Next, to briefly describe the cargo sorting system shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. Articles are sent to a switching conveyor 4 provided downstairs.

As shown in FIG. 1, the right end of the switching conveyor 4 moves up and down, and the article is transferred to either the conveyor 5 or 15, which is installed in upper and lower layers.

The conveyor installed in upper and lower layers in this way is shown in Figure 1 (a
), since the lower layer is not shown because it overlaps the upper layer, it is shown in parentheses near the related upper layer symbol.

The articles sent by the transport conveyors 5 and 15 are separated by a predetermined distance (the distance between the articles required when the articles are separated by the branching conveyors 7 and 17) by the index feeders 6 and 16.

A branching conveyor 7 and 17 with a number of branching devices sorts the articles onto a number of pull-in conveyors 8 and 18 which are arranged approximately perpendicular to the branching conveyors 7 and 17.

The sorted articles are supplied to the inclined conveyors 9 and 19 provided corresponding to the large number of drawing conveyors 8 and 18, and the supplied articles are self-propelled by the force of gravity due to the inclination, and are sorted. and stored. When the loading container number (car number) is set, the stored articles are discharged in units of containers by the discharge devices 10 and 20 provided corresponding to the inclined conveyors 9 and 19.

In this way, the articles are loaded into the container 301 via the loading conveyor 14.

Next, each device used in the above tube alignment system will be explained.

FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b) show branch conveyors 7 and 17.
In the explanatory drawings, FIG. 1A shows a plan view, and FIG. 1B shows a front view. In this figure, a plurality of conveyor belts 7A
sends an article (not shown) in the direction of arrow a. This conveyor bell)? A skewed wheel 7B is disposed at a predetermined position between the conveyor belts 7A and the rotating shaft 7C is arranged at a predetermined angle with respect to the advancing axis of the conveyor bell 7A. This rotating shaft 7C is supported by a bracket 7D so that the skewed wheel 7B can freely rotate, and the bracket 7D is also supported by the lifting device 7.
It is supported by E via arm 7F. These branch conveyors 7 and 17 are provided in pairs for the large number of lead-in conveyors 8 and 18 shown in FIG. 1(a), respectively. Based on the sorting command, the branch conveyors 7 and 17 move the skewed wheels upward in the direction indicated by the arrow C by the lifting device 7E, as shown in FIG. and is sent to drawing conveyors 8 and 18 (not shown).

FIG. 6 is a detailed view of section D shown in FIG. The second braking section 9'A is shown. This second braking device 9'A includes a rubber-lined braking plate 9C that brakes the intermediate roller 9B as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 6, and a drive device that drives the braking plate 9C to the position shown by the broken line. This drive device includes an actuator 9E installed on a brake device mounting frame 9D, a pipe 9F and a hose 9G for sending pressurized air to the actuator 9E, and the drive device is controlled by a mechanical valve 9H.

The articles sent out to the inclined conveyors 9 and 19 by the pull-in conveyors 8 and 18 are self-propelled by gravity due to the inclination, and advance toward the downstream side while accelerating. The articles are braked at the second brake devices 9'A and 19'A in the middle of the inclined conveyors 9 and 19.

If the number of self-propelled articles is small, the articles will stagnate on the upstream side of the second braking devices 9'A and 19'A, but if more articles are sent upstream, the weight of many articles will be Due to the component force, the article slides over the braked roller 9B. In this case, the articles reach the dispensing devices 10 and 20 slowly.

In the case of articles that are difficult to self-propel, such as articles that have a large volume but are light in weight, the second braking devices 9'A and 19'
A large number of articles may be stagnant on the upstream side of the conveyor, but in this case, if the articles are continuously stagnant up to the pull-in conveyors 8 and 18, the driving force of the pull-in conveyor will push the articles successively downstream, and the articles will reach the dispensing device. .

Furthermore, first braking devices 9A and 19A are arranged downstream of second braking devices 9'A and 19'.

The first braking devices 9A and 19A are the second braking devices 9'
A and 19'A have the same structure, and when the second braking devices 9'A and 19'A are in the braking state, the first braking devices 9A and 19A are in the released state, and the second braking device 9'A and 19'A are in the released state, the second braking devices 9'A and 19A are connected to each other via the respective mechanical valves 9H and 19H (not shown) so that the first braking devices 9A and 19A are in the braking state. ′
It is linked with A.

FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) show inclined conveyors 9 and 19.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the dispensing devices 10 and 20 for dispensing articles stored in the storage system, in which (a) shows a plan view and (b)
) shows the CC view of figure (a).

In FIG. 3(b), as shown by arrow d, an article (not shown) is running on the free roller IOA installed in an inclined manner, but the lever 10E is normally moved by the cylinder 10D as a lifting device. Frame IO located almost vertically
Since C is pushed up, the stopper IOB and each lift channel IOF are located above the upper surface of the free roller IOA, and lock an article (not shown).

When a predetermined signal is input manually, the cylinder 10D moves the lever 10.
E is rotated in the direction of the arrow e, and the frame IOC is rotated in the direction of the arrow f around the axis 10G, so that the stopper 10B and the lift channel IOF are lowered from the upper surface of the free roller 10A. Therefore, the articles not shown in the drawings are moved and delivered one by one to the conveyors 11 and 21 by the drive wheel IOH.

The article dispensing device shown in FIG. 3 will be described in detail.
The frame IOC is lever 10E depending on the cylinder IOD.
When it is rotated to a position slightly lower than the top dead center, it swings about the shaft 10G so that the stopper IOB and each lift channel IOF can be positioned above the upper surface of the free roller IOA. In this state, the weight of the frame IOC, etc. is applied to rotate the lever 10E in the direction opposite to the arrow e, so even if there is a failure in the drive source of the cylinder IOD, the lever 10E will rotate in the direction of the arrow e. There is no chance of items being dispensed by mistake.

The drive wheels IOH are rubber-lined and are placed approximately 5 a+m higher than the article conveying surface of the free roller IOA, and are alternately arranged with the stoppers IOB, and when the stopper IOB is released, the article The front end of the bottom portion is arranged to be placed on the drive wheel IOH. In addition, the drive wheel IOH is Cheno wheel 10.
It is driven by a motor (not shown in FIG. 1) via the J1 chain IOK and the drive shaft 10L (in FIG. 1, ten article dispensing devices arranged in parallel are driven by one motor).

Note that separate motors may be provided corresponding to the respective article dispensing devices.

In addition, the photoswitch IOM confirms the completion of dispensing the article, and when the passage of the article is confirmed by the photoswitch IOM, the cylinder IOD is activated and the next article is stopped by the stopper IOB and lift channel IOF. It is. In addition, as shown in Fig. 1, one set of photoswitch IO is installed for 10 dispensing devices.
M may also be provided.

In addition, stopper IOB and each lift channel 10F
is located above the top surface of the free roller IOA,
The upstream portion of the free roller 10A is located on almost the same plane (the lift channel IOF slightly protrudes from the free roller IOA), and the downstream portion of the free roller 10A is located on the same plane.
Free roller IO with lift channel IOF of approximately 10mm
It should protrude from A.

Further, the circumferential speed of the drive wheel IOH (article dispensing speed) is set to be higher than the speed at which the articles travel by themselves on the free roller IOA, so the articles can be dispensed one by one.

Here, the interlocking operation of the braking device and the dispensing device, which is a feature of this embodiment, will be explained using FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 shows the actuator 9E, mechanical valve 9H, and third actuator of the braking device shown in FIG. 6, which are schematically represented.
Stopper 10B1 cylinder 10 of the dispensing device shown in Fig.
An explanatory diagram of the interlock control means including the D lever 10E is shown.

In this figure, the pressure air from the air source 31A is supplied to the pressure reducing valve 31B.
The gauge pressure is regulated to 6 kg/ciG and the interlocking solenoid valve 31C
is supplied to In the normal position, this interlocking solenoid valve 31C manually supplies the above-mentioned pressure air to the left port β of the cylinder IOD, and the passage of the right port R is open to the atmosphere, so the piston of the cylinder IOD is moved to the right in the figure. The lever 10E pushes up the stopper IOB and the dispensing device stops dispensing the article. On the other hand, pressure air regulated to a gauge pressure of 1.4 kg/crl G by the pressure reducing valve 31E is supplied to the mechanical pulp 9H via the auxiliary solenoid valve 31D to the port p, and when the mechanical valve 9H is in the normal position, Second braking device 9 from port q
' Pressurize the actuator 9E of A to maintain the braking state. Since the actuator 9E of the first braking device 9A is connected to the atmosphere through the port S of the mechanical valve 9H,
It is in a free state.

When the interlocking solenoid valve 31C is energized, the passage within the valve is switched, pressure air is input to the port r of the cylinder 10D, the port β is communicated with the atmosphere, and the piston moves to the left.
The stopper IOB is lowered and the article is dispensed. At this time, the above 6 kg is placed at port t of mechanical valve 9H.
/crlG is manually applied, so the passage inside the valve is switched, and the actuator of the first braking device 9A is pressurized and in a braking state, and conversely, the actuator of the second braking device 9'A is communicated with the atmosphere and released. state, and the interlocking control of the braking device is performed.

In addition, as in this embodiment, by attaching the auxiliary solenoid valve 31D, the goods are in the sorted state (the second braking device 9'
A is in a braking state), the auxiliary solenoid valve 31D is energized intermittently, the actuator of the second braking device 9'A is periodically released, and the actuator of the second braking device 9'A is stagnated upstream of the second braking device 9'A. It is possible to advance items that are currently in use little by little. Further, the reference numeral 31F is a quick exhaust valve.

If it is necessary to provide a braking device XA other than the second braking device 9'A, such as when the conveyance path of the inclined conveyor is long or the inclination angle is large, use the broken line in FIG. 2 as an interlocking means. Make the connection as shown.

In addition, the photo switch ION is used to check whether the next item can be delivered, and when it is confirmed that the item that was delivered first has been conveyed by the conveyor 11, the cylinder IOD is activated. , the next item is paid out.

FIG. 7 shows the arrow g
A transfer γ12 that transfers articles sent in the direction (indicated by the dashed line -) to a loading conveyor 14 (not shown) arranged in the direction of the arrow (in the case of the upper layer, via a switching belt conveyor).
and is an explanatory diagram of the stopper I3.

When the article is not transferred, the transfer cylinder 12B and the stopper cylinder 13B do not operate, so the upper ends of the numerous wheels 12D and the stopper plate 13A provided on the frame 12C are at a position lower than the upper surface of the drive roller 12A. be. Therefore, the article passing over this travels in the direction of arrow g. Transfer cylinder 1 if the signal to perform the transfer operation is manually generated.
2B and stopper cylinder 13B operate in the directions of arrows j and k, respectively, pushing each wheel 12D and stopper plate 13A to the position indicated by the dashed line, so that the article is transferred in the direction of the arrow.

Next, the above-mentioned dispensing devices 10 and 20 are provided, and the first braking device 9A and 19A and the second braking device 9'
The operation of the inclined conveyor device equipped with A and 19'A will be explained using FIG.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the inclined conveyor device of this embodiment, in which the stopper 10B1 frame IOC of the dispensing device 10,
The lift channel IOF is schematically illustrated in an L-shape. As shown in FIG. 4(a), in the second braking device 9'A indicated by the broken line, the braking plate 9C is in a state (braking state) pressed against the roller 9B, and in the second braking device 9'A indicated by the broken line, 9A, the brake plate 9C is in a state separated from the roller 9B (released state). In this state, roller 9
The articles W1, W2, W3, which are self-propelled on B, are braked by the second braking device 9'8 and slowly moved to the dispensing device 10.
reach. When the article W1 is stopped at the stopper IOB and the articles W2 and W3 are stationary on the lift channel IOF or the free roller IOA, when the loading container number is set in the sorting system, as shown in FIG. The drive wheels IOH of predetermined ten dispensing devices among the large number of dispensing devices 10 and 20 shown in a) are rotated by one motor. This is the standby state.

When dispensing articles sequentially from the plurality of dispensing devices 10 and 20, it is preferable to control the dispensing devices 10 and 20 disposed downstream of the conveyors 11 and 21 to sequentially dispense the articles.

When the photoswitch IOH shown in FIG. 3 detects that there is no article passing on the conveyor 11, the frame IOC is lowered, and the front end of the bottom surface of the article Wl is placed on the rotating drive wheel IOH, so that the article W1 is paid out in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 4(b). This is the state in which the money is being paid out.

During this dispensing state, the rotational speed of the drive wheel IOH is high, so the article W1 is dispensed at a faster speed than the moving speed of the next article W2.

Note that in conjunction with the descent of the frame 10C, the brake plate 9C of the first brake device 9A is controlled to rise and the brake plate 9C of the second brake device 9'A is controlled to descend, so that the article W
Since line pressure from the article located upstream of the first braking device 9A is not applied to the article W2, and the article W2 is slowly conveyed, it is possible to reliably separate the article W1 and the article W2. When the article W1 is completely transferred onto the transport conveyor 11, as in the dispensing completed state shown in FIG. 4(C),
The distance from the next article W2 is large. When the photoswitch IOM detects completion of dispensing of article W1 (
When light enters the photoswitch IOM after being shielded from light), the frame 10C rises.

When the frame IOC rises, the article W2 moves to the stopper 10B.
It is locked at. At this time, the first braking device 9A is in the released state and the second braking device 9'A is in the braking state, so
Since the article W2 is not subjected to line pressure from the article upstream of the second braking device 9'A and is slowly conveyed to the stopper IOB, the article W2 is not damaged.

In this way, the dispensing device returns to the standby state.

When the article W1 enters the photoswitch ION after blocking light, the frame IOC lowers again and the dispensing of the article W2 begins.

In addition, a timer is provided instead of the photo switch 1ON,
The dispensing of the article W2 may be started after a certain period of time (for example, 1 to 3 seconds) after the article W1 enters the photoswitch IOM after blocking light.

Furthermore, when dispensing all the articles on the inclined conveyor 9, another timer is set to ensure that the photoswitch IOM is not blocked from light within a certain period of time (for example, 5 to 10 seconds) after the dispensing operation is started. You can confirm that all items have been paid out.

When dispensing of the predetermined articles is completed, the frame 10C is raised, returned to the standby state, and the driving of the drive wheel IOH is stopped. Note that when one motor is rotating the drive wheels IOH of ten dispensing devices, the motor is stopped after dispensing of articles from all dispensing devices is completed.

In the embodiment described above, one of the plurality of braking devices is in the braking state and the other is in the released state, but when the inclined conveyor is long and large, there are many braking devices, and this It is possible to configure a small number of them, such as 2 or 3, to be in a braking state, and the others to be in a released state in conjunction with each other.

In addition, the braking device that is in the braking state is moved from the downstream side to the upstream side.
Alternatively, by sequentially switching from the upstream side to the downstream side, the transfer speed of the articles on the inclined conveyor can be adjusted. To control this, each brake device may be provided with a solenoid valve, and each actuator may be actuated by controlling this solenoid valve with an electric control circuit.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the dispensing device 10
and 20 may have a structure in which the lift channel IOF is not provided and the article is locked only by the stopper IOB.

Furthermore, the dispensing devices 10 and 20 can also be provided in the middle of the inclined conveyor.

Furthermore, the dispensing operations of the dispensing devices 10 and 20 and the braking or releasing operations of the braking devices 9A, 9'A, 19A and 19'-A do not necessarily have to be linked.

〔Effect of the invention〕 .

As explained above, according to the present invention, on an inclined conveyor that is long and has a high transportation speed, it is possible to efficiently and sequentially pay out articles starting from the dispensing end without damaging the articles. This has the effect of realizing an efficient cargo sorting system.
