Definitions
- the invention relates to an intermediate store according to the preamble of claim 1 .
- Buffers are used to decouple processes and increase efficiency in production lines, for example in the food industry.
- the piece goods produced in rows are taken over by a furnace or a casting plant with a wide main belt and are to be fed to the packaging plant over the shortest route.
- These are typically biscuits, chocolate bars or chocolate bars.
- a packaging line consists of several packaging machines connected in series, such as a tubular packing machine in the first place, a multipack machine in the second place, a cartoner in the third place and finally a palletizer.
- the installed packaging output must be greater than the production output. In general, this overhang is at least 20%. If the buffer fill level increases as a result of Stops in the packaging, then the packaging machines can be fed with product from the storage at a higher speed as soon as it is available again. As a rule, the filling level of the buffer is linked to the packaging speed. In this way, an imminent overfilling of the storage tank can be counteracted at an early stage.
- Intermediate stores of this type are known from the prior art, which receive the rows of products coming from production in so-called product carrier gondolas at their inlet and then transport them via a storage area to their outlet. Stops of the packaging lines can then be buffered for a certain time in the accumulation area without product rows being lost.
- the buffer time is also referred to as the storage capacity. This is usually between 3 and 20 minutes.
- These buffers always have a stowage area for the product carrier gondolas filled with product, as well as a stowage area for the empty product carrier gondolas.
- the storage area for the filled product carrier gondolas can be located above or below the infeed and outfeed levels. The same applies to the storage area for the empty product carrier gondolas. Here, too, the storage area can be below or above the inlet and outlet levels.
- the product carrier gondolas circulate through the intermediate store and are filled with rows of products at the inlet and emptied at the outlet of the intermediate store.
- One storage area is always below the entry and exit levels and the other storage area is always above the entry and exit levels, with the definition of the storage areas always being different, ie. H . either filled or empty .
- the buffer takes over the product rows arriving in rows in the infeed frontally from a main conveyor by means of product carrier gondolas.
- the product carrier gondolas consist of vertically spaced product carrier trays that can hold the product rows.
- the number of product carrier trays per gondola is arbitrary, but is usually between 12 and 20 trays. That depends on the height of the products.
- the span of the product carrier trays is also an important factor here, since the stability of the tray depends on its thickness (height).
- the rows of products are fed at a minimum speed via the main conveyor.
- the product rows coming from production can then slide safely onto the product carrier trays using the available kinetic energy. A separate slot is not required.
- the product carrier gondolas are suspended from a pair of chains and are thereby accelerated and decelerated by the infeed drive of the intermediate store in such a way that an empty product carrier tray can always be made available on the infeed level in good time.
- the filled product carrier trays are moved vertically upwards and transferred to the product-filled storage area of the buffer. In the process, empty product carrier gondolas are always moved from the lower empty area of the intermediate store towards the infeed level.
- the servo-controlled chain drive in the storage outlet positions the chain cyclically downwards so that a product carrier tray filled with product is always available on the respective extension level at the right time. If two extension levels are arranged, the product carrier gondolas are always moved down by two product carrier trays in cycles in order to always have new product rows ready for the extension levels at the right time. If only one extension level is active, then the Product carrier gondolas moved cyclically by a product carrier tray down.
- a servo-controlled ejector for each packaging line is arranged in the outfeed area of the buffer store at the height of the respective ejector level.
- the ejector pushes the row of products through the gondola so that they are positioned centrally on the respective discharge belt.
- the rows of products are then conveyed on both extension levels at synchronous speeds in a lateral direction to the packaging lines.
- the discharge belts When the discharge belts are free, they are stopped. The ejectors can then push the next rows of products from the store. The extension creates a gap to the preceding product line. The product row that follows can be closed at higher speed by means of belts downstream of the discharge belt.
- the packaging lines always require a continuous, uninterrupted flow of products at the transfer point. If the lower extension level is stopped, the chain drive in the outlet of the store has to position the chain with the product carrier gondolas in the opposite direction upwards onto the upper extension level that is still active, so that the product row that was actually ready for the lower extension level can then move over the upper extension level can be fed to the connected packaging line.
- This type of temporary storage with the two storage areas arranged vertically one above the other has a reduced overall height and is mostly used in low room heights.
- a typical overall height of such an intermediate store is between 3m and 4m. That puts you in the high range low production rooms in the food sector. This feature is mostly found in older multi - storey factories .
- each outlet can be served with product rows from a storage area of filled product carrier gondolas.
- These buffer outlets arranged one behind the other then supply product to the respective downstream packaging lines without gaps and continuously. This achieves the highest possible level of ef fi ciency, since no products are lost when the packaging lines stop and the packaging machines can be supplied with the required quantity of product from a product supply at any time.
- the invention is based on the object of proposing a solution that retains the described advantages of this type of intermediate store without impairing the accessibility of the line. According to the invention this is achieved by a
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an intermediate store according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the buffer
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the intermediate store without frame and housing parts
- Fig. 4 shows a schematic representation of an extended cache
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the extended buffer.
- the circulation of the filled and empty product carrier gondolas 1 is arranged differently than is usual in known intermediate stores.
- the accumulation sections of the filled and emptied product carrier gondolas are arranged one above the other and overhead.
- overhead expresses the fact that the accumulation sections are arranged at such a height that it is possible to walk through them and, if necessary, also drive through them.
- the filled gondolas pass through a hori zontal accumulation section 2 in the main conveying direction from the inlet area 3 to the outlet area 4 of the store .
- the emptied gondolas run through a horizontal accumulation section 5 against the main conveying direction from the outlet area to the inlet area.
- the two storage sections are arranged directly one above the other.
- the returning accumulation section 5 is located above the incoming accumulation section 2 .
- this can also be done in the reverse arrangement, so that the incoming accumulation section is located above the returning accumulation section.
- empty product carrier gondolas are lowered by a lowering device 6 from the accumulation section 5 for empty gondolas in a vertical direction downwards to the infeed level, so that an empty product carrier tray for receiving a product row P is always available at the infeed in good time.
- This lowering device is designed as a chain conveyor with circulating chains 9 arranged in pairs on both sides. These chains are fitted with extended chain bolts which are aligned with one another and sit on the chain at a specified pitch.
- the gondolas are lifted in a vertical direction by the extended chain bolts and are thus suspended centered on the chain conveyor with their own weight. Via an upper deflection, the gondolas are moved vertically downwards in the direction of the infeed level in order to be loaded with rows of products.
- a product carrier gondola If a product carrier gondola is filled, it is moved to a lowest transfer level 7 and then moved in the main conveying direction into a waiting position so that space is made available for the next product carrier gondola coming from above.
- the filled product carrier gondola When the filled product carrier gondola has reached the waiting position, it is moved by a lifting device 8 in the vertical direction to the storage section above and transferred to this storage section.
- This lifting device is also designed as a chain conveyor.
- the on both sides The chains arranged in pairs are circumferential and fitted with extended chain bolts (not shown) which are aligned with one another and sit on the chain at a predetermined pitch.
- the gondolas are lifted in a vertical direction by the extended chain bolts and are thus suspended centered on the chain conveyor with their own weight.
- the gondolas are finally deposited in a vertical direction downwards on the accumulation section of the full gondolas via an upper deflection.
- the accumulation function is made possible by commercially available accumulation roller chain conveyors 10 arranged in pairs on both sides. These accumulation roller chain conveyors transport the filled gondolas from the infeed area of the store to the outfeed area of the store. These are chains equipped with rollers all around.
- the gondolas are equipped on both sides with bearing surfaces 11 with which the gondolas rest on the accumulation rollers of the accumulation roller chain.
- the two accumulation roller chains are supported on a guide profile 12 .
- This guide profile has a central longitudinal groove in which the accumulation rollers, which are also mounted centrally on the chain bolts, are hollow and can rotate freely. As a result, the accumulating rollers can roll under their contact surfaces when the gondolas jam. The resulting dynamic pressure is not high because it is only caused by rolling friction of the accumulation rollers.
- the foremost gondola must always be isolated and separated.
- a disk 13 equipped with cams is arranged on both sides at the end of the accumulation section above the foremost gondola.
- the two discs are mechanically connected to each other via a shaft and driven by a servo motor (not shown). If a cam pair dips into the conveying level, the transfer of the gondolas is blocked. If a gondola is to be separated from the jam, the discs equipped with cams rotate by one cam division and thus release the gondola in question and block the next gondola again. The rotation of the discs provided with cams takes place in cycles.
- a gondola separated from the jam runs onto a fixed stop (not shown) arranged on both sides and is then in a waiting position. From there, the filled gondolas are taken over by a removal device 14 and positioned downwards in the direction of the outlet level into a further waiting position.
- This removal device is designed as a chain conveyor with circulating chains arranged in pairs on both sides. The chains are fitted with extended chain bolts which are aligned with one another and are positioned on the chain at a specified pitch.
- the nacelle which is in the waiting position, is lifted vertically upwards with a pair of bolts coming from below. This means that the nacelle is attached to the bolts on both sides and centered and then moved down over the upper chain deflection towards the extension level into another waiting position.
- the removal device transfers the gondola suspended on the pair of chains to a downstream lowering device 15 and then moves this gondola cyclically in the direction of the extension level 16 in order to always be able to provide a product row for the extension at the right time.
- This lowering device is also designed as a pair of chain conveyors arranged on both sides. The chains are fitted in pairs with extended chain bolts that are aligned with one another and are spaced apart on the chain.
- Discharge belts 17 running transversely to the main conveying direction are arranged in the ejection plane, onto which the product rows are pushed out by means of known ejectors (not shown) to be pushed to be promoted to the packaging facilities.

- Discharge belts 17 running transversely to the main conveying direction are arranged in the ejection plane, onto which the product rows are pushed out by means of known ejectors (not shown) to be pushed to be promoted to the packaging facilities.
- ejectors not shown
- several discharge belts can be arranged one above the other, onto which product rows can be transferred from a corresponding number of product trays at the same time.
- the removal of the filled gondolas from the storage section and the downstream balancing of the gondolas in the area of the extension level is thus carried out by two separate devices.
- the gondolas can be removed from the storage section and transported to the waiting position in one train and is decoupled from the synchronization operation of the lowering device.
- stopping the product ejection as a result of a packaging line stop has no negative impact on the handling of the gondolas in the accumulation section.
- the product rows can be pushed out again from the preceding gondola.
- a subsequent gondola can be transferred from the waiting position from the removal device to the lowering device in good time, so that the product supply for the connected packaging line is secured.
- the emptied gondolas are lowered to a lowest conveying level 17 and then conveyed to a waiting position in the main conveying direction.
- the gondolas can either be ejected for manual removal, or they can be fed to the upper accumulation section of the empty product carrier gondolas by means of a lifting device 18 .
- This lowest conveying level consists of three pairs of chain conveyors 19-21, which are driven independently of one another by three servomotors.
- the gondolas can not only be ejected in a defined manner during operation, but also again to be smuggled in.
- the central chain conveyor 20 and the outlet soapy chain conveyor 21 are designed to be reversible.
- a defined number of empty gondolas can be ejected and clocked for manual removal on the soapy chain conveyor.
- a certain number of empty gondolas can be made available manually on this conveyor so that they can then be automatically reinserted.
- the soapy outlet and the central chain conveyor run in the reverse direction and thus bring gondola by gondola into the correct position so that they can be taken over by the lifting device.
- This lifting device is also designed as a chain conveyor arranged in pairs on both sides. These chains are fitted in pairs with extended chain bolts that are aligned with one another and are spaced apart on the chain. Coming from below, a pair of bolts of this lifting device takes over the empty gondolas and conveys them to the top and then transfers these gondolas to the return of the emptied gondolas, which are then returned in the direction of the inlet.
- a separating device 23 At the end of the accumulation section of the empty gondolas in the infeed area of the store there is also a separating device 23 in the embodiment described above.
- the isolated gondolas are in a waiting position and can, as previously described, be taken over by the lowering device 6 .
- the individual gondolas are coded and can thus be identified by the controller.
- the controller can thus track the gondolas and knows where which gondola is in the memory cycle.
- This coding can be implemented, for example, with a chip that is attached to the nacelle. This chip provides a transponder signal that can be processed by the controller.
- Another advantage of this is that it is possible to select certain gondolas automatically or manually, so that they z. B. are to be discharged at the storage outlet for cleaning or service purposes.
- the gondolas in question can be marked electrically and, in the event of repeated faults, they can be ejected and then inspected. In this way, different diagnostic requirements can also be covered.
- the filling level of the storage tank can be easily determined, the development of the filling level over time can also be displayed on the control panel, etc. All drives of the store are servo-controlled. The position of each gondola in the infeed and outfeed area of the store can be tracked incrementally via the servomotors.
- control cabinet with the control of the accumulator is arranged below at the inlet.
- the control cabinet can thus be integrated and operated in a space-saving manner and is very easily accessible.
- the accumulation sections of the filled and empty product carrier gondolas are subdivided and lengthened, and additional discharge stations are integrated. These discharge stations can then continuously feed one or more discharge levels with product from a pre-storage of filled gondolas with the associated packaging lines.
- the accumulation sections In order to integrate these additional discharge stations into the circulation of the filled and empty gondolas, the accumulation sections have an additional function, because the emptied gondolas cross the two conveying levels of the relevant accumulation sections on the way back up into the return of the emptied gondolas.
- the accumulation sections are equipped with an additional pull-nose function. As a result, the end deflections 24 of
- Accumulation roller chain conveyors in the various accumulation zones retracted horizontally (arrow 25) to create a passage for the vertically cruising gondolas.
- the filled gondolas are then lowered vertically in the lower accumulation zone and the emptied gondolas are moved upwards by the corresponding lifting device into the return of the emptied gondolas. Pulling it back opens the conveying level of the relevant accumulation zone and closing it closes the accumulation section again and the following gondolas can pass through this area again in a horizontal direction.
- the main advantage of the proposed solution is that the inlet and outlet areas of the buffer are easily accessible for operation, service and cleaning. In addition, access to the packaging lines below the buffer and across the main conveying direction is made possible. In addition, the storage tank can be modularly expanded by any number of outlets. This solution makes it possible to feed the products to the various packaging lines without the usual main belts and belt-based discharge stations and also to provide a buffer function for each connected packaging line.
