Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cartridge aligning method and a tracer for aligning cartridges in the same direction and packing them in a box.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, Patrone tracers are
There was no suitable device and it relied on human power.

[0003]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention On the side wall of the cartridge,
Since there is a film entrance / exit, it was necessary to align the direction of the entrance / exit in a fixed direction when filling the film, but there was no proposal for a technique to automate this. Further, if the space accommodated in the tray is too large, the patrone freely rotates during transportation, and the patrones collide with each other, and the surface thereof is likely to be damaged.

Further, even if a large number of patrones are aligned, there is no suggestion of a technique for putting them in a caser, so that in the end, the situation is inevitably dependent on human power.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, according to the present invention, the entrance and exit of the film is aligned at a fixed position by applying a rotational force to the patrone during transfer, and a large number of the patrones are lifted by using a magnet plate. , It was sent into the tray, and it succeeded in automating the packaging of the Patrone.

That is, according to the present invention, the patrone is set vertically
The patrone is supplied to the guide passage that can be moved to the next
Abutting two conveyors with different speeds on the bottom edge of the
Support so that it rotates in the specified direction, and
Align in the same direction, and set the distance in the column direction as the shortest in the tray
It is a method of arranging patrones that is characterized by being stored in .

Next, the invention of the device is to control the direction of the patrone and the feeding means, and to simultaneously move the patrone to one line and make them parallel.
Means for entering and retracting means of a table to put the cartridge in correspondence with the tray, the loading and unloading means at the same time lifting or release means and the tray of the cartridge on the table successively that
It is a Patrone tracer characterized by being connected . The direction control and feeding means of the patrone are two belt conveyors that come into contact with the lower end surface of the patrone and have different speeds. Further, the alignment transfer means of the cartridge is a guide plate and a pusher for moving the guide plate by a predetermined distance. Further, the advancing / retracting means of the table is a rod of a fluid pressure cylinder connected to the table, and the means for simultaneously lifting or releasing the patrone is a magnet plate provided with an elevating means.

[0008]

According to the present invention, since the cartridge is vertically placed on the transfer conveyor and the rotating force is applied to the cartridge, the cartridge rotates during the transfer, so that the entrance and exit of the film are aligned in a certain direction.

Since a predetermined number of the sent patrones are aligned on the table, the table is moved forward to a predetermined position, the patrone is lifted, the table is retracted, and the patrone is sent onto the tray, so that the patrone is kept as it is. Can be aligned in the tray.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1, 7 and 8, two feeding belts 2, 2a having different speeds are laid in parallel on the machine body 1 with the upper surfaces of the feeding belts 2, 2a laid horizontally. The guide plates 4 and 4a of 3 are installed facing each other at a predetermined interval. An aligning conveyor 5 is connected to the end of the infeed conveyor, a push plate 7 of a pusher 6 is provided in front of the aligning conveyor 5, and a table 8 is installed in front of the aligning conveyor 5 so as to be able to move forward and backward. Below the forward position of the table 8, the tray 9
There is a box packing position, and a tray moving conveyor 10 including the box 9 packing position is erected, and a tray discharging conveyor 11 is laid in parallel on the tray moving conveyor 10, the end of the tray moving conveyor 10 and the tray discharging conveyor. The tray transfer device 12 is installed between the starting end of the conveyor 11.

In the above embodiment, when the cartridge 3 is supplied to the right side of the feeding belts 2, 2a, the cartridge 3 is moved in the direction of the arrow 13 by the feeding belts 2, 2a. Have different speeds,
The cartridge rotates in the direction of arrow 14 as shown in FIG. 2 (the feed conveyor 2a is assumed to be fast). Therefore, the film entrance / exit 3a of the cartridge 3 comes into contact with the guide plate 4a,
Since it cannot rotate, it is carried to the alignment position while being in contact with the guide plate 4a. In the aligned position, the cartridges are counted by a known means, and when the number reaches a predetermined number (for example, 20), the push plate 7 of the pusher 6 moves in the direction of the arrow 15, and the cartridges are moved onto the table 8. The pusher 6 returns to the old position and starts the alignment count again. In this way, the Patrone 3 has a predetermined number of rows (for example, 10 rows).
When lined up, pressurized air is sent to the cylinder 16 of the table 8 by the output of the counter, and the rod 17 is moved to the arrow 1 position.
Since it protrudes in the direction of 8, the table 8 fixed to the rod 17 also advances in the same direction and stops at the packing position A of the tray 9. When the table 8 stops, the magnet plate 19 descends as shown by the arrow 20, the cartridge 3 is adsorbed to the magnet plate 19, and the magnet plate 19 slightly rises as shown by the arrow 21. When pressurized air is sent to the tip side of the cylinder 16 and the rod 17 is retracted in the direction of arrow 22, the table 8 also moves in the same direction by the output that detects the rise of the magnet plate 19, and at the old position. Stop. On the other hand, the tray 9
Since it is carried by the tray moving conveyor 10 as shown by the arrow 23 and is in the packing position, the magnet plate 19 is shown by the arrow 2.
0 (Fig. 4), the tray 9 is raised, and the cartridge 3 is inserted into the tray 9. If the magnet is turned off, the magnet plate 19 loses its attractive force, and the cartridge 3 remains in the tray. The rest is accommodated in 9th. When it is detected that the cartridge 3 is accommodated in the tray 9, the tray transfer conveyor 10 moves by one tray, and then the pushing rod 24 moves in the direction of the arrow 25 and then onto the tray discharge conveyor 11. Then, the tray 9 is moved to the next step by the tray discharge conveyor 11 as indicated by the arrow 26.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, since the cartridge 3 is accommodated in the tray 9 while keeping the film entrance / exit in a fixed direction, the patrone 3 is packed with the minimum interval to achieve the purpose of the automatic tracer. You can

[0014]

According to the present invention, the film entrances and exits of the patrones are held in a fixed position and arranged, the patrones are arranged in a line, and then arranged in a predetermined number on the table. Since the patrone is moved to the tray and lifted to the patrone, the table is retracted, and the patrone is released , the patrone can be automatically boxed.

However, since all of the above operations can be automated, a fully automatic tracer can be obtained.
