Description
TITLE
Transport device and transfer station
TECHNICAL FIELD
The- present invention relates to a conveyor device according to the preamble to patent claim 1 and a transfer station according to the preamble to patent claim 9. More particularly, it relates to a conveyor device comprising a transfer station and a transfer station for conveyance between a first and a second conveyor track.
PRIOR ART
According to the prior art, material is transported between a first conveyor track and a second conveyor track, located parallel to each other, by the material being conveyed via a first transfer station to a transverse track, which, in turn, transfers the material via a second transfer station to the second conveyor track. A conventional means of configuring the transfer stations, where the conveyor tracks are each constituted by two parallel conveyor belts or chains, is to place a conveyor unit between the chains, which conveyor unit is raisable and lowerable, wherein, in its lowered position, material is allowed to pass the transfer station without touching it and, in its raised position, material is allowed to be conveyed by the conveyor unit without touching the conveyor track leading to the transfer station. By transfer station is meant a device which allows material to be transported from a conveyor track leading into the transfer station to a conveyor track leading out from the transfer station. Conventionally, the conveyor unit in the transfer station is formed by two parallel conveyor belts or chains. All in all, the known solution for transporting material between a first conveyor track and a second conveyor track is complicated and requires 3 driven track parts, plus two lifting devices for enabling the track parts of the transfer stations to be raised and lowered. This means that five separate drive units are required to carry out the transportation.
According to the non-published Swedish patent application SE 0103677-1 , a conveyor device is provided comprising a first, inbound conveyor track, a second, outbound conveyor track and an intermediate transfer station for conveyance between said inbound conveyor track and outbound conveyor track. The transfer station shown in said application allows conveyance between said inbound conveyor track and outbound conveyor track with a superstructure of the transfer station which comprises only a small number of integral components. The intermediate transfer station supports a conveyor track, suspended from a stand, for the conveyance of objects forward and/or back along a principal direction of the conveyor track of the transfer station. Said principal direction substantially coincides with the direction of conveyance of the inbound and outbound track, allowing material to be transported from the inbound track to the transfer station and from the transfer station to the outbound track. The stand is further mounted such that it is displaceable, in a direction forming an angle with said principal direction, between a first position, where conveyance of objects from the first, inbound conveyor track to the conveyor track of the transfer station is allowed, and a second position, where conveyance of objects from the conveyor track of the transfer station to the second, outbound conveyor track is allowed. By virtue of the proposed construction, a transfer station is obtained which is effective, reliable and cheap to produce and maintain.
According to a preferred embodiment, the stand is transported by a continuous belt secured to the stand, transportation of the stand being realized by driving of the belt. This places very high demands upon information about the relative position of the stand in relation to the position of the first and second conveyor track.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
One object of the invention is to provide a conveyor device in which the need for knowledge of the relative position of the stand is reduced. This object is achieved by the characterizing part of patent claim 1. According to the invention, the stand rests on a continuous conveyor track which runs in another direction forming an angle with the direction of conveyance of a conveyor track suspended from the stand. Said direction of conveyance, which
is also referred to as the principal direction, substantially coincides with the direction of conveyance of the inbound and outbound track. The fact that the stand rests on, without being mechanically connected to, the continuous conveyor track allows the stand to be stoppable by separate, suitably arranged stop units, without the need to stop a drive unit provided for the continuous conveyor track. The risk of destruction of the drive unit for the continuous conveyor track should the stand become wedged or otherwise unintentionally stopped is additionally reduced. Transportation of the stand is realized by friction coupling between said stand and said continuous conveyor track.
The invention also relates to a transfer station for conveyance between an inbound conveyor track and an outbound conveyor track.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
The invention will be described in greater detail below with reference to the appended drawing figures, in which:
Fig. 1 shows, in a view from above, a diagrammatic picture of the conveyor device, with a stand, forming part of the conveyor device, placed in a first position,
Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the conveyor device,

Fig. 5 shows, in a view from above, a diagrammatic picture of the conveyor device, with a stand, forming part of the conveyor device, placed in a second position.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In Figure 1 a conveyor device 1 is shown. The conveyor device comprises a first, inbound conveyor track 2, a second, outbound conveyor track 3, and an
intermediate transfer station 4 for conveyance between the inbound conveyor track 2 and outbound conveyor track 3. The conveyor device 1 comprises at least one inbound and one outbound conveyor track, but in alternative embodiments can comprise a plurality of inbound and/or outbound conveyor tracks, for example as shown in Figure 2, in which the conveyor device 1 has a three inbound conveyor tracks 2a - 2c and three outbound conveyor tracks 3a - 3c. An inbound track does not need exclusively to be used for conveyance leading into the conveyor station 4 but can be used alternately for inbound and outbound conveyance. In the same way, an outbound track can be used alternately for inbound and outbound conveyance. The conveyor device always comprises, however, at least one track for inbound conveyance and one track for outbound conveyance.
In the shown illustrative embodiment, the inbound conveyor track 2, the outbound conveyor track 3 and a conveyor track 5 located on the stand 6 are constituted by double conveyor chains 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 5a and 5b. The conveyor chains 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 5a and 5b are formed, in a manner familiar to the person skilled in the art, by continuous chains which rest on slide rails and are driven by drive wheels. In an alternative embodiment, continuous belts can be used instead of chains. Furthermore, instead of two parallel tracks, a single track or more than two tracks can be used.
The transfer station comprises a stand 6, which supports the conveyor track 5. The stand 6 is constituted by a framework 7, which supports the conveyor track 5 by virtue of the slide rails arranged for the chains 5a, 5b being secured to the framework. The framework 7 further preferably supports a drive motor for the chains and cogs and/or drive wheels arranged for operation of the chains 5a, 5b. The framework can also be formed with a cover plate 8, which extends between the respective chain 5a, 5b.
The conveyor track 5 of the transfer station is arranged for conveyance to and fro along a principal direction indicated by an arrow 9. Said principal direction substantially coincides with the direction of conveyance of the inbound and outbound track, allowing material to be transported from the inbound track to the transfer station and from the transfer station to the outbound track. By substantially coincides is meant that the direction of conveyance of the
inbound and outbound tracks at the transition between the inbound track and the track 5 located on the stand is linear or has a slight deviation from linearity, in which the deviation from linearity does not hinder transportation of material between the tracks. To this end, the deviation from linearity should be less than 5°. The same applies to the relationship between the track 5 located on the stand and the outbound track.
In Figure 1 , the stand 6 is shown in a first position 32, where conveyance of objects from the first, inbound conveyor track 2 to the conveyor track 5 of the transfer station is allowed.
In Figures 3 and 4, a first embodiment of the displaceable mounting of the stand 6 is shown. As indicated by an arrow 28, the stand 6 is mounted such that it is displaceable in another direction 28 forming an angle with the principal direction 9. Preferably, this direction 28 is perpendicular to the principal direction 9. The stand 6 rests on, without being mechanically connected to, a continuous conveyor track 30. The fact that the stand 6 is not mechanically connected to the continuous conveyor track means that the stand can be displaced in relation to the continuous conveyor track 30 should the stand be acted upon by a force exceeding the friction force which can be formed between the stand 6 and the continuous conveyor track 30 on which the stand rests. The continuous conveyor track 30 is supported by a frame 31 , which, according to a preferred embodiment, has a substantially covering upper plane surface 32 breached by a slot 33 running in said other direction 28 (Fig. 4). The slot 33 is arranged to allow electrical contacting via cables 34 to a drive unit 35 arranged in the stand 6 for operation of the conveyor track 5 suspended from the stand 6. The substantially covering surface 32 is further breached by a first and a second conveyor chain 36, 37, which constitute the continuous conveyor track 30. By substantially covering surface is meant that the surface does not have any ducts large enough to be penetrated by a normal-sized finger, i.e. any existing uncovered ducts have a minimum cross section less than 10 mm. The slot 33 running in the other direction 28 is preferably placed between said first and second conveyor chain 36, 37. According to a preferred embodiment, the slot 33 running in the other direction is covered by a non-driven continuous belt 38, which has a duct 39 arranged to allow electrical contacting via cables 34 to a drive unit 35 arranged in said
stand for operation of the conveyor track 5 suspended from said stand 6. The cables run through the duct and are fixed thereby. The non-driven track can be secured to the stand to allow sensitivity between the cabling 34 and the stand 6. Alternatively, the stiffness of the cables is sufficient to guide the non-driven track 38 to and fro.
The stand 6 is fixed from displacement in a direction perpendicular to said other direction 28 via walls 40, 41 terminating on the frame 31 , which walls are placed on both sides of the continuous conveyor track 30. The continuous conveyor track 30 is driven by a drive unit 42, which is preferably constituted by an electric motor controlled by a control unit.
According to a preferred embodiment, the transfer station comprises end stops 43, 44 arranged in said first and/or second position, the stand being held in the correct position regardless of whether a drive unit provided for said continuous conveyor track is stopped or kept running.
In Figure 5, the stand 6 is shown in a second position 33, where conveyance of objects from the conveyor track 5 of the transfer station to the second, outbound conveyor track 3 is allowed.
The invention does not have to be limited to the embodiments described above but can be freely varied within the scope of the following patent claims.
