Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [PROBLEMS] To provide an article transporting device capable of reliably feeding articles one by one with a relatively simple structure. A transporting means, to which a lump of articles is supplied at an upstream end thereof, and a plurality of partition plates provided at predetermined intervals, to an article transporting device, and a transporting means disposed above and downstream of the transporting means. And a rotatable article arrangement means provided with a paying plate for paying articles so that the articles being conveyed are conveyed one by one.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a conveyor, and more particularly to an article conveyor that conveys articles one by one from a stock (one block) and supplies the articles to other stations (stations for treating articles one by one).

For example, a belt conveyor with a partition plate, which is diagonally arranged, is used as a conveying device for conveying an article such as disposable chopsticks to a station for fixing an article such as disposable chopsticks to a folded lunch box which is another article. Are known. The belt conveyor contained articles to be manually fed through other belt conveyors or directly.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional example, it is not sure that the articles are fed one by one, and there is a drawback that the articles are double-fed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an article conveying device that can reliably supply articles one by one with a relatively simple structure.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a conveying means provided with a block of articles at an upstream end and having a plurality of partition plates at predetermined intervals, and a conveying means arranged downstream of and above the conveying means. Further, there is provided an article conveying device characterized by further comprising: a rotatable article arranging means provided with a paying plate for paying articles so that the articles being conveyed by the conveying means are conveyed one by one. .

【Example】

 Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of an article carrying device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are side views similar to FIG. 1 for explaining the operation of the article carrying device. Is.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is provided a bucket 10 for temporarily holding an article in a lump and discharging an appropriate number of articles from an opening at the bottom thereof. A belt conveyor 12 is arranged below the bucket 10, and the belt conveyor 12 is composed of left and right rollers 18 and 20 and a belt 14 wound around these rollers. A plurality of partition plates 16 are provided on the belt 14 at regular intervals. One of the rollers 18, 20 is a drive roller, and the belt 14 hung on these rollers is moved as shown by an arrow B to move from the upstream end 12a to the downstream end 12b and from the bucket 10 at the upstream end. The placed article G is conveyed.

An article alignment mechanism 22 is provided above the downstream end 12b of the belt conveyor 12 and above. The article aligning mechanism 22 includes a rotatable shaft 24 and a paying plate 26 disposed around the shaft 24 at an appropriate interval. The spacing t between the wiping plate 26 and the upper surface of the belt conveyor 12 is set so as to be larger than the thickness of one article but smaller than the thickness of two articles stacked, and this article arrangement mechanism is also used. 22 is adapted to rotate as shown by arrow A.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when a block of articles G being conveyed on the belt 14 of the belt conveyor 12 reaches the position of the article arrangement mechanism 22, it is wiped by the sweeping plate 26, and the partition plate Only articles that enter between 16 will be transported. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, since only one article can be inserted between the partition plates, the articles are conveyed one by one at the downstream of the article organization mechanism 22 and, for example, at the downstream end 12b thereof. Will be discharged to the conveyor (not shown). It should be noted that it is sufficient that the articles are conveyed one by one, and it is not necessary to put the articles between the partition plates. Further, the rotation speed of the article arrangement mechanism is set to a speed at which the articles are not double-fed between the two swash plates, and this speed is set to be relatively higher than the speed of the belt conveyor.

In the above description, the bucket 10 is arranged above the belt conveyor 12, and the article is discharged from the bucket directly to the belt conveyor. However, the bucket is not necessarily arranged above the belt conveyor. Alternatively, for example, the articles may be arranged below the belt conveyor or on the same horizontal plane, and the articles may be indirectly supplied to the belt conveyor via another conveyance device. Further, the conveyor 12 is not necessarily limited to the belt conveyor, but may be a chain conveyor.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an article transporting device which can reliably feed articles one by one with a relatively simple structure.
