The guide bodies 17 and 18 are disposed so as to be deviated toward the backward movement side with respect to the axial center (cylindrical center line) of the guide bodies 17 and 18.

  Therefore, even if the disk-like body 1 that has entered the through-hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 and has been transferred along the transfer guide surfaces 6A to 6C contacts the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18, for some reason, When a situation occurs in which the plate-like body 1 is not discharged to the outer side in the rotation direction, and a pressing force more than the setting acts on each delivery guide body 17, 18 from the rotary transfer body 8 via the disk-like body 1, Since the coil spring 22 is arranged biased toward the backward movement side from the axis of each of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18, the posture change of each delivery guide body 17 and 18 from the delivery guide attitude to the passing movement allowable attitude is performed. It can be performed reliably and smoothly.

  Further, on the outer peripheral side of the lower surface of the rotary transfer body 8 and at a position corresponding to the adjacent portion of the through hole 7, the disk-like body 1 sent out in the rotational direction by the second delivery guide body 18 is sent out to the delivery passage. An arcuate delivery protrusion 19 is further formed integrally to feed outward in the rotational radius direction toward the 16 side.

  The delivery protrusion 19 is disposed at a position slightly biased to a position on the upper side in the rotational direction (rear position after rotation) with respect to the pressing wall portion 14A located corresponding to the inner side in the rotational radius direction of the delivery projection 19 and the delivery guide thereof. The surface 19a is formed in an arcuate surface or an inclined surface that is positioned on the upper side in the rotational direction (rear side after rotation) toward the outer side in the rotational radius direction.

  Arc-shaped receiving recesses 31 a that come into contact with the disk-shaped body 1 to be fed out are formed at a plurality of circumferential positions (three positions in the present embodiment) of the rotation sensor 31 of the passage sensor C.

  The rotation position holding means D is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 33 that rotates integrally with the rotation detecting body 31 of the passage sensor C in a central angle range corresponding to the passing movement range of the disc-like body 1. A plurality of (three in this embodiment) arc-shaped recesses 33a formed in a circular arc shape on the rotation axis side of the rotating body 33 and a roller 34 engageable with the arc-shaped recess 33a of the rotating body 33 on one end side And a second coil spring 36 that is an example of an elastic biasing member that biases the arm 35 toward the engagement side.

  Further, a circle sent out on an extension line passing through the first and second delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 on the side of the delivery path 16 at the lower peripheral side (pre-rotation position) of the delivery passage 16 at the outer peripheral edge of the mounting portion 6. A feed roller 37 that feeds the plate-like body 1 to the entrance of the feed passage 16 and a third coil spring 38 that moves and biases the feed roller 37 to the protruding side are arranged.

Next, the feeding operation of the disc-like body 1 by the disc-like body feeding device configured as described above will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 10, the disk-like body 1 that has entered the through-hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 is placed between the mounting support surface 10a of the inner receiving portion 10A and the outer receiving portion 10B. The first support wall 14B and the second control wall 14C that are received by the mounting support surface 10b and are formed on the periphery of each through hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 are moved inward in the rotational radial direction. The movement and the movement toward the lower side of the rotation direction (the front side of the rotation) are restricted.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the disc-like body 1 that has entered into each through hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 is pressed by the pressing wall portion 14 </ b> A formed on the peripheral side of each through hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8. By the action, it is transferred to the set delivery site along the transfer guide surfaces 6A to 6C.

  When the disk-shaped body 1 entering the through hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 reaches the set delivery site, the disk-shaped body 1 is placed on the transfer guide surface 6A on the inner side in the rotation radius direction as shown in FIG. Abutting on the tip guide portion of the first delivery guide body 17 provided, the delivery is guided to the outside in the rotational radius direction on the delivery passage 16 side of the delivery port A with the rotation of the rotary transfer body 8.

  When the disc-like body 1 is sent outward in the rotational radial direction up to the position where the first delivery guide body 17 is disposed, as shown in FIG. The disc-like body 1 comes into contact with the second delivery guide body 18 provided on the transfer guide surface 6B on the center side in the rotational radius direction at a position biased toward the front side, and the disc-like body 1 further has a rotational radius. The delivery is guided out of the direction.

  At the time of this delivery guide, the disc-like shape that has entered the through-hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 and has been transferred along the transfer guide surfaces 6A to 6C with respect to the tip guide portions of both the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18. When the body 1 abuts, the disk-like body 1 is slidably guided along the circumferential surface of the distal end guide portion of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18, and each contact force with the disc-like body 1 Since the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 rotate, it is possible to reliably and smoothly guide the disk-like body 1 outward in the rotational radial direction against a large load acting on the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18.

  When the disk-like body 1 is sent outward in the rotational radial direction to the position where the second delivery guide body 18 is disposed, as shown in FIG. The disk-like body 1 fed out in the rotational direction by the second delivery guide body 18 is directed toward the delivery passage 16 by the delivery guide surface 19a of the delivery projection 19 formed at a location corresponding to the adjacent portion of the hole 7. Further, it is sent out in the direction of the radius of rotation.

  When the disc-shaped body 1 is guided by the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18, the disc-shaped body 1 that has entered the through hole 7 of the rotary transport body 8 and has been transported along the transport guide surfaces 6A to 6C. If a situation occurs in which the disc-like body 1 is not paid out to the outer side in the rotational direction even if it abuts on the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18, the driving rotational force of the rotary transfer body 8 is changed to the disc-like body 1. Are added to the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 from the direction along the transfer guide surfaces 6A to 6C.

  When the pressing force acting on each of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 exceeds a set value, as shown in FIG. 15, the second receiving portion 23 of the movable support 21 in contact with each delivery guide body 17 and 18 is provided. The inclined guide surface 24b retreats into the delivery guide unit case 26 while sliding against the first inclined guide surface 24a formed on the ceiling wall portion 26a of the delivery guide unit case 26 against the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 22. Finally, the upper end surfaces of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 are flush with the upper surface of the ceiling wall portion 26a of the delivery guide unit case 26 constituting a part of the transfer guide surfaces 6A and 6B. Retired to move.

  At that time, as shown in FIG. 16, when the disk-like body 1 rides on the upper end surface of each of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18, and the load on the disk-like body 1 is small, the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 22 Each of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 returns and moves slightly upward, but in reality, a large load is applied to a group of many disk-like bodies existing in the hopper H. While pushing the upper end surfaces of the guide bodies 17 and 18, the guide body 17 and 18 are moved by the driving rotational force of the rotary transfer body 8.

  Therefore, normally, it enters into the through-hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 by contact with each of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 in the delivery guide posture at the set delivery sites of the transfer guide surfaces 6A to 6C of the mounting portion 6. While the disc-shaped body 1 that has been transported is reliably sent outward in the rotational radial direction, the disc-shaped body 1 that is in contact with the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 is moved outward in the rotational direction for some reason. Occurrence of a clogging phenomenon caused by not being paid out can be suppressed.

  Further, each of the delivery guide bodies 17 and 18 allows the backward movement in the direction along the transfer guide surfaces 6A to 6C and the retraction movement to the inner side of the base 2 by the movable support mechanism E1 of the passage permission means E. Therefore, the disk-like body 1 that has entered the through hole 7 of the rotary transfer body 8 and has been transferred to the set delivery site is connected to the tip of each delivery guide body 17, 18 and the rotary transfer body 8. Even when a pushing force greater than the setting is applied to each delivery guide body 17, 18, each delivery guide body 17, 18 is flush with the upper surface of the ceiling wall portion 26 a of the delivery guide unit case 26. Since the disc-like body 1 that has been bitten can be moved through by being retracted and moved into the base 2 until reaching the state, the biting phenomenon of the disc-like body 1 can be eliminated.
