Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bucket conveyor, and more particularly, to a bucket conveyor in which chain conveyors are arranged vertically. 2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 12 shows a conventional bucket conveyor in which buckets are mounted between a pair of chains and horizontal and vertical conveyance is circulated by the chains. [0003] In this transfer apparatus 1, gear units 4, 5, 6, and 7 are supported in a rectangular gantry 3 constituted by angles 2. The rotational force of a motor (not shown) is transmitted to a pulley 8 provided on the gear device 4 via a belt, and a driving force is transmitted to the conveying means 9 via the gear device 4. [0005] As shown in FIG. 13, the conveying means 9 is composed of a pair of two-chain chains 10 and 11.
A pair of shaft locking portions 12, 12, 13 and 13 are formed at predetermined intervals in the thread chains 10 and 11. On the inner side of these two-chain chains 10, 11, plates 14, 15 are respectively arranged adjacent to the chains. [0005] On the other hand, the bucket 16 has an opening on one side and a substantially trapezoidal cross section, and both ends of both side walls 16a and 16b arranged in parallel with the two-strand chains 10 and 11 are provided with shaft mounting members. Bosses 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d are formed. The bucket 16 having such a boss is formed.
12 and 13, the long shaft 18 is inserted into the bosses 17b and 17d on the front side in the transport direction A indicated by the arrows in FIGS.
Both ends of the long shaft 18 are inserted into the two-chain chains 10 and 11 and are locked by the shaft locking portions 12 and 13, respectively. On the other hand, the bosses 17a, 17
A short shaft 19 is inserted through c, and both ends of the short shaft 19 are locked to the plates 14 and 15. As described above, the bucket 16 has two shafts 1
8 and 19 are inserted and set on the gantry 3 continuously at predetermined intervals. A series of buckets 16 set on the gantry 3
Therefore, when the articles are conveyed, the articles are sequentially put into the horizontal bucket 16 from a position above the gantry 3. Then, the plate 14, where the goods are to be accumulated,
By arranging the ends 14a, 15a of the plate 15, the short axis 19 of the bucket 16 passing therethrough is
5, the bucket 16 is rotated about the other long axis 18 as a fulcrum, and the article is dropped downward. [0008] By the way, in such a conveyor device using a bucket conveyor, the bucket 1 that has become empty after the end of the conveyance.
6 is then suspended and travels on the lower transfer path section of the gantry 3 with one long axis, and is further vertically moved and transferred to the plates 14 and 15 by appropriate means near the end of the upward movement. Short axis 1
9 is reset and again supported by the two shafts 18,19. Therefore, in the conventional bucket conveyor, the posture in which the bucket 16 moves vertically is a suspension posture in which the opening is directed in the horizontal direction, and therefore, it is impossible to put articles into the bucket in this posture. Therefore, in the transfer device using the conventional bucket conveyor, the loading position of the article is limited to the horizontal transfer path portion, so that the work space and the like are limited. Further, in the above-described transport device, since the short shaft 19 slides on the plates 14 and 15, a lubricating means for the sliding portion is required, and the device is complicated. Further, if the hydraulic oil used in the lubricating means adheres to the inside of the bucket, there is a problem that the commercial value of the conveyed articles is impaired. In the case where the bucket conveyor is configured as a multiple type, sliding means, resetting means and lubricating means by the plates 14 and 15 must be installed on the gantry 3 in accordance with the number of the multiple sets. The structure was complicated, and it was difficult to increase the processing capacity. In order to allow articles to be put into the bucket 16 from the vertical transfer path, for example, the bucket is supported by a single shaft at an intermediate position in the width direction, and the bucket is rotated carelessly. It is conceivable to use a bucket which is formed longer in the vertical direction than in the width direction in consideration of stability against rotation of the center of gravity. However, in this case, there is a problem that the bucket becomes large. When the size of the bucket increases, there is a problem that the function of discharging articles from the bucket also increases in size. [0011] On the other hand, there is also known a conveying device for conveying an article such as food by an endless belt. The transport device 100 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15
In this, two endless belts 103 and 104 circulated and driven by a motor 102 are disposed in a storage unit 101 for storing a large amount of food such as marine products, and the marine products and the like are continuously distributed on the conveying surface of these endless belts. It is locked by the provided transfer plates 105 having a V-shaped cross section and rises obliquely. The seafood and the like conveyed to the upper position by the endless belts 103 and 104 are supplied to the endless belts 122 and 123 circulating in the horizontal direction at the upper position. Below the endless belts 122 and 123, weighing machines 124 and 125 are provided, and when the articles are conveyed by these endless belts 122 and 123, the weights are weighed respectively. The result of the weighing is stored in the control unit 106, and the weighed item is supplied to the downstream endless belt 107 which is wider and circulates in the horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 15, a plurality of sets of wiper means 108a, 108
are provided, for example, the wiper means 108a and 108b are rotatably provided at predetermined angles via fulcrums 110a and 110b in response to a command from the control unit 106 . . On the other hand, these wiper means 108a,
8b, 109a, 109b,..., A chute 1 for receiving the goods shaken off by the respective wiper means.
20 are arranged correspondingly, and below the container 121
Etc. are set. In the transport device 100, when the motor 102 is driven, the marine products and the like in the storage unit 101 are transferred to the endless belt 10
3 and 104, are transported upward in two rows while being locked to the transport plates 105, 105, weighed at upper horizontal positions, and then transferred onto the endless belt 107. When traveling on the endless belt 107, the article is shaken to the side by the action of any one of the wiper means that operates according to the weighed result, and is stored in the lower container 121 or the like through the chute 120. Is done. Thereby, the storage unit 10
Items such as marine products stored in 1 are sorted and sorted to a weight within a predetermined range. It should be noted that the operation of a pair of left and right wiper means, for example, wiper means 108a, 108b,
Set to shake off the items of the weighed result within the same range,
In addition, if the chutes corresponding to these are merged, articles in the same range can be accommodated in one container. By the way, when articles are conveyed by the endless belt as described above, the articles are dropped to the right and left by the wiper means, so that the number of conveying paths cannot be increased beyond two and the processing capacity cannot be increased. Has limitations. In addition, in a portion for picking up an item from the storage unit 101, the transport plate 10 is used.
There is a case where a plurality of articles are locked to 5, 105. In order to accurately weigh individual articles, the transport plate 105 is required.
Must be dropped manually by hand. Therefore, the number of hands required when a large number of the transfer devices 100 are installed is enormous. In addition, the transfer device 10
In the case of 0, the rounded article cannot be transported because it easily rolls. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and even if the bucket conveyor is arranged vertically, the supply position of articles is not limited, and therefore, the work space It is not necessary to provide complicated resetting means before moving to the horizontal transfer path, and it does not impair the commercial value due to adhesion of lubricating oil etc. To increase the processing capacity of

The product can be stably transferred without any trouble. In addition,
In the embodiment, the scallop and the like thrown into the bucket 35 are:
The weights are sorted into eight groups, and to which group the scallops belong belongs is input to the controller after the weight is weighed. The weighed scallops and the like are sorted by weight by the transport device 20 and stored in groups in a lower container. The sorting operation will be described below. The group by weight corresponds to one of the electromagnetic solenoids. After the shells and the like are accommodated in the bucket, the travel distance of the double chain 33 until reaching the corresponding electromagnetic solenoid is calculated by a pulse encoder or the like, and after a predetermined time, the corresponding electromagnetic solenoid 64 is excited for a predetermined time. It has become. When the electromagnetic solenoid 64 is excited, the actuator 65 and the engaging member 66 in FIG. 10 are in the illustrated state, and the rod portion 71 is disposed in front of the guide piece 37 of the desired bucket 35 to pass immediately below. Is done. Therefore, the bucket 35 travels with the guide piece 37 abutting on the rod portion 71 of the engaging member 66, so that the bucket 35 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 51 in FIG. The scallops of the scallops that have been dropped fall to an appropriate position of the collecting chute 76 below and are stored in a container or the like. Thereafter, similarly, in the subsequent bucket, a predetermined electromagnetic solenoid is excited, and the scallop passes through the chute and is housed in a container or the like by weight. Therefore, the scallops of the scallops are sorted by weight within a predetermined range and stored in a container or the like. When the bucket 35 completes the transfer of the contents, the front wall 35c and the rear wall 35d return to the upward inclination by their own weights, and the vertical transfer path from the remaining horizontal transfer path to the lower part. , Traveling on the lower horizontal transfer path, again
The posture is held by the guide piece 37, and the guide piece 37 is transferred on the vertical transfer path between the gear device 26 and the gear device 23. The transport device provided with the bucket conveyor according to the embodiment of the present invention performs the above-described operations, but has the following effects. In other words, when transporting seafood, etc., regular cleaning is performed for sanitation,
Since the electric electromagnetic solenoid 64 is located at a position above the device, it is easy to clean it with water or the like. Further, the processing capacity can be set freely according to the rotational force of the motor 27, the number of arranged bucket conveyors, and the like. The transport device having the bucket according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention. It is. In the above embodiment, the front wall 35c and the rear wall 35d of the bucket 35 are formed in a flat plate shape. However, as in the bucket 77 shown in FIG. A plurality of continuous slits 80 may be formed over the rear wall portion 77d. By providing the slit 80 in this way, it is possible to remove moisture or the like adhering to the articles to be stored from the bottom during the transporting movement, and also to move articles such as tarako which easily adhere to the inner wall of the bucket 35 downward. Easy to drop. Further, instead of the slit, a simple hole may be used. In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a marine product transport apparatus. However, the present invention can be applied to other products, for example, agricultural products such as chestnuts. In the above embodiment, four bucket conveyors are provided as shown in FIG. 2. However, the number of bucket conveyors can be further increased, and the number of electromagnetic solenoids and chutes can be appropriately changed. . In the above embodiment, the guide piece 37 extending substantially vertically and the L-shaped chain attachment piece 38 are attached to the bucket 35. However, both guide pieces 37 extend substantially vertically. 37, 37 may be used. In this case, it is necessary to provide two vertical guide members 55 for one bucket in the vertical transfer path, but the bucket 35 can be held more stably at the time of loading the articles. When the two guide pieces 37 are used, it is not necessary to form a new hole in the bucket 35, and the bucket 35 is attached by using the holes 36a, 36b, and 36c. As described above, according to the bucket conveyor of the present invention , the guide is provided in the vertical transfer path.
