Detailed Description of the Invention

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for separating and transporting a rod-shaped work into a lug on a conveyor which moves upward from one end surface of a work storage unit in which the work is accumulated in the lateral direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Next, the conventional apparatus shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described. A work storage unit 103 storing a large number of works 102 is fixed to the base 101. On one end surface of the work storage unit 103, a transfer device 104 that separates and transfers the works 102 one by one is arranged in an inclined state. Next, the carrying device 104 will be described. A conveyor 105 including a belt and a chain is wound around a rotation drive source (not shown). Therefore, the conveyor 105 is operated by a rotary drive source (not shown). The work 10 is placed on the upper surface of the conveyor 105.
A number of lugs 106 for separating and holding the two from the work storage unit 103 one by one are fixed.

The width 107 of the lug 106 is the width of the work 102.
Is slightly larger than the width of the workpiece 102, and the length of the lug 106 is also slightly larger than the length of the workpiece 102 or set to be substantially the same. Reference numeral 108 is a guide member for preventing the work 102 from protruding from the lug 106. In addition, although an appropriate interval is set between the lug and the lug,
It goes without saying that the interval is set smaller than the width of the work 102.

Next, the operation will be described. After the work 102 is loaded into the work storage unit 103, the conveyor 105 starts to rotate when the rotary drive source is operated. By the rotation of the conveyor 105, the works 102 located above the lugs 106 are separated one by one, and the works 10 are placed in the lugs 106.
Hold 2 loosely. Since only one work can be held in one lug, and since the conveyor 105 is inclined, two works will not fit in one lug, and even if they overlap, the upper work will slip. It will fall.

[0005]

By the way, in the above-mentioned prior art, when the work 102 is separated,
The work 102 is attached to both ends 106a and 106b of the lug 106.
There is a case where the work 102 is not loosely fitted to and held by the wobble lug 106 because the vicinity of both ends of the work is hit. this is,
This phenomenon does not occur if the work 102 is accurately stored in the work storage 103 in parallel with the lug 106.
Generally, it becomes slightly inclined, and this occurs when the lug 106 contacts the work in this inclined state. Moreover, this phenomenon is caused by the conveyor 1.
It becomes remarkable as the speed of 05 is increased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a large number of lugs for separately holding one rod-shaped work on one end surface of a work storage unit in which rod-shaped works are accumulated in a lateral direction. In a rod-shaped work separating and conveying device in which a conveyor arranged in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction is inclined, the length of the lug is made sufficiently shorter than the work length, and the center of the lug matches the barycentric position of the rod-shaped work. It is characterized in that it is attached so that

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described in detail. A work storage unit 3 in which a large number of rod-shaped works 2 are stored is fixed to the base 1. On one end face of the work storage unit 3, a carrier device 4 for separating and carrying the bar-shaped works 2 one by one is arranged in an inclined state. Next, the carrying device 4 will be described. A conveyor 5 including a belt and a chain is wound around a rotary drive source (not shown). Therefore, the conveyor 5 is operated by a rotary drive source (not shown). On the upper surface of the conveyor 5, the rod-shaped work 2 is placed in the work storage unit 1
A large number of lugs 6 that are separated and held for each book are fixed. The above configuration is almost the same as the conventional technique. The feature of the present invention resides in the rug 6 and how to attach the lug 6 to the conveyor 5.

The width 7 of the lug 6 is set to be slightly larger than the width of the rod-shaped work 2. Further, the length of the lug 6 is set to about half the length of the rod-shaped work 2, but it may be set to about 1/3. Further, the lug 6 is fixed to the conveyor 5 such that the center (line) 9 of the lug 6 and the center of gravity 10 of the rod-shaped work 2 coincide with each other.
Reference numeral 11 is a guide member for preventing the rod-shaped work 2 from protruding from the lug 6, and 12 is a center line of the conveyor 5.

Further, although a gap is appropriately set between the lugs 6 and 6, it is needless to say that the gap is set smaller than the width of the rod-shaped work 2 as in the prior art. . A rubber plate or the like may be formed on the inner side of the lug 6 so as not to damage the rod-shaped work 2 and to prevent rebound, and an elastic coating or the like may be formed.

Next, the operation will be described. By making the length of the lug 6 sufficiently shorter than the length of the rod-shaped work 2, both ends of the rod-shaped work 2 are prevented from contacting both ends of the lug 6 even if the rod-shaped work 2 is slightly inclined. You can Further, the center 9 of the lug 6 and the center of gravity 1 of the rod-shaped work 2
By matching 0 with each other, stable transportation can be performed even during transportation.

[0011]

According to the present invention, a conveyor in which a large number of lugs for separating and holding one rod-shaped work are arranged on one end surface of a work storage unit in which rod-shaped works are deposited in the lateral direction at a right angle to the traveling direction is inclined. In the bar-shaped workpiece separating and conveying device provided, the length of the lug is made sufficiently shorter than the length of the workpiece, and the center of the lug is attached so as to coincide with the center of gravity of the bar-shaped workpiece. It is possible to accurately separate and convey one rod-shaped work to one.
