(54) DEVICE FOR TRANSFER OF PRODUCTS

one

The invention relates to the field of mechanization of production processes, in particular, to conveyors along which products move due to the use of gravitational forces, and can be used for oriented transfer of irregularly shaped products in the medical, chemical and other industries.

The known transfer of products along a conveyor made in the form of trays or having a tubular shape, the slope of which allows the products to move under the force of gravity 1.

Such conveyors are used for conveying stuffy loads, the orientation of which in space is indifferent.

The closest to the invention to the technical essence and the achieved result is a device for transferring products, including product carriers, a movement mechanism in the form of pipe sections inclined towards the workplace, and an orientation mechanism made in the form of an electromagnet placed at the pipe outlet.

The device is intended for the orientation of reinforced parts representing

are plastic bows with ferromagnetic fittings in the form of a steel sleeve 2 pressed into them.

The orientation of the balls takes place along the reinforcement and therefore the position of the balls is indifferent to the location of the electromagnets, i.e. the ball may fall out of the transport chute, turning, for example, to the north pole of the electromagnets by the upper or lower end of the sleeve.

The aim of the invention is to provide oriented transfer of products that do not have magnetic properties, such as vials with the neck up.

This is achieved by the fact that each of the product carriers has the shape of a sphere, along the axis of which a socket is made for a product, around which permanent magnets are installed, the total magnetic flux of which is directed along the axis of the socket in one direction.

FIG. 1 shows the described device for the transfer of products; in fig. 2 - spherical product carrier, section.

The proposed device consists of pieces of pipe 1 connecting the filling and closing machine 2 with operating machines 3, installed at workplaces. The pipe sections are inclined towards the workplaces and equipped with 4 flow distributors.

Transnatable from the bottle, nanometer bottles of chemically mn substances intended for research are placed in spherical carriers 5. Each tube section is equipped with an induction sensor 6, which records the passage of the carrier 5. On the output pipe, each operating automatic device is fixed with catup marks 7 and 8. The coil 7 acts as an induction sensor, and the coil 8 is a conventional solenoid. Cutters 9 are installed in front of the coils. Along the axis of the outlet pipeline under the solenoid 8, the Pz1 extracting mechanism 10, the resetter 11 and the transmitting mechanism 12 are installed.

The carrier for the test substance is made in the form of a sphere 13, and an axially nest for the part is equal to the height and diameter of the vial 14 with the test substance. In the bottom of the nest there is a hole of smaller diameter. The vial is prevented from falling out by the springs 15, the nozvol yund, insert them from above and push them out from the bottom.

In the equatorial plane of the carrier ring permanent magnets 16 are embedded.

The device works as follows.

In the filling and closing machine 2, the test substance is dispensed into the vials and rolled tightly. There, the filled vials are inserted into the nest of the carrier 5, after which it is discharged into the pipeline 1 of the conveyor. All pipes of the conveyor are installed at a certain angle, which ensures the safe rolling of the balls. There may be a lot of operational automatics (depending on the research program of the substances), therefore carriers with the same substance are distributed through the distributors of the 4 streams, one for each machine, stopping in front of the cutter 9. Signals that occur in the induction sensors 6 are transmitted to the controllers. computer for registration. After the distribution of one substance by the same method, the carrier 9 with the bottle of another vep, substance, etc., is transported to the cutters 9.

In this way, chains of carriers with different weights located in the same order are accumulated in front of the cutters. .Calculate cut-offs 9 at the command of a computer release one carrier each with one m and the same substance. They, passing by the katu 11ki 7, give out an IMPULSE preparing the whole system of the operating machine for operation. The coil 8 located at the end of the pipeline is under voltage and a constant magnetic flux is created along the end of the pipe. The magnetic flux, interacting with the field of the permanent magnet embedded in the carrier, turns it so that the vial turns the plug 1 upward. The carrier reversal occurs when it is flying in the field of the coil 8 and after it reaches the abutment of the extraction mechanism 10.

After turning the carrier on the stop of the extracting mechanism, it is lowered from the zone of action of the solenoid, the transmitting mechanism 12 turns and stands under it. The removal mechanism pushes the vial upward into the slot of the transfer mechanism 12, which transfers it to the operating machine 3, and the empty carrier is confronted by the diverter 1i into the return conveyor for reuse.

Next, the cutter 9 resets the new carrier with the vial of another substance and the cycle repeats.

Implementing the invention in mass production enterprises (pharmaceutical, food) and in research institutions with a continuous cycle of research will reduce the duration of operations and reduce their labor intensity.
