Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a device for transporting thin rectangular tiles that are fed in an upright state while maintaining the upright state, and includes one end of the lower edge of the upright tiles. a conveyor having a protrusion on its upper surface that engages by bringing the parts into contact with each other; and a conveyor that engages above the vertical edge of the tiles opposite to the one end and presses the one end against the protrusion. For example, when tiles that have been painted, fired, etc. are transported to a worksite where they are loaded into cardboard packaging boxes, they are transported by a transport conveyor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a conveyance device suitable for sequentially picking up a certain number of incoming tiles.

BACKGROUND ART Devices have been used for a long time to supply and convey fallen thin square tiles one by one onto a conveyor in a column. The present applicant has also developed a device for standing up such tiles at the end of the feed of the conveying device, and has already filed a utility model registration application. For example, if you take tiles that are standing upright, the number is 10.
To convey meters, at least one conveyor belt supporting the lower edge and two conveyor belts holding down the longitudinal edges on both sides, a total of three conveyor belts, must be set up to run at the same speed. . As shown in the examples below, the present invention has been designed to be a simple device using two conveyors, to prevent the device from falling over during conveyance, and to be able to be easily picked up. This is what I did.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a supporting conveyor made of an endless belt, and 2 is a standing holding conveyor made of an endless belt. One end d of the lower edge b is brought into contact with and engaged with one side of the protrusion 3 as shown in the figure. The upright holding conveyor 2 engages with the vertical edge c on the opposite side of the one end d of the upright tiles a and presses the one end d against one side of the protrusion 3. Both conveyors 1,
2 are made to run at the same speed, and the position where they come into contact with the vertical edge c of the upright holding conveyor 2 is the upper end e of the vertical edge c of this embodiment, and the conveyor 2
The erected tiles a are slightly tilted in the direction of the protrusion 3. This inclination is automatically created by a folding part connected to a tile upright device (not shown).

The device of the present invention has the configuration clarified by the explanation of the embodiments above, and the tiles a that are fed to one side of the protrusion 3 of the support conveyor 1 in an upright position almost simultaneously hold the vertical edges c upright. The lower edge b is automatically pressed slightly by the conveyor 2.
It is configured to convey while maintaining pressure on one side of the protrusion 3 at one end d, and the configuration of the device is extremely simple since the two conveyors are simply provided as a set. become. In addition, standing tiles are only supported by two diagonal points above one end d of the lower edge b and the vertical edge c on the opposite side of the one end, and are transported while maintaining the upright posture mainly by their own weight. There is no point in lying down inside. However, both conveyors 1,
As shown in the figure, feeding to 2 can be freely controlled by connecting 12 tiles and then connecting 12 more at small intervals, so for example, 12 tiles can be connected as a group. It can be used for tasks such as grabbing it at a certain point during transportation and loading it into a packaging box.In that case, since there is no conveyor for standing and holding on one side, it is necessary to grab it from side 2 of the conveyor for standing and holding. This can be done manually by tilting the upper part of the tiles a little further toward the supporting conveyor 1 side and easily disengaging the tiles from the conveyor 2, and the conveying device has a simple structure and is supported at two points. This has the advantage of reliably preventing falls.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]
