DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method in which articles are slid from the side of a conveyor and transferred onto the conveyor, and are suitable for collecting and transferring articles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method of collecting and transporting, for example, the collection and transport of packaging bags containing clothes and the like will be described below. As shown in FIG. 4, the containers have been transported by a sorting conveyor C having a large number of trays T which tilt sideways. The packaging bags A are tilted to the left or right at the sorting position, sorted and loaded on the support plate S prepared at the sorting position, and when a predetermined number of the loaded packaging bags A are stacked, the support plate is stacked. S is released and released to a sorting box B on a mounting table D located below the support plate.

[0003] A sorting box B containing a predetermined number of packaging bags A is loaded onto the collection and transport conveyor M from the right or left side of the collection and transport conveyor M located below the sorting conveyor C, and is collected at a collection location. Is to be carried out.
An empty box B for replenishment is prepared on the cart E.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the transport direction of the collection and transport conveyor M intersects with the loading direction of the sorting box B loaded from the placing table. Not only is the conveying posture on the collection / conveyance conveyor M disturbed in an oblique direction or a horizontal direction, but also the conveyance / transportation conveyor M is not transferred to a central position on the collection / conveyance conveyor M and may drop from a side edge of the collection / conveyance conveyor M during conveyance. In addition, when the sorting box B on the placing table D is loaded on the collection / conveyor M, the support plate S is located above the placing table D as shown in FIG. There was a problem that the work of charging the collection and conveyance conveyor M was hindered.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a transfer table having a transfer surface which protrudes and retracts from a transfer surface of a transfer conveyor and which intersects the transfer direction of the transfer conveyor. A pair of separated tilting fulcrum supports are provided, and a pair of tilting fulcrum support rods for supporting the respective tilting fulcrum supports detachably are provided, and a seesaw type swinging rod is arranged below the transfer table. And a transfer table lifting member for tilting the transfer table around one of the pair of tilt fulcrum pedestals at both ends of the swinging rod. The problem of the prior art is solved by connecting a pedal-shaped swinging movement rod to an end.

[0006]

The transfer table having a pair of tilting fulcrum supports supported by a pair of tilting fulcrum support rods is supported by immersing its transfer surface below the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor. When one end of the rod is rotated upward, the transfer table lifting member at the one end pushes up one end of the transfer table, and the tilting fulcrum support at the one end is moved upward. Is lifted up and away from the tilting fulcrum support rod at one end, and the other end of the fulcrum cradle is supported by the tilting fulcrum support rod at the other end. Is tilted about the tilt fulcrum support on the end side of. Also,
When the other end of the seesaw type swinging rod is turned upward,
The transfer table tilts in the opposite direction.

Therefore, by selectively tilting the transfer table to both sides to float the transfer surface of the transfer table above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor, articles such as sorting boxes or the like to be thrown in from the side can be placed on the table. By moving the table on the transfer table from above and removing the external swinging force from the seesaw-type swinging rod, the tilting fulcrum support that has floated on the transfer table returns to the position supported by the tilting fulcrum supporting rod, and the transfer is performed. The table is supported in a horizontal position, the transfer surface of the transfer table is immersed below the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor, and the articles on the transfer table are transferred onto the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor and are unloaded.

[0008]

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a conveyor 1 is a roller conveyor in which a roller 1A is driven to rotate at a fixed position as shown, or a narrow belt (not shown). A belt conveyor in which a plurality of conveyors are separately arranged in parallel may be used.

On the upper surface of the transfer table 2, a plurality of rotatable rollers or rolling members 2 such as balls which appear and disappear between rollers of the conveyor 1 or between narrow belt conveyors.
A transfer surface having A is formed, and the transfer direction of the rolling element 2A intersects the transfer direction of the transfer conveyor 1.

Further, a pair of saddle-shaped tilting fulcrum supports 2 are provided on the lower surface of the transfer table 2 so as to be separated from each other in the transfer direction.
A pair of tilting fulcrum support rods 3, 3 for supporting B, 2B are erected on a base or floor F, and their tips 3A, 3A are supported in saddle-shaped recesses of the saddle-shaped tilting fulcrum pedestals 2B, 2B. However, the tips 3A, 3A may be in the form of saddles facing upward, and the tilt support points 2B, 2B may be in the form of downward projecting rods.

A seesaw type swinging rod 5 extends in the transfer direction and is supported by a horizontal shaft 4A so as to be swingable, on a supporting rod 4 standing upright on the base or the floor surface F. 5, push-up rods 5 </ b> A of the transfer table 2 are respectively provided upright.

In order to support the swinging rod 5 in a horizontal position, a pair of supporting elastic members 6 and 6 such as a coil spring or a rubber column having the same length are erected on the base or the floor surface F. Have been. At both ends of the seesaw type swinging rod 5, pedal-shaped swinging operating rods 7, 7 are provided.
Are respectively connected, and an intermediate position of the operating rods 7, 7 is rotatably supported by pedestals 8, 8 erected on a base or a floor surface F.

Therefore, when one of the free ends of the pedal-shaped swinging operation rods 7 and 7 is depressed downward, the seesaw-type swinging rod 5 swings, and the transfer table 2 is tilted.

That is, in FIG. 2, when the right pedal-shaped swinging rod 7 is stepped down, the right end of the seesaw-shaped swinging rod 5 is lifted up as shown by a chain line, and the right transfer table lifting rod 5A is moved. Place the mounting table 2 on the left tilting fulcrum support 2B
, The transfer table 2 is tilted upward and the rolling element 2 </ b> A on the transfer surface floats above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor 1.

Therefore, the article A on the table D on the right side is pushed to the left and the rolling element 2A at the floating position of the transfer table 2 is moved.
Transfer to the top. At this time, since the rolling elements 2A protrude from the transport surface of the transport conveyor 1, there is no interference in the transport direction of the transport conveyor, and the posture of the article A on the transfer table 2 is normally maintained.

Moreover, the transfer of the articles A from the mounting table D onto the transfer table 2 can be performed smoothly by the large number of rolling elements 2A on the transfer table 2. When the article A is transferred onto the transfer table 2, when the external force that is stepping down on the pedal-shaped swinging operation rod 7, for example, the stepping force of the worker's foot is removed, the transfer table 2 is pushed up. Then, the right tilting fulcrum support 2B is supported by the tip 3A of the right tilting fulcrum support rod and returns to the horizontal posture, and the rolling element 2 of the transfer table 2 which has floated above the transport surface of the transport conveyor 1 is lowered.
Since A is immersed, the article A on the transfer table 2 is transferred to the transport conveyor 1 and carried out.

When the article A on the left table D is to be transferred onto the transfer table 2, the tip of the left pedal-shaped swinging operation rod 7 is stepped down and pushed down. Since the left end is lifted and the left transfer table lifting rod 5A lifts the left side of the transfer table 2, the transfer table 2 is tilted upward to the left about the right tilt fulcrum support table 2B to move upward on the transfer table. Since the rolling element 2A is floated above the transport surface of the transport conveyor 1, articles can be loaded and transferred onto the transport conveyor 1 from the left side.

[0018]

According to the present invention, since the lower surface of the transfer table is detachably supported by a pair of tilting fulcrum support rods and a tilting fulcrum receiving stand which are spaced apart from each other in the transfer direction, any one of the right and left sides of the transport conveyor can be used. The transfer table can be tilted to the side, and since the fulcrum serving as the tilt center is shifted by tilting the transfer table to the left or right, even if one end of the transfer table is pushed up, the other end is not pushed down. Due to the tilt of the loading table, the transfer surface of the transfer table floating above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor is increased, so that stable transfer and transfer of the articles can be realized, and the transfer of the articles can be selectively performed from both sides of the transfer conveyor. It is possible to load the goods, and to transfer and carry out the goods in a correct posture, and further, by connecting a seesaw-type swinging rod to a pedal-type swinging operating rod, the article-mounting table D can be moved upward. Figure 1 Even if there is an obstacle as shown, it is possible to load and transfer the goods from the side of the conveyor by stepping on the foot, and furthermore, the rolling element on the transfer table pushes the goods to the transfer table. It has excellent effects such as extremely easy transfer.
