本発明によれば、コンベア上の倒れた容器を除去することができる。   According to the present invention, the fallen containers on the conveyor can be removed.

以下、添付図面を参照しながら本発明の好適な実施形態を説明する。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図１〜図３は、本発明の好適な実施形態の除去装置の構成を概略的に示す図である。図１〜図３に示す除去装置１００は、搬送対象の複数の容器１のうち倒れた容器１’を除去するように構成されている。この実施形態では、除去装置１００は、複数列の容器を１列に整列させる整列装置の一部として構成されている。   1 to 3 are diagrams schematically showing a configuration of a removal apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The removal apparatus 100 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is configured to remove the fallen container 1 ′ from the plurality of containers 1 to be transported. In this embodiment, the removal device 100 is configured as a part of an aligning device that aligns a plurality of rows of containers in a row.

除去装置１００は、容器１を下方から支持して搬送するコンベア１０を備えている。コンベア１０は、典型的には、互いに搬送速度が異なる複数のコンベア１２を搬送方向に直交する方向に並べることによって構成されうる。ここで、複数のコンベア１２のうち搬送方向の下流側（整列させる側）に近いコンベアほど（図１、図２において下側に記載されたコンベアほど）、その搬送速度が速く設定されうる。   The removing apparatus 100 includes a conveyor 10 that supports and conveys the container 1 from below. The conveyor 10 can be typically configured by arranging a plurality of conveyors 12 having different conveyance speeds in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction. Here, of the plurality of conveyors 12, the conveyor closer to the downstream side (alignment side) in the conveyance direction (the conveyor described in the lower side in FIGS. 1 and 2) can be set to have a higher conveyance speed.

コンベア１０によって搬送される容器１は、ガイド部材８０、２２、３０等によってガイドされることによって、コンベア１０自体による本来の搬送方向（図１、図２において右から左に向かう方向）からやや傾斜した移動経路１４を通るように搬送される。   The containers 1 transported by the conveyor 10 are slightly inclined from the original transport direction by the conveyor 10 itself (the direction from right to left in FIGS. 1 and 2) by being guided by the guide members 80, 22, 30 and the like. It is conveyed so as to pass through the movement path 14 that has been made.

除去装置１００は、コンベア１０によって搬送される容器１の搬送経路１４の両側方のうち第１側方Ａ側に配置された排斥機構２０を備えている。排斥機構２０は、図２に例示的に示すように、コンベア１０上の容器１のうち倒れた容器１’を移動経路１４の第２側方Ｂ側に配置された排斥部（例えば、排斥用トレー、排斥用コンベア等）７０に向けて排斥する。   The removal apparatus 100 includes a waste removal mechanism 20 disposed on the first side A side of both sides of the transport path 14 of the containers 1 transported by the conveyor 10. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the evacuation mechanism 20 includes a evacuation unit (for example, an evacuation unit) arranged on the second side B side of the movement path 14 with respect to the container 1 ′ that falls down among the containers 1 on the conveyor 10. (Tray, waste conveyor, etc.)

排斥機構２０は、コンベア１０上の容器１の移動方向を変更するように（すなわち、容器１の移動経路１４に沿うように）容器１をガイドするガイド部材２２と、ガイド部材２２をコンベア１０の搬送面にほぼ直交する軸の周りで回動可能に軸支する支持部材（回動軸）２４と、ガイド部材１４に対して復元力を作用させる復元力発生機構とを含む。復元力発生機構は、支持部材２８とガイド部材２２との間に配置されたスプリング２６を含み得る。スプリング２６は、例えば、摺動部材２３によって保持されうる。摺動部材２３は、支持部材２８によって摺動可能に支持され、一端がガイド部材２２に連結されている。   The evacuation mechanism 20 guides the container 1 so as to change the movement direction of the container 1 on the conveyor 10 (that is, along the movement path 14 of the container 1), and the guide member 22 of the conveyor 10. A support member (rotation shaft) 24 that is pivotally supported around an axis substantially orthogonal to the conveyance surface, and a restoring force generation mechanism that applies a restoring force to the guide member 14 are included. The restoring force generation mechanism may include a spring 26 disposed between the support member 28 and the guide member 22. The spring 26 can be held by the sliding member 23, for example. The sliding member 23 is slidably supported by a support member 28, and one end is connected to the guide member 22.

ガイド部材２２は、コンベア１０によって搬送されるコンベア１０上の容器１から受ける力に応じて回動或いは移動する。ガイド部材２２の回動角度或いは移動量は、容器１によってガイド部材２２に作用するモーメントとスプリング２６の復元力によってガイド部材２２に作用するモーメントとの釣り合いによって定まる。   The guide member 22 rotates or moves according to the force received from the containers 1 on the conveyor 10 conveyed by the conveyor 10. The rotation angle or movement amount of the guide member 22 is determined by the balance between the moment acting on the guide member 22 by the container 1 and the moment acting on the guide member 22 by the restoring force of the spring 26.

ビール瓶等のように円筒部を有し該円筒部の底面を底面とする容器１は、倒れていない状態（正立状態）の容器１とコンベア１０との摩擦力よりも倒れた状態の容器１とコンベア１０との摩擦力の方が弱くなる形状を有する。つまり、ビール瓶等の容器１は、倒れていない状態では、コンベア１０との間で相対的に強い摩擦力を生じさせ、倒れた状態では、コンベア１０との間で相対的に弱い摩擦力を生じさせる。   A container 1 having a cylindrical portion such as a beer bottle and having the bottom surface of the cylindrical portion as a bottom surface is a container 1 in a state of being tilted more than the friction force between the container 1 in an unfallen state (upright state) and the conveyor 10. And the conveyor 10 have a shape in which the frictional force becomes weaker. That is, the container 1 such as a beer bottle generates a relatively strong frictional force with the conveyor 10 in a state where it is not collapsed, and generates a relatively weak frictional force with the conveyor 10 in a state where it is collapsed. Let

したがって、このような容器１が搬送される場合において、ガイド部材２２の回動量は、倒れていない状態の容器１がコンベア１０による搬送に伴ってガイド部材２２によってガイドされるときよりも、倒れた状態の容器１’がコンベア１０による搬送に伴ってガイド部材２２によってガイドされるときの方が小さい。よって、図１、図２に例示的に示すように、倒れていない状態の容器１よりも倒れた状態の容器１’の方がガイド部材２２による移動経路の修正が大きくなされることが分かる。また、ガイド部材２２は、容器１から受ける力が小さくなった瞬間にスプリング２６の復元力によって排斥部７０側に回動しようとする。そのため、倒れていない状態の容器１を押し出すようにして倒れた状態の容器１’がガイド部材２２に送られてくると、その倒れた状態の容器１’は、ガイド部材２２によって排斥部７０方向に跳ね飛ばされて排斥部７０に排斥されることになる。   Therefore, when such a container 1 is transported, the amount of rotation of the guide member 22 has fallen more than when the container 1 in a state of not being tilted is guided by the guide member 22 as it is transported by the conveyor 10. It is smaller when the container 1 ′ in the state is guided by the guide member 22 as it is conveyed by the conveyor 10. Therefore, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that the correction of the movement path by the guide member 22 is larger in the container 1 ′ in the collapsed state than in the container 1 in the unfolded state. Further, the guide member 22 tends to rotate toward the evacuation part 70 by the restoring force of the spring 26 at the moment when the force received from the container 1 becomes small. Therefore, when the container 1 ′ that has fallen down is pushed to the guide member 22 so as to push out the container 1 that has not fallen down, the container 1 ′ that has fallen down is moved toward the evacuation part 70 by the guide member 22. And will be rejected by the rejecting part 70.

移動経路１４の第１側方Ａ側かつ排斥機構２０の下流方向には、排斥機構２０を通過したコンベア１０上の容器１をガイドする第１ガイド機構（ガイド部材）３０と、移動経路１４の第２側方Ｂ側かつ排斥機構２０の下流方向には、排斥機構２０を通過したコンベア１０上の容器１をガイドする第２ガイド機構４０とが備えられている。ここで、第２ガイド機構４０は、容器１を第１側方Ａ側に押圧しながらガイドするガイド部材４２を含み得る。ガイド部材４２によって容器１を第１側方Ａ側に押圧することによって、排斥機構２０を通過する際に排斥機構２０のガイド部材２２の回動量に応じて広がった移動経路を収束させて容器１を狭い移動経路内に整列させることができる。   A first guide mechanism (guide member) 30 that guides the containers 1 on the conveyor 10 that has passed through the evacuation mechanism 20 and a first guide mechanism (guide member) 30 that passes through the evacuation mechanism 20 on the first side A side of the movement path 14 and the downstream side of the evacuation mechanism 20. A second guide mechanism 40 that guides the containers 1 on the conveyor 10 that has passed through the rejection mechanism 20 is provided on the second side B side and in the downstream direction of the rejection mechanism 20. Here, the second guide mechanism 40 may include a guide member 42 that guides the container 1 while pressing the container 1 toward the first side A side. By pushing the container 1 to the first side A side by the guide member 42, the movement path widened in accordance with the rotation amount of the guide member 22 of the evacuation mechanism 20 when passing the evacuation mechanism 20 is converged, and the container 1. Can be aligned within a narrow path of travel.

ガイド部材４２は、コンベア１０上において倒れている容器１’が排斥機構２０によって排斥部７０に排斥されることを妨げないように、すなわち、容器１（１’）の幅よりも高い位置を移動するように構成されることが好ましい。これにより、倒れた容器１’は、ガイド部材４２の下を通り抜けて排斥部７０まで移動することができる。   The guide member 42 moves in a position higher than the width of the container 1 (1 ′) so as not to prevent the container 1 ′ that has fallen on the conveyor 10 from being discharged into the discharge portion 70 by the discharge mechanism 20. It is preferable to be configured to do so. As a result, the collapsed container 1 ′ can move under the guide member 42 and move to the evacuation unit 70.

ガイド部材４２は、例えば、軸支部材４６によってほぼ水平な軸の周りで回動可能に軸支されたアーム４４によって支持されて円軌道上を移動し得る。ガイド部材４２及びアーム４４を含む可動部は、その重量によって容器１を適当な押圧力で押圧することができるように、その重量が決定されることが好ましい。勿論、モーターやエアーシリンダ等のアクチュエータや、スプリング等によってガイド部材４２に押圧力を提供することもできる。   For example, the guide member 42 can be supported by an arm 44 that is pivotally supported around a substantially horizontal axis by a shaft support member 46 and can move on a circular track. The weight of the movable part including the guide member 42 and the arm 44 is preferably determined so that the container 1 can be pressed with an appropriate pressing force by the weight. Of course, the pressing force can be provided to the guide member 42 by an actuator such as a motor or an air cylinder, a spring, or the like.

以上のように、この実施形態によれば、きわめて簡単な構成の排斥機構２０によって、コンベア１０上の倒れた容器１を排斥部７０に排斥することができる。しかも、排斥機構２０の復元力発生機構をスプリング２６で構成することにより、アクチュエータやそれを制御する装置を必要とせず、また、それらを動作させるための電力等も必要としない。また、倒れた状態と倒れていない状態における容器１とコンベア１０との間の摩擦力の差（ガイド部材２２が受ける力）を利用して倒れている容器を選択的に排斥する方式によれば、ＣＣＤカメラや画像処理装置等で構成されるような電気的なセンサが不要であり、きわめて低コストで除去装置を構成することができる。   As described above, according to this embodiment, the container 1 that has fallen on the conveyor 10 can be discharged to the discharge portion 70 by the discharge mechanism 20 having a very simple configuration. In addition, since the restoring force generating mechanism of the evacuation mechanism 20 is configured by the spring 26, an actuator and a device for controlling the actuator are not required, and electric power for operating them is not required. Further, according to the method of selectively rejecting a container that has fallen using the difference in frictional force between the container 1 and the conveyor 10 (the force received by the guide member 22) between the collapsed state and the unfallen state. Further, an electrical sensor such as a CCD camera or an image processing device is not necessary, and a removal device can be configured at a very low cost.
