Abstract

PURPOSE: To sort conveyed objects simply, surely, and continuously by crossingly protruding sorting pieces on a slant conveyance path when sorting upward the conveyed object flowing on the slant conveyance path, and lowering the sorting pieces when sorting it downward. CONSTITUTION: When a rotary triangle body 2 is rotated by a motor 12, rollers 6 are rolled on the outer periphery of a fixed cam 1. When a conveyed object 13 is to be sorted upward, for example, a pair of sorting pieces 3 are moved on the slant upper side 1a of the fixed cam 1, the sorting pieces 3 are crossingly protruded on a slant conveyance path 9 through the void section provided on the slant conveyance path 9, and the conveyed object 13 is moved on the rotary belt 8 of the protruded sorting pieces 3 and conveyed to an upper conveyor 11. When the conveyed object 13 is to be sorted downward, the rotary triangle body 2 is rotated, the sorting pieces 3 are lowered from the slant upper side of the fixed cam 1, and the conveyed object 13 on the belt 8 of the lowered sorting pieces 3 is also lowered together and conveyed downward.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for allocating articles to be used for categorizing, for example, bookbinding conveyed by a belt conveyor by type in a bookbinding workshop or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional device for sorting articles such as bookbinding conveyed by a belt conveyor according to type,
For example, when the goods flowing on the belt arrive at the distribution table, the distribution table is rotated up and down or left and right,
Since it was a structure that distributes to the belt conveyor prepared for each type, it was troublesome to calculate the pitch of the conveyed goods,
I was dissatisfied that it took time to sort.

[0003]

In view of the above situation, according to the present invention, when sorting a conveyed object flowing on an inclined conveying path, the conveyed object to be sorted downward is directly downward on the inclined conveying path. In addition, in the case of an article to be sorted upward, a distribution piece having pulleys at both ends is projected in a cross shape on the inclined conveyance path, and the distribution piece is conveyed upward on a rotary belt hung on the pulley. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for distributing conveyed objects, which can easily and surely perform the distribution of conveyed objects without performing complicated pitch calculation of the conveyed objects.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the apparatus for distributing articles according to the present invention is arranged so as to face each other with a fixed cam having an inclined upper side and a fixed cam interposed therebetween. A pair of rotating polyhedrons, one end pivotally attached to the shafts connecting the apexes of the two rotating polyhedrons facing each other, and a pulley having pulleys provided at both ends, and a shaft connecting the opposing polygon It is equipped with a roller that can roll on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam and an endless belt that can be hung on each pulley.Therefore, the rotating polygon is rotated by the motor, and the roller rolls upward on the upper slope of the fixed cam. When it moves, the sorting piece corresponding to that roller passes through the gap part of the transport path and can project in a cross shape on the above-mentioned slanted transport path, and when the roller descends from the upper slope of the fixed cam, Sorting pieces response also is obtained so as to descend.

[0005]

According to the apparatus for sorting articles to be conveyed according to the present invention,
When the conveyed object is sorted upward, the rotary polygon is rotated and one set of the sorting pieces is moved upward along the upper slope side of the fixed cam. After passing through the section and projecting in an intersecting manner on the inclined conveyance path, the conveyed article is conveyed upward via the rotary belt of this sorting piece. In addition, when sorting the conveyed items downward, by rotating the rotating polygonal body and lowering the sorting pieces from the upper side of the inclination of the fixed cam, the transported articles on the belt of the descending sorting pieces are also collected. And will be conveyed downward. Therefore, it is possible to easily and reliably continuously perform the sorting of the transported objects without performing a complicated pitch calculation of the transported objects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An apparatus for distributing conveyed articles according to the present invention will be described. In the figure, 1 is a fixed cam having an inclined upper side 1a, 2 is a pair of rotating triangular bodies arranged facing each other with the fixed cam 1 in between, and 3 is a connecting top portion and a top portion of both rotating triangular bodies 2 facing each other. Is a distribution piece having one end pivotally attached to a shaft 4 and pulleys 5 provided at both ends, 6 is attached to a shaft 7 connecting the distribution pieces 3 facing each other, and the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam 1 is rotated. A movable roller, 8 is an endless belt hung on each pulley 5, 9 is arranged above
10 is an inclined transport path provided at two places, and 11 is an upper transport conveyor. Therefore, the rotating trigonal body 2 is connected to the motor 12
When the roller 6 is rotated by the roller 6, the roller 6 rolls on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam 1. For example, when the conveyed article 13 is sorted upward, one set of the sorting pieces 3 is placed above the inclined upper side of the fixed cam 1. When it is moved to, the sorting piece 3 passes through the void portion 10 provided in the slanted conveying path 9 and projects in an intersecting manner on the slanted conveying path 9, and the article 13 is conveyed by the projecting sorting piece 3. Is transported to the upper transport conveyor 11 via movement on the rotary belt. Further, when the conveyed article 12 is sorted downward, the rotary triangular body 2 may be rotated and the sorting piece 3 may be lowered from the upper inclined side of the fixed cam 1. In the figure, 14 is a motor for rotating the endless belt 8, 15 is a spring for preventing the sorting piece 3 from popping out, and 16 is a column. In addition, a sensor for identifying the type of the conveyed product on the inclined conveyance path 9 is provided, and the motor is electrically controlled by the signal from the sensor,
The rotary trigonal body 2 is rotated according to the type of the transported object. Further, in this embodiment, the triangular shape is used,
Of course, it may be another polygon.

[0005]

As described above, according to the apparatus for distributing conveyed articles according to the present invention, when the conveyed articles flowing on the inclined conveying path are distributed, the conveyed articles distributed upward are arranged on the inclined conveying path. Project the sorting piece in a cross shape,
In addition, since the conveyed goods to be distributed downward are arranged such that the sorting pieces are lowered from the inclined conveyance path, the distribution of the conveyed goods can be performed without complicated pitch calculation of the conveyed goods.
It can be carried out easily and surely continuously, and the remarkable effects such as labor saving and speeding up of the processing work can be achieved.
