Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a conveying device for automatically orienting an article, and more particularly to a conveying device for orienting an article having a cutting section in which a part of a cylindrical outer diameter is cut out in parallel.

That is, this invention provides a method for orienting an article such as a belt outer ring of a pole joint having a cutter opening as shown in FIG.
This machine was developed for alignment and sorting, in other words, it orients and sorts the articles that are sent in no direction in the previous elevator so that they are suitable for processing in the next process based on one side of the opening of the cutting chamber. It is effective as a device.

The structure of the present invention will be explained below according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 5.

A bottom plate 5 having a long hole 3 for inserting a gear 2 on the side surface of the main body 1 and having guide plates 4, 4' tightly attached to both sides of the upper surface is attached to the main body 1 at an angle.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a sliding plate having a rack 6 engraved on its lower surface, which is inserted between the guide plates 4 and 4', and engages the rack 6' with the gear 2.

A side plate 7 is screwed onto the other side of the bottom plate 5, that is, the side facing the main body 1, so as to face the main body 1, and the side plate 7, the main body 1, the guide plate 4,
A space 8 surrounded by 4' and a sliding plate 6 is used as a chute, and an article W is thrown into this chute and is slid or rolled to a part A where the directions are aligned.

A press plate 9 is attached to the upper part of the space 8 to prevent the article from jumping up when it comes to the space 8.

A pin 10.11 is provided for separating and discharging articles one by one into the cavity 8 from the side surface of the main body 1, and an air cylinder 12.13 for driving this pin is attached to the outer surface of the main body 1.

While the pin 11 penetrates the main body 1 and protrudes into the cavity 8, the other pin 10 is always set back from the inner surface of the cavity 8.

A presser plate 15 having an outwardly rounded tip 14 is attached to the upper part of the position A where the article is oriented, and the upper surface of the bottom plate 5 and
The distance H from the lower surface of the presser plate 15 is set to a size that allows a little extra space between the storage parts of the articles, and is smaller than the circular diameter of the articles.

A non-slip material is placed on the surface of the center notch 16 of the presser plate 15.
For example, a roller 18 equipped with a rubber lining or a rubber ring 17 is attached so that its outer periphery slightly protrudes from the lower surface of the presser plate 15, and is constantly rotated in the direction of arrow a by a motor 19I/c.

The mounting plate 20 of the motor 19 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the main body 1.

The sliding plate 6, which has a cross-shaped cross section and moves in the direction of the arrow mark so as to impart rotation to the article W, has markings 6, 6 on both sides, and a rack 6' carved on the lower surface, so that the sliding plate 6 can move in the direction of the arrow. 2 and are slidably held against the bottom plate 5 by guide plates 4 and 4' having recesses corresponding to the protrusions 5// and 5//, respectively.

The upper surfaces of the guide plates 4 and 4' have different heights at the front 21 and the rear 22, with the front 21 being slightly higher than the upper surface of the sliding plate 6, and the height of the rear 22 being such that the sliding plate 6 is in the direction of the arrow. An inclined surface is provided so as to be slightly lower than the height of the sliding plate 6 when the article is moved in the direction of , so that the lower surface of the article does not come into contact with the upper surface of the sliding plate 6 while the article is at the position up to 21. Further, while the article is at position 22 rather than position 21, the lower surface of the article is in contact with the upper surface of the sliding plate 6 or the upper surface of the guide plate.

A chute 23 connected successively to the main body 1 has dimensions slightly larger than the dimensions inside the cutting section of the article, and regulates the article to slide to a predetermined position for processing without falling.

Next, the operating state of the device according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Wl and Wo are the articles in front of the pins 11.10, respectively.

A signal is given to a cylinder 12 for driving the pin 10, which is recessed from the inner surface of the main body 1 in the cavity 80, to project into the cavity 8.

Next, when the pin 11 protruding into the space 8 is moved back from the inner surface of the main body 1 using the cylinder 13, the article W1 rolls toward the rear of the space 8.

remains in the cavity 8 at the pin 10.

When the article W1 reaches below the roller 18 and is in a state like W3 (the cutting section corresponds to the upper surface of the guide plate 4゜4'' and the lower surface of the presser plate 15), the presser plate 1
5, the rotation of the object is restricted and it slides down in that state.

When the article is in the W2 state, the outer circumferential diameter of the article is larger than H, so it hits the 8 part 14 at the tip of the presser plate 15 and cannot slide or roll down, so it stays there.

Since the roller 18 is constantly rotating at this position A,
The article W2 is returned or returned to the guide plate 4.
．． Since 4' is fixed, the article only moves back and forth a little and stays in place because it wants to rotate.

At this time, when the air motor 24 is activated by the signal and the gear 2 is rotated in the direction of the arrow O, the sliding plate 6 that engages therewith advances in the direction of the arrow A, pushing up the article W2 a little and moving forward.

When the advancing speed of the sliding plate 6 and the rotational speed of the roller 18 are made approximately equal, when the roller 18 reaches the cutting section 25 of the article W2, the article W2 rotates at that position without separating from the other cutting sections 18, and the roller 25 faces and contacts the upper surface of the sliding plate 6, the article enters the state of W3, enters the range of dimension H, and can slide out, and the article slides down.

After the article Wl rolls away due to the retreat of the pin 11, the pin 11 is projected into the space 8 by the cylinder 13, and when the pin 10 is retreated from the inner surface of the body 1 by the cylinder 12 at the signal of the projection, the article Wo moves to the Wl position and waits for the next operation.

When the sliding plate 6 moves in the direction of the arrow or returns, the guide plate 4
, 4' are higher than the top surface of the sliding plate 6, so Wl, W
o...σ Since the article never comes into contact with the sliding plate 6,
The sliding plate 6 is difficult to apply extra force or force to the item.

After the sliding plate 6 has returned to its initial position, a signal is applied to the pin 11 to move it backward, and the article repeats the above-mentioned operation, and the oriented article is continuously moved to the rear chute 2.
You can slide it to 3.

As explained above, the present invention is a chute for conveying articles having a cutting section on a part of the outer diameter of a cylinder, and includes a guide plate forming the bottom surface of the chute, and a guide plate that is movable in the front and back direction between the guide plates. It consists of a sliding plate whose upper surface slightly protrudes from the surface, a presser plate that forms the upper surface of the chute, and a constantly rotating roller whose part is visible on the upper surface of the chute. In addition, since the distance between the bottom of the chute and the rollers is set to be larger than the cutting inner diameter of the article and smaller than the true inner diameter of the article, the article that is sent in any condition can be processed into the next article in the same shape with the processing reference plane constant. Since it can be sent to the process, it is easy and possible to use equipment for the next process, stable work can be done, and work efficiency can be improved.

In addition, the direction of objects can be automated, reducing costs.
