Description

  The present invention relates to a herringbone belt with a partition.

  In the structure adopted for the belt for a belt conveyor, a herringbone structure suitable for transporting small parts or heavy objects is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The herringbone structure refers to a structure in which the left spiral coil and the right spiral coil are alternately arranged in the conveying direction, and meshed and connected so that there is almost no gap between the coils.

  Unlike this herringbone structure, left spiral coils and right spiral coils are alternately arranged in the transport direction to connect the meshing positions of both coils (each coil is in a transparent transmission state. (Hereinafter referred to as “coarse mesh structure”) is also well known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

In a belt employing a coarse mesh structure, partitions can be provided at regular intervals in the transport direction, and the belt can be partitioned into a plurality of transport sections by providing this partition. Accordingly, advantages such as holding different kinds of conveyed articles so as not to be mixed and quantitative conveyance of the conveyed articles can be obtained.
However, the belt adopting the herringbone structure has a structure in which the left spiral coil and the right spiral coil are packed in the conveying direction so that there is almost no gap, and a partition body cannot be provided (for mounting) There was no space.) Originally, the herringbone structure has the feature that it is convenient for transporting small parts, but it is not possible to provide a partition body that is particularly useful when using small parts as transport goods, and makes use of the original characteristics. There were circumstances that I couldn't.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and realizes a structure having a partition body while being a belt adopting a herringbone structure, so that when the small parts are conveyed, the partition body is used. An object of the present invention is to provide a herringbone belt with a partition body that is further improved in convenience as it is also effective.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures.
That is, the herringbone belt with a partition according to the present invention includes a belt main body in which support portions that support a transport article and non-support portions that do not support the transport article are alternately arranged along the transport direction, A partition provided between the support portions adjacent to each other in the transport direction provided in a protruding state on the support portion, and the non-support portion of the belt body includes a left helical coil with a winding direction directed in the belt width direction. The right spiral coil is alternately arranged and meshed with each other in the conveying direction, and both coils repeatedly pass the long link rod in the belt width direction to the position where a part of each winding shape overlaps in the conveying direction. is formed by the coarse mesh structure linked, the supporting portion of the belt body, conveying direction and further left helical coil and right spiral coil between the conveying direction of the left helical coil and right helical coil cross In the interleaved arrangement, the link rods that are long in the belt width direction are moved to the position where each coil closely adjacent in the conveyance direction overlaps a part of each winding shape in the conveyance direction after packing. It is formed by a herringbone structure that is repeatedly connected in the transport direction, and the partition body includes a support portion adjacent to the non-support portion of the belt body on the primary side in the transport direction of the non-support portion and the support portion. It is provided in a state in which a spacer action for maintaining a constant distance between the support parts adjacent to the secondary side in the transport direction of the non-support part occurs.

The partition body is provided with a raised body that rises at least toward the support part on the secondary side in the conveying direction with respect to the non-supported part of the belt body, and the raised body is formed with the herringbone structure. It is preferable that
The partition body includes a pair of raised solids that rise from two positions facing the support portions on the primary side and the secondary side in the conveyance direction with respect to the non-supporting portion of the belt main body, and the pair of raised solids rises. It is good also as what was formed in the angle | corner by connecting a protrusion side to an acute bending state.

The partition body may be formed such that the raised bodies on the primary side and the secondary side in the transport direction have the herringbone structure.
The solid body formed with a herringbone structure is preferably connected to the belt main body by a link rod inserted into a left or right helical coil forming the belt main body.

  In the partition body, a link rod used elsewhere for a raised portion formed from a herringbone structure and / or a connecting portion where raised members formed from a herringbone structure are connected to each other. It is preferable that a gap in the coil is filled by inserting a thicker link rod.

  The herringbone belt with a partitioning body according to the present invention is a belt that adopts a herringbone structure and realizes a structure having a partitioning body, so that the effect of the partitioning body can also be obtained when transporting small parts etc. As a result, convenience is further enhanced.

The main part of the herringbone belt with a partition which concerns on this invention is shown, (A) is a top view, (B) is a side view. It is a perspective view of the circulation type conveyor apparatus comprised using the herringbone belt with a partition which concerns on this invention. It is the side view which made the herringbone belt with a partition based on this invention correspond to FIG. 1 (B), and showed in the decomposition | disassembly state. FIG. 1 shows a belt body of a herringbone belt with a partition according to the present invention corresponding to FIG. 1, wherein (A) is a plan view and (B) is a side view. It is a principal part perspective sectional view showing the example which provided the fall prevention wall in the herringbone belt with a partition concerning the present invention. It is the side view which showed the other example in the partition body of the herringbone belt with a partition which concerns on this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1A is a plan view showing a main part of a herringbone belt 1 with a partition body according to the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a side view thereof. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the herringbone belt 1 with a partition can be formed into an endless belt shape and used for the circulation type conveyor device 2. In the following description, the conveying direction of the herringbone belt 1 is the direction of the arrow X shown in FIG.

As apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2, the herringbone belt 1 with a partition body according to the present invention includes a belt body 3 and a partition body provided at a predetermined interval in the transport direction X with respect to the belt body 3. 4.
FIG. 3 is a side view drawn corresponding to FIG. 1 (B), in which the herringbone belt 1 with a partition body (the belt body 3 and the partition body 4) according to the present invention is in an exploded state, and the partition body 4 The formation procedure is added in an easy-to-understand manner using a two-dot chain line. 4A is a plan view showing the belt body 3 extracted, and FIG. 4B is a side view. As apparent from FIGS. 3 and 4, in the belt main body 2, the support portions 5 that support the transported articles and the non-support portions 6 that do not support the transported articles are alternately arranged along the transport direction. Among these, with respect to the non-supporting part 6, the partition body 4 is provided so that the upper surface may be covered.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the non-supporting portion 6 is formed in a coarse mesh structure using a left spiral coil 10 and a right spiral coil 11. Each of the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 is formed in a coil winding shape (oval shape) in which a circular shape is flattened, the flat surfaces are upper and lower belt surfaces, and the longitudinal direction of the coil (coil Are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction X. Further, the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 are arranged so as to be alternately arranged in the transport direction X.

  By arranging the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 alternately, the plan view has a herringbone shape (V-shape), and the portion corresponding to the tip of the V-shape, that is, the coils 10, 11. In FIG. 2, the portions that are semicircular portions of the winding shape come into mesh with each other. The link rod 12 penetrates in the meshing position in a skewered manner, and the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 are connected by the link rod 12. Therefore, each of the coils 10 and 11 is in a transparent state and is not suitable for conveying small parts as it is.

In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, as for the link rod 12, the ball-shaped retaining part by welding is formed in the both ends which penetrated each coil 10 and 11, it welds with respect to each coil 10 and 11, or it bends. To prevent it from coming off.
In addition, the link rod 12 has a different thickness depending on the arrangement (hereinafter, a relatively thin one is referred to as a “thin rod 12a”, and a relatively thick one is referred to as a “thick rod 12b”. ). The thin rod 12a has a thickness that does not cause large backlash at the connecting portion of the coils 10 and 11 and does not hinder the bending operation of the coils 10 and 11 when wound around the wheel. A thick rod 12b is obtained by thickening the rod 12a as a reference.

Unlike the non-supporting part 6, the supporting part 5 is formed by a herringbone structure. In the herringbone structure, the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 are further arranged alternately between the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 forming the coarse mesh structure. It is formed by repeatedly connecting all the meshing positions with the link rod 12. Therefore, the coils 10 and 11 are in a state of being in close proximity to each other or in contact with each other with no gap, and small parts are not sandwiched or dropped between the coils 10 and 11 and are suitable for conveyance. It is the surface.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. By providing the partition body 4, the belt main body 3 is partitioned separately between the support portions 5 adjacent in the transport direction. Therefore, the transported articles that are stored and transported in each section do not mix.
The partition body 4 has a spacer action to fix the support portions 5 adjacent to each other on the primary side (upstream position) and the secondary side (downstream position) in the transport direction X with respect to the non-support portion 6 of the belt body 3. It is provided in the state. That is, as described above, the non-supporting portion 6 of the belt body 3 has a coarse mesh structure, and the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 are in a transparent state. When is not acting, the space between the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 is freely expanded and contracted. Therefore, the partition body 4 bears a tension force (that is, a spacer action) for preventing the expansion / contraction movement.

  The partition body 4 includes a pair of rising bodies 15 and 16 that rise from end positions on both sides of the non-supporting portion 6 of the belt main body 3 so as to face the supporting portion 5. In this structure, the rising ends are connected. The connecting part of the both raised solids 15 and 16 is in an acute bent state, whereby the partition 4 has a mountain shape.

Each of the raised bodies 15 and 16 is formed on the basis of a herringbone structure. That is, the partition body 4 is formed with a herringbone structure as a whole, and more specifically, the entire surface of the belt that can come into contact with the transported article together with the support portion 5 of the belt body 3 is a herringbone structure. It can be said that it is formed with.
Such a herringbone structure partition 4 can be formed by bending the central portion of a flat plate formed with a herringbone structure, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The raised solids 15 and 16 are obtained. However, the part to be bent (the connecting part of the raised bodies 15 and 16) is one or both of the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 or a plurality of them depending on circumstances in order to enable an acute bending angle. A coarse mesh structure is formed by removing. In this case, since the left spiral coil 10 and the right spiral coil 11 are in a transparent state in the connecting portion (the top of the mountain shape) of the raised solids 15 and 16 generated after bending, at least one (3 in the illustrated example). This is a connection using a thick rod 12b. For this reason, the gaps in the coils 10 and 11 are filled in the connecting portion.

  As described above, the raised bodies 15 and 16 both have a herringbone structure. Therefore, when the raised bodies 15 and 16 are raised, the lower end (the bottom end of the partition 4 rising from the belt body 3). ) Is formed by the left spiral coil 10 or the right spiral coil 11. On the other hand, since the support part 5 has a herringbone structure in the belt body 3, the part where the support part 5 faces the non-support part 6 (in the non-support part 6 where the partition body 4 is connected, Both end portions on the transport direction primary side and secondary side) are also formed by the left spiral coil 10 or the right spiral coil 11. Therefore, the part which connects the partition body 4 to the belt main body 3 performs a connection structure (connection of the helibone structures) between the helibone structure of the partition body 4 and the helibone structure of the belt body 3.

  In the connecting portion between the helibone structures, the belt body 3 and the partition body 4 are connected by a link rod 12 inserted into the left spiral coil 10 or the right spiral coil 11 that forms the belt body 3 (support portion 5). It is like that. That is, the link rod 12 is not arranged so as to be raised with respect to both the upper surface and the lower surface of the belt main body 3 (the support portion 5 and the non-support portion 6), but is completely stored in the belt main body 3. is there.

  When the partition body 4 rises from the belt main body 3 and unavoidably adopts a coarse mesh structure and a transparent transmission state occurs locally, the thick rod 12b is inserted into the skirt end portion to thereby form the coil 10. , 11 is filled. In any case, the bottom end of the partition body 4 (the rising position of each raised body 15, 16) is in a tight state such that the herringbone structure itself is bent, and the conveyed article is a small part. But it won't get caught or fall off.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the partition body 4 has a right triangle as one raised body 16 rises substantially perpendicular to the belt body 3. The substantially vertical body 16 is on the secondary side (downstream side = preceding side) in the transport direction X of the belt body 3 relative to the other base body 15, and the transported article placed on the support portion 5. Since it has an effect of pushing up, the standing angle is easy to transmit the pushing force. However, the partition 4 is not limited to a right triangle as described above, and may be an isosceles triangle, for example.

  As is apparent from the above description, the herringbone belt 1 with a partition according to the present invention (see FIG. 1) is provided with a non-supporting portion 6 having a coarse mesh structure on the belt body 3. It is possible to attach. And by attaching the partition body 4 in this way, the non-supporting portion 6 having a coarse mesh structure is covered, so that the entire belt is formed by the supporting portion 5 having a herringbone structure. Therefore, not only is it suitable for transporting small parts, but the belt is divided into a plurality of transport sections to hold different kinds of transported articles so that they can be transported quantitatively. It is possible to obtain advantages such as.

When forming the non-supporting portion 6 in the belt body 3, once it is assembled as a herringbone structure, the link rod 12 is pulled out at an interval at which the partition 4 should be provided, and the necessary left spiral coil 10 or right There is a method of removing the spiral coil 11.
However, other than this method, after assembling the herringbone structure with the predetermined length as the support portion 5, the coarse mesh structure is assembled with the predetermined length as the non-support portion 6, and then the herringbone structure as the support portion 5 is formed. The procedure of assembling may be repeated. In the case of adopting such a procedure, the assembly process of the herringbone structure (support part 5) is made independent, and separately from this process, the process of simultaneously connecting the support parts 5 and incorporating the partition body 4 is performed. Therefore, there is an advantage that the work can be highly efficient and the work space layout can be liberated (space saving).

By the way, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can change suitably according to embodiment.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the belt main body 3 may be formed as a fall prevention wall 20 for the conveyed article by bending upward the portions on the left and right sides with respect to the conveyance direction X.
The partition body 4 is not limited to be formed in a herringbone structure or the like. For example, the partition body 4 is formed in a triangular prism shape as shown in FIG. 6 (A), or in a square pillar shape as shown in FIG. 6 (B). What was formed can be adopted. These columnar formed bodies can be formed of a resin material, an elastic material such as rubber, a metal material, or the like.

  In adopting a herringbone structure for the raised bodies 15 and 16 of the partition body 4, the support portion 5 of the belt body 3 is formed for the wire diameter, winding diameter, pitch, winding shape, etc. of the left and right helical coils 10 and 11 to be used. It is preferable to match the herringbone structure. However, when the belt main body 3 and the partition body 4 are connected to each other, a situation in which the helical coils can mesh well with each other can be obtained, the coil wire diameter and winding between the partition body 4 and the belt main body 3 can be obtained. Matching the diameter, pitch, winding shape, etc. is not necessarily limited.
