[Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-134128 (published on Aug. 1, 1984) [Patent Document 2] JP-A-5-294328 (published on November 9, 1993)

However, a distribution product of an adsorbent such as spherical adsorption charcoal can be deformed due to volume expansion or volumetric shrinkage due to variation in temperature after distribution. Deformation of the distribution product causes problems in the box, storage and transportation.

In the process of charging the spherical adsorbent into the respective distribution wrapping paper, the spherical adsorbent is preliminarily packed in one of the inside of each distribution wrapping paper, and after the filling, the distribution wrapping paper is shrunk, And the distribution products kept in the state of being collected in the state of being collected. In this manufacturing line, the distribution products are manufactured in the form of a soft body, and then the soft bodies are stacked and shipped. In the case of any distribution, the spherical adsorbent is filled on one side, And there is a possibility of causing problems in storage, transportation, and the like.

Therefore, the inventors of the present application have pointed out that the spherical adsorbent is filled in one side so that the surface of the soft body (distribution product) becomes irregular, and by integrating the soft body (distribution product) (Distributed products) can be integrated in accordance with the irregularities of the soft pouches (distributed products) so as to make the accumulations stable and compact as a result of studying hardly, , And a distribution product (soft foam) interposed between them, which does not interfere with the conveyance, and an integrated device.

That is, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an integrated line (conveying line), which can be integrated with the irregularities of the objects An object of the present invention is to provide an accumulation method and an accumulation device of an object which can be conveyed without clogging.

That is, in order to solve the above-described problem, a method of integrating an integrated body according to the present invention is a method of integrating a plurality of integrated circuits, each of which has a region on one end side thereof protruded compared with a region on the other end side An inversion work unit divided into upper and lower layers capable of inserting an object to be collected in the same direction in each layer provided in a conveying path for conveying the object to be collected in a predetermined conveying direction sequentially at a constant conveying timing, The direction of the object to be inserted inserted into the upper layer of the lower layer is inverted so that the position of the one end of the object to be collected and the position of the other end of the object are mutually exchanged, The reversing operation unit is used to invert the directions of the objects to be sequentially transported and the objects to be reversed and the objects to be reversed are alternately integrated A thickness, which is integrated in the integrated pijip backlog pijip backlog how to integrate overlapping the one end-side region and the end side region of the other side of the other,

Wherein the replenishment object conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction in succession at the predetermined conveyance timing from the upstream portion upstream of the reversing operation portion provided in the conveying path in the predetermined conveying direction is always conveyed at the same height as the upstream portion And an inserting operation step of alternately inserting the object to be replicated into the upper layer and the lower layer of the upper and lower layers of the reversing operation section at the predetermined conveyance timing,

At each of the transport timings, transports any collected object received from the upstream portion at the immediately preceding transport timing to the upper layer or the lower layer, and at the same time, And the inserting operation unit having a mechanism for receiving a portion at the same height as the inserting operation unit is used.

According to the above method, the area on one side of the protruded end and the area on the other side of the other end which is not protruded from the area on the other end side can be overlapped with each other so that the accumulation is stable and compact, In realizing this while conveying the line, it is possible to provide an accumulation method in which a collective body (for example, a distribution product or a soft body) can convey the conveyance line without delay.

Concretely, a plurality of objects to be collated, in which an area on one end side is protruded in comparison with an area on the other end side, is successively transported in a predetermined transport direction at a predetermined transport timing The objects to be collected are transported in the same direction until reaching the inversion work part, and therefore, of the plurality of objects to be transported, the objects to be collected, which are located at every other location in the transport direction, And is inverted by using the inversion operation unit. Therefore, when the arrangements of the objects to be collected conveyed from the inversion work portion are integrated in the order of arrangement, one edge of the accumulation after the accumulation is arranged at one end (an end portion having the projected region) and the other end (The end having the non-protruding region) and the other end (another end having the protruding region) of another collecting body, and the protruding end and the non-protruding end alternate with each other They are arranged and matched with each other. On the other hand, the other edge of the aggregate is, depending on the accumulation direction, the other end (the end having the non-protruding region) of the object and the other end (the end having the protruding region ) And the other end (the end having the non-protruding region) of the other collecting body, and the protruding end portion and the non-protruding end portion are arranged alternately and fit together. Thus, the aggregate is structurally stable because the end having the protruding region and the end having the non-protruding region are matched with each other, and the edges of the collecting body are aligned with each other according to the accumulating direction, so that the accumulation becomes compact.

In addition, in the inserting operation step, an object to be collected, which is successively conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction at the predetermined conveyance timing from the upstream portion, is always received at the same height as the upstream portion, An insert having a mechanism for transporting the aggregate to the upper layer or the lower layer at the next conveyance timing and for receiving another collected object located at the upstream portion following the object to be collected at the same height as the upstream portion, Work part is used. As will be described later in detail, if the object to be collected, which is conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction in succession at the predetermined conveyance timing from the upstream portion as described above, is conveyed by using any movable table, When the upper and lower levels of the upper and lower layers are divided in accordance with the height of each layer in the upper and lower layers and the upper and lower parts are moved at a higher speed, The impacted object falls from the position of the object due to the impact or the positional deviation occurs on the worn position and the object can not be transported. However, if the speed of the vertical movement of the placement table is slowed down in order to stably divide it, the constant transportation timing must be slowed accordingly, so that the productivity of the integrated product significantly deteriorates. Similarly, in order to receive an object to be collected conveyed at a constant conveyance timing from the upstream portion during the vertical movement of one placement table, it is necessary to adjust the timing of the vertical movement of the placement table and the timing of conveying the object to be collected conveyed from the upstream portion If the timing is shifted even slightly, only a part of the collected object moves up and down in a state of being placed on the table, and there is a fear that the object to be collected is sandwiched between the upstream portion and the placement table, or the object to be collected is deformed and conveying is delayed. On the other hand, according to the accumulation method of the present invention, since the insertion operation portion is used, the object to be collected, which is successively conveyed in the predetermined conveyance direction at a constant conveyance timing from the upstream portion, can always be received at the same height as the upstream portion , The above-mentioned pincushion or deformation can not occur. In addition, since the above-described insertion operation portion is used, it is possible to convey an object to be collected, which is received from the upstream portion at a certain conveyance timing, to the upper layer or the lower layer at the next conveyance timing, Can be received at the same height as the upstream portion. It can also be said that there are at least two layers in the insertion operation part at least temporarily. As a result, as compared with the case of using one mount as described above, it is possible to smooth up and down operation when dividing while maintaining the constant transport timing. Therefore, the above-mentioned problem does not occur in the case of using one mount.

Therefore, according to the above method, the object to be collected can be conveyed without delay.

In addition, as an embodiment of the collecting method according to the present invention, it is preferable that, in each of the upstream portion, the inserting portion and the reversing portion, the upstream side end portion in the predetermined carrying direction The respective collecting bodies can be brought into contact with each other so as to be brought into contact with the fins moving toward the predetermined conveying direction.

According to the above method, since the pin is relatively light, there is an advantage that it can be moved with less power. In addition, if the distribution piece is caught, the pin breaks and a fatal failure of the apparatus main body can be avoided. In addition, since it can be exchanged directly as a consumable item, and the contact area with the distribution product is relatively small, there is an advantage that it is not easily scratched.

 In addition, as an embodiment of the method for collecting an object according to the present invention, in addition to the above, the fin is provided in each of the upstream portion, the insertion operation portion, and the reverse operation portion, And is configured to penetrate a hole provided in the conveying path and formed along a direction in which the conveying path extends,

The pin is moved through the hole from the upstream side end portion to the downstream side end portion in the predetermined conveying direction in each of the upstream portion, the insertion operation portion and the reversal operation portion, The pins are pulled out of the holes to move in a direction opposite to the predetermined conveying direction, and again from the upstream side, the pins are passed through the holes And moves in the predetermined conveying direction so that the objects to be collected are successively conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction.

In addition, as an embodiment of the method of integrating an object according to the present invention, in addition to the above, the insertion operation unit is constituted of two upper and lower layers capable of inserting an object to be assembled into each layer, And is configured to move up and down integrally,

 According to the above method, the object to be collected can be conveyed without delay.

As an aspect of the method for collecting an object according to the present invention, the above-described insertion operation unit may be configured to include a first placement surface and a second placement surface on which an object to be filled is placed, In addition,

The first placement surface and the second placement surface can be independently changed in height between the inversion operation portion and the upstream portion, and when the height is the same, On the other hand, in the case where the heights are different from each other,

The height of the upper layer of the inversion work portion and the height of the upstream portion are equal to each other when the workpiece is inserted into the upper layer of the inversion work portion from the insertion work portion,

 The second placement surface is configured such that the object to be collected is always received from the upstream portion at the same height as the upstream portion and is lowered from the height between the reverse operation portion and the upstream portion,

Between the reversing operation portion and the upstream portion, the first placement surface is located between the position at the same height as the upper layer of the reversal operation portion and the position at the same height as the lower layer of the reversal operation portion, And moves in the vertical direction,

Wherein when the workpiece is inserted into the lower layer of the inversion work part, the first workpiece surface and the second workpiece surface are sandwiched between the inversion work part and the upstream part together with the lower layer of the inversion work part The lower layer of the reversing operation unit is lowered to the same height, the replenishment object received from the upstream portion is inserted into the lower layer of the reversing operation unit,

Wherein when the workpiece is inserted into the upper layer of the workpiece reversing portion, the first workpiece is moved from the same height as the lower layer of the workpiece reversing portion to the same height as the upstream portion, It is preferable that the tooth surface is elevated so that the object to be assembled which has received the second placement surface from the upstream portion is received from the second placement surface and the object to be assembled is inserted into the upper layer of the inversion operation portion.

According to the above method, the object to be collected can be conveyed without delay.

In addition, as an embodiment of the collecting method according to the present invention, it is preferable that, in each of the upstream portion, the inserting portion and the reversing portion, the upstream side end portion in the predetermined carrying direction The respective objects to be collected are brought into contact with each other so as to be brought into contact with each other so as to convey the objects in a predetermined conveying direction,

It is preferable that the second mounting surface is provided on a mounting table which moves integrally with the pin.

According to the above method, the operation of one layer of the insertion operation unit and the operation of the pin can be made common, and control is facilitated.

Further, in order to solve the above problems, an integrated device for an integrated body according to the present invention,

A plurality of objects to be collated protruding in comparison with an area on the side of the other end portion side of the region on one end side are successively conveyed in a predetermined conveying direction at a predetermined conveyance timing And an accumulating unit for accumulating the plurality of objects to be collected after conveyed, the accumulating unit comprising:

Wherein the inserting operation unit is configured to transport the replenishment object received from the upstream portion at the immediately preceding conveyance timing to the upper layer or the lower layer at each conveyance timing, And a mechanism for receiving the droplets at the same height as the upstream portion,

Wherein the stacking unit sequentially stacks the plurality of stacked stacked bodies obtained by inverting the direction of the stacked stacked body to which the inversion work units are sequentially transported in order to stack the stacked stacked bodies that are not inverted with the stacked stacked stacked bodies, And the area on the side of the one end side and the area on the other side end side of each other are stacked and integrated.

According to the above arrangement, it is possible to superimpose the area of the protruding one end side with the area of the other end side which is not protruded from the area of the one end side, so that the accumulated material becomes stable and compact, In order to realize this while conveying the line, it is possible to provide an accumulation device capable of conveying a conveyance line without delay (for example, a distribution article or a soft body).

Concretely, a plurality of objects to be collated, in which an area on one end side is protruded in comparison with an area on the other end side, is successively transported in a predetermined transport direction at a predetermined transport timing The objects to be collected are transported in the same direction until reaching the inversion work part, and therefore, of the plurality of objects to be transported, the objects to be collected, which are located at every other location in the transport direction, And is inverted by using the inversion operation unit.

Thus, the aggregate is structurally stable because the end having the protruding region and the end having the non-protruding region are matched with each other, and the edges of the collecting body are aligned with each other according to the accumulating direction, so that the accumulation becomes compact.

Further, in the inserting operation means, an object to be collected, which is successively conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction at the predetermined conveying timing from the upstream portion, is always received at the same height as the upstream portion, An insert having a mechanism for transporting the aggregate to the upper layer or the lower layer at the next conveyance timing and for receiving another collected object located at the upstream portion following the object to be collected at the same height as the upstream portion, Work part is used. As will be described later in detail, if the object to be collected, which is conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction in succession at the predetermined conveyance timing from the upstream portion as described above, is conveyed by using any movable table, When the upper and lower levels of the upper and lower layers are divided in accordance with the height of each layer in the upper and lower layers and the upper and lower parts are moved at a higher speed, The impacted object falls from the position of the object due to the impact or the positional deviation occurs on the worn position and the object can not be transported. However, if the speed of the vertical movement of the placement table is slowed down in order to stably divide it, the constant transportation timing must be slowed accordingly, so that the productivity of the integrated product significantly deteriorates. Similarly, in order to receive an object to be collected conveyed at a constant conveyance timing from the upstream portion during the vertical movement of one placement table, it is necessary to adjust the timing of the vertical movement of the placement table and the timing of conveying the object to be collected conveyed from the upstream portion If the timing is shifted even slightly, only a part of the collected object moves up and down in a state of being placed on the table, and there is a fear that the object to be collected is sandwiched between the upstream portion and the placement table, or the object to be collected is deformed and conveying is delayed. On the other hand, according to the accumulating apparatus of the present invention, since the inserting operation portion is used, the collecting object conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction can be always received at the same height as the upstream portion at a constant conveying timing from the upstream portion , The above-mentioned pincushion or deformation can not occur.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method and an integrated device for collecting an object according to the present invention will be described.

The accumulation method of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of objects to be collected, which are sequentially transported in a predetermined transport direction at a constant transport timing, are reversed one by one. As will be described later in detail, each of the collecting assemblies has a region on one side of the protruding portion (hereinafter, referred to as a convex portion) and a region on the other side of the other side portion One of the ends of the integrated matter obtained by stacking in the order of conveying by inverting the directions every other one of them is a concave portion of an object to be condensed, a convex portion of another object to be condensed, a concave portion of another object to be condensed And these concave portions and convex portions are alternately arranged to be in a state of fitting (engaged) with each other. On the other hand, the other end portion of this accumulation also leads to the convex portion of the object to be condensed, the concave portion of the object to be condensed and the convex portion of another object to be condensed according to the accumulation direction, and these concave portions and convex portions are arranged alternately So that they are in a state in which they are in perfect fit with each other.

As an embodiment of realizing the accumulation method of the present invention, the accumulation device 1 of this embodiment shown in Fig. 4 can be used, and the above-mentioned reversing operation can be performed by the reversing operation part 4 of Fig. 4 .

Hereinafter, prior to the description of the details of the accumulation method and the accumulation apparatus of the present embodiment, the accumulation method and the problems to be solved by the accumulation apparatus of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

1 is a cross-sectional view of an integrated body integrated by applying the integration method of this embodiment. In the present embodiment, as an example of an assembled body, a soft body to which a distribution product is connected will be described as an example. More specifically, a soft capsule to which three distribution products each containing a spherical pharmaceutical activated carbon having a diameter of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm (hereinafter referred to as activated carbon fine particles) are connected is described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

As described above, the present inventors have found that, in the course of charging the activated carbon fine particles as the spherical adsorbent into the individual distribution wrapping paper, the activated carbon fine particles are accumulated in advance on one side of the inside of each distribution wrapping paper, As shown in Fig. 1, the activated carbon fine particles were held on one side so that the one end side region was swollen more than the other end side side region, and the distribution product 8 Are conveyed in the form of three linked soft bodies 80 in the conveying line, and a plurality of soft bodies 80 are stacked in the conveying order and banded in a predetermined number of layers.

However, in the previous conveyance line shown in Fig. 2, each soft foam body 80 is conveyed on the conveyance line in a state of lying in the same direction, and the soft foam body 80 is stacked in this conveyance order. 3, the soft porous bodies 80 are piled up so that the portions (puffed portions) filled with activated carbon fine particles are overlapped with each other. Therefore, the integrated matter obtained by integration becomes structurally unstable. This results in difficulties in putting in a post-process box or in preservation and transportation.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the present embodiment reverses the direction of the plurality of flexible bodies 80, which are sequentially transported in a predetermined transport direction at a constant transport timing. 5 is a view showing a conveying path showing a state in which the soft bodies 80, which are successively conveyed in a predetermined conveying direction at a constant conveying timing, are reversed one by one. As shown in Fig. 5, when the flexible bodies 80 are stacked in the order in which they are transported on the conveying path by reversing the flexible bodies 80 one by one, as shown in Fig. 6, one edge of the accumulated matter Depending on the integration direction, the concave portion of a soft body 80, the convex portion of another soft body 80, the concave portion of another soft body 80, and the concave portion and the convex portion alternately arranged, And the other edge of the accumulation leads to the convex portion of the soft soft body 80, the concave portion of the soft soft body 80 and the convex portion of the soft soft body 80 according to the accumulation direction, The concave portion and the convex portion are alternately arranged and fit each other.

In this way, the structure in which the concave portion and the convex portion are engaged with each other makes the integrated structure structurally stable, so that the work can be performed without delay in the above-mentioned banding, boxing, storage, transportation and the like, . In this embodiment, such an inverting operation is included in a conventional production line to realize a mechanism in which the soft body 80 is transported without delay.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the integrated device 1 of the present embodiment. The pin 6 for conveying the soft body 80 is provided in the accumulating device 1 of the present embodiment and the upstream portion 2, the insertion operation portion 3, the reverse operation portion 4, (5) are arranged in this order along the soft carrier transport direction (the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 4) of one transport path.

In the following description, for example, in the case where the upstream portion 2 is viewed as the center, the upstream side portion 2 is referred to as an upstream portion and the upstream portion 2 is referred to as an upstream portion. 2) is conveyed downstream of the upstream portion (2). That is, for example, the insertion operation part 3 is downstream of the upstream part 2 and the upstream part 2 is upstream of the insertion operation part 3. [

In the present embodiment, one conveying path is described, but a plurality of conveying paths may be provided in parallel to realize the accumulating method of the present embodiment at the same time in a plurality of conveying paths.

Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail.

(pin)

As shown in Fig. 4, four pins 6 are provided along the conveying direction, and these four pins 6 are connected to each other at the lower end. The distance between the pin 6 and the pin 6 is set to be slightly longer than the length in the longitudinal direction of the object to be cleaned (softened). The length of the upstream part 2, the insertion work part 3 and the reverse operation part 4 are equal to each other, and the length thereof is substantially the same as the interval between the pin 6 and the pin 6 A through hole (through hole) capable of moving from the upstream side to the downstream side in the carrying direction is provided in the upstream portion 2, the insertion operation portion 3, and the reverse operation portion 4, . Therefore, if one of the four fins 6 is placed in the upstream portion 2, the insertion operation portion 3 and the reverse operation portion 4, the four fins 6 are integrally moved from upstream to downstream in the transport direction, Can be moved downstream one by one.

The pin 6 is configured to pass the upstream portion 2, the insertion operation portion 3, and the reverse operation portion 4 from the lower side to the upper side through the through hole. The operation of the pin 6 will be described later.

The pin 6 that moves the upstream portion 2 of the four pins 6 from upstream to downstream has the same structure as that of the upstream portion 2 except that the forward portion of the upstream portion 2, Structure.

(Upstream portion)

The upstream section 2 is a section that receives soft porcelain 80 (composed of three connected distributed products in which activated carbon fine particles are distributed), which is sequentially transported upstream. In the present embodiment, the upstream portion 2 is disposed and installed downstream of a charger (not shown) in which activated carbon fine particles are distributed, and the soft porcelain 80 sequentially discharged from the charging device is conveyed to the upstream portion 2 .

In the upstream portion 2, the soft body 80, which has been conveyed sequentially from upstream, is conveyed to the insertion work portion 3 located downstream at a predetermined conveyance timing. Here, the upstream portion 2 may be configured to transport the soft body 80, which has been conveyed in succession at a constant conveyance timing, from the upstream side to the downstream while maintaining the constant conveyance timing, or alternatively, The structure in which the porous body 80 can be stacked and accommodated is provided in the upstream portion 2 and the accommodated soft body 80 is sequentially transported from the upstream portion 2 at the newly set transport timing. That is, it is not necessary to make the timing and the conveying speed at which the soft porcelain 80 is conveyed upstream of the upstream portion 2, and the timing and conveying speed at which the soft porcelain 80 is conveyed downstream of the upstream portion 2.

Further, in the conveying path, the soft body 80 is continuously conveyed. That is, when the timing chart is used, there is provided a rectification (stoppage time) between the transporting time (transporting time) and the transporting time.

The length of the conveying path constituting the upstream portion 2 is slightly longer than the length of one soft body 80. Therefore, the soft bodies 80, which are sequentially transported at a constant transport timing, pass through the upstream portion 2 one by one. At the time of stopping the conveyance, one soft body 80 is rectified (laid) in the upstream portion 2.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the soft furnace body 80 (length of about 25 cm along the conveying direction) moves at a conveying speed of about 30 cm / sec during conveyance (one second) , And the residence time between the transporting time and the transporting time is set to about 2.5 seconds. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be arbitrarily set.

Any soft body 80 temporarily retained in the upstream portion 2 is transported to the inserting work portion 3 located downstream of the upstream portion 2 at the next transport timing (i.e., immediately after the retention).

Prior to the detailed description of the insertion operation unit 3, the reverse operation unit 4 located downstream of the insertion operation unit 3 will be described.

(Reverse operation part)

The inverting operation portion 4 has a structure divided into upper and lower layers capable of inserting the soft body 80 into each layer. The soft bodies (80) inserted into each layer are all sequentially conveyed to the reversing operation portion (4) in the same direction. That is, both the upstream portion 2 and the soft body 80 that carries the insertion operation portion 3 are all located at the one end with the convex portion as the head, as shown in the timing (1) Lt; / RTI >

The reversing operation portion 4 is arranged so that the direction of the flexible body 80 inserted into the upper layer of the upper and lower layers is set so that the position of one end portion with the convex portion of the soft body 80 and the position of the other end portion with the concave portion To reverse.

Concretely, in both the upper and lower layers of the upper and lower two layers of the reversing working portion 4, it is possible to carry the soft body 80 placed at the retention time in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 9 at the timing of the conveyance . The difference between the upper layer and the lower layer is that the upper layer has a mechanism for reversing at the time of staying at the upper side of the lower layer. There is no mechanism to reverse the lower layer.

8 is a perspective view showing the state of the upper layer at the time of transportation. The upper layer has a cylindrical structure extending in the transport direction, and the length of the cylindrical structure is the same as that of the lower layer, specifically, slightly longer than the length of one soft body 80. Therefore, the soft bodies 80, which are sequentially transported at a predetermined timing, pass through the reverse operation unit 4 one by one.

As shown in Fig. 8, through holes 4a 'are provided along the carrying direction on the upper surface (upper surface) and the lower surface (lower surface) of the upper layer (surfaces facing the lower layers of the upper and lower layers) The pin (6) penetrates through the hole (4a ') from the lower side toward the upper side.

The pin 6 moves downward from the upstream side in the carrying direction of the through-hole 4a 'in the transport direction to press the flexible body 80 inserted in the upper-side cylinder portion from behind in the carrying direction So that the soft body 80 is transported in the transport direction.

The pin 6 also passes through the through hole 4b 'provided in the lower layer. That is, the through holes 4a '

The through holes 4b 'are formed in parallel and one pin 6 passes through the through holes 4a' and the through holes 4b '. The pin 6 moves the through hole 4a 'and the through hole 4b' from the upstream side to the downstream side in the carrying direction at a predetermined timing (during conveyance) When the inserted soft body 80 is inserted, the soft soft body 80 is transported downstream from the upper layer. When the soft soft body 80 is inserted into the lower layer, the soft soft body 80 is transported downstream from the lower layer.

The upper layer is configured to perform the inversion operation at the time of stay, and the lower surface before the inversion becomes the upper surface and the upper surface before the inversion becomes the lower surface (the surface facing the lower layer of the upper and lower layers). Therefore, when the flexible body 80 is inserted into the upper portion of the cylinder, the inverted body 80 is inverted by reversing the inserted state. Here, the pins 6 are passed through the through holes 4a 'from the lower side toward the upper side after the reversal. Therefore, during conveyance after the inversion, pressing can be applied to the soft body 80 in the tub portion inverted together with the upper layer from behind in the conveying direction.

In other words, any flexible body 80 inserted in the upper layer during transportation is reversed at the subsequent retention, and is carried out from the upper layer toward the downstream of the reverse operation part 4 during the subsequent continuous transportation.

On the other hand, as described above, there is no mechanism for inverting the lower layer. Therefore, the soft foam body 80 inserted into the lower layer is not inverted but is moved toward the downstream side of the reverse operation part 4 at the time of subsequent conveyance by the pin 6 passing through the through hole 4b ' Out.

Here, the soft foam body 80, which is conveyed to the inversion work section 4 at a predetermined timing (every time of conveyance) from the insertion work section 3 upstream thereof, is alternately inserted into the upper and lower layers of the inversion work section 4 . That is, the first soft soft body 80, the second soft soft body 80, the third soft soft body 80, and the fourth soft soft body 80 are arranged in this order at a predetermined timing The first flexible body 80 is inserted into the upper two layers of the upper and lower layers at the time of the first transfer and the first flexible body 80 is inserted into the lower two layers of the upper and lower layers at the next second transfer. The second soft body 80 is inserted into the upper two layers of the upper and lower layers and the third soft body 80 is inserted into the upper and lower layers of the second and third layers. The fourth soft body 80 is inserted. And the upper layer is inverted at the time of retention provided between the transporting time and the transporting time. Therefore, when the soft foam body 80 is inserted into the upper layer, the filled body is inverted at this timing (at the time of stay), and the soft foam body 80 is taken out from the upper layer of the inversion work part 4 at the subsequent carrying. Thus, the first soft soft body 80, the second soft soft body 80, the third soft soft body 80 and the fourth soft soft body 80 are taken out from the inversion work portion 4 in this order do.

Here, the upper layer is inverted even when the soft body 80 is inserted into the lower layer, and the inversion direction is reversed in the reverse direction to the inversion direction when the soft body 80 is inserted into the upper layer .

(Integrated part)

The accumulation unit 5 shown in Fig. 4 is a section in which the foliar materials taken out from the inversion working unit 4 are accumulated in the transport order. In Fig. 4, a box-like container is provided, and the fogged material transported to the container is fed in the transport order. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the accumulating unit may be configured to accumulate the soft combustibles at the time when a predetermined number of the soft materials are stored after the soft materials are stored in the respective stages in the transfer order in a multi-stage structure.

(Insertion operation section)

It is necessary to alternately insert the soft foam body 80 in the upper and lower layers of the inversion work part 4 as described above in order to invert the soft foam bodies 80 to be sequentially transported by using the inversion work part 4 This is done by the insertion operation part 3 located upstream of the reverse operation part 4. [

Before describing the insertion operation unit 3, the conventional problems that can be solved by the insertion operation unit 3 will be described.

Explanation of the problem using the comparative example

Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration of a part of the conveyance path of the accumulating device as a comparative example, not the present embodiment. The difference between the accumulator 1 of this embodiment and the comparative example lies in the mechanism of the insertion operation portion.

The integrated device of the comparative example has a reverse operation part 404 which is generally the same as the integrated device of the present embodiment. Therefore, the insertion work portion 303 located upstream of the reverse operation portion 404 needs to insert the object to be withdrawn alternately in the upper and lower layers of the reverse operation portion 404. 7, the inserting operation portion 303 of the accumulating device of the comparative example has one placing table on which the softening body 80 can be placed, Between the position of the same height and the position of the same height as the lower layer of the reverse operation unit 404. The height of the upstream portion 202 is set to the same height as the upper layer of the reverse operation portion 404. In the comparative example having such a constitution, in the transportation shown in the timing (1) of Fig. 7, the placement of the insertion operation portion 303 is the height of the upstream portion 202, The first soft body 80A placed on the insertion operation portion 303 is transported to the upper layer of the reverse operation portion 404 at the next timing (2) And receives the second soft body 80B from the upstream portion 202 at the same time.

7, the first soft body 80A inserted in the upper layer of the reverse operation part 404 is reversed, and at the same time, the placement of the insertion operation part 303 is reversed, (404).

At the subsequent timing (4) at the subsequent conveyance, the first flexible body 80A inverted by the upper layer of the reverse operation part 404 is transferred to the downstream side of the reverse operation part 404, The second soft combustible member 80B placed on the one mounting table is conveyed to the lower layer of the reversing operation unit 404 and the third soft combustible member 80C is conveyed from the upstream portion 202. However, at the timing (4), since the one placement table of the insertion operation unit 303 is at the same height as the lower layer of the reversing operation unit 404, the third flexible body 80C conveyed from the upstream portion 202 As shown in Fig. 7, falls down from the front portion having the convex portion to the one mounting table. Therefore, the front portion collides with the one table so that the third soft body 80C is not completely transferred from the upstream portion 202 to one table, and as shown in the timing (5) The distal end portion of the soft body 80C of FIG. 3 abruptly ascends. In this state, one placement table is raised from the timing (6) to the same position as the upper layer of the reversal operation unit 404, and at the next timing (7), the third flexible body 80C is moved upward The upper portion of the reversing operation portion 404 is inverted in a state where the abruptly raised portion is caught by the inlet of the cylinder portion of the upper layer and is not completely inserted so that the portion protruding from the inlet of the cylinder portion (the abruptly raised portion) The reverse operation of the upper layer is interrupted, and the conveying operation of the conveying path itself is delayed without being reversed.

Here, in order to avoid the occurrence of such a situation and carry it back without delay, in this embodiment, the insertion operation unit 3 has a characteristic configuration. Hereinafter, the insertion operation unit 3 provided in the integrated device 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

9, the upper and lower layers of the insertion operation portion 3 and the upper and lower layers of the insertion operation portion 3 are movable upward and downward, Is smaller than the height difference between the upper layer and the lower layer of the reverse operation work portion 4. [ That is, when the upper layer of the insertion operation portion 3 is at the same height as the upper layer of the reverse operation portion 4, the lower layer of the insertion operation portion 3 is located higher than the lower layer of the reverse operation portion 4. [

When the upper layer of the insertion operation part 3 is at the same height as the upper layer of the reverse operation part 4, the lower layer of the insertion operation part 3 is located at the same position as the height of the upstream part 2 have. That is, the upper layer of the reversing operation portion 4 is located at a position higher than the height of the upstream portion 2.

The upper and lower layers of the insertion operation portion 3 are provided with through holes for passing through the fins 6 in the same manner as the inversion operation portion 4. Even if the fresnel body is in the upper layer or the lower layer of the insertion operation portion 3, The soft body that has been pressed by the pin 6 is moved out of the inserting work portion 3 as the inserting work portion 6 moves downstream from the upstream side of the inserting work portion 3. [

Hereinafter, the accumulation method of the present embodiment will be described in terms of time series with reference to FIG.

9, the upper layer of the insertion operation portion 3 and the upper layer of the reverse operation portion 4 are at the same height, and the first soft body 80A is provided on the upper side of the insertion operation portion 3 It is in existence. At this timing (1), the lower layer of the insertion operation portion 3 is at the same height as the upstream portion 2.

At the subsequent timing (2), the first soft body 80A is transferred from the upper layer of the insertion operation part 3 to the upper layer of the reversal operation part 4, and the first soft body 80A is transferred from the upstream part 2 to the insertion operation part 3, the second soft flexible body 80B is transported. This conveyance is due to the movement of the pin 6, as described above. Then, the insertion operation portion 3 descends between the time immediately after the completion of the transfer and the next transfer (at the time of rectification), and the lower layer of the insertion operation portion 3 and the lower layer of the reverse operation portion 4 become the same height. At this time, the upper layer of the insertion operation part 3 becomes the same height as the upstream part 2. At the same time, the upper layer of the reversing work portion 4 is reversed and the first soft body 80A is reversed.

Here, at the time of rectification (stationary state), all four pins 6 move downward and escape from the position where the conveyance is completed in the through-hole of the conveyance path, and are moved upstream in the missing state. The one pin 6 that has moved from the upstream side to the downstream side of the upstream portion 2 while passing through the through hole of the upstream portion 2 at the timing 1 moves again to the upstream side of the upstream portion 2 , Passes through the upstream side of the through-hole of the upstream portion (2) again after the movement, and prepares for the next transportation. Likewise, at the timing (1), one pin (6) which has passed through the through hole of the insertion operation part (3) and moved from the upstream side to the downstream side of the insertion operation part (3) Passes through the upstream side of the through hole of the insertion operation part 3 again after the movement, and is prepared for the next transportation time. Similarly, at the timing (1), one pin (6), which has passed through the through hole of the reverse operation work part (4) and moved from the upstream side to the downstream side of the reverse operation part (4) Passes through the upstream side of the through-hole of the reversing operation section 4 after the movement, and prepares for the next transportation time. Further, as described above, the four pins 6 move integrally. This is because the four pins 6 are provided on one base 6 '.

At the subsequent timing 3, the four pins 6 move from the upstream side to the downstream side in the carrying direction to take out the first flexible body 80A from the upper layer of the reverse working part 4, And the third soft body 80C is transported from the upstream portion 2 to the upper layer of the insertion operation portion 3. The third soft body 80C is transported from the lower layer of the reverse working portion 4 to the lower layer of the reverse working portion 4, And the fourth soft body 80D is transported from the upstream side of the upstream portion 2 to the upstream portion 2.

Subsequently, as shown in timing (4), immediately after the completion of the conveyance at the timing (3) to the next conveyance (at the time of rectification), the inserting work portion And the upper layer of the reversing operation portion 4 have the same height. At this time, the lower layer of the insertion operation part 3 becomes the same height as the upstream part 2. At the same time, the upper layer of the reversing work portion 4 is reversed without putting the flexible body. Further, at the time of this rectification, the four pins 6 move from the downstream to the upstream.

Subsequently, in the timing 5, the four pins 6 move from the upstream side to the downstream side. Thus, the second inverted body 80B which is not inverted is taken out from the lower layer of the reverse operation part 4, The third soft body 80C is transported from the upper layer of the inverted portion 3 to the upper layer of the reverse working portion 4 and the fourth soft soft body 80D is transported from the upstream portion 2 to the lower layer of the insertion working portion 3. [ Is transported. At the timing (6), the above-described operation of the timing (2) is performed, and the operation after the timing (2) is repeated. In the timing (6) of Fig. 9, the fogging material is not conveyed upstream of the upstream portion 2, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The fogging material is successively conveyed, and the above-described operation is repeated.

As described above, the accumulation method of the present embodiment and the accumulation apparatus that realizes the accumulation method of this embodiment reverse the direction of one filter by a plurality of flexible bodies sequentially transported in a predetermined transport direction at a predetermined timing. Here, since the flexible body has a convex portion at one end portion and a concave portion at the other end portion, the direction of one filter is reversed, so that when the flexible body is stacked in the transport order, the concave portion and the convex portion It is possible to make a state in which the parts are engaged with each other.

This is a reversal working portion 4 divided into upper and lower layers capable of inserting a soft body into each layer, and all the blowing bodies are sequentially transported to the reversing working portion 4 in the same direction, and among the upper and lower layers, The direction of the inserted soft body is reversed such that the position of the one end of the soft body and the position of the other end are reversed and the direction of the soft body inserted into the lower layer of the upper and lower layers is not changed By reversing the direction of the soft body to be sequentially transported one by one, Thus, the inverted soft body and the inverted soft body, which are not reversed, can be alternately stacked so that the concave portion and the convex portion of each soft body fit to each other. However, the present embodiment is characterized in that the soft tissue, which is sequentially transported in a predetermined transport direction at a predetermined timing, is inserted into the upper layer and the lower layer of the upper and lower layers of the inversion work part 4 alternately at a predetermined timing Process. The insertion operation unit 3 can be realized by the above-described insertion operation unit 3, specifically, the insertion operation unit 3 includes an insertion operation unit 3, And at the same timing, a soft body received from the upstream portion 2 at any timing is conveyed to the upper or lower layer of the reversal operation portion 4 at the next timing, and at the same time, And a mechanism for receiving the soft body following the soft body at the same height as the upstream portion. More specifically, the insertion operation portion 3 is divided into upper and lower two layers capable of inserting the flexible body into each layer, and the difference in height between the upper and lower layers of the insertion operation portion 3 is determined by the height From the state in which the height of the upper portion of the insertion operation portion 3 is smaller than the height difference between the upper and lower layers of the insertion operation portion 4 and the first soft substance exists in the upper layer of the insertion operation portion 3, The lower layer of the insertion operation portion 3 is positioned at the same height as the upstream portion 2 at the next timing and the first downstream portion And the second soft body continuing to the foam body is conveyed to the lower layer of the insertion operation portion 3. [

The operation of the pin 6 as described above, the up-and-down movement of the insertion operation portion 3, and the reversal operation of the upper layer of the reverse operation portion 4 are driven by the respective driving means, and the control for controlling the respective driving means The timing of the operation is controlled by the means.

According to the above configuration, in the conveying path for sequentially conveying the flexible body having the convex portion at one end portion and the concave portion at the other end portion in the predetermined conveying direction at a predetermined timing, until reaching the inversion working portion 4 Since each soft body is transported in the same direction, among the plurality of transported soft bodies, the soft body located at every other location in the transport direction is inverted using the reverse operation unit 4. [ Therefore, when the arrangement of the soft bodies to be conveyed from the inversion work section 4 is integrated in the order of arrangement, one edge of the aggregate obtained after the accumulation is formed in the concave section of the first soft body, The concave portion and the convex portion are alternately arranged and fit into each other. Therefore, the accumulation is structurally stable because the concave portion and the convex portion fits well, and the edges of the soft body are arranged along the accumulation direction, so that the accumulation body becomes compact.

In the inserting operation in the inserting operation portion 3, the soft soft body, which is successively conveyed in the predetermined conveying direction at a predetermined timing from the upstream portion 2, is always kept at the same height as the upstream portion 2 And receives the soft matter received from the upstream section 2 at a certain timing at the next timing to the upper or lower layer of the reversing operation section 4 at the next timing and at the same time, The other soft body is received at the same height as the upstream part. Therefore, in the above-described comparative example, deformation or jamming of the soft molded body, which is a problem, can not occur. In addition, since the above-described insertion operation portion 3 is used, any soft body received from the upstream portion 2 at any timing is conveyed to the upper or lower layer of the reverse operation portion 4 at the next timing, And another soft body following the soft body can be received at the same height as the upstream portion 2. This can be realized because the insertion operation unit 3 has two layers. As a result, as compared with the case where one placement table provided in the insertion operation portion of the comparative example as described above is used, the up-and-down movement at the time of division can be made gentle while maintaining a predetermined timing.

Therefore, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, it is possible to convey the return line without delay.

Further, in the present embodiment, the soft body to which a plurality of distribution products are connected is made an aggregate, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a single article having a convex portion at one end and a concave portion at the other end may be used. That is, if the conveyed material is conveyed in the same direction and the accumulated material stacked in the conveying order is unstable, the present invention can be applied to the conveyed material as the material to be collected.

Finally, in order to take out the flexible body placed on the upstream portion 2, the pin 6 to be used may have a pin-pin structure as described above. A situation such as a slight step between the upstream portion 2 and the upper or lower layer of the insertion operation portion 3 occurs due to the structure of the pin pin, The head portion having a large diameter in the pin nip is brought into contact with the rear end of the soft body in the carrying direction of the soft body, even when the tip of the soft tissue is inclined downward in the course of being carried out It is possible to suppress the occurrence of positional deviation of the incendiary body in an undesirable manner. In the present embodiment, such a positional deviation does not occur from the beginning, but only one situation can be prepared by providing pin pins.

Further, instead of the pin pin, a pin 66 having a flange shown in Fig. 10 may be employed. Fig. 10 is a three-sided view of a pin with an awning. 10A, the direction of movement of the pin 66 when the pin 66 is mounted on the accumulating device is indicated by an arrow, for convenience of explanation. As shown in Fig. 10, the pin 66 is provided with a flange portion 66 'protruding farther than the head portion of the pin pin toward the moving direction of the pin 66. As shown in Fig. In the head portion of the pin 66, a portion other than the portion where the flange portion 66 'is provided may have the same shape as the portion other than the head portion. In this way, even when only one undesirable positional deviation occurs as described above due to the largely protruding flange portion 66 ', it is possible to more reliably contact the rear end of the flexible flange in the conveying direction The positional deviation can be suppressed.

When the pin 66 with such a bevel is used as a pin used for carrying out the flexible body placed on the upstream portion 2, the pin 66 is located at the downstream end of the upstream portion 2 It is preferable to pull the pin 66 after moving the pin 66 slightly in the upstream direction. This is because there is a possibility that the flange portion 66 'is caught at the rear end of the soft body in the conveying direction when pulled downward from the position reaching the downstream side end of the upstream portion 2. Therefore, by moving in the slightly upstream direction, this can be avoided.

[Embodiment 2]

Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 11 to 13. Fig. In addition, in this embodiment, the differences from the first embodiment are described. Therefore, for convenience of explanation, the members having the same functions as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

The difference between the present embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the configuration of the insertion operation portion. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing a configuration of an insertion operation portion provided in the accumulating device of the present embodiment. Fig. The insertion operation portion 33 includes a first placement table 33a which is movable only in the vertical direction and a second placement table 33b which is movable in the vertical direction and which is movable in the upstream direction and the downstream direction ).

The first mounting table 33a is provided with a through hole 33c along the conveying direction and the pin 6 is passed through the through hole 33c from the upstream side to the downstream side, Accordingly, the soft porous body placed on the placement surface 33a 'of the first mounting table 33a can be transported in the transport direction.

The placement surface 33a '(first placement surface) of the first placement table 33a is configured such that the first placement table 33a moves in the vertical direction, The position of the non-inverted state) and the height of the lower layer of the reverse operation section 4 can be changed.

Also in the present embodiment, similarly to Embodiment 1, the upstream portion 2, the insertion operation portion 33 (the first mounting table 33a and the second mounting table 33b) and the reverse operation portion 4 Are formed to have the same length along the transport direction. However, in the present embodiment, the upper layer of the inversion work part 4 is configured to have the same height as the soft body surface of the upstream part 2 at the time when the soft material is inserted into the upper layer of the inversion work part 4 .

The second mounting table 33b is configured to pass through the through hole 33c of the first mounting table 33a like the pin 6. [ Is the case where the placement surface 33a 'of the first placement table 33a is at the uppermost position (the same position as the upper layer of the reversal operation section 4 in the uninverted state) When the distal end face 33b '(second placement face) is located at the highest position, the placement face 33a' and the distal end face 33b 'are at the same height as shown in Fig. Since the front end face 33b 'of the second placement surface 33b has a width enough to put the flexible body thereon, when the placement surface 33a' and the front end face 33b 'are at the same height The stationary surface 33a ', and the distal end surface 33b'.

The second mounting table 33b moves in the upstream direction along the transport path without passing through the through hole 33c of the first mounting table 33a and the second mounting table 33b (Conveying direction) along the conveying path while passing through the through hole 33c.

More specifically, when the second mounting table 33b is moved to the upstream portion 2 in the upstream direction along the conveying path without passing through the through hole 33c of the first mounting table 33a, Passes through the through hole of the upstream portion 2, and is slid in the carrying direction as it is, and is movable to a position passing through the through hole 33c of the first mounting table 33a.

As shown in Fig. 12, the second mounting table 33b is disposed between two adjacent pins 6 and the pin 6, and is disposed on the same straight line as the four pins 6 And is provided on the opposite side (6 ') as the pin (6). The second mounting table 33b is provided with one pin 6 that moves from the upstream end to the downstream end of the upstream portion 2 and a second pin 6 that is located on the downstream side of the pin 6 Respectively.

In addition, the height of the second mounting table 33b from the base 6 'is made lower than that of the pin 6. Specifically, in a state where the fin 6 is disposed at an appropriate position through which the soft body can be conveyed through the through hole of the upstream portion 2, the second (first) portion passing through the through hole of the upstream portion 2 The front end face of the mounting table 33b is at the same height as the soft protrusion surface of the upstream portion 2.

The timing (1) in Fig. 13 shows a state in which the first soft body 80A is in the timing (retention) just before the transfer timing for inserting the first soft body 80A into the upper layer of the reversal working portion 4, The method of accumulation of forms begins. 10 is used as a pin for conveying a soft body on which a fin 66 with a bevel shown in Fig. 10 is placed on the upstream portion 2. In this embodiment,

At the timing (1) of Fig. 13, the second mounting table 33b is inserted into the through hole of the upstream portion 2, and when the counter-opposing 6 'moves in the carrying direction in this state, The table 33b is moved to the area where the first table 33a is installed. Here, at the timing (1), the first placement table 33a is at the highest position, so that the front end surface 33b 'of the second placement table is located at the same height as the placement surface of the first placement table 33a. At timing (1), the second soft body (80B) placed on the soft body surface of the upstream portion (2) is pressed from the pin (6) in the carrying direction, And is conveyed to the placement surface 33a 'of the table 33a. The second soft body 80B conveyed from the upstream portion 2 is supported by both the placement surface 33a 'of the first placement table 33a and the front end surface 33b' of the second placement table 33b And is in a supported state.

Here, since the flexible end face 33b 'of the second mounting table 33b can be laid as described above, the second mounting table 33b is moved from the upstream portion 2 to the first position The second soft flexible body 80B is conveyed as it is placed on the distal end face 33b 'of the second placement stand 33b while moving to the region where the placement stand 33a is installed.

Next, the timing (2) represents the retention time after completion of the conveyance at the timing (1). At this time, the base 6 'descends downward and the pins 6 are removed from the through holes. At this time, the second mounting table 33b, which is adjacent to the first mounting table 33a, also goes downward and comes out of the through hole of the first mounting table 33a. At this time, the counter shaft 6 'is moved in the slightly upstream direction so as not to catch the pin 66 with the bevel on the second soft body 80B, and then it is lowered downward.

Then, the pin 6, the pin 66, and the second mounting table 33b are moved downward, that is, in the state that they are not passed through any of the through holes. The distal end face 33b 'of the second mounting table 33b is adjacent to the soft body mounting surface of the upstream portion 2, while each pin 6 passes through the through hole of each insertion portion.

At this timing (2), the upper layer of the reverse operation part (4) is reversed, and the first flexible body (80A) conveyed to the upper layer of the reverse operation part (4) .

At this timing (2), the first mounting table 33a on which the second soft body 80B is placed is lowered to the same height as the lower layer of the reverse operation part 4. [

Here, the timing at which the first placement table 33a is lowered may be the same as the timing at which the second placement table 33b is lowered. As described above, the timing at which the first placement table 33a descends The second placement table 33b may be lowered prior to the first placement table 33a by changing the timing at which the second placement table 33b is lowered. The lowering speed of the first mounting table 33a may be the same as or different from the lowering speed of the second mounting table 33b.

The second soft body 80B placed on the first mounting table 33a is moved in the reverse direction in accordance with the movement of the pin 6 and the pin 66 in the timing And transported to the lower layer. At the same time, the third soft body 80C in the upstream portion 2 is moved between the upstream portion 2 and the reverse operation portion 4 in a state in which the third soft body 80C is supported on the front end surface of the second mounting table 33b do.
