[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for automatically transferring a hanger suspended from a trolley to another line in a hanger product transfer system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a trolley (not shown) in a hanger product transport system has its front and rear ends supported by rails, and hangs the hanger to run on the transport rail. The products hung on the hangers are manually transferred to another line and sorted, for example.

[0003]

However, such a transport system has a problem that the work efficiency is poor because the hangers are manually replaced. Moreover, since the trolley that has become empty after the hanger has been transferred is stored in the longitudinal direction, there is a problem that the storage rail needs to be long.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a number of hangers.
The crossing of the crossing rail on the traverse rail of the trolley
Position the ngering rail below the traverse rail.
A large number of hangers suspended from the trolley are installed at the same time.
Unload and transfer to the hanger delivery rail at the same time
An unloading and loading hook that can be lifted up and down at the crossing position
The above-mentioned problems are solved by the hanger transfer device.

[0005]

Operation: The trolley suspends a large number of hangers, runs sideways on the traverse rail, and approaches the unloading transfer hook. When the trolley is moved to near the removing goods loader hook, leaving goods loader <br/> hook engages in a number of hangers, simultaneously remove a number of hangers from the trolley, at the same time transferred to the delivery rails. Delivery rails, multi received from de goods loader hook
Transport several hangers to different lines.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hanger transfer device 20 includes a trolley traveling direction changing means 21, a trolley pull-in feeder 22, and an unloading hook (unloading transfer hook) 23.
And sending means 24. The trolley traveling direction changing means 21 includes a pair of rotating rails 29, 29. The pair of rotary rails 29, 29 are short rails for direction change / connection that rotate about 90 degrees by air or hydraulic cylinders, solenoids, motors (all are not shown), etc., and suspend a large number of hangers 25. The trolley 27 traveling on one transport rail 26 is mounted on the transport rail 26.
A pair of parallel pull-in rails ( transverse rails) that intersect with 2
It has the function of switching to 8, 28.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the trolley 27 includes a pair of traveling frames 31 and 31 having traveling rollers 30 and 30 which travel on rails such as a transport rail 26 (see FIG. 1) or a pull-in rail 28. It has a hanger suspension bar 32 which rotatably connects the traveling frame 31 and suspends the hanger 25. A plurality of protruding shafts 33 are provided on the hanger suspension bar 32 so that the front and rear positions of the suspended hanger 25 are not displaced. Trolley 27
The rail is traveled by a known method such as downward inclination of the rail, pulling of the chain, pressing of the cylinder (all are not shown).

As shown in FIG. 3, the trolley pull-in feeder 22 pulls the trolley on the rotating rails 29, 29 onto the pull-in rails 28, 28, and connects the storage rails 34, 28 connected to the extension lines of the pull-in rails 28, 28. 34 is a mechanism for traveling up to 34
5,35 and claws 36,3 provided on the chains 35,35
6 and 6. The unloading hook 23 is a plate-shaped member whose lower end is bent in a J shape and which moves up and down and moves left and right by air or a hydraulic cylinder, a solenoid, a motor (all are not shown), and the like. The unloading hook 23 is a pull-in rail.
28 and the sending-out rail 41 to be described later are three-dimensionally crossed.
It is installed so that it can be moved up and down and moved horizontally in the vicinity of the location. The delivery means 24 has a delivery rail 41 for guiding the hanger 25 and a chain 42 for traveling the hanger 25. The sending-out means 24 may be a screw conveyor (not shown) in which screw-shaped blades are attached around the rod-shaped member.

Next, the operation will be described. The trolley 27 traveling on the transport rail 26 has its pair of traveling frames 31, 31 turned about 90 degrees by the trolley traveling direction changing means 21 in accordance with the classification of the hanger products, and then the trolley drawing feeder. 22 is drawn into the pair of pull-in rails 28, 28 in a horizontal posture, and the pull-in rail 2
8 and 28 are laterally traveled and approach the unloading hook 23. The retracting operation is performed by the claw 3 of the trolley retracting feeder 22.
6 and 36 are brought into contact with the pair of traveling frames 31 and 31. As described above, the pair of traveling frames 31, 3
Since 1 is rotatably connected to the hanger suspension bar 32, as shown in FIG. 1, only the pair of traveling frames 31, 31 change their postures by 90 °, and the hanger suspension bar 32 remains unchanged. The retracting motion is performed in this posture. When the trolley 27 moves to the side of the unloading hook 23, the hanger 25 is ready to engage with the waiting unloading hook 23 (see FIGS. 7 and 8). The unloading hook 23 rises (see FIG. 9) and engages with the hook 43 of the hanger 25,
Pull up the hanger 25 (see FIG. 10).

Since the trolley 27 continues traveling as it is, the hanger 25 is left with the unloading hook 23 engaged (see 10). As a result, the hook 43 of the hanger 25 is unloaded from the hanger suspension bar 32 of the trolley 27. At this time, in the unloading hook 23, the trolley 27 is in the lateral direction, and the length L (see FIG. 2) of the unloading hook 23 is determined by the distance D between the pair of traveling frames 31, 31 of the trolley 27. Since it is narrow, a large number of hangers 25 can be simultaneously unloaded into the space between the pair of traveling frames 31, 31. The unloading hook 23 with the hanger 25 removed from the trolley 27 moves in the same direction as the traveling direction of the trolley 27, and
The hook 43 of is moved right above the delivery rail 41 (see FIG. 11). Then, the unloading hook 23 descends, and the hook 43 of the hanger 25 is engaged with the feed rail 41 (see FIG. 12). The sending-out means 24 carries the hanger 25 received from the unloading hook 23 to the next line.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the trolley 27 which has become empty is made to travel in the horizontal direction on the pull-in rail 28 by the trolley pull-in feeder 22 and is sent to the storage rail 34 for storage. Since the empty trolleys 27 are oriented horizontally, a large number of them are stored at close intervals. The stored empty trolley 27 is pulled out from the storage area 44 as needed. At this time, the direction of the empty trolley 27 is changed by the rotating trolley traveling direction changing rail 45.

[0012]

According to the hanger transfer device of claim 1 ,
Since the hangers are transferred by the unloading transfer hook, the hangers can be transferred automatically without manual labor, and the efficiency of sorting the hangers can be improved. Further, the hanger transfer device according to claim 1 is provided on a trolley.
