Delivering apparatus using parallel conveyor system and shipping apparatus employed by the delivering apparatus

Abstract

A delivering apparatus using parallel conveyor system for detecting the positions of works by sensors and delivering the necessary amount of works while many works are allowed to be standby by automatic control wherein the parallel conveyor and a shipping apparatus employed in the delivering apparatus for automatically transferring the works from a multilayer carriage to the parallel conveyor without resorting to the man power. The delivering apparatus comprises the parallel conveyor system comprises one way conveyor composed of a long conveyor and a short conveyor which follows the long conveyor, closing stoppers disposed between the long and short conveyors, an opposite way conveyor which is close to and parallel with one way conveyor, a pushing machine disposed at the side of the short conveyor for pushing and transferring the works, which are transferred from the long conveyor to the short conveyor, to the opposite way conveyor when the short conveyor stops and the closing stoppers close. The shipping apparatus comprises a passage through which a multilayer carriage passes being formed between the one way conveyor and pushing machine, a vertical hole in which the multilayer carriage drop being formed on the passage, a platform on which the multilayer carriage gets being vertically movable in the hole wherein the pushing machine pushes the works successively on each shelf of the multilayer carriage toward the one way conveyor when the platform stops at the position corresponding to the height of each row of shelves and the one way conveyor stops and the platform returns to the original position so that the next multilayer carriage can get on the platform.
