Method and gate direction for turning objects

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus to turn individual τοη a conveyor carried Objects and relates in particular to a single procedure and such a device for use with relatively large and fluffy objects such as e.g. Vehicle floor panels, panels or the like.

Where there are no restrictions on the length of the conveyor path available for such a purpose are, in the construction of an apparatus for handling objects of this type, no special ones Problems. However, if necessary or desirable is to reduce the space taken up by such a device so far that about the same not much more space is required than the length of the object in the direction of the conveyor, then there are extraordinary difficulties.

The aim of the invention is to »find a way and create a device to overcome such difficulties overcome.

The invention provides for these purposes, the preceding one 2nd · each object is moved upwards when

A device sun turns relatively shallower, τon An object moving forward on a conveyor is characterized according to the invention by means of raising the front one At the end of each object near the top when it reaches a given point, exercise it on, among other things, its behind Kant, who rallies up to the sponsor, swings through and through Means to attack aa rear end to prevent the object from moving in the opposite direction Movement direction of the conveyor, with StUtsBittel provided are to the object b «la overturning about his rear Take up the edge and take the lifting means at yours subsequent lowering sur influencing or controlling the forward sliding movement of the first serve behind and now the front edge of the object.

The means for lifting the front end of each object near the top include at least one sweep extending along the conveyor era, which is usually below the track of the conveyor and the over an Aohee lying above when viewed in the direction of production can be swiveled upwards.

The means sub attack at the rear edge of the object contain at least one of the above angled, sioh extending along the conveyor, which is normally below the conveyor's BsJib and around one running underneath, seen in the conveying direction

The invention also provides that the means turn Lifting the front end of the objects and the means to attack on the rear end of the same, central lever system can be actuated, which is operated by a pressurized piston in a cylinder is drivable.

According to a further feature of the invention, the execution also be such that the means for lifting the front end of the object and the gowns for grasping it at the rear end of the same by means of separate, syn- j chronically working means are driven.

Further features and details of the invention are provided explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Ee point

Figure 31. 4 and 5 scheaatisoh four successive positions during operation of the apparatus of FIG. 1. ä

When realizing the invention in accordance with an expedient embodiment, a turning device is shown in FIG Connection to a conveyor provided, the a number of spaced, parallel, endless Has V-belts 1 that run over pulleys 2 and 3.

The respective upper run of the belt 1 is used to convey relatively flat, la individual not particularly shown Motor vehicle floor panels from a press in the left-to-right direction in FIG. 1, wherein

the same are guided on each side by separable guides ' i (? ig. 2).

When the leading edge 9a (FIG. 3) of each plate 9 reaches a certain position, it also actuates an opening or switching device 4 in order to return the turning device to a starting or standby position, in which two lifting arms 5 and two rear arms 6 eioh are located below the working dream of the front and the control of the device is in readiness for lifting. Door s ^f ore wide plates, panels or the like. additional arms 5a and 6a can be provided »which are adjustable in the transverse direction»

In Fig. 2, the arms 5 and 6 are depressed with indented lines and with dash-dotted lines in dtr raised position together with susätsliohen Ar-5a, 6a soaped.

Council the gate-exiting edge of the panel reaches a position in which it actuates a “wide release or hold-up arm 7, it becomes a pneumatic or hydraulic one Cylinder 8 is retracted from its raised position so that the lifting arm 5 is via articulated levers and U and an angle lever-like extension 5b of the Hubiurmee 5 clockwise around an axis of rotation or a Pin 12 are rotated. Oleiohieitig via articulated levers 10 and 11, the rear arms 6 rotated clockwise. In this way, both arms 5 and the arms 6 are raised by rotating about the pin 12 (FIG. 3), the arms 5 being seen in the conveying direction behind the pin 12 and the arm · 6 gate are located same.

The arms 5 grip the underside during their lifting movement the plate 9 in the vicinity of its front Xante 9a and tilt eie around its rear edge 9b, which is about

slides back, bie aie to rest on the raised rear arms 6 comes. The latter are L-shaped and form ao a paragraph or stop (Fig.4). Finally, the plate lays down in the course of its tilting movement against a support arm 15, which is adjustable in its position (Pig. 5).

When the cylinder θ is fully retracted, ao is actuated he another switch, not shown, which reverses the control, ao dad the cylinder β then extend again begins. As a result, the rear arms 6 and with them the edge 9b of the plate 9 (which is now to the front edge has become 1st) on the conveyor (Fig. 6). The lowering of the lifting arms 5 controls or controls the sliding downward movement of the now turned plate on the conveyor. The one at the beginning and now the one at the front Edge 9b of the plate engages the lifting arms 5. The previously front and now rear edge 9a is on the support arm 15 led. As can be understood without further ado, the edge 9b receives during the continuous transition from the Position according to FIG. 5 in that naoh FIG. 6 a take-away in gatekeeping through the forward movement of the Sponsor.

After turning it over, the plate comes over a second time the switching arm 7. To the turning process thereby not again trigger, the Sohalter 7 is made ineffective beforehand, and only by pressing the welter mentioned above, Switch not shown through cylinder 8 when it is retracted. Dar Aualöaesohalter 7 arrives only then in readiness again when a subsequent plate actuates the hold arm 4.

The turning device explained above according to the invention hardly requires more plats in the conveying direction than the length of a plate. She also works ao that ea It is not necessary to contact the sponsor.

In the illustrated and described embodiment example, there is a lever system for simultaneous movement
the lift arms 5 and the rear arms 6 are provided in opposite directions. Notwithstanding this, however, other means, such as gear drives or chains or separate, synchronously operating systems, can also be used for this purpose.

All the features mentioned in the above description or shown in the drawing are intended to be used on their own, provided that the known state of the art permits it
or in combinations as falling under the invention, even if they are in the claims
are not expressly mentioned.
