Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the time of elevating loaders by providing the loaders in plural vertical stages, thereby shortening the elevating distance of the loaders at the time of moving the loaders vertically in order to throw sized sheet bodies on the loaders into a dryer with many vertical stages. CONSTITUTION:A continuously fed long band sheet body 2 is cut into fixed sizes, and cut sized sheets bodies 5 are fed by a feed conveyor 4 to space out the successively fed sized sheet bodies 5. The sized sheet bodies 5 fed from the feed conveyor 4 are placed on an organizing conveyor 6 moving in the orthogonal direction to the conveying direction of the feed conveyor 4 so as to be lined up in plural rows on the organizing conveyor 6. The sized sheet bodies 5 lined up in plural rows on th organizing conveyor 6 are placed on loaders 7, and the loaders 7 are moved vertically to throw the sized sheet bodies on the loaders 7 into a dryer 8 with many vertical stages. In this case, the loaders 7 are provided in plural vertical stages. The time for elevating the loaders 7 vertically is thereby shortened to improve conveying capacity.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a device for conveying a sheet-like material such as an inorganic sheet material, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a device for conveying a sheet-like material such as an inorganic sheet material. The present invention relates to a conveying device that cuts the fixed-sized sheets into pieces, sends the cut sheets to be arranged in a plurality of rows, and uses a loader to load the fixed-sized sheet-like products arranged in the plurality of rows into a multi-stage dryer.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a long belt-like sheet material 2 is conveyed at low speed by a supply conveyor 1, and cut to size by a cutting device 3 at the tip of the supply conveyor 1. The cut sheet material 5 is then sent to a feed conveyor 4 that can freely switch between low and high speeds, and the space between the successive sheets 5 is separated, and the sheet material 5 is then fed from the feed conveyor 4. The sized sheet materials 5 are sent to the knitting conveyor 6 which is movable in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the conveyor 4, and by moving the knitting conveyor 6, the sized sheet materials 5 are arranged in parallel on the knitting conveyor 6 and knitted. A plurality of rows of fixed-sized sheets 5 are sent from a conveyor 6 to a loader 7, and the loader 7 is moved up and down to feed the fixed-sized sheets 5 into dryers 8 in multiple upper and lower stages. In FIG. 6, a is a low-speed section, 1 is a low-speed/high-speed switching section, and C is a high-speed section. Although the sheet-like object is conveyed in this manner, the sheet-like object is susceptible to bending during conveyance, so it must be moved entirely horizontally. ! i
The lateral movement of the conveyor 6 and the lifting and lowering of the loader 7 must be performed during the time it takes for the sized sheet materials 5 to be separated from each other.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned conventional example, when the speed at which the belt-like sheet-like material 2 is fed by the supply conveyor 1 is increased in order to increase productivity, the sizing sheet-like material 5 is separated from each other. There is a problem that the separation time becomes short and the formation and loader cycles cannot be completed in time.

In addition, in order to improve the time required to separate the fixed-sized sheets 5 from each other, the speed in the high-speed section must be increased.
If the sheet-like material is soft, it is impossible to increase the speed in high-speed sections.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned α, and an object of the present invention is to provide a conveying device that can reduce the time required for raising and lowering the loader by using a multi-stage loader, and can improve the conveying capacity. It is in.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the conveying device of the present invention cuts a long belt-like sheet material 2 that is continuously fed into a fixed size, and then cuts the cut fixed-sized sheet material. A forming conveyor 6 moves in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor 4, leaving an interval between the fixed-sized sheet-like objects 5 that are sent one after another by the feeding conveyor 4.
The fixed-cut sheet-like materials 5 sent from the feeding conveyor 4 are placed thereon, and the fixed-sized sheet-like materials 5 are arranged in a plurality of rows on the knitting conveyor 6.
A conveying device that places fixed-sized sheets 5 arranged in a plurality of rows on a knitting conveyor 6 on a loader 7, moves the loader 7 up and down, and loads the fixed-sized sheets 5 on the loader 7 into a multi-stage dryer 8. The present invention is characterized in that the loader 7 is provided in a plurality of upper and lower stages.

[Function] Since the loader 7 is provided in multiple stages above and below, the opening time required to move the loader 7 up and down is shortened.
The time required by the loader 7 is shortened, and the conveyance capacity can be improved.

[Example 1] A process of conveying a long strip-like sheet material 2 with a supply conveyor 1, a process of cutting it with a cutting device 3, a process of sending a fixed-sized sheet material 5 with a feed conveyor 4, a process of conveying a long sheet-like material 2 with a forming conveyor 6 into multiple rows. arranging process, sending process from knitting conveyor 6 to loader 7,
Since the structure of the dryer 8 is the same as the conventional one, its explanation will be omitted, and only the parts of the loader 7 that are different from the conventional one will be explained. loader 7
A plurality of stages (two stages in this embodiment) are provided above and below. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, two stages of loaders 7 arranged vertically at a distance are connected by a connecting member 9. The upper and lower loaders 7 are raised and lowered together. The dryer 8!8 has a multi-stage loading section 10 on the upper and lower sides, and in this embodiment, there are 8 stages as numbered 1°2...7,8 in Fig. 2. A carry-in section 10 is provided. And the lower loader 7 has a loading section 10 numbered 1.2.3.4.
The loader 7 on the upper side performs an operation of loading the sheet-shaped articles 5 of fixed size into the carrying-in portions 10 labeled with numbers 4-5, 6, 7.8. In other words, if the loader 7 has only one stage as in the past, the loader 7 as shown in FIG.
After receiving the fixed size sheet material 5 from the formation conveyor 6, the loader 7 must be moved up and down to correspond to the loading sections 10 numbered 1, 2, . , the distance to raise and lower the loader 7 becomes longer, and it takes more time to raise and lower the loader 7. However, if the loader 7 is provided in two stages, one above the other, the lifting distance of the loader 7 can be halved compared to the conventional one, and while the fixed-sized sheet material 5 is being fed from the knitting conveyor 6 to one loader 7, the other loader is The sized sheet material 5 can be loaded into the loading section 10 of the dryer 8 from the loader 7, and the time for one cycle in the loader 7 can be shortened.

Further, FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which loaders 7 are provided in multiple stages (two stages in the case of this embodiment) vertically, and each loader 7
Each can be raised and lowered separately. In this case as well, the loader 7 can be moved up and down, and while one loader 7 is being supplied with the sized sheet material 5 from the knitting conveyor 6, the other loader 7 is feeding the sized sheet material 5 into the dryer. It can be loaded into the loading section 10 of 8.

[Effect of the invention 1] As described above, the present invention has loaders arranged in multiple stages above and below, so when the loader is moved up and down and a sheet of fixed size is loaded from the loader into the multi-stage dryer, the lifting distance of the loader can be reduced. In addition, while one loader is being supplied with fixed-sized sheets from the formation conveyor, the other loader can feed fixed-sized sheets into the dryer. The time per cycle can be shortened, and the conveyance capacity can be improved by increasing the speed at which belt-like sheet materials are fed.Furthermore, the loader is structured to have multiple stages above and below, making it possible to process fixed-sized sheet materials. The conveyance ability can be improved while conveying horizontally, and even sheet-like materials that are not popular for bending can be conveyed without problems.
