Abstract

The transport installation moves oblong objects e.g bars or lengths of tubing perpendicular to their length. It consists of two similar helicoidal screws (20) positioned parallel to the direction of movement, and spaced apart by approx. the object length. The screws move apart perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the bars. The screw width is greater than that of the object. There is also a pair of wheels (7), with their shafts parallel to the objects being transported. On the peripheries of the wheels are notches (8) which receive the objects and feed them under gravity onto the transporting screws.

Description

Installation de transport d'objets oblongs
La présente invention se rapporte aux installations de transport d'objets oblongs suivant une direction perpendiculaire à leur longueur. Ces objets sont notamment des tubes, des tuyaux, des barres, des aiguilles et, d'une manière générale, tout objet oblong dont les faces latérales d'au moins un tronçon admettent un axe de répétition.
Installation for transporting oblong objects
The present invention relates to installations for transporting oblong objects in a direction perpendicular to their length. These objects are in particular tubes, pipes, bars, needles and, in general, any oblong object whose lateral faces of at least one section admit a repetition axis.

L'installation suivant l'invention fonctionne automatiquement, tout en étant d'un agencement très simple. Elle permet d'envoyer automatiquement à un poste de travail les objets un à un. The installation according to the invention operates automatically, while being of a very simple arrangement. It allows objects to be sent automatically to a workstation one by one.

L'installation suivant l'invention comprend deux vis hélicoEdales identiques, parallèles à la direction de transport, à moindre distance l'une de l'autre que la longueur des objets, et dont les filetages se déduisent l'un de l'autre par une translation perpendiculairement à la direction de transport. The installation according to the invention comprises two identical helical screws, parallel to the direction of transport, at a lesser distance from each other than the length of the objects, and whose threads are deduced from each other by a translation perpendicular to the direction of transport.

Le transport est plus sûr quand la largeur du filetage est supérieure à celle de l'objet. Transport is safer when the thread width is greater than that of the object.

De préférence, l'installation comprend une roue, notamment un tambour, assurant une assise suffisant aux objets, ou deux roues plus étroites à distance l'une de l'autre. L'axe de la roue est parallèle au plan défini par les deux vis. La roue est munie à la périphérie d'encoches de réception des objets. Elle est placée par rapport aux vis de manière à relâcher par gravité sur les vis les objets pris dans les encoches. Preferably, the installation comprises a wheel, in particular a drum, ensuring sufficient seating for the objects, or two narrower wheels at a distance from each other. The wheel axis is parallel to the plane defined by the two screws. The wheel is provided at the periphery with notches for receiving objects. It is placed in relation to the screws so as to release objects caught in the notches by gravity on the screws.

L'installation peut comprendre un magasin à objets, dont une ouverture inférieure débouche sur le quart supérieur amont de la roue et il y a un mécanisme donnant un mouvement de va et vient, de préférence horizontal, au magasin et entraînant la roue en rotation en synchronisme avec ce mouvement de va et vient. Toute la chaîne d'alimentation, du magasin aux vis en passant par la roue à encoches, fonctionne alors automatiquement et en cadence, puisque les vis s'adaptent à toutes les cadences et puisque les mouvements du magasin et de la roue sont accordés. The installation may include an object magazine, a lower opening of which opens onto the upper upstream quarter of the wheel and there is a mechanism giving the magazine back and forth movement, preferably horizontal, and driving the wheel in rotation in synchronism with this back and forth movement. The entire supply chain, from the magazine to the screws passing through the notched wheel, then operates automatically and in cadence, since the screws adapt to all cadences and since the movements of the magazine and the wheel are tuned.

La figure 2 en est une vue en plan, et
La figure 3 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne III-III de la figure 2.
In the accompanying drawing, given only by way of example
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the installation according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and
Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III-III of Figure 2.

L'installation comprend un bâti 1 en forme de U. L'arrière du bâti est traversé par un arbre 2, dont une extrémité, dépassant du bâti 1, sert de prise de mouvement. Le sommet du bâti 1 forme glissière pour un magasin 3 à aiguilles A. Le magasin 3 comprend deux rampes 4, s'étendant perpendiculairement aux aiguilles A, de manière à provoquer le roulement de celle-ci, perpendiculairement à leur axe longitudinal, de gauche à droite à la figure 1. Les rampes 4 descendent de la gauche vers la droite à la figure 1 au delà d'une ouverture délimitée par un dispositif 5 de réglage de débit, qui peut être plus ou moins abaissé. La largeur des ram pes 4 peut être réglée à l'aide de deux vis et de deux colonnes 6. The installation comprises a U-shaped frame 1. The rear of the frame is crossed by a shaft 2, one end of which protrudes from the frame 1, serves as a power take-off. The top of the frame 1 forms a slide for a magazine 3 with needles A. The magazine 3 comprises two ramps 4, extending perpendicular to the needles A, so as to cause the rolling of the latter, perpendicular to their longitudinal axis, from the left to the right in FIG. 1. The ramps 4 descend from the left to the right in FIG. 1 beyond an opening delimited by a device 5 for adjusting the flow, which can be more or less lowered. The width of the ram pes 4 can be adjusted using two screws and two columns 6.

Les rampes 4 débouchent de part et d'autre du quart supérieur amont de deux roues 7. A la périphérie, les roues 7 sont munies d'encoches 8, dans chacune desquelles tombe une aiguille A. L'axe 9 commun des roues 7 tourillonne dans le bâti et est parallele aux aiguilles A. The ramps 4 open on either side of the upper upstream quarter of two wheels 7. At the periphery, the wheels 7 are provided with notches 8, in each of which a needle A falls. The common axis 9 of the wheels 7 journals in the frame and is parallel to needles A.

Sur cet axe 9 est calé une roue 10 à rochet, qui entraîne pas à pas les roues 7 à encoches dans le sens direct.On this axis 9 is wedged a ratchet wheel 10, which drives step by step the wheels 7 with notches in the direct direction.

Sur l'arbre 2 sont calées deux cames 11, 12. On the shaft 2 are wedged two cams 11, 12.

La came 11 coopère avec un galet 13, d'axe horizontal parallèle aux aiguilles A, solidaire en translation horizontale du magazin 3, de manière à communiquer à celui-ci un mouvement de va et vient contrarié par deux ressorts 14. La came 12 actionne l'extrémité d'un levier 15, monté pivotant sur un axe 16 et articulé à l'autre extrémite à un cliquet 17 s'engageant dans la roue 10 à rochet. Le levier 15 est rappelé par un ressort 18.The cam 11 cooperates with a roller 13, with a horizontal axis parallel to the needles A, integral in horizontal translation with the magazine 3, so as to communicate to it a back and forth movement opposed by two springs 14. The cam 12 actuates the end of a lever 15, pivotally mounted on an axis 16 and articulated at the other end to a pawl 17 engaging in the ratchet wheel 10. The lever 15 is returned by a spring 18.

Le quart supérieur aval des roues 7 à encoches est recouvert d'un capot 19 empêchant les aiguilles A prises dans les encoches 8 d'en sortir. Les roues 7 relachent les aiguilles A sur deux vis 20 helicoidales identiques, parallèles à la direction de transport des aiguilles A (donc perpendiculaires à celles-ci), à moindre distance l'une de l'autre que la longueur des aiguilles A et dont les filetages, de largeur supérieure à celle des aiguilles A, se déduisent l'un de l'autre par une translation perpendiculairement à la direction de transport. L'axe 9 est parallèle au plan défini par les deux vis 20 et se trouve à un niveau un peu supérieur à celui-ci. Les vis 20 sont de part et d'autre des roues 7. Elles sont entraînées en rotation autour de leur axe dans le même sens par des moyens non représentés. The upper downstream quarter of the notched wheels 7 is covered with a cover 19 preventing the needles A caught in the notches 8 from coming out. The wheels 7 release the needles A on two identical helical screws 20, parallel to the direction of transport of the needles A (therefore perpendicular to them), at a lesser distance from each other than the length of the needles A and whose the threads, of width greater than that of the needles A, are deduced from each other by a translation perpendicular to the direction of transport. The axis 9 is parallel to the plane defined by the two screws 20 and is located at a level slightly higher than this. The screws 20 are on either side of the wheels 7. They are rotated about their axis in the same direction by means not shown.

On met les aiguilles A dans le magasin 3.  We put needles A in magazine 3.

On règle l'ouverture en abaissant ou en relevant le dispositif 5. On entrain l'arbre 2 en rotation. La came 11 repousse le galet 13 à l'encontre du ressort 14 et imprime ainsi au magasin 3 un mouvement vibrant de va et vient qui décolle, si nécessaire, les aiguilles
A les unes des autres et permet leur passage dans l'ouverture, cependant que la came 12 fait tourner cran à cran les roues 7 à encoches 8 en agissant sur le levier 15 et sur le cliquet 17.
The opening is adjusted by lowering or raising the device 5. The shaft 2 is rotated. The cam 11 pushes the roller 13 against the spring 14 and thus prints to the magazine 3 a vibrating movement back and forth which takes off, if necessary, the needles
A each other and allows their passage in the opening, while the cam 12 rotates notch to notch the wheels 7 with notches 8 by acting on the lever 15 and on the pawl 17.

Les roues 7 prennent ainsi une aiguille 4 dans chaque encoche 8 arrivant en regard de l'ouverture du magasin 3 et relachent cette aiguille A sur les vis 20. Les aiguilles A sont prises dans les filetages des deux vis 20 et sont transportés vers la droite à la figure 1.  The wheels 7 thus take a needle 4 in each notch 8 arriving opposite the opening of the magazine 3 and release this needle A on the screws 20. The needles A are caught in the threads of the two screws 20 and are transported to the right in Figure 1.
