[Object of the present invention]

It is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous vertical conveyance device which solves and eliminates all of the disadvantages and inconveniences mentioned above, is capable of conveying large quantities in any direction, and does not take up much space.

[Example of the present invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall side view for explaining the outline of the conveyance mechanism of this continuous conveyance device, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating part B includes a shaft 6, an inner chain wheel 4.4 and an outer chain wheel 4', which are fixed to the left and right sides of the shaft 6.
4'', and both sides of the shaft 6 are supported by bearings 5.5 provided in the casing.

The rotating part C has the same structure as the rotating part B1, and the rotating part C has the same structure as the rotating part B1, but as shown in FIG. 7 is a connecting fitting 3 that connects the outer endless chain 1' and the container G, which will be described later.
A notch 8 is provided in which the connecting fitting 3' is positioned when the connecting fitting 3' passes through.

Further, the rotating part A has the same structure as the rotating part Bl, but a driving chain wheel F is fixed to one end of the shaft rod 6, so that it is linked to the motor M via a speed reducer. is being done.

On the other hand, in the rotating part, a pair of left and right outer chain wheels 4', 4'' lack the middle part of the shaft rod, and are supported by left and right independent shaft rods 6'', 61, respectively. The rotating part E is supported by a bearing 5.5, and a pair of left and right inner chain wheels 4.4 are similarly supported on left and right independent shaft rods 6' and 6°, respectively. They are supported by left and right bearings 5, 5, respectively, and D' and the rotating part E° have the same structure as the rotating part E.

The conveying device of the present invention includes the rotating parts B1, D, E,
D', E', A, C, and B2 are each arranged at the required locations as shown in Fig. 1, and the inner endless chain l is connected to the rotating part B.
1, E, E', A, C, B2, and the outer endless chain 1' is attached to the rotating part - Horse, D, D'.
, A, C, and B2, and connect both sides of the front of the container G to two inner endless chains 1, and connect both rear sides to two outer endless chains 1.
The containers G are arranged in a row and connected to each other, and the containers G are horizontally moved laterally in the lateral transport section, and vertically rise at intervals while remaining unchanged in the rising section of the vertical transport section. It is. In the above, rotating parts, E, D', E
'The middle part of the shaft rod of the chain wheel was removed, and the left and right shaft rods were independent at 6°.
, 6° is to avoid that when the container G passes through the rotating part, the container crosses the middle part of the shaft rod and the passage is obstructed.In this embodiment, the front and rear of the container G The entire length of the container is long compared to the fulcrum spacing, and the front and rear ends of the container also have rotating parts E and D.
Since it crosses the middle part of the shaft rod of o, the rotating parts D, E and Do
, E', the middle part of the shaft is removed to form a cantilevered shaft.

In addition, the reason for providing notches 8 in the tooth ridges 7 of the inner chain wheel 4.4 of the rotating part C at several locations around the circumference through which the connecting fittings 3', 3', which support the rear part of the container pass. Since the teeth of the inner chain wheel 4.4 interfere with the connecting fittings 3'' and 3° when they pass, by cutting several places around the circumference of the inner chain wheel, rotation can be performed without any problem. This is a feature of this device.

In the above circular rotation, the container G moves to the rotating parts D, E and D.
When passing through O and E', the shaft of the chain wheel of the rotating section has an intermediate section missing, so that the container G is not hindered from passing by the shaft, and can pass through the rotating section C. When passing through, the tooth ridges of the inner chain wheels 4, 4 of the rotating part are removed at several points around the circumference, so that the connecting fittings 3°, 3'' between the outer endless chain 1° and the rear of the container are located. By providing the notch 8, the connecting fittings 3 and 31 ride on the inner chain wheel 4.4, and the container G can pass through without any trouble.

By configuring the continuous conveyance device of the present invention as described in detail, the vertical conveyance section, the lower lateral conveyance section, and the upper lateral conveyance section form a Z-shaped conveyance mechanism that rotates together. , both sides of the front of the container are connected to two endless chains on the inside, and both sides of the rear are connected to two endless chains on the outside, and during the transport process, the container moves in an upward position regardless of whether it moves vertically or horizontally. Since the structure is designed to allow loose items to be conveyed continuously and efficiently from the lower part to the upper part or from the F section to the lower part in any forward or reverse direction, the container assumes an upright position during the vertical return stroke. The installation area of the conveyor can be minimized.

When the container is rotated in circulation, the intermediate portions of the shaft rods of at least one pair of the outer chain wheel and the inner chain wheel at the upper and lower ends of the rising part of the vertical conveyance section are removed, and the vertical conveyance section At the intersection of the descending section and the upper lateral conveyance section,
Since a notch is provided for the connecting fitting that connects the outer endless chain and the container to be positioned when the connecting fitting passes through, it has the effect that the circular rotation of the container can be carried out smoothly without any hindrance.
When unloading bulk materials, it can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as transporting earth and sand in underground construction work, and transporting minerals in mines.

Therefore, bulk materials such as powder that are continuously supplied from the belt conveyor H to the upper part of the lower lateral conveyance section are not spilled outside due to the presence of the engaging material 13 that engages with the adjacent container, and are kept inside the container. The loaded container with loose materials moves laterally, then rises vertically in the rising part of the vertical conveyor, then horizontally in the upper lateral conveyor, and the internal loose objects are discharged from the container. and are sequentially discharged onto a conveyor belt located at the bottom of the bell.

4 to 8 are diagrams showing the relationship between the container G, the inner endless chain 1, the outer endless chain 1'', and the connecting fittings 3.3''.

W4 pipes 9.9' are arranged in parallel on the bottom of the container G,
For the front part of the container G, insert one side of the crank-shaped connecting fitting 3.3 into the left and right ends of the steel pipe, respectively, and fix it with the set screw ■0.
Insert the other end of the connecting fitting into the bottle holes provided at equal intervals in the link plate of the inner endless chain 1, and attach the split bottle 1.
Fix at step 7.

In addition, the rear part of the container G has crank-shaped connecting fittings 3'' and 3'', which have a bearing structure that can freely swing and rotate, on the left and right ends of the steel pipe 9' arranged on the bottom of the container, respectively. Insert the other end of the continuous metal fitting into the bottle hole spaced at equal intervals on the link plate of the outer endless chain 1', and then tighten the nut 2.
Fixed at 0.

As detailed above, here, the container G, the inner endless chain 1, the outer endless chain 1'', and the connecting fittings 3°,
3', when the containers G are arranged in a row at equal intervals, a gap is created between the containers G, but as shown in FIG. etc.,
This means that even if items are continuously loaded, it is now possible to receive them continuously into the container G without worrying about the items spilling out.

Moreover, by providing the engagement member t413 at the rear of the container G, after the conveyed articles are loaded, the conveyed articles are loaded onto the engaging material 134:, and as a means to scrape off the conveyed articles, the input port By providing a fin-scraping rubber or the like on the front part, it is possible to reliably put the objects to be transported into the container G without any hindrance, making it possible to carry out 7JF in a continuous transport process.

Further, the engagement member 13 is made of soft canvas-filled rubber or the like, and is removably fixed to the rear of the container G by a presser plate 14, a port 16, and an oak 17.

[Effects of the present invention]

Since the conveying device of the present invention has the characteristics as described in -,
The main effect is as follows:
It should be said that it is an extremely useful device that can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as transporting earth and sand during underground construction work and transporting minerals in mines.

1. A large amount of objects can be transported to the dog not only downward and horizontally but also in any direction.

2. In the lateral conveyance section, the engaging material such as a rubber plate provided on the container is configured to engage with the adjacent container or the engaging material provided on the adjacent container, which prevents loose materials such as powder from falling out. Therefore, the conveyance efficiency is good.

3 Does not require the same space as a belt conveyor,
Only a small amount of floor space is required.
