Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is a pallet in which a plurality of plate-like objects are stored side by side, one end of which is pivoted to the upper end of the side surface of the pallet, and the pallets are arranged between each of the plate-like objects. The present invention relates to a partition rod release mechanism for a storage pallet for plate-shaped objects for rotating a partition rod from inside the pallet to outside the pallet.

[Problems that conventional technology and ideas try to solve]

This type of pallet 1 as shown in FIG. 6 is well known, but conventionally, when taking out the plate-like objects 2 one after another, an operator manually rotates the partition rod 3 out of the pallet.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a partition bar release mechanism for a storage pallet for plate-like objects, which automatically rotates the partition rods out of the pallet in consideration of automatic removal of plate-like objects.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, as shown in FIG. 7, it is conceivable to attach an arm 5 orthogonally to the tip of the actuator 4 that operates in the vertical direction, so that the partition rod 3 is simply raised during upward driving. However, in this case, there is a possibility that the partition rod 3 may bounce back into the pallet, or that the plate-shaped object may be damaged if it is made of glass or the like.

Therefore, in the present invention, the pallet side surface 1 located in the direction perpendicular to the plate-shaped objects in the pallets 1 and 7 that store a plurality of plate-shaped objects side by side in an upright state.
In the partition rod release mechanism of a storage pallet for plate-shaped objects, the mechanism is for releasing partition rods 3, which are arranged with their bases pivotally attached to the upper end of a to partition each plate-shaped object, out of the pallet. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the part 1 that contacts the bottom of the partition rod 3 that has been rotated to the partition position in the pallets 1 and 7
1c at the tip, a protrusion 11a protruding in the direction along the pallet side is formed at the center of the swing in the direction away from the pallet side. A circular groove 1 into which a rotating body 13, which has a groove 13a in which a protrusion 11a is unrotatably inserted, is rotatably inserted into members 11 and 11e arranged in parallel with the swinging member.
2a, and a long groove 12b extending from the circular groove 12a toward the side surface of the pallet so that the protrusion 11a can be inserted and slid in a non-rotatable manner, and in the rotating body 13, the groove 13a is connected to the long groove 12b. stopper 12c, 13 that restrains rotation at the rotational position
c, and furthermore, the rotating body 13 is connected to the stopper 12.
c and 13c, and then in the process of sliding the protrusion 11a toward the side surface of the pallet along the long groove 12b, the partition rod 3 is moved to the contact portion 1.
The pallet is characterized by being equipped with an actuator 14 that pushes the lower part of the pallet toward the side surface of the pallet so as to rotate the pallet outward at 1c.

[Effect]

When the actuator 14 operates with the protrusion 11a fitted into the groove 13a, the contact portions 11 of the swinging members 11 and 11e first move around the rotating body 13 as the rotation axis.
By rotating upward, the partition bar 3 is rotated above the horizontal position within the pallets 1 and 7. Furthermore, when the actuator 14 continues to operate and the rotating body 13 comes to a position where it is restrained by the stoppers 12c and 13c, the contact portion 11c moves in conjunction with the slide of the projection 11a toward the pallet side surface 1a along the long groove 12b. Rotate the partition rod 3 to the outside of the pallet.

[Example of idea]

Fig. 4 shows a storage pallet 7 for plate-shaped objects, in which a partition rod 3 is attached to the side surface 1a of the pallet on one side as in the case of Fig. 6, but on the other side there is a storage pallet 7 for plate-shaped objects. A groove 7a into which the lower end of the windshield 21 is inserted is formed, and
A presser 7c is attached to the support column 7b (only one side is shown) so as to be rotatable between a presser position (the position shown) and an upper open position.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the partition bar release mechanism 10 for the pallet 7 scoops up the partition bar 3 with the tip horizontal bar 11c, and has a protrusion 11a on the side surface of the corner that becomes the center of swing. An almost inverted L-shaped arm 11 as a swinging member and a frame 17
The arm 12 has a long groove 12b extending from the circular groove 12a toward the pallet side surface 1a so that the circular groove 12a and the protrusion 11a can fit therein and slide therein;
The pin 13 has a groove 13a that can communicate with the circular groove 12b and is a rotating body that can rotate within the circular groove 12a.
and the lower end 11d of the arm 11 is attached to the pallet side surface 1a.
It is composed of an air cylinder 14 as an actuator for pushing in the direction. Pin 13 has circular groove 1
2a is rotatably inserted and pinned (not shown), and another arm 11e of the same shape is arranged on the opposite side of the arm 11 via the arm 12, so that the lower end 11d, the protrusion 11a and the tip end are connected to each other. They are connected by a horizontal bar 11c (Fig. 5). Protrusion 11a
is formed into a rectangular shape along the long groove 12b,
Further, the shape of the groove 13a corresponds to this rectangle, and the protrusion 11a fits into these grooves 12b and 13a.
It has become impossible to rotate inside. Also, arm 12
Protrusions 12c and 13c are formed at the rear of the seat 13b of the pin 13, respectively, so that the pin 1 is placed in a rotational position that communicates the groove 13a with the long groove 12b.
3 constitutes a stopper that restrains. Protrusion 11
a is fitted into the circular groove 12a.

Partition rod release mechanism 10 configured in this way
As shown in FIG. 5, for example, the positioning mechanism 30 is attached to a positioning mechanism 30 together with an automatic extraction mechanism using, for example, a suction cup for the windshield 21 of an automobile. This mechanism is further equipped with a traveling base 23 that is driven by a motor 39 to travel on the overhead rail 20. That is, the rear end of the frame 17 is attached to the lower end base 35 which is pivotally connected to the intermediate base 31, and the rear end of the air cylinder 14 is attached to the frame 17.
It is pivotally attached to the rear end of the. The lower end base 35 includes a suction cup 36 and a sensor 37 that detects contact with the windshield 21.
The rod of the air cylinder 32, which is pivotally connected to the air cylinder 32, is pivotally connected to the air cylinder 32, thereby making it possible to rotate between a vertical position (FIG. 5a) and a horizontal position (FIG. 5b). The intermediate base 31 is further raised and lowered along a guide rod 34 by an air cylinder 33.

The operation is as follows.

When sailing the windshields 21 in the pallet 7 to the conveyor 22 in order, the traveling base 23 moves to the pallet 7, and just before that, the lower end base 35,
That is, the arms 11 and 11e are turned vertically and lowered to further move. In this state, the tip horizontal bars 11c of the arms 11, 11e enter the lower surface of the partition bar 3 ((FIG. 1a)), and when the sensor 37 detects contact with the windshield 21, the windshield 21 is moved to the suction cup 36. At the same time, the air cylinder 14 is operated.The rod 14a pushes the lower ends 11d of the arms 11 and 11e and rotates about the center point of the circular groove 12a as the rotation axis, thereby rotating the partition rod 3 upward into the pallet. Further, when the rod 14a moves forward, the protrusion 13c comes into contact with the protrusion 12c, and then the protrusion 11a enters the long groove 12b and slides, and in conjunction, the tip horizontal bar 11c moves into the partition bar 3. is rotated to the outside of the pallet (Fig. 1c). When the releasing operation of the partition rod 3 is completed, the cylinder 14 returns to its original position, and the lower end base 35 rises to the conveyor 22 while holding the windshield 21 with the suction cup 36. Moving.
On the way, the lower end base 35 is again brought into a horizontal state and moved further, and is lowered above the conveyor 22 to place the windshield 21 on the conveyor 22.

It should be noted that the present invention can also be applied to a pallet as shown in FIG. 6, if the complexity of the structure is acceptable.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to implement a partition bar release mechanism that automatically scoops up the partition bar and reliably moves it out of the pallet using a single actuator that moves linearly. Although the release mechanism can be used alone, it is convenient to incorporate it into an automatic removal and transport mechanism for plate-shaped objects.
