Supply and stop of products, and the product index screen (2)
Rotates to widen the space between the articles (6) on the article conveyer conveyor (10) discharged from the star wheel (5), and the supply side star wheel (3) rotates to turn the articles (6) into articles. Since the transfer conveyor (10) is passed to the supply-side device (1) at equal intervals, the braking force of the star wheel (5) is released at the same time that the article indexing screw (2) is driven when the operation is restarted. Therefore, it is necessary to enable delivery of the article (6) from the article indexing screw (2) to the star wheel (5), but if this control is attempted, the configuration of the drive system becomes complicated and expensive. There was a problem.

The distance between the preceding article and the succeeding article is calculated without disturbing the above, and is passed to the supply-side apparatus at equal intervals. In this state, if the number of articles becomes insufficient on the upstream side of the article conveyor, the number of articles becomes excessive on the downstream side of the article conveyor, or the supply-side device becomes unsuccessful, the star wheel article storage When the pocket is near the article transfer position for the supply-side device, the clutch is actuated in the releasing direction to release the connection between the drive system of the supply-side device and the star wheel drive system, and immediately after that the brake is activated. Then, the drive system of the star wheel is braked to stop the article storage pocket of the star wheel at the article delivery position of the supply-side device or at a position slightly before that. At this time, the supply-side device continues to rotate, and each article on the supply-side device moves, undergoes necessary processing, and is discharged to the outside of the supply-side device by the discharge-side star wheel. . On the other hand, the articles in the article storage pocket of the star wheel are not supplied to the supply-side device because the star wheel stops. The articles on the article conveyor are stopped by the star wheel. When restarting the article supply device and the supply-side device, the drive system of the supply-side device is first activated, the movement is transmitted to the clutch, the brake is released immediately before the clutch is connected, and the star wheel Make the drive system rotatable. Also, in this state, the clutch connects the drive system of the supply-side device and the drive system of the star wheel, rotates the star wheel, and supplies the articles supported by the article storage pocket of the star wheel to the supply-side device. Hand over to.

単化できて、製作コストを低減できる。(Effect of the Invention) As described above, in the article supply apparatus of the present invention, the front portion (27a) of the star wheel in the rotation direction of the article storage pocket is formed into a substantially flat shape, and the star wheel is provided on the article conveyor. The distance between the preceding article and the succeeding article is calculated without hindering the progress of the above, and is passed to the supply-side apparatus at equal intervals. In this state, if the number of articles becomes insufficient on the upstream side of the article conveyor, the number of articles becomes excessive on the downstream side of the article conveyor, or the supply-side device becomes unsuccessful, the star wheel article storage When the pocket is near the article transfer position for the supply-side device, the clutch is actuated in the releasing direction to release the connection between the drive system of the supply-side device and the star wheel drive system, and immediately after that the brake is activated. Then, the drive system of the star wheel is braked to stop the article storage pocket of the star wheel at the article delivery position of the supply-side device or at a position slightly before that. At this time, the supply-side device continues to rotate, and each article on the supply-side device moves, undergoes necessary processing, and is discharged to the outside of the supply-side device by the discharge-side star wheel. . On the other hand, the articles in the article storage pocket of the star wheel are not supplied to the supply-side device because the star wheel stops. The articles on the article conveyor are stopped by the star wheel. When restarting the article supply device and the supply-side device, the drive system of the supply-side device is first activated, the movement is transmitted to the clutch, the brake is released immediately before the clutch is connected, and the star wheel Make the drive system rotatable. Also, in this state, the clutch connects the drive system of the supply-side device and the drive system of the star wheel, rotates the star wheel, and supplies the articles supported by the article storage pocket of the star wheel to the supply-side device. I will give it to
The product indexing screw can be eliminated, the structure of the drive system can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

効果がある。Further, since the clutch and the brake are provided in the drive system of the star wheel, even if the device is stopped, it can be easily started up, and only the supply-side device is operated and the star wheel and the supply-side device are operated. This has the effect of making it easier to draw the synchronization of.
