Description

本発明は、各種製造分野の製造設備、運輸分野の移送設備、医療福祉分野の介護設備、芸術分野の舞台設備などに用いて被昇降物の姿勢を設置面に対して平行に維持した状態で垂直方向に昇降移動させる昇降装置であって、特に、噛合チェーンを昇降動作の駆動媒体として採用した噛合チェーン式昇降装置に関するものである。   The present invention is used for manufacturing equipment in various manufacturing fields, transport equipment in the transportation field, nursing care equipment in the medical and welfare field, stage equipment in the art field, etc. in a state where the posture of the object to be lifted is maintained parallel to the installation surface. The present invention relates to a lifting device that moves up and down in a vertical direction, and particularly to a meshing chain type lifting device that employs a meshing chain as a driving medium for lifting and lowering operation.

従来、昇降装置として、相互に噛み合って一体的に駆動される一対の噛合チェーン、所謂、チャックチェーンを用いて重量物などの被搬送物を昇降移動させる昇降装置がある(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
このような噛合チェーン式昇降装置では、相互に噛み合う内歯プレート間および相互に噛み合う外歯プレート間のそれぞれに微小なクリアランスが形成された状態で一対の噛合チェーンが相互に噛み合って剛直化する。
Conventionally, as a lifting device, there is a pair of meshing chains that are meshed with each other and driven integrally, that is, a lifting device that moves a transported object such as a heavy object up and down using a so-called chuck chain (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .)
In such a meshing chain type lifting device, a pair of meshing chains mesh with each other and become rigid in a state where minute clearances are formed between the inner tooth plates that mesh with each other and between the outer tooth plates that mesh with each other.

特開2009−286505(特許請求の範囲、図1参照。)JP 2009-286505 A (refer to claims, FIG. 1)

しかしながら、図10および図11に示すように、従来の噛合チェーン式昇降装置300では、相互に噛み合う内歯プレート311同士や外歯プレート312同士に偏荷重が作用した場合、一対の噛合チェーン310を相互に噛み合わせて剛直化させた状態で一対の噛合チェーン310の分岐方向の片側に湾曲してしまうため、一対の噛合チェーン310を相互に噛み合わせて剛直化させた状態で到達する昇降テーブル350の最上位位置が昇降テーブル350を到達させるべき位置からプレート面に平行な方向、すなわち一対の噛合チェーンの分岐方向にずれてしまい被搬送物を本来昇降移動させるべき位置に正確に移動させることが困難になるという問題点があった。
また、噛合チェーン310がそのチェーン幅方向についてもプレート間隔がやや広がってしまうような形で撓むため、前述した分岐方向の片側への湾曲と同様の問題点が生じてしまう。
また、従来の噛合チェーン式昇降装置では、特許文献1に示されるように、一対の噛合チェーンの剛直方向および分岐方向を含む仮想平面に平行に折り畳まれる昇降補助ガイド手段がこの仮想平面の両側に設置されているため、内歯プレートや外歯プレートのプレート面に平行な方向に沿った一対の噛合チェーンの湾曲状態を回避することが昇降補助ガイド手段の構造上困難であるという問題点があった。
加えて、従来の噛合チェーン式昇降装置では、一対の噛合チェーンの湾曲状態を矯正する構造を昇降補助ガイド手段に持たせるためには部品点数の増大を伴うため、部品コストの増大を招くとともに部品を組み上げる製造コストの増大を招くという問題点があった。
また、部品点数の増大に伴って昇降補助ガイド手段の重量が増大するため、一対の噛合チェーンに加わる負荷の増大を回避することができないという問題点があった。
However, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, in the conventional meshing chain type lifting device 300, when a biased load is applied to the internal tooth plates 311 and the external tooth plates 312 that mesh with each other, the pair of meshing chains 310 are arranged. Since the pair of meshing chains 310 are bent to one side in the branching direction when they are meshed with each other, the lifting table 350 is reached when the pair of meshing chains 310 are meshed with each other and stiffened. The position of the uppermost position is shifted from the position where the lifting table 350 should be reached in a direction parallel to the plate surface, that is, in the branching direction of the pair of meshing chains, so that the object to be conveyed can be accurately moved to the position where it should be moved up and down. There was a problem that it became difficult.
Further, since the meshing chain 310 bends in such a manner that the plate interval slightly increases in the width direction of the chain, the same problem as the above-described bending to one side in the branching direction occurs.
Further, in the conventional meshing chain type lifting device, as shown in Patent Document 1, lifting assist guide means that is folded in parallel to a virtual plane including the rigid direction and the branching direction of the pair of meshing chains is provided on both sides of the virtual plane. Therefore, it is difficult to avoid the bending state of the pair of meshing chains along the direction parallel to the plate surface of the inner tooth plate or the outer tooth plate because of the structure of the lifting assist guide means. It was.
In addition, in the conventional meshing chain type lifting device, in order to provide the lifting assist guide means with a structure for correcting the curved state of the pair of meshing chains, the number of parts is increased, which causes an increase in parts cost and parts. There is a problem in that the manufacturing cost for assembling the structure increases.
Moreover, since the weight of the lifting assist guide means increases as the number of parts increases, there is a problem that an increase in load applied to the pair of meshing chains cannot be avoided.

そこで、本発明が解決しようとする技術的課題、すなわち、本発明の目的は、製造コスト、部品コストおよび重量の増大を回避するとともに被搬送物を到達させるべき位置に正確に昇降移動させることを実現する噛合チェーン式昇降装置を提供することである。   Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention, that is, the object of the present invention is to avoid an increase in manufacturing cost, parts cost and weight and to accurately move up and down to a position where the object to be conveyed should reach.

The bending arm mechanism 160 is reliably prevented from tilting in the branching direction of the pair of meshing chains 110, so that the meshing chain type lifting device 100 of the present invention can more reliably cover the position where the object to be conveyed should reach. The conveyed product is moved up and down.

このようにして得られた第1実施例の噛合チェーン式昇降装置100では、一対の噛合チェーン110の自立矯正力Fを発生させる一対の屈曲アーム機構160が、一対の噛合チェーン110の分岐方向に沿った一対の噛合チェーン110の両側域で上端および下端を昇降テーブル150およびチェーン貫通プレート130にそれぞれ固定接続させた状態で一対の噛合チェーン110から等距離に設置されているとともにチェーン貫通プレート130の上面から昇降テーブル150の仮想上限位置までの高さH0より短い全長H1を有していることにより、昇降補助ガイド手段を用いる場合に比べて製造コストおよび部品点数の増大を回避して一対の噛合チェーン110に加わる負荷の増大を回避するとともに剛直化した一対の噛合チェーン110の湾曲状態の発生を回避して被搬送物を到達させるべき位置に正確に被搬送物を昇降移動させることを実現することができるなど、その効果は甚大である。
[第2実施例]
In the meshing chain type lifting apparatus 100 of the first embodiment obtained in this way, the pair of bending arm mechanisms 160 that generate the self-supporting correction force F of the pair of meshing chains 110 are arranged in the branching direction of the pair of meshing chains 110. The upper end and the lower end of the pair of meshing chains 110 are fixedly connected to the lifting table 150 and the chain through plate 130 in both side regions, and are installed at an equal distance from the pair of meshing chains 110 and By having the total length H1 shorter than the height H0 from the upper surface to the virtual upper limit position of the lifting table 150, a pair of meshing is avoided by avoiding an increase in manufacturing cost and the number of parts compared to the case where the lifting assist guide means is used.
