Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention is used in the field of transporting powder and granular materials, cardboard boxes, and the like.

(b) Conventional technology Conventional conveyor devices have an endless chain that spans the front and rear sprockets, a plurality of supports each having a rectangular cross section are attached to this chain in parallel, and gaps are provided between each support. This allows for smooth arc movement at the front and rear ends.

However, with the above structure, it is possible to transport cardboard boxes, paper, etc., but when transporting powder and granules, etc., a separate conveyor device is required to avoid spills from the gaps between the supports. There was a problem that the work efficiency was very low.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems.
A shielding member whose center is bent is provided in the gap between the supports.

(d) Means for Solving Problems The present invention spans a chain between a pair of front and rear sprockets, a plurality of supports extending in the left-right direction are attached to the chain at appropriate intervals, and A holding part is provided at the front and rear, and the upper surface is made flat, and a shielding member whose center is bent is provided in the gap between the respective supports, and attachment parts at the front and rear ends of the shielding member are provided to hold the support. The present invention relates to a conveyor device in which the shielding member is fixed to the support member and is positioned at the same level as or below the upper surface of the support member.

(e) Embodiment An embodiment will be explained below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a state in which the conveyor device of the present invention is attached to a freight car. 1 is a box-shaped body provided on the car body 2; A door 3 is provided at the rear of the body 1, and a canopy 4 is provided above.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a conveyor device provided below 1, and this conveyor device will be explained below.

6, 6 are sprockets provided at the front and rear, and the front sprocket 6 is connected to a driving motor 7.

Endless chains 8, 8 are stretched between the pair of sprockets 6, 6, and these chains 8, 8
A conveyor main body 9 is attached to the chain 8,
8, the conveyor body 9 can be moved back and forth.

The conveyor main body 9 is composed of a plurality of supports 10 and a plurality of shielding members 11 for shielding gaps between the supports 10.

As shown in FIG. 4, the supports 10 have a rectangular cross-section and extend in the left-right direction, and are provided with L-shaped attachment portions 12 extending downward from a portion of the chains 8, 8 at the lower portions of both ends. is fixed so that the flat upper surface 13 supports the cargo.

Further, holding portions 14 that open upward are provided on the front and rear surfaces of the supports 10, respectively.

The shielding member 11 extends in the left-right direction to have approximately the same length as the support 10, and has a gate-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 4, with the support 1 at the center.
It has a flexible part 15 which has flexibility and is slightly bent to absorb the error of 0.10, and the front and rear ends have mounting parts 16, 16 which can be fitted into the holding parts 14, 14. have.

Further, the position of the shielding member 11 when the mounting parts 16, 16 are fitted to the holding parts 14, 14 is made to match the pitch diameter 17 of the sprockets 6, 6, and the shielding member 1
1. Fluctuations in the amount of deflection of the central flexible portion 15 are minimized, and the shielding member 11 is positioned at the same level as or below the upper surface of the support 10 so that it does not interfere with the loading of cardboard boxes, etc. ing.

18 is a guide plate provided on the inner wall of the body 1.

19 is a cradle for the conveyor main body 9. The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and the operation will be explained next. First, when transporting a cardboard box, etc.,
Open the door 3 of the body 1 and transfer the luggage to the conveyor body 9.
The conveyor main body 9 is moved forward by the motor 7, and the cargo is moved forward. At the same time, the cargo is sequentially placed on the conveyor main body 9. Finally, the door 3 is closed and the cargo is transported to the destination. .

When arriving at the destination, the baggage can be unloaded one by one by opening the door 3 and moving the conveyor main body 9 backward.

At this time, since the upper surfaces 13 of the supports 10 are flat, the cargo can be stably supported.

Next, when transporting powder or granules, etc., open the canopy 4, load the powder onto the conveyor body 9, and when the inside of the body 1 is full, close the canopy 4 and transport it to the destination. .

Upon arrival at the destination, the powder and granules can be unloaded one by one by opening the door 3 and moving the conveyor main body 9 backward. At that time, the conveyor body 9
A shielding member 11 is provided between the supporting member 10 and the mounting portions 16 and 16 are connected to the holding portion 1.
4 and 14, there is no fear that powder or granules will spill out from between the supports 10, and even if the conveyor main body 9 moves in an arc at the front and rear ends, the shielding members 11 are flexible. Since the portions 15... are formed, smooth arc movement is possible.

(f) Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a shielding member between a plurality of supports attached to a chain, so that it is possible to transfer not only cardboard boxes but also powder and granular materials, thereby improving work efficiency. can be increased.

Furthermore, since the center of the shielding member is bent, errors in the spacing between the supports can be absorbed, and each support can be smoothly moved in an arc.

Furthermore, since the attachment parts at the front and rear ends of the shielding member are fixed to the support, spillage from the conveyor body can be reliably prevented, and the top surface of the support is made flat, so cardboard boxes, etc. can be stabilized. It can be loaded in the same condition.
