【Example】

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The tray used in the tray sorter of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the ray 1 is divided into a base portion 2 and two heights above the base portion 2. Sorting section 3 having different outer diameters in each step, guided by side walls on both sides in the transport path Further, the bobbin bottom portion is in contact with the guide portion 4 and the peg 5 for inserting the tubular thread. .

[0010]   The sorting unit 3 has two stages of sorting units formed in the height direction, and is provided with three types of outer diameters of large, medium and small. 2A, 2B, and 2C, the lower sorting section of (A) Large diameter, upper sorting section is small, (B) Lower sorting section is medium diameter, upper sorting section is medium diameter, C) Set the lower sorting section to a small diameter and the upper sorting section to a large diameter.

[0011]   For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (A) and 2 (C), a tray having a large diameter sorting section and a small diameter sorting section is provided. To sort the lei, it is easy to remove the large diameter tray in the large diameter sorting section, so it is easy. is there. Therefore, a tray with a medium diameter sorting section, for example, a sorting section for the upper middle diameter and the lower middle diameter The trays that it has will be described. Insert the tube thread and guide it on the transport path as shown in Fig. 3. The guide portions 4 of the tray are guided by the ids 6 and 7 and are mixed and conveyed. First transfer The first branching tray 1 on the path 10 into two directions of the second transport path 11 and the third transport path 12 Upstream of the branch point 13, the upper-stage sorting section of the tray 1 is restricted to the opposing guide 6 side. The first guide plate 15 is provided. As a result, the upper sorting section of the tray 1 is restricted. First The tray 1 on the first transport path 10 is branched into two directions of the second transport path 11 and the third transport path 12. At the upstream of the first branch point 13 and downstream of the first guide plate 15, the lower sorting of the tray 1 is performed. A second guide plate 16 that restricts the portion to the opposing guide 7 side is provided.

[0012]   At the first branch point 13, the first guide plate 15 contacts the lower sorting section of the tray 1. Are installed at different heights, so that each tray has a guide 6 as shown in FIG. It is transported while being regulated by. Tray (C) that has a lower stage small diameter and upper stage large diameter sorting section , Is regulated as shown in FIG. Then, each tray is guided by the guide plate 16. A tray that is transported while being regulated by a guide 6 and that has a lower-stage small-diameter and upper-stage large-diameter sorting section. (C) is regulated as shown in FIG. 4 (B). In this state, the tray is the first It abuts the first sorting member 17 having the branch points 13, and the first sorting member 17 Since the height of the guide portion is set, the branch point 13 of the first sorting member 17 is Collides with the outer circumference of the cord. The first branching point 13 of this first sorting member has a large lower sorting section. Large diameter center O1 and medium diameter center O2 of the tray having the diameter, that is, the tray of FIG. The middle diameter tray (B) is The width of the third conveyance path 12 at the first branch point 13 collides with the first branch point 13 in the upper middle direction. W1 is slightly larger than the sum of the radius r of the tray guide section and the radius R of the medium diameter sorting section. Since it is set smaller than the radius r of the guide part and the radius R3 of the large diameter selection part, , And is distributed to the third conveyance path 12 on the lower side in the figure.

[0013]   In addition, the large tray in the lower stage (A) and the small tray in the lower stage (C) each have a smaller upper diameter and a smaller diameter. And the upper stage has a large diameter, and the positions are shown by the centers O1 and O3 in the figure. 13 collides with O1 lower side and O3 upper side in each figure, and the tray (A) is moved to the second transport path 11, The tray (C) is sorted to the third transport path 12. In this way, the lower sorting section The tray (A) having a large diameter is removed from the second transport path 11.

[0014]   The tray (B) having a medium diameter lower sorting section that is transported through the third transport path 12 has a second branch point. In front of 22, the third guide plate 20 set to the height of the upper sorting section of the tray Is restricted to the side wall 21 side. In this state, the tray 1 is located at the second branch point 22. The branch point 2 of the second sorting member 23 provided at the height of the guide portion of the tray 1. Clash with 2. The branch point 22 is located at the center O2 of the medium diameter tray and the small diameter tray. By positioning it in the middle of the center O3, the medium-diameter tray (B) becomes the second branch point 2 At the time of collision with 2, the width W2 of the fourth conveyance path 26 at the second branch point 22 is It is slightly larger than the sum of the radius r of the guide part and the radius R of the medium diameter selection part. Combined with the radius r of the section and the radius R3 of the large-diameter sorting section being set smaller, The tray (B) having the intermediate diameter is distributed to the side of the fourth transport path 26.

[0015]   In addition, the lower tray (C) having a smaller diameter is located at the branch point 22 of the second branch member 23 and downward in the drawing. Because of the collision, this tray (C) is sorted to the fifth transport path 27 side. This In this way, except the tray (B) having the medium diameter selection section, it is excluded to the outside.

[0016]   As described above, the tray is designed to eliminate the large selection diameter of the relevant stage. Since sorting is performed, it is possible to take in trays of other types without causing sorting errors. Absent.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

  Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it is possible to select three or more kinds of products with the two-stage sorting section. Since it can be done separately, damage to the tray is reduced, and the strict height between the groove and the reference plate is set. Setting becomes unnecessary.
