Abstract

PURPOSE:To hold the stable state even with a slight change in the conveying face of a branch conveyor and the condition of a push-out device by clamping a workpiece, pushed out onto the branch conveyor, between an endless belt and the conveying face of the branch conveyor. CONSTITUTION:When a workpiece 2 is conveyed by a carrying conveyor 1, a push-out device 3 is actuated by a detection signal so as to push out the workpiece 2. An endless belt 6 is disposed in a position facing this push-out device 3 and rotated in the same direction as the moving direction of a branch conveyor 4, in the state of being stretched over one pulley driven by a motor 5 and the other pulley. In addition, this endless belt 6 is provided at an appropriate angle so as to be inclined upward in relation to the workpiece 2. Accordingly, when the workpiece 2 is pushed out by the push-out device 3, the workpiece 2 is pressed being clamped between the endless belt 6 and the conveying face 7 of the branch conveyor 4 so as to be transferred onto the branch conveyor 4 without rebound or directional fluctuation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention uses a pushing device and a branching device using a solenoid, a cylinder, a rotating brush, or the like, to separate a workpiece conveyed in a line on a conveyor from another conveyor. The present invention relates to a work stabilizing device in an extruding device that stabilizes the direction of a work extruded to a conveyor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A work extruded by a conventional extruding device has a variation in a rotating or pushing distance. In order to eliminate this, by adjusting the strength and timing when pushing out from the pushing device, and by attaching a sponge etc. to the guide of the branch conveyor, there is something that stabilizes by reducing the rebound of the hit work. Existing.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art work stabilizing device, the work extruded by the extruding device changes the condition of the conveying surface of the branch conveyor (for example, in the filling machine in the previous step, The filling liquid spills and gets wet on the transfer surface, splashes with cleaning water, etc.) and bounces or rotates, making it unstable, and the work tilted at the exit on the branch conveyor gets caught in the guide and gets clogged. There was a problem. In view of these circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a work stabilizing device for an extrusion device that maintains a stable state even if the conditions of the conveying surface of the branch conveyor and the extrusion device change to some extent. is there.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides that an extruding device extrudes a work conveyed by a conveying conveyor from a side surface,
In the device for branching to the branch conveyor arranged in parallel with the transfer conveyor, an endless belt is provided on the opposite surface of the pushing device so as to be substantially parallel to the branch conveyor and in contact with the upper end of the work. A technical means called a work stabilizing device in a pushing device in which a driving device for rotating the belt in the same direction as the moving direction of the branch conveyor is provided, and the upper end of the pushed work is held by the endless belt and the lower end is held by the branch conveyor. Adopted.

[0005]

According to the present invention, as a result of adopting the above technical means, the work extruded on the branch conveyor by the pushing device is sandwiched between the endless belt and the conveying surface of the branch conveyor, so that the work does not bounce. It is a thing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is one embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is a view taken along the line AA of FIG. is there. First, the overall configuration will be briefly described. 1 is a work transfer conveyor, 2 is a work, 3 is an extrusion device, 4 is a branch conveyor, 5 is a driving motor, 6 is an endless belt, 7 is a transfer surface of the branch conveyor 4, Reference numerals 8 denote guides provided on the branch conveyor 4, respectively. Then, the work 2 is conveyed on the conveyor 1. For example, a push-out device 3 is provided for selecting and excluding a carrier into which a processed article corresponding to the work 2 is inserted, depending on whether the article is inserted or not. The work 2 pushed out by the pushing device 3 to the branch conveyor 4 is conveyed by the endless belt 6 driven by a motor 5 provided at a position facing the pushing device 3 and the branch conveyor 4 for feeding the work 2. The work piece 2 is pushed out so as to be sandwiched between the surface 7 and the work piece 2 so that the work piece 2 bounces off and the direction change is eliminated, and the branch conveyor 4
Is to be moved to. Needless to say, the pushing device may be a non-contact type device such as an air blower instead of the contact type device such as the rotating brush as in the present embodiment. Next, regarding the work stabilizing device 9,
One preferred embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, in which a carrier corresponding to a work 2 is a conveyor 1.
Come by. A pushing device 3 operated by a detection signal from a detection device (not shown) operates to push the work 2 out of the work 2. The endless belt 6 is arranged at the pushed position, that is, at the position facing the pushing device 3 in this embodiment. And
The endless belt 6 is adapted to rotate in the same direction as the moving direction of the branch conveyor 4 while the pulley driven by the motor 5 and the other pulley are laid over. further,
As shown in FIG. 3, the endless belt 6 is provided at an appropriate angle so as to be inclined upward with respect to the work 2. Since the endless belt 6 is thus arranged to be received, when the work 2 is pushed out by the pushing device 3, the endless belt 6 is pushed.
Since it is sandwiched between and and the conveyance surface 7 of the branch conveyor 4 and is pressed, it is transferred to the branch conveyor 4 without bouncing or changing the direction. The endless belt 6 can be made of various materials as long as it can be sandwiched, for example, by being made of an elastic body having a cushioning property or by sticking rubber, sponge or the like.
Further, the speeds of the endless belt 6 and the conveying surface 7 of the branch conveyor 4 are preferably the same speed, but if there is a slight difference, it is not necessary to synchronize them to be the same speed. However, work 2
Is bouncing, falling, and the direction is no longer regulated,
It goes without saying that functions cannot be achieved if there is a difference in speed.

[0007]

As a result of adopting the above configuration, the present invention provides
The following effects can be obtained. (1) Even if the conditions on the transport surface of the branch conveyor 4 change,
Stable extrusion is possible, the work does not bounce and bite into the guide, and as a result, it does not clog. (2) When a directional work is extruded, the work is sandwiched between the endless belt and the conveying surface of the branch conveyor, so that the directionality is restricted and the direction does not change.
