Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for taking out tiles from a sagger body, in which fired tiles are mechanically taken out from the sagger body.

Conventionally, the operation of removing the fired tiles from the sagger body was done manually, which resulted in poor work efficiency and required a lot of manpower, which interfered with the flow of the automated line in tile production. Since the removal work is usually carried out while the tiles have not yet been sufficiently cooled, the work environment is significantly deteriorated by the heat emitted by the tiles, and such removal work is very hard work.

In view of these drawbacks, the present invention provides a clamping mechanism that removably clamps the sagger body filled with tiles after firing on a transport path, and an intermittent rotation mechanism that controls the rotation of the clamping mechanism at predetermined angle intervals. A polymerization device is provided, and the polymerization device changes the posture of the sagger body to an upright state so that the tiles inside are stacked vertically, and the tiles are stacked in front of the opening of the sagger body whose posture has been changed. A side plate facing one side of the tile, a clamp arm that removably clamps the upper and lower surfaces of the tile, and a receiving device equipped with an intermittent rotation mechanism that controls the rotation of the side plate and the clamp arm at predetermined angles are provided. Tiles from the sagger body are inverted by a receiving device, the tiles are transferred to the side plate and the clamp arm, the sagger body is separated, and the tiles are then clamped and housed in the case body.

The upper arm 7.7a is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise by an appropriate rotary drive means while being pivotally supported in an 80 degree phased state.
On the same axis of the support shaft 5, a hook-shaped lower arm 9.9a having a receiving plate 8 facing the lower surface of the sagger body 2 at the tip is arranged so as to control the intermittent rotation by 180 degrees. The lower arm 9.9a is pivoted to the upper arm 7.
．． The upper arm 7.7a and the lower arm 9.7a are similarly controlled intermittently in 90 degree increments in the counterclockwise direction by an appropriate intermittent rotation driving means provided separately from the upper arm 7.7a and the lower arm 9.7a.
A clamping mechanism 10 is configured to releasably clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the sagger body 2 between the receiving plate 8 of the upper arm 7.7a, and the upper arm 7.7a, ! : An intermittent rotation mechanism 11 is configured to rotate the lower arm 9.9a intermittently at a predetermined time difference, and the sagger body is conveyed to the clamping position 12 at the end of the conveyor 1 by the clamping mechanism 10 and the intermittent rotation mechanism 11. 2 is held between them, and the tiles T are intermittently rotated forward by 90 degrees, so that the tiles T inside the sagger body 2 are vertically overlapped, and the posture is changed to an upright state.

In addition, the transfer conveyor 13 is moved to a height position corresponding to the lower surface of the sagger body 2 whose posture has been changed to an upright state in front of the polymerization device 4.
is arranged so that the sagger body 2 transferred in an upright state on the transfer conveyor 13 is placed and transferred, and at the end of the transfer conveyor 13 there is a sagger body 2 facing the opening 3 of the sagger body 2. A side plate I4 is provided opposite one side of the polymerized tiles T inside the sagger body 2, and a side plate I4 is provided at the upper and lower ends of the side plate I4.
A pair of clamp arms 15 and 16 are arranged so as to face the upper and lower surfaces of the tile T, and one clamp arm 15
is located inside the sagger body 2 and is attached so as to be slidable up and down by a cylinder 17, etc., and the other clamp arm 16 is positioned so as to protrude downward from the outside of the sagger body 2 from the lower end of the side plate 14, These side plates 14 and clamp arms 15
．． 16 constitutes a clamping mechanism 18 that can be freely clamped and removed from the tile 'r inside the sagger body 2, and the clamping mechanism 18 is horizontally disposed in front of the transfer container 13.
An intermittent rotation mechanism 20 is provided, which supports the clamping mechanism 18 so as to be rotatable in a phased state of 0 degrees, and controls the clamping mechanism 18 to rotate intermittently every 90 degrees by appropriate rotational drive means. A receiving device 21 is configured.

Further, a sagger body take-out conveyor 22 for placing and conveying the sagger body 2 to the next process is disposed at a position 180 degrees rotationally phased from the receiving device 21 with respect to the transfer conveyor 13. Below the rotated position, a case body 23 for accommodating the tile T and a product take-out container 24 for placing and conveying the case body 23 are disposed, and a cylinder 25 is provided below the starting point of the product take-out con hair 24.
An elevating device 26 is provided to control the elevating and lowering of the case body 23 on the product take-out container 24 to the orbit of the clamping mechanism 18.

Next, the operation of the system for taking out tiles from a sagger body according to the present invention will be explained. When the sagger body 2 taken out after the firing process is sequentially conveyed by the conveyor 1 and reaches the terminal clamping position 12, The lower arm 9.9a rotates intermittently by 90 degrees with respect to the upper arm 7.7a waiting at this position, and the presser plate 6 of the upper arm 7.7a and the lower arm 9.9
The sagger body 2 is clamped by the receiving plate 8 of a, and then the upper arm 7.7a and the lower arm 9.a are held while maintaining this clamping state.
9a is simultaneously rotated intermittently through 90 degrees, and the held sagger body 2 is transferred to an upright state on the transfer container 13, and after the transfer is completed, the lower arm 9.9a is rotated intermittently through 90 degrees, thereby transferring the sagger body 2. The pinched state is released.

The sagger body 2 transferred to the transfer conhair 13 is transferred a predetermined distance in an upright state by the action of the transfer conhair 13, and when it reaches the end, it comes into contact with the holding mechanism 18 waiting at that position and stops. Due to the action of the cylinder 7, the sagger body 2 and the tile T are once clamped by the clamp arms 15 and 16, and as the clamping mechanism 18 rotates intermittently by 90 degrees, the sagger body 2 and the tile 1' are held against the side plate. 14 and clamp arms 15 and 16, and in this state, it is intermittently rotated again and rotated and transferred to a position 180 degrees phased with respect to the transfer conveyor 13. At this point, by simultaneously operating the cylinders 17 and releasing the clamping state of the clamp arms 15 and 16, only the tile T is transferred onto the clamp arm 15 and the sagger body 2 is separated. The separated sagger body 2 is transported to a predetermined location and recovered by the action of the sagger body removal conveyor 22.

On the other hand, the tile ']' transferred onto the clamp arm 15 is moved to the clamp arm 15 again by the operation of the cylinder 17.
16, and then as the holding mechanism 18 is intermittently rotated 90 degrees again, the transfer conveyor 13 is held 270 degrees.
Then, the case body 23, which is waiting below the position, is raised by the action of the lifting device 26 and fitted to accommodate the tile T held between the clamp arms 15 and 16. At this point, the cylinder 17 is actuated again to release the clamp arms 15 and 16, so that the tile 'r is loaded into the case body 23. After loading is completed, the case body 23 is lowered and the product is removed from the container 24. When placed on top, the case body 23 loaded with the quill '1' is removed by the action of the product take-out container 24.
It is transported to the next subsequent process.

In the embodiment shown in the top drawing, the separation of the sagger body 2 was performed at a position 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the transfer container 13, but the sagger body 2 is clamped, transferred, and tightened by an appropriate take-out device at a position 90 degrees out of phase with the transfer container 13. You can do it as you like.

In short, the present invention comprises a clamping mechanism IO that removably clamps the sagger body 2 on the conveyance path of the sagger body 2 filled with tiles 1 after firing, and an intermittent rotation control system that controls the rotation of the clamping mechanism 10 at predetermined angles. A polymerization device 4 equipped with a rotation mechanism 11 is provided,
By using the polymerization device 4, the posture of the sagger body 2 is changed to an upright state so that the tiles 'I' inside are stacked vertically, so that the tiles 1' which are in a jumbled state inside the sagger body 2 after firing are changed. By vertically overlapping and aligning the tiles T, it is possible to ensure a state in which the tiles T can be easily held mechanically in the next step, and one of the overlapping tiles T can be placed in front of the opening 3 of the sagger body 2 whose posture has been changed. A receiver equipped with a clamp arm 15.16 that releasably clamps the upper and lower surfaces of the quill 1' and the side plate 14 facing each other, and an intermittent rotation mechanism 20 that controls the rotation of the side plate 14 and the clamp arm 15.16 at predetermined angles. A device 21 is disposed, and the receiving device 21 inverts the sagger body 2 so that the tile 1 is attached to the side plate 14 and the clamp arm 15.
．． 16, the sagger body 2 is separated, and then the tile T is sandwiched and housed in the case body 23. Therefore, in the process of inverting the sagger body 2 in an upright state, the sagger body 2 is separated. It is possible to mechanically separate the tiles 1 and 1, and it is also possible to send the sagger body 2 and the tile T to their respective accumulation locations in ms. It is possible to perform all operations for taking out the tile T mechanically by simply performing the operation, and it is possible to make the process of taking out tile 1'' correspond to a series of automated lines, and it can greatly contribute to labor savings in such work.
