It is a driven roller that rotates with rotation. That is, each roller member 3 is connected via a belt member, and has a structure in which another driven roller rotates as the drive roller is driven.
Regarding the roller member 3, for convenience of drawing, only a part of the roller member 3 is designated with a reference numeral, and the other reference numerals are omitted.

In this conveyor device 1, the upper portion of the roller members 3 arranged in parallel is a conveyor surface 10 on which a conveyed object (not shown) is conveyed. The transport surface 10 is a virtual plane formed at the same height as the mounting height (upper end portion of the roller member 3) when transporting the conveyed object by the conveyor device 1, and is a plane having a spread in the horizontal direction. It has become.

The frame member 2 is a member provided with a frame main body portion 2a extending in a long shape along the transport direction. Specifically, the two frame main bodies 2a are arranged at intervals in the lateral direction of the conveyor device 1, and they are in a state of extending in parallel with each other.

The frame member 2 includes a leg portion (not shown), and the leg portion is integrally formed with the frame main body portion 2a. That is, the frame main body 2a is supported at a position upward away from the installation surface (floor or the like) of the conveyor device 1 (frame member 2).
That is, a space is formed in substantially all parts on the lower side of the frame main body portion 2a and the roller member 3 (conveying surface 10).
The frame main body 2a is a member whose cross-sectional shape extends in a substantially U-shape, and has a vertical plate-shaped portion located on the center side in the lateral direction of the conveyor device 1 and upper and lower ends of the vertical plate-shaped portion. It has a shape with a flat plate-like portion protruding outward from each of the above.

In the conveyor device 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of electric devices 15 are attached to the lower end side of one of the frame main body portions 2a via a device mounting member 12 (not shown in FIG. 1, see FIG. 2).
Specifically, as the electrical equipment 15, two first driver boards 15a, a second driver board 15b, and a wiring connection member 15c are attached.
Both the first driver board 15a and the second driver board 15b function as zone controllers, and are devices capable of controlling various transport operations and transmitting / receiving signals to / from external devices. Further, the wiring connection member 15c is a device in which a device for connecting various wirings such as a hub and a terminal block is integrally formed.

The device mounting member 12 has a structure including a device mounting plate portion 20 (device arrangement section) for mounting the electrical device 15 and a base portion 21 (base section) integrally fixed to the frame member 2. , These are rotatably attached via the hinge member 35.

As shown in FIG. 3, the device mounting plate portion 20 is a substantially trapezoidal plate-shaped member, and the electrical device 15 is fixed to one of the main surface sides (see FIG. 3A). An engaging protrusion 25 (posture maintaining means, first engaging portion) is formed on the other main surface side of the pair (see FIG. 3B).
In the following description, the surface on which the electrical equipment 15 is fixed is also referred to as an equipment mounting surface, and the surface on which the engaging protrusion 25 is formed is also referred to as a back surface.

The engaging protrusion 25 is a protruding portion that is attached to one main surface of the device mounting plate portion 20 and projects in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface, and is a protruding portion provided with a so-called push lock mechanism. ..
The "push lock mechanism" referred to here is engaged by inserting the tip end side portion in the protruding direction into the hole (the engaging hole portion 33, which is referred to in FIG. 4 (c) and the like, and will be described in detail later). On the other hand, if it is pushed in again in the engaged state, it will be in the disengaged state. That is, it is possible to shift from the disengaged state to the engaged state and from the engaged state to the disengaged state by one operation of pushing operation (with one touch).

As shown in FIG. 4, the base portion 21 includes a flat plate portion 21a having a substantially T-shaped plan view, a mounting plate portion 21b protruding downward from a part of the flat plate portion 21a, and a flat plate portion 21a. 21c is provided with an engaging plate portion 21c extending from an end portion on the transport surface 10 side (left end portion in FIG. 4A).
In the following description of the base portion 21, unless otherwise specified, the direction orthogonal to the transport direction of the conveyor device 1 (vertical direction in FIG. 4C) is set as the front-rear direction, and the transport direction of the conveyor device 1 is defined as the front-rear direction. (Left-right direction in FIG. 4C) is defined as the left-right direction.
Then, the frame main body portion 2a side to which the device mounting plate portion 20 is attached is set to the front with the transport surface 10 as a reference. That is, the upper side (vertical direction in FIG. 4C) is the front.

A cut-up portion 30 is partially formed in the flat plate portion 21a, and a through hole penetrating the flat plate portion 21a in the thickness direction and a standing portion formed by bending a portion adjacent to the through hole downward. It has a plate-shaped part. The vertical plate-shaped portion of the cut-up portion 30 is a plate-shaped body extending in the front-rear direction.
When the device mounting member 12 is attached to the frame member 2, at least a part of the flat plate portion 21a is in close contact (surface contact) with the lower end side of the frame main body portion 2a (see FIG. 2). That is, a mounting hole for inserting a fastening element such as a screw is provided in an appropriate portion of the flat plate portion 21a.
The fastening element is a superordinate concept such as a screw or a nail.

The mounting plate portion 21b is a portion formed by bending a part of the flat plate portion 21a downward, and is a plate-shaped portion hanging downward from a position slightly rearward from the front end side.
In the present embodiment, two (plural) mounting plate portions 21b are formed and arranged so as to be in a parallel state with an interval in the left-right direction.

Specifically, the mounting plate portion 21b is a portion formed so that the thickness direction is the same as the front-rear direction, and the lower end portion thereof is from the lower end portion of the engaging plate portion 21c and the cut-up portion 30. Is also located below. That is, the lower end portion of the mounting plate portion 21b is a portion located on the lowermost side of the base portion 21.

The engaging plate portion 21c is integrally formed with a standing plate-shaped portion protruding downward from the rear end portion of the flat plate portion 21a and a flat plate-shaped lower plate portion 32 protruding rearward from the lower end side of the standing plate-shaped portion. It is a part.
That is, the lower plate portion 32 is a flat plate-shaped portion located on the rear side of the flat plate portion 21a on the lower side. Further, the lower plate portion 32 is formed with an engaging hole portion 33 (posture maintaining means, second engaging portion) at a position near the center in the left-right direction.

The engaging hole portion 33 is a through hole that penetrates the lower plate portion 32 in the thickness direction, and the shape of the opening in a plan view is substantially circular.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the device mounting plate portion 20 is mounted via the mounting plate portion 21b of the base portion 21 and the hinge member 35, and is mounted in a movable (rotatable) state. Has been done.

That is, in the device mounting member 12, the posture during use (see FIG. 5A) in which the equipment mounting plate portion 20 is in an upright posture and the posture in storage in which the equipment mounting plate portion 20 is in a sideways posture (FIG. 5 (FIG. 5)). It is possible to change the posture (switch the posture) between b)).

In the in-use posture, as shown in FIG. 5A, the equipment mounting surface of the equipment mounting plate portion 20 faces the lateral outside of the conveyor device 1 (the outside in the lateral direction of the conveyor device 1), and the back surface faces the conveyor. It is in a state of facing the space on the lower side (space on the back side) of the device 1.
Further, in this posture during use, the engaging protrusion 25 and the engaging hole 33 are in an disengaged state (not engaged).

Here, in a state where the device mounting member 12 is mounted on the frame member 2, the mounting plate portion 21b is located on the lower side (or near the lower side) of the vertical plate-shaped portion which is a part of the frame main body portion 2a. It is in a state. The engaging plate portion 21c is located on the back side (center side in the lateral direction of the conveyor device 1) from the mounting plate portion 21b. In other words, the engaging plate portion 21c is arranged at a recessed position on the lower side of the transport surface 10, and the mounting plate portion 21b is arranged at a position on the front side of the engaging plate portion 21c.

Then, a part of the hinge member 35 is attached to the surface facing the back side of the mounting plate portion 21b, and the other part of the hinge member 35 is attached to the back surface of the equipment mounting plate portion 20.

For this reason, in the in-use posture, the upper surface of the equipment mounting plate portion 20 is located below the lower surface of the mounting plate portion 21b, and the thickness direction of the equipment mounting plate portion 20 and the mounting plate portion 21b is the conveyor device. It is in the same direction (or substantially the same direction) as the lateral direction of 1. The device mounting plate portion 20 can be rotated to the back side.
At this time, all of the electric devices 15 attached to the device mounting plate 20 are located on the lower side of the frame main body 2a. That is, the electric device 15 is located at a position where the operator on the lateral side of the conveyor device 1 can easily operate the electric device 15.

Further, from the above, in the device mounting member 12 of the present embodiment, the engaging projection portion 25 and the engaging hole portion 33 are in the disengaged state, and no external force is applied to the device mounting plate portion 20 (a state in which an external force is not applied to the device mounting plate portion 20). It has a structure that maintains the posture during use when it is in a natural state).
Specifically, even if the device mounting plate 20 is grasped by hand and moved to the back side in the state of use, the device mounting plate 20 can be released by releasing the hand unless the posture is changed to the storage posture. It has a structure that rotates outward due to its own weight and returns to the posture when in use.

On the other hand, assuming that the device mounting plate portion 20 is rotated upward from the back side from the posture during use and the engaging protrusion portion 25 and the engaging hole portion 33 are in the engaged state, as shown in FIG. 5 (b). In addition, the device mounting member 12 is in the retracted posture.

Specifically, when the device mounting plate portion 20 is rotated upward on the back side, that is, in a direction approaching the transport surface 10, the engaging protrusion portion 25 is inserted into the engaging hole portion 33 of the lower plate portion 32. To.
Here, the engaging protrusion 25 has a structure provided with a push lock mechanism as described above. Therefore, the engaging protrusion 25 is inserted into the engaging hole 33 by simply pushing the device mounting plate 20 toward the lower plate 32, and then the state (engaged state) is maintained.
That is, by bringing the engaging protrusion 25 close to the engaging hole 33 and pressing it toward the engaging hole 33 side, the engagement state is changed to the engagement state and the state is maintained.

By the way, in the engaging protrusion 25 of the present embodiment, a flange portion is formed at a position slightly closer to the base end side from the tip end side portion in the protrusion direction (see FIG. 3B), and the tip end from this flange portion. The side portion is a portion to be inserted into the engaging hole portion 33.
In other words, as the engaging protrusion 25 is inserted into the engaging hole 33, the flange portion of the engaging protrusion 25 abuts on the lower surface of the lower plate portion 32, and further movement is prevented. That is, the flange portion and the lower plate portion 32 function as movement restricting means for restricting the movement of the engaging protrusion portion 25 (equipment mounting plate portion 20).

In the stored posture, the device mounting plate portion 20 is in a state in which the device mounting surface faces downward and the back surface faces upward. That is, at least a part of the back surface is arranged with a space in the vertical direction from the transport surface 10 so as to face each other.
Further, since the device mounting surface faces downward, the electric device 15 is in a state of being unaffected (hard to receive) by dust and dust falling from the transport surface 10 side. That is, the device mounting plate portion 20 functions as a protective member for preventing (suppressing) contact of dust, dirt, etc. with the electric device 15.

That is, in this stored posture, the thickness direction of the device mounting plate portion 20 is the same as the vertical direction (or substantially the same direction), and is orthogonal to (or substantially orthogonal to) the thickness direction of the mounting plate portion 21b. ..
Therefore, in the in-use posture, the mounting plate portion 21b and the equipment mounting plate portion 20 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction, whereas in the stowed posture, the equipment mounting plate portion 20 is bent inward from the in-use posture. It has a posture like this (bent posture).

In the device mounting member 12 of the present embodiment, the device for mounting the electric device 15 is not arranged on the lower side (lower side of the electric device 15) of the device mounting plate portion 20 when taking the stored posture. A large space can be secured.
Further, the cable member connected to the electric device 15 can be extended on the lower side of the transport surface 10, that is, on the back side of the frame main body portion 2a so as to be inconspicuous.

As described above, since the engaging protrusion 25 is provided with a push-lock mechanism, the elasticity of the engaging protrusion 25 can be achieved by simply pushing the device mounting plate 20 toward the lower plate 32 in the retracted posture. The member (spring member) acts to disengage the engaging protrusion 25 from the engaging hole 33.
Then, when the engagement between the engaging protrusion 25 and the engaging hole 33 is disengaged, the posture shifts to the posture during use, and the posture during use is maintained. That is, when the engagement state is changed to the disengagement state, the engagement protrusion 25 is pressed toward the engagement hole 33 side as in the case of the change from the disengagement state to the engagement state. The engagement is disengaged.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the operator manually presses the device mounting plate portion 20 to switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, the device mounting plate portion 20 may be automatically rotated by the power supplied from an external power source. That is, the structure may include a rotation mechanism portion that automatically rotates the equipment mounting plate portion 20, and the equipment mounting plate portion 20 may be attached via the rotation mechanism portion instead of the hinge member 35.
At this time, the rotation operation of the device mounting plate portion 20 may be performed by operating an external device such as a remote controller. That is, the operator may be able to rotate without touching the device mounting plate portion 20 and the members located around the device mounting plate portion 20.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the engaging projection portion 25 is provided on the device mounting plate portion 20 and the engaging hole portion 33 is provided on the lower plate portion 32 of the base portion 21. That is, a protrusion is provided on the device mounting plate portion 20 side, and a receiving portion is provided on the lower plate portion 32, but the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion of the present invention are not limited to this.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an engaging hole portion 133 may be provided in the equipment mounting plate portion 120 (equipment arrangement portion), and an engaging protrusion portion 125 may be provided in the base portion 121 (base portion). At this time, the engaging protrusion 125 and the engaging hole 133 (the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion) do not necessarily have to be one that can be engaged with one touch.
In the following description, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

More specifically, in the device mounting member 112 of this embodiment, the lower plate portion 132 of the base portion 121 is provided with the engaging protrusion portion 125, which protrudes downward from the lower surface of the lower plate portion 132.
Further, the engaging protrusion 125 has a structure capable of twisting the protruding end side, and as shown in FIG. 6A, with respect to the base portion 125a located on the base end side in the protruding direction. The rotating body portion 125b located on the tip side has a rotatable structure. That is, the rotating body portion 125b is in a state of being rotatable about an axis extending in the vertical direction.

From this, the engaging protrusion 125 rotates the rotating body portion 125b to form an insertion posture (see the left figure of FIG. 6A) and an impassable engagement posture (FIG. 6 (a)). ) Can be switched with (see the figure on the right).
The insertion posture is a posture in which the engagement projection portion 125 can be inserted into the engagement hole portion 133 from the tip end side to the base end side when the engagement protrusion portion 125 is inserted into the engagement hole portion 133 formed in the device mounting plate portion 120. .. On the other hand, the posture at the time of engagement is such that the posture from the tip end side to the base end side cannot be inserted into the engagement hole portion 133.

That is, with the engaging protrusion 125 in the insertion posture, the device mounting plate 120 in the in-use posture is rotated to the back side in the same manner as described above. Then, the engaging protrusion 125 is inserted into the engaging hole 133 of the device mounting plate 120 (see FIG. 6B). Then, when the rotating body portion 125b is rotated from this state and the engaging protrusion portion 125 is shifted to the engaged posture (see FIG. 6C), the equipment mounting plate portion 120 is changed from the stored posture to the used posture. The transition will be blocked. That is, the posture of the device mounting plate 120 when stored is maintained.

In the above-described embodiment, the device mounting plate portion 20 (or the device mounting plate portion 120) is exposed to the outside in the stored posture, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, a device mounting member 212 having a shape as shown in FIG. 7 may be adopted.

In the device mounting member 212 of the present embodiment, the device mounting plate portion 220 (device arrangement portion) is attached to the box-shaped base portion 221 (base portion) via the connecting plate portion 219.

The base portion 221 has a bottom plate portion 221a located on the lower end side, a standing plate-shaped side wall portion 221b and a rear side plate portion 221c (see FIG. 8) protruding upward on the edge side of the bottom plate portion 221a, and on the upper side. It has a structure provided with a top plate portion 221d (see FIG. 8) to be located.
Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the base portion 221 is a member fixed to the two frame main body portions 2a.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the base portion 221 is a box-shaped portion in which one end side of the conveyor device 201 in the lateral direction is open to the outside, and the equipment mounting plate portion 220 is inside the base portion 221. A storage space 225 for storing the above is formed.
Therefore, the storage space 225 is a space having an opening surface 225a on one end side in the lateral direction of the conveyor device 201.

The connecting plate portion 219 is a flat plate-shaped member, and as shown in FIG. 8, is connected to the bottom plate portion 221a of the base portion 221 via the rail member 226.
Although detailed illustration is omitted, the rail member 226 has a sliding body portion (moving body side engaging portion) attached to the lower surface of the connecting plate portion 219 and a rail main body portion (base side engagement portion) attached to the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 221a. It has a structure with a rail). At this time, the sliding body portion is engaged with the rail main body portion, and is in a state of being movable along the extending direction of the rail main body portion (the lateral direction of the conveyor device 201).
Further, the rail main body is provided with a stopper member (not shown) at a portion located on the opening surface 225a side. This stopper member functions as a movement restricting member that regulates the movement of the sliding body portion from the specified position (the mounting position of the stopper member) to the opening surface 225a side.

From the above, the connecting plate portion 219 is in a state of being movable inside the storage space 225, and is in a state of being able to slide and move in the direction along the lateral direction of the conveyor device 201. That is, within a predetermined range, the conveyor device 201 can be moved in the direction from one end side to the other end side in the lateral direction and in the opposite direction.

The device mounting plate portion 220 of the present embodiment is different from the above-mentioned device mounting plate portion 20 in that the engaging protrusion 25 is not formed on the back surface side, and the other parts have the same structure. ..
As shown in FIG. 8, the device mounting plate portion 220 is integrally mounted with the connecting plate portion 219 via the hinge member 35.

Specifically, a part of the hinge member 35 is attached to the back surface of the device mounting plate portion 220 (the surface to which the electric device 15 is not attached), and the other part is attached to the lower surface of the connecting plate portion 219. There is. For this reason, the equipment mounting plate portion 220 is rotatably attached to the end portion of the connecting plate portion 219 (one end portion in the lateral direction of the conveyor device 201). In other words, the connecting plate portion 219 is a portion that becomes a mounting plate portion to which the device mounting plate portion 220 is mounted.

The device mounting member 212 of the present embodiment can also change the posture of the device mounting plate portion 220. That is, it is possible to switch between the in-use posture (see FIG. 8 (a)) in which the device mounting plate 220 is in an upright posture and the retracted posture (see FIG. 8 (c)) in which the device mounting plate 220 is in a sideways posture. ing.

Specifically, in the posture during use, one end of the connecting plate portion 219 is located near the opening surface 225a, and in the present embodiment, this one end portion is located outside the opening surface 225a. .. That is, a part of the connecting plate portion 219 is exposed to the outside (see FIGS. 7 and 8 (a)).

Then, the device mounting plate portion 220 is located outside the storage space 225.
At this time, the device mounting surface of the device mounting plate 220 faces the side outer side of the conveyor device 201, and the back surface faces the space below the roller member 3 (base portion 221 side). ing.
In the above-described embodiment, the device mounting plate portion 20 takes an upright posture on the lower side of the frame member 2, whereas in the present embodiment, the outside of the frame member 2 (short side of the conveyor device 201). It has a structure that takes an upright posture (outside in the direction).

At this time, the device mounting plate portion 220 has a structure that maintains the posture during use in a state where no external force is applied (natural state).
That is, even if the device mounting plate 220 is grasped by hand and rotated upward and outward, the device mounting plate 20 is moved downward and inward by its own weight by releasing the hand unless the posture is changed to the retracted posture. It has a structure that rotates and returns to the posture when in use.
At this time, a part of the bottom plate portion 221a also functions as a movement restricting member that regulates the rotation of the equipment mounting plate portion 220. That is, even if the device mounting plate 220 rotates vigorously and moves further inward than the reference position (arranged position in the posture during use), the back surface abuts on the bottom plate 221a and further movement is prevented. To.

Further, when shifting from this posture during use to the posture during storage, first, the equipment mounting plate portion 220 is rotated upward to the outside so as to be laid on its side, and the connecting plate portion 219 and the equipment mounting plate portion 220 are placed. Slide and move it to the back side of the storage space 225 (see FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b)).
That is, the connecting plate portion 219 and the equipment mounting plate portion 220 are arranged in parallel in the lateral direction (left-right direction in FIG. 8) of the conveyor device 201. Then, the connecting plate portion 219 and the device mounting plate portion 220 are moved from the frame main body portion 2a side located above the opening surface 225a toward the other frame main body portion 2a side.

As a result, the connecting plate portion 219 and the device mounting plate portion 220 are arranged inside the storage space 225, and the transition to the storage posture is completed (see FIG. 8C).

In the retracted posture, the device mounting plate 220 is located below the top plate 221d with the device mounting surface facing upward. At this time, the equipment mounting plate portion 220 is prevented from rotating downward by the rail member 226, so that the sideways posture is maintained. That is, the rail member 226 functions as a movement restricting member that regulates the movement (rotation) of the device mounting plate portion 220 and as a posture maintaining means.

When shifting from the stored posture to the used posture, the procedure is the reverse of the above.
Specifically, first, the connecting plate portion 219 and the device mounting plate portion 220 are slid and moved toward the outside of the storage space 225. Then, when the device mounting plate portion 220 is positioned to the outside, the device mounting plate portion 220 rotates downward and shifts to the posture during use as described above.

In the above-described embodiment, the connecting plate portion 219 and the equipment mounting plate portion 220 are slid and moved toward the outside of the storage space 225, and the equipment mounting plate portion 220 is rotated downward to be used from the stored posture. An example of shifting to a posture is shown.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the device mounting plate portion 220 may be mounted in a state where it does not rotate with respect to the connecting plate portion 219. That is, the device mounting plate portion 220 can switch between a storage posture located on the back side of the storage space 225 and a usage posture slid from the storage posture to the front side, and the device mounting surface can be switched in each posture. It may be facing upward. That is, the posture during use is a posture in which the equipment mounting plate portion 220 faces in the same direction as the posture during storage, and when compared with the posture during storage, more parts of the equipment mounting plate portion 220 are outside the opening surface 225a. It may be in a posture located at. Even in such a structure, similarly to the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to make it less susceptible to the influence of dust and the like in the storage posture.
Such a structure may be adopted when the legs (not shown) of the frame member 2 are relatively short. Further, in this case, the structure may be such that the connecting plate portion 219 is not provided and the sliding body portion is formed on the lower surface of the device mounting plate portion 220.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the storage space 225 is a space surrounded by a wall surface, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, most of each wall surface may be lightened to form a frame, and the storage space may be a space surrounded by the frame.

In the above-described embodiment, the engaging hole portion 33 is integrally formed with the lower plate portion 32, but the engaging hole portion 33 is formed as a separate member, and this separate member is integrally attached to the lower plate portion 32. You may.

In each of the above-described embodiments, an example in which the conveyor devices 1,201 are roller conveyors has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
For example, it may be another conveyor device such as a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor. Further, the transfer device may be capable of switching between the transfer surface by the roller conveyor and the transfer surface by the belt conveyor. That is, any conveyor may be used as long as the transport surface is formed at a position close to the frame member.
