The operation of such a pickup device is controllable to be electrically and mechanically interlocked by a controller provided on the operation panel.

Hereinafter, the operation of the packaging container reversing device 200 according to the present invention will be described in detail.

First, when an ON signal is inputted through the switch of the packaging container reversing device 200, the control unit supplies power to the driving mechanism and operates the driving mechanism to rotate the rotary shaft 230 coupled to the driving mechanism. The control unit supplies power to the first conveying conveyor 280 and the second conveying conveyor 285 to operate the first conveying conveyor 280 and the second conveying conveyor 285.

The first rail rotation bar 260 coupled to the first container rest 250 is rotated in the first interval 226 while the first container rest 250 is rotated according to the rotation of the rotation shaft 230, The control unit stops the rotation of the rotary shaft 230 for a predetermined time, for about one second, so that the individual packaging containers transported through the first transport conveyor 280 are smoothly drawn into the first container rest 250.

Then, at the end of the set time, the control unit controls the driving mechanism 240 such that the rotating shaft 230 is rotated again. The control unit controls the first rail rotation bar 260 coupled to the first container rest 250 to move in the first section 226 through the first pressing unit 272 so as to rotate along the reverse rail 221 The first rail turning bar 260 is pushed toward the reverse rail 221.

A second rail turning bar 260 coupled to the second container rest 250 is then rotated in the first section 226 (FIG. 2) during rotation of the second container rest 250 adjacent to the first container rest 250, The control unit stops rotation of the rotation shaft 230 for a predetermined time, for about one second, so that the individual packaging containers transported through the first transport conveyor 280 are smoothly drawn into the second container rest 250.

Then, at the end of the set time, the control unit controls the driving mechanism 240 such that the rotating shaft 230 is rotated again. The control unit then moves the second rail turning bar 260 coupled to the second container rest 250 to the first section 226 through the second pressing means 274 so as to rotate along the non- The second rail turning bar 260 is pushed toward the non-reversing rail 225. At this time, the second rail turning bar 260 which has entered the non-inverting rail 225 is moved upward as the second section 227 is moved, and the raised second rail turning bar 260 is moved to the toothed portion 262, The rotation of the rotation pulley 255 is rotated to rotate the second container holder 250.

Accordingly, the single packaging container moved through the first container holder 250 is put into the second transport conveyor 285 in an inverted state, and the single packaging container moved through the second container holder is rotated in the first reverse and 2 Inverted and then put into the second transport conveyor 285 in a non-inverted state.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It can be understood that it is possible.
