The Replacing the conveyor belt requires a total of a variety of disassembly activities including the separation of electrical connections as well as suitable lifting and Holding devices for the removed tobacco storage unit or the dismantled Vertical conveyor.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Verteilervorrichtung und eine Produktspeichereinheit bereitzustellen, bei der Wartungsarbeiten an der Fördereinrichtung, insbesondere die Auswechselung des Transportbandes, einfach und schnell durchführbar sind.The object of the present invention is to provide a distributor device and to provide a product storage unit during maintenance on the conveyor, in particular the replacement of the conveyor belt, simple and fast are feasible.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche, insbesondere dadurch, daß die Fördereinrichtung modulartig aus der Aufnahmeeinheit heraus verschiebbar ist. In der herausgeschobenen Position der Fördereinrichtung kann das Transportband mit geringem Aufwand ausgewechselt werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Verschiebbarkeit der Fördereinrichtung steht im Gegensatz zu der im Stand der Technik bekannten Schwenkbarkeit der Fördereinrichtung, weil in der ausgeschwenkten Stellung der Fördereinrichtung des Standes der Technik das Transportband teilweise nicht ausreichend zugänglich ist und insbesondere eine Auswechselung des Transportbandes nicht möglich ist. Ein Ausbau der Fördereinrichtung, d.h. eine Trennung von der Aufnahmeeinheit bzw. von der Verteilervorrichtung, ist erfindungsgemäß nicht erforderlich. Die Verschiebung der Fördereinrichtung kann von einem Bediener nach dem Lösen etwaiger Verriegelungsmittel ohne weitere Hilfsmittel, insbesondere ohne separate Hebe- und Haltevorrichtungen für den ausgebauten Steilförderer, durchgeführt werden.The invention achieves this object by the features of the independent claims, in particular in that the conveyor module like from the receiving unit is displaceable out. In the pushed-out position of the conveyor can the conveyor belt can be replaced with little effort. The inventive Displaceability of the conveyor is in contrast to the in the Technik known pivoting of the conveyor, because in the swung out Position of the conveyor of the prior art, the conveyor belt partially is not sufficiently accessible and in particular a replacement of the conveyor belt not possible. An expansion of the conveyor, i. a break from the Receiving unit or of the distributor device, according to the invention is not required. The displacement of the conveyor may be performed by an operator after the Loosen any locking means without further aids, especially without separate Lifting and holding devices for the dismantled steep conveyor to be performed.

Modulartig bedeutet, daß die Fördereinrichtung insgesamt als Funktionseinheit aus der Aufnahmeeinheit heraus bewegbar ist. Vorzugsweise weist die Fördereinrichtung einen Fördererrahmen zum Stützen des Transportbands bzw. entsprechender Laufrollen auf. Modulartig bedeutet dann, daß der Fördererrahmen mit dem Transportband aus der Aufnahmeeinheit heraus verschiebbar ist.Modular means that the conveyor as a whole as a functional unit of the Recording unit is movable out. Preferably, the conveyor has a Conveyor frame for supporting the conveyor belt or corresponding rollers on. Modular means then that the conveyor frame with the conveyor belt from the Recording unit is displaced out.

Bei dem Produkt kann es sich insbesondere um Tabak oder um Tabakzusätze handeln.The product may be, in particular, tobacco or tobacco additives.

Die Aufnahmeeinheit kann insbesondere eine Produktspeichereinheit, beispielsweise eine Tabakspeichereinheit der Verteilervorrichtung sein. Dies ist aber nicht zwingend der Fall.
