Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application] The present invention adsorbs and transfers a fixed number of tiles when stacking press-molded tile bases in a sagger for firing or when unloading the tiles after firing. It relates to a box for adsorbing tiles used for cleaning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an automatic tile production line, a tile base material that has been press-molded and conveyed is packed in a jar for firing, or the tile after firing is jard and transferred to an unloading line, Furthermore, when storing in a storage case, multiple suction cups are provided on the bottom surface of the box body that forms the negative pressure chamber inside.
A method is used in which a fixed number of tiles are sucked and transferred by a tile suction box that is mounted so as to project .

[0003]

By the way, various kinds of tiles having different dimensions are appropriately switched and flown in the production line, and therefore, conventionally, the arrangement of the suction cups corresponding to the type of the tiles is performed. A plurality of types of boxes with different numbers are prepared in advance, and each time the type of tile is switched, the entire box is replaced. However, in this method, since a large box is replaced, it is time-consuming and inefficient, and a large space is required to store various boxes.

Further, there are also used those in which small suction cups are finely arranged and mounted on the entire lower surface so as to be compatible with various tiles. Depending on the type of tile, such as a large tile, it may not be possible to reliably adsorb.

[0005]

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the tile suction box of the present invention is constructed so that only the lower surface plate having a suction cup attached thereto can be inserted and removed.

[0006]

[Function] According to the type of tile, a lower surface plate with suction cups arranged and attached at optimum positions is prepared in advance, and each time the type of tile is switched in the production line, only the lower surface plate is removed and replaced. To do.

[0007]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, since suction is performed in a state in which suction cups are properly arranged according to the type of tile, reliable suction can be performed. In particular, since only the lightweight bottom plate needs to be inserted and removed, replacement work can be done easily in a short time, manufacturing efficiency can be improved, and only the bottom plate needs to be stored. This has the effect of keeping the space small.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In the suction box of this embodiment, the front and rear frames 1 and 2 and the left and right frames 3 and 3 are assembled in a rectangular shape, and the upper surface plate 5 is covered thereon, and they are integrated by bolts (not shown). It is assembled. The lower end of the front frame 1 is cut out by the thickness of a lower plate 8 to be described later to form an insertion opening 1a, and the fitting grooves 6 are formed across the inner surfaces of the left and right frames 3 and the rear frame 2. Are formed.

The lower plate 8 is formed in a rectangular shape that fits over the insides of the left and right frames 3 and the rear frame 2 from the insertion opening 1a of the front frame 1, and a plurality of suction cups 9 are aligned and attached so as to project downward. ing. The lower surface plate 8 extends over the front edge in the insertion direction and the left and right side edges, and is fitted into the above-described fitting groove 6.
0 is formed, and a stopper plate 12 that abuts the front surface of the front frame 1 is attached to the rear edge.
The lower surface plate 8 is made of a plurality of types in which the arrangement of the suction cups 9 is changed according to the type of tiles put on the production line.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lower surface plate 8 is fitted with the fitting projections 10 on the left and right side edges into the fitting grooves 6 of the left and right frames 3 from the insertion opening 1a of the front frame 1. Then, when the fitting protrusion 10 of the front edge is fitted into the fitting groove 6 of the rear frame 2, the stopper plate 12 hits the front frame 1 and the set screw 14 is inserted into the mounting hole 13 formed in the stopper plate 12. 2 by screwing into the screw hole 15 formed in the front frame 1 through
A box body 17 as shown in 3 is assembled. A negative pressure chamber 19 is formed inside the box body 17 by connecting the connection port 18 protruding from the upper surface plate 5 to a negative pressure source (not shown). The suction box having such a structure is attached to the drive member (not shown) by the attachment portion 20 provided on the upper surface plate 5 in a hanging manner. It is designed to reciprocate with a carry-out conveyor that carries out tiles.

If the lower surface plate 8 in which the suction cups 9 are arranged according to the type of tile being manufactured is attached, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the suction cups 9 correspond directly to the tiles a accommodated in the sagger A, respectively, and the tiles a are surely adsorbed by the suction cups 9 and transferred onto the carry-out conveyor.

When the type of the tile a is changed, the set screw 14 is removed and attached, and the bottom plate 8 is removed,
The bottom plate 8 corresponding to the new type of tile a may be attached in the same procedure as above.

That is, according to the present embodiment, when the type of the tile a is changed, it is only necessary to replace it with a dedicated lower surface plate 8 corresponding thereto, whereby the suction transfer of the tile a is surely performed. Of course, since only the lightweight lower plate 8 is inserted and removed, the replacement work can be performed in a short time, and the space for storage can be small.
