JPS552523A - Apparatus for automatically feeding stacking boards - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide an apparatus for automatically feeding stacking boards, in which a region capable of storing many groups of stacking boards is formed in the vicinity of stacker, whereby it is enabled to keep the level of stacking boards in the stacker always higher than a required level.

CONSTITUTION: When level of stacking boards of group α, received in stacker 8, is lowered and it is detected by level detector 9, longitudinal slide carrier bar 26 is shifted through the distance of one stroke to shift only the stacking boards of group α, aligned at the extreme left end in pooling region P, through a distance corresponding to the pitch between lines of stacking board groups and thus to feed them into stacker 8. When a first row of stacking boards of group α are all carried into stacker 8, it is detected by detector 11 and pusher plate 6 is shifted through a distance corresponding to the pitch between each row of stacking board groups, whereby other stacking boards of group α, remaining in the region P, are all carried to the position of slide carrier bar 26. By repeating a series of procedures as above described, it is enabled to automatically replenish the stacking boards.
