Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a forced feeding device for containers with a flower-shaped cross section used in the front stage of an automatic packaging machine. The present invention also relates to a forced feeding device for a flower-shaped cross-sectional container, which smoothly feeds a flower-shaped cross-sectional container having different diameters at the top and bottom and having an uneven main portion onto a mount via a timing screw and an endless belt.

"Prior Art" Conventionally, timing screws have been used as a means for aligning the packaged products fed into an automatic packaging machine from a direction different from one direction in the same direction. When a packaged item such as a cylindrical body is sent using the timing screw, a guide such as a holding rail is used to prevent items sent from different directions from leaving the timing screw. The members are arranged at required intervals.

Also, a forced feeding device is well known, which runs while pinching and pressing objects fed from different directions via upper and lower or left and right supply conveyors.

``Problem to be Solved by the Invention'' However, in the conventional forced feeding device, the unevenness of the flower-shaped cross-sectional container comes into contact with the rotating timing screw, so that the flower-shaped cross-sectional container is rotated at the same time as it moves forward. Since rotational inertia is acting at the moment of separation from the timing screw, the mating with one of the mounts does not go smoothly, and interference is likely to occur at the mating point.

In addition, since the timing screw and the guide member are configured to have approximately the same length, the moment the timing screw and guide member send the container to the supply conveyor side, the flower-shaped cross-sectional container travels at the required angle in the direction of travel. In many cases, the particles do not reach the mount of the supply conveyor inside the container and become stagnant, causing trouble.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to provide an endless belt longer than the timing screw to smoothly feed the flower-shaped cross-sectional container onto the mount on the supply conveyor side.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The structure of the present invention, that is, the technical means for solving the above technical problems, is as follows.

In a device that feeds a flower-shaped cross-section container conveyed from a direction different from the traveling direction of a mount conveyed by a supply conveyor onto the mount via a timing screw, the flower-shaped cross-section container is held together with the timing screw. In order to achieve this, an endless belt is arranged that runs parallel to the timing screw and in synchronization with the feeding of the timing screw, and by positioning the tip of the endless belt on the side of the introduction conveyor, the belt can be moved along with the introduction conveyor. The cross-sectional flower-shaped container to be conveyed is fed into the timing screw, and the rear end of the endless belt is disposed beyond the supply conveyor, so that the cross-sectional flower-shaped container is placed on a mount conveyed together with the supply conveyor. The reason is that the shape container is sent.

"Operation" With the above technical means, one of the mounts is bent into the desired shape by a known mount folding device,
When moving forward in this state, the other flower-shaped cross-sectional container running parallel to the mount is pressed by an endless belt running at the same speed as the timing screw as it moves forward via the timing screw. Since the rotation of the flower-shaped container in cross section is suppressed, interference between the containers is eliminated, and the endless belt runs at a higher place than a mount receiving member such as the fingers of a known conveyor, so it impedes the advancement of the mount. without, and
The flower-shaped container is smoothly delivered onto the mount on the supply conveyor side.

"Example" An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a timing screw, and the tip 11 of the timing screw 10 is rotatably disposed on a bearing disposed on the introduction conveyor 12 side and communicates with a drive mechanism 15. Further, the rear end 13 of the timing screw is rotatably impeded by a bearing disposed close to the supply conveyor 14 side.

16 is an endless belt, and the endless belt 16 is suspended between a driving pulley 17 and driven pulleys 18 and 19 arranged in a substantially triangular shape.

The driving pulley 17 is set inside the introduction conveyor 12, the driven pulleys 18 and 19 are arranged parallel to the supply conveyor 14, and the endless belt 16 between the driving pulley 17 and the driven pulley 19 is connected to a timing screen. It is arranged parallel to U10.

The endless belt 16 is connected to the supply conveyor 1
4, the drive pulley 17 and driven pulleys 18, 19 are located higher than a support member (not shown) such as a finger of the supply conveyor 14.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a pressing member which suppresses the retreat of the endless belt 16 by a flower-shaped container in cross section between the timing screw 10 and the endless belt 16, and a groove substantially the same as that of the endless belt 16 is formed in the side wall of the pressing member 20.

21 is a mount folding device, and the folding device 2
1, a receiving member such as a mount is formed into a mount having a substantially L-shaped cross section.

When the L-shaped mount is advanced by the supply conveyor 14, a container with a flower-shaped cross section is fed onto the mount, and then one side stands vertically, forming a mount 22 with a substantially 〓-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. .

23 is an automatic packaging machine installed after the device of the present invention.

24 is a mount supply device.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a container shaped like a flower in cross section with different diameters at the top and bottom as shown in FIG.
The lower part (ground) 252 is formed into a flower-shaped cross section.

``Effect of the Idea'' A container 25 with a flower-shaped cross section with a different vertical diameter is advanced from the introduction conveyor 12 by the timing screw 10 while the mount 22 is running at a required speed on the supply conveyor 14 side. When the container 25 has a flower-shaped cross section, it moves forward while being held by the endless belt 16 that runs in synchronization with the feeding speed of the timing screw 10, and when it leaves the timing screw 10, the container 25 has a flower-shaped cross section. The container 25 moves forward due to inertia, and at the same time the endless belt 16 runs.
The paper is biased by the feed conveyor 14 and fed onto the mount 22 of the supply conveyor 14.

Thereafter, one side of the mount 22 stands vertically, and as it moves forward, it is sent in this state to the next stage automatic packaging machine 23 for packaging.

As described above, the cross-sectional flower-shaped container 2 having unevenness
5 has a different contact area with the timing screw 10, but is properly pressed by the endless pressing belt 16, so that the container 25 has a flower-shaped cross section.
The flower-shaped cross-section container 25 does not rotate and is urged by the endless pressing belt.
Since it has separated from the timing screw, it stagnates and troubles such as collision with the succeeding flower-shaped container 25, that is, interference, are eliminated.

In addition, since the pressing endless belt 16 runs at a higher place than the mount receiving member of the supply conveyor 14, it does not obstruct the progress of the mount of the supply conveyor and supplies containers with a flower-shaped cross section sent by the introduction conveyor. This invention has the unique effect of being able to feed it smoothly onto the mount of the conveyor.
