Definitions

• the invention relates to an arrangement device for workpieces according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
• Such sorting devices are used, for example, to order a variety of e.g. to transport parts or workpieces manufactured in an injection molding machine one after the other and, if appropriate, in a specific position to a further processing and / or packaging station. This possible use is of course only to be understood as an example of the various possible uses of organization devices.
• Known organization devices from which it is assumed in the formulation of the preamble of claim 1, have organization elements, ie vertical or Horizontal deflectors which are intended to separate workpieces lying one on top of the other or next to one another, so that they follow the Organizing elements are separated and arranged one behind the other in any or predetermined orientation.
• organization elements ie vertical or Horizontal deflectors which are intended to separate workpieces lying one on top of the other or next to one another, so that they follow the Organizing elements are separated and arranged one behind the other in any or predetermined orientation.
• they can either be replaced or set using mechanically operated setting elements, such as knurled screws.
• the invention is .
• Aufgabe provide an Principles ⁇ means indicate which is easily adaptable to different workpiece sizes actual and moreover 'can also be integrated in electronically controlled systems.
• the order elements are guided in a guide and can be moved by a defined distance by means of a drive.
• the order elements can easily be repositioned, for example, by a central control unit (claim 10) when the dimensions of the workpieces to be separated change to have.
• a displacement sensor which detects the position of the respective organizing element, ensures that the organizing element actually assumes the required position for the workpieces to be arranged.
• the ordering device according to the invention is thus suitable for integration, for example, into a fully automatic production line which is controlled by electronic control units.
• the positions of the individual order elements can easily be preprogrammed.
• At least one order element can be a vertical deflector;
• vertical deflectors do not have to vibrate in order to fulfill their separating and organizing functions (claims 3 and 4). If horizontal deflectors did not vibrate and thus no "micro-throwing movements" were transmitted to the workpieces lying against them, the workpieces would no longer be reclaimed in the through path and would "hang" on the deflector.
• a simple measure with which the oscillating movement of the horizontal deflectors can be achieved is to attach the horizontal deflectors to the vibration exciter of the conveyor (claim 5).
• the clamping elements are preferably designed as short-stroke pneumatic piston / cylinder units, which ensure a particularly effective transmission of vibrations (claim 7).
• any type of conveyor can be used as the conveyor, for example vibratory spiral conveyors, linear conveyors, belt conveyors, inclined conveyors, Znetrif galfOrder, conical circle conveyors, etc.
• vibratory spiral conveyors linear conveyors
• belt conveyors inclined conveyors
• Znetrif galfOrder conical circle conveyors
• conical circle conveyors etc.
• FIG. 1 a part of a vibration conveyor with integrated horizontal deflector
• FIG. 2 a horizontal deflector according to the invention
• FIGS. 3 a and b a top view and a side view of a vertical deflector according to the invention.
• FIG. 1 shows a vibratory spiral conveyor 1 with a conveyor chute 2, in which workpieces 3 are initially arranged in a disordered manner, ie side by side and one on top of the other.
• a horizontal deflector 5 which is adjustable in the direction of an arrow 4 is provided and, for example, rejects the workpiece 3 ' which lies outside the conveyor route.
• the workpieces are arranged according to the horizontal deflector 5, ie no parts lie next to one another.
• the horizontal deflector 5 has a motor 11 with a gear 12, a potentiometer 13 driven by the motor, a releasable coupling 14, which can be an electromagnetic coupling, for example, and a guide 15 for a horizontal deflector element 16 which, depending on the rotation of the reversible motor 11, assumes a certain position with respect to the conveyor 1.
• the position of the deflector 16 is indicated by the resistance value of the potentiometer 13 driven by the motor 11, so that a specific desired position of the deflector element 16 can be set at any time by a control, not shown.
• the deflector element is displaced in the direction of an arrow 18 and moved into its desired position by correspondingly rotating the motor. After reaching the desired position, the clutch is released so that no vibrations from the deflector element 16 onto the
• Transfer clamping element 17 which takes over the position fixing of the element 16 after loosening the clutch. Since the clamping element 17 is attached to the vibration pot of the vibratory feeder 1, the element 17 transmits vibrations to the element 16 without further measures.
• FIGS. 3a and 3b show a supervision and a side 'rian- view of a Vertikalabticianers.
• the same elements as in FIG. 2 are provided with the same reference numerals, so that a new description can be dispensed with. Since a vertical deflector is intended to strip workpieces lying on other workpieces, it is not necessary for the deflector element 16 to oscillate in order to transmit micro-throwing movements to the workpiece to be arranged. Therefore, it is not necessary to make the coupling 14 releasable. A clamping element can thus also be dispensed with. In the same manner as in the ge in Fig. 2 showed stripper it is possible, however, by twisting the. Ent motor 11 to move the Abstreiferele 16 in the direction 'of arrow 18 and thus in a specific desired position with respect to the conveyor 1 transfer, which is detected by the potentiometer 13.
