Stacking device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To accomplish stacking operation even in a narrow working space by a structure wherein a holder, which especially holds a rice bag so as to arrangement-load the rice bag to the predetermined location, is supported by means of a plurality of supporting arms pivotal in a horizontal plane. CONSTITUTION:The three arms 1, 2 and 3 are coupled to one another so as to be able to pivot with coupling points A and B respectively and an sucking body 5 to hold a rice bag 4 is fitted to the tip of the arm 1. Owing to the structure as mentioned above, when a rice bag 4a is carried in by means of a conveyor 14, the sucking body 5 goes down in order to hold the rice bag 4a and, after that, the arms 1, 2 and 3 are rotated horizontally by driving rotating actuators 7, 8, 9 and 10 so as to fit the rice bag 4a in the optimum loading position in a pallet 13 and then the whole arms 1, 2 and 3 are lowered all together by lowering a supporting pole 12 in order to release the sucking of the sucking body 5 onto the pallet 13. In such a manner as described above, the respective pivotings of the three arms 1, 2 and 3 eliminate the necessity of vast working space.
