しかし特許文献１の構成では、グルーピングコンベヤと同期して移動する多数のシュートや、これらを移動するための機構が必要となるため装置が大型化するとともにその機構も複雑となる。   However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, a large number of chutes that move in synchronism with the grouping conveyor and a mechanism for moving these chutes are required, which increases the size of the apparatus and makes the mechanism complicated.

本発明は、搬送される物品間の前後の隙間に板状部材を挿入する板状部材の挿入装置を小型化することを目的としている。   An object of the present invention is to reduce the size of a plate-like member insertion device that inserts a plate-like member into a front and rear gap between articles to be conveyed.

本発明の板状部材の挿入装置は、物品を搬送する搬送コンベヤと、この搬送コンベヤで搬送される物品の前後間に間隙を形成する拡開手段と、受け取り位置で受け取った板状部材を挿入位置まで保持する保持手段と、挿入位置の上方に配置され、挿入位置まで保持された板状部材を上方から押圧する押圧手段とを備え、保持手段が挿入位置で板状部材の保持を解除するとともに、押圧手段が下降して板状部材を落下させることにより拡開手段によって形成された物品の前後間の間隙に板状部材が上方から挿入されることを特徴としている。 Insertion device of the plate-like member of the present invention includes a conveyor for conveying the articles, and expanding means for forming a gap between the front and rear of the articles conveyed by the conveyor, the plate-like member received in accepted takes position holding means for holding a to the insertion position, is disposed above the insertion position, and a pressing means for pressing the plate-like member held to the insertion position from above, the holding of the plate-like member retained means in the insertion position with releasing the plate-like member in the gap between the front and rear of the article formed by expanding means by the pressing means dropping the plate member descends it is characterized Rukoto be inserted from above.

また、本発明の板状部材の挿入装置は、押圧手段の押し下げ位置を板状部材の形状に応じて上下に変更可能とすることが好ましい。
Moreover, it is preferable that the insertion apparatus of the plate-shaped member of this invention can change the push- down position of a press means up and down according to the shape of a plate-shaped member.

本発明によれば、搬送される物品間の前後の隙間に板状部材を挿入する板状部材の挿入装置を小型化することができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the insertion apparatus of the plate-shaped member which inserts a plate-shaped member in the clearance gap between the articles | goods conveyed can be reduced in size.

本発明の一実施形態である板状部材の挿入装置を用いた搬送物品のグルーピングを行うシステムの構成を示す模式的な側面図である。It is a typical side view which shows the structure of the system which performs grouping of the conveyance article using the plate-shaped member insertion apparatus which is one Embodiment of this invention. 図１の板状部材の挿入装置に関わる主要な構成を示す平面図である。It is a top view which shows the main structures in connection with the plate-shaped member insertion apparatus of FIG. 受渡装置と押圧装置の詳細な構成を示す拡大側面図である。It is an enlarged side view which shows the detailed structure of a delivery apparatus and a press apparatus.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を、図面を参照して説明する。図１は、本発明の一実施形態である板状部材の挿入装置を適用した搬送物品のグルーピングを行うシステムの構成を示す側面図である。図２は、図１のシステムにおいて板状部材の挿入装置に関わる主要な構成を示す平面図である。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a configuration of a system for grouping transported articles to which a plate-like member insertion device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a main configuration related to the plate-like member insertion device in the system of FIG.

本実施形態において、物品Ｍは例えばドリンク瓶であり、搬送コンベヤ１０上を図１において左から右へ多列（本実施形態では例えば幅方向に横６列）で連続搬送される。搬送コンベヤ１０は、例えば各列の物品Ｍを各々連続搬送する複数のトップチェーンで構成され、本実施形態では６台のトップチェーンが搬送コンベヤ１０の幅方向に並べて配置される。搬送コンベヤ１０の下方には、物品Ｍの各列において隣り合う物品Ｍ同士を前後（搬送方向）に所定間隔で離間させるロータリホイール（拡開手段）１２が配置される。   In the present embodiment, the article M is, for example, a drink bottle, and is continuously conveyed on the conveyor 10 in multiple rows (in this embodiment, for example, 6 rows in the width direction) from left to right in FIG. The transport conveyor 10 is composed of, for example, a plurality of top chains that continuously transport each row of articles M. In the present embodiment, six top chains are arranged side by side in the width direction of the transport conveyor 10. Below the conveyor 10, a rotary wheel (expansion means) 12 that separates adjacent articles M in each row of articles M forward and backward (conveying direction) at a predetermined interval is disposed.

ロータリホイール１２は、搬送コンベヤ１０の幅方向に向けて配置される水平軸１４周りに回転する回転体１６を備え、回転体１６の外周部には、円周方向等間隔で複数のストッパピン１８が設けられる。ストッパピン１８は、回転体１６から外側に向けて延出し、回転体１６とともに水平軸１４周りに回転する。このときストッパピン１８は、カム２０によって回転体１６に対するその姿勢（傾き）が制御される。   The rotary wheel 12 includes a rotating body 16 that rotates around a horizontal axis 14 that is arranged in the width direction of the transport conveyor 10, and a plurality of stopper pins 18 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the rotating body 16. Is provided. The stopper pin 18 extends outward from the rotating body 16 and rotates around the horizontal axis 14 together with the rotating body 16. At this time, the posture (inclination) of the stopper pin 18 with respect to the rotating body 16 is controlled by the cam 20.

水平軸１４の上側を周回するストッパピン１８は、カム２０により鉛直方向に向けて略直立され、搬送コンベヤ１０の下側から搬送面上に延出して物品Ｍの前方側面に係合し、その搬送速度を遅らせる。これにより、ストッパピン１８に係合した物品Ｍは、ストッパピン１８が係合していない前側（下流側）の物品Ｍから離接され、これよりも下流側では、各物品Ｍが搬送方向に沿って一定間隔で離間される。   The stopper pin 18 that circulates on the upper side of the horizontal shaft 14 is substantially upright in the vertical direction by the cam 20, extends from the lower side of the conveyor 10 onto the conveying surface, and engages with the front side surface of the article M. Decrease the transport speed. As a result, the articles M engaged with the stopper pins 18 are separated from the front (downstream) articles M that are not engaged with the stopper pins 18, and each article M is moved in the transport direction on the downstream side. Are spaced apart at regular intervals.

搬送間隔が拡開されると、所定の物品Ｍ間の隙間に（本実施形態では物品２つおきに）、上方から板状の中仕切り（板状部材）Ｓが挿入される。中仕切りＳの隙間への挿入は、後述するように、搬送コンベヤ１０の上方に配置される受渡装置（保持手段）４０、押圧装置（押圧手段）５０を用いて行われる。   When the conveyance interval is expanded, a plate-shaped partition (plate-shaped member) S is inserted from above into a gap between predetermined articles M (every two articles in the present embodiment). As will be described later, the insertion of the intermediate partition S into the gap is performed using a delivery device (holding means) 40 and a pressing device (pressing means) 50 arranged above the conveyor 10.

搬送コンベヤ１０の更に下流側には、搬送コンベヤ１０に並列してグルーピング装置２８が配置される。グルーピング装置２８は、上記所定数（本実施形態では搬送方向に横２列）毎に物品Ｍがグループとなるように物品Ｍを分離、集積する。グルーピング装置２８は、例えば搬送コンベヤ１０よりも高速で移動されるフライトバー３０を備え、フライトバー３０がグループの後側の物品Ｍを前方へと押し出し、後側の物品Ｍを、中仕切りＳを挟んで前側の物品Ｍに押し当て、１つのグループとする。   A grouping device 28 is arranged in parallel with the conveyor 10 further downstream of the conveyor 10. The grouping device 28 separates and stacks the articles M so that the articles M are grouped for each of the predetermined number (in this embodiment, two rows in the transport direction). The grouping device 28 includes, for example, a flight bar 30 that is moved at a higher speed than the conveyor 10, and the flight bar 30 pushes the rear article M forward, and the rear article M is divided into the partition S. The sheet is sandwiched and pressed against the front article M to form one group.

搬送コンベヤ１０上においてグルーピングされた物品Ｍは、グルーピング装置２８よりも下流側において搬送コンベヤ１０に並列に配置されるケーサ（図示せず）へ移載される。搬送コンベヤ１０からケーサへの移載は、グループを単位に例えば搬送コンベヤ１０と同期して移動されるプッシャ（図示せず）を用いて行われる。なお、ケーサでは、例えば物品Ｍの６本を横一列として、２列（１２本）を単位にカートンに箱詰めされる。   The articles M grouped on the transport conveyor 10 are transferred to a caser (not shown) arranged in parallel with the transport conveyor 10 on the downstream side of the grouping device 28. The transfer from the transfer conveyor 10 to the caser is performed using a pusher (not shown) that is moved in units of groups in synchronization with the transfer conveyor 10, for example. In the caser, for example, six of the articles M are arranged in a horizontal row, and packed in a carton in units of two rows (12).

中仕切りＳは、積み重ねられた状態でホッパ３２に収容される。ホッパ３２は、その開口を斜め下に配置された取出し装置３４の中心に向け、中仕切りＳはこの開口を通して取出し装置３４により一枚ずつホッパ３２から取り出される。   The middle partitions S are accommodated in the hopper 32 in a stacked state. The hopper 32 has its opening directed toward the center of the take-out device 34 disposed obliquely below, and the partition S is taken out from the hopper 32 one by one by the take-out device 34 through this opening.

取出し装置３４は、例えばロータリ式であり、図２に示されるように、図１奥行き方向に並べて配置される一対のロッド３６の先端に設けられた一対の吸盤３６Ｓにより中仕切りＳを吸着・保持する。取出し装置３４は、ホッパ３２から取り出した中仕切りＳを一枚ずつ受渡装置（保持手段）４０へ受け渡す。ロッド３６は、回転ドラム３８の外周近くに設けられる回転軸３６Ｒに軸支され、回転ドラム３８が回転軸３８Ｒの周りに回転されると、回転ドラム３８と一体的に回転軸３８Ｒの周りに公転する。またこのときロッド３６は、回転軸３８Ｒと噛み合う遊星歯車機構３８Ｐにより回転軸３６Ｒの周りに自転する。   The take-out device 34 is, for example, a rotary type, and as shown in FIG. 2, the partition S is sucked and held by a pair of suction cups 36S provided at the tips of a pair of rods 36 arranged side by side in the depth direction of FIG. To do. The take-out device 34 delivers the partition S taken out from the hopper 32 one by one to the delivery device (holding means) 40. The rod 36 is supported by a rotating shaft 36R provided near the outer periphery of the rotating drum 38. When the rotating drum 38 is rotated around the rotating shaft 38R, the rod 36 revolves around the rotating shaft 38R integrally with the rotating drum 38R. To do. At this time, the rod 36 rotates around the rotation shaft 36R by the planetary gear mechanism 38P meshing with the rotation shaft 38R.

本実施形態の回転ドラム３８には、２組（合計４本）のロッド３６が回転軸３８Ｒを挟んで、それぞれ反対側に設けられる。図１では、左上のロッド３６がホッパ３２から中仕切りＳを取り出しており、右下のロッド３６が保持している中仕切りＳを受渡装置４０へ受け渡している（受け取り位置）。この後、回転ドラム３８は更に時計回りに回転され、中仕切りＳを受渡装置４０へ受け渡した右下のロッド３６は左上のロッド３６の位置へ移動し、中仕切りＳをホッパ３２から取り出した左上のロッド３６は、右下のロッド３６の位置へ移動する。   In the rotating drum 38 of the present embodiment, two sets (four in total) of rods 36 are provided on opposite sides of the rotating shaft 38R. In FIG. 1, the upper left rod 36 takes out the partition S from the hopper 32, and passes the partition S held by the lower right rod 36 to the delivery device 40 (reception position). Thereafter, the rotating drum 38 is further rotated clockwise, and the lower right rod 36 that delivered the partition S to the delivery device 40 moves to the position of the upper left rod 36, and the upper left that removed the partition S from the hopper 32. The rod 36 moves to the position of the lower right rod 36.

受渡装置４０は、上下左右に配置される４つの吸盤４０Ｓを備えるスイング式の装置である。受渡装置４０はアーム４０Ａを備え、アーム４０Ａの先端に吸盤４０Ｓが設けられ、基端部は回転軸４０Ｒにより軸支される。アーム４０Ａは、受け取り位置と挿入位置の間を往復するようにサーボモータ４０Ｍにより回転軸４０Ｒを中心に揺動可能である。   The delivery device 40 is a swing-type device that includes four suction cups 40S that are arranged vertically and horizontally. The delivery device 40 includes an arm 40A, a suction cup 40S is provided at the distal end of the arm 40A, and the base end portion is pivotally supported by a rotating shaft 40R. The arm 40A can swing around the rotation shaft 40R by a servo motor 40M so as to reciprocate between the receiving position and the insertion position.

受渡装置４０は、受け取り位置において、図１において回転ドラム３８の右下のロッド３６が保持する中仕切りＳのロッド３６とは反対側の面に吸盤４０Ｓを押し当て、吸盤４０Ｓからエアを抜いて中仕切りＳを吸着、保持する。また同時に、受け取り位置にあるロッド３６の吸盤３６Ｓにエアを吹き入れ、取出し装置３４による中仕切りＳの吸着、保持状態を解除する。その後、受渡装置４０のサーボモータ４０Ｍが駆動され、中仕切りＳは挿入位置まで移送される。   In the receiving position, the delivery device 40 presses the suction cup 40S against the surface opposite to the rod 36 of the partition S held by the lower right rod 36 of the rotary drum 38 in FIG. 1, and draws air from the suction cup 40S. The partition S is adsorbed and held. At the same time, air is blown into the suction cup 36S of the rod 36 at the receiving position, and the suction and holding state of the partition S by the take-out device 34 is released. Thereafter, the servo motor 40M of the delivery device 40 is driven, and the partition S is transferred to the insertion position.

なお、受け取り位置から挿入位置に到るまでの受渡装置４０の下側には、中仕切りＳが意図せず吸盤３６Ｓから脱落して搬送コンベヤ１０上を搬送される物品Ｍ上に落下することを防止するためのガイド４１が設けられる。ガイド４１は、例えば移送される中仕切りＳの先端の軌跡に沿った円弧状を呈する。   In addition, below the delivery device 40 from the receiving position to the insertion position, the partition S is unintentionally dropped from the suction cup 36S and dropped onto the article M conveyed on the conveyor 10. A guide 41 for preventing is provided. The guide 41 exhibits, for example, an arc shape along the locus of the tip of the partition S to be transferred.

挿入位置は、搬送コンベヤ１０上を搬送される物品Ｍの直ぐ上に位置し、挿入位置において中仕切りＳは、受渡装置４０により略鉛直に保持される。挿入位置上方には、押圧装置５０が配置される。押圧装置５０は、上下に昇降される押下げ部材５２を備える。押下げ部材５２は、クランク機構５４を介してサーボモータ５０Ｍに連結され、サーボモータ５０Ｍの回転により上下に往復動可能である。   The insertion position is located immediately above the article M to be transported on the transport conveyor 10, and the partition S is held substantially vertically by the delivery device 40 at the insertion position. A pressing device 50 is disposed above the insertion position. The pressing device 50 includes a pressing member 52 that is moved up and down. The push-down member 52 is connected to the servo motor 50M via the crank mechanism 54, and can reciprocate up and down by the rotation of the servo motor 50M.

図３は、受渡装置４０と押圧装置５０の詳細を示す拡大側面図である。図３（ａ）では、受渡装置４０が受け取り位置にある状態が示され、図３（ｂ）では、受渡装置４０が挿入位置にある状態が示される。   FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view showing details of the delivery device 40 and the pressing device 50. FIG. 3A shows a state where the delivery device 40 is in the receiving position, and FIG. 3B shows a state where the delivery device 40 is in the insertion position.

図３（ａ）には、アーム４０Ａが時計回り回転され、受け取り位置にまで達した状態が示され、前述したように、このとき４つの吸盤４０Ｓは、取出し装置３４が保持する中仕切りＳの一方の面に当接し、中仕切りＳを吸着する。また、同状態において押圧装置５０の押下げ部材５２は、中仕切りＳを保持するアーム４０Ａが揺動しても、中仕切りＳに接触しない位置（退避位置）にまで上昇されている。   FIG. 3A shows a state in which the arm 40A is rotated clockwise to reach the receiving position. As described above, the four suction cups 40S at this time include the partition S that the take-out device 34 holds. It abuts on one surface and adsorbs the partition S. Further, in this state, the pressing member 52 of the pressing device 50 is raised to a position where it does not come into contact with the inner partition S (retracted position) even if the arm 40A holding the inner partition S swings.

押下げ部材５２は、鉛直に保持される基部５２Ｂと、基部５２Ｂの下端から水平方向に延出し、中仕切りＳを押し下げる当接部５２Ａとを備える。基部５２Ｂの上端は、スライダ５０Ｓに保持され、スライダ５０Ｓは、鉛直方向に延在するレール５０Ｒに摺動自在に係合し、レール５０Ｒに沿って昇降自在である。スライダ５０Ｓは、クランク機構５４を介してサーボモータ５０Ｍに連結され、サーボモータ５０Ｍの回転運動が、スライダ５０Ｓ、すなわちこれに固定される押下げ部材５２の上下運動に変換される。またクランク機構５４は、サーボモータ５０Ｍによるクランク機構５４のアーム回転角度が調整でき、中仕切りの形状、大きさに合わせて押し下げ位置を調整できる。   The push-down member 52 includes a base portion 52B that is held vertically and a contact portion 52A that extends horizontally from the lower end of the base portion 52B and pushes down the partition S. The upper end of the base 52B is held by a slider 50S, and the slider 50S is slidably engaged with a rail 50R extending in the vertical direction, and can be raised and lowered along the rail 50R. The slider 50S is connected to the servo motor 50M via the crank mechanism 54, and the rotary motion of the servo motor 50M is converted into the vertical motion of the slider 50S, that is, the pressing member 52 fixed to the slider 50S. The crank mechanism 54 can adjust the arm rotation angle of the crank mechanism 54 by the servo motor 50M, and can adjust the push-down position according to the shape and size of the partition.

受渡装置４０は、受け取り位置で中仕切りＳを受け取ると、アーム４０Ａを反時計回りに回動し、図３（ｂ）の挿入位置にまで移動する。中仕切りＳが挿入位置に達すると、吸盤４０Ｓからのエアの吸引が停止されるとともに、サーボモータ５０Ｍにより押下げ部材５２が、図３（ｂ）の押下げ位置にまで下降される。この間に中仕切りＳは、吸盤４０Ｓの吸着状態が解除されるとともに、押下げ部材５２により上方から押圧され、物品Ｍ間の隙間に落下する。なお、吸盤４０Ｓの内側には、過度の吸着を抑制し、中仕切りＳが落下し易いようにコマ（ガイド）が各々設けられてもよい。   When receiving the partition S at the receiving position, the delivery device 40 rotates the arm 40A counterclockwise and moves to the insertion position shown in FIG. When the partition S reaches the insertion position, the suction of air from the suction cup 40S is stopped, and the pressing member 52 is lowered to the pressing position of FIG. 3B by the servo motor 50M. During this time, the partition S is released from the suction state of the suction cup 40S and is pressed from above by the push-down member 52 and falls into the gap between the articles M. In addition, a piece (guide) may be provided inside the suction cup 40S so that excessive suction is suppressed and the partition S is easily dropped.

物品Ｍ同士の隙間に挿入された中仕切りＳは、搬送コンベヤ１０の両サイドの搬送面よりも上方に設けられたガイド５６（図１参照）によりその両端が支持され、搬送コンベヤ１０上を搬送される後側物品Ｍの移動に合わせてガイド５６の上を搬送方向へとスライドされる。   The partitions S inserted in the gaps between the articles M are supported at both ends by guides 56 (see FIG. 1) provided above the conveying surfaces on both sides of the conveying conveyor 10 and conveyed on the conveying conveyor 10. As the rear article M is moved, it is slid in the transport direction on the guide 56.

受渡装置４０のアーム４０Ａは、押下げ部材５２が下降されると、再び反時計回りに受け取り位置に達するまで揺動され、ホッパ３２から取出し装置３４により取り出された次の中仕切りＳを吸着・保持する。一方、押下げ部材５２は、押下げ位置に達した後、所定時間だけ押下げ位置に停留して、次の中仕切りＳがアーム４０Ａの揺動により挿入位置まで移送されて来る前に退避位置にまで移動される。このように、押下げ部材５２を押し下げ位置で停留させることで、中仕切りＳの跳ね返りや横方向のズレを防ぐことができる。   When the push-down member 52 is lowered, the arm 40A of the delivery device 40 is swung counterclockwise again until it reaches the receiving position, and sucks the next partition S taken out from the hopper 32 by the take-out device 34. Hold. On the other hand, the push-down member 52 stops at the push-down position for a predetermined time after reaching the push-down position, and is retracted before the next partition S is transferred to the insertion position by the swing of the arm 40A. Moved to. In this manner, the pushing-down member 52 is stopped at the pushed-down position, so that the partition S can be prevented from being rebounded or displaced in the lateral direction.

以上のように、本実施形態の板状部材の挿入装置によれば、押圧装置と受渡装置とを設けることで、所定のタイミングで物品の前後に間違いなく中仕切りを挿入することができるので、シュートなどの構成が不要となり、装置全体の大きさを小さくすることができる。   As described above, according to the plate-like member insertion device of the present embodiment, by providing the pressing device and the delivery device, the partition can be definitely inserted before and after the article at a predetermined timing. A configuration such as a chute is unnecessary, and the overall size of the apparatus can be reduced.

また、シュートを用いる構成において中仕切りの長さを変更するには、シュートの幅方向長さも変更する必要があり、経費や手間が掛かった。しかし本実施形態では、そのような変更が必要ではなく、中仕切り長さの変更にも容易に対応することがでる。更に、シュートに関わる構成がないためメンテナンスもより容易となり、挿入位置からフライトバーまでの距離も短縮できる。また、本実施形態では、中仕切りを落下させる際に、上方を押下げ部材で押さえているため、中仕切りの跳ね返りや横方向へのずれが抑制される。   In addition, in order to change the length of the partition in the configuration using the chute, it is necessary to change the length in the width direction of the chute, which is expensive and troublesome. However, in the present embodiment, such a change is not necessary, and it is possible to easily cope with a change in the partition length. Further, since there is no configuration related to the chute, the maintenance becomes easier and the distance from the insertion position to the flight bar can be shortened. Moreover, in this embodiment, when dropping a partition, since the upper part is pressed down by the pressing member, the rebound of a partition and the shift | offset | difference to a horizontal direction are suppressed.

なお、本実施形態では、ロータリ式の取出し装置を例に説明したが、取出し装置は、ロータリ式に限定されるものではなく他の方式であってもよく、受け取り位置にホッパを設け、受渡装置がホッパから直接中仕切りを取り出す構成とすることもできる。   In this embodiment, the rotary type take-out device has been described as an example. However, the take-out device is not limited to the rotary type, and may be another type. However, the partition can be taken out directly from the hopper.

本実施形態では、押圧装置の上下運動にクランク機構とスライダを用いたが、ボールねじなど他の機構を用いてもよく、往復旋回式の機構に限定されるものではない。押下げ部材の位置調整機構もその上下位置を調整できればよく、本実施形態に限定されるものではない。   In the present embodiment, the crank mechanism and the slider are used for the vertical movement of the pressing device, but other mechanisms such as a ball screw may be used, and the present invention is not limited to a reciprocating turning mechanism. The position adjusting mechanism of the pressing member is not limited to the present embodiment as long as the vertical position can be adjusted.
