In addition, in the briquette conveying apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the number of briquettes 1 counted by the counter 40 is a preset number (that is, four as one example in this embodiment), After moving from the upper side to the lower side in the first direction of the briquettes aligned in the third guide (23) by applying a force in the first direction to the briquette (1a) located in the first direction to push the aligned briquettes (1) in close contact with each other ( 50).

At this time, the push member 50 is connected to both ends of the panel-shaped push board 51 and the push board 51 to push the briquette 1a arranged in the first direction to the push board 51 It comprises a third arm 52 to move in a predetermined direction, the third arm 52 may also be configured to move by using hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure or as described above.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the case in which the push member 50 is configured to apply a force in the first direction to the briquette 1a at the rear, has been described, but if necessary, the opposite to the first direction to the briquettes at the front. It may also be configured to exert a force in the direction.

By the operation of the push member 50 as described above, the aligned briquettes may be in close contact with each other and may be aligned at a predetermined predetermined position as described below by a relationship with the fourth guide 24.

Next, a detailed briquette transfer operation of the briquette transfer device according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

As described above, the briquette 1 mounted on the conveyor belt 12 from the production facility is moved in the first direction while being guided not to fall in both directions of the conveyor belt 12 by the first guide 21. Guided by the second guide 22 installed in the middle to move one by one.

The briquettes 1 guided in this way are aligned and moved in a row by the third guides 23 continuously installed, and further movement is restrained by the fourth guide 24 installed at the end of the conveyor belt 12. Will remain in place.

On the other hand, when the number of briquettes 1 counted by the counter 40 is predetermined number (that is, four), the above-described push member 50 is lowered from the upper portion of the conveyor belt 12 to pushboard 51 ) Is interposed between the rearmost briquette 1a and the briquette 1b in the second guide portion 22 so that no more briquettes 1 are guided in the direction of the third guide 23. Prevent it first.

Thereafter, the push member 50 moves in the first direction so that the briquettes aligned in a row on the portion of the third guide 23 by the push board 51 are in close contact with each other.

As described above, when the operation of the push member 50 is completed, a pair of holder boards 31 positioned in both directions of the third guide 23 move in both side directions of the aligned briquettes 1, 1) to press both sides of the gripping, in this case, there are four curved grooves 34 formed on the inner surface of each of the dodge board 31 is four in the present embodiment and in Figure 3 by the transfer unit 30 as described above The state where the briquette 1 is gripped is shown.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the holding of the briquette 1 is completed, the transfer unit 30 moves to a position (ie, a vehicle or a warehouse) previously programmed in a microcomputer or a PLC (not shown) to lower the briquettes. To transport the briquettes.

In this case, it is preferable that the program includes contents related to the loading position of briquettes and the sequential loading method of briquettes at the loading position, and the contents of such a control program are not only widely used but also the technical features of the present invention. Since it is irrelevant, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

On the other hand, although not described in the present embodiment, the briquette conveying apparatus according to the present invention, while holding the briquettes in the transfer unit 30, the briquettes 1 are broken or dropped due to various other factors while moving to a predetermined position. In order to prevent that may be further provided with a support member (not shown) to move together until the loading while supporting the briquettes (1) being transferred to the lower portion of the briquettes held in the initial transfer.

The conveying unit 130 according to the present embodiment is located on the upper portion of the briquette 1 aligned and in close contact with the guide unit 20 and the push member 50 in the same manner as described in the first embodiment. It is characterized in that the briquettes are gripped through the central hole (H) formed in the center of the plurality of through holes formed in the axial direction of the briquettes.

To this end, the conveying unit 130 according to the present embodiment includes a panel-shaped collecting board 131 facing the upper surface of the briquettes whose lower surfaces are aligned, and a plurality of rods extending in a third direction from a lower portion of the collecting board. Is connected to the axial shape of the rod 132, and the upper surface of the collecting board 131 to move the collecting board 131 in at least one of the above-described first, second and third directions. The fourth arm 133 is configured to include.

The outer diameter of the collecting rod 132 is preferably formed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the central hole (H) so that it can be easily inserted into the central hole (H), the outer diameter portion of the collecting rod 132 at the center of the briquette holding A plurality of clamping protrusions 135 are formed to press the inner diameter of the hole H in a direction perpendicular to the circumference to prevent the held briquettes from being removed.

At this time, the doping projection 135 is configured to emerge through the through-hole 134 formed in the outer diameter of the dowel rod 132 by using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure or electric, it is located inside the through-hole 134 before gripping The collecting rod 132 may be inserted into the central hole (H), and after being inserted, protrudes to the outside to press the inner diameter of the central hole (H) so that the transfer unit 130 may grip the briquettes.

In addition, the transfer unit 130 according to the present embodiment is located at a lower position of the collecting rod 132 at a position corresponding to the center hole H of the briquettes aligned by the guide unit 20 and the push member 50. That is, a sensor unit (not shown) may be formed on the lower surface 136 of each of the collecting rods 132 to determine whether the collecting rod is inserted.

At this time, the sensor unit determines whether the central hole (H) is in the correct position by using an interference signal with the lower surface facing, as an example using various types of distance sensors (or gap sensors) using infrared rays, etc. It may be preferably configured, or may be configured using other known sensors within the scope of performing the same function.

In addition, the briquette conveying apparatus according to the present embodiment is a push member when it is detected that the central hole (H) is not in the correct position in the sensor unit installed on at least one of the collecting rods 132 of the plurality of collecting rods (132) It is also possible to reconfigure the briquettes by reactivating the 50 and finely adjust the position of the transfer unit in a pre-programmed manner in the microcomputer or PLC.
