Applicationfienfiembcr 14, 1,951, SerialNo. 246L676 a Gl'aimsa (o1..19&-3.4:)
provide means for accuratelylocating-successively in a predetermined position each crate or'box in a moving line, for the purpose, for example, of' receiving a load of bottles, jars or like containers from a handling machine or having bottles or the like removed from the crate or box by such a machine. In this connection, a machine with which the locating apparatus constructed according to this invention is adapted foruse, isdescribed in our British co-pendi'ngpatent application No. 19,871 of1950.
According to the present invention the crates or boxes are carried by spaced parallel conveyor belts or chains, and; a roller or abutment, placed transversely of the conveyor belts or chains, is so mounted that it can be moved down between the belts to a level beneath that of the belts, and moved up intermittently to form a stop for each crate or box in turn, so as to hold it in accurate longitudinal relationship relative to a bottle handling-machine or the like.
A transversely movable presser member may be provided, which is movable intermittently to engage one side ofthe crate or box; already located longitudinally by the roller or abutment, and press it against the opposite sidewall of the conveyor, or a plate provided thereon, so that the crate orboie ispositivelyheld and located both longitudinally and transversely.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference tothe accompanying drawings, in which-- Fig. 1 is a side elevation at the crate locating apparatus.
Fig. 2" is a planview ofi Fig. 1
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram: illustrating the lay-outan-doperation of theapparatus.
Referring to the drawings, the crates l (Fig. 1):, arecarr-iedby parallel spaced conveyor chains Ill which run in horizontal guide. troughs I 2 secured to and supported by cross-members; one of which is shown at l3, connecting the side frames l4 of the conveyor; and" one pair of ground ongaging supporting legs: for the conveyor framework can be seen at I5.
The. chain, guide troughs [2. support atransverse horizontal axis rod I6. upon. which. is pivotally mounted a plate I1 having on its upper surace a, pair of integral opposed brackets I8, these brackets housing the ends of the, axis, pin of, a roller Io positioned between the chains I l, Projecting downwardly from theunderside of the plate I! is a leverin the form of-a pair of struts III, which at their lower endsare pivotally con,- nectedby a cross-pin Z! to the piston rod}: ofa fluid pressure cylinder 2% which isa single acting 2 cylinder; the piston rod 22* being" retracted by an internal spring;
Trunnions 24 on the cylinder 2-3- engage inbeare ing holes inbrac-kets- 25 depending from a plate 26- secured to the undersides of the chain guide troughs I2 so that the cylinder- 23 is. mounted for pivotal movement about a transverse horizontal axis. The piston rod isshown in full lines in Fig. 1 in its fully retractedposition, in which it will be seen that the plate H has been pivoted downwardly upon its axis rod IE to move the roller I9 downwardly to'a position-below the-level of the conveyorc-hains H, so that crates can pass above the roller I-9. When pressure-fluidisadmitted to the cylinder 2-3 through the conduit 21, the piston rod moves the struts 2=0 to thepositionshownin chain linesin Fig; 1", the plate I I' pivoting' upwardly about the axis rod IS and the roller It beingmoved up, to a position above the level of the chains II, to forma stop for one of the crates I0 as shown in chain lines inFig. 1*.
Pressure fluid will be supplied intermittently to the cylinder 23 at timed intervals synchronized with the speed of the conveyor chains H, the arrangement being such that after havingstopped the first crate Ill of a train, the-roller Id lowers and saidfirst crate commences to move along, above the lowered roller, on the conveyor chains II", the roller rising againafter the transverse centre line of the crate has passed beyond the roller. With this arrangement, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3, the roller tilts the crate which is still partly above it, andthe next following crate pushes th tilted crate forwards until the said following crate encounters the raised roller t9, the tilted crate having been pushed completely off' the raised roller to be carried along by the conveyor chains H in the normal way:
A flap or armmember 2 8* is pivotal-1y mounted upon one side frame HI of the conveyor frame by means of a horizontal axis pin- 29 engaged in lugs 3'0 provided on the side frame- I4. At its upper end the arm 28" has a presserplate 31 secured thereto, whilst at its lower-- end the arm 28 is pivotally connected withthe end of a piston rod-32 ofa fluid: pressure cylinder 33, disposed transversely to -the line of travel of the e-rates- It. Fhe cylinder 33 is single-acting; thepi'ston rod 3 2= being spring-returned to its retracted position, and when pressure fluid is supplied to the cylinder 33, through the conduit 34", the piston rod 32 pivots the arm 28 upon the axis pin 29- andthe pr-esser plate 3-1 moves transversely and engages with the side of the crate which has just been stopped by the roller I9, pressing the said crate against a further plate 3-5 secured to theopposite side'frame [4; so that the crate l0 is-positively located both longitudinally and transversely.
It will be noted that the cylinder 33 is conveniently pivotally mounted upon a pivot pin 36 in a pair of lugs 31 on one of the depending brackets 25 in which the trunnions 24 of the cylinder 23 are housed.
The timing of the intermittent operation of the cylinder 33 will be such that it moves the presser plate 3| transversely to hold the crate which has just encountered the raised roller l9, and the presser plate is returned to release the crate from this transverse positioning means im mediately before or coincident with the lowering of the roller I9.
Fig. 3 illustrates the operation and layout of V the apparatus in diagrammatic form, a pressure fluid distributing valve being indicated at 33, which valve 38 is preferably a rotary disc valve, such as is described in our co-pending British application for Patent No. 19,871 of 1950, and will be adapted to control also a bottle handling machine which is filling or emptying the crates ill.
The supply conduit 34 to the cylinder 33 is shown in Fig. 3 as connecting directly with the valve 38, whilst the conduit 2'! is shown as incorporating a further individual fiuid control valve 39 for controlling supply to the cylinder 23, which valve 39 is operated by a further cylinder 40 connected with the valve 33.
