Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable smooth and high speed conversion of a direction of a container, by a method wherein a frame body, lowered from above as it is conveyed in the same direction as that of a container group and containing a container group, is provided, and the direction of the container group is converted through rotation, in the middle of conveyance, of the frame body. CONSTITUTION:When a support member 23 conveyed by an endless chain 18 is inputted onto a carrier conveyor 1 after rotation around a sprocket 17, a frame body 5 supported by the support member 23 is lowered under gravity in a state in that its longitudinal direction points to the conveying direction of the carrier conveyor 1. The frame body 5 is situated in a position right above a container group 2 inputted in a grouped state, and with the frame lowered in a conveying process, the container group 2 is contained thereinto. After the frame body 5 is rotated in a 90 deg. arc by means of a cam along with its movement, the frame body is raised again, the raising causes the container group 2 to convert its direction, the container group is traversely fed to the box carrier conveyor 9 side through protruding motion of a push member 7, and is contained in a box 11.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" However, in the direction changing device configured as described above, the container group from the conveyor is carried into the plate member, and the plate member is moved in the circumferential direction of the sprocket perpendicular to the carrying direction. Since the container is conveyed to the sprocket and the direction is changed, the direction of conveyance of the containers is abruptly changed from the direction of conveyance by the conveyor to the circumferential direction of the sprocket, and a large impact is generated between the containers. Because of the ease of use, there was a certain limit to high-speed operation.

When the frame 5 is positioned directly above the container group 2, the support member 23 is lowered via the force 11 follower 24 placed on the elevating cam 25, so the frame 5 is also lowered. The container group 2 on the transport conveyor l located directly below is relatively accommodated therein. As described above, when the container group 2 is housed in the frame 5, the engaging member 4 is retracted by a cam (not shown) to release contact with the containers 2, and the container group 2 continues to move on the conveyor 1. from there onto a smooth slide plate 6.

When the container group 2 is carried onto the slide plate 6, the container group 2 comes to be slid on the slide plate 6 by the conveyance of the frame 5, and in this state, the cam follower 37 engages with the rotating cam 38. At the same time, the rotating shaft 33 is rotated against the elastic force of the torque spring 35, so that the frame 5 is rotated 30 degrees counterclockwise in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the inner container is accordingly rotated. Group 2 is also rotated 90 degrees.

When the frame body 5 is rotated 80 degrees, the cam follower 45 of the shutter 43 is then engaged with the opening cam 4B to raise the shutter 43 and open the front side of the container group 2 in the extrusion direction. At the same time, the frame 5 is slightly raised via the support member 23, and the extrusion member 7 located on the rear side in the extrusion direction of the container group can enter into the frame 5 and become usable. At this time, the lower end of the side wall 41 on the rear side in the extrusion direction is set higher than the lower end of the side wall 41 on both sides in the extrusion direction, so that the extrusion member 7 can move the frame 5 without raising the frame 5 significantly. It is possible to enter inside.

When the extrusion member 7 finishes extruding the container group 2 in this way and the extrusion member 7 retreats to its original position, the shutter 4
Since the cam follower 45 of No. 3 is separated from the opening cam 48, the shutter 43 is lowered to the lower end position by its own weight. Also, since the cam follower 37 that was engaged with the rotating cam 38 is now spaced apart from the rotating cam 38, the torque spring 35 is closed. #The rotating shaft 33 is rotated in the opposite direction by the repulsive force, and therefore the frame 5 returns to its original position. Furthermore, the support member 23 is also raised by the lifting cam 25 to the initial state, and the same operation is repeated thereafter.

Note that in the above embodiment, the speeds of the container group 2 and the frame body 5 conveyed by the conveyor 1 are set to be the same;
It is not limited to that.

例えば枠体5の搬送方向後方側を開放させるとともに、
容器群2の搬送速度を枠体5の搬送速度よりも早く設定
し、枠体5を早期に下降端位置まで降下させるとともに

For example, while opening the rear side of the frame 5 in the transport direction,
The conveyance speed of the container group 2 is set faster than the conveyance speed of the frame body 5, and the frame body 5 is lowered to the lowering end position at an early stage.
It can be housed inside. Then, the opening section is rotated toward the push-out member, and the shutter 43 on the opposite side to the opening section is raised -1-, allowing the group of containers to be pushed out from there.

またこれとは逆に、上記開放部を受渡しコンベヤ8側に
向けて回転させ、その開放部から容器群を押出すことも
可能であり、この場合にはシャッタ43を省略できるこ

論である。
Conversely, it is also possible to rotate the opening toward the delivery conveyor 8 and push out the container group from the opening, and it is clear that the shutter 43 can be omitted in this case. moreover,? Of course, the shutter 43 can also be omitted when the direction of the container group is simply changed to li.

"Effects of the Invention" As described above, according to the present invention, the effect () is that the direction of the container can be changed more smoothly and at a higher speed than in the conventional device: η.
