[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-described package transfer device, the winding units arranged in a large number of rows are provided so that the operator can operate the front surface of the winding units on both sides of the walkway during maintenance. Are arranged so that the rear faces of the winding units face each other so that the common drive system and suction air duct system can be used as much as possible.

Therefore, in a set of winding unit rows that are back-to-back with each other, on a belt conveyor that conveys the packages formed by the winding units, the packages in each row are doffed and conveyed to the base terminal. It is then transported to the transfer device at the end of each row of the textile machine. At this time, the packages are conveyed in opposite directions.

When two packages transported by these conveyors are transferred to the ceiling transfer device, a transfer device provided at the end of each belt conveyor raises the packages and rotates them at right angles in the same direction. However, when it is transferred to the ceiling transfer device, the package in which the vertical direction is reversed is transferred by the ceiling transfer device.

Therefore, for example, when these packages are transferred to the package stocker, if these packages are sequentially transferred to the belt conveyor as they are, the reversed packages will be transferred on the belt conveyor. In the stocker, it is impossible to align and store in a predetermined direction, and in order to align and store, it is necessary to provide a device that distinguishes the vertical direction of each package and appropriately reverses it. Will be expensive.

Therefore, according to the present invention, packages on a conveyor, which are conveyed in opposite directions by an inexpensive device, are aligned in the same direction and transferred to a ceiling conveying device to convey both packages. An object of the present invention is to provide a package transfer device that can be used.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, the first winder 1 and the second winder 2 which are arranged back to back in parallel with each other are doffed with a package formed of each winder unit, and the first conveyor is provided on each back. And the second conveyor 4 conveys the end of each conveyor. As shown in Fig. 1, these conveyors are round belt conveyors composed of two round belts 5 and 6, and convey the packages above the ends of the conveyors in the direction perpendicular to these conveyors. A ceiling transfer device 7 is provided.

At the end of each conveyor, a first transfer device 11 and a second transfer device 12 for transferring the package 10 conveyed by each conveyor to the ceiling transfer device 7 are provided. A transfer station at which the gripping device 13 of the ceiling transfer device 7 stops is arranged at an intermediate position between 3 and 4.

The first transfer device 11 and the second transfer device 12 have the same configuration except for the details of the rotating device described later, and as shown in FIG. 1, the first transfer device 11 stands upright. It has a movable frame 16 that is vertically supported while being supported by a column 15 that is installed and is vertically guided. The movable frame 16 is fixed to a part of a chain 20 stretched between sprockets 17 and 18 provided on the upper and lower portions of the support column 15. By driving the sprockets with a motor 21, the movable frame 16 is guided to a guide 22. It is possible to move up and down while guiding to the columns.

A cam plate 23 is erected on the front surface of the column 15, and a cam surface 24 projecting downward is formed on the front surface. On the front surface of the movable frame 16, upper and lower support arms 26 having a groove 25 through which the cam plate 23 freely comes in and out are fixed, and a bearing 27 provided in the support arm 26 rotatably supports a rod 28. ing.

Two holding arms 30 are provided on the upper end portion of the rod 28, and the package is placed and held on the holding arms 30. A rotating plate 29 having a pin 31 at an eccentric position is fixed between the upper and lower support arms 26 of the rod 28. One end of a link arm 32 is fixed to the pin 31 and the link arm 32 is fixed. The other end of is fixed to a pin 34 provided near the periphery of the drive plate 33. The drive plate 33 is provided with a follower arm 36 having a roller 35 at its end, and the roller 35 is constantly urged toward the cam surface 24 by a spring (not shown) provided on a shaft 37 of the drive plate 33 so as to come into contact therewith. There is.

Therefore, as shown in the first transfer device 11 in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the movable frame 16 moves upward when the link arm 32 is fixed to the right side of the rotating plate 29. Since the cam surface 24 gradually retracts, the follower arm 36 rotates clockwise in FIG. 1, and rotates clockwise when the rotating plate 29 is viewed from above via the link arm 32. Further, by adjusting the fixed position of the link arm 32 between the cam surface 24, the follower arm 36 and the rotating plate 29, the rotating plate 29 rotates 90 degrees between the lower end and the upper end of the cam surface 24. Set to work.

On the other hand, in the second transfer device 12, as shown in FIG. 2, the link arm 42 is connected to the rotary plate 39, and the link arm 32 is connected to the rotary plate 29 of the first transfer device 11. It is connected to the position opposite to the part. As a result, when the follower arm 44 comes into contact with the cam 43 having the same structure as the cam 23 and moves, the rotating plate 39 rotates in the direction opposite to the rotating plate 29.

In the above apparatus, the package 10 formed by the first winder 1 is conveyed to the side of the first transfer device 11 provided at the end by the round belt conveyor 3 with the upper portion 10 ′ facing forward, and the end portion. Stop at. At this time, the movable frame 16 is located at the lowermost position, so that the holding arm 30 at the tip of the rod 28 is located at the lower part of the first conveyor 3, and the follower arm 36 is at the lowermost protruding position on the cam surface 24. Since the pin 31 of the rotating plate 29 is pulled toward the front side by the link arm 32, the pin 31 'is positioned. As a result, the rod 28 stops by holding the holding arm 30 at the front end in parallel with the first conveyor 3 and positioning the holding arm 30 between the two round belts 5 and 6.

Next, when the motor 21 is driven to drive the chain 20, the movable frame 16 moves upward together with the chain on one side. As a result, the holding arm 30 rises while holding the package 10 from between the two round belts 5 and 6. At this time, the follower arm 36 in contact with the cam surface 24 rotates clockwise in FIG. 1 to push out the link arm 32 and rotate the pin 31 of the rotating plate 29 from the initial pin position 31 '. The moving plate 29 rotates to the pin position 31 ″ rotated by 90 degrees.

Therefore, the holding arm 30 holding the package 10 rotates 90 degrees in the clockwise direction in FIG. 2 while rising, and is parallel to the carrying direction of the ceiling carrying device 7 and its carrying direction is the same as that of the package. Hold as top 10 'and stop.

The package formed by the second winder 2 is conveyed to the second transfer device 12 side by the second conveyor 4 with its upper part in the direction opposite to that of the package formed by the first winder 1. It The package is rotated by 90 degrees while being lifted by the second transfer device 12 by the same operation as the first transfer device 11, and the axis of the package is oriented in the transfer direction of the ceiling transfer device. However, since the holding arm of the holding arm rotates 90 degrees in the direction opposite to the turning plate 29 of the first transfer device 11, the package gripped by the ceiling transfer device 7 is the first transfer device. The package is transferred in the same direction as the package transferred by the mounting device.

In this way, the two packages, which are rotated by 90 ° in opposite directions by the first transfer device 11 and the second transfer device 12 and aligned in the same direction and are on standby, are the ceiling transfer device 7 The gripping device 13 is set to have the same spacing as the gripping arms 9 and 9'extending on both sides.

After the standby state, when the ceiling transfer device 7 reaches the transfer station at the intermediate position between the first transfer device 11 and the second transfer device 12, the first two gripping arms 9 of the gripping device 13 are moved. Located at the bottom of the package of the first transfer device, the second two gripping arms 9'of the gripping device are located at the bottom of the package of the second transfer device and stop.

Next, when the motor 21 of the first transfer device and the second transfer device is reversely rotated and the movable frame 16 is lowered, the holding arm 30 places the package 10 on the two holding arms of the holding device 13. And continue to descend. At this time, when the ceiling transfer device 7 is run, the ceiling transfer device 7 holds this package and transfers it to the next process such as a package stocker.

On the other hand, the descending holding arm rotates 90 degrees in the opposite direction due to the operation opposite to that of the follower arm 36, passes between the two round belts of the first conveyor 3, and is positioned below the holding belt to stand by. It becomes a state. Then, the first and second conveyors are driven to convey the subsequent package to the end of the conveyor, and the above operation is repeated.

In this way, in the ceiling transfer apparatus, all the packages aligned and transferred in the same direction can be transferred and stored or processed as they are in the next step such as a package stocker. .

It should be noted that in the first transfer device and the second transfer device, when the packages are raised and rotated 90 degrees in mutually opposite directions, the two packages do not interfere with each other. Mutual interference can be prevented by changing the inclination angle of the.
