JPH07157078A - Automatic palletizer for a pair of conveyors - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an automatic palletizer capable of automatically stacking objects to be fed by conveyors on a pallet at high speed. CONSTITUTION:When an object 2 is fed by one side conveyor 1a, a transporting device 4a is moved on a rail 5, and an arm 6 is retreated, so as to suck the object 2 by a sucking means 8. Next, the transporting device 4a transports the object 2 in the specific position on a pallet 10 and turns it to the specific direction, so as to release the suction. Thereby the object 2 is placed on the pallet 10. On the other hand, when an object 2 is fed from one side conveyor 1b, the other transporting device 4b places the object 2 on the pallet 10. That is, transporting devices 4a, 4b are respectively operated, and the objects on a pair of conveyors 1a, 1b are processed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic palletizer capable of automatically stacking objects sent by a conveyor (for example, corrugated board, products manufactured in a line, etc.) on a pallet at high speed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a high-speed automatic palletizer capable of automatically stacking objects sent by a conveyor on a pallet at high speed has not been developed yet.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above conventional problems and provide an automatic palletizer capable of automatically stacking on a pallet at high speed.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a pair of conveyors on both sides of the end of each of the conveyors, and rails provided substantially parallel to the conveyors and movably supported along the rails. And a pair of conveyors for placing an object on a pallet by a pair of conveying devices consisting of an arm capable of advancing and retracting at a right angle to the arm and a means for grasping the object provided at the tip of the arm. It proposes an automatic palletizer.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An automatic palletizer of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an automatic palletizer of the present invention, which comprises a pair of conveyors (1
a) Carriers (4a) (4) provided at the end of (1b)
b).

The rails (5) of the conveyors (4a) and (4b) (hereinafter, one of the conveyors (4a)) is provided substantially parallel to the conveyors (1a) and (1b) on both ends of the conveyors (1a) and (1b). However, the other transport device (4b) is also provided). The rail (5) is provided with an arm (6) movably supported along the rail (5) and capable of advancing and retracting at a right angle thereto.

Rotating means (7) is provided at the tip of the arm (6).
A suction means (8) as a means for grasping the object (2) is provided via the. On the other hand, a pallet (10) is installed in front of the ends of the conveyors (1a) (1b).

The functions of the automatic palletizer of the present invention shown in the above embodiment are as follows. Ie conveyor (1a)
The object (2) is sent by driving (1b).

When the object (2) is sent by one of the conveyors (1a), the carrier (4a) moves the rail (5) and the arm (6) moves back and forth to adsorb the object (2). Adsorb at (8). Next, the carrying device (4a) carries the object (2) to a predetermined position on the pallet (10) and sets it in a predetermined direction to release the suction.

As a result, the object (2) is moved to the pallet (1
0) will be placed on top. On the other hand, the conveyor (1
When the object (2) is sent in b), the other transport device (4b) transfers the object (2) to the pallet (1) in the same manner as described above.
Place on top of 0).

That is, the transporting devices (4a) and (4b) are activated to process the object (2) on the pair of conveyors (1a) and (1b).

[0012]

The embodiment of the automatic palletizer of the present invention is as described above, and its effects are listed below. (1) Since the automatic palletizer of the present invention has a pair of carrying devices, it can be activated to process an object quickly. (2) Since the automatic palletizer of the present invention has a pair of transporting devices, it can be activated to cope with speedup of the conveyor.
