Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of pneumatic transport of hanging articles, and more particularly of light articles such as for example empty plastic bottles or flasks, preforms etc. Its main object is a new process for forming a train of articles, for example, but not exclusively, for crossing a switch or filling an in-line machine with a determined number of articles.
- the invention also relates to a conveying section for the implementation of this method.
- the main duct is supplied with air, for example by means of several fans judiciously distributed over its entire length; this air is exhausted through the blowing slots in the form of a plurality of air jets for propelling the articles along the blowing channel.
- the blowing channel has a rectangular section and the blowing slots are arranged above the guide rail, which makes it possible to propel the articles by blowing above their flange.
- the blowing channel has the shape of an inverted V, and the blowing slots are arranged below the guide rail, which makes it possible to propel the articles by blowing under their collar.
- the articles can be transported individually, or alternatively in the form of successive trains composed of a given number of articles in contact with one another.
- To date, to form a train of articles only mechanical means are used allowing, on command, to form a temporary stop on the course of the articles.
- the formation of a train of articles is obtained by positioning the mechanical means in the stop stop position, which causes the articles to accumulate upstream of the stop under the action of the transport air jets. After a given period of time in the case of a timed stop stop, or when the number of accumulated items is sufficient (automatic detection for example by means of an optical cell), the mechanical stop is removed. to pass the train of accumulated items.
- This formation of article trains is, for example, implemented immediately upstream of a switch, during the period of time when one channel of the switch is closed. It is also implemented upstream of an in-line machine for filling this machine with a predetermined number of articles.
- this machine can for example be a device for dynamic storage of articles such as that described in European patent applications EP-A-0486360 and EP-A-0485344, or even a processing machine online such as that described in European patent application EP-A0842877.
- this machine can also be a filling machine for filling containers in line.
- the present invention relates to a new method of forming a train of articles which in particular overcomes the aforementioned drawback of the prior art, linked to the implementation exclusively of a mechanical stop for the formation of a train of articles.
- the articles are usually transported in a conveyor line while being suspended and propelled along the line in a given direction of transport (SDT) under the action of transport air jets.
- SDT direction of transport
- the following successive steps are implemented, at the level of a conveying section, known as the section for forming a train: a) accumulation of articles , in at least one zone downstream of the train-forming section, under the action of transport air jets in an area upstream of the section, and by aeraulic deceleration (and possibly stopping) of the articles in the downstream area, b) interruption or reduction of the power of the transport air jets in the upstream zone of the train forming section, so that the articles present in this upstream zone do not enter the downstream zone, and acceleration (or start-up) d 'a train of articles under the action of transport air jets in the downstream area of the train forming section.
- downstream and upstream are defined with respect to the direction of transport (SDT) of the articles in the conveyor line.
- step a) of accumulation of the articles in the process of the invention can be achieved by stopping the articles, or simply by braking them so that their speed is low enough for the articles to accumulate in contact with each other in the form of a train of articles.
- the aeraulic slowing down of the articles during step a) of accumulation can be obtained for example (last solution) by temporarily stopping generating jets of transport air in the downstream area of the train-forming section, the articles only stopping under the effects of mechanical friction and / or possibly thanks to the implementation of a mechanical stop.
- the implementation of a mechanical stop in combination with an a Vogellic slowdown of the articles makes it possible to limit the risks of rebound of the articles, and thereby the blocking of the articles during the formation of the train.
- this solution When implemented without a mechanical stop for stopping items, this solution has the disadvantage of requiring the implementation of a downstream zone, the length of which must be long enough to obtain the loss of kinetic energy. required. This required length is especially greater when the speed of the articles at the entrance to the downstream area of the train forming section is important.
- the slowing down (and possibly stopping) of the articles during the accumulation step a) is obtained by means of reverse air jets generated on the articles. in the downstream area of the conveying section and oriented in the opposite direction to the direction of transport (SDT) of the articles.
- This preferred variant of implementation advantageously makes it possible to obtain the required slowing down (and possibly stopping) of the articles over a shorter distance than that required in the event of braking of the articles under the action of friction forces only.
- the acceleration (or starting) of a train of articles in the downstream zone of the section for forming the train is achieved by means of transport air jets acting below and above the lifting point of the articles. This characteristic advantageously allows the implementation of high power transport air jets, without affecting the stability of the articles of the train during acceleration (or starting).
- Another subject of the invention is a section for the formation of a train of articles which allows in particular the implementation of the aforementioned method.
- This section is known in that it comprises a main air duct which extends over the entire length of the section, and air supply means, fan type, which allow the introduction of pressurized air.
- air supply means fan type, which allow the introduction of pressurized air.
- inside the main air duct, which main air duct, once supplied with pressurized air makes it possible to generate jets of transport air for propelling the articles suspended in a given direction of transport ( SDT).
- the section comprises means for distributing the air introduced inside the main air duct which makes it possible to distribute the air inside the main duct over the entire length. of the duct or to concentrate this air in a zone downstream of the section.
- the section further comprises a reverse blowing duct, which extends exclusively in the downstream region of the section, which is intended to be supplied with air under pressure, and which, once supplied with pressurized air, to generate jets of reverse air oriented articles in the direction opposite to their transport direction (SDT).
- a reverse blowing duct which extends exclusively in the downstream region of the section, which is intended to be supplied with air under pressure, and which, once supplied with pressurized air, to generate jets of reverse air oriented articles in the direction opposite to their transport direction (SDT).
- the section further comprises a secondary air duct which is designed to be supplied with air under pressure, and which extends exclusively in the downstream area of the section, and the main and secondary air ducts, once supplied with pressurized air, make it possible to generate transport air jets respectively above and below (or vice and vice versa) from the point of lift of the articles
