Description of the Related Art In a conveying path for aligning and transporting a plurality of cylindrical can bodies having a bottom, a can body that is inadvertently turned down and mixed among can bodies arranged in a standing posture may be conveyed. In some cases, there may be a case where a can body whose top and bottom are reversed is mixed and conveyed. As a device for removing a can in a sideways posture such as the former from the transport path, for example,
What is seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-26903 is known. According to this type of apparatus, the traveling direction of the can body to be conveyed is changed and centrifugal force is applied to the can body. At this time, only the standing can body is restrained and guided, while Is released to the outside of the transport trajectory in an unrestricted state.

それがある。[0003] However, the can body having the inverted posture as the latter,
Since the container is transported in an upright state only by the upside down with respect to the can body having the normal posture, it is difficult to remove the can by the above-described device. And when the can body has an opening formed at one end and a closed bottom at the other end like a so-called two-piece can body, it is used in a cleaning device or a content filling device in a reversed posture. When inserted, the can body that should have been opened by the opening is closed by the bottom, so, for example, the nozzle that ejects the contents into the can body provided in the filling device has It may interfere with the bottom and cause damage.

てなることを特徴とする。According to the present invention, there is provided a cylindrical can body having an opening at one end and a closed bottom at the other end. A can body that is provided in the conveyance path and is mixed with a can body that is conveyed with a posture in which the opening of the can body is oriented in a predetermined direction as a normal posture, and that has a reversed rotation orientation in which the opening is oriented in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. In a can body removing device for removing from a road, a plurality of insertion projections are radially provided to be inserted into the opening opposite to the opening of the can body conveyed in the normal posture along the conveyance path, Rotate through the insertion convex portion in accordance with the movement of the can body conveyed in the above, the insertion convex portion abuts on the bottom of the can body conveyed in the inverted posture to stop the can body and stop the rotation. A disk, detecting means for detecting a stop of rotation of the rotary disk, and stopping by the rotary disk. The can body stopping means for stopping the can body following the can body in the inverted posture, the discharging means for discharging the can body in the reversed posture stopped by the rotating disk from the transport path, and the rotating disk by the detecting means. In response to the detection of the rotation stop, the control unit controls the can body stopping means to stop the can body following the can body in the reverse rotation posture, and controls the discharge means to remove the can body in the reverse rotation posture from the transport path. And control means.

転する。When the can body continuously conveyed along the conveyance path in a normal posture with the opening directed in a predetermined direction passes through a position provided with the turntable, the can is rotated to the opening of the can body. The insertion protrusion of the board enters. The can body continues to move, and the rotating disk is rotated by the insertion convex portion being pressed by the can body. As described above, the rotary disk is rotated by the movement of the can body while sequentially inserting the insertion protrusions into the respective openings of the can body that is continuously conveyed.

る。[0009] By stopping the rotation of the turntable,
It can be determined that the can body in the stopped state is in the reverse posture. For this reason, the can body in the reverse posture can be easily removed by discharging the can body in which the rotation of the turntable has been stopped by the discharging means. That is, the detection means detects the rotation stop of the turntable. In response, the control means controls the can body stopping means to stop the can body following the can body in the reverse posture. Then, the control unit controls the discharge unit to remove the can body in the reverse rotation posture from the transport path. Since the can body stopping means keeps subsequent can bodies in a stopped state until the can body in the reverse posture is eliminated, the discharge means can surely exclude only the can body in the reverse posture.

According to the discharging means, by opening the door provided below the transport path at this position by driving the door opening / closing means, the can body in the inverted posture falls downward by its own weight and is smoothly removed from the transport path. can do. Moreover, since the can body in the reverse rotation position can be eliminated only by opening the lower part of the transport path, the discharge means can be configured very simply.

ることができる。The control by the control means 38 is performed as follows. When the turntable 9 is stopped by the can body W in the inverted position, the stop of the turntable 9 is detected by the first detecting means 35, and the first can body stopping means 11 is operated by the control means 38, so that the can in the inverted position is actuated. The can body W following the body W is stopped. Next, the discharging means 10 is operated to remove the can body W in the reverse rotation posture from the transport path 2. The operation of the discharging means 10 will be described. In response to the detection of the stop of the turntable 9 by the first detection means 35, the control means 38 first moves the turntable 9 away from the transport path 2 by driving the cylinder 25. Move to As a result, the can body W in the reverse rotation posture is rotated by the rotating disk 9.
Will be lifted. At the same time, the door 19 is opened by driving the cylinder 22. As a result, the can body W in the inverted posture falls by its own weight through the opened door portion 19,
It is removed from the transport path 2. Thereafter, the door 19 is closed, and the removal of the can body W in the reverse rotation posture by the discharging means 10 is completed. At this time, the second can body stopping means 12 is operated, and the regulating member 33 projects to the transport path 2. Then, the stopping of the can W by the first can stopping means 11 is released. If the can body W that has been stopped is in the normal posture, it moves on the closed door 19 and is temporarily stopped and aligned by the second can body stopping means 12. Then, the second can body stopping means 12
The can body W, for which the restriction by the above is released, is transported along the transport path 2 to the downstream side thereof. In addition, even when the can body W is not transported along the transport path 2, the turntable 9 is stopped. At this time, the rotating disk 9 is detected by the first detecting means 35.
However, since the rotation stop at this time is not a stop by the can body W in the reverse rotation posture, the door 19 does not need to be opened. Therefore, the presence or absence of the can W is detected by the second detection means 36 and the third detection means 37, and the control of the discharge means 10 by the control means 38 is performed based on the detection result. That is, the second detecting means 36 and the third detecting means 3
7 does not detect the can body W, the discharging means 10 is not operated even if the rotating disk 9 is stopped. This can prevent the door 19 from being unnecessarily opened.

Although not shown, or if the insertion convex portion 13 is relatively short, a conveyance path 2 that conveys the attitude at the time of transportation of the can body W toward the opening W 1 upward, stopped by the rotary disc 9 When the fall of the can body is not prevented by the turntable 9 as in the case where the door portion 19 is provided at a position below the cut can body, the turntable 9
Need not be provided with a configuration that separates from the transport path 2.
