る。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a bowl-type feeder mainly using a vibrating type component feeder has been used. However, the amount of parts to be supplied that can be put into a bowl is limited, and the parts are supplied unattended for a long time. In order to do this, an additional hopper had to be used. In order to solve this drawback, combine the inclined belt conveyor and the belt conveyor that runs horizontally,
Some parts have been used in which parts to be supplied are drawn up by an inclined belt conveyor, transferred onto a belt conveyor that travels horizontally, and the parts to be supplied are arranged in one direction on the belt conveyor. In this method, when the parts to be supplied that are pumped are continuously massed on a horizontal conveyor, and the parts to be supplied are lined up in order to align them, all the masses are removed and the supplied parts in a normal posture are removed. Parts could not be supplied in large quantities. Showa 61 filed by the applicant first
In the feeder described in Japanese Patent Application No. 62200, a transfer conveyor is arranged between a pumping conveyor and a horizontal alignment conveyor to prevent clumping, and the transfer conveyor is run faster than the pumping conveyor. An attempt was made to prevent the supplied parts from moving as a lump and moving to the aligned conveyor by running the reordering conveyor faster than the transfer conveyor. , It was impossible to release the mass of the supplied parts. Attempts are made to separate parts to be supplied by making the downstream belt conveyor faster than the upstream belt conveyor in a cascade-connected belt conveyor (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 91/1984.
No. 318), but it was not possible to separate the parts to be supplied which were transferred as a lump continuously. The replenishing apparatus described in the refilling method and apparatus of the Japanese Patent Application No. 295509 previously filed by the applicant replenishes the supplied parts intermittently. It is the present invention that it is possible to replenish the paper to a regular conveyor and supply the paper in a uniform manner.

ものである。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a part to be supplied is separated and run on a conveyer, and a part to be supplied is sorted and discharged by a sorting device, and the part to be supplied is incorrectly placed. However, if the parts to be supplied are not separated one by one at the time of sorting, the supplied parts in a lump are determined to be in an incorrect posture, and The part to be supplied in the normal position is also removed, which not only reduces the supply of the part to be supplied in the normal position, but also causes a malfunction in the selection. Must be separated one by one. The same applies to counting. Therefore, the problem to be solved is how to place the parts to be supplied separately on a regular conveyor. The replenishing apparatus described in the refilling method and apparatus of the Japanese Patent Application No. 295509, filed by the applicant earlier, utilizes the feature that a part to be supplied can be replenished intermittently by a substantially constant amount, and is replenished once. The problem is solved by running the supplied parts in a line on a conveyer, running away from the position where the supplied parts are supplied, and then supplying the next supplied parts.

The drive pulleys 22 and 24 of the replenishing device are driven by an electric motor (not shown), and the belt 101 of the alignment belt conveyor is driven by another electric motor (not shown). Drive pulley 22 of replenishing device
And 24 rotate, the two chains 2 wound thereon move synchronously, and the free rollers 4 and 40 attached to the chain 2 via the support members 43 and 44 move together with the chains 2. Since the free roller 4 moves above the substrate 7 and below the flexible band 3 from the rear end to the front end of the substrate 7, the band 3 is locally pushed up and a wave is generated from the rear end to the front end. proceed. The parts to be supplied are put on the strip 3. The parts to be supplied that are partially piled up are lifted up by the waves generated by the band 3, shaken back and forth, and averaged. When the amount of the supplied component in front of the wave generated by the free roller 4 is equal to or less than the fixed amount, the supplied component is pushed by the wave and sent to the transfer plate 110. The free roller 4 arriving at the tip of the substrate 7 pushes the sliding member 5 slidably in the elongated hole 52 forward, and passes between the sliding member 5 and the front end of the substrate 7 to turn to the lower side of the base material 1. And moves to the rear end of the substrate 1 and returns to the upper side of the substrate 1 at the rear end of the substrate 1. The component to be supplied riding on the transfer plate 110 slides on the transfer plate 110 along a groove provided on the surface of the transfer plate 110 and falls onto the alignment belt 101. The component to be supplied at the position indicated by 151 in FIG. 4 has a long distance to slide down on the transfer plate 110 and takes a long time to reach the alignment belt 101. The part to be supplied at the position 155 has a short distance to slide down on the transfer plate 110,

5 is a wave supplied from the replenishing device at the same time, the supplied component 155 falls first on the alignment belt 101, and then the supplied component 153 falls, and the supplied component 155 is dropped.
Falls on the alignment belt 101 with the longest delay. The supplied component dropped from 155 follows the path of 156,
The supplied component that has fallen from 153 follows the path of 154,
The supplied component dropped from 1 travels downstream along the guide wall 121 along the route of 152. Transfer board 11
After the parts to be supplied that have fallen from 0 to the sorting belt 101 are carried away from the drop position by the sorting belt 101, the parts to be supplied by the next wave are pushed out of the replenishing apparatus to the transfer plate 110 by the replenishing apparatus. If the frequency of wave generation is adjusted, the parts to be supplied will always be 15
The vehicle travels in the order of 6, 154 and 152. A guide wall 122 provided downstream of the guide wall 121 narrows the width of a traveling path on which a supplied component can travel, and allows only one supplied component to pass therethrough. It falls to 141 and is separated into only one piece. Accordingly, the supplied components travel in a single row along the guide wall 122 without overlapping or entanglement with each other, reach the alignment mechanism 131, and the correctness of the posture of the supplied components is selected. If it is, it is discharged from the exit runway 102 constituted by the guide wall 123. If the supplied component is in an incorrect position, the return means 1

The guide wall 123 is provided with a sorting mechanism 131 using a combination of an electronic sensor and an air jet, and a sorting mechanism 131 using a mechanical sorting unit such as a side-by-side approach. A recirculation conveyor 142 is installed so as to face the alignment mechanism 131 so as to cross the alignment belt 101 and the supply device. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the device shown in FIG. Since the free roller 4 is driven to generate a wave of the band 3, the supplied parts put on the band 3 are sent out to the transfer plate 111 almost every fixed amount. The parts to be supplied, which have been pushed out once by the waves from the transfer plate 111, fall onto the running path 104 of the alignment belt, and are conveyed to the alignment mechanism 131 by the alignment belt. In FIG. 6, the supplied component 165 that falls from the transfer plate 111 to the running path 104 of the alignment belt.
Follows the path 166 linearly after dropping, and the alignment mechanism 13
1 and the supplied parts 161 are moved along the running path 10 of the alignment belt.
After falling to 4, follow the path of 162 and guide walls 124 and 1
The supplied parts are conveyed to the alignment mechanism 131 along the alignment belt 25 and the alignment belt 101 is guided by the guide walls 124 and 125.
, And the time taken to reach the alignment mechanism 131 after dropping becomes longer because the speed conveyed by the alignment belt 101 decreases, and the supplied parts indicated by 163 move to the alignment belt runway 104. After the fall, the guide wall 12 travels linearly and hits the guide wall 125 as shown in the path 164.
5 is skewed on the alignment belt 101 along the alignment mechanism 13.
Since the number reaches 1, it reaches the alignment mechanism 131 earlier than the 161 supplied parts and later than the 165 supplied parts. Accordingly, the supplied components extruded by one wave dropped from the transfer plate 111 reach the sorting mechanism 131 in one row. After the parts to be supplied extruded by one wave are lined up and carried away from the drop position by the aligning belt 101, the wave of the replenishing device is set so that the parts to be supplied by the next wave fall to the aligning belt 101. Is adjusted in relation to the speed of the alignment belt 101. Before the supplied parts reach the sorting mechanism 131, the width of the runway is made to be a width such that only one supplied part can pass through the guide wall. So alignment mechanism 1
Parts to be supplied reaching 31 are separated into one piece without being clumped and sent sequentially. The position of the supplied component that has reached the alignment mechanism 131 is selected, and the supplied component 171 in the normal position is guided by the guide wall 123 and discharged from the discharge port 102.
The component to be supplied in the wrong posture falls on the recirculation conveyor 142 and is recirculated to the replenishing device by the walls 151 and 152 as shown in a path 172. In this method, a large number of parts to be supplied are stored on a recirculation conveyor, and an appropriate amount of parts to be supplied is stored in a replenishing device, whereby the amount of replenishment from the replenishing device to the reordering conveyor is made uniform, thereby improving the efficiency of reordering. Can be increased.

発明の主旨を変えるものではない。FIG. 7 shows the arrangement of the replenishing device and the sorting conveyor in parallel to save the installation space. A chute 112 is provided below the sliding member 5 at the opening of the replenishing device in such a manner as to go downhill toward the alignment belt 101 at a right angle or near a right angle with the replenishing device.
The alignment belt 101 is arranged below the. The alignment belt 1
Guide walls 125, 122, 123 are fixed via members (not shown) immediately above 01, and an alignment mechanism 131 is attached to the guide wall 122 on the downstream side of the guide wall 122. The guide wall 125 is installed so as to narrow the width of the runway on the aligning conveyor from the portion where the supplied component falls from the chute 112 toward the aligning section 131, and the portion parallel to the guide wall 122 from the guide wall 125 is sharp. You will bend to The width of the running path of the alignment belt 101 is set to a width that allows only one supplied component to pass through the guide wall 122. A reflux member 145 is provided between the guide wall 122 and the replenishing device in front of the alignment mechanism 131. An opening is provided in the outer wall 61 of the replenishing device to take in a supplied component that slides on the reflux member. The parts to be supplied supplied to the replenishing device are dropped on the chute 112 in a horizontal line by the waves of the flexible band 3 generated by the wave generating mechanism 4. The supplied components 182 that have fallen fall vertically on the chute 112 in a line in a row, and sequentially fall on the alignment belt 101. Accordingly, the supplied components 183 that have fallen on the alignment belt 101 travel in a line substantially sequentially and are sequentially moved by the guide wall 125.
