Abstract

PURPOSE:To support the weight of a conveying container by means of an outer and an inner endless chains during lowering and to enable smooth lowering of the conveying container, by a method wherein, in addition to front fulcrums at both sides of the conveying container, rear fulcrums at both sides of the conveying container form a travelling link, and a stopper, which controls swinging of each of such travelling links, is provided. CONSTITUTION:When travelling links 29, serving as rear fulcrums, make contact with a rear stopper 30 when a conveying container 9 is in a vertical lowering stroke, the weight of the conveying container 9 is supported by a rear travelling support axle 31 through the travelling link 29. Thus, the weight is applied on outer endless chains 8a and 8b coupled to the support axle to expand the chains. This causes shortening of a distance of the endless chain between the front and rear travelling support axles 24 and 31, decreases a load applied on a stopper 30 by dint of the rear travelling support axle 31, and instead thereof, a travelling link 23 being a rear fulcrum makes contact with a stopper 20. As a result, a load is applied on a front travelling support axle 24 to expand inner chains 8c and 8d. This causes expanding of the inner and outer endless chains 8a-8d, and enables the conveying container 9 to be lowered without the occurrence of any trouble through prevention of the endless chain from running off a sprocket.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention efficiently and trouble-freely removes bulk materials such as grains, soil, etc., or agricultural products such as grain fruits, oranges, apples, coffee beans, wheat, potatoes, and corn. The present invention relates to a conveying device for conveying the objects without causing problems. 1) Problems with the prior art a) For example, if the device of the present invention installed in a factory has the same coloring as other conventional factory equipment, it is difficult for factory visitors to It is possible that the performance of the products produced in the factory, or the order in which they are produced, may be completely unknown.b) a) When transporting products, etc., in other words, if the target load is perishables, etc. First of all, it should be taken into consideration that the conventional transport equipment equipped with gold M transport valleys is used without changing the collection site [7 is at the time of shipping, and there is no possibility of irregular loading or excessive loading. If you do so, there is a risk of damaging the object. Once the loaded item is damaged, part of it will naturally stick to the wall inside the transport container and cause damage to other parts.
Otherwise, it will contaminate other loaded items. What remains on the inner surface of the transport container will cause decomposition over time, or even if it does not decompose, it will stain the next load to be loaded. C) This type of conveyance device is difficult to install, and has difficulty in the attachment structure between the parallel four-strand endless chain and the conveyance container, and when the conveyance container is moved to the chain wheel at the upper end, for example, In this case, the endless chain becomes an arc, and the distance between the front and rear support shafts of the transport container becomes a straight line distance connecting both ends of the arc, which is shorter than the distance between the front and rear support shafts, which poses an obstacle to the passage of the transport container. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish it, and also to always equalize the elongation due to wear and tear of the chain. In order to make the installation work easier, it must be possible to shorten or expand the installation distance between the front and rear of the transport container. d) Efficiently and continuously transport bulk materials such as powder, granules, and sand vertically. Conventionally, the lower horizontal I&Z transport section, the vertical transport section, and the upper horizontal transport section are connected together, and the endless chain that rotates in an S-shape and the transport container attached to it keep the transported objects in a horizontal state to prevent them from falling. 2) Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is intended to transport a series of soft bulk materials such as oranges in addition to earth and sand. This relates to a continuous sparrow feeding device f# that can be transported and whose frame is colored so that it can be clearly identified from a distance. 3) Structure and operation of the present invention In order to explain the above in detail, we will briefly describe the structure and operation of the present invention with reference to FIG. To explain, 1 in the figure is S
The frame of the conveyor assembled in a mold, 2 and 3 are lower and upper end chain wheels, 4, 5, 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b are chain wheels at the intermediate bending part, four chain wheels coaxially, 2, 3,
4 and 5 are pivotally supported, and an endless chain 8a with four parallel threads is attached to this.
8b, 8c, and 8d are wound, and the chain wheels 6a and 7b are two chain wheels coaxially, and the chain wheels 6b and 7a are parallel shafts with the middle part of the shaft removed to allow the passage of the transport container 9. Supported by chain wheel 6a,
7a has outer endless chains 8a, 8b and chain wheels 6b, 7b.
inner endless chains 8c and 8d are respectively wound around the outer endless chains 3a and 8blCJ; rt, respectively, by the drive device 10,
The chain wheel 3 at the upper end is driven and the frame 1 with 9 transport containers is
It is circulated inside. Note that 11 is a lower article supplying device, and 12 is an upper article receiving device. In the above, intermediate chain wheels 6a and 6b and 7a and 7
b is the same distance as the distance l between the front fulcrum and the rear fulcrum of the transport container 9! During the transport process, regardless of whether it moves horizontally or vertically, the transport container 9 always maintains an upward position and moves, and after passing through the chain wheel 3 at the upper end and reversing and moving to the return process. , it moves in a downward position in the upper and lower horizontal parts, and in an upright position in the vertical descending part, and is reversed again at the lower end chain wheel 2 [7] and returns to the upward position and moves on to the conveyance process. By the way, if the front and rear fulcrums of the transport container 9 and the transport container front and rear attachment parts of the endless chain are directly connected with the same distance j, the chain wheel 2.3.4.5 of the reversing part of the transport container will
While the endless chain forms an arc along the circumference of the chain wheel, the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the transport container of the endless chain is a straight line distance #I/' connecting both ends of the arc, which is shorter than that, and if this continues, the transport container will not be able to pass through. In order to deal with this problem,
As a conventionally used technology, the front part of the transport container
At the fulcrum, a floating link 13 as shown in FIG.
．． 5, the idler 1 nonch 13 tilts as shown in the figure to correspond to the shortening of the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the transport container of the endless chain. In this way, smooth passage of the transport container through the reversing section is possible at 17, but another problem arises here. That is,
As can be understood from FIG. 1, the horizontal driving force of the transport container 9 and the weight of the transport container 9 during the vertical return stroke K are all caused by the outer endless chain ll directly connected to the rear fulcrum of the transport container.
an inner endless chain 8 which is borne by
During the vertical upward movement of 8d, only a portion of the vertical weight of the transport container 9 is borne.
The inner endless chains 8b and 8b extend before the inner endless chains 8c and 8d, causing trouble in engagement with the chain wheel, and furthermore, the endless chain loosens and comes off the chain wheel, and the conveying container tilts at the vertically rising part. On the other hand, when examining the prior art from the viewpoint of the suspension method of the conveying container, it is found that in the conventional conveying device, the connection mechanism between the container 2 and the chain is such that the bin extended from the chain side is connected to the container side. Either the bottle is fitted into the receiving part of the chain, or the bottle extended from the container side is fitted into the receiving part provided in the chain. It is designed to support. First, although this device initially functioned as designed and there was no dissatisfaction with the supporting engagement between the two, in this case as well, after prolonged use, the container If uneven wear begins to occur on the receiving part due to rocking, deviation, etc., the degree of uneven wear will further worsen during long-term operation. In most cases, this was extremely inadequate from a safety point of view. In order to eliminate this inconvenience, in addition to the conventional floating links at the front supports on both sides of the transport container, the rear supports on both sides of the transport container are also equipped with swing links 17, and all stoppers are provided to restrict the swinging of each of these swing links. Therefore, a method is conceivable in which the weight of the transport container when it returns vertically is received by the endless chain that is in contact with the stober. For example, when the floating link of the rear fulcrum comes into contact with the rear fulcrum, the load is transferred from the rear floating pivot to the outer endless chain, and as time passes, the outer endless chain tends to expand and the distance between the transport container attachment parts of the endless chain tends to shorten. , the load acting on the stroke bar of the regulating member is reduced [2. Instead, the floating link of the front support comes into contact with the stroke bar, applies a load to the inner endless chain of the front floating support shaft, and causes it to expand; In this way, the extensions of the outer endless chain and the inner endless chain act to complement each other, and the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the transport container can be shortened or expanded, so that To provide an attachment device for a transport container that is compatible with the shortening of the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the transport container, and allows for easy adjustment of attachment during construction of a new joint between the transport container and the endless chain.
- This will lead to smoother operation of the transport machine, 1) Prevent machine failure troubles, and simplify the work of installing the transport container. Referring to FIG. 17, FIG. 2 is an overall side view of an S-type conveyor L7 equipped with a transport container locking device according to the present invention, and its structure and operation are similar to those in FIG. 1 except for the transport container locking device. It is similar to the conventional type 8 conveyor shown in Fig. 1, and the common components are given the same numbers [2, and the explanation of the common components will be omitted to avoid duplication. Figure 3 is a perspective exploded view showing the engagement between the transport container and both the inner and outer chains, Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional side view of the front fulcrum, and Figure 5 is a longitudinal side view of the rear fulcrum. The container 9 is formed into a boat shape from a steel plate, and a receiving plate 14 made of an elastic material such as rubber is provided protruding from the rear surface of the main body. - This overlaps with the front part of the adjacent transport container 9, and the transported object falls from the gap between the front and rear transport containers.

[7] Prevents adhesion to endless chains etc. and wear of drive parts. The bottom surface is cut out into a square shape as required, and a bottom plate made of an elastic material such as rubber is attached thereto with a mounting frame, etc., and when the transport container 9 passes through the chain wheel 3 at the upper end and is reversed, the chain For example, a pushing roller provided on the rotating shaft of the wheel 3 presses the button 5. If it is possible to discharge the sticky conveyed material by folding it, a single flat bottom plate may be used. The bottom plate used for this transport container and 1 and 7 are rubber plates, a laminated plate with a thin flexible metal plate layered on the bottom of the rubber plate, and a synthetic resin plate with elasticity and good peelability, and the surface is peeled. Peelable elastic plates, such as elastic plates with layers, are used, and these absorb metal noises generated during machine operation, muffling the noise (1), and preventing moisture-containing conveyed objects from adhering (externally) due to their water repellency. Wandering 17, the material being transferred is brought to the center and collected in one place, and when the adhesion on the side wall of the container is not <L during transportation, and when the chain wheel 3 at the upper end is reversed, the discharge supplementary material is It has various effects such as eliminating the adhesion of the bottom part and discharging the conveyed material by its action. 1. A cylinder body with a large diameter may be fitted to the shaft rod for discharging supplementary material, and furthermore, the above-mentioned It is possible to create a kind of vibration effect by providing unevenness on the surface of the cylinder, or it is also possible to apply a separate impact. Figs. 9 and 10 show an example of the deformed state of the container in the reversing section. It is a bracket attached to the front fulcrum position of both side plates of the 17-piece transport container 9, and has a cutout recess 18 L and a stopper 2o at the rear and side of the shaft hole 19 at the bottom to ensure firm transport. It is fixed to the container 9.A floating link 21 is rotatably supported on this bracket 17 by inserting its bottle shaft 22 into the shaft hole 19.As shown in FIG. 2
1 through a bottle shaft 22, a front floating support shaft 24 having a spacer 23 is fixed to the upper end of the floating link 2, and an inner endless chain 8C is engaged with this front floating support shaft 24. ing. 25 is a nant for inserting the inner endless chain 8C into the spacer 23 side and attaching it rotatably. 1. At the rear fulcrum of the transport container 9, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, fix the bracket 26 at the rear fulcrum position of both side plates 1, and insert it into the shaft hole 27 of this bracket 26. A floating link 29 having a fixed bottle shaft 28 at its lower part is rotatably supported. The bracket 26 may be similar to the bracket 17 in the front fulcrum IC, but it has a cutout recess 18' on the front side and is firmly fixed to the side plate of the transport container 9. A stopper 3o having a plane higher than the protruding plane is provided to protrude from the side plate. A rear floating shaft 31 is fixed to the upper part of the floating link 29, and connected to this rear floating shaft 31 is an inner endless chain 8c.
'5I: Arm 3 straddling and extending to the outer endless chain 8a
2 is fixed. A bolt 33 is attached to the outer end of the arm 32.
．． Connect the outer endless chain 8a through Nantes 34.34
Tighten and secure. Reference numeral 35 denotes a hole for inserting and fastening the end of the rear floating support shaft 31 into the hole 36 of the arm 32. In this way, the floating support shafts 24 at the front and rear parts of the transport container 9.
31 are configured to be rotatable via floating links 21 and 29 respectively pivotally supported by brackets 17 and 26, and
Straight lines connecting the support shafts are parallel to the upper end surfaces of the endless chains ga, 8c and the transport container 9, respectively. Moreover, the pivot point of the floating link 21.29 is located below this straight line.The locking device of the transport container is constructed as described above, and when the transport container 9 is in the vertical upward stroke, the Approximately equal vertical loads are applied to the front and rear support shafts, but during the vertical downward stroke, the weight of the transport container 9 is the same as that of the endless chain 13a, B where the floating link 21.29 is in contact with the stocker 20.30.
b or endless chain 8C. You will receive it on either 8d. For example, when the floating link 29 at the rear fulcrum comes into contact with the rear shaft 30, it is supported by the rear shaft 31 via the floating link 29f, so a load is applied to the outer endless chains 8a, 8b connected to the floating link 29f. , and this is extended. As a result, the transport container front and rear support shafts 24.31 of the endless chain
The distance between them is shortened, and the load applied to the support shaft 30 of the rear support shaft 31 is reduced.
comes into contact with the stopper 20 I2, a load is applied to the front floating support shaft 24, and the inner endless chains gc, 8d are extended. I, Therefore, the floating links 24, 29, which rotate under the control of the stopper 20, 30, face the change in the distance M between the floating spindles set to a predetermined value as appropriate. 8d is not forcibly pulled, so it does not interfere with the operation of the following conveyor and the endless chain does not come off the chain wheel. Because of this action, gradual and continuous FC is performed. , 1. Outer endless chains ga, 8b and inner endless chains 8c, 8d
The extensions of the chains are mutually replenished to avoid trouble caused by unbalance or extension of one endless chain, and when the conveyor chain passes through the chain wheels 2, 3, 4, 5 of the reversing section, the endless chain Great for shortening the spacing between TEN's transport container attachment parts! -,
Needless to say, less noise is generated and passage is smoother. Also, suppose that the interval between the attachment parts of the transport container of the inner and outer endless chain is set to 1 smaller than the interval between the front floating support shaft 24 and the rear floating support shaft 31, the floating link 29 is initially set to the stopper 3QVC, and the floating link 24 is set to the stopper. 20, the inner endless chains 8c and 8d extend by first applying a load to the front floating support shaft 24, and correspondingly, the front and rear supporting points of the transport container of the endless chain extend. The distance increases, and the floating link 29 gradually comes into contact with the stopper 30,
Thereafter, the internal and external endless chain extensions can be replenished in the same manner as described above. By the way, if we take a deeper look at the suspension part of the conveyor agitator, we find that, for example, even if the conveyor is configured as described above, there will be problems when loading. The transport container 9 may be prohibited from performing abnormal rocking due to various reasons during unloading or during its reciprocating path.As the frequency of this movement increases, specific wear may occur in the parts that support the transport container 9, especially its bearings. begins to accumulate. In order to simplify the explanation, FIG. 6 shows a partial plan view when the support shaft is extended from the transport container side, and FIG. 7 shows a process FG diagram when the shaft wears out in the bearing. The floating support shaft 36 provided on the outer wall of the transport container 9 shown in FIG. It is supported by the entire contact surface of the semicircle below the cheek center when looking at the X and axis in cross section. By the way, as the frequency of use of the conveying device increases, not only does a clearance occur in the loose fitting support shaft 36 and the chain side shaft hole 37, but as a result of this clearance, for some reason the transport container 9 When the load-supporting surface begins to swing, the surface that supports the load gradually shifts from Fig. 7A to the state shown in Fig. 7B, and finally the form shown in Fig. i7B becomes the normal state, which is extremely desirable from a safety standpoint. It's not a thing. Needless to say, such a phenomenon similarly occurs when the floating support shaft 36 and the shaft hole 37 are provided on the chain side and the transport container, respectively, and it is difficult to repair it when the device becomes larger. The present invention includes the fact that it was completed by considering a packet conveyor that is unlikely to form an unsafe condition, and will be explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a portion of the chain used in the present invention. A hole 40 is bored in the chain link 39 of the chain 38 at an approximately intermediate position, and a pusher 41 is fitted into the hole 40. It is preferable that the pusher 41 is made of strong steel, for example. On the other hand, for example, by fitting a bottle of a conveying container to which a bottle such as that shown in FIG. This means that the load will be applied evenly over the entire width of the mating part, and in combination with the material properties of the Pnoche 41 and/or the bottle at the fitting part, there will be much less local wear compared to conventional conveying devices. It fully demonstrates the effect that the process is carried out smoothly. 4) Description of embodiments of the present invention Next, the above-mentioned conveyance device will be specifically described using the drawings. The conveying device of the present invention, which is rational from a mechanical perspective, requires attention to the following points, especially when considering the conveyance of agricultural products. In other words, first of all, it should be taken into consideration that the target cargo is perishables, and when using this type of conveyance device, there is no change in the collection location. If you do so, there is a risk of damaging the object. Once the loaded item is damaged, part of it will naturally stick to the wall of the transport container, causing breakage of other parts.
〜 will end up contaminating other cargo. Here, the E-organisms remaining on the inner surface of the transport container deteriorate with the passage of time, and even if they do not rot, they contaminate the cargo to be loaded next. Items that were undamaged and in good condition at the time of loading, but which are soiled, will naturally spoil at a faster rate, and even if spoilage does not actually occur, the product value will decline, resulting in a major disadvantage. . Therefore, a sufficient monitoring system is required when operating the conveyance device, but in the case of the present invention, a sight glass is provided in the conveyance container in a longitudinal direction against the belt-shaped container wall, preferably in the normal position, to monitor the loading state of the cargo. The presence or absence of abnormalities can be confirmed relatively early. This sight glass may be made of a material with high transparency (visibility), but if the transport container is made of synthetic resin, it is not necessary to use glass. It is also possible. If you consider the color of the cargo that will actually be loaded and paint the outer wall of the container in different colors or in a clearly distinguishable color, it will be very easy to check the condition of the cargo when monitoring it through the sight glass. It becomes easier to do. On the other hand, it is necessary to apply antibacterial paint to the external members such as the frame or barge that protects the entire transport container, and the walls installed there. When performing this kind of painting, if you apply a highly bright colored coating depending on the objects being handled and loaded, it will give an image of high hygiene management and the freshness of the loaded items, which will greatly improve not only the aesthetic effect but also the advertising effect. You can also expect the secondary effect of doing so. 5) If the continuous conveying device +KL having a configuration exceeding the effects of the present invention is used to convey bulk materials, the main effects other than those mentioned above are as follows: a) A number of conveyances By coloring only one of the containers in a different color, the conveyance rotation speed and conveyance position can be easily checked. In addition to the aesthetic effect, it can be expected to improve all work efficiency, management efficiency, and safety management. C) By making the frame transparent, it is possible to not only check whether the transport container is in operation or not, but also to check the internal packets. You can instantly check whether there is any abnormality in the status of the device. d) Since the transport container and frame of this device are made of synthetic resin material, it is expected to be lightweight, produce large quantities of sweets, and be stored outdoors, and the device can be provided at low cost. etc. can be given.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention can efficiently and trouble-freely store bulk materials such as powder, granules, earth and sand, or products such as grapefruit, oranges, apples, coffee beans, wheat, potatoes, and corn. The present invention relates to a transport device for transporting objects. 1) Problems with the prior art a) For example, the device of the present invention installed in a cement factory may have the same coloring as other existing factory fixtures (if the device is installed in a cement factory, the factory There is a possibility that the performance of the products produced or the order in which they are produced may become completely unknown. b) When transporting agricultural products, etc., first consider that the objects to be transported are perishables. However, the conventional transport equipment equipped with metal transport containers is used when changing the collection location and insulators are being shipped, and improper loading or excessive loading can damage the transported objects. Once the transported object is damaged, part of it will naturally stick to the wall inside the transport container, and other parts may contaminate other undamaged transported objects. Become. What remains on the inner surface of the conveyance container will cause decomposition over time (2, or even if it does not rot, it will contaminate the next conveyed object.C) In this type of conveyance device A related point is that there is a difficulty in the attachment structure between the parallel four-strand endless chain and the transport container, and when the transport container is moved to the chain wheel at the upper end, for example, the endless chain is is a circular arc, and the distance between the front and rear support shafts of the transport container is a straight line distance connecting both ends of the shorter arc, which poses an obstacle to the passage of the transport container. 1. Therefore, it is necessary to take countermeasures against this, and furthermore, it is necessary to always make sure that the elongation due to chain wear is evenly distributed. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the work of attaching the conveyor container even when the chain is unevenly pinched, it must be possible to shorten or expand the distance between the front and rear attachments of the conveyor container. d) In order to efficiently and continuously convey bulk materials such as granules and earth and sand vertically, the conventional lower horizontal conveying section, vertical conveying section, and upper horizontal conveying section are connected together and rotated into an S-shape. 2. Description of the Related Art A conveyance device is known in which an endless chain and a conveyance container attached to the chain ascend while maintaining a horizontal state to prevent the conveyed object from falling. 2) Purpose of the present invention The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is capable of continuously transporting flexible bulk materials such as oranges in addition to relatively light coal, grains, etc. The present invention relates to a continuous conveying device whose casing is colored so that it can be identified very clearly from a distance. 3) Structure and Functional Dimensions of the Present Invention In order to explain the structure of the present invention in detail, 1.

a and 7! ) is a chain wheel at the intermediate bending part, and four chain wheels 2, 3, 4.5 are coaxially supported, and an endless chain 8a. 8b, 8c, sd are wound, chain wheels 6a, 7b
Two chain wheels are coaxially supported, the chain wheels 5b and 7a are supported in parallel with the middle part of the shaft removed to allow the conveyance container 9 to pass through, and the chain wheels 6a and 7a have an outer endless chain 8a, 8b is the chain wheel 6
Inner endless chains 8c, 8d are wound around outer endless chains 8a, 8b, respectively, and the fulcrums on both rear sides of the transport container 9 are wound around inner endless chains 8c, 8b, 7h, respectively. Support points on both sides of the front portion are respectively engaged with 3d, and the chain wheel 3 at the upper end is driven by the driving device 10 to circulate and rotate within the casing 1 containing nine transport containers. Note that 11 is a lower conveyance material supply device;
2 is an upper conveyed object receiving device. In the above, the chain wheels 6a and 6b and 7a and 71) are arranged at the same distance 1 as the distance 1 between the front fulcrum and the rear fulcrum of the transport container 9, and in the transport process of 9 transport containers, the chain wheels 6a and 6b and 7a and 71) are arranged horizontally. Regardless of the vertical movement, the robot always maintains an upward posture.J7 Moves L, passes through the upper terminal chain wheel 3 and reverses] 2 After transitioning to the return stroke K, the upper and lower horizontal parts are in a downward posture, and in the vertical descending part It moves in an upright position, is reversed again at the lower end chain wheel 2, returns to an upward position, and moves on to the conveying process. By the way, if the supporting points of the front and rear parts of the transport container 90 and the front and rear mounting parts of the transport container of the endless chain are directly connected with the same distance l, the chain wheels 2, 3, 4-. In 5, the endless chain forms an arc along the circumference of the chain wheel, while the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the transport container of the endless chain is a straight line distance l' connecting both ends of the arc, which is shorter than that. Passage will be hindered. In order to deal with this inconvenience, as a conventionally used technique, a floating link 13 as shown in FIG. When the chain wheel 23.4.5 completely passes, the free movement/chain 13 tilts as shown in the figure, which corresponds to the shortening of the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the conveyor chain of the -C endless chain. Although in this way a smooth passage of the transport container through the reversal section is possible, another problem arises here. That is, as understood from FIG. 1, the horizontal driving force of the transport container 9 and the transport container 9 in the vertical return
All of the heavy lifting is borne by the outer endless chains 8a, 8b directly connected to the rear fulcrum of the transport container, and the inner endless chains gc, 8d, which are attached to the front fulcrum of the transport container via the floating link 13, are vertically connected. Only part of the vertical weight of the conveying container 9 is borne during the uplift process. Therefore, due to the unbalance of this load, as the conveying time elapses, the outer endless chains 8a. 8b is elongated before the inner endless chains 8c and 8d, causing problems in engagement with the chain wheel, and furthermore, the endless chain loosens and comes off the chain stop, and the conveying container tilts at the vertically rising part of the sway. causing inconvenience. On the other hand, when we examine the prior art from the perspective of the suspension method of the transport container, we find that in the conventional connection mechanism between the container and the chain mounted for transport, the bottle extended from the chain side is fitted into the receiving part on the container side. or a pin extended from the container side is fitted into a receiving part provided in the chain, both of which are designed to support the load over the entire contact surface of the receiving part. It is something that Even if these devices originally functioned as designed and there was no dissatisfaction with the supporting engagement with the container chain, in this case as well, the long-term use of the devices is not satisfactory. As a result, if uneven wear begins to occur on the receiving part due to container rocking or unevenness, the level of uneven wear will worsen during long-term operation. In most cases, it will be close to
From a safety standpoint, this was extremely inadequate. In order to eliminate this inconvenience, in addition to the conventional floating links at the front fulcrums on both sides of the transport container, the rear fulcrums on both sides of the transport container are also made into floating links, and a stopper is provided to restrict the swinging of each of these floating links. Therefore, a method can be considered in which the weight of the transport container when it returns vertically is received by the endless chain that is in contact with the striker. For example, when the floating link of the rear fulcrum comes into contact with the stonopa, the load is transferred from the rear floating shaft to the outer endless chain, and the outer endless chain stretches over a long period of time. If there is a tendency to shorten, the load acting on the stopper of the regulating member decreases 1, and instead, the floating link of the front support comes into contact with the stopper, and the load is applied to the inner endless chain of the front floating support, In this way, the extensions of the outer endless chain and the inner endless chain act to complement each other, and the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the transport container can be shortened or expanded, so that at the inverted part of the transport container, In addition to responding to the reduction in the distance between the front and rear attachment parts of the transport device of an endless chain, the present invention provides a transport container anchoring device that can be easily adjusted when replacing the transport container and the endless chain. This leads to smoother operation [1. It prevents machine failures and makes it easier to attach the transport container. This example will be explained with reference to FIG. 2 and subsequent figures. FIG. 2 is an overall side view of an S-type transport machine equipped with a transportation container anchoring device according to the present invention, and its structure and operation are similar to the conventional S-type transport machine shown in FIG. 1, except for the transportation container anchoring device. Components that are similar to and common to the conveyor are given the same numbers, and descriptions of the common components will be omitted to avoid duplication. FIG. 3 is a perspective exploded view showing the engagement of the transport container with both the inner and outer chains, FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional side view of the front fulcrum, and FIG. It is formed into a boat shape from a synthetic resin material, etc., and a receiving plate 14 made of an elastic material such as rubber is protruded from the rear of the main body, and a conveyed material supply device at the bottom]
When the conveyed objects are continuously introduced in step 1, they overlap with the front part of the adjacent conveying container 9, and the conveyed objects fall from the space between the front and rear conveying containers, adhering to the endless tie 12, etc., to prevent the driving part from being worn out. ing. Note that FIG. 9 shows an example of an inverted state of the container in the inverting section. Reference numeral 17 denotes a bracket attached to the front fulcrum position of both side plates of the transport container 9, which has a notched recess 18 and has a slot 1/nova 20 on the rear side of the shaft hole 19 in the lower part to firmly hold the transport container 9. It has been fixed. A floating link 21 is rotatably supported by the bracket 17 with its pin shaft 22 inserted into the shaft hole 19. As shown in FIG. 4, the bracket 17 and the floating link 21 are in close contact with each other via the bottle shaft 22, and the floating link 21
A front floating support shaft 24 having a spacer 23 is fixed to the upper end, and an inner endless chain 8C is connected to this front floating support shaft 24. 25 inserts the inner endless chain 8C into the spacer 23 side. It is a nanoto which can be mounted rotatably. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the rear fulcrum of the transport container 9 is fixed with a bracket 26 at the rear fulcrum position of both side plates 1, and a pin shaft 28 which is inserted and fixed into the shaft hole 27 of the bracket 26. A floating link 29 having a lower portion thereof is rotatably supported. The bracket 26Fi may be similar to the bracket 17 at the front fulcrum, but it may have a cutout recess 18' on the front side.
- A stopper 3o is firmly fixed to the side plate of the transport container 9, and a stopper 3o, which has a higher plane than the protruding plane of the bracket 26, is provided behind the stopper 3o to protrude from the side plate. late jl17 link 2
A rear floating support shaft 31 is fixed to the upper part of the chain member 9, and an arm 32 is fixed to the rear floating support shaft 31, which extends across the inner endless chain 8c and extends to the outer endless chain 8a. The outer endless chain 8a is fixed to the outer end of the arm 32 via bolts 33.33 and nuts 34.34. Numeral 35 is a nut for inserting and fastening the end of the rear floating support shaft 31 into the hole 36 of the arm 32. In this way, the front and rear floating support shafts 24.3 of the transport container 9 are connected.
1 are configured to be rotatable via floating links 21 and 29 that are respectively pivotally supported by brackets 17 and 26, and straight lines connecting the support shafts are parallel to the upper end surfaces of the endless chain 8a+80 and the transport container 9, respectively. be. Moreover, the floating link 2
The pivot point of 1.29 lies below this straight line. This transportation container anchoring device is constructed as described above, and when the transportation container 9 is in the vertical upward stroke, almost equal vertical loads are applied to the front and rear support shafts, but in the vertical downward stroke, almost equal vertical loads are applied. At times, the weight of the transport container 9, the floating link 21.29
is received by either the outer endless chains 8a, 3b or the inner endless chains 8c, 8d which are in contact with the stopper 20.3('). For example, when the rear fulcrum floating link 29 comes into contact with the rear stopper 30, since it is supported by the rear floating shaft 31 via the floating link 29, a load is applied to the outer endless chains 3a, 8b connected thereto. , extend this. As a result, the distance between the front and rear floating support shafts 24 and 31 of the endless chain is shortened 1, and the load applied to the stopper 30 of the rear floating support shaft 31 is reduced [7] The front and rear floating support shafts 24 and 31 are reduced in weight [7].
3 comes into contact with the stonopper 20, a load is applied to the front floating support shaft 24, and the inner endless chains Bc, 8d are extended. Therefore, the floating links 24 and 29, which rotate under the control of the stoppers 20 and 30, face the change in the distance between the floating shafts, which is appropriately set to a predetermined value, so that the endless chain 8
Since each of a to 8d is not forcibly pulled, the operation of the following conveyance container is not hindered, and the endless chain does not come off the chain wheel. This action is carried out gradually and continuously, and (1) the extensions of the outer endless chains 8a, 8b and the inner endless chains 8c, 8d supplement each other, thereby eliminating the unbalanced extension of one of the endless chains. In addition, when the conveying container passes through the chain wheel 2.3.4.5 of the reversing section, it corresponds well to the shortening of the interval between the conveying container attachment parts of the endless chain, and generates less noise. Needless to say, it will pass smoothly. In addition, the distance between the attachment parts of the transport container of the inner and outer endless chains is set to be smaller than the distance between the front floating support shaft 24 and the rear floating support shaft 3l. Even when the stoppers 20 are engaged without contacting each other, the inner endless chains 8c and 8d are extended by 1 due to the load applied to the front floating support shaft 24.
,, Correspondingly, the distance between the front and rear fulcrums of the transport container of the endless chain is extended, and the floating link 29 gradually comes into contact with the stopper 30, so that the inner and outer endless chain extension can be replenished in the same manner as described above. By the way, if we take a deeper look at the suspension part of the transport container, we will find that even if the transport device is configured as described above, the transport container may be damaged due to various reasons during loading, unloading, or during the round trip. 9 may be prohibited from performing abnormal rocking, and the frequency of such movements may increase, causing the transport container 9 to
The supporting parts, especially the bearing parts VC, begin to accumulate certain wear. To simplify the explanation, Fig. 6 shows the case where the support shaft is extended from the transport container side, and Fig. 7 shows the process when the shaft wears out in the bearing. The floating support shaft 36 provided on the outer wall of the transport container 9 is loosely fitted into the shaft hole 37 on the chain side as shown in the figure, and the load is determined by the distance X of the loosely fitted shaft and the cross-sectional view of the shaft. It is supported by the entire contact surface of the semicircle below the center. As the frequency of use of this conveying device increases, not only does a clearance occur in the floating support shaft 36 and the shaft hole 37 on the center side, but as a result of this clearance, for example, When the transport container 9 swings due to the above reason, the surface that supports the load gradually shifts from FIG. 7A to the state shown in FIG. This is extremely undesirable from a safety standpoint.It goes without saying that such a phenomenon also occurs when the floating support shaft 36 and the shaft hole 37 are provided on the chain side and the transport container, respectively. However, when the equipment becomes large, it is difficult to repair it.The present invention includes the study and completion of a packet conveyor that is prone to forming such an unstable state, and will be explained below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 8 is a plan view showing a part of the chain used in the present invention.A hole 40 is bored in the chain link 39 of the chain 38 at a middle position, and a pusher 41 is fitted into the hole 40. It is preferable that this punosh 41 is made of strong steel, for example.On the other hand, it is preferable that the punosh 41 is made of, for example, strong steel. By fitting the pin over the entire length of the bunoch 41 of each chain 38, the load 1i can be distributed uniformly over the entire width of the load-bearing chain 38.
Coupled with the function of the material of Bunoshiko-41 or the bottle or both at the fitting part,
Compared to conventional conveying devices, local wear is significantly reduced and rotation is performed smoothly. 4) Description of embodiments of the present invention Next, the present conveyance device will be specifically described using the drawings. The conveying device of the present invention, which is rational from a mechanical point of view, must take into account the following points, especially when considering the conveyance of agricultural products. In other words, the first thing to consider is that the objects to be transported are perishables, and when using this type of transport device, it is necessary to change the collection site or ship the barge, and to avoid damage caused by irregular loading or excessive loading. There is a risk of damaging the object to be transported. Once the transported object is damaged, a portion of it naturally sticks to the inner wall surface of the transport container, and other parts are damaged, further contaminating other transported objects. Here, the books remaining on the inner surface of the conveyor will rot with the passage of time, or even a hard worker will contaminate the next conveyed article. Even if the product is undamaged and in good condition during transportation, if the product is contaminated, the speed of spoilage will naturally increase, and even if no spoilage actually occurs, the product value will decline, which is a big disadvantage. Invite. 1. Therefore, sufficient monitoring is required when operating the conveyance device, but in the case of the present invention, 1. If the casing has a band-like or window-like structure (2), a sight glass is installed vertically against the casing wall in the normal position so that the presence or absence of K abnormality can be confirmed relatively early in the cargo conveyance state. The sight glass may be made of a material with high transparency (for example, it is also possible to use a synthetic resin with high transparency). If they are colored in a clearly distinguishable color,
This greatly facilitates confirmation when monitoring the cargo status through the sight glass. On the other hand, it is necessary to apply a corrosion-resistant paint to the casing which protects the entire transport container or to the external parts of the casing provided therein. When performing this kind of painting, if you apply a highly bright colored coating depending on the object to be handled and transported, it will give an image of high hygiene management and the freshness of the transported object, and it will not only have an aesthetic effect but also a great advertising effect. A secondary effect of improvement can also be expected. 5) If there are main effects in addition to the above-mentioned effects by transporting bulk materials using the present transport device having a configuration that exceeds the effects of the present invention, a) Among the plurality of transport containers, By coloring only 1 differently, the conveyance rotation speed and conveyance position can be easily confirmed. b) By applying different colors to the casing of this device based on capacity, conveyance type, etc., aesthetic effects can be achieved. In addition, it can be expected to improve all kinds of work efficiency, management efficiency, and safety management. C) By making the casing transparent, it is possible to not only check whether the transport container is in operation or not, but also to check the status of the internal packet. The presence or absence of an abnormality can be instantly confirmed, and d) Since the transport container and casing of this device are made of synthetic resin material, it is expected that the device will be lightweight, can be mass produced, and can be stored outdoors, making this device inexpensive. It can be provided at etc. can be given.
