Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for delivering a plate-like object such as a card.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional plate-like material delivery device such as a card stores a plate-like material and has a single plate-like material outlet, and a side moving part for moving the plate-like material from the plate-like material outlet in the side direction. It is equipped with. Then, the plate-like object in the container of the plate-like object delivering device is sent to the outside from the plate-like object outlet by the side moving part, and the plate-like objects are sequentially sent out by the same operation.

However, in the above-described plate-shaped material delivery device, there is only one plate-shaped material outlet, and the plate-shaped material such as a card can only be delivered from one direction. Therefore, for example, when managing a plate-like object such as a card, it is convenient for customers outside the counter to install a plate-like object sending device with the plate-like object outlet facing the outside of the counter. It is awkward for managers such as employees inside. That is, at the time of collecting a plate-like object such as a card or other trouble, the administrator has to go outside the counter or move the plate-like object feeding device to change the direction of the plate-like object outlet to the inside of the counter. It was

Therefore, the applicant of the present invention can send a plate-like object such as a card or the like in opposite directions from two plate-like object outlets provided on opposite side wall surfaces of the container as needed. We have already applied for a material delivery device (Japanese Patent Application No. 3-49882).

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 According to the plate-shaped material feeding device by the applicant, one of the plate-shaped material outlets which is provided 180 degrees apart is selected and the claw switching portion is set in that direction. When moved, the claw moving part hits the claw switching part and moves the claw upward on the moving table by the claw moving part to set the lowest plate-like object in the container to the position where the claw can be hooked. The position of the claw changes when the plate-like object is hooked and sent out from the selected plate-like object outlet and further moved to release the claw switching portion. After that, when the movable table is returned to its original position, the claw moving section again hits the claw switching section, and the claw moving section moves the claw downward on the movable table so that the claw does not catch the plate-like object. Since it returns to its original state, the plate-like objects can be sent out in the opposite directions to each other as needed. However, in this plate-like object feeding device, the claw has to make one reciprocation to send out one plate-like object, and there is a limit to the number that can be sent within a certain time.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has been made by improving the plate-shaped object delivery device by the present applicant, and the two plate-shaped object outlets are provided on both side wall surfaces facing the container. It is an object of the present invention to provide a plate-like object feeding device capable of sending out many plate-like objects such as cards in mutually opposite directions as needed.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a plate-shaped object delivery device of the present invention has a base and two plate-shaped object outlets at the lower ends of opposite side walls for accommodating a plurality of plate-shaped objects and facing each other. Installed on the base, two movable bases located below the container to move the plate-like object in the container forward and backward in the delivery direction, and movable vertically to the movable base. Also, two claws provided to move the bottommost plate-like object in the container forward and backward in the lateral direction, and when the plate-like object is delivered from the plate-like object outlet, the claws are moved upward and the claws are moved. Two claw moving parts that move downward when returning the claw, and two claw switching parts that switch the movement of the claws by the claw moving parts so as to send a plate-like object from the selected plate-like object outlet, The two moving bases are attached to an endless moving body at equal intervals, and the moving bodies are rotated forward and backward. A drive unit, it also consist of.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the plate-like object feeding device having the above-mentioned configuration, the plate-like object outlet in the direction to be sent out is selected, the two claw switching parts are set in this direction, and the drive part is normally rotated to move the endless moving body forward. When rotated, one moving table moves in the feeding direction of the plate-like object, and one claw moving section hits one claw switching section and one claw moving section moves one claw up onto one moving table. Direction, set the plate at the bottom of the container to the position where one claw hooks, and then send this plate out from the hook plate outlet and move further to move the one claw switching part. The position of the one claw changes when the one claw moving part is disengaged from. Then, the other moving table moves to the opposite side of the feeding direction of the plate-like object, the other claw moving section hits the other claw switching section, and the other claw moving section moves the other claw down on the other moving table. In the same direction, set the plate at the bottom of the container to a position where the other claw does not catch, and move the plate without catching it to move from the other claw switching part to the other claw moving part. When is removed, the position of the other claw changes.

After that, when the drive unit is rotated in the reverse direction to rotate the endless moving body in the reverse direction and one of the moving bases is returned to its original position, one of the claw moving sections comes into contact with the one of the claw switching sections again, and the one of the claw switching sections is returned. The one claw moving part moves one claw downward on the one moving base, and this time, the one claw returns to the original state without catching the plate-like object. Then, the other moving table moves in the plate-shaped object feeding direction, and when the other moving table is returned to its original position, the other claw moving section again contacts the other claw switching section, and the other claw moving section causes the other claw moving section. Move the other moving table upward, and this time the other claw hooks the plate-like object through the plate-like object outlet and returns to the original position.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view in which a part of a plate-shaped material delivery device of the present invention is partially sectioned, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a container, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing one main part of the plate-shaped material delivery device, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the relationship between one turning piece and the guide of the material feeding device, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are drawings similar to FIGS.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a plate-shaped material delivery device. The plate-shaped material delivery device 1 accommodates a base 2 and a plurality of plate-shaped materials 3 ... A container 5 having two plate-like object outlets 4 and 4a and installed on the base 2, and a plate-like object 3 located below the container 5 can be moved back and forth in the delivery direction. And two movable bases 6 and 6 provided on the base 2, and movable vertically on the movable bases 6 and 6, and the lowermost plate-like object 3 in the container 5 is movable forward and backward in the lateral direction. The two claws 7 and 7 and the claws 7 and 7 for delivering the plate-like object 3 from the plate-like object outlets 4 and 4a are moved upward so that the claws 7 and 7 are moved downward when returned. Two claw moving parts 8 and 8 to be moved, and the claw moving part 8 so that the plate-like object 3 is delivered from the selected plate-like object outlet 4 or 4a. , 8 are mounted on a tineming belt (endless moving body) 10 with two claw switching portions 9, 9 for switching the movement of the claws 7, 7 and the timing belt. And a drive unit 11 for rotating the 10 in the normal and reverse directions. Of the two mobile units 6 and 6, which have the same structure, only one will be described as necessary.

The base 2 mainly supports the container 5 and the moving bases 6, 6 and is made of a shaped steel such as an angle or a channel and installed on a floor or a canter. The container 5 is made of plastic, metal or the like and has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The container 5 is installed on the base 2 and the upper surface is sealed with a lid or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, plate-shaped object outlets 4 and 4a are provided at the lower ends of the opposing side walls of the container 5 so as to face each other. As will be described in detail later, these plate-like object outlets 4 and 4a are used to send the plate-like object 3 such as the above-mentioned card to the outside in combination with the operation of the claws 7 and 7 on the moving tables 6 and 6. belongs to. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom plate 12 of the container 5 has a concave portion 12a and a convex portion 12b. A roller 41, which will be described later, is loosely fitted in the concave portion 12a, and the convex portion 12b forms the container 5 on the base 2 thereof. It is for being placed on the container receiver of the base 2 when installed on top.

The movable tables 6 and 6 are located below the container 5 and are provided so as to be movable back and forth on a pair of rails 13 and 13 installed on the base 2. The claws 7, 7 are attached to the movable tables 6, 6 so as to be vertically adjustable. That is, the pawls 7 and 7 are attached to the movable bases 6 and 6 so as to be movable in the vertical direction by the shafts 14, 14 and 14, 14, and are elastically attached upward by elastic springs 15 and 15, and the double nut ( The height of the claws 7, 7 can be adjusted by (not shown).

The shape of the claw 7 is such that a convex portion 7a is provided at the central portion of the moving table 6 in the forward / backward movement direction, and the dimension in the width direction is smaller than the width dimension of the plate-like object outlets 4 and 4a of the container 5 described above. The condition is that Further, the height dimension H of the convex portion 7a is less than or equal to the thickness dimension (L) of the plate-like object 3 such as a card as shown in FIG. 7, and is smaller than the height dimension of the plate-like object outlets 4 and 4a. The condition is (H ≦ L).

Both sides of the convex portion 7a are flat, and both ends thereof are tapered 7b, 7b. This taper 7b, 7b is for preventing the plate-like object 3 from being caught at both ends other than the convex portion 7a when the claw 7 moves back and forth.

The moving tables 6 and 6 move forward and backward on the rails 13 and 13 by the driving unit 11. The drive unit 11 has the timing belt 10 as described above, and the moving bases 6, 6 are attached to the timing belt 10 at the same intervals by the fasteners 16, 16. The timing belt 10 is wound around timing pulleys 19 and 20 attached to shafts 17 and 18, respectively. Then, the shaft 17 is rotated forward and backward by a motor 23 capable of forward and reverse rotation via a worm wheel 21 and a worm 22, which causes one moving table 6 to advance on the rails 13 and 13 and at the same time to the other side. It becomes possible to retreat the moving table 6 of.

When the plate-like object 3 is sent out in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, the movable bases 6 and 6 have a forward / backward movement range in which the movable base 6 shown in FIG. When the plate-like object 3 is sent out in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1, the moving base 6 shown in FIG. 5 is used as the other start and stop position sensor (both not shown). Do it. When the plate-like object 3 is sent out in the direction of arrow A on the moving table 6 shown in FIG. 3, the starting position sensor detects that the claw 7 is outside the container 5, and the claw 7 is moved from that position. Move in the direction of the line A, hook the lowest plate 3 of the container 5 on the convex portion 7a of the claw 7 to completely deliver it from the plate outlet 4, and further detect the stop position sensor to move the claw 7 to the plate. It detects the state where it has not completely come out from the outlet 4 and stops it at that position, and the next plate-like object 3 is loaded on the convex portion 7a of the pawl 7, and therefore the pawl 7 after the stop has the pawl 7 in the direction of arrow B. The plate-like object 3 does not get caught on the convex portion 7a even after returning to the position, and the claw 7 can smoothly return. At this time, the moving table 6 shown in FIG. 5 moves in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 1, but since the claw 7 is moved downward by the claw moving section 8 described later, the moving table 6 is caught by the plate-like object 3. There is nothing that 6 does not move. When the plate-like object 3 is delivered in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1, the above case is reversed.

The claw moving portions 8 and 8 have bars 25 and 25 rotatably attached to the claws 7 and 7 via shafts 24 and 24, and a rotating piece 26 is provided below the bars 25 and 25. , 26 are rotatably attached via shafts 27, 27. The rotating piece 26 has a shape in which another L-shaped plate 29 is attached to the L-shaped plate 28, and is movably attached to a fulcrum shaft 30 fixed to the moving table 6. Upper and lower sliding wheels 31 and 32 are rotatably attached to both ends of an L-shaped plate 29 of the rotating piece 26.

A tension spring 33 is attached between the hole 28 a of the L-shaped plate 28 of the rotating piece 26 and the movable table 6. As a result, the rotating piece 26 is constantly urged by the tension spring 33 in the clockwise direction in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5 and pushes the bar 25 downward, so that the pawl 7 resists the spring force of the resilient spring 15. It urges downward.

The claw switching portions 9 and 9 have levers 34 and 34 slidably mounted on the base 2, and the lever 34 has convex portions 35 and 35. A guide 37 is movably mounted on the convex portions 35, 35 of the lever 34 via a positioning plate 36 having upper and lower setters 36a and 36b. As shown in FIG. 3, the guide 37 includes an upper guide plate 38 having open ends 38a and 38b at both ends and a guide plate 39 having open ends 39a and 39b at both ends in a spacer member 40. Fixed at regular intervals. Therefore, by moving the lever 34, it is possible to move the guide 37 in the vertical direction.

Reference numeral 41 in FIG. 1 is a roller pivotally supported by the base 2 via a mounting base (not shown), which assists in feeding the plate-like material 3. Further, reference numeral 42 in FIG. 1 denotes a guide roller which is also axially supported by the base 2 via a mounting base (not shown), and the plate-shaped object 3 delivered from the plate-shaped material outlet 4 is placed at a predetermined position. It is a guide.

Next, the operation of the plate-shaped material delivery device 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. First, open the lid of the container 5 and store the required number of plate-like objects 3 such as cards, place the container 5 on the base 2 and set it as shown in FIG. Set both start and stop position sensors so that the plate 3 is delivered in the A direction. In this state, one of the claws 7 in FIG. 3 rotates in the clockwise direction about the fulcrum shaft 30 by the tension spring 33, and pulls the bar 25 downward by the shaft 27. 7 is in the lower position against the spring force of the elastic springs 15, 15. In this state, coins, banknotes, special coins, special cards, etc. are inserted into the plate-shaped article delivery device 1 to satisfy the delivery conditions of the plate-shaped article 3 of this device. The shaft 17 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 3 by the worm 22 and the worm wheel 21, and the moving base 6 of FIG. 3 is moved in the direction of arrow A in FIGS. 1 and 3 by the timing belt 10 via the timing pulley 19. When the lower sliding wheel 32 of the rotating piece 26 hits the open end 39a of the lower guide plate 39 of the guide 37 and moves further, the rotating piece 26 resists the spring force of the tension spring 33 and moves counterclockwise. Then, the state becomes K1 in FIG. In this state, the shaft 27 rises and the bar 25 also rises, and accordingly, the claw 7 is moved to the upper position by the elastic springs 15 and 15, that is, it is convenient for delivering the lowest plate-like member 3 in the container 5. Come in a good position. The position of the claw 7 is adjusted in advance by a double nut so that the claw 7 comes to this position. Therefore, the plate-like object 3 is hooked on the convex portion 7a of the claw 7 and delivered from the plate-like object outlet 4. When the pawl 7 further moves and the rotating piece 26 is disengaged from the guide 37, the tension spring 33 operates and the rotating piece 26 becomes the state of K 2 in FIG. 8. In this state, the claw 7 is at the lower position, which is the same as when starting. When the motor 23 rotates in the reverse direction and the movable table 6 in FIG. 3 moves in the B direction, the lower sliding wheel 32 of the turning piece 26 hits the open end 39b of the lower guide plate 39, and when it further moves, the turning piece 26 pulls the tension spring. It rotates clockwise along the spring force of 33 and becomes the state of K3 in FIG. In this state, the shaft 27 is further lowered, so that the bar 25 is also lowered, and accordingly, the pawl 7 is moved to the lower position against the spring force of the elastic springs 15, 15.

Therefore, the claw 7 can return to the original position without being hooked by the claw 7 on the next plate-shaped object 3 in the container 5. At this time, the other claw 7 in FIG. 5 is in a position completely opposite to the position of the one claw 7 in FIG. 3, and the one claw 7 moves in the A direction to move the plate-like object 3 into a plate shape. When sending out from the object outlet 4, the other claw 7 moves in the B direction without hooking the plate-like object 3. Therefore, the one and the other claws 7 and 7 perform the same operation with a delay of a half circumference with respect to the timing belt 10, and each time the timing belt 10 rotates forward and backward by 0.5 rotations, the two plate-like objects 3 are formed into a plate-like shape. It can be delivered from the product outlet 4.

Therefore, as in the conventional example, the timing belt 10 rotates 0.5 times and the plate 7 is delivered from the plate-shaped object outlet 4 by the claw 7, and the claw 7 is rotated back by 0.5 rotation to return the claw 7 to the original position. Since the plate-like object 3 is not returned by returning to the position and the same thing is repeated again, it is possible to send out the plate-like object 3 twice as much. By repeating the above-mentioned operation, it is possible to successively send double the plate-shaped material 3 from the plate-shaped material outlet 4.

Next, when the plate-like object 3 is to be sent out in the B direction in FIG. 1, first, the one claw 7 in FIG. 3 is set to the A direction side in FIG. 1, that is, the position in FIG. Next, the levers 34, 34 of the pawl switching portions 9, 9 are pushed in the A direction or pulled in the B direction so that the convex portions 35, 35 and 35, 35 of the levers 34, 34 are positioned on the upper setter 36a of the positioning plates 36, 36. Move from 36a to lower setters 36b, 36b. As a result, when the guide 37 descends to move the movable table 6 of FIG. 3, the upper sliding wheel 31 of the rotating piece 26 comes into contact with the open ends 38a and 38b of the upper guide plate 38. Then, in this state, when the plate-shaped material delivery device 1 satisfies the delivery conditions of the plate-shaped material 3 and the motor 23 is rotated, the movable table 6 starts to move in the B direction, and the upper sliding wheel 31 of the rotating piece 26 is moved. , When the guide 37 further comes into contact with the open end 38b of the upper guide plate 38 of the guide 37 and moves further, the rotating piece 26 rotates counterclockwise against the spring force of the tension bar 33 and becomes the state of R1 in FIG. . In this state, the shaft 27 rises and the bar 25 also rises, and accordingly, the claw 7 is convenient for delivering a position above the elastic springs 15, 15, that is, the lowest plate-like object 3 in the container 5. Come in a good position. Therefore, the plate-like object 3 is hooked on the convex portion 7a of the claw 7 and delivered from the plate-like object outlet 4a. When the pawl 7 further moves and the rotating piece 26 is disengaged from the guide 37, the tension spring 33 operates and the rotating piece 26 becomes the state of R2 in FIG. In this state, the claw 7 is in the lower position, which is the same as when starting. When the motor 23 rotates in the reverse direction and the moving table 6 moves in the direction A, the upper sliding wheel 31 of the rotating piece 25 hits the open end 38a of the upper guide plate 38, and when it further moves, the rotating piece 25 of the tension spring 33 moves. It rotates clockwise along with the spring force to the state of R3 in FIG. In this state, the shaft 27 is further lowered, so that the bar 25 is also lowered, and accordingly, the pawl 7 is moved to the lower position against the spring force of the elastic springs 15, 15. Therefore, the claw 7 can be returned to the original position without being caught by the claw 7 on the next plate-like object 3 in the container 5.

At this time, since the other claw 7 in FIG. 5 is in a position completely opposite to the position of the one claw 7 in FIG. 3, it is different from the case where the plate-like object 3 is fed in the A direction. Similarly, the operation opposite to that of the one claw 7 is performed. As a result, the two plate-like objects 3 can be delivered from the plate-like object outlet 4a every time the timing belt 10 rotates forward and backward by 0.5 revolutions. By repeating the above-described operation, the plate-like object 3 can be sequentially delivered from the plate-like object outlet 4.

[0027]

[Effect of device]

 As described above in detail, according to the plate-shaped object delivery device of the present invention, two plate-shaped object outlets can be freely selected, and the movable body is rotated forward and backward by 0.5 rotations from the selected plate-shaped object outlet. By doing so, it is possible to send out two plate-like objects. Therefore, the present invention has twice as much capacity as the conventional one.
