Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば、シートを袋状に形成してなる飲料容器に取付けられる口部材等のように吊り下げながら搬送されるワークを集合させるワークの集合搬送装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、例えば、シートを袋状に形成してなる飲料容器に取付けられる口部材は、供給装置としてのパーツフィーダーにランダムに投入された後に個々に整列される。そして、各口部材は、飲料容器に取付けられるべく、搬送装置により製造装置へ搬送されて行く。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記パーツフィーダーの供給能力には限界があるため、飲料容器に口部材を取り付ける製造装置の処理能力に比し、パーツフィーダーの供給能力が劣るのが一般的であるため、高速作業が図れない要因となっている。
【0004】
口部材のように吊り下げた状態で搬送されるワーク以外のワークは、コンベア装置上に載置しながら搬送できる。このため、搬送能力の向上を図る目的から、2本のスクリューをV字状に配置し、各スクリューから供給されるワークをコンベアで集合させて次工程の製造装置に搬送する手段が採用されている。
【0005】
しかしながら、口部材のような吊り下げられながら搬送されるワークでは、コンベア装置に載置できないため、仮に複数のスクリューを採用した場合には、スクリュー下流の空間となる部分でワークが落下しないように保持する必要があり、複数の搬送装置から搬送されるワークを集合させることは困難であった。
【0006】
本発明は、上記従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、吊り下げながら搬送されるワークを、複数の搬送装置により集合させて搬送することができるようにして、その搬送能力の向上を図ることができるようにすることを課題とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明が上記課題を解決するために講じた技術的手段は、次の通りである。即ち、ワーク供給装置55から供給されるワーク5をガイド手段8で吊り下げた状態で搬送するための複数の搬送装置7が設けられ、各搬送装置7はワーク5を交互に集合さるように搬送し、しかも、前記搬送装置7の下流位置には、前記ワーク5を排出部55に案内するためのガイド選択手段17が設けられ、該ガイド選択手段17は一方から搬送されるワーク5と他方から搬送されるワーク5とを選択して係止すべく、位置変更自在に設けられ、前記搬送装置7はV字状に配置されたスクリュー22を有し、しかも、前記ガイド選択手段17は水平方向に揺動自在に設けられ、前記ガイド選択手段17の上部両側には、それぞれのワーク5に押される上ガイド部35と、一方から搬送されるワーク5に押されてガイド選択手段17が他方に揺動した際に、該一方から搬送されるワーク5を係止するための下ガイド部36とが形成され、前記各スクリュー7がワーク5に係合する位置と前記上ガイド部35の位置が略同等の高さに設けられていることにある。
【0008】
そして、搬送装置7により一方から搬送されるワーク5は、ガイド選択手段17を他方に揺動させることにより、ワーク5の通過が可能となると共に、該ワーク5は、揺動したガイド選択手段17に係止されるため、該ガイド選択手段17とガイド手段8により吊り下げた状態で排出部まで案内される。
【0010】
スクリュー22がワーク5を押圧する位置と、ワーク5が上ガイド部35を押圧する位置とが同じ高さとなっているため、ワーク5が振れたり不用意に移動したりすることなく、スクリュー22のガイド選択手段17を揺動させるための押圧力を、上ガイド部35に確実に伝えることができる。また、上ガイド部35とは別位置に下ガイド部36を設けているため、下ガイド部36はワークの形状に応じて確実に係止できる形状とすることができる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施例について説明する。
図1〜図7は本発明の一実施の形態を示し、図1及び図5において、1は口部材5を集合させて搬送するための集合搬送装置を示す。該装置1は、左右両側から順次ワークとしての口部材5を集合させるべく案内するガイド手段8と、Vの字状に配置された一対の搬送装置7と、各搬送装置7を作動させる作動装置10とから主構成されている。
【0012】
前記口部材5は長手方向(上下方向)に貫通する筒状を呈し、上下方向に一対の上下フランジ部12,13が所定の間隔を有して形成されている。口部材5は上記集合搬送装置1により整列されて搬送され、集合搬送装置1の下流位置に配置される容器製造装置(図示省略)に供給され、該容器製造装置においてシートを袋状に形成してなる容器14の上縁部に取付けられる(図7参照)。
【0013】
前記ガイド手段8は、平面視二等辺三角形状の部分を有する板状体からなる主ガイド体2と、該主ガイド体2の両側に配置された板状体からなる一対の外ガイド体3a,3bと、主ガイド体2の上方に設けられた中ガイド体15と、図示省略の機台に固定される保持プレート16とを備えている。
【0014】
前記中ガイド体15は、図5に示す如く上下方向のスタンド18を介して前記保持プレート16の下方に水平に固定されている。スタンド18とは例えば筒状のカラーにボルトを挿通したものである。
【0015】
前記主ガイド体2は前記スタンド18よりも長いスタンド20を介して前記保持プレート16に水平に固定されており、主ガイド体2と中ガイド体15とは所定の間隔を有している。また、主ガイド体2の両縁部には口部材5の搬送方向の上流側から平行直線縁部2aと相互に接近する傾斜縁部2bとが設けられている。
また、中ガイド体15も主ガイド体2と同一幅形状となっているが、上流側が若干短くなっている。主ガイド体2及び中ガイド体15の下流先端部には逃がし凹部19が形成されている。
【0016】
前記搬送装置7はスクリュー22の両端部23a,23bが回転自在に支持されたブラケット25を有し、該ブラケット25の上面は前記保持プレート16にボルトで固定され、しかも、ブラケット25の下面には、前記外ガイド体3a,3bがボルトでそれぞれ固定されている。
【0017】
外ガイド体3a,3bは主ガイド体2と同一高さに設定され、主ガイド体2の両縁部2a,2bと各外ガイド体3a,3bの内側の縁部3cとの間には、平行なガイド用間隙30がそれぞれ形成されている。ガイド用間隙30は、前記口部材5の上下フランジ部12,13間の胴部5aの直径よりも若干大きく設定されていると共に、平行直線部30aと、該平行直線部30aから互いに接近する傾斜部30bとからなる。そして、前記各スクリュー22の外周部が各傾斜部30bに臨むようになっている。
【0018】
17はそれぞれの搬送装置7により搬送される口部材5が当接して揺動するガイド選択手段17で、前記ガイド選択手段17は、図2及び図3に示す如くガイド手段8の下流位置に設けられている。即ち、ガイド選択手段17の基部17aは、前記逃がし凹部19に沿う凸状に形成され、平面視二等辺三角形の形状を呈している。ガイド選択手段17の基部17aは、前記保持プレート16の下面にボルト21を介して固定された段付スタンド33に、水平方向に揺動自在に外嵌されている。ガイド選択手段17の基部17aの直径は、口部材5の受け渡しがスムースに行えるように、主ガイド体2及び中ガイド体15の先端幅と略同等になっている。また、ガイド選択手段17は、中ガイド体15と同じ高さとなるように上方に位置する上ガイド部35と、主ガイド体2と同じ高さとなるように下方に位置し且つガイド選択手段17の全長にわたって形成された係止部としての下ガイド部36とを有する。
【0019】
上,下ガイド部35,36は下流側に向けて次第に先尖り形状を呈している。下ガイド部36は前記両方のガイド用間隙30から延設される補助ガイド用間隔37を択一的に選択して形成するためのものである。具体的には、図2に示す如くガイド選択手段17が左右の一方側に揺動した場合には、下ガイド部36の他方の縁部36bは前記主ガイド体3の縁部2bの延長上に位置し、該下ガイド部36の他方の縁部36bと外ガイド体3aの縁部3cとの間には、前記ガイド用間隙30と同一距離の補助ガイド用間隔37が形成されるようになっている。尚、このとき、下ガイド部36の先端は、何れか一方の外ガイド体3a,3bの内側の縁部3cに接近又は当接すると共に、スクリュー22下流側の端部23b間の排出部55まで延設される。
【0020】
下ガイド部36が他方に揺動した場合には、下ガイド部36の一方の縁部36aと外ガイド体3bの縁部3cとの間には、同様に補助ガイド用間隔37が形成される。
【0021】
前記上ガイド部35は下ガイド部36と同一幅となっているが、その長さは短くなっており、上ガイド部35の先端部が各スクリュー22に当接しないようになっている。
【0022】
前記作動装置10は、図5及び図6に示す如く前記保持プレート16の上面に一対のブラケット39を介して取付けられたギアヘッド(減速装置)40と、電動モータ41と、出力取出装置43とからなる。出力取出装置43は、ギアヘッド40の出力軸40aに嵌合されたギア45と、出力軸40aに対して軸受47を介して回転自在に並設された回転軸48に嵌合たギア46とが噛合するようにギアケース49内に内蔵されている。
【0023】
また、出力軸40aと回転軸48には、プーリー50がそれぞれ取付けられ、各プーリー50と、前記スクリュー22の一端に取付けられたプーリー51との間には、タイミングベルト53が巻き掛けられている。従って、両方のスクリュー22は互いの位相が180°相違した状態で回転するようになっている。
【0024】
ここで、作動装置10は出力軸40aと回転軸48とが所定の角度下向きとなるように、傾斜して取付けられている。その理由は、単体の作動装置10により、Vの字に配置されたスクリュー22を同期して回転させるため、各タイミングベルト53がこじれて外れるのを防止すべく、プーリー50,51に作用する張力が均一となるように掛けることができるためである。
【0025】
55は前記集合搬送装置の上流に配置された口部材供給装置で、各スクリュー22に対応して複数(本実施の形態では2台)設けられている。かかる口部材供給装置55は、例えばランダムに投入された口部材5を整列させて個々に搬送することができるパーツフィーダ等が挙げられる。
【0026】
次に、前記装置の使用例について説明する。
先ず、各口部材供給装置55から口部材5が順次供給されるのであるが、各口部材供給装置55から供給される口部材5は、その上フランジ部12と下フランジ部13との間の胴部5aが、前記ガイド用間隙30に上流端から挿入される。この結果、上フランジ部12は主ガイド体2の両縁部2a,2bと外ガイド体3の縁部3cとに係止されるため、各口部材5は吊り下げられた状態となる。口部材5は各口部材供給装置55から順次供給されるため、平行直線部30aを押されながら傾斜部30bまで移動する。
【0027】
口部材5が傾斜部30bまで移動すると、一方のスクリュー22が先頭の口部材5を搬送するため、口部材5はその上部が中ガイド体15を摺動しながら傾斜部30bに沿って中心方向に移動する。尚、他方のスクリュー22は、一方のスクリュー22に対して180°位相がずれていることから、他方側の傾斜部30に達した口部材5を遅れて搬送する。
【0028】
一方側の口部材5がガイド選択手段17に達すると、該口部材5の上部は、ガイド選択手段17の上ガイド部12の縁部を摺動するため、口部材5の移動と共にガイド選択手段17は他方側に揺動することとなる(図4参照)。このとき、一方側には補助ガイド用間隔37が形成され、口部材5の上フランジ部12は引続き下ガイド部36の縁部36aに係止された状態となり、単一の排出部55まで搬送され、次工程の製造装置等に供給される。
【0029】
また、他方の供給装置55から供給された口部材5は、一方側の供給装置55から供給された口部材5とは交互に搬送され、他方側に揺動した状態のガイド選択手段17を一方側に揺動させて補助ガイド用間隔37を形成し、該補助ガイド用間隔37を移動して前記排出部55を介して次工程の製造装置等に供給される。
【0030】
本実施の形態では上記の如く、各供給装置55から供給される口部材5を集合させることにより、各供給装置55の供給能力の倍の口部材5を順次次工程に搬送することかできる。
【0031】
本発明は、上記の実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば、図8に示す如く複数のワークの集合搬送装置を組み合わせることも可能である。
その他、本発明は各部の具体的な構成は任意に設計変更自在であり、ワークは前記口部材5に限定されるものではなく、口部材5を装着した袋状の容器14(図7)を充填機に搬送するときにも使用でき、また、ボルトであっても良く、ボルトの場合にはその頭部が被係止部となる。
【0032】
また、上記実施の形態では、ガイド選択手段17の上ガイド部12と下ガイド部13の幅形状を同一としたが、かかるガイド部12,13の幅長さは、ワークの形状によって適宜決定される。
しかも、供給装置55は単体から構成され、口部材5の供給ラインを搬送装置7に応じた個数有するものであっても良い。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明は、ワーク供給装置から供給されるワークをガイド体で吊り下げた状態で搬送するための複数の搬送装置が設けられ、各搬送装置はワークを交互に集合するように搬送し、しかも、前記搬送装置の下流位置には、前記ワークを排出部に案内するためのガイド選択手段が設けられ、該ガイド選択手段は一方から搬送されるワークと他方から搬送されるワークとを選択して係止すべく、位置変更自在に設けられたので、複数方向から吊り下げられながら搬送されて来るワークを集合させて交互に確実に搬送することが可能となる。
【0034】
従って、仮にワークを供給する供給装置の処理能力が低い場合であっても、複数の搬送装置を使用することにより、従来不可能であった吊り下げタイプのワークの搬送能力を向上させることができる。
【0035】
しかも、前記搬送装置はV字状に配置されたスクリューを有し、しかも、前記ガイド選択手段は水平方向に揺動自在に設けられ、前記ガイド選択手段の上部両側には、それぞれのワークに押される上ガイド部と、一方から搬送されるワークに押されてガイド選択手段が他方に揺動した際に、該一方から搬送されるワークを係止するための下ガイド部とが形成され、前記各スクリューがワークに係合する位置と前記上ガイド部の位置が略同等の高さに設けられているので、スクリューからの押圧力を上ガイド部を確実に伝えることができ、しかも、下ガイド部にワークを確実に係止させることが可能となる。

Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, mouth members attached to a beverage container formed by forming a sheet into a bag shape are individually aligned after being randomly placed in a parts feeder as a supply device. And each mouth member is conveyed by the conveying apparatus to a manufacturing apparatus so that it may be attached to a drink container.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the supply capacity of the parts feeder is limited, the supply capacity of the parts feeder is generally inferior to the processing capacity of a manufacturing apparatus that attaches a mouth member to a beverage container. There are no factors.
[0004]
A workpiece other than a workpiece conveyed while being suspended like a mouth member can be conveyed while being placed on a conveyor device. For this reason, for the purpose of improving the conveying capacity, a means is adopted in which two screws are arranged in a V shape, and workpieces supplied from each screw are gathered by a conveyor and conveyed to a manufacturing apparatus in the next process. Yes.
[0005]
However, since a workpiece that is conveyed while being suspended, such as a mouth member, cannot be placed on the conveyor device, if a plurality of screws are employed, the workpiece should not fall in a portion that becomes a space downstream of the screw. It is necessary to hold the workpieces, and it is difficult to collect the workpieces conveyed from a plurality of conveying devices.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and enables a workpiece to be conveyed while being suspended to be collected and conveyed by a plurality of conveying devices to improve its conveying ability. The problem is to be able to do this.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The technical measures taken by the present invention to solve the above-described problems are as follows. That is, a plurality of conveying device 7 is provided for transporting in a state of suspended workpiece 5 is supplied from the workpiece supply device 55 by the guide means 8, each of the transfer device 7 is set to work 5 alternately so that In addition, guide selection means 17 for guiding the work 5 to the discharge portion 55 is provided at a downstream position of the transfer device 7, and the guide selection means 17 is connected to the work 5 conveyed from one side. in order to lock by selecting a workpiece 5 to be conveyed from the other, it mounted for repositioning, the conveyor device 7 comprises a screw 22 arranged in a V-shape, moreover, the guide selection section 17 It is provided so as to be swingable in the horizontal direction. On both sides of the upper portion of the guide selection means 17, there are an upper guide portion 35 that is pushed by each workpiece 5, and a guide selection means 17 that is pushed by the workpiece 5 conveyed from one side. other And a lower guide portion 36 for locking the workpiece 5 conveyed from the one side, and a position where each screw 7 engages the workpiece 5 and a position of the upper guide portion 35. Is provided at substantially the same height .
[0008]
Then, the workpiece 5 conveyed from one side by the conveying device 7 can pass through the workpiece 5 by swinging the guide selection means 17 to the other side. Therefore, the guide selection means 17 and the guide means 8 are guided to the discharge portion in a suspended state.
[0010]
Since the position at which the screw 22 presses the workpiece 5 and the position at which the workpiece 5 presses the upper guide portion 35 are at the same height, the workpiece 5 does not swing or move inadvertently. A pressing force for swinging the guide selection means 17 can be reliably transmitted to the upper guide portion 35. Further, since the lower guide portion 36 is provided at a position different from the upper guide portion 35, the lower guide portion 36 can be formed into a shape that can be reliably locked according to the shape of the workpiece.

The guide selection means 17 is provided at a downstream position of the guide means 8 as shown in FIGS. It has been. That is, the base portion 17a of the guide selecting means 17 is formed in a convex shape along the escape concave portion 19 and has an isosceles triangle shape in plan view. The base portion 17a of the guide selection means 17 is externally fitted to a stepped stand 33 fixed to the lower surface of the holding plate 16 via bolts 21 so as to be swingable in the horizontal direction. The diameter of the base portion 17a of the guide selection means 17 is substantially equal to the tip widths of the main guide body 2 and the middle guide body 15 so that the mouth member 5 can be smoothly transferred. Further, the guide selection means 17 is located above the upper guide portion 35 so as to be the same height as the middle guide body 15, and located below the guide guide means 17 so as to be the same height as the main guide body 2. And a lower guide portion 36 as a locking portion formed over the entire length.
[0019]
The upper and lower guide portions 35 and 36 are gradually pointed toward the downstream side. The lower guide portion 36 is for selectively forming an auxiliary guide interval 37 extending from both the guide gaps 30. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, when the guide selection means 17 swings to the left or right side, the other edge 36 b of the lower guide portion 36 is an extension of the edge 2 b of the main guide body 3. An auxiliary guide interval 37 having the same distance as the guide gap 30 is formed between the other edge portion 36b of the lower guide portion 36 and the edge portion 3c of the outer guide body 3a. It has become. At this time, the tip of the lower guide portion 36 approaches or contacts the inner edge portion 3c of either one of the outer guide bodies 3a and 3b and reaches the discharge portion 55 between the end portions 23b on the downstream side of the screw 22. It is extended.
[0020]
When the lower guide portion 36 swings to the other side, an auxiliary guide interval 37 is similarly formed between one edge portion 36a of the lower guide portion 36 and the edge portion 3c of the outer guide body 3b. .
[0021]
The upper guide portion 35 has the same width as the lower guide portion 36, but its length is shortened so that the tip portion of the upper guide portion 35 does not contact each screw 22.

Move to. Since the other screw 22 is 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the one screw 22, the other screw 22 that has reached the inclined portion 30 on the other side is conveyed with a delay.
[0028]
When the mouth member 5 on one side reaches the guide selecting means 17, the upper portion of the mouth member 5 slides on the edge of the upper guide portion 12 of the guide selecting means 17. 17 swings to the other side (see FIG. 4). At this time, an auxiliary guide interval 37 is formed on one side, and the upper flange portion 12 of the mouth member 5 continues to be locked to the edge portion 36a of the lower guide portion 36, and is conveyed to a single discharge portion 55. And supplied to a manufacturing apparatus or the like for the next process.
[0029]
Further, the mouth member 5 supplied from the other supply device 55 is conveyed alternately with the mouth member 5 supplied from the one supply device 55, and the guide selection means 17 in a state of swinging to the other side is provided on one side. The auxiliary guide interval 37 is formed by swinging to the side, and the auxiliary guide interval 37 is moved and supplied to the manufacturing apparatus or the like of the next process through the discharge portion 55.
[0030]
In the present embodiment, as described above, by gathering the mouth members 5 supplied from the respective supply devices 55, the mouth members 5 that are twice the supply capacity of the respective supply devices 55 can be sequentially transferred to the next process.
[0031]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG.
In addition, in the present invention, the specific configuration of each part can be arbitrarily changed in design, and the workpiece is not limited to the mouth member 5, and a bag-like container 14 (FIG. 7) equipped with the mouth member 5 is used. It can also be used when transported to a filling machine, and may be a bolt. In the case of a bolt, its head becomes a locked portion.
[0032]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the width shape of the upper guide part 12 and the lower guide part 13 of the guide selection means 17 was made the same, the width length of this guide parts 12 and 13 is suitably determined with the shape of a workpiece | work. The
In addition, the supply device 55 may be configured as a single unit, and may have a number of supply lines for the mouth member 5 corresponding to the number of the conveyance devices 7.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention is provided with a plurality of conveyance devices for conveying a workpiece supplied from a workpiece supply device while being suspended by a guide body, and each conveyance device conveys the workpieces alternately. In addition, guide selection means for guiding the workpiece to the discharge unit is provided at a downstream position of the conveyance device, and the guide selection means includes a workpiece conveyed from one side and a workpiece conveyed from the other. Since the position can be freely changed so as to be selected and locked, the workpieces conveyed while being suspended from a plurality of directions can be collected and alternately conveyed reliably.
[0034]
Therefore, even if the processing capability of the supply device for supplying the workpiece is low, the conveyance capability of the suspension type workpiece, which has been impossible in the past, can be improved by using a plurality of conveyance devices. .
[0035]
In addition, the conveying device has a V-shaped screw, and the guide selection means is provided so as to be swingable in the horizontal direction, and is pressed against each work on both sides of the upper portion of the guide selection means. An upper guide portion that is pushed by a workpiece conveyed from one side and the guide selection means swings to the other, and a lower guide portion for locking the workpiece conveyed from the one side is formed, Since the position where each screw engages with the workpiece and the position of the upper guide portion are provided at substantially the same height, it is possible to reliably transmit the pressing force from the screw to the upper guide portion. The workpiece can be reliably locked to the portion.
