METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ALIGNING AND CARRYING-OUT ARTICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely and efficiently align articles zigzag for carry-out by temporarily stopping each tip of articles, which are aligned on a carry-in conveyor, in the condition that they are aligned in the lateral direction, and thereafter, aligning them zigzag per each line so as to feed them to a delivery table, and adhering them to form a single aligned article group, and carrying out it onto a carry-out conveyor. ;SOLUTION: Articles B, which are aligned by an arrangement guide member 13, are moved on a carry-in conveyor 10 along a movable guide plate, and abut on a tip stopper device 15. At this stage, the articles B, which are aligned in the predetermined number of line, are temporarily stopped in the condition that they are aligned in the lateral direction, and thereafter, they are aligned zigzag per each line. The articles B, which are aligned zigzag on the carry-in conveyor 10, are fed to a delivery table 25 by an aligning device 12. The delivery table 25 transfers the fed articles B as an adhered zigzag-shaped article group to a carry-out conveyor 40. With this structure, turbulence of line is reduced, and fall and jump-out of the article B can be prevented.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
