Abstract

A diverter for a transferring conveyor comprises a carrier module. The carrier module is provided which includes the first and second transfer roll groups, a rotation drive part, elastic support portions and a turning variable part. At least one carrier module is disposed on a conveyor according to a package transfer direction to turn the plurality of transfer rolls using the turning motor so as to change a transfer direction of a package.

Claims (20)

1. A diverter for a transferring conveyor, comprising a carrier module including:

first and second transfer roll groups including a plurality of transfer rolls rotatably assembled to first assembly holes of roll brackets;

a rotation drive part which includes

a rotation drive shaft having a predetermined length and an outer circumferential surface circumscribed to the transfer rolls of the first and second transfer roll groups, which are disposed at both left and right sides of the rotation drive shaft, and

a rotating motor connected to one end of the rotation drive shaft through a power transmission part to rotate the transfer rolls of the first and second transfer roll groups; and

a turning variable part which includes

a horizontal fixed plate rotatably supporting a plurality of vertical rotation pins extending from block bodies, which are coupled to second assembly holes of the roll brackets using hinge shafts,

first and second upper gears provided on the plurality of vertical rotation pins corresponding to the plurality of transfer rolls of the first and second transfer roll groups disposed along the rotation drive shaft,

first and second lower gears rotatably supporting first and second connection gears, which are disposed between and gear-coupled to the first and second upper gears adjacent to each other along the rotation drive shaft, on the horizontal fixed plate and disposed on lower end portions of a pair of the vertical rotation pins corresponding to a pair of transfer rolls which are selected from the plurality of transfer rolls of the first and second transfer roll groups, adjacent to each other, and disposed with the rotation drive shaft interposed therebetween, and

a turning motor configured to rotate drive gears gear-coupled to the first and second lower gears in a normal or reverse direction, and to simultaneously turn the transfer rolls of the first and second transfer roll groups by a predetermined angle,

wherein the drive gears include

a first drive gear having an outer diameter which is simultaneously gear-coupled to the first and second lower gears and rotates the first and second lower gears in one direction, and

a second drive gear provided on a drive shaft of the turning motor and gear-coupled to the first drive gear and having a size smaller than the outer diameter of the first drive gear,

wherein the first drive gear is assembled to a gear shaft rotatably supported by a connection hole formed to pass through the horizontal fixed plate,

wherein the pair of the vertical rotation pins are assembled with the drive gears located under the horizontal fixed plate and the first and second lower gears engaged with each other, and the pair of the vertical rotation pins extend longer than vertical rotation pins that are not assembled with the first and second lower gears, and

wherein at least one carrier module is disposed on a conveyor according to a package transfer direction to turn the plurality of transfer rolls using the turning motor so as to change a transfer direction of a package.

2. The diverter of claim 1 , the carrier module comprising elastic support portions elastically support the transfer rolls toward the rotation drive shaft, wherein the elastic support portions include elastic members including lower ends restricted by extension bars extending outward from the block bodies and upper ends restricted by protruding portions extending outward from the roll brackets.

3. The diverter of claim 1 , wherein:

the carrier module includes a module box having an inner space accommodating the first and second transfer roll groups, the rotation drive part, and the turning variable part, and a bottom plate which seals an open lower portion of the module box; and

the turning motor is perpendicular to and fixedly installed on a motor fixing bracket fixedly installed on the bottom plate to connect the second drive gear of the drive gears exposed under the horizontal fixed plate and the drive shaft.
