Abstract

Provided is a stacking device that stacks shaped steel with small-scale equipment using a transporting means with a simple structure. This shaped steel stacking device comprises: a stacking platform on which stacked shaped steel is loaded; a transporting platform that has a plurality of loading faces on which the shaped steel to be transported to the stacking platform is loaded; and a pushing means that pushes the shaped steel loaded on the transporting platform out toward the stacking platform. The transporting platform comprises a first loading face having a flat portion and a second loading face having a flat portion and an inclined portion. The inclined portion is formed on a side facing the stacking platform, and the first and second loading faces can be selected according to the order the shaped steel is pushed out.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A stacking device for stacking a plurality of shaped steel products having a flange, comprising:
a stacking platform to be loaded with the shaped steel products in a stacked manner;
a transferring platform having multiple loading surfaces to be loaded with at least one of the shaped steel products to be transferred to the stacking platform; and
a pusher for pushing the at least one of the shaped steel products loaded on the transferring platform toward the stacking platform,
wherein
the transferring platform is a rotating body rotatable around a pushing direction along which the pusher pushes, and comprises on its circumference a first loading surface having a flat portion and a second loading surface having a flat portion and an inclined portion, the flat portion and the inclined portion being formed along the pushing direction,
the inclined portion being formed at an end of the transferring platform proximate to the stacking platform, and
the first and second loading surfaces being arranged so as to be selectable according to an order in which the shaped steel products are pushed, and
the second loading surface is arranged so that the height level of the inclined portion at the end of the transferring platform proximate to the stacking platform is arranged at or above the thickness of the flange of the at least one of the shaped steel products loaded on the stacking platform as compared with the height of the stacking platform, and
the first loading surface is arranged so that the height level of the flat portion at the end of the transferring platform proximate to the stacking platform is arranged at or below the thickness of the flange of the at least one of the shaped steel products loaded on the stacking platform as compared with the height of the stacking platform.

2. The stacking device for stacking shaped steel products according to claim 1 , wherein the order in which the shaped steel products are pushed includes a plurality of odd-numbered shaped steel products and a plurality of even-numbered shaped steel products; the first loading surface is selected when one of the plurality of odd-numbered shaped steel products is transferred, and the second loading surface is selected when one of the even-numbered shaped steel products is transferred.

3. The stacking device for stacking shaped steel products according to claim 1 , wherein the transferring platform is a rotating body comprising a plurality of the first loading surfaces and second loading surfaces.

4. The stacking device for stacking shaped steel products according to claim 1 , wherein an intervening member is provided between the stacking platform and the transferring platform.
