Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system and a method for feeding objects, such as packages.
  • Such a system is known from DE 3202991.
  • upright bottles are transferred from laterally adjacent rows on a feed conveyor into a single row of bottles on a downstream conveyor.
  • the bottles align in a single row due to passing a number of conveyors with increasing speed. No external forces are applied to the bottles; they move across the conveyors solely due to gravity.
  • the system applies to upright bottles and would be unsuitable for e.g. bottles in a horizontal position.
  • a system for recording and sorting objects at a great speed is known from WO 2006/125436 Al
  • the packages are picked up and advanced on conveyors by means of carriers on said conveyors, said carriers thereby applying a force to the packages.
  • the packages are subsequently fed singly to a recording unit at a great speed.
  • the system can be used for handling packages in return vending systems. Some of the returned packages are possibly glass bottles, and if the share of glass bottles in the returned packages is too large, the feeding unit is unable to provide a sufficient number of packages to the recording unit to utilize the maximum capacity of this known system due to the fragility of the glass bottles.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a system for gentle alignment of disorderly arranged packages for subsequent feeding of said packages.
  • a system for transferring objects, such as packages, from a state of disorder at an inlet into at least one line of packages arranged singly at an outlet comprising: at least a first conveying means, at least a second conveying means adjacent to and with a direction of movement substantially opposite the first conveying means, and at least one boundary screen defining a narrowing of the first conveying means, whereby packages are led into at least one line of packages arranged singly at the outlet of the first conveying means.
  • Another embodiment of the invention relates to a system for transferring objects, such as packages, from a state of disorder at an inlet into at least one line of packages arranged singly at an outlet, said system comprising at least a first conveying means, and at least one boundary screen defining a narrowing of the first conveying means, whereby packages are led into at least one line of packages arranged singly at the outlet of the first conveying means.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method for transferring objects, such as packages, from a state of disorder at an inlet into at least one line of packages arranged singly at an outlet, said method comprising the steps of unloading packages into a first conveying means, - advancing the packages on said first conveying means, leading the packages into at least one line of packages arranged singly at the outlet of the first conveying means by means of a boundary screen defining a narrowing of said first conveying means, and advancing packages dropping off the first conveying means on a second conveying means adjacent to and with a direction of movement substantially opposite the first conveying means.
  • the boundary screen prevents packages from falling off from one side of the first conveying means.
  • the packages not aligned singly near the outlet are led towards the second conveying means.
  • the role of the second conveying means is thus to pick up, catch, accumulate and/or collect the packages that are falling off from the first conveying means.
  • the packages advanced on the second conveying means are led back onto the first conveying means. I.e. the packages are advanced towards the inlet end where they once more are loaded back onto the first conveying means.
  • the packages travel in sort of a race track movement by being initially advanced on the first conveying means, transferred onto the second conveying means if not aligned singly at the outlet, advanced on the second conveying means and transferred back onto the first conveying means to start the race track once again.
  • This race track movement is repeated until all packages have been aligned singly at the outlet and advanced singly through a passage near the outlet thereby exiting the system singly.
  • the second conveying means is not adjacent to and/or does not have a direction of movement substantially opposite the first conveying means.
  • packages falling off the first conveying means are advanced on at least a second conveying means.
  • the packages are also advanced by means of a third and/or a fourth and/or a fifth conveying means.
  • Packages not aligned singly on the first conveying means and being led off said first conveying may take an arbitrary route before they possibly re-enter said first conveying means.
  • Another embodiment of the invention relates to a method for transferring objects, such as packages, from a state of disorder at an inlet into at least one line of packages arranged singly at an outlet, said method comprising the steps of - unloading packages into a first conveying means,
  • first conveying means and/or the second conveying means comprises a plurality of substantially parallel conveyors. In another embodiment of the invention the first conveying means and/or the second conveying means comprises just a single conveyor.
  • a method for transferring randomly arranged breakable and/or fragile and/or splintery objects, such as beverage containers made of glass, into at least one single line of objects without damaging said breakable objects.
  • the packages are loaded from a tiltable loading section adjacent to the beginning of the first conveying means. By the loading section it is possible to control how many packages are loaded onto the system according to the invention. Other types of loading sections are possible.
