is installed. This sorting device 8 is of a publicly known type, and a sorting rod 8 is placed in the center of the path of the color-ordered quantities A that are sent in one line.
A is vertically arranged, and the color order various amounts A are sequentially distributed and entered into the left and right vacant sides of the partition guide 9.

At the end position of the transfer conveyor 2, color order quantities A are provided.

A stopper 10 that waits for the color order quantities A, A,
This stopper 10 is provided so as to be able to appear and retract freely on the path of...
At a predetermined distance upstream, there is a partition stopper 11.11 that partitions the number of color-ordered quantities A, A, etc. (in the illustrated example, 1 dozen in 2 columns and 6 rows) from both sides. It is arranged so that it can appear and appear on the path of A....

Further, on both sides near the end of the transfer conveyor 2, pressurized air is blown to the color sequential quantities A at the rear end when the one dozen color sequential quantities A separated by stoppers 11 are sent out on the conveyor 2. A pressure air blowing nozzle 12 is provided so that there is no gap between the front and back of the color order quantities A.

A box supply conveyor 13 is disposed on the side of the inclined pedestal 4. This conveyor 13 conveys the box 3 so that its longitudinal direction is parallel to the inclined base 4, and a pusher 14 consisting of a push plate 14A and an air cylinder 14B is disposed outside a stop station 13A at the end of the conveyor 13. The pusher 14 feeds the box 3 on the stop station 13A onto the inclined base 4.

The inclined pedestal 4 has an inclined position in which the end side of the transfer conveyor 2 is downwardly inclined, and its inclination angle is equal to that of the inclined pedestal 4.
The upper end of the box side wall 3A on the upstream side in the transport direction of the various amounts of cans of the box 3 supplied above is at a height position where it does not come into contact with the lower end of the color ordered amounts A suspended and conveyed by the conveyor 6. Is the upper end of the box side wall 3B on the downstream side the can j? is set so as to be placed in contact with the lower end of various quantities A. A vacuum head 15 is provided at the center of the inclined pedestal 4 to suck the bottom surface of the box 3 using a vacuum in order to prevent the box 3 supplied thereon from moving erratically.

Note that this means is not limited to vacuum, and may be any other appropriate means.

The carry-out conveyor 5 is provided at approximately the same level as the downstream end of the inclined pedestal 4, and is constituted by a roller conveyor in the illustrated example. This carry-out conveyor 5 is actively driven by a drive means (not shown), and is configured to carry out the boxes 3 containing the layered quantities A, A, . . . in the direction of the arrow.

At the end of the discharge conveyor 5, a conveyor 16 is disposed for conveying the packed layered items to another location, such as a packaging process.

In the illustrated example, the transport conveyor 6 shows a case where the layered quantity A is intended for items that can be attracted by magnetic force, such as a quantity of canned goods made of a magnetic material, a quantity of bottles covered with lids made of a magnetic material, etc. It consists of a belt 19 made of a material that is not easily magnetic, such as stainless steel, and wound between pulleys 17 and 18, and a magnet 20 placed directly above the lower running side 19A of this belt 19. There is. Therefore, the magnets 20 are arranged on the transfer conveyor 2.

When reaching the lower part of the crotch area, the layered amounts A are sucked up via the belt 19, and are carried halfway to the inclined base 4 and the carry-out conveyor 5 while being adsorbed to the lower surface of the belt 19. Note that if the layered quantities to be handled are made of a material or have a structure that cannot be attracted by the magnet 20, suction holding using a vacuum or suspension holding means using a mechanical chuck mechanism may be employed. In the figure, 21 is a motor for driving the transfer conveyor 21, and 22 is a motor for driving the transfer conveyor 6.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

The layered amounts A loaded on the transfer conveyor 2 and transferred in one line are sorted into two lines by the sorting device 8 and sent toward the end of the transfer conveyor 2.

On the other hand, the boxes 3 with open lids are supplied to the box supply conveyor 13 and transported, and the first box 3 is delivered to the stop station 13.
It is stopped on A. Next, the pusher 14 is activated, and the side surface of the box 3 is pushed by the pusher plate 14A, and the case 3 is transferred onto the inclined pedestal 4, and as shown in the third figure, the side wall of the surface on the downstream side in the transfer direction of the layered amount A is pushed. 3B is high, and the upstream side wall 3A is placed in a low inclined position.

When the layered amount A sent on the transfer conveyor 2 enters the area where the magnet 20 of the conveyor 6 is arranged, the layered amount is attracted to the magnet 20 via the belt 19, and
Due to the movement of the belt 19, the layered quantities A are suspended and reach the top of the box 3 on the inclined base 4. At this time, when a predetermined number of layers A has passed, the partition stopper 11.11
protrudes onto the path and stops the progression to subsequent layered quantities A, and when a predetermined number of preceding final layered quantities A pass the position of the pressure air blowing nozzle 12, the nozzle 1
Pressurized air is blown out from 2, and pressurized air is used to press behind the final layered amount, which tends to have a gap with the preceding layered amount A, to fill the gap and ensure alignment.

In this way, a predetermined number (1 dozen) of layered quantities A are suspended and supported on the conveyor 6, and the foremost layered quantity A is tilted on the inclined base 4 on the flowing side of the box 3. When the box side wall 3B is reached, the lower end of the layered amount A comes into contact with the upper end of the surface side wall 3B from the inner side as shown in the third diagram, and the box 3
Move it to the right in Figure 3 as if pulling. Along with this movement, the box 3 gradually shifts from an inclined position to a horizontal position,
As a result of this transition, the lower ends of the predetermined number of layers A suspended and supported by the conveyor core 6 all fit into the case 3. During this period, the upper end of the layered amount A gradually escapes from the area in which the magnet 20 is disposed and is released from its holding, and by the time the box 3 is transferred onto the carry-out conveyor 5, the layered amount A is Everything is placed in the box 3 and carried out by the drive of the carry-out conveyor 5.

During this time, the next box 3 is fed onto the inclined base 4 by the pusher 14, and the next predetermined number of color-ordered items separated by the partition stoppers 11 and 11 are fed by the conveyor 6 in the same manner as described above. The products are transported suspended and packed into boxes continuously in the same manner as described above.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the method for drawing various important positions according to the present invention is such that the various important positions can be stored at a lower position along the conveyance path of the various important positions supported at the upper part. The box is arranged in an inclined position so that the side wall of the box on the wake side in the transportation direction of the layered items can come into contact with the lower part of the heavy-duty items to be conveyed, and the lower part of the heavy-duty items to be conveyed is on the side wall of the box. When it comes into contact with the body, the lower part of the heavy-duty items moves together with the box, and during this movement, the box shifts to a horizontal position, and the lower part of the heavy-duty weight gradually enters the box to reach the specified position. By releasing the support of the heavy-duty quantities at the position, the heavy-duty quantities are housed in the box, so when the heavy-duty quantities are stored in the box, the layers do not collide with each other, and the surfaces can be smoothly placed. This ensures that damage to important items is not caused.

Furthermore, the apparatus for packing heavy-duty items according to the present invention has the effect of simplifying its structure, since it can carry out a series of operations from supplying heavy-duty items to surface packing.
