Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement of a conveyor line for containers that are conveyed on the conveyor line and are to be filled with articles or bulk goods in a filling station via a filling funnel and are in the filling position, in particular that part of an automatic picking station that feeds the shipping containers to the filling station. positioned for the duration of the article or product transfer under the filling or transfer funnel and then removed again from the filling station.
- the containers are moved in the area of the automatic picking handover via a continuously running conveyor belt.
- the incoming containers are separated by a clamping device which is arranged in front of the transfer station and which detects the frontmost container and only continues to run shortly before the filling station becomes free.
- a clamping device Directly under the filling or transfer hopper downstream of the first clamping device is a second clamping device on both sides of the conveyor belt, which detects the incoming container and holds it in the correct position until the end of the filling.
- the filled container is then released, frictionally carried along by the continuously driven conveyor belt and transported out of the transfer area.
- the container changeover time and thus in many cases the throughput of the entire order-picking system depend on the speed at which the containers on the conveyor belt continue to be frictionally locked.
- the object of the invention is to create an arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset which, with the aid of simple means, enables a precisely and correctly positioned container to be filled correctly and effectively and, if appropriate, also allows the containers to be clocked further in the area of the filling station.
- the conveyor line in the immediate area before, in and / or after the filling station has at least on one side a rotating toothed belt or chain drive with its own intermittent actuator and spaced-apart container driver plates, which open with arriving on the conveyor line at the top Containers can be brought into a form-fitting engagement and by means of which the containers can be clocked, preferably accelerated, both into the filling position and after filling from the filling position and, if necessary, can be fed back on the output side of the conveying path, adjacent, located in the filling position driver plates extending transversely to the conveying direction form a filling shaft wall between the filling funnel and a container to be filled.
- driver plates are preferably provided, which are fastened, in particular suspended, in the rotating toothed belt or chain drive at the same distance, the distance corresponding to the container width in the conveying direction.
- the driver plates are in particular thin - walled spring steel plates which are stable per se, preferably white with a thickness of approx. 0.7mm.
- the driver plates in particular have slots on the top side, preferably in the vertical direction, which increase the elasticity or create spring action when there is actually an obstacle in the movement path, which is then overcome.
- the toothed belt or chain drive can be designed with a stationary vertical container guide wall in the conveying direction, which is arranged in particular between the upper and lower belt of the toothed belt or chain drive, the container guide wall, optionally together with the upper belt, in the region of the Filling opening forms a filling shaft wall in the conveying direction.
- the filling funnel itself can be designed as a buffer funnel or with a separate buffer funnel, which contains a horizontal slide that closes and reveals the filling opening, the horizontal slide, which is preferably in two parts, only opened and otherwise closed when the container is in the filling position.
- an emergency running device is provided for clocking in and out the containers to be filled, in particular if the toothed belt or chain drive fails to operate.
- the emergency running device comprises two lateral stoppers on each side, through which containers running on the continuously driven conveyor belt through the filling station in the filling position and in the upstream waiting position can preferably be positioned and released by lateral frictional engagement.
- the sensor system of the actuator of the toothed belt or chain drives or the optionally available emergency running device comprises in particular five light barriers, an inductive sensor and a scanner, a further stopper for separating the containers being provided on the input side of the filling station in the conveying path, which the path of movement of the conveyed containers can be set or the path of movement of the conveyed containers can be released.
- the overall system can be designed so that a single continuous conveyor section before, in and after the filling station is preferably designed as a belt conveyor or belt drive.
- the conveyor section can be interrupted in the area of the rotating toothed belt or chain drive and can have a separate belt conveyor or belt drive with its own drive.
- the conveyor section on the input side located in front of the toothed belt or chain drive can be a conveyor belt, an accumulation roller conveyor without back pressure or a drive roller conveyor subject to back pressure.
- the belt conveyor or belt drive can also have a stationary upper sliding surface in the area of the filling position, it being possible for the belt conveyor or belt drive in the area of the sliding surface to be configured so as to be offset in parallel downward via deflection rollers.
- the invention allows a container change at a filling station to be accelerated and in particular carried out precisely.
- the container to be filled is positioned exactly in the filling position and filled without any problems.
- the containers (cardboard boxes or the like) are very quickly timed positively by a flat driver under a transfer funnel (buffer funnel).
- the essence of the invention is that when the products fall from the transfer funnel into the container below, which can additionally be of different heights (h or h '), no products can fall apart.
- a shaft-like configuration is formed from the opening of the transfer funnel to the opening of the container, regardless of the height of a container.
- the opening is formed transversely to the direction of conveyance by the driver plates or aprons themselves, which, together with lateral guide plates, determine the overall opening.
- the clearance profile of the so-called indexer is matched to the containers or cartons so that there is only a total play of approx.
- the container or box only has a total play of approx. 6mm in the conveying direction. Because the usual products have a minimum size of approximately 12mm to 15mm, no product can fall apart when filling.
- the indexer has a toothed belt or chain left and right side of the container with vertical axes.
- This drive is driven by a common chain or a common double toothed toothed belt by a single servo motor or actuator.
- On each toothed belt or chain drive in particular six driver plates, preferably made of spring steel, are mounted, which represent approximately half the width of the container. Because the left and right toothed belt or chain drives are synchronized via a drive, it is possible for the driver plates to continue to clock the container below the transfer point. At this moment, the driver plates or aprons, in combination with the transfer point and the container, form a shaft that is so narrow that even the smallest products cannot fall apart.
- An emergency running feature is also considered. If the side drives or the driver plates are no longer functional, it is possible to dismantle the driver plates in the passage (preferably four in total here - with six equally spaced driver plates on each side) and by sensory actuation of two stoppers, each of which Fix containers in the transfer or waiting position, at least to be able to continue in emergency mode.
- the sensors consist of five light barriers, an inductive sensor and a scanner. There is also a stopper so that the containers can be retracted individually. In addition, there are two further stoppers which determine the position of the containers in the event of an emergency operation, in which the drive plates are partially removed and are no longer functional.
- the invention enables the frictional entrainment of the container replaced by a form-fitting entrainment, specifically by the driver plates provided according to the invention, which can come into engagement with containers of the conveyor line to be clocked into the filling station.
- the driver plates engage behind the containers on the input side of the filling station and, if necessary, allow the containers to be accelerated from a standstill, with the intervention of a driver plate on the rear of the container, which faces away from the conveying direction. Since the containers are positioned positively and not by clamping the containers as in the prior art, not only comparatively stable containers such as, for example, made of plastic, but also containers made of more sensitive material, such as cardboard, can be used according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an arrangement of a conveyor line of a picking system in the area of a filling station, in which open containers conveyed on the conveyor line are filled with articles or products and can then be fed to a shipping station, with the containers passing laterally from the passage or a double toothed belt drive with vertical axes with driver plates, which are driven by a common actuator via a toothed belt, is provided to the side of the conveyor line,
- FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of Figure 1 in a schematic perspective view, the hopper and the buffer hopper are omitted,
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic top view of the arrangement according to FIG. 2 with the containers omitted
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic end view of the arrangement according to FIG. 2, the driver plate of the left double toothed belt drive being omitted on the left-hand side,
- Fig. 7 shows the arrangement of Figures 1 to 4 with the input and output side connection of a conveyor line and with representation of light barriers.
- a picking system which is of no interest here, with, for example, automatic lathes, article storage racks, storage and retrieval machines, etc., also includes an arrangement 1 of a conveyor line 2 for (shipping) containers or overcartons from a container supply station to a container shipping station with an intermediate filling station 4, in the picked article 3 or bulk goods are filled via a filling funnel 5 into a container 10, 11, 12 which is conveyed on the conveyor path 2 and is arranged below the filling funnel and is open at the top, as can be seen in particular from FIG.
- Articles 3 or the bulk material are fed to the hopper 5 in the direction of the arrow via an inclined central conveyor belt 30 P fed.
- the conveyor section 2 which in principle can be, for example, a continuous conveyor belt, a driving roller conveyor or a storage roller conveyor, has in the immediate area before, in and after the filling station 4 on the right and left, i.e. on both sides of the conveyor belt or the like a toothed belt or chain drive 6 with a common dynamic drive in the form of an intermittent actuator 7, which ensures a slip-free accelerated cycle of one or more containers located in the immediate area of the filling station 4.
- each of the side toothed belt or chain drives 6 has container driver plates 8, equally spaced from one another, six in the exemplary embodiment, by means of which containers 10, 11, 12 which are open at the top and arrive on the conveying path 2 occasionally both in the filling position and after filling from the filling position are clocked at an accelerated rate and are fed back to the conveyor section 2 on the output side.
- the circulating toothed belt or chain drive 6 on both broad sides of the conveyor line is constructed axially symmetrically to the conveyor line in such a way that assigned drive plates 8 on each side in the direction of conveyance F of the containers are at the same height or length.
- the conveyor section 2 has a stop 21 in front of the toothed belt or chain drive 6, which can be placed in the path of movement of the conveyed containers or can release the path of movement of the conveyed containers.
- the arrangement of the conveyor section 2 is such that, in particular, by adjacent te, driving plates 8 extending transversely to the conveying direction F, a filling shaft wall is formed between the filling funnel 5 and a container to be filled.
- the six driver plates 8 are in particular suspended at an equal distance in the associated rotating toothed belt drive, the distance corresponding to the container width in the conveying direction F.
- the driver plates 8 are thin-walled spring steel plates and have slots 9 in the vertical direction on the upper side.
- the driver plate 8 is shown in detail in Figures 5 and 6. It has a vertical fastening band with a holder 26 on the top for fastening to a toothed belt fastening point 25, in particular on the upper run 14 of the associated toothed belt drive 6, while the vertical fastening band is also fastened on the underside to the lower run 15 in an exact vertical orientation of a driving plate 8 or is supported laterally.
- Each toothed belt drive 6 is formed with a stationary vertical container guide wall 16 in the conveying direction F, which is arranged in particular between the upper and lower chord 14, 15 of the toothed belt drive 6, the container guide wall 16, optionally together with the upper chord 14, having a filling shaft wall in the area of the filling opening Direction of conveyance F forms.
- the filling funnel 5 can be designed as a buffer funnel or with a separate buffer funnel 17 which contains a horizontal slide 18 which closes and discloses the filling opening, the two-part horizontal slide being opened and otherwise closed only when the container 11 is in the filling position.
- An emergency running device is also provided for clocking in and clocking out the containers 10, 11, 12 to be filled in the event of failure of the operation of the toothed belt drive 6.
- the emergency running device comprises two lateral stoppers 19, 20 on each side, through which containers 10, 11, 12 running on a continuously driven conveyor belt through the filling station 4 in the filling position and in the upstream waiting position can preferably be positioned and released by side friction.
- the sensor system of the actuator 7 of the toothed belt drives 6 comprises five light barriers LSI, LS2, LS3, LS4, LS5, an inductive sensor 23 and a scanner 22 according to FIG. 7, the stopper 21 on the input side of the filling station in the conveying path separating the containers 10, 11, 12 concerned.
- a so-called indexer with a built-up buffer funnel is provided. From the left, the central belt or the ascending belt of the central belt conveys a product pile, which is transferred to the boxes or containers at the transfer point.
- the function of the buffer funnel here in particular provides for a two-part slide, with both slide halves being opened as soon as the box is positioned below. The advantage is that you can already fill the funnel over the slides during the positioning process of the box. When the box is positioned, the slide opens and the products fall down the positioned container.
- indexer here is that even if the boxes or containers are of the same height, a distance can be kept between the slider halves and the top edge of the box, e.g. 100mm, so that protruding products are not pinched when the slider halves are closed.
- the indexer works as follows.
- the indexer is completely empty.
- the carton travels to the light barrier LSI and travels up to the driver plate 8 at the time, on the right, according to FIG. 7.
- the driver plate is clocked to the position of the driver plate 8 shown in FIG. 7, on the left, ie into the filling position, in a form-fitting manner the container taken and read at the same time.
- a second following container now passes through the light barriers LSI and LS2, up to the drive plate 8, on the right, and occupies the light barrier LS3. If a third container arrives, the light barrier LSI must activate the stopper 21 because the light barriers LS3 and LS4 are occupied, and the container stops in front of the indexer.
- the LS2 light barrier is only a control light barrier.
- the indexer goes into trouble ("separating the containers"), otherwise a "crash” would occur if the container were transported further via the indexer.
- the indexer continues to cycle by one driver position.
- the container in the waiting position is thus placed in the filling position.
- the filled container travels out and is removed on the exit-side conveyor line 2 to a packaging station.
- the LS5 light barrier is also a control light barrier that controls the extending container.
- the indexer may only switch on again when this area is cleared.
- the inductive sensor directly detects the driver plates, whereby the following function is fulfilled: The fact that the drive is driven by a servo motor and a corresponding ramp, in particular an asymmetrical sine square ramp.
- the inductive sensor is aimed directly at the driver plate, which is not really related to the start and end, i.e. Each cycle is referenced once, and the servo motor controls the position of the driver plates via its entered ramp and counting cycles.
- the indexer is out of function. Corresponding drive plates in the passage must be dismantled to ensure free passage. In terms of controls, everything takes place as in normal operations.
- the light barrier LS3 and the light barrier LS4 are then trigger light barriers for the stoppers.
- the containers are forwarded by friction on the corresponding conveyor belt.
- the indexer and its inductive sensor are completely out of operation.
- the throughput is correspondingly lower because it is not possible to cycle through with positive locking and with high acceleration.
