Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、砂糖やキャンデー等を小袋包装したもの、レトルト食品入りパウチ等の被包装体や、その他形状が不定のも等のように、ランダムに供給される被搬送体を、前工程の装置と直結連動する必要なしに、周知の集積包装機にて自動に集積包装を可能にした被搬送体の集積供給装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来、砂糖やキャンデー等をフィルム等で小袋包装してなる被搬送体としての被包装体を、所定個数集積して集積包装する場合、一旦、所謂” 押せ押せ” 状態にプールすると、包装袋の形状が変化して1個づつの分離供給が困難なため、前工程の装置(小袋用包装機)と直結し、特殊な集積供給装置を用いて集積包装機と連動させるか、又は、人手により集積して供給する必要があった。
【0003】
特に、レトルト食品入りのパウチ1は、図5に示す前工程での殺菌処理工程や金属検査工程を経た後に、個々にランダムに後工程の搬送装置50に搬送され、該搬送装置50上で” 押せ押せ” 状態にプールすると、重なりあってピッチが不定となり、複数個を自動集積包装することは困難であった。
【0004】
これに対して、被搬送体が固体状のもの(例えば、被収容物が剛性を有する箱等のケースに収容された場合)であれば、変形し難いため、” 押せ押せ” 状態にプール可能となり、所定個数を取り出して自動集積包装を容易に行うことができる。
【0005】
本発明は、上記の如き従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、被搬送体が小包装された包装体等の変形しやすいものであっても、被搬送体を一旦、剛性を有するバケットに集積することにより、変形し難い被搬送体と同様に取り扱えるようにして、前工程の装置と直結連動する必要がなく、周知の集積包装装置を使用して集積包装ができるようにすることを課題とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するために、被搬送体の集積供給装置としてなされたもので、その特徴は、被搬送体1を個々に搬送する搬送装置2と、前記搬送装置2から供給された被搬送体1を所定の速度に加減速する搬送装置3と、所定個数の被搬送体1を受け取るバケット5と、該バケット5を滑り接触により搬送可能な搬送手段20と、前記バケット5を被搬送体1の受取位置Aで解除自在に停止させる第一定位置停止手段9と、バケット5A内の所定個数の被搬送体1を供給コンベヤ8に供給すべく、該バケット5Aを排出位置Bで解除自在に停止させる第二定位置停止手段10と、搬送手段20の上流側及び下流側で、それぞれバケット5Aに係合して該バケット5Aを反転させる上流側反転手段12及び下流側反転手段11と、を備え、
前記搬送手段20は、転動する無端状の搬送ベルトからなり、前記第一定位置停止手段9及び第二定位置停止手段10は、前記搬送ベルト20の上ベルト部20aと下ベルト部20bの間に設けられ、それぞれ前記バケット5Aに設けられて前記搬送手段20の裏面を転動するローラ22に係合する上下に揺動自在なフック体24,28を備えることにある。
【0007】
そして、搬送装置3により、所定速度で搬送される被搬送体1は個々に受取位置Aにあるバケット5に供給される。このとき、バケット5は、搬送手段20との間で滑り接触しているので、搬送手段20はバケット5の相対移動を許容する。
【0008】
更に、第一定位置停止手段9は、バケット5に所定個数の被搬送体1が受け渡されると、バケット5の停止を解除するため、該バケット5は、搬送手段20との摩擦抵抗により該搬送手段20により搬送される。
【0009】
複数個の被搬送体1を収容するバケット5が、排出位置Bに到達すると、第二定位置停止手段10は、そのバケット5を停止させるため、該バケット5内の被搬送体1を供給コンベヤ8に自動供給することができる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施の形態を図面に従って説明する。
図1〜図4は、本発明の一実施の形態を示し、本発明の集積供給装置は、” 押せ押せ” 状態にプールできない被搬送体1が前工程からランダムに供給されるようになっている。
【0011】
前記被搬送体1とは、砂糖やキャンデー等の顆粒体、粉体又は小物品1aを小袋包装したもの(図4(イ)参照)、薄い被包装物を包装した包装体(図4(ロ)参照)又はレトルト食品入りパウチ等の包装体(図4(ハ)参照)やその他形状が不定のものが挙げられる。また、前工程とは、例えば前記被包装物がキャンデー等を小袋用包装機で包装したり、レトルト食品等をパウチ包装する工程(殺菌処理工程や金属検査工程を含む。)をいう。
【0012】
前記被搬送体1を搬送する搬送装置2(ベルトコンベヤ等)は、前工程の小袋用包装機械等より高速度で運転されている。従って、かかる搬送装置2は、小袋用包装機械等から供給される各被搬送体1を、適度な間隔をもって加減速搬送装置3に送ることができる。加減速搬送装置3は、各被搬送体1を所定の速度で搬送できるように、減速又は増速させることができるものである。
【0013】
加減速搬送装置3の下流位置となる端部には、該加減速搬送装置3の被搬送体1の搬送方向と直交方向に複数のバケット5を搬送する搬送装置6が設けられている。搬送装置6は、搬送手段としての例えば無端体の搬送ベルト20が一対のプーリ21a,21bに循環回転自在に巻き掛けられたものである。尚、搬送ベルト20とは、例えば合成樹脂からなるベルト部材を複数連結させたものが挙げられる。
【0014】
各バケット5は、前記搬送ベルト20の表面に摺動自在に接触する底壁部5aと、前後壁部5b,5cとを備え、両側面及び上面が開口されている。前記底壁部5aの両側には、底壁部5aとで搬送ベルト20を挟持するように、搬送ベルト20の裏面を転動する係止手段としてのローラ22が設けられている。尚、各バケット5は、搬送ベルト20に固定されておらず、底壁部5aによる滑り接触又は、各ローラ22による転がり接触により保持されている。
【0015】
搬送ベルト20の上ベルト部20aと下ベルト部20bとの間には、各バケット5を加減速搬送装置3の下流端部の所定位置(受取位置)Aで解除自在に停止保持するための第一定位置停止手段9が設けられている。第一定位置停止手段9は、フック体24が、各バケット5のローラ22の下流側に解除自在に係合するように、支点25を中心にして上下方向に揺動自在に設けられたものである。
【0016】
前記定位置停止手段9の下流位置には、バケット5を供給コンベア装置8に供給する排出位置Bで停止保持する第二定位置停止手段10が設けられている。かかる定位置停止手段10も、前記第一定位置停止手段9と同様に支点27を中心にして上下方向に揺動自在に設けられたフック体28を備えている。
【0017】
また、前記各プーリ21a,21bには、各バケット5のローラ22に後方から係合してバケット5を反転させる上流側反転手段12及び下流側反転手段11が、それぞれのプーリ21a,21bと共に一体回転するように設けられている。
【0018】
尚、13は加減速搬送装置3からバケット5に投入される被包装物1を検出するための検出センサである。14は排出位置Bにおいて、所定の集積個数の被搬送体1が投入されるバケット(実バケット)5Aに” 押せ押せ” 状態に当接するバケット5の所定個数を検出ためのプール量最小検出センサである。
【0019】
次に、前記集積供給装置の動作について説明する。
先ず、前工程で処理された被搬送体1が、搬送装置2にランダムに供給される。該搬送装置2は、前工程より速い速度で運転されていることから、適度な間隔で被搬送体1を個々に加減速搬送装置3に送る。
【0020】
前記加減速搬送装置3の下流端部の受取位置Aにおいて、バケット5が第一定位置停止手段9により停止保持されている。バケット5は搬送装置6の搬送ベルト20に固定されておらず、滑り又は、転がり接触するように保持されているため、搬送ベルト20の上ベルト部20aは、停止しているバケット5の底壁部5aを摺動しながら循環回転している。かかるバケット5の停止時に、被搬送体1は、加減速搬送装置3により、バケット5内に高速度で投入供給される。
【0021】
所定の集積個数の被搬送体1が投入されると、第一定位置停止手段9は、そのフック体24が下方に揺動してバケット5のローラ22の係合を解除するため、実バケット5Aを開放する。実バケット5Aは、搬送装置6のベルトとの接触による摩擦抵抗により前進搬送される。尚、該実バケット5Aの両側から被搬送体1が不用意に脱落しないように、搬送装置6側にガイド体(図示省略)等を設けるのが好ましい。
【0022】
前記実バケット5Aが搬送されると同時に、前記実バケット5Aに当接して停止していた次の空バケット5も摩擦抵抗により前進し、第一定位置停止手段9のフック体24が上方に揺動してそのバケット5のローラ22に係合するため、次の空バケット5を受取位置Aで停止保持する。
【0023】
尚、被搬送体1の所定集積個数は、検出センサ13により検出、積算される。最終個数が検出されると、加減速搬送装置3は、減速運転状態になり、実バケット5Aが通過し、次の空バケット5が受取位置Aに到着するまでの間、次の被搬送体1を投入しないよう保持している。
【0024】
次の集積個数1個目の被搬送体1が検出センサ13により検出されると、加減速搬送装置3は加速運転状態になり、以下、同様に被搬送体1の空バケット5への供給が繰り返されることとなる。
【0025】
実バケット5Aは、排出位置Bで第二定位置停止手段10により停止保持される。更に、必要最小個数の実バケット5Aが、” 押せ押せ” 状態にプールされると、プール量最小検出センサ14により、最後部の実バケット5Aを検出する。プール量最小検出センサ14の信号により、集積包装機の供給コンベヤ8が起動し、同時に投入装置7(プッシャー、オーバーヘッドコンベヤ等)が作動し、実バケット5A内の複数の被搬送体1(集積品4)を取り出して、供給コンベヤ8へ投入する。
【0026】
集積品4を取り出されて空になったバケット5は、第二定位置停止手段10の係合が解除されて開放され、搬送装置6により再び前進する。同時に次の実バケット5Aも前進し、次の実バケット5Aは第二定位置停止手段10により排出位置Bに停止保持される。
【0027】
空になったバケット5は、下流側反転手段11がローラ22に係合するため、搬送コンベア20の下部ベルト部20bへ移動し、更に、上流側の反転手段12により上部ベルト部20aへ移動し、空バケット5として循環し、受取位置Aの手前で” 押せ押せ” 状態にプールされる。以上により、自動集積動状態が連続される。
【0028】
本実施の形態の集積供給装置により、形状が不定な被搬送体等の” 押せ押せ” 状態にプールすることが困難な被搬送体1でも、一旦、バケット5に集積することにより、固体状の被搬送体と同様に取り扱えるので、前工程の装置(小袋用包装機)と直結連動の必要なく、通常の集積包装機を用いて集積包装が可能となった。
【0029】
本発明は上記実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば、バケットの形状及び大きさは特に限定されるものではなく、被搬送体の種類や収容される個数により適宜決定可能である。
【0030】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、以上のように構成したので、形状が不定な被搬送体等のように” 押せ押せ” 状態にプールすることが困難な被搬送体であっても、これら複数の被搬送体を、一旦、バケット5に集積することにより、固体状の被搬送体と同様に取り扱えることとなる。この結果、前工程の装置と直結連動の必要なく、通常の集積包装機を用いて自動的に効率の良い集積包装が可能となり、一連の包装工程のラインに要するコストを安くできる利点がある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a device for pre-processing, such as a package of sugar or candy packed in a small bag, a packaged object such as a pouch containing a retort food, or another object to be randomly supplied, such as an undefined shape. The present invention relates to a stacking and feeding apparatus for a transported body that can be stacked and packed automatically by a well-known stacking and packaging machine without having to be directly coupled to the transporting apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, when a predetermined number of packages to be transported, which are formed by packing sugar or candy in a small bag with a film or the like, is accumulated and packed, once the pool is placed in a so-called “press and hold” state, Because it is difficult to separate and supply one by one due to changes in shape, it is directly connected to the previous process device (packaging machine for small bags) and linked with the integrated packaging machine using a special integrated supply device, or by hand It was necessary to collect and supply.
[0003]
In particular, the pouch 1 containing retort food is individually and randomly transported to the transport device 50 in the subsequent process after passing through the sterilization treatment process and the metal inspection process in the previous process shown in FIG. When pooled in the “press and press” state, they overlap and the pitch becomes indeterminate, making it difficult to automatically pack a plurality.
[0004]
On the other hand, if the object to be transported is solid (for example, when the object to be stored is housed in a case such as a rigid box), it is difficult to deform, so it can be pooled in the “press and hold” state. Thus, automatic collection and packaging can be easily performed by taking out a predetermined number.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the conventional problems as described above, and even if the transported body is easily deformed, such as a small packaged package, the transported body is once a rigid bucket. It is possible to handle in the same way as a to-be-conveyed object that is difficult to be deformed, so that it is not necessary to link directly to the previous process device, and it is possible to perform integrated packaging using a known integrated packaging device. Let it be an issue.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention has been made as an apparatus for collecting and supplying a body to be transported. The feature of the present invention is that a transport apparatus 2 that individually transports the transported body 1 and the transport apparatus 2 supply it. A transport device 3 that accelerates or decelerates the transported body 1 to a predetermined speed, a bucket 5 that receives a predetermined number of transported bodies 1, transport means 20 that can transport the bucket 5 by sliding contact, and the bucket 5 The first fixed position stop means 9 for releasably stopping at the receiving position A of the transported body 1 and the bucket 5A at the discharge position B in order to supply a predetermined number of transported bodies 1 in the bucket 5A to the supply conveyor 8. The second fixed position stop means 10 that is releasably stopped at the first position, the upstream inversion means 12 that engages with the bucket 5A and inverts the bucket 5A on the upstream side and the downstream side of the transport means 20, respectively, and the downstream inversion means. 11 and For example,
The conveying means 20 is composed of an endless conveying belt that rolls, and the first fixed position stopping means 9 and the second fixed position stopping means 10 are formed by an upper belt portion 20a and a lower belt portion 20b of the conveying belt 20, respectively. It is provided with hook bodies 24 and 28 which are provided in the middle and which are respectively provided on the bucket 5A and engage with a roller 22 which rolls on the back surface of the conveying means 20 and can swing up and down .
[0007]
And the to-be-conveyed body 1 conveyed by the predetermined speed by the conveying apparatus 3 is supplied to the bucket 5 in the receiving position A individually. At this time, since the bucket 5 is in sliding contact with the transporting unit 20, the transporting unit 20 allows the relative movement of the bucket 5.
[0008]
Furthermore, the first fixed position stop means 9 releases the stop of the bucket 5 when a predetermined number of the transported bodies 1 are delivered to the bucket 5, so that the bucket 5 is subjected to friction resistance with the transport means 20. It is transported by the transport means 20.
[0009]
When the bucket 5 that accommodates the plurality of transported bodies 1 reaches the discharge position B, the second fixed position stop means 10 stops the bucket 5 so that the transported body 1 in the bucket 5 is fed to the supply conveyor. 8 can be automatically supplied.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the integrated supply device of the present invention, the transported bodies 1 that cannot be pooled in the “press and press” state are randomly supplied from the previous process. Yes.
[0011]
The transported body 1 includes a granular body such as sugar or candy, a powder or a small article 1a packaged (see FIG. 4 (a)), and a packaged body wrapped with a thin package (FIG. 4 (b)). )) Or a packaging body such as a pouch containing retort food (see FIG. 4 (c)) and other indefinite shapes. In addition, the pre-process refers to a process (including a sterilization process and a metal inspection process) in which the article to be packaged wraps candy or the like with a sachet packaging machine or pouch-wraps retort food or the like.
[0012]
A transport device 2 (a belt conveyor or the like) for transporting the transported body 1 is operated at a higher speed than a sachet packaging machine or the like in the previous process. Accordingly, the transport device 2 can send each transported body 1 supplied from a sachet packaging machine or the like to the acceleration / deceleration transport device 3 at an appropriate interval. The acceleration / deceleration transport device 3 can decelerate or increase the speed so that each transported body 1 can be transported at a predetermined speed.
[0013]
A transport device 6 that transports a plurality of buckets 5 in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction of the transport target 1 of the acceleration / deceleration transport device 3 is provided at an end portion that is a downstream position of the acceleration / deceleration transport device 3. The transport device 6 is, for example, an endless transport belt 20 serving as transport means that is wound around a pair of pulleys 21a and 21b so as to be freely rotatable. The transport belt 20 includes, for example, a belt in which a plurality of belt members made of synthetic resin are connected.
[0014]
Each bucket 5 includes a bottom wall portion 5a that slidably contacts the surface of the conveyor belt 20, and front and rear wall portions 5b and 5c. Both side surfaces and an upper surface are opened. On both sides of the bottom wall 5a, rollers 22 are provided as locking means for rolling the back surface of the conveyor belt 20 so as to sandwich the conveyor belt 20 with the bottom wall 5a. Each bucket 5 is not fixed to the conveyor belt 20 and is held by sliding contact by the bottom wall portion 5 a or rolling contact by each roller 22.
[0015]
Between the upper belt portion 20a and the lower belt portion 20b of the conveyor belt 20, a first stop 5 is provided for releasably stopping and holding each bucket 5 at a predetermined position (receiving position) A at the downstream end of the acceleration / deceleration conveyor device 3. Fixed position stop means 9 is provided. The first fixed position stop means 9 is provided so as to be swingable in the vertical direction around the fulcrum 25 so that the hook body 24 is releasably engaged with the downstream side of the roller 22 of each bucket 5. It is.
[0016]
A second fixed position stop means 10 for stopping and holding the bucket 5 at the discharge position B for supplying the bucket 5 to the supply conveyor device 8 is provided at a downstream position of the fixed position stop means 9. Similarly to the first fixed position stop means 9, the fixed position stop means 10 also includes a hook body 28 provided so as to be swingable in the vertical direction about the fulcrum 27.
[0017]
The pulleys 21a and 21b are integrally provided with upstream reversing means 12 and downstream reversing means 11 for reversing the bucket 5 by engaging with the rollers 22 of the buckets 5 from the rear together with the pulleys 21a and 21b. It is provided to rotate.
[0018]
Reference numeral 13 denotes a detection sensor for detecting the article 1 to be packaged that is put into the bucket 5 from the acceleration / deceleration conveyance device 3. Reference numeral 14 denotes a pool amount minimum detection sensor for detecting a predetermined number of buckets 5 that are in a “pressed and pressed” state at a discharge position B to a bucket (actual bucket) 5A into which a predetermined number of stacked objects 1 are loaded. is there.
[0019]
Next, the operation of the integrated supply device will be described.
First, the to-be-conveyed body 1 processed in the previous process is supplied to the conveying apparatus 2 at random. Since the transport device 2 is operated at a speed higher than that of the previous step, the transport target 1 is individually sent to the acceleration / deceleration transport device 3 at an appropriate interval.
[0020]
At the receiving position A at the downstream end of the acceleration / deceleration conveyance device 3, the bucket 5 is stopped and held by the first fixed position stop means 9. Since the bucket 5 is not fixed to the conveyor belt 20 of the conveyor device 6 and is held so as to be in sliding or rolling contact, the upper belt portion 20a of the conveyor belt 20 is the bottom wall of the bucket 5 that is stopped. Circulating and rotating while sliding on the part 5a. When the bucket 5 is stopped, the transported body 1 is charged and supplied into the bucket 5 at a high speed by the acceleration / deceleration transport device 3.
[0021]
When a predetermined number of stacked transported bodies 1 are loaded, the first fixed position stopping means 9 causes the hook body 24 to swing downward and release the engagement of the roller 22 of the bucket 5. Open 5A. The actual bucket 5 </ b> A is conveyed forward by frictional resistance due to contact with the belt of the conveying device 6. In addition, it is preferable to provide a guide body (not shown) or the like on the transport device 6 side so that the transported body 1 does not accidentally drop off from both sides of the actual bucket 5A.
[0022]
At the same time when the actual bucket 5A is conveyed, the next empty bucket 5 that has stopped in contact with the actual bucket 5A also moves forward due to frictional resistance, and the hook body 24 of the first fixed position stop means 9 swings upward. In order to move and engage the roller 22 of the bucket 5, the next empty bucket 5 is stopped and held at the receiving position A.
[0023]
Note that the predetermined number of stacked objects 1 is detected and integrated by the detection sensor 13. When the final number is detected, the acceleration / deceleration conveyance device 3 enters a decelerating operation state, and the next conveyed object 1 is passed until the actual bucket 5A passes and the next empty bucket 5 arrives at the receiving position A. Is kept from being thrown in.
[0024]
When the next accumulated object 1 to be conveyed is detected by the detection sensor 13, the acceleration / deceleration conveying device 3 enters an acceleration operation state. Hereinafter, the supply of the object 1 to the empty bucket 5 is similarly performed. Will be repeated.
[0025]
The actual bucket 5 </ b> A is stopped and held by the second fixed position stop means 10 at the discharge position B. Further, when the required minimum number of real buckets 5A are pooled in the “press and hold” state, the pool quantity minimum detection sensor 14 detects the last real bucket 5A. In response to the signal from the pool amount minimum detection sensor 14, the supply conveyor 8 of the integrated packaging machine is activated, and at the same time, the input device 7 (pusher, overhead conveyor, etc.) is operated, and a plurality of conveyed objects 1 (integrated products) in the actual bucket 5A. 4) is taken out and put into the supply conveyor 8.
[0026]
The bucket 5 emptied by taking out the accumulated product 4 is released by releasing the engagement of the second fixed position stop means 10, and moves forward again by the transport device 6. At the same time, the next actual bucket 5A also advances, and the next actual bucket 5A is stopped and held at the discharge position B by the second fixed position stop means 10.
[0027]
The emptied bucket 5 moves to the lower belt portion 20b of the conveyor 20 because the downstream reversing means 11 engages the roller 22, and further moves to the upper belt portion 20a by the upstream reversing means 12. Then, it circulates as an empty bucket 5 and is pooled in the “press and hold” state before the receiving position A. As described above, the automatic accumulation operation state is continued.
[0028]
Even if the transported body 1 that is difficult to be pooled in a “press and press” state, such as a transported body having an indefinite shape, is once accumulated in the bucket 5 by the stacking and feeding apparatus of the present embodiment, Since it can be handled in the same way as a transported object, it is possible to perform integrated packaging using a normal integrated packaging machine without the need for direct coupling with the previous process device (packet packaging machine).
[0029]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the shape and size of the bucket are not particularly limited, and can be determined as appropriate depending on the type of the transported object and the number of accommodated objects.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, even if the object to be transported is difficult to be pooled in a “pressed and pressed” state, such as a to-be-conveyed object having an indefinite shape, the plurality of objects to be transported are arranged. Once accumulated in the bucket 5, it can be handled in the same manner as a solid transported body. As a result, there is an advantage that efficient and efficient packing can be automatically performed using a normal stacking and packaging machine without requiring direct linkage with the apparatus in the previous process, and the cost required for a series of packing processes can be reduced.
