Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field of the Invention This invention relates to a conveying device for an automatic weighing and value labeling machine.

Technical background of the invention and problems thereof Conventionally, as shown in FIG. A press body 6 is movably provided on the other side of the weighing conveyor 3, a guide 7 is provided at one end of the weighing conveyor 3 extending to the rear end of the width-aligning conveyor 4, and the label is pasted. A press body 8 is movably provided on one side of the conveyor 5, a label issuing machine 9 is provided behind the press body 8, a discharge conveyor 10 is arranged on the other side of the label pasting conveyor 5, and packaging is carried out by the automatic packaging machine 1. Packaged item 1
1 is sent onto the weighing conveyor 3 by the packaging conveyor 2, the weight of the packaged article 11 is measured on the weighing conveyor 3, and the weighing conveyor 3 is moved in the direction of the bold arrow to bring the packaged article 11 into contact with the guide 7. , the press body 6 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the weighing conveyor 3 to transfer the packaged items 11 to the width-adjusting conveyor 4, and the packaging items 11 are moved along the guide 7 by the width-adjusting conveyor 4 while being transferred to the label pasting conveyor. 5, and at this position, the label issued by the label issuing machine 9 is affixed to the packaged object 11, and the pressing body 8 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the label pasting conveyor 5, and the packaged object 11 is transferred to the discharge conveyor. 10, there is one in which the packaged articles 11 are discharged by a discharge conveyor 10. In FIG. 1, thick arrows indicate the moving directions of the conveyors 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10, and thin arrows indicate the flow of the objects 11 to be packaged.

Now, the guide 7 is for sending the packaged items 11 to a fixed position on the labeling conveyor 5.
When the weighing conveyor 3 is driven, even after the objects 11 come into contact with the guide 7, they climb up the guide 7 due to the frictional force with the weighing conveyor 3, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3a. When the object 11 to be packaged is further moved toward the guide 7 by the width shifting conveyor 4 in this state, the object 11 to be packaged becomes more and more tilted as shown in FIG. Don't do it.

Purpose of the invention This invention was developed in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a conveyance device for an automatic weighing and value labeling machine that can reliably convey packaged items to a fixed position on a weighing conveyor. .

Problems and Means for Solving This invention consists of arranging a packaging conveyor and a weighing conveyor that rotate in the same direction in a line, sending the items to be packaged onto the weighing conveyor and weighing them at this position, and then using the weighing conveyor to unpack the items. The object is brought into contact with the guide, and the object to be packaged on the weighing conveyor is transferred by a pressing member to the width-shifting conveyor that is perpendicular to the weighing conveyor.The width-shifting conveyor brings the object to be packaged against the guide and sends it to the fixed position on the labeling conveyor. In a system in which labels are attached to the packaged items on the labeling conveyor, even if the packaged items sent by the weighing conveyor contact the guide and then climb up the guide and tilt, the width-adjusting conveyor Before sending the packaged items to the labeling conveyor, the packaged items are held down by the inclined surface formed on the guide and gradually returned to a horizontal position, and the packaged items are correctly positioned by the guide and the width conveyor. It is designed to be transparent.

Embodiment of the invention A first embodiment of the invention will be explained based on FIGS. 4 and 5. Components that are the same as those described in FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted (the same applies hereinafter). Guide 7 is weighing conveyor 3
The width of the guide 7 is greater than or equal to the sum of the width of the width shifting conveyor 4, and the portion of the guide 7 facing one side of the width shifting conveyor 4 has a groove that gradually extends downward as it goes downstream of the width shifting conveyor 4. A sloped surface 12 is provided. The height of the downstream end of the inclined surface 12 from the upper surface of the width-adjusting conveyor 4 is determined to be the height of the object to be packaged 11 plus a little margin, and the inclined surface 12
A guide surface 13 is formed at the upstream end of the guide surface 13, which curves upward in a sled shape.

In such a configuration, the weight of the packaged object 11 sent from the packaging conveyor 2 to the center of the weighing conveyor 3 is measured at that position. Thereafter, the packaged item 11 is sent by the weighing conveyor 3 and comes into contact with the guide 7, and when it is still subjected to the conveying force by the weighing conveyor 3, the packaged item 11 climbs up the guide 7 and tilts as shown in FIG. 5a. . The packaged object 1 remains tilted.
Even if the packaged items 11 are transferred to the width-adjusting conveyor 4 by the pressing body 6, the packaged items 11 are pressed down little by little by the inclined surface 12 during the process of being conveyed by the width-adjusting conveyor 4 while being brought closer to the guide 7, and as shown in FIG. Return to horizontal as shown. The position of the packaged object 11 in the conveyance direction is determined by the feed amount of the label pasting conveyor 5.

Next, a second embodiment of this invention will be explained based on FIG. 6. In this embodiment, the sloped surface 12 facing one side of the width-adjusting conveyor 4 is extended to a position facing the end surface of the weighing conveyor 3 by loosening the slope angle.

Therefore, the article 11 to be packaged receives the conveying force of the weighing conveyor 3 and climbs up the guide 7, but the sloping surface 1
2 extends to a position facing the end of the weighing conveyor 3, the amount of climbing is limited, and the continuously long inclined surface 12 allows smooth return to the horizontal level.

Effects of the invention Since this invention is configured as described above, it is possible to return the packaged items that are tilted on the weighing conveyor to the horizontal plane using the inclined surface during the process of sending the items to the labeling conveyor by the width-adjusting conveyor. This has the effect that the packaged items can be sent to the labeling conveyor while accurately determining the position using the width conveyor.
