Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is a method for gradually raising up a ceramic substrate or the like having a predetermined length that is conveyed in an obliquely inclined state and guiding it to the next process. The present invention relates to a substrate upright transfer device.

[Prior Art] Generally, a substrate made of ceramic or the like is formed into a rectangular shape having a predetermined length, and after being subjected to blast cleaning, it is transported to a drying chamber where it is washed and dried.

However, in the past, both sides of the substrate were blast-cleaned while being tilted at an angle, and the blast-cleaned substrate was immediately dropped onto a belt conveyor and moved on rollers, and the substrate was placed horizontally and placed in a drying room. Since the substrate is transported, cleaning and drying is uneven between the top and bottom surfaces of the substrate, which adversely affects the quality and performance of the product, resulting in a disadvantage that high reliability cannot be obtained.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The present invention was proposed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology.In order to clean and dry both sides of the substrate evenly and evenly, it is necessary to transport the substrate in an upright state to the drying chamber. The present invention aims to provide an extremely convenient substrate raising and conveying device that can gradually raise up a substrate that is conveyed in an obliquely inclined state and guide it to the next step.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a conveyor that conveys a substrate having a predetermined length in an oblique state, and a conveyor that gradually guides the tip of the substrate. An upright inner board installed above the conveyor with a horizontal opening in a V-shape to raise up the board, and an upright inner board installed in two parallel rows horizontally to hold and convey the upper edge of the upright board. Subsequently, the present invention is characterized in that a substrate upright conveyance device is constructed which includes both upper end support belts installed above the conveyor.

[Function] Since the substrate upright transfer device of the present invention is configured as described above, the substrate that is being conveyed in an obliquely inclined state is guided to the opening of the upright inner plate that is horizontally opened in a figure eight shape. While being moved, he is gradually forced to stand up. Further, the upper edge of the erected substrate is held between both upper end support belts provided in two parallel rows, and is led to the next process.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a substrate upright transfer device according to an embodiment of the present invention installed between a blast cleaning process and a drying process, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof. Arrow view A- in Figure 1
It is a sectional view showing a state cut along the A line.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a conveyor provided in the blast cleaning process, which is stretched horizontally by pulleys 2. Reference numeral 3 denotes support rods installed in a substantially V-shape on the conveyor 1 alternately at predetermined intervals in opposite directions so that their lower ends slightly intersect when viewed from the front. The substrate 4 is conveyed along the support rod 3 in a state of being obliquely inclined to either side, while both sides of the substrate are sequentially blast-cleaned. Reference numeral 5 denotes an upright inner plate that guides the tip of the substrate 4 that is conveyed in an obliquely inclined state and gradually raises it up, and has a horizontal opening M in a figure eight shape.
It is horizontally supported near the end of the conveyor 1 at a position slightly higher than the upper end position of the support rod 3 installed in a substantially V shape on the conveyor 1 via a support member (not shown). has been done.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an upper end support belt provided at the rear end of the inner upright plate 5, which is stretched between pulleys 7 and 7 horizontally.
The columns are provided in parallel, and both upper end support belts 6,
6, the upper edge of the substrate 4 raised by the inner raising plate 5 is held and conveyed. Note that 8 is a press roller for stably holding the upper edge of the substrate 4 between the upper end support belts 6, 6 even if the distance between the pulleys 7, 7 is long.

Next, reference numeral 9 denotes a conveyor provided in the drying process, which is suspended by a pulley 10, and has a groove (not shown) in the center of its upper surface for guiding the lower edge of the substrate 4.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a guide floor plate provided between the conveyor 1 for the blast cleaning process and the conveyor 9 for the drying process, and is installed horizontally so as to match the pass line of the lower edge of the substrate 4 being conveyed. A groove (not shown) for guiding the lower edge of the substrate 4 is provided at the center of the upper surface. Also, guide floor board 1
1 slightly protrudes above the end of the conveyor 1 in the blast cleaning process, so that the support rod 3 planted on the conveyor 1 is connected to the pulley 2.
so that it does not get in the way when rotating around the
It is tapered so that the width of the tip becomes smaller. The pulleys 2, 7, and 10 are rotationally driven via a drive mechanism (not shown) so that the speed of the substrate 4 being transported is constant.

According to the substrate upright transfer device of the present invention having the above configuration, when each of the pulleys 2, 7, and 10 is driven to rotate, the substrate 4 that has finished blast cleaning is supported by the support rod 3 and is tilted diagonally. The substrate 4 is conveyed by the conveyor 1, and as the leading end of the substrate 4 comes into contact with the opening M of the inner raising plate 5 and moves, the substrate 4 is gradually raised. Next, the substrate 4 thus erected is supported by two upper end support belts 6, which are provided horizontally in two rows in parallel.
The lower edge of the substrate 4 is guided through the guide floor plate 11 onto the conveyor 9 for the drying process. Next, the substrates 4 transported to the drying process are sequentially transported in an upright state via a transport means (not shown), during which both sides of the substrates 4 are evenly and uniformly cleaned and dried. Become. Although the guide floor plate 11 is provided in this embodiment, the distance between the pulleys 2 and 10 is short, and the substrate 4 is sufficiently longer than the distance, or the substrate 4 is held between the upper end support belts 6, 6. If the force is strong and stable, the guide floor plate 11 can be omitted. Further, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and the shape, structure, arrangement, etc. of each part can be arbitrarily changed as necessary.

[Effects of the invention] As specifically explained above, according to the substrate raising and transporting device of the present invention, it is possible to gradually raise a board that is transported in an obliquely inclined state by using the raising inner plate. It is possible to maintain the continuity of the conveyance state. Further, since the raised substrate is conveyed with its upper edge held between both upper end support belts provided horizontally in two rows in parallel, the conveyance state is extremely stable. Moreover, the structure is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost, and it is easy to handle. The present invention provides a practically extremely effective substrate upright transfer device that has many advantages such as, and can be widely applied to various substrate processing steps.
