Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a plate transfer tool used when transporting stacked plates to another location.

When large quantities of tableware are used in cafeterias, etc., and when dishes of the same shape are washed all at once, dozens of plates are stacked and transported manually when moving to a washing area, sorting area, or work area. It is.

However, most of the people involved in this transportation work were part-timers or women, and due to their inexperience and weak muscles, the plates would often turn over during transportation, causing damage.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a plate changing device that can transport stacked plates in a stable state.

Next, the present invention will be explained based on the embodiment shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a cylindrical body forming the main body of the transfer tool, and the cross section is slightly larger than the plate 4 and has a similar shape.

On the lower circumferential surface of the cylinder 3, a holder claw 2 is pivotally supported on a receiving part 10 so that the tip thereof can be rotated into and out of the cylinder through a cut groove 9 of the cylinder 3.

The holder claw 2 rotates and protrudes into the cylindrical body, but when a certain angle is reached, the base end of the holder claw 2 comes into contact with the back plate of the receiving part 10 to prevent downward rotation.

The holder claws 2 are arranged in at least three thin groups at equal intervals on the side wall of the cylindrical body 3, so that the plate 4 can be supported stably.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a receiving arm, which is installed on the upper end surface of the cylindrical body 3, and locks the plate filled in the cylinder from above, and also holds the plate filled in the cylinder from above.
This prevents the dish from being ejected from the top edge.

7 is a moving handle, which is attached to the cylinder body 3;
It serves as a handle to facilitate movement of the cylinder.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and its usage will be explained in conjunction with the transfer from an automatic washing device to a tray receiver on a workbench.

The dishes 4 discharged from the dish washing source and drying device are pushed up onto the discharge port by a push-up mechanism 1 installed below the discharge port.

A claw holder 2' similar to the holder claw 2 of the main transfer tool is arranged at the discharge port, and is used to stack and stack the plates 4 that have been successively pushed up.

Therefore, when the transfer tool of the present invention is placed on the discharge port, the holder claw 2 is pressed against the blood rim and rotates to be retracted from the blood rim, and the dish 4 is pushed up from below.
There is no problem in entering the cylinder 3, but if the blood relation is pushed further upwards, it will no longer be secured to the iron part, and the holder claw 2 will reverse under its own weight, protrude deeply into the cylinder 3, and rotate at a constant angle. Therefore, even if the thrusting blade of the pushing-up mechanism 1 disappears, the plate 4 inside the cylindrical body 3 is retained by the holder claw 2.

After the cylinder 3 is filled with the tray 4 in this state, the moving handle 7
The transfer tool is lifted and carried by grasping the handle, but at this time, the holder claw 2 sufficiently supports the plate 4 inside the cylinder 3, preventing the plate 4 from falling downward, and also preventing the plate 4 from falling downward. Since the uppermost plate is pressed by the receiving arm 11 on the upper end surface of the plate 3, it is possible to prevent the plate from being released from above, and therefore the stacked plates are held between the upper and lower peripheries and can be transported safely and easily.

Next, the plate 4 housed in the cylinder 3 is transferred to the plate receiver 6 of the workbench 8. The plate receiver 6 has a diameter sufficient to accommodate the plate 4, and has a slightly shorter diameter than the cylinder 3. In addition, a spring 5 is installed inside the cylinder, and the elastic force of the spring 5 is set so that the uppermost part of the housing is located at the upper end surface of the tray receiving cylinder 6.

Therefore, when the transfer tool is fitted into the tray receiver 6, the upper end surface of the tray receiver 6 pushes up the holder claw 2 from below, and the support of the tray 4 is released, so that the tray 4 of the cylinder body 3 is moved into the tray receiver. fell within 6,
The elasticity of the spring 5 allows it to be smoothly transferred to the tray receiver 6.

If the dish is not linked to a washing device or the like, if the stacked plates 4 are covered from above with the holder claws 2 protruding into the cylinder 3 and then lifted, the holder claws 2 will rotate upward during the coating. When at rest, it is inverted within the cylindrical body 3, engages and supports blood relatives, and becomes ready for transportation.

Furthermore, by manually rotating the holder claw 2 toward the non-cylindrical side at a predetermined location and lifting the transfer tool, the plate 4 can be retained at the predetermined location.

As described above, the present invention is a useful device that allows stacked plates to be safely and easily transferred to another location.
