BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is intended to slide articles into a conveyor from the side and transfer the articles onto the conveyor, which is suitable for collecting and conveying articles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional collection / conveyance will be explained, for example, in the case of collecting and conveying a packaging bag containing clothes or the like, as shown in FIG. 4, it is conveyed by a sorting conveyor C having a large number of trays T tiltable to the side. The packaging bags A are tilted leftward or rightward at the sorting position and sorted and loaded on the supporting plate S prepared at the sorting position. When the loaded packaging bags A are stacked in a predetermined number, the supporting plates A are stacked. S is opened and is dropped into the sorting box B on the stand D located below the support plate.

A sorting box B containing a predetermined number of packaging bags A is loaded onto the collecting and conveying conveyor M from the right or left side of the collecting and conveying conveyor M located below the sorting conveyor C. It will be shipped to.
An empty box B for supply is prepared for the trolley E.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since the conveying direction of the collecting and conveying conveyor M and the inserting direction of the sorting box B that is loaded from the stand intersect, the sorting box B that has been loaded does not move. Not only the conveying posture on the collecting and conveying conveyor M is disturbed in an oblique direction or sideways direction, but also there is a possibility that it may not be transferred to the central position on the collecting and conveying conveyor M and fall from the side edge of the collecting and conveying conveyor M during conveyance. Further, when the sorting box B on the mounting table D is loaded on the collecting and conveying conveyor M, the supporting plate S is located above the mounting table D, which is an obstacle to loading, as can be understood from the figure. However, there is a problem in that the loading operation to the collection and transportation conveyor M is hindered.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, according to the present invention, the lower surface of a transfer table having a transfer surface that appears in and out of a transfer surface of a transfer conveyor and intersects the transfer direction of the transfer conveyor is provided in front of and behind the transfer direction. A pair of tilting fulcrum pedestals are provided, and a pair of tilting fulcrum supporting rods for movably supporting the respective tilting fulcrum pedestals are erected, and a seesaw-shaped swinging rod is arranged below the transfer table. A transfer table lifting member for tilting the transfer table around either of the pair of tilt fulcrum pedestals is provided upright at both ends of the swing rod, and further, the seesaw type swing rod is provided with The problem of the prior art described above is solved by connecting a pedal-type swing actuating rod to the end portion.

[0006]

Operation: The transfer table having the pair of tilt fulcrums supported by the pair of tilt fulcrum support rods is supported by immersing the transfer surface under the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor, and the seesaw type rocking is performed. When one end of the rod is rotated upward, the transfer table push-up member on the one end side pushes up one end of the transfer table. Therefore, the tilt fulcrum cradle on the one end side. Is lifted up from the tilt fulcrum support rod on one end side and separated, and the tilt fulcrum pedestal on the other end side is supported by the tilt fulcrum support rod on the other end side while the other transfer table is being supported. Inclining around the tilt fulcrum pedestal on the end side. Also,
When the other end of the seesaw type swing rod is rotated upward,
The transfer table tilts in the opposite direction.

Therefore, by selectively tilting the transfer table to both sides to make the transfer surface of the transfer table float above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor, articles such as sorting boxes that are input from the side are placed on the stand. By transferring from the top onto the transfer table and removing the external swing force from the seesaw type swing rod, the tilting fulcrum pedestal that floated on the transfer table returns to the position supported by the tilting fulcrum support rod and is transferred. The table is supported in a horizontal position, the transfer surface of the transfer table is immersed under the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor, and the article on the transfer table is transferred onto the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor and is unloaded.

[0008]

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a conveyor 1 is a roller conveyor in which a roller 1A is rotationally driven at a fixed position as shown, or a narrow belt (not shown). A belt conveyor in which the conveyors are arranged side by side in multiple rows may be used.

Further, on the upper surface of the transfer table 2, a plurality of rotatable rollers or balls such as balls which are projected and retracted between the rollers of the conveyor 1 or between narrow belt conveyors.
A transfer surface having A is formed, and the transfer direction of the rolling element 2A intersects the transfer direction of the transfer conveyor 1.

Further, a pair of saddle type tilting fulcrums pedestals 2 are provided on the lower surface of the transfer table 2 so as to be spaced apart in the front-back direction of the transfer direction.
A pair of tilt fulcrum support rods 3, 3 for supporting B and 2B are erected on the base or floor F, and their tips 3A and 3A are supported in the saddle-shaped recesses of the saddle-shaped tilt fulcrum bases 2B and 2B. However, it does not matter if the tips 3A, 3A are saddle-shaped upwards and the tilting fulcrums 2B, 2B are downward-projected rods.

A seesaw type swing rod 5 extends in the transfer direction on a support rod 4 which is erected on the base or the floor F, and is swingably supported by a horizontal shaft 4A. Pushing rods 5A, 5A of the transfer table 2 are respectively provided upright at both ends of the table 5.

In order to support the swing rod 5 in a horizontal posture, a pair of elastic support members 6, 6 such as coil springs or rubber columns of equal length are erected on the base or floor F. Has been done. The seesaw-type swing rod 5 has pedal-type swing actuating rods 7, 7 at both ends.
Are connected to each other, and the intermediate positions of the operating rods 7, 7 are rotatably supported by pedestals 8, 8 erected on a base or floor F.

Therefore, when the free end of either one of the pedal type swinging operating rods 7 and 7 is stepped downward, the seesaw type swinging rod 5 swings to tilt the transfer table 2.

That is, in FIG. 2, when the right pedal type swinging operating rod 7 is stepped downward, the right end of the seesaw type swinging rod 5 is lifted as shown by the chain line, and the right transfer table pushing rod 5A is moved. Mount the table 2 to the left tilting fulcrum cradle 2B
Since the transfer table 2 is pushed up with respect to the center, the transfer table 2 tilts upward and the rolling element 2A on the transfer surface floats above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor 1.

Then, the article A on the table D on the right side is pushed to the left and the rolling element 2A at the floating position of the transfer table 2 is pushed.
Transfer to the top. At this time, since the rolling elements 2A project from the transport surface of the transport conveyor 1, interference with the transport direction of the transport conveyor does not act, so that the posture of the article A on the transfer table 2 is normally maintained.

Moreover, the large number of rolling elements 2A on the transfer table 2 can smoothly transfer the article A from the mounting table D onto the transfer table 2. When the article A is transferred onto the transfer table 2, the transfer table 2 is pushed up when the external force stepping on the pedal-type swinging operating rod 7, for example, the stepping force by the foot of the worker is removed. The right side is lowered and the right tilt fulcrum pedestal 2B is supported by the tip 3A of the right tilt fulcrum support rod to return to the horizontal posture, and the rolling element 2 of the transfer table 2 that has floated above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor 1.
Since A is immersive, the article A on the transfer table 2 is transferred to the transport conveyor 1 and carried out.

When the article A on the left side table D is to be transferred onto the transfer table 2, if the tip of the left pedal type swinging operating rod 7 is stepped down and pushed down, the seesaw type swinging rod 5 is moved. Since the left end is lifted and the transfer table pushing rod 5A on the left side lifts the left side of the transfer table 2, the transfer table 2 is tilted to the upper left centering on the tilting fulcrum cradle 2B on the right side and placed on the transfer table. Since the rolling element 2A is floated above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor 1, the articles can be loaded and transferred onto the transfer conveyor 1 from the left side.

[0018]

According to the present invention, since the lower surface of the transfer table is detachably supported by the pair of tilt fulcrum support rods and the tilt fulcrum pedestal, which are spaced from each other in the transfer direction, the left and right sides of the transfer conveyor are supported. It can also be tilted to the side, and the fulcrum that is the center of tilt is transferred by the left and right tilts of the transfer table.Therefore, even if one end of the transfer table is pushed up, the other end is not pushed down. Due to the tilting of the loading table, the transfer surface of the transfer table, which floats above the transfer surface of the transfer conveyor, is increased, and stable transfer / transfer of the articles can be realized, and the transfer of the articles is selectively performed from both sides of the transfer conveyor. It is possible to load the articles, and the articles can be transferred and carried out by adjusting the loading attitude of the articles. Further, by connecting the seesaw-type swinging rod to the pedal-type swinging operating rod, the upper part of the article stand D To Figure 1 Even if there is an obstacle as shown in the figure, it is possible to load and transfer articles from the side of the conveyor by stepping on them.
