The automatic connection device 1 includes a receiving mechanism that allows a receiving member to be placed into the cage by a person, and a contact mechanism 3 that allows the receiving member to be placed in the feeding member B.
The example shown in Figure 0 shows an example in which the receiving member A is on the movable side and the supply member B is on the fixed side, but of course the opening receiving mechanism may be in the opposite case! The apparatus includes a connecting pipe fixed to a fixed bracket 6 and connected to one of the transport pipes 8, and a receiving tray 7 accommodated at the tip of the connecting pipe 6. The inner hole of this saucer Te has a V-shaped cross section, and the outer periphery 5 protrudes and sinks the engaging collar Tee b.

The side 1 of the abutting machine has a main pipe 1 which is swingably supported by a ball bearing 11 of a mounting base 10 to which the supply member Bc is attached, and this main pipe 1! It is equipped with a cylinder 1m for advancing and retracting that is inserted into the cylinder. A spherical seal member IS is attached to the tip of the advancing/retracting cylinder 11, and comes into contact with the inner hole 1 of the saucer plate.

In charge! The other end is connected to the other transport pipe via a flexible pipe 16. It is preferable that the one sealing body is made of an elastic material such as rubber.

The first cylinder for advancing and retreating is the main pipe 1! This advancing/retracting cylinder 1m is capable of sliding forward and backward, and moves the seal body 1s forward and backward using pressurized air. An example of this is shown in Fig. 4.

The above supervisor l! A positioning means SS for swinging the main pipe 1 and directing the seal body 15 to a position opposite to the receiving tray 1 is connected to the main pipe 1 . This positioning method! b is a swinging cylinder 6 that swings the main pipe 1, a stopper snow holder housed on the receiving mechanism side, and the main pipe 1! It consists of a contact roller tS that is attached to a proper position of the stopper 8 and comes into contact with the stopper 8. Seal stopper 8 is the seal body 15 when the receiving machine is transferred. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 1, it is positioned below the advancing/retracting cylinder 11 so as not to come into contact with it. The rear end of the swinging cylinder 6 is pivotally supported by the clevis 1 and connected to the bracket layer O attached to the main pipe 1;
The expansion and contraction of the piston a''tF causes the main pipe 1 to swing around the ball bearing 11.

The main pipe 1 is further provided with a locking hand 1 [91@] for press-supporting the seal body 1 to the saucer.

This locking hand &! Reference numeral 16 denotes a claw member s@,, s@, which engages with the engagement flange 1b of the saucer 7, and this claw member ■.

A link mechanism is provided between the tottering passage cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 21 that opens and closes the cylinder 16. The claw members 5g1m5 are arranged on both sides sandwiching the seal body 1 grave, and the base is L-shaped,
Seal body 1 with pin 1・λ and sob in the middle! The support arm llIc, which is housed in the frame I, is pivoted and connected to the cylinder 11 for advancing and retracting via a connecting arm 40 and an intermediate lever 41. The connecting cylinder s7 is supported by a bracket 1 which is housed in the main pipe 1, and a supporting roller 41 which abuts against the a# stand 10 is attached to the bracket 1.

In addition, the tip of the connecting cylinder 1 is connected to the support arm 8 of the seal body 1 to move the seal body 11 to the required rear position.
While retreating to I (retreat position It), when moving to fm base! It is a transition to a stage, and the first stage is Fate.
! On the floor, the seal body 1 is moved forward to near the saucer master, stopped, and then pushed in again in the first operation. C
This is the cylinder γ itself! It is also possible to use a stage transition method (the forward position of the advance/retreat cylinder II+ or the seal body 1m is electrically detected.

Regulate the supply of pressurized air and move forward! You may choose to do it in stages.

In order to avoid trouble, an example is shown in which the abutting roller 8 of the positioning means 5 is supported by the pin ssb that pivotally supports the claw portion 6, but the abutting roller 3 is not supported in other places 1, for example. You can also install it at the bottom center of arm 8.

Hereinafter, the operation procedure will be explained based on igi Figure 1ζ. Normally, the seal body 1s and the advancing/retracting cylinder 1m are moved rearward from the connecting cylinder 8te1 via the support arm s8, as shown in FIG. 1(1).

The abutting roller 28 is moved back to a position where it is removed from the stopper, allowing the receiving machine to move back and forth, and the swinging cylinder! @ moves the main pipe 12 to the predetermined stop position I of the receiving mechanism 2.
It is rotated from t (dash line position) in the opposite direction to the two stoppers and maintained. This means that even if the receiving mechanism mushroom does not stop at a predetermined position, and the stopping position is slightly off from the left or right, the contact roller is still in contact! 8. Stopper when moving forward ζζ! 75 (This is to prevent W collision.

In this case, the claw member m50m5 is the advance/retreat cylinder 1.
Due to the relationship of being pulled backwards by the layer.

It is in the open state as shown.

Next, in connection, when the receiving m is stopped at a predetermined position (FIG. 2(b)), the first layer of advancing/retracting cylinders and the seal body 16 are advanced by the three connecting cylinders via the support arm 18. However, in the forward position, the contact roller goose 8 faces the stopper goose, and the claw member a11. The first stage position is where IIg is as close as possible to the saucer plate and does not come into contact with it. In this position, as mentioned in R (7), there are 8 cylinders for continuous feeding! A stage transition method may be used, or electrical regulation may be used.

With this rotation M#ζ, the main pipe 1 is rotated from the swing cylinder taIt in the direction of the stopper 27, and the contact cooler 18 is moved to the stopper. Te #C makes contact (C in the same figure).

Next, the connecting cylinder 1 is activated to move the sealing body 1M forward so that it faces the inner hole λlζ of the saucer 1 (FIG. d).

After that, actuate the advancing/retracting cylinder Im to move the claw member 11-'

Each As has an accepting organization! , the goose is grown into an adult bone 1 distribution mechanism A1. AI is a zero distribution mechanism A 1 that runs along the rail R, and AI is each equipped with a gas-solid separation means in the same way as a dust collector, and the coke powder etc. separated from the continuously fed air is installed at an appropriate location from the pressure pipe P. The liquid is distributed and supplied to a hopper (not shown).

Effects of the Invention (According to the present invention, the seal body provided on the other abutting mechanism is crimped onto the receiving tray provided on the receiving mechanism, and the seal member provided on the other abutting mechanism is latched by the scratch-resistant claw ζ, so that both can be reliably secured.) The abutment mechanism is also provided with positioning means even if a slight deviation occurs in the stop position t of the receiving mechanism.

Since the seal body is swung to face the receiving tray, the two can be reliably connected. Moreover, since these operations are carried out using cylinders, remote control is possible.
