Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a replenishing device for replenishing a plate-shaped body in a stocker.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, in a plate-shaped material supply device in which plate-like objects such as labels stacked in the stocker are continuously taken out one by one from the bottom of the stocker and transported to the destination, The plate-shaped body is replenished according to the remaining amount of the plate-shaped body.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When replenishing the plate-shaped body to the stocker, conventionally, a large number of plate-shaped bodies grasped in the hand were dropped from the upper part of the stocker into the interior, so that there was a problem that refilling was extremely troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a replenishing device capable of efficiently replenishing a plate-shaped body to a stocker.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, in the device for replenishing plate-like members to the stocker in which the stacked plate-like members housed inside are taken out one by one from the bottom, the above-mentioned stocker , A plurality of replenishment stockers arranged at required intervals in one direction, a moving means for moving the replenishment stockers toward the facing position of the stockers, and a plate-like body housed inside each replenishment stocker. A plate-like replenishing device configuration was adopted, which includes a lid that supports and releases the support of the plate-like body when the supplementary stocker is placed on the stocker.

[0006]

With the above configuration, when the plate-shaped body in the stocker becomes small, the replenishment stocker containing the plate-shaped body is moved toward the stocker, and the replenishment stocker is arranged on the stocker. By doing so, the lid releases the support of the plate-like body, so that the plate-like body in the replenishing stocker falls and the plate-like body can be replenished in the stocker.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, below the stocker 1, there is a take-out device 10 for taking out the plate-like bodies A stacked in the stocker 1 one by one from the bottom and conveying them to a destination. It is provided.

The take-out device 10 is provided with a fitting groove 12 into which one plate-shaped body A can be fitted, on an outer peripheral portion of a rotary table 11 that supports the plate-shaped bodies A stacked in the stocker 1. When the rotary table 11 is rotationally moved and the fitting groove 12 passes below the stocker 1, the plate-shaped body A is fitted into the fitting groove 12 and is conveyed in the circumferential direction of the rotary table 11. ing.

A stocker table 20 is provided above the stocker 1 as a moving means for the replenishment stocker. The stocker table 20 has a drive shaft 21, and the drive shaft 21 is rotationally moved by a drive device 22.

The stocker table 20 has an outer peripheral portion facing the upper opening of the stocker 1, and a plurality of replenishment stockers 23 are provided at equal intervals on the outer peripheral portion.

The replenishment stocker 23 has a cylindrical shape, and an opening 24 that extends vertically is formed on one side of the replenishment stocker 23. The plate-like body A is inserted into the lower portion of the replenishment stocker 23 with a hand on the plate-like body A. I'm supposed to get it.

Below the stocker table 20, a circular lid body 30 that supports the plate-like bodies A housed in the replenishment stockers 23 is provided. The lid body 30 is attached to a member (not shown) so as to be fixedly arranged, and the lid body 30 is provided with a drop opening 31 through which the plate-like body A can pass at a position corresponding to the upper opening of the stocker 1. ing.

A sensor including a light emitting element 40 and a light receiving element 41 is provided above the stocker 1. The sensor detects the remaining amount of the plate-shaped body A in the stocker 1, and the detection signal is input to the control device 42. When the sensor detects that the uppermost plate-like body A has descended from the mounting position of the sensor, the control device 42 operates the drive device 22 to move one replenishment stocker 23 to a position facing the drop opening 31. The stocker table 20 is rotated.

Now, the plate-like bodies A in the stocker 1 are continuously taken out one by one from the lower part of the stocker 1 by the operation of the take-out device 10, and the uppermost plate-like body A in the stocker 1 is located at the position of the sensor. When the temperature is further lowered, the sensor enters a light-transmitting state, and its detection signal is input to the control device 42. The control device 42 actuates the drive device 22, and the operation of the drive device 22 causes the stocker table 20 to rotate and move to the position where the replenishment stocker 23 to which the plate-shaped body A has already been supplied faces the drop opening 31.

When the replenishment stocker 23 faces the drop port 31, the plate-like body A in the replenishment stocker 23 falls into the stocker 1 from the drop-out port 31 and the plate-like body A is replenished in the stocker 1.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the stocker table 20 is rotationally moved by the drive device 22 so that the replenishment stocker 23 is aligned with the drop opening 31 to replenish the plate-shaped body A to the stocker 1. Although the automatic stocker is shown, the stocker table 20 may be manually rotated to replenish the stocker with a plate-shaped body.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a plurality of replenishing stockers 23 are arranged in a circle, and the plate-like bodies A housed in the respective replenishing stockers 23 are arranged in one circular lid 30. Supported by, but is not limited to. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of replenishment stockers 23 are attached to a stocker support 50 that is moved in one direction at equal intervals in the moving direction of the stocker support 50, and a plate-like member is provided below each replenishment stocker 23. A lid 30a supporting A is provided so as to be openable and closable, and the lid 30a of the replenishment stocker 23 arranged on the stocker 1 includes a pinion 52 driven by a motor 51 and a rack 53 provided on the lower surface of the lid 30a. You may make it open by meshing.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the replenishing device according to the present invention, by moving a plurality of replenishment stockers in one direction and disposing one replenishment stocker on the stocker, the plate-like body in the supplementary stocker is placed in the stocker. Since it falls, it is possible to efficiently replenish the stocker with a plate-shaped body.
