Nederländerna (NL) (72) Pieter Aart Polderman, Haarlem, The Netherlands-Nederländerna (Nl) (74) Berggren Oy Ab (54) Device for moving cylindrical tanks transported in several parallel rows in one row - Anordning för att förflytta cylindriska behällare som flera parat Telia Rader account and own rad

The invention relates to a device for conveying upright cylindrical containers conveyed in a plurality of parallel rows on a feed path in one row on a single discharge path, the device having a transition area between the feed path and the discharge path converging in the direction of movement of the containers, comprising two movable elongate side guides. Such a device and its numerous embodiments are known. However, they always have certain drawbacks.

In a method of transporting containers, e.g., in a filling queue, where the containers must pass sequentially through a plurality of machines (e.g., filling machine, sealing machine, labeling machine), a certain buffer feed is often necessary before each machine to make the entire queue more efficient.

For this purpose, the feed path in front of such a machine is wide in width so that varying amounts of containers can be temporarily stored in it in several adjacent rows.

2 65599 From this position, they can be fed into the machine in a single continuous queue. The transfer of this slow wide stream of tanks to a single uninterrupted queue is called the "single line method".

In this one-row process, the side guides accelerate the containers with the guides positioned relative to each other so as to form a passageway that narrows and narrows, eventually forcing the containers to accelerate so that they eventually have to move sequentially.

Forward congestion of the tanks is an irregular movement, and the regular order in which the tanks are on the buffer track must be disordered. Therefore, it often happens that the tanks get trapped in this way so that the passage is blocked. This tendency to clog depends largely on the mutual shape of the tanks and the coefficient of friction with respect to the side guides and the feed path under the tanks.

Several methods have already been developed to remove dams.

For example, the side guides have been used in the form of a plurality of rollers along which the containers slide as they trap, causing a slight vibration in the containers. Vibrators have also been used when said rollers or flat side guides have been vibrated to keep the containers in constant motion.

In known devices of this type, the purpose of oscillating or oscillating controllers or the like is to prevent pitting of the fed containers. Instead, the device according to the invention, in which at least one of the side guides is adapted to reciprocate only in its own longitudinal direction at a frequency of less than 100 beats per minute, does not generate oscillation or oscillation but small and gradual movements or displacements of containers close to the guide. The combined effect of the latter and the increasing speed of the adjacent narrow tracks in the transition area results in the tanks constantly moving to the 3 65599 fastest moving track, i.e. the discharge track, without the reservoirs being dammed and the tracks below them slipping. In addition, the tanks are not subjected to heavy mechanical loads, so there is no risk of breakage or other damage.

Compared to the prior art, the invention has the advantage that the containers are not pressed against each other and are therefore not damaged, and that the noise caused by the containers is considerably reduced. This is achieved by the invention, which is characterized in that at least one of the side guides is adapted to reciprocate only in its own longitudinal direction at a frequency of less than 100 beats per minute and that the transition area consists of several adjacent, parallel narrow tracks moving in the same direction as the feed and exit lines. , which always increases at the next narrow path, and which feed path integrates into the narrow paths, while the path with the highest speed integrates into the discharge path.

With the device according to the invention, the pitting of the tanks between the side guides can be immediately determined by the relative movement of one or both side guides. The formation of a single row of tanks can therefore be constantly growing. In contrast to the known methods, in which the basic idea is to prevent the formation of damming, the idea of the invention is that the damming must be eliminated immediately after its occurrence.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which one embodiment of the invention is schematically shown.

In the drawing, Figure 1 shows a plan view of a device in which the containers end up in a single row, and Figure 2 shows a connection diagram applied to the movement of the side guides.

The drawing shows a feed path 1 comprising five parallel narrow paths a-e advancing in the direction indicated by the arrows at an ever-increasing speed relative to each other.

Claims (5)

4 65599 A large number of containers to be arranged stand on the feed path 1, and the containers in a single row are to end on the discharge path 3. The two side guides 4 and 5 are wedge-shaped between the paths 1 and 3. These side guides form a converging transition region, as described above. The guides 4 and 5 move back and forth at a steady speed by means of a double-acting pneumatic cylinder 6 with a piston 7 and an arm 8 connected by a spacer 9 to the side guide. The frame (not shown) supports the cylinders 6. A pneumatic pressure medium is used to reciprocate the pistons 7. For this purpose, there are two pipelines 10 and 11, a clutch slide 12 and two decelerating relays 13 and 14. With the arrangement according to Figure 2, the side guides 4 and 5 move back and forth in opposite phases. The duration of each movement can be adjusted by a relay 13 or 14. In the application example according to Figure 1, each guide 4, 5 is made as a railing comprising a plastic part slidable on a metal rail 15 in this direction. It should be noted that it is also possible to reciprocate only one of the two handrails, in particular the side guide 5. The relative movement can also be directed exclusively in the opposite direction to the feed direction indicated by the arrows. In that case, the side guide is formed by an endless belt. In each of the embodiments described above, the relative speed of movement of the side guide or guides depends on the air pressure in the tubes 10 and 11 and the adjusted mutual frequency, which is most preferably 45 to 100 strokes / minute. A device for moving vertically cylindrical containers (2) conveyed on a feed path (1) in a plurality of parallel rows in a single row on a single discharge path (3), the device having a transition area converging in the direction of movement of the containers between the feed path (1) and the discharge path (3). 5 comprises two movable elongate side guides (4, 5), characterized in that at least one of the side guides (4, 5) is arranged to reciprocate only in its own longitudinal direction at a frequency of less than 100 strokes per minute, and in that the transition area consists of several adjacent parallel narrow paths (ae) moving in the same direction as the feed (1) and discharge paths (3) at a speed which always increases for the next narrow path and which feed-path (1) integrates with the narrow paths, while the path with the highest speed (e) integrates with the discharge path (3).
