Above the conveyor belts, in the space between the guide rollers and the guide, a pressure element is placed.

Description

(54) Equipment intended primarily for the in-service transport of objects

A device intended in particular for the in-process transport of objects, the essence of which is conveyor belts guided by guide and return pulleys, and for a longer time only stationary guides, adapted to the shape and dimensions of the transported objects. A pressure element is mounted above the conveyor belts, in the space of the meshes with guide rollers and guides.

The invention solves the construction of a device intended in particular for the in-process transport of objects.

Previously known devices are designed so that the transported object is grasped and transferred, which is time consuming, or the objects are placed on a moving long conveyor belt or the like, which then moves along with the transported objects to the destination.

Devices working on this principle are energy and space-intensive and are relatively expensive to manufacture and maintain.

There are also some devices that impart motional energy to the last transported object in a row, and this last object then pushes in the path a number of previous objects. In order to impart kinetic energy to the last object, in the known devices, strippers, supplemented, if necessary, are peeled off. feed wheels or rollers between which the transported object is drawn. However, the amount of articles so transported per unit of time is limited by the ultimate speed of movement of the label. Both the pusher and the feed wheel must be self-propelled, which results in higher energy consumption, considerable noise, equipment footprint and a greater possibility of failure. For these reasons, such devices are difficult to use to transport very slender, especially rotating objects, such as pencils, perpendicular to their longer dimension.

The above drawbacks are overcome by the device according to the invention.

It is based on short conveyor belts guided by guiding and deflecting rollers and on a movable guide, adapted to the shape and dimensions of transported objects. A pressure element is placed above the conveyor belts in the space between the guide rollers and the guide, with which the transported objects are aligned and pressed before entering the guide.

If there is a need to increase the force that imparts movement to the conveyed objects, it is possible to add a discharge roller located axially between the deflection rollers driven by the conveyor belts.

From the space between the belts and the thrust element, possibly. still between the discharge roller and the thrust element, the articles are ejected into a guide in which each subsequent article already acts in a known manner on the previous article.

By utilizing the invention, it is possible to reduce the power consumption and the cost of manufacturing, operating and maintaining the device for its simplicity, substantially reducing the failure rate due to the low number of moving parts, which also results in a reduction of the noise level. The possibility of damage to the transported objects by their jamming or accumulation is almost eliminated and overall the transport device is substantially simplified.

The drawing shows an example of a particular embodiment of the invention for the in-process transport of round pencils.

The conveyed articles 4 are carried from the machine at any spacing on the conveyor belts 1, which are guided over the guide rollers 4 below the pressure element 4 onto the deflection rollers 2. The conveyed articles 4 are either rolled or moved under the pressure element 4. From the space between the conveyor belts 4, the discharge roller 4 and the thrust element 6, the conveyed articles 6 are ejected into a stationary guide 6, where each subsequent conveyed article 6 already pushes the conveyed article 4 prior to the conveyor.

In order to increase the force which imparts movement to the objects to be transported, a discharge roller 6 is axially mounted between the deflection rollers 3. The surface profile of the discharge roller 6 may be smooth, elastic, grooved, corrugated, roughened by serrated notches or the like.

The device according to the invention has small dimensions, in particular height, which allows it to be used in confined spaces. Objects can also be shifted to an elevation, in angled or curved tracks, even over long distances. It is also possible to transport objects that are very slim, rotating, but also non-rotating.
