Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor system with a route network of profile rails, on which trolleys run with drive devices fed via current paths of the profile rails, and with at least one maintenance station inserted into the route network.
  • the trolleys traveling in such conveyor systems have some parts that have to be checked at regular intervals, but regularly. It is both electrical and mechanical components, such as. B. gear or grinding brushes for supplying electrical energy to the motors. Since the maintenance is carried out during the operation of the conveyor system and the largest number of conveying containers have to remain in the conveyor system in order to cope with the transport tasks involved, serviced trolleys must be returned to the conveyor system immediately. The delivery of non-maintained trolleys to the maintenance station arises the problem of distinguishing between serviced and not yet serviced trolleys and ensuring that all the conveying containers are included in a maintenance phase. This problem could of course be solved with the help of operators and with the help of lists which are oriented, for example, to different container numbers.
  • the invention is based on the object of making the assistance of operating personnel unnecessary in the detection of all trolleys and of making a constructionally and functionally simple distinction between serviced and not yet serviced trolleys.
  • a scanning and control device is arranged at a location of the route network which is frequently passed by trolleys and which is set at the beginning of a maintenance period in such a way that trams passing through the scanning and control device have a characteristic value set in a certain previous maintenance period of a scanable maintenance indicator are redirected to the maintenance station and that after each maintenance the indicator value of the maintenance indicator is changed to identify the maintenance period.
  • trolleys with a certain characteristic value of the maintenance identifier are diverted to the maintenance station.
  • the scanning and control device can of course be set or controlled in such a way that only a limited number of trolleys passing the scanning and control device is deflected at certain time intervals by the number of conveyors from the conveyor system not to remove the tram taken at the same time too large.
  • the trolleys that have already been serviced and returned to the route network are differentiated from the trolleys that have not yet been serviced by changing the characteristic value of the scannable maintenance indicator attached to them, and accordingly are not redirected to the maintenance station.
  • a particular advantage of the conveyor system according to the invention can be seen in the simple adaptation to the respectively changing conditions in the successive maintenance periods by simply reevaluating the information criterion obtained from the scanning of the maintenance indicator.
  • the scanning and control device is arranged at a location on the route network which is selected from the point of view that all trolleys of the route network have passed this location in the shortest possible time.
  • the location of the attachment of the scanning and control device will accordingly be at different locations in accordance with the different route network designs.
  • a possible location is for example se a central connecting line between several sub-lines of the route network;
  • Such a central connecting line is, for example, a vertical connecting line that connects several, mainly horizontal, conveying lines located on each floor of a multi-storey house; each trolley transported from one floor to another must take the route via the vertical connecting line.
  • conveyor systems are also conceivable that are either highly diversified or in which certain conveying containers only ever travel between very specific locations in the route network, so that no location in the route network can be specified that offers certainty that all the conveying vessels are within a reasonable range pass this place in a short time interval.
  • the scanning and control device can also be arranged at two or more correspondingly selected locations of the conveyor system.
  • this collective store should preferably be provided as a location for the scanning and control device.
  • the attachment of the scanning and control device at this location also offers the advantage that generally unloaded trolleys arrive at the maintenance station, while otherwise loaded trolleys can also reach the maintenance station and the goods to be transshipped there into already serviced trolleys and with appropriate setting of the target setting device the tram has to be transported to the original destination.
  • several such collective stores are arranged in the conveyor system, it is expedient in the area of several, preferably all.
  • the scanning of a maintenance indicator by means of the scanning and control device makes it necessary to redirect the trolley to the maintenance station, this redirection need not take place immediately.
  • the redirection can also take place, for example, in such a way that the trolley is directed to another generally permanently manned reception point and is there subjected to a prior visual inspection.
  • This visual inspection can relate in particular to an operating hours counter which indicates how long the tram has been traveling in the route network since the last maintenance.
  • the trolley is only diverted to the maintenance station when there is a predetermined operating time of the trolley.
  • Such an interposition of a station can be provided in particular if this station is located more centrally than the maintenance station, since this can shorten the time in which the trolleys are unnecessarily removed from the route network.
  • the number of adjustable label values of the maintenance label depends on the length of the maintenance period, taking into account an empirically determined maximum operating time of the tram. If, for example, the maintenance period is relatively long due to the large number of trolleys to be serviced and / or the few daily maintenance hours in relation to the actual operating period of the conveyor system, only two would be provided Characteristic values of the maintenance indicator for trolleys which have been serviced at the end of the previous maintenance period and which are diverted to the maintenance station at the beginning of the following maintenance period are to be serviced again at unnecessarily short intervals.
  • each maintenance period including all trolleys comprises several successive maintenance phases and that the characteristic values of the maintenance indicators and the scanning and control device are set such that in each maintenance phase the during the same maintenance phase of the previous maintenance period, trolleys that have been serviced are diverted to the maintenance station.
  • four different indicator values are provided, for example, two different indicator values can be set within a maintenance period, so that in the subsequent maintenance period the trolleys serviced during the first maintenance phase of the previous maintenance period are first fed to the maintenance station, whereas the trolleys serviced in the second maintenance phase of the previous maintenance period are first delivered be supplied to the maintenance station at the beginning of the second maintenance phase of the current maintenance period.
  • the maintenance period is very short compared to the operating period, it can advantageously be restricted to only two characteristic values of the maintenance characterizingly be provided, since the distance between two maintenance of each conveyor container differs only relatively insignificantly compared to the time average of the maintenance intervals of each trolley given by the average distance between the two maintenance periods.
  • a design of the maintenance indicator that is identical to the design of license plate elements of a target setting device of the trolley is to be regarded as preferred, since then the scanning and control device or its scanning elements can be arranged on a common carrier together with scanning elements of a target evaluation device related to the target setting device and thus cheap constructive designs can be achieved.
  • the maintenance indicator can also be designed as a metal plate, which, however, is fixed immovably in a suitably designed receptacle.
  • the simplest form of attaching the scannable maintenance label is to provide an adhesive film on the maintenance label, with which the maintenance label can be attached anywhere on the trolley.
  • the maintenance indicator itself is formed by an adhesive film; the adhesive film can have a metallic or magnetic coating or, with its surface, can represent an optically evaluable characteristic.
  • FIG. 1 relates to a conveyor system in which the maintenance period W1, W2 is relatively small compared to the operating period B.
  • the maintenance periods W1, W2 must be set in such a way that the sum of two maintenance periods W1, W2 and an operating period B corresponds to the maximum time period Tmax between two consecutive maintenance of one and the same delivery container.
  • This relationship results from the fact that the trolley that was first serviced in the maintenance period W1 can possibly only be serviced in the maintenance period W2 as the last of all trolleys.
  • the indicator value 0 is changed to the indicator value 1.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the operating conditions in a conveyor system in which the maintenance periods W1 and W2 are relatively long.
  • the resulting operating period B is smaller than each of the two maintenance periods W1 and W2.
  • the characteristic values of the maintenance identifier in the two maintenance periods W1 and W2 and in the operating period B are identical to those of the example shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the operating conditions that arise when the maintenance periods W1, W2 of FIG. 2 each have two maintenance phases W11, W12; W21, W22 can be divided. It is assumed that the trolleys have the characteristic values 3 and 4 before the maintenance period W1. In the first maintenance phase W11 of the maintenance period W1, only the trolleys which have the characteristic value 3 are redirected to the maintenance station, this characteristic value being changed to the characteristic value 1 after the maintenance. In the second maintenance phase W12, only the trolleys with the characteristic value 4 are diverted to the maintenance station, the characteristic value 4 being changed to '2' after the maintenance. In the subsequent operating period B there are therefore trolleys with the characteristic values 1 or 2 in the conveyor system.
