Problems solved by technology

[0006] The article arranging device described in Patent Document 2 is an arrangement device for elongated columnar articles such as caps with tubes, and cannot handle items such as caps without tubes
Although the device can arrange the articles separately, the device needs a multi-stage arrangement of multiple pairs of conveying assemblies comprising two cylinders in its axial direction, and the number of rotations of the cylinders of each conveying assembly is set as complex composition of different values

Embodiment 1

[0020] (Example 1)( Figure 1A ~ Figure 2C )

[0021] Figure 1A ~ Figure 1C The article alignment device 10 of the present invention arranges the orientation of the covers (articles) 1 in a consistent manner. like Figure 1C As shown, the arrangement target posture of the cover 1 is a posture with the top surface on the bottom and the opening surface on the top (the center of gravity of the cover 1 is close to the top surface). The arranged covers 1 can be of any shape when viewed from above. For example, a circle, a track shape, an ellipse, a rectangle, a polygon, or a shape formed by partially deforming these shapes. It is preferable that the cover 1 has a shape having a circular outer periphery on the top surface side when viewed from one side, and the cover 1 generally has such a circular shape. The radius of the cover 1 is preferably 0.2 mm or more, more preferably 0.5 mm or more. Furthermore, the cover 1 may have a shape in which the outer periphery on the top surf...

Embodiment 2

[0037] (Example 2)( image 3 )

[0038] image 3 The article alignment device 10A and Figure 1A ~ Figure 1C The difference between the article aligning device 10 is that the diameter of the truncated cone shape of the inner surface of the aligner 11 placed on the valleys of the two drive rollers 21, 21 decreases toward the downstream side in the traveling direction. The peripheral speed of the inner surface of the aligner 11 decreases toward the downstream side of the advancing direction, so that the transfer speed imparted to the caps 1 by the inner surface decreases toward the downstream side of the advancing direction, and the caps 1 are arranged without a gap between each other toward the downstream side of the advancing direction. . It is possible to prevent the movement of the cover 1 when there is a gap.

Embodiment 3

[0039] (Example 3)( Figure 4 )

[0040] Figure 4 The item alignment device 10B and Figure 1A ~ Figure 1C The article alignment device 10 differs in that each of the two drive rollers 21, 21 on which the alignment device 11 is placed is in the shape of a truncated cone ( diameter decreases toward the downstream side in the direction of travel). The difference in the surface speed of each part of the outer surface of the aligner 11 relative to the driving peripheral speed of the driving roller 21 can be reduced or eliminated, and the vibration of the aligner 11 can be reduced.

Abstract

The invention provides an article alignment apparatus (10) for aligning orientations of caps (1) by rotating an aligner (11) having an inner surface in a shape of a truncated cone while keeping a generatrix forming a lower end of the inner surface at a predetermined inclination, putting the caps (1) into a space formed by the inner surface, and carrying the caps (1) from one end to the other, so as to align the direction of the cap (1) in conformity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an article arrangement device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in filling and capping equipment for filling and capping containers with a liquid, a cap arranging device (article arranging device) for arranging and transferring various caps such as caps without tubes and caps with tubes has been used. ). [0003] The article alignment device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 51-47753 (Patent Document 1) tilts and rotates a cylindrical groove, puts a box-shaped article into the groove, and conveys it from one side to the other. sideways, and change the items into a stable posture, aligning the orientation of the items. [0004] In the article alignment device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 52-29078 (Patent Document 2), two columns are arranged parallel to each other and inclined, and the columns are rotated in opposite directions to transfer and carry a long column on the two colum...
