Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for sorting of products in which a conveyor line routes products one behind the other and selectively transfers them to receiving points spread over its length.
- Sorting devices of the aforementioned type are at this day widely used in this application at sliced smoked salmon, which varies at the level of means operating the transfer of products at different addresses from the line of distribution.
- the most widespread are a system with deviators or pushers that eject products on the side of the distribution conveyor, as well as a system with succession of conveyor sections swivels which interrupt the conveyor line in bowing up or down.
- This last system as well as other less commonly used are described in WO 95/35238 in the name of the company Danish Scanvaegt A / S.
- the present invention results from a search for overall solution more satisfactory in view of this multiple inconvenience, although remaining simple.
- a product sorting device including a conveyor line for transporting these products one behind the other in order to route selectively to n receiving stations distributed along its length, with n ⁇ 1, characterized in that that said conveying line is a conveyor belt endless, whose band presents a succession openings separated by solid areas suitable for receive products, and in that each receipt includes a product receipt arranged under the transport strand of said band without end, and selectively movable stop means above of said endless band between a position active and an erase position, for selectively stop the products arriving so that they fall in the opening succeeding to the said full area where they are worn to be received on said receiving medium at the corresponding receiving station.
- Said stop means can be shutters or many combs. They move advantageously in vertical translation or pivoting around an axis transverse.
- the band can take the forms more diverse, provided that it is sufficiently slippery for products. It may be a ribbon continuously in a suitable synthetic material such as polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene. It can be also a tray or pallet-mounted belt with alternating voids on chains or belts side.
- the reception supports are advantageously trays such as cardboard boards moved step by step for the realization of batches of entertained.
- said trays can be oriented and not moved stepwise in a given direction: parallel, perpendicular or oblique to the direction of the conveyor of distribution.
- the reception supports can themselves be handled by secondary conveyors, passing between the lower and upper strands of the conveyor distribution. They can then be placed automatically on said secondary conveyors, by unstacking devices mounted at the upstream end of these.
- FIG. 1 it represents a device according to the invention comprising a conveyor of distribution 1 receiving products P one by one in his upstream end to transfer them to a plurality n receiving stations 2 distributed along its length, with moreover the possibility of an additional destination at the output of the conveyor 1, for example for products not having been assigned to one of the receiving stations 2.
- the distribution conveyor 1 is of endless band type, its band 10 presenting in its transport width, and over its entire length, a succession of openings 12 separated from each other by solid areas 11 where are loaded P products.
- the openings 11 have advantageously a substantially rectangular shape and likewise solid areas 11, a longitudinal dimension significantly higher than that of the products P, which are preferably loaded on the band 10 at closer to the front edge of opening 12 lying immediately behind.
- Each reception station 2 comprises a support of receiving 20, arranged under the upper strand of transport 1a of the conveyor 1, and more precisely between upper and lower strands 1b.
- a stop means 3 disposed above he and above the upper strand 1a, which has for function to selectively stop the P products on the strip 10, to slide them on it, then drop in the opening 12 behind.
- the way stop 3 here consists of a flap or comb to displacement in vertical translation. In a variant, erasing the flap or comb can be done any as effectively pivoting around an axis transversal, particularly in applications to thin P products where the amplitude of the pivoting can remain very small.
- supports 20 are most often provided to receive final packaging containers for P products, especially trays, or boards in carton for sliced products such as salmon smoke.
- the layout of products in the receptacles can be obtained by not moving to not the receptacles via the supports 20, in a direction that can be parallel, perpendicular or oblique to the direction conveyor transport 1.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a device according to the invention used for batching a sliced product such as smoked salmon. It includes a conveyor of distribution 1 in all respects identical to that of the Fig. 1, and therefore designated, and its elements, by the same references. It is powered by T slices derived from a means of measurement of the criterion of selection, to which a management unit assigns a destination address based on information detected.
- Each reception station 2 comprises a conveyor secondary 21 passing between the two upper strands 1a and lower 1b of the distribution conveyor 1, to which is associated stop means 3.
- stop means 3 in the active position, are represented by a thick line, the others being in position erasure.
- Each secondary conveyor 21 is equipped in its upstream end of a dispenser or device unstacking 22 which feeds it into cardboard boards C for packaging batches of slices.
- the C boards are brought by the secondary conveyor 21 in position to receive the first slice, and then moved step by step to receive the following, in order to constitute a stepped stack. when lot is complete, the conveyor 21 in advance for transfer on an evacuation conveyor 4.
- the secondary conveyors 21 could be oriented obliquely to the distribution conveyor 1 rather than perpendicular, this possibility being a very simple way to vary the presentations.
