Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically true cans up, by providing a mark sensor on a conveyance passage for the cans mutually inverse in orientation, to judge whether each can is in the right orientation, and by mechanically inverting the can if its orientation is judged to be wrong, to true up all the cans in the right orientation. CONSTITUTION:Can 1 irregular in orientation are carried from a preceding process to a turret means 2 by a conveyor 3. When a sensor 8 has detected that the cans 1 are fully loaded on the conveyor 3, a pair of right and left turrets 9 are turned in the opposite directions to each other so that the cans 1 are pinched in recesses provided at prescribed intervals on the turrets and are then conveyed to a can sorter 5. During the conveyance, a mark sensor 12 detects the mark of each can 1 so that the can 1 in the right orientation is carried, as its, from a conveyor 16 to another conveyor 19 through a chute 20, but the can 1 not in the right orientation is carried to a chute 20' by protruding a sorting member 17 through the action of a cylinder 18, turned by 180 deg., and carried to the conveyor 19.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a can arranging device, particularly a can arranging device for arranging the front and back sides of actual cans that have become loose in the process after heat sterilization in the same direction.

Conventionally, for example, when retort sterilization is performed, the actual cans are collected in a packet, but after the sealing is done, the cans are placed in a water tank, etc.
There is a method of inserting actual cans into the t-i container, but in this case, it naturally results in uneven stacking, and after sterilization, it is necessary to align the backs of the actual cans in order to pack them side-by-side. Workers perform these four steps by hand. Since it is done manually, it not only reduces work efficiency but also requires a large number of workers, which is a major cause of high production costs.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, this invention uses a sensor to detect the front and back sides of a real can. For example, when the back side of a real can is detected, Lol lol canned Gara wo l
This provides a device that aligns Hj in one direction.

Next, this invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

A constantly variable speed plastic V11 conveyor 3 is installed to control the flow of actual cans 1 sent from the previous process and transport them to a turret device 2 that cuts and separates them at regular intervals. On the conveyor 3 there is a turret device 2, a can detection fold f14 for detecting the back of the stamp and the presence of actual cans 1υ, and a can shaker for sorting the collection 1 according to the can detection code. A can half-turning device 6 for half-turning one direction of the concentrating signal 1 divided into two directions by a device 5 and a can half-turning device 5 to 180 degrees.
◇ The first conveyor 3 is equipped with conveyor drive equipment such as a continuously variable speed controller and a drive motor. is driven by. Further, a first can detection sensor 8 is provided adjacent to the conveyor 3 for detecting whether or not the concentrator 1 is fully loaded on the conveyor 3.

The turret device 2 includes a pair of turrets 9, each having a shape suitable for cutting the concentrator 1 at regular intervals.
9, a turret clutch brake 10, and a turret drive device 11 incorporating a continuously variable transmission.

The can detection device 4 includes a sensor mounting bracket 13 that has a built-in mark sensor 12 for identifying the stamp on the collector 1 and whose mounting position can be changed, and a third can detection sensor for instructing the start of detection of the mark sensor 12. 15 and Marksen? -12
The third can detection sensor 15 instructs the end of detection.

The can shaking device 15 includes a first conveyor 3 and a second conveyor 16 provided adjacent to the conveyor 3. ! :
The vibration part operated by the marking discrimination signal of the mark sensor 12 is 17km/the cylinder 18 is the vibration part that is collected.

10 cans turning device 6aml conveyor 3 and 2 sheets conveyor 16
Two chutes 20 and 20' arranged between the conveyor 19 for conveying the canned fruit cans 1 in the same direction 1 and the end of the cans 1 and the next step are formed.

The shoot 2θ′ of one of the shoots 20.20′ is
The device 5 divides the concentrator 1 into two directions, front and back, and one direction (for example, good) is configured to be turned by 180 degrees and a half.

2111 This is a concave portion for holding a suitable number of concentrators 1 provided at regular intervals on both sides of the turret 9.9 and transporting them intermittently to the next work.

In addition, the mark sensor 12 detects the presence or absence of an engraving on the collection 1, the presence or absence of a seal, the presence or absence of a printed image, the presence or absence of 0 color printing, the difference between the painted surface and the plain surface fD, and determines whether the actual can is 1θ6 good. .

This invention will be explained in detail shortly.

From the 1lJ1 process, the fruit cans 1 with loose surface quality are conveyed to the turret device 2 by the first conveyor 3, and when the first can detection sensor 8 detects that the fruit cans 1 are fully loaded on the first conveyor 3, According to this projection 1u, the turret clutch play $10 rebrake is disengaged, the clutch is engaged, and the phantom turrets 9 and 9 rotate in opposite directions.

A pair of turrets 9.9 have an appropriate number of recesses 2 at regular intervals.
1 is provided, the concentrator 1 is intermittently conveyed to the device 5 while being held in each recess 21. Also, the concentrator 1 is placed on the first conveyor 3. When the can is not fully loaded, the first can detection sensor 8 does not detect a can, so the clutch of the turret clutch brake 10 is disengaged and the brake is turned on.
Stop rotation.

If can 1 and the fourth part 21 are not synchronized, can 1 will become turret l-9.
, 90 There is a risk of the cans being pinched and crushed by the claws, but if the neterette 9 is operated with the cans 1 closely lined up on the conveyor 3 as in the case of Jin, such a danger does not occur. .

When the can detection sensor 14 detects the actual can 1 while conveying the concentrator 1 from the turret device 2 to the can shaker device 5,
For this detection 1g, mark sensor-12it good can 1
Further, when the can 1 is conveyed, the signal 1 is detected by the third can detection sensor 15, and based on this detection signal, the mark sensor 12 detects the mark on the can 1. end.

The mark sensor 12, second can detection sensor 14, and third can detection sensor 15 of the can transporter 4 repeat the upward distribution operation every time the receiver 1 is conveyed at regular intervals. I now.

Upper I mark sensor 12θ Actual can 10 Inscription 1 to distinguish front and back It is divided into directions.

The collection 1 sorted in two directions is conveyed to the can conveyor 6 by the first conveyor 3 and the second conveyor 16, and for example, the collection 1 of one turn (to the can of J!1. Crane 3 conveyor 19 is turned 180 degrees by 20'.
The fruit cans are transported in the state of 1ijffl, and the fruit cans 1h are distributed in the other direction (towards Shigeru's cans).
The other one is not turned by the υ chute 20 and is conveyed as it is to the third conveyor 19.

L, the cans 1 are arranged on the crane 3 conveyor 19 with only the front side or the back side and are manually conveyed.

The present invention has the following unique effects due to the above configuration.

b) Since the narrow sides of the cans can be automatically aligned in one direction without the need for manual labor, it is possible to improve work efficiency and produce large spears, which is expected to reduce costs.

Since the conveyor is configured to have continuously variable speed, the speed can be changed to match the discrimination speed and shaking required by the line.

/・) By providing a turret device, the speed can be changed according to the double speed required by the line.

→ By removing the sensor mounting bracket t-a, the sensor υ storage position can be changed to cans, cans, and cans.

e) The first *exposure sensor't-& erecting part prevents the can from collapsing when the turret rotates.
