Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry articles orderly without deforming by a method wherein articles are carried without pushing one another, and the carrying direction is reversed by first and second corner conveyors, and the articles are carried by first and second belt conveyors, and then are fed to a packaging device from a feeding conveyor. CONSTITUTION:An article 3 which is carried by a wave stock carrying conveyor 1 is transferred to a line-making conveyor 13. A rotating roller 14 for the line- making conveyor 13 is provided in such a manner that the rotating roller 14 is tilted by an angle of approximate 60 deg. to a roller of a conveyor 1. After the article 3 is transferred to the line-making conveyor 13, it is carried to a first corner conveyor 14. The corner conveyor 14 is constituted of vertical roller group 15, tilted roller group 16 and horizontal roller group 17, and the article 3 is carried to a first belt conveyor 18. Through a second corner conveyor 19, the article 3 is carried on a second belt conveyor 20. Through a side belt conveyor 21 and a posture control conveyor 22, the article 3 is led to a feeding conveyor 23 and fed to a packaging device while the side surfaces are guided by belt conveyors 26, 26'.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in an article conveying device for feeding soft articles such as bread to a packaging device.

Conventional technology A conventional article conveying device has a mechanism in which a packaging device is placed perpendicularly to a rotating conveyor, and the articles are sent toward the packaging device using an aligning device or a lining device. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In conventional article conveying devices, the entire conveying device takes up a large amount of space, the supply to the packaging device is uncertain, and in places where the articles being conveyed are concentrated, the products may deform and become damaged. There was a problem with the value decreasing.

Means for Solving the Problems The article conveying device of the present invention has a plurality of rollers arranged horizontally and at the same intervals, and the rollers are divided into groups, and each group has normal rotation, stop rotation, etc. and a wave stock transport conveyor on which articles are wave stocked by being rotated by a motor with a controlled reversal function, and a row conveyor connected to the wave stock transport conveyor and having rollers arranged in an inclined manner. a first corner belt conveyor connected to the row conveyor and provided with vertical rollers, inclined rollers, and horizontal rollers;
a second corner conveyor connected to the belt conveyor and provided so that articles are folded back; a second belt conveyor connected to the second corner conveyor; a side belt conveyor provided on the second belt conveyor; A posture control conveyor for the articles and a supply conveyor for feeding the articles to the packaging device are provided.

The conveying device for articles of the present invention includes a first corner conveyor 7 and a second corner conveyor 7.
The corner conveyor moves the goods while changing the conveyance direction.
Moreover, even articles that are easily deformed on the wave stock conveyor can be stocked without difficulty. Particularly, food items such as sweets and breads that are being transported do not come into contact with each other and undue pressure is applied, and the entire transport device is arranged in a compact manner.

It is compact in operation and can easily transport a desired amount of articles.

The rollers 2 are parallel and spaced horizontally at equal intervals. The group uses one dedicated motor M as a power source, and rotational force for conveying the article 3 is applied to the roller 2. A pulley 5 is rotatably attached to the drive shaft 4 of the motor M, and a driven pulley 8 rotatably attached to the roller drive shaft 7 is rotated by the belt 6. A round belt pulley 9 is rotatably attached to the roller drive shaft 7, and the roller 2 is rotated by the round belt 10. A groove 1 for a round belt is provided at the end of the roller 2 that does not affect the conveyance of the article 3.
1 is formed. One group of rollers 12A
is driven by one motor M, so these roller group 1
2A rotates synchronously. The motor M sets each cycle of forward rotation, stop, reverse rotation, and stop in advance according to a timer setting program, such as 0.7 seconds for forward rotation,
One cycle is set to 1.8 seconds, with a stop of 0.2 seconds, a reverse rotation of 0.5 seconds, and a stop of 0.4 seconds. Regarding the operation of the motor M2 that adds rotation to the next roller group 12B following the roller group 12A on the entrance side, the time required for one cycle and the set times for forward rotation, stop, reverse rotation, and stop are the same, but there is a mutual relationship. is set so that normal rotation operation is performed with a delay of 0.4 seconds. Hereinafter, the timing between each motor is set in the same way.

By controlling the rotation of each motor M in this way,
The roller 2 rotates forward or backward, and the article 3 conveyed by the roller 2 moves forward and backward, eventually moving forward, and the wave stock conveyor 1 is smoothly conveyed.
done above.

The articles 3 conveyed by the wave stock conveyor 1 are transferred to the queuing conveyor 13. The rotating rollers 14 of the queuing cone conveyor 13 are installed at an angle of about 60 degrees with respect to the rollers 2 of the waste stock conveyor 1. Therefore, when the articles 3 are transferred to the queuing conveyor 13, the articles 3 are conveyed to the first corner conveyor 14 in a queuing state.

The first corner conveyor 14 is formed by a group of vertical rollers 15, a group of inclined rollers 16, and a group of horizontal rollers 17. 1 belt conveyor 1
8.

The article 3 conveyed by the first belt conveyor 18 is conveyed onto a second belt conveyor 20 via a second corner conveyor 19, which has two of the first corner conveyors 14 symmetrically installed. Above this second belt conveyor 20 ↓ This is the side belt conveyor 21 for shifting the articles 3 to one side.
The article 3 is guided to a supply conveyor 23 via an article attitude control conveyor 22 and an article attitude control conveyor 22 .

The side conveyor 21 has a flat belt 24 stretched between two rollers 2A and 2B, and the attitude control conveyor 22 has a flat belt 24 stretched between two rollers 2A and 2B.
It has a structure in which a flat belt 24' is stretched between C12D, and a connecting plate 25 connects the two rollers 2B. This side belt conveyor 21 and the attitude control conveyor 2 of the article 3
2, the article 3 is conveyed to the supply conveyor 23 with its posture suppressed.

The supply conveyor 23 is guided between two parallel belt conveyors 26, 26' by the second belt conveyor 20 on the bottom side and on the side by the heel conveyor 26, 26', while being guided by the packaging device (not shown). ).

Effects of the Invention The article conveying device of the present invention has the structure described above, in which articles are conveyed by the wave strut conveyor and the second belt conveyor, corrected in posture, and then fed from the supply conveyor to the packaging device. Therefore, the articles can be transported in an orderly manner without being deformed. Furthermore, the entire device is compact and the conveyance status of articles can be checked at a glance, so it has great industrial value.
