Description
SPECIFICATION
Apparatus for arranging wafer slices in spaced apart rows or in a line, in which said wafer slices are spaced apart
Background of the invention
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to apparatus for arranging wafer slices in spaced apart rows, wherein said wafer slices are fed in a plurality of juxtaposed lines, in which consecutive wafer slices in each line abut and possible adhere to each other at their trailing and leading faces, respectively, which apparatus comprises a feeding conveyor for conveying said wafer slices in said lines with abutting trailing and leading faces into engagement with a stop, which is movable out of the path of said wafer slices, preferably in a downward direction, which feeding conveyor is operable to transfer said wafer slices to a succeeding delivering conveyor past said stop when said stop has been removed from said path, said delivering conveyor being operable at least adjacent to said stop at a higher velocity than said feeding conveyor.
Description of the prior art
Known apparatus of that kind comprises a conveyor belt for pushing the wafer slices against a stop, which is adapted to be lowered, and for transferring the wafer slices to a conveyor belt moving at a higher velocity when said stop has been lowered. Springs are disposed above both conveyor belts in the region extending before and behind the stop and urge the wafer slices from above against the respective conveyor belt. Said springs have the disadvantage that they slide on the top of the wafer slices so that only a low pressure can be applied to the wafer slices if damage to the top of the wafer slices by the sliding contact with the springs and the resulting friction is to be avoided.During a handling of wafer slices which have relatively strong adhering faces, a further disadvantage resides in that the slight spring pressure is not sufficient to ensure that consecutive wafer slices will be separated in time by the two conveyor belts moving at different velocities. As the wafer slices are fed in a plurality of lines, this may result in misalignment and in damage to individual wafer slices by the lowerable stop when it returns to its initial position.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to eliminate these disadvantages.
In apparatus of the kind described first hereinbefore this is accomplished in accordance with the invention in that the feeding conveyor and the delivering conveyor each comprise lower conveying means for carrying the wafer slices and upper conveying means for at least temporarily engaging the wafer slices at their top and the upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor are movable in height relative to the lower conveying means of the feeding conveyor into and out of engagement with the wafer slices on said lower conveying means of said feeding conveyor.That arrangement ensures a reliable separation of consecutive wafer slices because both the wafer slice which is being accelerated by the delivering conveyor and the next succeeding wafer slice are clamped each between upper and lower conveying means as said consecutive wafer slices are separated so that the succeeding wafer slice cannot be pulled along by the preceding one, even if their filler layers adhere at their adjoining faces.The upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor are intermittently moved into and out of engagement with the top of the wafer slices on the lower conveying means of said feeding conveyor and when a given wafer slice has just been taken over by the delivering conveyor the upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor will remain in contact with the next succeeding wafer slice until the stop which is removable from the path of the wafer slices has returned to its initial position, whereafter said upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor are disengaged from the wafer slices on the feeding conveyor.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention, the upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor comprise a driven roller, which extends at right angles to the direction of conveyance and parallel to the plane of conveyance of the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor and is adapted to be lowered into and raised out of engagement with the top of the wafer slices on the feeding conveyor, and is provided, if desired, with an elastic covering. Said driven roller may be guided in tracks which are at right angles to the plane of conveyance of the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor or may be mounted on arms which are pivoted on an axis which is parallel to the plane of conveyance of the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention the driven roller and the stop which is movable out of the path of the wafer slices are adapted to be raised and lowered in unison with each other.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention the upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor comprise a revolving conveyor belt, which is pivoted on an axis that is parallel to the plane of conveyance and at right angles to the direction of conveyance of the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor. Such an arrangement provides for a larger area of contact with the top of the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention the upper conveying means of the delivering conveyor comprise a driven roller, which extends at right angles to the direction of conveyance and parallel to the plane of conveyance of the wafer slices in the delivering conveyor and which is provided, if desired, with an elastic covering. That arrangement ensures that each wafer slice will be engaged at its top and bottom at the same time by the delivering conveyor.
In accordance with a further feature of the inven tion the upper and lower conveying means of the delivering conveyor are provided at their receiving end with a roller which extends at right angles to the direction of conveyance and parallel to the plane of conveyance of the wafer slices in the delivering conveyor and which is provided, if desired, with an elastic covering, and said two driven rollers of the delivering conveyor constitute a pair of rollers for accelerating the wafer slices to said higher velocity. The accelerating rollers may rotate at a higher surface velocity than the remaining delivering conveyor so that a precise separation of wafer slices adhering at their adjoining faces will be ensured even if there is only a slight difference between the velocities of conveyance of the feeding and delivering conveyors.
The apparatus in accordance with the invention permits a precise separation of consecutive wafer slices conveyed at high speeds and will ensure an exact alignment of the wafer slices which are juxtaposed in a row. This result will not be charged even when wafer slices filled, e.g., with caramel, adhere strongly to each other at their adjoining faces.

Detailed description of the preferred embodiments
Illustrative embodiments of the invention will now be described more in detail with reference to the drawing.
The apparatus in accordance with the invention can be described as a row-forming apparatus and is usually employed for handling filled wafer slices, each of which consists of two or more layers of wafer sheets and interposed filling material layers, consisting, e.g., of fat cream, caramel, marmelade or the like. Such wafer slices are made in wafer block slicers, in which wafer blocks filled with the filler composition are cut into wafer slices, which are discharged from such slicers in a plurality of juxtaposed lines, in which consecutive wafer slices abut at their trailing and leading faces, respectively.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the apparatus in accordance with the invention comprises a feeding conveyor 1, a stop 2 succeeding that feeding conveyor, and a succeeding delivering conveyor 3.
The feeding conveyor 1 comprises lower conveying means 4, which preferably consist of a revolving conveyor belt, and upper conveying means 5, which are disposed above the lower conveying means 4 and comorise a roller 6, which is vertically displaceable relative to the lower conveying means 4 and extends parallel to the plane of conveyance and at right angles to the direction of conveyance of the lower conveying means 4. The roller 6 is preferably provided with an elastic covering 7 and from a position in which the roller 6 urges down the wafer slices lying on the lower conveying means 4 can be raised to a position in which the roller is clear of the top of the wafer slices.That roller 6 is suitably operatively coupled to the lower conveying means 4 in such a manner that the surface velocity of the roller is substantially as high as the velocity of conveyance of the lower conveying means 4.
The delivering conveyor 3 comprises upper conveying means 8 and lower conveying means 9 for engaging each wafer slice at its top and bottom, respectively. At its receiving end, the lower conveying means 9 comprise a lower driven roller 10, which extends at right angles to the direction of conveyance of the delivering conveyor 3 and which is succeeded by a e.g., of a conveyor belt which is trained around an edge at the rear end of its upper course. The upper conveying means 8 comprise an upper driven roller 12, which is parallel to the lower roller 10 and, if the lower conveyor belt 11 is trained around an edge at the rear end of its upper course, said upper conveying means 8 comprise a loose roller 13, which lower revolving conveyor belt 11, which consists succeeds the roller 12 and is disposed above the conveyor belt 11.Each of the lower and upper rollers 10 and 12 is provided with an elastic covering 14 or 15 and they rotate at the same surface velocity in mutually opposite senses. That surface velocity may be the same as that of the conveyor belt 11.
The lower and upper rollers 10 and 12 constitute a pair of accelerating rollers, by which each wafer slice is engaged at its top and bottom at the same time at its leading end and is pushed onto the conveyor belt 11. Thereafter the loose roller 13 disposed above the conveyor belt 11 engages the wafer slice at its top and urges the latter against the surface of the conveyor belt in order to increase the friction between the bottom of the wafer slice and the surface of the conveyor belt.
The stop 2 disposed between the feeding conveyor 1 and the delivering conveyor 3 is adapted to be lowered. The descent of the driven roller 6 of the feeding conveyor 1 and the descent of the stop 2 are so timed relative to each other that the driven roller 6 will be in contact with the surface of the wafer slices when the top edge of they stop 2 is moving below the plane of conveyance of the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor. The ascent of the driven roller 6 and the ascent of the stop 2 are so timed in relation to each other that the roller 6 will not disengage from the top of the wafer slices until the top edge of the stop 2 has moved above the plane of conveyance of the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor.
The rows are formed by that apparatus as follows:
When wafer slices abutting at their adjacent end faces lie on the feeding conveyor 1 and the stop 2 is in an upper position, in which the top edge of the stop 2 is disposed above the plane of conveyance for the wafer slices in the feeding conveyor and in the path of conveyance of said wafer slices, and when the driven roller 6 of the upper conveying means 5 has been raised from the top of the wafer slices, the continuously revolving conveyor belt of the lower conveying means 4 will push the wafer slices against the stop 2. Thereafter the roller 6 and the stop 2 are lowered so that the roller 6 engages the top of the wafer slices before the top edge of the stop 2 has moved below the plane of conveyance for the wafer slices.The conveyance of the wafer slices at a velocity which corresponds to the surface velocity of the roller 6 and of the conveyor belt 4 is now resumed. As a result, that wafer slice which is the leading wafer slice in its line and at its leading end face had previously engaged the stop 2 is engaged by the pair of accelerating rollers 10, 12 of the delivering conveyor 3 and disengages the driven roller 6. The pair of accelerating rollers 10, 12 rotating at a higher surface velocity than the feeding conveyor 1 now pull the leading wafer slice in each line from the next succeeding wafer slice, which is now in engagement with the driven roller 6. Because the next succeeding wafer slice is gripped between the conveyor belt 4 and the roller 6, the leading wafer slice cannot pull said succeeding wafer slice along even if said wafer slices adhere to each other at their adjoining faces.Owing to the difference in velocity between the feeding conveyor 1 and the pair of accelerating rollers 10, 12, the leading wafer slice and the next succeeding wafer slice in each line will be separated by a space for receiving the stop 2 as it returns to its initial position. As soon as the trailing end of the leading wafer slice has moved beyond the lowered stop 2, that stop is raised until its top edge has moved above the plane of conveyance in the feeding conveyor. Thereafter the the driven roller 6 is raised from the top of the now leading wafer slice in the feeding conveyor 1 and said now leading wafer slice is pushed against the stop 2, which has returned to its initial position.The pair of accelerating rollers 10, 12 push the leading wafer slice in each line onto the conveyor belt 11, which revolves at the same surface velocity as the two rollers 10, 12. The juxtaposed leading wafer slices of all lines now form a row extending transversely to the direction of conveyance in the delivering conveyor. The formation of the next row is initiated in that the stop 2 and the driven roller 6 are lowered. The spacing of consecutive rows on the conveyor belt 11 will be determined by the interval of time between consecutive descents of the stop 2 and on the difference in velocity between the conveyor belt 4 and the pair of accelerating rollers 10, 12.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1 the entire delivering conveyor 3 may be operated at a uniform velocity of conveyance, which extends the velocity of conveyance of the feeding conveyor 1, or the pair of accelerating rollers 10, 12 of the delivering conveyor 3 may be operated at a surface velocity which exceeds the velocity of conveyance of the feeding conveyor 1 whereas the conveyor belt 11 of the delivering conveyor is operated at a velocity which equals or exceeds the velocity of the feeding conveyor 1.The interval of time between consecutive descents of the stop 2 and any difference in velocity between the feeding conveyor 1 and the
conveyor belt 11 may be selected so that the de
sired spacing of successive rows will be obtained whereas the surface velocity of the two accelerat
ing rollers 10, 12 can be selected so as to promote
the separation of wafer slices which adhere to each -other at their adjoining end faces in consideration
of the time required to lower and raise the stop.
In the illustrative embodiment shown in Figure 2,
each of the lower and upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor 1 comprise a conveyor belt
16 or 17. The lower conveyor belt 16 revolves in a
stationary frame 24. The upper conveyor belt 17
revolves in a frame 19, which is pivoted on an axis
18, which is parallel to the plane of conveyance of the lower conveyor belt 16 and parallel to the di
rection of conveyance thereof. The delivering conveyor 3 comprises a lower conveyor belt 20 and an
upper roller 22, which is disposed above the rear
reversing roller 21 of the lower conveyor belt 20
and is provided with an elastic covering. The two
conveyor belts 16 and 17 of the feeding conveyor 1
revolve at the same, relatively low velocity.The
driven upper roller 22 and the lower belt conveyor
20 of the delivering conveyor 3 revolve at the same
surface velocity, which is higher than that of the
conveyor belts 16 and 17. In order to form a row of
wafer slices, the stop 23 disposed between the
feeding conveyor 1 and the delivering conveyor 3
is lowered and the upper conveyor belt 17 of the
feeding conveyor 1 is swung down into engage
ment with the top of the wafer slices, which lie on
the lower conveyor belt 16 and abut at their ad
joining trailing and leading faces. The wafer slices
gripped between the two conveyor belts 16 and 17
are conveyed by said belts until the leading end of
the leading wafer slice in each line has been
moved beyond the lowered stop 23 and has been
gripped by the delivering conveyor 3 between the
driven upper roller 22 and the lower conveyor belt
20.Thereafter, the leading wafer slice is pulled from the next succeeding one and when the trail
ing end of the leading wafer slice has moved past
the stop the latter is raised into the space formed
between the leading wafer slice and the next suc
ceeding wafer slice. As soon as the top edge of the
stop 23 has moved above the plane of conveyance for the wafer slices the upper conveyor belt 17 of
the feeding conveyor 1 is raised from the top of
the wafer slices and the latter are pushed against
the stop 23 by the lower conveyor belt 16.
It will be understood that the feeding conveyor
of the illustrative embodiment shown in Figure 1
can be combined with the delivering conveyor of the illustrative embodiment shown in Figure 2 and that the delivering conveyor shown in Figure 1 can
be combined with the feeding conveyor shown in
Figure 2.
The stop and the upper conveying means of the feeding conveyor are preferably pneumatically actuated although it will be understood that parts can
also be actuated by other means, such as cam
mechanisms or the like. Finally, all conveyor belts
may be replaced by parallel round belts if this is
permitted by the dimensions of the wafer slices.
It will be understood that the concept of the in vention for forming a line of spaced apart wafer slices from wafer slices arranged in a tine in which
consecutive wafer stices abut at-th & r trailin'g and leading faces, respectively, and that at least part of the adventages afforded by the invention as de
scribed hereinbefore will he afforded also by such
apparatus.
