The transfer belts 91 are separated from each other in the transfer direction C so that the transfer direction T is perpendicular to the transfer direction C. It is configured to extend to a packaging machine in the next process. The transfer belt 91 is made of a resin having a material hardness lower than that of the resin plate P and having elasticity. As is well known, the transfer belt 91 is hung between pulleys and driven by a motor or the like to travel.

In FIG. 7, reference numerals 11 and 12 denote feed rollers rotatably mounted on the apparatus frame 20 above the movable positioning member 73 described above. The lower feed roller 12 is arranged such that the upper portion thereof is substantially at the same height as the upper surface of the horizontal portion 23 b of the receiving member 23, and the upper feed roller 11 is arranged so that the resin plate P can be pressed between the lower feed roller 12 and the lower feed roller 12. Is done. At least one of the feed rollers 11.12 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown) or the like.

In this embodiment, the resin plates P formed by the molding machine are conveyed one by one by a transfer conveyor, and the resin plates P are sandwiched between the feed rollers 11 and 12, and these rollers 11 , 12 rotations. Here, when the resin plate P is received, the chuck mechanism 30 is at a position where the receiving member 23 is close, and the transfer direction positioning mechanism 50 is in a state where the fixed positioning member 61 is projected above the transfer conveyor 90. .

The resin plate P is connected to the rollers 11,
12 to move in the transport direction C to receive the receiving member 23.
(See FIG. 3). At this time, the guide plate 31 is provided on the horizontal portion 23b of the receiving member 23, and since the guide plate 31 guides the front edge of the resin plate P, the resin plate P is securely placed on the horizontal portion 23b of the receiving member 23. Can be mounted.

Next, when the resin plate P is placed on the horizontal portion 23b of the receiving member 23, the transfer direction positioning mechanism 50
The movable positioning member 51 moves forward toward the fixed positioning member 61, and is positioned in the transport direction T with the resin plate P interposed between the positioning members 51 and 61. Then, in this state, the chuck mechanism 30 moves in a direction in which the receiving member 23 is separated. Therefore, the resin plate P falls on the transfer conveyor 90 with the positioning members 51 and 61 as guides.

Here, the resin plate P is connected to the positioning member 5.
The first and second guides are used as guides to align the side edges.
The sliding member 61 is dropped on the transfer conveyor 90 while sliding. Therefore, the position of the resin plate P in the transfer direction T does not shift, and the resin plate P falls onto the transfer conveyor 90 while maintaining the position aligned by the alignment members 51 and 61.

When the resin plate P falls on the transfer conveyor 90, the movable positioning member 73 of the transport direction positioning mechanism 70 moves forward and presses the edge of the resin plate P. For this reason, the resin plate P is positioned in the transport direction C. At this time, the resin plate P slides on the transfer belt 91 of the transfer conveyor 90 in a direction orthogonal to the transfer belt 91,
Since the transfer belt 91 is made of resin, the resin plate P can be prevented from being damaged.

When the resin plate P falls on the transfer conveyor 90, the chuck mechanism 30 approaches the receiving member 23 to prepare for receiving the next resin plate P. The receiving member 23 rotates the motor 28 in one direction. To separate and approach.
That is, since the crank mechanism 25 is interposed between the receiving member 23 and the motor 28, the receiving member 23 separates and approaches by rotation of the motor 28 in one direction. Therefore, the motor 28
It is not necessary to perform control such as reversing the control, and the control process can be simplified.

Thereafter, the sequentially conveyed resin plates P are stacked on the transfer belt 91 of the transfer conveyor 90 as described above. When a predetermined number of resin plates P are stacked on the transfer conveyor 90, the fixed positioning member 61 of the transfer direction positioning mechanism 50 is immersed below the transfer conveyor 90, and then the transfer conveyor 90 is operated. The predetermined number of resin plates P stacked and transported are transferred to the next step.

As described above, in this embodiment, the resin plates P continuously supplied one by one are stacked in a state where the resin plates P are aligned and aligned at a predetermined number without bothering the operator. In this stacked state, the transfer conveyor 90
Can be transferred to the next step. For this reason, the number of man-hours can be reduced, and it is not necessary to secure a primary stock place.

In the above-described embodiment, the resin plate P successively conveyed is placed on the receiving member 23, is positioned by the transfer direction positioning mechanism 50, and is then moved in the separating direction. Conveyor 90 for transferring plate P
Although it is stacked on top, only the first resin plate P
It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the positioning is performed above, the receiving member 23 is kept separated, and the second and subsequent resin plates P are directly dropped on the transfer conveyor 90 and stacked.

Also in this embodiment, the transfer direction positioning mechanism 5
Since the position of the resin plate P can be adjusted by the zero alignment members 51 and 61, the position of the resin plate P does not significantly shift. In particular, when the object to be stacked is a corrugated sheet having unevenness, this aspect is effective because the unevenness is fitted and the alignment is naturally performed when stacking.

[0040]

As described above, according to the plate-like body loading / loading apparatus according to the present invention, the plate-like body to be conveyed is held by the chuck mechanism, and the positioning mechanism is held by the chuck mechanism. After the plate is positioned between the movable positioning member and the fixed positioning member, the plate is dropped on the transfer conveyor using the positioning member as a guide, and a predetermined number of plate members are stacked on the transfer conveyor. In order to transfer the stacked plate to the next process by the transfer conveyor, the plate transferred from the molding machine or the like can be continuously and automatically stacked and transferred to the packaging machine, etc., thereby reducing the number of work steps. In addition, a primary stock place or the like can be eliminated.
