Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for separating, supplying and discharging objects to be supplied and an apparatus thereof.More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for separating, supplying and discharging objects to be supplied and an apparatus therefor. For example, in a packaging device that transfers confectionery, batteries, etc. in sets of two, the objects to be fed, which are conveyed two by two from the supply conveyor, are separated and fed one by one and discharged to the discharge conveyor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a completely new and useful method for separating, supplying and discharging objects to be supplied, which makes it possible to package objects one by one as a unit, and an apparatus therefor.

Generally, some confectionery, foodstuffs, batteries, etc. are packaged as a set of two for convenience when used or sold. They were packaged using special packaging equipment that packages them as units. However, such packaging equipment transports the items to be packaged in pairs on a supply conveyor and then wraps them as they are with a homer, sealer, etc. For example, it has the disadvantage that it cannot be used for articles that need to be packaged one by one, or for which it is customary to package one by one. Therefore, the packaging of such devices is limited to a very narrow range of items, and the packaging devices cannot necessarily be said to be of good quality in terms of practicality or economy.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention makes it possible to separate the objects being transported two by two on a supply conveyor so that they can be packaged one by one, and it is also possible to use not only a packaging device but also a packaging device. This is a completely new and revolutionary product that can be applied to any supply device.
The feature is that there is a top plate on which two objects can be placed on the supply side conveyor and a discharge side conveyor, and a lower plate that is longer than the top plate by a length that allows one object to be placed on it. A separating, supplying and discharging device for objects to be supplied, which is equipped with a movable slider, and a device for separating, supplying and discharging objects that is arranged between a supply-side conveyor and a discharge-side conveyor, and two objects to be fed from the supply-side conveyor. The present invention is based on a method for separating, supplying and discharging the objects to be supplied, and then discharging them one by one onto a discharge conveyor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, the specific structure of the separation supply and discharge apparatus of the present invention will be described below according to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a separation supply and discharge device arranged between a supply side conveyor 2 and a discharge side conveyor 3, and includes an upper plate 4 on which two objects can be placed, and a Approximately half the length of the upper plate 4, which is capable of reciprocating once depending on the feed pitch of the supply conveyor 2, between the lower plate 5, which is long enough to accommodate one feed. A slider 6 is mounted so as to be freely protrusive and retractable from between the upper plate 4 and the lower plate 5.
7 is a slider driving device for driving the slider 6, and as shown in FIG. is rotatably attached to the connecting rod 14, and one end is connected to the connecting rod 1.
a second arm 13 which is coaxially and swingably attached to the other end of the second arm 13 and whose other end is rotatably attached to the central shaft 11; The first arm 12 is rotatably attached.

A slider roller 15 is pivotally supported in a substantially U-shaped groove 16 formed on the other end side of the first arm 12, and a stopper roller 15 is attached to the lower surface of the plate 17 below the slider 6 by bolts 18, 18. Ingredients 19
It is rotatably attached to the shaft 20 by a shaft 20.

Since the separation supply and discharge device of the present invention has the above configuration, when the motor 8 is driven, the rotor 10 rotates,
The rotation of the rotor 10 rotates the connecting rod 14, the second arm 13, and the first arm 12, which causes the slider roller 15 to move left and right, causing the slider 6 to reciprocate via the plate 17. As a result, the slider 6 can freely move in and out from between the upper plate 4 and the lower plate 5 of the separation supply and discharge device 1.

Next, a method of separating and supplying and discharging a supplied material using the above-mentioned separation and supplying and discharging device will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the two objects A and B conveyed simultaneously from the supply side conveyor 2 are transferred to the separation supply and discharge section 1 side and placed on the upper plate 4 of the separation supply and discharge device 1. place Next, as shown in FIG.
The objects A and B that have been sent forward are placed on the conveyor while being pushed out, and only the object A on the front side of the objects A and B that has been pushed out is transferred to the discharge side conveyor as shown in Fig. 5. Send it out on 3rd. At this time, the object B on the rear side is temporarily placed on the lower plate 5 as shown in FIG. Therefore, after the material to be supplied A is sent out as described above, the slider 6 pushes out the material to be supplied B at predetermined intervals as shown in FIG. 6 and delivers it to the discharge side conveyor 3. As a result, the supplies A and B, which are conveyed as a pair by the supply conveyor 2, can be separated and discharged to the discharge conveyor 3. Similarly, by the articles E and F that are sent next to the articles C and D, the article C is first discharged to the discharge side conveyor 3, and then the article D is discharged by the slider 6. The supplies C and D are separately supplied. By continuously repeating these steps, the objects to be fed are conveyed two by two on the supply side conveyor 2, separated and fed, and then discharged to the discharge side conveyor 3 where they are wrapped one by one using a former, a sealer (not shown), etc. Ru. In this way, in the present invention, even in a packaging device or the like for an object to be packaged, which was conventionally conveyed two by two and packaged only as a set of two, it is possible to separate and supply the objects to be packaged, which are conveyed two at a time. This made it possible to package each item individually.

In the above embodiments, the case where the present invention is applied to a packaging device has been described, but the present invention is by no means limited to a packaging device, and can be applied to a simple supply device. In short, it can be applied to any device that has a supply side conveyor and a discharge side conveyor.

Further, the configuration of the device for reciprocating the slider 6 is not limited to the above embodiment, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention, and in short, any configuration that allows the slider to reciprocate can be used. good.

As mentioned above, the present invention provides two
Because of the separation, supply and discharge method and its equipment, in which the supplied items are separated one by one and then discharged one by one onto a discharge conveyor, conventionally the supplied items could only be packaged as a set of two. It is also possible to package the supplies one by one using packaging equipment, etc. Therefore, the supplies transferred in sets of two can be separated and discharged one by one for packaging, etc. We have obtained exceptional effects that can be achieved. As a result,
The present invention has a remarkable effect in that even though the objects to be fed were conventionally supplied in pairs and could only be processed as a set of two, they can be separated, fed and discharged, and processed one by one. Furthermore, there is a great practical benefit that can be applied to all cases where it is necessary to separate and discharge two supplies of supplied materials one by one.
