Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the interference-breakage of a glass tube and allow the conveyor speed to coincide with the speed of the next process by loading each glass tube onto the supporting hooks arranged at equal intervals on the feeding- side conveyor which travels continually and transferring the glass tube onto the receiving-side conveyor through a plurality of inclined chutes on one side midway on a vertical traveling passage. CONSTITUTION:Each glass tube (a) is supported onto the glass-tube supporting hooks 1 installed in equal pitch onto the feeding-side conveyor A onto stripes of endless chains 2. The inclined chutes C1 and C2 are arranged in two stages in close to the top edge of the hook 1 in the leading-out part E of the conveyor A. Solenoid valves midway in air feeding pipes 4 and 4 are opened and closed intermittently corresponding to the pipe (a) feeding speed and the feeding pitch of the conveyor A, and the pipes (a) which reach the positions of the inclined chutes C1 and C2 are discharged by the injection force of the high-pressure air supplied from nozzles D1 and D2, and sent onto the receiving-side conveyors B1 and B2 at the lower edges of the chutes C1 and C2. Therefore, the pipe (a) can be prevented from interference-broken, and the conveyor speed can be allowed to coincide with the processing speed in the next process.

In the conventional transfer mechanism described above, the position where the glass tube (a) is taken out from the supply conveyor (A) is at the feed end side of the supply conveyor (A). Only one reversal position can be used, so when the glass tube (a) supplied from the supply conveyor ('A) is transferred to the receiving conveyor (B) in a direction parallel to the tube axis. In this case, compared to the feeding pinch of the glass tube (a) on the supply side conveyor (A), the conveyance pitch on the receiving side colveyor (B) is a long pinch corresponding to the length of the glass tube (a). Conveyor (B
), there is a risk that the previous glass tube (a) and the next glass tube (a) will collide with each other and cause damage. A
) Even if it were to be made larger, there was a limit to it. Therefore, in the conventional transfer mechanism, there is no choice but to align the glass tube feeding directions of the supply side conveyor (A) and the receiving side conveyor (B) in the same direction, and the feeding direction cannot be freely selected. There was a problem in that it was not possible to take out the glass tube (a) from (A) at multiple locations.

This invention is equipped with glass preamble receiving claws at equal intervals, and a plurality of slopes for taking out glass tubes on the mid-way side of the vertical running path of the continuously running supply conveyor. The chutes are fixedly arranged, a receiving conhair is associated with the lower end of each inclined chute, and a glass tube is connected to the upper end of each inclined chute from the glass receiving claw of the outlet section of the supply conveyor to the inclined chute side. Either an air injection nozzle is provided to transfer the glass to the glass front plate, or the length of the glass front plate catcher is changed stepwise, and the starting end position of each inclined chute is adjusted in steps to correspond to the change in the length of the glass front plate catcher. By changing the length so that the glass tubes are received into the inclined chute in order from the long glass preamble receiving claw, it is possible to freely select the feeding direction of the receiving conveyor, and it is also possible to take out glass tubes from the supply conveyor from multiple locations. I hope it's something you can do.

In this invention, the glass tube is taken out from the middle of the vertical path of the supply conveyor, so the glass tube outlet can be selected at any position, and there are multiple receiving conveyors. Furthermore, there is an advantage that the conveyance direction of the taken out glass tube can be freely selected. Therefore, from the supply side conveyor that conveys the glass tube in a direction perpendicular to the tube axis,
When transferring glass tubes to a receiving conveyor that is conveyed in a direction parallel to the tube axis, interference and damage to the glass tubes can be prevented, and the speed of the receiving conveyor can be adjusted to the next step without being restricted by the speed of the supply conveyor. For example, it has excellent advantages such as being able to match processing speeds such as packaging processes.
