Description

本発明は、無端回動体に移動部材が連結された搬送設備、たとえば、無端回動体によって移動される移動部材に支持されることで、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搬送設備に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a transport facility in which a moving member is connected to an endless rotating body, for example, an article transported on a main transport path by being supported by a moving member moved by the endless rotating body. The present invention relates to a transfer facility used to move to a branch transfer route provided outside the side of the route.

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物品支持体を多数取り付け、これら物品支持体に案内される物品横押し体の裏面側に被ガイド体を設けるとともに、この被ガイド体を案内するガイド装置を設けている。前記無端回動体は無端チェーン形式で、特定のリンクピンが内側に突出されている。そして、物品支持体の両端にはサイド部材が取り付けられ、このサイド部材に形成された筒状の連結部に特定のリンクピンが差し込み結合されることで、物品支持体の両端が、それぞれサイド部材を介して無端チェーンに連結されている（たとえば、特許文献１参照。）。   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 conveyance path, a large number of article supports in the direction orthogonal to the main conveyance path are attached, and the back side of the article laterally pressed body guided by these article supports A guide body is provided on the guide body, and a guide device for guiding the guided body is provided. The endless rotating body is an endless chain type, and a specific link pin protrudes inward. Then, side members are attached to both ends of the article support, and specific link pins are inserted and coupled to the cylindrical connecting portions formed on the side members, so that both ends of the article support are respectively side members. Is connected to an endless chain (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また別の従来構成としては、チェーンにおけるリンクを連結する連結軸が長く突出されている。そして、スラットの端面に取付部材が取り付けられ、この取付部材の板部に形成された筒部に、チェーンの連結軸が圧入固定されている（たとえば、特許文献２参照。）。
特開２００３−１２８２３５号公報（第３−４頁、図１−図４） 特開平６−１１５６８０号公報（第３頁、第４図） As another conventional configuration, a connecting shaft for connecting links in a chain protrudes long. An attachment member is attached to the end surface of the slat, and a connecting shaft of the chain is press-fitted and fixed to a cylindrical portion formed on the plate portion of the attachment member (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
JP 2003-128235 A (page 3-4, FIGS. 1 to 4) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-115680 (page 3, FIG. 4)

しかし、特許文献１の構成によると、サイド部材側の連結部に特定のリンクピンが差し込み結合されることで、物品支持体が無端チェーンに連結されるものであり、また特許文献２の構成によると、取付部材側の筒部に連結軸が圧入固定されることで、スラットがチェーンに連結されるものであり、いずれにおいても、結合状態の維持は難しいものになる。すなわち使用時において、たとえば物品支持体（スラット）や無端チェーン（チェーン）が横振れ状態になるなどして、差し込み結合部（圧入固定部）に抜き力が作用したとき、物品支持体（スラット）に対して無端チェーン（チェーン）が離間して、その結合状態が乱れることになる。その結果、無端チェーン（チェーン）の回動が円滑に行われなくなり、ガタつきによる騒音の発生やスプロケットからの外れなどを招く恐れがある。   However, according to the configuration of Patent Document 1, the article support is connected to the endless chain by inserting and coupling a specific link pin to the connecting portion on the side member side. Then, the connecting shaft is press-fitted and fixed to the cylindrical portion on the mounting member side, so that the slat is connected to the chain, and in either case, it is difficult to maintain the coupled state. That is, in use, for example, when an article support (slat) or an endless chain (chain) is in a lateral swing state and a pulling force is applied to the insertion coupling part (press-fit fixing part), the article support (slat) On the other hand, the endless chain (chain) is separated and the coupling state is disturbed. As a result, the endless chain (chain) does not rotate smoothly, and there is a risk of causing noise due to rattling or detachment from the sprocket.

そこで本発明の請求項１記載の発明は、無端回動体と移動部材との連結、離脱（連結解除）を容易に行えるものでありながら、結合状態を常に強固に維持し得る搬送設備を提供することを目的としたものである。   Therefore, the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention provides a transport facility that can easily maintain the coupling state at all times while easily connecting and disconnecting (disconnecting) the endless rotating body and the moving member. It is for the purpose.

前述した目的を達成するために、本発明の請求項１記載の搬送設備は、無端回動体に移動部材が連結された搬送設備であって、移動部材側には、無端回動体の回動方向とは直交状方向の差し込み孔部が形成され、この差し込み孔部の差し込み方向の内部側には、内側ほど大径となる傾斜拡径面が形成され、前記差し込み孔部に差し込み自在な筒状連結体が設けられ、この筒状連結体は、その筒状部の外端に前記移動部材側の外端面に当接自在な鍔部が形成されるとともに、筒状部の内端側形成部分は周方向で複数に分割された舌片部に形成され、前記筒状連結体の筒状部に対して、前記無端回動体側からの突出部が外側から差し込み自在に構成され、この突出部の内端部分には環状凹部が形成されるとともに、この環状凹部の内部側は内側ほど大径となる傾斜面に形成され、前記舌片部には、前記傾斜拡径面に内側から対向自在な外向き凸部と、前記環状凹部に弾性係合自在な内向き凸部とが形成され、前記移動部材側の外端面に鍔部が当接されたとき、傾斜拡径面に対して外向き凸部が内側へ離間されて、舌片部群が弾性に抗して筒軸心から離れる側へ変形自在となり、外端面に対して鍔部が離間されたとき、傾斜拡径面に対して外向き凸部が当接されて、舌片部群の弾性に抗しての筒軸心から離れる側への変形が阻止されるように構成されていることを特徴としたものである。 In order to achieve the above-described object, the transfer facility according to claim 1 of the present invention is a transfer facility in which a moving member is connected to an endless rotating body, and the moving direction of the endless rotating body is on the moving member side. Is formed in a cylindrical shape that is formed into an inclined diameter-enlarged surface having a larger diameter on the inner side in the insertion direction of the insertion hole, and can be inserted into the insertion hole. A connecting body is provided, and this cylindrical connecting body is formed with a flange portion that can be brought into contact with the outer end surface of the moving member at an outer end of the cylindrical portion, and an inner end side forming portion of the cylindrical portion. Is formed in a tongue piece portion divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction, and a protruding portion from the endless rotating body side can be inserted from the outside into the cylindrical portion of the cylindrical connecting body. An annular recess is formed in the inner end portion of the inner recess, and the inner side of the annular recess is on the inner side. It is formed on an inclined surface having a large diameter, and the tongue piece has an outward convex portion that can be opposed to the inclined enlarged diameter surface from the inside and an inward convex portion that can be elastically engaged with the annular concave portion. When the flange is brought into contact with the outer end surface on the moving member side, the outward convex portion is separated inward with respect to the inclined diameter-enlarged surface, and the tongue piece portion group resists elasticity and the cylindrical axis deformation becomes freely to leave side from when the flange portion is spaced from the outer end face, the cylinder of the outward protrusion is abutting against the elasticity of the tongue piece group the inclined diverging surface It is characterized in that it is configured to prevent deformation to the side away from the axis .

したがって請求項１の発明によると、移動部材側の差し込み孔部に対して筒状連結体を外側から差し込み、その際に差し込みは、舌片部群を弾性に抗して筒軸心側に変形させ、外向き凸部群を差し込み孔部の内周面に摺接させながら行われる。このような差し込みによって、その鍔部を移動部材側の外端面に当接させて位置決めするとともに、舌片部群の外向き凸部を傾斜拡径面に対して、離間空間を置いて内側から対向させて係合状態とすることで、移動部材側に対して筒状連結体を内嵌状で連結し得、筒状連結体をセットし得る。   Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the cylindrical coupling body is inserted from the outside into the insertion hole portion on the moving member side, and the insertion is deformed to the cylindrical axis side against the elasticity of the tongue piece group. And the outward convex group is slidably brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole. By such insertion, the collar portion is positioned in contact with the outer end surface on the moving member side, and the outward convex portion of the tongue piece group is placed from the inner side with a space separated from the inclined enlarged diameter surface. By making it oppose and it is made to oppose, a cylindrical connection body can be connected with an internal fitting shape with respect to the moving member side, and a cylindrical connection body can be set.

次いで、突出部と筒状連結体の筒状部とを相対向させたのち、筒状部に対して突出部を外側から差し込む。この差し込みが終わりに近づいてきたとき、突出部の先端が内向き凸部群に当接する。このとき傾斜拡径面に対して外向き凸部が離間空間を置いて内側へ離間していることで、舌片部群を弾性に抗して筒軸心から離れる側に変形させ、以て突出部の差し込みは、内向き凸部群を突出部の先端外周面に摺接させながら行われる。そして、舌片部群の内向き凸部を環状凹部に対して弾性係合させることで、突出部を筒状連結体側に結合し得る。これにより、移動部材を無端回動体に連結し得る。   Subsequently, after making a protrusion part and the cylindrical part of a cylindrical connection body oppose each other, the protrusion part is inserted into the cylindrical part from the outside. When the insertion approaches the end, the tip of the projecting portion comes into contact with the inwardly convex portion group. At this time, the outward convex part is spaced apart inward with respect to the inclined diameter-enlarged surface, so that the tongue piece group is deformed to the side away from the cylindrical axis against elasticity, and thus The protrusion is inserted while the inward convex group is brought into sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the protrusion. And a protrusion part can be couple | bonded with the cylindrical connection body side by elastically engaging the inward convex part of a tongue piece part group with respect to an annular recessed part. Thereby, a moving member can be connected with an endless rotation body.

そして、無端回動体の回動によって移動部材を移動させている運転時において、故障や事故などの二次災害によって、無端回動体と移動部材側とが相対的に離間動する方向の力が作用したとき、すなわち、突出部と移動部材側とが相対的に抜出動する方向の力が作用したとき、突出部と一体状に抜出動しようとする筒状連結体の外向き凸部群が傾斜拡径面に当接して、移動部材側に対する筒状連結体の抜出動を阻止し得るとともに、内向き凸部群に傾斜面が当接して、筒状連結体に対する突出部の抜出動を阻止し得る。すなわち、突出部と移動部材側とが相対的に抜出動することを阻止し得る。   Then, during operation in which the moving member is moved by the rotation of the endless rotating body, a force in a direction in which the endless rotating body and the moving member side move relatively apart due to a secondary disaster such as a failure or an accident acts. In other words, when a force in a direction in which the protruding portion and the moving member side are relatively pulled out is applied, the outwardly protruding convex group of the cylindrical coupling body which is going to be pulled out integrally with the protruding portion is inclined. Abutting on the expanded surface can prevent the cylindrical connecting body from being pulled out to the moving member side, and the inclined surface is in contact with the inwardly protruding portion group to prevent the protruding portion from being pulled out from the cylindrical connecting body. Can do. That is, it is possible to prevent the protruding portion and the moving member side from being relatively pulled out.

また、移動部材を取り替えるなどの補修や点検作業を行うに、まず、突出部を移動部材側に結合させている状態で、鍔部に、移動部材側の外端面に当接させる外力を付与し、舌片部群の外向き凸部を傾斜拡径面に対して、離間空間を置いて内側から対向させておく。これを維持した状態で突出部を外側へ抜出動させると、内向き凸部群に傾斜面が当接して、舌片部群を、弾性に抗して筒軸心から離れる側に変形させようとし、このとき外向き凸部が、傾斜拡径面に対して離間空間を置いて内側から対向していることで、舌片部群の弾性に抗しての変形は何ら支障なく行われ、以て筒状連結体を移動部材側に残した状態で突出部を外側へ抜出動し得る。   In addition, in order to perform repairs and inspection work such as replacing the moving member, first, in the state where the protruding portion is coupled to the moving member side, an external force is applied to the buttock to contact the outer end surface on the moving member side. The outward projecting portion of the tongue piece group is opposed to the inclined enlarged diameter surface from the inside with a space. If the projecting part is pulled out while maintaining this, the inclined surface comes into contact with the inward convex part group, and the tongue piece part group is deformed to the side away from the cylindrical axis against elasticity. And, at this time, the outward convex part is opposed to the inside from the inner side with a spaced space with respect to the inclined enlarged diameter surface, so that the deformation against the elasticity of the tongue piece group is performed without any trouble, Thus, the protruding portion can be pulled out to the outside in a state where the cylindrical coupling body is left on the moving member side.

また本発明の請求項２記載の搬送設備は、上記した請求項１記載の構成において、無端回動体は、主搬送経路に沿って左右一対が配設され、これら無端回動体間に主搬送経路とは直交状の方向が長さ方向とされた移動部材が多数取り付けられていることを特徴としたものである。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the transport facility according to the first aspect, wherein the endless rotating body is provided with a pair of left and right along the main transport path, and the main transport path is between these endless rotating bodies.

The moving member group can be moved on the main transport path.

そして本発明の請求項３記載の搬送設備は、上記した請求項１または２記載の構成において、移動部材が物品支持体であることを特徴としたものである。
したがって請求項３の発明によると、無端回動体の回動によって物品支持体群を移動させることにより、始端部の物品支持体群上に供給した物品を搬送し得る。 And the conveyance equipment of Claim 3 of this invention is the structure of Claim 1 or 2 mentioned above, A moving member is an article | item support body, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
Therefore, according to the third aspect of the present invention, the article supplied on the article support group at the start end can be conveyed by moving the article support group by the rotation of the endless rotating body.

さらに本発明の請求項４記載の搬送設備は、上記した請求項３記載の構成において、物品支持体に外嵌して長さ方向に案内される物品横押し体が設けられていることを特徴としたものである。   Furthermore, the transport facility according to claim 4 of the present invention is characterized in that, in the configuration according to claim 3 described above, an article lateral pushing body that is externally fitted to the article support and guided in the length direction is provided. It is what.

したがって請求項４の発明によると、無端回動体の回動によって物品支持体群を移動させることにより、始端部の物品支持体群上に供給した物品を搬送し得、そして、物品支持体の長さ方向に物品横押し体を移動させることで物品を横押しし得る。   Therefore, according to the invention of claim 4, the article support group is moved by the rotation of the endless rotating body, whereby the supplied article can be transported onto the article support group at the start end, and the length of the article support body is increased. The article can be laterally pushed by moving the article laterally pushing body in the vertical direction.

しかも本発明の請求項５記載の搬送設備は、上記した請求項１〜４のいずれか１項に記載の構成において、移動部材側にはサイドブラケットが設けられ、このサイドブラケットに、差し込み孔部が形成された筒状体が設けられていることを特徴としたものである。   And the conveyance installation of Claim 5 of this invention is the structure of any one of Claims 1-4 mentioned above, A side bracket is provided in the moving member side, An insertion hole part is provided in this side bracket. A cylindrical body formed with is provided.

したがって請求項５の発明によると、筒状体の差し込み孔部に対して筒状連結体を外側から差し込むことで、サイドブラケット側に筒状連結体をセットし得、そして筒状連結体の差し込み孔部に対して突出部を外側から差し込むことで、移動部材を、サイドブラケットを介して無端回動体に連結し得る。そして筒状連結体をサイドブラケット側に残した状態で突出部を外側へ抜出動し得る。   Therefore, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the cylindrical coupling body can be set on the side bracket side by inserting the cylindrical coupling body from the outside into the insertion hole portion of the cylindrical body, and the insertion of the cylindrical coupling body By inserting the protrusion from the outside into the hole, the moving member can be connected to the endless rotating body via the side bracket. And a protrusion part can be extracted outside in the state which left the cylindrical connection body on the side bracket side.

また本発明の請求項６記載の搬送設備は、上記した請求項１〜５のいずれか１項に記載の構成において、無端回動体は無端チェーンからなり、リンク間の連結を行う連結ピン群のうち、所定の連結ピンを内側に突出させることで形成した長尺連結ピンにより突出部が構成されることを特徴としたものである。   Further, in the transport facility according to claim 6 of the present invention, in the configuration according to any one of claims 1 to 5, the endless rotating body is composed of an endless chain, and the connection pin group for connecting the links is provided. Among them, the protruding portion is constituted by a long connecting pin formed by protruding a predetermined connecting pin inward.

したがって請求項６の発明によると、無端チェーンにおける所定の長尺連結ピンを筒状連結部の筒状部に差し込み結合させることで、移動部材を無端チェーンに連結し得る。   Therefore, according to the invention of claim 6, the movable member can be connected to the endless chain by inserting and coupling the predetermined long connecting pin in the endless chain to the cylindrical portion of the cylindrical connecting portion.

上記した本発明の請求項１によると、移動部材側の差し込み孔部に対する筒状連結体の外側からの差し込みは、舌片部群を弾性に抗して筒軸心側に変形させ、外向き凸部群を差し込み孔部の内周面に摺接させながら行うことができる。このような差し込みによって、その鍔部を移動部材側の外端面に当接させて位置決めできるとともに、舌片部群の外向き凸部を傾斜拡径面に対して、離間空間を置いて内側から対向させて係合状態にできて、移動部材側に対して筒状連結体を内嵌状で連結でき、以て筒状連結体をセットできる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention described above, the insertion from the outside of the cylindrical coupling body into the insertion hole portion on the moving member side causes the tongue piece group to be deformed to the cylindrical axis side against elasticity, and outwardly This can be done while sliding the convex group to the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole. By such insertion, the flange portion can be positioned in contact with the outer end surface on the moving member side, and the outward convex portion of the tongue piece portion group is spaced from the inclined enlarged diameter surface from the inner side. It can be made to oppose and it can be made into an engagement state, a cylindrical connection body can be connected by internal fitting with respect to the moving member side, and a cylindrical connection body can be set by it.

次いで、突出部と筒状連結体の筒状部とを相対向させたのち、筒状部に対して突出部を外側から差し込み、この差し込みが終わりに近づいてきたとき、突出部の先端を内向き凸部群に当接でき、このとき傾斜拡径面に対して外向き凸部が離間空間を置いて内側へ離間していることで、舌片部群を弾性に抗して筒軸心から離れる側に変形でき、以て突出部の差し込みは、内向き凸部群を突出部の先端外周面に摺接させながら行うことができる。そして、舌片部群の内向き凸部を環状凹部に対して弾性係合させることで、突出部を筒状連結体に結合でき、これにより、移動部材を無端回動体に連結できる。したがって、突出部の外側から差し込み（連結）は、作業性を良くして容易に迅速に行うことができる。   Next, after making the projecting part and the tubular part of the tubular coupling body face each other, the projecting part is inserted into the tubular part from the outside, and when this insertion approaches the end, the tip of the projecting part is It can abut against the protruding convex group, and at this time, the protruding convex part is spaced inward from the inclined diameter-enlarged surface with a spacing space, so that the tongue piece group resists elasticity and has a cylindrical axis. Therefore, the protrusion can be inserted while sliding the inwardly protruding group to the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the protrusion. And the protrusion part can be couple | bonded with a cylindrical connection body by elastically engaging the inward convex part of a tongue piece part group with respect to an annular recessed part, and, thereby, a moving member can be connected to an endless rotating body.

そして、無端回動体の回動によって移動部材を移動させている運転時において、故障や事故などの二次災害によって、無端回動体と移動部材側とが相対的に離間動する方向の力が作用したとき、すなわち、突出部と移動部材側とが相対的に抜出動する方向の力が作用したとき、突出部と一体状に抜出動しようとする筒状連結体の外向き凸部群が傾斜拡径面に当接して、移動部材側に対する筒状連結体の抜出動を阻止できるとともに、内向き凸部群に傾斜面が当接して、筒状連結体に対する突出部の抜出動を阻止できる。すなわち、突出部と移動部材側との結合状態を常に強固にかつ好適に維持できて、これらが相対的に抜出動することを阻止でき、以て故障や事故などの災害が拡大化されることを自動的に防止できる。   Then, during operation in which the moving member is moved by the rotation of the endless rotating body, a force in a direction in which the endless rotating body and the moving member side move relatively apart due to a secondary disaster such as a failure or an accident acts. In other words, when a force in a direction in which the protruding portion and the moving member side are relatively pulled out is applied, the outwardly protruding convex group of the cylindrical coupling body which is going to be pulled out integrally with the protruding portion is inclined. Abutting on the expanded surface can prevent the cylindrical connecting body from being pulled out with respect to the moving member side, and an inclined surface can be in contact with the inwardly protruding portion group to prevent the protruding portion from being pulled out from the cylindrical connecting body. . That is, the coupling state between the protruding portion and the moving member side can always be maintained firmly and suitably, and these can be prevented from relatively moving out, thereby expanding disasters such as failures and accidents.

また、移動部材を取り替えるなどの補修や点検作業を行うに、まず、突出部を移動部材側に結合させている状態で、鍔部に、移動部材側の外端面に当接させる外力を付与し、舌片部群の外向き凸部を傾斜拡径面に対して、離間空間を置いて内側から対向させておく。これを維持した状態で突出部を外側へ抜出動させると、内向き凸部群に傾斜面が当接して、舌片部群を、弾性に抗して筒軸心から離れる側に変形させようとし、このとき外向き凸部が、傾斜拡径面に対して離間空間を置いて内側から対向していることで、舌片部群の弾性に抗しての変形は何ら支障なく行うことができ、以て筒状連結体を移動部材側に残した状態で突出部を外側へ抜出動できる。すなわち、突出部の外側への抜き出し（連結解除）も、突出部の外側から差し込み（連結）と同様にして、作業性を良くして容易に迅速に行うことができる。   In addition, in order to perform repairs and inspection work such as replacing the moving member, first, in the state where the protruding portion is coupled to the moving member side, an external force is applied to the buttock to contact the outer end surface on the moving member side. The outward projecting portion of the tongue piece group is opposed to the inclined enlarged diameter surface from the inside with a space. If the projecting part is pulled out while maintaining this, the inclined surface comes into contact with the inward convex part group, and the tongue piece part group is deformed to the side away from the cylindrical axis against elasticity. At this time, the outward projecting portion is spaced from the inclined enlarged diameter surface and faces from the inside so that the deformation against the elasticity of the tongue piece group can be performed without any trouble. Thus, the protruding portion can be pulled out to the outside while the cylindrical connector is left on the moving member side. That is, extraction (connection release) to the outside of the protruding portion can be easily and quickly performed with improved workability in the same manner as insertion (connection) from the outside of the protruding portion.

また上記した本発明の請求項２によると、左右一対の無端回動体間に、主搬送経路とは直交状の方向が長さ方向とされた多数の移動部材を取り付けることができ、両無端回動体の回動によって移動部材群を主搬送経路上で移動できる。   According to the second aspect of the present invention described above, a large number of moving members whose length direction is perpendicular to the main transport path can be attached between the pair of left and right endless rotating bodies. The moving member group can be moved on the main transport path by the rotation of the moving body.

以下に、上記した実施の形態１において、搬送設備の組み立て、ならびに物品１６０の搬送、分岐作用を説明する。
搬送設備の施工時などにおいて、本体フレーム１を枠組み状に組み立て、そして本体フレーム１に無端チェーン４０や物品支持体５０などを組み込んだのち、両上位フレーム材１０の上端にカバー体１４０を配設させる。 Hereinafter, in the above-described first embodiment, the assembly of the transport facility, the transport of the article 160, and the branching action will be described.
After constructing the main body frame 1 in the form of a frame, for example, when constructing a transport facility, and incorporating the endless chain 40 and the article support 50 into the main body frame 1, the cover body 140 is disposed at the upper ends of both upper frame materials 10. Let

すなわち、物品支持体５０に形成した前後一対の空間部にサイドブラケット６１の一対の連結用突出部６２Ａを差し込んで、物品支持体５０の端面側にサイドブラケット６１の内面側を当接させたのち、貫通孔６３に外側から通したボルト体６９を螺合部５５Ａ，５５Ｂのいずれかに螺合結合させる。これにより、物品支持体５０の両端にサイドブラケット６１を取り付け得、その際に、両サイドブラケット６１を取り付ける前、または一方のサイドブラケット６１を取り付けた後に、物品支持体５０に対して物品横押し体８０を外嵌させている。さらに、両サイドブラケット６１を取り付ける前、または両サイドブラケット６１を取り付けた後に、これらサイドブラケット６１側に、筒状連結体６７や回転体７０やサイドローラ７１をセットしている。   That is, after inserting the pair of connecting protrusions 62A of the side bracket 61 into the pair of front and rear space portions formed on the article support 50, the inner surface side of the side bracket 61 is brought into contact with the end face side of the article support 50. The bolt body 69 passed from the outside to the through hole 63 is screwed and coupled to either of the screwing portions 55A and 55B. As a result, the side brackets 61 can be attached to both ends of the article support 50, and at that time, before the both side brackets 61 are attached or after one of the side brackets 61 is attached, the article is laterally pushed against the article support 50. The body 80 is externally fitted. Furthermore, before attaching both side brackets 61 or after attaching both side brackets 61, the cylindrical connecting body 67, the rotating body 70, and the side rollers 71 are set on the side bracket 61 side.

すなわち、筒状体６４の差し込み孔部６５に対して筒状連結体６７を外側から差し込み、その際に差し込みは、舌片部６７Ｃ群を弾性に抗して筒軸心側に変形させ、外向き凸部６７Ｄ群を差し込み孔部６５の内周面に摺接させながら行われる。このような差し込みによって、図１に示すように、その鍔部６７Ｂを筒状体６４の外端面６４ａに当接または接近させて位置決めするとともに、舌片部６７Ｃ群の外向き凸部６７Ｄを傾斜拡径面６５ａに対して、離間空間Ｌを置いて内側から対向させて係合状態とすることで、筒状体６４に対して筒状連結体６７を内嵌状で連結し得、以てサイドブラケット６１側に筒状連結体６７をセットし得る。そして、筒状体６４にリング体７５や回転体７０を外嵌するとともに、支持用突出部６２Ｂに縦軸７２を介してサイドローラ７１を遊転自在に取り付ける。   That is, the cylindrical connecting body 67 is inserted into the insertion hole 65 of the cylindrical body 64 from the outside. At this time, the insertion causes the tongue piece 67C group to be elastically deformed to the cylindrical axis side, This is performed while the directional convex portion 67D group is slidably contacted with the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole portion 65. By such insertion, as shown in FIG. 1, the flange portion 67B is positioned in contact with or close to the outer end surface 64a of the cylindrical body 64, and the outward convex portion 67D of the tongue piece portion 67C is inclined. The cylindrical connecting body 67 can be connected to the cylindrical body 64 in an internally fitted state by placing the separation space L on the enlarged diameter surface 65a and facing the inner surface from the inside to be engaged. A cylindrical connector 67 can be set on the side bracket 61 side. Then, the ring body 75 and the rotating body 70 are externally fitted to the cylindrical body 64, and the side roller 71 is attached to the supporting protrusion 62B via the vertical axis 72 so as to be freely rotatable.

このようにして、物品支持体５０の両端にサイドブラケット６１を取り付けたのち、無端チェーン４０における特定の長尺連結ピン４３を筒状連結体６７に差し込み結合させることで、物品支持体５０の両端を、それぞれサイドブラケット６１を介して無端チェーン４０に連結し得る。すなわち図１４に示すように、無端チェーン４０の所定箇所を外側に移動させる（撓ませる）ことで、この所定箇所を起立部１１の上方を通して外側へ移動させ、以て長尺連結ピン４３の突出部分を潤滑油受け部１３の上方に位置させる。   Thus, after attaching the side bracket 61 to the both ends of the article support body 50, the specific long connection pin 43 in the endless chain 40 is inserted into and coupled to the cylindrical connection body 67, whereby both ends of the article support body 50 are connected. Can be coupled to the endless chain 40 via the side brackets 61, respectively. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, by moving a predetermined portion of the endless chain 40 to the outside (bending), the predetermined portion is moved to the outside through the upright portion 11, so that the long connecting pin 43 protrudes. The part is positioned above the lubricating oil receiver 13.

そして、長尺連結ピン４３の突出部分と筒状連結体６７の筒状部６７Ａとを相対向させたのち、筒状部６７Ａに対して長尺連結ピン４３の突出部分を外側から差し込む。この差し込みが終わりに近づいてきたとき、長尺連結ピン４３の先端が内向き凸部６７Ｅ群に当接する。このとき傾斜拡径面６５ａに対して外向き凸部６７Ｄが離間空間Ｌを置いて内側へ離間していることで、舌片部６７Ｃ群を弾性に抗して筒軸心から離れる側に変形させ、以て長尺連結ピン４３の差し込みは、内向き凸部６７Ｅ群を長尺連結ピン４３の先端外周面に摺接させながら行われる。そして図１に示すように、舌片部６７Ｃ群の内向き凸部６７Ｅを環状凹部４４に対して弾性係合させることで、長尺連結ピン４３をサイドブラケット６１側に結合し得る。   And after making the protrusion part of the long connection pin 43 and the cylindrical part 67A of the cylindrical connection body 67 oppose each other, the protrusion part of the long connection pin 43 is inserted into the cylindrical part 67A from the outside. When this insertion is approaching the end, the tip of the long connecting pin 43 comes into contact with the inward convex portion 67E group. At this time, since the outward convex portion 67D is spaced apart from the inclined enlarged diameter surface 65a with the separation space L inward, the tongue piece portion 67C is deformed to the side away from the cylindrical axis against elasticity. Thus, the insertion of the long connecting pin 43 is performed while the inward protruding portion 67E group is slidably brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the distal end of the long connecting pin 43. As shown in FIG. 1, the long connecting pin 43 can be coupled to the side bracket 61 side by elastically engaging the inward convex portion 67 </ b> E of the tongue piece portion 67 </ b> C group with the annular concave portion 44.

これにより、物品支持体５０の両端を、それぞれサイドブラケット６１を介して無端チェーン４０に連結し得る。その際に長尺連結ピン４３の外側からの差し込み（連結）は、起立部１１に邪魔されることなく、作業性を良くして容易に迅速に行える。このような連結を順次行うことで、左右一対の無端チェーン４０間に多数の物品支持体５０を取り付け得る。その際に、サイドブラケット６１の嵌合部６６は、隣接したサイドブラケット６１におけるリング体７５に外嵌されることになる。   Thereby, both ends of the article support 50 can be connected to the endless chain 40 via the side brackets 61 respectively. In this case, the insertion (connection) from the outside of the long connection pin 43 can be easily and quickly performed with improved workability without being disturbed by the standing portion 11. By sequentially performing such connection, a large number of article supports 50 can be attached between the pair of left and right endless chains 40. At that time, the fitting portion 66 of the side bracket 61 is externally fitted to the ring body 75 in the adjacent side bracket 61.

次いで、両上位フレーム材１０の上端にカバー体１４０を配設させる。すなわち、側板部１４１の下部を起立部１１に対して外側から当接させた状態で、外側から通したボルト体１４３を、外向き溝部１４内に予め位置させたナット体１４４に螺合させることによって、上位フレーム材１０の起立部１１に対して着脱自在に固定し得る。このような、物品支持体５０の取り付けやカバー体１４０の配設を行う前後に、本体フレーム１側に、往路案内装置１１０、復路案内装置１１６、上部切り換え手段１３０、下部切り換え手段１３１、振り分け手段１３２Ａ，１３２Ｂなどを配設している。これにより搬送設備を組み立て得る。   Next, the cover body 140 is disposed on the upper ends of the upper frame members 10. That is, the bolt body 143 passed from the outside is screwed into the nut body 144 previously positioned in the outward groove portion 14 with the lower portion of the side plate portion 141 in contact with the upright portion 11 from the outside. Thus, the upper frame material 10 can be detachably fixed to the upright portion 11. Before and after the attachment of the article support 50 and the arrangement of the cover body 140, the forward guide device 110, the backward guide device 116, the upper switching device 130, the lower switching device 131, and the sorting device are provided on the main body frame 1 side. 132A, 132B, etc. are provided. Thereby, a conveyance equipment can be assembled.

このように組み立てた搬送設備は、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を強制回転させることで、両無端チェーン４０を回動し得る。この両無端チェーン４０の回動によって物品支持体５０群を、回転体７０を介して両案内レール部１８，２６の上向き支持面１８ａ，２６ａに支持案内させるとともに、サイドローラ７１を介して案内レール部１８の横向き案内面１８ｂや上端延長部２９の横向き案内面２９ａに案内させることで、安定した状態で移動し得る。その際に復路側においては、回転体７０の上方に上端延長部２９が位置することで、この回転体７０の浮き上りを阻止し得、以て物品支持体５０群を上下でガタつくことなく安定し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群上に供給した物品１６０を主搬送経路４５上で搬送し得る。   The transport equipment assembled in this way can rotate both endless 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 rotating the both endless chains 40, the article support 50 group is supported and guided by the upper support surfaces 18 a and 26 a of the both guide rail portions 18 and 26 via the rotating body 70, and the guide rails are connected via the side rollers 71. By being guided by the lateral guide surface 18b of the part 18 or the lateral guide surface 29a of the upper end extension 29, the guide can move in a stable state. At that time, the upper end extension 29 is positioned above the rotating body 70 on the return path side, so that the rotating body 70 can be prevented from rising, and thus the article support 50 group does not rattle up and down. Can move in a stable state. As a result, the article support 50 group circulates and moves, so that the article 160 supplied onto the starting article support 50 group can be conveyed on the main conveyance path 45.

なお搬送時において、往路での両無端チェーン４０の移動は、カバー体１４０の下方でかつ潤滑油受け部１３の上方で行われ、また復路での両無端チェーン４０の移動は、上端延長部２９の下方でかつ潤滑油受け部２５の上方で行われる。   During transport, the movement of both endless chains 40 in the forward path is performed below the cover body 140 and above the lubricating oil receiver 13, and the movement of both endless chains 40 in the return path is performed by the upper end extension 29. And above the lubricating oil receiver 25.

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８０は、その案内ローラ１０１が案内装置１１０，１１６群に案内されることによって、被案内部９１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。   When performing such conveyance, the article laterally pressing body 80 that moves integrally with the article support 50 group is guided by the guide devices 110 and 116 to guide the guided portion 91. The article support 50 is reciprocated in the longitudinal direction 51 of the article support 50, or is moved linearly along the main transport path 45 together with the article support 50.

すなわち、たとえば一方側の始端案内部１１１Ａに案内されている案内ローラ１０１は、振り分け手段１３２Ａが直線状振り分け姿勢のときに直進案内され、そして案内作用を受けない状態で直進したのち終端案内部１１４Ａに案内されることになる。これにより物品横押し体８０は物品１６０に作用せず、この物品１６０は主搬送経路４５上を直進状に搬送される。なお反対側も同様であって、始端案内部１１１Ｂの案内ローラ１０１は、振り分け手段１３２Ｂから終端案内部１１４Ｂへと移動することになる。   That is, for example, the guide roller 101 guided by the one-side start guide portion 111A is guided in a straight line when the sorting means 132A is in the linear sorting posture, and after straight running in a state in which no guide action is received, the end guide unit 114A. Will be guided to. As a result, the article laterally pressing body 80 does not act on the article 160, and the article 160 is conveyed in a straight line on the main conveyance path 45. The same applies to the opposite side, and the guide roller 101 of the start end guide portion 111B moves from the sorting means 132B to the end guide portion 114B.

また、一方側の始端案内部１１１Ａに案内されている案内ローラ１０１は、振り分け手段１３２Ａが傾斜状振り分け姿勢のときに内側へ傾斜案内され、そして内移動案内部１１２Ａに案内されて内側へ移動されたのち、上部切り換え手段１３０を介して外移動案内部１１３Ｂに移り、この外移動案内部１１３Ｂに案内されて外側へ移動されたのち終端案内部１１４Ｂに案内される。これにより物品横押し体８０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、以て他側の横押し作用部８５が物品１６０に横押し作用して、この物品１６０を、その向きを変えながら、主搬送経路４５に対して傾斜状で分岐移動させ、他方の分岐コンベヤ１５１Ｂに渡すことになる。   Further, the guide roller 101 guided by the one-side starting end guide portion 111A is guided to be inclined inward when the distribution means 132A is in the inclined distribution posture, and is guided to the inner movement guide portion 112A to be moved inward. After that, it moves to the outer movement guide part 113B via the upper switching means 130, and is guided by the outer movement guide part 113B and moved outward and then guided to the terminal guide part 114B. As a result, the group of article laterally pushing bodies 80 traverses the main transport path 45 while moving in the transport direction, so that the lateral side pushing action portion 85 on the other side laterally acts on the article 160 to cause the article 160 to move. While changing its direction, it is branched and moved with respect to the main transport path 45, and handed over to the other branch conveyor 151B.

なお反対側も同様であって、始端案内部１１１Ｂの案内ローラ１０１は、振り分け手段１３２Ｂ、内移動案内部１１２Ｂ、上部切り換え手段１３０、外移動案内部１１３Ａ、終端案内部１１４Ａと案内され、物品横押し体８０群の一側の横押し作用部８５が、横押し当接部材９０を介して物品１６０に横押し作用して、この物品１６０を一方の分岐コンベヤ１５１Ａに渡すことになる。   The same applies to the opposite side, and the guide roller 101 of the start end guide portion 111B is guided by the sorting means 132B, the inner movement guide portion 112B, the upper switching means 130, the outer movement guide portion 113A, and the end guide portion 114A. The lateral pushing action portion 85 on one side of the push body 80 group laterally acts on the article 160 via the transverse pushing abutting member 90, and the article 160 is delivered to one branching conveyor 151A.

上述したようにして終端案内部１１４Ａ，１１４Ｂの端部に達した案内ローラ１０１は反転案内体１３６Ａ，１３６Ｂに案内されて反転する。そして復路案内装置１１６においては、まず内移動案内部１１７Ａ，１１７Ｂに案内されて中央部に移動され、次いで下部切り換え手段１３１により左右に振り分けられたのち、外移動案内部１１８Ａ，１１８Ｂの案内により外側へと移動される。その後に、反転案内体１３５Ａ，１３５Ｂに案内されて反転したのち、始端案内部１１１Ａ，１１１Ｂのいずれかに移される。   As described above, the guide roller 101 that has reached the end portions of the end guide portions 114A and 114B is guided and reversed by the reverse guide bodies 136A and 136B. In the return route guidance device 116, first, it is guided by the inner movement guide portions 117A and 117B, moved to the center portion, and then distributed to the left and right by the lower switching means 131, and then is guided to the outside by the guidance of the outer movement guide portions 118A and 118B. Moved to. After that, after being guided and reversed by the reversing guide bodies 135A and 135B, it is moved to one of the start end guide portions 111A and 111B.

このような反転案内体１３５Ａ，１３５Ｂ、１３６Ａ，１３６Ｂに案内されて反転するとき、前後のサイドブラケット６１間が相対的に伸縮される状態になり、これにより嵌合部６６とリング体７５とが摺接動するが、その際に鉄製の嵌合部６６と樹脂製のリング体７５との摺接動、つまり嵌合面が異なる材質からなる摺接動であることから、たとえば嵌合面が同じ材質からなる摺接動に比べて、摩耗や騒音の発生を減少し得る。   When the reversing guide bodies 135A, 135B, 136A, and 136B are guided and reversed, the front and rear side brackets 61 are relatively expanded and contracted, whereby the fitting portion 66 and the ring body 75 are connected. In this case, the slidable contact movement between the iron fitting portion 66 and the resin ring body 75, that is, the slidable contact movement made of a different material is used. Compared to sliding contact made of the same material, wear and noise generation can be reduced.

前述した物品横押し体８０の往復移動は、前後の被案内部９１，９２を介して、物品支持体５０における案内部５９，６０に嵌合されて案内される状態で、すなわち、舌片体９４，９６群の弾性反発力により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）を大きく変化させることなく、常に安定して行える。さらに、舌片体９４，９６群を長さ方向５１の両端に振り分けて形成していることで、物品横押し体８０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。   The reciprocating movement of the article laterally pressing body 80 described above is guided and fitted to the guide portions 59 and 60 of the article support 50 via the front and rear guided portions 91 and 92, that is, the tongue piece body. In a state in which a suitable sliding friction is generated by the elastic repulsive force of the 94th and 96th groups, there is no backlash and the posture (orientation) is not greatly changed, and it can always be performed stably. Furthermore, the tongue piece bodies 94 and 96 are formed so as to be distributed to both ends in the length direction 51, so that the movement of the article laterally pushing body 80 causes the same suitable sliding friction in both reciprocations. It can be done in the state.

上述したように、物品横押し体８０群が搬送方向に移動しながら主搬送経路４５を横切ることによって、横押し作用部８５を物品１６０に横押し作用させて、この物品１６０を分岐移動させ、分岐コンベヤ１５１Ａ，１５１Ｂに渡しているが、その際に物品１６０は、凸状部５２間で支持され、かつ凸状部５２上を摺動することから、その分岐移動は摩擦抵抗が少ない状態で行え、以て物品１６０を傷つけることなく、しかも物品支持体５０側を摩耗させることなく、所期の分岐移動をスムースに行える。さらに分岐移動される物品１６０は、無端チェーン４０の上方を閉塞状とするために上位フレーム材１０に固定したカバー体１４０の上方を乗り越えることで、物品１６０に付着していた塵埃などが無端チェーン４０側に落下するのを防止し得る。   As described above, when the article laterally pressing body 80 group moves in the transport direction and crosses the main transport path 45, the laterally pushing action portion 85 is laterally pushed to the article 160, and the article 160 is branched and moved. Although it is handed over to the branch conveyors 151A and 151B, the article 160 is supported between the convex parts 52 and slides on the convex parts 52. Therefore, the desired branching movement can be performed smoothly without damaging the article 160 and without wearing the article support 50 side. Further, the article 160 to be branched and moved moves over the cover body 140 fixed to the upper frame member 10 so that the upper part of the endless chain 40 is closed, so that dust or the like attached to the article 160 can be removed from the endless chain. It can prevent falling to the 40 side.

そして横押し作用部８５の側部は、前端部８１Ａの左右角部が円弧状側面８１ｂに形成され、この円弧状側面８１ｂの後端に横押し当接面８７ａが連なる状態で横押し当接部材８７が設けられていることから、この横押し作用部８５における側部のほぼ全長を横押し作用面とし得、以て安定した横押し移動を可能にし得るとともに、前後の物品横押し体８０における横押し作用部８５間の隙間Ｓ（図８参照）を小さくして、物品１６０が入り込まない状態で所期の横押し移動を可能にし得る。   The side portion of the lateral pushing action portion 85 is laterally abutted in a state in which the left and right corners of the front end portion 81A are formed on the arc-shaped side surface 81b, and the lateral pushing contact surface 87a is connected to the rear end of the arc-shaped side surface 81b. Since the member 87 is provided, the substantially full length of the side portion of the lateral pushing action portion 85 can be used as the lateral pushing action surface, thereby enabling stable lateral pushing movement and the front and rear article lateral pushing bodies 80. The gap S (refer to FIG. 8) between the lateral pushing action portions 85 in FIG. 8 can be reduced to enable the intended lateral pushing movement in a state where the article 160 does not enter.

また横押し作用部８５の上部は、前後方向の中間部分が前下方への傾斜状上面８６ａに形成されるとともに、この傾斜状上面８６ａに連ねて前端部分には、前記傾斜状上面８６ａに対して角度の緩やかな始端凹円弧状上面８１ａが形成されていることで、たとえば横押し開始時において、前後の物品横押し体８０間で物品１６０を挟み込むような状態になったとき、この物品１６０の下に、まず角度の緩やかな始端凹円弧状上面８１ａがスムースに潜り込み、そして物品１６０を傾斜状上面８６ａによって持ち上げる状態になる。これにより、挟み込みのない状態で所期の横押し移動を可能にし得、以て物品１６０や物品横押し体８０の破損を防止し得る。なお、前端部８１Ａの左右角部が円弧状側面８１ｂに形成されていることで、物品１６０の下への潜り込みは、よりスムースに行えることになる。   Further, the upper part of the lateral pushing action part 85 is formed with an intermediate part in the front-rear direction on an inclined upper surface 86a that extends forward and downward. By forming the start-side concave arcuate upper surface 81a having a gentle angle, for example, when the article 160 is sandwiched between the front and rear article laterally pressing bodies 80 at the start of the lateral pushing, the article 160 is placed. First, the concave arcuate upper surface 81a having a gentle angle is smoothly submerged, and the article 160 is lifted by the inclined upper surface 86a. Thereby, the intended lateral pushing movement can be made possible without being pinched, and thus the article 160 and the article lateral pushing body 80 can be prevented from being damaged. In addition, since the left and right corners of the front end portion 81A are formed on the arc-shaped side surface 81b, the dive under the article 160 can be performed more smoothly.

上述したような運転時において、故障や事故などの二次災害によって、無端チェーン４０と物品支持体５０とが長さ方向５１において相対的に離間動する方向の力が作用したとき、すなわち、長尺連結ピン４３と筒状体６４とが相対的に抜出動する方向の力が作用したとき、図１５（ａ）に示すように、長尺連結ピン４３と一体状に抜出動しようとする筒状連結体６７の外向き凸部６７Ｄ群が傾斜拡径面６５ａに当接するとともに、内向き凸部６７Ｅ群に傾斜面４４ａが当接することになる。したがって、外向き凸部６７Ｄ群が傾斜拡径面６５ａに当接することによって筒状体６４に対する筒状連結体６７の抜出動を阻止し得るとともに、内向き凸部６７Ｅ群に傾斜面４４ａが当接することによって筒状連結体６７に対する長尺連結ピン４３の抜出動を阻止し得る。すなわち、長尺連結ピン４３と筒状体６４とが相対的に抜出動することを阻止し得、以て故障や事故などの災害が拡大化されることを自動的に防止し得る。   During operation as described above, when a force in a direction in which the endless chain 40 and the article support 50 are relatively moved apart in the longitudinal direction 51 is applied due to a secondary disaster such as a failure or an accident, that is, As shown in FIG. 15 (a), when the force in the direction in which the long connecting pin 43 and the cylindrical body 64 are relatively pulled out is applied, the cylinder that is about to be pulled out integrally with the long connecting pin 43. The outwardly projecting portion 67D group of the connecting body 67 contacts the inclined enlarged diameter surface 65a, and the inclined surface 44a contacts the inwardly protruding portion 67E group. Therefore, when the outward convex portion 67D group comes into contact with the inclined enlarged diameter surface 65a, it is possible to prevent the tubular connecting body 67 from being pulled out of the cylindrical body 64, and the inclined surface 44a contacts the inward convex portion 67E group. By making contact, it is possible to prevent the long connecting pin 43 from being pulled out of the cylindrical connecting body 67. That is, it is possible to prevent the long connecting pin 43 and the cylindrical body 64 from moving out relatively, and thus it is possible to automatically prevent a disaster such as a failure or an accident from being enlarged.

また、物品横押し体８０を取り替えるなどの補修や点検作業を行うに、まず筒状体６４に対して長尺連結ピン４３を外側へ抜出動（連結解除）させる。その際に、図１５（ｂ）に示すように、長尺連結ピン４３をサイドブラケット６１側に結合させている状態で、鍔部６７Ｂの外側にドライバーなどの工具を位置させて、この鍔部６７Ｂに、筒状体６４の外端面６４ａに当接させる外力Ｐを付与し、舌片部６７Ｃ群の外向き凸部６７Ｄを傾斜拡径面６５ａに対して、離間空間Ｌを置いて内側から対向させておく。これを維持した状態で長尺連結ピン４３を外側へ抜出動させると、内向き凸部６７Ｅ群に傾斜面４４ａが当接して、舌片部６７Ｃ群を、弾性に抗して筒軸心から離れる側に変形させようとする。このとき外向き凸部６７Ｄが、傾斜拡径面６５ａに対して離間空間Ｌを置いて内側から対向していることで、舌片部６７Ｃ群の弾性に抗しての変形は何ら支障なく行われ、以て筒状連結体６７をサイドブラケット６１側に残した状態で長尺連結ピン４３を外側へ抜出動し得る。すなわち、長尺連結ピン４３の外側への抜き出し（連結解除）も、長尺連結ピン４３の外側から差し込み（連結）と同様にして、作業性を良くして容易に迅速に行えることになる。   Further, in order to perform repair or inspection work such as replacing the article laterally pressing body 80, first, the long connecting pin 43 is moved outward (disconnected) from the cylindrical body 64. At this time, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), a tool such as a screwdriver is positioned outside the flange 67B in a state where the long connecting pin 43 is coupled to the side bracket 61 side. 67B is applied with an external force P to be brought into contact with the outer end surface 64a of the cylindrical body 64, and the outward projecting portion 67D of the tongue piece portion 67C group is placed from the inner side with the separation space L with respect to the inclined enlarged diameter surface 65a. Keep them facing each other. When the long connecting pin 43 is moved outward while maintaining this state, the inclined surface 44a comes into contact with the inward convex portion 67E group, and the tongue piece portion 67C group is elastically resisted from the cylinder axis. Attempt to deform away. At this time, the outward convex portion 67D is opposed to the inclined enlarged diameter surface 65a from the inner side with a space L, so that the deformation against the elasticity of the tongue piece 67C group can be performed without any trouble. Therefore, the long connecting pin 43 can be pulled out to the outside while the cylindrical connecting body 67 is left on the side bracket 61 side. That is, extraction (connection release) to the outside of the long connection pin 43 can be performed easily and quickly with improved workability in the same manner as insertion (connection) from the outside of the long connection pin 43.

上記した実施の形態１では、無端チェーン４０が主搬送経路４５に沿って左右一対に配設され、これら無端チェーン４０間に主搬送経路４５とは直交状の方向が長さ方向５１とされた移動部材（物品支持体５０）が多数取り付けられた転換コンベア形式の搬送設備が示されているが、これは、主搬送経路４５の一側にのみ無端チェーン４０が配設され、この無端チェーン４０に移動部材の一側端が連結された形式の搬送設備や、移動部材として、物品支持用のベルトコンベア装置を採用した形式の搬送設備などであってもよい。   In the first embodiment described above, the endless chain 40 is disposed in a pair of left and right along the main transport path 45, and the length direction 51 is a direction orthogonal to the main transport path 45 between the endless chains 40.
