Definitions
- the invention relates to an integrated in a product conveyor line buffer for receiving according to the
- Packaging machines are mainly by means of
- Packaging line can be increased because then at a correct Dimensioning (size of the buffer) no overflow should occur.
- the overall performance of the packaging plant should be at least 20% greater than the production output.
- Downstream packaging machines are increased depending on the storage level.
- the higher the filling level of the storage the faster the packaging machines can be charged with product from the storage.
- an impending overfilling of the memory can be counteracted at an early stage. Typically, such is one
- Such a buffer works according to the "first in first out” (FIFO) principle, which is usually required for the handling of unpackaged foodstuffs, whereby the buffer is functional in the production flow
- Vertical storage which exploit the height of the room and require a small footprint.
- These vertical storages each have one endless chain running synchronously on each side of the conveying path in a frame, with product carriers being arranged transversely to the conveying direction between the two chains.
- the endless chain pair runs in vertical loops over fixed upper and lower deflections, which are fixed in the frame
- Chain loops are vertically movable carriages with
- the chain pair is uniformly equipped with driving pins, in which product carrier gondolas are mounted rotatably on all sides. These gondolas usually have four to six flat product carriers or trays, on the enema of the intermediate store the product lines can be loaded cyclically in the frontal direction mostly.
- the stored product rows are through the upper portion of the cache to its outlet
- the transport through the memory is intermittent, synchronized with the clock rate of the product lines on the incoming main band.
- Pass line in the upper part of the buffer is filled with product lines, can be started with the cyclical discharge of the product lines in the outlet of the buffer.
- a discharge drive of the intermediate storage moves the pair of chains equipped with product carrier gondolas in the downward direction towards the discharge plane.
- the outlet drive of the buffer is synchronized with the
- Packaging speed which, as previously described, is controlled according to the level of the buffer.
- the invention has for its object to overcome this drawback of the known cache.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a
- Fig. 2 is a side view of that shown in Fig. 1
- two endless belts 2 circulating on both sides of the conveying path are arranged in two known per se in two vertical loops, one inlet-soapy or front loop 3 and one outlet-side or rear loop 4.
- the upper ends of the front chain loops pass over deflections which are arranged on vertically displaceable front carriages 5. Accordingly, run the upper ends of the rear chain loops over deflections on the rear vertically displaceable carriage 6.
- Deflections are designed, for example, as sprockets. These vertically slidable pairs of sleds and
- Chain deflectors are mechanically connected to each other with a cross member.
- the guide profiles are vertical arranged and integrated in the frame. On each side is the front with the rear vertically displaceable
- the tension elements can be as chain, rope or
- Toothed belt are running and are deflected in the upper frame frame via two pulleys 9 and fixed centrally on both sides of the carriage.
- Chain loops with the rear chain loops can be moved vertically in opposite directions.
- the front chain loops When the front chain loops are extended vertically upwards, the rear chain loops shorten vertically downwards by the same length and vice versa.
- the front lower shaft serves as a drive shaft 10 and is driven as an intake drive with a servo motor 11.
- the middle lower shaft serves as a discharge drive 12 of the buffer and is also driven by a servo motor 13.
- the rear lower shaft serves as a clamping shaft 14 for the endless circulating chain pair.
- this shaft is positioned vertically downwards in the vertical direction via a pair of threaded spindle mechanisms 15 in order to clamp the chain pairs in a defined manner.
- the endless chain pair is in a conventional manner
- Infeed drive 10 moves the chain of the front chain loop cyclically vertically upwards, synchronized with the frontal supplied series output.
- the product lines could also Laterally tendered and then inserted in the frontal direction.
- the product carrier gondolas filled with product lines are moved upwards over the front vertically displaceable
- Discharge level There is the product outlet, and the products are pushed with a known pusher on the Quunterstrageband 21. On this they reach in lateral direction, possibly via downstream
- Gap locking tapes to the packaging machine.
- the buffer can continue to accommodate product lines. For this, the front are displaceable when storing
- Chain deflectors are moved upwards in the vertical direction, i. the front loop is extended upwards.
- Product carrier gondolas from the rear loop are available. In the front loop are always filled with product product carrier gondolas and in the rear loop always the emptied product carrier gondolas. If the inlet capacity and outlet capacity are the same, the front filled and the rear empty loop do not change their position. Only a speed difference between inlet performance and outlet capacity leads to a
- Outlet performance of the cache is filled. This leads to an extension of the front loop up and to a shortening of the rear loop down. If the inlet capacity is less than the outlet capacity, then the tank is emptied and the front loop goes down shortened and the rear loop extended accordingly.
- the fill level of the buffer can be determined.
- the speed of the packaging machines is regulated via setpoint input. The higher the level, the faster the downstream packaging machines run. This can be an overcrowding of
- a main advantage of the inventive buffer is the very small minimum filling.
- the minimum fill is the amount of product lines needed to fill the distance from the inlet to the outlet of the buffer. In the present case, this is only the distance from the inlet level via the front chain deflection and back to the outlet plane, i. only about 30 product lines. This is about ten times less than with known ones
- the deflection diameter can be comparatively large dimensioned, without greater influence on the outer dimensions. Due to the large deflection diameter, the filled
- the new cache only about half. Since cleaning time is also dead time, in which can not be produced, the new cache also contributes here in addition to a significant increase in efficiency.
