Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sorting device for automatically sorting a predetermined number of slips, forms, bankbooks, etc. while feeding them on a conveyor.

The conventional sorting device counts the articles 12 sent by a belt conveyor 9 using a phototube 13 as shown in FIG. They moved them to separate areas. In such cases, for example, even if it is necessary in a process that requires considerable precision and requires a high conveyance speed, if the conveyance speed is relatively slow, the servo motor or air For devices such as cylinders, the above functions can be achieved with a simplified device.

From this point of view, the present invention can automate the sorting work without requiring a complicated control mechanism such as a servo motor or an air cylinder.

In the present invention, a receiving plate 3 is attached to each side of a square rotor 2 that is attached to a rotating shaft 1 that is supported by a frame 4, and that extends in the outer direction of the rotor's rotation circle.
The receiving plate is provided behind and below the discharging tip of the belt conveyor 9, and between the tip and the receiving plate,
A slide plate 11 whose inclination angle can be adjusted freely is provided so that articles such as bankbooks carried out by the conveyor can be loaded on the receiving plate, and an engagement hole 6 is provided on the axial side surface of the rotor.
, and an engagement pin 7 that is biased by a spring to engage the engagement hole and disengages from the engagement hole in conjunction with the solenoid 8 is attached to the frame, and the rotation of the rotor is The center is located at a position off the perpendicular line passing through the center of gravity of the articles to be carried out onto the receiving plate, and a phototube 13 for detecting the number of articles to be carried out is attached to the carrying-out tip of the conveyor, and the set classification by the phototube is provided. Upon receiving the number detection signal, the solenoid is operated to disengage the engagement pin, and the rotor is rotated under its own weight by the power of the loaded articles 12 on the receiving plate, and the articles are counted and discharged onto the next delivery plate 5. This is a counting and sorting device characterized by:

If the present invention is explained in detail according to the drawings, the first
As shown in the side view of the sorting device in this invention, a sliding plate 11 attached to the distal end of the belt conveyor 9 that conveys the articles 12 processed by the processing machine, such as slips, ledgers, and passbooks, is attached to the bottom of the sliding plate 11. machine conveyor 9
A rectangular rotor 2 that rotates around a mounting shaft 1 that is rotatably supported by a frame 4 that is mounted on a frame 4 of the machine, and four receiving plates 3 that are mounted on each side of the rotor 2 that is mounted in the direction of the shaft 1. , four engaging holes 6 are symmetrically drilled in the side surface of the rotor 2 so that one side of the receiving plate 3 is locked and stopped at a position that maintains a slightly inclined surface from horizontal to the discharge direction. There is. The engagement hole 6 is activated by the solenoid 8 fixed to the frame 4.
The engagement pin 7 that is engaged with the rotor 2 is always pressed against the side surface of the rotor 2 by the spring 14. Therefore, the engagement pin 7 is released from the engagement hole 6 against the spring 14 by the operation of the solenoid 8. , At that time, an article 12 such as a passbook placed on the receiving plate 3
Due to its own weight, the rotor 2 and the receiving plate 3 on which the articles are placed rotate downward about the shaft 1, and a prescribed number of articles 12 are discharged onto the inclined delivery plate 5. The sliding plate 11 attached to the processing machine frame 10 can be adjusted in angle, so that the article can be smoothly slid onto the receiving plate 3. As shown in the block diagram of Fig. 5, the conveyor 9
A phototube 13 installed in the terminal detects the number of articles 12 such as bankbooks, and the controller 15, which is set to a preset number by a preset counter, receives a detection signal of the specified number of articles 12 and sends a signal to the solenoid 8. A release output signal is sent to the engagement pin 7, and the engagement pin 7 is disengaged from the engagement hole 6 by the solenoid 8 which operates against the spring 14, and the rotor 2 and the receiving plate 3 are moved to one side by the weight of the article 12. The signal to the solenoid 8 is released by the timer operation, and the engagement pin 7 is rotated in the ejection direction.
While contacting the side surface of the rotor 2, it engages with the next engagement hole 6 again.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the sorting device of the present invention. In FIG. A signal is output at the number specified by the set counter, the solenoid 8 releases the engagement pin 7 from the engagement hole 6, and the receiving plate 3 is rotated in the discharge direction by the weight of the article 12. And the fourth-
After rotating 90 degrees as shown in the figure, article 1
2 is placed on the delivery plate 5, and at this time the receiving plate 3 is again
Due to the biasing force of the spring 4, the engagement pin 7 aligns and engages with the next rotor engagement hole 6, thereby stopping and being locked at a predetermined position, which is the delivery position with respect to the delivery plate 5.

According to the present invention, a set number of items such as slips, forms, passbooks, etc. can be automatically sorted by rotating the rotor using the weight of the passbooks, which does not require a complicated control mechanism as in the past. It has a simple structure and can be sorted, and has practical value in transporting and sorting bankbooks, slips, etc.
