Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a continuous delivery method for delivering a delivery material such as a pipe continuously fed onto a delivery line to the side of the delivery line and then to the next step. The present invention relates to a lateral feeding device for a long conveying material.

[Prior art]

For example, in a continuous pipe production line, the sound produced by continuous pipe production is cut online to a fixed length, and then a screw cooling bed is used to cool the pipes while transferring the pipes. It is necessary to sequentially discharge the sound from the conveying line to the side of the conveying line to stop it, and then send the stopped sound to the cooling head.

Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, a transport line L including transport rollers R and the like is used.
And a trough T on which a complicated pipe P can be placed on the side of this line.
Is provided and the screw kicker K feeds the cooling head B onto the cooling head screw S forming the cooling bed B while decelerating by the trough.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, nose bending may occur at the tip of the small-diameter pipe P during cutting or during transportation after cutting, and in the conventional trough screw kicker system, the upper surface of the trough T is almost horizontal. , The pipe easily swings to the left and right, and the pipe tip collides with the screwed part of the screw kicker K due to a slight bend in the nose of the pipe, and the pipe is not conveyed to the specified position, which hinders lateral feeding to the cooling bed. During lateral feeding, there is a problem that trouble occurs such that the succeeding person enters the kicker screwing portion containing the preceding tube and the tubes comrades are scratched.

In order to eliminate this, a method of kicking out the pipe on the trough by installing a kicker arm on the trough instead of the screw kicker can be considered, but in this case, the conventional trough shape or the kicker arm kicker In the out motion, the trailing pipe tip may collide with the kicker arm, and the moving pipe will be kicked out without being completely stopped.Therefore, between the trough and the cooling bed, another deceleration table and A kickout device is required.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to easily and reliably pay out the conveying material to the side of the conveying line even if the tip of the conveying material has a nose bend, An object of the present invention is to provide a long feeding material lateral feeding device which has a relatively simple and compact structure and can simultaneously perform payout for stopping the feeding material and feeding to the next process.

[Means for solving the problem]

As shown in FIG. 1, the lateral feeding device according to the present invention feeds a long conveying material P continuously fed on a conveying line L,
In a device for sequentially delivering to the side of the transport line and then delivering to the next process, a delivery position continuously extending to the delivery line is set at the terminal end of the delivery roller row of the delivery line L, and the delivery line at this delivery position is set. A guide trough 1A that draws a concave arc in the payout direction is provided on L so as to be able to guide a long conveyance material, and a stopping arc that draws a concave arc in the payout direction is provided on the payout side of this guiding trough 1A. The trough 1B is provided adjacent to the guide trough in parallel with the guide trough, and the guide trough 1A and the stop trough 1B are provided.
The lower end moves forward from the standby position on the anti-discharging side of the trough to the payout side along the concave arc of the trough, and performs a one-way turning motion in which the upper part of the trough retracts toward the anti-discharging side. The obtained kicker plate 2 and the delivery kicker plate 3 are respectively provided and configured.

For the one-way turning motion of the kicker plates 2 and 3 in the payout direction, use a cam or the like to make an arc motion in both forward and backward movements (such as a turning motion by a perfect circle or an ellipse), or to make the forward movement an arc movement and return the backward movement horizontally. It can be obtained by
Kicker unit 4 with kicker plates 2 and 3
As shown in FIG. 2, it is necessary to provide a large number of them at intervals in the line direction, and for the reason that a smooth arc motion can be obtained, a common drive shaft 5 is used, and a pair of crank arms 12 is provided. It is preferable to rotate the kicker and rotate the kicker play 2, 3 through the kicker arm 11 in a circular motion.

The kicker plates 2 and 3 can be easily interlocked by attaching them to the tip of the kicker arm 11 with a space. Further, both the kicker plate 2 for delivery and the kicker plate 3 for delivery are independently provided in the line direction, but both the kicker plates 2 and 3 may be plates that are continuous in the line direction.

[Action]

The long conveying material P, which is fed on the conveying line L by the feeding force of the conveying rollers, is guided by the guiding trough 1A at the dispensing position at the trailing end of the conveying roller train and is braked and guided. The trough 1A has a concave arc groove that is deeper than conventional troughs and stabilizes transportation. Therefore, the long conveying material P does not easily swing to the left and right, and the kicking plate 2 for discharging is standing by on the side opposite to the discharging side of the guiding trough 1A, so that the long conveying material P has a nose bend at the tip of the conveying material. Does not collide with the kicker plate 2.

Further, the delivery kicker plate 3 at the standby position forms a partition wall with the guiding trough 1A, and can prevent the subsequent long conveying material P from invading the stopping trough 1B. Trouble such as collision due to the succeeding conveying material can be eliminated. In addition, a kicker plate 2 for delivery and a kicker plate 3 for delivery
Makes a unidirectional swiveling motion by a circle or the like, so that it is possible to prevent the subsequent long conveying material P from colliding with the plate during the returning motion.

The conveying material P kicked out from the guiding trough 1A is stopped by the dynamic frictional force between the conveying material and the concave groove in the groove-shaped stopping trough 1B.

By the two interlocking kicker plates 2 and 3, it is possible to perform the payout for stopping the conveying material and the sending to the cooling head at the same time.

In addition, since the conveying material is kicked out by the plate, the conveying material is not damaged.

〔Example〕

As shown in FIG. 2, the transport line L is disposed on the inlet side of the cooling head B from the previous step, and the kicker unit 4 is provided in the line direction on the side of the transport line L on the opposite side of the cooling bed B. Many units are arranged at intervals, and each unit 4 is interlocked by a drive shaft 5.

The drive shaft 5 is an electric motor 6 provided at the end of the line.
Reducer 7, transmission mechanism 8 such as pulley and V-belt,
It is driven through the air clutch 9 (ON state) and stopped by turning off the air clutch 9 and turning on the air brake 10.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the kicker unit 4 has kicker arms 11 on both sides in the line direction. The kicker arms 11 are attached to the kicker unit 4 by a pair of crank arms 12 and driven. When the shaft 5 is driven to rotate, a pair of crank arms 12 rotate in the direction of the arrow in the drawing via a gear train (not shown) in the kicker unit 4, so that the kicker arm 11 also moves in the same horizontal state. Has been

Such a kicker arm 11 is provided with a payout kicker plate 2 and a delivery kicker plate 3, and the lower ends of these kicker plates 2 synchronously move in a circular motion. The delivery kicker plate 3 is attached to the beam 13 that interlocks the tips of the kicker arms 11 on both sides of the unit, and the delivery kicker plate 2 is attached to the sides of the kicker arm 11 via brackets 14.

In front of the cooling head B, as shown in FIG. 2, only the payout kicker plate 2 is provided.

Guide trough 1A and stop trough 1B are aprons 1
Is formed integrally adjacent to each other in the lateral feed direction, and is a concave arc groove of an arc corresponding to the arc drawn by the lower ends of the kicker plates 2 and 3, and a gap of several mm is formed at the lower ends of the kicker plates 2 and 3. To be formed. As shown in FIG. 1, the transport roller R is a roller having a concave arc groove similar to that of the guiding trough 1A, and its upper surface is positioned slightly above the guiding trough 1A. Stop trough 1B is a guide trough 1A
It is supposed to be located lower.

The payout kicker plate 2 is positioned on the unit 4 side of the guiding trough 1A at the point X during the circular movement so as to stand by. The brake kicker plate 2 rotates once when the brake is OFF and the clutch is ON, and the same X is when the clutch is OFF and the brake is ON. Controlled to stop at a point. It goes without saying that the delivery kicker plate 3 also stands by in the same manner and rotates once.

 The above-described structure operates as follows.

(I) When the pipe is cut to a constant length, it is accelerated and conveyed, and the rear end of the pipe passes through the payout kicker plate end Y closest to the entrance side in FIG. 2 and the next pipe front end passes through this point Y. Drive the drive shaft 5 at an appropriate timing until
The kicker plates 2 and 3 are operated so that the lower ends thereof form a circle.

(Ii) The pipe P on the guiding trough 1A is kicked out by the payout kicker plate 2 and enters the stopping trough 1B. At the same time, the pipe P on the stopping trough 1B is kicked out onto the cooling head screw S by the delivery kicker plate 3.

(Iii) The pipe P kicked out on the stopping trough 1B by the kicker plate 2 causes the next start signal of the kicker plate within the length of the trough due to the dynamic frictional force between this pipe and the stopping trough 1B. It stops before entering and is kicked out by the kicker plate 3 at the next rotation of the kicker plate.

Although the pipe has been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to not only this but also other rods that are continuously fed.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the transverse feeding device according to the present invention is provided with the guide trough of the concave arc groove on the conveying line, and the conveyer material on the guide trough is discharged by the kicker plate that makes an arc motion. Since the stop troughs are provided adjacent to each other and the kicker plate for paying out and the kicker plate for sending out are interlocked, the following effects are achieved.

(I) Stable conveyance by the guiding trough of the concave arc groove and the payout kicker plate that waits on the side opposite to the payout side prevent the transport material from colliding with the kicker plate even if the transport material has a nose bend. Since the kicker plate performs the one-way turning motion, the following conveying material does not collide with the kicker plate during the returning movement, and the conveying material can be easily and surely discharged to the side of the conveying line.

(Ii) Due to the relatively simple and compact structure, it is possible to simultaneously perform the payout for stopping the conveying material and the feeding to the next step without taking a space between the conveying line and the next step.

(Iii) Since the kicking is performed by the plate, the conveying material is not damaged by being driven. In addition, since the delivery kicker plate at the standby position forms a partition wall with the guiding trough, it is possible to prevent the subsequent long conveying material from invading the stopping trough, and the preceding conveying material and the succeeding conveying material can be prevented. It is possible to eliminate troubles such as collision of conveyed materials and occurrence of scratches between the conveyed materials.
