JPS62175312A - Conveyor device for transverse transport of longer object - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent transported objects from being overlapped in doughboys by sensing load existence of each type of objects at least at two points, and by equipping a loading type conveyor with a load-exist sensor which emits signals. CONSTITUTION:Objects are transported by a conveyor to a downstream stopper. If at this time the interval of ONs of load existence sensors at 12, 13 is within a specified time, the operation shall be continued. In case the load existence sensor 13 is not actuated (ON) within the specified time of actuation of the load existence sensor 12, a loading type conveyor 5 is operated until the load existence sensor 13 is actuated, while the loading type conveyor 1 is held at a standstill, and the objects are put in contact with the left and right stoppers 10, 11 and delivered to a transport roll 14 etc. using a kicker etc. In case the loading type conveyors 1, 5 are operated simultaneously, incoordination of the speeds of two conveyors 1, 5 may produce a new skew, so that a clutch 9 is used to provide synchronization.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a lateral feeding device for long materials such as steel pipes, steel bars, and shaped steel.

(Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As is well known, objects to be transported, such as steel pipes that have finished the finish rolling process, are transferred to a finishing process including a straightening process. are conveyed via various conveyors on conveyor beds connecting each process.

In the case of a long item, it is customary to cross-feed it and then transfer it to another location (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 160810/1983).

However, between the above-mentioned processes, etc., there is a slight bend, so the curve is large, and this may cause skewing. In addition, when objects are transported to the transport floor using other transport equipment, they may be placed in a slanted position, and for this reason, even on the downstream side of the transport floor, the objects are slanted, and a kicker or the like is used to move them to the next floor. This makes autonomous driving extremely difficult.

When such a situation occurs in conventional equipment, the skew is corrected manually each time. Therefore, such equipment requires a large number of personnel.

The present invention provides conveyance equipment that can operate automatically without manual intervention even when the conveyed object is placed diagonally on the equipment by other conveyance equipment or when the conveyed object travels obliquely due to a curve or the like. is intended to provide.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention advantageously solves the above problems, and its gist is to provide at least two rows of objects arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the transported objects. It is characterized by consisting of a loading conveyor and an inventory sensor that detects the presence of a single conveyed object at at least two points and issues a signal to the loading conveyor if the object does not arrive at the two points within a set time. This is a cross-feeding equipment for long materials.

(Operations and Examples) The present invention will be explained in detail below based on examples shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the apparatus according to the present invention, with the upper side of the figure being the input side of the conveyed material, and the lower side of the figure showing the state in which the material is conveyed via the conveyor.

1 is the left side - loading vehicle conveyor, 2 is the drive motor for 1, 3 is the drive clutch and brake, 4 is the drive reducer, 5 is the right side - the loading conveyor, 6 is the drive motor for 5, 7 is 5 is a driving clutch and brake, 8 is a driving speed reducer, and 9 is a clutch for synchronizing the left and right loading type conveyors 1 and 5.

To explain the conveyor mechanisms 1 and 5 here, the loaded conveyor 1.5 is also called a conveyor with a top grate, and is a conveyor that simultaneously transfers all the objects placed on the conveyor to the downstream side.

At least one presence sensor 12.13 is arranged in the vicinity of the conveyors 1, 5 in each case, by means of which the passage of the conveyed material on the conveyors 1, 5 is ascertained. Further, the material to be transported comes into contact with the sensor 12, 13 to confirm the presence or absence of the material.

Next, actual transport conditions using this equipment will be explained.

The conveyed material is unloaded by other conveying equipment to positions upstream of conveyors 1 and 5. Then, the material to be conveyed is conveyed to the downstream stopper by the conveyor, and at this time, 12
This operation continues as long as the interval between on and 13 of the cargo presence sensors is within the set time. For example, if the inventory sensor 13 is not turned on within the set time after the inventory sensor 12 is turned on, the loading type conveyor 5 is in a stopped state, and the loading type conveyor 5 is in a stopped state.
Operate until the stock sensor 13 turns on, and then touch the left and right stoppers 10 and 11 with the general delivery material, and use a kicker, etc.! This is the normal operating method of this apparatus, in which the liquid is discharged onto the general feed roll 14 or the like.

In addition, when loading type conveyors 1 and 5 are operated simultaneously, 1 and 5
If the speeds of the two do not match, it may cause new skew movement, so the clutch 9 is used to synchronize the speeds.

Brake and clutch 3.7 loading type conveyor 1.5
It is arranged to start and stop instantly.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to prevent the shelled materials from stacking up in the shape of a bump due to unnecessary movement of the conveyor, and also to reduce the size of the drive system.

Claims (1)

[Claims] At least two rows of loading conveyors arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the conveyed objects and the presence of a single conveyed object at at least two points are detected, and the load does not arrive at the two points within a set time. This equipment is characterized by comprising a load sensor that sends a signal to a loading conveyor when a load is detected.
