Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a conveyor unit for a vertical drainboard type belt conveyor used to automatically transport objects such as documents that are frequently carried in offices, etc. More specifically, the present invention relates to a conveyor unit that can be attached to and detached from an existing vertical drainboard type belt conveyor and used to increase or decrease the number of conveyor routes.

(Prior art and its problems, etc.) For example, the vertical drainboard type belt conveyor described in the specification and drawings of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 57-48320 conveys as shown in FIG. 1A or 3A and B. A plurality of rows of guide rails 2, 2... are arranged in parallel at intervals W that are sufficient to allow the document 1 to be inserted upright, and these guide rails 2, 2...
Place the document 1 at the bottom between the rows of guide rails 2, 2.
It has a configuration in which belts 3, 3, and so on are installed to carry it along... More specifically, the guide rails 2, 2... are constructed in three stages, for example, in the vertical direction of the support columns 4, 4..., and the support columns 4, 4... are vertically fixed and erected on the base frame 5, and the guide rails 2, 2... are erected in the vertical direction of the support columns 4, 4... It has a configuration in which belt running rails 6, 6 are attached to a base frame 5 along two rail directions.

By the way, the conventional vertical drainboard type belt conveyor has a length l corresponding to the required number of conveyor routes.
The configuration was such that the above-mentioned components were incorporated on the base frame 5 (FIG. 1A). Therefore,
Once it has been laid, if you want to increase or reduce the number of conveyor routes in response to changes in the amount of conveyance, replace it with a base frame 5 of a different length corresponding to the desired number of conveyor routes and assemble it from the beginning. I had to do it all over again, which was extremely troublesome.

(Purpose of the invention, technical issues to be solved) Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to roughly divide each component of the vertical drainboard type belt conveyor into units (modules), and to create a conveyor route for the vertical drainboard type belt conveyor. To provide a conveyor unit for a vertical drainboard type belt conveyor, which is constructed so that construction work for expanding or reducing the number of conveyors can be easily and quickly carried out with labor savings.

(Structure of the invention, means for solving problems) In order to achieve the above object, the conveyor unit for the vertical drainboard type belt conveyor of this invention has a base frame of the length necessary to connect to the existing vertical drainboard type belt conveyor. and a pillar vertically erected on the base frame, and a guide rail of a predetermined length installed on each pillar of the base frame, which is arranged in a required number of parallel columns at a predetermined pitch in the longitudinal direction of the belt. , and a belt running rail of a predetermined length installed on one side of the support on the same front base frame.

(Operation and Effect) That is, this conveyor unit is attached to or removed from an existing vertical drainboard type belt conveyor by inserting and removing the base frame from the lateral direction. That is, by installing one conveyor unit, it is possible to add one conveyor route. Conversely, if you remove one, you can reduce the number of lines by one. However, in either case, the structure and function of the existing vertical drainboard type belt conveyor will not be affected in any way, and no modifications will be necessary.

Therefore, construction work to expand or reduce conveyor routes in response to increases or decreases in the amount of conveyance can be carried out easily, quickly, inexpensively, and without interfering with current operations, optimizing capacity for the amount of documents, etc. to be transported and improving economic efficiency. This makes it possible to do so easily.

(Example) Next, the illustrated embodiment will be explained.

Figure 1A shows the basic unit A of the vertical drainboard type belt conveyor, that is, the minimum unit of the vertical drainboard type belt conveyor forming one conveyor route. A conveyor unit B according to this invention is shown, which can be freely added and installed.

First, to briefly describe the configuration of the basic unit A shown in FIG. Two pillars 4, 4 are erected in parallel and vertically fixed with bolts 10 and nuts 11. A set of a base frame 5 and a support column 4 having a similar configuration extends approximately in the longitudinal direction.
The pillars 4 of each row are arranged parallel to each other in a single row at a pitch of about 800 mm, thus lining up in two rows...In between, there is a stainless steel guide of a predetermined length in the shape of a cap with a substantially trapezoidal cross section. Rails 2, 2, . . . are installed in three stages downward from the upper end of the support 4 at a pitch of about 100 mm each. As a result, a distance W = 20 mm is formed between the guide rails 2 attached to the left and right supports 4, 4, which is necessary for inserting the document 1 upright. On the other hand, a total of three stainless steel belt running rails 6, 6, 6 are attached and fixed on the base frame 5 between the two pillars 4, 4 and on both outer sides. The belt running rail 6 has a C-shaped steel shape with a downward cross section, and the endless belt 3 is laid across the upper surface of the belt running rail 6 located at the center and the inside of the hollow part.

In other words, if this basic unit A is installed, a single conveyor route is formed between the left and right columns 4, and a vertical drainboard type belt conveyor capable of conveying documents within that route is constructed.

On the other hand, in the case of conveyor unit B shown in FIG.
A pillar 4 of the same height and thickness is fixed with bolts 10 and nuts 11 and is erected vertically. Then, a base frame 5' and a support column 4 having a similar configuration are provided.
The required number of sets are arranged parallel to each other in a line with a pitch of about 800 mm in the longitudinal direction, and a stainless steel guide of the same shape and size as the above basic unit A is placed between the pillars 4 in a line. Rails 2... are also constructed downward in three stages from the upper end of the support 4 at the same pitch as the basic unit A. Also,
On the base frame 5', on the right side (or the left side is also acceptable) of the support column 4, a stainless steel belt running rule 6, which is also the same shape and size as the above-mentioned basic unit A, is attached and fixed with bolts 7 and nuts 8. .

That is, this conveyor unit B is arranged so that when the basic unit A in FIG. 1A is an existing vertical drainboard type belt conveyor, each base frame 5, 5' is slightly shifted from this (FIG. 3A). As shown in FIG.
By laying the belt 3 along the conveyor route, the conveyor route can be expanded to two lines as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3A and 3B. Of course, during this expansion work, the original conveyor route of basic unit A can continue to operate without any hindrance.

Furthermore, if another conveyor unit B is added, the conveyor route will be 3 as shown in Figure 4.
It can be a line. That is, the number of lines can be easily increased by adding the conveyor unit B.

Conversely, if the conveyor units B are removed in order from the outer ones, the number of lines can be reduced with the same ease.
