Title of the invention

Web guide of a surface covering conveyor systems

Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to the area-overlapping arrangement of a conveyor system for conveying transport units or workpieces in manufacturing systems.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions

Known is the promotion of workpieces bz ^. Transport unit 15 at the machine level and above the machine level. In the arrangement of the conveyor above the machine level, the conveyor system is designed to cover area. Below the area-overlapping storage device and distribution device, the machines are concentrated and 20vjerden supplied via lift conveyor with workpieces and disposed of. Here, the transport units are promoted to intersecting conveyor tracks to the respective parking spaces above the manufacturing facilities. The promotion takes place on driven roller conveyors or the like.

The intersections require increased technical complexity, • which affects the susceptibility and thus the reliability of the manufacturing process. Intersecting conveyor tracks increase the demands on the production control for the temporal organization of the work flow. The frequent Riehtungswechsel the transport units means that an increased safety effort for collision-free conveying the transport units is necessary.

Object of the invention

It is an object of the invention to design the web guides of the conveyor tracks of the area-covering conveyor system so that the increased technical and organizational effort as in conveyor systems with intersections deleted. Another goal is to reduce the drive energy of the roller conveyors.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The invention has for its object to provide surface covering distribution facilities with simple web guides in which the WerkstUckfluß is directed. This is essentially achieved in that a arranged above the machine level, surface-covering conveyor system with the ends of the web guides open into memory locations of a high-bay warehouse. The conveyor tracks are designed in a known manner as ball tracks, roller conveyors, air-bearing systems, magnetic cushions or the like according to the requirements of the manufacturing process as straight stitch tracks with task or removal in the cooking shelf storage (Figure 1) or as stitch tracks with curved path arrangement or u 2. The ends of the conveyor paths extend into a storage space of a high-bay warehouse, so that no transfer from storage to the roller conveyor is required.

The workpiece flow runs directionally on a conveyor track. The conveyor tracks are arranged horizontally or also with a slight gradient in the conveying direction *

This makes it possible, taking advantage of gravity to carry out the transport units from a transfer tray of the high-bay warehouse to any point on the conveyor track without significant drive energy. 5-From this results in the following transport process: From a high-bay warehouse, a transport unit is placed on an opening into the storage roller conveyor and conveyed to the elevator of the processing facility to be machined, taken from this and brought into the range of the manufacturing facility, processed by this and by the lift conveyor placed on the same or adjacent conveyor track. The transport unit then passes either to another, according to the technological process downstream manufacturing facility or in a takeover compartment in memory.

1 embodiment (FIG. 1)

In a storage device 1, which can be designed as a high-bay warehouse with a stacker crane, transport units in the form of transport containers, workpieces, WerkstUckträgern or the like are stored. The transport units are by means of storage and retrieval device on a in a transfer tray 2; 2.1 and 2.2 opening conveyor track 3; 3.1 and 3.2, which leads to the lift conveyor of the corresponding production facility. · The area-overlapping distribution device consists of several independently operating conveyor tracks 3; 3.1 and 3.2, the. preferably have a uniform Forderriohtung. A transport unit 4 from the transfer compartment 2.1 is conveyed with the conveyor track 3.1 to the parking space for removal for processing on the production device 6. The transport unit 4 is removed from the conveyor track 3.1 by means of a lift conveyor 5 and placed in the area of the production device 6 for processing the transport unit 4 is again set on the conveyor track 3.1 or on the conveyor track 3. The transport unit 4 is hereafter promoted to the parking space for processing the subsequent operation on the machine 6.1 or reaches a takeover position 2.3 or 2.4 in the high-bay warehouse 1.

The storage and retrieval unit can now park the workpieces of the transport unit on a storage space of the high-bay warehouse 1 or give up on a transfer station 2.2 the transport unit and promote by means of conveyor track 3.2 to the parking space of the technologically downstream manufacturing facility. This delivery process can be repeated at will and in principle has the same procedure.

2nd embodiment (FIG. 2)

In a storage device 1, which may be designed as a high-bay warehouse, transport units 2 are stored, which can be localized by a stacker crane within the high-bay warehouse. From one of the upper memory lines run in certain distances from one another rectilinear, away from the high-bay warehouse 1, slightly falling arranged conveyor tracks 3; 3.1;

153.2; 3.3; 3.4, all the underlying manufacturing equipment en 6; Cover 6.1. Below the upper conveyor tracks 3; 3 * 1; 3.2; 3 '3; 3.4 run slightly falling to the high-bay warehouse 1 out, lower conveyor tracks 4; 4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4. Due to the slightly falling arrangement of the conveyor tracks 3; 3.1; 3.2; 3.3; 3.4 reach the transport units at any location on the same without additional drive and thus energy from the high-bay warehouse 1 to the end of the conveyor tracks 3; 3.1; 3.2; 3.3; 3.4. Without additional energy also reach the conveyor units from the end of the conveyor tracks 4; 4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4 or from the respective attachment point to the takeover of the high-bay warehouse 1, so that the following mode of action results. A transport unit 2.1 passes under the use of gravity from the high-bay warehouse 1 on the parking space of the conveyor track 3 of the lift conveyor 5. -The lift conveyor 5 takes the

30 Transport unit 2.2, promotes them to the manufacturing facility 6, Yiird processed by this and set by the lift conveyor 5 on the conveyor track 4. Thereafter, the transport unit 2.4 automatically enters a takeover compartment of the high-bay warehouse 1. The stacker crane promotes the transport unit 2.5 in the

35übergabefach the conveyor track 3 «4, this passes under the use of gravity to the appropriate parking space. The lift conveyor 5.1 removes the transport unit.2 * 3 and places it on the

220724

After processing, the Liftförderer5.1 the transport unit 2.3 on the conveyor tracks 4.3 or 4.4 for promotion to the next parking space or the transport unit arrives on a takeover in the high-bay warehouse 1. The 5J ¹ OPderbahnen 3; 3.1 J 3.2; 3.3; 3.4 and 4; 4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4 lead into the transfer compartments and takeover compartments of the high-bay warehouse 1. The described conveying process can be repeated as desired and represents a simple practical realization option, in particular in production systems.
