Description

本発明は、たとえば主搬送経路上で搬送されている物品を、この主搬送経路の側部外方に設けた分岐搬送経路に移したりするのに使用される転換設備に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a conversion facility used, for example, for transferring an article being conveyed on a main conveyance path to a branch conveyance path provided outside the side of the main conveyance path.

従来、この種のものとしては、次のような構成が提供されている。すなわち、主搬送経路に沿って配設した左右一対の無端回動体間に、主搬送経路とは直交方向のガイドバーを多数取り付け、これらガイドバーに案内される可動体の裏面側に被ガイド部を設けるとともに、この被ガイド部を案内するガイド体群を設けている。   Conventionally, the following configuration is provided as this type. That is, between the pair of left and right endless rotating bodies arranged along the main transport path, a large number of guide bars orthogonal to the main transport path are attached, and the guided portion is provided on the back side of the movable body guided by these guide bars. And a guide body group for guiding the guided portion.

前記ガイドバーは、扁平状の荷載置板部と、この荷載置板部の裏面中間部から前記主搬送経路の方向で一対に連設された脚板部と、荷載置板部の前端から下方かつ後方に延びる前板部と、荷載置板部の後端から下方かつ後方に延びる後板部と、後板部の下端と後位の脚板部の下端とを結ぶ底板部とにより構成される。   The guide bar includes a flat load placing plate portion, a leg plate portion connected in a pair in the direction of the main transport path from a back surface intermediate portion of the load placing plate portion, and a lower side from a front end of the load placing plate portion and The front plate portion extends rearward, the rear plate portion extends downward and rearward from the rear end of the load placement plate portion, and the bottom plate portion connecting the lower end of the rear plate portion and the lower end of the rear leg plate portion.

また可動体はガイドバーに外嵌するもので、荷載置板部に上側から対向する上板材と、前板部に前側から対向する前板材と、後板部に後側から対向する後板材と、底板部に下側から対向する底板材とにより矩形筒状に形成される。そして底板材でかつ両脚板部を中にして前後方向の一方(後方)には、ガイドバーの底板部により形成された裏面側に対して弾性的に当接するガタつき防止部が形成されている。さらに底板材には、両脚板部間に嵌合して摺動案内される被ガイド部が形成されている。なお可動体は、たとえば合成樹脂からなり、その際に、上板材の表面側には横押し用の作用部が一体成形される。また、被ガイド部を利用して被ガイド体が取り付けられる。   Further, the movable body is externally fitted to the guide bar, an upper plate material facing the load mounting plate portion from above, a front plate material facing the front plate portion from the front side, and a rear plate material facing the rear plate portion from the rear side. The bottom plate portion is formed in a rectangular cylindrical shape by a bottom plate material facing from the lower side. Further, a rattle prevention portion that elastically contacts the back side formed by the bottom plate portion of the guide bar is formed on one side (rear) in the front-rear direction with both leg plate portions in between. . Further, the bottom plate member is formed with a guided portion that is fitted and slidably guided between both leg plate portions. The movable body is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and at this time, an action portion for lateral pressing is integrally formed on the surface side of the upper plate member. Further, the guided body is attached using the guided portion.

この従来形式によると、無端回動体の駆動により一体移動を行うガイドバー群によって物品の支持搬送を行え、その際に被ガイド部がガイド体群に案内されて可動体をコンベヤ幅方向に移動させることで、可動体群により物品を横押しして側方へと移すことになる(たとえば、特許文献1参照。)。
特開平6−329225号公報(第3−4頁、第1図、第9図)
According to this conventional type, the article can be supported and conveyed by the guide bar group that moves integrally by driving the endless rotating body, and at that time, the guided portion is guided by the guide body group to move the movable body in the conveyor width direction. As a result, the article is laterally pushed by the movable body group and moved to the side (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP-A-6-329225 (page 3-4, FIGS. 1 and 9)

しかし上記した従来構成によると、合成樹脂からなる可動体は、同様の厚さの上板材と前板材と後板材と底板材とにより矩形筒状に形成されていることで、強度的に弱い形状となり、重量大の物品の横押し移動時に変形する恐れがある。これに対しては厚さを厚くすることも考えられるが、これによると全体が重量大になるとともに、摺接摩擦力が大きくなって可動体の移動がスムースに行えない。   However, according to the conventional configuration described above, the movable body made of synthetic resin is formed in a rectangular cylinder shape with the upper plate material, the front plate material, the rear plate material, and the bottom plate material having the same thickness, so that the shape is weak in strength. Thus, there is a risk of deformation when a heavy article is moved laterally. In order to cope with this, it is conceivable to increase the thickness. However, this increases the overall weight, and the sliding frictional force increases, so that the movable body cannot be moved smoothly.

そこで本発明の請求項1記載の発明は、物品横押し体を、全体重量をさほど重くすることなく強度アップし得る転換設備を提供することを目的としたものである。

上記のように、下面側開放の型レール状に構成された物品支持体50によると、全体を軽量に形成し得るとともに、安価に提供し得る。
各物品支持体50には、この物品支持体50に外嵌して案内されることで長さ方向51に移動自在な矩形筒状の物品横押し体70が設けられる。これら物品横押し体70は、前記物品載置板部54が下側から対向される扁平状の上板材71と、この上板材71の前端から下方かつ後方に延びることで前板部56が内側から対向される前板材72と、前記上板材71の後端から下方かつ後方に延びることで後板部58が内側から対向される後板材73と、前板材72と後板材73の下端間に位置されることで前位底板部57や後位底板部59が上側から対向される上位底板材74とにより矩形筒状部分が形成されている。そして、上位底板材74の下方に隙間Sを置いて位置される下位底板材75が形成されている。
As described above, according to the article support 50 configured in the shape of a mold rail that is open on the lower surface side, the whole can be formed in a light weight and can be provided at low cost.
Each article support 50 is provided with a rectangular cylindrical article lateral pusher 70 that can be moved in the longitudinal direction 51 by being externally fitted to the article support 50 and guided. These article laterally-pressing bodies 70 have a flat upper plate 71 facing the article mounting plate 54 from below, and a front plate 56 that extends downward and rearward from the front end of the upper plate 71 so that the front plate 56 is inside. A front plate member 72 opposed to the rear plate member 73, a rear plate member 73 that extends downward and rearward from the rear end of the upper plate member 71, and a rear plate member 73 that is opposed from the inner side, and between the lower ends of the front plate member 72 and the rear plate member 73. By being positioned, the front bottom plate portion 57 and the rear bottom plate portion 59 form a rectangular cylindrical portion with the upper bottom plate material 74 opposed from above. A lower bottom plate material 75 is formed below the upper bottom plate material 74 with a gap S therebetween.

ここで前板材72ならびに後板材73の厚さt(たとえば3mm)に対して、上位底板材74の厚さT(たとえば5mm)は厚く形成され、そして、上位底板材74の厚さTに対して、下位底板材75の厚さTT(たとえば7mm)は厚く形成されている。すなわち、t<T<TTに形成されている。   Here, the thickness T (for example, 5 mm) of the upper bottom plate 74 is formed thicker than the thickness t (for example, 3 mm) of the front plate 72 and the rear plate 73, and Thus, the thickness TT (for example, 7 mm) of the lower bottom plate member 75 is formed thick. That is, t <T <TT.

また、底板材74でかつ両脚板部55A,55Bを中にして前後方向の他方(前方)からは、前位の脚板部55Aに形成した嵌合部60Aに対して下方から嵌合して、物品支持体50の裏面側に嵌合案内される突状の被嵌合部76が形成されている。さらに、前記物品横押し体70の上板材71には、前記物品支持体50に形成した凹部52に上方から対向される一対の凸部77が形成されるとともに、前記凸状部53に上方から対向される3本の凹溝部78が形成されている。   Further, from the other side (front side) in the front-rear direction with both leg plate portions 55A and 55B in the bottom plate member 74, the fitting portion 60A formed on the front leg plate portion 55A is fitted from below. A protruding fitting portion 76 that is fitted and guided on the back side of the article support 50 is formed. Further, the upper plate member 71 of the article laterally pressing body 70 is formed with a pair of convex portions 77 opposed to the concave portion 52 formed on the article support body 50 from above, and the convex portion 53 from above. Three concave groove portions 78 opposed to each other are formed.

そして、物品横押し体70における前板材72と後板材73と上位底板材74とには、それぞれ、物品支持体50の外面側に弾性的に当接自在な舌片体が設けられている。すなわち、前板材72には前板部56の外面側に弾性的に当接自在な舌片体80が、後板材73には後板部58の外面側に弾性的に当接自在な舌片体81が、上位底板材74には前位底板部57と後位底板部59との外面側にそれぞれ弾性的に当接自在な舌片体82,83が設けられている。   The front plate member 72, the rear plate member 73, and the upper bottom plate member 74 of the article laterally pressing body 70 are provided with tongue pieces that can be elastically contacted to the outer surface side of the article support 50, respectively. That is, the front plate member 72 has a tongue piece 80 elastically contactable with the outer surface side of the front plate portion 56, and the rear plate member 73 has a tongue piece elastically contactable with the outer surface side of the rear plate portion 58. The body 81 is provided with tongue pieces 82 and 83 which are elastically abuttable on the outer surface sides of the front bottom plate portion 57 and the rear bottom plate portion 59, respectively.

ここで舌片体80〜83は、それぞれ前記物品支持体50における長さ方向51で一対が配設されている。その際に舌片体80〜83群は、前記物品支持体50における長さ方向51の一端側を連結部80a,81a,82a,83aとして、すなわち相隣接側を連結部80a,81a,82a,83aとして、コの字状の切り込みを入れて舌片状に形成されるとともに、切り起こされた遊端は物品支持体50の外面側への当接部に形成されている。   Here, a pair of tongue pieces 80 to 83 are arranged in the length direction 51 of the article support 50. At that time, the tongue piece bodies 80 to 83 have one end side in the length direction 51 of the article support body 50 as the connecting portions 80a, 81a, 82a, 83a, that is, the adjacent sides are connected portions 80a, 81a, 82a, 83a is formed in a tongue shape with a U-shaped cut, and the cut and raised free end is formed at the abutting portion on the outer surface side of the article support 50.

前記上位底板材74の部分には、両脚板部55A,55B間に嵌合して摺動案内される被ガイド部85が形成されている。また前記上板材71の上面側には横押し作用部86が形成されている。ここで横押し作用部86の一側面(左側面)は、起立しかつ前部に対して後部が他側へと傾斜した横押し作用面86aに形成されている。以上の71〜86などからなる物品横押し体70は、合成樹脂によって一体成形されている。そして横押し作用面86aには、外面が凹凸状のゴム板などからなる当接部材87が張り付けられている。   A portion of the upper bottom plate member 74 is formed with a guided portion 85 that is fitted and slidably guided between the leg plate portions 55A and 55B. Further, a lateral pushing action portion 86 is formed on the upper surface side of the upper plate member 71. Here, one side surface (left side surface) of the side pushing action portion 86 is formed on a side pushing action surface 86a that stands up and whose rear portion is inclined to the other side with respect to the front portion. The article laterally pressing body 70 composed of the above 71-86 and the like is integrally formed of synthetic resin. An abutting member 87 made of a rubber plate having an uneven outer surface is attached to the lateral pushing action surface 86a.

上記の構成からなる物品横押し体70によると、上位底板材74の下方に隙間Sを置いて下位底板材75が形成されていることで、すなわち二重底板材の形状によって、全体の強度アップを可能にし得、しかも合成樹脂による一体成形時には、前板材72ならびに後板材73と上位底板材74ならびに下位底板材75との接続部分に、成形時において冷却収縮により発生する歪みなどの変形が生じることのない成形を行える。さらに、前板材72ならびに後板材73よりも上位底板材74を厚く、上位底板材74よりも下位底板材75を厚く形成したことで、より一層、全体の強度アップを可能にし得るとともに、変形の生じない成形を行えることになる。   According to the article laterally pressed body 70 having the above-described configuration, the overall strength is increased by forming the lower bottom plate 75 with the gap S below the upper bottom plate 74, that is, the shape of the double bottom plate. In addition, at the time of integral molding with a synthetic resin, deformations such as distortion caused by cooling shrinkage at the time of molding occur at the connecting portions of the front plate member 72, the rear plate member 73, the upper bottom plate member 74, and the lower bottom plate member 75. It can be molded without any problems. Furthermore, the upper base plate material 74 is made thicker than the front plate material 72 and the rear plate material 73, and the lower base plate material 75 is made thicker than the upper base plate material 74, so that the overall strength can be further increased, and the deformation can be improved. Molding that does not occur can be performed.

前記物品横押し体70には、前記被ガイド部85を利用して被ガイド体が取り付けられる。すなわち前記被ガイド部85の中央部からローラ軸88が、その上部を埋め込み成形により支持させることで垂設され、このローラ軸88の突出下部に、被ガイド体の一例であるガイドローラ89が遊転自在に取り付けられ、以てガイドローラ89は物品横押し体70の裏面外方に位置される。   A guided body is attached to the article laterally pressing body 70 using the guided portion 85. That is, a roller shaft 88 is suspended from the center portion of the guided portion 85 by supporting the upper portion thereof by embedding molding, and a guide roller 89 as an example of a guided body is idled below the protruding portion of the roller shaft 88. The guide roller 89 is mounted so as to be freely rotatable, and thus the guide roller 89 is positioned outside the back surface of the article laterally pressing body 70.

このようにローラ軸88の上部を被ガイド部85の中央部に埋め込み成形により支持させることで、このローラ軸88の支持部を両脚板部55A,55B間に位置し得、すなわち物品支持体50の底板部57,59よりも上方に位置し得、これによりガイドローラ89を底板部底板部57,59に接近して配置できて、物品横押し体70自体の高さを低くし得る。さらにローラ軸88は、十分に高さを取れる被ガイド部85によって強固に支持し得る。   Thus, by supporting the upper portion of the roller shaft 88 in the center portion of the guided portion 85 by embedding molding, the support portion of the roller shaft 88 can be positioned between both leg plate portions 55A and 55B, that is, the article support 50. Accordingly, the guide roller 89 can be disposed close to the bottom plate portions 57 and 59, and the height of the article laterally pressing body 70 itself can be reduced. Furthermore, the roller shaft 88 can be firmly supported by the guided portion 85 which can take a sufficient height.

The main body 100 is fixed to the lateral connection member 5 via a bracket 102. As shown in FIG. 2, reverse guide bodies 103, 104A, and 104B that allow the guide roller 89 to be fitted are attached to both shafts 30 and 31 so that the guide roller 89 can be guided at the beginning and end of the reverse portion. ing.

図7、図8、図10に示すように、前記上位フレーム材10で、チェーン40を配設するとともに往路側ガイドレール部18を形成してなる内側の段部12の上方に、この段部12の上方を閉塞する上部カバー106が配置される。この上部カバー106は、起立部11に対して上方から載置した状態で、上方から通したボルト107を、内側上向き溝部14内に予め位置させたナット体108に螺合させることで、上位フレーム材10に固定し得る。   As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 10, in the upper frame material 10, the step portion is disposed above the inner step portion 12 in which the chain 40 is disposed and the outward guide rail portion 18 is formed. An upper cover 106 that closes the top of 12 is disposed. The upper cover 106 is placed on the upright portion 11 from above, and a bolt 107 passed from above is screwed to a nut body 108 that is previously positioned in the inner upward groove portion 14, so that the upper frame It can be fixed to the material 10.

図2、図7、図8、図10に示すように、本体フレーム1の一側外方には、主搬送経路45に対して外方かつ下手側へと傾斜した分岐経路110を形成する分岐コンベヤ111が設けられる。ここで分岐コンベヤ111は多数のローラ112を有し、これらローラ112は、その端部を上位フレーム材10の外側の段部13内に位置させ、かつ起立部11に充分に接近させた状態で配置される。なお上位フレーム材10の外側上向き蟻溝15などを分岐コンベヤ111との連結に利用できる。116は物品を示す。   As shown in FIGS. 2, 7, 8, and 10, a branch that forms a branch path 110 that is inclined outward and inferior to the main transport path 45 is formed on one side outward of the main body frame 1. A conveyor 111 is provided. Here, the branching conveyor 111 has a large number of rollers 112, and these rollers 112 are positioned in the stepped portion 13 outside the upper frame material 10 and are sufficiently close to the standing portion 11.

以下に、上記した実施の形態における作用を説明する。
転換装置は、駆動装置34の電動機35を作動させ、減速機36に連動した駆動軸31を介してスプロケット39を強制回転させ、以て両チェーン40を移動し得る。この両チェーン40の移動によって物品支持体50群を、回転体64を介して両ガイドレール部18,25に支持案内させた状態で移動し得る。これにより物品支持体50群が循環移動することから、始端部の物品支持体50群上に供給された物品116は主搬送経路45上で搬送される。
The operation in the above embodiment will be described below.
The conversion device can move both chains 40 by operating the electric motor 35 of the drive device 34 and forcibly rotating the sprocket 39 via the drive shaft 31 linked to the speed reducer 36. By the movement of both the chains 40, the article support 50 group can be moved in a state of being supported and guided by the both guide rail portions 18 and 25 via the rotating body 64. As a result, the article support 50 group circulates and moves, so that the article 116 supplied onto the starting article support 50 group is conveyed on the main conveyance path 45.

なお搬送時において、往路での両チェーン40の移動は上部カバー106の下で行われ、また高速時にチェーン40が浮き上がろうとしたとき、この上部カバー106の下面にチェーン40が当接することで、それ以上の浮き上がりは阻止される。また復路での両チェーン40の移動は上端延長部27の下で行われる。   During transport, both the chains 40 are moved under the upper cover 106 in the forward path. When the chain 40 is about to float at a high speed, the chain 40 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper cover 106. Any further lifting is prevented. The movement of both chains 40 on the return path is performed under the upper end extension 27.

このような搬送を行う際に物品支持体50群と一体的に移動する物品横押し体70は、そのガイドローラ89がガイド装置群90,95に案内されることによって、被ガイド部85を介して物品支持体50の長さ方向51に往復移動したり、物品支持体50とともに主搬送経路45に沿って直線状に移動したりする。   The article laterally pressing body 70 that moves integrally with the article support 50 group during such conveyance is guided via the guided portion 85 by the guide roller 89 being guided by the guide device groups 90 and 95. The article support 50 is reciprocated in the length direction 51 of the article support 50, or is moved linearly along the main transport path 45 together with the article support 50.

その際に、物品横押し体70における前板材72と後板材73と上位底板材74とに設けられた舌片体80〜83群が、物品支持体50における前板部56、底板部57、後板部58、後位底板部59の外面側に弾性的に当接して摺接することで、物品支持体50の長さ方向51に対する物品横押し体70の往復移動は、好適な摺接摩擦が生じた状態で、ガタつきがなく、かつ姿勢(向き)を変化させることなく、常に安定して行える。さらに、舌片体80〜83群は、長さ方向51の一端側、すなわち相隣接側を連結部80a,81a,82a,83aとして形成されていることで、物品横押し体70の移動は、往復のいずれにおいても同等状の好適な摺接摩擦が生じた状態で行える。   At that time, the tongue piece bodies 80 to 83 provided on the front plate member 72, the rear plate member 73, and the upper bottom plate member 74 in the article laterally pressing body 70 are connected to the front plate portion 56, the bottom plate portion 57 in the article support body 50, The reciprocating movement of the article laterally pressing body 70 with respect to the length direction 51 of the article support 50 is performed by a suitable sliding contact friction by elastically contacting and slidingly contacting the outer surface side of the rear plate portion 58 and the rear bottom plate portion 59. In a state in which there is a flicker, there is no backlash and the posture (orientation) is not changed, so that it can always be performed stably. Furthermore, the tongue piece bodies 80 to 83 are formed with connecting portions 80a, 81a, 82a, and 83a on one end side in the length direction 51, that is, on the side adjacent to each other. In both reciprocations, it can be performed in a state where the same suitable sliding friction is generated.

すなわち、始端ガイド部91に案内されているガイドローラ89は、振り分け装置92が直線状振り分け姿勢のときに直進案内され、そしてガイド作用を受けない状態で直進したのち終端ガイド部94Bに案内されることになる。これにより物品横押し体70群は物品116に作用せず、この物品116は主搬送経路45上を直進状に搬送される。   That is, the guide roller 89 guided by the start end guide portion 91 is guided in a straight line when the distribution device 92 is in the linear distribution posture, and is guided in a straight line without receiving a guide action and then guided to the end guide portion 94B. It will be. As a result, the group of article laterally pressing bodies 70 does not act on the article 116, and the article 116 is conveyed in a straight line on the main conveyance path 45.

また、始端ガイド部91に案内されているガイドローラ89は、振り分け装置92が傾斜状振り分け姿勢のときに内側へ傾斜案内され、そして移動ガイド部93に案内されて一側へ移動されたのち、終端ガイド部94Aに案内される。これにより物品横押し体70群は、搬送方向に移動しながら主搬送経路45を横切ることになり、以て横押し作用面86aが当接部材87を介して物品116に横押し作用して、この物品116を分岐コンベヤ111に渡すことになる。このように分岐コンベヤ111に渡す際に、物品支持体50上の物品116は、上位フレーム材10に固定した上部カバー106の上方を乗り越え、そして段部13に位置している分岐コンベヤ111のローラ112に乗り移つる。   In addition, the guide roller 89 guided to the start end guide portion 91 is guided to be inclined inward when the distribution device 92 is in the inclined distribution posture, and after being guided to the moving guide portion 93 and moved to one side, Guided by the end guide 94A. As a result, the group of article laterally pressing bodies 70 traverses the main transport path 45 while moving in the transport direction, so that the laterally pushing action surface 86a acts on the article 116 via the contact member 87, and This article 116 is delivered to the branch conveyor 111. In this way, when passing to the branch conveyor 111, the article 116 on the article support 50 gets over the upper cover 106 fixed to the upper frame material 10 and is a roller of the branch conveyor 111 located at the step portion 13. Change to 112.
