Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is directed to turning a plurality of objects placed on a container 7 or the like and sequentially conveyed in one direction, and then stacking them alternately. More specifically, for example, a device for transporting objects such as so-called gassho seal packages in which sweets and the like are placed in a storage bag having an upper opening in a container for storing the objects, such as confectionery and the like, and then sealed. To provide a turning and stacking device for conveyed objects, which can stack a certain number of objects in a well-balanced manner by alternately stacking them at a height that is efficient for packing and the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of production process, etc., when confectionery, etc. are packaged in so-called gassho seal packages and transported to a desired location in the packaging process, etc., for example, the 11th As shown in the figure, the package 8 is hung down and held, and the upper part 8a is opened, and the 10 types of confectionery etc. are dropped from above the conveyor 9 that conveys the package 8 and placed inside the package 8. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the package 8 with the opening 88 sealed by a sealing means such as a heat seal is transferred to a desired outer box (not shown) via a conveyor 9 or other conveying means.
Generally, a means for transporting the materials to the packaging process is generally used.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional device has the following problems.

Therefore, the 10 types of sweets and the like inevitably gather in the lower part 8b of the package 8, forming the package 8 in the shape of a water drop.

In addition, the gassho seal package 8 formed in the shape of a water drop as described above
Generally, after being packaged in a predetermined quantity in a desired case (not shown) such as an outer box, the products are shipped to the desired delivery destination by transportation means.

Therefore, in order to minimize transportation costs, it is necessary to pack a certain quantity in a minimum number of boxes or a maximum number of boxes in a given case.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned gassho seal packaging bodies, it is necessary to stack them in a desired quantity so as to minimize the number of stacks before being transported to the packaging process or the packaging process.

Since the gassho seal packages 8 are formed in the shape of water droplets, it is difficult to maintain balance even if they are overlapped as shown in Fig. 13, so they cannot be stacked, and even if they were stacked, they cannot be stacked. The number of talents becomes very large.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 14, during the packing process or before being transported to the packing process, the workers must manually do the work in a way that minimizes the amount of skill they have, and also balances the piles to the desired quantity. In order to maintain the packaging, the contents such as the 10 types of confectionery had to be moved, the shape of the package 8 had to be reshaped into a substantially flat shape, and the packaging body 8 had to be stacked one on top of the other, which was very complicated and had extremely low work efficiency. Such difficult problems arose.

That is, the present invention solves all of the above problems,
By alternately overlapping so-called asymmetrically shaped articles with different thicknesses on one side and the other side, not only the above-mentioned gassho seal packages, etc., the packaging process can be carried out as appropriate with a minimum of manpower and in a stable state.
