Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable large quantity conveyance in a small place in a device for performing transfer by means of a cable body and a transferring body moving in a cylinder duct by providing a feeding port on the upper course side in the transferring direction of the cylinder duct having a wide sectional form while providing a discharging port on the lower course side thereof. CONSTITUTION:Transferring bodies 5 installed on cable bodies 3 are circulated as shown by the arrow in a cylinder duct 1 to lift up and convey a conveyed object thrown into a throw-in hopper 2. The conveyed object is discharged into a discharging hopper 6 on the lower course side. In this case, the section of the cylinder duct 1 is widely formed into a rectangular or a long oval shape, etc. By this structure, large quantity transfer can be performed even in a small place.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a transfer device.

[Prior art 1] Conventionally, a cable is inserted into a long cylinder, a plurality of transport bodies are attached to the cable at appropriate intervals, and the substance contained in the cylinder is transported by the transport bodies. A device is being developed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the above-described conventional cylindrical body usually has a circular cross-sectional shape, there is a limit to its transfer ability, although it has the advantage of being able to be disposed even in narrow passages.

The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to make it possible to reliably and quickly transfer a large amount of material even in a narrow space by widening its cross-sectional area. The purpose is to provide a transfer device that can.

[Means for Solving the Problem 1] The transfer device of the present invention includes a long cylinder, a cable inserted into the cylinder, and a transfer body arranged at an appropriate distance from the cable. , a traction means for pulling the cable in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder; a supply means for a substance to be transported provided at an upstream part of the cylinder with respect to the traction direction; ?
The transfer device is characterized in that the cylindrical body has a wide cross-sectional shape, and a plurality of traction cables for connecting and moving the transfer body are provided.

[Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

#In Figures 1S1 and 2, numeral 1 is a cylindrical body whose cross-sectional shape is rectangular. The cylindrical body 1 may be constructed into a long shape by adding a predetermined length as appropriate.

The cylindrical body 1 is erected in a substantially vertical direction, and its upper portion forms an upper horizontal portion 1a bent in a substantially horizontal direction. The lower horizontal portion 1b of the cylindrical body is also bent in a substantially horizontal direction.
A charging hopper 2 is provided. .

Two wires 3 serving as cables are passed through the cylinder 1, and extend to the outside from a discharge port in the upper horizontal part 1a of the cylinder 1, and then are wrapped around the drive wheel 4 and then downward. It descends and enters the lower horizontal portion lb of the cylinder 1 again, forming an endless loop as a whole.

A large number of transfer bodies 5 are arranged on the wire 3 at appropriate intervals.

The shape of the transfer body 5 is formed into a rectangle that substantially matches the cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the cylinder 1, and the outer peripheral edge thereof is
It is in sliding contact with the inner surface of. Note that there may be some gap between the transfer body 5 and the cylindrical body 1 depending on the type and size of the substance to be transferred, and the substance also depends on the purpose of transfer and the type of substance to be transferred. Depending on the requirements, the material is not limited to an elastic material such as rubber, but may be any non-metal such as metal or plastic.

A notch 4a is provided on the outer circumferential portion of the drive wheel 4 in accordance with the pitch of the transfer body 5, and when the transfer body 5 is engaged with the cutout portion 4a, reliable and powerful traction drive can be achieved.

A discharge hopper 7 is disposed below the discharge port in the upper horizontal portion 1@ of the cylinder 1.

Incidentally, a cylindrical body may be provided on the return path side below the drive wheel 4, and the wire 3 etc. may be passed through this cylindrical body.

Since the transfer device of this embodiment is configured as described above, when the drive wheel 4 is driven to rotate and the wire 3 is pulled, the transfer body 5 moves inside the cylinder 1 from the bottom to the top.

In this state, when a material to be transported such as gravel is thrown into the charging hopper 2, the gravel enters the cylinder 1 between the transport bodies 5,
It is pushed upward by the transport body 5 and is discharged into the discharge hopper 6 from the discharge port in the upper horizontal portion 1m.

The cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical body 1 in the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned rectangle, but may be a rectangular shape with circular ends or a rectangular shape with circular ends, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3(A) and 3(B). .

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the cylinder may be a so-called cage-shaped cylinder 7 constructed by arranging a large number of wire rods in parallel in the longitudinal direction.

Furthermore, as the cord body, in addition to the above-mentioned wire 3, lobes,
Any long material that is flexible and has tensile strength, such as a chain, may be used.

Further, the number of cords can be two or more arranged in series.

[Effect of the invention 1: The cross-sectional area of the cylindrical body is widened, so a large amount of material can be efficiently transferred even in a narrow passage.Also, since multiple cables are provided, the transport body can be moved stably. I can do it.
