Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce noise and energy loss and to enhance the durability of a conveyor device, by planting resilient filaments on the opposing surfaces of a pair of parallel support plates in the inlet and outlet section of the latter, such that the resilient filaments are slightly inclined, and by reciprocating one of the support plate. CONSTITUTION:When a support plate 2 is reciprocated in the directions of the arrow and articles A to be transferred are introduced into between the layers of resilient filaments 3 in the inlet section 8 of support plates 1, 2, the articles A are fed rightward in association with the outgoing movement of the support plate 1 due to the force of the filaments 3. When the support plate 2 returns, the articles A are subjected to the resistance of the resilient filaments 3 on the support plate 1 to be inhibited from returning. At this time the layer of the filaments 3 on the support plate 2 may smooly slide over the articles A so that it may smoothly return since the filaments 3 are slightly inclined in the transfer direction. The articles A in the intermediate place 10 where no filaments are planted on the support plates, are pushed forward by the following articles A, and are then subjected to the similar action by means of the resilient filaments 3 in the outlet section of the support plates. With this arrangement, it is possible to reduce noise and energy loss, to eliminate the necessity of maintenance and inspection so that it is possible to aim at enhancing the durability of the conveyor device.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a conveying device having a large number of standing elastic filaments.

By supporting a support plate having a large number of standing elastic filaments called flocking brushes, brush-like members, flexible bristles, etc. via an elastic body such as a leaf spring or coil spring, and vibrating this support plate. A vibrating conveyance device that conveys a conveyed object placed on the above-mentioned elastic filament is well known.

All of these known vibration conveyance devices vibrate the support plate in a direction that intersects with the support plate, causing the conveyed object to dance and convey vibration, so that the vibration energy of the drive source is used to fully convey the conveyed object. It cannot be said that it is used for this purpose, and it has the disadvantage of large energy loss. Furthermore, since the support plate is vibrated through an elastic body, vibration noise is generated during operation of this device, which is a cause of noise. Furthermore, due to the above-mentioned elastic support, the support structure is relatively complicated, and since it is vibrated,
It has the disadvantage that damage due to elastic fatigue occurs quickly, and the above-mentioned energy loss and noise generation increase over time, which requires frequent inspection and maintenance of the device.

In view of the drawbacks of the vibrating conveyance device, the present invention uses a support plate having a similar number of upright elastic filaments to simplify the support structure, thereby reducing loss of drive energy and noise. Instead, it is an object of the present invention to provide a conveying device having a novel elastic filament that can withstand long-term use, reduces the need for inspection and maintenance, and reduces costs.

For this reason, in the present invention, a pair of support plates are arranged in parallel,
On the inside of each support plate, a large number of elastic filaments standing upright at the entrance and exit positions are provided facing each other, and there are no elastic filaments at appropriate positions in the middle, and each of the elastic filaments shown in It is characterized in that it is tilted slightly toward the conveyance direction rather than upright, one of the support plates is fixed, and the other support plate is reciprocated in the conveyance direction of the conveyed object.

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 and 2 are support plates, and these support plates 1 and 2 have
A large number of brush-like elastic filaments 3 are erected at both end positions, which are the entrance position 8 and the entrance/exit position 9 of the conveying device. The elastic filaments 3 may be directly flocked to the support plates 1 and 2, or may be fixed in advance by being flocked in a carpet-node shape. As shown in FIG. 1, the elastic filaments 3 are erected at a slight angle from the direction in which they stand upright with respect to the support plate.

In the illustrated embodiment, the lower support plate 1 is fixed on a fixed base 4, and the upper support plate 2 is arranged in parallel with the lower support plate 1 at a constant distance. For this purpose, upright walls 5,5 are provided on both sides of the fixed lower support plate 1, and a support roller 6.6 is pivotally supported on the inner side of the upright wall 5.5. The upper support plate 2 is placed thereon. In this state, the elastic filaments 3,3 provided on each support plate 1.2 are arranged inside and face each other, and each elastic filament 3.3 is oriented in the direction of conveyance to the conveyed object. It is.

Further, in the present invention, as described above, the elastic filaments 3.3 are provided at the inlet position 8 and the outlet position 9 of the I shrimp feeding device, and the elastic filaments 3.3 are provided at the intermediate position 1.
0 is provided with an elastic filament to allow the conveyed object to stay at this intermediate position 10. For this purpose, the illustrated embodiment has a protrusion 11.11 for placing and guiding the conveyed article at the intermediate position 10, and has a smooth upper surface. The pushing action of the conveyed object is made smooth, thereby creating a bottom surface 12.12 with a low coefficient of friction.The height of the protrusions 11, 11 is greater than the height of the elastic filament 3 of the lower support plate 10. It is configured to be slightly lower, thereby making it possible to smoothly move from the elastic filament 3''2 to the protrusion 11''2 and from above the protrusion 11 to the elastic filament 3 at the exit position. This protrusion 11.11 is necessary when the height of the elastic filament 3 of the lower support plate l is relatively high, but it is not necessary when the elastic filament 3 can be configured to be extremely low. In this case, a flat bottom surface may be used as a bottom surface with a low coefficient of friction.

In the present invention, a drive source (not shown) is connected to the upper support plate 2.
The upper support plate 2 is reciprocated in the direction of transporting the object. This drive source may be a crank device using a drive motor or a reciprocating cylinder. Although FIG. 2 shows an apparatus for conveying objects in four lines, it may be arranged in one line.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, a horizontal conveying device is shown, but an inclined conveying device may also be used. In the figure, reference numeral 13.13 denotes a partition provided on the lower support plate 1 in order to form a multi-row conveyance device.

In the apparatus of the present invention constructed as described above, the support plate 2 is reciprocated as shown by the upper arrow in FIG. When A is sent, the conveyed object A is pushed to the right by the elastic filament 3 when the upper support plate 2 moves forward, moves on the elastic filament 3 of the lower support plate 1, and moves onto the support plate 2. During the return movement, the elastic filaments 3 of the lower support plate 1 prevent the return operation to the conveyed object, and the elastic filaments 3 of the upper support plate 2 rub against the conveyed article A.
to stay in the pushed position. The object to be transported is pushed and transported each time the support plate 2 moves back and forth.

In this way, when the conveyed article A is sent to an intermediate position where there is no elastic filament 3, the conveyed article A is retained at this position. The next conveyed article A is sent in the same manner, and this first conveyed article A pushes out the above-mentioned accumulated conveyed article. When the conveyed objects sequentially fed in this way reach the exit 11 position, they are similarly fed by the elastic filaments 3, 3 provided at this position and are sent out from the exit.

According to the device of the present invention, which has the structure and function of a diagonal top, there is no need for elastic support of the support plate, and the lower support plate can be fixed and the upper support plate can be supported in parallel to enable reciprocating operation. Therefore, the support structure is simple, and the device can withstand long-term use without causing elastic fatigue of the elastic body used for elastic support. As a result, it has the advantage of being able to reliably feed the conveyed object and reduce energy loss, and since it is a simple reciprocating operation, there is little operating noise, which is a great advantage of reducing noise. have In addition, the device of the present invention eliminates the need for elastic support, thereby reducing the need for inspection and maintenance of the device, and further reduces costs by having a structure that does not include an elastic line in the intermediate position. It has a good effect.
