a locking means which is formed by bending the mounting bracket into another mounting groove.

[0006]

[0007]

[0008]

The present invention has the above-described structure, and has the following effects.

In the conveyor bracket according to the first aspect of the present invention, the one mounting means and the locking means are arranged at a distance substantially equal to the distance between one mounting groove and another mounting groove. The bracket is fixed by attaching the bracket body to one mounting groove by the mounting means while the locking means is locked in the other mounting groove.
You. The locking means closes the lower end of the plate-shaped bracket body.
The racket body is formed by bending in the side direction.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiment shown in the drawings will be described below.

FIGS. 1 to 4 are an exploded view, a plan view, a front view and an IV-IV view of FIG. 3, respectively, showing an embodiment of the conveyor bracket according to the present invention.

In each of the drawings, a plate-like bracket body 1 is shown.
Are fixed to a frame 2 constituting the side surface of the conveyor. Frames 2 are provided on both sides of the conveyor,
In the meantime, a plurality of rollers 3 are supported. Roller 3
The article W is conveyed above.

The frame 2 is provided with two upper and lower mounting grooves 21 and 22 along the longitudinal direction of the frame 2. The mounting grooves 21 and 22 are each substantially C-shaped in cross section,
Bolts and plate-like objects are fitted and fitted into the grooves.

The upper end of the bracket main body 1 is bent toward the side of the bracket main body 1 near the upper end to form an instrument mounting portion 11. A hole 111 is provided in the fixture 11.
Are drilled.

The lower end of the bracket main body 1 is bent near the lower end in the side direction of the bracket main body 1 and in the same direction as the instrument mounting portion 11 to form a locking portion 12. The length of the locking portion 12 is substantially the same as the depth of the mounting groove 22 from the surface of the side surface of the frame 2.

A hole 13 is formed in the middle of the bracket body 1. The distance between the hole 13 and the locking portion 12 is 2
The distance between the two mounting grooves 21 and 22 is substantially the same. Hole 1
3, a bolt 41 can be inserted and screwed with a nut 42 fitted in the mounting groove 21.

The instrument mounting portion 11 has two half-pieces 51,
The guide pipe 6 is pinched and attached by 52. The guide pipe 6 is used to move the article W conveyed on the roller 3.
Guide the direction of travel and correct the posture. Half body 51,5
2 is formed by screwing the bolt 53 and the nut 54 through the hole 111 with the instrument mounting portion 11 interposed therebetween.
The guide pipe 6 is clamped while being attached to the instrument attachment portion 11.

When fixing the bracket body 1 to the frame 2, first, the nut 42 is fitted into an appropriate position of the mounting groove 21. The bracket body 1 is positioned so that the hole 13 overlaps the nut 42 while the locking portion 12 is locked in the mounting groove 22, and the bolt 41 is screwed into the nut 42, thereby connecting the bracket body 1 to the frame. 2 can be fixed. Then, the guide pipe 6 is attached.

As described above, in the conveyor bracket according to the present embodiment, the bolt 41 is screwed in a state in which the locking portion 12 is locked in the mounting groove 22.
It is possible to prevent the bracket main body 1 from rotating and being displaced with the screwing operation. Also, one bolt 4
By simply tightening the bracket 1, the bracket body 1 is fixed in cooperation with the locking portion 12, so that the work time and labor can be saved.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately modified and implemented within the scope of the present invention.

[0023]

As described above, according to the bracket for a conveyor according to the first aspect of the present invention, the bracket main body is connected to one groove by the mounting means while the locking means is locked in the other mounting groove. By mounting the bracket, the bracket body is fixed, so the bracket body does not shift or rotate during the mounting work of the mounting means, it can be fixed at the correct position, and it is fixed by one mounting work As a result, work time and labor can be saved. The locking means is near the lower end of the plate-shaped bracket body.
Bend in the direction of the side of the bracket body,
It can be easily configured.
