Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pallet transporting traverser conveyor used when, for example, a pallet is loaded with various products, parts and the like and transported in a factory.

Conventional technology For example, when an empty pallet is transported to a predetermined loading position in a factory or the like and products or parts are loaded, and then the pallet is transported to a predetermined transportation position, a hoist is used. It is possible to adopt a method of transporting the products by suspending them, but in this case, not only the loads loaded on the pallets may be rubbed against each other but also scratched, and the loads may be damaged. There is a risk not only in quality control but also in safety, such as the risk of losing balance and falling. Therefore, in general, trolleys, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, etc., which are relatively stable and can be safely transported without causing shaking like hoists, have been widely adopted. Especially when loading a large number of pallets in sequence, a pallet loading roller conveyor is arranged at one end of the pallet transportation slat conveyor in a direction orthogonal to this, and the same unloading roller conveyor is used at the other end. It is conceivable to use the traverser conveyor for pallet transportation arranged at. This traverser conveyor sequentially conveys an empty pallet to a pallet conveying slat conveyor side by a roller conveyor, transfers the pallet onto the conveyor, and then conveys and loads the pallet to a predetermined loading position by the conveyor. After that, the pallets in the loaded state are transferred onto the unloading roller conveyor, and the conveyor is used to convey them to a predetermined unloading position, so that the loading work can be performed efficiently. You can

However, in such a traverser conveyor, when the pallet is transferred from the roller conveyor to the slat conveyor, or from the slat conveyor to the roller conveyor, the pallet is once manually or lifted. Since the work had to be lifted, the work was troublesome and the work efficiency was lowered. Moreover, since both of the above-mentioned conveyors are installed and used on the floor, the load must be lifted at least to the upper surface transport level of the conveyor during the loading work, which is troublesome and dangerous. It was also. Further, there is a problem in that the above-mentioned conveyor installed on the floor obstructs the passage of workers, or this disturbs the workability of the site.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a traverser container for pallet transportation which is excellent in safety and workability.

Therefore, in this invention, by providing a roller conveyor part in a part of the slat conveyor, it is possible to easily and continuously transfer the pallets between the slat conveyor and the roller conveyor. In addition to being able to do so, it is installed in the floor so that the upper transfer level of both conveyors matches the floor level.

That is, the present invention is a pallet transport traverser conveyor including a slat conveyor and a roller conveyor arranged in a side portion of the conveyor in a mode orthogonal to the slat conveyor, in which a part of the slat conveyor is A pallet transport traverser, characterized in that a roller conveyor unit corresponding to the roller conveyor is provided, and both the conveyors are installed on the floor in a buried state in which the upper surface transport level of the roller conveyor is substantially matched with the floor level. The main point is a conveyor.

Action Since the roller conveyor part corresponding to the roller conveyor is provided in a part of the slat conveyor, when transferring the pallet between the conveyor and the roller conveyor, the pallet is moved laterally without being lifted as in the conventional case. Transferring can be done continuously only by itself, thus improving workability.

Also, since the slat conveyor and the roller conveyor are installed on the floor in a buried state in which the upper surface transfer level of the slat conveyor and the roller conveyor are substantially the same as the floor level, there is almost no unevenness on the floor surface, and there is no support for workers' living. There is no inconvenience that the conveyor is an obstacle and the work is difficult. Moreover, since the pallets always move at the floor level, loading work is easy.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a pallet transporting traverser conveyor according to the present invention will be described based on illustrated embodiments.

The traverser conveyor (1) shown in FIG. 1 comprises a pallet carrying slat conveyor (2), a pallet carrying roller conveyor (3) and a pallet carrying roller conveyor (4).

The slat conveyor (1) has a conveyor belt (8) in which a large number of strip-shaped slat plates (6) are connected to a conveyor chain (7) on sprocket wheels (5) at both ends driven by an electric motor. It is a bridge and is fitted in a conveyor installation groove (9) formed in the floor (F), and is installed in an embedded state in which the upper surface transport level of the conveyor (2) substantially matches the floor level.

On the other hand, in each of the roller conveyors (3) and (4), a large number of rollers (3a) and (4a) are arranged side by side.
The pallet carry-in roller conveyor (3) is provided on one side of the slat conveyor (2) on one end side in a two-row arrangement at a predetermined interval in a mode orthogonal to this.
Further, the pallet unloading conveyor (4) is provided in one row on the other end side of the slat conveyor (2) in a two-row arrangement at a predetermined interval in a manner orthogonal to this. Then, both roller conveyors (3) and (4) are fitted into the conveyor installation grooves (10) and (11) formed in the floor (F) like the slat conveyor (2), and the conveyors (3) ( The upper surface conveyance level of 4) is substantially in agreement with the floor level.

Moreover, the slat conveyor (2) is provided with roller conveyor parts (2a) (2a) corresponding to the roller conveyors (3) and (4) in a part thereof, and the pallet loading roller conveyor (3) is provided. Lifting the pallet (P) from the slat conveyor (2) to the slat conveyor (2) and from the slat conveyor (2) to the pallet unloading conveyor (4) Instead, the transfer can be completed simply by moving it laterally.

Thus, the pallet transport traverser conveyor (1)
Is used as follows.

As shown in FIG. 1, empty pallets (P) are sequentially transported from the pallet loading roller conveyor (3). At this time, the roller conveyor section (2a) of the slat conveyor (2)
(2a) is stopped in a state where it coincides with the roller conveyors (3) and (3). Then, the pallet (P) is laterally moved as it is from the roller conveyor (3) to the slat conveyor (2) so that the transfer is smoothly completed. After that, the slat conveyor (2) is driven to convey the pallet (P) to a predetermined loading position, and after loading the slat conveyor (2), the roller conveyor section (2a) (2a) moves the slat conveyor (2) to the pallet. The pallet (P) is moved to a position corresponding to the carry-out roller conveyor (4), and the pallet (P) is laterally moved to the roller conveyor (4) so that the pallet (P) is transferred to the conveyor (4) and conveyed to a predetermined pallet carry-out position. When the pallet (P) is transferred to the roller conveyor (4), the slat conveyor (2) automatically moves to a position where the roller conveyor parts (2a) and (2a) coincide with the pallet loading roller conveyor (3). To prepare for the next conveyance of the empty pallet (P).

The movement of the pallet (P) on the both roller pallets (3) and (4) is performed manually, but the reciprocating movement of the slat conveyor (2) is automatically performed by the electric motor.

Although the pallet loading roller conveyor (3) and the unloading roller conveyor (4) are both arranged on one side of the slat conveyor (2) in the above-mentioned embodiment, The roller conveyor (3) may be disposed on one side and the other roller conveyor (4) may be disposed on the other side, and further three or more rollers may be provided for one slat conveyor (2). A roller conveyor may be provided.

Effect of the Invention The pallet transporting traverser conveyor according to the present invention is, as described above, provided with the slat conveyor and the roller conveyor arranged on the side portion of the conveyor in a mode orthogonal to the slat conveyor. There is no risk of scratches caused by rubbing between the cargo loaded on the pallet and causing scratches when transporting, as in the case of transporting in a suspended state using It is excellent not only in quality control but also in safety, such as no danger.

Moreover, since a roller conveyor part corresponding to the roller conveyor is provided in a part of the slat conveyor, when transferring the pallet between the conveyor and the roller conveyor, the pallet is lifted as in the conventional case. The workability can be improved because the transfer can be continuously performed by simply moving it laterally.

In addition, since the slat conveyor and roller conveyor are installed on the floor in a buried state in which their upper surface transfer level is substantially the same as the floor level, there is no unevenness on the floor surface, and there is no need to support the traffic of workers. Further, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the conveyor becomes an obstacle and the work is difficult. Moreover, since the pallet is always located on the floor level, loading work can be performed easily and safely.
