Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for moving products from a loading station to an unloading station.
  • the carrier concerned is pushed against the movable block with relatively high force. It is possible to reduce this force by reducing the grip between belt or chain and carrier, but this results in a less reliable transport when the operating means, that is to say the block, is not active.
  • This disadvantage is greater if the front carrier of a series of carriers is restrained and the following carriers are blocked by this. Whenever a new carrier is blocked, a further frictional force is transferred to the front carrier and the force on the block increases.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a device for moving products which has a continuously operating drive and by means of which carriers are able to move with the drive or are able to remain stationary with respect to the drive, in a simple and guaranteed manner.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to limit the forces exerted on the carriers when the latter are stationary.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to limit the forces exerted on the front carrier of a series of carriers when stationary.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a construction by means of which it is possible to ensure that no movement in the direction opposed to the direction of transport can take place when the carrier is stationary.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a construction by means of which accurate movement of the carrier together with the drive can be ensured without slip occurring.
  • a device for moving products from a loading station to an unloading station comprising a multiplicity of carriers for said containers for said products, as well as a transport device for moving said containers between said loading station and said unloading station and vice versa, which transport device comprises a frame, a drive, circulating therein, for said carriers, guide means for said carriers and engagement means for bringing said carriers into engagement with said drive, wherein said drive is provided with recesses and said carrier is provided with an engagement member that extends into said recesses, operating means being present in order to move said engagement member out of the recesses.
  • the present invention relates to a device for moving products from a loading station to an unloading station, comprising a multiplicity of carriers for said containers for said products, as well as a transport device for moving said containers between said loading station and said unloading station and vice versa, which transport device comprises a frame, a drive, circulating therein, for said carriers, guide means for said carriers and engagement means for bringing said carriers into engagement with said drive, wherein said carrier is provided with a toothed wheel that can rotate in the direction of transport and locks in a direction opposed thereto, which toothed wheel meshes with a set of teeth provided on the frame.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross-section along the line 11 - 11 in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows detail A from FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows the detail according to FIG. 3 with two carriers
  • FIG. 5 shows the device according to the present invention in cross-section
  • FIG. 6 shows the device according to the present invention in cross-section.
  • the device according to the present invention is shown by 1 in the figures.
  • This device consists of a large number of carriers 2 on which containers 3 are fitted for containing products.
  • the direction of transport of device 1 is indicated by arrow 12 .
  • Transport takes place from a loading station to an unloading station. With this arrangement it is possible for a number of carriers to accumulate at the loading station and/or unloading station and for a number of products to be placed in the containers, or removed therefrom, at the same time.
  • a continuously circulating toothed belt 16 is present.
  • This belt rests on a support 15 fixed to frame 32 of the device 1 .
  • wheels 18 (only one is shown in FIG. 2) located some distance apart, around which toothed belt 16 is wrapped.
  • One of the wheels 18 serves for the drive. This is shown in detail in FIG. 6.
  • Shaft 21 is driven via motor 19 and reduction gear 20 .
  • Shaft 21 is firmly fixed to wheel 18 .
  • Each of the carriers 2 is provided with two shafts located some distance apart.
  • a first shaft 30 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and is provided close to the ends with bearings 8 , 9 which run in guides 10 , 11 of frame 32 .
  • This shaft 30 also serves as hinge pin for a locking pawl 4 , whilst freewheel 29 is also fixed thereto.
  • Shaft 30 is fitted on carrier 2 such that it cannot turn.
  • Freewheel 29 is provided with a freewheel clutch 31 .
  • the second shaft of carrier 2 consists of two stubs 13 , 14 (FIG. 6 a ), both provided with bearings. Like shaft 30 , these run in guides 10 and 11 . In this way it is ensured that the carrier 2 describes a predetermined path some distance away from the toothed belt 16 .
  • a locking pawl 4 is hingeably connected to carrier 2 .
  • the free end thereof is pushed into the cavities in toothed belt 16 by means of a spring 6 . Consequently, when the toothed belt 16 is moved in the direction of arrow 12 the carriers 2 will move in the same direction.
  • Locking pawl 4 is also provided with a tab 7 .
  • the free end of carrier 2 can be moved out of the toothing of toothed belt 16 by operating this tab 7 . This is shown in FIG. 3.
  • Tab 7 can be lifted under the influence of cylinder 28 , which is firmly connected to the frame 32 , as a result of which locking pawl 4 is freed from the toothed belt 16 .
  • the toothed belt 16 can continue to move whilst it is ensured that the carrier 2 is stationary.
  • an auxiliary arm 24 is also hingeably connected at 25 to locking pawl 4 .
  • the free end of auxiliary arm 24 is provided with a pin 26 that runs in a groove 27 in the frame 32 .
  • toothed belt 36 In addition to the circulating toothed belt 16 there is a further toothed belt 36 that is fitted such that it is stationary and extends parallel to toothed belt 16 . As can be seen from FIG. 6, wheel 17 is also fitted such that it is stationary. This is achieved by the presence of bearings mounted on the rotary shaft 21 . Freewheel 29 turns around shaft 30 .
  • the freewheel clutch 31 is constructed such that backward movement cannot take place. That is to say, if carrier 2 becomes stationary, for example as a result of operation of cylinder 28 , there is no risk that this carrier will move backwards. After all, freewheel 29 in engagement with stationary belt 36 prevents such mutual rotation.
  • operation of the locking pawl 4 can take place in any way that can be envisaged in the prior art. Operation can take place by means of a part that is stationary with respect to the frame, but it is also possible to fit operating means on the carrier. After all, as a result of the present invention it is no longer necessary actively to restrain carrier 2 after decoupling of locking pawl 4 , as was the case in the state of the art with the construction using slip.
  • Detection of the various carriers can be carried out by any method known in the state of the art, such as by means of light. It will be understood that instead of a toothed belt it is also possible to use a chain or the like. These and further modifications fall within the scope of those skilled in the art after reading the above description and within the scope of the appended claims.
