Description

Device for the automatic erection of pralines or other Confectionery cores The invention relates to a device for automatic erecting of chocolates or other confectionery cores on a conveyor belt that transfers them Shaking chute. Such devices are known. To now with the simplest means manage without additional guide elements above the sliding surface and still to achieve the desired straightening effect without too large a committee, should according to of the invention, the shaking chute firstly on the feed side in after the conveyor belt to ascending inclined guides and on the delivery side in horizontal guides stored and secondly provided with a floor or floor covering, either from a pyramid-shaped dice - if necessary by pushing in from the back its wells provided with additional elevations - sheet metal or from, one Wire mesh with the embossed sheet metal pattern, approximately corresponding braid wave arrangement and -height should exist.

On the drawing is in Fig. I an embodiment of the new; Device illustrated schematically in longitudinal section.

Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the slide covering in a plan view, Fig. 3 in section along line A-A and Fig. Q. in section along line B-B (Fig. 2). The workpieces; B. chocolate cores, get from the chute 2 directly onto the conveyor belt 5 of a chocolate dressing or another (not shown) Processing machine. The shaking chute is on a rack in a row the conveyor belt 5 inclined position along the conveying direction, namely in on the frame attached U-guides 3 and q. movably mounted; the one on the feed side of the Shaking chute after the conveyor belt to rise diagonally, on the delivery side of the The slide, on the other hand, should run horizontally.

The bottom of the slide or its surface is formed by a pyramid-shaped dice Sheet i. By pushing in the indentations on the slide plate i are occasionally between its pyramidal elevations i '(Fig.3) additional elevations i "(Fig.4) are formed. On this document, the upright workpieces slide inhibitory) ös @ while still overturned workpieces for each feed obtained by the swinging movement of the slide, the feed required to raise it. on their main footprint @ required resistances at the elevations i 'and i " Find.

The slide gets its reciprocation by an eccentric one A vibrating drive device with flywheels and oscillating back and forth between damping springs 6, whereby through the guides 3 and q. a resulting slide swing swing is caused, which in connection with the covering i with certainty a straightening the workpieces 7 on their way from the loading point to the delivery to the conveyor belt 5 guaranteed.

The loading of the vibrating chute rides workpieces by hand or be done mechanically by a conveyor belt & that moves the workpieces randomly supplies the shaking chute from a Vorratsbehälx (not shown).

To ensure a smooth transition of the exposed workpieces between To ensure shaking chute 2 and conveyor belt 5 is expediently connected to the former rin smooth end plate 9 articulated.

Instead of a pyramid-shaped sheet metal can be used as a slide floor or document also a wire mesh with the sheet metal embossing oyster roughly corresponding to the mesh wave arrangement and height can be selected.

Claims (1)

PATENT CLAIM: Device for automatic erecting of praline - or other confectionery cores on a vibrating chute that transfers them to a conveyor belt, characterized in that the shaking chute (z) firstly on the feed side in inclined guides (3) that rise after the conveyor belt (5) and on the delivery side stored in horizontal guides (q.) and secondly with a floor or floor covering is provided, which either consists of a pyramidal diced - if necessary by pushing in its depressions to the rear with additional elevations (i ") provided - sheet (i) or from a wire mesh with the sheet stamping oyster roughly corresponding Braid wave arrangement and height exists.
