Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor system with an at least approximately horizontal profiled rail route for accommodating undercarriages equipped with electrical drive devices and with conveyed goods carriers and with an at least approximately vertical profiled rail route for optionally transferring the carriages to another level.
  • Conveyors of this type are preferably used for the internal transport of files or conveyed goods of similar dimensions and / or similar weight.
  • the profile rail routes run predominantly horizontally in the ceiling area of rooms and merge into vertical profile rail routes in the areas in which loading and unloading of the conveyor carriers is to take place, which lead down to the floor area of the rooms.
  • the transfer of horizontal profile rail routes into a vertical profile rail route takes place - DE 2001330-B2 - via a switch. Since this switch has a 90 * profile rail arch and the minimum radius generally has to be several center distances of the bogies, which are usually provided with four rollers, such a switch has considerable dimensions. This leads to a relatively large dead weight and space requirement.
  • switches with a transversely movable profiled rail section in the horizontal region and the transfer to the vertical profiled rail route by means of a shift position or crossbar to be used.
  • the trolleys are brought into a vertical driving position and thus the conveyed goods carriers are rotated by 90 * and also brought into a vertical position. With some goods to be conveyed, this is undesirable or hinders manual or automatic loading and unloading of the goods to be conveyed.
  • the vertical profile rail route can be transferred via a profile rail arch to a horizontal profile rail section located in the floor area.
  • This arch area can, however, significantly impair the remaining use of space; this applies in particular when the arch area is not in the edge area of a room but in a central zone of the same.
  • Such conditions occur particularly when such conveyor systems are used in manufacturing areas; the trolleys or conveyed goods carriers can be used, for example, to transport printed circuit boards between different production facilities - component assembly, soldering, testing.
  • the object on which the invention is based a transfer of undercarriages from a horizontal profiled rail route to another level with little space requirement, both in the area of the transfer from the horizontal profiled rail route to the vertical profiled rail route and in the area of the other level with little expenditure on equipment and design, and in particular while maintaining the position of the trolleys is fiction according to the fact that on the vertical mounting rail route is also equipped with an electric drive device another chassis, which carries a mounting rail section that is in a position in which it closes a gap in the horizontal mounting rail alignment, and the other level is movable.
  • the main advantage of the conveyor system according to the invention is the departure from the usual switch principle and the choice of an elevator principle for transferring the trolleys from a horizontal profiled rail line to another level, without using the usual concept of an elevator with a carrier suspended on a cable and a stationary cable drive is, but rather the elevator is also formed by a profile rail route and a chassis;
  • the elements necessary for the construction of the conveyor system - profile rails and trolleys - are also used to implement the transfer of the trolleys to another level.
  • An advantageous development of the invention relates to the energy consumption of the running on the vertical rail track and provides in this context that the further chassis has a locking device serving to lock it in the standstill position, which is ineffective by means of a chassis-own electromagnet while the other chassis is traveling .
  • the further chassis has a locking device serving to lock it in the standstill position, which is ineffective by means of a chassis-own electromagnet while the other chassis is traveling .
  • a preferred constructive realization of the braking device consists in that the braking device has a brake disk secured in a rotationally secure manner on a shaft of a drive motor and a counter disk aligned parallel thereto, which can be moved away from the brake disk by means of the electromagnet against the force of a spring device.
  • the drive motor of the chassis guided on the vertical profiled rail route - with an acceptable running speed of the chassis - apply a greater torque than the drive motors of the running gears running on the horizontal mounting rail. This can force the use of stronger motors in the running gear guided on vertical rail tracks.
  • the associated increase in the size of the motors can, however, be reduced or prevented entirely if the further undercarriage is connected to a counterweight by means of a rope which is guided over at least one stationary guide roller.
  • the conveyor system according to the invention thus uses the method of reducing the drive energy known from classic elevator technology.
  • a construction in which the counterweight is guided on the side of the profiled rail route facing away from the further running gear is to be viewed constructively and in terms of the space requirement in a particularly favorable manner.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention relates to the gap formed within the horizontal profiled rail route, which consists of its rest position when the profiled rail section attached to the further running gear exits.
  • an additional undercarriage is guided, which rests with a lower supporting surface on an upper supporting surface of the further undercarriage, and carries an approach which is guided to a fixed stop when the further and thus the additional undercarriage is moved downward
  • the position is selected such that an additional profiled rail section mounted on the additional running gear closes the gap in the horizontal profiled rail route that is released by the profiled rail section.
  • the additional undercarriage therefore does not require its own drive device, but is brought into a rest position by gravity when the further undercarriage moves downward, in which it is secured by a stop.
  • the upward movement of the additional undercarriage takes place when the additional undercarriage enters its rest position associated with the closing of the gap in the horizontal profiled rail line.
  • the profiled rail section or the additional profiled rail section must also have a voltage supply in order to enable a running gear to be crossed. This is done in such a way that the further undercarriage has a switching device for the optional connection of the voltage on current paths of the section rail section. In this way, an unhindered passage of a landing gear or a stopping of the landing gear for subsequent removal to another level can be achieved.
  • the chassis can e.g. B. on arrival in this plane point in any direction if the vertical rail track is at least partially twisted about its longitudinal axis.
  • the conveyor system can thus be optimally adapted to the spatial conditions present in the processing plane.
  • the profiled rail section can be moved into the alignment of a profiled rail route in the other plane. The one that was transferred from the horizontal profiled rail line to a lower level The undercarriage can therefore be transported in any direction by means of a further profile rail route.
  • undercarriages to or from the further profiled rail route
  • the delivery or inclusion of undercarriages to or from the further profiled rail route can be accomplished in a very simple manner in terms of control technology with the aid of the optional switching on and off of voltage on the profiled rail section carried by the further undercarriage. It is also possible to arrange a plurality of processing planes or further profile rail routes one above the other; This means that an optimal adaptation to the spatial conditions and the production flow is possible in particular when using the conveyor system according to the invention within production systems.
  • the area of a conveyor system shown in FIG. 1 comprises a horizontal profiled rail route Ph, which is guided past a vertical profiled rail route Pv.
  • On the horizontal profile rail route Ph running gears, oie over along the horizontal profile rail route Ph formed busbars Sl, 52, S3 are supplied with energy or controlled.
  • a carriage F with a conveyable-goods carrier T suitable for receiving printed circuit boards is shown.
  • the additional chassis F2 carries a profile rail section P2 of the same length as that of the profile rail section Pl.
  • the further undercarriage F1 or the additional undercarriage F2 carry grinding brushes, not shown, which reduce the driving voltage or control potential from the busbars S4, S5, S6.
  • the driving voltage is transmitted to two of three busbar sections S11, S12, S13 of the section rail section P1; thus an unhindered passage of trolleys F over the section section Pl possible.
  • the stopping of arriving trolleys F can be carried out, for example, in such a way that a certain control potential is switched on to the third conductor rail sections S13 de5 'profile rail section P1 by a switching device (not shown in FIG. 1) of the further chassis Fl.
  • the third busbar S13 is arranged only in an end region of the profiled rail section Pl, so that after the impact of a grinding brush of the chassis F traveling on the horizontal profiled rail route Ph, the drive device of this chassis is stopped and the chassis F thus comes to a standstill on the profiled rail section Pl.
  • a control signal for the further undercarriage Fl is derived from the stopping of the undercarriage F on the section rail section Pl, which is then driven in the direction of the further section rail section Pw.
  • the additional undercarriage F2 which rests only on the upper support surface Fll of the further undercarriage Fl, is carried along. This carrying of the additional undercarriage F2 lasts until the stop F22 located in the upper area of the additional undercarriage F2 hits a fixed stop A.
  • the additional profile rail section P2 is thus aligned with the horizontal profile rail route Ph.
  • the section shown in FIG. 2 through the further undercarriage Fl guided on the vertical profiled rail route Pv shows a schematic illustration of some essential components of the undercarriage Fl.
  • the further undercarriage Fl is supported by two pairs of rollers 1, 2 on side walls 3, 4 of the other undercarriage Fl.
  • the pairs of rollers 1, 2 support the running gear Fl, which rests with a gear wheel 5 on the rack Z of the vertical profile rail route Pv.
  • Three grinding brushes 6, 7, 8 of a current collector block 9 brush the three busbars S4, S5, S6.
  • the further chassis F1 is driven by a motor EM, which is driven by a control device SE, which in turn is electrically connected to the contact brush block 9.
  • the power transmission to the gear 5 is carried out with a worm gear 10, '11.
  • FIG. 3 shows the rear area of the motor EM of FIG. 2.
  • a motor shaft 13 protruding from the motor housing 12 carries a brake disc 14; this is assigned a counter disc 15 which is guided on two guide pins 16 and 17.
  • three helical springs act on the counter disc 15 - only two helical springs 18, 19 are visible - their storage and design is illustrated by a broken view in the area of the helical spring 19.
  • the counter disc 15 is part of a magnet system including a magnet 20; the magnet 20 is locked in a clamping ring 21.
  • FIG. 3 shows the counter disk 15 in the non-excited state of the magnet 20.
  • the illustration of the control-technical components of the conveyor system according to the invention in FIG. 4 is based on the illustration of a conveyor system according to FIG. 1.
  • the horizontal profiled rail route Ph forms a gap, which is closed by the profile rail section Pl.
  • the horizontal profiled rail route Ph carries, inter alia, three current paths 51, S2, S3, of which the current paths S1, S2 carry the operating voltage for an electrical drive device for a chassis (not shown) running on the profiled rail route Ph.
  • Control potentials are delivered to the undercarriage by means of the third current path S3 or transmitted from the undercarriage to control devices.
  • the vertical profiled rail route Pv also carries three current paths S4, S5, S6, of which the current paths S4, S5 carry the operating voltage, while the current path S6 serves to transfer control potentials.
  • the further running gear F1 traveling on the vertical profiled rail route Pv contains the electric motor EM and the three contact brushes 6, 7, 8 (FIG. 2), of which the contact brushes 6, 7 are guided on the current paths S4, S5; an additional contact brush K is in contact with a short current path section SA in alignment with the current path S6, while the contact brush K8 is guided on the current path S6 leading to the end region of the vertical profile rail Pv.
  • the further undercarriage F1 contains the control device SE (FIG. 2) as an essential control component, which can be constructed essentially like the switch control device described in US Pat. No. 3,340,821.
  • control device SE additionally supplies the two current path sections S11, S12 of the profile rail section Pl with travel voltage; the current path S13 of the profile rail section Pl can be subjected to control potential.
  • Another input of the control device SE is connected to a - schematically indicated - position contact SK, which when the further chassis Fl is actuated into the position of the profile section Pl aligned with the horizontal profile rail route Ph.
  • a running gear in the direction of the direction arrow drawn in the horizontal profile rail path Ph leads to a response to the same and thus to the emission of a signal that is transmitted via the contact brush K when an approach device AE installed on the horizontal profile rail path Ph is approached of the further undercarriage F1 to the control device SE and this is converted into a control potential for the current path section S13 of the profiled rail section Pl.
  • the moving undercarriage is thus stopped when one of its three grinding brushes hits the current path section S13. From this shutdown, a driving signal is obtained by means of the control device SE, which leads to the connection of the drive voltage applied to the current paths S4, S5 of the vertical profile rail section Pv to the electric motor EM.
  • the further running gear Fl is thus transported along the vertical profiled rail route Pv to its lower end position.
