Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent other article from running on an article on a transfer part when the article is transferred from a first conveying part to a second conveying part.SOLUTION: An article E conveyed on a conveyer belt 6 of a first conveying part 2 so as to roll with respect to a conveyance longitudinal direction is transferred to a receiving plate 10 arranged on a transfer part 3. Four partitioning plates 8 which rotate around a shaft are arranged on the transfer part 3. The article E transferred to the receiving plate 10 is supported and rotates between the partitioning plate 8a and the partitioning plate 8b, and is transferred to a second conveying part 4. A rotation shaft of the transfer part 3 is set at an approximately same height as a height of a center of gravity of the article E. Therefore, when the rotation shaft rotates, the article E receives upward force from the partitioning plate 8a and is lifted approximately right above. Thus, the other article E adjacent to an upstream side of a conveying direction T is prevented from running on the article E on the transfer part 3.

Description

本発明は、移載装置を備える搬送装置に関し、特に、一のコンベア上を連続的に搬送される物品を一つずつ他のコンベア上へ移載する移載装置を備える搬送装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a transfer device including a transfer device, and more particularly to a transfer device including a transfer device that transfers articles that are continuously transferred on one conveyor to another conveyor one by one.

搬送面上を搬送の前後方向に固定せず物品を搬送するベルトコンベアから、搬送面上に所定の間隔で物品を搬送するローラーバーコンベアに物品を移載するには、同時に２つの物品がローラーバーコンベア上に載り移らないようにする必要がある。そのためには、移載装置がベルトコンベア上の物品を１つずつ移載しなければならない。このような移載を行う移載装置を備える搬送装置を開示した文献として、たとえば、特許文献１に記載の鶏卵の搬送装置がある。 In order to transfer an article from a belt conveyor that conveys an article without being fixed in the front-rear direction of the conveyance on the conveyance surface to a roller bar conveyor that conveys the article at a predetermined interval on the conveyance surface, two articles are simultaneously rolled. It is necessary not to get on the bar conveyor. For this purpose, the transfer device must transfer the articles on the belt conveyor one by one. As a document disclosing a transfer device including a transfer device that performs such transfer, for example, there is a chicken egg transfer device described in Patent Document 1.

鶏舎で産卵された鶏卵は、鶏卵を転動可能な状態で搬送する集卵コンベアによって所定の搬送方向へ搬送される。集卵コンベアによって搬送された鶏卵は、複数のローラ軸が、無限軌道を成す一対のコンベアチェーンの一方と他方とを繋ぐように取り付けられ、搬送方向に沿って等間隔に取り付けられたローラ軸の間で鶏卵を挟むように保持して搬送するローラーバーコンベアによって所定の搬送方向へ搬送される。 Eggs laid in the poultry house are transported in a predetermined transport direction by an egg collection conveyor that transports the eggs in a rollable state. Eggs transported by the egg-collecting conveyor are attached so that a plurality of roller shafts connect one and the other of a pair of conveyor chains forming an endless track, and are mounted at regular intervals along the transport direction. It is conveyed in a predetermined conveying direction by a roller bar conveyor that holds and conveys eggs so as to sandwich them.

集卵コンベアの搬送方向下流端には移載装置が設けられており、移載装置によって、集卵コンベアからローラーバーコンベアへ鶏卵が移載され、ローラーバーコンベアによって搬送される鶏卵は、ローラーバーコンベアの搬送方向下流端に設けられた充填装置によってアメリカントレイと称される容器に充填される。 A transfer device is provided at the downstream end of the conveying direction of the egg collection conveyor, and the eggs are transferred from the egg collection conveyor to the roller bar conveyor by the transfer device. A container called an American tray is filled by a filling device provided at the downstream end of the conveyor in the conveying direction.

特開昭６２−１０５８１６号公報JP-A-62-105816

特許文献１の搬送装置には、集卵コンベア上の鶏卵を一時的に留めるための回転ブラシが設けられている。この回転ブラシを移載装置の動作タイミングに合わせて間欠的に回転させることで搬送方向の下流へ鶏卵を一つずつ掃き送り、集卵コンベアの下流端に設けられた移載装置が鶏卵を１つずつローラーバーコンベアへ移載するように構成されている。 The transport device of Patent Document 1 is provided with a rotating brush for temporarily holding eggs on the egg collection conveyor. The rotating brush is intermittently rotated according to the operation timing of the transfer device to sweep the eggs one by one downstream in the transport direction, and the transfer device provided at the downstream end of the egg collection conveyor 1 It is comprised so that it may transfer to a roller bar conveyor one by one.

しかし、近年、搬送装置は、一時間あたりに搬送する鶏卵の個数が、１万個を超えるまでに高速化している。そのため、回転ブラシが、集卵コンベア上に鶏卵を一時的に留め、間欠的に移載装置へ掃き送っていると、集卵コンベア上に移載待ちの鶏卵が大量に溜まってしまうことがあった。 However, in recent years, the speed of the transfer device has been increased to the point where the number of eggs to be transferred per hour exceeds 10,000. Therefore, if the rotating brush temporarily holds the eggs on the egg collection conveyor and intermittently sweeps them to the transfer device, a large amount of eggs waiting to be transferred may accumulate on the egg collection conveyor. It was.

集卵コンベア上に鶏卵が大量に溜まってしまうと、集卵コンベア上の大量の鶏卵と集卵コンベアの搬送面との摩擦によって、回転ブラシに留められている鶏卵を搬送方向の下流へ押す圧力が生じる。鶏卵を搬送方向の下流へ押す圧力が、回転ブラシの鶏卵を集卵コンベア上に留める力を超えてしまうと、一度に２個以上の鶏卵が移載装置へ送られ、移載装置上の鶏卵に他の鶏卵が乗り上げてしまうという問題が発生する。 When a large amount of eggs accumulates on the egg collection conveyor, the pressure that pushes the eggs held by the rotating brush downstream in the conveyance direction due to friction between the large number of eggs on the egg collection conveyor and the conveying surface of the egg collection conveyor Occurs. If the pressure pushing the eggs downstream in the transport direction exceeds the force to hold the eggs of the rotating brush on the egg conveyor, two or more eggs are sent to the transfer device at a time, and the eggs on the transfer device Another problem is that other eggs will get on.

本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的は、移載装置上の物品に他の物品が乗り上げることを防止する搬送装置を提供することである。 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a transport device that prevents other articles from riding on the article on the transfer device.

以下、本発明に係る搬送装置の実施の形態について説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a transfer device according to the present invention will be described.

［構成］
本発明の実施の形態に係る搬送装置１は、図１〜図３に示すように、第１搬送部２、移載部３および第２搬送部４を備える。第１搬送部２は、鶏卵Ｅを搬送面上に固定せずに転動可能な状態で搬送方向Ｔに向かって搬送するコンベアである。本実施の形態では、第１搬送部２として搬送面上を搬送の前後方向に鶏卵Ｅを固定せず、転動可能に搬送することができるコンベアベルト６を用いている。第１搬送部２には、鶏卵Ｅを搬送するコンベアベルト６上に鶏卵Ｅの動きを規制する規制板５が設けられている。 [Constitution]
The conveyance apparatus 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is provided with the 1st conveyance part 2, the transfer part 3, and the 2nd conveyance part 4, as shown in FIGS. The 1st conveyance part 2 is a conveyor which conveys the egg E toward the conveyance direction T in the state which can be rolled, without fixing on the conveyance surface. In this Embodiment, the conveyor belt 6 which can be conveyed so that rolling is possible without fixing the egg E to the front-back direction of conveyance on the conveyance surface as the 1st conveyance part 2 is used. In the 1st conveyance part 2, the control board 5 which regulates the motion of the egg E is provided on the conveyor belt 6 which conveys the egg E. As shown in FIG.

図１および図２では、搬送装置１の要部を見やすくするため、第１搬送部２の搬送面の両側に設けられた規制板５のうち、手前側（搬送方向Ｔに向かって左側）の規制板５を省略し、二点鎖線で仮想的に描いている。規制板５は、鶏卵Ｅが搬送幅方向へ転動することを規制し、鶏卵Ｅを移載部３へ正確に送り込むために設けられている。 In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the front side (left side in the transport direction T) of the regulation plates 5 provided on both sides of the transport surface of the first transport unit 2 in order to make it easy to see the main part of the transport device 1. The restriction plate 5 is omitted, and the restriction plate 5 is virtually drawn with a two-dot chain line. The restriction plate 5 is provided to restrict the egg E from rolling in the conveyance width direction and to accurately feed the egg E to the transfer unit 3.

移載部３は、第１搬送部２の搬送方向Ｔの下流端と、第２搬送部４の搬送方向Ｔの上流端との間に設けられており、第１搬送部２から第２搬送部４へ物品を移載するための移載装置である。図３に示すように、移載部３は、第１搬送部２および第２搬送部４の搬送方向Ｔと水平に直交、すなわち、水平面にあって第２搬送部４の搬送方向Ｔと直交する軸部７を有している。なお、本実施の形態では、第１搬送部２および第２搬送部４が同じ搬送方向Ｔへ鶏卵Ｅを搬送しているが、これに限られず、別々の方向へ鶏卵Ｅを搬送してもよい。この場合、軸部７は第２搬送部４の搬送方向と水平に直交していればよい。 The transfer unit 3 is provided between the downstream end in the transport direction T of the first transport unit 2 and the upstream end in the transport direction T of the second transport unit 4, and is transferred from the first transport unit 2 to the second transport. 4 is a transfer device for transferring an article to the unit 4; As shown in FIG. 3, the transfer unit 3 is horizontally orthogonal to the transport direction T of the first transport unit 2 and the second transport unit 4, that is, in the horizontal plane and orthogonal to the transport direction T of the second transport unit 4. The shaft portion 7 is provided. In addition, in this Embodiment, although the 1st conveyance part 2 and the 2nd conveyance part 4 are conveying the egg E to the same conveyance direction T, it is not restricted to this, Even if it conveys the egg E to a separate direction Good. In this case, the shaft portion 7 only needs to be orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the second conveyance unit 4 in the horizontal direction.

本実施の形態では、軸部７は回動方向Ｒ（図３参照）に回動可能な状態で両端を支持されており、軸部７は、第１搬送部２が搬送する鶏卵Ｅの重心の高さ位置とほぼ同じ高さ位置に設けられている。軸部７は、第２搬送部４を駆動するためのモータ（図示せず）と駆動チェーンを介して接続させれており、第２搬送部４と同期して回動するように構成されている。 In the present embodiment, the shaft portion 7 is supported at both ends in a state of being rotatable in the rotation direction R (see FIG. 3), and the shaft portion 7 is the center of gravity of the egg E conveyed by the first conveyance unit 2. It is provided in the height position substantially the same as the height position. The shaft portion 7 is connected to a motor (not shown) for driving the second transport unit 4 via a drive chain, and is configured to rotate in synchronization with the second transport unit 4. Yes.

図３に示すように、軸部７の周りには、４枚の仕切板８が軸部７を中心に９０度の等角度間隔で軸部７に固定的に取り付けられている。二点鎖線で表されている仮想円柱９は、半径が軸部７と第１搬送部２の搬送面との差で示され、中心軸が軸部７で示される仮想的な円柱である。４枚の仕切板８は、仮想円柱９に接している。図３に示すように、４枚の仕切板８のうち、仕切板８ａと、仕切板８ｂとの間で鶏卵Ｅを支持するように構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, around the shaft portion 7, four partition plates 8 are fixedly attached to the shaft portion 7 with an equiangular interval of 90 degrees around the shaft portion 7. A virtual cylinder 9 represented by a two-dot chain line is a virtual cylinder whose radius is indicated by a difference between the shaft portion 7 and the transport surface of the first transport portion 2 and whose central axis is indicated by the shaft portion 7. The four partition plates 8 are in contact with the virtual cylinder 9. As shown in FIG. 3, among the four partition plates 8, the egg E is supported between the partition plate 8a and the partition plate 8b.

本実施の形態では、図１および図２に示すように、仕切板８が２つの小片で構成されている。これらの小片は板状の部材であるが、これに限られず、たとえば針金状の部材を数本用いて仮想的な板状部材を形成し、仕切板８を構成してもよい。また、図４に示すように、３枚の仕切板８を軸部７を中心に等角度間隔で取り付けてもよく、さらに５枚以上の仕切板８を軸部７を中心に等角度間隔で取り付けることもできる。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the partition plate 8 is composed of two small pieces. These small pieces are plate-like members, but are not limited thereto, and for example, a virtual plate-like member may be formed by using several wire-like members to constitute the partition plate 8. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, three partition plates 8 may be attached at equiangular intervals around the shaft portion 7, and five or more partition plates 8 may be attached at equiangular intervals around the shaft portion 7. It can also be attached.

移載部３には、第１搬送部２が搬送した鶏卵Ｅを受け取るための受け取り板１０と、第２搬送部４へ鶏卵Ｅを渡すための渡し板１１とが設けられている。受け取り板１０は、図３に示すように、第１搬送部２の搬送面とほぼ同じ高さで、かつ、図１に示すように、仕切板８を構成する２つの小片に挟まれる位置で搬送装置１の本体に固定されている。受け取り板１０は軸部７に接続されておらず、軸部７とともに回動しない。 The transfer unit 3 is provided with a receiving plate 10 for receiving the eggs E transported by the first transport unit 2 and a transfer plate 11 for passing the eggs E to the second transport unit 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the receiving plate 10 is substantially the same height as the transport surface of the first transport unit 2, and as shown in FIG. 1, at a position sandwiched between two small pieces constituting the partition plate 8. It is fixed to the main body of the transfer device 1. The receiving plate 10 is not connected to the shaft portion 7 and does not rotate together with the shaft portion 7.

渡し板１１は、図１に示すように、仕切板８を構成する２つの小片に挟まれる位置で搬送装置１の本体に固定されており、図３では、仕切板８ｃの背後に隠れているため、位置を矢印で示されている。渡し板１１も軸部７に接続されておらず、軸部７とともに回動しない。なお、渡し板１１は、第２搬送部４へ鶏卵Ｅを渡す位置に設けられるため、図４に示すように、仕切板８の枚数が３枚であっても渡し板１１の位置は変わらず、５枚以上であっても変わらない。 As shown in FIG. 1, the transfer plate 11 is fixed to the main body of the transport apparatus 1 at a position between two small pieces constituting the partition plate 8, and is hidden behind the partition plate 8c in FIG. Therefore, the position is indicated by an arrow. The transfer plate 11 is not connected to the shaft portion 7 and does not rotate together with the shaft portion 7. In addition, since the transfer plate 11 is provided in the position which transfers the egg E to the 2nd conveyance part 4, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the number of the partition plates 8 is three, the position of the transfer plate 11 does not change. Even if it is 5 or more, it does not change.

従来の移載装置に係る渡し板は、搬送方向の下流側へ下るように大きく傾けなければ鶏卵Ｅがうまく転がらなかったが、本実施の形態に係る渡し板１１は、仕切板８から搬送方向Ｔへ向かう力を受けるため、従来の移載装置の様に大きく傾ける必要がない。 Eggs E did not roll well unless the transfer plate according to the conventional transfer device is tilted so as to descend to the downstream side in the transport direction, but the transfer plate 11 according to the present embodiment is separated from the partition plate 8 in the transport direction. Since it receives a force toward T, it does not need to be tilted much like a conventional transfer device.

第２搬送部４は、両端側にフランジを有する糸ゴマ状の糸ゴマローラ１２が複数本設けられたローラーバーコンベアであり、糸ゴマローラ１２が、無限軌道を成す一対のコンベアチェーン１３の一方と他方とを繋ぐように取り付けられている。鶏卵Ｅは、図２および図３に示すように、搬送方向Ｔに沿って等間隔に取り付けられた２本の糸ゴマローラ１２によって挟むように保持された状態で搬送方向Ｔへ搬送される。糸ゴマローラ１２のフランジは、鶏卵Ｅの搬送幅方向へ動きを規制している。 The second transport unit 4 is a roller bar conveyor provided with a plurality of thread sesame-shaped thread sesame rollers 12 having flanges on both ends, and the thread sesame roller 12 is one end of a pair of conveyor chains 13 forming an endless track. It is attached to connect. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the egg E is transported in the transport direction T while being held by two thread sesame rollers 12 attached at equal intervals along the transport direction T. The flange of the thread sesame roller 12 regulates the movement in the conveyance width direction of the egg E.

本実施の形態では、搬送装置１は１列で鶏卵Ｅを搬送方向Ｔへ搬送しているが、搬送方向Ｔに沿って複数の搬送装置１を並列に並べてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the transport device 1 transports the eggs E in the transport direction T in one row, but a plurality of transport devices 1 may be arranged in parallel along the transport direction T.

また、本実施の形態では、４枚の仕切板８は、仮想円柱９に接しているが、これは直接的に接するだけでなく、たとえば、４枚の各仕切板８を湾曲させることで仮想円柱９と直接的には接しない状態であっても、仕切板８が鶏卵Ｅに接触する部分を延長すれば実質的に仮想円柱９と接する状態であればよい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the four partition plates 8 are in contact with the virtual cylinder 9, but this is not only in direct contact, but, for example, the four partition plates 8 are curved to be virtual. Even if it is in a state where it is not in direct contact with the cylinder 9, it may be in a state where it is substantially in contact with the virtual cylinder 9 as long as the part where the partition plate 8 contacts the egg E is extended.

さらに、本実施の形態では、図３に示すように、４枚の仕切板８のうち、仕切板８ａと、仕切板８ｂとの間で鶏卵Ｅを支持するように構成されているが、前述のように仕切板８が鶏卵Ｅに接触する部分を延長すれば実質的に仮想円柱９に接する状態では、２枚の仕切板８で支持することができない。この場合には、２枚の仕切板８の間に鶏卵Ｅを支持するための支持部材を別に設けてもよい。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the egg E is configured to be supported between the partition plate 8 a and the partition plate 8 b among the four partition plates 8. If the part where the partition plate 8 is in contact with the egg E is extended as described above, the partition plate 8 cannot be supported by the two partition plates 8 in a state where it substantially contacts the virtual cylinder 9. In this case, a support member for supporting the egg E may be provided between the two partition plates 8.

［動作］
次に、図１〜図４を用いて本実施の形態に係る搬送装置の動作について説明する。 [Operation]
Next, operation | movement of the conveying apparatus which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS.

鶏舎から搬送されてきた鶏卵Ｅは、第１搬送部２によって搬送方向Ｔへ運ばれる。第１搬送部２の下流端に到達した鶏卵Ｅは、下流端に設けられた移載部３の受け取り板１０に載り移る。 The egg E that has been transported from the poultry house is transported in the transport direction T by the first transport unit 2. The egg E that has reached the downstream end of the first transport unit 2 is transferred onto the receiving plate 10 of the transfer unit 3 provided at the downstream end.

図２に示すように、受け取り板１０に載り移った鶏卵Ｅは、受け取り板１０上を転がり、仕切板８ａと、仕切板８ｂとの間に挟まれた状態になる。鶏卵Ｅが、仕切板８ａと、仕切板８ｂとに挟まれる位置に来ると、センサ（図示せず）によって鶏卵Ｅの存在が検出される。センサによって鶏卵Ｅが検出されると、図３に示すように、移載部３は、軸部７を回動方向Ｒへ９０度回動させる。軸部７が９０度回動すると、軸部７に固定されている４枚の仕切板８が一緒に９０度回動する。 As shown in FIG. 2, the egg E that has been transferred to the receiving plate 10 rolls on the receiving plate 10 and is sandwiched between the partition plate 8a and the partition plate 8b. When the chicken egg E comes to a position between the partition plate 8a and the partition plate 8b, the presence of the chicken egg E is detected by a sensor (not shown). When the egg E is detected by the sensor, the transfer unit 3 rotates the shaft 7 in the rotation direction R by 90 degrees as shown in FIG. When the shaft portion 7 rotates 90 degrees, the four partition plates 8 fixed to the shaft portion 7 rotate 90 degrees together.

仕切板８が９０度回動すると、鶏卵Ｅも仕切板８ａと、仕切板８ｂとに支えられた状態で回動することになる。本実施の形態に係る移載部３は、軸部７が鶏卵Ｅの重心高さとほぼ同じ高さに設けられているため、仕切板８が回動を始めると、鶏卵Ｅは仕切板８ａから上向きの力を受けて、その重心がほぼ真上（矢印Ｖ方向）へ持ち上げられる。 When the partition plate 8 rotates 90 degrees, the egg E also rotates while being supported by the partition plate 8a and the partition plate 8b. In the transfer part 3 according to the present embodiment, since the shaft part 7 is provided at substantially the same height as the center of gravity of the egg E, when the partition plate 8 starts to rotate, the egg E is removed from the partition plate 8a. In response to the upward force, the center of gravity is lifted almost directly above (in the direction of arrow V).

第１搬送部２の搬送面上に溜まった鶏卵Ｅは、第１搬送部２のコンベアベルト６との摩擦力によって搬送方向Ｔへの圧力を受けている。従来の移載装置では軸部の高さが鶏卵Ｅの重心よりも低い位置にあるため、鶏卵Ｅを回動方向に沿って持ち上げてしまうため、１個の鶏卵Ｅを移載しようとしても圧力によって２個の鶏卵Ｅが同時に乗り上げてしまうことがあった。 The eggs E accumulated on the transport surface of the first transport unit 2 are subjected to pressure in the transport direction T by the frictional force with the conveyor belt 6 of the first transport unit 2. In the conventional transfer device, since the height of the shaft portion is lower than the center of gravity of the egg E, the egg E is lifted along the rotation direction, and therefore pressure is applied even if one egg E is transferred. Depending on the situation, two eggs E could get on at the same time.

本実施の形態に係る搬送装置１であれば、回動を始めてしばらくの間は鶏卵Ｅが、仕切板８ａによってほぼ真上（矢印Ｖ方向）に持ち上げられるため、搬送方向Ｔの上流側に隣接する別の鶏卵Ｅは、さらに上流側に位置する別の鶏卵Ｅから搬送方向Ｔへの圧力が加わっても移載部３上の鶏卵Ｅに乗り上げることなく、その場に留まる。 In the case of the transport apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the egg E is lifted almost directly (in the direction of the arrow V) by the partition plate 8a for a while after starting to rotate, so that it is adjacent to the upstream side in the transport direction T. The other egg E that remains is not moved onto the egg E on the transfer unit 3 and remains in place even if pressure in the transport direction T is applied from another egg E located further upstream.

軸部７が９０度回動すると、仕切板８ａは、図３の仕切板８ｂの位置まで移動し、仕切板８ｂは、図３の仕切板８ｃの位置まで移動している。鶏卵Ｅは、仕切板８ｂ（図３に示す仕切板８ｃの位置にある）および渡し板１１の上を転がりながら搬送方向Ｔへ移動する。 When the shaft portion 7 rotates 90 degrees, the partition plate 8a moves to the position of the partition plate 8b in FIG. 3, and the partition plate 8b moves to the position of the partition plate 8c in FIG. The eggs E move in the transport direction T while rolling on the partition plate 8b (at the position of the partition plate 8c shown in FIG. 3) and the transfer plate 11.

このとき、鶏卵Ｅは、仕切板８ａ（図３に示す仕切板８ｂの位置にある）から搬送方向Ｔへ向かう力を受けるため、従来の移載装置の様に、渡し板１１を搬送方向Ｔの下流側へ下るように大きく傾けなくとも第２搬送部４へ載り移ることができる。 At this time, the egg E receives a force in the transport direction T from the partition plate 8a (at the position of the partition plate 8b shown in FIG. 3), so that the transfer plate 11 is moved in the transport direction T like a conventional transfer device. It is possible to transfer to the second transport unit 4 without tilting so as to descend to the downstream side.

軸部７が９０度回動すると、仕切板８ｄは図３の仕切板８ａの位置まで移動し、搬送方向Ｔの上流側に位置する別の鶏卵Ｅを同様に回動させる。 When the shaft portion 7 rotates 90 degrees, the partition plate 8d moves to the position of the partition plate 8a in FIG. 3 and similarly rotates another egg E positioned on the upstream side in the transport direction T.

また、図４に示すように、移載部３が３枚の仕切板８で構成されている場合も仕切板８ｅに載り移った鶏卵Ｅは、仕切板８ｆ上を転がり、仕切板８ｅと、仕切板８ｆとの間に挟まれた状態になる。鶏卵Ｅが、仕切板８ａと、仕切板８ｂとに挟まれる位置に来ると、センサ（図示せず）によって鶏卵Ｅの存在が検出される。センサによって鶏卵Ｅが検出されると、移載部３は、軸部７を回動方向Ｒへ１２０度回動させる。軸部７が１２０度回動すると、軸部７に固定されている３枚の仕切板８が一緒に回動する。 Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, even when the transfer part 3 is composed of three partition plates 8, the egg E that has been transferred to the partition plate 8e rolls on the partition plate 8f, and the partition plate 8e, It is in a state of being sandwiched between the partition plate 8f. When the chicken egg E comes to a position between the partition plate 8a and the partition plate 8b, the presence of the chicken egg E is detected by a sensor (not shown). When the egg E is detected by the sensor, the transfer unit 3 rotates the shaft unit 7 in the rotation direction R by 120 degrees. When the shaft portion 7 rotates 120 degrees, the three partition plates 8 fixed to the shaft portion 7 rotate together.

仕切板８が１２０度回動すると、鶏卵Ｅも仕切板８ｅと、仕切板８ｆとに支えられた状態で回動することになる。軸部７が１２０度回動すると、仕切板８ｅは、図３の仕切板８ｆの位置まで移動し、仕切板８ｆは、図３の仕切板８ｇの位置まで移動する。鶏卵Ｅは、仕切板８ｆから渡し板１１へ載り移り、渡し板１１の上を転がりながら搬送方向Ｔへ移動する。 When the partition plate 8 is rotated 120 degrees, the egg E is also rotated while being supported by the partition plate 8e and the partition plate 8f. When the shaft portion 7 rotates 120 degrees, the partition plate 8e moves to the position of the partition plate 8f in FIG. 3, and the partition plate 8f moves to the position of the partition plate 8g in FIG. The chicken egg E is transferred from the partition plate 8f to the transfer plate 11, and moves in the transport direction T while rolling on the transfer plate 11.

第２搬送部４に載り移った鶏卵Ｅは、２つの糸ゴマローラに挟まれるように保持され、搬送方向Ｔへ搬送される。搬送方向Ｔの下流側には従来知られた充填装置（図示せず）が設けられており、鶏卵Ｅは充填装置によってアメリカントレイなどの容器に充填される。 The egg E transferred to the second transport unit 4 is held so as to be sandwiched between two thread sesame rollers and transported in the transport direction T. A conventionally known filling device (not shown) is provided on the downstream side in the transport direction T, and the eggs E are filled into a container such as an American tray by the filling device.

〔効果〕
本実施の形態に係る搬送装置によれば、第１搬送部２のコンベアベルト６と、コンベアベルト６上に大量に留まる鶏卵Ｅとの間に生じる摩擦力によって、それらの鶏卵Ｅに搬送方向Ｔへの圧力が加わっていても移載部３上の鶏卵Ｅに別の鶏卵Ｅが乗り上げるという問題をなくせる。 〔effect〕
According to the transport device according to the present embodiment, the frictional force generated between the conveyor belt 6 of the first transport unit 2 and the eggs E that remain in a large amount on the conveyor belt 6 causes the eggs E to move in the transport direction T. Even if pressure is applied, the problem that another egg E rides on the egg E on the transfer unit 3 can be eliminated.

また、移載部３から第２搬送部４へ鶏卵Ｅを渡すときに、仕切板８から第２搬送部４の搬送方向Ｔへの力が加わるので、従来のように渡し板１１を第２搬送部４へ下るように大きく傾ける必要がなくなり、鶏卵Ｅを第２搬送部４へ受け渡す時の衝撃を減少させることができる。 Further, when the egg E is transferred from the transfer unit 3 to the second transfer unit 4, a force in the transfer direction T of the second transfer unit 4 is applied from the partition plate 8, so that the transfer plate 11 is moved to the second transfer plate 11 as in the prior art. It is no longer necessary to incline so as to descend to the transport unit 4, and the impact when the egg E is transferred to the second transport unit 4 can be reduced.

本実施の形態では、移載部３にセンサ（図示せず）を設け、移載部３の受け取り板１０に鶏卵Ｅが存在するときだけ軸部７を間欠的に回動させるので、第２搬送部４の糸ゴマローラ１２同士の間に隙間なく鶏卵Ｅを移載することができるが、第２搬送部４上に隙間なく鶏卵Ｅを移載する必要がないグレーダーなどに用いられる搬送装置であれば、連続的に軸部７を回動させることもできる。 In the present embodiment, the transfer unit 3 is provided with a sensor (not shown), and the shaft unit 7 is intermittently rotated only when the egg E exists on the receiving plate 10 of the transfer unit 3. A transfer device used for a grader or the like that can transfer eggs E without gaps between the yarn sesame rollers 12 of the transfer unit 4 but does not need to transfer the eggs E on the second transfer unit 4 without any gaps. If there is, the shaft portion 7 can be continuously rotated.

なお、本発明に係る搬送装置は、鶏卵の搬送装置だけでなく、ベルトコンベアのように搬送面上に物品を固定しない搬送部から、一つずつ他の搬送部へ物品を移載する必要がある搬送装置に用いることができる。 In addition, the conveyance apparatus which concerns on this invention needs to transfer an article | item to another conveyance part one by one from the conveyance part which does not fix an article | item on a conveyance surface like a belt conveyor as well as an egg egg conveyance apparatus.
