Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pushing device for automatically pushing articles on a transfer path out of the transfer path.

For example, when a cylindrical article such as a roll of newspaper or a drum can is transported on its side on a conveyor and reaches a specific location, the side of the article is transferred to the next process. The present invention provides an extrusion device that can function to apply force to a portion of the conveyor and push it out of the conveyor. This is an article extrusion device consisting of a floor cover located at the same height as the extrusion device, and an extrusion device. When the lid is operated, the lid can be opened upward using one end (the one farthest from the product) as a fulcrum. The push-out member is rotatably attached to one end of each long and short link member, with a long link installed on the article side and a short link installed on the side farther from the article, so that the extrusion member It is characterized in that the cylinder device is operated to open the floor cover upward while sliding along the lower surface of the floor cover, and at the same time push out the article.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the extrusion device in a state where the article is stored in a storage space provided on the floor until the article is transferred to a certain position in the extrusion device by a transporting body.

In this device, the end of the floor cover 9 farther from the articles is rotatably attached to the floor wall in the storage space, and the other end is free, so that when the cover is closed, it is attached to the floor surface. It is supported by long and short link members 5 via the extrusion member 1 so as to be located at the same height as the above. The push-out member 1 is in slidable contact with the lower surface of the floor cover 9. The push-out member 1 is rotatably attached to one end of long and short links 5, with the long link disposed on the article side and the short link disposed on the side farther from the article. The other end of the link 5 is rotatably attached to the bottom of the storage space.

One end of the cylinder device 3 is rotatably attached to the bottom of the storage space, and the other end is connected to the end of the extrusion member, and its tip is in direct contact with the article. A contact member 2 is provided. Incidentally, the material and shape of this contact member are not particularly specified as long as it does not damage the article and can provide an appropriate pressing force.

In operation of this cylinder device, the entire extrusion device is driven by a piston movement of a shaft within the cylinder by air or hydraulic pressure (not shown). Next, the specific operation of the apparatus of the above embodiment will be explained based on FIG. 2.

The articles are transported by the conveyor 6, and when they reach the location where the extrusion device is installed, a limit switch (not shown) is activated to stop the transport. At this time, the relay is activated and hydraulic pressure is activated to push out the shaft of the cylinder device 3. Due to the extrusion of the shaft, the extrusion member 1 is also pushed toward the article. At this time, the function of the pushing member 1 is to push the floor cover upward using one side as a fulcrum by the rotation of the link member, while sliding on the lower surface of the floor cover and moving forward in a gentle arc toward the article. It turns out. In the process of this forward movement, the contact member 2 (a rotating body whose surface is covered with sponge or felt) installed at the tip of the extrusion member comes into contact with the article 7, and in the process of this forward movement, the contact member 2 (rotating body covered with sponge or felt) slides (rolls) the contact surface. (rotating) while applying a pressing force to the article 7 and pushing it out of the conveyor.

When the stroke of the cylinder device 3 reaches its end point, the pushing member 1 stops moving forward and retreats to its original position again. This operation will then be repeated.

In the extrusion device of the present invention that operates as described above, the extrusion member moves forward in a gentle arc shape, so it is possible to successfully roll and extrude a cylindrical or cylindrical article as shown in the figure. can. Moreover, when the device of the present invention is not in use, it can be stored under the floor surface 8 and the floor cover 9 can be used as a floor surface. Therefore, there is no need to take the trouble to provide a dead space for installing the extrusion device, and the device can function particularly effectively in narrow working areas.
