Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a vessel conveyor compact, by storing trued-up parts containing vessels in a stack and empty vessels in a stack, respectively. CONSTITUTION:Trued-up parts containing vessels 7 are carried in a direction P by a feed conveyance unit 9 and elevated in a direction E by a lifter 10. When the uppermost vessel 7 is moved to a position F, the lifter 10 is stopped and a pull-in section 11 moves in a direction G, receives the uppermost vessel and fixes it in the position F. The lifter 10 is then moved down to a position H. After parts are all taken out of the uppermost container 7 by the actions of the sliders 15, 16, 17 of a transfer feed section 14, the pull-in section 11 pulls in the empty vessel 7 to a position I in a direction G and conveys the vessel out. After that, preceding empty vessels 7 are stacked on the conveyed-out vessel 7 by a stacking section 13. The lifter 10 is moved up again in the direction E to elevate the next uppermost vessel 7 to the position F. The pull-in section 11 then moves in the direction G, receives the vessel 7 and fixes it in the position F. The lifter 10 is then moved down to the position H.

In addition, since a combination of movement of the container 1a in the direction of arrow Y and movement of the transfer unit 4 in the direction of arrow X is required, parts cannot be transferred or supplied during movement of the container 1a. There were many control conditions and complicated equipment.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional supply method.It is possible to separate the parts transfer and supply section and combine it with various transfer and supply sections in a small space. The present invention provides a container conveying device for transporting containers.

Structure of the Invention The container conveying device of the present invention includes a supply conveyor that stacks and stores containers containing aligned parts and transports them forward, and a supply conveyor that lifts the stacked containers so that the topmost container is the aligned part. When the container is held at the unloading and supplying position, the container is lowered to a position where it can be carried out backwards, and these operations are repeated until all the containers have been supplied, the lifter lowers and receives the stacked containers from the supply conveyor again. and,
A drawing section that holds the topmost container and pulls the empty container that has been supplied to the rear and carries it out, and a drawer that stacks the previous empty container on top of this empty container and then lifts it up to secure a space for the next container. The container supply/unloading section and parts transfer/supply section can be separated in a small space, allowing standardization of the container supply/unloading section or combination with various transfer/supply sections. It has the unique effect of simplifying the configuration and making assembly and adjustment easy.

Beyond the description of the embodiment, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 is a container containing alignment parts. Reference numeral 8 denotes a supply/unloading section, which stores, supplies, and unloads the containers 7, and is composed of the following. 9 is the supply conveyor, container 7
are stored in piles at three locations A, B, and C, and transported in the direction of the arrow. 10 is a lifter that moves up and down in the direction of arrow F, lifts the container 7 from the supply conveyor 9 in the direction of arrow E, and when the uppermost container A is held at position F for taking out and supplying aligned parts, this container is lowered to a position H so that it can be carried out in the direction of arrow G, and this is repeated until all the containers 7 have been supplied to a position F, and then lowered to a position C. Reference numeral 11 denotes a retracting section, which slides in the direction of arrow G 6 toward the baler, receives the container 7 at the top, and moves the container 7 in the direction of arrow G.
is pressed and fixed in position F, and the container 7 that has been supplied is
Pull it in the direction of arrow G to the work position and carry it out. A guide 12 holds the container 7 lifted by the lifter 10 and also regulates it from the side when the container 7 is being drawn in and carried out. 1
3 is a stacking section, where empty containers 7 are carried out to position ■.
After stacking the previous empty container 7, lift it up to secure a space for the next container 7, repeat this process, and stack the empty containers 7 to the work position. In other words, they are piled up above the supply conveyor 9. Further, 14 is a transfer supply section, which sequentially takes out the aligned parts from the container holder fixed at the position F and supplies the parts to an arbitrary position. Transfer supply section 14
is composed of sliders 15, 16, and 17, the slider 15 is placed on the supply/export section 8, the slider 16 is attached to the slider 15, and the slider 17 is attached to the slider 16, respectively, in the J, L direction. Can be moved to any position. Further, numeral 18 is a chuck, which is attached to the bottom of the slider 17 and serves to grip the parts inside the container 7.

Next, the operation will be explained. The container 7 containing the aligned parts is conveyed in the direction of the arrow by the supply conveyor 9, and is transferred to the lifter 1.
o to be lifted in the direction of arrow E.

When the uppermost container 7 reaches position F, the lid 10 stops, and the retracting part 11 moves in the direction of arrow G to receive the uppermost container 7 and fixes it at position F, then lowers to position H. do. Next, the slider 17 of the transfer/supply section 14 descends in the direction indicated by the arrow, the chuck 18 grips the component inside the container T, and the slider 17 ascends in the direction indicated by the arrow. The sliders 15, 16 each move in the direction of arrow J and stop at a predetermined position. Again, the slider 17 descends in the direction of the arrow to feed the parts to a predetermined position, and the chuck 1
8 releases the parts and rises again in the direction of the arrow. The slider 15, 16 is then moved again in the direction of arrow J, causing the chuck 18 to move above the position next to the previously removed part. When the above operations are repeated in sequence and the last component in the container 7 is taken out, the retracting portion 11 moves the empty container 7 in the direction of arrow G 7 .

Pull it in the opposite direction to the work position and carry it out. Next, the previous container 7 is stacked on top of the transported container 7 by the stacking section 13, and the transported container A is lifted together. On the other hand, when the container 7 is pulled into the work position, the lifter 10 rises again in the direction of the arrow E and brings the uppermost container 7 to the position F.
lift up. When the stacking section 13 lifts the container 7, the retracting section 11 moves in the direction of the arrow G, receives the container 7 again, and fixes it at the F position, and the refuku 10 descends to the H position again. The above operation of exchanging the containers 7 is performed while the transfer/supply section 14 is in operation.

Then, when the container 7 containing the aligned parts is no longer on the lifter 10, the lifter 10 descends and the supply conveyor 9!
Lift the container 7 supplied to the 1llC position.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, in the container conveying device of the present invention, containers containing aligned parts and empty containers are stored vertically, and a container supply/unloading section and a parts transfer part can be moved in a small space. The supply parts can be separated and standardized, various combinations can be made, the configuration can be simplified, and assembly and adjustment can be easily performed, which has great practical effects.
