Abstract
A plurality of baths for dipping and the like is arranged in series so that these baths contact one another, and a conveyor 2 is linearly arranged above the dipping bath in one plane. A workpiece 1 is tact-conveyed on the conveyor 2 in a floor conveyor position. The workpiece 1 is stopped at each bath for dipping and the like, wherein when the workpiece 1 is rotated horizontally about 180° to change its position to an overhead conveyor position, it is immersed in the corresponding bath for dipping and the like for dipping treatment.
Claims15
An apparatus for a dipping treatment having a conveyor disposed above a treatment bath for dipping and designed to cause a workpiece conveyed by the conveyor to be immersed in and emerge from the treatment bath for dipping, wherein the workpiece is supported above the conveyor through a carrier, and the carrier is swung through an angle of approximately 180 degrees through the treatment bath for dipping in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the conveyor to cause the workpiece to be immersed in and emerge from the treatment bath for dipping.
A dipping treatment method for a workpiece being provided above a treatment bath for dipping, conveyed by a conveyor and immersed and emerge from the treatment bath, comprising the steps of:
- supporting and moving a workpiece above the conveyor through a carrier;
- stopping the carrier above a treatment bath;
- and
- swinging the carrier through an angle of approximately 180 degrees through the treatment bath for dipping in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the conveyor to cause the workpiece to be immersed and to emerge from the treatment bath for dipping.
An apparatus for treating and conveying different kinds of workpieces in a mixed condition to a treating section, wherein:
- the apparatus is provided with a corresponding exclusive treating section having dipping baths on each side of a conveyor for each different kind of workpiece;
- the workpiece on the conveyor can be horizontally rotated selectively, either to the right or left side in a direction of travel of the conveyor, corresponding to the treating section;
- and the apparatus is constituted to treat each workpiece.
An apparatus for treating and conveying different kinds of workpieces in a mixed condition to a treating section, wherein said apparatus is provided with a corresponding exclusive treating section having dipping baths on each side of a conveyor for each different kind of workpiece, and the apparatus is adapted to allow the workpiece on the conveyor to be horizontally rotated through an angle of approximately 180 degrees selectively to the right or left side in a direction of travel corresponding to the treating conditions so as to treat the workpiece at either the right or left exclusive treating sections or to pass the workpiece without rotating horizontally when treating conditions are not suitable for either of the exclusive treating sections.
A dipping treatment method for different kinds of workpieces in a mixed condition, comprising the steps of:
- supporting different kind of workpieces above a conveyor;
- moving the workpieces on the conveyor to a treatment bath;
- stopping a workpiece above the treatment bath;
- and
- rotating the workpiece on the conveyor through an angle of approximately 180 degrees selectively either to the right or left side substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the conveyor to treat each workpiece in accordance with the treating condition.
