Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a carried cargo which is located at the lowermost position to be positively conveyed by configurating a device in such a manner that firstly the running track of an endless conveyor, which corresponds to the loading position of a carried cargo group on the cargo guide table, is allowed to be inclined so as to elevate the track gradually, and secondly the position of a gate railing can be adjusted. CONSTITUTION:A carried cargo (a) which is located at the lowermost position of a carried cargo group A, is allowed to be held back by a pusher 3 installed on a conveyor 4 at its rear side while the pusher comes upward gradually from the rear side of the carried material permitting the cargo to be transferred to a guide table 1. At this moment, the rest of the carried cargo group A is lifted up, and the lowered down to the original place after the pusher 3 has passed through a gate railing 2. Here, when the carried cargo group, each of which is thinner, is required to be conveyed, the position of the gate railing 2 is shifted to the left direction. This causes the rear side of the carried cargo group to be retreated allowing the rear side of the cargo group to be held back by the pusher 3 at is lower position where the pusher is in its lower elevating level. Accordingly, this configuration allows the device to cope easily with change in the thickness of the carried cargo in conveying it positively in order to the stated direction.

<Prior art> For example, the following is a conveying device that conveys the lowest conveyed articles one by one in a predetermined direction from among a group of conveyed articles formed by stacking flat conveyed articles such as books in a layered manner. Something like this is known. That is, among the group of conveyed articles that are attached at a predetermined interval to a conveyed article guide table and an endless conveyor that runs parallel to the conveyed article guide table, and that are placed on the conveyed article guide table and stacked in layers. a pushing member arranged above the conveyance object guide table and configured to lock the conveyance object placed at the lowest position in the conveyance object group so that the conveyance object can be conveyed in a predetermined direction; This is a conveyance device consisting of a gate rod that allows only the conveyed articles placed at one position to pass through, and restricts other conveyed articles to be placed at a predetermined placement position.

However, in such conventional conveying devices, the conveyed object guide table and the running track of the endless conveyor are always set parallel to each other, so that the conveyed object placed on the conveyed object guide table and the pushed object attached to the conveyor are The relative height relationship with other members is also always maintained unchanged. As a result 1, for example, if the protruding height is set to 2 cm to be effective for conveying an object with a height of 3 cm, the pushing member as it is will not be able to carry an object with a height of 2 cm or less. It is impossible to convey the objects one by one, and this has the disadvantage that the protruding height of all the pushing members must be adjusted or replaced depending on the height of the objects to be transported.

<Object of the Invention> The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to transport objects in a group of transported objects formed by stacking flat transported objects such as books in layers. The present invention relates to a conveying device for conveying articles placed at the lowest position one by one in a predetermined direction, and is particularly designed to be able to appropriately convey articles having different wall thicknesses through simple operations.

<Configuration of the Invention> In order to achieve the above object, a conveying device of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, among the group of conveyed articles that are attached at a predetermined interval to a conveyed article guide table and an endless conveyor that runs parallel to the conveyed article guide table, and that are placed on the conveyed article guide table and stacked in layers. a pushing member arranged above the conveyance object guide table and configured to lock the conveyance object placed at the lowest position in the conveyance object group so that the conveyance object can be conveyed in a predetermined direction; In a conveying device comprising a gate rod that allows only conveyed objects placed at a certain position to pass through and restricts other conveyed objects to be placed at a predetermined loading position, By forming the running track of the endless conveyor corresponding to the loading position so as to gradually rise as it advances in the running direction, the pushing member attached to the endless conveyor can be moved relative to the conveyed object guide table. By configuring the gate rod to gradually protrude, and by configuring the arrangement position of the gate rod to be adjustable in the front and back direction with respect to the transport direction of the transported object, the transported object regulated by the gate rod and the pushing member The feature is that the locking position can be adjusted.

<Example> DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a conveyed object guide stand, and on the starting end side of the conveyed object guide stand 1 is a conveyed object group in which conveyed objects a... are piled up in layers. A placement position is formed. Reference numeral 2 denotes a gate rod disposed on the conveyed object guide table 1, and the gate rod 2 is used to control the lowermost object among the group A of conveyed objects placed at the loading position on the conveyed object guide table 1. It has a function of allowing only the transported object A placed at the position to pass through, and regulating the other transported objects A to be placed at a predetermined placement position.

Reference numerals 3, . . . are pushing members attached at predetermined intervals to the endless conveyor 4 consisting of a chain or belt that continuously runs parallel to the conveyed object guide table 1,
The pushing member 3 moves the conveyed article a placed at the lowest position among the conveyed articles A placed at a predetermined loading position fi in a predetermined direction.
That is, it has a function of conveying in the direction of the arrow in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 2, the reference numeral 5 is a drive roll on which an endless conveyor is installed.

Next, the configuration that characterizes the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. A running track of the endless conveyor 4 corresponding to a predetermined placement position of the conveyed object group A on the conveyed object guide table 1 is formed via an inclined guide 6 so that it gradually rises and slopes as it advances in the traveling direction. ing.

In this embodiment, the inclination angle is approximately 5 degrees with respect to the conveyed object guide table 1. Describing this configuration in terms of the relationship between the pushing member 3 and the conveyed object a, the pushing member 3 attached to the endless conveyor 4 is located at the third position relative to the conveyed object placement position on the conveyed object guide table 1 As shown in the figure, it is configured to gradually rise or protrude, and in the process of moving in the direction of the arrow while gradually rising,
It is configured to be latched to the rear of the conveyed article a placed at the lowest position of the conveyed article group A, and to push the conveyed article.

Furthermore, the feature of the present invention is that, as shown in FIG. 4, the arrangement position of the gate rod 2 is adjustable in the front and rear directions (left and right in FIG. 4) with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyed object. That's true. From this point of view, it is possible to adjust the locking position between the conveyed object group A regulated by the gate rod 2 and the pushing member 3.
