Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a filling container supply device, and more specifically, it has a soft body and a relatively hard filling port, and is not supported by the body itself. This invention relates to a device suitable for supplying difficult-to-fill containers.

(B) Prior Art Conventionally, when automatically dispensing filled containers such as carton boxes, a large number of folded carton materials were stacked in a hopper, and the cartons were taken out one by one and assembled into a box before being sent. 1 child.

Furthermore, when supplying molded filled plastic containers Z, a large number of filled containers are stacked and stored in a hopper and taken out one by one.

In all of these conventional devices, the main body itself is relatively hard, and the hopper claw is part of the periphery. This is because it is intended for containers that can be supported entirely by simply supporting them.

Conventional devices cannot be applied to automatic feeding of filled containers, which are made of a thin soft material such as vinyl or polyethylene and partially support the periphery, making it difficult to support the entire container with just one piece.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the filling port is relatively hard. By supporting and holding the container in a hanging manner, even a filled container having a soft body can be automatically supplied to a disaster victim.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a supply device that sequentially supplies filling containers each having a flexible main body and a relatively hard filling port. a cassette conveyor that sequentially conveys a plurality of cassettes arranged sideways in a hanging manner, and a guide that is aligned in a straight line with at least one of the cassettes and receives the filled containers separated from the cassettes; The device includes a rail, a first push-out mechanism for pushing out the filled containers in the cassette onto the guide rail, and a second push-out mechanism for pushing out the filled containers supported by the guide rail.

(E) Function In the filled container supplying apparatus having the above configuration, the cassette conveyor conveys the cassettes, which hold a large number of filled containers in a hanging manner, to a position aligned with the guide rail. When the cassette and the guide rail are aligned, the first pushing mechanism operates and all the filled containers in the cassette are sent onto the guide rail.

The cassette feeder operates intermittently one pitch to align the next cassette with the guide rail. - Once the filled container is transferred onto the guide rail, the second pushing mechanism pushes out the filled container on the guide rail.

Cassette holders 67 shaped as shown in FIG. 4 are attached to each of the chains 55 and 56 at predetermined intervals. The cassette holder 57 is formed with a slit 5 that matches the slit 22 of the cassette 2.

The guide rail 4 has a slit aiy that allows the filling port m of the filling container γ to enter between the two flanges r1 and f2.
a- limited.

The first extrusion @side is on the shoulder with a guide rod 51 and a long cylinder 52 arranged parallel to the guide rail 4, and a bushing 54 attached to a piston rod 55 of the cylinder 52. The bushing 54 has a shape as shown in FIG. 1, and is movably supported by the guide rod 51. The end of the bushing 54 is adapted to enter the slit 22 of the cassette 2, and the screw rod 55
By moving in the direction of the arrow ■, the filling opening of the filling container γ is pushed.

The second extrusion mechanism 6 includes a cylinder 61 arranged parallel to the guide rail and a piston rod 62 of the cylinder 61.
It has a holder 6 attached to the tip of the button, a bushing 64 rotatably supported by the holder 65, and a cylinder 67 connected to one end 65 of the bushing 64 for moving the bushing. The other end of the presser 64 enters the slit 41 of the guide rail from above and presses a portion of the filling opening m of the filling container γ.

The stopper device 7 includes an L-shaped bar 71 rotatably disposed near the end position of the guide rail 4, a cylinder 72 connected to one end of the L-shaped bar 71, and a cylinder 72 connected to the other end of the L-shaped bar 71. The holding member 75 is connected to the holding member 75, and the holding member presses the side of the filling port of the foremost filling container on the guide rail.

The lifting conveyor 8 has a chain 81 that is circulated and a large number of packets 82 attached to the chain 81 at predetermined intervals.
, and r2.

Note that 1 and 92 are proximity switches for detecting the push of the first extrusion device, 4 is a proximity switch for detecting the cassette I11:1, and 5. Solo and 97 are proximity switches for detecting the push of the second extrusion device.

92 is a proximity switch for operating the stopper device.

In the supply device having the above configuration, 1. Turn on the drive switch (not shown) and fill the container? The accommodated cassettes 2 are sent to position A in FIG. 2 by intermittent driving of the cassette conveyor 5. When a cassette is detected by the proximity switch 94, the cylinder 52 is actuated in response to the signal, and the button 54 moves toward the left (5th
Oshida-cho (on the right in the figure).

When it is detected that the button is in the position of the proximity switch 95, the cylinder 67 is activated, and the tip of the button 64 is lowered and touches the upper part of the filling opening of the filling container, and at the same time, the cylinder 61 is activated and the left side (as shown in FIG. 2) is activated. ). At this time, it is pushed out together with the pusher 54 both above and below the filling port.

When the pusher 64 or the proximity switch 9 reaches the position O, the proximity switch emits a signal χ, which causes the cylinder 52 to move to the right, and the proximity switch 91 emits a signal that returns it to its original position. The conveyor moves intermittently by 5 or 1 pitch.

When the button reaches the position, the proximity switch 97 issues a signal, the cylinder 67 is actuated, the button 64 is raised, and at the same time the cylinder 61 moves it to the right, and the proximity switch 95 confirms that it has returned to its original position.

The proximity switch 92 is for operating the filling container stopper device 7. If the cassette 2 is not sent, the proximity switch 94 cannot detect it, so the cylinder 52 does not work and the pusher 54 does not move. Therefore, the proximity switch 9
2 cannot detect the movement of the bushing 54. When the proximity switch 92 cannot detect the button 54, the button 64
When it is detected that the container has moved and reached the position of the proximity switch 7, the stopper device 7 operates to stop the movement of the filling container.

One filled container pushed by the pusher 64 is inserted into a packet 82 of the take-out conveyor 8 between the two flanges f1 and f2 of the filling port m, and is supported by the packet 82.

Thereafter, the same operation is repeated to sequentially supply the optical filler.

(g) Effects According to the present invention, a plurality of flanges are provided at the filling opening of a soft bag-shaped filling container made of synthetic resin, and the flanges are supported and held in the cassette, and the flanges are movable along the guide plate.
