Description

[0001] Luggage transfer device [0002]

The present invention relates to an article transfer apparatus, and more particularly, to an article transfer apparatus capable of easily aligning and supplying a plurality of articles while discharging aligned articles one by one.

In general, an article is an apparatus for transferring a box or the like to a desired place by installing a plurality of shaft rotating rollers on a main frame.

For example, in a conventional article transporting apparatus, a conventional article transporting apparatus includes an article transported in a previous step, a plurality of rollers installed on an upper surface thereof, and an upper surface of the article transporting apparatus, And a roller conveyor structure inclined at a predetermined angle toward the conveyor.

At this time, the unloading conveyor also has a tilted structure at the same angle of inclination corresponding to the roller conveyor.

When the articles are conveyed onto the roller conveyor, the rear end of the roller conveyor is tilted with the same inclination in the direction of the unloading conveyor.

At this time, the article is slid and transported by the load conveyor along the inclined surface by its own weight, and a predetermined stopper is provided to prevent the article, which slips on the other end of the load conveyor, from being released to the outside.

However, since the conventional article transporting apparatus is a system in which the article is slid and transported by its own weight according to the inclination of the roller conveyor, not only the acceleration becomes large at the moment when the article reaches the load conveyor, but also the article is damaged during the collision with the stopper There was a problem.

In addition, the conventional article transporting apparatus has a problem in that, when the article collides with the stopper, the article bounces out due to the collision repulsive force so that the article is displaced from the designated position and the lowering position is changed.

In addition, in the conventional article transporting apparatus, since the article arriving at the load conveyor is also inclined by the inclination of the unloading conveyor, the lowering operation is difficult. In addition, when the article is lifted up in a tilted state, There was a problem that was damaged.

In addition, in the conventional article transporting apparatus, when the inclination angle of the roller conveyor is not properly adjusted according to the load change of the article, the article does not slip and the article is not properly transported.
