Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a system for sorting cans of a plurality of types randomly placed on a line to a predetermined delivery line.
Regarding c, this sorting is done based on the color of the label attached to the outer periphery of the canned food.The gist is that all the canned food supplied from the supply line is stopped twice, and then the canned food is rotated and Consisting of a direction change mechanism that orients the canned food, a color-based sensor that issues a signal by distinguishing the color of a predetermined position of the canned can at this time, and a sorting am that allocates all the canned cans to a predetermined delivery line based on the signal. The automatic sorting of canned goods according to the percentage is carried out by the device.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a supply line, which is constituted by, for example, an Everbelt conveyor, and a plurality of types of cans K are carried on this line 1. It was discovered.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a direction changing mechanism, which temporarily stops the canned food K supplied from the above-mentioned supply line 1 and rotates it to face a certain direction, and senses that the canned food K is supplied. at the approximate center of the proximity switch 3, the roller 5 equipped with a motor 4 and rotatably supported, the small rollers 8, 9 with a rotatable VC attached to the tip of the cylinder 6.7, and the tip VC-f of the cylinder 10. rx from the connected direction detection plate 11.

The rear end of this direction detection plate 11 is rotatably supported, and the tip is divided into two parts, each having a different electrode 11a.

11d is connected, and when the solder body of the can is located at point a, a current flows.

The direction change mechanism 2 first detects the canned food K supplied through the supply line 1 using the proximity switch 3, and operates the cylinder 6 to prevent the canned food from moving forward and temporarily block it. make it stop.

Next, the cylinders 7 and 10 are sequentially operated so as to surround the can K, and the roller 5 is rotated via the motor 4 to completely rotate the can.

When the can K rotates and the t-poles 11a and 11a' at the tip of the direction detection all come into contact with the solder part of the body, 1! The current flows, causing the cylinders 6, 7 and lO to retreat and directing the canned food in a fixed direction, resulting in Φ.

t2. The tr is a color-specific sensor that emits a signal when it detects a certain color, so when the can turns in a certain direction as described above, one of the color-specific sensors 12 moves to a predetermined position. The other color-specific sensor l'2' detects the color at a predetermined position K.
1)' colors are detected and a signal is activated to operate the following cylinders 15 and 164.

13rt distribution is a mechanism, and the color-coded sensors 12 and 12'
This is for distributing canned goods K to predetermined delivery lines 14 according to the signals of
is of the form I & is provided with two cylinders 15 and 16.

Therefore, when the color sensors 12 and 12' do not detect any color and do not generate a signal, the cylinders 15 and 16 are not operated and the canned food is sent to the first line 14a at 7 for one color. When another sensor 12 detects a color, the cylinder 15 is operated to send the canned food to the second line 14b, and when the other color sensor 12' detects a color, the cylinder 16't-
Activate it and distribute it into cans = i 3rd lie / 14C respectively.

That is, even if a plurality of types of canned goods K flow in the supply line 1, each line 14a of the carry-out line 14.

14b and 14C will flow into certain types of canned goods.

In addition, in an example of the use of the present invention, the supply line 1' and the discharge line 14 are rotated, and the roller 5 is rotated via the motor 4'.

The supply line 1 and the unloading line 14k are made into one line, and both are rotated simultaneously by one motor.

Stiffness! Place multiple types of canned goods on the supply line 1 and transport them.

Then, when the canned can K reaches the PJT fixed position, this
It is sensed by the proximity switch 3, and the cylinder 6 is activated to prevent this 911 digit and temporarily stop it.

Next, the cylinders 7 and 10 are operated in sequence to surround the can, and the p-ra 5, which is rotated by the motor 4, rotates the entire can.

Then, when the can rotates and the electrodes 11a and 11d at the tip of the direction detection temporary 11 come into contact with the soldered part of the body,
1 through this body solder part Ka w! The flow is blf, n,
As a result, the cylinders 6°7 and 10 are retracted by 1 dKt, and the predetermined amount of the canned food at this time is 1 dKt.
), the color of σ is distinguished by a color-specific sensor I2.12', and a signal r is generated.

Depending on this signal, both the cylinders 15 and 16'i are not operated, or either one is operated, and the canned cans are transferred to a predetermined line 14a of the entire discharge line 14.

It is divided into 9 parts to 14b or 14C.

As described above, the present invention includes a changing machine #42 that temporarily stops the canned can K supplied from the supply line 1, rotates the can completely, and rotates it in the direction of the foot, and a predetermined direction for the can at this time. The automatic can sorting system comprises a color-coded sensor 12 for discriminating the color of the position and emitting a signal, and a mechanism 13 for distributing all the canned cans to a predetermined delivery line 14 based on the signal. Since the portions are packaged B vc and B, the cans supplied to the supply line 1 are automatically and reliably distributed to the predetermined discharge line 14, and the equipment is relatively simple. It has many benefits such as not requiring any skill to operate it.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Is it possible to temporarily stop the canned food supplied from the supply line, then rotate it completely to keep it in a fixed direction? A color-specific sensor that distinguishes the color 'g of a predetermined position of the canned can at this time and issues a signal, and a sorting system that distributes all the canned cans to a predetermined delivery line based on the signal. It consists of an automatic sorting device for canned goods, which has all the characteristics.
