Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a peer-type conveying device for articles having through holes,
The present invention relates to a device for moving articles from horizontal to vertical direction or from vertical to horizontal direction.

The pin-type conveyor itself is already well known, but this invention transfers articles from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction with respect to the pin-type conveyor device of the type that moves on the same vertical plane, which the applicant has already provided. This device was developed as a device unique to this device because of the need to transfer articles from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction. In contrast to the method of scooping with a pin, a device is provided specifically for scooping items from a prone position.

It should be noted that it is also possible to transfer the article from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction using the same device.

The configuration of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

First, Figures 1 and 2 show the basic technology of the present invention, which targets the movement of articles from the horizontal direction to the vertically upward direction or from the vertically upward direction to the horizontal direction. It is composed of a pin-type conveyor A and a horizontal conveyor B that intersects with it orthogonally.

The vertical pin-type conveying device A includes a frame 1, a chain 2 running inside the frame 1, and conveying pins 3 carried upward and downward by the conveying chain 2.
It consists of.

On the other hand, the conveyor device B consists of two sheets that are arranged horizontally close to each other, facing the above-mentioned conveyance chain 2, and provided with a gap 5 so that the conveyance pins 3 on the conveyance chain 2 can pass through. It consists of a conveyor belt (4, 4') and means (not shown) for driving this belt (4, 4') in the forward or reverse direction.

In the basic technique described above, instead of the conveyor device B, a somewhat inclined chute (not shown) may be used, or a horizontal plate-like chute (not shown) equipped with a pusher means (not shown) may be used. ) may be used.

That is, in this basic technology, the article A conveyed on the conveyor belt 4° 4' is scooped onto the upward conveying pin 3 on the upward conveying chain 2 running in the orthogonal vertical frame 1. The articles I, which are either latched and carried to the upper position or held on downward conveying pins on downward conveying chains running in the vertical frame 1, are placed on the conveyor belt 44'; It is possible to pull out the article A from the pin 3 moving downward and transport it to a predetermined position in the horizontal direction.

However, with the basic technology, it is difficult to reliably insert and lock the article A into the pin 3, and the article I pulled out from the pin 3 remains in an unstable position (for example, easily falling while standing) and is placed on the conveyor belt. 4, 4' and may be transported, so the device cannot be said to be sufficient.

FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which an article insertion means C is attached to the frame 1 of the device according to the above-mentioned basic technology, making it possible to transport articles more reliably and stably. .

In this case, the object is primarily the movement of the article from the horizontal direction to the upward direction.

The article insertion means C includes two rollers 6 which are fixedly installed on the frame 1 described above, straddling the conveyance chain 2, and have a gap in the center through which the upward conveyance pin 3 passes.
．． 6', its swing arm 7, 7' and stoppers 8, 8'
It consists of

That is, the insertion roller 6.6' serves to press the article I lifted by the upward conveyance pin 3 against the base of the conveyance pin 3.

In this case, the insertion roller 6.6' can rotate and can also move up and down slightly.

In addition, even when removing the article A from the pin 3 that moves downward,
Due to the presence of the above-mentioned insertion roller 6.6', the conveyor belt) 4,
When the article A placed on the container 4' is conveyed to the left in FIG. 3, the article A is placed in a face down position, so that it can be conveyed stably.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and unlike the first embodiment, which uses a conveyor means as a horizontal conveyance means, this apparatus uses a chute system. It is.

It consists of a pin-type conveyance device A, a chute device B', and an article insertion means C/.

The pin-type conveyance device A includes a frame 1 and a conveyance chain 2.
and a conveying pin 3.

The chute device B' consists of a main body 9, guides 10, 10', and a cut groove 11 at the center of the tip.

The insertion means C' consists of two rollers 12, 12', a swinging arm 13, 13' and a fulcrum 14. fixed to the frame 1.
It consists of 14'.

Note that the stopper for the insertion means is omitted in the drawings.

As explained above, the present invention provides for attaching pins along a conveyor frame having an arbitrary shape to a chain that circulates endlessly within the frame at predetermined pitch intervals and with the tip thereof protruding from the frame. A pin-type conveyance device for articles having a through-hole, in which a large number of pins are attached, and the tip of each pin is inserted and latched into the through-hole of the article to convey the article,
a conveying means such as a chute or a conveyor belt which is closely opposed to the frame of the vertical running portion of the pin and has a gap in the center of the frame-side end through which the pin can pass; and a frame above the frame-side end of the conveyance means. and is rotatably supported at the tip of a swinging arm whose tip is swingable toward and away from the frame, and whose base is pivotally supported so as to always approach the frame; Since the article is provided with an article insertion roller that straddles the travel path of the pin and rotates in contact with the article to press the article toward the frame side when the article is held and conveyed by the pin, the article can be held in the most stable manner. It can be supplied in a prone position, and the positional relationship of the constituent parts is extremely flexible depending on the shape and size of the product, and adjustments are not required for slight changes in model number. do not.

Furthermore, the article can be moved very easily and reliably from horizontal to vertical or from vertical to horizontal.

Furthermore, the device has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
