Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

  The present invention is intended for transporting an object to be transported from a transport machine to a plurality of locations via a transport pipe. In addition, the present invention relates to a feeding path switching device that can easily perform the switching.

[0002]

[Prior art]

  Conventionally, when transporting objects to be transported such as ice to multiple locations, each pipe must be manually I was connected to the machine and switched it, but the work was very complicated. Conveyance to each location is performed via the path switching device. Therefore, the route switching device As one form of placement, it is common to use a parallel link mechanism. , Install a plurality of extended transport pipes at each location, and attach it to the fixed plate via a link rod. The moving plate provided with the pipe from the carrier is interlocked and connected, and the moving plate's Communication with each transport pipe was switched by movement.

[0003]   Also, attach a lifting cylinder to the upper part of the fixed plate and attach the rod to the moving plate. The cylinder was connected and the switching was performed by the operation of the cylinder.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

  However, the above-mentioned route switching device has the following problems.

[0005]   That is, since the feed path switching device uses the parallel link mechanism, the moving plate is fixed. It is to be joined at two points on the plate, so two transfer pipes are connected to the fixed plate. Then, it was conveyed to two locations.

[0006]   Therefore, when transporting to multiple locations, a route switching device using this parallel link mechanism is used. Since a plurality of devices are connected, there is a drawback that the device itself becomes large.

[0007]   Also, the moving plate is connected to the fixed plate via the link mechanism by the operation of the lifting cylinder. Since the connection is made and the movable plate and the fixed plate are in close contact with each other Such air leakage easily occurred, which made it impossible to smoothly carry ice.

[0008]   The present invention provides a route switching device that can solve the above problems. To aim.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  According to the present invention, a feeding path having a plurality of conveying pipes is provided at the tip of the pipe from the conveying machine. In a route switching device capable of transporting an object to be transported to several places via the switching device Attach a plurality of transfer pipes in parallel to the fixed plate provided on the machine frame, and Then, slidably attach the sliding plate to which the pipe from the carrier is connected, A transfer path switching device characterized in that communication with a transfer pipe is switchable.

[0010]   Further, the present invention is, in the above-mentioned route switching device, sliding on the machine frame via traveling wheels. A plate is movably attached along the machine frame, and a spline is installed between the running wheel and the sliding plate. It is characterized in that the sliding plate is brought into pressure contact with the fixed plate by interposing a ring.

[0011]   Further, the present invention is directed to the above-mentioned feeding path switching device, in which the fixed plate and the sliding plate face each other. The feature is that an uneven surface stretched with a slippery synthetic resin material is attached.

[0012]

[Function of the device]

  According to the present invention, a plurality of transfer pipes attached to a fixed plate are arranged at respective positions, Slide the sliding plate with the pipe from to the fixed plate to Switch communication with the feed pipe. The sliding plate also moves along the machine frame via the moving wheels. In addition, the sliding plate is fixed by the spring provided between the running wheel and the sliding plate. Prevents air from leaking from the carrier by placing it in pressure contact with a fixed plate, It is something that is surely done.

[0013]   In addition, the concavo-convex structure in which a slippery synthetic resin material is stretched on the facing surfaces of the fixed plate and the sliding plate The surface prevents lateral displacement of each plate, and even when the sliding plate is pressed against the fixed plate, The sliding plate is easily slid to surely communicate with each transport pipe.
