【発明の詳細な説明】
この発明はコンベヤ駆動チェーンの延び検出装置に関す
る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a conveyor drive chain elongation detection device.
天井や床等を移動する駆動チェーンにハンガーやキャリ
ヤ等を取イ1けて物品を搬送するコンベヤにおいては、
駆動チェーンが使用により次第に延びていき、この延び

位置に関係する制御や処理対策に与える影響が大きいの
で、市時延びを検出しておく必要がある。Conveyors transport goods by attaching hangers, carriers, etc. to a drive chain that moves on ceilings, floors, etc.
The drive chain gradually elongates with use, and this elongation is an indicator of the service life of the drive chain. Particularly when the chain is several hundred meters long, it is necessary to detect the length of the chain because the length has a large effect on control and processing measures related to the position of the conveyed items.
しかし、これまで、かかる用途に簡易に使用しうる検出
装置は見当らなかった。However, until now, no detection device that can be easily used for such purposes has been found.

ットスイッチ又は光電素子を用いることができる。In the present invention, an object to be detected that has been removed from the conveyor drive chain with a certain pinch is detected by detectors installed at the reference position on the entrance side and the reference position on the exit side of the conveyor, and the use of the drive chain is started. Sometimes, the reference position is set so that both detectors emit detection signals at the same time, and the phase difference between the rain detection signals when the chain is extended is calculated by calculating the dl number by the number of pulses generated in synchronization with the chain movement. The length of the drive chain is displayed on the display according to the numerical value. As the object to be detected, a hanger, carrier, dog, various axotiment, etc. connected to the drive chain can be used, and as the detector, various contact type or non-contact type limit switches or photoelectric elements can be used.

ヤの運転m1画の立案、実行に甚だ有益である。Therefore, according to the present invention, the extent of deterioration and aging of the chain can be known by reading the length of the drive chain from the display device, thereby making it easier to predict and determine when it is time to replace the chain. This is extremely useful for planning and executing conveyor operation plans.

パルス発信器7を用いる。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In FIG. 1, a conveyor drive chain 1 has a driving chain wheel 2 and a driven chain wheel 3.
and move in the direction of the arrow. Reference numerals 4 and 5 denote an entrance side detector and an exit side detector provided at reference positions near the entrance q and exit (zJ) of the conveyance path, respectively, to detect the hanger 6 attached to the chain 1.The hanger 6 is, for example, a chain link 20
The positions of both detectors 4 and 5 are determined so that the detectors 4 and 5 simultaneously detect the hanger 6 when the chain 1 starts to be used. As a pulse generation source, a pulse generator 7 is used which rotates in synchronization with the driving chain wheel 2 and generates a pulse for each link.

数をもって表示することができる。FIG. 2 shows the operation chart 1, where a is a pulse signal from the pulse transmitter 7, and b is a detection signal from the detectors 4 and 5 at the beginning of use of the chain 1, which are generated at every pitch p of the hanger 6. When the chain 1 is extended, the detection signal b of the detector 5
5 advances the detection signal b4 of the detector 4 by a phase α proportional to the extension, so the pulses al generated during the time t corresponding to the phase α are counted, and the lamps 9 of the lamp array display device 8 are counted.
By lighting up or counting, the length of the chain can be displayed in terms of the number of links.

して実用上充分な検出精度を得ることができる。When the chain 1 is extended, the phase difference between the detection signal b5 of the detector 5 near the pulse transmitter 7 and the pulse a is almost constant, and the detection signal b4 of the detector 4 has a large phase shift with respect to the pulse a. Since, the number of pulses al is relatively stable for the same extension. However, in a long drive chain,
Since the overall extension is estimated by the extension of the intermediate section, if the detectors 4.5 are provided at the reference positions at both ends of the section, the phase difference between the Mi detection signal b5 and the pulse signal a will vary greatly depending on the extension. Therefore, the number of pulses al can vary for the same length. However, if the length and position of the section are appropriately selected, it is possible to obtain practically sufficient detection accuracy for purposes such as determining when to change the chain and controlling the position of conveyed objects.

The signal b5 is input to the counter 11 via the waveform shaping circuit 10, and the counter 11 generates a set of pulses a using the signals b5 and b4 as a counter start signal and a count stop signal, respectively.
