The article alignment apparatus is characterized.

(構成9)また本発明は、前記構成1〜3のいずれかの物品整列装置(A)と、これと平行に隣接する前記構成4〜8のいずれかの物品整列装置(BC)と、装置(A)から装置(BC)に物品を移動する乗換手段とを有し、装置(A)で物品の間隔を広げて整列した後に、整列した物品を乗換手段で装置(A)から装置(BC)に移動し、装置(BC)でさらに広い間隔に整列することを特徴とする物品整列装置である。 (Arrangement 9) The present invention also relates to the article alignment apparatus (A) according to any one of the arrangements 1 to 3, the article alignment apparatus (BC) according to any one of the arrangements 4 to 8 adjacent in parallel therewith, and an apparatus. (A) from the apparatus (A) to the apparatus (BC), and after the article (A) is aligned with the interval between the articles widened, the aligned article is transferred from the apparatus (A) to the apparatus (BC And an apparatus (BC) for aligning at a wider interval.

(構成10)また本発明は、前記構成1〜3のいずれかの物品整列装置(A)と、これと平行に隣接する前記構成5の物品整列装置(B)と、該装置(B)と平行に隣接する前記構成8の物品整列装置(C)と、装置(A)から装置(B)に、及び装置(B)から装置(C)に物品を移動する乗換手段とを有し、装置(A)で物品の間隔を広げて整列した後に、整列した物品を乗換手段で装置(A)から装置(B)に移動し、装置(B)でさらに広い間隔に整列した後に、整列した物品を乗換手段で装置(B)から装置(C)に移動し、装置(C)でさらに広い間隔に整列することを特徴とする物品整列装置である。 (Arrangement 10) The present invention also relates to the article alignment apparatus (A) according to any one of Arrangements 1 to 3, the article alignment apparatus (B) according to Arrangement 5 adjacent to the article alignment apparatus, and the apparatus (B). An article alignment apparatus (C) having the configuration 8 adjacent in parallel; and a transfer means for moving articles from the apparatus (A) to the apparatus (B) and from the apparatus (B) to the apparatus (C). After the alignment of the articles in (A) is expanded and aligned, the aligned articles are moved from the apparatus (A) to the apparatus (B) by the transfer means, and aligned in a wider interval by the apparatus (B), and then the aligned articles Is moved from the apparatus (B) to the apparatus (C) by the transfer means, and is aligned at a wider interval by the apparatus (C).

(構成1)各載置台間に、隣り合う載置台が離隔する方向に付勢する付勢手段を設けたので、端部の載置台を移動して載置台の間隔を変更すると、各載置台の間隔がほぼ均等の状態で間隔が変更され、各載置台が急激な加速度を受けることがなく滑らかに移動し、載置した物品を安定して整列させることができる。駆動手段は端部の載置台のみを駆動させればよいので、構造が簡単なものとなる。各載置台の間隔は巾止ストッパの長さで決まるので、巾止ストッパの長さを変えることで、物品を不等ピッチに整列させることも可能となる。 (Configuration 1) Since the urging means for urging in the direction in which the adjacent mounting tables are separated is provided between the mounting tables, each mounting table is changed when the mounting table at the end is moved to change the spacing between the mounting tables. The intervals are changed in a substantially uniform state, and each mounting table moves smoothly without receiving a rapid acceleration, and the mounted articles can be stably aligned. Since the driving means only needs to drive the mounting table at the end, the structure becomes simple. Since the interval between the mounting bases is determined by the length of the width stop stopper, the articles can be aligned at unequal pitches by changing the length of the width stop stopper.

(構成2)付勢手段が、遊動節がバネで開く方向に付勢されたV字形又は波形のリンク機構であるので、載置台の間隔が広くなっても安定した付勢力を保ち、物品を密着状態から広い間隔に整列させることができる。波形のリンク機構はV字形のリンク機構を複数組み合わせたものである。付勢手段としては通常のコイルバネなどを用いることもできるが、リンク機構はコイルバネなどに比べて物品を広い間隔で整列させることができる。 (Configuration 2) Since the urging means is a V-shaped or corrugated link mechanism urged in the direction in which the floating node is opened by a spring, the urging means maintains a stable urging force even when the interval between the mounting tables is widened, It is possible to align at a wide interval from the close contact state. The corrugated link mechanism is a combination of a plurality of V-shaped link mechanisms. An ordinary coil spring or the like can be used as the biasing means, but the link mechanism can align articles at a wider interval than the coil spring or the like.

(構成3)空所形成部材で供給コンベア上に物品の存在しない空所を作ることができるので、一部の最終装置が故障などして物品を供給できない場合、その最終装置を除くその他の最終装置のみに物品を供給することができる。 (Configuration 3) Since the void forming member can create a void in which no article exists on the supply conveyor, if some final device cannot be supplied due to a failure or the like, other final devices other than the final device can be supplied. Articles can only be supplied to the device.

(構成4)各載置台に、隣り合う載置台が近接、離隔するための伸縮駆動手段を設けたので、前記構成1の整列装置よりもさらに広い間隔で物品を整列させることができる。各載置台に複数の物品を載置すると、異なるピッチの組み合わせで物品を整列できる。 (Configuration 4) Since each mounting table is provided with expansion / contraction driving means for allowing adjacent mounting tables to approach and separate from each other, articles can be aligned at a wider interval than the alignment device of Configuration 1. When a plurality of articles are mounted on each mounting table, the articles can be aligned with different combinations of pitches.

(構成5)伸縮駆動手段を、エアシリンダ、油圧シリンダのようなシリンダ装置とすることで、安定して作動するばかりでなく、安価かつ容易に製作できる。 (Structure 5) By using a cylinder device such as an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder as the expansion / contraction driving means, the expansion / contraction driving means not only operates stably but also can be manufactured inexpensively and easily.

(構成6)隣り合う載置台の双方にシリンダ本体を対向して取り付け、双方の駆動シャフトの先端どうしを接合したので、前記構成4に比べて物品の整列間隔を約2倍広くすることができる。 (Configuration 6) Since the cylinder main body is attached to both of the adjacent mounting tables so as to face each other and the ends of the drive shafts are joined to each other, the alignment interval of the articles can be increased by about twice as compared with the configuration 4. .

(構成7)左右両端の載置台の固定状態と解放状態を選択する固定・解除手段を設けることで、伸長状態から左右どちらの方向にも縮小状態とすることができ、物品を供給する側と排出する側を左右に分けることができ、物品の供給と排出を連続的に効率よく行えるようになる。 (Configuration 7) By providing a fixing / releasing means for selecting a fixed state and a released state of the mounting tables at both the left and right ends, a contracted state can be made in either the left or right direction from the extended state, and the article supply side The discharge side can be divided into right and left, and the supply and discharge of articles can be performed continuously and efficiently.

(構成8)固定・解除手段を左右に移動可能とすることで、整列装置そのものを左右に移動できるので、整列させる物品の数が増えた場合に対応でき、また排出側の整列装置の位置を自由に設定できるメリットもある。 (Configuration 8) Since the fixing / releasing means can be moved to the left and right, the alignment device itself can be moved to the left and right, so that it is possible to cope with an increase in the number of articles to be aligned, and the position of the alignment device on the discharge side There is also a merit that can be set freely.

(構成9)前記構成1〜3のいずれかの物品整列装置(A)と、これと平行に隣接する前記構成4〜8のいずれかの物品整列装置(BC)を組み合わせると、物品を密着状態から広い間隔に整列させることが可能となる。また例えば、装置(A)で物品の間隔をw1に広げた後、複数の物品を装置(BC)の載置台に載せて間隔をw2に広げると、物品をw1の間隔とw2の間隔が混在した不等ピッチで整列できる。 (Configuration 9) Combining the article alignment device (A) according to any one of configurations 1 to 3 and the article alignment device (BC) according to any one of the configurations 4 to 8 adjacent in parallel with the configuration, It is possible to align at a wide interval. Further, for example, when the interval between articles is widened to w1 by the apparatus (A) and then a plurality of articles are placed on the mounting table of the apparatus (BC) and the distance is widened to w2, the distance between the w1 and w2 is mixed. Can be aligned at unequal pitches.

(構成10)前記構成1〜3のいずれかの物品整列装置(A)、前記構成5の物品整列装置(B)及び前記構成8の物品整列装置(C)を組み合わせることで、物品を密着状態から前記構成6よりもさらに広い間隔で整列させることができる。異なる間隔が混在した不等ピッチで整列できることは前記構成6の場合と同様である。 (Arrangement 10) The article alignment apparatus (A) according to any one of Arrangements 1 to 3, the article alignment apparatus (B) according to Arrangement 5 and the article alignment apparatus (C) according to Arrangement 8 are combined to bring the articles into close contact with each other. Therefore, it is possible to align at a wider interval than in the configuration 6. As in the case of the configuration 6, it is possible to align at different pitches in which different intervals are mixed.

本発明において、ガイドはシャフト又はレールが好適である。シャフトの場合は、載置台にシャフトを挿通する挿通部を設け、載置台がシャフトに沿って摺動できるようにする。レールの場合は、載置台がレール上を走行するように構成することができる。巾止ストッパは、長穴を有する板材と長穴内を移動できるピンの組み合わせ、チェーンなど、周知の機構を採用できる。乗換手段としては、物品を押し出すプッシャー機構や物品を吸着し持ち上げて移動する機構など、周知の機構を採用できる。   In the present invention, the guide is preferably a shaft or a rail. In the case of a shaft, an insertion portion for inserting the shaft is provided in the mounting table so that the mounting table can slide along the shaft. In the case of a rail, the mounting table can be configured to travel on the rail. A well-known mechanism such as a combination of a plate material having a long hole and a pin that can move in the long hole, a chain, or the like can be adopted as the stop stopper. As the transfer means, a well-known mechanism such as a pusher mechanism that pushes out an article or a mechanism that picks up and moves an article can be adopted.

図1、2は実施例1の物品(ガラスびん)整列装置Aの正面説明図で、図1は短縮状態、図2は伸長状態を示している。整列装置Aは2本の直線状のガイド1と、複数の載置台2を有するガイド2は円柱状の長尺の金属棒で、図示しない架台に平行に固定されている。載置台は金属製で、上面が物品載置面3となっている。載置台2の挿通部9にガイド1が挿通して載置台がガイドに支持されており(図7)、各載置台が接近、離隔自在にガイドに沿って摺動する。ただし、左端の載置台2aは図示しない架台に固定されている。   1 and 2 are front explanatory views of the article (glass bottle) aligning apparatus A according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a shortened state and FIG. 2 shows an extended state. The alignment device A includes two linear guides 1 and a guide 2 having a plurality of mounting tables 2 which are long cylindrical metal rods and are fixed in parallel to a frame (not shown). The mounting table is made of metal, and the upper surface is an article mounting surface 3. The guide 1 is inserted into the insertion portion 9 of the mounting table 2 and is supported by the guide (FIG. 7), and each mounting table slides along the guide so as to approach and separate. However, the leftmost mounting table 2a is fixed to a frame (not shown).

各載置台2の間には、隣り合う載置台が離隔する方向に付勢する付勢手段としてV字形リンク機構4が設けられている。リンク機構4は両端が両側の載置台2に枢着され、中央の遊動節のピンに巻き付けたバネ5によって、遊動節の角度が開く方向に付勢されている。巾止ストッパ6は長穴を設けた金属ブロックで、端部が載置台2に固定されており、隣の載置台のピン7が長穴の中を移動可能であり、載置台の間隔が所定の間隔になるとピン7が長穴の端部に当接し、間隔が規定される。ねじシャフト8は図示しない架台に軸着され、さらに図示しないモータによって回転駆動するものである。右端の載置台2bの下部がねじシャフト8に螺合して送り機構となっており、ねじシャフト8をモータで回転させると右端の載置台2bがガイド1に沿って移動する。   Between each mounting base 2, the V-shaped link mechanism 4 is provided as a biasing means which biases in the direction which adjoins the mounting base. Both ends of the link mechanism 4 are pivotally attached to the mounting tables 2 on both sides, and are biased in the direction in which the angle of the floating node is opened by a spring 5 wound around the pin of the central floating node. The stop stopper 6 is a metal block provided with a long hole, the end is fixed to the mounting table 2, the pin 7 of the adjacent mounting table can be moved in the long hole, and the interval between the mounting tables is predetermined. The pin 7 comes into contact with the end of the long hole and the interval is defined. The screw shaft 8 is pivotally attached to a gantry (not shown) and is further driven to rotate by a motor (not shown). A lower part of the rightmost mounting table 2b is screwed into the screw shaft 8 to form a feed mechanism. When the screw shaft 8 is rotated by a motor, the rightmost mounting table 2b moves along the guide 1.

図1の短縮状態において、密着状態の物品(ガラスびんg)を載置台2の載置面3上に載置する。その後ねじシャフト8を回転すると右端の載置台2bが右方向に移動を開始する。すると、付勢されたリンク機構4の作用で、各載置台2がほぼ等間隔となるように移動を開始する。載置台の間隔が所定の間隔になると、巾止ストッパ6の作用によって移動が停止し、ガラスびんgが所定間隔で整列する。   In the shortened state of FIG. 1, an article (glass bottle g) in a close contact state is placed on the placement surface 3 of the placement table 2. Thereafter, when the screw shaft 8 is rotated, the rightmost mounting table 2b starts moving in the right direction. Then, by the action of the biased link mechanism 4, the mounting tables 2 start to move so as to be substantially equally spaced. When the interval between the mounting tables reaches a predetermined interval, the movement is stopped by the action of the stop stopper 6 and the glass bottles g are aligned at a predetermined interval.

図3、4は実施例2の物品(ガラスびん)整列装置Bの正面説明図で、図3は短縮状態、図4は伸長状態を示している。整列装置Bは2本の直線状のガイド1と、複数の載置台10を有し、前記整列装置Aと同様に、載置台の挿通部にガイドが挿通して載置台がガイドに支持されており(図7)、各載置台が接近、離隔自在にガイドに沿って摺動するが、図3、4ではガイドを省略して表している。なお、左端の載置台10aは図示しない架台に固定されている。   3 and 4 are front explanatory views of the article (glass bottle) aligning apparatus B according to the second embodiment. FIG. 3 shows a shortened state and FIG. 4 shows an extended state. The alignment device B has two linear guides 1 and a plurality of mounting tables 10, and, like the alignment device A, the guides are inserted through the insertion portions of the mounting table, and the mounting table is supported by the guides. In FIG. 7, each mounting table slides along the guide so that it can approach and separate, but the guide is omitted in FIGS. The leftmost mounting table 10a is fixed to a gantry (not shown).

各載置台10の間には伸縮駆動手段であるエアシリンダが12設けられている。すなわち、エアシリンダ本体を載置台10の正面又は背面に固定し、その駆動シャフト13の先端部を右隣の載置台10に固定している。エアシリンダ12の駆動シャフト13を縮めると図3の短縮状態となり、伸ばすと図4の伸長状態となる。図3においてはガラスびんgがw1間隔になっているが、図4の伸長状態にすると、w1間隔とw2間隔の交互の間隔でガラスびんが整列する。   Between each mounting table 10, there are provided 12 air cylinders which are telescopic drive means. That is, the air cylinder body is fixed to the front surface or the back surface of the mounting table 10, and the tip of the drive shaft 13 is fixed to the mounting table 10 on the right side. When the drive shaft 13 of the air cylinder 12 is contracted, the shortened state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained, and when the drive shaft 13 is extended, the extended state is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the glass bottles g are spaced by w1, but when the stretched state of FIG. 4 is reached, the glass bottles are aligned at alternate intervals of w1 and w2.

図5、6は実施例3の物品(ガラスびん)整列装置Cの正面説明図で、図5は短縮状態、図6は伸長状態を示している。整列装置Cは2本の直線状のガイド1と、複数の載置台20を有する。載置台20は、前記整列装置Bの載置台10と同じ載置台2個を所定間隔を隔てて連結材21(形鋼など)で連結一体化したもので、前記整列装置Bと同様に、載置台の挿通部にガイドが挿通して載置台がガイドに支持されており(図7)、各載置台が接近、離隔自在にガイドに沿って摺動するが、図5、6ではガイドを省略して表している。なお、左端の載置台20aは図示しない架台に固定されている。   5 and 6 are front explanatory views of the article (glass bottle) aligning device C of the third embodiment, FIG. 5 shows a shortened state, and FIG. 6 shows an extended state. The alignment device C includes two linear guides 1 and a plurality of mounting tables 20. The mounting table 20 is formed by connecting and integrating two mounting tables, which are the same as the mounting table 10 of the alignment device B, with a connecting member 21 (such as steel) at a predetermined interval. A guide is inserted through the insertion portion of the mounting table and the mounting table is supported by the guide (FIG. 7), and each mounting table slides along the guide so that it can approach and separate, but the guide is omitted in FIGS. It represents. The leftmost mounting table 20a is fixed to a gantry (not shown).

各載置台20の間には伸縮駆動手段であるエアシリンダが22設けられている。すなわち、エアシリンダ本体を隣り合う双方の載置台20の正面に対向して固定し、双方の駆動シャフト23の先端を接合部24で接合している。双方のエアシリンダ22の駆動シャフト23を縮めると図5の短縮状態となり、伸ばすと図6の伸長状態となる。図5においてはガラスびんgがw1、w2の交互の間隔になっているが、図4の伸長状態にすると、w1、w2及びw3の混在した間隔でガラスびんが整列する。   Between each mounting table 20, there are provided 22 air cylinders as expansion and contraction drive means. That is, the air cylinder main body is fixed facing the front surfaces of both of the adjacent mounting tables 20, and the leading ends of both of the drive shafts 23 are joined by the joining portion 24. When the drive shafts 23 of both air cylinders 22 are contracted, the shortened state shown in FIG. 5 is obtained, and when the drive shafts 23 are extended, the extended state is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the glass bottles g are alternately spaced by w1 and w2. However, when the stretched state of FIG. 4 is reached, the glass bottles are aligned at a mixed interval of w1, w2 and w3.

図7は実施例4の物品(ガラスびん)整列装置の断面説明図で、これは前記の整列装置A、B、Cを組み合わせたものである。図7の左から供給コンベア34、整列装置A、B、C、検査装置35の順に並んでおり、供給コンベア34を密着状態で流れてきたガラスびんを所定の間隔に整列して検査装置35に供給するためのものである。すなわち、整列装置Aでガラスびんを密着状態からw1間隔に整列し、整列装置Bでw1間隔からw1、w2間隔に整列し、さらに整列装置Cでw1、w2、w3間隔に整列する。   FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional explanatory view of an article (glass bottle) aligning apparatus of Example 4, which is a combination of the aligning apparatuses A, B, and C described above. The supply conveyor 34, the alignment devices A, B, and C, and the inspection device 35 are arranged in this order from the left in FIG. 7, and the glass bottles that have flowed in the contact state with the supply conveyor 34 are aligned at a predetermined interval to the inspection device 35. It is for supply. That is, the aligner A aligns the glass bottles in the w1 interval from the close contact state, aligns the w1 interval from the w1 interval to the w1, w2 interval, and further aligns the w1, w2, and w3 intervals by the aligner C.

図7の符号30は乗換手段の例(プッシャー機構)であり、図示しない架台に支持された垂直方向のエアシリンダ31、水平方向のエアシリンダ32、押し板33からなる。エアシリンダ31を伸ばして押し板33を下降し、さらにエアシリンダ32を伸ばして押し板33を右方向に移動し、ガラスびんを供給コンベア34から整列装置Aに乗り換えさせることができる。同様の乗換手段でガラスびんを整列装置A→B→C→検査装置35に乗り換えさせることができる。なお、乗換手段はこれに限らず種々の公知機構を採用できる。   Reference numeral 30 in FIG. 7 is an example of a transfer means (a pusher mechanism), and includes a vertical air cylinder 31, a horizontal air cylinder 32, and a push plate 33 supported by a gantry (not shown). It is possible to extend the air cylinder 31 and lower the push plate 33, further extend the air cylinder 32 and move the push plate 33 to the right, and transfer the glass bottles from the supply conveyor 34 to the alignment device A. The glass bottles can be transferred to the alignment device A → B → C → inspection device 35 by the same transfer means. The transfer means is not limited to this, and various known mechanisms can be adopted.

図7、図10の符号37は空所挿入手段で、これは一部の検査装置が故障した場合など、その検査装置にガラスびんを供給しないためのものであるが、この場合は供給コンベアから整列装置Aにガラスびんを供給する供給手段も兼ねており、供給ベアに沿って所定数だけ並んでいる。空所挿入手段37は、空所形成部材38及びエアシリンダ39からなり、空所形成部材38は平面形状がコの字形の板状をなし、エアシリンダ39によって供給コンベアの上に押し出される。なお、種々の大きさのガラスびんに対応できるように、空所挿入手段37は供給コンベアに沿って簡単に移動可能であり、空所形成部材38は正面部の幅が変更可能である。   Reference numeral 37 in FIGS. 7 and 10 is a void insertion means, which is for not supplying glass bottles to some inspection devices such as when some inspection devices break down. In this case, from the supply conveyor It also serves as a supply means for supplying glass bottles to the aligning apparatus A, and a predetermined number are arranged along the supply bearer. The void inserting means 37 includes a void forming member 38 and an air cylinder 39. The void forming member 38 is formed in a plate shape having a U-shaped planar shape, and is pushed onto the supply conveyor by the air cylinder 39. The space inserting means 37 can be easily moved along the supply conveyor so that various sizes of glass bottles can be accommodated, and the width of the space forming member 38 can be changed.

図10において、(ア)は通常状態を示し、全ての空所形成部材38は供給コンベアの脇にある。ガラスびんgは切り出しストッパ40によって所定数供給コンベア上に密着状態で整列し、整列後に位置決めストッパ41が供給コンベア上にせり出してガラスびんを位置決めする。その後全ての空所挿入手段37の空所形成部材38が供給コンベア上にせり出し、ガラスびんを整列装置Aに乗り換えさせる。   In FIG. 10, (a) shows a normal state, and all the void forming members 38 are on the side of the supply conveyor. The glass bottles g are aligned in close contact with the supply conveyor by the cutout stopper 40, and after alignment, the positioning stopper 41 protrudes onto the supply conveyor to position the glass bottle. Thereafter, the void forming members 38 of all the void inserting means 37 protrude onto the supply conveyor and transfer the glass bottles to the alignment device A.

図10において、(イ)は一部の検査装置にガラスびんを供給しない場合を示している。この場合は4個のガラスびんを1組として扱っている。ガラスびんgは2組の切り出しストッパ40によって4個ずつ切り出され、供給コンベア上に流れてくる。所定の個数が流された後、所定の空所挿入手段37の空所形成部材38が供給コンベア上にせり出し空所形成部材38の右側の側面部38aで下流側のガラスびんを位置決めする。その後、切り出しストッパ40によって残りの所定数のガラスびんが流されるが、ガラスびんは、空所形成部材38の左側の側面部38bでせき止められるので、空所形成部材38の幅の分だけ(4個分)ガラスびんの無い空所が形成される。次に、位置決めストッパ41が供給コンベア上にせり出してガラスびんを位置決めし、残りの空所挿入手段37の空所形成部材38が供給コンベア上にせり出し、ガラスびんを整列装置Aに乗り換えさせる。   In FIG. 10, (a) shows a case where glass bottles are not supplied to some inspection apparatuses. In this case, four glass bottles are handled as one set. Four glass bottles g are cut out by two sets of cut-out stoppers 40 and flow onto the supply conveyor. After the predetermined number has been flown, the space forming member 38 of the predetermined space inserting means 37 protrudes onto the supply conveyor, and the downstream side glass bottle is positioned by the right side surface portion 38a of the space forming member 38. Thereafter, the predetermined number of remaining glass bottles are caused to flow by the cutout stopper 40. However, since the glass bottles are dammed by the left side surface portion 38b of the void forming member 38, only the width of the void forming member 38 (4 A space without glass bottles is formed. Next, the positioning stopper 41 protrudes onto the supply conveyor to position the glass bottle, and the void forming member 38 of the remaining void insertion means 37 protrudes onto the supply conveyor to transfer the glass bottle to the alignment device A.
