Definitions

  • the speed of the trolley is adjusted depending on the existing distance or a possible change in distance to the leading trolley by the trolley control.
  • trailing and leading do not mean that a correspondingly designated trolley in motion have to be. Even a stationary trolley can be trailing or leading to a correspondingly positioned further transport vehicle.
  • the basic safety distance to be maintained between two transport vehicles is thus relatively large, which has an overall negative effect on the capacity of the conveyor system, ie on the number of transport vehicles per route length.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that bidirectional communication between trailing and leading trolleys is not absolutely necessary in order to allow, at least in certain sections of the rail system, that the safety distance between two trolleys can be kept smaller than the basic safety distance. Rather, it is sufficient if only the trailing dolly receives information about the leading dolly.
  • the invention is based in particular on the finding that, at least in certain, especially - but not only - in rectilinear section of the rail system, the distance between two moving dolly smaller can be as the basic safety distance, as well as the moving leading trolley in a braking operation only covers a certain braking distance until it stops. This will be explained again in more detail below.
  • At least one 1-bit signal can be generated by means of the signal transmission device, by means of which two different states of the at least one motion parameter of the preceding transport carriage can be displayed, in particular the presence or absence of a specific motion parameter.
  • the signal transmitting device of the leading trolley comprises a first transmitting unit and a second transmitting unit, for example, information on two movement parameters of the leading trolley can be transmitted to the trailing trolley.
  • the transmitting device can advantageously be kept very simple, since it is sufficient if in each case a 1-bit signal can be generated with the first transmitting unit and with the second transmitting unit, so that by means of the first transmitting unit two different states of a first movement parameter and by means of the second Sending unit two different states of a second motion parameter of the leading trolley can be displayed.
  • the signal receiving device of the trailing trolley comprises a first receiving unit, which cooperates with the first transmitting unit, and a second receiving unit, which cooperates with the second transmitting unit.
  • the communication system can be kept particularly simple if it works optically and / or acoustically.
  • the signal transmission device or optionally the first transmission unit and / or the second transmission unit emits IR radiation. Also light of other wavelengths, also in the visible range, can be used.
  • the signal transmission device or optionally the first transmission unit and / or the second transmission unit emits ultrasonic waves. Also tones of other frequencies, also in the audible range, can be used.
  • the conveyor system is designed in the manner of an electric overhead conveyor or a floor conveyor system, it can be used in many ways.
  • FIG. 1 is denoted by 10 in total one designed in the manner of a monorail conveyor system for transporting objects, of which a section is shown.
  • the conveyor system 10 comprises a guide rail system 12 with a mounting rail 14.
  • the support rail 14 is formed in a conventional manner as an I-profile and suspended in a conventional manner to a support structure not shown here.
  • the conveyor system 10 also includes a plurality of trolleys 16, of which in FIG. 1 three trolleys 16 are shown and which are movable on the support rail 14.
  • sliding lines which serve the power supply of the trolley 16 and the signal transmission from a non-own shown central control to this.
  • Such sliding lines and the control of the trolley 16 correspond to the prior art.
  • Each transport carriage 16 comprises a support rail 14 encompassing chassis 20, which supports at least one rolling on top of the support rails 14 support roller 22 which receives the transported by the respective transport carriage 16 load.
  • Each trolley 16 is driven by means of an electric motor 24, the above mentioned Conductor lines energized in the usual manner and is controlled by the aforementioned central control as usual via a trolley controller 48.
  • the chassis 20 is protected by measures known per se against tilting and tilting against a vertical and a horizontal plane.
  • each comprise a transport hanger 26, which is connected via a coupling member 28 to the chassis 20 of the trolley 16.
  • Each trolley 16 comprises a distance sensor 30, by means of which the distance to a mounted on the leading trolley 16 reflector 32 - and thus to the leading trolley 16 itself - can be determined. This is in FIG. 1 indicated by a dotted line between two consecutive trolley 16. Distance sensor / reflector systems are known per se, so it need not be discussed further here.
  • the conveyor system 10 also includes a wireless communication system 34, by means of which a leading trolley 16 with this trailing trolley 16 can communicate unidirectionally in the direction of the leading trolley 16 to the trailing trolley 16. This is indicated by dashed arrows that do not bear a special reference number.
  • each trolley 16 carries a signal transmitting device 36 and a signal receiving device 38. These are arranged so that the signal receiving device 38 of a trailing trolley 16 can each cooperate with the signal transmitting device of this leading trolley 16.
  • the signal transmission device 36 comprises two transmission units 40, 42 in the form of an IR radiation source or an ultrasound source. Also, different types of transmitters can be used at the same time, e.g., an IR transmitter 40 may be combined with an ultrasonic transmitter 42.
  • the signal receiving device 38 comprises two receiving units 44, 46, the first receiving unit 44 cooperating with the first transmitting unit 40 of the associated preceding transport trolley 16 and the second receiving unit 46 with the second transmitting unit 42 of the associated preceding trolley 16.
  • the receiving units 44, 46 are designed accordingly as IR sensor or ultrasonic sensor.
  • the communication system 34 thus operates optically and / or acoustically.
  • Each transmit unit 40, 42 is only capable of generating a 1-bit signal by either emitting an IR or ultrasonic signal or not.
  • the trolley controller 48 is stored for which movement parameters of the respective preceding trolley 16 is the presence or absence of a signal. As explained above, the maximum acceleration and the maximum speed of the respectively preceding carrying vehicle 16 come into consideration as movement parameters.
  • the conveyor system 10 now works as follows: As discussed above, the distance between two moving dolly 16 may be smaller than the basic safety distance, as well as the respective leading trolley 16 only covers a certain braking distance in a braking operation until it stops.
  • the foremost transport vehicle As soon as the foremost transport vehicle approaches the present conveyor system 10, it transmits to the trailing transport vehicle 16 the information that it is now accelerating at maximum acceleration by activating the transmission unit 40.
  • the trailing trolley 16 can also approach in this case, while maintaining a relation to the above-mentioned basic safety distance reduced tolerance distance to the leading trolley 16 with a maximum acceleration corresponding to that of the leading trolley 16.
  • the permissible tolerance distance is stored in the trolley controller 48.
  • the trolley 16 following the foremost transport carriage 16 approaches it in turn sends a signal to the trailing trolley 16 that it is now starting with maximum acceleration. This cascade is continued until the last trolley 16, so that all transport vehicles located in the block 16 start almost without delay at the same time and with maximum acceleration while maintaining a small tolerance distance, which may be smaller than the basic safety distance.
  • the associated transmitting unit 40 is deactivated and the receiving unit 44 of the trailing trolley receives no signal.
  • the basic safety distance stored in the trolley controller 48 picks up again, ie the corresponding trailing trolley 16 is braked until the distance sensor 30 indicates that the required basic safety distance has been reached.
  • leading trolley 16 is decelerated with maximum delay, this is automatically done for the trailing trolley 16, otherwise the distance to the leading trolley 16 would be too low.
  • an active transmission unit 40 of a leading trolley 16 means that it travels at maximum speed. Since two consecutive trolleys 16 may require the same braking distance and can decelerate with the same strength, the distance between the two trolleys 16 may be below the basic safety distance at their maximum speed.
  • the signal unit 40 is deactivated. In this case, too, the basic safety distance, that is, the trailing trolley 16 is automatically decelerated again until the required basic safety distance is reached. If the leading trolley 16 is decelerated with maximum delay, this is done automatically here for the trailing Dolly 16, otherwise the distance to the leading dolly would be too low.
  • both transmit units 40, 42 of the signal transmitter 36 are used, e.g. the maximum acceleration and the maximum speed of the preceding dolly 16 are used as movement parameters.
  • an active transmitting unit 40 means, for example, that the relevant transporting carriage 16 maximally accelerates
  • an active transmitting unit 42 means that the transporting carriage 16 in question travels at maximum speed.
  • the dolly 16 have accelerated to their maximum speed in the train with maximum acceleration, although the signal unit 40 is deactivated and the signal ends, after which the leading dolly 16 accelerates maximally.
  • the leading trolley 16 When reaching its maximum speed of the leading trolley 16 can, however, transmit this to the trailing trolley 16 by its second transmitting unit 42 is activated. As long as the trailing trolley 16 receives the information that the leading trolley 16 is traveling at maximum speed, the reduced relative to the basic safety distance tolerance distance can be maintained.
  • the communication system 30 can be used without great structural complexity, in particular in straight sections of the guide rail system 12, since there a straightforward signal transmission can be reliably maintained.
  • FIG. 2 is shown as a second embodiment, a conveyor system 110 in the manner of a Boden ussystems, wherein the FIG. 1 corresponding components bear the same reference numerals plus 100.
  • the rail system 112 comprises a two-track floor rail 150.
  • the trolleys 152 have a chassis 154, which supports rollers 156, which run in the bottom rail 150.
