Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention has a support 2 erected on one side or both sides of a conveyor 1 for transporting goods such as a trolley conveyor or a roller conveyor, and a fastener 3 such as a nut attached to the support 2.
Fix the support rod 4 such as a bolt at an arbitrary height with
Improvement of a guide rail for a conveyor in which an elastic guide body 9 is laid on one or both sides of the conveyor 1 by holding the groove part 7 of the frame rail 6 and inserting the insertion groove 10 of the guide body 9 into the projecting wall 8 of the frame rail 6. It is related to.

In this guide rail, the height of the support rod 4 attached to the support rod 2 by the fastener 3 and the length to the tip of the support rod 4 can be adjusted so that the conveyor 1
Guide body 9 for guiding goods to be transported by
When guide rails are laid on both sides, the distance between the guide bodies 9 is adjusted to suit the goods to be transported, and depending on the shape of the goods, guide rails are laid in two rows above and below, This prevents the articles transported from the conveyor 1 from falling, and also prevents the transported articles from being damaged by the elasticity of the guide body 9.

Depending on the shape, characteristics, etc. of the transported article, the guide body 9 has a contact surface with an arcuate cross section in order to make the cross section of the surface of the guide body 9 in contact with the transported article arc-shaped for a point contact, or to make a flat line contact. 9. Several types of guide bodies 9 with different cross-sectional shapes, such as a guide body 9 having a flat contact surface, are prepared and used depending on the shape, characteristics, etc. of the transported article.

Therefore, several types of guide bodies 9 must be kept in stock at all times, which not only increases the amount of inventory and requires inventory control, but also increases the cross-section of the guide bodies 9 depending on the shape, characteristics, etc. of the transported goods after the guide rail is installed. If the shape is found to be inappropriate, a new guide body 9 with a different cross-sectional shape must be ordered, resulting in the disadvantage that the guide body 9 that has already been installed must be discarded.

This invention aims to rectify the shortcomings mentioned above.
The object is to provide a guide rail for a conveyor that can change the shape of the contact surface for transported articles by replacing the guide body with respect to the frame rail.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. One side of the guide body 9 has an arc shape 11, the other side has a flat surface 12, and an insertion groove is inserted into the projecting wall 8 of the frame rail 6. The distance from 10 to the tip of the protruding surface of the arc-shaped 11 and the distance A from the insertion groove 10 to the flat surface are approximately the same, and the distance A is the depth B of the clamping groove 13 formed by the protruding wall 8 of the frame rail 6. It is slightly smaller than the .

Therefore, when inserting the insertion groove 10 of the guide body 9 into the projecting wall 8 of the frame rail 6, the arc shape 11 of the guide body 9,
Any of the flat surfaces 12 can be accommodated in the clamping groove 13 of the frame rail 6, and the flat surface 12 and the arc shape 11 on the other surface can be used as contact surfaces. Since the distance A is only slightly smaller than the depth of the clamping groove 13, the guide body 9
The pressure applied to a rigid material such as aluminum,
This can prevent abnormal wear and deformation of the guide body 9 made of an elastic material such as high-density polyethylene by transmitting it to the frame rail 6 made of hard vinyl chloride or the like.

As mentioned above, the present invention uses a single guide body in an arc shape.
Since any flat surface can be used as a contact surface, it is possible to reduce the amount of inventory and the labor involved in inventory management, and it can be used at the work site according to the shape and characteristics of the transported goods, making it possible to replace the guide body depending on the transported goods. This has the effect of preventing abnormal wear and deformation of the guide body.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, even when guide rails are laid in two rows, upper and lower, it is possible to use a single guide body, with the upper row having an arc shape and the lower row having a flat shape.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A frame rail is provided with a groove on one side that is supported by a fastener on a support rod attached to a support column, and a clamping groove is formed on the other side by opposing protruding walls, and an elastic guide body is inserted oppositely. In the conveyor guide rail in which the groove is inserted into the projecting wall of the frame rail, one side of the guide body without the insertion groove is formed into an arc shape, and the other side is formed into a flat surface, and the arc-shaped tip and the flat surface are formed from the insertion groove. A guide rail for a conveyor, characterized in that the distance between the two grooves is approximately the same as the depth of the clamping groove.
