Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of use in IL industry) The present invention is designed to overlap and slide at the center of a support frame installed perpendicularly to a conveyance path, a return path, and an output path. With an arbitrary number of gripping parts and suction parts, it is possible to carry out different tasks at the same time, such as transferring an arbitrary number of saggers to the return route, unpacking them, and transferring them to the carry-out route, reducing work time and downsizing. Regarding automatic pod dispensing machine.

(Prior art) Various devices have been developed and used to automate the process of removing fired products such as ceramics from sagger pots after firing. The stacked saggers transported along the conveyance path 1- are picked up one by one using a grip provided on an arbitrary conveyance path such as a turntable, and transferred to the return path L, rotated, etc. , the baked products inside are suctioned and supported by the suction part, and only the saggers are unloaded onto the return path, and the baked products that have been suctioned by rotation etc. are transferred to the unloading path J-
There are some types of hats that have to be unloaded repeatedly, and due to their structure, only m pieces can be output at a time, so they can only be used for a single task.In order to increase production speed, transfer, rotation, etc. There is no choice but to increase the speed of production, and the -L limit of production speed is physically approaching, and the demand for high-speed shedding machines is increasing.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, the present invention has been developed.In view of the current situation where the reduction of the time required to put out the pods per piece is almost reaching its limit, this can be done by performing different tasks at the same time to put out a large number of pods. The purpose is to improve production efficiency by reducing work time and downsizing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the present invention is capable of intermittent operation of a conveyance path for storing fired products and carrying stacked saggers for transport.
On one side of the conveyance path, parallel to this, is a return path where the saggers that have been taken out are placed and returned, and further outside of the return path in a W row, the fired products are transported. A carry-out route is provided for loading and carrying out the transport route, and a support frame is also constructed perpendicularly to a part of these transport route-1. An arbitrary number of gripping parts are provided that can be slid back and forth to transfer the saggers to the middle part, and the gripping parts are arranged opposite to these to absorb the fired products by polymerizing in the central part, and from the upper part of the return route to the carrying out route. The same number of suction parts are installed to allow for reciprocating sliding in order to transfer the fired product to the storage part.
In addition, from the conveyance path to the gripping part, there is a holding part for holding the pot.

(Operation) The present invention configured by the above means is such that the saggers store the products to be fired, are stacked on a trolley, etc., are connected as appropriate, pass through a tunnel kiln, etc., and are fired one after another. It is placed on the conveyance path. The conveyance path is operated intermittently by repeatedly moving and stopping in units of the length of the trolley, and the support frame supports an arbitrary number of gripping sections at intervals of one trolley, and the support frame supports an arbitrary number of gripping sections at intervals of one trolley. Since the same number of lifting parts are arranged, the carriages from the first cart to the arbitrary number stop directly below each gripping part. When stopped, each lifting section simultaneously lifts one tier of each stacking sagger to the height of the gripping section. Each gripping part grips only the upper sagger, slides onto the return path, and overlaps with the same number of suction parts waiting, and each suction part adsorbs the fired product in each sagger. Waiting for this, only the unpacked saggers are placed on the return path and returned to the conveyance path. The suction unit that has adsorbed the baked product slides onto the delivery path, places the baked product on the delivery path, and then returns to the return path. The second part of the holding section lifts the stacked saggers, which have become one step lower due to the removal of the upper ones, by one more step, so that the new upper ones are at the height of the gripping section. The gripping section again grips only one tier of saggers and repeats the same operation as described above, and the suction section also repeats the same operation, and when the saggers on the cart run out, the conveyance table moves by an arbitrary number of carts. Then, it is lifted again and the pods are removed from the upper stage by gripping, suction, returning, and carrying out operations, so that the number of pods corresponding to the number of gripping sections provided is carried out at one time.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with continued reference to the drawings.

It is made to move downward and hold the stacked saggers K up to the grip part 54.

Continuing on, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 4 to 9.

FIG. 4 shows the first step, in which the cart 11 with seven stacked saggers K is transferred from the front of the drawing to the gripping part 54.
When it is stopped directly below, the piston rod 521 is pushed down from the double-acting cylinder 52 of the gripping mechanism 5, the actuating body 53 is drooped, and both arms of the gripping part 54 grip the side wall of the upper sagger. When the height is reached, the sagger K is held between the arm tightening cylinders.

Figure 5 shows the second process, with a single-stage sagger
is held by the gripping portion 54.

The double-acting cylinder 52 has a screw I/N rod 521.
As a result, the actuating body 53 has a distance of 10 M with the gripping portions 54 that hold the 1!11 pots K, so that the stacked state is further removed and the actuating body 53 can be moved in the horizontal direction.

FIG. 6 shows the third stage, in which when the stacked state of the saggers is released, the gripping mechanism 5 is moved to the center via the piston rod 421 of the double-acting cylinder 42 (not shown). The sagger that is drawn and held by the gripping part 54 overlaps with the suction part 64 which is arranged oppositely and is waiting in the return path 2-L, and is located directly thereon, so that the suction mechanism 6 is not The movable cylinder 62 pushes out the piston rod 621 to bring it into contact with the plate P, which is the baked product inside the sagger, and then suctions the air in the suction part 64 through an air pipe (not shown) to suction the plate P. let

FIG. 7 shows the fourth step, in which when the suction unit 64 suctions the plate P, the double-acting cylinder 52 of the gripping mechanism 5
In this case, the piston rod 521 is pushed down again until the sagger K comes into contact with the return path 2, and then the arm tightening cylinder is released to release the clamping state, so that the empty sagger is loaded onto the return path 2. and then returned to the required collection location.

Figure 8 shows the -f+-1th stage, and shows the sagger K.
The gripping mechanism 5 that has transferred the sagger to the return path 2 returns to the cart ll, but at this time, the double-acting cylinder of the lifting part 7 71 and trolley 1
The piston rod 72 is pushed through the opening 111 provided in the center of the floor of the gripper 54.
It is lifted to the lowering position and is waiting.

- On the other hand, the suction mechanism 6 lowers the plate P onto the unloading path 3 with the suction part 64 suctioning it, and the double-acting cylinder 62 pushes the piston rod 621 until the plate P is placed on the unloading path 3. Then, the suction in the air pipe is stopped to release the suction state, and the plate P is transferred to the carry-out path 3.

FIG. 9 shows the first repeating process, in which the gripping mechanism 5 lowers the gripping part 54 to grip the sagger K, and the suction mechanism 6 returns to the return path 2 and waits. are doing.

By repeating the above operation, the pod dispensing machine S is able to dispense pods two at a time, and when all the saggers K stacked on the cart 11'' have been transferred, they are transferred to the conveyor path 11. is programmed so that the carriage 11 is moved forward by two units, and the next carriage 11 comes under the grip portion 54.

In addition, in this example, a case will be explained in which two gripping parts, a suction part, and a lifting part are arranged in series for each passage, and a case in which the holding part is inserted through a cart to push up the sagger is explained. Although described above, the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and it is possible to use one or more gripping portions, etc., within the range that achieves the above-mentioned purpose and operation of the present invention, and the effects of the invention described later. It may be added arbitrarily, or a structure may be adopted in which a part of the sagger is lifted by holding the lowest sagger, etc., and these may be selected as appropriate. It goes without saying that none of these changes alters the gist of the present invention.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained in detail above, the present invention provides a transport path, a return path,
The carry-out path is arranged in parallel, and an arbitrary number of holding parts arranged in series with the transport path simultaneously grips an arbitrary number of saggers with the same number of gripping parts arranged on the upper part. The saggers are moved across the transport route, and only the stored fired products are adsorbed to the same number of suction units waiting on the return route, and the empty saggers are transferred to the return route and immediately placed on the transport route. It returns, grips the sagger waiting to be lifted with the holding L part, and slides it onto the return path again.

In the meantime, the suction unit that previously adsorbed the fired product transfers the fired product to the unloading route and waits on the return route, so the masters work together nonstop to pick up the fired product again. This makes it possible to do different tasks at the same time, such as putting out the produce, thereby shortening the working time. Furthermore, since it is easy to arrange these in any combination, the efficiency of the shedding work is dramatically improved.In addition, the conventional method using turntables, etc., requires three types of passages. It was difficult to arrange them in parallel and required a large installation space, but with the present invention, all of these can be arranged in parallel and three-dimensionally, so it can be made smaller and takes up less space. This is an excellent invention in practical use, as it allows for mass production.
