Rotating table

Abstract

The invention provides a revolving table, which can start to change the direction of the movement of a conveyed object in a very short time. The revolving table is provided with inlet side ends (A) and outlet side end (B) respectively communicating with the inlet side and the outlet side of a conveying track; a first track (3) and a second track (4) used for conveying the conveyed object from the inlet side ends (A) to the outlet side ends (B); a worktable component (7) for arranging the first track (3) and the second track (4); a worktable rotation mechanism (8) used for rotating the worktable component (7) and stopping the worktable component at any angle of rotation; a worktable rotation control mechanism used for controlling the rotation of the conveyed object on the first track (3) and the second track (4) in the conveying direction. The first track (3) and the second track (4) are arranged on the worktable component (7) in the following way: when the conveying direction is set, either the inlet side end (A) of the first track (3) or the inlet side end (A) of the second track communicates with the inlet side of the conveying track.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rotating workbench for changing the conveying direction of a conveyed object. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as such a device, there is, for example, a device described in Patent Document 1. Specifically, the guide rail member is rotatably installed on the direction changer for changing the direction of the loading rail, and when it is in the rotating posture of the loading angle, one end of the rail member is aligned with the loading rail on the loading side, and when the loading is performed In the angular rotation posture, the other end of the rail member is aligned with the carry-in rail on the carry-out side. Therefore, in the conventional rotary table, by changing the rotation posture of the rail member to the carry-in angle and the carry-out angle, the object can be transported while maintaining a certain posture with respect to the carry-in rail.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the conventional structure described above, after changing the conveyance direction of the object to be conveyed by changing the rotational posture of the rail member from the carry-in angle to the carry-out angle and carrying it out, when changing the conveyance direction of the next object to be conveyed, It is necessary to perform a recovery operation to return the rotation posture of the guide rail member from the carrying-out angle to the carrying-in angle.

Therefore, this recovery operation becomes a waiting time when changing the direction of the next object to be carried, and as a result, the time to start changing the direction of the object to be carried may be delayed.
