Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a conveyor roller, in particular a motor-driven conveyor roller.
  • WO 2018/109165 A1 discloses a motor-driven conveyor roller.
  • the conveyor roller includes a tube which is usually made of metal.
  • the tube is rotatably mounted on a frame about an axis of rotation.
  • the metallic components of the conveyor roller or the metallic components in the vicinity of the conveyor roller represent electromagnetic shielding.
  • the conveyor roller For maintenance purposes it can be useful to identify the conveyor roller. For example, the type or age, versions of the installed software or hardware, operating instructions for the conveyor roller can be determined, from which specific maintenance measures can be derived.
  • the identification of the conveyor roller should be reliable and not interfere with the function of the roller. Identification should preferably be possible when the conveyor roller is installed in a conveyor arrangement. The identification should be made possible by a reader that is not part of the control of the conveyor roller or a higher-level conveyor system.
  • the invention proposes equipping the conveyor roller with a communication arrangement.
  • the communication arrangement can provide information to a reading device in the vicinity of the conveyor roller.
  • the information to be provided can in particular
  • the communication arrangement is a passive arrangement.
  • the communication arrangement does not have its own power supply.
  • the to 1 Communication required Energy can be provided inductively by the reader during use.
  • the communication arrangement is in particular an NFC arrangement or an RFID arrangement.
  • the communication arrangement correspondingly comprises in particular an RFID tag or an NFC tag.
  • the communication arrangement is set up to communicate in accordance with the RFID or the NFC standard.
  • the standard HF ISO 14443 1-10 cm with frequency 14443 is used.
  • a badge is understood in particular as what is commonly referred to as a “tag”.
  • a badge includes in particular a communication chip with a data-processing function and an antenna for the wireless transmission of data provided by the communication chip.
  • the invention can be used with conveyor rollers with a maximum diameter of 60 mm, since in this case the lateral covering by the longitudinal beam is comparatively large. Reading out by moving the reading device to the conveying groove in the axial direction is prevented.
  • Drum motors can also be considered as conveyor rollers, but usually have a diameter of at least 80mm.
  • the lateral covering by the side member is comparatively small; alternatively, the RFID chip can be integrated into a comparatively large stub axle.
  • the reading device can also be used to read from the side/in the axial direction.
  • the directional information such as axial and radial relates to the axis of rotation of the conveyor roller.
  • the invention enables information from the conveyor roller to be read out despite the shielding components in the conveyor roller or in the vicinity of the conveyor roller when used as intended.
  • the reading can take place when the conveyor roller is installed, in particular when the conveyor roller is in operation.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a conveyor arrangement according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail of the conveying arrangement according to FIG. 1 in cross section;
  • FIG. 3 shows a section of the conveyor arrangement according to FIG. 1 in plan view with several
  • FIG. 4 shows the conveyor roller of the conveyor arrangement according to FIG. 1 in a side view
  • Fig. 5 shows schematically the view according to Figure 4 to clarify the degree of occlusion.
  • the frame has a plurality of legs 31 and two longitudinal beams 32 running parallel to one another.
  • the longitudinal beams 31 are aligned parallel to a conveying direction F.
  • conveying rollers 2 Arranged transversely to the conveying direction F and between the longitudinal supports 32 are conveying rollers 2, of which only one conveying roller 2 is shown in FIG. In one embodiment, several conveyor rollers 2 are part of a roller conveyor section. In one embodiment, the conveyor roller according to the invention serves as a support and/or deflection roller for a conveyor belt.
  • the conveyor rollers 2 are rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation A.
  • the axis of rotation A is aligned transversely to the conveying direction F.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of the conveyor arrangement in the area where the conveyor roller is connected to the longitudinal beam.
  • the conveyor roller has a metal tube 21, which forms a contact surface 21a for a conveyed item or for a conveyor belt.
  • the metal tube 21 is closed with an end cap 22 at the axial ends.
  • the end cap 22 is connected to a stationary shaft 24 via a pivot bearing 23 .
  • the shaft can be a stub shaft that does not extend over the entire axial length of the conveyor roller 2.
  • the shaft 24 is fixed to the side member 31 .
  • the shaft 24 can have a non-circular cross-section, as a result of which a shape-related anti-twist device can be produced in relation to the longitudinal member 31 .
  • the side member 32 is made of metal.
  • Both the longitudinal beam 32 and the metal tube 21 form a shield for electromagnetic signals.
  • the conveyor roller 2 has a communication arrangement 4 .
  • the communication arrangement 4 can be read using a reading device 5 .
  • the communication arrangement 4 can Contain information about the conveyor roller 2, in particular such as type designation, serial number, date of manufacture, etc.
  • the communication arrangement 4 can contain an individual link to a database entry, the content of which can be accessed via the Internet.
  • the communication arrangement 4 can be read while it is installed, also during operation, i.e. while the conveyor roller is rotating.
  • the communication arrangement 4 is arranged in a gap space 33 between the metal tube and the longitudinal member 31, viewed in plan view (FIG. 3).
  • a preferred transmission direction V of the communication arrangement 4, in particular of one or more antennas of the communication arrangement, is radial in relation to the axis of rotation A.
  • the communication arrangement 4 consequently uses the undisturbed gap space 33 to send the data from the conveyor roller 2 to the reading device 5 .
  • a preferred transmission direction V of the communication arrangement or antenna is understood to mean, in particular, a direction in which the communication arrangement, in particular its antenna, provides a higher transmission power than in another direction.
  • the transmission power of the communication arrangement is greater in the radial direction than in the axial direction.
  • the communication arrangement 4 is arranged completely within a diameter D of the contact surface 21a. The arrangement is thus protected by the metal tube from the conveyed goods or the conveyor belt.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to conveyor rollers with a comparatively small diameter.
  • FIG. 4 shows, in the case of small conveyor rollers there is a high probability that these are completely or largely covered by the shielding longitudinal member 31 in a side view.
  • FIG. 5 shows what is meant by the degree of lateral concealment.
  • the longitudinal member 31, which covers the roller in a side view, is shown in dashed lines.
  • the surface area that is covered by the longitudinal member is 90%, for example, since only 10% of the roller is visible from the side. Consequently, the degree of lateral occlusion is 90%.
  • Various possibilities are conceivable for enabling radiation in a plurality of radial directions.
  • the antenna of a single communication chip can be designed so that the radiation takes place more or less all around.
  • the communication arrangement can have a plurality of
  • the communication arrangement can be read out independently of the current rotational position of the conveyor roller.
  • the communication arrangement 4 can be ring-shaped in order to be arranged coaxially around the shaft.
  • the communication arrangement 4 can be in the form of a sticker and can be glued onto the end cap 22 . 5 reference list
