Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention intervenes as a relay unit or the like in a conveyance path in various cylindrical article conveyance systems including a spool (coffin frame) for shoreline, and changes the vertical and horizontal directions of the cylindrical article received from one side. The present invention relates to a cylindrical article transfer device having a function of passing to the other side.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, a wire such as an electric wire conductor or wire obtained through wire drawing is wound around a spool at the end of the wire drawing line, and this wound actual spool is carried to a storage unit at a remote position, and the storage unit The empty spool taken out from is returned to the wire drawing portion. Thus, as a transport system for automatically transporting such actual spools and empty spools, the supply of actual spools from a number of wire drawing sections and the demand for empty spools are discontinuous and the time interval is constant. Therefore, using a transport device that travels and drives along a fixed path along the transfer path between the wire drawing unit and the storage unit, the transport device is operated between necessary parts to carry in, transport, and carry out the spool. The method of performing is generally adopted.
[0003]
Thus, when a cylindrical article such as the spool is to be conveyed, the cylindrical article is laterally (in the direction in which the axis is horizontal) along the gradient during delivery of the article between the carry-in / out section and the conveying device. Therefore, it is possible to adopt a method of rolling and transferring the cylindrical article itself via an inclined path for transferring the article between the discharge / injection unit and the conveying device, and a complicated transfer mechanism using a chuck or the like. There is an advantage that can be omitted.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, most cylindrical articles such as the above-mentioned spool are usually stored in a vertical orientation with the end surface as the mounting bottom surface in the rack of the storage unit from the viewpoint of mounting stability. Accordingly, when rolling in the horizontal direction is used for delivery of the cylindrical article in the carry-in / out section, the direction of the cylindrical article conveyed in the horizontal direction is changed to the vertical direction before storing in the rack of the storage section, and the rack It is necessary to change the vertical cylindrical article taken out from the side to the horizontal direction before reaching the carry-in / out section.
[0005]
However, providing a mechanism for converting the direction of the cylindrical article into a vertical and a horizontal direction in a transfer device that delivers a product to the rack while operating a transfer path between storage shelves in the storage unit is very difficult. Since the space is increased in size and the width of the conveyance path between the storage shelves is widened, the space efficiency of the storage unit is remarkably deteriorated, and the energy cost for operating the transfer device is increased. Therefore, a relay unit is set between the transport path of the transport device that delivers the cylindrical article by rolling with the carry-in / out section and the transport path of the transport device that operates between the storage shelves. In this case, a transfer device having a function of transferring the cylindrical article received from one of the two conveying devices to the other conveying device after changing the vertical and horizontal orientations is arranged. As a simple transfer device, a change in direction of a cylindrical article and delivery to both the transfer devices can be performed efficiently and reliably, and a simple configuration has not been realized.
[0006]
In view of the above-described circumstances, the present invention is a function of passing a cylindrical article received from one side of a conveyance path in a cylindrical article conveyance system to the other side after changing the vertical and horizontal directions of the cylindrical article received from one side. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transfer device having the above-mentioned structure, which can perform the above-mentioned direction change and delivery to others efficiently and reliably, and is very simple in structure.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, in the cylindrical article transfer device according to the first aspect of the present invention, the first and second receiving frames for receiving the cylindrical article on the turntable are separated by a horizontal pivot on the rear end side. A turning means is provided for supporting the holding frame and reversing each receiving frame by 90 degrees about the horizontal support shaft. The first and second receiving frames have a rectangular box shape. An opening that opens forward is formed at one central portion of the two side plate portion that is open on the front side facing outward and can be positioned on the bottom surface side by reversing 90 degrees, and the first receiving frame is the two side plate portion. An inclined path having a downward gradient is formed on the other inner surface side of the second side frame, and the second receiving frame has an inclined path having a downward gradient on the other inner surface side of the two-side plate portion and the received cylindrical article. And a movable stopper that displaces and displaces with respect to the peripheral surface. Have adopted the growth.
[0008]
According to the transfer device having the above-described configuration, for example, in a cylindrical article that has been carried in a lateral rolling posture by the transfer device on the carry-in / out portion side, the side plate portion with the inclined path is the bottom side of the first receiving frame. By setting the carry-in posture, the inclined road can be naturally rolled and received in the receiving frame while keeping the horizontal orientation. Then, if the receiving frame is inverted 90 degrees, a side plate portion having an opening portion is arranged on the bottom surface side, and the cylindrical article accommodated is vertically oriented. Directing the front side of the frame toward the intended carry-out direction, for example, a receiving part of a transfer means such as a running fork provided in the conveying device on the storage part side is entered from below the opening part, and the cylindrical article is It can be scooped up and transferred to the transfer device.
[0009]
On the other hand, for example, for a cylindrical article that has been conveyed in a vertical orientation by the transport device on the storage unit side, the second receiving frame is set to a carry-in posture in which the side plate portion with the opening is on the bottom surface side, By placing it on the receiving part of the same transfer means and keeping it in a slightly high position, it is allowed to enter the receiving frame, and the receiving part is lowered and separated from the opening, so that it is vertically oriented in the receiving frame. Will be housed. Next, after the movable stopper is brought into contact with the peripheral surface of the accommodated cylindrical article, the second receiving frame is inverted by 90 degrees so that the cylindrical article has a lateral rolling posture. It will be in the state which got on the slope of the side-plate part which came to the bottom face side. Thus, although this inclined road has a downward slope forward, the rolling of the cylindrical article is prevented by the contact of the stopper, so that the front side is moved, for example, to the loading / unloading portion side by the rotation of the turntable. The cylindrical article rolls on its own and is transferred to the conveying device by aligning with the carry-in port of the conveying device and then separating the stopper.
[0010]
According to the second invention, in the cylindrical article transfer device according to the first invention, the first receiving frame is carried into an inner corner between two side plates that can be positioned on the bottom surface side by reversing 90 degrees. Adopted a configuration provided with a taper guide part that slides in contact with the peripheral part of the cylindrical article stored when turning from the attitude to the carry-out attitude and induces and displaces the cylindrical article toward the center side of the side plate part having the opening. doing. Therefore, since the cylindrical article is in the horizontal direction by rolling and is in contact with the inner bottom of the box when it is accommodated in the receiving frame, it contacts the inner surface of the box even if it is turned 90 degrees and turned vertically. However, at the time of this turning, the peripheral edge rides on the taper guide part and is guided to the center side of the side plate part having the opening, and after turning, the center on the side plate part having the opening comes to the bottom side. Since it moves to the side and is in the state without the above-mentioned contact, it does not hinder the carry-out by the next scooping in the vertical direction. Of course, the amount of induced displacement described above can be set so that the center of the cylindrical article is exactly at the center of the width of the opening, so that instability due to the bias of the center of gravity during scooping can also be avoided.
[0011]
In the third aspect of the invention, in the cylindrical article transfer device of the first or second aspect of the invention, the turntable is provided on a traveling carriage that runs on a fixed track. What is necessary is just to connect the conveyance path of both conveyance apparatus of an entrance part side and a storage part side, and it is not necessary to bring both conveyance paths close in order to change the direction of cylindrical articles, for example, between storage shelves arranged in parallel on the storage part side If the trajectory is set across a plurality of folded portions of the transport path around the transfer path, transfer to the transport device on the storage unit side can be performed at a plurality of locations, and thus the transport device can be moved to the transfer position. Time can be shortened and transportation can be speeded up.
[0012]
In the fourth invention, in the cylindrical article transfer device according to any one of the first to third inventions, the cylindrical article is a spool on which a cap member can be attached to one end face, and the first and second receivers are provided. A shade removing / detaching means for vertically removing the shade member from the one side end face of the cylindrical article exposed in a rolling posture in which the side of the frame facing the side plate portion where the opening is formed is open and the open side is up. Adopts the structure provided in the mounting base frame of the turntable, so that when the spool that needs to be fitted with a cap member is to be transported in the storage state, the actual spool from the loading / unloading section is turned sideways. At the time of changing from vertical to vertical, the cap member can be easily attached for storage, and the cap member of the empty spool from the storage part can be removed and returned to the loading / unloading section as a sideways rolling posture. Form transport It does not need to be changed.
[0013]
