STACKING DEVICE

To provide a stacking device capable of continuously and efficiently stacking a plurality of packages composed of boxes or containers having articles such as foods housed therein in a narrow space at a high speed.SOLUTION: A stacking device 1 has: a carry-in part 2; a stack body part 4; a put-out part 6 having a pusher 22; a carry-out part 8; a detection unit 10; and a control unit 12 for controlling operations of the carry-in part, the stack body part, the put-out part, and the carry-out part based on information detected by the detection unit. The stack body part comprises an inlet part 4a, an outlet part 4b, a base part 4c in which the carry-in part is disposed so as to extend in the fore-and-aft longitudinal direction from the inlet part side to the outlet part side, and a plurality of sets of support receiving parts A1 to A21 which are disposed in pairs on both sides in the left-right short direction of the base part and are liftably disposed at intervals in the vertical direction. The first set of support receiving parts A1 rises from a second height position H2 to a third height position H3 and rocks so as to release the support for a plurality of packages B1 to B4 on the first stage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13B 【課題】食品等の物品を収容した箱又は容器からなる複数の包装物を小スペースで高速かつ連続的に効率よく段積みすることができる段積装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の段積装置１は、搬入部２と、段積本体部４と、プッシャ２２を備えた払出部６と、搬出部８と、検知部１０と、この検知部が検知した情報に基づいて搬入部、段積本体部、払出部、及び、搬出部のそれぞれの作動を制御する制御部１２と、を有し、段積本体部は、入口部４ａと、出口部４ｂと、搬入部が入口部側から出口部まで前後長手方向に延びるように配置される基底部４ｃと、この基底部の左右短手方向の両側に対をなして設けられ且つ上下方向に間隔を置いて昇降可能に設けられた複数組の支持受部Ａ１～Ａ２１と、を備えており、第１組の支持受部Ａ１は、第２高さ位置Ｈ２から第３高さ位置Ｈ３まで上昇すると共に第１段目の複数の包装物Ｂ１～Ｂ４に対する支持を解放させるように揺動する。【選択図】図１３Ｂ
