Description

本発明は、複数の位置決め部材で容器を位置決めして支持する容器キャリアに係り、特に、異なるサイズの容器に兼用可能な容器キャリアに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a container carrier that positions and supports a container with a plurality of positioning members, and particularly relates to a container carrier that can be used for containers of different sizes.

異なるサイズの物品に兼用できるように、位置決め部材の位置を変更して物品を保持できるようにしたキャリアは従来から知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。特許文献1に記載された円形物体の保持装置は、容器に関するものではないが、各種サイズの物品を支持して、この物品の処理を行うものであり同様の機能を果たす。   2. Description of the Related Art A carrier that can hold an article by changing the position of a positioning member so that it can also be used for an article of a different size has been conventionally known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Although the circular object holding device described in Patent Document 1 is not related to a container, it supports articles of various sizes and processes the articles, and performs the same function.

特許文献1に記載された発明は以下のように構成されている。すなわち、装置本体21の上面に、一端部がピン23により軸支された4個の揺動体22が配置され、その上方に、円盤状の回動体24が中心軸25により回動自在に軸支されている。前記4個の揺動体22の他端にそれぞれ挟持ピン26が固定され、これら挟持ピン26が、前記回動体24に設けた4個の長孔部27を貫通して回動体24の上方に突出している。回動体24の側面には、この回動体24を回動させるための操作つまみ28を設けている。さらに、前記回動体24の上方に突出した4個の挟持ピン26には、それぞれ切り欠き部31を設け、この切り欠き部31に伸縮ばね32が係止されるように、4個の挟持ピン26の外周に巻回している。この伸縮ばね32は、常時、4個の挟持ピン26により構成される物品(この発明ではコンデンサ)の嵌合部Aの径を小さくする方向に付勢している。   The invention described in Patent Document 1 is configured as follows. That is, four oscillating bodies 22 whose one ends are pivotally supported by pins 23 are arranged on the upper surface of the apparatus main body 21, and a disk-like rotating body 24 is pivotally supported by the central shaft 25 so as to be freely rotatable. Has been. Holding pins 26 are respectively fixed to the other ends of the four oscillating bodies 22, and the holding pins 26 pass through the four long hole portions 27 provided in the rotating body 24 and protrude above the rotating body 24. ing. An operation knob 28 for rotating the rotating body 24 is provided on the side surface of the rotating body 24. Further, the four clamping pins 26 protruding above the rotating body 24 are each provided with a notch 31, and the four clamping pins so that the extension spring 32 is locked to the notch 31. 26 is wound around the outer periphery. The expansion spring 32 is always biased in a direction to reduce the diameter of the fitting portion A of an article (a capacitor in the present invention) constituted by the four clamping pins 26.

前記円形物体の保持装置(本発明のキャリアに相当する)に物品を保持させる場合には、操作つまみ28を持って回動体24を回動させると、4個の挟持ピン26が伸縮ばね32のばね力に抗して4個の長孔部27内を相対的に移動し、4個の挟持ピン26で構成される物品の嵌合部Aが大きくなる。この嵌合部A内に物品を挿入すると、伸縮ばね32のばね力によって、4個の挟持ピン26が物品の外面に当接するまで戻る。このように嵌合部Aのサイズを、長孔部27の範囲内で自由に変化させることができるので、外形が異なる物品を一つの保持装置で保持することができる。
特許第2748545号公報(第2−3頁、図3)
When holding the article by the circular object holding device (corresponding to the carrier of the present invention), when the rotating body 24 is rotated by holding the operation knob 28, the four pinching pins 26 are formed by the expansion spring 32. The fitting portion A of the article composed of the four clamping pins 26 is enlarged by relatively moving in the four long hole portions 27 against the spring force. When the article is inserted into the fitting portion A, the four clamping pins 26 return to contact with the outer surface of the article by the spring force of the expansion and contraction spring 32. Thus, since the size of the fitting part A can be freely changed within the range of the long hole part 27, articles having different outer shapes can be held by one holding device.
Japanese Patent No. 2748545 (page 2-3, FIG. 3)

前記従来の円形物品の保持装置(キャリア)では、物品の位置決めを行う挟持ピン26を移動して、4本の挟持ピンで囲む空間のサイズを変更することができるが、移動させた挟持ピンをロックする機構がなく、伸縮ばね32によって4本の挟持ピン26が常時接近する方向に付勢されている。そのため、物品を保持させ、または取り出す際には、操作つまみ28によって、一旦4本の挟持ピン26を離隔させなければならず、操作が煩雑である。また、保持している物品を挟持ピン26で四方から押圧しているので、物品を傷つけるおそれがある等の問題があった。   In the conventional circular article holding device (carrier), the holding pin 26 for positioning the article can be moved to change the size of the space surrounded by the four holding pins. There is no mechanism for locking, and the four clamping pins 26 are urged by the telescopic spring 32 in a direction in which they are always approaching. Therefore, when holding or taking out the article, the four clamping pins 26 must be once separated by the operation knob 28, and the operation is complicated. Moreover, since the holding | maintenance goods are pressed from the four directions with the pinching pin 26, there existed problems, such as a possibility of damaging goods.

本発明は、容器を複数の位置決め部材で位置決めして支持する容器キャリアにおいて、前記位置決め部材の半径方向への進退動を案内するガイド部が形成されたガイド部材と、このガイド部材の下面側に回転可能に配置され、前記位置決め部材に係合してこの位置決め部材をガイド部に沿って移動させるカムが形成されたカム部材とを備え、前記ガイド部材には、カム部材と回転方向に連結する連結手段を収容する収容孔が下方に向けて開口され、カム部材には、前記連結手段を挿入可能であり、かつ、連結手段の上下寸法よりも浅い挿入孔が、同一円周上に複数配置されて上方に向けて開口され、さらに、前記連結手段と磁力により引き付け合う磁性部材を備えて、前記磁性部材により連結手段を引き上げ、挿入孔から抜き出して収容孔内に位置させた状態で、ガイド部材とカム部材とを相対回転させることにより位置決め部材を移動させた後、磁性部材の磁力作用を解除して、連結手段をいずれかの挿入孔に挿入することにより、ガイド部材とカム部材とを回転方向に連結することを特徴とするものである。   The present invention provides a container carrier for positioning and supporting a container with a plurality of positioning members, a guide member formed with a guide portion for guiding the positioning member in the radial direction, and a lower surface side of the guide member. And a cam member formed with a cam that engages with the positioning member and moves the positioning member along the guide portion. The cam member is connected to the cam member in the rotation direction. A receiving hole for receiving the connecting means is opened downward, and the cam member can be inserted with the connecting means, and a plurality of insertion holes shallower than the vertical dimension of the connecting means are arranged on the same circumference. A magnetic member that is attracted to the connecting means by a magnetic force, and is pulled up from the insertion hole by the magnetic member, and is extracted from the insertion hole. After the positioning member is moved by relatively rotating the guide member and the cam member in the positioned state, the magnetic force action of the magnetic member is released, and the connecting means is inserted into one of the insertion holes, The guide member and the cam member are connected in the rotation direction.

本発明の容器キャリアは、位置決め部材を所定の位置に移動させて、その位置でロックすることができるので、容器の挿入取り出しの際にも、煩雑な操作が必要なく、また、容器の外面を圧迫して傷つけてしまう恐れもない。   The container carrier of the present invention can move the positioning member to a predetermined position and can be locked at that position. Therefore, no complicated operation is required when inserting and removing the container, and the outer surface of the container is removed. There is no fear of being hurt by pressure.

ガイド部材に形成されたガイド部に沿って位置決め部材が進退動可能であり、ガイド部材の下面側に相対回転可能に配置されたカム部材のカムに位置決め部材が係合し、ガイド部材とカム部材との相対回転によって、位置決め部材が前記ガイド部に沿って移動されるようになっており、ガイド部材には連結手段を収容する収容孔が、一方、カム部材には連結手段の上下寸法よりも浅い挿入孔が複数形成されていて、通常は、連結部材がカム部材の挿入孔の一つとガイド部材の収容孔の両者に挿通されて、ガイド部材とカム部材との相対回転を規制し、磁性部材によって連結手段を引き上げると、連結手段はカム部材の挿入孔から抜け出してガイド部材の収容孔内に入り、ガイド部材とカム部材との相対回転が可能になる、という構成により、位置決め部材の位置を変更した後、ガイド部材とカム部材との相対回転を規制することにより、位置決め部材の位置をロックするという目的を達成することができる。   The positioning member can be moved back and forth along the guide portion formed on the guide member, and the positioning member engages with the cam of the cam member disposed on the lower surface side of the guide member so as to be relatively rotatable. Relative to the guide member, the positioning member is moved along the guide portion. The guide member has a receiving hole for receiving the connecting means, while the cam member has a housing hole larger than the vertical dimension of the connecting means. A plurality of shallow insertion holes are formed. Usually, the connecting member is inserted into one of the insertion holes of the cam member and the accommodation hole of the guide member to restrict relative rotation between the guide member and the cam member, When the connecting means is pulled up by the member, the connecting means comes out of the insertion hole of the cam member, enters the accommodation hole of the guide member, and allows the relative rotation between the guide member and the cam member. After changing the position of the-decided Me member, by restricting the relative rotation between the guide member and the cam member, it is possible to achieve the object of locking the position of the positioning member.

以下、図面に示す実施例により本発明を説明する。図1は本発明の一実施例に係る容器キャリア2の平面図、図2はその容器キャリア2の縦断面図、図3は前記容器キャリア2を異なるサイズの容器4(後に説明する図6参照)に適用する際に調整を行うためのカム部材6の平面図である。容器キャリア2は、その上部に配置され、容器4を位置決めして支持する容器支持部材(ガイド部材)8と、この容器支持部材8の下方に相対回転可能に配置され、容器キャリア2の使用時には前記容器支持部材8と連結されるカム部材6と、前記容器支持部材8およびカム部材6を回転自在に支持するベース部材10とを備えている。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. 1 is a plan view of a container carrier 2 according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the container carrier 2, and FIG. 3 is a container 4 of a different size (see FIG. 6 described later). It is a top view of the cam member 6 for performing adjustment when applying to (1). The container carrier 2 is disposed at the upper portion thereof, and is disposed so as to be rotatable relative to a container support member (guide member) 8 that positions and supports the container 4. The container carrier 2 is used when the container carrier 2 is used. A cam member 6 connected to the container support member 8 and a base member 10 that rotatably supports the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 are provided.

前記容器支持部材8およびカム部材6は外周面が円形をしている。また、下方のベース部材10の外面は、四隅10aが円形に面取りされた正方形をしている。容器支持部材8には、その中心方向へ向かう4本のガイド溝(ガイド部)8aが、等間隔で、つまり90度おきに形成されている。これら各ガイド溝8a内に、それぞれ位置決め部材12が嵌合して、半径方向に進退動できるようになっている。これら各位置決め部材12は、容器支持部材8の上面に直立した姿勢で突出しており、容器支持部材8の中央部に載置された容器4を、四方から囲んで容器4の位置決めを行う。   The container support member 8 and the cam member 6 have a circular outer peripheral surface. Further, the outer surface of the lower base member 10 has a square shape in which the four corners 10a are chamfered in a circular shape. The container support member 8 is formed with four guide grooves (guide portions) 8a toward the center thereof at equal intervals, that is, every 90 degrees. Positioning members 12 are fitted in the respective guide grooves 8a so that they can advance and retreat in the radial direction. Each positioning member 12 protrudes in an upright posture on the upper surface of the container support member 8, and positions the container 4 by surrounding the container 4 placed at the center of the container support member 8 from four sides.

容器支持部材8の下方に配置されているカム部材6には、4本の円弧状をしたカム部(カム溝)6aが等間隔で形成されている。これら各円弧状のカム溝6aは、一端6aaが半径方向外方側に位置し、他端6abが半径方向内方側に位置する螺旋形をしている。4本のカム溝6aの、半径方向外方側に位置している4箇所の端部6aaと、半径方向内方に位置している4箇所の端部6abは、それぞれ同一円周上に位置している。前記容器支持部材8に設けられた4個の位置決め部材12は、それぞれ底部に突起12aが形成されており、これら各位置決め部材12の突起12aが、前記カム部材6の4本の円弧状カム溝6a内にそれぞれ嵌合している。従って、容器支持部材8とカム部材6とを相対回転させると、位置決め部材12の突起12aがカム溝6a内で回転方向に移動するとともに半径方向にも移動し、位置決め部材12は、容器支持部材8のガイド溝8a内で半径方向に移動する。なお、容器支持部材8の中心部に挿通した位置決めピン14がカム部材6の中心の孔内に挿入されており、これら上下の円形プレート(容器支持部材8とカム部材6)は中心位置がずれることなく相対回転する。   On the cam member 6 disposed below the container support member 8, four arc-shaped cam portions (cam grooves) 6a are formed at equal intervals. Each of the arc-shaped cam grooves 6a has a spiral shape in which one end 6aa is located on the radially outer side and the other end 6ab is located on the radially inner side. The four end portions 6aa of the four cam grooves 6a located on the radially outer side and the four end portions 6ab located on the radially inner side are positioned on the same circumference. is doing. Each of the four positioning members 12 provided on the container support member 8 has a protrusion 12a formed on the bottom thereof, and the protrusions 12a of the positioning members 12 correspond to the four arc-shaped cam grooves of the cam member 6. Each is fitted in 6a. Accordingly, when the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 are rotated relative to each other, the protrusion 12a of the positioning member 12 moves in the rotational direction and also in the radial direction within the cam groove 6a. It moves in the radial direction within the eight guide grooves 8a. A positioning pin 14 inserted through the central portion of the container support member 8 is inserted into the central hole of the cam member 6, and the center positions of these upper and lower circular plates (the container support member 8 and the cam member 6) are shifted. Relative rotation without

容器支持部材8の外周部の下面側には、下方が開口する2箇所のピン収容孔8bが対称の位置に形成されている。これらピン収容孔8b内には、連結手段としてのマグネットピン16が挿入される。ピン収容孔8bの深さはマグネットピン16の長さよりも深く、マグネットピン16全体が収容できるようになっている。図2は、マグネットピン16全体がピン収容孔8b内に収容された状態を示している。なお、この実施例では、対称の位置に2箇所のピン収容孔8bが形成されているが、2箇所に限るものではなく3箇所以上であっても良い。また、配置も対称の位置に限定されるものではない。   On the lower surface side of the outer peripheral portion of the container support member 8, two pin receiving holes 8 b that open downward are formed at symmetrical positions. Magnet pins 16 as connecting means are inserted into these pin housing holes 8b. The depth of the pin accommodation hole 8b is deeper than the length of the magnet pin 16, so that the entire magnet pin 16 can be accommodated. FIG. 2 shows a state where the entire magnet pin 16 is housed in the pin housing hole 8b. In this embodiment, two pin accommodating holes 8b are formed at symmetrical positions, but the number is not limited to two, and may be three or more. Further, the arrangement is not limited to a symmetrical position.

カム部材6の上面には、前記容器支持部材8のピン収容孔8bと同一円周上に、上方に開口を有する複数のピン挿入孔6bが形成されている。ピン挿入孔6bは、前記マグネットピン16の長さよりも深さが浅く、このピン挿入孔6bの底部までマグネットピン16を挿入すると、マグネットピン16の上部は前記容器支持部材8のピン収容孔8bの内部に位置するようになっている(後に説明する図8参照)。ピン挿入孔6bは、2箇所のピン収容孔8bにそれぞれ対応して、同一円周上に複数個ずつが一組になって設けられている(図3の右側と左側にそれぞれ一組のピン挿入孔6bが設けられている)。   On the upper surface of the cam member 6, a plurality of pin insertion holes 6 b having openings upward are formed on the same circumference as the pin accommodation holes 8 b of the container support member 8. The pin insertion hole 6 b is shallower than the length of the magnet pin 16, and when the magnet pin 16 is inserted to the bottom of the pin insertion hole 6 b, the upper part of the magnet pin 16 is the pin receiving hole 8 b of the container support member 8. (Refer to FIG. 8 described later). A plurality of pin insertion holes 6b are provided on the same circumference in pairs corresponding to the two pin receiving holes 8b (a pair of pins on the right and left sides in FIG. 3). An insertion hole 6b is provided).

前述のように容器支持部材8とカム部材6とを相対回転させると、カム溝6a内で位置決め部材12の突起12aが移動する。この突起12aがカム溝6aの最も半径方向内方側6abに移動したときに、ピン収容孔8bの位置と各組のピン挿入孔6bのうちの一方の端部側の挿入孔6bの位置とが一致する(例えば、図3の右側の組のピン挿入孔6bでは、ピン収容孔8bの位置が最も上方のピン挿入孔6b(6ba)の位置に一致する)。この状態が図4に示す状態である。逆に、位置決め部材12の突起12aがカム溝6aの最も半径方向外方側6aaへ移動したときには、一組の複数のピン挿入孔6bのうち他方の端部の挿入孔6bに一致する。例えば、図3の右側のピン挿入孔6bの組の場合には、ピン収容孔8bの位置と最も下方のピン挿入孔6b(6bb)の位置とが一致する(図5に示す状態)。   As described above, when the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 are relatively rotated, the protrusion 12a of the positioning member 12 moves in the cam groove 6a. When this protrusion 12a moves to the innermost radial direction 6ab of the cam groove 6a, the position of the pin accommodating hole 8b and the position of the insertion hole 6b on one end side of each pair of pin insertion holes 6b (For example, in the right set of pin insertion holes 6b in FIG. 3, the position of the pin accommodation hole 8b coincides with the position of the uppermost pin insertion hole 6b (6ba)). This state is the state shown in FIG. Conversely, when the protrusion 12a of the positioning member 12 moves to the outermost radial direction 6aa of the cam groove 6a, it coincides with the insertion hole 6b at the other end of the pair of pin insertion holes 6b. For example, in the case of the right set of pin insertion holes 6b in FIG. 3, the position of the pin accommodation hole 8b and the position of the lowest pin insertion hole 6b (6bb) coincide (state shown in FIG. 5).

容器キャリア2の使用時の状態では、ピン収容孔8bと、一組のピン挿入孔6bのいずれかひとつの位置が一致して、これら上下に位置が一致したピン収容孔8bとピン挿入孔6bの内部にマグネットピン16が同時に挿通されることにより、上方の容器支持部材8とカム部材6との相対回転が規制されるようになっている。   When the container carrier 2 is in use, any one of the pin accommodation hole 8b and the pair of pin insertion holes 6b coincides, and the pin accommodation hole 8b and the pin insertion hole 6b whose upper and lower positions coincide with each other. The magnet pin 16 is simultaneously inserted into the inside of the housing, whereby relative rotation between the upper container support member 8 and the cam member 6 is restricted.

カム部材6の底面の中心部に、回転軸部6cが設けられ、下方のベース部材10の中心に形成された軸受け孔10b内に挿通されており、ベース部材10に対して、カム部材6が回転できるようになっている。   A rotation shaft portion 6 c is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the cam member 6 and is inserted into a bearing hole 10 b formed at the center of the lower base member 10. The cam member 6 is inserted into the base member 10. It can be rotated.

前記構成に係る容器キャリア2を用いて容器4を搬送し、内容物(この実施例ではハンドクリームなどの高粘度の液体)の充填を行う充填装置の構成について、図6および図7により説明する。容器4を支持した容器キャリア2を搬送するコンベヤ20は、間欠的に前進および停止を行い、容器4が充填位置Pに停止したときに、上方の充填ノズル22から液体の充填を行う。この実施例装置では、粘度の高い液体の充填を行うため、充填時には容器4を回転させつつ充填ノズル22から液体を流下させる。容器4を支持している容器支持部材8とその下方に連結されているカム部材6は、これらを支持している下方のベース部材10に対して回転できるようになっており、充填ノズル22の配置されている充填位置Pの、コンベヤ20の側部に、回転手段(ローラ)24が設置されている。このローラ24はモータ26によって回転されるようになっており、コンベヤ20上の充填位置Pに停止した容器キャリア2の、容器支持部材8とカム部材6の外面に当接して回転することにより、容器支持部材8に支持されている容器4を回転させる。   A configuration of a filling apparatus that transports the container 4 using the container carrier 2 having the above-described configuration and fills the contents (in this embodiment, a highly viscous liquid such as hand cream) will be described with reference to FIGS. . The conveyor 20 that transports the container carrier 2 that supports the container 4 moves forward and stops intermittently, and when the container 4 stops at the filling position P, it is filled with liquid from the upper filling nozzle 22. In this embodiment apparatus, in order to fill a high-viscosity liquid, the liquid flows down from the filling nozzle 22 while rotating the container 4 during filling. The container support member 8 that supports the container 4 and the cam member 6 that is connected to the lower side of the container support member 8 can rotate with respect to the lower base member 10 that supports them. A rotating means (roller) 24 is installed on the side of the conveyor 20 at the filling position P. The roller 24 is rotated by a motor 26. By rotating the roller 24 in contact with the outer surfaces of the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 of the container carrier 2 stopped at the filling position P on the conveyor 20, The container 4 supported by the container support member 8 is rotated.

コンベヤ20によって搬送される容器キャリア2は、容器4を支持している上部の容器支持部材8およびカム部材6が回転できるようになっているが、これら容器支持部材8とカム部材6を支持している下方のベース部材10は、コンベヤ20の上方に配置された搬送ガイド28によって回転を規制されている。ベース部材10は基本的には正方形をしており、互いに向かい合う2つの側面10c、10c間の距離よりもやや大きい間隔で回転阻止手段としての搬送ガイド28が配置されており、上方の容器支持部材8がローラ24によって強制的に回転されるときでも、下方のベース部材10は搬送ガイド28によって回転を阻止されるようになっている。   The container carrier 2 transported by the conveyor 20 can rotate the upper container support member 8 and the cam member 6 that support the container 4, but supports the container support member 8 and the cam member 6. The lower base member 10 is restricted in rotation by a conveyance guide 28 disposed above the conveyor 20. The base member 10 basically has a square shape, and a conveyance guide 28 serving as a rotation prevention means is disposed at a distance slightly larger than the distance between the two side surfaces 10c and 10c facing each other. Even when 8 is forcibly rotated by the roller 24, the lower base member 10 is prevented from rotating by the conveyance guide 28.

容器支持部材8に形成された2箇所のピン収容孔8bの半径方向内方側に、上下に貫通する位置決め孔8cが形成されている。これら位置決め孔8cは、容器支持部材8とカム部材6とを相対回転させて、容器支持部材8に設けられている位置決め部材12の半径方向の位置を変更する際に使用する型替用治具30の位置決めのために用いられる。この型替用治具30について、図8および図9により説明する。型替用治具30は、各位置決め部材12と干渉しないように、容器支持部材8の直径よりやや長い細長い直方体の形状をしており、その下面側に突出する2本の係合ピン30aが対称の位置に設けられている。これら係合ピン30aは、前記容器支持部材8の位置決め孔8cと同一円周上に位置している。また、これら2本の係合ピン30aの半径方向外方側に、それぞれマグネット30bが取り付けられている。型替用治具30の2本の係合ピン30aを容器支持部材8の2箇所の位置決め孔8cに挿入すると、各マグネット30bが容器支持部材8の2箇所のピン収容孔8bと上下の位置が一致するようになっている(図9に示す状態)。さらに、型替用治具30の外周部の下端に、容器支持部材8の外周面に当接する当接部30cが設けられている。   A positioning hole 8c penetrating vertically is formed on the radially inner side of the two pin receiving holes 8b formed in the container support member 8. These positioning holes 8c are used for changing the radial position of the positioning member 12 provided in the container support member 8 by rotating the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 relative to each other. Used for 30 positioning. The changing tool 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. The remodeling jig 30 has an elongated rectangular parallelepiped shape that is slightly longer than the diameter of the container support member 8 so as not to interfere with each positioning member 12, and two engagement pins 30 a projecting on the lower surface side thereof. It is provided at a symmetrical position. These engagement pins 30 a are located on the same circumference as the positioning holes 8 c of the container support member 8. Further, magnets 30b are attached to the outer sides in the radial direction of these two engagement pins 30a. When the two engaging pins 30 a of the remodeling jig 30 are inserted into the two positioning holes 8 c of the container support member 8, the magnets 30 b are positioned at the upper and lower positions of the two pin receiving holes 8 b of the container support member 8. Are in agreement (state shown in FIG. 9). Further, a contact portion 30 c that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the container support member 8 is provided at the lower end of the outer peripheral portion of the mold changing jig 30.

前述のように、容器支持部材8の2箇所のピン収容孔8bに収容されているマグネットピン16は、通常は自重により下方のカム部材6のピン挿入孔6bのいずれか一つ内に挿入されている。この状態から、図8に示すように、型替用治具30を上方から接近させ、型替用治具30の2本の係合ピン30aを位置決め孔8cに挿入すると、マグネット30bの磁力によりマグネットピン16が引き付けられ、カム部材6のピン挿入孔6b内に挿入されていた下部が抜け出し、その全体が容器支持部材8のピン収容孔8b内に収容される(図9参照)。その結果、容器支持部材8とカム部材6との連結が外れ、これら両部材6、8を相対的に回転させることが可能になる。   As described above, the magnet pins 16 housed in the two pin housing holes 8b of the container support member 8 are normally inserted into one of the pin insertion holes 6b of the lower cam member 6 by their own weight. ing. From this state, as shown in FIG. 8, when the mold changing jig 30 is approached from above and the two engaging pins 30a of the mold changing jig 30 are inserted into the positioning holes 8c, the magnetic force of the magnet 30b causes The magnet pin 16 is attracted, the lower part inserted into the pin insertion hole 6b of the cam member 6 is pulled out, and the whole is accommodated in the pin accommodation hole 8b of the container support member 8 (see FIG. 9). As a result, the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 are disconnected from each other, and both the members 6 and 8 can be relatively rotated.

以上の構成に係る容器キャリア2およびこの容器キャリアを用いた充填装置の作動について説明する。液体が充填される容器4の外形に応じて、容器保持部材8の所定の位置にセットされている4本の位置決め部材12の間に容器4を載せる。容器キャリア2に1個ずつ支持された容器4を、コンベヤ20によって容器キャリア2とともに搬送する。コンベヤ20は間欠的に前進および停止を行うようになっており、充填位置Pで停止した容器4の中心部の上方に充填ノズル22が位置しており(図6および図7参照)、この位置で充填を行う。充填位置Pのコンベヤ20の側部にはローラ24が配置されており、停止している容器キャリア2の上部の容器支持部材8とカム部材6の外周面に当接して、モータ26の駆動により回転する。容器支持部材8のピン収容孔8b内に収容されているマグネットピン16は、下方のカム部材6に形成されている複数のピン挿入孔6bのいずれかに挿入されている。マグネットピン16は、ピン挿入孔6bの深さよりも長いので、下部がピン挿入孔6b内に挿入されるとともに、上部はピン収容孔8b内に位置しており、これら2本のマグネットピン16によって容器支持部材8とカム部材6とが回転方向に連結されて一体的に回転する。   The operation of the container carrier 2 according to the above configuration and the filling device using the container carrier will be described. The container 4 is placed between the four positioning members 12 set at predetermined positions of the container holding member 8 according to the outer shape of the container 4 filled with the liquid. The containers 4 supported one by one on the container carrier 2 are transported together with the container carrier 2 by the conveyor 20. The conveyor 20 moves forward and stops intermittently, and a filling nozzle 22 is located above the center of the container 4 stopped at the filling position P (see FIGS. 6 and 7). Fill with. A roller 24 is arranged on the side of the conveyor 20 at the filling position P. The roller 24 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 on the upper side of the stopped container carrier 2 and driven by the motor 26. Rotate. The magnet pin 16 accommodated in the pin accommodation hole 8 b of the container support member 8 is inserted into any of the plurality of pin insertion holes 6 b formed in the lower cam member 6. Since the magnet pin 16 is longer than the depth of the pin insertion hole 6b, the lower part is inserted into the pin insertion hole 6b, and the upper part is located in the pin receiving hole 8b. The container support member 8 and the cam member 6 are connected in the rotation direction and rotate integrally.

前記充填位置Pで、充填ノズル22から高粘度の液体が吐出されて容器4内に充填される。その間、容器4は支持している容器支持部材8とともにローラ24によって回転されており、高粘度の液体は容器4内全体に均一に充填される。容器キャリア2の前記容器支持部材8およびカム部材6を回転自在に支持しているベース部材10は、コンベヤ20による搬送中は、コンベヤ20の上方両側に配置されている搬送ガイド28によって回転を規制されており、上方の容器支持部材8が回転しても、下方のベース部材10は回転せずに停止している。一つの容器4に対して充填が完了すると、コンベヤ20は1ピッチ(ベース部材10の1個分の距離)だけ前進し、再び停止する。充填位置Pに停止した次の容器4に対して、前記容器4と同様に回転させつつ充填が行われる。このようにして、間欠的に1個分ずつ容器4を搬送し、停止している間に充填を行う。   At the filling position P, a highly viscous liquid is discharged from the filling nozzle 22 and filled into the container 4. In the meantime, the container 4 is rotated by the roller 24 together with the supporting container supporting member 8 so that the liquid with high viscosity is uniformly filled in the entire container 4. The base member 10 that rotatably supports the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 of the container carrier 2 is restricted in rotation by the conveyance guides 28 arranged on both sides of the conveyor 20 during conveyance by the conveyor 20. Even when the upper container support member 8 rotates, the lower base member 10 stops without rotating. When the filling of one container 4 is completed, the conveyor 20 advances by one pitch (distance corresponding to one piece of the base member 10) and stops again. The next container 4 stopped at the filling position P is filled while being rotated in the same manner as the container 4. In this way, the container 4 is intermittently transported one by one and filled while it is stopped.

この充填装置によって異なる形状の容器4に充填を行う場合には、容器キャリア2の容器支持部材8に設けられている位置決め部材12の半径方向の位置を、次の容器4の外形に応じて移動させる。このときには、型替用治具30を上方から容器支持部材8に接近させ(図8参照)、型替用治具30の下面側に突出している2本の係合ピン30aを、下方の容器支持部材8に形成されている2箇所の位置決め孔8cの位置に合わせながら下降させて、これら位置決め孔8c内に挿入する(図9参照)。型替用治具30の2本の係合ピン30aを、容器支持部材8の2箇所の位置決め孔8cに挿入し、さらに、型替用治具30の下面外周に形成された当接部30cを、容器支持部材8の外周面に当接させて、これら両者を重ね合わせて位置決めすると、型替用治具30に設けられている2箇所のマグネット30bが容器支持部材8のピン収容孔8bの上方に位置する。すると、このマグネット30bの作用によりマグネットピン16が引き上げられ、カム部材6のピン挿入孔6bから抜け出して、容器支持部材8のピン収容孔8b内に全体が収容される。   When filling differently shaped containers 4 with this filling device, the radial position of the positioning member 12 provided on the container support member 8 of the container carrier 2 is moved according to the outer shape of the next container 4. Let At this time, the mold changing jig 30 is brought close to the container support member 8 from above (see FIG. 8), and the two engaging pins 30a projecting to the lower surface side of the mold changing jig 30 are moved to the lower container. It is lowered while being aligned with the positions of the two positioning holes 8c formed in the support member 8, and inserted into these positioning holes 8c (see FIG. 9). The two engaging pins 30 a of the remodeling jig 30 are inserted into the two positioning holes 8 c of the container support member 8, and the contact portion 30 c formed on the outer periphery of the lower surface of the remodeling jig 30. Are brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the container support member 8 and the two are overlapped and positioned, the two magnets 30b provided on the remodeling jig 30 are connected to the pin receiving holes 8b of the container support member 8. It is located above. Then, the magnet pin 16 is pulled up by the action of the magnet 30 b and comes out of the pin insertion hole 6 b of the cam member 6, and is accommodated entirely in the pin accommodation hole 8 b of the container support member 8.

前記のように容器支持部材8の上方から型替用治具30を重ね合わせて位置決めすると、型替用治具30と容器支持部材8とが連結されて一体的に回転可能になるとともに、容器支持部材8とカム部材6との連結が外れて相対回転可能になる。この状態で、容器支持部材8を回転させて4箇所の位置決め部材12の位置を、新たな容器4のサイズに合わせて移動させる。図4および図5に示すように、カム部材6に対して容器支持部材8を反時計回り方向に回転させると、位置決め部材12の下端に設けられている突起12aが、カム部材6のカム溝6a内で回転移動しつつ半径方向内方へ移動し、位置決め部材12は、ガイド溝6a内を容器支持部材8の中心方向へ移動する。図4に示すように、4箇所の位置決め部材12は、小型の容器4に適した接近した位置に移動する。また、逆に、カム部材6に対して、容器支持部材8を時計回り方向に回転させると、位置決め部材12の下端の突起12aがカム溝6a内で回転移動しつつ半径方向外方側へ移動する。その結果、位置決め部材12は、容器支持部材8のガイド溝8a内で半径方向外方側へ移動して、大型の容器4に適した位置へ移動する。   As described above, when the mold changing jig 30 is overlaid and positioned from above the container support member 8, the mold changing jig 30 and the container support member 8 are connected to each other so as to be integrally rotatable. The connection between the support member 8 and the cam member 6 is released and the relative rotation is possible. In this state, the container support member 8 is rotated to move the positions of the four positioning members 12 in accordance with the size of the new container 4. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the container support member 8 is rotated counterclockwise relative to the cam member 6, the protrusion 12 a provided at the lower end of the positioning member 12 The positioning member 12 moves inward in the radial direction while rotating in 6 a, and the positioning member 12 moves in the guide groove 6 a toward the center of the container support member 8. As shown in FIG. 4, the four positioning members 12 move to close positions suitable for the small container 4. Conversely, when the container support member 8 is rotated clockwise relative to the cam member 6, the protrusion 12a at the lower end of the positioning member 12 moves radially outward while rotating in the cam groove 6a. To do. As a result, the positioning member 12 moves radially outward in the guide groove 8 a of the container support member 8 and moves to a position suitable for the large container 4.

4本の位置決め部材12を、容器支持部材8のガイド溝8a内で移動させて所定の位置に停止させた後、型替用治具30を上方へ取り外す。型替用治具30を上方へ移動させると、マグネット30bの磁力がマグネットピン16に作用しなくなり、容器支持部材8のピン収容孔8b内に収容されていたマグネットピン16が落下し、下部がカム部材6のピン挿入孔6b内に挿入され、上部がピン収容孔8b内に位置して、容器支持部材8とカム部材6とが回転方向に連結される。容器支持部材8とカム部材6とが連結されて相対回転ができない状態になると、位置決め部材12はその位置でロックされて移動しない状態になる。   After the four positioning members 12 are moved in the guide grooves 8a of the container support member 8 and stopped at a predetermined position, the mold changing jig 30 is removed upward. When the remodeling jig 30 is moved upward, the magnetic force of the magnet 30b does not act on the magnet pin 16, the magnet pin 16 housed in the pin housing hole 8b of the container support member 8 falls, and the lower part is The container member 8 is inserted into the pin insertion hole 6b of the cam member 6 and the upper part is positioned in the pin accommodation hole 8b, so that the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 are connected in the rotational direction. When the container support member 8 and the cam member 6 are connected and cannot be rotated relative to each other, the positioning member 12 is locked at that position and does not move.
