Den foreliggende opfindelse angår et anlæg til pakning af en blanding af vareenheder og af den i indledningen til kravet angivne art.The present invention relates to a plant for packing a mixture of product units and of the kind specified in the preamble to the claim.

I mekaniserede varelagre anvendes ofte såkaldt stationsud-5 tagningsanlæg, når der skal udtages enheder af en vare fra lageret. Det vil sige, at specielle lastbærere med den ønskede vareenhed transporteres fra deres sædvanlige magasi-nerings- eller oplagsplads til en station, hvor det rekvirerede antal enheder aflæsses. Efter denne operation sendes 10 lastbæreren tilbage til sin magasineringsplads. Hvis forskellige modtagere skal have samme slags vareenhed, aflæsses et tilstrækkeligt antal af disse, der da sorteres ud til modtagerne. En sådan omlæsning omfatter således et antal operationstrin, såsom aflæsning, sortering og læsning.In mechanized inventories, so-called station take-off systems are often used when units of a commodity are to be taken from the warehouse. That is, special load carriers with the desired unit of goods are transported from their usual storage or storage space to a station where the requisite number of units is unloaded. After this operation, the 10 load carrier is sent back to its storage location. If different recipients are to have the same kind of product unit, a sufficient number of these will be unloaded, which will then be sorted out to the recipients. Such a read-through thus comprises a number of operation steps, such as reading, sorting and reading.

15 Et sådant anlæg kendes fra beskrivelsen til USA-patent- skrift nr. 5.554.391i hvor vareenheder fra lastvogne, hver lastet med ens vareenheder, via et transportbåndsystem føres til en platform, hvorfra de indlægges i en roterende cirkulær reol, som tjener som mellemlager, og hvor de ens vare-20 enheder findes i hvert sit reolrum, som de tilføres og udtages fra i forskellige tidsrum og operationstrin. Fra denne roterende reol overføres et ønsket antal af hver af disse ensartede vareenheder til kasser, der står på en platform, og som derfra med deres vareblanding via transportører fø-25 res til et kontrolsted, hvorfra de kontrollerede kasser distribueres.Such a plant is known from the specification of U.S. Patent No. 5,554,391i in which goods units from trucks, each loaded with similar goods units, are conveyed via a conveyor belt system to a platform from which they are loaded into a rotating circular shelf serving as intermediate storage. , and where the same item-20 units are located in each shelf space from which they are supplied and withdrawn for different periods of time and operation steps. From this rotating shelf, a desired number of each of these uniform product units is transferred to boxes standing on a platform and, from there, with their product mix via conveyors, is conveyed to a control point from which the controlled boxes are distributed.

Af væsentlige ulemper ved dette kendte anlæg kan nævnes de mange varehåndteringsoperationer, først af varerne fra truck til transportbåndsystem, fra dette til den første JO platform, fra denne til bestemte rum for ensartede varer i den roterende reol, fra denne til kasser, der står stille pi en anden platform og modtager en vareblanding, og af kasserne fra den anden platform til en anden transportør og fra 2 1A 2 O 2 3 denne til lastpaller, som derpå indføres i udkørselslastvogne,Significant disadvantages of this known plant are the many goods handling operations, first of the goods from truck to conveyor system, from this to the first JO platform, from this to certain spaces for uniform goods in the rotating shelf, from this to boxes standing still. in another platform and receives a mixture of goods, and of the boxes from the second platform to another carrier and from 2 1A 2 O 2 3 to pallets, which are then introduced into delivery trucks,

Anlægget ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommeligt ved de i den kendetegnende del af kravet angivne foranstaltninger.The plant according to the invention is peculiar to the measures specified in the characterizing part of the claim.

5 Derved opnås en væsentlig reduktion af operationstrin, hvorved varehåndteringen sker hurtigere, enklere og hilligere med lavere forbrug af manuelle operationer, og hvor endvidere anlæggets konstruktion bliver enklere og dermed mindre bekosteligt at fremstille.5 This results in a significant reduction of operational steps, whereby the handling of goods takes place faster, simpler and more sanctified with lower consumption of manual operations, and whereby the construction of the plant becomes simpler and thus less costly to manufacture.

10 De ensartede vareenheder overføres fra stillestående lagerlastbærere i én eneste operation direkte til stillestående, trinvis fremførte distributionslastbærere, som derved modtager en blanding af vareenheder, d.v.s. uden at vareenhederne under overførselen har været anbragt i et mellem-15 lager, som det er tilfældet i ovennævnte USA-patentskrift. Overføringsmekanismen, der udfører den automatiske overføring af vareenhederne fra lagerlastbæreme til distributions-lastbærerne, kan udover at aflaste mennesker for det fysisk stærkt belastende håndteringsarbejde bibringes en effek-20 tivitet, såsom arbejdshastighed, kraftudøvelse, udholdenhed og sikkerhed, der langt overstiger menneskets præstationsevne. Opfindelsen kan selvfølgelig finde anvendelse i forskellige forbindelser, f.eks. ved en linieproduktion.The uniform product units are transferred from stationary storage load carriers in a single operation directly to stationary, progressively distributed distribution load carriers, which thereby receive a mixture of product units, i.e. without the item units during the transfer being placed in a medium stock, as is the case in the above-mentioned United States patent. The transfer mechanism, which performs the automatic transfer of the product units from the storage carriers to the distribution carriers, can provide, in addition to relieving people for the physically heavy handling work, an efficiency such as speed of work, power, endurance and safety far exceeding human performance. The invention can of course be applied to various compounds, e.g. by a line production.

Anlægget er endvidere i sin udformning særlig godt egnet 25 til automatiseret drift ved computer.Furthermore, the system is particularly well suited in its design for automated computer operation.

Anlægget ifølge opfindelsen vil i det følgende blive nærmere forklaret under henvisning til tegningen, hvor fig. 1 viser et planbillede af en udførelsesform for anlægget og 30 fig, 2 et planbillede af en anden udføreisesform.The plant according to the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which fig. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the plant and FIG. 2 is a plan view of another embodiment.

Som det fremgår af fig. 1, indeholder anlægget tre hoved- 142023 3 dele, der kan være kendt i og for sig, og som omfatter en transportbane 1 til fremføring af de indkommende lagerlastbærere 20-29, en bane 2 til transport og oprangering af et antal distributionslastbærere 10-19 bestemt for bestemte 5 modtagere samt en mekanisme 3 til overføring af enheder fra lastbærerne på banen 1 til lastbærerne på banen 2.As shown in FIG. 1, the plant contains three main parts, which may be known per se, which comprise a transport path 1 for conveying the incoming storage carriers 20-29, a path 2 for transporting and arranging a plurality of distribution carriers 10-19. intended for particular 5 receivers as well as a mechanism 3 for transferring units from the load carriers on the lane 1 to the carriers on the lane 2.

Anlægget fungerer som følger:The system works as follows:

En lastbærer 20 med et antal af en vis enhed er bragt i aflæsningsposition 4, og en lastbærer 10, der er tiltænkt 10 en bestemt modtager, er bragt i pålæsningsposition 5. Ved hjælp af mekanismen 3 bliver det påkrævede antal enheder overført fra lastbærer 20 til lastbærer 10, hvorpå lastbærer 10 fjernes fra sin pålæsningsposition 5 og erstattes med lastbærer 11. Nu overføres det påkrævede antal enheder 15 fra lastbærer 20 til lastbærer 11. I mellemtiden er lastbærerne 12-19 flyttet et skridt frem, medens lastbærer 10 er flyttet til den plads, som lastbærer 19 tidligere havde. Når lastbærer 11 har modtaget det påkrævede antal enheder fra lastbærer 20, gentages omlæsningsprocessen, ind-20 til alle de til modtagere bestemte lastbærere 10-19 har passeret mekanismen 3 og derved er blevet forsynet med det påkrævede antal enheder fra lastbærer 20. Lastbærerne 10-19 har følgelig gennemløbet en turnus og atter indtaget deres oprindelige pladser svarende til fig. 1. Lastbærerne 25 20-29 bliver nu flyttet et skridt frem, således at lastbæ rer 21 med nye enheder indtager aflæsningspositionen 4, som lastbærer 20 tidligere havde. Lastbærer 10 modtager det påkrævede antal enheder fra lastbærer 21, hvorpå lastbærerne 10-19 flyttes et skridt frem. Processen gentages,' 30 indtil lastbærerne 10-19 på ny har gennemløbet en turnus og derved er blevet forsynet med det påkrævede antal enheder fra lastbærer 21. Hele processen gentages flere gange, alt efter hvor mange forskellige slags enheder der skal udtages.A load carrier 20 having a number of a certain unit is placed in unload position 4, and a load carrier 10 intended for a particular receiver is placed in unload position 5. By means of mechanism 3, the required number of units is transferred from load carrier 20 to load carrier 10, whereupon load carrier 10 is removed from its loading position 5 and replaced by load carrier 11. Now, the required number of units 15 is transferred from load carrier 20 to load carrier 11. Meanwhile, load carriers 12-19 have moved a step forward, while load carrier 10 has been moved to it. space that cargo carrier 19 previously had. When load carrier 11 has received the required number of units from load carrier 20, the reloading process is repeated, until all the load carriers 10-19 designated for receivers have passed the mechanism 3 and thereby been provided with the required number of units from load carrier 20. The load carriers 10- 19 has consequently undergone a rotation and again taken their original positions similar to FIG. 1. Cargo carriers 25 20-29 are now moved a step forward, so that cargo carriers 21 with new units occupy the unloading position 4 which cargo carriers 20 previously held. Cargo carrier 10 receives the required number of units from cargo carrier 21, upon which cargo carriers 10-19 are moved one step further. The process is repeated, '30 until the load carriers 10-19 have undergone a turn again and thereby have been provided with the required number of units from load carrier 21. The whole process is repeated several times, depending on how many different types of units are to be taken out.

Hvis en af lastbærerne 10-19 er fyldt op, forinden alle tilIf one of the load carriers 10-19 is filled up, all have to go

Claims

142023 the particular delivery particular units are removed, it is moved from the loading position 5, and an empty load carrier, which has been held in the waiting position, takes its place. The filled load carrier is removed from the tumor circuit by 6 to 5 further distribution, while empty load carriers are introduced at

7. When the entire range of units is loaded, the load carriers 10-19 are removed from the circuit at 6 and new empty load carriers are introduced at 7. FIG. 2 shows another embodiment:

In this, the operation with respect to mechanism 3 is the same as previously described, but instead of being led into a circuit, the load carriers are moved back and forth through the mechanism 3. In this way, the load carrier 20 is placed in unloading position 4, whereupon the load carriers are placed. 10-19 15 are passed to the loading position 5, in which they are provided with the required number of units from the load carrier 20, the load carriers 20-26 are brought forward, and the load carriers 10-19, by reversing the path 2, are caused to pass the loading position 5, and the required 20 number of units are transferred from load carrier 21. The process is repeated corresponding to the number of load carriers 20-26 concerned. Once one of the load carriers 10-19 has been filled while the loading is still in progress or the loading is completed, 25 it is moved to position 6 and replaced with an empty load carrier from position 7. After complete removal process device 1 can be reversed and a new the selection process begins.
