Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a sorting device.

Conventionally, as an example of sorting equipment, for example,
There is a configuration as seen in Publication No. 55-113304.
That is, a cargo unloading device is provided with a pair of left and right conveyor devices, a plurality of inclined chute devices are provided on the sides of the conveyor device and are orthogonally connected to the conveyor devices, and the load on the conveyor device is discharged to the inclined chute device. has been established. In this configuration, the code of the load conveyed by each conveyor device is detected, and the corresponding load discharging device is activated to discharge the load on the conveyor device to the inclined chute device, thereby sorting the load. is being carried out. The sorted cargo is then loaded onto trucks, which constitute a truck terminal. By the way, in this conventional sorting device, the conveyor devices are arranged in parallel, and the inclined chute devices are respectively arranged on the opposite side of the adjacent side of both conveyor devices. According to this conventional method, the loads from each conveyor device are discharged only to the corresponding inclined chute devices, and the loads from both conveyor devices cannot be discharged to all the inclined chute devices. Therefore, efficient sorting cannot be carried out, and furthermore, both conveyor devices must be operated even when they are separated, resulting in high operating costs such as electricity costs. Additionally, in truck terminals, the center of the building is usually raised, creating a dead space. Furthermore, in sorting equipment, there are times when some of the many inclined chute devices are not used for sorting.
Therefore, the area occupied by the tilting chute device when it is not in use is completely wasted, and it also becomes a hindrance to the passage of workers. For this, for example,
It is sufficient to raise and lower the chute as shown in Publication No. 52-143666, but in this conventional type, the corresponding one
Such a chute is only suitable for a single conveyor system; for example, it is not possible to arrange such a chute on a pair of left and right conveyor systems.

The purpose of the present invention is to enable efficient sorting work by discharging all chute bodies from a pair of conveyor devices, and to effectively utilize the space below the tilted chute device that is not in use. The point is to propose a device.

In order to achieve the above object, the sorting device of the present invention includes an upper conveyor device and a lower conveyor device, an inclined chute device connected orthogonally to the sides of these conveyor devices, and a tilted chute device connected to the upper conveyor device. The first half chute is composed of a first chute body connected to a conveyor device and a second chute body connected to a lower conveyor device, and one of these chute bodies is fixed to the side of the corresponding conveyor device. and a second half chute section that is vertically swingable with respect to the first half sheet section, and the other chute body is fixed to the side of the corresponding conveyor device, and a merging chute part that can be vertically swung and gradually joins and integrates with the second half chute part, and is provided with a lifting device for moving the integrated second half chute part and the merging chute part upward; A load discharging device is provided for discharging the upper load to the inclined chute device.

According to this configuration, it is possible to efficiently utilize the dead space to unload cargo from a pair of conveyor devices arranged above and below to all the inclined chute devices, and to carry out efficient sorting work. By hoisting the latter half of the first chute body and the merging chute part of the second chute body of the tilting chute device together by a lifting device, the space below the tilting chute device can be effectively utilized. It turns out.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Reference numeral 1 denotes a stand on whose upper surface a machine frame 2 is installed, and on this machine frame 2 an upper conveyor device 3 and a lower conveyor device 4 are arranged vertically (they may be offset to the left or right as long as they are in a vertical positional relationship) with the conveying directions being the same (or the opposite directions are also acceptable). Reference numeral 5 denotes both conveyor devices 3 and 4.
A plurality of inclined chutes 5 are provided at predetermined intervals along the length of both sides of the upper conveyor 3, 4.
The conveyor is composed of a first chute body 6 connected to the lower conveyor device 4, and a second chute body 7 connected to the lower conveyor device 4. The first chute body 6 is linear in plan view and is composed of a front half chute section 6A and a rear half chute section 6B. The second chute body 7 is composed of a front half chute section 7A parallel to the front half chute section 6A and a merging chute section 7B inclined toward the rear half chute section 6B and gradually merging with the rear half chute section 6B. The conveying surface (upper surface) of the first chute body 6 is formed by a smooth surface, and the conveying surface of the second chute body 7 is formed by a roller group. In the case of the roller group, all or part of the merging chute section 7B is formed by a tapered roller. Both front half chute sections 6A, 7A are integrated, and the rear half chute section 6
The start ends of the front half chute sections 6A, 7A are connected to the machine frame 2 via hinges 8, and the end ends are connected to a screw shaft 10 that is attached to the upper end of a vertically standing gate-shaped frame body 9 via a horizontal shaft 11. The start ends of the rear half chute section 6B and the merging chute section 7B are connected to a screw shaft 10 that is attached to the upper end of the gate-shaped frame body 9 so that it can be raised and lowered.
The rear shooter 6B is attached to the rear shooter 6B via a horizontal shaft 13 so as to be able to swing up and down, and the rear end of the rear shooter 6B is configured so as to be able to land on the ground via a leg 14.
The rail 16 and the rail 1 are lifted by a lifting device that lifts the rail 1 and the junction chute 7B around a horizontal shaft 13.
6 and a hoist 17 suspended and guided by the
A wire 18 from the hoist 17 can be attached to and detached from the end side of the rear chute section 6B. Opposite each chute body 6, 7 of the inclined chute device 5, on the opposite side of the conveyor devices 3, 4, there are provided load-discharging devices 20, 21 for discharging loads 19 on the conveyor devices 3, 4 to the chute bodies 6, 7. Reference numeral 22 denotes a carry-in line, 23 a guide plate, and 24 a shipping space.

The load 19 conveyed on the general receiving line 22 is subjected to attitude control by the guide plate 23 and then transferred to both conveyor devices 3 and 4. The code of the load 19 conveyed by the upper conveyor device 3 is detected, and the load is discharged to the first chute body 6 by the load discharge device 20 at a predetermined location. The discharged load 19 slides on the first chute body 6. In addition, the cargo 19 conveyed by the lower conveyor device 4 is also transferred to the cargo unloading device 21.
is discharged onto the second chute body 7. The load 19 discharged onto the second chute body 7 first slides on the first half chute portion 7A, and then slides on the merging chute portion 7B to get into (merge with) the first chute body 6. The load 19 that has reached the end of the first chute body 6 in this manner is loaded onto a truck parked in the shipping space 24. Here, since the merging type is used as described above, the adjacent rear chute portion 6B of the first chute body 6
A large space is created in between. Utilizing this space, the cargo 19 can be easily loaded by a worker, and the cargo 19 can also be loaded using a fork vehicle or the like.

When the load is small, it is sufficient to operate either one of the two conveyor devices 3, 4, and even if either conveyor device 3, 4 is in operation, the load can be delivered to all the inclined chute devices 5. .

The inclination angles of both the chute bodies 6 and 7 can be adjusted by raising and lowering the screw shafts 10 and 12.

In addition, when there is an inclination chute device 5 that is not used, the rear chute section 6 of the inclination chute device 5 is

In other words, it is possible to effectively utilize the dead space in the building and arrange the conveyor devices above and below, and it is possible to unload cargo from the upper and lower conveyor devices to all the inclined chute devices, resulting in efficient sorting. able to perform work. In addition, it can be expected to have twice the sorting capacity as the single format with almost the same footprint. Furthermore, in the event of a blockage, only one of the conveyor devices needs to be operated, so electricity costs can be reduced. Furthermore, by making them independent in terms of control, it is possible to respond quickly in the event of a downtime. Also, the second conveyor from the lower conveyor device
The cargo delivered to the chute body merges into the first chute body, and therefore only the first chute body can accommodate the truck, so it is necessary to create a large space behind the loading platform of the truck. By using this space, it is possible to easily load the cargo that has reached the end of the first chute body onto the truck loading platform, and also to easily carry out loading work using a forklift vehicle, a dolly, etc. be able to. Furthermore, by lifting the latter half of the first chute body and the merging chute part of the second chute body of the unused tilting chute device using a lifting device, the space below the tilting chute device can be sorted. It can be effectively used as a space for stacking cargo and for workers to pass through.
