Definitions
- Insertion unit arrangement of an insertion unit and method for insertion of a transported item
- the invention relates to an insertion unit, an arrangement of an insertion unit and methods for insertion of a transport item.
- Single-cycle units are often used to transfer or separate transport goods provided on a conveyor route, e.g. packages, containers or containers, into a second conveyor route or to introduce the transport goods.
- a conveyor route e.g. packages, containers or containers
- the goods to be transported or the stream of goods to be transported must be braked and/or stowed by the single-cycle unit.
- the transported goods can be or have general cargo.
- Such a device is known, for example, from DE 41 14 475 A1, which discloses lateral bristle bands for stowing piece goods. From DE 103 17 417 A1 a device is known which discloses braking surfaces for lateral braking of the transported goods.
- the piece goods are braked laterally, whereby forces act laterally on the piece goods, which can cause a lateral displacement of the piece goods.
- the braking force or storage capacity of the known devices may not be sufficient.
- the object of the present invention to provide a single-cycle unit, an arrangement thereof and a corresponding method which has an improved braking and/or accumulation effect.
- the present invention exerts forces laterally to the conveying direction on what is to be accumulated or Goods to be braked are avoided. This means that the transported goods can be or are subjected to less stress when stowing and/or braking.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to an insertion unit for insertion of goods to be transported, the insertion unit having a conveyor section, the insertion unit having a pressing unit arranged above the conveyor section with a running belt, the running direction of the running belt being arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor section is, whereby the belt running around is set up to exert a normal force on the transported goods when a transported item is transported from the conveyor section under the pressing unit.
- the applied normal force increases the frictional force between the transported goods and the conveyor section in the area of the pressing unit. This increases the braking effect of the single-stroke unit. This means that a lot of transport goods can be stowed better using the single-cycle unit. In addition, slipping of the transported goods between the pressing unit and the conveyor path relative to the conveyor path can be reduced or completely avoided.
- the normal force can point essentially in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the transported goods or can be essentially perpendicular to it.
- the transported goods can be or have a cardboard box, a package, a package, a piece of luggage, a tray, a container or a container.
- the container can include, for example, bottles, e.g. PET bottles or glass bottles, or cans.
- the transported goods can be or have general cargo.
- the revolving belt can run in a revolving direction, so that the underside or the side of the revolving belt facing the conveyor route and/or the transported goods is moved in the direction of the conveyor route.
- the rotating belt can be set up to rotate at a rotational speed which can essentially correspond to a conveying speed of the conveying line. It can be provided that the rotating belt rotates at the conveying speed of the transported goods. This means that the rotating belt exerts essentially no frictional force on the transported goods.
- the belt running around can essentially only exert a normal force on the goods being transported. If the speed of the conveyor line and/or the speed of the transported goods changes, provision can be made to adapt or adjust the rotational speed of the moving belt accordingly, in particular when the conveyor line and/or the transported goods are accelerated or braked.
- the rotational speed of the moving belt can be controllable or set.
- the rotational speed of the moving belt can be variable.
- the rotational speed of the moving belt can be at least temporarily different from the conveying speed of the conveying line.
- the rotational speed of the moving belt can, at least at times, essentially correspond to the conveying speed of the conveying line.
- the pressing unit and/or the belt running around is dimensioned such that a normal force is exerted on more than one transport item.
- the pressing unit and/or the rotating belt can be dimensioned such that more than one transport item can be arranged between the pressing unit and/or the rotating belt and the conveyor line, for example one behind the other on the conveyor line, possibly with gaps between them transport goods.
- the single-cycle unit can be set up to stop transported goods and/or to stow transported goods.
- the single-acting unit can brake a transport item and/or a quantity of transport goods or at least a part of these, stop and/or accelerate.
- the single-cycle unit can be set up to separate one or more goods to be transported from a quantity of goods to be transported.
- the quantity of transported goods can include a number of transported goods arranged one behind the other on the conveyor route.
- the pressing unit can be height-adjustable, and a distance between the running belt and the conveyor section can be adjustable. Depending on the distance, a different normal force can arise from the rotating belt on the transported goods.
- the insertion unit can have an adjustment unit, which can be set up to adjust the height of the pressing unit above the conveyor path. It can be provided that the height of the pressing unit above the conveyor section and/or the distance between the rotating belt and conveyor section is changed during operation, for example if a quantity of transported goods with transported goods of different dimensions, in particular of different heights, is to be clocked and/or separated.
- the adjustment unit can have a motor.
- the motor may be or include a servo motor.
- the adjustment unit can have a handwheel or a crank, so that the height or the distance can be adjusted manually.
- the conveyor line can have at least two conveyor belts that run parallel in sections, whereby the pressing unit can extend laterally above the conveyor belts and can each have a running belt arranged above the respective conveyor belts.
- the insertion unit can have a pressing unit with a rotating belt for each conveyor belt, which can be arranged accordingly above the respective conveyor belt.
- the moving belt can be inclined at least in sections relative to the conveying path in the conveying direction. Due to the inclination in some Embodiments ensure that in the event of a tilting of the transported goods, for example due to a speed difference between the rotational speed of the moving belt and the conveying speed of the conveyor section, the moving belt contacts the transported goods on its top. It can be provided that the inclination defines a maximum tilting angle. In some embodiments, the inclination may be selected or adjusted depending on the speed difference.
- the inclination of the moving belt can be adjustable relative to the conveyor path. Provision can be made to change and/or adjust the inclination during operation of the single-cycle unit.
- a threshold e.g. a height difference to a further conveyor belt or conveyor section arranged behind the insertion unit.
- the belt running around can have a contact surface for contacting the transported goods and for exerting the normal force with an area of at least 0.1 m 2 .
- the running belt can have a contact surface for contacting the transported goods and for exerting the normal force with an area of at least 0.2 m 2 .
- the circulating belt can have a contact surface for contacting the transported goods and for exerting the normal force with an area of at least 0.5 m 2 .
- the term contact surface can mean the surface that contacts the transported goods. If the belt running around contacts several transport goods, the contact area can also mean the sum of the surfaces in contact with the respective transport goods.
- the term contact surface can also mean the side of the circulating belt facing the conveyor section. The size of the contact surface can depend on the type and dimensions of the goods to be transported.
- a further aspect of the present invention relates to an arrangement of an insertion unit described above and a second conveyor section, wherein the insertion unit is arranged in front of the second conveyor section in the conveying direction.
- the conveying section of the single-cycle unit and the second conveying section can have a different conveying speed.
- the single-cycle unit can be set up to transfer one or more transport goods to or feed them into the second conveyor line. There may be a time offset or time interval between the handover of one or more transport goods and one or more further transport goods by the single-cycle unit.
- the single-acting unit can brake, stop, stow and/or accelerate the transported goods or the quantity of transported goods accordingly.
- the second conveyor section can include a conveyor belt.
- the second conveyor section can be part of a section or a station, e.g. a treatment station for treating the transported goods or a palletizer.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for clocking a transported item of a transported item, with the following steps: a. Providing a quantity of transported goods with a conveyor route, the transported goods of the transported quantity being arranged one behind the other on the conveyor route; b. Braking an item to be transported on the conveyor line by stopping the conveyor line while applying a normal force to the item to be transported by means of a circulating belt of a pressure unit arranged above the conveyor line, the rotating belt contacting the item to be transported at least during braking; c. Introducing the goods to be transported into a second conveyor section, which is arranged behind the pressing unit in the conveying direction of the conveyor section, while moving the conveyor section.
- the method can be carried out with a single-ended unit and/or an arrangement described above.
- steps b) to c) can be repeated in order to clock in another transport item from the quantity of goods to be transported.
- the transported goods can be or become isolated.
- it can also be provided to deliver or introduce more than one transport item immediately one after the other onto the second conveyor line, and to repeat steps b) to c) only after a predetermined number of transport items have been delivered.
- the rotating belt can rotate at a rotating speed that can be essentially the same as the conveying speed of the conveying line.
