    [0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a transfer apparatus forming part of a transfer line or conveyor and most particularly a transfer apparatus for changing the direction of transfer of an object towards a direction. that cuts the main direction State of the art A product assembly line and a distribution area frequently use a conveyor line to transfer the products. For example, in the distribution place, there is a large number of conveyor lines installed in parallel in all directions and a transfer apparatus at the point where the transfer lines intersect. The transfer apparatus transports the object from the original conveyor line (main transfer line) to the other transfer line (auxiliary transfer line) and into the desired location. To perform the above function, the transfer apparatus has two conveyor sections for transporting the object and a lifting and lowering unit that changes the height of the conveyor sections. Each of the two conveyor sections has a transfer passage on which the product is to be transferred. The transfer directions of the transfer passages of the two transfer sections differ from each other. In the transfer apparatus, the relative height of the two transfer passages can be varied by the raising or lowering module mentioned above. In this type of transfer apparatus, the lifting and lowering module, the upper surface of the transfer passage of the conveyor section, which is not concerned with the transfer, is indented on the lower side of the conveyor section. transfer surface of the conveyor line and vice versa, the upper surface of the conveyor section which participates in the transfer is raised and exposed on the side of the transfer surface of the conveyor line. By maneuvering, that is to say by letting it work, the conveyor section rises on the side of the transfer surface, achieving a smooth transfer 3032440 2 without disturbing the transfer by a transfer section not concerned by this transfer . For example, a transfer apparatus is known from the document (JP 2013-230914 A). This transfer apparatus enables an object to be transported in the direction along the main transfer line by means of a main section; the product can also be transferred along a line that cuts through the main transfer line. The transfer apparatus, according to this document, comprises a roller conveyor as the main part and a belt conveyor for the auxiliary section. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION In a transfer apparatus such as that described in document 1, if a product is transferred in the direction along the main conveyor line, the main conveyor section of the roller conveyor is raised for find on the upper side of the conveyor auxiliary section of the conveyor belt and the object is transferred by the main conveyor section. As part of the development of the invention, the belt of the auxiliary conveyor section has been turned over to be on the lower side of the main conveyor section. This phenomenon is believed to be caused by the following causes: the belt conveyor is lowered by weight but not forced down by a cam mechanism or similar mechanism. Therefore, when a portion of the belt conveyor is suspended, the conveyor belt is not lowered sufficiently to the height at which it should be lowered. As the product is transferred by the roller conveyor, the product transfer direction and the belt conveyor belt travel direction intersect. When the object comes into contact with the tape, the tape may revert. The object can have a very different shape. It is thus possible that a portion of the object is brought into contact with the lowered and retracted web of the belt conveyor and that the web is disengaged. Tape clearance is an operating incident that not only stops the tape flow, but the product can not be transferred along the auxiliary line by the belt conveyor.
    [0002] In the case of the problem discussed above, it is an object of the present invention to develop a transfer apparatus having two transfer sections which convey a product in crossed directions and the transfer of the product is selected by selectively raising the product. one or both of the conveyor sections so that even if there is contact with the other conveyor section, the object is transported and no failure has been detected. DESCRIPTION AND ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a transfer apparatus 10 having: a frame, a main conveyor section with a main conveying passage in a fixed plane region for transferring an object into a a fixed direction, an auxiliary conveyor section having an auxiliary conveying passage in the same planar region as the main conveying passage for transferring the object in the direction which intersects the transfer direction of the main transfer passage, and a lifting and lowering mechanism which raises and lowers at least the main conveyor section and the auxiliary conveyor section to lift one of the transfer passages to the upper side of the other transfer passage and transfer the object in the desired direction, the conveyor main section or the conveyor auxiliary section being a wide conveyor device with a set of long rotary members having a predetermined length, arranged in parallel, the other conveyor section being a narrow conveyor device with a set of rows of narrow and parallel rotating members, each of the narrow rows of rotating members comprises a There are short rotation members arranged in the longitudinal direction of the long rotational members with the axes of rotation in directions which intersect the axes of rotation of the long rotary members and the narrow conveyor comprises a plurality of members. annularly along the row of short rotational members and so as to transmit the mechanical power to the short rotational members as a function of the circulation movement of the annular members coming into contact with the short rotary members directly or indirectly and, a source of power for driving the annular members. In the expression "long rotation member" and the expression "short rotation member": the terms "long" and "short" simply serve to compare the two rotary members without being limited to a ratio for each rotation member. individual. For example, the ratio of "short rotation members" could be long in the vertical direction.
    [0003] Preferably, the long rotation members are rollers and the short rotation members are belts and the wide conveyor device is a long roll conveyor while the narrow device is a short roll conveyor. Another feature of the invention is a transfer apparatus having: a frame; a main conveyor section with a main transfer passage in a fixed planar region for transferring an object in a fixed direction; an auxiliary conveyor section having an auxiliary transfer passage in the same planar region as the main transfer passage for transferring the object in the direction intersecting the direction of the main transfer passage, and an uplift and lowering mechanism which raises and lowers at least one of the two sections, the main section and the auxiliary section, to lift one of the transfer passages to the upper side of the other transfer passage and transfer the object in the direction desired. One of the two sections, the main conveyor section and the auxiliary conveyor section being a roller conveyor device with a set of long rollers arranged in parallel while the other conveyor section being a short conveyor with a set of rows of short rollers arranged in parallel, each of the rows of short rolls having a set of short rollers arranged in the longitudinal direction of the long rolls and whose axes of rotation are oriented in the direction of rotation which intersects that of the axes of the long rollers and the section of short rollers comprises: - a set of annular members organized in the row of short rollers for transmitting the mechanical power to the short rollers rotating according to the circulation of the annular members by contact direct or indirect with the short rollers, and - a power source that circulates the annular members. Desirably, the upper portions of the short rolls protrude from the upper side of the annular member, i.e. the belt. According to the above developments, the main conveyor section or the auxiliary conveyor section is a long roller conveyor with a set of parallel long rollers and the other conveyor is a short roll conveyor with a set of short rollers. parallel rows. The short roller conveyor has a power source that allows a set of annular members to operate and each of the annular members is disposed along each row of short rollers to engage the short rolls and transmit the mechanical power to short rolls. Thus, when the annular element circulates, it drives the short rollers and rotates them. The transported object being on the short rolls, it is transported by the rotation of the short rolls.
    [0004] When the product is conveyed by the long roll conveyor, even if the object is transferred and brought into contact with the other short roll conveyor device, towards the bottom side if a part of the roll conveyor device The short roller conveyor is suspended and the short roller conveyor is not lowered sufficiently to the height at which the short roller conveyor will be lowered so that the position and condition of the short roller conveyor is not changed. The short rollers are fixed to the axes of rotation. Thus, a short roll can even receive an external force simply in the direction of transfer but also in the direction that intersects the transfer direction.
    [0005] This is why, in a short roller conveyor, the upper parts of the short rollers protrude from the upper side of the annular element. Thus the transferred object can be brought into contact with the upper parts of the short rollers 5 but not with the annular member. The position and condition of the annular elements are not changed. The short roller conveyor consists of short cylindrical rollers and short spherical rollers. In addition to the above configuration, it is desirable that the short roller conveyor has a set of pulleys and that the annular members pass over the pulleys and are in contact with the suspended path of each annular member, which is complex with a set of corners or returns; any short roll or short rolls are in place to form the corner.
    [0006] In addition to the above desirable configuration, the short roller conveyor includes a set of pulleys. The annular members are co-operating belts with the pulleys and each short-side roll is between two pulleys and the short rollers are arranged in positions so as to cut off the tangential line shared by the two pulleys. In addition to the above configuration, it is desirable for the short roll conveyor to have a wall-shaped member for receiving all of the short rolls by a rotatably mounted, axially locked attachment to the wall.
    [0007] According to another feature, the short roll conveyor has a wall member and a set of pulleys and the assembly consisting of short rollers and pulleys is rotatably mounted and axially fixed to the wall, the annular member being suspended on the pulleys.
    [0008] According to another feature, the short roll conveyor has a set of wall elements, a set of pulleys and a set of short rolls, and an annular element so that each wall element constitutes a narrow conveyor. with the row of short rollers, the wall member being carried by a support member and these wall members being parallel to a stationary line, each wall member being located between the rollers of the roller conveyor. According to another feature, the power source of the short roller conveyor is a long drive roll and one of the drive rollers is engaged with a set of annular members. According to the invention, a friction element is provided at the outer periphery of the short rollers. According to the invention, the friction element is on the outer periphery of the short roll, which improves the friction between the short roll and the annular element and makes it easy to transmit mechanical power to the side of the body. annular to that of the short roll. Advantageously, the annular member cooperates with a portion of the peripheral surface of a short roll at a predefined angle. For example, the annular element is in contact on an angle of 5 degrees or more. According to the invention, the annular element cooperates with a portion of the peripheral surface of a short roll in a predefined angular range. This ensures a contact surface between the ring member and the short roll; the annular element and the short roller are closely connected to each other. This makes it easy to transmit the mechanical power between the ring member and the short roll. The portion in the defined angular range is a portion having a 360 degree circumferential surface around the center of rotation of the short roll. The short roll and the annular member are in surface contact with each other. Preferably, the short rolls of each row are in different positions of the short rolls of the row of short rolls, in the longitudinal direction of the short rolls. According to another feature, the short rolls of each row are in different positions of the short rolls of the adjacent row in the longitudinal direction of the long rolls. Thus the short rolls are arranged in zigzag, which stabilizes the transported products. Preferably, the lifting and lowering unit or mechanism for raising and lowering the motor is a lifting and lowering mechanism formed by the combination of a set of such elements. The raising and lowering mechanism has a pinion, a rack, a cam section to be moved in a linear motion by the rack and a cam follower in the main conveyor or the auxiliary driver. Preferably, the transfer apparatus comprises a regulating unit for regulating at least the main section and the auxiliary section to raise and lower them in a linear motion, the control unit being a plate body which can be secured between the frame and the main conveyor section or the auxiliary conveyor section in such a position that the wrapping direction of the control unit coincides with the direction in which the main conveyor section and the auxiliary section of the conveyor conveyor are raised and lowered.
    [0009] The transfer apparatus according to the invention, even when the transferred product comes into contact with the conveyor device retracted towards the bottom side, the conveyor when it is not active, remains in position. When the conveyor is retracted to the low side, it can transfer the object when it is lifted.

    [0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION An embodiment of the transfer apparatus 1 according to the invention will be described hereinafter. This transfer apparatus 1 has a large number of pieces whose shapes are not only complicated but also nested. Thus, to facilitate understanding of the invention, the general context and configuration characteristics of the transfer apparatus 1 will be described first before their detailed description. According to FIG. 3, the embodiment of the transfer apparatus 1 according to the invention comprises an auxiliary transport section 2, a main transport section 3, a lifting and lowering mechanism 4 and a roller incorporating a motor 5. In the transfer apparatus 1 according to the invention, the control units 72, 73 (FIG. 9) control the linear lifting and the right lowering of the auxiliary conveyor section 2 and the main section of the con- verter 3 which are raised and lowered linearly along a straight line. The auxiliary conveyor section 2 of the transfer apparatus 1 is a roller conveyor device, equipped with a set of parallel conveyor rollers 14. Since each individual conveyor element (conveyor roll 14) has a length corresponding to the entire width of the conveying auxiliary section 2 of the conveyor, it is concluded that the auxiliary transport conveyor section 2 is a wide conveyor device. According to FIG. 3, the auxiliary conveyor section 2 of the transfer apparatus 1 consists of a set of conveyor rolls 14 (long rolls) and a side frame 19 for the long rolls, so as to In four points of the bottom portion of the side frame of long rollers 19, there are cam followers 27 as shown in FIG. 4. The cam followers 27 are short rollers. The auxiliary conveyor section 2 is a unit formed by the integration of a set of conveyor rollers 14 (Fig. 3) and four cam followers 27 into the side frame 19 of the long rolls. At least one of the set of conveyor rolls 14 (long rolls) is a drive roll and the other conveyor rolls 14 are follower rolls. The mechanical power is transmitted from the motor roller to the follower rolls by belts. In the auxiliary conveyor section 2, there is a transfer passage formed by a set of conveyor rollers 14 and a product or watch 25 (FIG. 1) constituting the conveyed element, placed on the conveyor passage to be transported by the rotation of the conveyor rollers 14. The horizontal movement of the side frame 19 of the long rollers is set by the control units 73a-73d, and the reciprocating movement of the side frame 19 of the long rollers is a movement which only in the up and down directions. A summary of the structure of the main section of the conveyor 3 is as follows: According to FIG. 10, the main conveyor section 3 is a collective body formed of narrow conveyors 200 with short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h forming narrow rotary elements constituting conveyor elements and short rollers arranged in rows.
    [0012] According to FIG. 10, the main conveyor section 3 consists of fixing elements 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b, support elements 37, 38, short rolls 20a-20g, short rollers 30a, 30b, a belt drive roller 80 (power source). The short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h are cylindrical short rotating members, instead of which spherical short rollers could also be used. According to FIG. 13, pulleys 17a-17g and short rollers 20a-20g are connected to fastening elements 15a, 15b. According to Fig. 14, pulleys 77a-77h and short rollers 30a-30h are connected to the fasteners 16a, 16b. The fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are connected to support members 37, 38. This means that the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b and the support members 37, 38 are integrated into one unit. Fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are supported on support members 37, 38. Support members 37, 38 and securing members 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are integrated to form a Chassis section 18 for short rolls (Figure 4).
    [0013] The flange sections 39a, 39b are provided at both ends of each support member 37. Flange sections 39a, 39b carry pins 80a, 80b of the belt drive roller 80. The axes 80a, 80b are locked in position. rotation in the flange sections 39a, 39b.
    [0014] Cam followers 36 are respectively attached to the flange sections 39a, 39b. A belt 82 (annular member) passes over the pulleys 17a-17g of each of the attachment members 15a, 15b and the belt drive roller 80. The short rollers 20a-20g bear against the upper surface of the belt 80 on the side of the conveying passage (upper side). Tension is applied to the belt 80 which tightly engages a portion of the peripheral surface of each of the short rolls 20a-20g. Thus, a portion of the circumferential surface of each of the short rollers 20a-20g which corresponds to a predetermined angle about the axis of rotation of each short roll 20a-20g is thus always closely in surface contact with the belt 82 The belt 82 also passes over the pulleys 77a-77h of each fastener 16a, 16b and onto the belt drive roller 80. The short rollers 30a-30h bear on the upper surface of the belt. 82 on the side of the transfer passage (upper side). A tensioning force is applied to the belt 82 which is thus always tightly applied to a portion of the peripheral surface of each of the short rollers 30a-30h at a predefined angle. A lifting and lowering unit will be described below. In the present embodiment, the lifting and lowering unit is formed by the raising and lowering mechanism 4 constituted by the combination of a set of elements 10 and the roller with motor 5 as shown in FIG. FIG. 3. More precisely, the raising and lowering mechanism 4 is composed of pinions 26a, 26b, horizontal movement elements 11, cam followers 27 forming part of the auxiliary conveyor section 2, followers cam 36 forming part of the main conveyor section 3 and the like. The pinions 26a, 26b are fixed at both ends of the body 5a of the main roller, that is to say the roller with motor 5. When the main body 5a of the motor roller 5 rotates, it drives the gear wheels 26a , 26b.
    [0015] In the present embodiment, the two horizontal movement members 11 are located in parallel between the side frame 19 of the long rolls and the side frame section 18 with the short rolls. A rack section 9 equips the surface of the upper side of each horizontal movement member 11. The horizontal movement members 11 can move alternatively only in the longitudinal direction. The pinions 26a, 26b are arranged with rack sections 9 to be turned towards the upper side. According to FIGS. 4, 5, 6, each of the horizontal movement members 11 is a direct action cam having an elongated upper surface 11a. The upper surface 11a has recessed portions and raised portions. Thus, from one end, in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal movement element 11, there is a first lower part 8a, a first upper part 7a, a second lower part 8b and a second upper part 7b. as well as a third low portion 8c. The first lower section 8a, the second lower section 8b and the third lower section 8c acting as a recessed cam are on the upper surface 11a of the horizontal movement element 11. The rack 9 shown below It is located in the middle part of the second lower section 8b in the middle of this upper surface 11a. The gears 26a, 26b are engaged with the rack sections 9. By transmitting the mechanical power, the gears 26a, 26b rotating in one direction or the other, the horizontal movement elements 11 perform reciprocating motion. in the horizontal direction. By rotating the motor roller 5, the power is transmitted to the horizontal movement elements 11 which then perform a reciprocating motion. The cam followers 27 of the long roll side frame 19 and the cam followers 36 of the side frame section 18 of the short rollers are in the recessed portions of the cams (including the first lower section 8a, the second section bass 8b and the third bass section 8c). That is, when the motor roller 5 is rotated, the gears 26a, 26b rotate and the upper surfaces 11 have horizontal movement members 11 are moved horizontally to the right during the rotation of the cam followers 27 as indicated in FIG. Figure 7 shows the cam followers 27 emerging from the first low sections 8a, the second lower sections 8b serving as hollow cam members. As a result, the side frame 19 of the long rollers with the cam followers 27 descends so that the auxiliary conveyor section 2 descends. Since the cam followers 36 are on the first upper sections 7a and the second upper sections 7b of the horizontal movement elements 11, the main section of the con- verter 3 remains in the raised position. Likewise when the motor roller 5 is rotating, the pinions 26a, 26b rotate and the horizontal movement members 11 are moved horizontally to the left as shown in FIG. 8b, the four cam followers 36 of the short-side frame section. 35 18 being extracted from the lower sections 8b and the third low sections 8c serving as recessed cam. As a result, the side frame section 18 of the short rolls goes down and thus the main conveyor section 3 is lowered. Since the cam followers 27 are on the first top sections 7a and the second top sections 8b of the horizontally moving members 11, the auxiliary section of the conveyor 2 remains in the raised position. As described above, as the motor roller 5 rotates, the gears 26 rotate and the horizontal movement members 11 are moved. Thus the rotation of the motor roller 5 alternately causes the lifting and lowering of the main conveyor section 3 and the auxiliary conveyor section 2. The transfer apparatus 1 according to the invention has an external appearance. as shown in Figures 1 and 2; in these figures, the main section 3 and the auxiliary section 2 are joined and are installed in the main frame 12. As shown in FIG. 9A, the main conveyor section 3 and the main frame 12 are combined only by four regulation 72a - 72d. As shown in FIG. 9A, the auxiliary conveyor section 2 and the main frame 12 are combined only by four control units 73a-73d. The regulating units 72, 73 are obtained by cutting butching a thin strip of spring steel. The regulating units 72, 73 are thus thin, resilient plates which can be developed in a fixed direction. When a deflection force is applied in the direction perpendicular to a plane, the regulating units 72, 73 are easily deformed. However, the regulating units 72, 73 oppose a strong resistance to the force in the torsion direction so that the regulating units 72, 73 are not easily twisted. Therefore, the main conveyor section 3 and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 are regulated by the actions of the four control units 72a-72d and the four control units 73a-73d to be moved linearly in the perpendicular direction. to that of the main chassis 12.
    [0016] As described above, the main conveyor section 3 and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 have four cam followers 27 and four cam followers 36. The four cam followers 27 and the four cam followers 36 are raised and retracted. lowered at the same time by the horizontal movement elements 11 thus constituting a direct action cam. Therefore, the four cam followers 36 of the main conveyor section 3 are lifted and lowered at the same time by the horizontal movement elements 11. Thus, the main conveyor section 3 is raised and lowered while preserving its horizontal orientation. The same remark applies to the auxiliary conveyor section 2. The four cam followers 27 of the auxiliary conveyor section 2 are raised and lowered at the same time by the horizontal movement elements 11. Thus, the auxiliary conveyor section 2 15 is raised and lowered while maintaining its horizontal orientation. The specific configurations of the transfer apparatus 1 of the present embodiment will be detailed below. According to FIG. 1, the present embodiment of the transfer apparatus 1 is partly integrated in the transfer line 21, where the transfer paths intersect. The transfer apparatus 1 is thus placed between the main transfer line 22 on the upstream side and the main transfer line 23 on the downstream side, aligned to form the main conveyor passage 100 as well as on an auxiliary line of Conveyor 24, perpendicular to the main lines 22, 23 connected to the transfer apparatus 1. The conveyor line 21 can thus transport the product 25 along the main passage 100 (main conveyor line 22, 23) and modify the direction of movement. conveying on the transfer apparatus 1 and passing the product 25 along the auxiliary conveying passage 101 (auxiliary conveying line 24). Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, the transfer apparatus 1 has a main frame 12 housing all the elements, namely the main conveyor section 3 which carries the product 25 (FIG. 1) to the side of the main line of conveyor 23 (FIG. 1) and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 which carries the product 25 along the auxiliary passageway 101. According to FIG. 3, the transfer apparatus 1 comprises a lifting and lowering mechanism. 4. The main frame 12 has a bottom wall section 31, long side side wall sections 32a, 32b and small side side wall sections 33a, 33b. The bottom wall section 31 is a thin rectangular plate. The long side side wall sections 32a, 32b are provided on the end sides on the long side of the bottom wall section 31. The narrow side side wall sections 33a, 33b have short sides on the Short side of the bottom wall section 31. The long side side wall sections 32a, 32b and the narrow side side wall sections 33a, 33b are connected to form a frame surrounding the four sides. The long-side wall sections 32a, 32b and the narrow-side wall sections 33a, 33b are fixed perpendicular to the bottom wall section 31. The bottom wall section 31 receives the four guide members 68 following the long-side wall sections 32a, 32b at the ends of the central side portions of the long-side wall sections 32a, 32b. Each guide member 68 has a base plate 68a and a holding member 68b for applying the base plate 68a to the bottom wall section 31. A guide rail (not shown) is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate 68a in guide member 68, so that horizontal movement element 11 can reciprocate along the guide rail (this solution is not shown). According to Fig. 3, the fastening members of the regulating unit 28a, 28b are on the outer side of the narrow side wall sections 33a, 33b in the main frame 12. The securing sections 66a, 66b (holes) for fixing one end of the regulating units 73a, 73b by screwing or the like is provided in the control unit fixing member 28a. In the same manner, the securing sections 67a, 67b (holes) for fixing one end of the regulating units 73c, 73d by similarly screwing or assembling are provided on the control unit fixing member 28b. The remaining ends of the regulating units 73a-73d are combined with the side frame 19 of the long rolls of the conveyor auxiliary section 2. Four tubular fastening sections 35a-35d (Fig. 4) are provided on the bottom wall section. 31. Tapping is performed within each of the tubular securing sections. According to Fig. 9, one end of the regulating units 72a-72d is each fixed to a tubular attachment section 35a-35d. The other end of the regulating units 72a-72d is combined in each case with the support elements 37, 38 of the main conveyor section 3.
    [0017] The tubular securing sections 35a-35d (main frame 12) are coupled to the support members 37, 38 (main conveyor section 3) as will be described next with the control units 72a-72d. The lifting and lowering mechanism 4 and the motor roller 5 equip the bottom wall section 31. According to FIGS. 3, 5, the lifting and lowering mechanism 4 comprises the horizontal movement elements 11. The motor roller 5 has a main body 5a and the shaft ends 34a, 34b. The main roller body 5a runs along a motor and gearbox (not shown). Both ends of the main body 5a of the roller are provided with pinions 26a, 26b. The pinions 26a, 26b are rotatably integrated in the main body 5a of the roll. According to FIG. 3, the motor roller 5 is installed in the middle of the bottom wall section 31 in a position such that the motor roller 5 is at a short distance from the main frame 12. The shafts 34a, 34b are mounted rotatably in the bearing sections 29a, 29b (FIG. 3) of the main frame 12. The pinions 26a, 26b cooperate with the teeth 9a of the racks 9 of the horizontal movement elements 11, as will be described next. According to FIGS. 3, 5, 6, each of the horizontal movement elements 11 is an elongate, solid element. The section of each horizontal movement element 11 is rectangular. The horizontal movement element 11 is housed in the main frame 12 so that the longitudinal direction of the rectangular section coincides with the upward and downward movement. The rack 9 is provided in the middle of the upper surface 11a of the horizontal movement element 11. The teeth 9a are formed in the rack 9 by appropriate machining such as a gear size process. The teeth 9a of the rack 9 are made in the upward side. The lateral surface of the horizontal movement element 11 comprises two axes 10 passing through two points of the horizontal movement element 11 in the longitudinal direction. The axes 10 are arranged one by one on both sides of the rack 9. The pair of short steer rolls 6 is attached to each axis 10. According to FIGS. 6, 7, 8, the upper surface 1 of the horizontal movement element 11 has several parts of different heights. The upper surface 11a of the horizontal movement element 11 thus has, from one end to the other, a first lower section 8a, a first upper section 7a, a second lower section 8b and a second upper section 7b and a third bass section 8c. The first lower section 8a and the third lower 8c are at both ends of the horizontal movement element 11. The rack 9 is located in the middle of the second lower section 8b, that is to say in the middle of the Upper face 11a. According to Fig. 3, the short guide rollers 6 are provided on the base plate 68a of the guide member 68. The pair of short guide rollers 6 can reciprocate on the base plate 68a on the base plate 68a. along the guide rail (not shown). The teeth 9a of the racks 9 meshes with the pinions 26a, 26b, fixed to the main body 5a of the roller 5, equipped with a motor. Therefore, when the motor roller 5 is driven, the horizontal movement elements 11 are moved in the longitudinal direction of the main frame 12. Figure 6C shows the gear 26a (26b) engaged with the central portion of the rack section 9 of the horizontal movement element 11. When the gear 26a rotates counterclockwise according to FIG. 6C, the horizontal movement element 11 moves to the right as shown in FIG. Figure 7C. As the pinion 26a rotates clockwise, the horizontal movement member 11 moves to the left as shown in FIG. 8C. As shown in FIG. 10, the main conveyor section 3 is formed of fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b, support members 37, 38, pulleys 17a-17g, short rolls 20a-20g short rollers 30a-30h, belt drive roller 80, belts 82 or the like. According to FIG. 12, each of the fastening elements 15a, 15b is an element obtained by partially folding a flat plate to give it an L shape. Each fastening element 15a, 15b has a vertical section (wall-shaped element) 49a and horizontal sections 49b, 49c. The horizontal sections 49b, 49c are provided on the bottom side of the vertical section 49a. Horizontal sections 49b, 49c continue at the bottom of the vertical section 49a, and are folded in the same direction relative to the vertical section 49a. The vertical section 49a is attached to the support members 37, 38. The pulleys 17a-17g and the seven short rollers 20a-20g are free to rotate and held axially by the vertical section 49a. This means that as shown in FIG. 10, support orifices are rotatably provided with the pulleys 17a-17g and the seven short rollers 20a-20g equip the vertical section 49a.
    [0018] The pulleys 17a-17g are distributed in the longitudinal direction of the vertical section 49a. As shown in FIG. 10, the attachment heights of the pulleys 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d are the same on the upper side and the attachment heights of the pulleys 17e, 17f, 17g are the same on the lower side. The pulleys 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d are located higher than the pulleys 17e, 17f, 17g. The seven short rollers 20a-20g are arranged and distributed in the longitudinal direction of the vertical section 49. The short rollers 20a, 20b are partly between the pulley 17a and the pulley 17b in the longitudinal direction of the sec- 3032440 vertical 49a. The short rollers 20c and 20d are partly between the pulley 17b and the pulley 17c. The short rollers 20e, 20f are partly between the pulley 17c and the pulley 17d. The short roll 20g is partly between the pulley 17d and the pulley 17e.
    [0019] The heights of the short rollers 20a-20g match and the upper portions of the short rollers 20a-20g project from the upper sides of the vertical section 49a. The upper parts of the short rollers 20a - 20g form a transport surface.
    [0020] A hollow section 59a or 59c (Fig. 12) is provided in the portion between the horizontal section 49b and the horizontal section 49c in the lower portion of the vertical section 49a of each of the fasteners 15a, 15b. Each of the fasteners 16a, 16b also has a vertical section 50a and horizontal sections 50b, 50c as well as the vertical section 49a and the horizontal sections 49b, 49c of each of the fasteners 15a, 15b. The pulleys 77a-77h and the seven short rollers 30a-30h are rotatably mounted and axially fixed to the vertical section 50a. Thus, as shown in FIG. 14, support orifices rotatably receive the pulleys 77a-77h and the eight short rollers 30a-30h are on the vertical section 50a. The pulleys 77a-77h and the eight short rollers 30a-30h are arranged and distributed in the longitudinal direction of the vertical section 50a. According to FIG. 15A, the fixing positions of the short rollers 30a-30h, in the longitudinal direction of the fastening elements 16a, 16b are positions for which the short rollers 30a-30h and the short rollers 20a-20g on the side of the elements. 15a, 15b are in zigzag at the time of the establishment of the fastening elements 15a, 15b and fastening elements 16a, 16b. Thus, the short roll 20a of the fastener 15a is between the short rollers 30a, 30b in the longitudinal direction of the fastener 16a. The short rolls 20b-20g and the short rollers 30b-3032440 23 30h alternate in the longitudinal direction of the fasteners 15a, 16a. When the main conveyor section 3 and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 are arranged in the main frame 12, the longitudinal direction of the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor rolls 14 (long rollers ) of the auxiliary conveyor section 2 as will be described. The short rollers 20a - 20g and 30a - 30h are distributed in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor rollers 14.
    [0021] In the fasteners 16a, 16b, the pulleys 77a-77h are arranged so that the short rollers 30a-30h are as described above. The fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are distributed in intervals in this order so that the vertical sections 15 are parallel to each other. The horizontal sections 49b, 49c, 50b, 50c, fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are connected to the support members 37, 38 as will be described later by screwing or similar fastening means.
    [0022] According to Figures 11 and 12, the support members 37, 38 are generally parallelepipedal in shape. The support member 37 has a structure with two sides of the rectangular flat plate of the elongate side which are angled in the same direction; one of the sides is in addition folded in right angle to face the other side.
    [0023] The support member 37 thus has a box-like shape with an upper surface section 42a (FIGS. 11 and 16) and a lower surface section 42b (FIG. 12). The horizontal sections 49c, 50c of the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are attached to the upper surface section 42a by fastening means such as screwing or welding. The other ends of the regulating units 72c, 72d whose ends are connected to the main frame 12 are attached to the lower surface section 42b.
    [0024] The flat plate-shaped flange sections 39a, 39b are attached to both ends of the support member 37 on the short side by welding or similar fastening means. Through-holes 40a, 40b receive the axles 80a, 80b of the belt drive roller 80 which thus pass through the flange sections 39a, 39b. The section of the axes 80a, 80b is not circular but for example hexagonal. Through-holes or holes 40a, 40b have a shape similar to the section of axes 80a, 80b and a size and shape of a hole to receive exactly the shafts 80a, 80b. The support holes (not shown) for rotatably mounting the cam followers 36 are formed in the flange sections 39a, 39b. The cam followers 36 are respectively attached to the flange sections 39a, 39b. The cam follower 36 is installed in the flange section 39a and the cam follower 36a is installed in the flange section 39b at positions at the same height. The support member 38 has a structure formed by folding in the rectangular plate member as the support member 37. The support member 38 has an upper surface section 60a (Fig. 11) and a surface section lower 60b (Figure 12). There is no difficulty since the structure is the same for the support member 37 and the support member 38. However, in the present embodiment of Fig. 12, the support member 38 has a structure whose lower surface section 60b protrudes outwardly.
    [0025] The flange sections 41a, 41b are at both longitudinal ends of the support member 38. The not shown holes for rotatably receiving the cam followers 36 are formed in the flange sections 41a, 41b. This means that the cam followers 36 are respectively attached to the flange sections 41a, 41b. The cam followers 36 installed in the flange sections 41a, 41b are in positions of the same height. The horizontal sections 49b, 50b of the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are attached to the upper surface section 60a of the support member 38 by a fastening means, for example by screwing or welding. The other ends of the control units 3032440 72a, 72b, some of which are attached to the main frame 12, are attached to the lower surface section 60b of the support member 38. The support members 37, 38 are arranged and spaced apart. each other in the longitudinal direction of the fastening elements 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b in a position in which the longitudinal direction of the support members 37, 38 is perpendicular to the fastening members 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b . The horizontal sections 49b, 49c, 50b, 50c of the securing members 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b are attached to the support members 37, 38 by means of attachment, for example by screwing. The fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b and the support members 37, 38 are integrated to form a module and the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b come on the support members 37, 38. The followers of The cams 36 installed in the flange sections 39a, 39b on one side of the support member 37 are in positions at the same height as the cam followers 36 installed in the flange sections 41a, 41b on the side of the flange section. the support member 38. The belt drive roller 80 is a roller 20 with a motor. This roll has a main body 81 and axes 80a, 80b. The section of the axes 80a, 80b has a non-circular shape, for example a hexagonal shape. The through orifices 40a, 40b made in the flange sections 39a, 39b have a shape similar to the outer shape of the shafts 80a, 80b and their size and the shape of the orifices permit the axes 80a, 80b to be accurately received. Therefore, when the belt drive roller 80 rotates, the axes 80a, 80b passing through the orifices 40a, 40b do not rotate relative to the flange sections 39a, 39b. The roller main body 81 rotates about the axes 80a, 80b as the belt drive roller 80 operates. The belt drive roller 80 is perpendicular to the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b; it is provided on the underside of the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b. The main body 81 of the belt drive roller 80 is housed in the arcuate hollow sections 47a to 47d, fasteners 15a, 3032440 26a, 15b, 16b. Therefore, the height including that of the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b and the belt drive roller 80 is slightly reduced. The belt drive roller 80 is in a lower position than the pulleys 17e, 17f, 17g. The belt 82 (annular element) is suspended from the pulleys 17a-17g of each of the fastening elements 15a, 15b and the belt drive roller 80. The pulleys 17a-17d and the belt drive roller 80 are connected to the pulley 17a. inside the annular belt or annular belt 82; the pulleys 17f, 17g are located in the lower part, outside the belt 82. In the present embodiment, the belts 82 of the fastening elements 15a, 15b are driven by the driving roller 80. As shown in Fig. 10, the short rollers 20a-20g press on the upper surface of the belt 82 to press it against the side of the conveying passage (upper side). Any one of the pulleys 17a-17g functions as a tensioner member and a predetermined tensile force is applied to the belt 82. The belt 82 is always closely in contact with the portion of the peripheral surface of each short roll. 20a - 20g on a predefined angular range. This means that the belt 82 (annular element) is disposed along the pulleys 17a-17g and the short rollers 20a 20g. As shown in FIG. 13, the short rollers 20a-20g project from the upper side of the belt 82.
    [0026] Likewise, the belt 82 (annular element) is also suspended from the pulleys 77a-77h of each of the fastening elements 16a, 16b and the driving roller 80. As shown in FIG. 10, the short rollers 30a - 30 hours rest on the upper surface of the belt 82 on the side of the conveying passage (upper side). Any one of the pulleys 77a-77h functions as a tensioning member and applies a predetermined tension to the belt 82. The belt 82 is still tightly attached to the portion of the peripheral surface of each of the short rollers 30a-30h, on a belt. predefined angular range. This means that the belt 82 is distributed along the pulleys 77a-77h and the short rollers 30a-30h. As shown in FIG. 14, the short rollers 30a-30h project from the upper side of the belt 82. According to FIGS. 15B, 15C, the belts 82 (annular elements) are in contact with all the pulleys 17a-17g. , 77a - 77h 5 and all the short rolls 20a - 20g, 30a - 30h. The suspension paths of belts 82 (annular members) are complicated as shown in FIGS. 15B, 15C. This means that the running direction of the belts 80 varies partially where the belts are in contact with the pulleys 17a-17g, 77a-77h and the short rolls 20a-20g, 30a-30h forming wedges. Short rollers 20b-20f, 30b-30g with the short rollers disposed at both ends are in positions varying the path of the belts 82 by more than 30 degrees. Therefore, the angular range of contact of the short rollers 20b-20f, 30b-30g with the belts 82 is 30 degrees or more, thereby effectively transmitting the driving force of the belts 82. As described herein above, the short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h are placed in positions to press the upper surface of the belts 82 on the transfer passage side (upper side). As in Figure 17, any short roll is between two pulleys and each of the short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h is in a position traversing the tangent 201 as one or two pulleys. Therefore, the driving force of the pulleys 82 will be effectively transmitted to the short rolls 20a-20g, 30a-30h. A rubber friction element is preferably provided at the periphery of each of the short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h. In addition to the belt, it is possible, for example, to use a chain, a cord or the like as an annular element.
    [0027] The auxiliary conveyor section 2 (Fig. 3) has a side frame 19 of long rollers and a conveyor main body 19 of long rolls. The main body 13 is on the side frame 19. The main conveyor body 13 with long rollers as described above, has a set of conveyor rollers 14 (long rollers) rotated and the other conveyor rollers are 3032440 28 follower rollers. The mechanical power is transmitted from the drive roller to the follower rollers by belts. The conveyor rollers 14 are carried axially by the two wall sections 52a, 52b and which face the short sides.
    [0028] The side frame 19 of the long rolls has two side wall sections, long side 51a, 5b and two side wall sections, short side 52a, 52b. The long side side wall sections 51a, 51b have the same structure and are formed to be symmetrical left / right. The long side wall section 51a will be described and this description may be transposed to the long side side section 51b which will not be repeated here. The side frame 19 of the long rolls is a frame member with long side wall sections 51a, 51b and short side side wall sections 52a, 52b. The side frame 19 receives the main conveyor section 3. The long side side section 51a is formed by a flat, long member. The upper section of the long side sidewall section 51a is folded square to form a flange. The fixing holes 54a are provided at two points of the long side side section 51a. The fastening holes 54a of the follower members are orifices for rotatably and axially receiving the cam followers 27 (this is the long side sidewall section 51a). The two cam followers 27 are spaced at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the long side wall section 51a and the two cam followers 27 are in offset portions of the center of the side wall section. long side 51a. The cam followers 27 are located inside the lateral frame 19.
    [0029] The flat shape of the transfer apparatus 1 when the elements described above are assembled, is shown in FIG. 15A. According to FIG. 15A, the rows of short rollers 70a-70d with the short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30g of the main conveyor section 3 are distributed between the conveyor rollers 14 (long rollers) of the conveyor auxiliary section. 2.
    [0030] The main conveyor section 3 is the overall body of the belts 82 attached to the fasteners 15a, 16a, 15b, 16b and the narrow conveyors 200 formed by the pulleys 17a-17g, 77a-77h and the short rollers 20a-20g , 30a - 30h. Each of the narrow conveyors 200 is disposed between the conveyor rollers 14 of the conveyor auxiliary section 2. The operation of the transfer apparatus 1 will be described hereinafter. Figure 1 shows that an object 25 in the transport direction according to Figure 1 and the transfer apparatus 1 operates as follows. The object 25 is transported from the main transport line, upstream side to the main transport line, downstream side 23; the main section 3 of the transfer apparatus 1 is raised with the short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h (rows of the short rollers) distributed on the conveying passage; the auxiliary conveyor section 2 is lowered to retract the conveyor rolls 14 towards the lower side of the conveyor passage. The motor roller 5 is then driven and the horizontal movement elements 11 are moved as shown in FIG. 7C; the cam followers 36 of the main conveyor section 3 arrive on the first upper sections 7a and the second upper sections 7b; the cam followers 27 of the auxiliary conveyor section 2 arrive on the first lower sections 8a (hollow part 25 of the cam shape) and the second lower sections 8b (hollow part). As a result, the main conveyor section 3 reaches the raised position and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 is lowered into the down position. The short rolls 20a-20g, 30a-30h (rows of short rolls) to which the mechanical power is conveyed by the belt 82 arrive on the transport surface and the object 25 is transferred to the downstream side 23 of the line The main conveyor unit, the main conveyor section 3 of the transfer apparatus 1. The regulating units 72, 73 guide the main conveyor section 3 and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 so that these 3032440 sections move in the same direction. vertical direction as shown in Figures 7A, 7B. If the object is to be transferred from the main conveyor line 22, upstream side, to the auxiliary conveyor line 24, the auxiliary conveyor section 2 of the transfer apparatus 1 is raised so that the conveyor rolls 14 lie on the conveyor passage; the section of the main conveyor 3 is lowered and the short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h are retracted towards the lower side of the transfer passage.
    [0031] The motor roller 5 is driven; the horizontal movement elements 11 are moved to the left as shown in FIG. 8C; the cam followers 36 of the main conveyor section 3 are in the second lower position 8b (cam-shaped portion) and the third lower section 8c (recess portion of the cam) and the cam followers 27 of the auxiliary conveyor section 2 are on the first high sections 7a and the second high sections 7b. As a result, the main conveyor section 3 is lowered and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 is raised. The conveyor rollers 14 are at the transfer surface 20 and the object 25 passes on the side of the auxiliary conveyor line 24 by the auxiliary conveyor section 2 of the transfer apparatus 1. The control units 72 73 guide the main conveyor section 3 and the auxiliary conveyor section 2 so that the conveyor sections move in the vertical direction as shown in Figs. 8A, 8B. Upon transfer of the object 25 to the side of the auxiliary conveyor passage 101, in the transfer apparatus 1, the auxiliary conveyor section 2 is raised and the main conveyor section 3 is lowered. The object 25 is thus moved in the direction 30 which crosses the running direction of the belts 82 on the upper side of the main conveyor section 3. However, the short rollers 20a - 20g, 30a - 30h (rows of rolls short) are on the upper side of the belts 82 in the main conveyor section 3. Therefore, even if the bottom of the object 25 comes into contact with the main conveyor section 3, the object 25 contact with the 3032440 31 short rolls 20a - 20g, 30a - 30h (short rolls) placed on the upper side of the belts 82 but not in contact with these belts 82. Thus, the belts 82 are not detached at the external force receiving from the object 25.
    [0032] The short rollers 20a-20g, 30a-30h are fixed on axes of rotation. The short rollers can thus carry and receive external forces not only in the transfer direction but also in the direction that crosses the transfer direction. Therefore, the position and state of the short rolls 20a-20g, 30a-30h are not changed. According to FIG. 15A, in the rows of the short rollers of the main conveyor section 3, the short rollers 20a-20g and the short rollers 30a-30h may alternately be distributed in a zig-zag pattern. However, in the short roll rows, the short rolls may be arranged at the same intervals in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor rolls 14 (long rolls). This means that only rows of short rolls with short rolls 20a - 20g will be adopted and only short rolls with short rolls 30a - 30h will be suitable.
