DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pipe conveyor in which a flat belt is rolled upward into a pipe shape so that objects can be transported without scattering.

As schematically shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an endless belt-shaped rubber conveyor belt 33 is wound between rollers 31 and 32 disposed at predetermined positions at the front and rear ends, and at least the upper outward path The portion is rolled upward by a number of shape-retaining rollers 34, and inside it,
For example, a pipe conveyor is known in which a conveyed object 36 introduced from a hopper 35 provided near a rear roller 32 is encased and conveyed.

In such a pipe conveyor, roller 3
If the distance between 1 and 32 is long, slight differences in the dimensions and properties of each part of the conveyor belt 33, uneven wear of the shape retaining roller 34, and accumulation of precision errors in each part may cause the conveyor belt 33 to may become twisted.

As a result, the conveyor belt runs unsmoothly,
Moreover, the pipe conveyor itself usually does not have the ability to recover from this twisting, so the twisting gradually increases, and the blocked part of the outgoing path, which was originally facing upwards, ends up facing sideways and even downwards.
As the conveyed object falls, an unreasonable load is applied to the conveyor belt, shape retaining rollers, etc., and their wear and tear is accelerated.

In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to discover the twist at an early stage, and for example,
Can it be corrected manually as described in Japanese Patent No. 57-141304? Or JP-A-57-145709
As described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-151508, it has been proposed to detect this twist with a detection roller and correct it using electric or hydraulic means based on the detected twist.

Directly monitoring the torsion of the conveyor belt is
It is not practical, and even if the detection roller is brought into direct contact with the surface of the conveyor belt and the torsion is determined by the inclination of the detection roller, it is difficult to detect even the slightest torsion, and it is difficult to detect the slightest torsion. Time delays are unavoidable, and the reality is that it is not possible to take appropriate corrective measures in the early stages of twisting.

また、検知ローラが搬送ベルトに常時接触して

Furthermore, since the detection roller is in constant contact with the conveyor belt, there is also a problem in its durability.

If the conveyor belt is a flat belt or a U-shaped belt, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 59-108727,
As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-170508, meandering of the conveyor belt can be detected by detecting the positions of both side edges of the conveyor belt using photoelectric sensors. If the conveyor belt is completely rounded, with both edges overlapping each other, such as on a pipe conveyor,
There is a drawback in that the positions of both side edges of the conveyor belt cannot be easily detected using a photoelectric sensor or the like.

According to the present invention, even if a conveyor belt, which is rolled up so that both side edges overlap each other, is twisted even slightly, this can be immediately detected by a simple means, and the twist can be properly adjusted. It is intended to help in taking corrective measures.
