Definitions

  • the gripping and transferring member 51 is disposed above the conveyor 30 so it can release the respective article 100 downwards onto the conveyor 30.
  • the unit 1 also comprises pneumatic suction shutoff means (not illustrated) operating at least when the gripping and transferring member 51 is positioned at the releasing position, thereby making it easier for the article 100 to be released onto the conveyor 30.
  • the openings of the retaining portion 52 are each connectable to a source of pressurized air at least when the gripping and transferring member 51 is positioned at the releasing position so as to expel the article 100 from the retaining portion 52.
  • shutting off the suction and/or switching between suction and blowing are performed by specific switching valves mounted on a pneumatic supply duct (not illustrated) communicating with the gripping and transferring member 51.
  • the gripping and releasing positions are also preferably spaced from each other by a rotation of 90° of the gripping and transferring member 51 about the axis of rotation X.
  • the aforementioned configuration of the receiving portion 10 and selecting means 50 allows directing each article 100 individually and controlledly to the first or the second path P1, P2 while keeping the articles 100 in the same order as in the feed channel 11.
  • each seat 31 is shorter than the length of each article 100 so that the ends of the article 100 accommodated in the seat 31 jut outward from the seat 31.
  • the conveyor 30 moves intermittently in steps equal to the spacing between the seats 31. That way, after receiving an article 100, the conveyor 30 is made to advance by a length sufficient to bring the next seat 31 to a position suitable for receiving the next article 100 from the gripping and transferring member 51, specifically a position where the seat 31 and the retaining portion 52 of the gripping and transferring member 51 are aligned.
  • a guiding member 33 ( Figure 5A ) positioned in the releasing zone under the gripping and transferring member 51 when the latter is at the releasing position.
  • the guiding member 33 may have one or more guide surfaces 34, specifically a pair of surfaces 34 converging to form a V shape at the opposite ends of the articles 100, hence on opposite sides of the seat 31 of the conveyor 30 intended to receive the article 100.
  • the guide surfaces 34 direct each article 100 into the respective seat 31, thus optimizing the precision of its release.
  • the guiding member 33 is fixed relative to the releasing zone.
  • the guiding member 33 might be movable towards and away from the releasing zone to perform the aforesaid guiding function and then allow the article 100 to be moved away by the conveyor 30.
  • the invention achieves the preset aims, overcoming the disadvantages of the prior art.
