Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switching device for hanging conveyors.
  • conveyors are used forming a plurality of loops, each of which is generally connected to a main transport, in particular by devices referral.
  • these hanging conveyors include rails which are carried by a structure and, for example, are connected to a load-bearing element, in particular using hangers rigid.
  • the articulation is of a type with a degree of freedom so that the moving section is actually maintained only by said articulation and the trajectory of its free end is defined exclusively by the position of the axis of articulation.
  • the front face of the mobile section is necessarily sufficiently spaced from the end face of the fixed rail considered to allow the free end of the section to escape movable from its so-called passage position to its position waiting but nevertheless close enough not to interfere with smooth movement of carts from one rail to another other.
  • this front face of the movable section is not in abutment on the end of the fixed rail but when a load circulates on this section, it inflicts, on this section, a bending variable with the load and, at the axis of articulation, a stress which could cause, if not shear, at least rapid wear of this articulation by friction and / or a deformation that would affect the proper functioning of the mobile section.
  • the movement of the mobile section can be controlled performed using a motor means but more generally this is done manually by an attendant.
  • This circular arc piece is carried by a structure which extends above the path of the movable section.
  • the invention relates to such a device switch particularly characterized in that the free end at least one movable section is supported substantially on the its entire trajectory by a suspension element connecting said free end to at least one support point which, located above the plane defined by the trajectory of said mobile section considered, is substantially on the axis of the means of articulation of the mobile section so as to define a triangle.
  • an installation is partially represented 1 conveyor, for example, for a workshop for making clothes which to transfer the clothes from a post to work to another, includes a plurality of loops, each generally connected to a so-called channel 2 main transport via devices referral 3.
  • these rails are carried by a structure 4 and, for example, are connected to a carrier element in particular to using lines 20.
  • the mobile section can be straight or curved.
  • the articulation 9, 10 is of a type with a degree of freedom so that the mobile section is only really maintained by said articulation and its trajectory is defined exclusively by the position of the hinge pin.
  • the rail preferably has an inverted V section and this are the two branches 12, 13 of the Vé which serve as tracks of bearing for rolling elements which have trolleys (not shown) running on the suspended rails.
  • the lines are attached to the tip of the Vé, for example at using a weld bead.
  • the front face of the mobile section is necessarily separated of the end face of the fixed rail considered to allow the exhaust of the free end of the movable section from its so-called transition position to its waiting position even if this gap remains small so as not to hinder the smooth passage carriages (not shown) from one rail to another.
  • the end face 21 of the section movable either orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 22 of the section considered it is inclined on this axis from the point from the Vé towards the rear of the mobile section in the manner of a skew cut and the end face 23 of the fixed rail is also inclined on its axis to obviously remain parallel to the end face 21 of the movable section.
  • the axis of rotation 24 of the movable section 5, 6 adjoins the lateral edge of this section mobile substantially at the intersection of the rear face of the movable section and the side edge on whose side the section mobile escapes from the fixed section. This is how it is allowed the minimum distance between the fixed part and the mobile part without harm its exhaust.
  • the raceway is therefore practically continuous and the carriage wheels pass well from one rail to another.
  • the free end 5b, 6b of at least one mobile section is supported substantially over its entire trajectory by a suspension element 25 connecting said free end 5b, 6b to at least one support point 26 which, located above the plane defined by the trajectory of said mobile section considered, is substantially on the axis 24 of the articulation means 9, 10 of the movable section.
  • the element of suspension is of the variable length type depending on the trajectory of the end of the mobile section and its variation is controlled according to the position of the movable section the along the trajectory.
  • it is an elastic element of stiffness predetermined.
  • the element of suspension 25 is of fixed length like a tie rod.
  • this tie can be deformed to circumvent part of the structure.
  • At least one of the ends of the suspension element is associated with one of the parts that are the fulcrum and the movable section by a means 27.
  • This means of articulation of the suspension element can be of the type with several degrees of freedom.
  • one of the axes of this articulation means connecting the fulcrum 26 and the suspension element 25 is collinear with the axis 24 of the articulation means of the section mobile associating it with the fixed part of the structure which supports it.
  • the articulation means 27 of the suspension element 25 and the articulation means 9, 10 of the movable section are located on either side of the portion of structure supporting said mobile section, this with respect to a plane substantially horizontal.
  • the referral device generally includes two mobile sections, each of which is connected by a joint 9,10 to one of the fixed rails such as the secondary rails.
  • These mobile sections are shaped so that the free ends alternately occupy the position of passage thus connecting one or the other of the secondary rails with the main rail.
  • the mobile sections are provided a means 19 for synchronized control of their movement.
  • the synchronized control means comprises a link 19 which connects at least indirectly the ends of the movable sections.
  • the assembly which are the two sections mobile and the control means is designed so that one mobile sections preferably occupies one of the singular positions.
  • one of them is heavier or the whole includes a return member (not shown).
  • the most usual position of the switch is the one where in particular the mobile section which is then curve is lifted and the rail support tube which supports this curved rail is not just vertical to the curved rail but is a bit offbeat.
