Abstract

The invention relates to a conveyor device, in particular for sorting machines, in which, for unloading the conveyed objects, self-propelled belts 1 are provided. Each belt 1 is mounted on two rollers 2, 3, a motor causing this belt to move perpendicularly to the direction of advance in order to unload the objects which have previously been placed on the said belt.

Description

ta présente invention concerne un dispositif convoyeur se composant essentiellement d'une bande automotrice qui peut être appllquee et utilisée sur des machines de sélection et de triage de tous types. The present invention relates to a conveyor device essentially consisting of a self-propelled belt which can be applied and used on selection and sorting machines of all types.

Le dispositif conforme a l'invention constitue une unité autonome complètement indépendante, parfaitement adaptable a tout type d'installation transporteuse et capable de décharger les objets transportés en un point prédéterminé le long du trajet. Il existe des machines de triage connues se composant d'éléments transporteurs qui sont entrainés le long d'un trajet fixe et qui sont pourvus de ccmposants appropriés pour décharger, dans des postes collecteurs prédéterminés, les produits qui sont chargés sur les convoyeurs en des postes de chargement appropriés. The device according to the invention constitutes a completely independent autonomous unit, perfectly adaptable to any type of conveyor installation and capable of unloading the objects transported at a predetermined point along the route. There are known sorting machines consisting of conveyor elements which are driven along a fixed path and which are provided with suitable components for discharging, in predetermined collecting stations, the products which are loaded onto the conveyors in stations appropriate loading.

Le déchargement des objets s'effectue parfois au moyen d'une inclinaison du dispositif convoyeur, parfois par action d'un élément pousseur qui se déplace le long du convoyeur proprement dit, ou par des moyens semblables. La decharge peut être commandée soit électriquement soit mécaniquement, dans le dernier cas au moyen de cames ou d'organes semblables. The unloading of the objects is sometimes carried out by means of an inclination of the conveyor device, sometimes by the action of a pusher element which moves along the conveyor itself, or by similar means. The discharge can be controlled either electrically or mechanically, in the latter case by means of cams or similar members.

Dans tous les cas, le dispositif-convoyeur est pourvu de composants permettant son- montage sur la machine de triage et son raccord avec les éléments commandant le déchargement des objets. In all cases, the conveyor device is provided with components allowing its assembly on the sorting machine and its connection with the elements controlling the unloading of the objects.

En conséquence, chaque dispositif convoyeur doit être conçu en concordance avec l'installation spécifique sur laquelle il doit être monté. Consequently, each conveyor device must be designed in accordance with the specific installation on which it must be mounted.

Pour remedier aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus, la présente invention concerne un dispositif convoyeur se composant d'une bande comportant des moyens de propulsion autonomes, qui permettent-son installation sur différents types de machines de triage. To remedy the drawbacks mentioned above, the present invention relates to a conveyor device consisting of a band comprising autonomous propulsion means, which allow it to be installed on different types of sorting machines.

De cette manière, il est non seulement possible d'utiliser un dispositif convoyeur pour des machines différentes mais également de modifier l'appareillage déjà existant, en conservant tous les avantages résultant de l'utilisation de courroies tournantes pour décharger des objets. In this way, it is not only possible to use a conveyor device for different machines but also to modify the already existing equipment, retaining all the advantages resulting from the use of rotating belts to unload objects.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention seront mis en évidence dans la suite de la description, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'une machine de triage dans laquelle sont utilisées les bandes conformes à l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une coupe d'un dispositif convoyeur conrorme à l'invention,
- la figure 3 est une vue éclatée d'un dispositif convoyeur conforme à l'invention,
- la figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif convoyeur conforme à l'invention,
- les figures 5 à 9 représentent différents modes de réalisation de l'appareillage de transport et/ou de triage dans lequel des bandes conformes à l'invention peuvent être utilisées.Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be highlighted in the following description, given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a sorting machine in which the strips according to the invention are used,
FIG. 2 is a section through a conveyor device according to the invention,
FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a conveyor device according to the invention,
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a conveyor device according to the invention,
- Figures 5 to 9 show different embodiments of the transport and / or sorting equipment in which bands according to the invention can be used.

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention se compose d'une bande ou courroie transporteuse 1 (figure 2) qui est montée sur un couple de rouleaux 2 et 3 dont le premier est relié à un moteur 4. Le moteur 4 est du type à courant continu et à aimant permanent et il est approprié en particulier pour des applications de ce type à cause des bonnes caractéristiques d'accélération, ce qui permet le déchargement et le triage d'une grande quantité d'objets. The device according to the invention consists of a conveyor belt or belt 1 (Figure 2) which is mounted on a pair of rollers 2 and 3, the first of which is connected to a motor 4. The motor 4 is of the current type continuous and permanent magnet and it is particularly suitable for applications of this type because of the good acceleration characteristics, which allows the unloading and sorting of a large quantity of objects.

Les arbres des rouleaux 3 et 4 sont montés dans deux guides latéraux 5, qui sont maintenus dans un récipient 6 placé plus bas. Le récipient 6 comporte à sa partie supérieure deux éléments latéraux 7, ayant la forme de pattes ou de parties semblables et qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur en divergeant vers le haut. The shafts of the rollers 3 and 4 are mounted in two lateral guides 5, which are held in a container 6 placed below. The container 6 has at its upper part two lateral elements 7, having the shape of legs or similar parts and which extend outwardly diverging upwards.

La figure 4 est une vue en perspective montrant la configuration des dispositifs précités après qu'ils aient été installés. Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the above devices after they have been installed.

Dans la partie inférieure du récipient 6, il est prévu des dispositifs pour monter la bande tournante sur des moyens d'entraînement (désignés par 8 sur la figure 1) d'une machine de triage. Cet ensemble constitue par conséquent une unité autonome qui peut être installée dans n'importe quelle machine de triage et qui peut fonctionner indépendamment de celle-ci. In the lower part of the container 6, devices are provided for mounting the rotating belt on drive means (designated by 8 in FIG. 1) of a sorting machine. This assembly therefore constitutes a self-contained unit which can be installed in any sorting machine and which can operate independently thereof.

Les dispositifs se composant des bandes transporteuses conformes à l'invention peuvent être montés de préférencecôte à cotez de façon que lesparties supérieures des éléments 7 de deux bandes consecutives se touchent mutuellement, sans laisser subsister un intervalle entre une bande et la sui- vante (figure 2)
La bande peut être actionnée et entraînée d'une manière connue, par exemple au moyen de contacts ou d'organes semblables qui sont correctement répartis le long du trajet.The devices consisting of conveyor belts according to the invention can be mounted preferably side by side so that the upper parts of the elements 7 of two consecutive belts touch each other, without leaving an interval between a band and the following (figure 2)
The strip can be actuated and driven in a known manner, for example by means of contacts or similar members which are correctly distributed along the path.

Une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention consiste en ce qu'il est prévu un dispositif transporteur capable de décharger les objets d'une manière complètement indépendante de la machine de triage, de sorte qu'il est possible d'actionner ledit dispositif en tout endroit désiré le long du trajet. An essential feature of the invention is that there is provided a conveyor device capable of unloading the objects completely independently of the sorting machine, so that it is possible to actuate said device anywhere desired along the route.

En outre la forme des dispositifs décrits permet leur installation aisée sur différents types de machines de triage, par exemple une machine de triage dans laquelle les supports des dispositifs convoyeurs sont entraGnés par des guides placés -en surplomb où les dispositifs convoyeurs sont suspendus aux supports proprement dits, comme indiqué sur la figure 5. In addition, the shape of the devices described allows their easy installation on different types of sorting machines, for example a sorting machine in which the supports of the conveyor devices are driven by guides placed-overhanging where the conveyor devices are suspended from the supports properly. said, as shown in Figure 5.

Les bandes transporteuses selon l'invent ion peuvent même être mises en place sur des supports entraînés le long du trajet pré-établi au moyen de channes (figure 7) ou d'une courroie flexible (figure 9) ou bien elles peuvent être montes sur des supports équipés de leur propre moteur et se dé plaçant le long de guides appropriés, comme indiqué sur la figure 8. I1 est évident que les dimensions ainsi que les matériaux utilisés peuvent varier en fonction des différents impératifs d'utilisation.  The conveyor belts according to the invention can even be placed on supports driven along the pre-established path by means of chains (Figure 7) or a flexible belt (Figure 9) or they can be mounted on supports fitted with their own motor and moving along appropriate guides, as indicated in FIG. 8. It is obvious that the dimensions as well as the materials used can vary according to the different imperatives of use.
