[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for connecting two belt conveyors and transferring the goods on one conveyor onto the other conveyor.

[Background of device]

As a device for transferring a conveyed product on a belt conveyor to a predetermined place, conventionally, a suction head is generally used to adsorb the conveyed product, and then this is moved to a predetermined place, where the adsorption is released. In many cases, a transfer device is used in which the suction head is moved again onto the conveyor.

By the way, there are cases where it is necessary to transfer the conveyed product from one of the two independently provided belt conveyors to the other. In this case, when the conveying speed of the belt conveyor is high, the transfer is performed. It is difficult to transfer a conveyed product using the device.

This is because the transfer speed of the transfer device of this type is generally low, and therefore the transfer speed cannot keep up with the transfer speed of the belt conveyor.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a transfer belt 104 is arranged so as to extend between the two belt conveyors 100 and 102, and the transfer belt 104 is provided on one belt conveyor 100. It is conceivable to transfer the conveyed product 106 onto the other belt conveyor 102.

However, in order to receive the transported object 106 on one conveyor 100 on the transportation surface of the transfer belt 104 and transfer it to the other conveyor 102, as shown in FIG. The transfer belt of one of the conveyors 100 is passed through the belt 104, and the transfer surface of the transfer belt 104 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the transfer belt of the other conveyor 102 so that the transfer belt 104 is transferred. Therefore, the installation work of the transfer belt 104 becomes extremely difficult.

Moreover, once the transfer belt 104 is provided, when it becomes necessary to change the receiving position of the conveyed product 106 from the conveyor 100 and the delivery position to the conveyor 102, or vice versa, the conveyor 102 moves to the conveyor 100. When it becomes necessary to transfer the conveyed product 106 to, it becomes difficult to deal with it.

Furthermore, when the transfer from the conveyor 100 to the conveyor 102 becomes unnecessary, it becomes difficult to remove the transfer belt 104.
