ンベヤガイド間隔の調節を行なっている。(Prior Art) Generally, when conveying objects such as bottles using a belt conveyor or the like, guides are provided along the conveyance direction to prevent them from falling over or being misaligned during conveyance. In order to effectively perform the function of the guide, it is necessary to adjust the guide width according to the widthwise size of the object to be transported. Traditional guide I! llF! ! In the one-section mechanism, a guide support rod is attached to the conveyor frame in an adjustable manner with screws, etc., and each time the size of the conveyed object differs, the screws are removed and both or one guide is moved in the width direction of the conveyor. The conveyor guide spacing is adjusted by measuring and adjusting the spacing with a scale, and then fixing it again with screws.

ている。In the figure, reference numeral 5 is a guide@adjustment shaft provided in parallel between the conveyor rows, and on the rectangular cross-section of the shaft, four sets of guide support rods 61 to 64 of four sizes with different lengths are located at the center of each side. and the respective sets are provided symmetrically so as to be located at the corners. The guide support rods are provided at appropriate intervals on the guide width adjustment shaft, and conveyor guides 7□ to 74 are fixed to the tip ends thereof. The guide width adjustment shaft 5 is rotatably supported by the housing so that each guide support shaft can be positioned and stopped in a horizontal state by an appropriate positioning mechanism (not shown), and its tip end is rotatably supported as shown in FIG. , a handle protrudes outward from the housing for rotation.

ことができる。In the guide width adjustment mechanism of this embodiment configured as described above, the guide shaft can be adjusted in four stages, and it is possible to accommodate objects having widths of Wl, W2, Wl, and W. It looks like this. Currently, the largest size W□
When transporting bottle b, the guide support shaft 6., which is the shortest size, is attached to each guide width adjustment shaft. Operate and rotate the handle of each guide width adjustment shaft 5 to position the guide width adjusting shaft 5 so that the guide width adjustment shaft 5 is horizontal. This allows one side of adjacent conveyors to be adjusted simultaneously with a single adjustment rod. Therefore, conventionally, it is difficult to adjust the guide shaft when the distance between conveyors is narrow, but since it can be adjusted from the outside of the conveyor row, there is no need to go between the conveyors to adjust the guide, and there is no need to go between the conveyors. The spacing can be narrowed.

調節ができる利点がある。In addition, the guide width can be adjusted easily and accurately by simply rotating the handle from outside the chamber, so the mold change work can be dramatically shortened compared to the conventional method. However, when the conveyor is enclosed in a chamber and isolated from the outside, such as in a sterilization room for containers, as in this embodiment, there is an advantage that the guide width can be adjusted while maintaining the isolation state. be.

時に調節することができる。Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various design changes are possible. For example, in the above embodiment, the guide width adjustment shafts are individually rotated, but in FIG. If fixed drive shafts are arranged on both sides so as to be orthogonal to each adjustment shaft, the conveyor guide on one side can be adjusted simultaneously by rotating one drive shaft.
（効果）
