〈産業上の利用分野〉
この発明は、主として鶏卵の自動包装装置に於て、幾つ
かの異った作業工程へ容器を順次搬送するような場合に
特に適する搬送装置を提供しようとするものであるが、
必ずしも鶏卵容器のみに限られるものではなく、例えば
果実類、野菜類−魚介類、肉類、加工食品類、菓子類そ
め他の包装容器等の搬送に用いることが出来る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention provides a conveying device that is particularly suitable for sequentially conveying containers to several different work processes, mainly in automatic packaging devices for chicken eggs. However,
It is not necessarily limited to egg containers, but can be used to transport, for example, packaging containers for fruits, vegetables, seafood, meat, processed foods, confectionery, etc.

等、一様でないのが普通である。<Conventional technology and its problems> In the automatic egg packaging bag and storage system, several different operations are performed, such as container feeding process, egg filling process, label loading process, and lid sealing process. The conveyor is a system that sequentially transports containers to other facilities, but the transport device, that is, the conveyor, is driven at different speeds for each work process, is driven intermittently, or is driven at a constant speed. It is normal that the drive is not uniform, such as driving to stop at a certain position.

ことになる。However, regardless of whether the structure of these conveyors is a belt type or a chain type, it is extremely difficult to reduce the diameter of the start end foil and the end end foil in terms of design. When the conveyors are connected, a fairly wide gap is created where the conveyors are unable to convey.

けられなくなるのである。If the item to be transported is in a relatively robust general boxed form, a suitable bridge or the like is constructed in the gap, and the rear item is placed on top of the bridge, and the item in the front is placed on top of the bridge. Conveyance can be easily continued by pushing the egg forward, but in the case of egg packaging containers, extremely soft molded products made of thin plastic film are often used, and after the egg filling process is completed, The container is transported to several processes without a lid, so if you try to move the container forward by pushing the container in the front with the container in the rear as described above, the pressure may cause the container to deform or shift one position. This may cause problems such as the eggs rolling out, or the eggs may roll out due to the covering, and it is also inevitable that the last egg will be left behind on the bridge.
勿論、このような問題の解決については、従来いろいろ
の方策が試みられて来たが、未だ充分満足すべき成果を
見るに至っていないのが実情である。Of course, various measures have been attempted to solve these problems, but the reality is that no satisfactory results have yet been achieved.

This eliminates problems such as the occurrence of various troubles associated with pushing objects forward, and easily enables safe and smooth transportation.

になされている。Means for Solving the Problem> In a conveyor consisting of an endless chain and a conveyor claw attached to it, the front part of the base of the conveyor claw is pivotally attached to the side of the chain via a pivot pin. At the same time, an arc-shaped guide window is provided at the rear of the base so as to surround the pivot pin in a semicircle from behind, and a guide pin separately provided on the side of the chain is fitted into the guide window. In addition, the base of the conveying claw is supported by a rail that is laid over a required section along the driving direction of the chain, so that the conveying claw does not stand up in the necessary section to convey the object. Although the conveyor can maintain its posture, it can easily collapse and assume a low posture when passing through a narrow gap at the connection with another conveyor.

A guide window 6 is provided, into which a guide pin 7 separately provided on the side of the chain is loosely fitted. As a result, the conveying claw 3 moves through the guide window 6 using the pivot pin 5 as a fulcrum.
It can be tilted freely in the front and rear directions within the range allowed by its size. In this case, both the pivot pin 5 and the guide pin 7 can be used as extensions of chain pins. As the material for the conveying claws 3, it is preferable to select a synthetic resin such as polyamide, polyacetal, etc., which has excellent wear resistance and moldability.

The figure shows the case in which the conveying claws 3 are placed slightly outward from the position of the rails 8 (each of them is positioned slightly outward), and the other parts are removed. This is a holding member for sliding and lifting, and the figure shows a case in which the same effect can be obtained by installing it along the upper side of chain 1 to prevent it from floating. Reference numerals 12 and 13 are bridges installed between the next process conveyor 14 and the previous process conveyor 15 which are adjacent to each other at the front and rear, respectively.

で、充分にその間隙を縮小することが可能となる。Next, I will explain the effect. When the chain 1 is driven in the direction of the arrow, the conveying claw 3 is held in an upright position by the restraint between the rail 8 and the guide pin 7 in the section where the base 4 is supported by the rail 8. The egg container, that is, the object to be transported 16, is transported according to the fixed positioning.Then, the moment the base 4 passes the terminal end 10' of the rail 8, the transport claw is moved forward. 3 is released from the restraint and can freely lie down in the opposite direction of travel, that is, backward, within the range allowed by the size of the guide window 6, and therefore can be operated very close to the next process conveyor 14. Moreover, just before the conveying claw 3 assumes the above-mentioned shoulder position, the conveyed object 16 that it supports is sent out quite deeply onto the bridge 12, so that the conveyed object 16 is It can be easily transferred to the next process conveyor 14. Therefore, even if the conveyed object 16 is a soft container, or even if it is uncovered, the conveyance can continue safely and smoothly without causing similar troubles. Further, since the conveying claw 3 passes through the connection gap with the immediately preceding process conveyor 15 in a laid down position in the same manner as described above, it is possible to sufficiently reduce the gap.

Further, the size, shape, etc. of the conveying claw 3 can be appropriately designed as required, for example, by extending the head 17 laterally as shown in FIG. 4, or by extending the head 17 laterally as shown in FIG. (As shown here, there are two chains on the left and right.
It is also possible to attach the conveying rod 18 between the heads 17 and 17 of the left and right claws respectively attached to the left and right claws.

を生じていたことは既に説明した通りである。Effects> In conveyors for carrying egg containers, etc., the conveyor claws for positioning and positioning the load on the loading surface are often small (with a height of 2 to 3 sheets) on the loading surface. Therefore, the gap between the conveyor and the adjacent conveyor where the conveyor is unable to pass becomes considerably wide, which causes considerable problems during the conveyance of egg-filled containers during the packaging process. As already explained,

However, its structure is extremely simple and robust, and it can be provided at a low price.
