DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for sorting conveyed articles used for sorting bookbindings conveyed by a belt conveyor in a bookbinding workplace, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional apparatus for sorting conveyed articles such as bookbinding conveyed by a belt conveyor by type,
For example, when a conveyed object flowing on the belt reaches the sorting table, the sorting table is rotated up and down or left and right,
The structure of sorting the belt conveyors prepared for each type makes it difficult to calculate the pitch of the conveyed products.
There was dissatisfaction that sorting took time.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above situation, according to the present invention, in order to sort a conveyed object flowing on an inclined conveying path, the conveyed object to be distributed downward is directly moved downward on the inclined conveying path. In addition, the conveyed material to be sorted upward is such that the sorting pieces provided with pulleys at both ends are projected in an intersecting manner on the inclined conveying path, and are conveyed upward on the rotating belt applied to the pulleys of the sorting pieces. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for sorting conveyed articles, which can easily and reliably perform conveyed article sorting without calculating the pitch of complicated conveyed articles.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a transport sorting apparatus according to the present invention is provided so as to face a fixed cam having an inclined upper side and a fixed cam therebetween. A pair of rotating polygons, one end is pivotally connected to a shaft connecting the opposite tops of the two rotating polygons, and a sorting piece provided with pulleys at both ends, and a shaft connecting the facing sorting pieces. The fixed cam includes a roller capable of rolling on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam, and an endless belt hung on each pulley.Therefore, the rotating polygon is rotated by the motor, and the roller rotates upward on the inclined upper side of the fixed cam. When the roller moves, the sorting piece corresponding to the roller passes through the gap of the transport path and can protrude in an intersecting manner on the inclined transport path, and when the roller descends from the upper slope of the fixed cam, the roller contacts the roller. Sorting pieces response also is obtained so as to descend.

[0005]

According to the conveyer sorting device of the present invention,
When sorting the conveyed objects upward, the rotating polygon is rotated, and one set of the distributing pieces is moved upward on the inclined upper side of the fixed cam. After passing through the section and projecting crosswise on the inclined conveyance path, the conveyed object is conveyed upward via the rotary belt of the sorting piece. In order to sort the conveyed material downward, the rotating polygon is rotated, and the distributing piece is lowered from the upper slope of the fixed cam. And is conveyed downward. Therefore, the distribution of the conveyed objects can be performed simply and reliably continuously without calculating the pitch of the complicated conveyed objects.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. In the figure, 1 is a fixed cam having an inclined upper side 1a, 2 is a pair of rotating triangular bodies arranged opposite to each other with the fixed cam 1 interposed therebetween, and 3 is a connecting top of the two rotating triangular bodies 2 facing each other. And a pulley 5 provided at both ends thereof. A distributing piece 6 is attached to a shaft 7 for connecting the distributing pieces 3 facing each other, and rolls the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam 1. A movable roller, 8 is an endless belt hung on each pulley 5, 9 is disposed above, and a gap is provided.
Reference numeral 10 denotes an inclined conveying path provided at two places, and reference numeral 11 denotes an upper conveying conveyor. Therefore, the rotating triangle 2 is connected to the motor 12
When the roller 6 rotates, the roller 6 rolls on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam 1. For example, when sorting the conveyed articles 13 upward, one set of the sorting pieces 3 is moved upward on the inclined upper side of the fixed cam 1. When the sorting piece 3 is moved to the inclined conveying path 9, the sorting piece 3 passes through the gap 10 provided in the inclined conveying path 9 and protrudes crosswise onto the inclined conveying path 9. Is conveyed to the upper conveyor 11 via movement on the rotating belt. In order to sort the conveyed object 12 downward, the rotating triangular body 2 may be rotated, and the sorting piece 3 may be lowered from the upper slope of the fixed cam 1. In the drawing, 14 is a motor for rotating the endless belt 8, 15 is a spring for preventing the sorting piece 3 from jumping out, and 16 is a column. In addition, a sensor for identifying the type of a conveyed object flowing on the inclined conveyance path 9 is provided, and a motor is electrically controlled by a signal from the sensor,
The rotating triangular body 2 is rotated according to the type of the transported object. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the triangular body is used.
Of course, other polygons may be used.

[0005]

As described above, according to the apparatus for sorting conveyed articles according to the present invention, when sorting conveyed articles flowing on the inclined conveying path, the conveyed articles to be sorted upward are placed on the inclined conveying path. Protrude the sorting piece in a cross shape,
In addition, the conveyed material to be distributed downward is configured to lower the sorting piece from the inclined conveyance path, so that the distribution of the conveyed material is performed without complicated pitch calculation of the conveyed material.
A remarkable effect can be obtained in that the operation can be performed easily and reliably continuously, and labor and speed of the processing operation can be reduced.

Claims (1)

(57) [Claims] 1. A fixed cam having an inclined upper side, and a pair of rotating polygons disposed to face each other with the fixed cam therebetween.
One end is pivotally attached to a shaft connecting the opposing tops of the two rotating polygons, and a sorting piece provided with pulleys at both ends, and a shaft connecting the facing sorting pieces, are attached to the shaft, and the outer periphery of the fixed cam. It has a roller that can roll on its surface and an endless belt that is hung on each pulley.Thus, when the rotating polygon is rotated by the motor and the roller rolls up the inclined upper side of the fixed cam, the roller The corresponding distributing piece passes through the gap of the transport path and can protrude crosswise on the inclined transport path, and when the roller descends from the upper slope of the fixed cam, the distributing piece corresponding to the roller also A conveyer sorting device characterized by being lowered.
