[0028] Figure 2 is a schematic top view near the divided driving conveying device of the continuous processing device. Detailed implementation manners

[0029] Hereinafter, the continuous processing device according to the embodiment of the present utility model will be described by taking a roller hearth kiln as an example. The continuous processing device 1 includes a conveying device that conveys a plurality of objects to be processed in parallel along the width direction Y of the device. As the objects to be processed, for example, there are powder materials such as lithium-ion battery materials, and such powder materials are usually filled in saggers S and conveyed.

[0030] In the conveying device of the continuous processing device 1, there are included a summary driving conveying device 3 that conveys the objects to be processed S arranged in parallel along the width direction Y of the device in a summary manner, and a divided driving conveying device 4 that divides the objects to be processed S arranged in parallel along the width direction Y into multiple groups for conveying.

[0031] Thus, in the continuous processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, in addition to the collective drive conveyance apparatus 3 that collectively conveys the objects to be processed, there is also provided a dividing drive conveyance apparatus 4 that divides the objects to be processed into a plurality of groups in the width direction Y of the apparatus and conveys them. Therefore, the conveyance speed of the objects to be processed can be controlled for each group by the dividing drive conveyance apparatus 4. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the disorder of the rows of the objects to be processed and prevent problems such as the collision of adjacent objects to be processed and blockage within the apparatus.

[0032] In addition, the continuous processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes a first collective drive conveyance apparatus 31 provided on the upstream side of the dividing drive conveyance apparatus 4 and a second collective drive conveyance apparatus 32 provided on the downstream side of the dividing drive conveyance apparatus 4 as the collective drive conveyance apparatus 3. As Figure 1 shown, pressing devices 8 are provided on both lateral sides of the second collective drive conveyance apparatus 32. The pressing devices 8 press the crucible S from both lateral sides of the apparatus toward the center of the apparatus. The crucible S pressed by the pressing devices 8 moves on the second collective drive conveyance apparatus 32 to a position where it contacts an adjacent crucible S, thereby aligning the positions in the width direction Y. By providing such a second collective drive conveyance apparatus 32 and pressing devices 8, it is possible to control the position of the crucible with higher precision and suppress the disorder of the rows of the crucibles.

[0033] In addition, the continuous processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes a first dividing drive conveyance apparatus 41 disposed at the center in the width direction Y, a second dividing drive conveyance apparatus 42 disposed on one side in the width direction Y with respect to the first dividing drive conveyance apparatus 41, and a third dividing drive conveyance apparatus 43 disposed on the other side in the width direction Y with respect to the first dividing drive conveyance apparatus 41 as the dividing drive conveyance apparatus 4. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, an example in which three dividing drive conveyance apparatuses 41, 42, and 43 are used is shown, but the number of dividing drive conveyance apparatuses is not limited as long as there are a plurality of them.

[0034] Here, the conveyance direction X2 of the second dividing drive conveyance apparatus 42 and / or the conveyance direction X3 of the third dividing drive conveyance apparatus 43 can be disposed inclined with respect to the conveyance direction X1 of the first dividing drive conveyance apparatus 41. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, the conveyance direction X2 of the second dividing drive conveyance apparatus and the conveyance direction X3 of the third dividing drive conveyance apparatus 43 are disposed such that the downstream side is away from the conveyance direction X1 of the first dividing drive conveyance apparatus. By disposing the conveyance directions X2 and X3 of the second dividing drive conveyance apparatus 42 and the third dividing drive conveyance apparatus 43 in this way, it is possible to convey the crucibles S while expanding the interval between adjacent crucibles S. Therefore, it is possible to prevent adjacent crucibles S from contacting during conveyance, and thus it is easy to align the positions of the crucibles S.

[0035] In addition, as Figure 2 shown, it is preferable that the angle α1 formed by the conveying direction X2 of the second divided driving conveying device 42 and the conveying direction X1 of the first divided driving conveying device 41 is 1° or more and 5° or less, and the angle α2 formed by the conveying direction X3 of the third divided driving conveying device 43 and the conveying direction X1 of the first divided driving conveying device 41 is 1° or more and 5° or less. If α1 and α2 are less than 1°, the interval between adjacent crucibles S may be too small; if α1 and α2 exceed 5°, the interval between adjacent crucibles S may be too large. It should be noted that α1 and α2 may be the same or different.

[0036] In addition, the first divided driving conveying device 41, the second divided driving conveying device 42, and the third divided driving conveying device 43 may also be speed-fixed conveying devices with a fixed conveying speed, but preferably speed-variable conveying devices whose conveying speed can be adjusted.

[0037] In the continuous processing device 1 according to the present embodiment, the conveying speeds of the first divided driving conveying device 41, the second divided driving conveying device 42, and the third divided driving conveying device 43 are adjusted such that at the end position on the upstream side of the second aggregated driving conveying device 32, the differences G1 and G2 between the positions B1 and B2 of the crucibles S3, S4, S5, and S6 conveyed by the second divided driving conveying device 42 and / or the third divided driving conveying device 43 and the positions A of the crucibles S1 and S2 conveyed by the first divided driving conveying device 41 are 1 / 2 or more and 2 / 3 or less of the sizes of the crucibles S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6. By providing such divided driving conveying devices 41, 42, and 43, the position of the crucible can be controlled with higher precision, and the disorder of the rows of crucibles can be suppressed.
