The invention relates to a Bangierapparet, which inobea special is used to control the carriage length of a guideway so that it arrives at certain stations *

To move loads must be on the trolley or sledge a dialing device may be present, which is connected to a device in Match will be brewed as soon as the different Stations reached deserve the device let j «dooh. like that coded, that the car only stopped at the desired station or is discharged. It is known to be in the vague hook go ahead, operate the benches with 8o holders at the stations! the switches are coded in the Velse so that the correct one Combination must be pressed to stop the Vegen or to unload. However, these arrangements have the principle that they are subject to a mechanical prohibition, the eu errors.

Instead of the meohanlsoh operated switches are already asgnetisohe or electrical devices have been proposed, In however, which require a complicated logic circuit.

The invention is based on the task, on the one hand, to be simple and to say a reliable device of this kind is not subject to mechanical insoles.

In order to control the wagons along a guideway to the desired stations, an arrangement of switches connected in series or a corresponding arrangement of magnets are attached to each path and every station Press holder! the individual switches and magnets are edited in such a way that when the car arrives at the desired station, the combination of actuated switches eohlieflt a tax exempt from which the car is parked and / or unloaded.

The magnets are preferably permanent magnets, although in some cases electrons are also considered know.

In a preventive embodiment, the code holders have code holders iwel positions} in series with each solenoid operated Oodeso holder there is a selector switch with two positions, voduroh the code to which the control circuit responds, «urvpr can be adjusted.

₍ Such an arrangement is simple and reliable, since the electric power supply is only closed when the correct switch combination is operated, so that a complicated switching device for the selection is unnecessary.

The magnets are preferably arranged parallel to your direction of movement in several rows, which are filled or empty according to the binary code. In order to report an accidental closing of the electric circuit, there is a necessary row, a so-called test row, provided approximately in the middle of the Hegnet rows. This series of tests ensures that the circuit can only be closed when the car is in the middle of the station. _tti . _D.

A magnet cost according to Figure 1 contains an arrangement of magnets, which store a code that reproduces an address in bjtlnttrer form) a receiving unit assigned to it has an arrangement of magnetized reed switches. The one arrangement is on each Wagon attached while sloh dl · other is on the track; at the movement of the car on the track are the magnets and recording θ contents Matched at the desired station. The tongue followers respond to the field of the magnets and feel the positions corresponding to the coda.

Jq (5 em reed switch allows a selection that can be made by the band assigned to which the required code is fed. If the tongue switches are in a position appropriate to the code, becomes a circuit through the contacts of all tongue holders and eller manually operated switches in series. This circuit is only closed when a Recording device with a magnetic box containing the same code, as set in the recording unit, in Ubertfoatlmmung stands. The desired puncture, e.g. the switching of the switches, is specified on the switches that can be operated by hand will.

The web box according to Figure 1 can accommodate a code of 5 digits. The magnets are arranged in a number of columns, which is one greater than the number of digits in Code 1st. the additional column is used for a test signal. The presence * being of magnets In one column there is a sine in the code, while your absence means a zero. In the example shown the code is 11101.

Several magnets with the same polarity are used in each column in order to build up an almost smooth field in the longitudinal direction. The magnets of the conquered gaps, however, have the opposite polarity. The pick-up unit contains several reed switches R ₁ - Rg, the location of which corresponds to the columns of the magnetic bar. The polarizing elements of these tongue holders are alternately reversed from column to column and also opposite to the magnets in the corresponding columns of the magnet box.

When the receptacle and the magnet box are on top of each other the reed switches that correspond to the 1-column will, unfortunately, be box is deleted, then these relays are switched. the

The reed switches above the O-columns remain polarized and are not unpeeled as-o.

The recording unit and the magnetic chain will sound the guide «- devices of the car next to each other in exact correspondence held. This exact alignment, combined with the Veoheel the polarity of column to column results in good shielding against the adjacent channel "there is therefore a little bit" (See that the reed switch of one of the magnets is off the hook is influenced in the adjacent columns.

At the two ends of the Magnetkaatena 1st a stray field present, the auerst meets the receiving unit when it comes nearer to him, etc. When the reed switch befind in this fringe field '/), there is the possibility that they rattle or umgeeohaltet front of or behind Bilteatellung . This means that luatan encodings can come in, or the correct code is temporarily established, which is then lost again. In order to prevent false excitation of the external circuits by these hand effects, a test system is provided. The last "gap" 6d megnetkaatene is always provided with a number of magnets that are smaller than that of an adrean gap and of the order of a third. The address columns therefore overlap the check columns at the two ends. In the tent tension in which the test tongue holder comes under the influence of the magnets in the test package and is not held, the address test holders lie in the range of a uniform field and have assumed their correct position. One contact of the test connector is in series with the output of the receiving unit, so that the external circuit cannot be closed before the test connector is actuated.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the control circuit of the recording "catches up". Reed switches R ₁ and R ₂ are operated by magnets and further switches S ₁ and S _{2 are operated} by the tape.

Provided deθ is a binary code and a container for the bins downwards and for the envelope upwards Figures 1 and 2 the states for the Oode 11101. If this Oode is entered on the offsets to be set from the tape, if switching through is not possible if the digits are not activated 1-3 and 5 corresponding reed switches and the test ao holder are actuated and the fourth Oodesung filter unchanged stayed.

For the coding of the addresses a straight binary code, a binary coded Derimelanβ or some other form of a binary code can be used. «The switches of the reception area can be single-pole pushbutton umao holders or AuelSeso holders to which the address code In binary can be fed.

If the number of so holder banks is the same as that of the digits in the code, circuits are established via the so holder contacts that convert the entered number into all the corresponding binary formats and actually create the 8 drum circuit in accordance with Vlgur 2.

Either the magnetic box or the recording unit can be attached to the trolley, while the other (Jerät see located on the track. Which choice is made depends from the speslellen Veil.
