Definitions

  • the invention relates to the drive and the load transfer in a sorting system for piece goods sorting, in which run along a horizontal, preferably self-contained path a plurality of driven in the direction of transport sorter elements, on each of which piece goods completely or over several sorter elements lying from a loading point to a Unloading is transported, where it is loaded or unloaded transversely to the transport direction.
  • Sorting systems for piece goods sorting are generally known, they usually consist of a horizontal or vertical circumferential juxtaposition of sorter elements that carry the sorted cargo to the destination (sorter target).
  • the individual sorter elements can either circulate individually in the manner of rail-guided carriages or be coupled to one another to form a train.
  • the sorter elements move on a self-contained path and are joined together to form an endlessly circulating chain.
  • sorters In the generic sorters, two types of sorters are distinguished in principle, namely crossbelt sorters and tipping socks, which can be used in 2D and / or 3D configurations.
  • the cargo In the Kippschalensortern the cargo is transported on cup-shaped supports which are tiltably mounted on the frame of the sorter elements. The horizontally held during transport support trays are brought in the unloading position by activating a drive in an inclined position, by an in
  • Transport direction aligned horizontal axis, so that the resting piece goods due to the inclination of the support trays laterally from the sorter on an inclined plane or slide passes. From there, the piece goods are transported by gravity or with driven conveyors to a target position.
  • Transverse Sorters consist of one on the frame of the
  • Sorter element arranged conveyor belt which is endlessly guided around two spaced, with respect to their axes of rotation, parallel on both sides to the transport direction guided transport rollers and by driving at least one of the transport rollers or by frictional
  • connection of a drive with the conveyor belt is transverse to the transport direction of the sorter movable.
  • the piece goods lie on the upper run of the conveyor belt, which stands still during transport.
  • the conveyor belt In the unloading position, the conveyor belt is set in motion by the drive of the transport rollers and transports the parcel from the transverse belt to a laterally arranged inclined chute, from where it reaches the target position.
  • a drive for activating both the deflection rollers, as well as the tilting device is required.
  • the drives are activated either electrically or mechanically, for which purpose corresponding devices are provided in the unloading positions.
  • the present invention is concerned both with the drive of the sorter elements in the transport direction and with the drives to be activated for unloading the sorter elements in the unloading positions.
  • sorter elements mainly mechanical drives are used, wherein the sorter elements are provided with rollers, via which the load on the in
  • Transport direction laid rails is removed.
  • the known solutions are disadvantageous because they are subject to high wear, are susceptible to dust and other shelves and also develop heavy noise when circulating.
  • a transmitting device is provided on the entire circulating surface of the sorter elements, which are assigned to several or on all sorter elements arranged receiving devices. About this transmitting and receiving device, a contactless energy transfer is realized, which takes place via electric fields of various forms.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a generic sorting system, which is less sensitive to dust and deposits, which has lower noise emissions and is improved in terms of reliability and maintenance costs over the known solutions.
  • the invention proposes that both the drive and the guidance of the sorter elements without contact and the load transfer of the sorter elements are made floating over a rail track laid along the track.
  • the present invention deliberately dispenses with the previously used roller guide and uses the suspension railway technology known per se in the art for the generic cargo sorting devices.
  • the drive, the guidance and the load transfer of the sorter elements are carried out electromechanically.
  • the invention thus applies the principle of mutual attraction or repulsion of magnetic fields, depending on their pole position, for use. With the forces exerted, objects with magnetic properties can be moved against gravity and other acting forces as long as the force of the magnetic field is greater than the counteracting forces.
  • the invention proposes that for guiding and load removal guiding and supporting magnets are arranged to ride on the sorter elements, which are controlled by an electronic control system so that a constant distance of the sorter element of the mounting rail can be maintained.
  • This allows the invention a permanent, free "floating" and a simultaneous movement with static and unregulated magnetic fields, which is ultimately made possible by the sufficiently fast and efficient dynamic control.
  • a linear motor is used, preferably a synchronous stator linear motor which generates a magnetic traveling field propagating along the carrier rail, which carries along the sorter elements via the guide and / or carrier magnets fixedly arranged on the sorter elements.
  • This linear motor is installed in the track and works in principle like a conventional electric motor whose stator is cut open and stretched below the track.
  • the current of the linear motor generates in the cable windings a magnetic traveling field from which the closed carriage chain is dragged without contact.
  • the supporting magnets act as excitation part (rotor), wherein the transport speed of the sorter elements can be controlled steplessly by changing the frequency of the motor.
  • the frequency and / or the strength of the traveling field generated be changed.
  • the speed of the sorter elements can be regulated steplessly. If you change the direction of force of the traveling field, the engine is the generator and brakes the carriage chain without contact. The resulting braking energy can be used again and fed back as electrical energy.
  • the entire track of the sorter elements is designed as a stator of the linear motor, but of which only the stator coils of that track are turned on, to which are to be moved sorter elements.
  • energy can be saved, since on those Part of the conveyor is drivingly limited, which is actually needed to drive a conveyor element.
  • linear generators are arranged on the sorter elements whose inductively generated energy can be fed to drive sorter elements that are to be electrically activated and / or driven by an electric motor.
  • Linear generators work practically in reverse, like a linear motor, they are suitable, by induction during the
  • This stream can then be introduced into the system, i. into the sorter elements, when the linear generators, as a feature of the invention provides, are integrated in the guiding and / or supporting magnets of the sorter elements.
  • the energy generated in the linear generators can be stored in suitable buffers of the sorter elements.
  • Latches are capable of temporarily absorbing and temporarily releasing energy, for example in the end-loading stations, where the energy can be used to activate the drives for the tilt trays or cross straps.
  • the linear generator uses harmonics of the drive magnetic field for its energy production via electromagnetic induction. These arise due to the grooves of the long stator in which the stator cables are inserted and thereby, seen from the carriage chain, temporal changes in the magnetic conductivity of the magnetic circuits involved.
  • the power generation of the linear generator is thus not on the magnetic field of use, but on side effects, which arise through the grooves of the long stator.
  • the invention has a number of advantages. Due to the non-contact drive and the floating movement of the sorter elements, there is no wear due to friction. By friction resulting fine dust pollution is avoided, a track grinding or milling is no longer required.
  • the drive power is lower than in known systems, since no rolling friction forces must be overcome.
  • the system is insensitive to dust and other deposits, resulting in higher reliability and lower maintenance costs. Particularly noteworthy is the low noise emission compared to conventional wheel / rail technology.
  • the weight of the sorters does not affect point loads, such as the wheel on the rail, but distributed over the entire car body length as a load on the track.
  • Sorter element which is designed in the present case as Quergurtsorter.

  • Sorter element 1 engages around this top-T-shaped support rail 10 on both sides from below with inwardly directed frame parts Ia, in which magnets for supporting and guiding the sorter elements 1 are arranged.
  • the support magnets 9 are arranged so that their magnetic force is directed upward and causes a tightening of the sorter elements 1 against the supporting rail 9 directed downwardly on the support magnet 9. By appropriate control it is ensured that the distance between the support magnet 9 and its guideway is constant.
  • a cross belt 3 is arranged on the upper side of the frame of the sorter element 1, the around two sides of the sorter element 1 mounted and driven pulleys 4 is looped.
  • the axes of rotation 4a of the deflection rollers extend parallel to (perpendicular to the plane of the drawing) to the transport direction, so that thus the transverse belt 3 rotates transversely to the transport direction.
  • On the upper strand of the cross belt 3 is, as shown a piece goods 5, which is held there during transport.
  • the guide roller 4 In the unloading position shown by starting the symbolized motor 6, the guide roller 4 is rotated and causes a circulation of the cross belt 3 in the direction of arrow 7.
  • the cargo moves 5 (in the drawing to the right) on the inclined plane 8, as a chute is formed so that the piece goods are removed from the sorter element 1 and fed to a destination.
  • the carrying magnets 9 cause the sorter element 1 to hover just above the travel path 2 of the support rail 10 without it coming into contact with it.
  • 1 guide magnets 11 are provided laterally on the support rail 10 and the frame of the sorting element, which also regulated so are that a constant distance between the magnets 11 and the guide rail 12 is secured to the support rail 10.
  • linear generators can be formed by additionally integrated into the support magnet 9 cable windings in which contact is induced during operation without contact current that used in the unloading station for activating the drives for the guide rollers 4 becomes. A temporary storage of the regenerated current is recommended, so that the energy can be tapped for unloading the cross straps 3 at short notice.
