Definitions
- the invention relates to a steep conveyor device for in particular inclined or vertical conveying of piece goods according to the preamble of the main claim.
- Such a device is known from EP 0 174 828 B1. It has a driven conveyor belt and a fixed plate which interacts with the conveyor belt. The general cargo is placed from above, between the two funds and transported downwards. The fixed plate has sliding properties.
- the conveyor belt is equipped with crossbeams for conveying the particulate material.
- Another vertical conveyor is known from DE-AS 26 22 366.
- This conveyor is also a double belt conveyor in which the general cargo is transported between two belts. With this conveyor, it is possible to convey the checked goods vertically downwards without their deformation, but the serpentine conveying path of the transported piece goods cannot be avoided due to the elasticity of the two conveyor belts.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a steep conveyor device which allows reliable conveyance of piece goods of different sizes at high speeds and selectable loading heights.
- the piece goods are enclosed by the conveyor belt, pressed against the fixed sliding wall / sliding plate and slides down or up there.
- the pressing devices ensure that the piece goods to be conveyed are enclosed by the conveyor belt to such an extent that they are reliably conveyed, on the other hand there is a gap not only in the length sections where piece goods are conveyed but also in the sections where no piece goods are conveyed the conveyor belt and the sliding plate. Due to the gap which is always present, the friction between the conveyor belt and the fixed sliding plate is avoided, as a result of which an increase in the conveying speed and at the same time a reduction in wear of the two components is achieved. Furthermore, the required drive power of the conveyor belt is smaller by avoiding the friction / sliding friction.
- the conveyor device is loaded by feeding the material to be conveyed between the conveyor belt and the sliding plate.
- the sliding plate is provided with a loading plate at its upper end, ie at the receiving end, which is arranged at an angle to the sliding plate and the conveyor belt (which run parallel to one another) in such a way that a receiving opening is formed.
- the sliding plate is wound on a drum at its lower end. Different loading heights are achieved by rolling up the sliding plate, which can be formed by a steel band, for example. This enables the conveyor to be loaded at different levels.
- the steel belt is reversibly rolled up on the drum so that the loading level can always be adapted to the requirements. It is possible to overcome larger distances such as floors in buildings or shelf levels.
- openings are provided above and below for receiving and delivering the goods.
- the loading openings are either in the upper and lower area of the sliding wall or they are arranged between the sliding wall and the conveyor belt. In the latter case, the conveyor belt and the fixed wall must be spread apart, for which purpose a spreading device is provided in accordance with an advantageous embodiment. The loading of the conveyor device in different levels is therefore easy.
- the pressing device which in particular allows reliable conveying of goods with an irregular outer contour and different sizes, contributes to a particularly high degree to increasing the throughput. It is essential that the large gap, which is created by loading the conveyor with conveyed goods and by transporting them, is closed as quickly as possible after a certain path length, so that the taking up and transport of subsequent goods is made possible.
- the path length can be defined by the distance from the pressure roller to the pressure roller.
- the support arm to which the pressure rollers are attached is advantageously designed in the form of a lever arm.
- the force of the pressure rollers, which is orthogonal to the sliding wall and the direction of conveyance, and the tension of the conveyor belt mean that goods with a size that deviates from the specified size (of course within a certain tolerance range) can be conveyed without e.g. to fail.
- the length of the support arms on which the pressure rollers are arranged i.e. the lever length by which the pressing force, i.e. the orthogonal force that is introduced or generated depends on the size of the goods to be conveyed and on their speed, and thus the device can be easily adapted to different conveying conditions by changing the length of the support arms.
- the lever arm can be provided with a weight, the vertical weight of which, when deflected from the vertical, also causes a horizontal force / orthogonal force on the pressure roller; on the other hand, the lever arms can be pulled or pressed at their ends be provided pneumatic cylinder or with a pulling or pressing spring or with a torsion spring, which serves to generate the torque at the attachment point of the lever arm.

- Figure 6 shows a hanging arrangement of the pressure levers with a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder

- Figure 8 shows a representation 7 in the rest position.
- Figure 9 is a schematic representation of the steep conveyor with a roll-up steel belt as a sliding wall
- Figure 10 is a schematic representation of the steep conveyor with a roll-up steel belt as a sliding wall with a modified
- Figure 1 1 is a schematic representation of the sliding wall with loading plate guided in vertically running rails.
- the conveyor device has a conveyor belt 1, an upper belt drum 2, a driven sliding plate drum 18, a sliding plate 3, and a lower drive drum 6.
- the lower drive drum 6 is designed as a drive unit and is mounted in a linear guide, the belt compensation 7, so that it can be rotated vertically.
- the belt compensation 7 is at the same time a belt store, which ensures that the conveyor belt can be deflected, provided that there is material to be conveyed 13 in the conveyor device.
- the defined tension force of the conveyor belt 1 is realized by means of a weight force integrated on the drive unit 6 or an integrated spring.
- the conveyor belt 1 is tensioned over the upper and lower belt drums 2, 6 with a defined force.
- the conveyor belt 1 runs parallel to the sliding plate 3 (FIG. 1). If conveyed goods 13 are present in the conveying device, the conveyor belt 1 is deflected in the region of the conveyed goods 13 and the conveyed goods 13 are spanned by the deflected conveyor belt. There is always a gap 14 between the fixed wall 3 and the conveyor belt 1.
- the conveyor device has pressure levers 4, with pressure rollers 5 arranged on the ends thereof facing the conveyor belt 1.
- the pressure rollers 5 are mounted on the support frame 15 via pressure levers 4.
- the pressure lever 4 with pressure rollers 5 are used to close the gap between the conveyor belt 1 and the fixed wall 3 in the area of the material to be conveyed 13.
- the conveyor belt 1 should be closed as precisely and quickly as possible with respect to the fixed wall 3, so that at short intervals General cargo 13 can be entered into the conveyor.
- the fast and optimal closing of the conveyor belt 1 maximizes the flow of conveyed goods and allows an almost independent size of two consecutive general cargo 13.
- the general cargo 13 is pressed against the sliding plate 3 by the pretensioning of the conveyor belt 1 and by the pressure rollers 5 arranged at regular intervals.
- the piece goods 13 are therefore conveyed by a positive and frictional connection between the conveyor belt 1 and the piece goods 13.
- the gap between the conveyor belt 1 and the fixed wall 3 is always closed so that a gap 14 remains between the two components.
- the pressure rollers arranged on the lever arms 4 exert a force orthogonal to the sliding plate 3 on the conveyor belt 1.
- the belt tension and the pressing force of the pressing rollers 5 are adjusted so that the conveyor belt 1 is again in its starting position, a few mm from the fixed wall 3, after driving over two pressing rollers 5 which have been deflected by the conveyed material 13.
- the horizontal force of the pressure roller 5 becomes smaller, since the weight of the piece goods 13 generally also becomes lower. This ensures optimal functioning of the conveyor.
- the simplest pressing mechanism is realized by the arrangement of a weight on the pressing lever shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the pressure lever 4 can be arranged hanging or standing. The following applies to the hanging arrangement (Fig. 7): the larger the size conveying piece goods 13 in its dimensions, the greater the deflection of the pressure lever 4 and thus the angle between the pressure lever 4 and the vertical.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 Another embodiment of the arrangement of the pressure levers is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the necessary pressing force is generated by a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder 17, which acts on the pressing lever 4.
- Various devices are provided for manually feeding the conveyor at different heights. In all of the devices mentioned, the loading can take place at variable heights, which result, for example, from building floors, shelf levels, etc.
- the conveyor thus offers the possibility of conveying goods from different levels of building floors, shelf levels etc. to levels below or from levels below to levels of different levels above.
- the sliding wall 3 in this device has two components, a loading chute 19 and a steel belt 20.
- the loading chute 19 has the function of guiding the material to be conveyed 13 between the sliding wall 3 and the conveyor belt 1. This is achieved by the material 13 slipping in at a defined angle into the narrowing gap between the sliding wall 3 and the conveyor belt 1.
- the loading chute 19 merges into the steel band 20 after reaching the predetermined gap of 5-10 mm (FIG. 11, top).
- the steel belt 20 now forms the sliding wall 3 on which the material to be conveyed 13 slides in a defined manner in the conveying channel, held by the conveyor belt 1.
- the steel belt 20 is guided in two guide rails 21 along its edges parallel to the material to be conveyed 1.
- the steel strip 20 is wound on a drum 18.
- the steel strip 20 is simultaneously wound onto the drum 18 when the loading chute 19 is lowered, or unwound from the drum 18 when the loading chute 19 is moved up.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show a device for spreading the opening between the conveyor belt 1 and the fixed wall 3.
- Feeding the conveyor device device with goods 13 can either be done from above by the task of the conveyed goods 13 between the fixed wall and the conveyor belt ( Figure 1, Figure 2), or there is the possibility of loading from the side in different levels in the device according to the invention.
- the loading from the side can take place either through openings in the fixed wall 3 (not shown) or through the use of a special device (FIG. 7, FIG. 8).
- the device has a vertically displaceable carriage 12 which, at any height of the conveyor, realizes an opening between the fixed wall 3 and the conveyor belt 1 by extending spreading rollers 10 (which are driven by pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders 11 or electric cylinders).
- the carriage 12 is shown in the non-extended state. In this state, the carriage 12 can be moved to the desired height of the conveyor and can be stationed there. Before entering the piece goods to be conveyed 13, the spreading rollers 10 are extended and create an opening for the task of the piece goods.
