Definitions

  • a distributor device for substantially long objects such as bars of steel or of metal has a first forwarding device consisting of a plurality of motor-driven rack plates performing a step-by-step advancing motion for first moving one end of one of the long objects forward, a second forwarding device consisting of several groups, each one of which has a plurality of motordriven rack plates performing a step-by-step advancing motion similar to that of the rack bars of the first device, for moving the long objects forward, and a rotating arm for removing the long objects, which are fed into the distributor device, one by one.
  • Such a distributor can, in particular, be used in the metal industry to distribute one by one, after possible disentangling and counting, bars or similar products into a machine used for binding these bars or products into bundles.
  • the present invention is intended to remedy these drawbacks by providing a distributor of the kind that suits, better than the previously known distributors, the requirements of practical working.
  • the invention also consists in certain other arrangements mentioned hereinafter and used preferentially, together with the main aforementioned arrangement.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in plan view, an automatic distributor of long objects, according to the invention:
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are, respectively, views in partial section along planes A-A and 8-8 of FIG. 1.
  • the long objects are metallic bars 1, brought along, in a continuous or discontinuous bed, to the distributor, by a chain conveyor 2.
  • the bars 1 can overlap on conveyor 2 and be brought on in a slightly I oblique direction in comparison with the forward motion of the conveyor.
  • the framework is installed of a first device comprising three inclined and parallel rack-bars 4, 5, 6.
  • Rack-bars 4 and 5 are mobile and driven respectively by rotating eccentric discs parallel one pair to another, 7, 8 and 9, 10. Eccentrics 9, 10 are offset by 180 from eccentrics 7, 8. Rack-bar 6 is fixed.
  • Eccentrics 7, 8 and 9, 10 are driven by a motor 11 and by a suitable transmission device, by means of a gear-train 12.
  • the greater part of the bar then reaches a second device comprising a number of groups of identical parallel rack-bars 14, 15, 16, groups that are apart from one another and distributed along the remaining length of the bars. Every group comprises three curvilinear rack-bars: two mobile rack-bars 17, 18, driven respectively by parallel rotating eccentrics 19, 20 and 21, 22 and one fixed rack-bar 23. Eccentrics 21, 22, are offset by 180 in comparison with eccentrics 19,20. The whole of the mobile rack-bars of the groups are driven by a motor 24 that gives motion, by means of a suitable transmission device, to parallel shafts 25, 26, on which theeccentrics of the rack-bars are held and that are connected by gears 27.
  • Rack-bars 17, 18 and 23 have their end, directed towards conveyor 2, in the shape of an inclined plane 28.
  • the inclined planes of the mobile rack-bars act as a vibrating table for the entangled bars that are brought on them by conveyor 2. The vibration so created facilitates the disentangling of bars which,,drawn by their end that is inserted into the teeth of rack-bars 4, 5, 6, come into the teeth of rack-bars 17, 18 and 23.
  • the groups of rack-bars such as 4, 5 or 17, 18 comprising two rack-bars driven by eccentrics that are offset by 180, could have more than two rackbars, for instance three rack-bars with eccentrics, offset by ltis implicit that the invention is not limited to the mentioned methods of application and realization, it also covers all its variants.
  • each group comprising at comprises a reciprocating device including at least least One fix r k and n movable rack one fixed rack and one movable rack, said racks disposed in parallel substantially vertical planes disposed in parallel substantially vertical planes and inclined at an angle to the horizontal, and said and inclined at an angle to the horizontal with their fixed and movable racks being integral with one lower ends towards the output of an input confixed and one movable flat member respectively of -veyor, said reciprocating device disposed in the vicinity of and laterally to the output of said input conveyor so as to be engaged by only one end of the bars brought by said input conveyor, and a pluconveyor, which-transport system comprises a pluralityiof groups of racks, said groups disposed parallel to one another and spaced apart in a direction transverse to the direction of advance of said vibrating device,
  • a distributor according to claim 1 wherein said means to actuate said movable rack in the reciprocating device comprises rotating eccentrics driven by a rotary motor whose rotating speed is so chosen that the end of the object engaging said rack advances at a speed higher than the speed of advance of said input conveyor.
  • each said vibrating device comprising at least one fixed flat member and one movable flat member disposed in parallel substantially vertical planes and inclined at an angle to the horizontal with their lower ends towards said input conveyor and arranged to be engaged by the bars whose one end engages said reciprocating device,
