Linear guide 49-3a.
[0032]
Next, the operation of the present transfer transfer machine will be described. First, the operation of the layer picking device 10 will be described. When the pallet 13 on which the cardboard boxes 90 are stacked is transported to the pickup area by the roller conveyor 11, the pallet 13 is lifted by the lifter 12. The ascending position at this time is set such that the pickup roller 15 is at a height corresponding to the lower portion of the uppermost cardboard box 90 by controlling the lifter 12 with a detection signal from the height detecting device 17. Next, the first positioning stopper mechanism 14 and the first clamp mechanism 18 are driven. That is, by horizontally moving the push plate 14-1 to the first clamp mechanism 18 side by the air cylinder 14-2 and the push plate 18-5 to the first positioning stopper mechanism 14 side by the gad motor 18-2, A plurality of layers of cardboard boxes 90 on the pallet 13 are positioned. At this time, in the first clamp mechanism 18, the push plate 18-5 is stopped at a position slightly away from the cardboard box 90 in the front row. This is performed to allow the pickup roller 15 to swing within a range where the cardboard box 90 does not fall when the pickup roller 15 enters under the uppermost cardboard box 90.
[0033]
Next, the traveling carriage 31 is caused to travel while rotating the transfer belt 32, and is moved under the uppermost cardboard box 90 while rotating the pickup roller 15 clockwise. Even when the cardboard boxes 90 of each layer are adhered by an adhesive, the cardboard box 90 of the uppermost layer is peeled off one after another by the frictional force and the rotational force of the pickup roller 15. The peeled uppermost cardboard box 90 is transferred onto the transfer belt 32 behind the pickup roller 15 while being prevented from overturning by the pressing plate 18-5 of the first clamp mechanism 18.
[0034]
Here, the rotation speed of the pickup roller 15 and the transfer belt 32 is set to be the same as the traveling speed of the traveling vehicle 31. As a result, the relative speed between the cardboard box 90 and the transfer belt 32 when the transfer belt 32 is transferred from the pickup roller 15 to the transfer belt 32 becomes zero, and there is no slip resistance in theory.
[0035]
Next, by operating the air cylinder 18-6 of the first clamp mechanism 18 to rotate the push plate 18-5 upward, the cardboard box 90 for one layer on the transfer belt 32 is removed from the dispensing device 40 side. Can be transported. Subsequently, the pickup roller 15 stops and causes the traveling cart 31 to travel toward the payout device 40. During this time, by continuously rotating the transfer belt 32, one layer of the cardboard box 90 can be transferred to the dispensing device 40 more quickly, and the cycle time from the start of layer picking to the end of dispensing can be shortened.
[0036]
On the other hand, on the dispensing device 40 side, the push plate 48-5 of the second clamp mechanism 48 is rotated upward and opened at the same time when the traveling carriage 31 starts traveling. When the rear end of the traveling vehicle 31 reaches a predetermined position in the payout area, the traveling of the traveling vehicle 31 stops. At the same time, the push plate 48-5 of the second clamp mechanism 48 is rotated downward and closed. Then, the push plate 48-5 is horizontally moved to the second positioning stopper mechanism 44 side, and the push plate 44-1 in the second positioning stopper mechanism is horizontally moved to the first clamp mechanism 48 side. The push plates 49-1a and 49-1b of the alignment stopper mechanisms 49a and 49b are also horizontally moved so as to approach each other, so that the corrugated cardboard boxes 90 on the traveling carriage 31 are aligned.
[0037]
When the alignment is completed, the traveling carriage 31 is caused to travel toward the layer picking device 10 with the push plate 48-5 of the second clamp mechanism 48 closed. During this time, the transfer belt 32 is also rotated clockwise at the same speed as the traveling speed of the traveling vehicle 31. Thus, the relative speed between the cardboard box 90 and the transfer belt 32 can be reduced to zero, and a single cardboard box 90 can be transshipped on the pallet 43.
[0038]
At the same time, the position regulation is released by the second positioning stopper mechanism 44, the second clamp mechanism 48, and the first and second alignment stopper mechanisms 49a and 49b, and then the fork 42-1 of the lifter 42 is lowered. The pallet 43 is placed on the roller conveyor 41.
[0039]
The effect of the layer picking device by the above configuration and operation will be described with reference to FIG. 7A, it is assumed that the uppermost cardboard boxes stacked on the pallet in the pickup area are arranged in the same manner as in FIG. FIG. 7A shows a state in which the position of the cardboard box on the pallet is regulated by the push plate 14-1 of the first positioning stopper mechanism 14 and the push plate 18-5 of the first clamp mechanism 18. However, illustration of the push plate 18-5 is omitted for convenience. As described above, in this state, the push plate 18-5 is slightly away from the frontmost cardboard boxes 90A to 90C. When pickup starts in this state, the pickup roller 15 is pushed into the lower part of the first row of cardboard boxes 90A to 90C in a rotating state.
[0040]
In FIG. 7B, the pickup roller 15 enters under the frontmost cardboard boxes 90A to 90C, peels off the adhesive portion, and sends the cardboard boxes 90A to 90C backward. At this time, even if the cardboard box is about to fall, the fall is prevented by the pressing plate 18-5 of the first clamp mechanism 18. Further, the distance between the first row of cardboard boxes 90A to 90C and the second row of cardboard boxes 90D to 90F is a distance L, but this distance L is small and does not cause the problems described in the prior art. Such an operation is also performed on the second and third rows of cardboard boxes, and as a result, one of the cardboard boxes 90A to 90H is moved onto the transfer belt 32 of the traveling vehicle 31 in the same state as before the pickup. It is. As described above, according to the layer picking device of the present invention, the cardboard boxes for one layer can be transferred to the traveling carriage 31 in an aligned state without falling down.
[0041]
Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the effect as a transfer transit machine will be described. The length of the traveling carriage 31 is set to a value obtained by adding the depth between the pickup area and the payout area to the distance between the layer picking device 10 and the payout apparatus 40. In other words, when the pickup roller 15 on the front end side comes immediately before the cardboard box in the front row of the pickup area, the rear end side is determined to be located inside the payout area. The rotation speed of the pickup roller 15 and the transfer belt 32 of the traveling vehicle 31 is set to be equal to the traveling speed of the traveling vehicle 31.
[0042]
As shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that there is one cardboard box 90 to be paid out at the rear end of the traveling vehicle 31. From this state, the traveling vehicle 31 travels toward the layer picking device 10, and the pickup roller 15 enters the lower part of the uppermost cardboard box. At the same time, on the dispensing device 40 side, the traveling cart 31 travels so as to exit therefrom, so that the cardboard box 90 on the traveling cart 31 is dispensed to the dispensing area. As described above, the first characteristic of the transfer reloader according to the present invention is that the pickup operation and the payout operation are performed in parallel.
[0043]
Further, when the pickup roller 15 enters the innermost part of the pickup area and the cardboard box 90 for one layer is transferred onto the transfer belt 32 of the traveling vehicle 31, the traveling vehicle 31 is retracted, that is, toward the dispensing device 40 side. At the same time as the traveling, the transfer belt 32 rotates in the same direction at the same speed. Thus, when the rear end of the traveling vehicle 31 reaches the innermost part of the payout area, one cardboard box on the transfer belt 32 can also reach the payout area. As described above, the second characteristic of the transfer reloader according to the present invention is that the traveling of the traveling cart 31 and the rotation of the transfer belt 32 are performed in parallel.
[0044]
According to the first and second features described above, the cycle time from the start of pickup to the end of payout to the start of the next pickup can be greatly reduced, and work efficiency can be improved.
[0045]
It is needless to say that the transfer transfer machine according to the present invention can transfer not only the cardboard boxes from the layer picking device 10 to the dispensing device 40 but also the transfer in the reverse direction. Further, a turntable may be formed on the lifter 12 so that the direction of the cardboard box on the pallet can be freely changed.
[0046]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention Used Even if a plurality of cardboard boxes are stacked and arranged in various postures, the layer picking device transfers the cardboard boxes on the traveling bogie in the arrangement state before the transfer without overturning one of the cardboard boxes. be able to.
[0047]
In addition, according to the transfer and transfer machine using the above-described layer picking device, the cycling time of a series of operations from pickup to dispensing can be shortened, so that work efficiency can be improved.
[0048]
In addition, since the relay between the layer picking device and the dispensing device is performed by the transfer belt, it is not necessary to turn the chain of the drive mechanism as shown in FIG. 9, and the height of the entire device can be reduced. Thus, noise can be reduced as compared with a roller conveyor.
