The toothbrush handles are aligned in advance by the end-line aligning device before the toothbrush handle is supplied to the direction switching unit 50. [ It can be said that both ends of the plurality of toothbrush handles are arranged in line so as to be arranged on the same transfer line. On the other hand, when the piston rod of the cylinder moves backward and returns to the original position, the alignment guide plate also returns to its original position and waits in a state in which the next toothbrush handle can be aligned. The alignment guide plates of the end-aligning apparatus are repeatedly moved forward and backward to align the end lines (both ends) of each of the toothbrush handles supplied to the separate supply unit 40.

The direction switching unit (50) is provided in front of the separate supply unit (40). A direction switching unit 50 is provided between the discharge end of the machine body 20 and the separate supply unit 40. [ A direction switching unit 50 is provided on a transfer line between the transfer auxiliary device mounted on the machine body and the discharge end of the machine body. This direction switching unit 50 is for rotating the toothbrush handle at a predetermined angle to supply it to the reverse unit 60 (front and rear face flipping units). To this end, the direction switching unit 50 includes a cradle 52, and the cradle 52 includes a fixed cradle 52A and a movable cradle 52B. Further, the direction switching unit 50 includes a cradle 52 driving unit for operating the movable cradle 52B.

A plurality of mounting grooves HG are arranged at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the fixed mounting table 52A. The plurality of mounting grooves HG of the fixed mounting table 52A are arranged at predetermined intervals on the transfer line of the machine body 20. [ At this time, the mounting grooves HG are configured so that the distance between the inner side surfaces of the mounting grooves HG gradually decreases from the upper portion to the lower portion. The mounting groove HG may be formed of a U-shaped groove. Since the mounting groove HG is a U-shaped groove, the fixed mounting base 52A can be referred to as a U-shaped base 52. Two stationary cradles 52A are arranged on the transfer line of the machine body 20, one before the other and one after the other. The fixed stand 52A is arranged to face the conveying line of the machine body 20 in the forward and backward directions. Of course, the respective mounting grooves HG of the respective fixed base 52A are arranged on the same line (front and rear facing positions) in the front and rear of the machine body 20. The toothbrush handle is supplied in a direction orthogonal to the transfer line of the machine body 20 so that the front end and the rear end of the toothbrush handle are caught by the mounting grooves HG of the two fixed mounting bases 52A. That is, the toothbrush handle may be caught by the two fixed cradles 52A. In this state, the longitudinal direction of the toothbrush handle is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the transfer line of the machine body.

The movable stand 52B is provided along a conveying line of the machine body 20. [ The movable pedestal 52B is also provided with a mounting groove HG which is opened to the upper surface and both surfaces. The mounting groove HG of the movable mounting base 52B has the same structure as the mounting groove HG of the fixed mounting base 52A. A plurality of mounting grooves HG are arranged at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the movable mount table 52B. A plurality of mounting grooves HG of the movable mounting table 52B are arranged at predetermined intervals on the transfer lines of the machine body 20. [ At this time, the mounting grooves HG are configured so that the distance between the inner side surfaces of the mounting grooves HG gradually decreases from the upper portion to the lower portion. Therefore, the effect that the toothbrush handle is stably mounted on the mounting groove HG can be advantageously guided so as to be smoothly mounted. On the other hand, the mounting groove HG may be a U-shaped groove. Since the mounting groove HG is a U-shaped groove, the movable mounting base 52B can also be referred to as a U- The movable stand 52B is also arranged on the conveying line of the machine body 20, one before the other and the other later. The movable stand 52B is arranged to face the conveying line of the machine body 20 in the forward and backward directions. Of course, the respective mounting grooves HG of the respective movable stand 52B are arranged on the same line (front and rear facing positions) in front and rear of the machine body 20. The toothbrush handle is supplied in a direction orthogonal to the transfer line of the machine body 20. The front end and the rear end of the toothbrush handle are caught by the mounting groove HG of the two movable mounts 52B. That is, the toothbrush handle may be caught by the two movable pedestals 52B. In this state, the longitudinal direction of the toothbrush handle is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the transfer line of the machine body.

At this time, the movable holder 52B is configured to be movable in the transfer line of the machine body. The movement of the movable pedestal 52B may be a movement to move forward, downward, backward, upward, and advance along the transfer line of the machine body. This movement of the movable stand 52B is achieved by connecting the connection shaft provided on the movable stand 52B to a position eccentric to the motor shaft of the drive motor so that the movable stand 52B is moved forward, You can repeat the process of backward, upward, and forward. Specifically, the motor shaft of the driving motor is provided with a rotating plate, one end of the connecting shaft is connected to the rotating plate, and the other end of the connecting shaft is connected to the movable holding base 52B via the hinge. The hinge part may be constituted by a hinge boss in which the other end side outer peripheral surface of the connection shaft is relatively rotatably coupled.

Therefore, since the motor shaft of the driving motor is provided at a position eccentric from the center of the rotating plate so as to be eccentric from the center of rotation of the motor shaft of the connecting pin connecting the motor shaft of the driving motor and the movable holder 52B, The movable mount table 52B can be repeatedly moved forward, downward, backward, and upward depending on the rotational angle of the connection pin. If the movable platform 52B is one cycle of advancing, descending, reversing, and ascending movement, the cycle may be repeatedly performed. On the other hand, it goes without saying that other driving means such as a belt conveyor other than the driving motor can be employed for the forward, downward, backward, and upward movement of the movable platform 52B.

In the state in which the movable base 52B is lowered, a fixed base 52A is provided above the movable base 52B and the respective base grooves HG of the fixed base 52A and the respective base of the movable base 52B (HG) are arranged on the same vertical line. For example, if the three mounting grooves HG of the fixed mounting base 52A are FG1, FG2, and F3, and the three mounting grooves HG of the movable mounting base 52B are DG1, DG2, and DG3, respectively, Three mounting grooves HG DG1 and DG2 and DG3 of the movable mounting table 52B are fixed to the three mounting grooves HG1 and FG2 and FG3 of the fixed mounting table 52A in the state where the movable mounting table 52B is lowered And are arranged on the same line in the vertical direction.

In the state in which the movable base 52B is retracted, the fixed base 52A is provided above the movable base 52B and the respective base grooves HG of the fixed base 52A and the respective base of the movable base 52B When the movable restraint 52B is retracted in this state, the respective holding recesses HG of the movable restraint 52B are retracted backward by one space, The respective mounting grooves HG of the groove HG and the movable mounting table 52B are arranged on the same vertical line. For example, if the three mounting grooves HG of the fixed mounting base 52A are FG1, FG2, and F3, and the three mounting grooves HG of the movable mounting base 52B are DG1, DG2, and DG3, respectively, Three mounting grooves HG DG1 and DG2 and DG3 of the movable mounting table 52B are fixed to the three mounting grooves HG1 and FG2 and FG3 of the fixed mounting table 52A in the state where the movable mounting table 52B is lowered The mounting grooves HG DG1 of the movable mount table 52B are vertically aligned with the mounting grooves HG FG2 of the fixed mounting table 52A in a state in which the movable mounting table 52B is retracted The mounting grooves HG DG2 of the movable mounting base 52B are arranged on the same line in the vertical direction and the mounting grooves HG DG3 of the movable mounting base 52B are arranged on the same line, Are arranged on the same vertical line as the mounting groove (HG) FG4 of the fixed mounting table 52A.

The movable mount table 52B is positioned above the fixed mount table 52A and the respective mount grooves HG of the movable mount table 52B and the respective mount grooves HG of the fixed mount table 52A (HG) are arranged on the same vertical line. As described above, in the state in which the movable base 52B is raised after being retreated, the respective mounting grooves HG of the movable base 52B are retracted backward by one frame, The respective mounting grooves HG of the movable mounting table 52B are arranged on the same vertical line. For example, if the three mounting grooves HG of the fixed mounting base 52A are FG1, FG2, and F3, and the three mounting grooves HG of the movable mounting base 52B are DG1, DG2, and DG3, respectively, In a state in which the movable stand 52B is lifted up and then raised, the mounting grooves HG (DG1) of the movable mounting table 52B are aligned on the same vertical line in the mounting grooves HG (FG2) The mounting grooves HG and DG2 of the movable mount table 52B are arranged on the same vertical line and the mounting grooves HG and DG3 of the movable mount table 52B are arranged on the fixed mount table 52A, (HG: FG4) of the main body 10A. The mounting grooves HG of the movable mount table 52B and the fixed mount table 52A of the movable mount table 52B are moved upward in the state in which the mounting grooves HG of the movable mount table 52B are raised higher than the mounting grooves HG of the fixed mount table 52A. The mounting grooves HG are arranged on the same vertical line.

After the movable base 52B is lifted, the movable base 52B moves forward. The movable mount table 52B is positioned above the fixed mount table 52A and the respective mount grooves HG of the movable mount table 52B and the respective mounts of the fixed mount table 52A The grooves HG are arranged on the same vertical line and at the same time the respective retention grooves HG of the movable retention platform 52B are moved forward by one space to move to the same position as when the movable retention platform 52B is lowered. For example, if the three mounting grooves HG of the fixed mounting base 52A are FG1, FG2, and F3, and the three mounting grooves HG of the movable mounting base 52B are DG1, DG2, and DG3, respectively, The three mounting grooves HG (DG1 and DG2 and DG3) of the movable mounting table 52B are fixed to the three mounting grooves HG (FG1, FG2 and FG3) of the fixed mounting table 52A in the state in which the movable mounting table 52B is advanced, Are arranged on the same line in the vertical direction.

As described above, assuming that the movable base 52B is one cycle of advancing, descending, reversing, and ascending movement of the movable base 52B, the movable base 52B repeatedly performs the periodic motion, The mounting groove HG is repeatedly moved forward, downward, backward, and upward. The toothbrush handles extending over the mounting grooves HG of the movable mounting base 52B also move one by one to the mounting grooves HG of the fixed mounting base 52A when the movable mounting base 52B repeats the above- The toothbrush handle can be moved. A mosquito for planting the bristles in the toothbrush handle is provided at one end of the discharge end of the machine body, and the toothbrush handle can be moved toward the discharge end of the machine body with the mosquito.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the movable holder 52B may be moved forward, downward, backward, and upwards repeatedly by the forward cylinder, the downward cylinder, the reverse cylinder, and the upward cylinder. The movable base 52B can be periodically moved as described above by means of a drive unit 52 which is capable of repeatedly performing the cycle of advancing, dropping, reversing, and ascending movement of the movable base 52B All of which can be employed as a cradle 52 driving unit.

In addition, the detector device may include a control unit for controlling the operation of the rotary unit by a signal for sensing the toothbrush handle of the optical sensor (a signal for sensing the front or rear surface of the toothbrush handle).

The optical sensor is disposed above the transfer line of the machine body by a support. The toothbrush handle is moved by the fixed cradle 52A and the movable cradle 52B of the direction switching unit 50 so that the optical sensor is positioned on the transfer line of the machine main body so that the toothbrush handle faces the transfer line of the machine body It senses whether the back side of the toothbrush handle is above the transfer line of the machine body. The front and rear faces of the toothbrush handle are sensed by the optical sensor and a signal is sent to the reverse unit 60 to turn the toothbrush handle in a predetermined direction. The light sensor senses the front and rear surfaces of the toothbrush handle and sends a signal to the controller. The controller drives the rotating unit of the reverse unit 60 to turn the toothbrush handle in a certain direction. When the front surface of the toothbrush handle is fed downwardly from the transfer line, the toothbrush handle is turned upside down so that the front surface of the toothbrush handle looks upwards from the transfer line of the machine body so that the bristles are planted on the front surface of the toothbrush handle by the mosquito. If the front surface of the toothbrush handle is supplied to the upper side of the transfer line of the machine body, the optical sensor detects the toothbrush handle and sends a sensing signal to the controller to turn the toothbrush handle over, The operation of reversing by the above-mentioned operation is omitted.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the detecting device may employ an air sensor detecting device. The air sensor detector is installed in the lower part of the reverse unit 60. The air sensor detects the front and rear surfaces of the toothbrush handle by air and sends a signal to the reverse unit 60 to rotate the toothbrush handle in the forward and backward directions . At this time, the air sensor detecting device may include an air sensor. A controller connected between the air sensor and the reverse unit 60 may also constitute an air sensor detector. The air sensor is installed in the machine body 20. Is installed under the reverse unit (60). The air sensor detector detects the front and back of the air toothbrush so as to send a signal to the reverse unit 60 (sends a signal to the controller) to turn the toothbrush handle constantly in a predetermined direction. When the inner surface on which the bristles of the toothbrush handle is to be planted is supplied while looking downward from the transfer line of the machine body 20, the toothbrush handle is turned over so that the inner surface of the toothbrush handle is turned upward . Of course, if it is sensed that the inner surface on which the bristles of the toothbrush handle are to be planted is detected by the air sensor, the sensor of the sensor detects the bristle material grooves formed on the inner surface of the bristles, A signal for inverting the toothbrush handle may not be transmitted to the controller so that the operation of reversing the toothbrush handle may be omitted.
