DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel carrier suitable for transporting an outer wall panel or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a panel carrier has been disclosed in
There is one as described in JP-A 1-248806. As shown in FIG. 4, the conventional panel transport trolley 1 includes a panel supporting portion 2 capable of supporting a plurality of panels P such that the panels P can be loaded / unloaded in a standing manner, and is provided in a loading / unloading direction of the panels P. The panel support section 2 is constituted by a free roller conveyor 3 having a rotating shaft 3A set in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the axis. Reference numeral 4 denotes a back free roller conveyor.

[0003] In the panel transport trolley 1, a panel P packed in several tens units is loaded on a free roller conveyor 3 and carried in at a panel receiving stage which is a starting point of the transport route. When carrying out the panels P one by one to the sorting case on the transport route of the panel transport vehicle 1, each panel P is carried out from the free roller conveyor 3.

[0004]

However, in the prior art, the free roller conveyor 3 is constituted so as to be one in the axial direction. For this reason, when a plurality of panels P are placed on the free roller conveyor 3 and only one of the panels P is to be carried out, the free roller conveyor 3 is pressed against the remaining panels P. Because it is not rotatable. Therefore, it is necessary for the operator to lift the panel P to be carried out from the conveyor 3 and carry it out, so that smooth carrying out cannot be performed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to enable a panel carrier to smoothly carry a large number of panels and to smoothly carry out only a desired panel among them.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a panel supporting portion capable of supporting a plurality of panels so that they can be loaded and unloaded in a standing manner, and rotated in a direction perpendicular to the loading / unloading direction of the panels. In a panel carrier having a panel supporting portion formed by a free roller conveyor having an axis set, the free roller conveyor is divided in its axial direction, and the divided free roller conveyors are rotatable independently of each other. It is made to become.

[0007]

When a large number of panels are carried in, the panels are placed on adjacent divided free roller conveyors, and can be smoothly carried in by free rotation of each divided free roller conveyor.

When unloading only a desired panel out of a large number of loaded panels, only the split free roller conveyor on which the panel to be unloaded is mounted is free (without being prevented from rotating by the remaining panels). It rotates and enables smooth carry-out. That is, the operator can lightly carry out the rolling conveyor without lifting the panel to be carried out from the conveyor.

1 is a schematic view showing a panel handling line to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing an example of a panel carrier of the present invention, and FIG. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example.

[0010] The panel transport vehicle 10 is allowed to travel on a rail 11 extending along the panel transport route, and a panel transport device 13 is connected to a panel receiving stage 12 which is a starting point of the panel transport route. Have been. Also,
A panel sorting case 14 is provided on the panel transport route.

Then, the panel loading device 1
After the panel P introduced into the panel 3 is carried into the panel carrier 10 in a package state of several tens of units, the panel 10 is
1 and carry out the panels P one by one to an arbitrary panel sorting case 14.

At this time, the panel transport trolley 10 has wheels 22 at the lower part of the trolley main body 21 and the trolley main body 2
1 is provided with a work deck 23 for the operator at the rear.

Further, the panel transport trolley 10 is provided with a panel supporting portion 24 on the upper portion of the trolley main body 21 for supporting the above-mentioned panel P in a packed state so that the panel P can be loaded and unloaded in a leaning manner. A panel back support 25 that can be supported is provided upright at the front of the bogie main body 21. Each of the panel support portion 24 and the panel back support portion 25 includes free roller conveyors 26 and 27 having rotating shafts 26A and 27A set in a direction orthogonal to the direction of loading / unloading of the panel P. I have.

At this time, the free roller conveyor 26 constituting the panel support 24 is divided in its axial direction, and the divided free roller conveyors 26 are rotatable independently of each other. The axial length of each of the divided free roller conveyors 26 is set substantially equal to or less than the thickness of one panel P.

The procedure for using the panel carrier 10 will be described below. (1) The panels P packed on the panel loading device 13 are introduced from the panel storage.

(2) The panel P in the packaged state is carried by the panel carrying device 13 into the panel carrier 10 waiting at the panel receiving stage 12.

(3) The panel P carried into the panel carrier 10 is unpacked by an operator.

(4) The operator moves the panel transport trolley 10 along the rail 11 according to the picking instruction list, and positions the trolley 10 in front of the predetermined panel sorting case 14.

(5) The operator carries out the panels P on the cart 10 one by one to a predetermined panel sorting case 14.

However, according to this embodiment, the following operations are provided. When a large number of panels P are carried in, the panels P are placed on each of the adjacent divided free roller conveyors 26, and can be smoothly carried in by free rotation of each divided free roller conveyor 26.

When unloading only a desired panel P out of a large number of loaded panels P, only the divided free roller conveyor 26 on which the panel P to be unloaded is mounted (rotation is prevented by the remaining panels P). Free rotation) to enable smooth unloading. That is,
The operator places the panel P to be carried out on the conveyor 2.
6 can be lightly carried out on the rolling conveyor 26 without being lifted from above.

As a mode of use of the panel transport trolley 10, the panel P carried into the panel support portion 14 may be carried out from the surface of the support portion 24 opposite to the surface into which the panel P is carried.

The panel carrier 10 may or may not have a traveling drive source.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a panel carrier, a large number of panels can be smoothly carried in, and only a desired panel among them can be smoothly carried out.
