One rotary shaft 10 is connected to the drive motor 9 via the rotary shaft 3, and the chain 14 is controlled to circulate in the transport direction at the same speed as the chains 7 and 7' on both sides. It's done in a way that forces you to do so.

In the above-mentioned upright conveyor 1, the tile products W are placed in an upright state by the chains 7, 7' on both sides.
Supporting points A and B on both sides of the bottom surface of the chain 14
The tile product W is placed upright at three points: point C, which corresponds to one of the Kens 16 and 16' in the center, and the tile product W is placed upright at point A on both opposing sides as shown in FIG. The chains 16, 16' are placed facing forward so that point C, which is central to point B, is located forward in the conveyance direction, and the chains 7, 7',
14 so that they are sequentially conveyed forward.

In addition, the center chain 14 has its rotary shaft 10 positioned so that its tip is located forward of the tips of the other chains 7 and 7' in the conveying direction, so that the rotating shaft 10 is positioned in such a way that the tip of the center chain 14 is positioned forward of the tips of the other chains 7 and 7' on both sides. The support of the center point C by the chain 14 is released and the tile product W is moved to A.
It is designed to lie forward using the point and point B as the fulcrum.

Reference numeral 17 denotes an inverted conveyor that is connected to the upright conveyor 1 so as to lie down forward in the conveyance direction. The end point of the chain 14 is located slightly forward and upward from the end point of the chain 14, and the end point of the chain 14 is located in front of the delivery position 23.The chain 14 is arranged in an upwardly sloping manner toward the conveyance direction, and the delivery position 23 is In order to stably receive the tiled product W that is lying down from the upright conveyor 1, a receiving portion 24 is provided which is inclined to match the falling angle.

In addition, the inverted conveyor 17 is connected to spindles 18 and 19 disposed slightly forward and upper part of the rotating shaft 10 that supports the end of the frame 2 and the tip of the chain 14 through pulleys 20, 20', 21, and 21'. It is made up of two belts 22, 22' wound around each other at a predetermined interval. Further, the inverted conveyor 17 is connected to a drive motor 26 which drives a conveyor 25 which is connected thereto, thereby controlling the circulation of the two belts 22, 22' in the conveying direction. In the inverted conveyor 17, the front side of the tile product W in the conveying direction is placed and supported by the two belts 22 and 22', and the back side of the tile product W is placed and supported so that the tile product W is horizontally supported in the inverted state. The diameters of the pulleys 20, 20', 21, 21' are set in accordance with the shape.

Next, to explain the operation of the inverted conveyance device for tile products according to the present invention, the tile products W transferred upright onto the upright conveyor 1 every predetermined number of tiles during the manufacturing process are transferred to the upright conveyor 1 by several chains 7, 7. ', 14, it is supported at three points, point A, point B, and point C, and is sequentially conveyed forward. When the tile product W reaches the delivery position 23 with the collapsed conveyor 17, only the center chain 14 ends at this position, so the support at the center point C is released and the tile product W Point A on both sides by chains 7 and 7',
It will be in a state where it is supported only by point B. In this state, the center of gravity of the tile product W is located ahead of points A and B, so the tile product W is released from support at the central point C and simultaneously moves forward using points A and B as fulcrums. The belt 2 is laid down, and the belt 2 is
The tile product W which is laid down by 2 and 22' is received and supported on the front side in the conveying direction, and is conveyed forward on belts 22 and 22' and sequentially delivered to the conveyor 25 connected to the next process and sent to the subsequent process. It is transported.

In short, the present invention provides chains 7 and 7' for mounting and supporting two opposing points on both sides of the lower surface of the tile product W in an upright state, and a point located approximately in the center of the tile product W and located forward of the two points in the conveying direction. . central chain 14
A starting point of a lying conveyor 17 for receiving and transporting tile products W in a lying state is arranged and connected in series at a delivery position 23 which is appropriately spaced forward in the transport direction from the terminal end, and the tile products W reach the delivery position 23. When I did this, I made the center point unsupported, so
The lower surface of the tile product W is supported at three points (point A, point B, point C) to stand up, and in a stable state, it is sequentially conveyed by the upright conveyor 1, and the upright conveyor 1 and the inverted conveyor 17. When reaching the delivery position 23, which is a continuous location, the support point C at the front in the conveyance direction is released, and points A and B are supported and stand up in the conveyance direction. Since the tile products W are laid down more gently, the tile products W contact the belts 22, 22' of the lodging conveyor 17 from the lower front side in the conveying direction to the upper side sequentially, and the front side in the conveying direction is received and supported, respectively. The frictional force between the belts 22 and 22' ensures that the tile product W is transported to the subsequent process, and since it touches the tile product W gently from the lower surface in the forward transport direction to the upper surface, it does not impact the tile product W and prevents cracks, etc. Its practical effects are enormous, such as being able to sequentially convey the material at a constant speed without causing any problems.
