Definitions
- the invention is in the field of conveyor technology and relates to a method for conveying individually kept products according to the generic term of the first independent claim, and an arrangement for Implementation of the procedure according to the generic term of the corresponding independent claim.
- the products to be considered below are kept individually if necessary, individual paths essentially continuously through a Funded network of conveyor lines.
- the products brought to stations from a manufacturing process for example which they are processed individually, or they are processed by a processing station to another processing station or through processing stations, in which they worked during the continuous funding will be supported.
- An example of products to be handled in this way are Print products that start from the printing press through various Processing stations are processed and made ready for dispatch.
- Conveyor systems which run independently of one another have holding means which can be moved by conveyor lines, that is to say not together connected holding means. Such arrangements are particularly suitable for funding procedures with product-specific funding channels, whereby for Guiding the movement of the holding device guide systems with product-specific controllable branching and merging points provided become.
- Such conveyor systems can be operated very flexibly, but are in Regarding control and drive means rather complex. For repatriation the holding means must also have correspondingly controllable guide systems be provided.
- the invention now has as its object a method for the promotion of individual products to demonstrate the benefits of those described above Systems combined, but largely eliminates their disadvantages.
- the method should be largely independent of shape variations Regarding the products to be promoted, it should also be for very high Funding services are applicable and it is said to be better than known ones Procedures in various areas through which to promote the products are adaptable to a wide variety of funding tasks. It is also the task the invention, an arrangement for performing the method create which arrangement simply for various local funding tasks is customizable and easily expandable.
- the method according to the invention is based on each product to be conveyed assign a holding element, which holding element the product in holds a defined way and which holding element together covers the entire transport route predetermined for the product with the product, which conveyor path consists of a series of conveyor lines.
- the Holding elements are coupled for conveying to parts that run along a specific conveyor line are movable, or on guides that are extend along a specific conveyor line.
- the holding elements each have at least one a first coupling part, with the help of which they on second coupling parts can be coupled, with every second coupling part essentially assigned to a specific conveyor path and movable along this.

- transfer areas that is, at places where the product is from a conveyor line is directed to another conveyor line
- the holding element from the second coupling part which can be moved on the one conveyor line or decoupled from the corresponding guide and to one on the other Conveyor path movable second coupling part or to a corresponding Leadership coupled, this handing over all products of a stream can affect or only individual.
- the advantage of the method is on the one hand that the products to be promoted need to be gripped only once, reducing the risk of damage is significantly reduced, making the process largely independent will depend on the exact shape of the products.
- they can on conveyor lines movable second coupling parts depending on the conveying task specific conveyor section of an envisaged network of conveyor sections in of very different types.
