Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to surely put several parts which have been set in a line on a mounting bed, on a conveyor apart from each other, by pushing out the parts with the use of a pusher plate which is inclined upward in the travelling direction of the conveyor. CONSTITUTION:A part mounting bed 1 is provided at its both sides with guides 2, 3 between which a plurality of suction holes 4 are formed in the bed 1 in one line, and the front end part 5 of the bed 1 is inclined. Meanwhile a conveyor 6 is disposed above the part mounting bed 1 in such a condition that a part of the conveyor 6 is held on the bed 1. Further, a pusher plate 7 having its front end inclined in the direction opposite to the inclined direction of the part mounting bed 1, is disposed between the guides 2, 3 of the mounting bed 1 so that the pusher plate 7 may be moved toward the conveyor 6 by means of a cylinder 8. With this arrangement several parts 10 which are sucked up by the suction holes 4 at the front section 9 of the pusher plate 7, horizontally travel on the mounting bed 1 in association with the movement of the pusher plate 7 toward the conveyor 6, and are put on the conveyor 6, successively from the right side along the inclination of the front end part 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically feeding small plate-shaped parts punched out by, for example, a press onto a conveyor, in which the parts are prevented from overlapping each other.

FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the conveyor 100 and the parts 101 to 105 transferred by the conveyor 10Q.
and 104 indicate an overlapping state.

Here, in order to automatically supply the parts 101 to 105 to the conveyor 100 without relying on human hands, and to prevent the parts from overlapping each other as in, for example, 103 and 104, it is necessary to take some measures.

The present invention takes these points into consideration and will be described below with reference to an embodiment of the drawings.

In Figures 2 and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a component mounting table, which has guides 2 and 3 on both sides.A plurality of suction holes 4 are provided in a line between the guides 2 and 3, and the tip 5 is inclined. I'm letting you do it. Reference numeral 6 denotes a conveyor that moves in the direction of the arrow, and its relationship with the component mounting table 1 is such that a part of the component mounting table 1 is placed on the conveyor 6 as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 7 denotes an extrusion plate that is movable in the direction of the conveyor 6 by a cylinder 8, and its tip 9 is inclined in the opposite direction to the component mounting table 1. 10 is suction hole 4
The parts (corresponding to 101 to 105 in FIG. 1) that are attracted to the parts shown in FIG. 1 may be handled manually or mechanically. Figure 4 shows parts 1,
When 0 is placed normally, FIG. 6 shows a case where they partially overlap.

First, when the component 10 is placed normally in the suction hole 4 as shown in FIG. 4, the cylinder 8 is operated. Then, the extrusion plate 7 moves in the direction of the conveyor 6, and the tip 9 of the extrusion plate 7 causes the component 10 to move horizontally on the mounting table 1.

Therefore, since the tip end 6 of the mounting table 1 is inclined, among the many parts 1o, those on the right side of the drawing are transferred to the conveyor 6 as shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the extrusion plate 7 has moved most toward the conveyor, and in this state, among the many parts 10, the one on the left side of the figure is transferred onto the conveyor 6. At this point, the extrusion plate 7 is restored, but the parts 10 transferred to the conveyor 6 (the parts that were sequentially transferred from the right side of the drawing among many parts) are moved in the direction of the arrow by the conveyor 6 itself. move in the same direction.

Next, even if the parts overlap each other as shown in 103 and 104 in FIG. 1 or in FIG. . To explain this situation using Fig. 8, (A) is part 1.
0' and 10'' are moving in the direction of the conveyor 6 in a heavy state, (b) is the state where part 10 is about to be placed on the conveyor 6, and 11 is the state where part 1oη is placed on the conveyor 6, while the part 10' shows how the inclination of the tip end 9 of the extrusion plate 7 delays the transfer of the part 10η to the conveyor 6.

In other words, according to this embodiment, a large number of parts 10 arranged in a row (in this case, the parts may overlap each other) are pushed out onto the extrusion plate 7 which is inclined in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the conveyor 6. At the same time, the base of the extrusion plate 7 and the tip 5 of the mounting table 1, which is the base of the component 10, are tilted in the opposite direction to the tip 9 of the extrusion plate 7 on the conveyor 6. It is something that

Therefore, a large number of parts 10 are transferred to the conveyor 6 one after another as the conveyor 6 moves. , the inclination of the mounting table 1 and the conveyor 6
can be separated from its relationship with the movement of

Furthermore, since the parts 10 do not overlap each other when placed on the conveyor 6, there is no need to inspect them at this point, and it is advantageous to automatically assemble the parts using the parts transferred on the conveyor 6. .

As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, parts can be reliably separated and placed on a conveyor, and the practical effects are outstanding.
