Abstract
Description
しかしながら、このような従来の製品集積装置では、隣接する羽根部材の間隙幅を、対象製品に対して臨機応変に対応させることができず、対象製品の仕様に基いて、隣接する羽根部材の間隙幅を変更しようとすると装置全体の構成を変更する必要があり、汎用性に欠けていた。
このように構成することにより、製品が、順次、製品供給手段から回転部材の製品接触面に接触するように供給されると、順次、回転部材が回転されて、製品が案内部材に沿って回転部材の製品接触面から該製品接触面に対して略垂直方向に移動されて集積される。
このように構成することにより、製品が、回転部材の製品接触面と、羽根状または棒状部材との間の最大間隙部位に供給されて、回転部材の製品接触面に接触し、回転部材が、羽根状または棒状部材の一端から他端へ向かう螺旋の回転方向と反対方向に回転されると、製品が、回転する羽根状または棒状部材に案内されるように、製品接触面から該製品接触面に対して略垂直方向に移動する。
このように構成することにより、製品が、各回転部材の製品接触面に跨るように接触して、各回転部材が回転すると、製品が各回転部材の案内部材に案内されるように、各回転部材の製品接触面から該製品接触面に対して略垂直方向に移動する。
このように構成することにより、所定個数の製品が、保持手段により保持されて移動される。
このように構成することにより、製品供給手段からの製品を回転部材の製品接触面にて受け止めることが可能になる。
本発明の実施の形態に係る製品集積装置1は、図1に示すように、製品加工機から搬出される、例えばおむつ等の偏平な形状の製品を所定個数毎に集積して包装機に搬出するものであり、製品加工機からの製品を受け入れ順次搬送する製品供給手段2と、該製品供給手段2から供給された製品を順次整列させて集積する集積手段3と、該集積手段3で集積された製品を所定個数毎に保持する保持手段4と、集積手段3により集積された製品を所定個数毎に包装機へ搬出する製品搬出手段5とを備えている。
なお、第2製品供給手段52a、52b、第3製品供給手段53a、53b、第4製品供給手段54a、54b及び第5製品供給手段55a、55bは、一対の同一の部材から構成されているので、以下、第2製品供給手段52a、52b、第3製品供給手段53a、53b、第4製品供給手段54a、54b及び第5製品供給手段55a、55bとして説明する。
製品振分手段51は、第1製品供給手段50の各ベルトユニット61の案内ローラ74、74と重なる位置に配置され、先端開口がスイングする一対の案内板79から構成されている。そして、この一対の案内板79の先端開口のスイングにより、第1製品供給手段50から搬送された製品を所定個数毎に第2製品供給手段52a、52bに振分けている。
なお、第2製品供給手段52a、52bのベルトユニット96の無端状ベルト85と、第1製品供給手段50の無端状ベルト71とが対向する区間(第2製品供給手段52a、52bのベルトユニット96側では案内ローラ88と89との間の上流側の範囲であり、第1製品供給手段50のベルトユニット61側では案内ローラ74と75との間の略中間部位から下流側の範囲)も製品の搬送路101として構成される。
第4製品供給手段54a、54bは、無端状ベルト126が所定位置に配置された案内ローラ122及び駆動ローラ123に巻回されて構成されるベルトユニット124が一対配置されて構成される。そして、各ベルトユニット124の無端状ベルト126が対向する区間が製品の搬送路125となる。
第5製品供給手段55a、55bは、無端状ベルト130が所定位置に配置された複数の案内ローラ131~133及び駆動ローラ134に巻回されて構成されるベルトユニット135が一対配置されて構成される。そして、各ベルトユニット135の無端状ベルト130が対向する区間(各ベルトユニット135の案内ローラ132と133との間の全範囲)が製品の搬送路136となる。
第1及び第2集積手段6、7は同じ構成からなり、図1、図3及び図9に示すように、第5製品供給手段55aまたは55bから供給される製品との製品接触面10を有する回転部材11と、該回転部材11に備えられ、製品を回転部材11の回転により製品接触面10から該製品接触面10に対して略垂直方向に移動させる案内部材12とを備えている。
案内部材12は、図9からよく解るように、棒状部材13で構成され、該棒状部材13の一端が回転部材11の外周端の任意の位置に固着され、製品接触面10に対して略垂直方向に向かって螺旋状に略一周(棒状部材13の一端と他端とが製品接触面10に対する垂直方向で略重なる)延びている。なお、回転部材11の製品接触面10と、棒状部材13の他端との最大間隙部位14は、対象製品の厚みよりも大きく設定されている。
一方、下側の回転部材11には、一端から他端に向かって反時計周り方向に螺旋状に延びる棒状部材13が備えられ、下側の回転部材11は、その製品接触面10と、該回転部材11に固着された反時計周り方向に螺旋状に延びる棒状部材13の他端との間の最大間隙部位14が第5製品供給手段55aまたは55bの搬出口に指向するように配置されている。
また、図1に示すように、第5製品供給手段55aは、その製品供給方向が第1集積手段6の各回転部材11の製品接触面10に対して鋭角状に交差するように配置され、同様に、第5製品供給手段55bも、その製品供給方向が第2集積手段7の各回転部材11の製品接触面10に対して、鋭角状に交差するように配置されている。
なお、第5製品供給手段55a、55bの配置は、第1及び第2集積手段6、7の各回転部材11の製品接触面10に対する製品供給方向が適宜変更できるようになっている。
置き台15の長手方向の長さは、第1集積手段6の各回転部材11と、第2集積手段7の各回転部材11との間の距離と略同じ長さに設定されている。なお、置き台15の上面で、第1集積手段6側及び第2集積手段7側の端部には、下側の回転部材11の製品接触面10に設けた螺旋状の棒状部材13が干渉しないように切り欠き16が設けられている。
さらに、図3及び図8に示すように、各製品ガイド18、19の内、製品供給手段2とは反対側に位置する製品ガイド18の第1及び第2集積手段6、7側の端部には、後述する押し側プレート29の先端側の部位を上下方向から挟むように間隔をあけて、上下一対の案内板部20が製品ガイド18と直交するように設けられている。各案内板部20の第1及び第2集積手段6、7の各回転部材11側の部位は、各回転部材11の製品接触面10に干渉しないように略円弧状に切り欠かれている。また、各案内板部20は、各回転部材11の製品接触面10と略同一平面上に位置している。
第1及び第2保持手段25、26は同じ構成からなり、第1及び第2集積手段6、7の各回転部材11の製品接触面10と同じ方向をそれぞれ指向して、置き台15上を移動する受け側プレート28及び押し側プレート29から構成される。
受け側プレート28及び押し側プレート29は、置き台15の上面をその長手方向に沿ってそれぞれ移動し、受け側プレート28と押し側プレート29との間に製品を所定個数挟むように保持して、置き台15上を移動させる。
なお、図5において、上側(製品供給手段2側)の受け側プレート用サーボモータ34の駆動軸と、案内ローラ37とに巻回される受け側プレート用タイミングベルト36が受け側プレート用スライドユニット32を介して第1保持手段25(図4参照)に対応する受け側プレート28に連結される。また、図5において、下側(製品供給手段2と反対側)の受け側プレート用サーボモータ34の駆動軸と、案内ローラ37とに巻回される受け側プレート用タイミングベルト36が受け側プレート用スライドユニット32を介して第2保持手段26(図4参照)に対応する受け側プレート28に連結される。
これにより、第1及び第2保持手段25、26の各受け側プレート28は、各受け側プレート用サーボモータ34の駆動により置き台15上をその長手方向に沿って移動可能になる。なお、各受け側プレート28は、各押し側プレート29よりも第1または第2集積手段6、7側とは反対側を移動する配置で、初期状態では、一対の回転部材11に設けた棒状部材13の他端に近接する位置に配置される(図4参照)。
また、図8に示すように、押し側プレート29は、その先端側が、上下一対の回転部材11の間を塞ぐように細長い形状に形成され、押し側プレート用スライドユニット39側が一対の回転部材11の外周縁に沿うように次第に幅広に形成される。そして、押し側プレート29の幅広の端部が置き台15の側方を延びる連結板38を介して押し側プレート用スライドユニット39に連結される。なお、図8に示すように、置き台15の製品ガイド18の端部に設けた案内板部20が、押し側プレート28の先端側の上下に配置されるようになる。
また、第5製品供給手段55a、55bの搬送路136の搬出口付近にも製品検出手段がそれぞれ備えられており、この製品検出手段と、第1及び第2集積手段6、7の各回転部材用サーボモータ17、各受け側プレート用サーボモータ34及び各押し側プレート用サーボモータ45のそれぞれとが電気的に接続され、この製品検出手段よる製品の検出により、各回転部材11、各受け側プレート28及び各押し側プレート29の動作が制御される。
なお、製品集積装置1の初期状態では、第1及び第2保持手段25、26の各受け側プレート28は、第1及び第2集積手段6、7の各回転部材11に設けた棒状部材13の他端に近接する位置に配置されると共に、第1及び第2保持手段25、26の各押し側プレート29は、第1及び第2集積手段6、7の各回転部材11の製品接触面10と略同一平面上に配置されている。
次に、製品は、順次、第1製品供給手段50の搬送路77から一対の案内板79により所定個数毎に交互に第2製品供給手段52a、52bに供給される。なお、一対の案内板79の先端開口が位置する各搬送路101に備えられた製品検出手段により、検出された製品の個数が所定個数に達すると、その信号が一対の案内板79の駆動源に送信され、一対の案内板79の先端開口がスイングされ、所定個数の製品が第2製品供給手段52a、52bに交互に供給される。
そして、図10(b)~(e)に示すように、第1集積手段6の構成である上下一対の回転部材11が各回転部材用サーボモータ17の駆動により相反する方向に回転する。すなわち、上側の回転部材11が反時計周り方向(棒状部材13の一端から他端へ向かう螺旋の回転方向と反対方向)に回転され、一方、下側の回転部材11が時計周り方向(棒状部材13の一端から他端へ向かう螺旋の回転方向と反対方向)に回転される。
すると、図10(b)~(e)に示すように、各回転部材11の製品接触面10に跨るように接触した製品は、回転する螺旋状の各棒状部材13に案内されるように、各製品接触面10から各製品接触面10に対して略垂直方向に受け側プレート28に向かって移動する。
なお、各回転部材用サーボモータ17は、製品が製品検出手段を横切った後、製品検出手段からの信号に基づき、製品が各回転部材11の製品接触面10を跨る位置に接触したタイミングで駆動されるように設定されている。
すると、まず、上述した通り、各回転部材11が回転して、最後の製品が、回転する螺旋状の各棒状部材13に案内されるように、各製品接触面10から受け側プレート28に向かって移動し、受け側プレート28が最後の製品を受け止める。続いて、第1保持手段25の構成である押し側プレート29が、押し側プレート用サーボモータ45の駆動により、置き台15上を受け側プレート28に近接する方向に移動して最後の製品に接触する。続いて、受け側プレート28と押し側プレート29とにより所定個数の製品を挟持しながら置き台15上をその長手方向略中央部位まで搬送する。
なお、受け側プレート用サーボモータ34及び押し側プレート用サーボモータ45の制御盤には、予め、第5製品供給手段55aから搬出される製品の所定個数が入力されているため、各制御盤が製品検出手段からの送信回数により最後の製品であることを認知した際、各制御盤により該最後の製品に対応した受け側プレート用サーボモータ34及び押し側プレート用サーボモータ45の駆動形態が選択される。
また、本発明の実施の形態に係る製品集積装置1では、製品供給手段2を、第1製品供給手段50、第2製品供給手段52a、52b、第3製品供給手段53a、53b、第4製品供給手段54a、54b及び第5製品供給手段55a、55bから構成しているが、第1製品供給手段50及び第2製品供給手段52a、52bからだけで構成しても良いし、製品供給手段2の構成については限定されない。
さらに、本発明の実施の形態に係る製品集積装置1では、回転部材11を上下に一対配置しているが、必ずしも一対必要ではなく、1個でも良い。
さらにまた、本発明の実施の形態に係る製品集積装置1では、製品供給手段2から供給された製品を、集積手段3及び保持手段4により集積して保持し包装機に搬出する構成であるが、製品供給手段2の第5製品供給手段55aまたは55bから供給された製品を、集積手段3により順次一方向に整列させて集積させる装置としても適用することができる。
