Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an empty box feeding device for product packaging, for example, cathode ray tube packaging.

Generally, when packaging this type of product, a large number of empty packaging boxes must be prepared and stored in a nearby location at the time of work, which requires a relatively large amount of space. Moreover, when stacking them in order to make effective use of space and increasing the number of tiers, there are disadvantages such as difficulty in determining which one to use.

In view of such conventional circumstances, the present invention utilizes the upper floor as a storage space for empty packaging boxes, and stores the empty boxes stacked in a predetermined number of tiers in one row from the upper floor to the work area. In this way, space can be used effectively and labor can be saved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an empty packing box supplying apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The attached drawings show the overall configuration of the device according to this embodiment.

In this attached drawing, a packing work line for products, in this case cathode ray tubes, includes an incoming conveyor 1 for carrying in finished cathode ray tubes 2, a work table 3 for packing individual cathode ray tubes 2 carried into boxes, and a packed product. The apparatus of the present invention is applied to such a packaging work line as an example.

That is, in the upper floor part 6 of this packaging line, a storage and supply conveyor 7 is provided, and a predetermined number of stages are arranged on this conveyor 7.
In this case, the empty packaging boxes 8 stacked in four stages are neatly stored in each row, and the empty boxes 8 to be transferred are slid to the supply end side of the shunted storage and supply conveyor 7. A roller container carrier 9 and an open/close roller container carrier 10 corresponding to the length of one row of empty boxes 8 are provided, and a chute 1 whose lower end is extended near the workbench 3 is provided at the end thereof.
1, and the lower end height of the chute 11 is a height h suitable for packing work by the packing worker 12 on the workbench 3.
The goal is to maintain it.

In addition, the storage and supply conveyor 7 may be operated by the worker 12.
1 of the stacked empty boxes 8, for example, by a foot switch that is operated to open and close by stepping on the foot.
The conveyor is used to convey a portion equivalent to a row, and a stepwise intermittent drive conveyor is suitable as this type of conveyor.

Further, the roller container carrier 9 constitutes a mechanism for sliding the first row of empty boxes transferred from the storage supply conveyor 7.

The opening/closing roller container carrier 10 has an opening/closing mechanism that receives the empty boxes introduced by the roller container carrier 9 and drops the empty boxes at a necessary time, and the roller container carrier 10 has an opening/closing mechanism that receives the empty boxes introduced by the roller container carrier 9 and drops the empty boxes at a necessary time. After receiving the empty boxes 8, they are opened from the A position to the B position by another foot switch operation in the same manner as described above, and one row of empty boxes 8 in the received C state is operated by the chute 11. It is responsible for dropping it at position 1 and keeping it on standby in state D.

Therefore, in the configuration of this embodiment, the worker 12 individually takes out the empty boxes 8 that are waiting in the D state at the lower end of the chute 11 and packs them on the workbench 3. When the empty box 8 in the D state is removed or the foot switch is operated after confirming that the empty box 8 is gone, the Ia roller converter carrier 10 is first opened from the A position to the B position, and then the next empty box in the C state is opened. 8 rows of boxes are dropped through chute 11, supplied to state D, and then supplied to state A again.
At the same time as returning to the position, the storage and supply conveyor 7 then moves to 1
It is operated for the number of rows, and the next eight rows of empty boxes are sent to the roller converter carrier 9, and these eight empty boxes are again held in the C state on the open/close roller converter carrier 10, and this operation and work are repeated. This allows the cathode ray tubes 2, which are products, to be sequentially packed and transported to the outside by the transport conveyor 5. For example, by connecting a transport truck zone to the right end side of the figure, very rational logistics packaging can be achieved. It is possible to form a line.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, the empty box storage and supply space, which is relatively high and requires a large space, is located in the upper floor above the location where the packing work line is installed. Not only is it extremely effective in making full use of the work space that tends to be small even for workers, but it also allows empty boxes in the standby, or D state, to be kept close to the workers. It is convenient for work and helps improve efficiency, and the stacked empty boxes on the upper floor are transferred row by row by a storage supply conveyor, and sent onto a chute by an opening/closing mechanism using a colocon carrier etc. Because of this, it can exhibit many advantages such as easy identification of individual empty boxes.
