Description

Apparatus For Sorting Color Sheets For Vehicle}

The present invention relates to a sheet sorting apparatus, and more particularly, to a color sheet sorting device for a vehicle for taking out one sheet at a time from several types of sheets stacked in the same kind to form a single bundle.

There are many types of vehicle colors, and new colors are released for each product released. The consumer selects the vehicle he wants and then chooses the color he wants.

When using a vehicle, there are cases in which it is necessary to partially paint unintentionally, and at this time, you need to know the exact color of your vehicle or its color matching. This is because the same color as the color of the existing vehicle must be derived. The toning table shows how the toning of a specific color is made.

This color table is sometimes provided in the form of a single color sheet. On one side of this color sheet, a toning table is shown, and on the other side, paint of the color expressed by the toning table is painted in order to be able to compare directly to the vehicle.

Vehicle maintenance offices or vehicle manufacturers can judge how the color matching was done by looking at the serial number related to the color of the vehicle to be repaired.

So, when partial painting, it is possible to obtain the same color as the existing vehicle color by mixing and painting the paint according to the color table.

Maintenance offices, etc. have sheets containing information on many types of vehicles and vehicle colors, that is, color sheets. Therefore, it is advisable that the maintenance office keeps several color sheets of different types in a bundle. In some cases, color sheets may be provided for each manufacturer, vehicle, or year.

The side that provides the color sheet must extract color sheets containing different color information, which can be referred to as a database, one by one and group them together.

Conventionally, this extraction operation has been performed by manpower. However, there is a difficulty in manpower supply and demand, and since it is a simple repetitive task, there is a fear that certain color sheets will be omitted. If a specific color sheet is missing, it is difficult to determine which one is missing. If the same sheet is repeatedly included, it may be difficult to even determine an error.

Hereinafter, specific contents of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Basic reference will be made to FIGS. 1 to 3, and the remaining drawings will be referred to where necessary.

The color sheet sorting apparatus for a vehicle according to the present invention includes a seat loading unit 1, a seat transport unit 3, a transfer conveyor 5, a seat support 7, and a loading guide unit 9.

The sheet loading unit 1 is such that the same type of color sheet S is stacked on one unit compartment 11, and several unit compartments 11 are arranged in a row on the mounting table 13. The operator manually puts the color sheet (S) into the unit compartment (11). The unit compartment 11 is partitioned by a spacer plate 15. The seat stand 17 is fixed on the mounting table 13 so that the color sheets S loaded in the unit compartment 11 are arranged neatly. The seat stand 17 may be fixed in position on the mounting table by magnetic force.

In one unit cell 11, a single type of color sheet (any one of S1, S2, S3, ..., Sn) is loaded.

The sheet transport section (3) is a number of color sheets (S1, S2, S3,...,Sn) at the top of the color sheets (S) loaded in each unit compartment (11) of the sheet loading section (1). At the same time, it is held and transported to the right side. That is, the sheet transport unit simultaneously grips and transfers the long number of color sheets (S1, S2, S3,...,Sn) corresponding to the number of unit compartments 11.

Next to the mounting table 13, a transfer conveyor 5 is installed in parallel with the mounting table 13. The sheet transport unit 30 grips the color sheet S from the mounting table 13 and places it on the conveyor belt 19 of the transport conveyor. The transport conveyor 5 is the color sheet supplied by the sheet transport unit 3 Then, the conveying conveyor belt 19 operates in a caterpillar manner and transfers one unit of color sheets (S1, S2, S3,...,Sn) composed of different types in one direction. Let it.

According to another feature of the present invention, the conveying conveyor belt 19 of the conveying conveyor 5 may be made of a fabric. In particular, the color sheet with a smooth surface is made of cotton or wool to prevent slipping and sticking.

A seat support 7 is installed at the rear end of the transfer conveyor 5. The seat support 7 is installed below the conveying surface of the conveying conveyor 5 so that the conveyed color sheets (S1, S2, S3,...,Sn) can be stacked while falling. The seat support 7 may also be composed of a conveyor that intermittently starts. When all the color sheets (S1, S2, S3,...,Sn) placed on the transfer conveyor belt 19 fall and are accumulated, the seat support 7 starts once and the loading surface 21 of the seat support Get ready to receive a color sheet.

Color sheets (S1, S2, S3,...,Sn) fall between the transport conveyor (5) and the seat support (7) to the correct position from the transport conveyor (5) to the seat support (7). A loading guide part 9 is installed to guide it so that it is possible.

Hereinafter, each component will be described in more detail.

The seat transport unit 3 includes a frame, an adsorption plate 25, an adsorption plate mounting table 27, an upper and lower part, and a front and rear part. The upper and lower movable portions include a vertical cylinder 29 and a vertical guide rod 31 operated by pneumatics, and the front and rear ridges include a horizontal cylinder 33 and a horizontal guide rod 35 operated by pneumatic pressure.

The frame 23 has a length corresponding to the length of the mounting table 13. The adsorption plate 25 adsorbs the color sheet by generating a vacuum pressure by a vacuum generator (not shown). The suction plate mounting table 27 enables the suction plate 25 to be fixed in a vertical state.

The upper and lower movable portions are for starting the suction plate mounting base 27 up and down, and the front and rear dong parts are for starting the suction plate mounting base 27 forward and backward.

On the upper part of the frame 23, the front and rear trunk bars 37 are installed to be linearly movable in the front-rear direction through the horizontal guide rods 35. A vertical cylinder 29 is installed in the front center of the front and rear stem 37, and the vertical guide rods 31 are installed on both left and right sides of the front and rear stem 37. The vertical cylinder 31 is connected to the center of the upper surface of the suction plate mounting table 27, whereby the suction plate mounting table 27 is activated in the front-rear direction and vertical direction.

A plurality of pressure rods 39 are installed so as to be activated in a vertical direction at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the suction plate mounting table 27. The spacing and number of the pressing rods 39 correspond to the number and spacing of the unit compartments 11 on the mounting table 13.

A suction plate 25 is connected to the lower end of the pressure rod 39. The adsorption plate 25 is installed on the adsorption plate mounting table 27 via the pressurizing rod 39.

The adsorption plate 25 is made of a flexible material, and an adsorption hole 25a is provided at the center thereof. That is, the adsorption plate 25 is configured to suck air through the adsorption hole 25a. To this end, the air hose 41 is connected to the pressure rod 39. The air hose 41 may be provided with an opening/closing valve 43 for controlling the intake air. The air hose 41 is not illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3.

Meanwhile, the pressure rod 39 is elastically supported in the downward direction by the first spring 45. When a force greater than the elastic force is applied to the lower end of the pressure bar 39, the pressure bar 39 may be started upward with respect to the suction plate mounting table 27.

The lower end of the first spring 45 is supported by the locking protrusion 47 provided under the pressure rod 39 and the upper end of the first spring 45 is supported on the bottom of the suction plate mounting table 27. The first spring 45 is fitted to the outer periphery of the pressure rod 39 as a coil spring.

According to this configuration, when the suction plate mounting table 27 descends and the suction plate 25 presses the upper surface of the color sheet S and is lifted again, the color sheet S is transferred to the suction plate 25 by vacuum pressure (or negative pressure). It sticks (see Figs. 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d). Even if the height of the color sheet (S) is changed, the pressure rod (39) can move up and down, so that the suction plate (25) can adsorb the color sheet (S). That is, the first spring 45 allows the stroke of the pressure rod 39 to be variable.

On the other hand, because the color sheet (S) is quite smooth, it may stick to each other during the adsorption process. Therefore, when one sheet of color sheet (S) is lifted, what is under it can be carried up together. In order to prevent this problem, a sheet separation means is provided.

The sheet separating means allows the color sheet (S) to be separated by acting to close the color sheet to be adsorbed when the adsorption plate 25 adsorbs the color sheet (S) according to the steps of FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d. . Hereinafter, description will be made with mainly reference to FIGS. 4, 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D.

The sheet separation means includes a push pin mounting table 49 installed between the lower end of the pressure rod 39 and the suction plate 25, a push pin 51 installed on the bottom of the push pin mounting table 49, and a push pin 51 ) Includes a second spring 53 to be elastically supported in the downward direction.

Push pins 51 are provided at two or more locations on the periphery of the suction plate 25. As shown in Fig. 1, it is provided in four places. A push pin installation hole 55 is provided in the push pin installation table 49, and an upper latch 57 that spans the upper surface of the push pin installation table 49 is installed at the upper end of the push pin 51. Screws may be used as the upper hook 57.

A second spring mounting table 59 is provided under the push pin 51. The second spring 53 is in the form of a coil spring, and the lower end is supported by the second spring mounting base 59, and the upper end is supported by the push pin mounting base 49. Accordingly, when the lower end of the push pin 51 is pushed upward with a force greater than the elastic force of the second spring 53, the push pin 51 is lifted (see FIG. 5B).

"와 같은 종단면 형태를 갖게 되며, 아래에 있는 색상시트와 분리될 수 있게 되는 것이다(도 5c, 5d 참조). At the moment when the adsorption plate 25 comes into contact with the color sheet and is lifted after being adsorbed, the push pin 51 presses the edge of the adsorbed color sheet within the elastic force range. As a result, the color sheet (S) is "

It has a longitudinal cross-sectional shape such as ", and can be separated from the color sheet below (see Figs. 5c and 5d).

Hereinafter, the loading guide portion 9 installed at the rear end of the transfer conveyor 5 will be described.

A pair of guide side plates 61 are fixedly installed to extend in the same direction as the extending direction of the transfer conveyor 5. The guide side plates 61 are installed parallel and spaced apart. A slide plate 63 is provided between the guide side plates 61 to slide the color sheet S supplied from the conveyor belt 19 at a predetermined speed. The slide plate 63 has a hole 63a in the middle to reduce frictional resistance.

A stop plate 65 is installed in front of the slide plate 63. The color sheet (S) falls into the space 67 between the slide plate (63) and the stop plate (65), and the falling color sheet (S) is accumulated on the loading surface 21 of the mounting table.

Meanwhile, a counter using an optical sensor 69 may be installed at the rear end of the transfer conveyor 5 or at the loading guide portion 9.

As shown, an optical sensor 69 capable of emitting light in the vertical direction is installed at the bottom of the slide plate 63. The color sheet (S) can be counted by detecting the color sheet (S) passing upward by the optical sensor (69).

When the number of sheets of the set color sheet S is all counted, the loading table 13 is started. Accordingly, a group of color sheets (S1, S2, S3, ..., Sn) composed of different types on the mounting table 13 can be stacked at a predetermined interval. Workers only need to pack them one by one and pass them over to the subsequent process.

The configuration shown and described above is only a preferred embodiment based on the technical idea of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to implement various modifications based on common technical knowledge, but it should be noted that this may be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Various combinations of the embodiments disclosed above will be possible, and all possible combinations are within the scope of the present invention.
