Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an automatic supply device for liquids (including water, oil, paint, etc.).

Conventional technology Conventionally, after the liquid supply from the faucet is stopped, liquid adhering to the inside of the faucet collects at the end of the faucet, which is the liquid discharge port of an automatic liquid supply device, and this liquid drips onto the lid of a container, etc. This may contaminate the container, or for chemical solutions that must be supplied in a strictly fixed amount, more than the fixed amount may be supplied, and this dripping must be prevented as much as possible. Various efforts have been made to improve faucets, etc., but so far none have had the desired effect.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention prevents excess liquid from dripping onto containers, etc. from the faucet of an automatic liquid supply device after the liquid supply is stopped. This is what I am trying to do.

Means for Solving the Problem Two faucets from a liquid supply device are arranged in parallel between the first and second intermittent moving conveyors arranged in parallel. At the same time, on the side of the first intermittent moving conveyor, a device for transferring the container transferred by the first intermittent moving conveyor to a position below the faucet of the liquid supply device is installed at a location corresponding to the location where the liquid supply device is arranged. The apparatus is equipped with a device for transferring the containers to a second intermittent moving conveyor when the liquid supply is completed, the container being arranged between the faucets of the liquid supply device, extending below each faucet of the liquid supply device, and extending from both ends thereof. A dripping liquid receiver is provided at the center of the dripping liquid receiving tray, which receives the liquid dripping from each faucet and has an outlet in the center from which the liquid flows out. and a control device that operates in conjunction with a control device of the liquid supply device so that when the liquid supply starts, the saucer is removed from below each of the faucets, and when the liquid supply is stopped, the saucer is restored to a position straddling the bottom of each of the faucets. It has a structure in which it is fixed to the upper end of the hollow rotating cylinder to which the circuit is connected.

Example Examples will be described below.

When the containers 7 are sequentially moved by the first intermittent moving conveyor to the placement locations of the faucets 3A arranged in the liquid supply device 3, each of the faucets 3A arranged in the liquid supply device 3 is moved. A device 2 for transferring the container 7 to the bottom is installed, and the container 7 placed on the first intermittent moving conveyor 1 is transferred to each faucet 3A location of the liquid supply device 3 by the device 2, and the liquid is supplied. Move below each faucet 3A of device 3,
After receiving the liquid supply, the container 7 is transferred to a second intermittent conveyor by a device (not shown) for moving the container 7 onto a second intermittent conveyor 4 arranged in parallel with the first intermittent conveyor 1. 4 and conveyed to a predetermined location by the second intermittent moving conveyor 4 is known. (First,
(Figure 2) The present invention will be explained by taking as an example the liquid supply device (Figures 3 and 4) disposed in the above-mentioned known device.
It is configured to span between the two faucets 3A arranged parallel to the conveyor of the liquid supply device 3 attached to the above-mentioned device, and to receive the liquid dripping from each faucet at both ends thereof, and ,
A dripping liquid receiver 5 having an outlet 5A at the center of which the dropped liquid flows and the flowed liquid flows out, the outlet 5A of the receiver 5 being fixed to the upper end opening of the rotary cylinder 6.

The rotary cylinder is located at the center between each faucet 3A of the liquid supply device 3, and is rotatably connected to the liquid outflow pipe.

A control device (not shown) that operates in conjunction with the control device of the liquid supply device 3 moves the saucer 5 away from the bottom of each faucet 3A when liquid supply is started, and when the liquid supply is stopped. The rotary cylinder is arranged to operate so as to return to the downward straddling position.

That is, when the container 7 sent to a predetermined position by the first intermittent moving conveyor 1 reaches a predetermined position, the container transfer device 2 attached thereto is moved by the signal, and the faucet 3A of the liquid supply device 3 is activated. moved below.
The liquid supply device is activated by a signal indicating that the container 7 has been moved under the faucet, and the liquid is supplied to the container 7.
In the present invention, before the liquid is supplied, a signal to move the saucer is sent to the control device, and upon receiving this signal, the controller operates, for example, a cylinder, and the saucer 5 is moved around the rotary cylinder 6 as an axis. It can be accessed from below faucet 3A.

When the liquid supply device 3 receives a signal indicating that the saucer 5 has come off from under the faucet 3A, liquid supply starts. When this liquid supply reaches a predetermined amount, the liquid supply is stopped, but a signal sent at the same time as this stop activates the control device cylinder to return the saucer to its original position around the rotary cylinder 6. return.

In the embodiment, the explanation has been given using a cylinder as an example, but it goes without saying that a pre-gear or the like may also be used.

Therefore, the connection between the faucet 3A and the container 7 is interrupted by the saucer 5 when the supply is stopped. Subsequent liquid drips from the faucet will drip onto the saucer and will not drip onto the container.
The liquid dripped onto the saucer flows from the outlet 5A of the saucer 5 to the upper end opening of the rotary cylinder 6, and is collected in a liquid collection tank (not shown) through a pipe.

Incidentally, the rotary cylinder is disposed between each faucet 3A of the liquid supply device 3, and is connected to a pipe or the like and is rotatably attached.

The device for transferring the container to the second intermittent transfer conveyor is moved in response to the signal indicating that the liquid supply has been completed, and the container is transferred to the second intermittent transfer conveyor.

The container placed on the second intermittent moving conveyor is conveyed to a predetermined location by the second intermittent moving conveyor.

Effects Since the present invention is configured as described above, there is no need to drip excess liquid onto the container.
It is possible to precisely supply a fixed amount of liquid without soiling the lid of the container.

It goes without saying that the container conveyance device is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.
