Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an article conveying device, and in particular, it is capable of conveying articles such as parts, units, semi-consumables, products, etc. in lots of several, tens, or hundreds of pieces at a time. Regarding the equipment.

The bare system is often used for photographic equipment such as cameras and videos, and copy machines.

11 [Articles sent by the belt conveyor system come in one or two rows, are taken out one by one by a bottle or takeout means such as a manual X-ray automatic hand, and are incorporated into the equipment.

Conveyance using this belt conveyor system is a hindrance when the conveyance work is long < 1 kS and plans are made to increase the density of each assembly machine and various types of I&T machines in a factory, or when plans are made to automate the process from conveyance to assembly of goods. .

An object of the present invention is to provide an article conveyance device suitable for automation of article conveyance.

j! According to the present invention, articles are stored in containers by lot, and the articles in the containers are sequentially conveyed to the removal position, thereby preventing the length of the conveyance process from increasing and increasing the concentration within the factory. provide equipment for obtaining

Another object of the present invention is to provide a conveying device that can convey a large amount of articles stored in the container at once when sending them to an assembly process.

The present invention achieves the above-mentioned object by arranging nine magazines for holding one or more articles, and by arranging a plurality of the magazines in a flat manner and stacking the nine magazines in a stacked manner. It can be configured by a combination of means for preparing nine containers in which the articles are stored in the container, transporting the articles in the containers, and sequentially moving the containers to the outlet position of the articles.Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention An example will be explained in detail with reference to the figures.

Figures 1a and 1b show a magazine 2 holding one or more articles [b, lc], and the articles may be parts, semi-finished products, semi-finished products, or finished products.

The articles 1a, lb, and 10 are placed in the magazine 2 to prevent them from being placed incorrectly or falling off the top of the magazine while being transported, and to be automatically loaded with an automatic hand or the like when taking out the articles. It needs to be kept so that it can be retrieved. Therefore, the locking bins 2b, 2b,
... and hold the article with this locking bottle. Further, the magazine 2 may hold a plurality of articles of the same kind, or may hold a plurality of articles of different kinds.

Figure 2, #Is diagram shows a container 4 that stores the magazine 2, and the edges of 5 sides 4b and 4a of the 4 sides on one plane of this container 4 are enclosed to prevent the magazine 2 from falling. Then, insert and remove the magazine 2 using the remaining 4dk on one side.

In the container 4, magazines indicated by symbols 2M, 2B, . . . -27 are arranged side by side, and a separation protrusion 4 is provided in the center. One end 4f of this separation protrusion 4 serves as a passage for moving the magazine in the left column in the second figure to the right column (by the shift cylinder 141).

The container 4 is stacked with 9 storage shelves 4mm...4H
t) Two magazines arranged on the top storage shelf 1.
...2J is a 2mm magazine to 16mm> parts *
) The tapes are released one after another on the tape 17.

@4 figure This is means for moving the container 4 upward. This moving means includes support plates 8mm, 8B, 8C, and 8D, mounting frames 10mm and 10B on which the containers 4 are placed, and a drive that moves the mounting frames 10mm and 10BK from the lower stage to the upper stage. It further comprises a drive means 14 for driving the drive chains 12M and 12B. The drive means 14 includes a gear 14 that meshes with the drive chain 12, a rotating shaft 14B, and a Geneva gear 140.
．． @ Consists of vehicle convoy 14D, drive motor 141, etc.

Next, the operation and transportation method of the above embodiment will be described.

First, the articles to be transported are held in a magazine 2, and this magazine 2 is transferred to each storage machine 4...4H of the container 4.
Then, as shown in FIG. 2, they are arranged in parallel.

The container 4 is placed in the aforementioned placement frame 10mm/10 of the moving means 14.
8 Place K. The magazine 2 on the container placed on the moving means 14 is installed at a position (height) k at which the scissors magazine 2 is automatically taken out by an automatic hand. The magazines on the container are 2m, 2D, 20.
Pressing 2B will take you out of the 2nd room.

When the magazine 2m is released, the magazines 2B, 2C, etc. on the tray 4m are moved by the shift cylinders 16m, 14B, 160 in Figure #I2. That is, when the first magazine 2 at the top is removed,
The 2D magazine is pushed by the shift cylinder 16m, and the magazine 2B is taken out from the uppermost storage shelf O to the take-out position (the position of the taken-out magazine 2m). When the magazine 2D in the top right row is pushed in the upward direction of the arrow by the shift cylinder 16m, the space in the magazine 2D becomes empty and the shift cylinder 1dll' (16m on the 2F
The gazine is pushed out from the left row to the right row (arrow B) K through the passage 4f on the tray. Next, the left column magazine 2J is pushed in the direction of arrow C by the shift cylinder 140. Then magazine 2B is taken out and the shift cylinder is moved to 16mm.

1411.160 forces the 20 magazines to the ejection position on the container. After that, take out the magazine (Jlj) and shift cylinder 16mm/16B/I
Due to the pushing action of the SO, the magazines 2mm to 2mm on the storage rack of the container are sequentially transferred in the directions of arrows M, B, and C, and the weirs and unloading are performed. When all the weaving operations for the magazines 2M to 2J in the uppermost stage in the container 6 are completed, a power supply circuit (not shown) of the 1MIIk motor 141H of the drive means 14 operates to supply power to the motor through the single row of teeth 14D. The gear 14C rotates, and the rotating shaft 14B and the gear 14M turn a predetermined angle F, rotate the drive chain 12M, 12B, push the container 6 up to a predetermined height, and move the second storage shelf 4B to the magazine removal system. Exit position (X) Move K. *Move to the eject position b, eject the magazine 2 on the storage shelf 4B, and repeat the magazine shift to process the second magazine. As described above, the present invention uses a magazine for holding one or a plurality of articles, a plurality of magazines arranged in a row, stacked, and stored in nine containers, and the containers are moved by a moving means. It is configured to move sequentially to the bottle ejecting position of the magazine. This eliminates the inconvenience and disadvantage of using a belt conveyor as in the past by holding the article in a magazine during the article processing process, storing it in a container, and transporting the cough container to the next article processing process, assembly worker 11. can do. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to transport a large amount of articles from one article processing step to the next at one time, so it is possible to effectively utilize the site area within the factory. If containers are moved vertically up and down instead of horizontally, space in the factory can be utilized more effectively.
