本発明の一実施形態である容器搬送システムを、図面を参照して説明する。
図１は容器搬送システムの概略構成を示し、導入ホイル（第１搬送手段）１１とフィラ（第２搬送手段）１２と排出ホイル（第１搬送手段）１３を備える。導入ホイル１１は供給コンベヤ１４によって搬送されてきた容器を１つずつ受け取り、矢印Ａ方向に回動してフィラ１２に受け渡す。フィラ１２は矢印Ｂ方向に回動しつつ容器に液体を充填し、容器を排出ホイル１３に受け渡す。排出ホイル１３は矢印Ｃ方向に回動して容器を１つずつ排出コンベヤ１５に受け渡し、排出コンベヤ１５は容器を次の工程へ搬送する。 A container transport system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a container transport system, which includes an introduction foil (first transport means) 11, a filler (second transport means) 12, and a discharge foil (first transport means) 13. The introduction foil 11 receives the containers conveyed by the supply conveyor 14 one by one, rotates in the direction of arrow A, and delivers them to the filler 12. Filler 12 fills the container with liquid while rotating in the direction of arrow B, and delivers the container to discharge foil 13. The discharge foil 13 is rotated in the direction of arrow C to transfer the containers one by one to the discharge conveyor 15, and the discharge conveyor 15 conveys the containers to the next process.

図２は導入ホイル１１の構成を概略的に示し、図１において左上から導入ホイル１１を見た状態であり、導入ホイル１１からフィラ１２へ容器Ｘを受け渡す位置を示している。円板状の回転ホイル２１は支持本体２２に支持され、図示しない駆動源により駆動されて支持本体２２を中心に回転する。回転ホイル２１の周縁部に沿って第１グリッパ２３が一定間隔毎に設けられる。第１グリッパ２３は容器Ｘの首部を挟持するために設けられ、後述するようにカムによって開閉駆動される。   FIG. 2 schematically shows the configuration of the introduction foil 11. FIG. 2 shows a state where the introduction foil 11 is viewed from the upper left in FIG. 1, and shows a position where the container X is delivered from the introduction foil 11 to the filler 12. The disc-shaped rotating foil 21 is supported by a support body 22 and is driven by a drive source (not shown) to rotate around the support body 22. A first gripper 23 is provided at regular intervals along the peripheral edge of the rotating wheel 21. The first gripper 23 is provided to hold the neck portion of the container X, and is opened and closed by a cam as will be described later.

第１グリッパ２３の支持軸２４は回転ホイル２１の周縁部に設けられ、第１グリッパ２３は支持軸２４の軸心周りに回動して開閉する。支持軸２４の下端には連結部材２５の先端が固定され、連結部材２５の他端にはカムフォロア２６が設けられる。カムフォロア２６は、第１および第２カム３１、３２に係合可能であり、第１および第２カム３１、３２は、図示しない支持台に取付けられたエアシリンダ（移動手段）３３、３４によって進退駆動される。   The support shaft 24 of the first gripper 23 is provided at the peripheral edge of the rotary wheel 21, and the first gripper 23 rotates around the axis of the support shaft 24 to open and close. A distal end of the connecting member 25 is fixed to the lower end of the support shaft 24, and a cam follower 26 is provided at the other end of the connecting member 25. The cam follower 26 can be engaged with the first and second cams 31, 32, and the first and second cams 31, 32 are advanced and retracted by air cylinders (moving means) 33, 34 attached to a support base (not shown). Driven.

回転ホイル２１に取り付けられた支持部材２７の下端には、バネ２８の一端が連結される。バネ２８の他端は、連結部材２５の端部に固定されたピン２９に連結される。バネ２８は常時連結部材２５を、カムフォロア２６が回転ホイル２１の中心側に近づく方向、すなわち第１グリッパ２３が閉じる方向に付勢する。   One end of a spring 28 is connected to the lower end of the support member 27 attached to the rotating wheel 21. The other end of the spring 28 is connected to a pin 29 fixed to the end of the connecting member 25. The spring 28 constantly biases the connecting member 25 in a direction in which the cam follower 26 approaches the center side of the rotating wheel 21, that is, in a direction in which the first gripper 23 is closed.

第１グリッパ２３は一対の把持部材４１、４２（図３、４参照）を有する。これらの把持部材４１、４２は図示しないギアを介して連動し、カムフォロア２６の変位に応じて開閉する。すなわち把持部材４１、４２は、カムフォロア２６が第１または第２カム３１、３２に係合することにより開閉し、容器Ｘを挟持または開放する。   The first gripper 23 has a pair of gripping members 41 and 42 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). These gripping members 41 and 42 are interlocked via a gear (not shown) and open and close according to the displacement of the cam follower 26. That is, the gripping members 41 and 42 are opened and closed when the cam follower 26 is engaged with the first or second cams 31 and 32, and the container X is sandwiched or opened.

フィラ１２にも同様に、回転ホイル５１の周縁部に沿って第２グリッパ５２が一定間隔毎に設けられる。第２グリッパ５２は従来公知のように、板バネ５３（図３、４参照）の弾性力によって容器を挟持するように構成されている。   Similarly, the filler 12 is provided with second grippers 52 at regular intervals along the peripheral edge of the rotating wheel 51. As is conventionally known, the second gripper 52 is configured to sandwich the container by the elastic force of the leaf spring 53 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

第１および第２カム３１、３２は回転ホイル２１の下方であってフィラ１２に近接した部分、すなわち容器Ｘの受け渡し位置に設けられる。図３、４に示されるように、第１および第２カム３１、３２の外周面は共に、回転ホイル２１の軸心を中心とする円弧を若干変形させた形状を呈する。容器Ｘは第１グリッパ２３に挟持されて、図３、４において上方から矢印Ａに沿って搬送され、第１および第２カム３１、３２よりも上流側には固定カム３５が設けられる。固定カム３５は回転ホイル２１の軸心を中心とする円弧状の板部材であり、供給コンベヤ１４（図１参照）の最下流部分から第１および第２カム３１、３２の近傍まで延びる。   The first and second cams 31 and 32 are provided below the rotating wheel 21 and in the vicinity of the filler 12, that is, at the delivery position of the container X. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second cams 31 and 32 both have a shape obtained by slightly deforming an arc centered on the axis of the rotating wheel 21. The container X is sandwiched by the first gripper 23 and is conveyed along the arrow A from above in FIGS. 3 and 4, and a fixed cam 35 is provided upstream of the first and second cams 31 and 32. The fixed cam 35 is an arc-shaped plate member centered on the axis of the rotating wheel 21 and extends from the most downstream portion of the supply conveyor 14 (see FIG. 1) to the vicinity of the first and second cams 31 and 32.

第１および第２カム３１、３２は選択的に前進してカムフォロア２６に係合可能な位置に定められる。第１カム３１は相対的に口径の小さい首部を有する小径容器を搬送するときに用いられ、第２カム３２は相対的に口径の大きい首部を有する大径容器を搬送するときに用いられる。第１カム３１が前進位置にあるとき、図３に示されるように、第１カム３１の上流側端部の外周面は固定カム３５の外周面に連続する。第１カム３１の外周面は、上流側端部よりも所定量だけ下流の部分において内側へ凹み、それよりも下流側では外方へ膨らんでいる。この曲面に沿ってカムフォロア２６が移動することにより、第１グリッパ２３が開放する。   The first and second cams 31 and 32 are set at positions where the first and second cams 31 and 32 can selectively move forward and engage with the cam follower 26. The first cam 31 is used when transporting a small-diameter container having a neck having a relatively small diameter, and the second cam 32 is used when transporting a large-diameter container having a neck having a relatively large diameter. When the first cam 31 is in the forward position, the outer peripheral surface of the upstream end of the first cam 31 is continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam 35 as shown in FIG. The outer peripheral surface of the first cam 31 is recessed inward at a portion downstream by a predetermined amount from the upstream end portion, and bulges outward at the downstream side. When the cam follower 26 moves along this curved surface, the first gripper 23 is opened.

第２カム３２は、第１カム３１が前進位置にあるときは後退しているが（図３）、大径容器の搬送時に前進位置に定められ（図４）、この状態において第２カム３２の上流側端部の外周面は固定カム３５の外周面に連続する。第２カム３２は、上流側端部よりも所定量だけ下流の部分において内側へ凹み、それよりも下流側では外方へ膨らんでいる。   The second cam 32 is retracted when the first cam 31 is in the forward position (FIG. 3), but is set at the forward position when the large-diameter container is transported (FIG. 4). The outer peripheral surface of the upstream end portion of this is continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cam 35. The second cam 32 is recessed inward at a portion downstream from the upstream end by a predetermined amount, and bulges outward at the downstream side.

次に本実施形態の作用について説明する。本実施形態においてフィラ１２において液体を充填される容器は２種類あり、１つは首部の外径が例えば２５〜３５ミリの大径容器、他は首部の外径が大径容器よりも数ミリ程度小さい小径容器である。これらの容器は共に首部にフランジが形成され、第１グリッパ２３は容器の首部をフランジよりも上側において挟持し、第２グリッパ５２は容器の首部をフランジよりも下側において挟持するが、これに替えて第１グリッパ２３がフランジの下側を挟持し、第２グリッパ５２がフランジの上側を挟持するようにしてもよい。なお、排出ホイル１３に関しては詳述しないが、容器の受け渡し動作は導入ホイル１１と同様である。   Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, there are two types of containers filled with liquid in the filler 12, one is a large-diameter container whose neck has an outer diameter of, for example, 25 to 35 mm, and the other is a few millimeters whose neck has an outer diameter that is larger than a large-diameter container It is a small-diameter container that is about small. Both of these containers have a flange at the neck, the first gripper 23 holds the neck of the container above the flange, and the second gripper 52 holds the neck of the container below the flange. Alternatively, the first gripper 23 may sandwich the lower side of the flange, and the second gripper 52 may sandwich the upper side of the flange. Although the discharge foil 13 is not described in detail, the container delivery operation is the same as that of the introduction foil 11.

小径容器の搬送では、図３に示すように第１カム３１が前進位置に定められ、第２カム３２は後退位置にある。第１グリッパ２３は供給コンベヤ１４から受け取った容器Ｘを首部において挟持し、回転ホイル２１の回転により、矢印Ａに沿って搬送する。容器Ｘが回転ホイル２１、５１の接点Ｐに来たとき、第１グリッパ２３に挟持された容器Ｘはフィラ１２の第２グリッパ５２に押し込まれて係合する。   In the conveyance of the small-diameter container, as shown in FIG. 3, the first cam 31 is set at the forward movement position, and the second cam 32 is at the backward movement position. The first gripper 23 holds the container X received from the supply conveyor 14 at the neck, and conveys the container X along the arrow A by the rotation of the rotating wheel 21. When the container X comes to the contact point P of the rotating wheels 21 and 51, the container X sandwiched between the first grippers 23 is pushed into the second gripper 52 of the filler 12 to be engaged therewith.

回転ホイル２１がさらに回転すると、カムフォロア２６が第１カム３１によって外側へ押され、これにより第１グリッパ２３が開放し、容器Ｘはフィラ１２の第２グリッパ５２のみに保持される。これにより容器Ｘはフィラ１２に受け渡され、液体が充填される。フィラ１２から排出ホイル１３への受け渡しは、第１グリッパ２３から第２グリッパ５２への受け渡しとは逆の動作である。すなわち第２グリッパ５２により保持されている容器Ｘに、排出ホイル１３の開放状態のグリッパが接近し、閉塞して容器Ｘの首部を挟持し、排出コンベヤ１５まで搬送する。   When the rotating wheel 21 further rotates, the cam follower 26 is pushed outward by the first cam 31, whereby the first gripper 23 is opened, and the container X is held only by the second gripper 52 of the filler 12. As a result, the container X is delivered to the filler 12 and filled with liquid. The delivery from the filler 12 to the discharge foil 13 is the reverse of the delivery from the first gripper 23 to the second gripper 52. In other words, the gripper in the opened state of the discharge foil 13 approaches the container X held by the second gripper 52, closes, holds the neck of the container X, and conveys it to the discharge conveyor 15.

大径容器の搬送では、図４（ａ）に示すように第２カム３２が前進位置に定められ、第１カム３１は後退位置にある。容器Ｘは、回転ホイル２１、５１の接点Ｐよりも若干上流の位置まで搬送されてきたとき、フィラ１２の第２グリッパ５２に押し込まれて係合する。これと略同時に、第２カム３２の作用により、第１グリッパ２３は開放し始める。このように接点Ｐよりも上流において容器Ｘの受け渡しを行うのは、容器Ｘの首部の外径が小径容器よりも大きいので、容器Ｘの中心が移動する軌跡は小径容器よりも相対的に大きい円であり、接点Ｐよりも上流において容器Ｘが第２グリッパ５２に接近するからである。   In the conveyance of the large-diameter container, as shown in FIG. 4A, the second cam 32 is set at the forward movement position, and the first cam 31 is at the backward movement position. When the container X has been transported to a position slightly upstream of the contact point P of the rotating foils 21 and 51, the container X is pushed into the second gripper 52 of the filler 12 to be engaged therewith. At substantially the same time, the first gripper 23 starts to open due to the action of the second cam 32. In this way, the container X is delivered upstream of the contact point P because the outer diameter of the neck of the container X is larger than that of the small-diameter container, and thus the locus of movement of the center of the container X is relatively larger than that of the small-diameter container. This is because the container X approaches the second gripper 52 upstream of the contact point P.

回転ホイル２１がさらに回転して容器Ｘが接点Ｐへ達すると、図４（ｂ）に示すように第１グリッパ２３は完全に容器Ｘを開放し、容器Ｘはフィラ１２の第２グリッパ５２のみによって保持される。この後、容器Ｘはさらに図の下方へ搬送され、第１グリッパ２３はさらに開放して容器Ｘは第１グリッパ２３から離脱し、受け渡し動作は完了する。   When the rotating foil 21 further rotates and the container X reaches the contact P, the first gripper 23 completely opens the container X as shown in FIG. 4B, and the container X is only the second gripper 52 of the filler 12. Held by. Thereafter, the container X is further conveyed downward in the drawing, the first gripper 23 is further opened, and the container X is detached from the first gripper 23, and the delivery operation is completed.

フィラ１２から排出ホイル１３への受け渡しは、第１グリッパ２３から第２グリッパ５２への受け渡しとは逆の動作である。すなわち排出ホイル１３のグリッパは、回転ホイル２１との接点よりも下流側において、第２グリッパ５２に保持された容器Ｘに接近し、閉塞して受取り、容器Ｘの首部を挟持して排出コンベヤ１５まで搬送する。   The delivery from the filler 12 to the discharge foil 13 is the reverse of the delivery from the first gripper 23 to the second gripper 52. That is, the gripper of the discharge foil 13 approaches the container X held by the second gripper 52 on the downstream side of the contact point with the rotating wheel 21, closes and receives it, and sandwiches the neck of the container X to discharge the conveyor 15. Transport to.

以上のように本実施形態では、グリッパ２３、５２によって保持される首部の外径が異なる複数種類の容器に対して、フィラ１２と導入ホイル１１または排出ホイル１３との間における受け渡しを正常に行うことができる。例えば、フィラ１２において通常充填処理される容器の首部よりも大径の首部を有する容器に対して充填処理を行う場合であっても、グリッパを交換することなく、カム３１、３２の切替えのみを行えばよい。したがって容器の種類が変更になったときの切替え作業は簡単かつ短時間で実行できる。   As described above, in this embodiment, the delivery between the filler 12 and the introduction foil 11 or the discharge foil 13 is normally performed with respect to a plurality of types of containers having different neck outer diameters held by the grippers 23 and 52. be able to. For example, even when the filling process is performed on a container having a neck portion larger in diameter than the neck part of the container normally filled in the filler 12, only the cams 31 and 32 are switched without replacing the gripper. Just do it. Therefore, the switching operation when the type of container is changed can be executed easily and in a short time.

上記実施形態では、小径容器と大径容器の搬送のために第１カム３１と第２カム３２を設けていたが、カムは１つだけでもよい。この場合の構成を図４を参照して説明すると、カム３２を回転ホイル２１（図２）の中心軸を中心として回転変位するようにすればよい。すなわちカム３２は、大径容器を搬送するときは図４の位置にあり、小径容器を搬送するときは、カム３２を反時計周りに変位させ、カム３２の凹み部分３２ａを図の下方へ移して、接点Ｐにおいて第１グリッパ２３が容器を開放し始めるようにすればよい。   In the above embodiment, the first cam 31 and the second cam 32 are provided for conveying the small-diameter container and the large-diameter container, but only one cam may be provided. The configuration in this case will be described with reference to FIG. 4. The cam 32 may be rotationally displaced about the central axis of the rotating wheel 21 (FIG. 2). That is, the cam 32 is at the position shown in FIG. 4 when transporting the large-diameter container, and when transporting the small-diameter container, the cam 32 is displaced counterclockwise, and the recessed portion 32a of the cam 32 is moved downward in the figure. Thus, the first gripper 23 may begin to open the container at the contact point P.
