Definitions
- the invention relates to a distribution device for piece goods within a conveyor system of a material flow system with at least two linear conveyors parallel to one another at a defined distance and a device associated with at least one linear conveyor for laterally deflecting the piece goods from its conveying direction and a device provided between two linear conveyors for transferring the piece goods an adjacent linear conveyor.
- the invention is concerned with horizontal distribution or transfer devices, the task of which is to transport a transported on a linear conveyor piece goods to any other destinations, which are adjacent to the conveying path of Zu artux.
- Transfer devices allow the general cargo leaving the Zuschumble and the incorporation into a Ab current zone in various ways with a variety of components and structures.
- a known solution provides to provide a chute between two parallel belt conveyors in the region of the deflection device, to which the piece goods are deflected and fed to a subsequent transverse belt conveyor, which conveys it to the adjacent belt conveyor via a further rising transverse belt conveyor.
- This known solution requires a lot of space between the parallel conveyors and is also very complicated because of the required cross belt conveyor and the slide. Since the chute requires a corresponding slope to discharge the cargo, inevitably have the subsequent cross belt conveyors have a corresponding slope to allow the transport to the higher lying adjacent belt conveyor. There The slope can not be chosen arbitrarily large, a significant distance between the conveyors is required, which often leads to space problems in the system.
- the means for lateral rejection e.g. Doubling arms for the piece goods are doubled, since each deflector interacts with one of the distributors.
- a generic distribution conveyor has become known from the US patent 5, 655, 643, wherein the distributing conveyor consists of a feed line and three Ab healthiern.
- One of the discharge lines corresponds to the extension of the Zu occasionumble.
- Laterally next to the conveyor line are mounted in the region of the conveying plane of Zu effortumbleux controlled swiveling Abweisarme, which are motorized from its rest position next to the Zu occasionumble in their operative position transverse to the conveyor in which they direct the transported on the conveyor piece goods on one of the lateral Ab technicaluxn.
- the arms are provided at both ends, each with a vertically rotating guide roller, of which at least one is driven, is guided around which an endless, substantially oriented in a vertical plane deflection.
- the direction of rotation of the deflection belt corresponds to the direction in which the cargo is to be deflected, so that the cargo is deflected by means of this deflecting belt - transversely to the original conveying direction of the Zu occasionumbleux - towards the conveyor of Ab lakeumbleux as long as the Abweisarm remains in a pivoted operative position.
- a similar solution is described in US Patent 3,093,236, with the difference that there are two, also about vertically oriented guide rollers endlessly circulating deflection bands are moved from a rest position on both sides of the Zu occasionumble to this in an operative position where the Ablenkb was a barrier for form the piece goods to deflect this laterally on the discharge line.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a distribution device for piece goods within a horizontal conveyor system, in which the use of the known principle of the piece laterally ausschleusenden deflector, a very simple and very effective solution for the transfer of the piece goods is created, the very little Space between the adjacent conveyors needed, but still allows a safe and quick transfer.
- the means for transferring the deflected piece goods is designed as horizontally transverse to the linear conveyors endless conveyor, which protrudes with its the unit load under cross conveyor surface on the conveying plane of the linear conveyor upwards.
- the endless conveyor is designed as a drum driven to rotate about its longitudinal axis, which is rotatably mounted about a horizontally extending axis oriented between the linear conveyors in the longitudinal direction and which bridges the gap between two adjacent linear conveyors.
- the drum projects beyond the plane formed by at least one, preferably both, conveying planes of the adjacent linear conveyors. In this way, even with lying in a common plane linear conveyors can be dispensed with the known slides and conveyor belts.
- drum is cylindrical or slightly conical, in the latter case also conveyors can be connected to each other, which are not arranged exactly parallel to each other.
- a slip-resistant coating In order to ensure safe entrainment of the piece goods by the endless conveyor, is provided according to a further feature of the invention, to provide the conveying surface of the endless conveyor with a slip-resistant coating.
- This can be made of a rubber or rubbery Made of plastic or created by roughening the surface of the endless conveyor.
- the means for laterally deflecting the piece good from at least one in the region of the conveying plane of the linear conveyor controlled about a vertical axis einschwenkbaren Abweisarm, the motor from its rest position next to and parallel to the Zu occasionux is pivotable transversely to the conveyor in an operative position.
- each Abweisarm is provided at both ends, each with a vertically encircling guide roller, which is guided around an endless driven, oriented substantially in a vertical plane deflection.
- the deflector deflects the cargo safely from its original conveying direction and transfers the cargo in the transverse direction so far that it comes to lie with its underside on the endless conveyor.
- two deflecting arms can be swiveled from their rest position on both sides of the linear conveyor transversely to this into an operative position in which the deflection belts of the deflecting arms driven in the same direction form an aligned barrier for the piece goods deflectable laterally onto the discharge conveyor.
- a centrally mounted between the two adjacent linear conveyors Abweisarm has the particular advantage that it forms either with one of the two on the opposite sides of the adjacent linear conveyor Abschreibarme each a barrier on one of the two linear conveyors. Furthermore, it is proposed to make at least the direction of the driven deflection belt of the centrally mounted between the adjacent linear conveyors Abschreibarmes reversible. In this way, both linear conveyors can be operated with one Abweisarm.
- the Abweisarm In order to avoid a collision of Abweisarm and endless conveyor, the Abweisarm is pivotable at a small distance over the endless conveyor away.
- the generic distribution device for piece goods is substantially improved.
- the proposed endless conveyor especially if it is designed as a drum, requires very little space between two adjacent linear conveyors and still allows a functionally reliable and fast transfer of the piece goods from one of the linear conveyor to the other.
- the invention is particularly advantageous in cooperation with known pivotable Abweisarmen applicable whose vertically rotating conveyor belt transported the cargo at least as far as the endless conveyor, that it can be grasped by this and handed over to the parallel linear conveyor.
- FIG. 1 shows the distribution device according to the invention in the
- Figure 3 shows the top view of a distribution device according to the prior art
- FIG. 3 shows a generic distribution device according to the prior art; discernible are the two linear conveyors 1 and 2, whose conveying direction is indicated by the arrows 3a and 3b.
- a not shown in the drawing figure 3 cargo is transported for example on the conveyor 2 in the direction of arrow 3c and thereby deflected by the pivoting about vertical pivot axes 4 via the linear conveyor 2 Abweisarmen 5a and 5b, wherein the pivot arms 5a, 5b an aligned Abweis configuration for form the piece goods.
- each Abweisarmes 5a, 5b arranged pulleys around which a perpendicular to the linear conveyor 2 circulating deflection belt is guided, the direction of rotation on the piece goods facing side of the Abweisraum transverse to the linear conveyor 2 corresponds.
- a designated 6 slide is provided which receives the coming of the linear conveyor 2 piece goods with a larger opening angle and emits downwards on the cross conveyor 7 in consequence of the gravity.
- the cross conveyor 7 is already arranged slightly rising in the direction of the linear conveyor 1 and usually consists of an endlessly circulating conveyor belt.
- the conveyor 7 is followed by another in the direction of the linear conveyor 1 rising conveyor 8, whose the linear conveyor 1 facing the end slightly above the
- Transport plane of the linear conveyor 1 ends. In this way, the piece goods can be transferred from the conveyor 8 to the linear conveyor 1 for further transport in the transport direction 3a.
- Conveyor 7 and 8 must be raised again. It can also be seen in FIG. 4 that the end of the conveyor 8 terminates slightly above the transport plane of the linear conveyor 2, so that the piece goods can be handed over without problems, without getting caught laterally on the belt.
- the pivot arms 5a, 5b are, as shown in phantom in the lower half of the drawing, from a rest position parallel to the linear conveyor 1 and 2 in the pivoting position shown in the upper half of the drawing, in which the arms 5a, 5b are aligned with each other pivot.
- the piece goods as indicated by the arrow 11, are deflected so that it reaches at least a portion of its underside on the endless conveyor, the drum 10.
- the drum 10 is drivable in the direction of arrow 12 and transports the piece goods by Reibmitglazed its bottom on the linear conveyor 2, where it is transported away in the direction of arrow 3b.
- FIG. 2 the situation shown schematically in Figure 1 is drawn in cross section, wherein a piece goods 14, in the example a suitcase, is shown in the beginning of the transfer process. Visible, the deflecting arms 5a, 5b are pivoted in alignment with each other around the dash-dotted lines shown vertical pivot axes 4.
- the linear conveyor 1 has transported a general cargo, which passes through the vertically encircling
- the endlessly circulating deflection band of the two deflecting arms 5a, 5b is driven in the direction of arrow 13 (FIG. 1), the direction of rotation of the drum 10 is changed opposite to the arrow direction 12 shown in FIG. 1, the arm 5b above the linear conveyor 1 is pivoted back into its rest position in which the arm 5b is located laterally next to the linear conveyor 1.
- the drum 10 may be designed for larger distances of the linear conveyor 1 and 2 as a short conveyor belt, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
