Definitions

  • An apparatus for transporting and working piece goods comprising a driven endless conveyor mechanism and a work station displaceable substantially parallel to the feed direction of said conveying mechanism.
  • the conveying mechanism provides at the region of the work station an infeed section and an outfeed section.
  • Deflecting roller means rotatable by the conveying mechanism serve to rotatably mount the infeed section and the outfeed section.
  • a brake mechanism prevents rotation of at least a deflecting roller means associated with the outfeed section relative to the work station during the time that a working operation is carried out upon one of the piece goods.
  • the present invention relates to a new and improved apparatus for transporting and working so-called piece goods, by means of a driven endless conveyor mechanism and a work station which can follow along and displaceable parallel to the feed direction of the conveying mechanism.
  • the expression working" or processing is intended to convey the concept of a treatment or manipulative operation, in the broadest sense of such term, which is required during the course of manufacturing or otherwise handling such piece goods.
  • the expression working or processing is intended to encompass, among other things, a fonning-, a coatingor covering-, a connectionand/or a packing-operation, following which any one of the properties or characteristics of the piece goods are changed.
  • the expression piece good used both singularly and in the plural, is employed herein for the purpose of only differentiating from loose or bulk materials, and furthermore is intended to designate goods or materials which individually constitute pieces separated from one another and which are similar or the same with respect to their type and dimensions.
  • the proposed type of equipment is, therefore, of the species where the working or processing of a piece good(s) occurs during transportation, in contrast to that basic different type of equipment which possesses stationary work stations with intermediate disposed conveying devices and wherein the piece goods are altematingly transported and worked.
  • a primary object of this invention is to provide equipment which will effectively fill this need.
  • Another, more specific objective of the invention relates to the provision of an apparatus of the aforementioned type which is constructed in such a fashion that the work station forms, for a certain period of time, to a certain extent a component of the conveying mechanism, but still can be displaced with respect to such conveying mechanism, that is to say, can again be displaced to the input side of the conveying mechanism.
  • the proposed apparatus of the present invention is generally manifested by the features that both an infeed section and an outfeed section of the conveying mechanism is associated with the work station and rotatably mounted in deflecting rolls which can be placed into rotation by such conveying mechanism. Furthermore, a brake mechanism is provided in order to prevent rotation of at least the deflecting roll associated with the outfeed or delivery section with respect to the work station during the duration of the working operation, there further being provided a return mechanism for the work station which can be actuated in opposite phase to the brake mechanism.
  • the work station is preferably constructed in the form of a carriage or slide displaceable along a guide track, this guide track extending in the same manner or direction as the conveying mechanism.
  • the carriage or slide functions as a component of the conveying mechanism, that is, moves together with such conveying mechanism, whereas during free rotation of such deflecting roll the return mechanism can displace the carriage or slide opposite to the conveying or feed direction, without considerably impairing the conveying capability of the conveying mechanism.
  • the con-. veying mechanism can be constructed as two separate conveying bands or chains which however are coupled with one another via the work station, one such band or chain constituting the infeed or supply section and the other the outfeed or delivery section. It is, however, also possible to construct the conveying mechanism in the form of a single conveyor or chain arranged and designed such to provide the aforementioned infeed and outfeed sections.
  • the first embodiment exemplifies the use of the inventive equipment at a packaging machine for encasing the aforedefined piece goods in a heat sealable foil, particularly a shrinkage or tight foil. It should however also be clearly understood that the described enclosing of the piece goods only depicts one type of work operation which can be performed with the inventive equipment.
  • Such work procedures can also, as previously explained, be manifested in the form of a forming operation, for instance, a cutting or noncutting metal working, a coating operation, for instance, by means of a fiber layer, a connection operation, for instance, in the form of a threading, riveting or bonding operation, by way of example.

  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a component of the equipment depicted in FIGS. 1 to 4, taken substantially along the line 5-5 of FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 6 and 9 inclusive are schematic front views of the essential components of a modified version of inventive equipment, with certain of the control portions being omitted for the sake of clarity;
  • FIG. 10 is an enlarged sectional view through a component of the equipment depicted in FIGS. 6 to 9, taken substantially along the line 10-10 of FIG. 6 or FIG. 8;

  • the deflecting rolls or rollers 15 and 18 are rotatably secured to a work station 24, designed in the form of a carriage or slide 25, displaceable along guides 26 provided at the machine frame 11. Furthermore, the deflecting rolls 15 and 18 are rigidly connected for rotation with a respective sprocket gear or wheel 27 and 2611 which, in turn, are coupled with one another by a chain 28.
  • the remaining deflecting rolls or rollers 16 and 19 are each mounted by means of a respective resilient support or mounting device 29 and 30 with two free ends of a three-arm rocker beam arrangement 31, possessing the configuration of an inverted T.”
  • This rocker beam arrangement 31 is pivotably mounted at its junction point 32 of the three arms at the machine frame 11 in the manner of a balance beam.
  • the third arm 33 of the rocker beam arrangement 31 is articulated at location 34 with the carriage or slide 25.
  • the hinge joint or connection between the junction point 32 and the hinge point 34 is constructed in such a manner that the length of the arm 33 between both of these points 32, 34 can be freely changed.
  • the arm 33 can be formed of two telescopically displaceable components or, however, can be constructed as a single-piece member which at the same time is lengthwise displaceable at the hinge location 34.
  • a piston rod 36 of a fluid-actuated, typically a pneumatic pistoncylinder arrangement 37 serving as a return mechanism for the carriage or slide 25, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
  • FIG. 5 which for the purpose of clarifying the construction of the roller arrangement 18, has been shown on an enlarged scale, the details of such deflecting roller arrangement 18 will be recognized, about which there has been trained the conveyor band 13 embodying a plurality of belts 131.
  • Deflecting roll 18 is rotatably mounted in side plates 251 and 252 of the carriage 25, which are displaceablc in sliding fashion or by means of nonillustrated wheels upon the guide rails 26.
  • the sprocket gear or wheel 260 which, by referring FIG. 1 and 2, serves to transmit the driving force to the conveyor band 12.
  • a foil-, heat sealing-and separation or cutting arrangement the essential components of which constitute a movable heating weldingand separation-electrode 49 which can be moved up and down by a pneumatic cylinder 50 against the action of a pressure spring 52, and further a stationary counterelectrode 51 arranged at the carriage 2S and directly beneath the conveying plane of the transport or conveyor bands 12 and 13. Counterelectrode 51 cooperates in the usual fashion with the aforementioned electrode 49.
  • control mechanism for the equipment does not constitute a part of the inventive subject matter since the workings and construction thereof would be well recognized and understood by those versed in the art, still, for the sake of elucidating the more important overall operation of the inventive system, there has been schematically depicted in FIG. 1 a control mechanism.
  • Such control mechanism encompasses a light barrier or photoelectric device 53 responsive to the infeed of a piece good P and adjustable and fixable at the console 54 parallel to the transport direction of the conveyor bands 12 and 13.
  • Light barrier 53 is coupled by means of a schematically indicated conductor 55 with the control circuit components in the control box 57.
  • a terminal switch 56 electrically coupled by a conductor 56 with the control box or mechanism 57.
  • a control conductor or line 62 leads from the control mechanism 57 to the electric coil 43 of the brake mechanism 40 (FIG. 5).
  • a control conductor 58 leads from the control mechanism 57 to a valve unit 59 which selectively connects the pneumatic unit 50 of the work station 24, via a pneumatic conduit 60, with a conduit 61 leading to a nonillustrated pressure source or with the ambient air.
  • the control conductor 63 controlling a valve unit 65, which, in turn operatively couples the return cylinder 37 via a conduit or line 64 with a line 66 leading to a pressure source or with the ambient air.
  • the brake mechanism 40 is deenergized and the pneumatic unit 3'7 is subjected to pressure.
  • the carriage 25 is therefore located in its terminal position at the left side of FIG. 1.
  • a piece good P is delivered to the conveyor band 44, which is just about to contact the foil web 46.
  • this piece good P entrains the foil web 46 which, then, has approximately three-quarters of its peripheral area encased by such foil web during the time that this piece good P is further conveyed upon the conveyor band 12 and the conveyor ban 13.
  • conveyor band 13 pulls the carriage or slide 25 from the left to the right of FIG. 1, resulting in the balance beam or rocker arm arrangement 31 being pivoted in the direction of the arrow 67.
  • Conveyor band 12 therefore still carries out its feed activity and the next interval of time further conveys the subsequent piece good P,.
  • FIG. 3 This phase of the operation is illustrated in FIG. 3, from which it will be observed that the work electrode 49 has lowered behind the trailing end of the piece good P and in cooperative working relationship with the counterelectrode 51 fuses or welds together and separates the foil web 46.
  • this operation constitutes, in known manner, a separation welding of both webs, that is, both web sections leading to the supply rolls 47 and 48 are welded together or heat sealed, as indicated by the welding seam S, of FIG. 4, as are also heat sealed the upper and lower web sections extending about the piece l as indicated by the welding seam 8,, during such time as the separation occurs between the welding seams S and 8,.
  • the web 46 is again rendered coherent or, in other words, continuous.
  • this heat-sealing and separation operation occurs without interruption of the feed or conveying motion and continues for such a length of time until the carriage 25 has reached its terminal position, indicated at the right-hand side of FIG. 4.
  • the brake mechanism 40 is deenergized, the valve unit 59 relieves the pressure from the reciprocating piston 50, the valve mechanism 65 again applies pressure to the pneumatic unit 37, and the light barrier 53 is furnished with current once again.
  • the return of the work station 24 likewise does not bring about any interruption of the conveying movement.
  • the deflecting rollers I5 and 18 automatically rotate at a higher rotational speed than the rollers 17 and 14, since there must be taken into account, apart from the peripheral speed transmitted by the drive roller 17 to the conveyor band 13 also the displacement speed of the carriage 25, which collectively determine the peripheral velocity or speed of the rollers 15 and I8.
  • the tensioning rolls l6 and 19 could then be constructed as so-called dancer rolls which maintain the conveying or transport bands 12 and 13 in a tensioned state due to their own weight.
  • FIGS. 6 to 10 A more simplified version of the equipment of the invention has been illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 10, wherein there is only necessary a single conveyor band devoid of any tensioning rollers. To preserve clarity in illustration in the drawings, there has here been omitted the machine frame 11 and all of the components of the control mechanism, heretofore discussed in connection with the embodiment of inventive equipment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 inclusive there will be recognized a conveyor mechanism here constituted by the single conveyor band 121 trained about a roller I41 and a driven roller 171. Rollers 141 and 171 are stationarily rotatably mounted and approximately correspond to the rollers 14 and 17 of FIG. 1.
  • a carriage or slide 250 is threaded through the upper run of the conveyor band 121, carriage 250 constituting part of a workstation 241. Now these components can be considered equivalent to the components 25 and 24, respectively, of FIG. 1.
  • Carriage 250 rotatably mounts three deflecting rolls or rollers 151, 182 and 181, about which there is guided in the form of a U the band 121.
  • the substantially U-shape portion of conveyor band 21 defines a space which is not traversed by this band 121 at the region of the carriage 250, which space can serve to accommodate a suitable work tool.
  • the roller 151 can be considered comparable to the roller 15, whereas the rollers 181 and 182 can be considered to correspond in function to the roller 18.
  • the rollers 15] and 182, also the roller 18] although not visible in FIG. 10, are mounted in the side plates 253 and 254 of the carriage 250.

  • FIG. 14 denotes a cross-sectional view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 12, taken substantially along the lines l t-14 thereof. It will be seen that the deflecting roller 182 and the return roller 31 1 have their shaft members 1820 and 3110, just as is also the case with the nonillustrated rollers 151, 181, 310 and 312, mounted in sideplates 253 and 254 of the carriage 250. Mounting of the nonillustrated rollers 151, 181, 310 and 312 corresponds to the mounting of the roller 151 of the embodiment of FIG. 10.
