Description

本発明は、挿着対象物にシートを挿着するシート挿着装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a sheet inserting equipment for inserting the sheet into insertion object.

従来、ラベルのネック挿通孔を容器の首部に挿通させることで容器にラベルを取り付けるラベル供給取付装置が利用されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。このラベル供給取付装置では、ラベル用駆動モータの駆動でラベルを搬送し、ラベル検出センサがラベルの通過を検出すると、制御回路は、ラベルの後端部を一対のローラ間に保持させた状態にし、ラベル用駆動モータの制御によりラベル取付位置の手前で停止させる。この状態では、ラベルの両側部がラベル取付手段の一対のラベル折り曲げ部材に当たって、下方に傾斜している。
そして、ボトル用駆動モータの駆動により搬送中の容器がラベル取付位置の手前まで搬送されたことを容器感知センサで感知すると、制御回路は、容器の首部がラベル折り曲げ部材間を通過するタイミングに合わせて、容器の首部がラベルのネック挿通孔に入るように、ボトル用駆動モータとラベル用駆動モータを同期させて制御する。
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a label supply / attachment device that attaches a label to a container by inserting a neck insertion hole of the label through the neck of the container has been used (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this label supply and attachment device, when the label is driven by the drive motor for the label and the label detection sensor detects the passage of the label, the control circuit sets the rear end of the label between the pair of rollers. Then, it is stopped before the label mounting position by the control of the label driving motor. In this state, both side portions of the label hit the pair of label bending members of the label attaching means and are inclined downward.
When the container sensor detects that the container being transported has been transported just before the label mounting position by driving the bottle drive motor, the control circuit matches the timing at which the neck of the container passes between the label folding members. Thus, the bottle driving motor and the label driving motor are controlled in synchronization so that the neck of the container enters the label neck insertion hole.

A stopper 75 is provided to prevent the sliding-off.

以下、ボトルBへのシートSの挿着方法として、シート挿着装置1の動作手順を説明する。
まず、一対の位置決め部21の間に複数枚のシートSを挿入すると、最下部のシートSが受けテーブル22の上面に支持され準備が完了する。そして、電源が供給されると、押出手段30が押出板31を左方向にスライドさせることで、受けテーブル22の上面に支持されたシートSを移送手段40方向に押し、移送手段40は、モータ44を駆動させて図1に示すようにシートSを左方向に搬送する。次いで、搬送されたシートSは、図2に示すように、シート支持手段60に受け入れられ、支持部材61で支持されてスタンバイ状態となる。そして、搬送手段50によってボトルBが搬送され、図1の実線で示すように一対の挿通手段70の間に到達すると、図示しないセンサによって検出されてボトルBの搬送が停止される。
Hereinafter, an operation procedure of the sheet inserting apparatus 1 will be described as a method for inserting the sheet S into the bottle B.
First, when a plurality of sheets S are inserted between the pair of positioning portions 21, the lowermost sheet S is supported on the upper surface of the receiving table 22 and the preparation is completed. When the power is supplied, the pushing means 30 slides the pushing plate 31 in the left direction to push the sheet S supported on the upper surface of the receiving table 22 in the direction of the feeding means 40. 44 is driven and the sheet S is conveyed leftward as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the conveyed sheet S is received by the sheet support means 60, supported by the support member 61, and enters a standby state. Then, when the bottle B is transported by the transport means 50 and reaches between the pair of insertion means 70 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the transport of the bottle B is stopped by being detected by a sensor (not shown).

次に、挿着手段5は、モータ73を駆動し、一対の無端ベルト72を回転させて支持部材61に支持されたシートSを下方向に移動させ、図2の二点鎖線で示すように、挿通孔S1をボトルBのネック部B3に挿通する。そして、さらに無端ベルト72の回転が継続されシートSが下方に移動すると、挿通孔S1がショルダ部B2の上端に当接してシートSの下方への移動が規制される。
なお、下側のプーリ71がボトルBの基部B4よりも下方に設けられているため、支持部材61および対向部材62は、無端ベルト72の回転に伴い、ショルダ部B2から徐々に離れながら下方に移動する。このため、シートSの挿通孔S1近傍部分は、ボトルBのショルダ部B2により下方への移動が規制されるものの、シート支持手段60で支持されている端部は、下方に移動する対向部材62により押し下げられる。そして、この押し下げにより、シートSは、折曲線S2で折曲される。つまり、挿通手段70を折曲手段として機能させる。
Next, the inserting means 5 drives the motor 73 to rotate the pair of endless belts 72 to move the sheet S supported by the support member 61 downward, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The insertion hole S1 is inserted into the neck B3 of the bottle B. When the rotation of the endless belt 72 is further continued and the sheet S moves downward, the insertion hole S1 comes into contact with the upper end of the shoulder portion B2, and the downward movement of the sheet S is restricted.
Since the lower pulley 71 is provided below the base B4 of the bottle B, the support member 61 and the opposing member 62 are moved downward while gradually separating from the shoulder B2 as the endless belt 72 rotates. Moving. For this reason, although the downward movement of the portion near the insertion hole S1 of the sheet S is restricted by the shoulder portion B2 of the bottle B, the end portion supported by the sheet support means 60 has an opposing member 62 that moves downward. Is pushed down by. And by this depression, the sheet | seat S is bent by the folding line S2. That is, the insertion means 70 functions as a bending means.

このシートSの挿着完了後も、制御手段9は、無端ベルト72の回転を継続し、図示しないセンサにより、シートSを挿着したシート支持手段60に対して無端ベルト72の回転方向の反対側に位置するシート支持手段60が、移送手段40のシート搬送方向の延長線上に位置した状態、つまり、シート支持手段60が移送手段40のシート搬送径路と、シート支持手段60のシート受入径路とが一致した状態となったことを検知すると、無端ベルト72の回転を停止させる。
この後、シートSが挿着されたボトルBは、搬送手段50により左側に搬送され、以降上記同様の動作が繰り返される。
Even after the insertion of the sheet S is completed, the control means 9 continues to rotate the endless belt 72, and the rotation direction of the endless belt 72 is opposite to the sheet support means 60 to which the sheet S is inserted by a sensor (not shown). The sheet support means 60 located on the side is positioned on an extension line of the transport means 40 in the sheet transport direction, that is, the sheet support means 60 is a sheet transport path of the transport means 40 and a sheet receiving path of the sheet support means 60. Is detected, the rotation of the endless belt 72 is stopped.
Thereafter, the bottle B in which the sheet S is inserted is conveyed to the left by the conveying means 50, and thereafter the same operation as described above is repeated.

以上のような本実施形態によれば、次のような効果がある。
すなわち、シートSをボトルBにおけるネック部B3の基部B4方向に移動させるので、ボトルBとシートSの移動を同期させる必要がなく、ボトルBにシートSを確実に挿着できる。
According to this embodiment as described above, the following effects are obtained.
That is, since the sheet S is moved in the direction of the base B4 of the neck B3 in the bottle B, it is not necessary to synchronize the movement of the bottle B and the sheet S, and the sheet S can be reliably inserted into the bottle B.

〔第2実施形態〕
次に、本発明の第2実施形態を図3、図4に基づいて説明する。
本実施形態のシート挿着装置1Aには、第1実施形態のシート挿着装置1の繰出手段2と、挿着手段5とがボトルBの搬送方向に対して傾斜した状態に設けられ、さらに、ボトルBに挿着されたシートSを折曲線S2で折曲する折曲手段80が設けられている。なお、支持部材61と対向部材62の前方側端部には、滑落防止手段としてのブラシ63が設けられており、傾斜して支持されるシートSの滑落が防止される構成となっている。そして、シートSをボトルBの搬送方向に対して傾斜した状態で静止させておくことで、搬送されるボトルBにシートSを挿着するものである。移送手段40は、シートSを第1の方向つまり左下方向に搬送して挿着手段5に受け渡し、挿通手段70は、支持手段60を第2の方向つまり右下方に移動可能に設けられている。
[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the sheet inserting apparatus 1A of the present embodiment, the feeding means 2 and the inserting means 5 of the sheet inserting apparatus 1 of the first embodiment are provided in an inclined state with respect to the conveyance direction of the bottle B, and A folding means 80 for folding the sheet S inserted in the bottle B along the folding line S2 is provided. Note that brushes 63 as slip-preventing means are provided at the front end portions of the support member 61 and the opposing member 62 so that the sheet S supported by being inclined is prevented from slipping. And the sheet | seat S is inserted in the bottle B conveyed by making the sheet | seat S stand still in the state inclined with respect to the conveyance direction of the bottle B. FIG. The transfer means 40 conveys the sheet S in the first direction, that is, the lower left direction and delivers it to the insertion means 5, and the insertion means 70 is provided so that the support means 60 can move in the second direction, that is, lower right. .

折曲手段80は、図3に示すように、挿通手段70よりも前方に設けられた一対の折曲板81を備えている。この折曲板81は、下端がボトルBの本体部B1の上端側に位置し、かつ、上端がネック部B3の上端側に位置するように設けられている。また、折曲板81は、これらの間をボトルBが通過可能、かつ、前方に向かうにしたがって互いの間隔が小さくなるように設けられている(図6参照)。   As shown in FIG. 3, the bending means 80 includes a pair of bending plates 81 provided in front of the insertion means 70. The bent plate 81 is provided such that the lower end is located on the upper end side of the main body B1 of the bottle B and the upper end is located on the upper end side of the neck portion B3. Further, the bent plate 81 is provided so that the bottle B can pass between them and the distance between them becomes smaller toward the front (see FIG. 6).

以下、ボトルBへのシートSの挿着方法として、シート挿着装置1Aの動作手順を図5および図6も参照して説明する。
まず、一対の位置決め部21の間に複数枚のシートSを挿入すると、最下部のシートSが受けテーブル22の上面に支持され準備が完了する。そして、電源が供給されると、押出手段30が押出板31を左下側にスライドさせることで、受けテーブル22の上面に支持されたシートSを移送手段40方向に押し、移送手段40は、モータ44を駆動させて図3に示すようにシートSを左下側に搬送する。次いで、搬送されたシートSは、図4に示すように、シート支持手段60に受け入れられ、ブラシ63と支持部材61とで支持される。次に、挿通手段70がモータ73を駆動し、無端ベルト72を回転させ、挿通孔S1がキャップCおよびネック部B3の移動経路上に位置するように、シートSを右下方に移動させスタンバイ状態となる。そして、搬送手段50によってボトルBが搬送されてくると、図5(A)に示すように、キャップCの搬送方向先端側が挿通孔S1内に当接した後、さらなるボトルBの搬送によって、シートSが搬送方向に引っ張られ、ブラシ63の支持力に抗して、図5(B)に示すように、シートSがボトルBに挿着される。
この後、図6(A)に示す状態となり、シートSが挿着されたボトルBがさらに搬送されると、図6(B)に示すように、シートSの搬送方向先端側の端部が折曲板81に当接して下方に折り曲げられ、折曲板81間を通過すると、図6(C)に示すように、シートSが折曲線S2で折り曲げられた状態となる。
この後、シートSが挿着されたボトルBは、搬送手段50により左側に搬送され、以降上記同様の動作が繰り返される。
Hereinafter, as a method of inserting the sheet S into the bottle B, the operation procedure of the sheet inserting apparatus 1A will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, when a plurality of sheets S are inserted between the pair of positioning portions 21, the lowermost sheet S is supported on the upper surface of the receiving table 22 and the preparation is completed. When the power is supplied, the pushing means 30 slides the pushing plate 31 to the lower left side to push the sheet S supported on the upper surface of the receiving table 22 toward the feeding means 40, and the feeding means 40 is a motor. 44 is driven to convey the sheet S to the lower left side as shown in FIG. Next, the conveyed sheet S is received by the sheet support means 60 and supported by the brush 63 and the support member 61 as shown in FIG. Next, the insertion means 70 drives the motor 73, rotates the endless belt 72, and moves the seat S to the lower right so that the insertion hole S1 is positioned on the movement path of the cap C and the neck portion B3. It becomes.

また、対向部材62を支持部材61に対して進退可能な構成とし、シートSを対向部材62で支持部材61に押し付けることで保持してもよい。
さらに、挿通手段70として、無端ベルト72の回転により支持部材61を循環させる構成を例示したが、支持部材61を図1中上下方向、あるいは図3中斜め方向に往復移動させる構成としてもよい。
また、第2実施形態において、ブラシ63の代わりに、支持部材61の上面の摩擦力を大きくすることでシートSの滑落を防止してもよい。
さらに、前記実施形態では、挿着対象物としてボトルBを例示したが、家電製品や人形など、本体部上部から突出する凸部を有するものであれば、いずれの挿着対象物を対象としてもよい。
また、実施形態では、ネック部B3が上方となった状態でボトルBが搬送される場合を例示したが、ネック部B3が横向きや、下向きで搬送されるものにでも対応が可能である。ネック部B3が下向きに搬送される場合、挿通孔S1の直径をキャップCの直径よりも少し小さくしたりして抜け防止対策をすればよい。
前記実施形態における駆動機器は、回動モータ、直動モータ、リニアモータ、単軸ロボット、多関節ロボット等の電動機器、エアシリンダ、油圧シリンダ、ロッドレスシリンダ及びロータリシリンダ等のアクチュエータ等を採用することができる上、それらを直接的又は間接的に組み合せたものを採用することもできる(実施形態で例示したものと重複するものもある)。
For example, the insertion means 70 may not function as the bending means in the first embodiment, and a folding means for folding the sheet S along the folding line S2 may be provided separately. When the bending means is separately provided as described above, the opposing member 62 may not be provided. In the first and second embodiments, the bending means may not be provided.
Further, the opposing member 62 may be configured to be able to advance and retract with respect to the support member 61, and the sheet S may be held by being pressed against the support member 61 by the opposing member 62.
Furthermore, although the structure which circulates the support member 61 by rotation of the endless belt 72 was illustrated as the insertion means 70, it is good also as a structure which reciprocates the support member 61 in the up-down direction in FIG. 1, or the diagonal direction in FIG.
In the second embodiment, instead of the brush 63, the sliding force of the sheet S may be prevented by increasing the frictional force on the upper surface of the support member 61.
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the bottle B was illustrated as an insertion target object, if it has a convex part which protrudes from a main-body part top part, such as household appliances and a doll, any insertion target object is made into object. Good.
Moreover, although the case where the bottle B was conveyed in the state in which the neck part B3 became upper was illustrated in embodiment, it can respond also to what the neck part B3 is conveyed sideways or downward. When the neck portion B3 is transported downward, the diameter of the insertion hole S1 may be made slightly smaller than the diameter of the cap C to take measures to prevent it from coming off.
The drive device in the embodiment employs an electric device such as a rotation motor, a linear motion motor, a linear motor, a single axis robot, an articulated robot, an actuator such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a rodless cylinder, and a rotary cylinder. In addition, it is possible to adopt a combination of them directly or indirectly (some of them overlap with those exemplified in the embodiment).
