Description

本発明は気送管設備に係わり、詳しくは、開閉可能な蓋が長手方向端部に配置されていて、その蓋が、気送子本体の壁端面に配置された開閉軸を中心に旋回させられて開けられる蓋付気送子に搬送物を装填するための移載ユニットを備える気送管設備に関する。   The present invention relates to a pneumatic tube facility, and more specifically, an openable / closable lid is disposed at a longitudinal end, and the lid is swung around an opening / closing axis disposed on a wall end surface of the pneumatic carrier body. The present invention relates to an air feeding pipe facility provided with a transfer unit for loading a transported object into an air feeding element with a lid that is opened.

搬送手段の一つである気送管設備は、一回の搬送量は限られるが、迅速且つ正確な搬送を必要とされるところで利用されている。このような気送管設備において、気送子に対し搬送物を出入れするための移載装置や移載ユニットもまた、多くの提案がある。   Pneumatic tube equipment, which is one of the transport means, is used where quick and accurate transport is required, although the transport amount per transport is limited. In such a pneumatic tube facility, there are also many proposals for a transfer device and a transfer unit for putting a conveyed product in and out of the pneumatic carrier.

例えば、気送子が気送子本体とこれにスライド可能に収容したサンプルケースを備えた気送管設備において、圧送されてきた気送子を把持し、ロッドによってサンプルケースを気送子本体から押し出すことにより、サンプルをサンプルケースから落下させるようにした搬送物取出し装置がある(例えば特許文献1を参照)。他の例としては、気送子が気送子本体とサンプルケースとを備え、チャックによって気送子本体を回転させて、サンプルケースを気送子本体から外し、気送子のサンプルケース側を支持する受け台を下降させて、サンプルケースを気送子本体から分離するようにした移載ユニットもある(例えば特許文献2を参照)。   For example, in an air feeding tube facility provided with an air carrier body and a sample case slidably accommodated in the air carrier body, the air carrier element that has been pressure-fed is gripped, and the sample case is removed from the air carrier body by a rod. There is a transported object take-out device in which a sample is dropped from a sample case by extruding (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As another example, an air carrier includes an air carrier body and a sample case, the air carrier body is rotated by a chuck, the sample case is detached from the air carrier body, and the sample case side of the air carrier is removed. There is also a transfer unit that lowers the supporting base to separate the sample case from the air carrier body (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

これらの装置は、いずれも、気送子に収容したサンプル(搬送物)を自動取り出しするためのものであって、各々のサンプルに合せた特定構造をもつ気送子の併用を必須としている。このため、開閉可能な蓋が長手方向端部に配置されていて、その蓋が気送子本体の長手方向端面に配置された旋回軸を中心に旋回させられて開けられる蓋付気送子であると、搬送物の装填を自動的に行なうことができない。
特開平1−110426号公報 特開平9−166521号公報

Here, the carry-in side air feeding tube 21 and the conveyed product loading chute 26 are spaced at an angle of 180 ° with respect to the center of the virtual circle, and the conveyed product loading chute 26 and the carry-out side air feeding tube 22 are separated from each other. Although arranged at an angle interval of 90 °, the present invention is not limited to this arrangement angle.

一方、回転位置決め機構23は、次の構成を備えたものである。

The center of the virtual circle is arranged so as to coincide with the center, and includes a pair of upper and lower disks 23a and a rod 23b that couples the two disks 23a. It is arranged so as to be bridged between the two plates 23a at an interval of 90 ° with respect to the center of the housing, and both ends of the storage tube 23c are coupled to the upper and lower discs 23a.
A support shaft 23d located on the center line of the two discs 23a and passing through the discs 23a and coupled to the upper and lower discs 23a extends outward from the lower discs 23a and has an end portion thereof. An air feed element that is rotatably supported by a bearing 51b provided on a fixed base plate 51a that constitutes a part of the main body of the pipe feed equipment, and that matches each of the air feed accommodating pipes 23c with the carry-in side air feed pipe 21. It is formed so as to be able to rotate counterclockwise between the carry-in position P1 and the pneumatic feed carry-out position P4 coinciding with the carry-out side air feed tube 22. A cushion material 52 is fixed to a position of the base plate 51a facing the carry-in side air feeding tube 21.
The rotation positioning mechanism 23 is rotationally driven by introducing the rotation of the rotation drive unit 23e by a motor or the like into the shaft 23d, and the rotation position is controlled by the detection unit 23f of the storage tube 23c.

図3において、いま、気送子10が矢印A1の方向から搬入側気送管21を通って位置P1の気送子収容管23cに搬送されてくると、気送子10の下端又は底蓋12がベース板51aに配置したクッション材52に当たり、気送子収容管23cの内部の所定位置に停止する。停止すると、回転駆動部23eが回転位置決め機構23を回転させ、図4に示すように気送子10をアイドル位置P2を通って搬送物の装填位置P3まで回転させる。位置P3に到達すると、固定部23fが収容管23cに作用し、この位置決め機構23の回転を止める。この位置P3において、回転して来た気送子10は、その下端部が気送子回転部の回転板24iに載る。   In FIG. 3, when the air carrier 10 is conveyed from the direction of arrow A1 through the carry-in air tube 21 to the air carrier housing tube 23c at the position P1, the lower end or bottom cover of the air carrier 10 is obtained. 12 hits the cushioning material 52 disposed on the base plate 51a, and stops at a predetermined position inside the pneumatic carrier accommodating tube 23c. When stopped, the rotation drive unit 23e rotates the rotation positioning mechanism 23 to rotate the pneumatic feeder 10 through the idle position P2 to the loaded position P3 as shown in FIG. When the position P3 is reached, the fixing portion 23f acts on the housing tube 23c, and stops the rotation of the positioning mechanism 23. At this position P3, the pneumatic feeder 10 that has been rotated has its lower end placed on the rotary plate 24i of the pneumatic feeder rotating portion.

気送子10が回転板24iに載ると、動力シリンダ25aが作動して、回転板24iごとリフトベース24jを上昇させ、気送子10の上端部における蓋12を蓋保持体24aの回転板24fに圧接する。この圧接で係合ピン24eが蓋12に当接する。ここで電動機24gが作動し、回転がベルト車及びベルトからなる伝動機構24hを経由して回転板24iに伝達され、気送子10が回転板24i及び保持板24fと一緒に自転する。気送子10の自転によって、係合ピン24eが蓋12の表面を滑り、蓋12に形成されている係合部14に嵌る。ピン24eが嵌ると、光センサ等がこれを検出して、電動機24gの作動を停止させる。それから、電動機24dが作動し、蓋保持体24aの歯車24cを、電動機24dの出力歯車24bによって回転させる。歯車24cと同軸で旋回する軸24c´は、蓋12の開閉軸13と同軸上で当該軸13を中心に蓋12に被さった蓋保持体24aを回転させる(図6参照)。蓋12が蓋保持体24aと一体に図5の鎖線位置まで旋回すると、気送子10の蓋12が開放されるので、電動機24dの作動が停止する。   When the air carrier 10 is placed on the rotary plate 24i, the power cylinder 25a is operated to raise the lift base 24j together with the rotary plate 24i, and the lid 12 at the upper end of the air carrier 10 is attached to the rotary plate 24f of the lid holder 24a. Press contact. The engagement pin 24e contacts the lid 12 by this pressure contact. Here, the electric motor 24g is actuated, and the rotation is transmitted to the rotating plate 24i via the transmission mechanism 24h including the belt wheel and the belt, and the air feeder 10 rotates together with the rotating plate 24i and the holding plate 24f. By the rotation of the air carrier 10, the engagement pin 24 e slides on the surface of the lid 12 and fits into the engagement portion 14 formed on the lid 12. When the pin 24e is fitted, an optical sensor or the like detects this and stops the operation of the electric motor 24g. Then, the electric motor 24d is operated, and the gear 24c of the lid holding body 24a is rotated by the output gear 24b of the electric motor 24d. A shaft 24c ′ that rotates coaxially with the gear 24c rotates the lid holding body 24a that covers the lid 12 around the shaft 13 coaxially with the opening / closing shaft 13 of the lid 12 (see FIG. 6). When the lid 12 is rotated integrally with the lid holding body 24a to the chain line position in FIG. 5, the lid 12 of the pneumatic feeder 10 is opened, and the operation of the electric motor 24d is stopped.

このようにして気送子10の蓋12が位置P3で開放されると、使用者又はロボット等の移載手段が、搬送物又はインナーケースに収容された搬送物を搬送物の装填シュート26に投げ込みなどにより供給する。供給される搬送物は位置P3にある気送子本体11の内部に自然落下する。気送子10の中に搬送物が装填シュート26経由で送り込まれると、先の電動機24dが蓋開放時とは逆向きに作動して蓋保持体24aを逆回転させ、蓋12をその開閉軸13を中心に図5の実線位置まで旋回させ、気送子10を閉塞する。気送子10が蓋12により閉塞されると、動力シリンダ25aのロッドが元の位置に戻り、図1に示すようにリフトベース24j及び回転板24iが元の位置に降下移動する。   When the lid 12 of the air carrier 10 is thus opened at the position P3, a transfer means such as a user or a robot transfers the transported object or the transported object accommodated in the inner case to the loading chute 26 for the transported object. Supply by throwing. The supplied conveyed product naturally falls into the air carrier main body 11 at the position P3. When the conveyed product is fed into the pneumatic feeder 10 via the loading chute 26, the previous electric motor 24d operates in a direction opposite to that when the lid is opened to reversely rotate the lid holding body 24a, and the lid 12 is opened and closed. The air feed element 10 is closed by turning to the solid line position in FIG. When the air carrier 10 is closed by the lid 12, the rod of the power cylinder 25a returns to the original position, and the lift base 24j and the rotating plate 24i move down to the original position as shown in FIG.

この後、電動機23eが作動し、回転位置決め機構23を90°回転させ、搬送物が装填された気送子10を気送子搬出位置P4まで移動させる。この位置P4に気送子10が移動すると、その気送子10がこの移載ユニット20から矢印A2の方向に送り出される(図3参照)ので、これを目的場所に搬出する。位置P4で気送子10が気送管22に搬出されると、電動機23eが作動して回転位置決め機構23をさらに90°回転させ気送子収容管23cを元の位置に戻す。   Thereafter, the electric motor 23e is actuated to rotate the rotation positioning mechanism 23 by 90 °, and the pneumatic feeder 10 loaded with the conveyed product is moved to the pneumatic feeder carrying position P4. When the pneumatic carrier 10 moves to this position P4, the pneumatic carrier 10 is sent out from the transfer unit 20 in the direction of arrow A2 (see FIG. 3), and is carried out to the destination. When the pneumatic carrier 10 is carried out to the pneumatic tube 22 at the position P4, the electric motor 23e is operated to rotate the rotation positioning mechanism 23 by 90 ° to return the pneumatic carrier accommodating tube 23c to the original position.

このようにして回転位置決め機構23が90°回転するごとに、新たな気送子10が、搬入側気送管21から位置P1にある気送子収容管23cに順次に落下する。各収容管23cの中の各気送子10は、回転位置決め機構23によって位置P2を経由して順に搬送物の装填位置P3に移動されるごとに蓋12が開けられ、搬送物を装填されてから、開いていた蓋12が閉塞される。そして、搬送物が装填された気送子10は、気送子搬出位置P4に移動させられ、搬出側気送管22を通じて目的場所に搬出される一方、回転位置決め機構23がさらに90°回転して位置P1に順次戻る。   In this way, every time the rotation positioning mechanism 23 rotates 90 °, the new pneumatic feeder 10 sequentially falls from the carry-in side pneumatic tube 21 to the pneumatic carrier accommodating tube 23c at the position P1. Each time the air carrier 10 in each storage tube 23c is moved sequentially to the loading position P3 of the conveyed product via the position P2 by the rotary positioning mechanism 23, the lid 12 is opened and the conveyed item is loaded. Thus, the open lid 12 is closed. The pneumatic carrier 10 loaded with the conveyed product is moved to the pneumatic carrier carrying-out position P4 and carried out to the destination through the carrying-out side pneumatic feeding tube 22, while the rotation positioning mechanism 23 is further rotated by 90 °. To sequentially return to the position P1.

本発明は以上の通りであって、実施例で説明した気送管設備は、この移載ユニット20を組み込むことにより、気送子本体11の長手方向端部に配置されている蓋12が開閉軸13を中心に旋回させられて気送子本体11を開閉するので蓋12が閉じらている気送子10にその蓋12を開けて搬送物の装填を確実に行ない、装填後は開けられた蓋12を確実に閉じて次へ搬出することができる。   The present invention is as described above, and in the pneumatic pipe installation described in the embodiment, the lid 12 disposed at the longitudinal end of the pneumatic carrier body 11 is opened and closed by incorporating the transfer unit 20. Since the air carrier body 11 is opened and closed by being pivoted about the shaft 13, the lid 12 is opened on the air carrier 10 with the lid 12 closed, and the transported object is reliably loaded. The lid 12 can be securely closed and carried out to the next.

また、移載ユニット20の回転位置決め機構23において、搬入側気送管21、蓋の開閉機構24及び搬出側気送管23cが一つの仮想円上に配置され、位置決め機構23が、この仮想円の中心を中心として回転することにより、気送子の搬入位置P1と搬送物の装填位置P3と気送子の搬出位置P4との間を順に回転させるだけで、気送子10の搬入,蓋の開放から搬送物の装填、並びに、蓋を閉塞してその気送子10を搬出するまでの作業をさせるようにしたので、移載ユニット20を小型化できる。   Further, in the rotation positioning mechanism 23 of the transfer unit 20, the carry-in side air feeding tube 21, the lid opening / closing mechanism 24, and the carry-out side air feeding tube 23 c are arranged on one virtual circle, and the positioning mechanism 23 is arranged in this virtual circle. By rotating in turn around the center of the air feed element 10, it is possible to carry in and cover the air feed element 10 only by sequentially rotating the position between the air feed element loading position P 1, the loaded object loading position P 3 and the air feed element unloading position P 4. Since the operation from the opening to the loading of the conveyed product and the operation from the closing of the lid to the unloading of the air carrier 10 is performed, the transfer unit 20 can be reduced in size.

上記例において、気送子10は、搬送物の装填位置P3において搬送物を装填するようにしたが、装填位置をアイドル位置P2に配置し、搬出側気送管を搬送物装填位置P3に配置することもできるので、設置環境や設置条件に応じた設計変更も容易に行なうことができる。   In the above example, the pneumatic feeder 10 is loaded with the conveyed product at the loaded position P3 of the conveyed product, but the loading position is arranged at the idle position P2, and the unloading side pneumatic tube is arranged at the conveyed product loading position P3. Therefore, it is possible to easily change the design according to the installation environment and installation conditions.

なお、本発明気送管設備は、本発明を逸脱しない範囲での変更、改造などを行なうことができる。例えば、実施例において、回転位置決め機構23によって気送子10を回転位置決めし、気送管21,22に対する気送子の出入り及び気送子10に対する搬送物の装填を行なう機構全体の小型化を図っているが、必要に応じて気送子10を気送子搬入位置P1と搬送物装填位置P3と気送子搬出位置P4との間を直線移動させるようにしても良い。また、気送子10を自転させることにより、蓋12の係合部14と蓋開閉機構24の係合ピン24eとの位置合わせを行なっているが、蓋保持体24aを自転させて、係合部14とピン24eの位置合わせをするようにしてもよい。   It should be noted that the pneumatic pipe installation of the present invention can be changed or modified without departing from the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the pneumatic mechanism 10 is rotationally positioned by the rotational positioning mechanism 23 to reduce the size of the entire mechanism for entering and exiting the pneumatic tube 21, 22 and loading the transported object to the pneumatic carrier 10. Although shown, the pneumatic carrier 10 may be moved linearly between the pneumatic carrier loading position P1, the conveyed product loading position P3, and the pneumatic carrier loading position P4 as necessary. In addition, by rotating the air carrier 10, the engagement portion 14 of the lid 12 and the engagement pin 24e of the lid opening / closing mechanism 24 are aligned, but the lid holding body 24a is rotated and engaged. You may make it align the part 14 and the pin 24e.
