Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for sorting and carrying out tires, and more particularly, to a method for manually testing tires of various different sizes which are inspected by a uniformity machine and are transported at random. The present invention relates to a tire sorting method for automatically sorting and loading on a rack without going through.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when sorting tires of various different sizes that have been inspected by a uniformity machine and are transported at random, all of them have been performed manually.

However, the tire sorting device has a problem that it requires a large space, requires a lot of labor and time, and has an extremely poor work efficiency.

[Object of the Invention]

The present invention was devised by focusing on such conventional problems, and the purpose thereof is to manually handle tires of various different sizes that are inspected by a uniformity machine and are transported at random. There is provided a tire sorting and unloading method capable of automatically sorting without tires and automatically loading a predetermined number of tires on a rack.

[Structure of Invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention divides tires of various sizes, which are inspected by a uniformity machine and are conveyed at random, into a plurality of rows of storage conveyors by clamping by a traveling type stacking device. Store them in a stacked state, and then use the transfer conveyors of the same size to collect the tires with the same type of tires for one rack by the transfer device and carry them out to the carry-out conveyor. The gist of the present invention is that the tires can be sorted without being manually loaded by automatically loading the racks.

Example of Invention

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a tire sorting / carrying-out device according to the present invention.
The traveling type stacking device 3 for stacking and sorting the tires W of various different sizes, which are inspected by the uniformity machine and are transported at random, on the storage conveyors 2 of different sizes by clamping, is installed. At the carry-out end of the separate storage conveyor 2, the traverser 5 (transfer device) that receives the tires W of the same type piled up in a predetermined number (tires for one rack) and transfers them to the step-varying device 4 in the next process Is provided.

The stage disassembly device 4 includes a plurality of rows of free conveyors 6.
(Carry-out conveyors) are arranged in parallel, and on the carry-out side of the free conveyor 6, the inspector M inspects the conveyed tires W and stacks them on one row of racks (eight in this embodiment). A stacking device 7 for raising, and a tire falling device 8 for falling the stacked tires W on a side portion of the stacking device 7,
An automatic rack loading device 9 for automatically loading the tires laid down by the tire laying down device 8 on the rack L is installed.

Next, the tire sorting and carrying out method will be described with reference to the configuration diagram of FIG. 1 and the flowchart of the tire sorting and carrying out method of FIG.

First, in the step of FIG. 2, the tire W is inspected by the uniformity machine, and the inspected tires W of various sizes are randomly transported by the transport conveyor 1 to the traveling type stacking device 3 of the step.

Then, in the traveling type stacking device 3, various conveyed tires W of different sizes are clamped by the traveling type stacking device 3 and are set at predetermined positions on the storage conveyors 2 according to size of a plurality of rows of steps. Number (2
Two or more blocks (for one rack) of the tires W that have been stacked are sorted and stacked. This control is performed by a control method programmed in advance by a control device (not shown).

Next, the tire W having the same type of tires for one rack is collected by the size-based storage conveyor 2 in the stacked state by the traverser 5 (transfer device) of the step, and the step dispersal device 4 of the next process is taken. Transfer to (step). In this stage disassembling device 4, the stacked tires W are individually separated and are carried out to a plurality of rows of the free conveyors 6, where the tires W are inspected by the inspector M one by one and one row of racks is provided. It is piled up in minutes (8 in this embodiment). Then, in the step, the tires W stacked by the stacking device 7 are transferred to the stepping device 8 of the stepping device, and the tires W collapsed by the device 8 of automatically depressing the tires are automatically placed in the rack L by the automatic rack loading device 9 of the stepping step. I try to load it on.

As described above, according to the present invention, after the tires W inspected by the uniformity machine are sorted by type and stored, the tires W are inspected and automatically stacked on the rack L in a state of being stacked for one row of racks. Since the tires W are put in, the tires W can be sorted and carried out efficiently without the need for manpower and the use of a large space as in the conventional case.

〔The invention's effect〕

This invention is a state in which tires of various different sizes, which have been inspected by the uniformity machine and are conveyed at random as described above, are clamped by a traveling type stacking device and sorted into a plurality of size-specific storage conveyors for stacking. The storage conveyors for each size are used to store the tires, and the tires with the same type of tires for one rack are picked up by the transfer device and carried out to the carry-out conveyor. Since the tires of different sizes are inspected by the uniformity machine and randomly transported, they are automatically sorted without manual intervention, and a predetermined number of tires are automatically loaded into the rack. There is an effect that can be loaded.

Claims (1)

(57) [Claims] 1. Tires of various different sizes, which are inspected by a uniformity machine and are conveyed at random, are clamped by a traveling type stacking device and sorted and stored in a plurality of rows of storage conveyors of different sizes for storage. Then, the size-specific storage conveyor collects the tires of the same type of tires for one rack by the transfer device and carries them out to the carry-out conveyor. After inspection one by one, the racks are stacked one row and automatically stacked on another rack. A method of sorting and carrying out tires, which is characterized by including.
