Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for coupling transport elements in relation to the drive mechanism of such transport elements, and for uncoupling them respectively.
- a drive mechanism is mainly referred to continuously moving drive means here, such as an endless drag chain or such
- transport elements is mainly referred to trolleys which are driven by means of said drag chain or such, with the help of a coupling element, such as what is called a drag pen, which can co-operate with the above-mentioned drive means.
- a major disadvantage related to these known drive mechanisms consists in that the uncoupling of the transport element from the drive mechanism, in particular the coupling of the transport element to the above-mentioned drive mechanism, is carried out in a relatively brusque manner, in other words, especially setting the transport element in motion again is always accompanied by a shock in the devices known until now.
- the present invention aims a device for coupling transport elements in relation to their drive mechanism, for uncoupling them respectively, whereby the transport elements, at the time they are being coupled to their drive mechanism, uncoupled respectively, have a speed which is identical to the speed of the drive mechanism, such that this coupling, uncoupling respectively, can always be carried out without any shocks or brusque movements.
- the device according to the invention for coupling transport elements in relation to the drive mechanism for such transport elements, for uncoupling them respectively, whereby these transport elements are equipped with a drag pen which can be moved by the above-mentioned drive mechanism in the shape of a drag chain with protrusions, and whereby this drag pen is guided in a guide, to this aim consists of carriages erected on either side of the above-mentioned guide; means which can move the above-mentioned carriages crosswise in relation to said guide so as to bring the drag pen either outside the track or in the track of the above-mentioned guide; and means which make it possible to gradually speed up a stationary drag pen placed outside the track of the above-mentioned guide, until the speed of the drag pen is equal to the speed of the drag chain, after which this drag pen is put in the track of the drag chain by means of either of the above-mentioned carriages, or to evenly slow down a drag pen in the track of the drag chain, which is taken out of the track of the drag chain
- Figure 1 represents a drag chain 1 whose links are provided with protrusions 2 which can co-operate with what is called a drag pen 3 of a transport element or a trolley 4.
- This drag pen 3 normally moves in a guide 5 provided next to the drag chain 1.
- carriages 6 and 7 respectively are provided on either side of the above-mentioned guide 5, erected at a distance in relation to one another which is equal to the width of the above-mentioned guide 5, so as to form a groove, and which are connected to one another in an appropriate manner under the above-mentioned drag chain 1 and the above-mentioned guide 5.
- the carriages 6 and 7 can move along a guide which is schematically represented by 8.
- carriages 6 and 7 can be moved together in this manner by a suitable drive mechanism 9, for example a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
- the carriage 6 is provided with bevels 10 and 11 respectively towards the side walls.
- the above-mentioned guide 5 is made wider, namely over a width which is almost equal to twice the width of the guide 5, so as to locally form a wider groove 12 which is connected to the actual guide 5 by means of bevels 13 and 14 respectively, whereby these bevels 13 and 14 are preferably parallel to the bevels 10 and 11 of the carriage 6.
- the chain 15 is situated such that the free ends 20 of its protrusions 16 pass at a short distance from the guide 5, in particular in the above-mentioned groove 12.
- the carriages 6 and 7 are situated in their neutral position, in particular the position in which the groove 12 between these carriages 6 and 7 is situated right above and in the extension of the guide 5.
- the chain 15 stands still and the drag chain 1 drives the trolley 4 via the drag pen 3.
- the drag pen 3 can freely move through the groove 12 between the carriages 6 and 7, such that the trolley 4 is still being continuously driven and passes the device 6 to 20 without any hindrance.
- the drag pen 3 of the trolley 4 is provided next to the guide 5 by means of the drag chain 1, and thanks to the presence of the above-mentioned bevel 10, so that this drag pen 3 no longer remains under the impact of the protrusions 16 of the drag chain 1, and so that the trolley 4 gradually comes to a standstill.
- the chain 15 will be driven by the motor 19, until one of the protrusions 16 of the chain 15 makes contact with the drag pen 3 of the stationary trolley 4, after which the speed of the chain 15 is gradually stepped up until the speed of the chain 15 is equal to the speed of the drag chain 1.
- a trolley 4 can be brought to a standstill in a simple manner on the one hand, and such stationary trolley 4 can be driven again without any shocks and without any brusque movements on the other hand.
- Figures 5 to 9 represent a practical embodiment of a device according to the invention whereby figure 5 is represented in the position of the above-mentioned figure 1, whereas figure 9 represents the position corresponding to figure 2, and whereby only the drag pen 3 is represented for clarity's sake.
- the carriages 6 and 7 are connected to one another by means of connecting laths, 21 and 22 respectively, whereas the carriage 7 is connected to the frame of the device according to the invention by means of drawback springs, 23 and 24 respectively.
- a drive means 9 which in this case consists of two of what are called knee levers, 25 and 26 respectively, which are connected to one another by means of a rod 27 which is in turn connected to a suitable drive means, for example a motor reductor 28 with an eccentric shaft.
- the carriage 7 is further provided with grooves 29 which can move along rods 30 during the movement of the carriage 7, as a result of which the carriage 7 can absorb shocks without hindering the movement of the drive means 9.
